How co-op works
Four-player online missions combine melee and ranged specialists against dense hordes and disabling enemies. Straying from the strike team stops proximity-based Toughness recovery and lets captors immobilize isolated Rejects, so teammates must maintain formation, free one another, and adapt loadouts to mission conditions.
About this game
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide drops you into the brutal hive city of Tertium as one of four expendable rejects fighting to reclaim the city from heretics, mutants, and Chaos-corrupted horrors. From Fatshark, the studio behind Vermintide, this is a relentlessly violent first-person co-op shooter built around teamwork under pressure.

Your squad carves through hordes using a mix of melee brutality and ranged firepower, combining class abilities, weapon variety, and moment-to-moment communication to survive overwhelming odds. The combat demands constant awareness of your teammates' positions and resources, with special enemies requiring quick callouts and coordinated responses to stop.
Darktide supports online co-op and includes cross-platform multiplayer, letting squads tackle procedurally varied missions that test coordination and adaptability. Runs are fast, chaotic, and communication-heavy, rewarding groups that stay tight and call out threats before they spiral out of control.
