Darktide's 'Depths of the Damned' Update Adds Campaign, Boss, and Live Event
A free update brings a story mini-campaign, a new mission with a named boss fight, fresh weapons, and a time-limited event running through October 13th.
What changed
Fatshark has released the Depths of the Damned free update for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. The patch is live now and introduces several distinct pieces of content:
- New weapons added to the arsenal (specific types not detailed in the announcement)
- Terror of the Deep — a new story mini-campaign
- Spillway — a new mission that culminates in a boss fight against The Prophet of Decay
- Allies and Adversaries — a live event running until October 13th, in which players complete Terror in the Depths campaign missions to earn Plasteel, Ordo Dockets, Diamantine, and a new Insignia cosmetic
- Death Korps of Krieg 158th Regimental Rotation — a new set of premium cosmetics arriving in the Commodore's Vestures store at 16:00 CEST on launch day
The live event is framed around Interrogator Rannick dispatching warband members to assist influential figures, providing a narrative wrapper for the limited-time progression rewards.
For players who have been waiting for new structured content, the mini-campaign and named boss represent the most substantial additions — the cosmetic rotation and live event rewards offer a parallel track for those focused on customisation and currency.
