Darktide’s first update for 2024 revises penances, adds puzzles, pox gas, and a new enemy

While it’s had several hotfixes already this year, Darktide will be getting its first significant 2024 update in late April. As developer Fatshark explains on its blog, this update—called the Path of Redemption—includes a reinvented penance system. Previously, penances were achievements that occasionally rewarded players with a cosmetic. Under the revised system, the points earned for completing them will progress you along a track of cosmetic rewards including, “frames, insignias, trinkets, emotes, end of round poses, character cosmetics, and weapon skins” as well as backpacks, titles, and cosmetics based on the outfits worn by the characters in Darktide’s trailers and art.

To add some much-needed variety to missions, they’re having new “puzzles, challenges, and collectibles” added to them, though the blog post doesn’t go into specifics on those. It does mention one new enemy, a Dreg Tox Bomber who throws blight grenades, and a new condition called “Pox Gas”.
