Warhammer 40k Darktide has grown too chaotic, so Fatshark is "toning down" its extremes

Warhammer 40k Darktide is all about blasting your way through the Chaos hordes, so the prospect of it getting too much might seem a little odd. However, as developer Fatshark explains, a gradual ramping up of player power over the years, alongside increases to enemy density to act as a counterweight, have escalated the industrial FPS game to near-breaking point. Taking performance and stability into account, along with the overall readability of combat, it's pulling back slightly on the "most extreme" scenarios.
