Revolutionary Itemization Overhaul "Unlocked and Loaded" brings a significant overhaul to Darktide's itemization system.

This shorter, high-energy mission will test the mettle of even the most seasoned strike teams. The design reflects a balance between challenge and accessibility, a concept that indie developers can incorporate to ensure missions are both engaging and manageable for players of all skill levels.
