The update adds a mission built around stopping a runaway freight train before it destroys its target. The objective puts teams under a time limit and adds another high-pressure scenario to Tertium.

Group Finder

Darktide has always been about teamwork, and now it’s easier than ever to form the perfect squad. The new Group Finder tool helps you connect with players who share your goals, preferred language, and difficulty level. It’s a great way to build your team and dive into missions faster.
