Darktide Veteran Talent Tree Deep Dive
One of the key focuses of the Veteran’s newly revamped talent tree is to “capture the core of the guardsman experience.” This is why the talent tree provides clear lanes of customizability that allow Veterans to pick freely from three different paths. Here’s a look at some of the abilities that will be on the Veteran’s talent tree:
- Executioner’s Stance: Enter Ranged Stance for 5s. When in Ranged Stance you instantly equip your ranged weapon, deal +25% Ranged Damage, +25% Ranged Weakspot Damage, and your Spread and Recoil are greatly reduced. Elite Enemies and Specialist Enemies are highlighted for 5s. Base Cooldown: 25s. This is an augmented version of Volley Fire.
- Voice of Command: Replenishes your Toughness & Staggers all Enemies within 9m. Base Cooldown 45s.
- Infiltrate: Replenish all Toughness and enter Stealth for 6s, gaining +25% Movement Speed. Leaving Stealth Suppresses nearby Enemies. Attacking makes you leave Stealth. Base Cooldown: 60s.
- Shredder Frag Grenade: Throw a frag grenade that explodes after a short delay. Applies 6 Stacks of Bleed to all Enemies Hit, causing Damage over time. This is an augmented version of Frag Grenade.
- Smoke Grenade: Throw a grenade that creates a lingering smoke cloud for 10s. The cloud blocks line of sight for most enemies and reduces the sight range of enemies inside it.
- Krak Grenade: Throw a grenade that deals devastating Damage. Sticks to Flak Armoured, Carapace Armoured & Unyielding Enemies.
Darktide’s revamped talents will be available October 4th!
