Mission types in Warhammer 40K Darktide
There are seven mission types currently in Warhammer 40K Darktide, ranging from clearing out the level of enemies to assassinating a specific tough opponent. Completing each of these mission types at least once is required for certain Darktide Penances, such as Vantage Point for the Veteran’s Sharpshooter class Penance.
Here are the Warhammer 40K Darktide mission types:
- Assassination – Assassinate a target at the end of the level
- Disruption – Disrupt an enemy plan or movement in the level such as disabling radio towers
- Espionage – Sabotage the enemy encampments and upload inaccurate data to get the leg up on the enemies
- Investigation – Collect enemy intel or plague residue before escaping from the level
- Raid – Break into a fortified structure and escape with a valuable object
- Repair – Reach a piece of equipment and repair it as you fight and survive
- Strike – Clear out enemies and reach the objective
All of these mission types rotate in and out of the mission select screen when you are in the Mourningstar hub area. Additionally, side objectives and special mission modifiers will also change as the mission types rotate from the mission terminal, creating diverse and dynamic missions even within the same mission type. Those looking for a challenge will be glad that all of them can be played on all difficulties, so suit up and test your strength.
