[p][/p][p]We’ll see you on the Mourningstar. [/p][p]– The Darktide Team[/p]

[p]The Blight has mutated, twisting the very armor our enemies wear. Watch out for these decaying, disgusting threats. Crushers, Maulers and Scab Ragers in missions with the Event active will bear an infested armor, which makes them slower but much tougher! And beware their vile secretions, the blood they shed might not be so harmless...[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]To make progress in the event, complete missions with the Rotten Armour condition. This goes for any combination of Rotten Armour and other modifiers that are available, such as Rotten Armour and Hunting Grounds, Rotten Armour and Pox Gas and more.[/p][p][/p][p]This event starts on Thursday, July 24, and will run until August 14! Progress in the event will reward Ordo Dockets, Plasteel, Diamantine, and a brand new portrait frame at the last tier![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][h2]Hey Everyone, 
[/h2][p]Hotfix #71 (1.8.3) is currently rolling out across our platforms. In the meantime, you can read the notes below.[/p][p][/p][p]To stay consistent with how Arbites cosmetics have been presented to players, we’ve deployed a fix for an issue introduced with Hotfix #70 where precinct decals were incorrectly appearing on them.

• [p]Earnable in-game cosmetics that include capes will not show a precinct number on capes.[/p]
