Nightmares & Visions - Early Balance Look - Dev Blog Pt. 2
Hey Everyone,
Welcome back to part two of our Early Balance Look for our upcoming release, Nightmares & Visions (coming out March 25, 2025).
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
In case you missed Pt. 1, you can read about the Ogryn Talent Tree rework on this previous post.
Now to pass the mic over to Matteo to discuss some other Balances and Tweaks coming in the upcoming patch.
- Part 1 (Ogryn Talent Tree Rework)
- Part 2 (Ogryn Weaponry Balancing)
- Part 3 (Additional Weapon Changes and Tweaks)
Weapon Balance Changes
In this upcoming update, we are looking to address some of the outliers in the Darktide arsenal, whether over or under-performing.
We approached this objective by tweaking values, but also by adding new features and attack chains, or by shifting the power budget of the weapons, with the goal of giving each of them clear strengths and weaknesses.
In all cases, we made sure that the fantasy of each weapon was maintained or even reinforced by the changes.
Ogryn Weaponry
“Otherwise? –
Otthr… Otews… Or! We get mad, Sah!”
Alongside the giant Talent tree rework, we looked at the weapon selection available to the Ogryn class to spice up some of those that fell a bit out of vogue.
[h2]Blastoom Mk III Grenadier Gauntlet[/h2]
The Ogryn Grenadier Gauntlet melee move-set was often not powerful enough to fulfill its role in this hybrid weapon type.
Conversely, on the ranged side, the ammo magazine and reserves became very punishing in target-rich environments, especially when paired with the longer-than-average reload speed.
We significantly increased the damage potential of the Strikedown melee attacks, while also changing the attack chained after the Light > Heavy string to Light 1 / Heavy 1 to add an easy-to-use Relentless combo.
We also significantly raised the ammo reserves of the weapon and brought the ammo in the magazine up from 4 to 5, and slightly sped up the reload timing.
We slightly raised the fuse timer of the grenade to increase the effective range on longer distances, and made the projectiles ignore the damage reduction multiplier when hitting an enemy on a limb.
Finally, we increased the offensive properties of the Special attack, both for the direct punch hit and the following explosion.

[h2]Cleavers[/h2]
We significantly increased the damage of the Special punch, meaning it can now be used as an actual attack in combos, opening up effectively new attack chains.
While the damage against more heavily armoured enemies remains low, the Special uppercut will still be a reliable tool to stagger any target due to its high Impact values.
For all three marks, we fine-tuned the chain timings of different actions and increased the offensive properties of the Strikedown and Vanguard profiles.
We also slightly improved the dodge distance and speed and the timings related to Block and Push to make the weapon snappier.
For the Krourk Mk VI, we changed the Light 2 damage profile from Strikedown to Vanguard, which gave a small speed increase to the Heavy attacks, but also added a bespoke Heavy Strikedown attack chained only from Push.
This attack chains into Light 3 / Heavy 1, granting the weapon a new short but useful single target combo.
For the Bull Butcher Mk III, we changed the Pushfollow attack damage profile from Light Vanguard to Light Strikedown and added a unique Light Strikedown Stab chained only from the Pushfollow attack.
The new Light Strikedown Stab has a power level multiplier of 550 and chains into Light 1 / Heavy 1, for a quick and easy to use single target combo.
The Krourk Mk IV was already in a good spot after the overall changes to the weapon family, so we only slightly increased the power level multiplier of the Pushfollow attack to make it more useful as the opener for a horde control combo.

[h2] Brute-Brainer Latrine Shovels[/h2]
The Ogryn Latrine Shovels needed some tweaks to remove excessive clunkiness and to give players encouragement to fully utilize their moveset, so the changes on this weapon family will be mainly related to rebalancing action chain times and the different attack profiles.
For all marks, we lowered the chain times to Block for most Light attacks to 0.1s, meaning that now the Block action will be more responsive (but also that the attacks will be canceled before entering the attack window if not careful).
We rebalanced the cleave values for Light Relentless and Light Vanguard attacks to better diversify the profiles, and increased the offensive properties of the Strikedown profiles.
We significantly lowered the chain times after performing the Special attacks of the folding marks (Mk XIX and Mk V), especially for the Light version to increase its use cases.
For the Mk III, we added a bespoke Light Strikedown attack chaining only from Heavy 1 and chaining back to Light 3 / Heavy 1.
We also significantly increased the offensive potential of the Special punch, while tweaking its reach and hitbox to better match the animation.
These changes will give the mark easier but also more interesting decisions when chaining together attacks for single target combos.
We also slightly increased the power level multiplier for the Light 3 attack, as it was further into the attack chain structure, and improved the offensive properties of the Pushfollow attack.
For the Mk XIX, we increased the power level multiplier of the Heavy 2 and Light 3 / Light 4 attacks, to incentivize their use instead of resetting the combo by Block or swap canceling.
The Mk V didn’t need a lot of targeted changes, so we limited ourselves to a small bump to the Pushfollow attack.

[h2]Foe-Rend Ripper Guns[/h2]
In order to improve the consistency of the Ripper Guns, we normalized the minimum pellet count (the amount of shotgun pellets that are always considered hitting an enemy, even if they were actually hit by a lower amount of pellets) between the Hipfire and Braced fire modes for all marks.
We then increased the speed of the Brace action to make it faster to transition to Braced shooting.
Before, shooting in Braced mode was often less effective than just Hipfiring, especially from mid range and further.
After the changes, the choice between the mobile Hipfire mode and the less agile but more controllable Braced mode will be more engaging.
We also increased the ammo reserves of the weapon and slightly increased its ranged cleave values for all marks.
Finally, we significantly increased the offensive properties of Special bayonet attack and reduced the movement speed penalty when shooting in Hipfire mode, to further enhance the “assault” theme of the weapon.
For the Mk VI, we increased its default pellet count and raised the Finesse multiplier, improving the reliability of the shots while also rewarding precise aiming.
We also slightly lowered the move speed reduction when in Braced stance and tightened the Braced spread profile to be more horizontal and less scattered overall, to further differentiate the Hipfire and Braced modes for this mark.

[h2] Bully Clubs[/h2]
To enhance the “brutal beatdown” identity of the Ogryn Clubs, we took a pass on all the attack profiles and increased the base damage of the Light Strikedown, Heavy Strikedown, Light Vanguard, Heavy Relentless profiles.
We rebalanced the armour modifiers against specific armour types, in particular lowering the Unyielding modifiers (which were extremely high on some profiles) and raising the Carapace armour and traitor Captain Conversion Field ones.
We then tweaked the damage and Impact falloff on secondary targets, removing damage caps while still maintaining a curve skewed towards the first targets.
For the Special Slap, we increased the damage of the attack and rebalanced its Stagger properties, lowering the weakspot bonus but increasing the base Impact values. We also greatly improved the chain timings to the Block action.
We also tweaked the chain timings on all marks, often lowering the values to make actions flow better into each other, but also adding more commitment when performing Heavy attacks.
For the "Brunt Special" Mk I, we added a new Heavy Strikedown attack chaining only from Heavy 1 and chaining back into Light 3 / Heavy 1, to introduce a very easy to perform Strikedown combo to the weapon.
The previous Heavy 2 Relentless attack will still be chainable from Light 1, but it will also be available now after a Push action.
Additionally, the weapon will chain into Light 1 / Heavy 1 instead of Light 3 / Heavy 1 after a Pushfollow attack, granting a fast Vanguard combo when controlling enemy crowds.
For the "Brunt's Pride" Mk II, we significantly enhanced the properties of the unique Light Punch performed after any Special attack, to more easily follow up after having staggered an enemy with a Slap.
We also increased the power of the Light 4 attack, and made it more reachable through new combo chains from Light Punch and Heavy 2 > Light 3.
Since the "Brunt's Basher" Mk IIIb Heavy Relentless attack loop is now slightly less performant against single targets, we reworked the combos of this weapon to introduce additional routes.
We added a new Heavy Strikedown attack chaining only from Light 3 and chaining back to Light 1 / Heavy 1, and we changed the chain after Heavy 2 to go into Light 3 / Heavy 1. Building on the already existing Pushfollow attack > Light 3 combo, this will add more opportunities to perform Strikedown attack strings to dispatch any foe.
We also increased the power of the Light 4 attack, as it was otherwise hard to utilize being very far into the Light attack chain.
Finally, we added a minimum time of 0.3s to the Block action to align the weapon to the other two marks.
