Since its launch in 2022, turn-based ways face-brutalizer Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters has acquired a string of free updates, with one other due this month. Whereas that replace will add an enemy spawn group referred to as the Tainted Sons, three new bits of wargear for the beleaguered Gray Knights, and two extra warp surge occasions, the newest video on the official Daemonhunters YouTube channel appears to be teasing one thing completely different.
The video, embedded above, is introduced as a transmission from somebody named Grand Grasp Havlik to Inquisitor Vakir, one of many NPCs who joins your ship through the marketing campaign, merely asking: “What do you suppose you might have discovered?” It is bookended by the image of a cranium with a dagger behind it that represents the Officio Assassinorum, the Imperium’s executioners, which supplies us a clue. Possibly we’ll be getting an growth that provides an murderer to our squad? Or lets us do missions with an entire squad of sneaky killers? The actual fact 9 hidden achievements have been lately added to Daemonhunters, it could be one thing substantial.
The Gray Knights may actually do with the assistance. Daemonhunters is a good ways recreation, however an unforgiving one. I’ve by no means bothered bumping the issue as much as Ruthless, not to mention Legendary, and the earlier DLC, Obligation Everlasting, made it even tougher. Whereas I would like to play an Imperial murderer in a stealth recreation, like Dishonored however 40K, I am going to accept having them added to Daemonhunters.
In the meantime, Replace XIII will carry a brand new spawn group of enemies who’ve a great deal of hit factors and a boon that offers them a 15% likelihood to mutate each time they’re attacked. The Tainted Sons can have low armor and resistance although, so fingers crossed we’ll be capable of take them out quick earlier than they remodel into something too horrific. They will embody three new enemies: Nurgling swarms that buff daemons, plague surgeons that may additionally seem in present spawns, and slimy Beasts of Nurgle that immobilize anybody who will get shut.
The brand new warp surges are Beneficiant Effusions, which makes heretics that die within the subsequent three turns grant close by enemies three hit factors, and Roiling Mutations, which mutates each enemy on the map. To fight all that the Gray Knights get a purgation cranium, which targets a single enemy for purging as much as 10 squares away and ignores cowl, an autoloader cranium, which lets a goal carry out their reload capability (or skills, within the case of the dreadnought, who has two), and rad grenades, which trigger bleed. The replace ought to be rolled out on July 25, might the Emperor defend us all.
