Despite the Grimdark universe of Warhammer, it has one of the most wholesome and inviting communities online, and that’s no different inWarhammer 40K: Darktide. However, a few heretics can spoil the mood and ruin the fun for everyone looking for a good time in service of the Emperor. Dealing with these heretics is now possible in Darktide, thanks to the reporting system introduced in the latest “Grim Protocols” update. Here’s how you can report a player in Darktide and let the Adeptus Mechanicus decide their fate.
Reporting a Player in Darktide
Darktide players can now report other players through the Social menu by selecting a report reason and submitting details of the encounter.
After reviewing your report, Fatshark will take the necessary action to deal with the reported player. Since this is a new feature, we’ll have to wait and see how long it usually takes them to take action. This feature is available across all platforms.
Disconnection Punishment
In addition to reporting, players will now receive punishment for disconnecting from a match to circumvent being “downed” to complete harder penances. Disconnected players will now respawn back with the health count they had upon leaving and players who disconnect/ALT+F4 to get around being downed will now spawn back hogtied.
Additionally, if a player leaves mid-mission without reconnecting, it will automatically count as a loss for that player. However, the players in the mission will still be able to complete the mission; and if they do, it will count as a win for the remaining players.
Overall, the reporting feature is a welcome addition to an already fantastic title. Darktide has been through its ups and downs, but it’s a great spot now. It’savailable now on PS5as well and features crossplay.
