A Guide to Darktide Guides

Hello!

This "guide" is meant to be a collection of generally useful and/or interesting guides that are somewhat up to date or at least relevant one can find here in Darktide's Steam Guide section as well as other internet resources such as YouTube channels one may find useful and/or entertaining.

Ideally it serves as a "landing point" of some sort for newer and/or returning players. It's also convenientto add it to "favorites" so one does not have to hassle with steam's guide browser when looking for Darktide info.

Please feel free to contribute your suggestions for new guides /websites which should be added or guides/websites that should be removed directly in the comments below this guide for the time being.

As much as I love being awarded with community prices and steam points - please consider awarding the guides you've found helpful / useful directly instead!

Now what are you're waiting for? Start educating yourself and keep slaying these heretics more purposeful than ever before!

The Emperor protects.
