Love the intro. A small note to add regarding death: the spawn point that you will appear at is based in checkpoints crossed by the player who travels deepest into the level. If your entire team backtracks through the level before you respawn then there is a chance you can respawn closer. This is pretty much impossible with pugs in some random group even if you're standing right next to a checkpoint because if just one person runs ahead rather than running back through the level the respawn will be based on where they are rather than the rest of the team, but in my premade teams we managed to get the dead player to respawn at almost the same spot they died a few times just by running back toward the start of the level together during the countdown.
Nice tip I've tried to get pugs to do this, have them ignore me and we lose one more player and wipe before the res point. In pre-made it can make clutch moments less frequent and much easier to handle.
Your production quality is amazing. Not hating but my honest feedback would be to make the thumbnails look more attractive. I honestly have no idea how to make a cool thumbnail. I’m only saying this because looking at the thumbnail before tapping on the video, I’d have never expected something so well made. Glad I found your channel and thank you!
Thank you for the feedback. I'm not that great at making thumbnails. I've been learning Adobe Photoshop and Premiere since February. I've changed this thumbnail. Let me know what you think. I think I'm going to have to start getting community feedback on thumbnail appeal.
@@cashcrop_looks cooler now for sure! Thanks for responding and sharing your experiences. Can’t imagine the challenge of figuring out Adobe but I’m glad you’re investing yourself. Darktide is an awesome game and the way your videos are paced is perfect for my boomer brain so I’m definitely gonna be following 👍
The only thing I'd add is that while experimenting while you level if you are disappointed with a certain weapon it may actually become worth revisiting with a bigger and better stat spread when you are at max. There may be a build out there that helps it a lot as well.
Thumbs up for doing the Emperor's holy work. 10:01 dying and respawn points: the trick should be mentioned that the team can force a nearer respawn point (not in enemy territory) by running back when the player dies. Good luck pulling this off with pubs though. 11:38 going to melk and hadron as psyker even if you use only staves benefits your vet and zealot (a lot in my case, hence the mention)
Good points. Thank you for sharing. There are so many little nuances to perfecting teamplay in missions...seems like another video on the subject is in order.
@@murdurmuffin7872 I assume @pirx9798 is referring to acquiring Blessings to add to your collection, since Psyker, Vet, and Zealot have many weapons in common across them.
That opening sequence!! Wow! Really interesting and cinematic. I think this is the perfect primer for anyone starting or playing the game. Covered all the key pieces in enough detail. I learned a couple of things - chiefly that I never thought of 'infested' or 'maniac' as armor types, but I see how it makes sense. I'm tempted to come back and play soon (went back to Vermintide, which is still a great game). Nicely done sir.

It is only acceptable to double dip on ammo if both of the following are true: 1. You have a staff wielding Psyker on your team who doesn't use ammo. 2. You're a veteran
Thanks, JP. This video was a lot of cuts, as the subject matter was so high level. I forgot about that with my Fundamentals video. That, too, took a while to put together.
Another great video! Yours are honestly the most helpful I've seen. I've been playing off and on since beta and I've still been learning from the stuff you upload. Cheers!
I read through the patch notes just now. There wasn't anything there that would indicate any information here is incorrect. I'm downloading the patch now to test some things I've laid out here. We'll see if I have to pull it and rework it.
This guy legit being one of the only people on the internet I've seen explaing how that you need to keep your health above 0 at all times basically. I can't say if it's funny as shit, weird, interesting or confusing that he does this but i'm here for it regardless
Haha! I got two lvl 30 characters, but until now I never knew what that Auric and Maelstrom stuff was people were talking about. I just thought I was unlucky with RNG when hoardes of crushers suddenly popped up. Some Heresy missions would be a walk-in-the-park, while others were an absolute nightmare. Now I know why:-).
Thank you. Can't please everyone. The link on the Launcher for Darktide markets this to returning players for tips and tricks to keep their team alive. That really isn't what this video is about and I avoided the phrase "tips and tricks" in my own marketing of it. No big deal though, still sitting at a 97:3 Upvote:Downvote ratio. All good.
I think the dislikes are sourced mainly from disagreeing with the title like I do. 1000hrs boast usually entails a deeper depth into mechanics than surface level
@@poptartninja9496 The whole "way too many dislikes" was ironic, using the logic that they were too little, but still too much. But I can understand where you're coming from, I'm sure he can use the input.
Wow, I just downloaded this game since it was added to gamepass, and wanted to learn more. Just watched this video and I think this is one of the most helpful, informative and straightforward introductory guides for any game I’ve ever played lol. Great job with this! I was definitely helped a ton with this, thanks!
This is a really good and detailed video and enjoyed watching through it to see if I forgot or missed anything. I would've added tips on dealing with a daemonhost. I've played a lot of games recently with random new players who don't know that they do not need to start fighting it or stop using AOE when nearby.
Thanks, Jack! I appreciate it. It's going to be a long road unlearning what we've all come to know over the past year, then wrapping our minds around what Patch 13 laid before us. Once I have a solid overall understanding of what we're dealing with, I'll have to go back to all my old videos and add "corrections" to the description. I'll likely compile these with previous "corrections" and make a video for each one, or a compiled single video. This patch is going to be awesome!
I have played this game for like 400h and I didnt knew there was a button to switch to auric level difficulty! Fucking hell all those possibilities, you never stop learning! Great video for new varlets and old cannon fodder aswell :D
This is an excellent video, the only thing I would add is how to obtain Blessings for your blessing pool. I originally thought you would just gain them when you broke down a weapon, because I'm stupid.
Thus was an awesome video for new players but after 1000 hours I expected more gameplay and skill based tactics or just deeper/more advanced info. Still a really efficient and great video. Very good.
@@cashcrop_ great video though, don't get me wrong! Incredibly informative for people starting or even me as a returning player with 230 hours to get back in action.
Proficiency means you can take out a horde and maybe a pox hound by yourself... Made me feel good about myself,, im fairly new to darktide, playing on Xbox. Got my zealot to 30 and use eviscerator and lawbringer shotty. On t4 i can deal with a horde that includes 2-3 ragers, hounds and flamers, not to mention all the little shooters hanging around the edges. Its sweaty, im dodging, sliding, blocking etc... so much fun. Tried an auric lvl damnation maelstrom, w/high intensity shock troop gauntlet, 20% increased cooldown, archivum sycorax. Me and a squad of pc sweats smashed our heads against it 5 times and only got about 3/4 of the way through. Really really tough but still fun.
That's awesome! Congrats. It does feel good when you get through those "overwhelming" situations in melee. When it's make or break time it's nice when you make it.
kark me, everytime i check out your content is keeps getting better brother. keep up the awesome work! also on a side note are you planning on playing with channel followers at anypoint? id love to sit down and crush some heretics with you one day ^^

@@cashcrop_ yeah, I get it. your presentation and production quality is awesome. once that darktide algorithm starts hitting for all the people looking up builds and more of your videos end up in their feed you're gonna take off. long form or short form you're one of the best darktide creators there is.
Correction at 14:40 - Quickplay provides +20% Experience, not +10%. Thank you @Chevalier_knight for pointing out that the color for corruption may appear purple instead of pink.
"ky-rur-jen" Legit great editing and production quality for such a small channel. Nice job! Would like to add under the "leveling" section, highlight on "complete with relative certainty". Do NOT be the person that hits lvl 15 and starts joining Damnation missions. Stop making people carry you so you can level faster. Go to a difficulty that you can actually be useful in.
Thank you for the kudos. I wonder how it will work out with the new skill trees. In the OG Darktide, depending on the class, there were some very important Feats that flushed out classes (especially Psyker). With how things are now, I'm curious. Perhaps I'll roll up a new dude and have a go. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment!
11:23 - Regarding ammo box, it seems that as of the newest patch, it also resupplies the grenades to full (I haven't read the changelog, so no idea if it's a bug or an intended feature).
@@cashcrop_ Figured it out. It's a talent in Veteran's tree. "Field Improvisation" in the middle tree path (right before Voice of Command ability). It makes healing packs heal 2x as fast, cleanse corruption and heal toughness, AND makes ammo crates restore grenade. It's teamwide - regardless of who drops the pack, as long as the veteran in the team has the talent. Basically a must-pick, lol.
modifying gear is only worth it if the base rating is high enough to justify the expenditure of that precious plasteel. generally i won't waste it on anything below 350.
I'm a little pickier on my Ogryn, since there are so few weapons to choose from. I don't waste anything on sub-360 unless I'm testing something or fishing for Blessings.
This is probably a stupid question but how do you end up with a ton of perks to choose from when re rolling things? I know how you get blessings but do perks get surrendered as well when you strip a blessing off something?
@@cashcrop_ any tips on leveling zealot? I figure maybe bleed is good till i hit 30 and eventually get to difficulty 3. I figure it probably doesnt really matter.
@@infrared6973 I'm about to experience all of it for the first time, shortly. Here is a video by j_sat (the guy I learned VT2 from) talking about the Talent Trees: www.twitch.tv/videos/1940970982 Zealot starts around 58:20.
Everything in the update is great, except... there is no difficulty at all anymore. Even hardest maelstrom feels like malice, i really hope for a hotfix soon !
The power fantasy is fun, for now. There have been a couple moments where things get a little hairy, mostly when people are trying out new things. With very strong builds on every member of the Strike Team? Sometimes it's tough to find something to do because everything is dead.
Can someone tell me how to actually get diamantine cause I'm lvl 10 now and haven't seen the resource drop anywhere I also haven't changed my difficulty maybe it only drops on harder difficulty modes ? 🤔
I believe there is more of it in higher difficulties. Eventually, you'll be swimming in it, as the requirements for Plasteel will far outweigh the amount of Diamantine that is required.
I disagree with you on the fastest way of leveling up. The higher the difficulty the higher xp you gain, yes. BUT maths says if you enter a higher difficulty, the higher chance you will fail the mission (if you are not good enough). Also, the higher the difficulty the more enemies you will encounter. The more enemies you encounter, the more time you spend on the mission. The more time you spend on the mission, the slower you level up. So if you enter high difficulties to level up, you may level up slower than on lower difficulty, because you may not complete the mission, ending up with very few xp at the end. To level up consistantly and fast, you shall grind uprising missions. The time-difficulty-xpamount ratio is the best on uprising.
Wonderful introductory video for beginners, however this title is EXTREMELY misleading since anyone with a few hours of playtime will understand just about every single thing you mentioned. Should've been titled darktide for dummies or ultimate crash course or something along those lines. Reading the title made me expect jsat levels of information
Thank you for the kudos, @poptartninja9496. I'll address all three of your comments here, as they all say the same thing. What an individual can learn in 1000 hours of exposure to something can vary. A medium such as this is incapable of adjusting to degrees of learning speed. Expectations. That being said, quantifying the amount of time it would take to understand everything I've laid out in this video isn't possible. There is a comment on this video of someone who didn't know that effigies were resurrection sites after 800 hours in game. I'm pleased I could help fill that information in. Would that individual have learned that over the next 200 hours of play? Perhaps. The amount of information one can put together and utilize for their benefit in a certain timeframe is entirely subjective. I went through many titles on this video, none of them included the word "dummies." Using the word "ultimate" or something similar in the title could also invite the very thing you're outlining here. It could also invite downvotes. Which, in your opinion, my title is the reason for those that I've received. Titles are tricky. To sum up, I've been doing this for about 6 months (so not very long), and am experimenting with various things. I will say that this is my highest performing video to date by a wide margin. Thank you for sharing your opinion, and I'll certainly keep it in mind for the future (learning process). Looking at the metrics of this video, things are currently the best they've been. An issue now exists. I typically change my titles after the video's performance begins to flatline. As I see it, since this comment and two more just like it exist I have only two options: 1) Change the title like I normally would and then nuke all three of your comments which I don't usually do 2) Leave the title
After some thought and some coffee, I have decided that you're right. Option 3: change the title and acknowledge it in the comments. Thanks for the feedback.
A very honest and based response, you're a good person. I appreciate avoiding censorship and as a newer content creator I think you're doing a great job
@@cashcrop_ i learned all these things by me, i enjoy doing that and i dont need a cringe guide, but hey, if u learned all these things in 1000 hours...i dont judge man, when a guide "how to do auric maelstorm after 1000000 hours"?
In all seriousness, @@I_Nale_ , I'll break it down. "1,000 hours of understanding," as a title, means I have at least 1,000 hours in the game, and here is my understanding of "core concepts" (what is on the title card). I am glad that you agree that your 5 to 10 hours that are required to understand what I've laid out in a sub-twenty-minute video saves time, so thank you for that.
Lil bro didn't care enough to elaborate on what he meant but I ultimately agree, 1000 hrs in the title would suggest more than surface level details. Still a good video for what it actually is, a basic understanding
The functionality exists, as Fatshark can do it, and has (for offensive names and they don't ask you what you'd like to change it to, as far as I'm aware). It wouldn't surprise me if this is allowed in the future. There is a mod that exists where you can now change your height and write it back to the server, so there is hope! Thanks for watching!
Your production quality is the best I've seen for any Darktide related channel. Keep up the good work!
It’s meticulous work, but I have a good time with it. Thanks for the sentiment and taking the time to watch and leave a comment.
Love the intro. A small note to add regarding death: the spawn point that you will appear at is based in checkpoints crossed by the player who travels deepest into the level. If your entire team backtracks through the level before you respawn then there is a chance you can respawn closer. This is pretty much impossible with pugs in some random group even if you're standing right next to a checkpoint because if just one person runs ahead rather than running back through the level the respawn will be based on where they are rather than the rest of the team, but in my premade teams we managed to get the dead player to respawn at almost the same spot they died a few times just by running back toward the start of the level together during the countdown.
That is a very good point. I'll add it to my growing list of advanced tips.
Nice tip I've tried to get pugs to do this, have them ignore me and we lose one more player and wipe before the res point. In pre-made it can make clutch moments less frequent and much easier to handle.

@@cashcrop_ yeah, I get it. your presentation and production quality is awesome. once that darktide algorithm starts hitting for all the people looking up builds and more of your videos end up in their feed you're gonna take off. long form or short form you're one of the best darktide creators there is.
Nice video, learned a lot
Glad it was helpful!
Top-tier montage indeed.
Thank you for that.
Correction at 14:40 - Quickplay provides +20% Experience, not +10%.
Thank you @Chevalier_knight for pointing out that the color for corruption may appear purple instead of pink.
Are you clolor bind ? You said pink for corruption but its purple.
@@Chevalier_knight Lol, adding it.
@@cashcrop_ lol i asked two friends what colour it was one said pink one said purple its that dress all over again
@@Chevalier_knight Ha ha! That is exactly what popped in my head when I read your comment.

Legit great editing and production quality for such a small channel. Nice job!
Would like to add under the "leveling" section, highlight on "complete with relative certainty". Do NOT be the person that hits lvl 15 and starts joining Damnation missions. Stop making people carry you so you can level faster. Go to a difficulty that you can actually be useful in.
Thank you for the kudos. I wonder how it will work out with the new skill trees. In the OG Darktide, depending on the class, there were some very important Feats that flushed out classes (especially Psyker). With how things are now, I'm curious.
Perhaps I'll roll up a new dude and have a go.
Thanks for watching and taking time to comment!
Very good video!
Thank you very much!
Great video👍
Thank you.
11:23 - Regarding ammo box, it seems that as of the newest patch, it also resupplies the grenades to full (I haven't read the changelog, so no idea if it's a bug or an intended feature).
I know the Zealot knives, and I think the Psyker shards are resupplied through ammo boxes.
@@cashcrop_ Figured it out. It's a talent in Veteran's tree. "Field Improvisation" in the middle tree path (right before Voice of Command ability).
It makes healing packs heal 2x as fast, cleanse corruption and heal toughness, AND makes ammo crates restore grenade.
It's teamwide - regardless of who drops the pack, as long as the veteran in the team has the talent.
Basically a must-pick, lol.
@@KubinWielki I'll keep an eye out. I've only made it through the Ogryn and Zealot trees so far. Thanks for sharing!
Superb video
Thank you so much 😀
Great video!
Thank you.
thank you mr tide
No problemo.
The thing with the data tool is to wait until the reticle has FULLY entered the highlighted square or else it will fail.
Good point.
I have a tip that is super secret so make sure you dont tell anyone. Especially my teammates. You can block while helping someone up :)
You autoblock, right?
800 hours and I had no idea those effigies were respawn points
Yeah, it was pointed out to me some time ago, but I certainly didn't know it right off the bat. I thought it was just there for decoration.
Well made
Thank you.
Huh never knew those icons represented respawn points. The more you know
Indeed. Once you understand where they are, the team can pull away from them to force a respawn there.
@@cashcrop_ it’ll def be helpful when me and my friends get back into darktide. Also splitting the elites via immobilizers and area denial is genius
modifying gear is only worth it if the base rating is high enough to justify the expenditure of that precious plasteel. generally i won't waste it on anything below 350.
I'm a little pickier on my Ogryn, since there are so few weapons to choose from. I don't waste anything on sub-360 unless I'm testing something or fishing for Blessings.
KAI RUE JOHN- Chirurgeon
I like the music he's listening to.
This is probably a stupid question but how do you end up with a ton of perks to choose from when re rolling things? I know how you get blessings but do perks get surrendered as well when you strip a blessing off something?
It's a list of them. You have access to all Perks and tiers of them from day one.
@@cashcrop_ so you just have all the perks immediately but blessings you gotta find? I swear ive always wonder that about perks. Thanks cash!
That is correct. Thankfully we do not have to collect the Perks too.
@@cashcrop_ any tips on leveling zealot? I figure maybe bleed is good till i hit 30 and eventually get to difficulty 3. I figure it probably doesnt really matter.
@@infrared6973 I'm about to experience all of it for the first time, shortly. Here is a video by j_sat (the guy I learned VT2 from) talking about the Talent Trees:

Zealot starts around 58:20.
Is that the Barony soundtrack?
I had to go look up Barony. If you're referring to the final song, it is called "Mysterious" by Alexey Anisimov.
Everything in the update is great, except... there is no difficulty at all anymore. Even hardest maelstrom feels like malice, i really hope for a hotfix soon !
The power fantasy is fun, for now. There have been a couple moments where things get a little hairy, mostly when people are trying out new things. With very strong builds on every member of the Strike Team? Sometimes it's tough to find something to do because everything is dead.
@@cashcrop_ Yep exactly.
Can someone tell me how to actually get diamantine cause I'm lvl 10 now and haven't seen the resource drop anywhere I also haven't changed my difficulty maybe it only drops on harder difficulty modes ? 🤔
I believe there is more of it in higher difficulties. Eventually, you'll be swimming in it, as the requirements for Plasteel will far outweigh the amount of Diamantine that is required.

leave any match with someone playing vet is my tip
Shots fired!
can i get the vermintide skins on xbox?
I assume so.
I disagree with you on the fastest way of leveling up. The higher the difficulty the higher xp you gain, yes. BUT maths says if you enter a higher difficulty, the higher chance you will fail the mission (if you are not good enough). Also, the higher the difficulty the more enemies you will encounter. The more enemies you encounter, the more time you spend on the mission. The more time you spend on the mission, the slower you level up.
So if you enter high difficulties to level up, you may level up slower than on lower difficulty, because you may not complete the mission, ending up with very few xp at the end. To level up consistantly and fast, you shall grind uprising missions. The time-difficulty-xpamount ratio is the best on uprising.
I agree that the highest difficulty you can consistently complete will provide the most XP gain and leveling speed.
The whole enemy types and theirs armors helps me the most. It would be nice to have a compendium in game for a lot of the mechanics.
An in-game compendium would be pretty dope. I'm glad this helped you. That's why I made it. Mission complete.

Thank you.
Have a coffee on me!
That is super kind of you. Thank you!
Wonderful introductory video for beginners, however this title is EXTREMELY misleading since anyone with a few hours of playtime will understand just about every single thing you mentioned. Should've been titled darktide for dummies or ultimate crash course or something along those lines. Reading the title made me expect jsat levels of information
Thank you for the kudos, @poptartninja9496.
I'll address all three of your comments here, as they all say the same thing.
What an individual can learn in 1000 hours of exposure to something can vary. A medium such as this is incapable of adjusting to degrees of learning speed. Expectations.
That being said, quantifying the amount of time it would take to understand everything I've laid out in this video isn't possible. There is a comment on this video of someone who didn't know that effigies were resurrection sites after 800 hours in game. I'm pleased I could help fill that information in. Would that individual have learned that over the next 200 hours of play? Perhaps.
The amount of information one can put together and utilize for their benefit in a certain timeframe is entirely subjective.
I went through many titles on this video, none of them included the word "dummies."
Using the word "ultimate" or something similar in the title could also invite the very thing you're outlining here. It could also invite downvotes. Which, in your opinion, my title is the reason for those that I've received. Titles are tricky.
To sum up, I've been doing this for about 6 months (so not very long), and am experimenting with various things. I will say that this is my highest performing video to date by a wide margin.
Thank you for sharing your opinion, and I'll certainly keep it in mind for the future (learning process). Looking at the metrics of this video, things are currently the best they've been.
An issue now exists. I typically change my titles after the video's performance begins to flatline. As I see it, since this comment and two more just like it exist I have only two options:
1) Change the title like I normally would and then nuke all three of your comments which I don't usually do
2) Leave the title
After some thought and some coffee, I have decided that you're right. Option 3: change the title and acknowledge it in the comments.
Thanks for the feedback.
A very honest and based response, you're a good person. I appreciate avoiding censorship and as a newer content creator I think you're doing a great job
No Chat of Voice chat is active , how i can work this ! ???
If you're playing on PC, it's likely a fix in System Settings for Input device. If it's on XBOX, I couldn't tell you.
Yea i'm using PC and i still i can't figure it out , only when i enter it gives me a blank square but it seems not working @@cashcrop_
Neither. Just hit lv 30 with zealot totally over it and uninstalled
Right on. It's not for everyone.
I just unga tbh
Do you bunga, though?
@@cashcrop_ thats the problem, bunga is the hard part but probable
If this is a 1000 hours of understanding then im literally God, man, u just need 5 or 10 hours to understand these things💀
18 minutes and 39 seconds if you watch the video
@@cashcrop_ i learned all these things by me, i enjoy doing that and i dont need a cringe guide, but hey, if u learned all these things in 1000 hours...i dont judge man, when a guide "how to do auric maelstorm after 1000000 hours"?
@@I_Nale_ 1,000,000 hours is longer than the average lifespan of a person.
In all seriousness, @@I_Nale_ , I'll break it down.
"1,000 hours of understanding," as a title, means I have at least 1,000 hours in the game, and here is my understanding of "core concepts" (what is on the title card).
I am glad that you agree that your 5 to 10 hours that are required to understand what I've laid out in a sub-twenty-minute video saves time, so thank you for that.
Lil bro didn't care enough to elaborate on what he meant but I ultimately agree, 1000 hrs in the title would suggest more than surface level details. Still a good video for what it actually is, a basic understanding
What the hell was that waste of time at the start though. 😢
A skippable chapter. They're not for everyone. Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts.
@@cashcrop_ just thought I would share. Not the best thing to come into as a new watcher.
Cheers for the great content after though.
@@Kristaliorn I've considered cutting them in the past, but some folks like them. Perhaps a poll is in order.
They need to let you change your name. When I made my characters, character creation was bugged and I had to take a name generated by the game.
The functionality exists, as Fatshark can do it, and has (for offensive names and they don't ask you what you'd like to change it to, as far as I'm aware).
It wouldn't surprise me if this is allowed in the future. There is a mod that exists where you can now change your height and write it back to the server, so there is hope!
Thanks for watching!
