Warhammer 40,000: Darktide’s update 1.0.21 is now live, adding scriptures and grimoires to the game’s new Comms-Plex 154/2f map alongside a handful of other fixes and tweaks before the holidays.
Update 1.0.21 also removes player outlines, given how they weren’t working as intended. The feature will, however, return to Warhammer 40,000: Darktide at a later date.
