Warhammer 40000: Darktide Traitor Curse Anniversary Update 2 Drops in Time for the Holidays

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide has been enjoying a strong resurgence since its 2022 launch due to its recent class tree rework. Fatshark quickly capitalized on the revived success with a free anniversary update (titled The Traitor Curse Part 1) last month, which saw fixes, balances and cosmetic additions. Now, we are on the precipice of receiving the second half of the anniversary update, The Traitor Curse Part 2.

The Traitor Curse Part 2 is bringing even more content to Darktide, ensuring that the cooperative action continues to live comfortably with an engaged community. While no specific date has been provided by Fatshark, the developer has confirmed that the continuation of the anniversary update will land “before the winter holidays!” Once again, players can expect new content, fixes and improvements.

While the release date specifics may still be a bit hazy, the contents have been (mostly) revealed.

The Traitor Curse Part 2 includes:

  • New Consumables – Stimms: Loot four different Stimms from the field to aid you in the fight against the heretics; restoring health, boosting damage, increasing speed or hasten cooldown regeneration
  • New Weapon Marks: Quartermaster Brunt has new weapon variations available to diversify your playstyle introducing, amongst others, the foldable Munitorum Mk III Sapper Shovel and the Agripinaa Mk XIV Quickdraw Stub
  • Revolver with its fanning technique
    New Mission – Warren 6-19: explore The Carnival’s back alleys and destroy the Moebian production facilities
  • Time-Limited Combat Encounter: The Karnak Twins have been sighted ambushing strike teams across Tertium
  • Quality of Life: Among several tweaks and fixes brought to the game, we have adjusted the Veteran talent tree based on player feedback to make the keystones quicker to reach
  • Ne – – – REDACTED: Expl – – – ola – – – disp – – – at – – – orr – – –
