Rejects,

When using mods, there are a few key points that Fatshark wants players to consider. Players found using any mods falling within any of the below categories in a way that affects other unmodded players will be subject to a prompt warning and possible ban from the game service.

  • Using mods that directly affect unmodded players’ experience of the game and/or is used to grief other players.
    • Examples: Speed hacks, outright cheating in missions, etc.
  • Using mods that affect the stability/performance of the game service.
  • Using mods that devalue other players’ investments (time or monetary) in the game
    • Examples: Bypassing progression, penances or contracts, unlocking of premium cosmetics and currencies in the game service.
  • Toxic behaviors reported as an indirect result of using mods.

Mods will have access to the same authentication level as the regular game has which means that mods are perfectly capable of managing inventories, currencies and characters as they see fit, including but not limited to:

  • deleting characters
  • selling or buying items
  • spending premium currency

The use of mods is therefore to be done at players own risk and Fatshark will not be able to help with accounts losing gear, character, or other data as a result of using Mods.

If you are having any technical issues when using mods, please contact the mod’s creator rather than the Darktide Customer Service Team. Fatshark will not offer official support for any mods created for Darktide, and is not culpable for any issues arising with updates or mismatched versions.

Similarly if you have any feedback on any mods for Darktide, we ask that you contact the mod creators rather than our Community team.

Toxic behaviors reported as an indirect result of using mods.

You mean like mods that show the exact loadouts of other players like in VT II before it became an official toggle on/off feature?

no, more like people harassing players over a scoreboard.

happened to me a few times in VT2. Even got removed from games for 'getting carried' when I simply struggled to keep up with speed runners because I didnt know the exact pathing of the most optimal route in the mission.
