Darktide’s new talent trees let you throw an ‘Ogryn-sized’ grenade with a blast radius of 16 meters

If you drifted away from Darktide because it frontloaded all the most fun stuff into its opening hours, Patch 13 might be the one that makes you come back. Fatshark has posted a deep dive into the talent trees in advance of the class overhaul coming on October 4, and they include some pretty neat powers. Each of the classes is getting a tree that branches across three broad archetypes, with plenty of opportunities to bounce between and differentiate within them as you level up.

Ogryns in particular get some dramatic new options. As demonstrated in the video above, one of the ogryn’s blitz abilities lets them “Throw an Ogryn-sized (the only proper kind!) frag grenade with a 16m blast radius, dealing increased Damage at the centre.” Ogryns can also choose the Bombs Away! ability for single-target damage, or the Big Friendly Rock if you don’t think your ogryn should be trusted with explosives.
