Warhammer 40,000: Darktide update 1.7.4 is now available to download on PC. According to the official Warhammer 40,000: Darktide patch notes, the latest update 1.7.4 addresses some bugs and crashes.
Previously, a major update 1.7.4 added new changes, fixes, and gameplay improvements.
Unfortunately, players are still experiencing several issues since the release. Today’s Warhammer 40,000: Darktide version 1.7.4 will fix a few of these issues.
Check out more details below.
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Patch 1.7.4 Notes – April 16, 2025
General Fixes
- Fixed an issue where players could fail to dodge-slide when using weapons with quick but short dodges.
- Fixed an issue where the UI was showing Ogryn emotes with a New marker, but no new emotes were available.
- Fixed an issue where the ‘Precognition’ Blessing for Duelling Swords and Combat Blades incorrectly showed a duration of 5s instead of 2s.
- Added additional memory optimizations to reduce the risk of crashing for out of memory on console.
- Fixed a crash that could happen at the end of the Vigil Station Oblivium mission.
Havoc Changes & Fixes
- Fixed an issue where players could join other’s Havoc Assignments while they are still locked in to their own Assignment.
- Fixed an issue where a Havoc mission vote expiring could lead to the initiator being locked in to their Assignment.
- Fixed occasional spurious demotion when cancelling the ongoing Havoc Assignment.
- Fixed end-of-round view displaying a loss after winning a Havoc level 40 Assignment.
- Group Finder request-to-join list will no longer scroll back to top upon getting new requests.
- Increased Horde Strike type “Blockade Sandwich” trigger distance from 20 to 50.
- Dev Note: This strike may happen if the Strike Team tries to backtrack too far.
Havoc Campaign – Mission Pool and Mutator Rotation
Every third week during a Havoc Campaign, we are rotating the mission pool and mutator pool. One or two missions and mutators will swap out during this time. Some may have noticed this already happened this week!
Mission Pool

- _Clandestium Gloriana
- Dark Communion_
Incoming
- _Excise Vault Spireside-13
- Consignment Yard HL 17-36_
Mutators
Outgoing
- None.

Havoc Derank Changes
The Derank changes to Havoc that we shared in our dev blog earlier this month are going live with this hotfix.
- A player of a higher Assignment Rank will not lose a charge upon being a participant in a lower ranked mission that failed.
- Assignment Rank 40 players will not be able to lose a charge through gameplay means at all.
- For those at Assignment Rank 40, they do not stand to gain anything by attempting their assignment again. Therefore, we’ve made it so they can continue to try different builds and challenges to keep it interesting.
We had some questions about how Assignment Rank 40 players may change their Assignment:
- Play it and win;
- Wait for the weekly reset;
- Play with another Assignment Rank 40 player and beat it;
- Manually derank to Assignment Rank 39, beat it (within 3 charges), get a new assignment.
Mortis Trials Fixes & Tweaks
- Fixed an issue where players would not get their Indulgences pool initialized, which would make it impossible for them to get Indulgence buff choices after the waves 3, 6 and 9.
- Dev Note: This happened to players that were part of the starting Strike Team but spawned later than the rest due to slow loading.
- Fixed an issue where the server region option was not taken into account when matchmaking for Mortis Trials.
Cosmetic Fixes
- Fixed an issue where gaps would appear between the torso and arms while wearing the Psyker “Blind Witch’s Leash Raiment” upperbody cosmetic.
- Fixed an issue with floating ornaments on the “ ”Plan A” Vostroyan Rippergun “ weapon skin.
- Fixed the ability for blood effects to tint the entire body of the “ ”Last Stand” Vostroyan Lasgun “ weapon skin red when using the bayonet attack.
