Warhammer 40,000: Darktide FARMING GUIDESKnow what to farm.
Know what to farm.
And where to go.
Darktide progression comes from completing co-op missions, collecting Plasteel and Diamantine, and shaping weapons at Hadron’s Shrine. Veteran teams can pursue Havoc assignments, while live events add temporary objectives. Current Arcane Ruin rewards require Hunted-condition missions and Daemonhost encounters before its November 5, 2026 end date.

Pick up materials before spending at Hadron’s Shrine
