How To Install Mods in Warhammer 40K Darktide

Wow, what an absolutely phenomenal year it has been for Warhammer 40K: Darktide, thanks to the fantastic support by Fatshark. And while developers work around the clock to bring some of that player comment magic into future updates, there is plenty in Darktide that players can edit themselves to make the game just a little bit better. There's just so much variation within the modding community, you're sure to find what you're looking for. For example, you can add scores to the action or health bars for enemies, or even use the meat grinder to spawn adversaries. To the PC players, here's how to install mods in Warhammer 40K: Darktide.

Warhammer 40K: Darktide Mod Installation

While Darktide mod installation is not quite as simple as dragging and dropping files into the install folder, it's still pretty simple. What you need to install Darktide mods:

Get Nexus Mods for free! The mod files and the foundation can be downloaded from here.

Using the Darktide Mod Loader will grant a player ease in enabling or disabling modules with it.

And one open-source framework is the Darktide Mod Framework.

Tweaks are allowed, however, even though Fatshark does not officially support them. Without any mod tools provided by Fatshark, you are on your own in case anything goes wrong and you will have to either disable the mod or contact the mod author for support.

In this tutorial we will show you how to prepare Darktide so it can work with mods.

A Darktide Mod Loader

First things first, you'll be wanting a utility called Darktide Mod Loader, which is utilized to deal with the in-game modifications.

Once you have an account at Nexus Mods, go to the following URL.

When you've downloaded the zip file, extract its contents to where you installed Darktide. An example of what this path might look, if you installed via the default Steam location, is given by:

Where does Steam install Warhammer 40,000: Darktide?

Once extracted, open the "toggle_darktide_mods.bat" file.

A confirmation message saying, "Darktide is now patched to load mods, will appear then.

Since mods are disabled by updates and hotfixes, the bat file will be run each time a release of the game happens.

We hope this has helped with your question. Good luck until next time.
