Warhammer 40,000: Darktideuses a gear upgrade system that requires constant tinkering. Rolling for new perks to get your perfect build means lots of grinding, specifically to find the critical resources Plasteel and Diamantine. Without these materials, you’ll be stuck with whatever gear is on offer at the Armoury Exchange - not terrible, but far from ideal.
There’s really only one way to get more Plasteel and Diamantine, and that’s to go on missions. Unlike Ordo Dockets, though, you won’t get crafting materials just for completing a mission. You’ll have to be vigilant and observant if you want Tech-Priest Hadron to reward you.
How To Get Plasteel And Diamantine
Each time you start a mission in Darktide, a small amount of Plasteel and an even smaller amount of Diamantine will behidden at random throughout the map.Material stashes aremarked with a crossed wrenches iconand can be collected by any player. All collected Plasteel and Diamantine areshared by the teamat the conclusion of the mission, so you don’t need to squabble over them.
Check everywhere - corners, ledges, and barriers are all common hiding spots.
Materials can be either free-standing or found in chests; all the more reason toopen every chest you see.
How To Increase Plasteel And Diamantine Drops
The higher the difficulty level of a mission, themore Plasteel and Diamantinewill be hidden on the map.Note that this doesn’t guarantee you’ll get more materials after a successful run, since you only get the Plasteel and Diamantine that you actually find. If you and your teammates are thorough, and can survive unending waves of mutants, heretics, and daemons, you stand to gain much more byattempting the most dangerous missions available.
Since Plasteel and Diamantine can be hard to come by, it might pay tosave up until you reach a high level, then spend your amassed wealth on rolling for precisely the gear you want.
