Penances are in-game achievements or challenges in Warhammer 40K Darktide that the players can complete earning cosmetics and other unlocks. However, completing the different penances in Darktide can be quite confusing, and you might have unlocked a few penances here and there by blowing off your enemy’s head off.
So, in this guide, we will review how you can unlock the different penances around defensive and offensive playstyles in Darktide.
Offensive penances
Time to Die: This achievement is unlocked if the player is able to quickly eliminate a monstrosity in less than 60 seconds
Dodge This: This challenge requires the player to be quick and precise since to complete the challenge you’ll be required to shoot 3 enemies with headshots within a timespan of 10 seconds.
Purge the Heretic: This achievement is one of the staples of all shooting games, since it only requires you to kill a total of 1000 enemies.
Serial Killer: Similar to Dodge This, the achievement Serial Killer requires the player to be precise and make good use of their aiming sights by scoring 20 consecutive headshot kills.
