Sadly this video is outdated as of Hotfix 1.1.21 - Fatshark "Removed outdated voicelines pertaining to Auric Level Operatives". Could this be a direct result of this video? Almost definitely not but it's nice to think so haha

imma guess it was removed cuse of speculation and lore they where not ready or ever going to expand on. If considering the patch and change in how the lore progress vs the launch that makes sense. at launch you where a recject, and was (and still is) one until lvl 30, where you finaly became an acolyte. the most basic henchmen to Grendel,. Yet you still got access to armour and gear to that of a normal soldier even before becoming an acolyte (i am refering to armour spesificly here) and this has now been corrected to actual handmedowns and scavanged gear from the field, this makes much more sense given the "reject" tittel. i love the game, but some aspects screamed they where being rushed in certain aspects. thankfully it is looking like they are making strides in making it seem like a way more consistent story and world. Sad thing is that veterans of the game is gonna have all jank and its gonna feel like a fractured experiance for them (if they care about the story at all) while newer players are gonna have a much better experiance.

In the Carnival cutscene the rejects around the mission table are Aurics and during the Carnival Morrow mentions how ‘my aurics would have been done by now’ so either we ARE aurics or maybe not, but regardless they exist and ARE in this war

They probably got rid of the dialogue because of the addition of Auric missions, which would probably make players think they were these auric class operatives, which is something Fatshark probably didn't want.

I like to think the lv 30 players doing Damnation missions are the Auric Class Operatives. If so yes they tend to have the better weapons. We also have the Mortis Class operatives that are mentioned in gear text and weapon skins as well as the uniforms for them you got with the Imperial Edition of Darktide.

@@thunder2434 I wonder how far they are gonna expand with the Auric class operative content. Someone who was datamining on the server found a 5th item upgrade called "sainted." Maybe they will even add cybernetics sometime in the future? Perhaps they will even add some sort of above level 30 skill trees and whatnot. The veteran becomes a scion, the zealot your typical puritan, or maybe even radical inquistor, the ogryn a sort of semi-independent bonehead bodyguard, and the pysker a rare inquisitorial pysker?

I personally think it's a missed opportunity to not have some auric certification in game. Let's be real the RNG is so horrible when you want a 370+ piece of gear with god rolls. You can easily blow 800k with a single gun. Imagine you would have access to auric level gear that has guaranteed 360 base stats but you have to finish 50 auric missions to unlock thos privilege. That would be amazing

i heard a voice line where some one says they feel watched and really hate the fealing of dread it gives them and that it might be an assasin, the psyker then said theres no way its an assasins but then says it would explain the odd itchy feeling between their shoulder blades.

Auric's could be Imperial Storm Troopers or Pisons Tempestus. These units are much more preferred than standard guardsmen. They are also way more common than S.o.B. and Assassins.

According to "Commodore" Hallowette, the Auric-level operatives (who apparently act under Melk's supervision) spend a lot of time sleeping LOL.

If the new update is anything to go by, it looks like our rejects are about to see what kinda missions these operative went on.

Who are the auric operatives? We are! We do auric missions

Well, we now have Auric level missions and if you finish one of them you'll actually get an auric icon next to your player icon on a mission finish screen with a number on how many you did...so does that mean, if you're good enough, any reject can become an auric level operative?

yeah would be nice if in Darktide you at one point get officially promoted to Auric class operative. Would be a story there. You work up from the bottom to the top and now you get the respect of Grendyl and you get real missions, not suicide missions.

Considering you survived all those suicide missions thus far, you can’t even call “real” missions real anymore, they’d feel like a day off.

i think you actually get the charm called auric cross when you reach lvl 30 actually so it could be likely morro might give this to only the best most devoted? i could be wrong but i know its in my charms for weapons and i don’t remember how i got it actually. main problem with this is its called the auric “Cross” likely to pay homage to the auric types saying ‘maybe’ something along the lines of “your pretty good, a reject no longer keep this up and we’ll unofficial consider you an auric member. so take the auric cross hold onto it for now as your reward for joining the warband” but this hinges on if thats where the charm comes from tho

I know its boring, but its hard not to assume Auric-class denotes Acolytes + Inquisition Storm Troopers.

Great video.

My theory is that the "Darktide" is not the forces of the Dregs and Scabs (The Cult of Admonition and the Moebian 6th), but the Tyranids. There is mention in the lore that the "Darktide" is being fought in the Fringe Wars at the edge of the Moebian Domain, and that those forces consist of Xenos and Chaos forces, but the information is highly classified and anything that gets out is all rumors. The Moebians 6th also defected cause they suffered greatly during the Fringe Wars, of which they were told nothing about what they would face until they were on the frontlines, so perhaps it was the horrors of fighting against Tyranids that turned them to Nurgle worship, and subsequently making contact with the Cult. I hope Tyranids come later, get a whole invasion on our hands.

I’m gonna keep it so real with you, dawg. Inquisitorial Stormtroopers (Tempestus Scions). That’s probably what they’re referring to. I’m very much biased as I run an Air Cavalry Scion list for the table top, but dawg. I’m begging for even a scrap of recognition for my stormtroopers 😭

Not the point of the video, but man, I wish the outfit at 0:30 was actually available for the psyker...maybe that's just me but I'm so disappointed in the cosmetics for them. Like if I can't have badass clothes like that, at least let me go full mutie and look all kinds of crazy :/

It'd be so cool to have higher level than lvl 30 where we become auric level class operatives, gaining access to even more higher gear and cosmetics like stormtrooper , carapace armours and robes and such, same with weaponry too, i feel like a hellgun and such would suit the veteran class so well, because i have noticed "3 different" pictures above the "talent/skill" tree and one of em has some kind of heavy stubber/heavy MG kinda weapon whilst the others have like a scoped las and another having some kind of pathfinder style lasgun.

It would make more sense for the Auric class operatives to be nobility or something, given that you're essentially dregs.

Ordo Malleus is secret, Ordo Hereticus used to be secret, but after Age of Apostasy they were made public to strike fear into anyone who would attempt such act. I'm not sure about Xenos, but I don't think those are secret, mainly because the very subject of interest of Ordo Malleus is secret all by it self so make sense that agency dedicated to that subject was made secretive as well, on the other hand I'm pretty sure Xenos are common knowledge.

01:00 So the 6th Möbian Regiment has turned traitor? All of it? Darn. :-(

Auric operatives can only mean one thing in the Imperium. That the custodes are here. And not even inquisitors have the power to mobilize the Adeptus Custodes. In fact, Custodes are only deployed recently, and sice Darktide is happening during the Indomitus crusade, that is at least posible. However it will screw the lore and the entire idea of Darktide. It will have no sense to have a Custodes envolved. That's why those lines were removed, probably. The most sensical thing we can have as "a reinforcement" are the Sisters of battle, as this world's church is dedicated to the work of a Saint (Saint Messelina). And that will basically kill the entire lore of Darktide. So no, if Fatshark wants to be with this Dark Heresy TTRPG campaign setting, we're alone, and the warband are the best assets the inquisitor has at hand.

Where on earth does the game _ever_ mention them? Never. It never says a damn thing. Unless you're saying that the players are the ones they talk about, the game gives you 9 cutscenes, 7 of which are less than thirty seconds. At least with Fromsoft/Souls style storytelling, there are item descriptions and NPCs that actually _say something_ to you, tell you where you are, and so forth. Darktide? They just insult you until they suddenly respect you. Before Patch #13, you _never even saw_ the traitor. Ever.
