Coherency

In Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, Coherency is a mechanism that rewards players for staying close to their allies, increasing their Toughness (shields) regeneration speed. More allies nearby means more Toughness regeneration, incentivizing teamwork and team positioning. Coherency also serves as a passive aura that can grant additional team-wide buffs, such as ammo regeneration or damage resistance, depending on character class and chosen talents.

How Coherency Works

  • Proximity-Based: Coherency is a measure of your proximity to other players and AI allies.

  • Toughness Regeneration: The primary benefit is increased Toughness regeneration, with more allies in proximity leading to faster healing of your shields.

  • Team Buffs: Many class talents and feats provide powerful bonuses to all allies within Coherency range, such as:

    • Veteran: Chance to regain ammo or grenades when an elite enemy is killed by a teammate in Coherency.

    • Psyker: Cooldown reduction for the team when elites or specials are killed in Coherency.

    • Ogryn: Cooldown reduction for the team when an elite enemy is killed in Coherency.

Why Coherency Matters

Encourages Teamwork:

The system is designed to promote strategic team play by rewarding players for sticking together.

Strategic Decisions:

It creates a choice between staying with the team for buffs and safety versus moving to a critical position to eliminate threats, which risks losing Coherency benefits.

Increased Power:

High Coherency makes players more tanky and effective, as they have faster healing for their Toughness and benefit from class-specific auras.
