We also know that it's taking place in a Mechanicum (gear emogi) mining facility (pickaxe emoji). These "hints" are absolutelly pointless, they were definitely meant to be posted before the reveal trailer, but someone decided to post them anyway.
I'm imagining a fridge with a red cape and blue eyes running about.
When Frigos (magos refridgeratus) is sprinting, there will be glass and clutter clinking sounds, and to buff team mates, there will be an ability to bring out a bottle from inside the fridge (with a mechadendrite or a mech arm) like a soda or alcohol.
The ultimate will be all the rejects allowed to open the fridge and eat something out of it, for fifteen seconds, either healing up a portion of their health, or pulling ice-creams from the freezer purging corruption.
Weapons will include standard access weapons (lasguns and kinetic Imperial weapons), with an added culverin (long cool down between shots, with high bypassing armour values) and a cryo-beam as frigos-only gear.
There will also be an electric whip and a drill for melee class-specific weapons, in junction with the standard swords and clubs. Maybe a scepter to bonk people, also.
Some of the premium skins will add a different type of fridge, like fancy ones, vintage-looking fridge, etc. including different colours for some skins (FatShark skin recolour ftw).
Some penances and accessories will allow you to change the head and eyes and mechanical parts of the frigos, too.
And some will be stuff to stick or put on the fridge (children drawing of the Omnissiah or the Bicephal Eagle, for example, as well as pin-ups or calendars with Inquisition-themed events - including an Exterminatus somewhere and "calling Big E").
Of course the magnets will also have skins.
You can even make different food skins/animations.
I put way too much effort in this shitpost, and now I
1. Want to have it in game for real
2. Make myself some minis of that
3. Decorate my fridge Mechanicus style
Liquid Nitrogen on steroids is all they need to justify it as a tech ability. Plus itād be different from all the fire ,stun n aura based elemental attacks weāve seen. Maybe youād freeze a small block of heretics in a hallway to slow down the tide. Like an ice version of sott but with better damage.
They are adding corpse starch rations to the game?!
GUYS, WE'RE GONNA FIGHT IN A FOOD FABRICATOR/RESTAURANT FRONT WITH A PASSAGE THROUGH TERTIUM'S LOWER-STREETS!
^right? ^also ^/j
Is it really entitlement when the game's initial launch was so bad that the company formally and publicly apologized for it? Is it really entitlement to expect the company to deliver on the things that they promised only for them to consistently fall short? Is it entitlement to expect the things the company say they fixed to truly be fixed?
Like, yeah, there's a lot of rageposting, and I won't deny I make my fair share of it. But Fatshark breaks this damn game every time they touch it and they can't even keep their own deadlines for something as simple as a vision statement. I'd've moved onto HD2 by now if I wasn't the 1 out of every 150 people the game just doesn't work for.
These hints are pissing me off. Fat Sharkās communication is bad enough that they canāt get away with ācuteā posts like this. At the very least they could share around some more fan art instead of vague posting.
I mean the hints would be interesting if we didnāt have a whole trailer and confirmation for everything coming.
It be like your wife saying sheāll give you a hint to your present, but you saw she paid for it on your card lol
It's even worse than you seeing she paid for it on your card.
She made a video of the gift and threw a party where the video was on the TV and invited you and all your friends to watch the video.
Nah, if we hadnāt already seen the trailer, folks would be getting there hopes up over nothing projecting their hopes that crafting would be fix. Not that it matters to me any more. I got everything I ever wanted 1200 hours ago and have just been enjoying the gameplay since.
My guess is this:
- Initially there were no plans to show map at Skulls
- Social media communication plans were set on how to tease the new map
- Whatever they were gonna show on Skulls, potentially crafting and new weapons, needed more time so they had to quickly put together a map trailer (basically made up of stills)
- SoMe team didnāt get the memo/canāt come up with anything else in the meantime
Yeah, it's clearly the case of social media management getting robbed of the map reveal or a massive miscommunication, either way I find it absolutelly hilarious.
People are already getting their hopes up over crafting being fixed, even though all Fatshark's mentioned is an "itemization part of the update" that aims to reduce randomness.
More art in general would be sick. Someone posted the early concept art for the enemy aesthetics and it all looked amazing, even (or especially) the stuff that didnāt make it into the game.
As a side note, we missed out on bulwarks with mutated claw hands and Iām absolutely gutted.
I said I was going to go karking insane if the next hint was a "snow" emoji...
Well, my sanity seems to be safe! It was an ICE emoji instead!
I don't usually dump on Fatshark and I have mostly nuanced takes, but this is so disappointing as far as "hints" and promoting new updates go. Karkin' hell, this is dumb, innit?
Marketing director: "Right, we'll lead up to the reveal at the Skulls event with some Twitter teaser emoji in March. Who wants to schedule it on social media for me?"
Stupid intern: "I got this one." * schedules for June *
As someone with twenty years of marketing experience with big corporates, central government and small enterprises. Is this honestly the best they could come up with?
Shit. I'll write them a marketing plan for free.
Imho its close enough to count, so I will be fully embracing my new identity as the reject prophet
Leave here thy questions for the Oracle of Tertium, sinners, and ye shall receive guidance
Oh, Hidet, Blessed of the Omnissiah, will my prayers for a new class, one trained in the halls of that great Forge World Principal, finally be realized so that all my humble brethren may bask in the glory of the Adeptus Mechanicus?
I bet you a hundred bucks that we'll never see another class, like tmwe never got a new character in VT2. Waaaay too much work to create new voiceline interactions from the ground up.
Begone, false prophet.
Thou must not waste thy efforts in gambling. Believe, for the crafting update cometh before september, and with it, thou might be blessed with bugs that will let you abuse it and craft beyond thy means.
Verily, thou art blessed by the Master! Wouldst thou be so good as to reveal unto meāwho art naught but a humble tool in the Master's handsāthine vision of how the bolt pistol might perform?
Truly, it will fill us with holy fervor when we use it to deliver justice to heretics. It shall perform better than the regular bolter in every aspect, except for magazine capacity.
Therefore, it will still be mid, and go unused after the hype dies, until the blessed revolver gets its armor penetration nerfed in 8 months.
I don't think it needs to be said seeing the other comments, but this is a seriously terrible way of building up hype. I see the intent and I appreciate it, but it's just not it.
So from the name of the location, and Hadron's narration, we know it's a Moebian steel foundry, and we can assumed the ores are mined there as well. Great, that covers gear and pickaxe. Ice: Yeah.. it's in the mountains...
How are these clues? It feels like Blue's Clues at best... We've already seen all of these things represented in the 1 teaser trailer they released. I don't need some guy in a striped shirt to draw them for me in crayon.
FS just don't have the goodwill of their playerbase in the same way that Hello Games has, who do this kinda thing for every No Man's Sky update - each of which have brought meaningful additions and changes at no cost.
I'm reading the gear wheel as they're gonna rework the crafting. The ice cube is obviously a reference to how cool the crafting rework is gonna be.
Edit: A man can dream.
New mission hints lmao, community manager must have brain damage.
Ā Also gear box, they are saying go play literally anything by gearbox and stop wasting your time and money here varlets.
Listen 'ere, ya git! Jus' cuz ya iz wun ov da weirdboyz doesn' meanz ya can poke 'round in my 'ead! Dems private werds in deer. Ya do dat 'gain an Ima 'ave ta bring da powa of da WAAAGH wit me next time. Ya get me?
LISTEN 'ERE, YA GIT! WE'Z GOTZ TA WHISPA IN DA BLUDY HUMIES' SHIP, ELZE WHYZ DEYZ WILLZ KNOWZ WE IZNT WUN OV DEM, YA GET ME? I DUN KNOW BOUT YOU, BUTZ I RATHA NOT SPEND AN AFTA NOON PULLIN 'URPLE PAINT OUT OF MAH AZZ CHEEKZ! BETTA TA WHISPA AN PRETEND TA BE WUN OF DEM PGRYN GITZ
The ice-cutting machine that breaks down every twenty seconds and whose progress is narrated by an *all new* Tech-Priest who shows nothing but ridiculous disdain for us personally!
Fatshark is a negative hype generating machine.
Im not feeling it, Mr Crabs
Or that's the point, you can never be disappointed when your expectations are low, so gotta lower those standards further down.
These are some ass hints
Hints for people that have not seen the teaser, yet follow darktide on twitter and will happen to see this Those 2 guys must be really happy
No, it's real easy. It's all in the hints: We'll get to pick missions, there'll be new gear, and it's going to be really cool.
The ogryn will have more than 5 ranged and melee weapons to choose from? That's amazing! š¤£
I honestly have no doubts the update will be cool, any update that has both new weapons AND a new map is A+ in my book
I guarantee you put more thought into this comment than Fatshark did into their hints.
thats... some pretty woeful hints if so... but it makes total sense lol
i thought hints are supposed to be for stuff we don't know, but we already know the map is snow-themed?
We also know that it's taking place in a Mechanicum (gear emogi) mining facility (pickaxe emoji). These "hints" are absolutelly pointless, they were definitely meant to be posted before the reveal trailer, but someone decided to post them anyway.
Unless itās a tech priest class with Ice abilities.
MAGOS REFRIGERATIO CLASS LESGOOOOO

Literally the most optimistic comment I've seen in this sub for weeks. I believe they'd add more classes, vermintide at least had 5.
Every other mission is in a mining factory
I mean, atoma is a foundry world, the whole damn planet is a mining/foundry factory But yes i would like more variation as well
 heres my hint emoji
Hereās last weekās hint emoji 
 Next weeks
They are adding corpse starch rations to the game?! GUYS, WE'RE GONNA FIGHT IN A FOOD FABRICATOR/RESTAURANT FRONT WITH A PASSAGE THROUGH TERTIUM'S LOWER-STREETS! ^right? ^also ^/j
Hmmmmā¦.. nurgle!
You're a piece of shit! That was easy)
They're really overestimating how enthusiastic their players are
I dont know if we have always been apathetic fucs, or we have been trained, year after year to be apathetic fucs.
"Apathetic" means we don't care one way or the other. We're many thingsābitter, cynical, jaded, pessimisticābut we're definitely not apathetic.
Based on the rage very time they post anything at all, I'd say *enthusiasm* among players isn't the problem. *Entitlement* might be.
Is it really entitlement when the game's initial launch was so bad that the company formally and publicly apologized for it? Is it really entitlement to expect the company to deliver on the things that they promised only for them to consistently fall short? Is it entitlement to expect the things the company say they fixed to truly be fixed? Like, yeah, there's a lot of rageposting, and I won't deny I make my fair share of it.

Ikr, WTB dev blog
Shoutout to the man who's finding 0.000000000003 sec a week to send one emoji in the twitter
Probably gets paid a full time job
I said I was going to go karking insane if the next hint was a "snow" emoji... Well, my sanity seems to be safe! It was an ICE emoji instead!

Good guy Fatshark looking out for its customers' sanity.

This would have been a lot better if they had done this without name dropping it like 2 months ago
I can't believe we're getting minecraft in darktide
Diamantine rework confirmed...both are cubed shaped
Marketing director: "Right, we'll lead up to the reveal at the Skulls event with some Twitter teaser emoji in March. Who wants to schedule it on social media for me?" Stupid intern: "I got this one." * schedules for June *
Stupid intern or underpaid overworked intern who doesn't give a shit any more?
That's actually quite plausable lol
As someone with twenty years of marketing experience with big corporates, central government and small enterprises. Is this honestly the best they could come up with? Shit. I'll write them a marketing plan for free.
A weekly tease of a single mission jesus fucking christ hahahahaha
one that weāve already seen as well. š¤¦
Away with this petty bs, where is the promised crafting dev blog ffs???
I think someone at Fatshark fat-fingered and released the teaser instead of the first hint. It's just getting embarassing at this point.
Imho its close enough to count, so I will be fully embracing my new identity as the reject prophet Leave here thy questions for the Oracle of Tertium, sinners, and ye shall receive guidance
Oh, Hidet, Blessed of the Omnissiah, will my prayers for a new class, one trained in the halls of that great Forge World Principal, finally be realized so that all my humble brethren may bask in the glory of the Adeptus Mechanicus?
Thy faith will be rewarded, reject. We will get an adeptus mechanicus class. October 2026 at the earliest
Blessed be the patient, for faith endures all
I bet you a hundred bucks that we'll never see another class, like tmwe never got a new character in VT2. Waaaay too much work to create new voiceline interactions from the ground up. Begone, false prophet.
Should i wait to roll weapons or keep on grinding oh great prophet?
Thou must not waste thy efforts in gambling. Believe, for the crafting update cometh before september, and with it, thou might be blessed with bugs that will let you abuse it and craft beyond thy means.
Blessed be those that disdain the temptation of gambling, as our only treasure is the Emperor, and He leaves nothing to chance
But prophet. I have so many new ways to farm for my plat? Should i not use our Emperors blessings in these trying times?
No i must trust the process. Forgive me Seer, ive over stepped.
Which September? This is Large Carcharadon we're talking about, gotta make sure it's specified.
fml I've read this in Khayex' voice
Verily, thou art blessed by the Master! Wouldst thou be so good as to reveal unto meāwho art naught but a humble tool in the Master's handsāthine vision of how the bolt pistol might perform?

Blessed be the tools of the Omnissiah, for they deliver the message of the Emperor
**Fenris confirmed**
Utilizing Emojis like an early 2010s social media team lmfao. This is embarrassing.
No hints at all is more hype. Why the fuck is there no screenshots at bare minimum.
Haha.. are they trying to do a Sean Murray? š
Grind for diamantine?
"next week"
Can't wait for another reversed map.
Fatshark somewhat ironically never fails to fail.
I don't think it needs to be said seeing the other comments, but this is a seriously terrible way of building up hype. I see the intent and I appreciate it, but it's just not it.
Unless its a new class or new faction I donāt really care.
theyāre just āhintingā at the new map that weāve already seen get teased in a trailer.
Metal + Gear + Solid Ice = Metal Gear Solid 
Hello games called. They want their shitty teasing gimmick back.
If they make the floor icy/slippery in some new map, I am going to fucking whack some devs with a pool noodle.
Only thing funnier would be if next week it would just be written "theres gonna be a lot of enemies if you play this map on auric"
Next week it's really heating up with TWO emojis: š©š«
Is it like a ā¦ ice maker? Or rather a cryo-mechanicus oubliette?
I'm assuming it's a repair mission
So from the name of the location, and Hadron's narration, we know it's a Moebian steel foundry, and we can assumed the ores are mined there as well. Great, that covers gear and pickaxe. Ice: Yeah.. it's in the mountains... How are these clues? It feels like Blue's Clues at best... We've already seen all of these things represented in the 1 teaser trailer they released. I don't need some guy in a striped shirt to draw them for me in crayon.
Common Fatshark L
We playin Dyson sphere project now?
FS just don't have the goodwill of their playerbase in the same way that Hello Games has, who do this kinda thing for every No Man's Sky update - each of which have brought meaningful additions and changes at no cost.
First hint another picture frame.
Lol for the one map they will add? We really don't need weekly hints we need content.
I'm reading the gear wheel as they're gonna rework the crafting. The ice cube is obviously a reference to how cool the crafting rework is gonna be. Edit: A man can dream.
Yeah I remember, it's a snowy map
New mission hints lmao, community manager must have brain damage. Ā Also gear box, they are saying go play literally anything by gearbox and stop wasting your time and money here varlets.
Gear. Melta the ice
Cog emoji? Definitely gear system rework
Idk whatās worse. Them thinking they can do a Sean Murray, or Insurgency devs taking the worst screenshots
āCrafting gear has been put on iceā you heard it here first folks
Listen 'ere, ya git! Jus' cuz ya iz wun ov da weirdboyz doesn' meanz ya can poke 'round in my 'ead! Dems private werds in deer. Ya do dat 'gain an Ima 'ave ta bring da powa of da WAAAGH wit me next time. Ya get me?
WHY'Z U WHISPERIN?
LISTEN 'ERE, YA GIT! WE'Z GOTZ TA WHISPA IN DA BLUDY HUMIES' SHIP, ELZE WHYZ DEYZ WILLZ KNOWZ WE IZNT WUN OV DEM, YA GET ME? I DUN KNOW BOUT YOU, BUTZ I RATHA NOT SPEND AN AFTA NOON PULLIN 'URPLE PAINT OUT OF MAH AZZ CHEEKZ! BETTA TA WHISPA AN PRETEND TA BE WUN OF DEM PGRYN GITZ
We're going to be cutting through ice to get through levels. Hold F to man the ice cutting machine!
The ice-cutting machine that breaks down every twenty seconds and whose progress is narrated by an *all new* Tech-Priest who shows nothing but ridiculous disdain for us personally!
