Veteran Marksman In Warhammer 40,000: Darktide – The Veteran Marksman is a dedicated ranged class in Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, as their name suggests. The Marksman’s task is to reduce enemy numbers with precise shots while keeping an eye out for larger opponents like Dregs and Pox Hounds from a high vantage point or simply from behind the rest of the team.
The Veteran Marksman is best suited to directing the team’s efforts in addition to providing cover fire and suppressing enemy gunners. The rest of the team should concentrate on taking down the designated group target as soon as the Marksman calls them out. To become the chosen deadeye for your team, keep reading!

Veteran Marksman Tips And Strategies – Tips And Strategies For Playing A Veteran Marksman In Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, Veteran Class Guide
A Veteran Marksman should always be in a position to fire on the opposition without worrying about being attacked in close combat. Don’t worry if a few foes manage to get through and force you to draw a close combat weapon; you can fend them off, especially if allies are close by. Consider it like saving ammo!
You’ll have a better view of what’s happening because you’ll be farther away from the chaos of a battle. Therefore, you can alert your teammates to the presence of hordes, Specialists, and Elites—and on harder difficulties, you even have a duty to do so.
Even without a microphone, you can still quickly alert your team to strong opponents by marking them.
Remember that shooting at cover that is buried in the ground will cause ranged enemies to flee even if you miss them in a shootout. To offer your melee-focused teammates a chance to charge, force them into cover.
You should always try to hit these targets whenever you can because your headshots and other weak point attacks deal more damage. Since most enemies can be killed with a single shot anyway, it is less crucial to do this when facing common foes, but it is absolutely essential when facing specialists, elites, and monstrosities. It’s your responsibility to target these enemies as soon as you see them because you’ll be doing the majority of the damage to them.
Above all, you must effectively manage your ammo if you want to succeed as a Veteran Marksman. Allow melee characters to deal with the small groups you encounter at the start of a mission, and only use indiscriminate fire to support them when necessary. If there are other Marksmen on your team, coordinate with them to divide ammo pickups fairly. Veteran Marksmen should always get first dibs on any ammunition found.
Veteran Marksman Gear
Always be sure you have the greatest firearms available for your level because a Veteran Marksman depends on their ranged weapon to live or die. For new Veterans, lasguns and autoguns are good options because they combine range, firepower, and precision (although the latter requires a scope). As you advance in levels, try out several weapon types to determine which one best suits your playing style; in general, though, you should stay away from pistols, shotguns, and flamers due to their limited ammo and short range.
If you must choose between two weapons, pick the one with more ammo. The worst thing that can happen to a marksman is running out of shots.
Pick a high-damage melee weapon so you can get out of a sticky position quickly since you’ll only be using it in emergencies. For the Marksman, trench shovels and axes are great choices because they typically increase stamina, allowing you to block and push more forcefully if you find yourself cornered.
