A quick look into who the Auric-class operatives, frequently mentioned in Darktide, could be.
There is also some breathing ASMR sprinkled throughout the video free of charge

Sadly this video is outdated as of Hotfix 1.1.21 - Fatshark "Removed outdated voicelines pertaining to Auric Level Operatives".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.
What's weird is I remember not, but yesterday I was hearing voice lines about Aurics but maybe I was wrong
I heard them recently as well
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 don't know about you guys, but my Ogryn is clearly an Auric Class Operative. I bought the cosmetic that says so on his forehead!
Yay!
Has to be true then
@Grouse1999 If you think that's bad, you won't like what actual aurics have to go against...
@Grouse1999 have you seen a heretic be hailed as a hero of the Imperium? No? Then that’s why, hierarchy and prejudices play an important role in the Imperium
Wow, so doing Auric mission means so much more. It means my character is no longer rejected but picked up and recognized as the insider.
I am officially an Auric Five-Star Operative. So proud! :)
yep, even some NPCs on the ship say this if you approach them.
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.
I think the main issue with this theory is that Oska Krall still doesn’t let my beautiful lvl 30 ogryn get cybernetics, and Zola still says the munitions goes to the Auric ops and not poor Frug 😏
@@dystopianchimp Hopefully this will change. :)
i guess todays dev blog proved you right ;)
@@Cpt_MacMillan Yes Auric missions for Auric operative are now a thing. I had a hunch and got lucky.
I would have liked all weapon locks broken open, not just added a little more freedom, but if this is what I can get I'll take it.
@@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.
It’s interesting because in the latest hot fix, Fatshart said they "Removed outdated voicelines pertaining to Auric Level Operatives” - this coupled with the new Auric mission system pretty much confirms that lvl 30 rejects have become A-class ops. Fellow rejects, we made it.
@@dystopianchimp started from the bottom now we are here. Makes me wonder if we can be mortis operatives too.
Who are the auric operatives? We are! We do auric missions
The actual good guys with talent lmao.
"good"
@@thewizned "gets wiped by a sniper"
by now and the directly so called Auric class difficulties, I guess we as rejects were promoted c:
Would at least also explain why there is such a great variety of weapons available at lvl 30. Esp very expensive ones such as Power Swords
Whats at lol 30? Only reached 25 today. Can you use other class weapons or something?
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.
Great video.
Cool way to explain what is likely cut content, due to the bad development which only feeds into the broken potential of Darktide. Nice video tho, I like your narration. Consider me subscribed! :)
they can just add it in as a dlc or update
in addition its explain we the rejects are not soilders and simply helping the real soilders in the backround
@@Jester4460 yeah sure someday somewhere over the rainbow.
It sounds like the Auric-Class operatives will be the new classes, and the level cap increase to 35. They'll probably add the longlas sniper and meltagun amongst other weapons
@@Jester4460i believe the current state of Darktide is actually a prequel to something. As when we reach to level 30, its only then we were welcomed to the inquisition.
@@Lupercal1901 I very much hope so.
"Dunno Boss... Just a common Ogryn here! No need to look too closely."
I know its boring, but its hard not to assume Auric-class denotes Acolytes + Inquisition Storm Troopers.
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’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 😭
You talked about potential xenos presence. I would love to see an addition of a genestealer cult
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.
Interesting video again - thanks.
Given how Auric is used in Warhammer 40k, I would have thought Auric class operatives are actually custodies, but that doesn’t seem to be what they are going for.
No way would it be Custodes. They answer only to the Emperor himself, as they are his personal bodyguards. They march to war now, yes, but at the command of the Emperor was Guilliman's call heard.
No way would the Custodes obey any order of the Inquisition, as they hold no power over them. No, the Auric class would be those *within* the Inquisition
Ah yes, random ass custodes in the middle of bumfuck nowhere for no aparent reason
@@ranbojd1070 It could happen to you!
seriously though corax has done weirder things, i don't put it past a custodes to pull that off
@@ranbojd1070, are you familiar with the Eyes of the Emperor?
Custodes are 8 feet tall and move faster than the eye can see. Also they wouldn't take any crap from an inquisitor lol
Hmm you really sound like my fave Darktide content creator - KryptKick
Melk would 100% know the intricacies if you know his lore he’s a very learned and esteemed individual and not in a pompous way he earned it even though he comes of in such a way
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 :/
inb4 its a greyknight. now that some guy threatens grendyl and is hunting it down. abit of a stretch
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.
Stormtroopers wear carapace armor. We have those skins currently although it does nothing for our stats lol
@@bengonzalez5215 Pretty sure we just wear normal flak armour, carapace armour is what kasrkins wear, which is usually like plating and such.
Although it does nothing for our stats i kinda wish it did lol.
I guess now we know its characters at lvl 30 i guess
Auric Operatives are the absolute Gigachads who swim in the heretic ocean while thinking about their next rations. Yes, I am looking at u Auric Ogryn.
Its simple. Im Him. I am 100% Him.
I’m 100% Auric Class since those types of missions are available plus on my Ogryn all I do is Damnation auric class missions
Is it possible they're tempestus scions?
Very possible! Since the inquisition can basically conscript anyone, A-class ops very well could be either partly or wholly made up of temp scions
they should skin the munition and medic bay different until we reach auric mission.
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.
I think the Ordo Malleus isn't really so much a secret anymore afaik
@@FarremShamistMalleus is still secret because the existence of daemons is still very much repressed. Also, their association with the Grey Knights means they must operate in secret.
Ordo Hereticus and Xenos use the Adapta Sororotas and Deathwatch, respectively, which are not secret.
@@Khashmonet It's starting to be less of a secret, considering they've stopped mulching people by the billions because they heard about it.
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.
01:00
So the 6th Möbian Regiment has turned traitor? All of it? Darn. :-(
They might be tempestus scions
Could be that they are tempestus scions
3:54 why this photo it’s only November 1st
My bad.. hope I didn't make you break your streak
Iv been collecting warhammer for years but age of sigmar and old war the lore for 40k is new to me i have darktide im lvl 30 on 3 characters and i have no idea whats going on 😂😂
1:41 Incorrect, The ogryn the player plays as is a Bonehead, which is a cybernetically enhanced ogryn.
Those cybernetics were received prior to imprisonments
All this lore is amazing yet sad because fatshark gave up on the game
I’m hoping they haven’t given up yet, I think they just have the wrong priorities
This^. I still hold on to hope.
With the Xbox release and Patch 13, things look significantly better in terms of player numbers on Steam and Gamepass (I believe it hit 11th most played Xbox game on release - given it was on GP)
I hope Fatshark can keep some of the momentum with more actual content release. Although given VT's rate of content it isn't exactly "live service" standards.
Esp. narrative progression. Finding mission reports like the lore pages for V1 and art for VT2 would be a good start.
Have you seen how vermintide II expanded over the years?
Ofcourse Fatshark won't give up.
@@dystopianchimpyep. Their more focused on sellable cosmetics. They started their console gamepass by putting out another variation of their top selling cosmetic.
Inquisitiors actually have no authority over assassins, to deploy an assassin it requires the approval of the high lords which the master of assassins is one
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.
