Warhammer 40k Darktide – Warp Charges, Explained

It's a known fact that Warhammer 40,000: Darktide features numerous stats that are confusing to understand. One particular stat is called Warp Charges, and what they are used for is unclear to most players in Darktide. Luckily, most stats are easy to understand after some research, so here is what the Warp Charge is in Warhammer 40k Darktide.

What are Warp Charges in Warhammer 40k Darktide?

Warp Charges are a special stackable buff directly related to the Brain Buster ability Psykers have in Warhammer 40k Darktide. Every time a Psyker uses the Brain Buster ability, they will earn a single Warp Charge that stacks up to four times. When players earn a Warp Charge, they will get three percent more damage for every stackable Warp Charge. Warp Charges will also last 25 seconds, making it a helpful buff Psykers can get to increase their damage output. We recommend using Warp charges in most builds, as they work great with most high-level abilities and feats for the Pskyer class.
