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.
