Warhammer 40K Darktide Flash Mission [All Penances] 

Learn what the Flash Mission is and the objective that it requires players to carry out in order to complete it!

Warhammer 40K Darktide offers players a wide variety of penances that they can choose between, including missions, offensive, and class-related penances, as well as a few more categories. Players might need assistance with how the Warhammer 40K Darktide Flash Mission will be carried out! 

Key Highlights
  • The Flash Mission is an undiscovered penance that players can encounter when they are scrolling through different penances. 
  • The penances featuring a flash mission cannot be currently carried out due to unknown reasons. 
  • Flash Mission is part of 2 penances that are present under the Missions tab in the different penance categories. 
  • The two penances will be known as Stand By For Action as well as Rapid Response
  • Unless and until an update comes out, the Penance simply stands for the show for players. 

What Is Flash Mission? 

A Flash Mission in Warhammer 40K Darktide refers to a specific type of mission that players can undertake. However, it appears there might be some confusion or issues regarding these missions in the game.

There are two penances related to Flash Missions:

  1. Stand By For Action Penance: This requires players to complete one Flash Mission to finish this particular mission.
  2. Rapid Response Penance: Players need to carry out any Flash Mission and complete it on Damnation difficulty.

However, it seems that there are no Flash Missions currently available in the game. Players have reported encountering these penances under the mission’s tab but being unable to find or complete the associated missions. This could be due to a bug or oversight by the developers, and there might be a future update to add these missions to the game.

For now, these penances related to Flash Missions are there in the game, but players cannot complete them because the missions themselves do not exist. It’s possible that they will become accessible in the future when the developers introduce Flash Missions to Warhammer 40K Darktide.

Mission-Type Penances
