Warhammer 40K Darktide: Unyielding Enemy Guide

Learn what is an Unyielding Enemy in Warhammer 40K Darktide & how to defeat easily.

What Is An Unyielding Enemy 

You are not able to stagger an Unyielding Enemy with regular attacks as well. Once an unyielding enemy has started their attack, you are not able to interrupt it using normal means. An Unyielding Enemy is typically very big, and when you get hit by one of their attacks, it deals an absurd amount of damage. 

The damage you deal to these Armor types will depend on the type of armor you are hitting. Some enemies in this category have a mix of different types of armor on their bodies. For example, the Bulwark’s torso, thighs, and head are considered unyielding, while their arms and shins are covered in Carapace armor.

You can find a bit more information on this in the Bulwark section. With all these attributes combined, an unyielding enemy truly becomes unyielding, as the name suggests.


Key Highlights:

  • An unyielding enemy is a subcategory of armored-type enemies.
  • Regular attacks don’t work on unyielding enemies.
  • The type of armor you attack determines the damage they receive.
  • The way you take down unyielding enemies can differ depending on the enemy
  • Methods of defeating notorious unyielding enemies such as Beast Of Nurgle, Bulwark, Plague Ogryn, and Reaper.
