How to Unlock Ascension Riser 31 in Warhammer 40K: Darktide

With regular updates and hotfixes, Warhammer 40K: Darktide is back again with a new Content Drop. With updates and content predominately bringing players new features whilst simultaneously refining Warhammer’s gameplay, fans eagerly awaiting the arrival of new Maps and Bosses to verse. The Content Drop: Rejects Unite brings more to the playing field, with a new enemy ‘Chaos Spawn’ and brand new Missions ‘Archivum Sycorax’ and ‘Ascension Riser 31’. Whilst the playerbase are a little concerned on how Rejects Unite will be received, highly due to the fact that the Update has been delayed multiple times. But how exactly do you play Ascension Riser 31 as it remains locked in Darktide? Vincent’s guide will tell you how you can unlock and attempt this Community Event for yourself.

How to Play Ascension Riser 31

Ascension Riser 31 is one of the two new Missions available in Warhammer 40K: Darktide. Its method of unlocking it however it two-fold. You are your team will need to work together to complete a set of three Challenges. However, in this update, players as a whole would need to work together in order to unlock this new Map holding the latest Mission. To elaborate, there are 3 Challenges that the entire Darktide Playerbase would need to complete in order to unlock the Map. The Challenges ask players to get a collective total of 300,000,000 Kills and must complete Missions equalling a total score of 900,000.

Whilst the total has been dropped since its initial Update release of May 29th, 2023, fans of Warhammer are unhappy about this newest Content Drop. With the locking of a Map that requires everyone to work hard and complete Challenges just to experience a single Mission, it is a wonder if the Map is indeed complete as of the time of the Rejects Unite release. The Community Event is meant to build hype for players, working hard to complete the 3 Challenges together and whilst the Map will inevitably get unlocked, a lot of players are not excited by the fact that the Map is locked in the first place.

For now however, players can try out Archivum Sycorax as part of Rejects Unite but the patient wait for Ascension Riser 31 will have to be enough for those wanting to return to Chasm Terminus and see what awaits them at the other side.
