Hotfix #74 (1.8.6) for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is rolling out across platforms. The patch removes several crash triggers, trims memory use on the Mourningstar for PlayStation, and swaps a couple of Havoc Campaign missions plus a mutator. Crashes get priority here, and the mission rotation hit on August 25. Kinda reassuring if you ran into those binds.
