Guide to Warhammer 40K Darktide Rolling Steel Bomb Defusal Minigame

The latest update to Warhammer 40K Darktide has introduced a new mission called Rolling Steel. This mission acts as the first operation and involves players boarding the Transit Mover RTX-590, a colossal train loaded with explosives that must be stopped before it reaches the transit station. Additionally, it features a new repeating bomb defusal minigame. Here’s how the minigame operates in the Warhammer 40K Darktide Rolling Steel mission and tips for efficiently completing it.

Darktide Rolling Steel Bomb Defusal Minigame

During various segments of the Rolling Steel mission, players must defuse bombs using the Data-Interrogator. To successfully defuse a bomb, players need to keep a white circle centered on the device’s screen, avoiding contact with the edges.

First, ensure you can securely place the Data-Interrogator, while coordinating with your team for cover.

Once the defusal process starts, a white circle will appear on the device’s screen.
The circle will drift randomly, and you must steer it.
Gently tap the W, A, S, D keys or your controller’s movement buttons to guide the circle, avoiding holding any directional input.
This technique is crucial, as tapping offers better control, while holding will push the circle toward the edges.
By tapping, you can maintain the circle’s position near the center, and being closer to the center will expedite the defuse meter’s progress.

If the white circle touches the edge, the defusal process will pause, requiring you to reposition it back to the center.

You can monitor your defusal progress at the top right of the screen or through the bars encircling the white dot on the device screen. The process typically takes around 30 to 35 seconds.

After the timer runs out, the minigame concludes, allowing you to progress in the mission. You will need to defuse bombs three times based on our gameplay experience thus far.

Since this mission is time-sensitive, maximizing your efficiency during the bomb defusal minigames is highly recommended.

The recent update for Warhammer 40K Darktide brings significant balance adjustments and overhauled systems; however, players may encounter stability issues. If you are facing the 5002 error in Darktide, here’s what you need to know.
