Dev Update: Flying Enemies in the Works, and Thoughts on a Sniping Skill

The Darkhaven team shared that they're building enemies that can actually fly, and floated the idea of a sniping skill to take them on.

A short update from the official Darkhaven Discord this time, but an interesting one.

Flying enemies

The developers mentioned they were spending the afternoon making enemies that can actually fly. No further details were shared yet, such as what these enemies look like or where they’ll appear.

A possible sniping skill

The developers also wondered whether flying enemies might open up fun opportunities for sniping. They said they’d like to have something sniping-focused. Interestingly, they first wrote “class,” crossed it out, and replaced it with “skill?”, which suggests they’re leaning toward a skill rather than a whole new class.

For anyone wondering where the inspiration comes from, the developers noted that the railgun was always their favorite weapon in Quake II.

This was framed as an idea being considered, not a confirmed feature, so treat it as a peek at the team’s thinking rather than an announcement. We’ll keep an eye on the Discord for more.
