How To Get Aquilas In Darktide

Aquilas are the premium currency in warhammer 40000 darktide, bought with real money. Learn how to get them and where to spend them.

Aquilas are the in-game premium currency in warhammer 40000 darktide that you must buy with real money using a credit or debit card. They are distinct from Ortho Dockets, Plasteel, and Diamantine, which can be earned through gameplay and used to purchase weapons and limited in-game cosmetics. To acquire standout gear, you will likely need to spend Aquilas.

The only way to obtain Aquilas is to purchase them directly. There is no method to earn them by fulfilling weekly contracts, despite what some game sites may claim. Aquilas can only be spent in the online store, The Commodore’s Vestures. This store can be accessed from the Main Menu (where you can also view your Penances by pressing ESC) or on board the Mourningstar by visiting the in-game concession.

Aquilas can be purchased in various amounts, with larger purchases offering bonus currency. Buying larger quantities theoretically provides better value. However, the game currently sells bundles in its store for 2400 Aquilas, a number that cannot be bought directly, often requiring multiple purchases. Timed sales have also led to community accusations of predatory behavior.

While not essential for gameplay, Aquilas are used to purchase cosmetics that enhance your character's appearance. These items are not cheap, but their cost is not yet at the levels seen in other games like Apex Legends or CoD.

How To Get “Free” Aquilas:

Purchasing the Imperial Edition of warhammer 40000 darktide provides several benefits, including the Loyalist Pack (4 unique class outfits, 8 weapon skin patterns, 1 set of headgear, and an Ogryn body tattoo), the Mortis Veteran Portrait Frame (a cosmetic portrait frame), the Caducades Backpack (a cosmetic backpack for human characters), and 2500 Aquilas. While the Imperial Edition costs more money, it includes extra cosmetics and may be a preferred way to support the developers.
