Best Barbarian Builds in Dark and Darker: Guide to Perks and Skills

A guide to the best Barbarian builds in Dark and Darker.

First Published November 24, 2023, 17:47

Dark and Darker is a dark fantasy multiplayer extraction shooter that is currently in early access on PC, with plans to come to mobile in the future. Like any good dungeon-crawling hero, your character in Dark and Darker falls into a particular class which is reflected in their playstyle, weaponry, and combat abilities. With 8 classes in the game, there's plenty of information to take in. Don't fret, though. This guide will give you the lowdown on the best Barbarian builds.

Barbarian Class Overview

The Barbarian is a real heavy hitter. It's a class with an immense constitution that deals out high-damage melee attacks, often capable of killing opponents in just two to three hits. Despite the Barbarian's strengths, it has lower movement speed and a magic defence that pales in comparison to that of other classes. This hulking warrior is an apt choice for players who enjoy a steady and formidable playstyle.

All Barbarian Perks

Perks are passive buffs to your character stats. At Level 0, you only have one perk slot. However, as you level up you gain up to four total. These can be customised in the class tab before you enter a dungeon.
