Keystone and Blitz Bars

Keystone & Blitz Bars

Two stamina-style bars, shown at the same time: one for your Keystone stacks, one for your Blitz charges. No more choosing between Martyrdom stacks and knife count - track both.

A continuation of Blitz Bar by Tomohawk5, building on the community patches that added initial Arbites/Hive Scum support.

Check out my companion mod, Stamina and Dodge Bars too!

• []Two independent bars - Keystone and Blitz are separate HUD elements; each can be toggled, recolored, reoriented and repositioned on its own[/]

  []All six classes - including full Arbitrator and Hive Scum keystone tracking[/]

  []All Keystones & Blitz' supported - Even Psyker's Brain Burst (if Kinetic Flayer is selected)! The only exception being Smite on Psyker (nothing to track).[/]

  []Auto-detected labels - the bar names itself after whatever you have equipped (MARTYRDOM, KNIFE, DESTINY, etc) with custom names for Ogryn's Rock, Nuke and Leadbelcher.[/]

  []Per-class value display - show stacks (3x), regen/duration time (12s), or damage bonus next to each bar[/]

  []Per-class colors - full and empty segment colors for every archetype[/]

  []Always Show option - keep the bars on screen even when empty[/]

  Bar readout (Stacks vs Time)

  Every bar's value can be set per class under Archetypes in the mod options.

  Most options show Stacks by default. Where a countdown is more useful, the

  mod defaults to Time (s) so you can see when your next charge or refresh lands:

  • []Psyker – Blitz: Assail, Kinetic Flayer (cooldown / recharge)[/]

    []Veteran – Blitz: Frag / Krak / Smoke (auto-replenish grenades)[/]

    []Arbites – Blitz: Dog / Mines (auto-replenished)[/]

    []Hive Scum – Keystone: Chem Dependency, Vulture's Mark (timed buffs)[/]

    []Skitarii - Keystone: Unfortunately we cannot support Blitz' due to their nature being unique from the grenade charge API[/]

  Prefer one over the other? Switch any bar between Stacks, Time (s) and % in the settings.

  (Hive Scum's Blinder stays on Stacks — it refills on kills, not a timer.)

  Installation

  • []Install the Darktide Mod Framework if you haven't already[/]

    []Extract the archive into your mods folder[/]

    []Add keystone_blitz_bars to mod_load_order.txt[/]

  Recommended: Custom HUD to drag both bars wherever you like - each bar is its own draggable element.

  Coming from Blitz Bar?

  Settings do not carry over (different mod namespace) - you'll set your preferences once. The "Prefer Grenade" toggle, manual label picker, and value-prefix options are gone: just toggle each bar per class and pick its value display. Remove blitzbar from your load order to avoid running both.

  Fixes over the original

  • []Added Arbites & Hive Scum support for both keystones and blitzes[/]

    []Fixed an engine crash on HUD teardown caused by widget renderer references never being released[/]

    []Replenishing blitzes (Assail, dog whistle, replenishing grenades) now respect your chosen value display instead of forcing a countdown[/]

    []Fixed Marksman's Focus permanently showing 0 stacks (the game moved stack storage out of the talent resource the original read)[/]

    []Fixed Weapon Specialist only tracking the melee-kill side, ranged kills will be capped at 1x[/]

    []Fixed Big Friendly Rock being labeled "Box" (now named "Rock") with the wrong charge count when the explosion modifier is taken. Frag Bomb is also now labeled "Nuke"[/]

  Troubleshooting

  Type /kbb_debug in chat to print the full detection state (archetype, relevant talents, per-bar status). Include that output and your console log when reporting bugs.
