What Plasteel and Diamantine are and what they are needed for
Plasteel and Diamantine are raw materials added with the introduction of crafting elements to Darktide. For now, you can upgrade the tier of your items. The higher it is, the more resources you will need. You can do this in the Shrine of the Omnissiah, which is looked after by Hadron Omega-7-7 and can be found opposite the Psykhanium (the virtual test arena).
Keep in mind that Plasteel is more common, to get Diamantine you will have to work harder.

Where to get Plasteel and Diamantine
In order to obtain these raw materials, you have to go on missions. During them, you will have to search every part of terrain. In various containers you will find the resources you need. It is worth noting that the higher the difficulty level, the more materials you will find. Farming Diamantine starts to pay off at difficulty 3 (even at difficulty 2, the amount of Diamantine you can get is quite small compared to what you need). Remember – the more challenging the game, the better the rewards.
