Are you ready to become justice itself? Developer Fatshark announced that brutal action-shooter Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is in for a new class. The Arbites arrives on June 23, bringing along Cyber-Mastiffs and a new set of weaponry to enforce justice.
“The Adeptus Arbites are Warhammer 40,000: Darktide’s first new class! They enforce the Lex Imperialis – the Imperial Law. Utterly unforgiving, they persecute heretics and traitors throughout the Emperor’s realm. As an Arbitrator, you are a warrior of the Emperor’s justice, prosecuting crimes against the Imperium with disciplined zeal. Restore order to Tertium with your Cyber-Mastiff and a devastating array of new weaponry.”
Stay tuned, the developers also revealed that there will be the first look at the talent tree, the cyber-mastiff, new weapons and more shared before the release.
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide – Arbites Class adds the following:
- Command your Cyber-Mastiff: A relentless, cybernetically-engineered hound, that is never far from your side. Direct your vicious kill-dog to take down enemies, disable priority targets and provide critical support to your strike team. This is no pet – it’s a fearsome weapon.
- Your judgment. How will you enforce it? Craft your unique Arbitrator by mixing freely between 80+ talent nodes, or choose one of the three main paths found in the branching talent trees. A more separate dev blog will be coming out delving into more detail on the Arbites’ unique talent tree soon.
- Deploy the Nuncio Aquila: Arbitrators bring new technology in the form of the Nuncio Aquila, anti-grav vox platforms that spreads propaganda overwhelming their opponents with fear of the impending voice of the Lex.
- Exact punishment with extreme prejudice: Muscle forwards with reinforced Assault Shields and a choice of Dominator Maul or Arbites Shotpistol – Darktide’s first defense/range combo. For tougher targets, the Arbites Shotgun packs a unique punch with its Special Issue ammunition. A more in-depth detailed breakdown of the Arbites weapons will be coming out soon.
- Sanction wears many faces: Customise your Arbitrator, choose from six voices across three personalities, earnable cosmetics for your Cyber-Mastiff, character, and weapons.
