Developer Fatshark shared the newest gameplay footage for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide and its latest class: the Arbites, arriving June 23 with the trusty Cyber-Mastiffs. Players can also look forward to a new set of weaponry to enforce justice.
“Aspiring Arbitrators of the Lex Imperialis! As we promised with the release of the Arbites Gameplay Trailer at the PC Gaming Show, we’re bringing you a 7-minute-long video showing gameplay of Arbitrators and their terrifying cybernetically-enhanced companions in their element, dispensing the Emperor’s justice with ruthless efficiency. Regrettably, as this extended gameplay video is not a trailer nor, as it happens, a teaser, we were unable to stir the caption guy from his profoundly deep slumber – so you will have to do without this time around!”
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.
