Warhammer darktide6/24/2023 After a few levels, they trade in their gun for a force staff that shoots Palpatine lighting or manifestations of psychic force. Instead of a grenade, the Psyker uses a brain burst to explode a heretic’s head in a shower of gore and green smoke. The Psyker triumphs at lower levels of play, and is one of the most fun classes to use right now. His explosive strength doesn’t carry over to long-range solutions, making the Ogryn the ultimate team player. He’s an unwieldy guy, and without a Veteran or Psyker at his side, he’s going to struggle against Snipers, Poxbursters, and Gunners. The Ogryn’s big strengths are paired with big, obvious weaknesses. There are few better feelings in Darktide than blocking a chokepoint with the Ogryn, having your sharpshooters crowd around you to find clear shots, and holding the line while your comrades shred the heretics at hand. His shield gives him a powerful tool to deal with the game’s toughest enemies ( like the Daemonhost), by absorbing damage and blocking staggers. While the latter is a jack of all trades, the Ogryn is specifically a master of being a big, thicc tank. The Ogryn is an interesting contrast to the Veteran. Right now, the Veteran is just good at everything, and a reliable pick at all levels of play. While, unlike the damage-dealing Psyker, they require a lot of ammunition, they’re also much less of a glass cannon than their comrade. Their combat stance highlights special enemies, which makes them adept at taking out priority targets like Poxbursters or Scab Snipers. The chainsword is a powerful melee tool for going through hordes of baddies like a knife through butter, and of course, the Veteran also has access to an arsenal of ranged weaponry. ![]() ![]() ![]() Right now, they’re good at everything else too. Their core fantasy is very simple to explain and comprehend: They’re real good at gun. Don’t feel too bad for the Veteran, because they currently stand at the top of the pile of Rejects. The Veteran is a member of the Imperial Guard, cast down to prisoner status and freed only due to the luck of being in the right place at the right time. ![]() But for now, here’s how the class roster stacks up in Darktide’s launch period. Based on developer Fatshark’s previous work, it’s safe to expect further balance changes to come down the line, as well as new classes and archetypes as eventual DLC. While it’s delightful to spend time with most of these characters, it’s tough to get a sense of how they actually play without taking them into some higher-level matches and unlocking their signature arsenals. It makes for some fantastic barks and witty banter, but it also gives players the welcome option to double up on useful roles instead of forcing each party member to be unique.
