Warband!
The Adepta Sororitas will make their presence known on Tertium, with the Sisters Novitiate class launching into Warhammer 40,000: Darktide with fervour and fury. Wielding a devastating arsenal of weaponry and channelling their unwavering faith through a unique talent system, these zealous warriors will come thundering into the Hive ready to prove their mettle in the Emperor’s name!
The Sisters Novitiate Class will launch alongside a free update introducing the long-anticipated Meltagun to Darktide! The iconic Warhammer 40,000 weapon can be wielded by both the Sisters Novitiate and the Veteran class.
The Sister's Novitiate will be released December 7 and is available to wishlist now!
The Emperor Protects:
Unlike other classes, the Sisters Novitiate are able to choose from six divine and devastating Acts of Faith, as opposed to blitz and combat abilities. Their abilities draw upon reserves of Faith, allowing them to unleash brutal Neural Whip attacks to the inspiring Icon of Purity and protective prayers. Faith can take many forms for the Sisters Novitiate, each channeling the Emperor's divine will and bringing his wrath upon his enemies.
Faith must be proven, Sisters Novitiate build their reserves throughout combat, choosing from a range of Doctrines and Pledges within their talent tree, each shaping how Faith is both accumulated and put to use. Any two Acts of Faith can be equipped at a time, allowing players to choose how their Novitiate will unleash righteous fury on the battlefield.
Arms of the Ecclesiarchy
Though still Novitiates of the Adepta Sororitas, these battle eager warriors have come to Tertium ready for war! Their arsenal is formidable, including the Condemnor Stakethrower - which pins what remains of their enemies to the walls. Alongside these they also carry the Ministorum Hand Flamer, Mace of the Righteous, Penitent Eviscerator and the Novitiate Sword and Shield. Whilst these weapons are unique to the Sisters Novitiate, they also wield the Meltagun, which is also accessible by Veterans. Different hands, same consecrated purpose.
United in Holy Battle
The Sisters Novitiate bring both support and frontline resilience to the war on Tertium. Built to fight alongside their allies, they can weather the thick of the battle while weakening enemies, controlling the battlefield and keeping their allies in the fray. Their strength lies in standing where they are needed most, disrupting the enemy and shaping the battlefield to their advantage.
Sacred Beasts of Burden
The Sisters Novitiate Class Deluxe Edition unlocks the Cherub, a grotesque yet angelic accessory befitting the faithful servants of the God-Emperor. This unsettling mechanical companion flutters around the Sisters Novitiate as a purely cosmetic addition, accompanying them on their holy duty.
More Transmissions from the Hive
The December 7 Class release is accompanied by a free update. Introducing the Meltagun to the armories of Hive Tertium, wieldable by both Sisters Novitiate and the Veteran, the iconic weapon unleashes a devastating blast of thermal energy. More information on the free update coming soon.
Sisters Novitiate is Darktide's fourth Class DLC and will be available on all platforms at the price of $11.99 / €11.99
That’s all for today! In the coming days we will reveal more in our first Feature Highlight about the new class!
See you on the Mourningstar,
