Warhammer 40,000: Darktide will launch the paid "Sister of Battle" class on December 7. Instead of following the existing classes' blitz and combat ability mechanics, this class accumulates Faith resources through combat to unleash six "Acts of Faith."
Players can equip two out of the six Acts of Faith at a time. Currently revealed abilities include Neural Whip, Icon of Purity, and Protective Litany, which can be used for direct attacks or provide buffs and protective effects.
The Sister of Battle's talent tree features different doctrines and oaths, altering how Faith resources are gained and spent. Players can adjust their talents around their chosen two Acts of Faith to create different builds.
The class's arsenal includes the Condemnor Stake Launcher, which can pin enemies' remains to walls, as well as flamethrowers, large maces, sword and shield combos, and the Penitent Eviscerator.
On the day the Sister of Battle launches, the game will also receive a free update adding Meltaguns, equippable by both the Sister of Battle and the Veteran. The development team stated that other content in the free update will be introduced later.
