The Darktide Arbites class adds a new dynamic to the Warhammer 40k co-op shooter

The launch of the new Warhammer 40k Darktide class, the Arbites, is about to transform the dynamic of the grimdark co-op FPS. Fatshark’s brutal, chaotic horde shooter is the futuristic, heavy-metal sibling to Vermintide 2, and despite some early teething problems it feels like it’s now in a good spot. Steam reviews are positive, a big update is set to improve both progression and new-player onboarding, and now the first Darktide DLC is ready to unleash a fresh presence upon proceedings. I took an early look at the Arbites in action, and I can’t wait for the full release.
