Darktide’s new Arbites class is overrunning the far future with exploding, immortal dogs
For the first time in its two-and-a-bit years on this Earth, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide has a new class of Imperial bastard to bop ‘eretics with. The Adeptus Arbites are – in direct contrast to the frazzled convicts you normally play as – shiny-helmeted space cops, and the fact that they cost a tenner to unlock has done little to slow their near-complete takeover of the average mission lobby. Them and their dogs, the AI-controlled Cyber-Mastiffs that very slightly elevate the Arbites’ design above a naked Judge Dredd pastiche.
Well, I say “Them,” but my own Arbitrator is absolutely among the numbers. I’m the police, it’s me. And who could blame us, because siccing that invincible, unflappable, EMP-detonating K9 unit upon Nurgle’s finest is the most fun I’ve had in Darktide since learning to throw rocks.
