The Skitarii Class has come to help serve the Emperor! Fatshark has launched the long-awaited Skitarii Class for Warhammer: 40,000 Darktide, introducing the Dark Rites live event, new Expeditions content, and two new enemies.
The Skitarii Alpha Primus are elite operatives loyal to the Omnissiah. They come with powerful cybernetic enhancements and unique playstyles. Each Skitarii can have three servo skull companions with unique abilities. These include hacking, reviving allies, or unleashing flames on enemies. This class offers players a wide range of tactical options to adapt to any threat in Tertium.
“Our community’s passion and feedback has been instrumental through Darktide’s evolution. The excitement surrounding Skitarii has been remarkable, and we can’t wait to see players deploy their servo skulls, experiment with new builds, and most importantly – have a great time.” – Martin Wahlund, CEO and Co-Founder of Fatshark
The Flesh is Weak, The Metal is Strong: The Skitarii Alpha Primus are elite soldiers chosen by the Machine God. They possess advanced mental and physical enhancements that set them apart from regular Skitarii. Their unique skill tree allows for extensive customization, enabling players to create a character as a long-range assassin, a fierce warrior with Transonic blades, or a powerful force of electrical energy. No one will stand a chance against you.
Constructed for War: Though bound by the doctrines of the Adeptus Mechanicus, no two Skitarii are identical. Construct your Skitarii choosing material types, augment patterns, and Forge World of origin. Choose from four distinct voice sets and then adjust the voice modulation to define your sanctioned configuration. Sacred Arsenal of the Omnissiah: Skitarii have access to an all-encompassing host of legendary weapons, which are fiercely guarded by the armorers of the Adeptus Mechanicus. The advanced wargear of the Skitarii includes legendary Arc weapons, dazzling Phosphor Blasters, slicing Transonic Blades, and high-powered Galvanic Rifles. Such power is unfathomable, and often lethal, to the unaugmented.
Other Transmissions from the Hive
Heretical Artifacts Live Event: The Admonition has been sighted gathering relics and sacred effigies and doing…unnatural things to them. Strike teams have been tasked with retrieving these stolen artifacts and returning them to Tertium’s clerics. As players gather artifacts, they can select one of two factions to join. The Adherents of Saint Messelina, which will bestow players with an increased coherency radius, alongside boosted attack and movement speed. Or the Scourge of the Faithless, which endows players with increased damage, burn damage, and burn duration.
Expeditions Update: Launching alongside the new class, players can explore a new scavenge zone and experience the desolate badlands of Atoma at Dawn for the first time. New opportunities await alongside quality-of-life improvements, electrifying environmental hazards, balance changes, and bug fixes, all to further enhance the Darktide experience.
New Horrors in the Hive: Heresy is spreading further throughout the Tertium with the arrival of two new enemies – the Scab and Dreg Vanguards. These shield-bearing human bruisers are faster and more agile than their Ogryn counterparts, offering a new tactical challenge for the strike teams on Atoma Prime.
Players can purchase the Skitarii Class today on all platforms for the price of $11.99 / €11.99 or the Deluxe Edition for $18.99 / €18.99.
