Fatshark revealed the Sisters Novitiate class for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, arriving December 7th. The class uses a Faith-based ability system that differs from other classes in the game. Players build Faith during combat and choose from six Acts of Faith instead of standard blitz and combat abilities. Two Acts of Faith can be equipped at once.
The Sisters Novitiate wield the Condemnor Stakethrower as their signature weapon, which pins enemies to walls. They also access flamethrowers, a mace, sword and shield, and a Penitent Eviscerator. A talent tree of doctrines and pledges shapes how Faith accumulates and deploys across the battlefield.
A free update launches the same day as the DLC class, introducing the Metlagun, equippable by both Sisters Novitiate and the Veteran class. Fatshark plans to share more details on the free update soon.
