## Summary

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is adding the Sisters Novitiate as a playable class on 7 December. The class brings a distinct Faith-based ability system and a range of weapons, giving players new ways to fight in the game.

Players build Faith during combat and choose doctrines and pledges that shape how it is gained and spent. They can equip two of six Acts of Faith, alongside weapons including the Condemnor Stakethrower, a flamethrower, mace, sword and shield, and Penitent Eviscerator. A free update arriving on the same day will also add the Metlagun for the Novitiate and Veteran; more details are due later.
