Behind The Arbitrators - BTS Dev Blog

I hope they all have strong feelings about psykers.

[MadMartigan]

I hope they try and arrest a BON for public disturbance and heresy

Like when Dredd pursues a xeno in the comic, trying to arrest it lol

[BlackMagicUser]

Can’t wait

[darth.crevette]

Wait wait wait… Michael Knight is a Fatshark writer?!

[BatlordCarcas]

Lol MadMartigan I cannot help but imagine that lol!

Well, interesting to note that it’s likely that whatever ‘narrative rework’ comes in a couple weeks, the rest of us will still be Rejects. That’s good imo. Not throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

[Badwin]

Hype! Excited for these new performances, and especially happy that the world is expanding like this. So much more interesting than jamming these guys in as rejects.

[Hextechnician]

You’re telling me I have to resist the urge to pick between Kerillian and Laezel? At least we get to pay dockets to swap voices freely now.

@FatsharkKitefin

As an Arbites player, you’ll arrive on the Mourningstar some time after the events of the Reject prologue, ready to join the fight.

Also I would like to give a big fat I told you so to anyone who ever used “X class is impossible because of lore” as a reason for something not being added to the game.

Turns out it really is that simple to write around it. How 'bout that?

Now about that admech class…

In fact, the Tancred Bastion was actually an Adeptus Arbites prison ship.

Wonder if they’ll sneak us into same prologue with just a different intro scene not in cell and different Zola interaction… but then there’s this line

Maybe play in same intro, then stay behind not boarding ship and have …some time later screen before arrival on morningstar

[BizarreSalp]

Knight Rider as next class confirmed???

[Cheturnadcatii]

Any possibility to pre order?

[Bastion220]

The Adeptus Arbites

[MarxistDictator]

Does that mean they’ll have their own tutorial mission to play? Not that its important, but it would be cool to see them try to enter non-rejects into the story. Maybe have you show up at the Bastion after the escape to clean up stragglers and investigate.

But I still care a lot more about gameplay things tbh and hope for something beyond ‘the dog + you get shields and clubs and a gun + melee combo’ for info. I actually like seeing how things go from concept through various prototypes to final.

[Steinar]

Cool. I was wondering whether or not Arbitrators would be rejects.

[EggFever]

apparently it’s the maul

[Saruman-The-Stinky]

I’m very excited to see how Arbitrators play out personally. However, I am definitely curious to know if they will be a tankier class - Arbitrator carapace armor is an iconic part of their design, and it seperates their appearance from the other units significantly. In gameplay, will this be taken into account when designing their perks?

Personally, I see the Arbitrator as a heavyweight crowd control unit, strongarming their way through hordes and hunting down priority targets with the help of their Cyber Mastiff - I’m hopeful that in gameplay, they feel like an unstoppable, yet somewhat slower force to counterbalance the Mastiff’s ability to lock larger enemies in place until the Arbitrator gets within range.

@FatsharkKitefin

The Arbitrators are definitely not Rejects.

I am vindicated. Two years ago on these very forums i said this could be done and lo i was right. Doubters belatedly btfo’d.
