Aspiring Arbitrators of the Lex Imperialis!

As we promised with the release of the Arbites Gameplay Trailer at the PC Gaming Show, we’re bringing you a 7 minute long video showing gameplay of Arbitrators and their terrifying cybernetically-enhanced companions in their element, dispensing the Emperor’s justice with ruthless efficiency.

Give it a watch!

Regrettably, as this extended gameplay video is not a trailer nor, as it happens, a teaser, we were unable to stir the caption guy from his profoundly deep slumber - so you will have to do without this time around!

Wishlist the Arbites Class today on Steam.

So the dog is NOT a Blitz option after all, because we can see grenades being thrown

Interesting

So, what did we see…

The electrified shield looks pretty awesome, combining the CC of both the slab shield AND the shock maul?
A shield charge near the end. Unlike the Ogryn’s bull rush, it actually used the shield, so maybe it’s the weapon’s special and not a blitz/ability?
At the very end, grenades. Probably the blitz?

imagine the poor guy, commenting 7 minutes straight at auctioneers pace… thats something not even korean starcraft pro’s could pull off :hot_face: :sweat_smile:

edit:
now that i watched the video, i get why you chose a lower difficulty for the sake of “cinematic appeal”.

still i’d like to see how the weaponry fares in auric maelstrom and havoc :red_question_mark:

And that’s what this gameplay is all about? You’re presenting a class and you’re worried about the subtitle? Where do I see three different ultras, grenades? Why is this class a composite of Zealot’s ult, Psyker’s ult, and that’s just what I saw. Zealot and Mini-Smite grenades, are you serious? You put together a class from others and you’re selling THIS for 12 dollars? In the video you do glue, but you don’t switch between characters to see other abilities. Whoever thought this would be cool is a genius squared, the person you’re paying to do this doesn’t deserve a paycheck.

I was really hoping there wouldnt be shield attacks in the attack pattern

So you’re looking forward to it then?

Very much looking forward to it, I did see in action the ult that scares away, exactly from the first person character on the 07:1 video, and that’s my psyker’s ult, that scream.

It barely kills even on this difficulty, I’d say it’s 3rd. This video just makes me laugh hysterically and feel ashamed.

Cool to see that the doggo actually kills stuff even specials after some time.
But man… That gameplay is atrocious :joy:

They won’t have been able to use a high difficulty with dense crowds as we wouldn’t have been able to see anything lol

thats the thing, stuff like chaos spawn roughly takes 10-15 seconds of somewhat combined effort or one dedicated unyielding spec.

here, what seems to be malice, it takes ages with whats on display :man_shrugging:

granted, they cleary dont play for efficiency still my anticipation for the dlc has simmered down somewhat :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Why do they attack with the shield when they have a mace in the other hand :tired_face:
