The Arbite is not a reject but still gets treated and spoken down to as one! No matter the class FS will be too lazy to change in game dialogs.

Really I donāt see how it is hard to understand that this class does NOT fit the Darktide background.
Rejects are somewhat normal citizen. Arbites are also normal citizen that applied for this job.
I donāt see how a mechanicus adept would have a place in the Darktide universe. I am really glad, surprised and happy of the new class.
I would say that I donāt think I would have been interested in a mechanicus adept class. Arbites were good, but I have never been a dog adept (I donāt use it).
The new class, I see plenty of things I already love in it.
I hope that we will get enough bullets (ammunitions) to hold the lineā¦ I doubt we will. See the description where they say that the class is meant to engage in close combat with ranged weapons, I have serious doubt that they will get enough ammos for thisā¦ except if they get a +50% ammos bonus. Butā¦ I will adapt, and I really love the spirit behind this class.
Atr least, a lot more than a Mechanicus adept class.

Arbitrators are graduates from the Schola Progenium, which means they are orphans whose parents died serving the Imperium. Their ranks fill a lot of the elite positions in Imperial institutions, like Commissars and Inquisitiors. Theyāre not very ordinary.
Tech-Priests and Skitarii are in another league of unusual, though, Iāll agree with that. I think something Mechanicus-adjecent could work, e.g. a Tech-Adept working in Tertiumās Manufactoria. Atoma isnāt a Forge World so the Priesthood wouldnāt have that much of a presence here, but there is enough industrial activity to explain some kind of techno-savvy character.

I simply really think that a gang member makes more sense than a Mechanicus adept. You pointed yourself that āit couldā workā¦ if we imagine thatā¦
For a gang members, we all understand how they could have been thrown in suicide missions by the Inquisition.

They should have been in the game from the start

I think they should have been the 3rd DLC class.

If I remember correctly, in the Reddit post, there were more than one frame, but you would have to find that post to see if Iām right.
That was the only Mechancius one on the Reddit post
You found it the Reddit post talking about this? Cool! Can you post the link here?
Reddit - The heart of the internet first is content creators, last is playtesters. These have been in the files forever, and like many frames havenāt been used ever. Just forgotten relics of the past.

And how do you know that the three frames, that look like they are given when you level up your character, are given to the content creators?
The 3 middle ones ? Those arenāt used (and theyāre not the only ones that are in the files).
As for the 1st and last, you can sometime see people who have them.
So can confirm at least the last one. FSās artist have made quite a lot of frames in advance without really it being meant to note future content (Like the Arbites wasnāt part of datamined frames).

I can just ping someone on here whoās in the cc program for the first, I know Daveeboy uses it exclusively.
Why do people keep saying that skitarii are hard to justify? They are premium tier guardmen for god sake.
Our time will come skittabros.

From the lore and narrative perspective Smelter, Power Matrix, Gloriana missions donāt make sense. And basically any other mission with technological infrastructure.
First of all there would be admech forces waging war to protect all those complexes. Atleast there should be magos, skitarii and battle servitors corpses everywhere.
Second - even if admechs would agree to send 4 laypeople (not even noble or honorable squad but just scum) there would be volunteers from the Mourningstar to escort such type of mission, both amdechs and somewhat regular people who follow or respect the priesthood of Mars.
The thing here is admechs not just an exotic thing, they are an integral part of Imperiumās society. One of two Imperiumās aquilla heads symbolises Mars basicaly.

That is what always surprises me.
They want to discover an ancient super-metal.
But they donāt send any person who knows how to deal with high-tech machinesā¦
They send 4 peopleā¦ that can literally destroy anything that is important.

And even if they would be capable of managing with technologies it just lacks the element of religious fundamentalism and piety that exist in Imperium.

True.
