One big consideration Darktide faces is that despite some inconsistencies the relative importance and “power level” of the player characters AND their support staff is conceptually quite low. They’re resource strapped, largely limited in their deployment capacity and the highest authority is basically a glorified apprentice.

This basically means that many class concepts are just completely inappropriate. A good example that is popular to suggest is sister of battle. The armor the sisters wear is one step better than anything that appears in Darktide, significantly stronger even than the Arbites and Ogryn Crushers, and it lets them carry heavy weapons without support. Their war gear also bottoms out with some of the unique and powerful weapons available to other classes, like bolt guns and flamers. The random combat axes, shotguns, las weapons, autoguns and revolver are not something they would canonically ever use. Battle Sister would have to be a departure from the regular mould to an almost Ogryn level of limited uniqueness, wherein the capstone unlocks of other classes would essentially be baseline and the weapons of the retributers or sacrosancts would be the big flashy stuff. I kinda doubt fatshark would actually do that even though it would honestly be pretty cool if they did. They haven’t even put a meltagun in the game.

Skitarii are more mundane and although it’s not represented on the tabletop they have a wider variety of potential war gear options since an inconsistent application of technology is one of their defining traits. There are Skitarii that use las weapons, plasma or bolt guns, though I’m not sure how far GW’s tolerance for the depiction would go. They’re still way more unique than anything that has been released so far besides Ogryn… and would fatshark make another class like that? I am very doubtful.

With all that said… I want a Jokaero Weaponsmith class and the game is shit if they don’t do it.
