According to the official press release, the new Technophage Outbreak mission variant is the “most challenging” in the game to date. Players will find remixes of standard maps and objectives with higher reinforcement numbers, while the new Warp Surge conditions and tougher enemies make failure all the more likely.

However, those that manage to seek out victory will receive even greater rewards. The potential rewards, however, are also much greater.

The Eternal Venerable Dreadnought class will give players more firepower than ever before.

To help combat the increased difficulty and suppress the Nurgle threat, commanders will have access to the Venerable Dreadnought. This highly requested class becomes a playable fifth member of the Grey Knights squad during any Technophage Outbreak-themed mission, giving you a much-needed boost to your firepower. 

Kit your Venerable Dreadnought out with different unlockable weaponry to suit your specific needs and tactical requirements.

Aside from the Dreadnought class, Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters – Duty Eternal also brings a new base class to the game. The Techmarine is able to deploy and control a group of Combat Servitors, which join the Grey Knights on the battlefield as expendable units.

Unlike other units in the game, the Techmarine can repair or augment Combat Servitors and the Venerable Dreadnought during a mission, offering a support role to your squad.

Players will be able to liberate and commandeer the Gladius Frigate, a second strike vessel that extends the Grey Knights’ reach across the Tyrtaeus Sector. From aboard the Baleful Edict, commanders will deploy squads onto the Gladius Frigate and then send the ship across space, facing the Bloom in areas Edict cannot reach in time. 

These encounters will resolve automatically off-screen and will feature plenty of risks and rewards, adding another layer to the game’s strategic combat.
