Every Psyker Weapon in Darktide

As with our other weapon lists, we’ll be splitting each of the weapons up into their Primary and Secondary weapons for clarity. We’ll also offer our personal choices, though of course, you should use whatever weapons feel best to you. Without further ado, here are all weapons for the Psyker starting with their primary options:

Primary Weapons

  • Catachan Mk I “Devil’s Claw Sword
  • Maccabian Mk II/IV/V Dueling Sword
  • Catachan Mk III Combat Blade
  • Rashad Mk II Combat Axe
  • Obscurus Mk II Blaze Force Sword
  • Achlys Mk VIII Combat Axe
  • Cadia Mk IV Assault Chainsword

The Psyker’s primary weapons tend to lean more towards single-target damage rather than cleave, and unlock from the character’s first trust level to trust level 20. As such, some of their best options will be the iconic Chainsword and Combat Axe. Another fun option to run if you’re so inclined is the Dueling Sword, though keep in mind that its variants are somewhat more of a challenge to learn. Once you’ve mastered it, though, it can feel great pulling different moves off.

Secondary Weapons

  • Accatran MG Mk II Heavy Laspistol
  • Ius Mk III Shredder Autopistol
  • Agripinaa Mk I Infantry Autogun
  • Kantrael MG Ia Infantry Lasgun
  • Vraks Headhunter Mk III/VII Autogun
  • Equinox Mk III Trauma Force Staff 
  • Zarona Mk IIa Quickdraw Stub Revolver
  • Graia Mk III/VIII Infantry Auto Gun
  • Nomanus MK VI Surge Force Staff
  • Columnus Mk V Infantry Autogun 
  • Kantrael MG XII Autogun
  • Accatran Mk II/VId Recon Lasgun
  • Equinox Mk IV Voidstrike Force Staff
  • Rifthaven Mk II Purgatus Force Staff

The secondary weapon options open up between the starting level and trust level 21. If you ask us, you may as well ignore all the pistols and rifles and just go straight to the staffs, as they’re a key part of the class’ identity. Our favorites lie in both the Purgatus and Surge Force Staffs due to their fun factor and overall great pairing with the single-target melee damage.
