About this tierlist

Every operative in Darktide ranked.

Hail the Emperor!

Note, all operatives are great and contribute to their team. But some operatives are better then others. 

7. Veteran
Vet is the worst as not only can other classes do his job better, like Skitarius with Galvanic Rifle or a ranged Zealot. But because he is too squishy and doesn’t exceed in anything unique. As he doesn’t have great horde clear, boss killing, and even his gold toughness from shout is overshadowed by book. 
6. Arbitrator

Arbitrator is a great tank and support put together, and exceeds in survivability and even damage with the right build. Not to mention he isn’t overshadowed by anyone except Ogryn. It’s just that survivability isn’t everything and that other classes can contribute just a little bit more.

5. Zealot

My personal main and by far the most versatile and adaptive. Zealot is the second best definition of an all rounder as he’s able to do the most damage in one attack and also being able to horde clear and support, yet not being the best in either. He can fill any role yet can’t exceed in any one category except in burst damage. 
4. Ogryn 

My second personal favorite and by far the least selfish class. He relies on his teammates yet his teammates rely on him. He can revive his teammates even if he’s knocked out of reviving. He can taunt or charge to agro/disorient enemies and has the best survivability after Arbities.

3. Skitarius

Skitarii is the best all around class. He can horde clear with Branx Mk III Arc Maul or the Branx Mk XI Paired Transonic Blades . He can deal boss damage with Chordclaw Strike . He can be a tank, he can be a support with Medicae Servo-Skull and Purgator Servo-Skull . He can do anything quickly and efficiently. 
2. Hive Scum
Easily the squishiest operative. But definitely the most consistent damage wise and by far the fastest class. He can clear hordes and do boss damage while dodging like a mothafucka. 
1. Psyker

The best class out of all seven of them. It’svery versatile and has great damage while also being the third squishiest. It has great horde clear with the Rifthaven Mk II Inferno Force Staff and the other staffs. You can run melee and ranged builds. You can do boss damage. You can focus elites. You can do pretty much anything but tank on Psyker. Which is why he’s the best.
