Members of the Psyker class are what’s called psykinetic, which sounds a little more violent than your standard telekinesis, and they can do things such as bursting the brains of enemies with this power. Your Psyker needs to stay as far out of harm’s way as they can though, because they’re not as hardy as other classes. If you don’t meditate to chill your Psyker out from time to time then you’re likely to explode, too. Literally explode, not just have a tantrum.

Ed managed to grab somehands-on time with Darktideback at Gamescom in August and found it fun, if familiar. “Towering brutes staggered towards us rattling with armour, so we’d have to micro-manage our positioning to lead them away from the group,” he said, “or a bulbous boss would come clattering down the stairs and we’d need to back away quickly to safe pastures. Sticking together is everything, and the game understands how to erode this glue.”

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide arrives onSteamon November 30th for £33/$40/€40. You can read more about the Psyker class in the developer bloghere.
