Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Patch 9 Brings New Penances for Four Classes

The latest update of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is here and it brings several new penances for players to complete. A total of four classes have received penances, namely, Veteran Sharpshooter, Psyker Psykinetic, Zealot Preacher, and Ogryn Skullbreaker.
