THE TRUTH ABOUT: Alongside its new expansion warhammer 40k rogue trader got a massive patch buffing its weakest classes and companion | History Defined

Character portrait close-up of Warhammer 40K Chaos Space Marine, Uralon the Cruel.

Owlcat is an insanely busy RPG dev: It's currently developing Mass Effect killer The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, CRPG Warhammer 40K: Dark Heresy, and new add-ons to 2023's Rogue Trader as it celebrates 10 years of build sicko multiclassing. The latest Rogue Trader add-on, The Infinite Museion, was accompanied by a massive patch to the massive RPG.

The major changes, to my eye, were a balance pass to Rogue Trader's biggest glassjaw wimps: Operatives, Assassins, and Uralon the Cruel. The two classes (or "archetypes") have widely been regarded as the game's weakest. While far from unplayable, Operatives were hands-down outclassed by the RPG's other ranged damage archetype, the Soldier, while Assassins similarly couldn't measure up to the beefier Executioner.
