The Emperor’s foes are about to feel a new wave of terror with the second DLC of Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters – Execution Force. Now available on both Steam and the Epic Games Store, this DLC offers a spine-tingling showdown against the formidable adversaries of the Emperor at the bargain price of £12.99/$14.99/€14.99.

Execution Force carves a grim landscape of destruction, introducing four unique Assassin classes, each wielding their distinct skills to dispel Nurgle’s malevolent forces. As players traverse the tumultuous terrain of new Tentarus Hive missions and boarding action tasks, they gain control over the cosmic battlefield.

Accompanied by a free update, the DLC comes with new Warp Surge events and three formidable foes for the base game – the Plague Surgeon, the Nurgling Swarm, and the mammoth Beast of Nurgle. The introduction of new wargear options arms their squad to unleash swift and ruthless justice.

The Officio Assassinorum endows the formidable Strike Force Xiphos with a specialist assassin from each of the four major temples. The Vindicare Assassin, a maestro of long-range combat; the Eversor Assassin, a symbol of terror at close quarters; the Culexus Assassin, a psychic dampener that neutralizes Nurgle’s psychic powers; and the Callidus Assassin, a genius of infiltration and subterfuge. Once these deadly recruits join their barracks, they open up an entire universe of tactical possibilities on the battlefield.

The Assassins equip commanders with novel strategic routes to vanquish their foes in the recently launched Tentarus Hive missions. During these missions, the corruption levels on host worlds are set to skyrocket unless promptly addressed. They must annihilate the central Tentarus Hive, but not without bracing for a nerve-wracking area of effect bombardment. On the Star Map, they can outmaneuver the stalking Death Guard, embark on hazardous boarding missions against enemy cruisers, and sabotage crucial generators in a deadly race against time.

Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters – Execution Force not only expands the warzone with new units, maps, and mission types but also puts players at the helm of ferocious combat machinery. The objective is crystal clear – strike surgically at the heart of Nurgle’s forces.

Players will need the base game to immerse themselves in this cosmic havoc, with the new content becoming accessible following the first Grand Master’s report in the campaign. The time has come to unleash the wrath of the Emperor on his foes and let the celestial chaos unfurl.
