Best Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader Soldier build

What's the best Soldier build in Rogue Trader? For those of you that like sniping, burning, exploding, or just generally blasting your way through your enemies, Rogue Trader's Soldier class was made with you in mind. With an impressive amount of weapons in the game - from powerful alien sniper rifles to flamethrowers - Soldiers have the most options available to them when it comes to equipment; furthermore, they're not half bad with a melee weapon or two if enemies get too personal. While a bit easier of an archetype to build, the Soldier nevertheless requires a bit of nuance to make the most out of as you explore the dangerous Koronus Expanse.

If you're a fan of guns but not the Soldier's kit, check out our Operative archetype guide, which also works incredibly well with long ranged weaponry. Otherwise, our Officer guide details how to prepare the archetype for the use of guns. And if you want to forsake ranged weaponry all together in Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader, our Warrior guide has you more than covered. If you're still keen on a Soldier, read on for the best build.

Best Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader Officer build

What's the best Officer build in Rogue Trader? By far the least straightforward of the beginning four archetypes, Rogue Trader's Officer excels in supporting the rest of your adventure party as you traverse the horrors of the warp and battle waves of dangerous xenos. But why play as an Officer, you ask? Well, giving allies an extra turn can quickly turn the tide of battle, and the archetype's focus on the Fellowship characteristic means they're a great help dealing with all the dialogue you'll be sifting through. However, it is the only one that doesn't have a pre-made character to build off of - but don't worry, we got you covered, along with the best choices for an advanced archetype.

If you do want to play as a more initially straightforward class in Rogue Trader, check out our Warrior build guide - great for smashing things and staying alive. Likewise, our Soldier guide shows you how to make the most out of ranged weaponry to decimate your foes; otherwise, the unconventional Operative guide might fit your style more. If you're still keen on the Officer, read on to learn the best way to build a veritable commander, in and out of combat.

Best Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader Operative build

What's the best Operative build in Rogue Trader? For those that like to exploit, debuff, and debilitate, there's no better option than Rogue Trader's Operative archetype. It may take a while to wrap your head around how exploits and weaknesses work as you explore the Koronus Expanse, but once you get a handle on it, having two or more Operatives on your team at any given time greatly increases your ability to take down difficult foes. Tied with the Officer for being the most nuanced archetype, this guide will help you ease the stress of what specific talents and features to choose upon leveling up. You'll need a few of them to make short work of warp demons and xenos threats.

But maybe the Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader Operative isn't your style, and you'd like something a little bit more straightforward? Check out our guides for versatile but melee-focused Warrior or for the gun-obsessed Soldier archetypes. And if you're a sucker for complex mechanics but would rather pass on the Operative, our Officer guide details how to take command of your companions and the battlefield. If you're still interested in the Operative, read on to find out the best build.
