Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus/Items
Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus — Equipment
30 equipment
Every Character has 3 Equipment slots: a Crit Item, a Block-or-Defensive item, and a Booster. Which named item a Character actually equips depends on their Faction — the entries below are the named items loadoutgg's Recommended Build boxes reference across the roster, each shown at the one rarity confirmed on the wiki's own Equipment page (forging one up renames it into a different item entirely — see the Basics page for how Ascension works). For which item(s) a specific Character runs, see the Recommended Build box on their own page.
