Completing Penances offers cosmetic rewards to rejects in two forms. First being the individual Penance Rewards and the second is from Hestia's Blessings, awarded based on the player-account's total Penance score. The progression track is referred to as the 'Path of Redemption'.
The Path of Remption, Hestia's Blessings, and Penances are all accessed at the Shrine Penitentax within the Mourningstar's hub area, or alternatively accessed from the menu options.
Hestia's Blessings are awarded as progressive milestones based on a player's total Penance Points accumulated account-wide. The current total number of penance points able to be earned is above 5000.
Sister Prine bestows blessings upon rejects to mark milestones on their Path of Redemption. There are other Penance Rewards show offers for specific Penances.
The acolyte must continually strive to complete penances if they have any hope of becoming worthy of redemption in the eyes of the Adeptus Ministorum and the Emperor.
Armours[]
The Path of Redemption currently has a total of 45 tiers (although more tiers are planned to be added overtime). The freshly earnable rewards include a collection of portrait frames, insignias, end-of-round poses, emotes, trinkets, weapon skins, backpacks, and character cosmetics like the Loyalist Moebian 6th armor. Further, it’s exciting to reveal that the outfits showcased in the trailers and cinematics will be accessible through the Path of Redemption. These are commonly referred to as the Darktide 7, Zola’s most trusted strike team. (Dev Post: Path of Redemption - NOW LIVE!)
