Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader gets a free collaboration weapon DLC today in the form of the Sapper Shovel

Owlcat Games has released new free DLC for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader as a part of a collaboration with Fatshark’s Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.

This DLC is now available in the form of a free weapon: The Sapper Shovel. The Sapper Shovel brings a part of Darktide’s combat into Rogue Trader. You can grab the DLC here on Steam. This DLC follows the recent ramp up for reveals around the upcoming Lex Imperialis expansion for Rogue Trader.

If you missed it, the CRPG was recently confirmed to have sold over 1 million units worldwide. We reviewed Rogue Trader last year, where Bryan called it his “favorite title so far from Owlcat Games”. 

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam). The Lex Imperialis expansion is due this Spring.

You can find all the details from Owlcat Games about the free collaboration weapon DLC below:

Owlcat Games and Fatshark are joining forces in a grimdark collaboration that bridges the brutal hive cities of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide with the treacherous expanse of Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. To celebrate this partnership, a free DLC weapon — the Sapper Shovel — will be available in Rogue Trader, bringing a piece of Darktide’s relentless combat to the Koronus Expanse. On the other hand, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide will feature a unique weapon trinket inspired by the Rogue Trader compass.

The Sapper Shovel: A Symbol of Survival

Once wielded by the desperate Rejects of Atoma Prime in their fight against heresy, the Sapper Shovel now finds its way into the hands of a mighty Rogue Trader. Heavy, brutal, and unrelenting, this weapon is more than just a tool—it’s a testament to defiance in the face of annihilation. Players can claim this fearsome tool in the Upperway location in Act I, and those who’ve progressed further in the game can claim the item from their chest. 

Limited-Time Offer: The Void and Hive Crossover Bundle

Now, fans can seize the opportunity to own both critically acclaimed titles in a special limited-time bundle. Whether you’re a Lord Captain commanding a dynasty or a hardened Reject purging a hive city, this is the perfect chance to dive deeper into the grim darkness of the 41st millennium.

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is available on Windows PC via Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store, together with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X.
