• Strike
  • Objective: Strike missions usually require players to disrupt enemy attacks. This translates to clearing demonic growths or stopping other themed attacks. 
• Disruption
  • Objective: The Disruption mission tasks players with stopping various Chaos plots. 
• Investigation
  • Objective: Investigation missions task players with scanning various objects using a servo-skull. You can also complete an achievement by achieving a Data Interrogation without an incorrect Auspex entry.
• Espionage
  • Objective: This mission is a Work In Progress as we haven't encountered this mission yet in the Beta. We imagine the objective based on the name will include feeding false information to Chaos forces.
  •  Assassination
    • Objective: The Assassination missions revolve around killing a notable Chaos leader or target. Usually, this means there is a boss battle at the end of the mission, like Captain Henrik Turnat.
  • Repair
    • Objective: The Repair mission tasks players with repairing a key piece of equipment or power systems. 
  • Raid
    • Objective: Raid missions usually have players collecting various resources from supply depots. 

Overall there are a wide variety of missions to choose from in Darktide. You may not encounter some missions in either the Beta or full release, as missions are on a rotation cycle. Every hour or so, new missions with side objectives and special events will appear on the map, so check back later if there is a particular mission you want to complete. You can also complete a Penance called the Vantage point for the Sharpshooter class by playing one of each mission in the game.
