Warhammer 40,000: Darktide announces its upcoming character class.

      Fatshark has announced the upcoming class for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, emerging fiercely from the depths of the Hive—introducing the Hive Scum class, which will be available on all platforms on December 2nd, leaving a trail of destruction behind them. Check out the new trailer below to get acquainted with this class.

      The Hive Scum are perilous characters embodying the alleged criminal elements that control the Hive city of Tertium. They fight ruthlessly, ensuring no one survives, and they are skilled in wielding both blades and firearms simultaneously.

      For the first time in Darktide, the Hive Scum class showcases dual-wielding proficiency; they can unleash firepower with pistols and then switch to using two shivs for close combat against their foes. Originating from the Hive's depths, they are adept at creating makeshift weapons like crude shivs and crowbars, and are competent with autopistols and stub-pistols.

      The Hive Scum have access to questionable chemical mixtures, allowing players to select their unique chemical blend as a customizable stimm. They can also apply toxic chemicals to their weapons for amplified damage.

      Thanks to the Hive Scum talent tree, players can align their playstyle to become a hyper-aggressive hybrid fighter, a ranged firepower specialist, or a brawling expert.

      As an added bonus, players can personalize their characters with an array of full-body tattoos, rugged hairstyles, and face paints, along with a choice of six different voices.

      The Hive Scum DLC will be released on all platforms on December 2nd.
