Alright, listen up, Darktide fans! Fatshark just dropped a bomb – a Hive Scum bomb, to be exact. We're talking about a brand-new class hitting the game on December 2nd, and this one's a real wild card.

Forget your disciplined soldiers and heavy gunners; the Hive Scum is all about chaos and close-quarters combat. I mean, seriously, this character dual-wields guns or shivs! Imagine running around, guns blazing, while hopped up on homemade stimulants. What's not to love?

From what I'm seeing, the Hive Scum looks like it’ll shake up the game by being a super agile, in-your-face gunslinger. The idea is that you can specialize in either shooting or stabbing, and they're going to be perfect for players who like to live on the edge.

But here's where it gets really interesting: the drugs. Forget your standard grenades; the Hive Scum gets to cook up their own custom stims. We're talking about injectable buffs with effects you can tweak to your liking. There’s even a skill that lets you share the high with your teammates. Personally, I am looking forward to seeing how this all plays out!

While the trailer didn't initially blow me away – I was kind of hoping for something crazier, like a cyborg or a half-goat warrior, but I'm starting to come around. The Hive Scum's playstyle sounds incredibly fun, especially if you're tired of playing the more methodical classes.
