This is great

[TheSplint]

jfc… sure… go enjoy your ganger class and be happy

Nothing about my argument is wrong tho

I will not start arguing more than I already have now

[darkdwarf007]

close range ranged attacks kinda sounds like zealot with Anoint in Blood, you know. Zealot is just another Vet confirmed?

[DaveeBoy]

cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

[PSI2007]

No video with supported format and MINE found.

“[…] so we have the Zealot as an aggressive melee character, but we don’t necessarily have an overly aggressive ranged character that, you know, hovers in close range, almost where other classes would opt into using a melee weapon.” ~ Teodor

I think Teodor forgot about Arbites and Castigator’s stance… or the two GTFO shotguns he brings.

This entire company is a joke.

@zircuits

It’s going to continue to be a thing. Like what did everyone expect with skitarii or whatever? That it wasn’t going to be this type of stuff but you have a mech arm for a blitz?

I saw the following proposals for admech classes, usually:

1. Servitor minions

2. really weird and destructive weaponry

3. support class gimmicks

Like, yes. It’d be ‘gun guy’ eventually if you really boiled it down. But the aesthetic and the opportunities would’ve been better.

[zircuits]

The real downside of hive ganger is that it means I can’t put a double barrel shotgun on a techpriest with a freeze grenade and flamethrower arm that restores toughness and pretend to be playing Doom Eternal.

Instead I’ll have to play darktide with dual pistols with infinite ammo and stims and a crowbar whacking things around at mach 9. How sad.

[Karlahk]

Tbh … i’m not hyped more disappointed by the choice for this class.

I hope the new hairstyles, faces and tattoos will also be useable with the other classes too.
If not i doubt i wanna buy this class …

@PSI2007

I mean it could be fun, BUT I really don’t see that this class fills any niche
not already occupied by several other classes.

This, this is absolutely why I, and a alot of other people, were hoping for admech. So many DIFFERENT options you could do with it that you just can’t with “generic hive scum”

@FatsharkQuickpaw

Immediately swap to and reload your ranged weapon, entering Desperado for a few seconds. During Desperado, the Hive Scum is immune to Ranged Attacks, Sprinting costs no stamina, and reloading does not reduce your Ammo Reserve.

Close Ranged Kills extends the duration of Desperado.

Executioner stance but better.

@FatsharkQuickpaw

Base Coherency Aura: Gunslinger

When an Ammo pickup is collected by you or your Allies in Coherency, everyone else in Coherency also replenishes a small amount of ammo.

Good.

@FatsharkQuickpaw

Coherency Aura: Ruffianp

Increased Melee damage for you and Allies in Coherency.

Fatshark it’s so basic don’t we have something similar already?

@FatsharkQuickpaw

A high powered missile launcher.

Ranged thunder hammer?

@FatsharkQuickpaw

Coherency Aura: Anarchist

Increased Critical Chance for you and Allies in Coherency.

Fatshark it’s even more basic than previous aura. Make it boost stims for other classes or damage to dots.

But overall chemic is most interesting.

Otherwise I think it’s ok judging from this post, I was expecting this as possible class, it fits Darktide narrative. Need gameplay.

[deusvult6]

I think all of the OG classes could have a ganger background one way or another. Even the ogryn could be ganger muscle.

[DornIvanotic]

Yeah, minions, remember how well liked necro was with every single good player in verm?

[Fuplaayz]

Looks absolutely “cracked up”

[Rvl]

There MUST be an aura that boosts stimms. This is such a cool idea.

Executioner stance but better.

We already have that. It’s Arbitrator’s Execution Order keystone xD

[CH3DD4R_G0B-L1N]

I was wondering if this was hinting that they actually don’t play their game.

Doom Guy super shotty vet has been my main play style with the class and is not terribly unpopular.

[Durandal94]

@Ragnarok101

Servitor minions

@Ragnarok101

support class gimmicks

To me this boring

@Ragnarok101

really weird and destructive weaponry

This however is cool

[Goat-Smote]

This is absolutely awful. ANYTHING would’ve been better than this.

[Hextechnician]

Thematically, I am a little disappointed, mechanically, I am very excited to get my hands on the class.

Definitely can’t wait to mess with the stimm system.
