now that they nerfed the hive scum havoc 40 players will now be happy that a class that they don’t play isn’t as strong anymore and everyone can go back to playing arbites as the god emperor intended
They buffed hivescum.
by making so that you have to stop shooting and attack melee
Darktide players when they have to interact with enemies
me when i want to shoot in my first person shooter game
Wouldn’t know to be honest, that noob magnet wasn’t allowed into our havoc premades
I am not aware of any other FPS where unlimited ammo is the default assumed mechanic. I guess l4d had infiniammo pistols?
I’m sympathetic to wanting to shoot a lot but desperado still has unlimited ammo. Stabbing 1 guy to get 20% ammo is immense.
Me when I consider tide games to be shooters and not mixed melee games
having infinite ammo is problematic, but having a immortal dog that kills the enemies for you while you play subway surfers is fine
Dog is much less impactive to the game than full force Pickpocket was though.
Tidephobia is an intense, irrational, and persistent fear of being touched or touching Tide enemies, often causing extreme distress, panic attacks, or physical symptoms like nausea.
I say: Dial it up to 11.
I’m really tired of randos who’ve joined this franchise post Darktide release demanding it stops being a Tide game, because they can shot all day in other games. Was I wrong? Was gatekeeping the correct approach ?!
it shouldn’t be an default assumed mechanic. it’s an build for one of the 6 classes at the very end of the skilltree, i don’t see the reason why it should be changed, you can easily play a zealot without touching your gun for the whole match, which is something i do very often when playing, and it was extremely fun never using your melee weapon as the hive scum, and since i had infinite ammo i could leave the ammo packs for my teammates and everyone could shoot at will.
You’re allowed to shoot all you like, you just need to stab a hound once in a awhile to shoot more. You can do that, right???
if the only way to have “fun” is needing the cheapest way to clear the highest tier difficulty, then no, noone should be able to trivialize said content relying solely on those overperforming outliers.
currently I have a lot of fun though reading those comments 
i play on heresy difficulty, so i don’t really care about clearing the highest difficulty tier
you just need to stab the hound, if the arbites hound doesn’t kill it first, if the psyker doesn’t asssail or brainburst it first, if the veteran doesn’t snipe it first, etc…, or you could just shoot it.
Yeah, a singular hound or literally any elite- A special that the game spams dozens of times per minute and then some to get a boat load of ammo. Why is that so hard? You’re acting like you have to solo a captain.
a boatload of ammo, you get like 10 bullets, that then you need to spend to kill the next specials, if you need to keep switching to melee every 10 seconds , just play a melee focused class
