Ok so hivescum has a few problems: 1:Insane dodge range and DPS in meele with shivs and with the right talents can be the best DPS 2: The whole ranged combo/rocket launcher/meele can create a character which can do all roles which is boring to play with. 3: Needle pistol is broken. A few shots an…

I can’t even shoot anything when I play Jado because those two Inferno Staff Psyker’s in my team, snaps their fingers and heretics magically disappear from my screen. :rofl:. Game expansion is very much needed to breathe fresh air into this game that is stale as old bread currently. Let Sony buy F…

[image] Jado: My veteran also has the option of rolling out with infinite ammo, something no one is talking about anymore. No he doesn’t, no build of veteran has infinite ammo that is remotely as easy to achieve as in case of HS. What are you even talking about?

[image] anon41016878: rewarding hybrid gameplay because that works so well for PBB ogryn right? Oh wait…

the problem with scum actually is all the monkey paw stuff cooked in the tree. Cartel special 75s For max 2 branches is waay too long for an average auric game. Joe casuals will never be able to benefit from that, but then they probably ignore the mechanic altogether, and for high havocs it’s bare…

[image] Killerz34: with the right talents can be the best DPS and thats a problem how? compared to spampsyker at least melee scum had to put in the footwork and movement to get it done without going down :man_shrugging: who should be the “best dps” then?

[image] Archon_Dagoth: because that works so well for PBB ogryn right? Oh wait… Works better than pickpocket breaking the game thats for sure. Also total false equivalency, the ogryn node for 10 melee kills = 1 free shot is not remotely comparable to the pickpocket concept where meleeing is r…

You know the Needle pistol can only do 1 single target right? The alternate mode does have an explosion after a kill but it doesn’t do much against Crushers. Also you don’t need Pickpocket to have unlimited ammo. The Desperado ultimate can give u unlimit ammo in Auric. If they nerf Pickpocket, th…

You can also just Swap modes based on the situation It takes like 3 shots to guarantee a kill on a crusher in the main mode, then you can swap the mode to deal with everything else

[image] Torimori: No he doesn’t, no build of veteran has infinite ammo that is remotely as easy to achieve as in case of HS. What are you even talking about? My former main is a Veteran who is True Level 1982, but I currently main Hive Scum and the Veteran absolutely have unlimited with my La…
