UPDATE: A groundbreaking build for the Hive Scum class in Warhammer 40K: Darktide has just been revealed, transforming players into nigh-on immortal gunslingers capable of unleashing devastating firepower. This new playstyle emphasizes ranged combat over melee, showcasing the potential of the Enhanced Desperado ability, which grants players infinite ammo and immunity to ranged attacks.
With this just announced build, players can now fully embrace the chaotic battlefield of Darktide, turning the Hive Scum into a formidable force. The ability to dual-wield Dual Stub Pistols allows for rapid-fire engagements, making it an exciting alternative to traditional melee combat that players have utilized in earlier versions of the game.
In a recent update, developers Fatshark confirmed that the Enhanced Desperado ability has been tweaked since its early access days, but it remains a powerful tool for players looking to dominate in combat. The ability’s cooldown can be shortened with strategic kills, making it a game-changer for team dynamics.
The recommended build focuses on maximizing the Hive Scum’s ranged capabilities, with the following key elements:
– **Melee Weapon**: Crowbar
– **Ranged Weapon**: Dual Stub Pistols
– **Blessings**: Speedload and Sustained Fire
– **Perks**: Ranged critical hit chance and damage against Carapace Armoured Enemies
Players are encouraged to prioritize movement and dodging over blocking, as the build allows for heightened survivability through enhanced mobility. The Crowbar serves as a reliable backup weapon, ensuring players can fend off threats if they run low on ammunition.
In a surprising turn, this build has garnered mixed reactions from the gaming community. Many fans have expressed frustration over the choice of the Hive Scum class, questioning the decision-making behind its selection. However, the excitement surrounding its potential for inventive gameplay cannot be denied.
As players dive into the new gameplay mechanics, they are now equipped to tackle the challenges of Darktide like never before. With the ability to execute close-range kills while benefiting from reload speed bonuses, this build is poised to redefine how players approach combat scenarios.
