Overview
- The Hive Scum is a paid class DLC priced at $11.99 for the Standard Edition and $18.99 for the Premium Edition, arriving December 2 on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
- Designed for aggressive play, the class dual‑wields autopistols and shivs, offers Desperado and Rampage ultimates, and adds an optional Stimm Lab system and a new toxins damage type.
- All players receive a free three‑mission story arc the same day, featuring outdoor combat including a ‘No Man’s Land’ trench operation with a tank escort objective.
- Access to the new arc ties to campaign progression but can be joined in co‑op with teammates who have it unlocked.
- Fatshark says new classes typically take six to twelve months with teams of 10–25 people, plans continued support, and notes PvP modes are not currently planned.
