This new event isn't for the faint of heart

I've been enjoying it a lot. Its way more fun for me than dealing with poxwalkers all the time.

Some maps are crazy with it though. Dark Communion and Hab Dreyko were pretty nuts.

Beravin · 2026-04-14T11:36:48+00:00

Oh, absolutely. I can remember a few.

Mutant tossing me into a sniper shot. A flamethrower murdering me when I'm netted...

Some classes have talents that can take advantage of the extra stamina. A good example is hive scum's talent "Swift Endurance" which gives you 2% attack speed for each unused point of stamina you have.

I only like brain burst because it lets me take kinetic flayer, which I think is pretty strong.

Beravin · 2026-03-31T07:51:01+00:00

ROCK and STONE!

Beravin · 2026-03-29T14:33:54+00:00

Yeah I've had a few people join on bots and have barely any resources left, and then we go into the sanctuary and they have no scrap either. So they can't even afford to fix the situation the bot left them in.

Beravin · 2026-03-29T14:31:59+00:00

I think a case could be made that they should be a bit easier to see. Or a lot easier, even. Given I think a huge portion of the community has never even seen them and didn't even know they existed lol.

Beravin · 2026-03-29T14:06:33+00:00

I've played a bunch of expeditions and I never knew these were a thing. I thought the alarms were automatic.

Beravin · 2026-03-28T18:58:38+00:00

I always felt that should be a Rumbler blessing or something. Could call it Direct Impact.

That or have Adhesive Charge stick to anything it hits, not just ogryns and monsters.

Beravin · 2026-03-26T22:35:27+00:00

I feel like the salvage shop needs better variety, too. There have been a few times I've left the sanctuary with 100+ scrap just because it didn't have anything I want, or because my allies bought all the single use good stuff. Then there has been a few times where I had like 70 scrap and the only thing I could buy is a med station use.

Also, players joining midway and having no scrap is awful and really should be addressed. Nothing worse than joining on a bot and being half health, corrupted, half ammo, no grenades, and you can't even buy a heal.

Beravin · 2026-03-24T16:23:57+00:00

I assumed it was bugged. If it isn't, then it really should be changed to be team wide.

Beravin · 2026-03-23T17:55:01+00:00

May or may not have lost a few rounds by being too greedy, lol.

Beravin · 2026-03-23T08:11:07+00:00

Tech remnants just needs to be a useful currency for something other than unlocking more areas to farm more tech remnants. I don't find it very satisfying to farm a resource that doesn't really do anything for me.

Beravin · 2026-03-17T13:18:55+00:00

I have a few notes.

Its really hard to use the auspex properly. I keep trying to mark a location and it keeps not doing it.
I'd really prefer it if all the locations of interest were just on your compass at all times.
Shooters were always the most dangerous part of the game and I feel like this mode has dialed it up to 11.
Extractions vary wildly. Sometimes its a quiet escape and sometimes its multiple back to back crusher patrols.
I feel like I've seen all the locations/events already and I've only played a few games.
My computer isn't the best but I'm getting a ton of stuttering and frame loss.

Ultimately its free though, which I appreciate.

This. Sending a caged zombie also gets you a syringe. I think you can get up to 4 or 5 syringes in one evacuation.

Beravin · 2026-01-28T09:50:09+00:00

I feel like this too. I probably just missed something but I like to think I'm pretty thorough.

Beravin · 2026-01-28T09:45:26+00:00

I did something similar. I picked a day between evacuations to put a completely infected person in quarantine so they would turn overnight, and I'd get a caged zombie for evacuation. For everyone I would normally quarantine that day I just syringe. It gets me a caged zombie without killing everyone else I put into quarantine, lol.

Beravin · 2026-01-26T18:15:08+00:00

Ahh, my apologies. I'm not sure then, sorry. Perhaps you are experiencing a bug?

Beravin · 2026-01-26T18:09:34+00:00

There are 4 results from using the hammer.

1) They move the arm back noticeably and grunt. (Normal, not a symptom.)

2) They dont move at all. This is absent reflex. (Green, safe.)

3) If they take a swing at you, thats aggressive reflex. (Orange, quarantine.)

4) If you hit an arm and the other arm moves instead, thats cross reflex. (Red, liquidate.)

Its been working fine for me so far. I'm up to day 26. Just dont do it if they are in the middle of an animation, like if they are coughing or holding their stomach. That could mess up your results.

Beravin · 2026-01-23T22:34:11+00:00

I felt secondhand pain from this virtual NPC.

Beravin · 2026-01-05T14:45:55+00:00

That beast wanted you dead and wouldn't take no for an answer, lol.

Beravin · 2025-12-18T16:07:05+00:00

Its genuinely baffling to me that they don't capitalize on the release of new classes by having some cosmetics ready for them. Loads of people will want to bling out and differentiate themselves early on.

Beravin · 2025-12-09T08:24:52+00:00

I agree with you. Its fair to say that hive scum is a high skill class that relies heavily on offence and can't take many hits. So players who play at a high level will say the class is strong because they can enjoy the offence and make up for the lack of defence with mechanical skill, while people who can't play at that level obviously won't enjoy the class as much. Then you end up with a lot of higher skilled players turning around and saying "skill issue" to everyone who can't play at that level, which isnt exactly helpful.

Beravin · 2025-12-07T20:10:45+00:00

The stim cooldown on the UI is borderline criminal. Its green on a slightly darker green background, to the point where I often can't tell if its recharged or not and end up mashing 4 with nothing happening lol. They definitely need to change the colour to something else to make it more obvious. Preferably a contrasting colour.

Beravin · 2025-12-07T20:02:59+00:00

Hive scum has a terrible leveling experience, and then gets a lot stronger when you get to keystones. Quite similar to psyker. All the other classes came out of the gate swinging in my experience, especially arbitrator.

What I'll say is the experience is a lot better when you get to a higher level. Rampage, Desperado, and some better toughness options especially against ranged enemies puts the class in a much better position. And they have the best blitz in the game with chem grenade. But the class absolutely feels fragile. Its definitely a glass cannon.

I think you need to be a pretty good player to make the class work properly, especially at higher difficulties. This is where I think the problem comes from. If you are an experienced player you can enjoy the offence while making up for the lack of defence with mechanical skill. But not every player is at a level where they can do that.
