“Out of all the 40k options, they picked this?”: Fans are furious about the reveal of Darktide’s new class—and they might have a point this time

The new class revealed for Darktide is 'Hive Scum,' a character archetype centered around a common criminal. The announcement was met with disappointment from the community, with many fans expressing disbelief and frustration over the choice, feeling it lacked the excitement of more unique options available in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The Hive Scum's arsenal includes makeshift weapons like guns, shivs, and crowbars, which fans find underwhelming compared to the iconic weaponry in the setting. The decision to introduce this class may stem from practical limitations faced by the developer, Fatshark, as they may not have the resources to create entirely new character types in a short timeframe. The ongoing disconnect between community expectations and the developer's offerings has led to tension among players.

Warhammer 40k Darktide is getting another new class, and I swear to god if it’s not a toaster…

The Adeptus Mechanicus is a popular faction in Warhammer 40k, prompting enthusiasts to purchase related items. There is excitement surrounding the demo of Mechanicus 2, featuring the Necrons. In Warhammer 40k Darktide, the game has successfully represented various factions, but a technological class is notably missing. Speculation exists about the introduction of a new class, potentially the Mechanicus, following the conclusion of the Stolen Rations event. The class reveal is scheduled for November 11, with a free update on December 2 that will include a new trench-based Operation mission.
