Description

My first build on Hive Scum. I tried to emulate my Zealot Bleeding Combat Knife build. It was a lot of fun running and slicing, leaving enemies to bleed to death with occasional chem grenades and Blue-mode AoE-DoT chem darts thrown around to add chemical regeneration and reduce enemies' damage and such.

I am not a pro. All builds that I post are builds that I use, depending what I am in a mood for. They work consistently well enough for me at Damnation level.

Playing the same build forever probably make you "get gud", but playing different builds keeps the game fun. Enjoy the ideas.

Build made on 10/Aug./2026.
