The Hive Scum brings a fresh, gritty dynamic to the Tertium battlefield, and in this session, we’re showcasing how to play this class effectively from a fresh save. With over 600 kills and zero team deaths, this run highlights the survival capabilities and raw damage output the Hive Scum can provide when played with the right positioning.
Reaching Level 11 is a massive turning point for the Hive Scum. This milestone finally grants us access to the Shrine of the Omnissiah. This is where we can visit Hadron Omega-7-7 to begin refining our gear.
