  • Chem-focused tools include throwable toxin canisters and options to coat melee weapons with damaging chemicals.
  • One Combat Ability enables nearby teammates to share the player’s stimm benefits for a brief team-wide buff.
  • The class DLC arrives December 2 on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC for $11.99, with an optional Deluxe/Cosmetic Upgrade pack.
