Are either of the other two dlc characters worth picking up? I've seen a few Arbites, but no Hive Scum since I've been playing again.

Arbites is probably the easiest class to play well. Peak rizz, peak unga bunga. See enemy, bonk enemy, enemy is now on the ground. The only nuance comes down to if you want to use the dog and how effective you want the dog to be. There's a mod (one of several) that can make using the dog a lot less laborious.

I blew all my currency upgrading a galvanic rifle and now I am reminded how fucking SLOW getting currency is, god damn.

The Arbites is a lot of fun, especially if you're a Judge Dredd fan. His shotgun hits like a dump truck, his good doggy is great for keeping Trappers off your ass, and he can be pretty tanky depending on your build.

The Hive Scummer is a glass cannon, but has a rocket launcher that can easily mulch Maulers, Crushers, and just about everything else. He depends heavily on Hit and Run tactics and needs a tank on his team to draw aggro away from him.

I like them both, but your mileage may vary.

The Phosphor Blast pistol also fucks but maybe that's just because I bought mine from Melk.

Pistol has so much going for it. Unique AOE brittleness that stacks with other brittleness effects, some other damage increasing debuff, high base crit chance, the best version of infernus, and enough damage to punch through most specials. Throw two rounds at something, one is all but guaranteed to crit and apply infernus burn, tag em so the skull lights em up and boom it's already at max burn stacks. Probably the most loaded strictly utility ranged weapon in the game.

don't use the plasma gun with the skitarii aimbot it's a terrible combination

Is the game worth it for a friendless player who'll pug? I like deep rock, and it looks purdy interesting.
