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.

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.
 
Is the game worth it for a friendless player who'll pug? I like deep rock, and it looks purdy interesting.
Pugs will either be 1000 hour vets who flawlessly solos everything or paste eating retards who don't know that they can pick you off the floor. No in between, in my experience (this could just be the Asia Pacific server mind).

I still think the game's fun. Just be prepared to lose a few games even on the easiest difficulty.

Absolutely. The vast majority of my over 200 hours of playtime was done with randoms. I mostly play on heresy or damnation, because they are the perfect mix of sweat and chill for my skills (depending on the class), and it is surprisingly rare to get a disastrous run with drooling morons who do not play the objective and ignore all elites/specials/team members. Even better, I can count on one hand the games where someone has been actively bitching/flaming during the run. The community is one of nicest ones I have experienced and quite often people will participate in banter or even some silly roleplaying during games.
I've played Deeprock Galactic even more than Darktide and would highly recommend either for anyone who likes these type of games. Both are great, but I much prefer DT at the moment because of the superb combat, amazing soundtrack/soundscape and my love of WH40k. It's impressive how much the game has improved since launch. Not so impressive how long it took to get to this point, however, but better late than never.

Also, skitarii has been very fun so far, even with my shit build.

Yeah the amount of asshats in pugs has noticeably decreased over the last year and a half or so. The official dorktide discord on the other hand is a cesspit I'd guess they're gooning in premades there.
