#dark tidings (Darktide for people in the searchbar)

bolter is a zealot gun
yeah I really like the veteran for ergonomics with how much reload speed you can ram together
Hmm
Maybe tomorrow we can do some Darktide
Idk about mic though so my apologies
I wouldn’t mind playing with y’all though
I do wish the Mace looked like the Skitarii version
Got around to playing that new mission
It's... fine?
I mean don't get me wrong, it's fun, but I mean
Idk
I was expecting more from how much it was hyped
Yeah, he's nice at least
To be clear I'm not like
Upset or anything
Just have this vague sensation of "...that's it?"
It's a fine mission, the new weapons are nice, but the way they hyped it up you'd think it'd be a lot bigger
Ah well
There's one area that feels underdecorated, that first ice breaking spot
It feels very greybox
The starting bit of the new mission is one of the most dangerous sections in the game.
New shotgun skin's good looking at least
Wish the stock was the same color as the pump but oh well
The wing on the stock looks handsome
It does
I played on starting difficulty to get a feel
I’m sure once I do Heretical with my friend it’ll be a lot rougher
I do love the maul though
Revolver skin's really nice too, though I half wish the barrel was longer
I'm a sucker for longass revolvers that have really boxy, blocky barrels like that
We've had Daemonhosts and Beasts of Nurgle spawn on that first area.
I play exclusively Hi-Int Damnation so my experience on the new map is that lol. It does not pull punches.
Harrowing
Jesus
Oh SHIT
At the same time?
God, it feels like the first area always has a boss spawn
one or the other usually
Is that the psyker weapon
Plague Ogryns are terrifying on that ledge
No, skin for the Stub revolvers
holy shit
When the offenses are the best defenses
What are people running on their Bolt Pistols? I stumbled into Deadly Accurate + Surgical which does huge work on my Veteran and need more plasteel to chase more blessings
i prefer lethal proximity + whatever
because it turns it into a stun machine
deadly accurate by itself is also good on weapon spec
puncture seems interesting
i need to test if the explosion applies the bleed
if so lethal prox + puncture might be the play
Only the direct hit applies it from my testing
I've got puncture 3 and am hype to roll puncture 4 because it's a whole Ogryn heavy melee of bleed on rank 4
but yeah lethal prox + deadly accurate + weapon spec has been powerful in basically every situation
guaranteed critshot to the head
everything nearby is knocked over
Does great work for me, lethal proximity is godly imo
Grab a gun with ass ammo econ and is semi auto
My frame rate is so choppy it’s impossible
I tried the new mission
You might have to play with your settings to fix the FPS issue
It’s the only visual setting I have
My tv isn’t sized right so it cuts off the screen anyways
I did it with the revolver
The stub is too inaccurate for me
...isn't it pinpoint accurate when you aim it?
Or are you talking about the yeehaw edition
Folks have done it with lawbringer shotgun shooting it into crushers
Note crushers
if you shoot at a bulwark it doesn't count
tbh, we cheesed it but IIRC they patched that lol
It's probably pretty doable with bolt pistol or the double barrel in normal play if you aim good
There's a quickdraw revolver
which you can fan the hammer of and has a speedloader
I have that
Also, make sure you don't have the ammo aura and are not in a party with a vet who has the ammo aura
Oh I feel embarrassed
I keep dying because I’m using bolter
As soon as people die everyone leaves
<@&1042950387478560878> anyone up for some runs?
yea
yea
Sweet I’ll boot up
<@&1042950387478560878> anyone want to do some runs?
How do you guys get Plasteel mats? I'm always low on them
Finding them in missions. Generally the higher the difficulty the more stuff (though some people swear by level 4s), and doing quick play gives you a bonus'
5 regularly gives much higher payouts than 4s
Very interesting hotfix today, shooter changes are reverted to be less accurate and "close range" for blessings and the like is now 12.5 meters instead of 8 meters, along with pickaxe tweaks and a flamer direct damage buff
https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/hotfix-42-1-4-2-patch-notes/96810
Hey there Devoted Rejects, Hotfix #42 (1.4.2) is out now on Steam and it will shortly be out on our other platforms. (Note: It takes a little bit of time after the release of the hotfix before the old servers are disconnected and players are migrated over to the new one.) 🙏 Combat Shooters Reverting the following Shooter Changes from the 1.4.0...
very interesting
Quickplay 5s nets 800-900 per run
Oh nice
<@&1042950387478560878> grimdtime?
Holy crap that flamer direct damage buff seems really significant
I can do a mission or two
YEY
Also glad to see the pickaxes getting range buffs, it was really incongruous to have the only two handed weapons have less range than a knife or shovel
I almost feel like they must have been designed by someone new who didn't know the ranges of the other weapons at the time
It's pretty nice, took it for a spin with the Mk2 Crucis Thunder Hammer and it felt real good, still ammo hungry but you can actually blast through Flak and Maniac in a timely manner
Thunder Hammer stun after bonking a person feels less than it did before too - still can't dodge for a hair but it doesn't slow you to a crawl
This skin is so silly it might be hard to spot but there's a candle flame in the sight picture
someone snitched and they removed it
boooooooooooooo
Fixed issue with candle flame blocking line of sight with the Magistratum Bolt Pistol (Blessed) skin. Candle flame effect disabled until we move the candle slightly, it will be reenabled in a later patch.
Fixed an issue related to memory that caused stalls and crashes or disconnects for players (especially those playing with mods).
Ha knew we were crashing more!
We actually managed to not fully crash last night and got a bunch of error messages relating to mods so we went through and did some cleaning/updating
Glad I got a screenshot then it's hilarious
Monstrosity Specialists is serious business these days, they don't let up even in the finale (this was Smelter-36 non-cryo), that was approximately 9 times the normal amount of monstrosity HP I'm used to
Excited about the close range expansion
Iirc the easiest way to get that one is to mag dump shotguns at large targets and don’t have anyone run scavenger
Doesn't the game give you an error message if you don't run scavenger!?
wha
Whadda heck
Moebians are running short on detonators I guess
Is darktide not loading properly for Xbox
It's a dumb joke about how good the talent (still) is
ah ok
It probably was - they just did a hotfix this morning for Xbox related crashing so hopefully your end goes better today

(Note: It takes a little bit of time after the release of the hotfix before the old servers are disconnected and players are migrated over to the new one.) 🙏 Reverted an issue that caused some players on Xbox S / Cloud Ga...
The Darktide source code Github is updated and so are the breakpoint calculators which means I now have an answer to the burning question on the double barrel shotty - whether to use one barrel or two barrels
Both barrels contribute 16 pellets (so a double barrel shot has 32 pellets) and have the same cleave (4.5, enough to hit a rager and a friend), and the double barrel has less minimum pellets per person hit (for lower effective range) and has 25% extra power per pellet
If you think all the pellets are gonna hit, can't go wrong with double the barrels double the fun
It also turns out the bolter and the bolt pistol shoot the same power bullet, who knew a bolt was a bolt
They use the lil guardsman-sized bolter rounds
Space Marines get special big boy versions
Nope
All regular bolters are .75
The space marine versions get integrated targeting, higher RPM and bigger magazines
But are all the same .75 bolt
The heavy bolter and the marksman bolter get 25 mm bolt I think
Oh is that true?
.988 godwyn pattern is also used by space marines
It might depend on what source you're looking at, but a majority of canon material states that Astartes Boltguns do use a larger calibre round
In the old lore yes
The space Marines have access to a bunch of bigger badder bolters
I am aware
Yeah I think they standardized all the regular bolters as .75s
not like a super source requirement kinda place, but do we have material towards one or the other?
and like any idea which is most reasonable?
recent*
The forgeworld that makes magazines with warp portals to hold all those 19mm / 0.75 bolts is a closely guarded secret of the Adeptus Astartes
Looking into it, seems like Patrik is right
Which is a bizarre GW decision but it is what it is, I guess
yeah theres not a lot to be said for how they fit the number of shots into those mags
the mags arent that long
Probably done to explain off human and astartes bolters having the same stats as tabletop
we do have like... normal sergeants able to bring bolters to the table
and bolt pistols see semi frequent use amongst the guard
Maybe the space marines ran out of the those heresy era .95 bolts at some point in the last couple centuries and cawl forgot to keep the information for making em
Which is why he started slapping heavy stubbers on SM vehicles
Wiki also says bolt pistols can fire in three round bursts and based on how the Darktide version jumps around that is a terrifying prospect for a new weapon mark
honestly I feel like astartes could stand to be less special
Fun fact
I believe it
Iirc there was like a "oh there is no spring it's magnetically loaded you see" a while back but I don't know if that was legit
Still doesn't hold 15 fuckin rounds
SMs are a lot faster than ogryns tho
And a whole lot more accurate
I don’t see anything indicating that
Extra rations all around
I think it was with the primaris release?
If so no one’s citing to it anywhere reputable
Seems like another persistent fan myth
The only source I could find was the FFG Rogue Trader core book, which doesn’t have space marine bolters in it
It might be but I can’t find something saying it
Do I have go borrow the damn codex again 
8e codex?
Was 7e or 8e I don't remember which one
I’ll see if I have those
Because from what I remember
Old Warhammer was .75 non SM and .988 were the SM bolguns
But later it was changed to .75 being the standard and .988 being the heavy bolt round.
This is how I remember it, I can ofcourse be wrong but I'd swear my left kneecap that's how it was changed
At a minimum a lot of people think that
So it’s not something I really think can’t be true but I can’t find a good source saying it
Yeah I'm trying to look for it but
Internet search just doesn't cooperate
So I might have to go borrow the codexes into the game store
I think I have some of the space marine codexes from that era or access to them
<@&1042950387478560878> yoyoyo rejects anyone up for some darktide gaming

Those'll get the job done until you get higher base ratings
<@&1042950387478560878> anyone tiding tonight?
can staff psykers nick your ammo? coulda sworn i saw one snatch a dearly needed bag of the stuff right in front of me
No
<@&1042950387478560878> is anyone awake and down to play?
They can only grab ammo packs for later deployment, but they cannot grab regular ammo.
Musta been someone else then
My Darktide install borked and even a full reinstall didn’t fix it.
Apparently the specific problem is so problem is so common there’s an article on Fat Shark’s website.
Weird
Let's goooo
Decided to just not pay attention to this one and was happily surprised for it to pop up complete
Damn
nice work
Okay that fix didn't work. Time to spend another hour downloading the thing again...
Woah
they played extremely fast and got caught out a couple times pushing too far ahead
but were really good lol
Hacker or just really good
just really good I think
They post clips to youtube
and for the last like 4 months they have been using knife, surge staff, and BB
I got Darktide working again with the dumbest fucking fix.
which is not a hacker loadout
Fair
I have a working theory that the less clothes a player wears the more skilled they are
Evidence: Darktide, Elden Ring
After trying everything else, I finally found a random Steam user saying they fixed this error by renaming the file folder in Steam.
That does basically cover all the bases
...fucking love when the connection to the mission times out right near the end
LOVE wasting my goddamn time
Fate gave me a Bolt Pistol with Run 'n' Gun on Psyker and I highly recommend it, it's like playing Quake with a rocket launcher
lol
It turns out Shroudfield on Zealot also applies to ranged critical hit chance and is very very funny with the double barrel shotgun
Yes that it is

<@&1042950387478560878> Who wants to blast folks for a couple matches in about 45 minutes at <t:1720829273:F> and get that plasteel after daily reset?
I’ll be home from work not long after
I could jump in if wanted
Honestly I'd probably be down
Heck yeah, that's a crew
There's a funny interaction with Ogryn Kickback Blaze Away (more power on continuous fire) I need to test more where special meleeing with the gun builds Blaze Away stacks though it seems tough to keep it going into a shot cycle
Encountered Solomon DAvid
Actually my apologies. I am considerably more tired than I thought I was.
Honestly same, getting out of bed hard
This works out all right because I have been struck by spontaneous IRL aggro and might have to do a chore mid mission so I'll try a bit later when things quiet down
It worked, turns out Melk is secretly Khorne
what class is this on?
I got the screen shotted weapon on my Pysker and the double shotty is also available on Zealot and Veteran so it's easy to get rolls, same with the bolt pistol and shock mauls
<@&1042950387478560878> morning darktide?
sure
I'm tied up for about half an hour and can join <t:1720880154:F>
we'll be around then too, we need to eat something for breakfast
thats a sick shorty rifle
pete davidosn lol
@marsh gyro are you ok?
IRL aggro struck, the famous Chaos God
Will report that even though they didn't change nothing but the ammo on the bolter it sure feels nicer to fire on Zealot
<@&1042950387478560878> re tide darkjects?
real cloth gown gridlock moment in a bad way lmao
goth clown
Psyker has a real interesting interaction with double shotgun and true aim (5 weak spot hits guarantees a ranged crit) in that each shot cleave hitting a separate weak spot counts for running up the counter as do melee hits so you can get tons of guaranteed crit procs blasting groups which then sandwiches with scattershot (hit more dudes get more crit) and man-stopper (infinite cleave on crit)
interesting
Still no manstopper
I just finished leveling a zealot to 20 and now I'm gonna play my psyker for plasteel
Then I'm gonna roll a bunch of 220-260 shotguns at hadrons
I'm working on leveling an Ogryn right now and this is fun as hell.
However the Rumbler sucks.
The rumbler is very weird because it does huge AOE damage right next to the boom and the rest of the radius is knockback and also it does like 1000 damage on direct hit so for big dudes you want to bonk them in the head with the grenade
It gets much better vs huge dudes when you get the sticky nade blessing
yeah for picking off individual shooters it feels kinda bad, you need to push during the big knockdown and play offensively
Nuh uh
It deletes heavies and bosses once you get the sticky blessing, yeah
I still like the Kickback, more than all the ripper guns really
Nothing's more satisfying then turning a big mob into a red mist
It takes ten billion years for the grenades to go off.
I like the rock.
I've been running Frags on my stealth build since forever
Though I will say the new shotgun pairs hilariously well with said build
They're pretty great, they're rechargable Psyker bubbles now they work as advertised
<@&1042950387478560878> wowweee darktide time
sure
7/10 Klonk
ive gone in big circles with the rippers, and am generally a big fan rn
10/10 and 10/10 (umie also gets 10/10 for bein fren)
my favorite silly build right now is "15 marksman stacks shout shotgun veteran" both because it's fun to say and because it's kind of wild to shoot and scoot
Double Shotgun Psyker is #2 because it works great with left, right, and middle trees and blitzes alike - each pellet counts for the free brain burst 10% proc for example

Grab speedloader 4, run n' gun will show up again easy
Was this a shock Gauntlet because that's a lot of ragers and gunners
My Ogryn is named Horg and his facial tattoos look like he got skeleton teeth tattooed on, but in reality he ate a marker and it just Did That.

I am immensely pleased that they added voice lines to that
I'm getting a new computer soon (tomorrow) would anyone be free to help me break it in with some Darktide tomorrow evening? <@&1042950387478560878>
we'll be around
Depends, what time zone?
Friday night Darktide is a great time for RTX flamethrowers
eastern us
Then I should be around.
@cyan depot let us know when you're free!
Heyo Everyone, Earlier this month, we released an Introduction to Itemization dev blog. After sharing the first looks of Itemization, we got a lot of messages from players. We collected over 13 pages of feedback, questions and concerns. As promised, we’re following up on them. While we cannot answer all of those questions yet, as some things ar...
Itemization dev blog
Might be a bit! I need to get stuff installed
I'm going to need so much diamantine after the update where any weapon can eventually become a 380
Are they changing how weaponsxz work?
adding another layer that provides limited rng mitigation via grinding
Yeah the question and answer linked above talks about how RNG weapons still drop for power spikes and if you want to target farm a thing or craft up a weapon big you can do that over time
<@&1042950387478560878> I am finally good to go haha

You ever encounter somebody who gets very excessively and vocally pissy when you use smoke grenades?
Because that happened last night
They were a Kriegaboo too. Go figure.
At which point the only thing to do is to toggle off their voice in the social tab, and continue to smoke 'em as you got 'em
This was especially funny because the smoke was pretty much only going out on Gunner Swarms, and they were playing a Sharpshooter
Like...You'd think that smoke + you pressing F once in a while would be an excellent combo
The smokes are incredible now too, they actually work on Gunners and Snipers
I've been sleeping on them pretty much since they dropped, but now yeah. They're actually pretty good.
They're great for buying time when you get rushed by a horde
Or everyone is close range and there's a shooting gallery setup on you.
I know they prevent things like Crushers and Maulers from doing the wind-up attacks on you
They won't attack into the smoke if they're outside of it
It also fucks over trappers
You know the whole "stand behind the horde and net you" thing they do? Standing in smoke shuts that down
They need LoS to net you so if you're in smoke they can't until they're on top of you.
Same thing for dogs
A grenade the shuts down the two most dangerous specials is so strong
Honestly so glad for the penance for them forcing me to use them and really see what they do
same, tbh
once we're done with armorbane we'll probably hop back to smokes for most of our general specialist shoot&scoot builds we have

@tulip dirge https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor Here's that build planner
@twin wasp you may return
just got back where people
Fell apart oops
well well gnight then
I was today years old when I learned you can give consumables to your teammates by pressing the special attack button
Which is embarassing as I'm at 820 hours
my favorite way to give @twilit cradle ammo box
top 10 anime crossovers
Yeah that's a really good Mk 4
Anyone else like to theme each costume choice? I tend to hem and haw over different looks to convey the builds I'm working with.
just 20 kills away,,,, only 20 kills
Plasma gun keeps winning for that one
nah, we've been using infiltrator revolver vet
Fun revolver fact is it shoots literally bigger bullets than other guns
Other hitscan guns shoot points and the revolver shoots spheres with 0.1m radius
LMAO?
Shockingly enough the bolt and bolt pistol don't shoot the baseball bullets
Bolt pistol and bolter do get to penetrate 0.75m of cover (compared to 1.2m on uncharged plasma and 2m on charged plasma) so that's fun
finally 
how has the accatran been looking after the changes
free shots on crit is keepimg strong on vet
I average about 5000 shots fired per match, it's very nice
its ttk felt pretty middling even with an almost god-roll (infernus iii instead of iv) especially given how fast you blew through reserves
so I've always been a bit iffy on it
that's good to hear though
Veteran shock trooper talent for free shot on crit adds about 25% ammo efficiency if you run headhunter blessing
yeah that's my roll
Mk7 is slow enough it wants dumdum and speedload, Mk2 and Mk6 want headhunter and any damage blessing
Mk6 has a staggering 20 rounds per second that goes up to 26.67 if you get 10 melee kills on right side vet for a casual 1600 RPM
I ran the mk6 specfically because it went brrrrrrt as fast as possible
It's super nice both on Psyker and Vet these days yeah
They didn't really improve bloom recovery so if you go full brrrt on the mk6 from the hip it gets super wide because of the ROF buffs so Mk2 has a niche it's steady as a rock
a part of me really misses the Yellow Vision + lasgun meta except I want to run a full-auto option since the mod keeps breaking with every patch
so if the accatran is back to viability in that niche I'm a happy camper
Yeah it's competitive with the autoguns - autoguns have better burst and maniac damage, accatrans are super steady ADS and from the hip
yeaG
trying out the slow recon
pretty solid
i miss options for dealing with armor though
chaxe is not the greatest
Mk12 chainsword might be a gas since it's a little faster
Let there be plasteel
If by 10-15 you mean an hour and a half yea
Dang the Mk6 knife is pretty cool
it's good
its big swipe is very useful with,,,,, ah, what'sitcalled
knockout punch?
something like that
Makin' hay
haymaker! that's the bitch
you can hit 5 or 4 people per attack, and heavies wind up, just, like, instantly, so you basically always have a 1/5(?) chance of just outright killing someone
7/15 no down missions
8
Turns out vet shout and left side super headshots is pretty cool
we'll still be hanging around but we're really just gonna be doing chill low intensity missions while we try to get this
oh, yea, we had a mission earlier where literally everyone managed to get a special munition thingamajig at once
Oh nooo
we were holding a cryo rod and just got swarmed by a bunch of little guys before we could do anything

I think you actually sprint slower with that than walking
I feel like I need a better anti-armor melee on veteran
well okay
I need one that isn't The Power Sword
if only for variety's sake
Have you tried the new shovels?
The spike dunk is real good
that's a good point yeah
Combat axes like the Rashad are actually pretty solid all-rounders doing about 1000 damage per heavy weak spot hit, goes good with brutal momentum and headtaker or Shred
Chain axe and chainsword work in a pinch too for 1v1s
Rev it up is a super cool blessing

It turns out the new event mission type "terror in the dark" has the lights out modifier and a ||Karnak twin encounter|| to keep you on your toes, so it's clean fun
Well the ending cutscene for the special mission has one of their fingers twitch
i mean also they're nurgleites
nurgle fuckers ain't dead until you burn the corpse
<@&1042950387478560878> we wanna kill people
I gotta prep for a Lancer session otherwise I'd be bringing a torch
Good news is the event rewards shower you in goodies
||Do they say anything unique?||
I'd be down
There's cultist babble over the comms during the mission
mhm

friends > add a friend > your friend code > copy

whatever works with you
we'd like it, but we're also probably going to be taking a bit of a brain break
no, we'd prefer vc, sorry
just been co-fronting too long, might not be as proficient communicating well
we have a custom channel set up
our internet died, sorry
<@&1042950387478560878> Does anyone want to darktide?
No problem!
So is there another update being primed for next week?
Probably another hotfix, the last one they did mentioned they're working on the blessing tooltip and maelstrom issues

I suppose I have to play other classes now
lol
cant wait to play darktide versus in 2030!
It'll show up in 030.M42 of course
<@&1042950387478560878> Alright, we need to level our Zealot I guess. Anyone want to help?
kk!
ETA??
booting up now
lool
Zealot leveling along
Got a decent Revolver and Eviscerator which are working fine
We want to play with other options, but a lot of the really good stuff (cough heavy swords cough) need proper rolls and stuff to function
I'm a big fan of Devil's Claw charge zealot
Like, a heavy sword with a damage stat of 45 isn't going to work
I'm personally partial to shovel sharpshooter.
We have played 400 hours of Vet
We finally ran out of things to do
so we're branching out
Man I Love Martyr
We decided on the last game of the day to do proper achievement hunting
Hab Dryko Hi-Int Damnation at level 28 is when you're supposed to get this one right?
That's a lot of stabbing
Also, I love the bolt pistol. I should team up with you folks and try higher difficulties, since I'm normally at 3.
Or do I sit at 4? Either way, 5 is hard for me.
It takes time to build up the flow of a 5, it's perfectly fine to do 4s to get the feel for it because numbers wise a 4 is about 50% more than a 3 and a 5 is 50% more than a 4
Bolt pistol is a great generalist pick all the way up the threat chain
I think my "no frills no messabout" loadout is a Lucius... II or III. and a shovel.
once you get into the flow of it (and have a good friend team to back you up) its honestly the most fun part of the game
playing on lower difficulties at this point is a snoozefest for me
an important thing to get used to is that breakpoints are higher on 5's
as clem said
Breakpoints are just arcane nonsense to me. 
just make sure your damage is good enough :P
oh! other important thing to note
enemies hit hard especially the groaners/poxwalkers
on lower difficulties theyll just tickle you
but if you let the chaff hit you on high difficulties they will wreck your shit
you really do not want to ignore them; they are a threat
yeah, a habit i had to unlearn from lower difficulties is that on malice down, you can theoretically slash your way through to thin crowds
mhm, you need to know how to dodge/block your way through a crowd
but on heresy up, you actually have to push them away, kite them, or use other cc
lightning psyker is Invaluable
weeeeeeeeeeeell with the right weapon you can still just go ham
Whereas I do the E-tool tapdance. :3
heavy sword blazing piety zealot for example can still just slash your way through
but you need to know what the right weapon means
its so much fun mulching through a horde like that
and also be able to quickly identify when bigger threats have become mixed into the horde and clear them
you do not want to get caught out by a sudden attack of the ragers
Rager packs are deadly on high difficulties
And they're on of the reasons that the Plasma Gun is just utterly broekn
the ability to mag dump into a super dense crowd of enemies including a knot of deadly melee elites is ridiculously powerful on Damnation+
oh yea <@&1042950387478560878> dark type video james?
In like hour yea
k
<@&1042950387478560878> but what about second darktide ping?
dark time viedo jame
😭
WE ALL FELL OFF THE SAME LEDGE AND WHEN TREY CAME TO SAVE US HE GOT GANKED BY LINDA
17 and bawls fell off while runniing the same way, i fell off trying to go save them and then linda showed up
I feel like my weapons are a bit on the weak side how do i get better one ?
Look for base power levels off 350+ for now and once you’re there go for 370+ having higher ranked gear increases chances of getting more higher rank gear
If you're getting bases from Brunt they'll go from 300 to 380 and in my anecdotal experience it's an even distribution so you have about a 40% chance of 350 or better
Higher ranked bases also make it more likely to get level 3 and 4 blessings when going to blue and orange and it's more likely to get a 4 when orange-ing
Melk stuff has a pretty good probability of rank 4 blessings so feel free to check the Melk shop since a bunch of them have bases under 350 and are safe to mulch for the blessing
do i get them from the requisition or the armory (the randome one) ?
Armory still follows the 300 to 380 distribution, it just also has greens and blues and it's much rarer in the armory to see a blue without a level 1 or 2 blessing (it's like a 1% chance of a level 3 and level 4s won't appear)
Relics IIRC at level 30 go from 65-80 base power and the ones to look for are 76 and up
and then i go to hadron to level them up in raririty and add blessing and such ?
Yeah you got the right idea - it's about 1500 plasteel and 400 diamantine to go from grey to orange
Ok thanks
Also, you can get a mod that will bulk but then cull weapons for you based on their rating.
Super handy
now wich weapon to focus on, i hesitate between the different assault shotgun
They're all really good at their niches, the special ammos are each useful
I'm a fan of the flame-bleed build
It's not great, but there is something nice about shooting a fire shell into a horde, seeing the crit, and knowing it's handled
Blurn also goes good on Ripper gun Ogryn, interestingly enough
Also, I guess the question is what class are you playing and what build?
Each shotgun has a niche, but Zealot and Vet prefer some over the others because of those niches
Quick question, are you level 30 on the character? You get better base power drops at level 30
Yes my zealot is 30, i still need to level up my other character
Ah good, sadly you just need to brute force high base stat weapons
Hopefully the itemization update will alleviate that
Yeah being able to upgrade base power on weapons to 380 with diamantine will be a big boon
Oh is that gonna be possible?
I haven't been paying much attention to the update except that its coming out
My understanding is the base roll will still be important
you will be able to upgrade to an extent
but it's not going to be mean you can just ignore it
It will, however, let you ignore Hadron upgrade RNG
That sounds nice
I find fully optimizing weapons really tedious
I fully optimized 1 weapon and just stopped lol
This dev blog talks about it with a UI mockup, basically if a thing drops under 380 you can upgrade it and what the max random rolls are are visualized so you can see if you want to upgrade the base

Heyo Everyone, Earlier this month, we released an Introduction to Itemization dev blog. After sharing the first looks of Itemization, we got a lot of messages from players. We collected over 13 pages of feedback, questions and concerns. As promised, we’re following up on them. While we cannot answer all of those questions yet, as some things ar...
So the bases still have variance on their stat caps like which ones have high mobility or collateral or what have you
interesting
I am very happy with that Voidstrike though
<@&1042950387478560878> dark type warm ham or fork e thousand
