[thin nebula]

ok, that's what confused me, gotcha

[woeful otter]

I think they're both spades, BTW.

[north axle]

one is a hovel the other is a latrine shovel, obviously a very important distinction

[sour depot]

For comparison

[thin nebula]

the poop shovel is serrated....

[hollow flare]

i know which one i'd rather get hit by

[smoky ferry]

Ogryn take hard poops

[woeful otter]

In case something wants to climb out of the pit, I guess?

[sour depot]

Deal poison dmg😂

[hollow flare]

then again ... im not a cultist of nurgle so theres that

[woeful otter]

heals nurgle...

[sour depot]

Wait, that's illegal

[hollow flare]

not in the 41st millenium

[gilded pond]

Since unlocking the Power Sword, I am no longer Sharpshooter, I am Sharpsworder

[sour depot]

New subclass confirmed

[rigid wasp]

bruh they must have taken espionage and investigation back out of the pool

Anyone seen one of those two recently?

[sour depot]

I played inve yesterday

[rigid wasp]

I mean today

I played investi earlier today and now it's nowhere to be seen all night

same for espionage

[sour depot]

I mean, its 6 AM for me soo...

[tranquil grove]

Is there a way to fix how quiet voice chat volume is?

[stray arrow]

ok as psyker i got 6/7 misson types done how do i get the 7th

[crystal wave]

What counts as a Maniac?

[sour depot]

Rager

[thin nebula]

ragers

[stray arrow]

ok as psyker i got 6/7 misson types done how do i get the 7th

[tranquil grove]

You wait patiently :)

[hollow flare]

i just put everything on 50% and kept voice volume on 100%

[stray arrow]

that type of misson is the 7tth so i see it

[rigid wasp]

beat weapon for zealot?

[woeful otter]

Same as VT for the voice.

[tranquil grove]

whichever one you havent done

[terse pond]

are there currently 7 mission types in the rotation?

[tranquil grove]

no

[raven aspen]

not sure about slab shield. any pro tipes? (feel free to dm)

[stray arrow]

well then im fked

[safe verge]

finished and picked up 3 scriptures but they didnt count towards contract

[tranquil grove]

There will be I think either on the 28th or on release

[rigid wasp]

lies

Literally earlier today there was all 7 in rotation

[grave heart]

anyone know what the shotgun special ammo does?

[terse pond]

wonder which one i havent done

[tranquil grove]

not at the same time

[terse pond]

changes the spread pattern

for 1 shot

shoot a wall to see iot

[grave heart]

huh

[thin nebula]

it's pretty trash, it does bigger knockback but less damage

[tranquil grove]

It seems like every day at 4 am they swap one out for another. Like how the dust map came back suddenly

[grave heart]

was hoping it was a piercing slug

[rigid wasp]

No dude I'm tellin ya

all 7 were in rotation today

I did all of them

[jagged vigil]

are mission types bugged somehow? I don't think I ever saw Disruption mission on my Psyker

[past sierra]

They were removed. They're back in rotation now.

[rigid wasp]

^ yeah all 7 are back

[arctic kelp]

Do higher tier missions spawn more crafting material?

[thin nebula]

yes

[mental relic]

maybe

[delicate halo]

Just play and finish any new missions you haven't seen and you will get it. All of the mission types have been available. Maybe not right now but they will pop up again if you play daily.

[zealous pawn]

yea you get a shit ton in damnation

[mental relic]

[arctic kelp]

Y'think it's worth grinding out the really hard ones? ;3;

[zealous pawn]

to the point where u can run a damn for like 8mins fail and get more than a full3.

[arctic kelp]

gasp hello!

An schootybatte!

[stray arrow]

i have done assatination strike repair raid. for sure idk what the othera are

[arctic kelp]

oah okay! thank you!

[bright relic]

What are some Curios I should use for Psyker?

[desert mirage]

Is it just me or is brain burst just really clunky? It's really good damage but even against minibosses it seems just shooting them is faster than waiting the lifetime it takes to charge.

does it get faster with levelups?

[quasi pelican]

So are there any major gameplay things that'll be added in the full release? More guns, more story, etc?

[scarlet wigeon]

Depends on the mission. If your doing grimoires Id recommend taking extra wounds

[bright relic]

What about just casual runs then?

[quasi pelican]

Or is it mainly like what we have now but with the addition of all the fixes in the beta?

[past sierra]

I'm only using it for heavily armored units or units that my team is having or going to have a hard time killing.

[remote gust]

BB is less useful the harder the mission is imo, it's just too slow.

[scarlet wigeon]

Depends on your playstyle too. If you need to peak to BB you might want more toughness

[full loom]

damij

[hollow flare]

that damage though

[past sierra]

I played a Vigil Station today so yes.

[stray arrow]

thats the one i havent done

is it back?

[willow raven]

So do we not actually get weapons when we complete missions? We get money to buy weapons.

[delicate halo]

You can get an emperor's gift

[bold saffron]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/222418309142806529/1046295458575810590/unknown.png

[peak valve]

Okay so I retract an earlier comment about the recon las gun not being good. I got a brand new one that's leveled up to match me and it's pretty good

The catch is I just unlocked the bolter so...

[bold saffron]

Recon Las is a keeper

use your recon for Dark Darktide

Bolter for most other things

[long citrus]

Are there a different Mk ver for Thunder Hammer, aside from Mk2?

[hollow flare]

pff

[weak obsidian]

can someone help me with a penance?

[hollow flare]

just headshot stuff with the bolter in the dark like a real guardsman

[bold saffron]

yeah i prefer too see

[hollow flare]

you dont need eyes where we are going

[bold saffron]

sounds like heresy to me

[stoic heath]

on a vet crits build, a charged shot from this does enough damage to one tap every-non boss enemy in the game that isnt an ogryn on damnnation

im in heaven

[delicate halo]

On T4 and T5 BB starts to feel better. Depending on what's happening you can combine Kinetic Barrage with BB to take out some high priority specials. Kinetic Barrage is super quick burst to a lot of targets.

[bold saffron]

Sounds about right just wish its melee attack wasn't SHIT

the first 2 are better at melee by far

[stoic heath]

thats why I have a good powersword lol

[rigid wasp]

Anyone make a guide for status effects and buffs?? Like stuff they don't say in game

[delicate halo]

oh I meant to reply to you here - On T4 and T5 BB starts to feel better. Depending on what's happening you can combine Kinetic Barrage with BB to take out some high priority specials. Kinetic Barrage is super quick burst to a lot of targets.

It really depends on what your team is running too

[hollow flare]

i raise you this
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1970917173734674054/2EB81363980AAF5637360C49B0092C0AAD844F93/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

no need to charge

[stoic heath]

I never said a god bolter wasnt better lol

[upper jacinth]

wheres zealot?

[snow girder]

I will soon throw myself from balcony, this "On Overwatch" makes me mad!

[pastel fern]

what is "rending" ?

[hollow flare]

armor pen

[bold saffron]

Still trying to beat the marksmans Melee kill count

[pastel fern]

so, what is +3 Rending means ?

[snow girder]

nobody knows 😄

[hollow flare]

dunno to what +3 exactly equates to but it increases your penetration vs armoured targets

[pastel fern]

are u shure ?

[half prairie]

does stepping off a ledge and hanging count as invalidating "flawless execution" (10 missions on malice or higher with no going down)

[hollow flare]

like 80% at least

[thin nebula]

getting pinned by dog does not

[hollow flare]

would getting netted do?

[half prairie]

i know that @thin nebula

[bold saffron]

well +3 rending on a Plasma gun

[half prairie]

i mean hanging off a ledge because i took a wrong step

[thin nebula]

as long as you don't lose the HP I think you're good

so im guessing the ledge is the same

like, if you take a wound

[stoic heath]

im just really happy cuz I have my first high difficulty viable ranged weapon

[weak obsidian]

heresy difficulty, anyone?

[sour depot]

Maybe try LFG

[nocturne vigil]

I keep trying to consecrate an item but im getting an error

[tight cedar]

for difficulty 3 you can get away with 200, for difficulty 4 id recommend 300+ and for 5 400+

[rocky sierra]

Anyone know the best tier 2 perk on a mastercrafted bolter atm?

[outer bloom]

Does anyone elase feel like the power cut enviormental effect is a bit punishing?

[rocky sierra]

I mainly only see glory hunter

[outer bloom]

At least playing it as a zealot

[rocky sierra]

Just play with a vet that is using bio-optic targeting

[outer bloom]

It's atmospheric as fuck but holy crap also I can't see.

[austere epoch]

Ok boys and girls, here's a conundrum. According to the Meat grinder, the green XII is capable of four tapping a reaper in the face, whereas the blue requires 5-6 headshots. Against maulers the green can kill in 5 body shots but the blue takes 6. The green One taps gunners, ragers, flamers, etc, but the blue takes at least 2. I really dont understand how. Can anyone offer any insight? I get the perks are def, but a 20% damage bump against flak armor targets should mean the its more capable against maulers, however, according to testing, the green is more capable. Can anyone shed light on this?

[rocky sierra]

Elite dmg is bugged. That 6% is 60.

[blissful flower]

Try Ogryn where you literally don't have a Flashlight on any weapon

[outer bloom]

Heresy.

Yeah I don't have a decent lasgun so I'm in that boat

[blissful flower]

I personally like it cus it forces you to move away from the standard armaments and play around the darkness with flashlight-enabled weaponry

[austere epoch]

@rocky sierra holy crap are you serious?

[rocky sierra]

[nocturne vigil]

any advice on a fix for this

[outer bloom]

It's hilarious that the flashlight is restricted to lasguns

deep cut

[rocky sierra]

Meanwhile still using bolter cause funny boom

[sour depot]

Chainsword with flashlight when?

[blissful flower]

+8% Elite Damage isn't actually a +8, it's more like +80%

At the very least, a Zealot with a light can point out enemies for Bolters/Plasma/Psykers to nuke in the dark

[mild summit]

Does anyone have any tips on how to get Heavyweight Champion for Ogryn?

[rigid wasp]

ok yeah I'm convinced they took espionage and invest back down

[floral quail]

Damnation endless hordes. Get reasonably lucky with spawns and use the 30 feat that doesn't get cockblocked by Ogryns

[wary jolt]

not sure if this is the right spot to ask this but has anyone had Darktide blue screen their pc and is there any sort of fix/work around?

[floral quail]

I did it accidentally on Smelter right at the beginning in the tunnels under the area before the entrance

[wary jolt]

wait you blue screened on smelter?

[floral quail]

Sorry, was referring to Heavyweight Champion penance

Haven't blue screened though, could be anything

[peak crag]

Do same class auras stack?

[floral quail]

Too much CPU or RAM usage could cause a BSOD

[wary jolt]

thing is i just restarted my pc with almost nothin running

[scarlet wigeon]

Do you know about ram timings? are yours set correctly? a darktide use alot of ram, and if the timings are incorrect it would bsod after sometrime

[mild summit]

Yeah. Gonna have to get to level 30 if I want that big feat.

[wary jolt]

i have my ram timings at default

[scarlet wigeon]

The bios might set them incorrectly to what your ram actually wants. Id look up your ram timings and then look at what your bios as set them to

[jagged vigil]

yay, just got my Psyker hood, cliffhanger was annoying to get

[scarlet wigeon]

I had this issue after reinstalling some new ram few days ago and this fixed it

[wary jolt]

ive never touched my ram in the 2 years ive had this pc and nver had problems with games.....darktide is the only one im having issues

[scarlet wigeon]

again the games might not use as much. I mean you can give me push back if you want, but whats the harm and looking and trying?

[wary jolt]

yea no ....im not touchin my ram timings and potentially brick my pc

[jagged vigil]

any advices on "Warp battery" and "Going out with a bang" penances?

[floral quail]

Not a bad idea tbh

[thin nebula]

ram is probably the easiest thing to replace

[rigid wasp]

What is good perks for curio for zealot

[stray arrow]

i just tries 3 games in a row to get cliffhanger for psyker and i got 2 kills further thats fking it fk this im done trying to do penances

[hard goblet]

I hate this fucking Veteran 100% accuracy/no ammo remaining penance punishing veteran for existing if you don't want to cheese it.

[bright relic]

I swear they get launched like 20 feet when I do it randomly, but as soon I try that Penance, it get pushed like 2 inches

[versed lance]

is that 0% a bug?

[tender kelp]

is consecrating disabled rn?

[stray arrow]

yeah and i must have launched at least 50 mfers of ledges and at least 20 killed within the time limit wtf

[scarlet wigeon]

What weapon is this blessing on?

[versed lance]

force sword

[tender kelp]

for some reason it wont let me and I've restarted my game twice

[scarlet wigeon]

Hammers are broken right now

[thin nebula]

I had that issue last night, on the same weapon as well.

[tender kelp]

thats so sad

[unreal aurora]

Bug from the looks of it, probaly be fixed by full release

[tender kelp]

i just missed 1 that was super good in the shop and i was like "o well ill just uprade this 1 anyways" now im dead inside

[thin nebula]

You will get more hammers, don't worry

[unreal aurora]

Its a bug

Friend was telling me that he couldnt upgrade blues either

[tender kelp]

woe is me

[torn isle]

I couldnt hop in til now. Lights out events are all gone. Is the daemon host thing gone now?

[scarlet wigeon]

So close to the abyss

[stray arrow]

this cliffhanger penance is really grinding my balls through a meat grinder

[azure cove]

Did they fix the alt-f4 cheese for penances? I was told to get the no-melee taken for sharpshooter on malice to just f4 before extraction. But I did but I didn't come back to a 'reconnect to game'. No progress T_T

[feral gust]

Has anyone done Darkness without a Flashlight(and relied on a teammate's rifle? .. deliberately)
Would you do it again?

[weak marlin]

thats because you'd break the puny little thing whenever you used your gun as a blunt force instrument

[weary sapphire]

Just turn your internet off for a sex

No need to restart the entire client

[stray arrow]

sec

[azure cove]

Don't think I can sprint to the modem fast enough

Not savvy enough for that otherwise

[north wolf]

So, for psyker 25, I see a lot of buzz around Kinetic Flayer (25 chance to headpop on any attack) which is great for keeping up stacks, but it seems very rng heavy to actually be useful. I wonder if Kinetic overload might be a good idea? Just go into a match and alternate between spamming headpop and pressing R to apply dmg to elites?

[slow fog]

Nah, talent is listed incorrectly. It's 5%

I dont rate it

[north wolf]

Specially with the 30 talent ascendant blaze, I feel like you could do a lot of damage with dots.

[rugged wigeon]

This decent?

[slow fog]

Oh yeah that talent rules

[north wolf]

Yeah, but what about the level 25 choices?

[slow fog]

I take the 4% for kills by you and cohesion friends

[rugged wigeon]

Not sure if I should buy this launcher.

[north wolf]

That's the level 15 talent. I take that as well.

[slow fog]

Not exactly reliable, still quite good

Oh I take the 6 warp charges

Its kind of the only real choice at the mo IMO

The small soulfire is way too situational

And not that strong

6 stacks on the other hand means that when you use the level 30 soulfire F, it will kill some elites

As well as every mook in front of you

[tawdry sandal]

is there any best way to level? im tryna get to trust 20 to get the bolter

[rugged wigeon]

Spam 2s

[slow fog]

Honestly I think 1s are faster than 2s

[pastel fern]

What is "Impact"?

[slow fog]

2s only give 100 more xp

[rugged wigeon]

Stagger

[azure cove]

Spam 1's for quickest runs

[tawdry sandal]

ok

[slow fog]

Yeah its basically 1s until you are good enough/high level enough for 3s

[azure cove]

Personally I'd save queueing 3's until you're like 20-25. Could be lower if you're like, good, but the difficulty spike is huge between 2 and 3

Open a door oh hi, three bulwarks cool.

[slow fog]

Yeah I typically recommend 15 for 3s minimum if its your first character

[ocean flower]

is it just me, or are there only 7 types of dreg? with the missing one being a specialist?

[solemn drift]

I'm trying to do my weeklys (scriptures + grimiores), but even though I pick them up and successfully complete the mission the progress bar doesnt change. Is this a bug or something ?

[slow fog]

Last one might not be released yet

[scarlet torrent]

Does anyone know if Psyker's flame staff inflict soulblaze?

[north wolf]

But, it has synergy with ascendant blaze as well. And if you can't reach the special enemy, headpopping 2 regular mobs also kills specials on malice. It seems like an interesting choice.

[storm laurel]

melee
ranged
flamer
gunner
shotgunner
rager
mutant

[slow fog]

Yeah I suppose. The 6 stacks seems a lot better to me, but thats just my opinion

[ocean flower]

2's can also roll modifiers, which (to my knowledge) 1s can't. i think endless hordes 2 is still easier than a baseline 3, and gives significantly better rewards than a 1

[storm laurel]

maybe it counts bulwark as dreg

[slow fog]

Yeah thats a good point

[north wolf]

It's hard to say. Because obviously, headpopping the specials directly is usually better.

[haughty radish]

how the hell do you deal with the dogs man, they are so tanky, hard to hit with the wonkiest hit boxes ever. I cannot dodge them for the life of me

[north wolf]

Plus: the middle talent might go bonkers in hordes.

[ocean flower]

if you get good timing, you can shove them out of their leap

other than that, if you can't dodge em, then you hope that your teammates have your back

they take more melee damage than ranged

[thin nebula]

grenaaaaade

[true dome]

A weapon with a high mobility or defense stat will help with dodging them too. Makes you dodge further and faster

[fossil quest]

i think they got a patch and are being worked on (i hope) cose there doing some very strange stuff, and yeah there nearly imposible to hit when they are clos and lock on atm

best to just doge at the last moment

[haughty radish]

they were not as hard in the closed beta it feels

[ocean flower]

tangentially related, i've been having a grand ol time with the Antax Mk V. anyone know how it holds up in higher difficulties?

[ripe hazel]

Anyone else having missions just not progress at all?

[cedar mason]

is this worth the buy?

[thin nebula]

but not near a wall, because then they turn into pinballs and land on top of you anyways

[ocean flower]

Melk Money or Mission Money?

[rich smelt]

Still don't know if bleeding is the best thing for slow weapons like Eviscerator

[thin nebula]

no x2

[true dome]

Lucius pattern is quite slow firing and tricky to get the hang of, do you like the pattern?

[cedar mason]

the challenge money

[ocean flower]

nah, save it

[thin nebula]

definitely do not

[ocean flower]

you want to wait 'til you're 30 before you buy from melk

[slender juniper]

hey guys, best map to get cliffhanger on?

[ocean flower]

otherwise, you're gonna have to cycle whatever you bought out anyways, and then you've just wasted a difficult to earn weekly currency

[cedar mason]

okie doke

[true dome]

I feel like the special attack on the eviscerator in particular is such high damage 2 stacks of bleed is basically nothing by comparison

[fossil quest]

i would say Espionage, its not in rotation atm

[slender juniper]

bruhh

[scarlet wigeon]

What does ignore enemy hit mass mean?

[fossil quest]

big dude attacked with little weapon, little dude attacked with big weapon. but the weapon is the same size. it probaly something todo with stagger more than anything

[true dome]

I was lucky to get an eviscerator with um. "+100% cleave for 2s on multiple hits" that's been incredible

[scarlet torrent]

did it on the Chasm Station raid map with premades, in the beginning theres a really thin bridge where ur mates can stack enemies and u just come from the side

[slender juniper]

nice o:

[split kayak]

yep that is the best one to do it on

[scarlet torrent]

sent you a link

[ocean flower]

when you hit an enemy, if they are Chonky, your weapon will stop on just them. ignoring enemy mass essentially improves your cleave potential

[true dome]

So when you hit an enemy with a swing, each enemy has a "mass" which contributes to the formula that checks whether your weapon keeps going or stops on that enemy. I assume ignoring them means your weapon just keeps going? Maybe there's a flat stopping factor as well as enemy mass

[scarlet wigeon]

Thanks guys

[fossil quest]

cleave is another component may or may not be part of hit mass?

[true dome]

Yeah so in vermintide 2 essentially cleave was a number X, and you kept going until you had hit at least X mass of enemies (more or less)

I think it's similar in darktide, but we don't have the same modding tools ATM to do good testing and prove data easily

[oak palm]

Is Mystery Aquisition Worth it???

[scarlet torrent]

no

[thin nebula]

probably not

[scarlet torrent]

dont know what to buy? save up untill you see a personal must have

[thin nebula]

yep

[true dome]

I like mystery acquisition curios, because they are way more likely to be useful. For a mystery weapon to be good it has to be both a good weapon and good stats. Whereas a mystery curio is always the right type, a curio

But in general I agree on just saving as well. It's not easy to come by those tokens

[feral gust]

feels like Autoguns are the least popular weapon aruond.

[jagged vigil]

yep

[stray arrow]

this cliffhange penace is hell

i have knocked off easily 50 or more fkers and i dont have it

[wanton estuary]

i have a contract to pickup 12 scriptures, and i didn't get credit for any of the 3 that i just completed a mission with

[stray arrow]

tried to used the bridge and my team cant fking read

fk

[oak palm]

where is my chatbox??

Where has it gone?

[stray arrow]

u must have the same problem as my teamates who cant read

[wanton estuary]

lol

this would indeed explain a lot

[oak palm]

even when i press enter

nothin

[stray arrow]

can anyone give me tips on the cliffhanger penance

[tight cedar]

yeah the majority of them are pretty bad, running the agripinaa mk1 atm and its insanely good though

[brazen obsidian]

toughness feels useless in Tier4-5 missions

[true dome]

I feel like the bridge st the end of the mission where you have to stuff ammo in the valkyrie would be a good spot. The enemy horde keeps coming until you leave the level so with a little coordination you ought to be able to stack up some bodies.

Disclaimer, I don't have the penance, so don't have any actual experience to provide you, only theory

[slow fog]

I wish theyd bring back QP bonus

[stray arrow]

can anyone give me tips on the cliffhanger penance

[haughty radish]

do penances still count if you fill a mission

[tight shale]

Depends on the penance.

[stray arrow]

can anyone give me tips on the cliffhanger penance

[tight shale]

If it requires you to complete a mission? No. If it requires you to do a certain action during the mission, like specific kills? Yes

[stray arrow]

can anyone give me tips on the cliffhanger penance

[tight shale]

Spamming will not help.

[stray arrow]

that usually seems to be the only way to get a response even if it dosent help

[ocean osprey]

someone answered that though

#gameplay-help message

[old sonnet]

There are a lot of bridges you can use to push off hordes of enemies. Basically convince 3 other people to play along with you, go until you trigger a horde, kite them to a bridge and once they gather push them

Now pls stop asking

[sour depot]

Is it possible to get purple/orange Item in normal shop?

[tawdry vortex]

Yea seen purples and I’m sure orange is possible but rare

[sour depot]

Ok, never seen my self that's why im asking

[slender onyx]

Hey, what niche should the Helbore be filling? I got a good one as an Emperor's Gift. Because of the charge I assumed it was a sniping weapon, but it has a lot of sway and no scope, and seems to suffer quite a bit from suppression. But it also has a long equipping animation, making it difficult to justify swapping to in close range

Is there a use I'm missing? Maybe really good anti-armour, or stagger like the revolver? Was a bit hard to tell because I was missing half my shots haha

[ocean flower]

it's real good against armor. i'd consider it a more ammo-efficient alternative to the plasma?

[tawdry vortex]

https://tenor.com/view/krieg-warhammer40000-gif-20755773

[slender onyx]

Ye from what I could tell it wasn't too lacking for damage when I could actually land a shot lol. So I imagine it's a sort of midrange priority target smusher, cool beans

[rigid wasp]

ngl it really triggers me that they actually fixed the endless horde bug

then put it back in the game

[ocean flower]

evidently it isn't a bug

they just want there to be endless hordes of endless hordes

[gray geyser]

bug became feature

[jagged vigil]

Was Surge staff nerfed somehow? For some reason it feels worse than last week.

[rigid wasp]

You mean to tell me if I explicitly pick a Heresy with no Endless Horde and it gives me Endless Horde that there isn't some kinda bug

[ocean flower]

oh yeah that's a bug, but i don't think they ever fixed that

[rigid wasp]

They did

when Endless Horde got replaced by Power Outage

[nimble orchid]

Is setting up my shield and tanking ranged shots useful?

[rigid wasp]

Earlier today

[open dew]

Ok, what are some viable ranged options for veteran?

[ocean flower]

that's not fixing the bug, that's just another modifier overriding it

[nimble orchid]

I usually can't see very much when I do this, so I have no idea how good or useful it is

[rigid wasp]

it is a fix because they changed the modifier from a broken one to a good one

They didn't overlap it they changed it

[ocean flower]

it's not a fix, but i'm not going to bother arguing with you about it

[slow fog]

Anyone know when powersword unlocks?

[rigid wasp]

20s I believe? maybe a little sooner

[slow fog]

ah rip

[outer bloom]

is power sword veteran only or general?

[cobalt tartan]

Think they reduced it to 15

[rigid wasp]

15 is bolter so idk

[outer bloom]

bolter at 15 is pretty nuts

[slow fog]

Vet only

[cobalt tartan]

Most of the Signature weapons unlock around 15 to 20

[outer bloom]

odd that the best melee weapon in the game is on a ranged class

[spark elk]

the strongest weapon in the game is a thrown tin of grenades

[ocean flower]

i've found that i have mixed feelings about the power sword

it's insane damage, but has absolutely no mobility

you can cleave through two large swathes of enemies, but can't dodge when more just fill in the ranks

[outer bloom]

what damage goes through your toughness and hits hp directly?

[ocean flower]

all melee

to a degree

dependent on how much toughness you have

[rigid delta]

Hey guys, how oftenn do espionage missions spawn?

[ocean flower]

roughly never

[spice verge]

Any ideas of the best way to do the cliffhanger penance?

[ocean flower]

there were a couple up for an event that only lasted a few hours, but they're gone now

[rigid delta]

no helm for me then i guess

[jagged vigil]

psyker in red robes with a hood looks like a tech-priest wannabe

[odd torrent]

so uh is there any weapon that has innate bleed for Zealot's level 10 talent to make sense?

[tight cedar]

i think the knife can roll bleed on it

[hard goblet]

I'm fucking sick of this idiotic penance design. Why couldn't they just make it be 100% accuracy for Veteran while having fired at least half of your gun's starting ammo or something? Why the hell punish Veteran for playing the challenge by not factoring in his ammo regen?

I want to actually do the challenge rather than cheese it, but it's fucking impossible without a group of friends.

[elfin hill]

Is espionage added back in yet?

[burnt sierra]

Combat Blade, which is also bugged right now and applies stacks on stacks, doesn't decay, also applies bleed on stun nade and on top of that if you have the blessing that gives you a 3% chance to instantly kill human-sized enemies with chained heavy attacks you can actually oneshot any enemy in the game by applying bleed to them and then heavy-attacking another enemy.
Chained weapons can also have a bleed blessing tho.

[spice verge]

Thats how I feel about the cliffhanger penance im working on.

[sterile gate]

So I'm messing around with the eviscerator in the Meat Grinder and its weird, alt attack hits to the torso of the flak armor do more damage than alt attack hits to the head?

[odd torrent]

chained weapons have a bleed bless but not innate bleeding?
at any rate, good to know

[burnt sierra]

no weapon has innate bleeding yet, you always need to use one with a blessing or bloodletting

[odd torrent]

aw shame

[jagged vigil]

Have you seen Psyker penances? Cliffhanger required me to run same map again and again till I got people to agree to camp on a bridge. Still can't do suicide bomb 3 elites cos explosion can't even kill elites on Malice, need to carefully soften them up, then for the team to not kill tehm prematurely and so on. Don't even ask about solo mostrocity kill purelly by Brain blasts.

[hard goblet]

Oh for sure, all these high end challenge penances are designed to force you to play to the detriment of your squad in order to complete them. It boggles my fucking mind.

Veteran in particular just works against his own class' fucking ability in regenerating ammo whenever you or teammates kill elites.

They're all awfully designed though.

[sly dove]

if they got rid of the ammo part of the penance and changed it to has to have a good amount of kills it would be so much better

and more fun to try and get

[hard goblet]

Exactly. I can't understand how they thought that adding a 0 remaining ammo requirement on a class that regenerates ammo would be a good idea.

[blissful python]

or if they let you build it up over multiple games

instead of just having a random running around with a revolver in heresy doing nothing

[gray geyser]

about pox hounds.. when they lunge for you, can you dodge that? or will it always hit?

because i dodged it, only for it to turn instantly and bite me anyways!

[jagged vigil]

Actually I don't mind really high lvl penances being a real challenge. But while Zealot need to just play whole mission with melee for a mid level penance, Psyker need to jump through warp hoops to get his.

[hard goblet]

I've spent the past 3 hours trying to complete this penance and I've fucking had it.

[blissful python]

Honestly it's easiest with a premade group

[hard goblet]

3 Hours of practically trolling my squad because I can't afford to shoot things.

[burnt sierra]

well, at least reaching 0 ammo with 100% accuracy counts, had a mate that hit every shot and got ammo from an elite kill afterwards at extraction yet still got the penance done

[sly dove]

you can dodge or push them mid air

[spice verge]

Yeah, im about to give up on Cliffhanger myself. It's just frustrating.

[proud bluff]

i have a shit ton of mats

i can upgrade this

worth?

[hard goblet]

Yeah but the problem is if I decide to do that before extraction, I have no way of knowing how many more shots I'd need to fire before I'm now firing ammo regened from killing elites rather than what I started with.

[burnt sierra]

yea, I'm not saying that the penances are a good thing, just mentioning that there is a way despite the class working against it

[proud bluff]

i agree, this penance is a bit odds. something like 'maintain a 100% accuracy with the usage of at least 100 rounds at heresy or higher'

[peak crag]

is penance just for cosmetics?

[split anvil]

Yeah

[proud bluff]

yes

[peak crag]

gotcha

[split anvil]

There are some neat ones however

[hard goblet]

I understand. It's just a way that's only available to a premade group essentially as in order to be certain you'll get the achievement, the only reliable option is to sit at extraction and spend all your shots. And even then, I feel like this has to be a bug that the game somehow differentiates between "ammo you started with" vs "ammo you earned from killing elites" vs "ammo you picked up from containers" and doesn't consider the second option to violate the penance.

And then of course, that's entirely unintuitive to the player who wouldn't expect the penance to differentiate from that source of ammo being exempt from nullifying the challenge.

[burnt sierra]

maybe they'll change how to complete the penances in the future, we'll see

[rigid wasp]

IF they don't fix this endless horde bug soon

I'mma lose my mind

[outer bloom]

bug?

[burnt sierra]

yes, heresy always has endless horde

[rigid wasp]

Herest and Damn

always have endless horde even if you select one without endless horde

[outer bloom]

oh yeah that seems like a problem

[peak crag]

my teammates aren't grouping during the final phase for Malice Horde. Whenever I try and request to group, I get flamed..how do you counteract that?

[burnt sierra]

by going next, seriously, just forget about them and move on, if people don't want to cooperate then it's best for you to ignore that and play with another group, and you can always follow at least one person around to get their coherency bonus and help them, even if they don't want to help you out

[cursive torrent]

id say no. the damage is just a tad bit too low for some breakpoints.

[oak palm]

I upgraded to the better edition and my shit isnt added, does it come after the 10th?

30th

i mean

[outer bloom]

YES

[peak crag]

Is it worth to hold consecration mats for later items or no?

[outer bloom]

probably

until you hit max with your store bought levels

[rigid wasp]

Oh fuck wait

The Endless horde bug only affects heresy mode?

[outer bloom]

what difficulty does friendly fire turn on?>

[rigid wasp]

Not Damn

[burnt sierra]

correct, Heresy and Damnation are pretty much the same in difficulty because of it

[burnt sierra]

it doesn't

[rigid wasp]

eh I'd think Damn is actually easier

[outer bloom]

oh, no more FF

[rigid wasp]

Because endless horde can give you multiple bosses

[outer bloom]

that explains how the flamer is viable

[rigid wasp]

Flamer could still be viable with FF

It'd be a darwinism check

[burnt sierra]

yea, Damnation is just more punishing, but yes, to the average veteran it's easier than heresy for sure

[near harness]

Opening Salvo on weapon is meaningless for non-sharpshooter char? Is that right?

[gray geyser]

the zealot dash mutant penance. i should kill mutant while i dash into its charge?

[outer bloom]

you need to hold f to target it

[scarlet wigeon]

Its easier to have it charge someone else

[gray geyser]

yeah cause it just grabbed me anyways xD

[blissful flower]

idk I got it by killing it mid-dash while it was pummeling someone else on the ground

[gray geyser]

thx

[blissful flower]

But yeah don't target one charging you, try to target one after someone else

[scarlet wigeon]

This took me forever, because I was using a chainsword and the window for your charge to be active is very small. Basically the frame that occur when you active chastise has to be active when you kill the mutant. Id recommend a charged hammer

[blissful flower]

Or if you do, do it with the Thunder Hammer charged

Your Killing Blow has to be done during your charge, so single hits are better. Don't use a Chain Weapon

[subtle urchin]

how do i effeciently increase the level of stuff in the shop? its still doing 400 max despite being level 30 for quite some time

[outer bloom]

you need to wear your most expensive pants

by which I mean wear the highest gearscore items

[subtle urchin]

oh i actually gotta have all the high level stuff on when shop refreshes?

thats goofy but i get it

[sour depot]

I dont think u need to weat it, just have it on inventory

[gray geyser]

i start my heavy attack before i press dash

but ill switch weapons, yeah

[scarlet wigeon]

Depends on the weapon

Just note that chaoite has to be active (orange flames)

[inland imp]

Which Ripper Gun is best for big ogryn boy?

[gray geyser]

i like the one with 3 burst hipfire and full auto aimed

[dry pine]

Where are the intel and espionage missions?

[faint hamlet]

how do i equip the curio from loadout screen, can't seem to do it

[craggy bluff]

hey guys should i buy it or just wait for some better options?

[proven tinsel]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/911092385985994802/1046339951048011816/image.png
Is this worth investing upgrades into? Level 15 psyker here

[craggy bluff]

save craft mats for lvl 30

[proven tinsel]

aight

other q, is it worth using in the meantime?

[mortal sentinel]

Why cant I consecrate frontier thunder hammer? Is it bugged or you just not allowed?

[rapid ermine]

what are dregs?

sick cultits or something?

[astral peak]

emperor has blessed me on consecrate

[mortal sentinel]

yellow looking cultists

[jagged vigil]

How transfer peril works for you?

[quasi spade]

you get peril back after pretty much every shot

[atomic sleet]

I beat heresy several times as ogryn and have yet to see 4 of them traveling in a pack. Trying to go for that penance where you hit 4 at one time but you never see 4, do you only see that on max difficulty?

[dry pine]

You need 2 curios to equip one in th first slot. a bug

[lime imp]

it can happen in 4s

[dry pine]

Where are the intel and espionage missions?

[lime imp]

but it happens often in 5

[lime imp]

slowly rotating in and out

[maiden fiber]

For zealots Benediction also affects the player or only the allies?

[dry pine]

Too slow, I wanted to play them before work

rip

[hard crow]

So what's the tech for the Abhor the Mutant penance?

[scarlet wigeon]

Dont use a chainsword/ let him charge one of your allys and hold f to lock on

The mutie has to die while chastise is active

[maiden fiber]

Also you can hold to charge your weapon then chastise if you wanna ensure the kill

[hard crow]

I've managed to get the hit it's just not getting the kill unfortunately

[outer bloom]

does anyone know how enemies are divided into scum and dregs?

[warm shard]

Does the damage bar on melee weapons matter much?

[gray geyser]

use thunderhammer, activate special attack, dash and normal attack at the same time

[scarlet wigeon]

thunderhammer should 1 shot him no matter how much hp

[outer bloom]

Sorry Scab, Dregs and Terrors.

[gray geyser]

the timing of the attack matters most

[dry pine]

Scabs are the traitor guardsmen, flak armour and lasguns.
Dregs are the cultists, yellow cloth and autoguns
Terrors are the poxwalkers and dead walkers

[outer bloom]

Is everything a scab a dreg or a terror, are there non aligned enemies? are generic hordes divided into scum and dregs?

[warm shard]

[outer bloom]

I

I

[warm shard]

Ok maybe the bars don't matter much lmao

[outer bloom]

FUck this keyboard the enter key is slightly too long

[dry pine]

generic hordes are terrors

[outer bloom]

I've got a "kill 750 scab with ranged" on my zealot.

I am 1/3rd done

[dry pine]

you get credit for teammate ranged kills

[outer bloom]

I do?

That makes that mission make so much more sense.

[rapid ermine]

yap. Almost done with it and i rarely use my shotgun on my zealot

[outer bloom]

thank god the weeklies aren't like the penances.

"kill 750 dregs with a shotgun on heresy difficulty while standing on your head with 3 ogryns in your party"

[rapid ermine]

I would 100% play sharpshooter zealot if i had to kill 750 fucking enemies with gun on my zealot

Would spend the next 50 matches just sniping with a shotgun or some shit

[outer bloom]

Which would create shitty pub play

[rapid ermine]

yap

[outer bloom]

Which is of course Fatshark's secret plan all along

Just ruin the game for everyone

[dry pine]

don't forget 100% accuracy

[rapid ermine]

Aint most of the pennances a griefing challenge anyway? 😄

[dry pine]

because that's an intended thing somewhere in there

[outer bloom]

Yes thats the point

[rapid ermine]

"sorry lads, but i will be spending 99% of the match being absolute dead weight due to my pennance"

[outer bloom]

Imagine weekly griefing challenges.

[outer bloom]

Honestly right now Veteran is on par with Zealot in melee

[latent sorrel]

how do i stop dying so much each time theres a horde around?

[rigid wasp]

Just bought this at level 28 from the regular vendor any good
?

[outer bloom]

Or at least he's close, especially if the zealot is bad.

[outer bloom]

BLOCK

then BLOCK

[rapid ermine]

Aint veteran better than zealot for melee due to his weapons and more tankiness? 😄

[outer bloom]

THEN block

[dry pine]

dodge more, push every now and then for space

[latent sorrel]

block?

isnt block useless if i can just slash on them?

or am i misunderstanding something

[rapid ermine]

block is godtier

[outer bloom]

It's been argued

You need to be blocking unless you're pushing, then using the pushstab

[dry pine]

intel map up yet?

[rapid ermine]

I aint leaving my zealot due to her charge ability ❤️

[rigid wasp]

Anyone? The damage stat looks kinda low but it has +3 Rending

[latent sorrel]

stupid question how do i block correctly

[terse shore]

Shotgun any good currently if all weapons available? (Veteran)

[outer bloom]

Shotfun

[rapid ermine]

Shitgun are super fun

[latent sorrel]

also what melee weapon should i use?

[outer bloom]

what class

[latent sorrel]

psyker

[rapid ermine]

whatever you can get, your team has pretty much left you to die if you have to melee that much 😄

[outer bloom]

You should use the force sword once you get it, unless you want to go off meta and have.....gasp.... FUN

Melee psyker is a viable build

[tight cedar]

nope but it'll still be good for difficulty 3

[dry pine]

bars mean pretty much nothing, they go off the weapon's base stats which aren't shown

[latent sorrel]

well i used a axe but it stops like when hitting one enemy

and i cant find a good force sword-

[rigid wasp]

So it's not good? Is it because of the damage stat?

[terse shore]

Fun? 😮

[outer bloom]

it could be worse

[terse shore]

Is that weapon

[tight cedar]

yeah damage stat is low and that blessing doesnt do a whole lot

[latent sorrel]

should i buy this one?

i dont have any good force weapons-

[rigid wasp]

Well I can get a different blessing if I upgrade it can't I?

been stockpiling materials I could take it straight to master-crafted if I wanted

[outer bloom]

at low level just buy whatever is gonna give you the highest overal rating

[rigid wasp]

but I'm waiting to find the perfect bolter

[tight cedar]

if you get it to legendary which is 2 upgrades then yeah you'll get another blessing

[latent sorrel]

im lvl9-

[tight cedar]

but it wont change the damage stat unfortunately

[outer bloom]

yeah just buy whatever.

[rigid wasp]

is that bolter worth master-crafting

[latent sorrel]

also probably a dumb question but what exactly does the rating do like when increasing the rating-

[outer bloom]

push up that gearstat.

[tight cedar]

i wouldnt personally unless you're desperate for a bolter

[latent sorrel]

so if i use high gear i get even higher gear?

[rigid wasp]

I have 2 other bolters

but the gear stat is lower

but they have WAY bigger damage bars

[dry pine]

What type of dreg are we missing?

[jagged vigil]

Combat axe is pretty good I think, even if it stops on one enemy. At least you know that in most cases one hit is enough. Alternatively you can try knife, mostly for crab-like sideways dodging away from the horde. Force sword is on theme and I would use it if I had one with decent stats.

[outer bloom]

Rating is the total of points allocated to the 5 bars and also determines general damage. also the shop determines what gear it sells based on the level of the highest stuff in your inventory.

[tight cedar]

those ones will likely be worth using over the one you screenshotted but they wouldnt be worth upgrading

[rigid wasp]

They are about a 100 gear score different

around 260

that one I just got is like 360

[tight cedar]

whats the rarity of the 360?

[rigid wasp]

blue

[latent sorrel]

i see and is there a way to change the rating of a weapon i have a good low rating trauma staff but a higher rated less dmg trauma staff-

[tight cedar]

yeah i wouldnt upgrade it then

[outer bloom]

oh also at low level items are fairly cheap so buying something wont cost you 4 missions of cash

[latent sorrel]

is lvl 9 that low pwp

[rigid wasp]

isn't rending the best thing to get on a bolter tho btw?

[spiral gale]

Powersword vs chainaxe which is better?

I love the natural AP of the axe n gahdang its so satisfying to use… but power sword’s cooler imo 😛

[outer bloom]

game goes to lvl 30, then from there it's gearscore and mastercrafting right now

[tight cedar]

you can increase the rating by upgrading the rarity but the rating only increases due to the added perks and blessings, upgrading rarity does not change the stat bars

[latent sorrel]

agony

can i combine two weapons?

[tight cedar]

nope

[latent sorrel]

big sad

[tight cedar]

the only crafting available atm is to upgrade rarity

[boreal pine]

is the 7th mission type out? can i get my helmet

[latent sorrel]

alright thank u guys i will try to block more

tho when do i efficently block?

[outer bloom]

block and push

[latent sorrel]

i mean block instead of push

[outer bloom]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzHC98kDN7c

[latent sorrel]

afjf block instead of slash i mean

[tight cedar]

theres a blessing that gives you big stacks of power based on how many enemies you stagger which seems like the best one so far

[dry pine]

7th mission is out, but 2 other mission types are locked out atm

[lime imp]

Block can be something you do to cancel your attack chain

[dry pine]

20 enemies within 2s

[boreal pine]

where can i see info about the lockout?

like which missions n stuff

[dry pine]

Can't, the entire mission rotation system is completely opaque to us

could be when the warzone condition timer ends, could be in an hour, who knows

should i get this?

[tender kelp]

is it possible to equip the darktide twitch drop skins yet?

[cursive torrent]

are post mission item drops just not a thing anymore? i dont recall getting one for like 50 missions now.

[rapid ermine]

oh god... 4 zealot team

inb4 we have range of fuck all

[outer bloom]

theyre super rare

and usually worthless

[tight cedar]

nope it has awful rolls

damage to flak is pointless because you'll one shot anything wearing flak anyway

[fringe pagoda]

Not quite. You need to do 20 enemies all at once. So gather up a big horde. Push them all off a cliff. Once.

[tight cedar]

and rending i dont think does anything for the plasma

[outer bloom]

nothing you should be hitting with plasma is wearing flack

[cold moon]

You go to your Inventory screen then press C-key to open the weapon cosmetics screen.

Already equipped the twitch skin for my lasgun

[outer bloom]

does anyone else not get the twitch thing?

Like I'll do it an minimize the window sure

[tender kelp]

i linked my stuff but havent had them appear in my inventory or anything

[outer bloom]

but whats the point. If I have an account I've bought the game, and if I'm just fake watching it doesnt actually get anyone eyes on stream

Just linking your metadata into Twitch?

[cold moon]

Forgot you have to click on the weapon eligible for the twitch skin such as lasgun, sword (any I guess), and rippergun

[tired coyote]

hey guys i have a question which is better for the zelot the chain axe or the eviserator?

[cold moon]

Eviscerator by a mile. Chain axe hangs on to a target for a few seconds after touching it. The attack animations for chain axe is janky.

[tender kelp]

which lasgun...?

[cold moon]

Any lasgun I suppose. Not specified.

https://i.imgur.com/D8ZpaGC.png

[tired coyote]

thx

[tender kelp]

i dont have it on any

[rugged wigeon]

Is there a performance stat option?

[cold moon]

I used the twitch skin on an infantry lasgun for Zealot.

[rapid ermine]

lasgun on zealot sounds like some herecy

[gray geyser]

are these the first twitch drops ever?

[plain turtle]

Hmm anyone got a tip for the dead eye penance ? trying it with the bolter doenst seem to work for me

all penances and everything you unlocked with them

nope inventory, money aqnd so on seems to be unique for every char

[outer bloom]

Wonder if that applies to character specific penances. Also you keep NOZINK. You are worm unt you shall remain worm.

yah

[plain turtle]

but you also get different weekly missions for every char

yep class specific penances carry over too, have tried it

[balmy crest]

dose the perk "dumdum" working? I don't see any damage increase.

[plain turtle]

so if you unlocked all the shiny cosmetics for one class you can make another cahr of the same class with lvl 1 and that one has alle the shinys

no comsetics 😄

the ones you get from penances are not they are only class specific

you like to have a female instead of a male ?

[plush edge]

my game crashed every single time could some1 help ?

[plain turtle]

or another voice

[plain turtle]

does it crahs at a specific time ?

[dry pine]

intel maps back yet?

[rapid ermine]

Is the god emperor hinting at me to stop using my trusty old chainsword by gifting me shit like this?

[plush edge]

no, sometimes even before the selection of the character, others in the main menu, sometimes in the middle of the game

[plain turtle]

it takes about 2 days of hard core gaming to get a character to lvl 30 so yeah dont see how they could make it friendlier without breaking it completly

[plush edge]

since the last update, has been horrible

[plain turtle]

hmmm damn i guess you already tried lowering the graphics settings and the worker threads ?

[plush edge]

i couldn´t finnish a single game

[civic kindle]

at what gear power is a grey worth keeping for upgrading?

[plush edge]

yes....

[placid raven]

Question! Is the Rosette unlock bugged?

[civic kindle]

I got it with no issue

[plush edge]

i went to the shark forum too

but no solutions

[placid raven]

hmm yeah, I don't have it. Everything else? Got it all

[plain turtle]

hmm damn sorry then i dont have any idea

[plush edge]

thnks mate, i had to try here

[old meteor]

Any ideas why I cant upgrade my thunder hammer? I just freshly bought it

[rapid ermine]

what is hit mass?

[placid raven]

I heard it's not available yet. They need to patch it in.

[outer bloom]

Who knows!

[spark elk]

yeah afaik it's just thunder hammer that cant be crafted on right now

[hot falcon]

hit mass is how much enemies "stop" your cleave, if you hit a bigger enemy with more hit mass it will stop your cleave more than if you were to hit a poxwalker

[old meteor]

[cursive torrent]

every weapon can pass though a certain amount of hit mass and keep hitting more enemies. some wepaons like combat axes have very little and others have a lot

[rapid ermine]

so basically that chainsword would have unlimited cleave on crits?

[jagged vigil]

how does it work? 0_o, which shot is second and third in salvo for a staff?

[cursive torrent]

for a few seconds yeah

[fathom kite]

Is espionage live?

[cursive torrent]

i havent seen it all day but the missions are switching pretty soon

[signal fable]

Hey boys, how do I deal with range spam as a psyker? I'm mostly fine on difficuty 4 but as soon as the game start puking every type of range imaginable at the same time at me I just can't do anything anymore
Hell I can't even run away most times

[tranquil grove]

https://tenor.com/bhHif.gif

[ocean flower]

In my experience, you mostly just… don’t. If you’re high perils, you could light them all on fire with a perked ult. Otherwise, lasgun/voidstrike staff and pray to the emperor that your vet buddy will help

[signal fable]

I almost never get vet on random on 4
It's all psyker and zealots
It's almost as if they get filter on 3 😢

[tranquil grove]

I've noticed while I was trying to do the kill shot penance that if I as the vet am not killing the swarms of elites nobody is and its very sad and makes that penance heartbreaking

[worthy ore]

what i usually do is, go surge staff with either IV stabby sword or big dmg force sword, and keep to the edges, if you want more range go for voice strike staff instead, and spam them back

like usually, ranged enemies arent ur problem, let zealots and vets take care of em, but surge staff has very finicky range, sometimes 342857m and sometimes 2

[sudden axle]

this is pretty much the blessing you want on a bolter, right? https://gyazo.com/33f46b93b3a00bc1c45f07f0f523e2ea

[left heart]

I've got a big damage force sword and it just doesn't do enough damage. It doesn't kill in one hit enough, or stagger enough. More than 2 enemies and a 3rd just waltzes through my slashes and tags me. I've gone back to a chainsword.

[signal fable]

Yeah I noticed, I mostly stick to the voidstrike
But the main problem is that a lot of time the zealot just kamikaze himself and dies in the middle of the firing range and the other dudes with me just commit seppuku trying to rescue him and I end up being the sole target
Clutching is harder than in vermintide with all those aimbot range mob

[worthy ore]

i would prolly go poke sword then, basically the same as the rapier in vermintide 2, so high atkspeed, and then get on hit stuff on it

and only use the force sword for boss maps

[left heart]

Yeah I have a dueling sword MkII and it's nice, and a nice chainsword with cleave perk. They do the job but I'm sad I won't get to use Deflector.

[tender kelp]

i have them connected is there anywhere i have to go ingame to claim them or anything?

[pale musk]

guys what gun should i go for in the weekly shop as a vet? i mostly play what feels fun for now, but what are the good guns actually?

[left heart]

Deflector + that feat that lets you use peril instead of stamina, so yummy.

[worthy ore]

im more of a duelling sword mk IV since it has stabby heavies like the rapier

[open dew]

is there any way to disable the bots currently?

[worthy ore]

nyo

[signal fable]

I mostly go for the recon as the vet, it's really good plus it has basically no draw animation so you don't get murdered trying to quick switch in a clutch

I like other guns but damn those 2 minutes long draw animation everytime you pull them out is just a pain

[pale musk]

so full auto is better then semi auto for you?

[signal fable]

on the recon the full auto has less recoil than semi on other guns

[left heart]

If you want semi, Infantry lasgun?

[signal fable]

it's mostly a laser beam at this point

[outer bloom]

do the bots actually level with you or are they all lvl 1 convicts?

[pale musk]

yea ik, just the lack of scope kinda sucks

[outer bloom]

nothing has scope. Only zoom is the vet special

[left heart]

I usually just buy one of what I want to try out and just.. try it out.

[worthy ore]

usually, as a psyker, i'd prolly go for dualling sword IV, to be able to survive random melee enemies on higher difficulties, since it staggers decently, but mostly i just spam surge staff to stunlock for my team, and use bb to pick off as many specials/elites i can without putting myself in a bad spot

[pale musk]

yea but u know weekly shop resources hit different

[signal fable]

if you want to semi auto I think the vraks was pretty nice but I only played it in 3 where basically everything works

[left heart]

I mean, you're deciding whether you want to buy a weapon at the weekly resource shop when you've never tried it before otherwise?

[pale musk]

no i mean ive tried nearly all the weapons i can. Its just idk if the weapon is even good on higher lvls is what i mean.

[signal fable]

the weeklies are too expensive anyway
Right now for the price I need 2 weeks worth of coins to buy one

[left heart]

I've seen plenty of marksmen run with Recon, but at high levels I mostly see them toting bolters.

[signal fable]

and I tried the random chests on the 1st week but only got underlevelled whites in them

[outer bloom]

wait you can get whites out of the chests?

ooof

[signal fable]

Bolters are great but I personnaly just can't deal with the lenght of the draw animation
For a game that aims to go hybrid between melee and range I feel like they missed something in development with most of the drawing animations

You can get non whites in chests?

[jagged vigil]

I heard someone used Force sword that can block bullets to tank ranged fire. Not sure if he was meming or it is actually viable.

[cold moon]

No way to redeem in-game as they should appear automatically, but make sure you redeemed the skins from your twitch inventory.

[outer bloom]

the draw animations are deliberately timed to make certain weapons ineffective in close quarters.

Its a balance feature

[sour depot]

Its true, u need perk for it tho

[outer bloom]

like the flamer takes a while to draw, then takes a while to activate secondary, so it's a sniper weapon obviously, because you cant draw it in close quarters.

[signal fable]

yeah I've seen people saying it can block range but I have yet to see it
I have seen some weird parry animation with the duelling sword on range shots though, I don't know if it was a bug or not

[sterile beacon]

What does the Ignore enemy hit mass perk mean?

[outer bloom]

I don't understand why they gave it to the zealot honestly. with draw animations that long it's clearly meant for long range characters.

[signal fable]

I think it means your weapon doesn't get stuck on the enemy it hits

[sterile beacon]

Thanks

[signal fable]

Yeah sure but it feels extremely overbalanced
The recon has 0 animations but justs completely mows down everything both close quarter and long range when other weapons like the bayonet one takes forever to draw and feels underwelming at most range right now

[outer bloom]

what is the difference between wounds and max health?

[signal fable]

wounds is the number of time you can get downed

[outer bloom]

wounds just subdivides your health total into more boxes?

[ocean sand]

I had this question in VT2 as well but, what is the purpose of wargear level? Am I upgrading my gear just for the perks?

[outer bloom]

damage

[signal fable]

before just dying right away

[outer bloom]

so wounds divides your existing health into more boxes

[signal fable]

when your life gets to 0 you get downed and if your buds get you back up one of the section get corrupted (purple)

[outer bloom]

and health gives you more heath but the same number of boxes.

since the boxes are also health

[proven escarp]

I have two questions

1. How often do the weapons in armory exchange rotate? Looking for an ogryn shield but can never find one so far

2. I've only played ogryn and my buddy thinks im nuts. Every so often I hear 3 ticks that sounds like an igniter before a gas stove or grill is lit. Seems to be random, any idea what it is?

[outer bloom]

I just spawned into a run, immediately got dogged and then saw 1 party member was fully dead

and one was down

then the last guy got dogged

by a second poxhound

mission "complete" in under 30 seconds

[mossy frost]

1. It rotates every hour on the hour
2. That denotes a nearby flamer

[outer bloom]

each special has a characteristic spawn sound

ticktockers, igniters, don't actually know any others

[proven escarp]

Damn its 35m away from an hour lol

give big man shield

Whichever you enjoy the most

[scarlet wigeon]

There really isnt any meta (At least not yet) as far as I can tell each class plays a role.

[tight cedar]

vet/ogryn

[grave ocean]

General ranged, general melee, anti elite, anti horde

[tight cedar]

ogryn for the shield and vet to take out the literal hundreds of ranged enemies

[mossy frost]

I believe it’s: bursters=ticktocking, hounds=howling/barking, flamers=spark igniter, mutant=deep roaring, trappers=laughter (maybe, not sure), daemonhosts=whispers and frosty screen

[grave ocean]

That's the very bare minim

[outer bloom]

psycher is actually at the top of that list, but only if you're good, and you only want 1

on the other hand 4 vets is a solid comp

[proven escarp]

Ogryn best boy.

I do think more people shouldnt worry about whats strongest end game @obtuse blaze , given it takes a long time to level and at any time they can do a balance patch that adjusts whos "strongest". I personally think people should play who they enjoy most in most games and go from there. Enjoying the character will make the ups and downs of balancing matter less.

Youre in a team of 4 and everything is viable just not necessarily optimal.

[tight cedar]

i would agree but they asked specifically about the highest difficulties which require using better compositions and gear

[scarlet wigeon]

The amount of times ive saved ass in my group on 4/5 from hordes with a flamer is up there

[proven escarp]

so then try the other 3 🙂

[tight cedar]

if you rock up to a difficulty 4 as vet with a revolver then you're a liability to the team

[proven escarp]

Correct; but if they nerf veteran or ogryn?

Sure but thats the weapon, not the class.

[tall shadow]

Hate to be that guy but if you’re group can’t a handle a horde they shouldn’t be playing a 4 or 5

[mossy frost]

That sounded like a clarification, not an answer

[proven escarp]

so play each to like lvl 5, its like 6 missions

[broken cradle]

I got combat ability regeneration on a curio, is there a seperate cooldown reduction stat or is this the only one?

[shrewd laurel]

What

[tight cedar]

its actually the class, vet needs versatility which the revolver doesnt offer

while the revolver is far better on zealot

[rugged wigeon]

Can someone help me get the Heavyweight Champion penance?

[proven escarp]

Okay; its still the class. Youre saying X class isnt good with Y weapon. That doesnt mean X class isnt good with other weapons. The class mechanics are the same across all weapons and youre looking to find what your favorite set of mechanics are. Psyker explode, Ogryn tank, vet aim based etc

Changing my weapon takes 30 seconds; leveling a new character takes 30h

[outer bloom]

and I spawned into a 3rd malice in a row that ended with the whole team getting downed within a minute

at least they fail quickly

[rigid wasp]

IS the Darkness/Lights out Condition already gone ? I still only have endless Horde condition.

[outer bloom]

yeah seems like the "weekend event" lasted about 12 hours?

[tight cedar]

is the daemonhost still in the game?

[outer bloom]

Nope

[tight cedar]

or was that pulled with the event?

sad

[outer bloom]

how long was it even out

I got to play it literally twice

[floral marlin]

5 hours in the middle of the night for europe it seems

[rugged wigeon]

Anyone able to help me with Heavyweight Champion?

[rigid wasp]

got to bed at 22 it wasent out came online at 7:30 it was gone already 😄

[outer bloom]

Ok so it really was like 6 hours.

because I logged on at like 7est and it was there and it was gone by midnight

[sour depot]

Same man😩

[onyx arrow]

Up Close and Personal bugged?

[rigid wasp]

Btw any Ogrins wanne try Friends will be Friends ?

[outer bloom]

and now the servers are wierdly dead and I've got a team of 3 bots on a 3 dif

[onyx arrow]

Completed a Malice mission and didn't shoot my gun at all. Didn't get credit for it ~_~

[whole nebula]

getting randos in this game to stay still is like trying to catch a fish with yoru abre hands

[proven escarp]

Which ranged weapons are the ogryn using at higher level, too? im kinda curious

[whole nebula]

I usually see the hand grenade launcher thingy

[outer bloom]

grenadier fist

and shield

grenadier gauntlet

[whole nebula]

have the parameters changed for the deadeye penance? I swear I've gotten five headshot kills multiple times now

[steep basalt]

is it better to look for a high number grey item and try and add buffs to it

[spark elk]

rumbler

[tight cedar]

yup

[spiral gale]

My friends’s game still keeps crashing upon startup.

He gets no error msg. Anyone have anyth to fix?

[grand flint]

is the chain axe generally just better than the regular axes?

is there any reason to use a combat axe instead?

besides stats

[outer meadow]

How does one gets this penance done?

[outer meadow]

should be highlighted targets that are seen during volley fire class ability.

[scarlet wigeon]

Take a revolver make all your first shots count then use melee the rest of the map thats what ii did

[whole nebula]

yep doing that too

[whole nebula]

I did it yesterday, shotgun worked best for me

[rugged wigeon]

Can someone help me get the Heavyweight Champion penance?

[sudden axle]

does melk's contracts only count at difficulty 3+

[proven escarp]

I thought ripper might be in there too, but aight. So far the rumblers seemed meh to me-- what makes it valuable at high level?

[sudden axle]

i feel like i've done a bunch of level 2 scripture missions but the # hasn't gone up

[sudden axle]

the fire can kill specials in one hit, the explosion staggers a bunch more

[scarlet wigeon]

The axes all do different things. The Achlys axe and antax axe are good at armour piercing. Chain axes are basically less pierce and add shredder

[royal rock]

which are the maniacs enemies ?

[whole nebula]

is there any way to see what missions I haven't completed on malice?

[scarlet wigeon]

nope had this issue earlier

[spiral gale]

Any help fr dis? Its the only thing stopping my friend frm playing😭

[faint hamlet]

Thank you!

[mossy frost]

Unfortunately, all relevant info about the crash is automatically sent. I’m guessing that code is just a reference key to check with the devs responsible for processing the report

[stark sand]

Settings to low from the launcher to see if it makes a difference. Some people have said that reducing the "Worker Threads" from the launcher settings helped to stabilize the game. Depending on your friend's CPU there can be a wild number of worker threads, but one can reduce them to single digits and see if it makes a difference.

[proven escarp]

F for getting a shield. 4th hour of rotation for me, no shield 😦

[rugged wigeon]

Can someone help me get the Heavyweight Champion penance?

[spiral gale]

He managed to fix it. Was related to his msi afterburner overlay

[civic kindle]

are "lights out" missions still in?

[rigid wasp]

No, BUT the Endless Horde should be rotating out in like an hour or less

to the power outage

[civic kindle]

cool thanks

[scarlet wigeon]

better buy a rifle with a flashlight

[rigid wasp]

you don't need a light

unless you want to see far

[strong bridge]

what have we here

[civic kindle]

'ate flashlights, 'ate daemonhosts, luv me slab shield, simple as

[spiral grail]

me when me when

[strong bridge]

you saved he hive 😄

[inland pier]

Its over you did it

[spiral gale]

My game has a glitch whr clickin on the weapon shop, the menu just doesnt show n all my button clicks do nothing. Only way fr me to get out is to restart the game.

Anyone know why?

I restarted my game 3 times already but everytime its like this. Am i clickin the weapon shop button too quickly?

[sturdy sandal]

have fatshark addressed the elite dmg multiplier yet I wonder :/

would really love it for them to fix it

also has anyone got elite dmg+ more than 9%?

[past shale]

i cannot swap weapon perks right now in beta?

[tight cedar]

ive got 10% on a recon las

[rigid wasp]

anyone got a screenshot of the 3rd veteran helmet you can unlock?

[onyx arrow]

ah, a couple of Zealot Penances are bugged

[ember radish]

Ello! is it just me or does the game not have "Borderless windowed"? 😮
the Borderless Fullscreen I found out is not the same, as it does not properly respect resolution settings or changes. :c

[mystic basin]

Who will tell! Gs weapons after 30 in the store got up! If you increase your guns through crafting to 480, will the gs rise in the store?

[wraith wren]

I do “alt+enter”

[ember radish]

that simply just changes the game between Fullscreen and an usually "windowed mode" :C
Which to my finding, isn't working with "Fullscreen Borderless" either. :C

[tight cedar]

ive been running a 473 gun for quite a while and the max ive gotten in the shop is about 410 so i dont think the shop gets any better

though i could be wrong

[patent sapphire]

i got a 420 blue out of the shop but that’s the highest i’ve seen

[mystic basin]

i see only 415 .

how to raise it then or with crafting 490+ - limit?

[tight cedar]

supposedly the max for mastercrafted is 560

the way to get that high is to get a really high rated grey weapon then upgrade it to the max and hope you get good rolls

[ember radish]

ngl, sounds like a good system, gives grey items value and usability while still being sellable trash 😄

[shut widget]

So are investigation missions just disabled currently or what?

[pliant willow]

Got any good strat for the assassination fights? On Malice, the team wipes soo quickly but on Uprising the enemy dies within 30 sec lol

[mystic basin]

hmm

[shut widget]

Seems to be pretty level/gear dependent. Was also struggling a bit with malice boss fights until levelling up more and trying out some new weapons. You can chunk the boss' health and shield super fast with melee

[mystic basin]

dont see any white weapon 350+ gs.

[shut widget]

My buddy with a hammer can do like 1/4 of the boss health in one hit...

[pliant willow]

Ye I am just a level 25 veteran

But the boss is not the problem itself

the snipers are

they wipe entire team in seconds

[shut widget]

You really just gotta roast the boss as fast as possible. I'm also a sharpshooter so during those fights I'm usually the one focusing on adds/elites. If someone isn't killing them you def will wipe

[patent sapphire]

at least up to diff 3 if you have a medpack everyone just needs to run up to him and heavy melee with a medpack on the ground

quickest way to kill and very safe

[tough cove]

Is there a way to easily see all currently still locked insignias and frames?
Without having to check each category of penance manually?

[zenith torrent]

The left one looks like a full improvement. Though I fear that the loss in Blast Radius reduces my capacity to clear horde lines. Any thoughts?

[scarlet wigeon]

Honestly I really like transfer peril

[zenith torrent]

So do I. But the damage looks like it needs improvement.

[patent sapphire]

you will need to replace the right one eventually just because the rating

[burnt pendant]

Ok, question:
I've found an autogun with "Crucian Roulette".
+3% Crit chance for every empty chamber in the weapon. This is clearly a revolver mod.
Does this work on an autogun (magazine-fed)?

[zenith torrent]

That is exactly my fear. I wish I could take the stats of one and the extra skill of the other

[tough cove]

I would personally wait with replacing it till you're max level

then you just buy a 350+ one

[patent sapphire]

eventually with crafting you'll be able to put anything on anything

[zenith torrent]

So, saving dockets it is

[tough cove]

if you just spend your money on xp curios instead

then once you're 30 you can start thinking about min maxing

[zenith torrent]

Thank you for the advices!

[burnt pendant]

Ok, I've bought the autogun with crucian roulette. It will probably be a huge waste of resources, but I will try it out soon and find out if the blessing works.

[pliant willow]

sadly I use bolt gun so precision sniping specials doesn't work 😄

[shut widget]

Helbore Lasgun OP - you can 1 shot most Elites with it. It's effectively a sniper with charged attacks

[edgy plinth]

Hello all - on PC here. Is there a way to keybind tagging an enemy? There's a 'Tag' function in controls, but seems to be for something else. I can use MMB and move to 'Tag enemy' but its a pain in heat of battle

[pliant willow]

What's your build`?

[rigid wasp]

Is there a fix planned for this absolute BS ? https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/z5h8zv/fatshark_please_fix_this/

[shut widget]

Not sure on the feats without looking, but really the bread and butter of my build is a Lasgun with +30% critical weakspot damage and 2 curios that give me extra damage to certain specials. I know I for sure use the camo feat, but can't remember the others.

[pliant willow]

Does it work well aside from sniping specials? How is it against monsters and armoured ogryns?

[shut widget]

Even against armored enemies it's quite nice, charged attacks still fuck them up, and the Lasgun in general is pretty solid for fighting scabs/dregs/etc.

Helbore Lasgun is the way to go imo as Sharpshooter, been trying out melee weapons and I'm torn between the Chainsword or Devil's Sword

[pliant willow]

Is that the one with electric horizontal sweeps?

[sudden axle]

what is there to be fixed?

you never killed the guy so he got up and hit you again

[wary crescent]

anybody able to help me through a heresy to get the final veteran torso from the "make every shot count" penance? im level 30 but these randos dont make it any easier

[burnt pendant]

Ok, "Crucian Roulette".
+3% Crit chance for every empty chamber in the weapon, does clearly not work properly on an autogun. I assume it gives 3% crit total. My poor money.

[serene latch]

he did kill them both tho

you can see the bodies on the floor, 2 of them

[sudden axle]

hm

[serene latch]

the game has dumb ass drop system

[sudden axle]

there is ajump spot from up there, i guess htey jumped down

[verbal arrow]

Last one was not dead tho

[serene latch]

full of ladders above

last one was dead by the wall

1st one was on the stairs

[foggy dome]

Anyone ever got anything but gray items from the emporer?

[serene latch]

3rd insta drops from the top and hits, it's a shitty vermintide gameplay mechanics

[rigid wasp]

Open your eyes, ennemies are spawning out of sight right behind you.

[maiden quest]

i've got 3 orange items from the emperor

[wary crescent]

iv got both of my legendary trinket things from the emperor

[serene latch]

he dropped from the top

you just didn't see it

it's the same shit where they climb the ladder and insta charge you

[foggy dome]

what difficulty do you play to get those drops? i keep farming heresy but get gray 100% of the time

[wary crescent]

i got them on malice

[maiden quest]

i play heresy too

[sharp root]

I'm strictly on malice for solo players and have had 2 drops, so I think it's random

[foggy dome]

damn rng shits on me once again xD

[shut crown]

did they fix the bug where the thunder hammer couldnt get consecrated ?

[maiden quest]

i need help with the malleus monstronum challenge and do you know if it works if we do like 2 psykers at the same time with only brain burst or must be only one damaging him?

[little atlas]

Nuffle, the fickle God of Dice, does enjoy a proper ritual sacrifice.
Do with that information what you want.

[patent sapphire]

it seems like i only get golden curios from the emperor and i only get grey weapons lol

[drowsy lake]

Any tips on how/where to do gone bowling for ogryn?

[little atlas]

I find it interesting how people still judge items by their rarity instead of the item rating... but they'll understand it sooner or later

[patent sapphire]

i mean

[fallen turret]

rarity has some nice perks, just sayin

[patent sapphire]

the curio i got was garbage

but it was gold

[little atlas]

And item rating is what determines and describes the overall power of the item

Rarity can be changed and improved all the way to master-crafted.

But the extent to which you can improve the item rating is limited (and determined by its base level).

You can turn a 400 grey item into god tier orange gear but a 400 orange item will inevitably be scrapped because the base power is low

[coarse saffron]

Question, Does the Host enemy in Power interruption missions count as a monstrosity?

[sharp root]

Has anyone found a 400 gray yet? or is it still theoretical? I know there was talks yesterday about it

[grave ocean]

Daemonhosts suck

[little atlas]

That's their best skill, you just don't like that they suck souls and not other phallic things

[grave ocean]

No more the part where they break my neck and fling me into the abyss

[coarse saffron]

But does anybody know if they count as monstrosity?

[pastel kayak]

whats the highest rating gray items show up in the shop?

[scarlet wigeon]

Dont know about the power missions but I think the assassination missions count as monstrosities

[vital relic]

Does anyone know how many force weapons there are in the game, im a level 11 Psyker and i have only seen 3 so far ? 2 staffs and 1 blade.

[carmine orbit]

out of curiosity, can u complete penances for a class with different one (there are some that are not stated "as a class" as example Just a flesh wound)?

[little atlas]

4 staves, 1 sword

[mellow sage]

are there any weapons that have punch through ?

[vital relic]

😱 oh no only 1 sword

[unkempt eagle]

@mellow sage yeah and theres a bash for using the butt of a rifle

[little atlas]

Some Ogryn weapons have punches and slaps as weapon special

[sudden axle]

he means overpenetration

[elfin ingot]

i wont lie. that combat ability regen roll actually hurt.

[sudden axle]

eh, if you're a vet that's kinda handy. i like wallhacks.

i know the hope was ANOTHER toughness + tho

[elfin ingot]

its only 2% thats literally nothing.
