holy shit dude
I’m just trying to get clarity.
anyway who cares
I think I missed part of the conversation
i do. you two just keep arguing with me for some reason
Moving quick
Yeah I was really confused when I would pull out my Bolger to reload and it would rack before reloading and after
Mechanicus safety feature. It automatically de-cocks when subjected to G forces over a certain limit. It prevents you from blowing your neighbour's dog to hell when dropped.
There, now there's a lore reason.
Is that actually lore accurate 😂
i'd accept this
If you wanted a safety mechanism you'd just have a sear disconnect, like real modern firearms do.
which doesn't require the gun to be "uncocked"
don't invoke my firearms autism I will go deep
uh oh guys, crusader knows weapon platforms as well
get em
better argue with him for 10 minutes
I’d like to point out, you’re complaining about logic in a place where literal green fungus monsters paint red on objects to make them faster and build space faring ships out of scraps and rubble
let me grab my red bull I'm ready to get banned
+++incense_Omnissiah=Dmgonimpact
hahaha
I'm filthy euroscum, we aren't allowed guns to play with 😦
you'd like to point out something unrelated?
why do you keep talking about orks?
I’d like to point out that the universe never made sense, and wdym keep, it’s the first time I mentioned it
Quick question, is Investigation mission type in current rotation on the EU one? (or are all servers the same?)
We don't know. not seen it. Good luck 🙂
i think it out of rotation at the moment, few people mentioned it and i havent seen it in a couple days?
Never saw it once since I started over the weekend at least
Yeah hence I tried asking in here instead. Thanks for confirming it guys
yeah, sorry we can't confirm 100%
Does anyone know what causes the pysker lighting staff to apply the dot?
darktide dev we need a respone emperor grace us
Nothing as far as I know
Is there a way to make a lobby without bots?
A blessing maybe?
Nope
Besides having 4 players
I've had the dot apply on multiple different stats, just not consistently, I'm assuming crit. But I was curious if anyone knew for sure
Not currently, it's coming after launch
how do you complete Just a Flesh Wound? git gud? that seems ridiculously hard lol
idk which one that is but chances are it's just some poorly designed bullshit like alot of the other penances
Remind me which one that is
the one where you do a heresy or higher mission within 10 minutes with only 1 wound remaining 75% of the time
You cheat
Unrelated: I have a lvl 30 zealot but started leveling Ogryn. Lvl 12 or so now. What’s the best way not to be an Bullet sponge for me team, specifically with match made pugs. In tight spaces I put my back against the wall and swing at the door frame so I’m not blocking the thing. And I try to hug a wall when moving. But what do you guys think.
how so? because that seems so sweaty that ill never be able to do it legit and i need me helmet
So you have to get downed once and then run the mission in less than 10 minutes?
how long does 'one after another' vet feat reload boost last?
gee I sure to love penances that encourage people to play like idiots :^)
You can’t beat a Heresy Mission in 10min. People were able to beat it with an exploit via running a Heresy mission, surviving for like 5 min then dying.
yeah pretty much
Because the penance counted a failed mission as complete for some reason
is that still doable?
half of the penances encourage people to play like complete morons and the other half are borderline/actually impossible
Nah just this one is actually impossible without the exploit
i normally dont like to cheese things like that but thats just absolutely bonkers
I don't understand what Collateral is.
The rest just require a 4 stack
Shooting through enemy
anyone figure out the fastest way to level up yet?
Ye you’ll have to wait til release and see what strats and better gear come out if you wanna do it legit
95% of the penances are just straight up "Ok this time you are going to grief those poor random fucks like this!"
everyone that i've seen that has it quickplayed into a game at the end
Hitting multiple targets with one bullet
Get a dagger, run difficulty 1s
oh lovely, all heresy missions STILL have the unending horde bug
but theyd still have to get downed once somehow
Or just come in with reduced HP
yeah, they just run into some mobs
is a monstrosisty a boss?
yep
Weird things happen when you take over a bots body
ill have to figure it out later when i can get on, thats an insane achievement, theyll prob end up changing it eventually
also the big slug and yogurt monster
holy crap how r u suppose to do the psyker penace then
A 4 stack and patience
I’m not sure if the exploit still works or not 🤷🏻♂️
In my limited experience that's honestly about the most you can do. If you are consciously trying to avoid blocking lines of fire you are already doing pretty good.
You can also just push up when you have openings to do so, if you aren't going to get crossfired horribly using your dash as a gap closer to lock down ranged mobs isn't always a bad idea.
As of yesterday I had one zealot beg everyone to leave or die so he could get it. So it was still working yesterday
Ah
Don't stand in front of them and go kill things. If you're killing things and someone complains about you blocking shots then they're a moron, as they should simply shoot at something else.
what zealot exploit r yall talkin about?
wait how do u complete a heresy mission in 10 minutes level 3 missions take at least 20
Sonic mode activated
Which one? (collateral or damage?)
I consecrated the trait (hence the higher rating.. and I would do it again).
complete =/= win
literally ignore the stat bars until they're changed to actually be representative of something
you're better off trying to decipher hieroglyphics
The stat bars do represent something though, no? Didn't J_Sat drop a whole half hour lecture on the subject?
Thanks! No one has complained yet, but that’s something I noticed playing with other ogryn’s. We’ll be at a choke and their in front tanking and a sniper or flamer will appear and instead of collapsing or covering they’ll be in the way of the vet trying to head hunt
WeaponTypes are identical.
Only the stats bars are different.
Stuck with a 7/7 vantage point that won't 'complete.. anyone else?
They represent things, and the degree to which they changed the things they represent is entirely arbitrary
OK so apparently level 14 is when veterans git gud
get out your calipers I suppose if you want to compare things
for the just a flesh wound penace do i need to have 1 wound or do all my bars need to be wounds except 1
Don't forget you have to be at 1 wound remaining for >75% of the time.
Guide for new Darktide players and veterans alike explaining how weapon stats and stat bars work and how damage is calculated. B
HUGE thanks to Manshanko (who helped me with too many things to name), to CommissarTyr for his excellent armor type representations and more.
https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/z2pn4t/enemy_breed_armour_types...
They do but it’s not understood how much they affect the gameplay
Weapon base = the stats | The bars on represent the value on of the base
Cause its been kinda painful so far
14 is when vet gets the powersword and, what I assume is the good recon lasgun (the one I currently have is ehhhh at best)
can someone help me do the just a flesh wound penance 😦
If an ogryn is literally just standing in the way then they're being stupid. If an ogryn is blocking a shot because they're actively engaged in melee for example then the ogryn isn't doing anything wrong and everyone else should adjust.
The 'slow' firing recon?
@feral gust I think the green will be stronger than the Blue. The green is showing 319 with the blue at 335. They gain power off of weapon base + passives + traits so the blue is only really higher because it has a trait. I think the blue having such a low value for damage will most likely underperform compared to the green
is ''Wound'' a health bar?
Yes
Hard to say, I've only used one and it seems to shoot pretty fast with basically zero recoil
thank you 
so i have to have 1 health bar for 75% of the time then die?
It's a segment of your healthbar yeah
or fail the mission
Each section of your healthbar is a 'wound' which means how many times you can be knocked down before insta-death
Yes
The sections of health. It's giving you more chances to down before you're 'Black and White'/ just die instantly. It's related to corruption
I consecrated the trait .. which I will do again .. just asking about the bars....
I suppose it's whether you expect to snipe or fire into hordes
There's a couple versions of the Recon rifle, think the first one is the fast firing version but there's another that unlocks which is half fire-rate but twice the damage and same ammo count
Yeah basically each time you go down one of those segments gets filled with corruption, so if it is more heavily divided via extra wounds, each down has less impact. E.g. two wounds means if you go down, you just lost half your health, if you have 5 wounds, you only lose 20%
how can i find a group to help me with just a flesh wound penace
make friends
very difficult process
OK yeah for how much people were saying the recon las rules, I've found it prettttty tepid. The XII seems much better. Could just be that I have a low level item
Anyone wanna help me complete the cliffhanger penance?
damn that's the hardest penance ive heard all day
Is there a particularly good spot to try for the Ogryn 100 enemy charge penance? And does it necessarily need the extra distance feat to get it?
I would do it on my own, but this just makes my morale drop through the floor
It doesn't necessarily need it, but it certainly helps.
It's great for trash mobs and headshooting things but only in bursts before the recoil starts going nuts
They should change the penances so that it's a total not all at once.
what kinda blessings should I be looking for in a MG XII?
The psyker tasks are cancer...
And then just redo the dumb ones like 'psyker solo a monster'
Yup
Hello, sorry if it got asked already, but do I need to buy the highest gearscore in the shop in order to have better gear next times? For example I got a 415 rating blue rifle in the store right now which is higher than my 412 rating staff. Even though I don't need that rifle, do I need to buy to have better stuff available next times??? Or it's completely unrelated?
Oh actually that reminds me, I assume that other people are getting the bug (I assume) where if you're using a semi auto las that it will occassionally shoot like 3 times and go super wonky with its aim?
so ill just ask again do you guys think this is worth upgrading to orange or should I just wait for a better drop/melk gun?
I had a guy throw my penance today because "he didn't want to sacrifice the mission"
I asked beforehand, the ogryn and the other guy agreed to help
It seems to help increase the window the shop can refresh to.
And when we finally had a horde on that chasm bridge, he proceeded to yeet a grenade into the group
I don't THINK this is the case - unless they've changed things. I had a 400 staff and force sword as my highest gear in those slots and had 475s turn up in the mark store
anyone know which map is D-17? i cant find the map for weekly
I would reroll map specific quests
If I can translate, you're asking if Rating of items in your inventory that are not equipped raised the max Rating that appears in shop?
They aren't always in rotation
Who's mark? 
i cant reroll the quest for some reason
The items in the shop are sort of random inside the invisible gear rating window.
Yes!
I understand. Thanks for the input! I have never played a Tide game before so I’m still learning some of the enemy types, mechanics and how the other classes work. So I do appreciate it man.
I think this is ok? the scriptures I'm not sure about
You’ll be fiiiiiine
The scriptures would be the one to replace, the rest are easily achieved through normal play.
I swear I've shot mobs THRU a teammate, even though the blue hit indicator flashed.
Any advice for getting the grenade pennance done?
Which Grenade penance
So to clarify for everyone, having Higher Rated items in your inventory than you have equipped DOES NOT influence the rating that the Shop repopulates with?
which one?
Vet or zealot?
The one for the helmet. The three in one without bouncing
Or ogryn come to think of it
does anyone know if Zealot heresy penance is still doable without completing the mission?
use the quick throw and GO PRACTICE IN PSYKHANIUM
Vet
The one for the armor? Ye it should still be
Look for any map with a large open area with a downward path, then chunk the grenade on a high arc towards stationary enemies.
Seriously, it is genuinely very easy once you practice it
yeah i was kinda wondering if veterans worked the same
Quick throw? What's that?
No one answering me 😞
It does affect it up to 400 iirc
Left click but don't hold
Just LMB, dont aim. If you get the green line showing your throw path you're doing it wrong
tap LMB
I use controller.
Then tap it
Its a much shorter range, much shorter throw
oh okay.
It does, at least to my experience
Thanks guys.
Seriously though, go practice in the psykhanium
The Zealot one is a lot more fun/cool imo
That's the alternate throw
Stun a sniper from 40m with a stun grenade :p
Oh true the zealot has two grenade penances
I did it on damnation like 10 hours ago ao probably yeah
Need to get my poor Kruber hat. Kruber is not happy without a hat.
The kill 50 stunned boiz is easy peasy if you used the bug haha
The second one, *and kill 50 mobs, is borked and needs +4 missions
OK so zealot bug
Currently the combat knife has a blessing called lacerate
It applies bleed on non weakpoint hits
But it applies to ALL hits, not just knife hits
Or wait do you mean with Haymaker?
Not really a bug, unless the bleed is supposed to stop
Oh.. iddn't know that
Like 50 bleeds
LMAO
so just stack the 3 nades you have
Bleed triggers more bleed
Dano you know about Haymaker and Bleed tho right?
lol that is so broken
Meaning if you hit literally anything while you have the knife equipped, it will eventually die
You can even bonk bulwarks shields and they die I think
Haymaker is the +x% chance to instantly kill an enemy on hit, stacks to 5. Thing is, it’ll proc off bleed hits too.
Only works on human sized enemies but
👀
Oh shid I need to get that
Literally can nuke a horde
Itll help with the shitty full heal penance
Yeeeeee the two I see are Lacerate with Haymaker or Mercy Killing
The full heal is easy, get a GIANT HORDE, get low, dump a bolter into the crowd
The splash damage will heal you up too
Yeah honestly I tried doing it with a knife a bunch of times and I've managed to get like 94%
But I think I just need to use an evi
Problem is if you get literally a single point of corruption you're boned
is this map released yet?
TRUE
I kept getting into the perfect situation and a burster will ruin it, or a mutant will come and stunlock me
Yeah it’s probably just not on rotation
Had me tilted honestly. I just said I'd do it organically eventually
ok
You could use bombs and canisters to lower your HP artificially
And using the right talents
Yeah honestly one of the biggest hurdles was worrying about randoms joining and ruining it
Since I cant solo queue
Anyone know exactly what is the maximum for blue/green/gray item ratings?
around 480-500
Tbh the healing one is the only one I have left
But I’ve just been having fun with my knife and crit/bleed
not the question lol
Yeah holy smokes the knife build, even without the cheesy busted bits is super fun
Dashing for the crit helps
you're just so dam fast
Oh for sure, you can hold a horde so hard
I can breeze through 3s without a care with the knife
It is very funny just one tapping specials and then running off knowing they'll die
Yeah honestly, I'm looking forward to the inevitable balance revision cause at the moment 3 is too easy and 4 is WAY too big a jump in difficulty
If you have a full team its manageable
Yeah
But it is a VERY significant jump
It is a jump ye
I'm not sure if they'll nerf difficulty or just buff us
Tbh one of the biggest things people need to learn in this game is sounds
There’s a sound when an enemy is about to hit you from off screen, and you can dodge preemptively to avoid it
4 isn't bad. Its about the same as legend on vermintide 2. once you unnderstand the games mechanics it becomes alot easier
Also dogs and mutant timing is way borked
Yeah I disagree on that
I've got all the black skins in VT
Dogs aren’t too hard, just have to time your shove
I think it might be a lag thing or something
I laugh at the dogs cause a good shove screws them
Can you bump Mutants? I've never managed it
Cause mutants and dogs I will literally see them go past me
No
But I still go down
pox bursters deciding that sometimes they dont wanna get shoved is teh worst
Mutants won’t stop for anything, even explosions afaik
sometimes it works and you live, othertimes it doesnt and your team wipes
That's what I thought
surge staff
Ah, good to know. I don’t play Psyker
Yeah honestly, once you hit 4s, mutant becomes probably my most hated enemy
The timing on the dogs didn't feel too bad for me. But they feel like they have a really bad case of the quantum superposition shit gutter runners would do.
is 500 really the max for a grey gun? 0_o
I still hate trappers the most because they catch so many people out
Especially when there’s multiple, I had 3 spawn in a row once
Again, if their timing wasn't screwy, it wouldn't be so bad.
Also yeah, dogs being able to miss you, turn 180, run away 3 metres, turn 180 again, then pounce you is a tad broken
Ye that’s why I stopped dodging them and I shove them
No, I don’t think so
Yeah I'm shoving them too
trappers need some changes
Lol
ive heard many contradicting values
mostly they need to stop leaving the playable area to reload
whats the max grey item rating?
trappers are mostly fine the range of the net just needs lowered a bit and they need to fix the sound cue to fire at the same time the net comes out
The big problem with trappers a lot of the time is that there's a fuggin bulwark in the way and you can't see them, you cant shoot them and if you're unlucky and have the audio bug like me, you don't know when they're ACTUALLY shooting
trappers and bombers should not be running out of bounds every 5 seconds
What even kills mutants effectively? Maybe I'm just using bad damage types for them but my god the tkk on them it's ridiculous.
high damage melee specials
I got another idea. Make them freak out if you get into melee, move towards them.
Yeah chainsword or force sword will usually work
To stop a mutant
But sometimes they just decide nah
Dodge and slap with a chainsword rev up
It’ll probably die
ive had a few times when someone gets surprise netted near a door, then the trapper leaves, and cant be killed. THen someone comes and picks the guy up, but right before they finish, trapper pops out and nets them too, and runs away again
Thé chainsword with zealot dash was how I got that penance done
Basically the only thing that kills a mutant is a clip of bolter haha
Priority, always kill the enemy first
if they run out of bounds, you literally cant, thats the problem
I'll try melee more then. I feel like ogryn doesn't have amazing single target melee burst
OOHH that door
I definitely knew I was doing something wrong when dumping literally half a stubber mag into it didn't do jack shit
Yeah this is some A grade chicanery, see it often enough that it definitely needs to be resolved
bombers are just as bad at it, but dont insta-down someone so its not as critical, but just as irritating when they pop out of a door, throw a bomb, then disappear again
If they are within quick throw grenade distance and reachable by the PCs, they shouldn't be allowed to dip back into a door
My solution to this is, bring a flamer and set the floor around the door on fire
It’ll stagger him I think
Club is pretty good at it, at least his best option imo
hmmm
I've been using shovel so far, I'll give club a few runs
What is the "Supression" stat? "Clears Supression (Self) and grants Suppression Immunity (Self) for 0.5 seconds"
Best ogryn melee for damage is unironically a ranged weapon. The grenadier gauntlet.
Every hit with it, even light attacks, bleed enemies with the perk for bleed on heavy.
when enemies shoot at you and your gun wobbles alll over so you cant hit anything
Club also bonks all the other specials nicely if you have the chance to
I think I've been soured on a few weapon types by bad rolls early on.
It's pretty crazy just how much they actually vary.
ahh, thats a shit perk
- What's the limit on 'consecrations'.
2, Is there a 'critical failure', will it break current consecrations?
It goes up to orange/yellowish
- Gold quality
- No
Does a good chunk of damage to ragers as well, better than other weapons I've tested briefly
I got a stubber with a better stability and range roll and suddenly it felt like a different gun
it can be pretty great, just headshot someone close, then pop out of cover and pop all the ranged guys shooting ya. Altho IMO it could use a longer duration, half a second is barely long enough to shoot once
Fill up the orange bars
I wonder if the Shrine of the Omnissiah is just the crafting station, and the achievement doesn't work properly, or if it's something new
Shredder stat on the chain weapons is so important to murder specials
Ehhhh I wouldn’t
It’s not a great roll
Look for something 460+
im stuck with shitty warhammers
Momentum is good
wait, Kwazi? Mordhau Kwazi?
does the rating of a weapon directly effect its damage?
Thrust, I don't know
Which one of these is better for upgrading?
Is this 'Infernus' I've been hearing about only at 'Gold'?
I guess you'd be using heavies on horde clear so it might be OK
Yeah, sup bro
god small world
It affects the stat rolls and affects the amount of stats that can be rolled into damage so sorta
okay will have to wait a while then
Top one probably
Crit is useful as Zealot
I still think toughness on multihit is essential for evisc
Melee gamers unite to kill rats and heretics
wish those stats had actual numbers and not that weird bar
Ye but Evis has terrible base crit
They’re changing it soon
I'm uniting here to bitch about the melee combat until it's hopefully changed to be more like VT2
my efforts have not been going well so far
yeah im running knife bleed & crit80% build atm
I believe the bonus to crit is additive, so that is a good perk
Your crit is 80%
Whats the max rating a blue weapon could have?
yeah i can dm you how
Hmm.. It's Shredder vs Cleave. Depends on playstyle.
Cleave is for crowd control
Shredder is for Bulwarks/Maulers
I mean yeah but at max it’s still only like 22% vs Dagger gets like 30% base
is this good
Plasma guns are bad at the mo
I imagine this will change on release/balance patch
yeah I thought max was 500 idk
Combat feels alright enough to me tbh outside of the stupid stuff popping up behind you, maybe dodge could be more fluid rather than relying on spamming slide like dodge
Lucky bastard 😂
is there any guide for what the good weapon effects are?
If you're in NAPC, someone recently posted in the melee talk channel with alot of concerns that I share :^)
it's in the shop lol, 3k premium currency
Depends entirely on the class and playstyle you want to have
I’d say buy it just to flex on people lol
maybe for the rating? and then change blessings once the new crafting systems are installed. not sure what's good on plasma
@high cairn i DM you
Plus it has Elites and Specialists meaning it does bonus damage to all enemy types
what you think?
at what power rating should one consider crafting something?
What blessings do you guys like on the Kantrael? these all seem like they suck
yeah I guess one question is how high is 509
high
Holy shid, dat ammo
You only get two clips at full ammo
and thats with high ammo stat
seems like a great roll on a weapon that struggles, if it ever gets buffed who knows
Dano I need to DM you something
OK all good
have all the missions been in rotation yet trying to complete last penance
Im looking forward to them buffing plasma. I haven't even unlocked it yet, but hearing its weak makes me sad
yea i agree with a lot of his concerns in particular the stun after block being broken
melee god has good opinions, as expected
Does the blessing Opening Salvo give +5% power on the first bullet shot out of the mag or the first bullet that hits an enemy?
did they change the time to die at 100% today
Yes, they all have been at one point or another
I agree, the toughness break stagger and block stagger both need adjustment imo
Especially since it makes grenadiers way more dangerous than they should be
Cause explosion staggers you
Then your toughness breaks on the first tick which staggers you
Then you're slowed
yeah you just get locked for a good chunk of hp
also getting staggered out of ogryn charge is one of the worst feelings i have ever felt
Thats why they shout grenade and it flashes then explodes, gotta run
Yeah same with zealot getting frozen in place during charge because they got shot twice
Not always possible
You shouldn't get staggered twice
And if you're sliding, you shouldn't get glued to the floor
It isnt always gonna be possible, but they do have a huge tell
I agree with sliding part
I'm just saying there's problems with the mechanics of the explosion and how it affects movement
How do people spam slide, sometimes I see players sliding and immediately standing up then slide again
Love the perks and blessing on this badboy. Started using it while anticipating the Recon Las VId nerfs lol.
any tips for not getting hit besides just git gud? I always get hit at least a couple times a mission, mostly from lone guys sneaking up behind me and when theres a big horde I inevitably get hit
Also does blocking count as getting hit
What class?
As long as your health doesnt go down it isnt a hit i believe
Also what melee weapon
Watch a bunch of vermintide videos on dodging. In melee you wanna attack, push dodge, attack properly.
just dodge spam around the horde your facing and if you cant do that dodge backwards
Oh right you mean for the penance
Hey guys, i main as a psyker. Need some advice. Really like daggers in this game and had just gotten this - wonder if its worth upgrading
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/786208719200583710/1046914875584159764/image.png
what if I get hit in overshield by the plaguebearers
if all that fails, start pushing
alr
If your health goes down even from corruption i think its counted as a hit
if that all fails, it likely means you are facing a horde and are cornered and you are probably screwed
but what if my overshield gets hit and my health doesnt go down
also what is "hit mass" btw, my sword ignores it apparently
Build what you like! If you think its working for you I'd do it. Personally I find force swords as the more useful piece of kit. I tried using the combat knife and wasn't too big a fan
Buy to upgrade, yay or nay?
Your options are unfortunately alot more limited than VT2, you still play the same way but alot of mechanical nerfs make it alot more difficult to avoid damage
- ranged bastards
I believe your safe then, but melee will always do atleast 1 dmg even at full shield
The witch are not back yet?
oh
yeah i really like the mobility with it, just curious about the actual stats on this mentioned dagger also
Alright so
I'm a level 20 preacher
And the flamer has NEVER appeared in the shop for me
its a nice dagger, but at the moment force sword with ranged block is kind of the best option. If you do better with a dagger though, then that's better
What do I have to do- sell my soil to be graced with a flamer?
Gedda bolter, its probably better anyway haha
no you just get to enjoy Fatshark's amazing new gearing system, complete with revolutionary "never get what you actually want" technology
VT2's system worked a bit too well, so it had to go
Seems like it
Hit mass is how much a specific enemy takes out of your cleave.
Like for instance the zombie type swarm enemies have very low hitmass and the guardsmen type swarm enemies have much higher.
So the same swing will hit more of one than the other
Does hitting an ally count at 100% accuracy?
No point bagging on the loot system until release really - we don't know what they have planned to help mitigate RNG
Well
You can still bag on it
nope
But like, keep in mind its likely not final
I'd lean to 'yes'. The damage bonus to flak is pretty pointless, but bleed on non weakpoint hits? Hell yes
Psyker's good at prioritising major targets. I find force sword does it better than the knife. But do you!
Thx
do melee hits count for that penance?
Thanks guys
I have a pretty simple question: How significant are the stats from guns (Damage, stability etc) in practice?
For example, i'm a level 15 Sharpshooter and got myself a Bolter.
Said Bolter had pretty good stats for my rank except for stability. After I yeeted it into a mission i realised that there is so much sway after a shot that missing a sniper with the first round is lethal.
Now i'm seeing a second Bolter in the store with double the stability but half reload and basically the same on everything else.
Is that significant enough to make an actual difference in performance?
But it only appeared on my vet
The 100% accuracy? no, just the gun. you can melee and miss no prob
alr thank you
it'll drop. Eventually. I'm still agonising over the lasrifle in the shot.
best would be shotgun
Also what does alt shotgun fire do?
So I had the same eviscirator that I got at like level 8, I finally found a good replacement at around 27 and the damage difference was about 20%. I can't remember what the bar comparison was on damage
I think it was around 50% full vs 85%
hammerblow (10% impact x5 on hit for 1.5s) or ignores hit mass on critical hit for 2s, thoughts? (sword)
Crap, I forgot to say
upgraded 😄
the lasrifle I'm looking at upgrading (see above) is for a vet
I wish the bars were more like
numbers instead of bars
Numbers and bars
Like dafuq does a 50% full bar mean?
On bolter its a kicker anyway but it would make a difference yeah
Zealots jealous RN
The damage bar in its stats
It was about 50%
Nothing of importance. Fortunately enough people have complained about how stupid the stats are that FS has said they're going to be changing it.
Whether they change it to actually be good will be the question
But yeah what does the alt fire for shotguns do?
damn
With that being said, is a Chainaxe even worth it if i have a power sword? Power sword with the ability seems to have infinite cleave
I'll take that as no one knows
lasrifle, camo, pewpew.
no better feeling than playing as vet with boltgun and emptying my entire load into an ogryn
I think itll tell you if you inspect? i cant remember
I think its either wider spread for horde or closer spread for focus
I wish the crosshair changed for the shot tho
Chain axe seems pretty bad, whereas power sword is basically agreed to be the best melee in the game at the moment
Do we know what time the beta will end tomorrow?
Oh I thought that it meant that the shot itself had wider spread because it was simply a shotgun
Heresy espionage or disruption missions 
Its worth it for the fun factor but PwS is OP a little rn
Do you mean when release drops, or when the game goes down for maintenance?
Also one of the psyker missions seems utterly retarded
The sword would pretty much drain my entire money pool
People who think there are pre-designated "roles" for certain classes to fill are morons and should be ignored. The objective of the game is to get to the end of the mission without dying, which is primarily a function of personal damage dealt and damage received. He should get good and quit relying on others to cover him.
axe*
when the game goes down for maintenance
The one where they must fight the monsters 1 on 1
Yeah psykers kind of got the shaft on penances
Unsure - I don't think they've specified
Premade group is basically the only wya
do we get any more crafting resources on higher difficulties?
Friend of mine got it in 5 minutes on the boss at level 30, it's not that bad but it's pretty bad
hey lads, lil question, whats is "wound" the weapon stat, what does it do ?
Did you have to co-ordinate with your entire team to not shoot the monster at all?
You can always have your friends kill non boss enemies so you can focus. I do really wish they'd make it 95% damage, rather than 100
Cause like a stray shotgun pellet is enough to ruin it
it's why I swear by camo for veteran-so much ignores you, allowing you to focus on the few ranged shooting you, then the rest of the ranged stuff
Divides your health bar by an extra bar so you lose less health when downed and have more downs total
@fading tree 2 in a premade+2 randos, they just asked the randoms to help
Okay Holy balls this would be impossible with random players
oh shit thanks
You can never truly know if camo is working, but it works better than you think
I would HIGHLY recommend getting level 30 before trying it in the first place
Alrighty
100% anecdotally it sure feels like there are more. But that might just be because of people actually checking boxes and corners instead of full sprinting through.
depends if you get people who dont mind helping. many randos have been very kind when I ask for penance help
I switch builds up too much to remember when I have camo or not, but it’s good when you play around it
Anyone know why I have yet to see an investigation mission in like 3 days
Oh god for a while I was suffering with immense lag
for diamant max malice is 45, max heresy is >150, idk about damnation
To the point where i couldn't walk backwards
This choncler was complaing because I wasn't able to walk backwards during a fight, I told him my issues
Hey, might be in the wrong channel, but has anyone figured out the approximate stat total ranges for weapon tiers yet?
Or at the very least what the upper level limit is for white tier gear?
I'm assuming 350.
got this in shop and highest ive personally seen thus far
And he responded with "Well just turn your mouse walk in a circle"
how am I meant to walk in a circle when I'm being surrounded by pox walkers who want to give me a kiss?
Perks = 25 each (2 max, 50pts total)
Blessings = 50 each (2 max, 100pts total)
500 Gear score max total.
presumption right now is 400, here’s a 376 axe, not mine
Anyone know if investigation missions are not in the game right now or something?
Oh dang!
So maybe 550 or 600 is the GS max?
I've had some VERY weird lag in that vein also.
Where it feels like the game just starts deciding for you which direction you are going to walk.
Thanks, I'll keep saving my cash then for incremental stat total upgrades then.
nobody knows yet
what does +x% on salvo's first shot mean?
560 in theory, based off a 400 grey item
Please , guardsman , be reasonable
Boltgun have shit tone of recoil or extremely slow firing rate , even your skill won’t change it .
If you want to deal with long range shit , take lasgun , if close and sometimes longer , autogun , but leave bolters for priests they are always in close range to an enemy and can use they’re weapons good
perks and blessings prolly give rating based on tier of the them
+X% Bonus on first shots in one volley. You need to stop firing for a minimum amount of time before firing again to get the bonus again.
Easiest way to make sure you've waited long enough is to switch weapons and switch back again.
like I think blessing can go up to a tier 4 version
END MISSION CRASH seems to be fixed! I just finished a mission right now without crashing
thanks, is it a good blessing to have?
Please , guardsman , be reasonable
Boltgun have shit tone of recoil or extremely slow firing rate , even your skill won’t change it .
If you want to deal with long range shit , take lasgun , if close and sometimes longer , autogun , but leave bolters for priests they are always in close range to an enemy and can use they’re weapons good
it needs more recoil and less ammo
I'm more of a lasgun kind of guy
It definitely seems to affect different people more. I crash fairly rarely
Depends what gun, and what % it's affecting.
But good to hear its working better for you
i need my krieg cosmetics
Say it to every third high lv guard
so I can play as my fav regiment
I said it in a mission once and got flamed lmao
i'm just glad i got a good mk2 helbore, mk1/mk3 are just too ammo innefficient for their own good
I noticed the MK2 uses less yeah
mg xii +13%
... i'd still use the mk3 for the bayonet slash if it didn't have that awkward delay between swings tho
Bolters are good on vet, having that extreme burst is very useful in a lot of situations. Also Psyker can handle extreme range specials
Sorry I mean crit chance, or damage, what?
oh sorry, power, whatever that means
Hi guys! quick question, does the mission for the vet where he can`t get hit in melee counts when you drops in via quickmatch in an ongoing mission, or you have to be in control from the start?
Lol
You better off with an zealots with em rather then vet , because main point of vet is fire support and doing it with that thing is … complex
I think that exploit got patched, but I can't confirm since I already completed it myself
Not the exploit, i mean the legit way. I`m just worried i have to be on from the start, and not drop in an ongoing game from quickplay
MG XII my beloved
Like, if i join a running game i already know it`s not going to count
I assume power means damage
Vets use them much better. They have increased reload speed talent, and plus 50% damage on F AND a talent to instant reload on F
I rejoined at the end and it did counted
I get what you're saying, but vet using bolter isn't bad at all
my man
Power ive heard is an overall buff to most/all stats. dunno how accurate that is though
bolter is too fun not to use
Its just midrange vs long range and the vet doesn't HAVE to be long range
heres my baby
is there a list of weapon perks anywhere? i see a site that has blessings but they don't have those little mini perks
It's all kind of moot anyway, since things will get balanced on/post release
Like no way is plasma gun supposed to be that weak
Issue isn’t in skills , issue in use of weapon itself, bolter is horde cleaner for close range push or as last chance weapon to vipe big boop of elite
Wat
And have very limited amo
I liked the bolter at first, but the combination of sights, sway and that bolt racking every time you equip it kills it for me. plus by the time I take it out and rack it I've already killed 4 dudes with my lasgun
Who uses bolter for horde clear?
On my zealot I would only shoot into a horde in an emergency
People sure love objective statements that are actually 100% opinion
Anyone who noices it’s penetration capability?
In a pinch itll wipe em out
there’s only a handful of lanes you can’t ads down and reliably hit exactly what you want
6 round and it’s gone
if you use vet ability there’s no such lane
I think everyone who sucks at vet and thinks the bolter is bad uses their ranged weapon to clear hordes
since you get extra zoom
she's beautiful, you're a lucky man
sounds legit
I will shoot into a horde if there are elites near the back or if its menacing a party member who is in trouble
We all know melee-only Veteran is the way to go.
Other than that, its basically exclusively for special use
I even consecrated for that 2nd blessing, the emperor was with me then
Vet has more leeway with ammo
I think I’m sick of dumb fuckers using it shit and just to them turn to melee and destroy 4 rank run again
But if they're wanging it into trash, they're wasing ammo
I wish the emperor blesses me as well. I have faith
I understood what all of those words meant seperately
lmao
Anyone know if there's any work-arounds or fixes for getting errors 2007?
what exact time do the servers close?
TBD O'clock
Oh great the only available scripture mission is damnation
weh
Is Demolition Team ment to be onlly Elite Kills? Or is it a bug?
Time to become a man
I'm not too shabby but I'm no pro either
wait what
Only difference between you and pros is that the pros have failed more times than you have tried
By my experience, in 3/4 cases when I encounter guard with an bolter , he /she or whatever, creates issues , it’s always different shit , once fucker generally sucked and was shity in shooting , killing and anything , other person just used all the amo and was hoarding any he had found just to use it on anything , other it was same case then second but he screamed valhalla or something pull out his power sword and died in middle of moving carking energy cell for ventilation
ok chat hear me out what if ?
Generally , whenever I encounter boltgun vet , i have a feeling that something gonna go shity , and mostly it does
Most people are just bad right now no matter what weapon they use.
Lasgun vets know their duty.
Autogun vets are decent mostly
If they don’t use headhunter vracks mk 1
How does "Opening Salvo" work on a semi-auto weapon?
I've never seen those guys doing their job of killing ranged units but I'm also on the team with them doing that so not my biggest concern
I queued, guy joined and left after 6 seconds
I tried
I wish anyone knew how opening salvo worked exactly. Is it the first bullet that hits the enemy or the first bullet fired from a gun after reload?
Boltgun is really difficult to aim. It does that annoying thing where the sights point one way, but because of sway the bolt simply does not go where the sights say the bolt should.
Even with near max stability I get staggered a lot.
I assume it is meant to be the fist bullet on a burst from a burst-fire gun. Hence there's also a blessing that buffs the "second and third shot".
Just... it's semi-auto.
I figured that if you fire repeatedly, subsequent shots count as "in the same salvo?"
When I was one i was doing so pretty casually? Braced haya and Agripina works well in most combat ranges even against single targets , then again , I’m Lucius guardsman now
And I hunt for abominations
someone posted awhile back that there’s an internal cooldown on it, you need to stop firing for ~1s to get the benefit again
that's actually pretty good if true
i can’t confirm, probably should test in the meat grinder
hmm could be good on lucius if charging counts as waiting
Boltgun is understandably clunky but imo the inability to swap easily to it makes it worse than a lasgun. As zealot, I see an elite or special out of reasonable sprint range and by the time I get my boltgun ready, a teammate has killed them, they've killed me, or I could have killed them with a lasgun.
Don’t Strafe skips animation ?
what
I just hate that getting staggered by boss or smth makes you re rack the bolt again
I believe strafing to the left or right skips initial animation with bolt down allowing you to shoot straight off?
Rate my bolter
if you cancel the firing with a dodge it feels like it resets the sway faster, it definitely doesn’t skip it though
lasgun mk12 rise up
its trash, give it to me
how do you even do this
I hav same but better
8/10 rating could be higher plus no specialist/elite bonus trait
Bridge + Horde
holding X
no, gimme
but my team will just kill them
just broken blessing description lol
Beg every team to let a horde close for you on a bridge until you get a team that will
hey guys did i miss something or is this the 10missions we got?
so i am suppose to yell to my team to let me complete this challenge 😭
try looking in the lfg channel
My testing in the meat grinder found it to be roughly a 1 sec window for the next shot fired to count as part of the same salvo.
LFG for Penance Challenges in #vox-lfg-nasa
sometimes theres people that advertise pennance runs
(or whatever region is best for you)
non bolter vets unite
okay
No YeLlInG!!!11
fr..
just maxxed vet and psyker, which one should i play next: zealot or ogryn?
Такой вопрос "несгибаемые враги" кто это.
Such a question is "inflexible enemies" who they are.
He meant unyielding imo
Mostly the ogryns
But wtv, I think we got the idea
sorry Unyielding
nope
if you go into the psykhanium it show what the enemy types are
Plague ogryns are monstrosities the normal ones aren't
make sense
Why killing them counts as killing monstrosity ?
they arn't montrosities tho
Okay but the question was which are the unyielding ones? 
they are their own category lol
ogryns arent monstrosities
Only bosses are
Plague ogryns, beast of nurgle, assassination targets
yes
Reapers Bulwarks Crushers are ogryn category
I thought daemonhosts counted
well it's a boss so yes
Strange
And what does "Rending" do? I'm sorry I'm not clear, I'm using google translator
Vet has a feat that allows 50% damage increase to ogryns and monstrosities during volley fire
How did I killed 3 of them in one run when we faced only 1 plague ogryn then ?
Because a plague ogryn is a monstrosity
The other ogryns are not
Plague Ogryn is a boss
I do have 3 monstrosity killed in my list
Bosses are monstrosities
After killing 1
Beast of Nurgle is also a monstrosity
Same with any Boss like the one you face in assassination missions
rending is armor penetration
I carking saying to you , why then it gave me 3 instead of 1
Because you killed other bosses???
No
Plague ogryns arent the only monstrosities
We had 1 boss and then just clear out mission
Thanks
It was raid so we didn’t killed officer
Bro Reapers, Bulwarks and crushers are not Monstrosities
And we faced only 1 monster
I’m telling you what fucking happened
Either it is big
*bug
They are not monstrosities
Or something works strange
Stop acting up
Lol
Ur trying to argue that they are monstrosities we are telling u they are not
Saying "Well how come i have 3 kills now??" doesnt prove anything
Or make them monstrosities
Your ass is acting up , I’m telling about strange shit that happens , same as when bot throws away scripture after appearing
U need to take some fresh air
I just told u 4 times what u need to kill
Maybe if u stop trying to argue and re read what i say
It say monstrosities, I killed 1 and but have 3 in em, it’s either bug or system is being strange
Weeklies have been reset since last night
Is the preacher Shocking achievement bugged?
I tried doing it thrice, and the 1/50 meter didn't change one bit 😦
I’m taking about new ones
You're telling me since last night you only killed one monstrosity
Not old ones
The new ones got reset last night
I’ve played today since 8 pm which for me was 3 hours ago
So don’t really changes much?
Either way
Power hammer or 2 handed chain sword?
combat knife lol
It’s actually decent , unironically
Shame it’s not really effective on armored targets even with max pen
I have a feeling assassination bosses count as monstrosities because I also apparently killed one but the mission I did never had one spawn
I didnt read beyond two scrolls lol sry
basically anything with the big hp bar that shows up is a monstrosity
My notes say hes an arch heretic, thats all they say
Hey is there a glossory somewhere that I haven't found in game that describes all the key words? Rending and Brittleness and the sort
Nope sadly, that would be helpful

Am I the only one who thinks the Lorenz Rumbler is one of the best ranged weapons for Ogryn?
The satisfying thunk when you dome an enemy, the huge AoE explosion that demolishes hordes or staggers elites/specials, fast reload, good ammo pool.
Is there anything useful to do with old gear? can you sell or deconstruct it?
Discarding it sells it, not sure deconstruct is planned.
;_;
grey gear can be saved for blessings if you are looking for a specific build
Rumbler is also unironically a big brain weapon for a small brain character. You can curve nades into spaces you normally can't shoot into or save teammates from behind walls.
buy high ilvl common items for later
highest ive seen in my shop so far has been a 345 shottie
1 more day mate.
Ah okay
I'm currently running into a repetitive issue. I have tanked the graphics settings, updated drivers, and done everything in the books to ensure my game won't crash, yet it persists. Has anyone found a work around or resolution to this problem?
Thanks
Anyone know any news on why there was no update today like they said there was supposed to be back on the 17th?
fastest game ever
So since the update with the Deamon host boss gets released I can't see any Blackout missions on the map
hey guys, for the twitch drop skins: in december will we be able to earn another copy of them or it will just be a rerun for the same skin?
Anyone know if counter fire is working?
Any good?
what are "infested enemies"? are those just the sickly trash mob people? or is it, all of nurgles kin?
yes
fair
poxwalkers, the ones that look like sick civies
noted
if you want to know for sure, go back to the 'tutorial' thing and use the bottom option for the shooting gallory
anyone else having issues replacing weekly contracts?
so I get one or two stacks from a partially charged heavy attack, right?
or I guess 15% is max, 5% per charge?
really hope they get the bonus damage to elites stuff fixed, at this point my green lasgun with a gear score of 200 is outperforming my 355 boltgun at killing elites
Also dogs are infected
My favourite armour type is Dreg Rager
Thanks for all the greys, Emperor >_>
There are like 3 or 4 specials that are listed as having "Dreg Rager" armour haha
How does Burn scale on a flame staff?
I think the dot starts at 20% of your highest damage tick
That was what I observed, but that's probably not correct
What's the known bugs with traits so far? I've heard of some knife bleed trait and elite damage
I'm trying to figure out if this is worth the upgrades. The burn is high.
Id recommend playing around with it in the psykhanium, it is surprisingly most effective on light/medium armoured targets
OH right
I imagine that is DoT strength?
Unsure though
VERY Worth
I would think so.
@cursive citrus currently elite damage is treating all single digit percentage buffs as 2 digit buffs. Example, 6% = 60%, whereas 10% = 10%
This is what I have at the moment and it melts.
Any particular reason?
That blessing is not very good
All stats good, damage is irrelevant
It's a low roll on it
Boom good copy. Tango Mike
Oops, somebody forgot a 0 in the calculations
its loooking that way, idk if its that way for all weapons, but i can verify its that way for a MK VII lasgun. This thing has no business 1 tapping things in the face as often as it does
Hello,
I Have a cathachan combat blade with flesh tearer perk
but perk description missing
It says
bespoke_bleed_on_crit_melee_desc....
so i wonder, did it adding bleed on crits or something else
uploading for reference in general chat.
efficiency sucks, imo, but other than that....i want
Yeah that is such a wasted perk. But ill switch it out once we can change blessings. May the emperor provide.
Oh WOW lmao. i think thats a lookup error
any idea what it does tho
at a guess I'd say "bleed_on_crit_melee"
uhh it gets reported to fat shark first before anything
oh dear someone forgot to enter values for that. hahaha. yeah, go report that on the forums.
Looks like it causes a bleed stack on melee critical, aye.
based on the rough syntax, im assuming it applies bleed on crit
Someone can tell me which are the missions you can do? I got 6 from 7 for the Penitance.
guessing the error is caused by it trying to define how many stacks are applied
I never see the last one.
so if its undefined, then either it will apply none, OR it will apply ALL OF THE BLEEDS
go slap things in the meat grinder with it and get back to us. im very curious to see what happens
When does the pre-order beta end?
I have done: Incursion, Strike, Perturbation, Repair, Spy, Assassination, what kind of mission I am missing?
disruption
need help qith a good ogrim build. I want to tank but it seems imposible
Disruption.
disruption is perturbation for him
Is there anyway to refresh the store? I have not found a combat blade besides the first day I’ve played.
store refreshes every hour
What was the scanning one called?
Investigation?
oh yeah I was saying that the mission icon is disruption. my b.
That’s what I’ve been doing is just waiting but I literally have not seen a combat blade in days lol
Yea i think its investigation
holy
the dream
O_O
I’ve been waiting for investigation and espionage for my heresy hat
Holy shamoley
only 3k melkcoin
does replacing a contract change the amount of tokens it gives
Praise the Omnissiah
I don’t think I can go back to power sword without power cycler
As much as dmg is nice
im not going to buy it for that much as i have a very similar one lol
Im really hoping the do X missions on Y difficulty penance gets a drop down to show what you're missing on release
Update it works about half the time
Did some testing
So anybody do the 100% acc BS penance with a Vet? Im trying to do it but its not workin
Gonna put this here because I think it got buried in general, but has anyone else noticed Performance dropping in the Water Silo, specifically right at the end Arena where you fight the corruptors?
I think there's some sort of entity or artefact there that's bugged out and is really chugging performance.
I don't have this "Investigation" mission done.
I have a friend who managed it, but that was after a lot of attempts. It's very hard, especially since you generate ammo for doing your job as a vet, and I'm not sure hitting armor counts as a hit.
it must be that, I guess.
Just cheese it
All the hard penance can be cheesed except for the psyker
Heresy!
Psyker really got the shaft on penances
@sharp locust how for that specific 1, do u know a way
Shot as much as you want, leave 1 ammo, alt f4, rejoin and get your shot
ok thx
ok
All the penance can be cheesed until you're a psyker
Every psyker penance are a pain
Its more of a pain when you do it but game dont reward you
I did 1v1 a boss with BB only twice
🙈🙉🙊
Never got the reward
anyone down to help me get the solo a nurgle or ogryn?
The Emperor protects.
Good luck with that, the penance dont always work
I did it twice and nothing
It's kind of a silly achievement, you have to rely on your allies not doing 1 bit of damage to the boss
yeah i heard if even a barrel blows it and damages it doesn't give it
It should absolutely be 95% damage, not 100%
I know, but it didnt happen
Just to account for a stray round, or swing of a sword
I recorded the whole shit
Rewatched it twice, making sure it didnt got any hit beside bb
Is the 10 minute completion on one wound cheesable?
lower, even. 80%. it honestly should be to reward a psyker clutching when everyone else goes down or are fighting off a horde.
Yes
Alt f4 again
They wont fix it
Nah, some you can’t on various classes. Like you can’t cheese the Zealot Grenade snipe or the kill a mutant while dashing
Yeah but those arent hard
you guys think this is worth upgrading to orange? i know the toughness on chained might not be the most desirable but it's been helping me a fair amount https://i.imgur.com/K1vJSez.jpeg
Hard is relative IG. If you have a 4 stack, even the Psyker ones get a fair bit easier
Nah toughness on hit blessings are great for melee classes
I consider the toughness on multihit blessing on the eviscirator essential
yeah i really like it
Its more survivability, which is what you need as the O machine
Psyker arent really hard, they're just plain bad and cancer
i saw this as a blue in the shop and i was like ayo and i picked it up
Beside, the solo boss one dont even work
somebody has started putting out the damage calculators for darktide
The words "multiplicative" and "partially multiplicative" appear multiple times and mean different things
Might be interacting with soft/hard caps?
But wait for the witch coming back, you can cheese it
