[hybrid compass]

hmm ok

oh well not like melk gives me anything good anyways lol

[heavy shuttle]

Best bet, I've found, for gear is to completely focus on 70%-80% stat ranges on all bars and then roll the dice at crafting praying to get lucky.

[marsh blaze]

got this bug where i'm doing a mission and one of the objectives says i need to find grims even though its not shown on the pre-mission thing

as expected, i didn't find any grims during that run

[keen wedge]

I had al almost all-80 roll ripper with terrifying barrage and the one that stacks damage on hits... b ut i didn't have melk credits to buy it.

[orchid dirge]

Anyone know if purchased cosmetics carry over to same class characters like cosmetics unlocked do?

[broken galleon]

They said they would be unlocked for all operatives that can equip it

So if you buy a weapon trinket it'll be unlocked for any and all

Does damage resistance to bombers just mean a little less damage on each fireburn tick? Pretty useless IMO

[verbal wyvern]

anyone else finding shooters absolutely destroying you as of today?

[outer bloom]

anyone know what the max base rating for curios is?

also does total character rating actually do anything?

[hoary plank]

Anyone plays with controller with geforce now?

I get stuck on launcher and can start a game since nothing on controller can interact with the launcher

[short hazel]

Hello I am brand new with my friend both on steam and we can't get invites to work, any help please 🙏

[stoic scroll]

Do you mean to group up? If your friends on steam you should see each other in the Social tab and be able to join/invite to group from within game. Or you can do the Steam invite to play option which does the same thing.

[brittle marsh]

Just finished a mission and yet all my weekly missions are reading no progress.. I know some of em were janked and not tracking progress but have they just full on broken everything or?

[outer bloom]

sometimes it just doesn't count a mission

because

[brittle marsh]

Fair enough

[rigid wasp]

Sometimes for me u gotta keep trying to invite or join through steam invite/join

[dusky glade]

even better I got my monstrosisties completed ingame and showed up but then on exit to lobby it shows uncompleted

[brittle marsh]

Perfect game that was for sure ready for release

[outer bloom]

It sure is great that they count scriptures when you pick them up... proceedes to watch entire team complete the entire mission, get all scrips then forget a horde spawns in the last hallway and just blitz down towards the elevator at like 20% health

well that was 30 minutes of my life wasted.

Because they don't count anything from a failed mission.

wow that's terrible

I don't even know what it is!

just that it sucks.

because everyone spends the whole damned game sprinting

I mean its not the worst blessing I've seen, sadly enough.

you can get this on an autogun

this also exists

yeah but uh.... that gun doesnt have chambers

it's an automatic

only the revolver should be dropping that

unless its just badly worded.

[untold phoenix]

Pretty sure that counts every empty mag slot

could be wrong though

[outer bloom]

that would give that gun uh.... +128% crit chance on the last round.

I don't think it works like that\

[terse pond]

is 380 base the highest you can have for stats

[outer bloom]

maybe?

until it isnt

it was supposed to be 350.

[ornate compass]

Do we know what a Salvo is?

Is it the first shot fired from the magazine or first hit on a target or does the salvo end after a short burst?

[ripe fossil]

is there a way to assign weapons as "Favourite" ? it would help a lot as some of us keep every weapon for when the full crafting system is on? I have now 24 melee weapons and only use 4, but have to go through each one to remember the good ones

[topaz lark]

afaik, no

[ornate compass]

It reset after a split second after not firing.

[thorn lagoon]

found a grimoire we literally cant pick up

[torn parcel]

Same ☝️

[thorn lagoon]

same one too?

[topaz lark]

hard to tell from the screen, but probably yes

I've had this on the exact same type of shelf

[sterile beacon]

Happens quite often in the new maps with grims and scriptures

[nocturne stratus]

a lot of unpickable items. even a medicae battery

[topaz lark]

I once had a battery spawn underground

only giveaway was the glow

[verbal wyvern]

Is grimoire res not working? I have 40% against the books yet its no difference to 0%

[topaz lark]

possibly, but I dont know of any tests

[foggy cliff]

Is the crafting already in the game?

[topaz lark]

no

[heady citrus]

Any word on vantage point fix? Stuck at Vantage Point (2) after clearing each mission on malice 3 times

[topaz lark]

how many do you have left?

[heady citrus]

I have completed 6/7 according to the penance

[topaz lark]

I just naturally completed it (and all the other class variants) long ago

[heady citrus]

I have completed each mission type three times on malice

[topaz lark]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

cant say anything besides "are you sure?"

I havent heard about this issue anywhere

[heady citrus]

Check the forums. There are several posts.

[topaz lark]

forums

anyway, its possible

I just made a spreadsheet where I tracked my progress

it might be linked to the fact that missions sometimes just dont count for stuff

like weeklies

[heady citrus]

Brother I made a spreadsheet. It’s not proccing. Unless I have to do a specific type of raid mission (for example I can only do the ammo mission) then I don’t even know

[topaz lark]

again, my theory is that its not counting some mission (which seems to be a recent bug)

if you know which one, the only thing you can do is repeat it

if not, its praying to fatshark

[heady citrus]

If only the penance showed what mission you were “missing” But hey, that’s a legacy feature. Can’t bring that over from VT.

[topaz lark]

indeed, we just need to "go by the feel"

[buoyant egret]

that bugged hole kills everyone xDDD

[fallen turret]

new mission mode coming soon hehe?

[patent sapphire]

i think it will be a modifier

not a mission type

maybe like a super difficult variant that pops up for a few hours or something?

[fallen turret]

fomo?

[patent sapphire]

gamers favorite buzzword now

fear of missing out

basically if you ever find yourself logging into a game because you want to check on something that’s limited time only instead of because you want to play the game because it’s fun

that’s fomo

[topaz lark]

its not really so much of a buzzword as an actual marketing term

there's lots of "dark pattern" marketing and system design out there, this one is just the most known

[covert star]

Aye. It's used for things like limited-time offers (Games Workshop loves doing FOMO offers) they then claim will never return, or won't return for years. It's to drive spike sales.

"Don't miss out!" "Last chance!" etc.

[topaz lark]

the cash shop bundles is another one

although I forgot the precise term for that

force your customer to buy more than they actually need for a purchase, and then use that leftover currency to drive future sales

because people naturally dont want to "waste" money

[keen wedge]

sunk cost fallacy

but that's only half the equation

[spark ingot]

so many players

perfection

[quasi atlas]

is anyone willing to help me with the Cliffhanger Penance?

[spark ingot]

cant pick this up

[covert star]

FS need to increase the pickup interaction radius or something to stop that happening.

[flint relic]

Can anyone help me out, which sword to use (i am veteran)

[keen wedge]

Middle

Perks are not good but stats and blessings are sweet

[flint relic]

cheers mate ❤️

[lethal grove]

you?

[lethal grove]

yes game pass

[dire dawn]

D=

crud

so its not just me

[lethal grove]

Very sad

[dire dawn]

i was literally just about to start typing in here to ask about that

since its xbox gamepass does it qualify as a bug?

[lethal grove]

What a coincidence

[remote grove]

which one?

is the perk on the cs even good

[wooden geode]

anyone know what the 3 short beeps sound cue is for?

[tepid skiff]

could be vet ult highlight.

every time it refreshes, including team effect, it beeps a little.

[wooden geode]

Ah ok, based on that info I found this: https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/beeping-on-using-volley-fire/64257/3

Now I know. Thx!

[amber flame]

well recently with the new update in darktide I have lost all progress any currency that was purchased in the store and all operatives this is on the Xbox version

[lethal grove]

Save data restored

[abstract jolt]

i think its not normal, it will be fixed in future?

[rustic dagger]

you cap your framerate?

[autumn helm]

Are the threat levels roughly the same way as VT2's difficulties?

[patent sapphire]

i didn’t play vt2 but heresy feels like it will be the place most geared and experienced people wind up at for normal play

[autumn helm]

Sounds like VT2's 4th difficulty as well

[patent sapphire]

dipping into damnation for a challenge

[autumn helm]

Yeah, sounds like VT2 alright. Thanks for the info

[tired crown]

That's a really good take, I played a little VT2 and legend difficulty was pretty much what you described.

[pure lichen]

The perk on the CS is for Mauler and Rager if you are wondering what type of enemy it is. I'd say it is good

[pearl kayak]

Seems the weeklies not working still hasn't been fixed, I've been at 13/15 matches played for 3 missions now 🤡

[open musk]

Is it just me or is the "Previous Missions" part of "Social" not really working? Im trying to find a player I played with because he was nice and I don't think he's there

[tired crown]

I've experienced the same thing, it's really inconsistent and doesn't display based on how recently you've played. I've found it's best to add people before the mission ends since you won't be able to find them after it's over.

[open musk]

big shame

I guess it's better than people using that to hassle each other but you dont get a lot of chances when stuff goes south ingame haha

[tired crown]

It just feels unfinished, half implemented. Like the core of the feature is there but it needs attention actually do what it's supposed to do.

[exotic whale]

hey guys. do I just join a strike team or do I need an invite?

[distant junco]

Should you wait until level 30 to use any Aquilas? There is a near perfect roll for a surge staff available but I'm only lvl 21 and it's 377

[onyx schooner]

which axe should i go with

[rigid wasp]

question

are emp drops random?

[crimson fable]

Yes

[tired crown]

You can request to join an existing one or invite someone to yours to create one.

[tired crown]

I would personally wait, the rolls on a perfect 377 will be quite a bit lower than the roles on a decent 450~

That's 75 stat points that can be distributed (assuming equal perks and blessings)

Can you post a screenshot of it @distant junco ?

[tired crown]

I'd go with the purple. Sorry for the late answer.

[distant junco]

I just logged in and it's actually only ilvl 277 so going to wait to save my aquilas until 30

TY!

[tired crown]

Oh gotcha. You're welcome!

[cerulean pelican]

no player death mission? is that working? i finished a match and no one died but it didn't count? Does it mean no one goes down?

[past shale]

maybe if you relog it will refresh sometimes the kills don't register for me

[cerulean pelican]

nope no joy

annoying

[silver moat]

Ive seen people examine their guns in game, is that an idle animation or something you can actually do? I cant seem to find a keybind for it

[edgy wedge]

there’s no limit lmao

as far as I can tell it increases by 2.5k per reroll, with the only limit being your dockets

haha I got +2% exp from upgrading a curio to purple

[turbid dock]

hold X

[simple kite]

wasn't this from yesterday? Also, while there theoretically isn't a limit, the game won't actually register rolls past the 5k marker. It will say a roll costs 7.5k, but it won't do anything if you try to roll

[turbid dock]

or C, one of those

[edgy wedge]

no it most definitely does roll

[simple kite]

which is either a bug, or an internal roll limit

[edgy wedge]

i’m at 12.5k per roll rn and it rerolled the godforsaken grimoire pickup one

[simple kite]

well, then, as I said yesterday, I guess they fixed it. Because I tried to roll past 7.5k like 8 times last Friday or some such and it wouldn't let me roll

[edgy wedge]

geez

[simple kite]

but I'm happy they've fixed it

[edgy wedge]

I love darktide so much but some of the mechanics drive me crazy

[simple kite]

it'll be better after they're done with the alpha build. I expect them to have a full release at least by 2025

[crimson fable]

Just wait until we get the dice rolling system called crafting available

[edgy wedge]

yippee!!!

[edgy wedge]

everything is already dice rolling though

[simple kite]

tbh the way they described this system recently sounds like it's not actually that RNG

Refinement is RNG for rerolls of perks, but there aren't that many values for perks, and blessings are improved by combining lower tiers into higher tiers instead of hoping for a good roll

[crimson fable]

Yeah, sadly it is, but why adding RNG things on top of that?

[crimson fable]

Consecration is also RNG for what you get

Rerolling perks also has scaling price

[edgy wedge]

oh also while I’m here, anyone know good ways to farm crafting mats and dockets? I solo queue and very rarely get squads who will bother to look for crafting mats with me

[crimson fable]

Combining blessings isn't RNG right, but finding the weapons with the blessings to take is

[crimson fable]

Reports mention that higher difficulties give more diamantine than plasteel, seems that diff 3 is the best for farming

[edgy wedge]

wait what is this fr? i’m pretty sure I’ve got a bunch of 400+ on my veteran, though I might be going crazy and will have to check when I get home in an hour

[edgy wedge]

Diff 3 is the limit I’ve found for having fun in solo queue

[rigid wasp]

this probably gets asked alot but do same-class auras stack?

[simple kite]

350 baseline

modifier points are irrelevant

[edgy wedge]

ah

it would seem i have blundered

sorry lmao

[jaunty lance]

I'm a little confused. Which is the better weapon? Lower power rating but higher base damage or the higher power rating with lower base damage? And why is the other weapon better? Explain if possible.

[green axle]

does anyone know whats going on with stamina curios? my +2 stam curio only gives +1 in game

[drowsy maple]

Where can I find a list of enemy types? What counts as infested? or Maniac?

[simple kite]

they all appear to round down for some odd reason. +3 only gives +2

[edgy wedge]

check your weapon specific stats, if it reduces your stamina at all it rounds down

[jaunty lance]

Anyone know? Sorry if I'm repeating myself but I don't have much time left in the armoury.

[edgy wedge]

wait; why is it an 80% cap? doesn’t that mean it’s actually 100% as it’s the maximum?

[simple kite]

I would go with the first. Mobility isn't that much of a concern for a shotgun imo

[jaunty lance]

I'm generally curious about the damage.

[simple kite]

the 395 rating one does meaningfully less damage

[jaunty lance]

I thought higher rating always was better damage.

[simple kite]

why would you think that?

rating is just a sum of the five stats and the perks+blessings

[jaunty lance]

A lot of people mentioned that in the beta. When you couldn't see numbers.

[simple kite]

the "higher rating" one has both lower damage and lower penetration damage

it gives you the baseline damage numbers right there. 358 versus 306

[jaunty lance]

Also hency my confusion.

I know. I just wanted to make sure.

[simple kite]

this is wrong and dumb, and I don't know who said that but you shouldn't listen to them

[jaunty lance]

Since I haven't encountered this before.

[simple kite]

your damage stats are affected by your damage rolls

the second one has lower damage rolls, and therefore worse damage

[jaunty lance]

I mean. It was more of a general thing "always get the higher rating weapon".

[simple kite]

they're wrong

[jaunty lance]

I know. Just elaborating a bit more.

[simple kite]

"usually get the higher rating weapon" is a good heuristic

[jaunty lance]

I know now, I mean.

[simple kite]

because it is

[topaz lark]

tbh, the whole rating system is confusing

[simple kite]

nothing ever rolls above 80

[jaunty lance]

Thanks for the info anyway.

[topaz lark]

and people are used to bigger number = better

[simple kite]

that's the functional max value of any given stat, regardless of what the bar leads you to believe

[jaunty lance]

I'll get the 381.

[topaz lark]

you wont

[simple kite]

he won't?

it's the better option

[topaz lark]

wait, you talking about the overall

I dont care

[past wing]

hey guys, can someone help me with ''just a flesh wound'' penance?

[simple kite]

check vox-lfg channels below

[edgy wedge]

I got charged in an airlock, picked up, and thrown through the closed door. Got stuck in the earlier part of the level with a grimoire lmao.

[tranquil grove]

I love when I go to grab a diamantine cube and the rest of the team gets soloed by a reaper and its my fault for not carrying them hard enough for 10 seconds.

[edgy wedge]

is this shovel actually a good idea or should I stick to a power sword?

[green axle]

can you elaborate?

[edgy wedge]

press V to inspect the weapon; from there, in the bottom area of the weapon info, it’ll show you the modifiers any weapon of that type gives, regardless of perks or blessings

like the thunder hammer giving -0.16 sprint

that instantly rounds it down by an entire bar of sprint

[green axle]

ok so, without curio i have 3 stam with my sword

[edgy wedge]

on what difficulty

[green axle]

with the +2 curio only 4 stam total. the sword is at +2

malice

[edgy wedge]

does pulling out your primary weapon increase or decrease your stamina bar

[green axle]

decrease

[edgy wedge]

so you get 2 stamina?

[green axle]

3

with +2 curio i have 4 stam

[fickle wagon]

guys how does the grimoire work? Is it percentage based or health amount

[green axle]

percent

[edgy wedge]

that’s odd

[fickle wagon]

25% each?

[green axle]

thats why im asking 😄

[edgy wedge]

I don’t know what to tell you besides test other weapons and see if the same thing happens lmfao

I’ll be home in about twenty min and then I can start checking

Can you post a screenshot of the sword’s stats? I wanna test it and find out if it’s affecting your specific sword or every sword of that type

[green axle]

it happens to other weapons aswell

[edgy wedge]

just to verify; you went into the inspect menu and checked the non-perk/blessing modifiers, right?

[edgy wedge]

That’s super weird

[edgy wedge]

That’s bizarre as hell

Probably either the curio or the sword’s stamina modifier isn’t taking effect

That, or it’s acting as though you have 0 stamina and your +4 is all of your stamina

[green axle]

it happens to other weapons too

[edgy wedge]

Maybe weapon modifiers are bugged lmao

[green axle]

well, if i remove the curio its 3 stam

[edgy wedge]

hu

wha

4-2=3?

so the curio is bugged prob

[edgy wedge]

prob make a bug report

i’ll do more testing when I get back

[vital violet]

Where is my twitch drop skins, it is more than 4 days and i still don’t get any ,except ripper gun(

[edgy wedge]

Mine took a week and a half to show up

[green axle]

im not the only one with that issue, i was hoping for someone to have specifics

[green axle]

tag me if you found smth

[edgy wedge]

Well I thought I did but apparently it’s just flat out bugged

[vital violet]

Ok, any second now

[edgy wedge]

they all showed up at the same time, despite the fact i got the skins multiple days apart

[midnight pawn]

One stamina bar = +2 stamina +1 only gives you half a bar

[supple shuttle]

Is there a big difference in Low recon vs normal?

[orchid dirge]

I need to hear more voicelines before deciding on a personality. Is there a folder I can find to check more out?

[simple kite]

low recon? Do you mean low intensity?

[inner flax]

Do all heresy disruption have "high intensity" as standard?

[simple kite]

according to the devs, no, it's just a UI bug

according to me, the devs don't play their own game, because it's very obviously endless horde

[inner flax]

Well im playing the one without it and once im in game is says it is high intensity?

lol

[simple kite]

a horde every two minutes with double spawning specialists = high intensity

Damnation maps are easier than unmodded Heresy maps, tbf, just because there's less chaos

and a low intensity Heresy map is an absolute walk in the park compared to a "normal" one

[inner flax]

I know this but what im saying is, Im playing non modified heresy disruption on the mission terminal, but once im in game it has a modifier lol. Every time iv tried to finish it this week its been like this.

[rich smelt]

@paper coral are there plans on cross-platform gameplay? I would like to play with my friends with the XBOX Game Pass while I'm playing it on Steam

[simple kite]

yes. And I'm telling you what I know

which is that the devs claim it's just a UI bug and there's no endless horde

and that I have played enough "unmodified" Heresy maps to think the devs are full of it

the hallmarks of Endless Horde are double specialists and a horde every ~4 minutes or so, which happens on all "unmodified" Heresy maps and does not happen on unmodified maps of any other difficulty

[rich smelt]

There are no endless horde? 😦

[inner flax]

sloppy

[simple kite]

"High intensity engagement"

same diff

they just changed the name of it

[rich smelt]

But that special condition works, right?

[simple kite]

sure? I don't exactly know what you're asking

if something's marked as high intensity engagement, it'll be high intensity engagement

the problem with Heresy is that it appears to already be that by default, according to how regularly hordes/specialists spawn

[rich smelt]

But I wasn't sure if there was literally high intensity

[simple kite]

again, not quite sure what you're asking

and I don't know how to explain my answer to Bastard any better than I have

If Heresy, and "no mod," then "actual mod=high intensity". If Heresy, and "any other mod," then "normal Heresy=that other mod"

[rich smelt]

I was asking if the high intensity was working as intended or not

[simple kite]

yes

it works as intended

HIE is Endless Horde

if something has HIE, then it'll spawn regular hordes and double specialists

[rich smelt]

Yeah I understand that when they change the description

[ancient cosmos]

how does damage work?
if lasgun has 137 dmg and shotgun 291
is it per second, round?
wonder cause shotgun has high damage but lower ammo capacity so no idea what weapon I should go for

[lament lodge]

does anyone know whats up with the 8 weapon skins the imperial edition said it included? cause the pictures featured a chainaxe skin that i dont see anywhere amongst others

[topaz lark]

should be per shot/round

assuming you are looking at damage and not rating

[ancient cosmos]

thx

[orchid dirge]

Does height change gameplay e.g. run speed?

[simple kite]

if it did, then Ogryn would run faster

though it does provide some vague advantages/disadvantages in terms of, like, firearm cover

[jaunty lance]

Anyone care to explain this penance? How come it doesn't counts toward 70 but I have 38/70? Yesterday I had 31/70. So I have no clue what's going on. Since I have knocked down tons of hordes and it still doesn't count for anything, but has given me 38 prior to this?

[little coyote]

38 is your best thus far I'm pretty sure

or how many you got last time

[echo kiln]

38 is your best attempt so far

[ruby swift]

Did i just get really lucky with my low level gun or am i missing something here? Is the blue somehow better?

[jaunty lance]

Alright. Thanks.

[echo kiln]

Blue is a higher "rarity" and means it has more blessings and perks. It guarantees nothing about the base stat rolls, afaik

[ruby swift]

Ya, that I know. Im just so confused as to how the rating can be so much higher on the blue but the damage and a lot else is just worse?

[echo kiln]

The MkII and MkIV are also two completely different weapons

[jaunty lance]

Sigismund, Read from my question here and responses. And you'll understand a little better.

NP 🙂 I find myself linking that a LOT because the game CBA to explain anything

[tranquil grove]

Saw someone had done the Untouchable penance but its still not working for me :( sadge

I want my imperialis

[quasi crest]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/zfbqzj/psyker_tank_build/

Any thoughts on build?

[cold moon]

Blue gun has improved bar stats for all except Damage and there is a Blessing perk included which the green version has none. No god tier upgrades, but an overall upgrade nonetheless.

[stuck herald]

Two different guns, Mk IV vs Mk II oh sorry it was answered

[ocean flower]

Ye, like how irl the M1 and the M16 are two completely different guns

[sinful prairie]

It seems like they're always high intensity?

[simple kite]

yes. this is my point.

they're high intensity by default, and the dev comment that it's just a UI bug is wrong

[sinful prairie]

I see. Yeah, i thought i specifically picked one that wasn't high intensity and it still was

[tranquil grove]

So apparently on the forums and I've personally tested this to know its true. The untouchable penance is working I think? But the problem is that there is still chip damage its just so tiny you don't realize it. When you get hit at 100% toughness you take decimal damage which rounds up to your max health still.

So if you wanna do untouchable you have to.. Not get touched. Only thing its okay to get hit by is ranged attacks and fire but not so much fire that you take damage. You can only have a little bit of fire, as a treat.

[elfin hill]

Thoughts?

[sinful prairie]

Is that new? Or is it supposed to be hi intensity all the time?

[simple kite]

it's not new, and it's not supposed to be like that

it's been a bug for weeks

[sinful prairie]

I had sworn that it wasn't this bad last weekend, though idk

Feels like no team can win on Lvl4

[simple kite]

they claim to have fixed it. And I give devs a fair bit more berth than a lot of people in this community, but again, I call absolute bullshit on that

[sinful prairie]

Or rather, all the pugs that I've done are getting wiped way harder than they felt like they were last weekend, idk

[simple kite]

if your Heresy map has a different modifier active, then it overwrites the HIE

so a Heresy map with lights out or something won't be bugged

so that might be where you're feeling a discrepancy

[sinful prairie]

Could be, yeah, dunno

is it just heresy?

[simple kite]

yes

[sinful prairie]

Well, good to know at least. I thought I was going crazy

[heavy snow]

any ogryn here (or littluns i guess) wanna team up 4x and do penances?

[slow fog]

Might be better off asking in the LFG channels

[heavy snow]

which ones

[slow fog]

They're region specific

[heavy snow]

what do lexicanum/nasa/emea/etc mean

[slow fog]

So whatever region you're in

[heavy snow]

those are regions?

[slow fog]

North America South America/ Europe Middle East Afria??

I think

So yeah

[heavy snow]

lol ok

[slow fog]

Im in the apac one and I don't know what the last two letters mean

Asia Pacific something something

[heavy snow]

what's lexicanum

[lone seal]

NASA is North America/South America. EMEA is Europe/Middle East/Africa. APAC is Asia/Pacific (Asia, Australia, Pacific Islands).

[slow fog]

Im not sure in that context

[lone seal]

Lexicanum is just the FAQ for the voice channels.

[slow fog]

Weird that its in LFG

My best guess is its Asia Pacific Australia China but the last two are kind of redundant

[lone seal]

APAC is Asia-PACific.

[slow fog]

Given that China is a part of Asia and Australia is part of the Pacific

ah

Yeah that makes sense

[short hazel]

we tried steam joining and invites but wouldnt work

[jade falcon]

Is there a trick to get the "every shot counts" penance? i always almost get it and then there is that one last elite that gives me more ammo

[slow fog]

Talk to your team and then wait at extraction until you've finished your last ammo

[jade falcon]

but there aonly spawning elites at the end

[slow fog]

I mean, you've maybe had some bad luck cause otherwise that's not true

[jade falcon]

hm okay thank you

[slow fog]

Usually you only get waves of elites if you've been waiting a LONG time

Which you shouldnt be

[jade falcon]

i did wait for an hour yesterday and there were only elites

[slow fog]

You should ideally be down to your last few rounds when you get up to extracting

[jade falcon]

there were only dogs and muties

[slow fog]

Weird

Might depend on the mission

Ammo stealing mission for example should have a bunch of mooks

Only time i've seen a huge waves of elites was after killing multiple waves of mooks there

[near zealot]

Many of these more difficult challenges are not very team oriented for a team game

I too have been struggling with that challenge, it is literally impossible to be 100% accurate unless they just let you unload everything at the end

[slow fog]

Just ask your team

If you've got like a dozen shots, I'm sure they wont mind holding off extracting for like 30 seconds

[graceful halo]

Which enemies refer to "Infested Enemies" ?

[slow fog]

Dogs and poxwalkers

[graceful halo]

They are all infected to me 😅

[near zealot]

shoukldnt have to

[hollow basin]

i am trust lvl 25 now, should i just wait for good weapon drops or is it worth to upgrade some with decent stats?

[slow fog]

I mean

If you're not willing to talk to your team

[near zealot]

has nothing to do with lack of willingness

[slow fog]

Don't complain that it isn't team friendly

[near zealot]

just bad design imo

[slow fog]

Id say its fine to upgrade some stuff if you'd like. I just probably wouldn't go above blue rarity

[hollow basin]

aigth that makes sense, thank you!

[graceful halo]

You will find better weapons like each 2 missions, then better, then better, then better again 😅

[unkempt stone]

The new one vs the old

[gilded wasp]

can anyone help me get gone bowling on my ogryn done?

[unreal lotus]

hey guys i have a question i was playing and my corruption was high so i went to a med station it didnt get rid of all the corruption and it just came back immediately is this a bug?

[cursive citrus]

you had grimoires

grimoires each take a chunk of your HP as corruption, and then each of them will tick 1 more HP per 10ish seconds

thus why nobody likes the damn things

[near zealot]

neat just did make every shot count

woo yea woo

[unreal lotus]

@cursive citrus thanks

[compact rose]

anyone wanna help me do malleus monstrorum penance?

[rare shadow]

can i work with this?

worth upgrading?

[near zealot]

Probably yeah. Has really nice baseline stats and the things that are already on it are p good imo :)

[thick hamlet]

https://youtu.be/AI-beVRsza4 this video was helpful 4 me it may be the same 4 you guys

[shrewd pendant]

how is everyone doing the "kill monstrocity in 5 seconds" penance?

[thick hamlet]

Having a good coordinating group

[heavy shuttle]

4 bolters works pretty good.

[thick hamlet]

Bolter help 🤣

[shrewd pendant]

does the timer start when the music starts or when the first person deals damage to it?

[compact rose]

can someone help me do this?

[old adder]

anyone doing the 100% accuracy penance for Sharpshooter? That one sucks with randoms

[inland imp]

Why does the omnisiah keep scamming me? I swear the devs put the shitty secondary perks as the highest % chance to roll. They doing this shit intentionally. Every single one of these was wasted diamantine and plasteel.

[hard goblet]

Gotta keep the skinner box running as long as possible.

If players got what they wanted from curios, guns, etc. then they'd stop playing obviously.

Had the exact same thing happen to me with recon lasguns going for infernus. I think I've got a dozen decent blues with all the wrong blessings, I've given up.

I mean theyre gonna add a way to reroll blessings and perks

They have to

They got 3 menus coming soon in the crafting section

Quick question folks

I don't see the gold currency skins

Available for equipping on weapons

Is there some sort of issue or?

[whole hawk]

On my Grenade Gauntlet: "Pinpointing target: Up to +10% power based on the Charge Time of your Weapon special and Melee Attacks. Stacks 3 times." Please help. Small ogryn brain. No understand.

[flint rivet]

Which one is active?
Every single one of them when I click them says: "Replace contract".
Why can I not see which contract is active?

[whole hawk]

All are active

[near zealot]

Yeah

[whole hawk]

If one is too hard you can replace it for increasing amounts of currency.

[flint rivet]

It says: "Weekly Contract" singular!

Not "Weekly contracts"

[whole hawk]

The contract is the whole thing

[flint rivet]

so they're missing an "s" at the end...

[whole hawk]

Funny wording I guess

[flint rivet]

Wow! I've been replacing contracts that was close to completion, but that I thought I wouldn't be able to do - since I wasn't selecting missions specific for that thing!

[whole hawk]

Ouch.

[sterile gate]

What level of gray weapon am I looking out for in the shop to upgrade at the crafting station?

[pure marsh]

Whats the best way to farm diamonite i wanna start upgrading stuff

[tired crown]

Anything 330+ is a good start, I'm usually excited about 360~

[tired crown]

Heresy missions give quite a bit

So much so that I've got a few thousand diamantine and am low on plasteel

[ocean axle]

Has anyone on Vet achieved Untouchable while trying for On Overwatch, but didn't get both?

Kept a watchful eye on my toughness all map long, only times I was hit in melee was due to a mutant grab that the launch day toughness change saved me from

[pure marsh]

Nice to know ill have to go up a level then

[tired crown]

The penance says don't get hit* at all, I'm not sure if the mutant hit would count or not?

[heavy shuttle]

Its because he doesnt help the team out and just plays scavenger hunt.

🤡

[tired crown]

I've debated not helping certain teammates get un-netted.

Besides, resources are shared. Ungrateful group members should check themselves before they wreck themselves.

Side note, hope your first day of leave* is going good amigo.

[heavy shuttle]

Bold words from the mutant magnet 🤣 And it sure is, will be hoping on in a few.

[bitter violet]

Ayy more hotfixes to fix the crashes. Anyone with a lot of crashes notice a difference or nah?

I won't be able to check yet tonight.

[tired crown]

Lmfao I don't know what it is! They'll pass every teammate, round corners, flip 180° to catch me.

[tired crown]

I've had a few crashes overall but none recently. Today was the smoothest gameplay I've had.

[bitter violet]

Here's hoping it's better for me to.

[slow fog]

Mutant turning circle REALLY needs adjusting

[restive tulip]

anyone know the difference between Graia and Columnus braced autoguns?

[slow fog]

Fucken pirouetting like ballet dancers to turn 120 degrees on a dime while at a full sprint

Like OK buddy

[gilded pond]

Are Mystery Acquisitions a scam?

[floral birch]

This challenge to kill 5 elites in 12 seconds for the psykers is killing me “Mix and Pick” it’s so hard to get

Why did they only give you 2 more seconds to kill 5 of them, why not 20 seconds?

I mean you need to have a full strike team to be able to perform this challenge correctly.

[bitter violet]

I've been told there is a quality of weapon above orange and mysteries are the only way to get them.

But I've never seen any evidence.

[thick hamlet]

Sounds like a scam 🤣

[wild sundial]

Any advice on penances? Trying to do the final Sharpshooter ones rn and it's a fucking nightmare

[ocean axle]

Ah damn, thanks. It's actually any melee damage so the tiny bit I took was what screwed me over.

[ocean axle]

The Volley Fire Heresy one you're better off waiting until lv30, and having some coordination with team so enough elites are kept close by.

The ammo/accuracy one can be cheesed, but otherwise trying with a low ammo weapon like stub revolver is best though it could still be tough in PUGs. You just have to be very careful of being in coherency towards the end of map so you don't regain ammo without anything to shoot

[wild sundial]

Currently on the ammo one. What are cheese methods?

[bronze vigil]

How do you deal with beasts of nurgle?

[heavy shuttle]

Has there been any confirmation on how the store produces higher rated gear?

[wild sundial]

One guy kite, the others shoot yellow blob on the back

[heavy shuttle]

Stay at range. Range the target's weakspot in back.

[cold moon]

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

crit chance and crit dmg pog

just need to reroll those terrible values

[bronze vigil]

Huh okay, so just only use range and flee for all life when you've got aggro?

[heavy shuttle]

You can ride on its back until it aggros onto you. Not a good strat but a possible one 🤣

[boreal cosmos]

worth upgrading?

[heavy shuttle]

Yes.

Very much so. Best of luck on your 2nd blessing.

🙏

[tepid skiff]

all guns are colour-coded: blue and short is the light version, green and neutral is medium, and brown and long is heavy.

[heavy shuttle]

What did you get for 2nd blessing?

[tepid skiff]

more ammo for lights, more damage per shot for heavies.

[boreal cosmos]

havnt yet, it would take most of my resources and i just upgraded a flamer hmmm

[heavy shuttle]

Keep me posted, please*. That's one of the best bolters I've seen on here.

[boreal cosmos]

you should see the flamer.

[heavy shuttle]

Idk why folks are getting so many 70%+ base stat items... I'm still trying to figure out how to get the store to increase rated drops.

[boreal cosmos]

i was stuck at 350 for so long. now last 2 days its been a ton of emp gifts and good shops.

[heavy shuttle]

You have alot of crap in your inventory or do you keep it clean?

[bronze vigil]

no because the bolter is filthy 😄

[boreal cosmos]

its full of random crap as im waiting to be able to extract perks, plus certain guns that I havnt found upgrades for.

[heavy shuttle]

I'm the first to sound the horn on XII superiority over the bolter, but regardless of the differences... that's a damn fine bolter.

Pinning fire is BiS for that gun. I'm hoping Kman gets a shattered shot for secondary. Then that bolters becomes the best bolter he can hope to get in the game currently.

[boreal cosmos]

this one is on par with bolter?

[heavy shuttle]

"better" strickly due to the sake of how veteran uses either weapon combined with what the veteran's role in the group is... Which is outside of the scope of base line rolls. Ghost is not a bad blessing, I've had pretty good luck running ghost and between the eyes together.

[boreal cosmos]

gotcha. im a zealot but like running bolters mixed with flamer

i rolled the bolter btw

[heavy shuttle]

I would like to trade my sprint efficiency for your reload speed, or another +% against elites/specials

Results?

[boreal cosmos]

ehg

[slow fog]

Surgical on bolter is weird

[heavy shuttle]

Surgical ain't 'that' awful. Not the best, but its 'okay'.

[tired crown]

You don't have to be faster than the poxwalkers, just faster than your slowest teammate.

[heavy shuttle]

When most enemies are faster than a sprinting reject... Yeah..

[boreal cosmos]

Ill have to swap it out when crafting is out.

[heavy shuttle]

Very true.

[slow fog]

That seems great. Got a reaper shooting at you? Ping them once in the head and you basically have free shots from there

[boreal cosmos]

idk why but this thing is a beast too.

[heavy shuttle]

The two blessings do seem to synergize quite well for sustained fires... I'd still swap them out in a heart beat for critical damage

[tired crown]

Your XII is my dream gun tbh, those are the two blessings I've been aiming for. I always have a hard time with suppression.

[heavy shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/borat-gif-19169494

[tired crown]

I've got ghost and crit while aiming or something, idk. High base stats but the blessing is meh

Idc how old it makes me feel, I love borat.

[bright relic]

So I'm having a issue where having my Framerate cap to 120 is causing me to crash more often. And so I have to keep it to 60. Any idea what may be causing this?

[heavy shuttle]

Borat is hilarious.

This is my IV

Stat wise 'better' than my XII.

I could take or leave the falter and infernus. I don't want to stagger elites/specials I want to kill them.

The twin +high% damage is beast though...

It uses 2 charges as opposed to IA's 3 and XII's 3.

[boreal cosmos]

i cant believe they buffed twin stubber damage. was good before

[daring walrus]

I swear, I've had nothing but dumbfuck teams today with maybe 1 or 2 exceptions.

[versed falcon]

Is this any good? what should I be looking for?

[bright relic]

I think for Blessing, most would have Reflector. Other than that, everything else looks fine. I'm not a meta guy. I just repeat what others have been saying

[slow fog]

Exorcist seems kind of terrible unfortunately

[tame aurora]

My game keeps saying “out of storage” in the middle of missions even when I have nothing running?

[simple bridge]

Hey does anyone know the best way to complete the long bomb penance for sharp shooter I need it to get the real helmet

[rigid wasp]

Anyone know why im barely getting weapon above 400 rating let alone 390? Even though both my current weapon is at 420 and 430, with my vet lvl 30. Most of the times its below 390 ratings

[pine harness]

Does difficulty affect whether or not the grimoire quest gets counted towards when you do it? It isn't registering grimoires on the challenge everytime I get books, it only is doing it sometimes? Am I tweaking is anyone else having this issue?

[nova fractal]

do you have to have the higher rating weapon equipped to get better stuff?

or can i just leave it in my inventory?

[nova fractal]

just a bugged contract

[plain nimbus]

do yourself a solid and swap those contract out. they are super tedious to do and way too inconsistent. killing dregs and scab are way easier to do in comparison

[empty vapor]

is it the same with scriptures? Cause I have swear I've had 3 games where we all collect the scriptures but it don't go up

[plain nimbus]

it's buggy as hell and i have no idea how they count those

[empty vapor]

actually all my missons seemed bugged

I have a complete 15 missions and it hasn't gone up

22 hours logged past 2 weeks

[plain nimbus]

and i don't intend to find out. more power to you if you want to pick 30 scriptures but ima have fun killing enemies

[empty vapor]

if I had to guess, it seems weekly's don't count if you join a mission in progress

but they do if you join at the lobby

[plain nimbus]

i haven't got any of that bug yet so hard to say if it's not the case but mine got counted

i just spam low level assassinate speedrun

but usually it's complete 25 mission no?

unless it's scale with character level which i doubt it would i never get and amount other than 25

[echo kiln]

You need a 45m throw or a really high arc

[hushed shell]

does it matter, what difficulty I play if I want to get Plasteel?

[sharp robin]

Not a soul in sight (Malice)

[sharp robin]

use quick throw, has a reduced timer

[tepid skiff]

to a degree. you still get more at higher difficulties, but it takes more time as well, and less guarantee of success.

and diamantine drops scale with difficulty much faster.

[untold rivet]

I really can’t seem to get the abhor the mutant task done 😞 either other skilled players take it out before I get to kill it or it targets me. So frustrating . Any suggestions?

[strange rose]

can anyone help me with these 2 psycker penances, its impossible to do them without a team that knows wat im trying to do, i gotta push 7 enemies off a ledge in 2 seconds, and kill 3 elites on malice+ by killing myself, i cant get either done with everyone just running through killing everything

[tepid skiff]

use a charged hammer, be faster than others, slap during your charge, not after.

[untold rivet]

I think a YouTuber called ItalianSpartacus has a vid regarding costume penances and that ledge one

[strange rose]

the ledge one isnt hard, i just gotta have a team not murdering everything and help lure them near a ledge and block so i can push em off

every group i get in doesnt answer me in chat so its frustrating

[untold rivet]

That kid @tepid skiff I will try that. I have a hammer 🤓

Thank you

[strange rose]

also shai

wait for the mutant to rush you and side dodge near a wall so he hits it and it stuns him

if he targets you that ir

[untold rivet]

Oh and then whack him? Bit I still have to use my alt power?

[strange rose]

ohh the rush? i mean im sure you cn rush him as soon as he hits the wall

unless theres a specific thing you need to do

[untold rivet]

I will try that too with my hammer 😁

[strange rose]

me personally, i prefer the reved up heavy chain sword, can one shot a muntant

[untold rivet]

I have a legendary eviserator

That thing cuts bulwarks in half one strike 😆

To be honest my Zealot is now a bit over powered

[tepid skiff]

evi doesn't work for this penance, damage needs to be instant.

a combat axe might also work if mutie is sufficiently weakened, but hammer is more reliable.

[untold rivet]

That’s where I may be going wrong. Only been trying it with revved evi

[twin swallow]

Anyone knows if crouching provide any sort of stability boosts when using ranged weapons?

[bleak mason]

not to my knowledge or experience.

[hard goblet]

I was under the impression it reduced spread and increased stability.

[green axle]

any tips how to get the "cliffhanger" achievment easily done for the psyker?

[rigid wasp]

I need help with my gameplay during missions hub world is fine but running missions is like a slide show who do I talk to about this?

[terse condor]

I believe a good mission for that is the one in the scab town where in the last moments you have to use the data interrogators to first open the bridge and then hack the main pod, during that last part you will have 2 bridges above nothingness where poxwalkers are forced to go. Thats where I helped my friend unlocked it

[bright relic]

What does Look Dead Zone Threshold mean in the Settings? It's in Input.

[covert star]

@tepid skiff & @untold rivet I did that penance using evi. I hit the rush skill and slapped the mutie after the move speed ran out, but during the ability's buff effect, with a revved evi buzzing and got the penance.

[supple shuttle]

Guessing alot of people having trouble with weeklies not counting?

been stuck on same number of enemies killed for 3 missions

[signal kite]

should I pick up this powersword or should I upgrade my own?

[graceful halo]

In a few levels you will find that base stats are meh, so I would say dont bother with upgrades

[signal kite]

im lv 30

[graceful halo]

Hmm then the base stats are crap imho

[prime moon]

So what does trinkets do? Can see a way to equip them?

[covert star]

They go in these slots.

[prime moon]

Thats curios?

[covert star]

Yes.

[prime moon]

Not trinket?

[covert star]

Oh my bad. You meant the cosmetics.

Hit C on a weapon in inventory and click this icon.

[prime moon]

Ah i missed that thanks

[mental canyon]

I bought my first curio and it won’t let me equip it, are there certain curios that can only be equipped on the first slot

[covert star]

np

[covert star]

Any can, as long as you're high enough a level to use it and have the slot unlocked.

[mental canyon]

Yeah I’m good across the board, lvl etc it just won’t give me the option to equip

[covert star]

Show me what you see?

[mental canyon]

I’m on my phone currently, laptop powered down sadly

[covert star]

ok

[mental canyon]

Oh wow, what a bug that is

I had to buy a second curio

I thought maybe the first slot could@t be blue rarity so@I bought a cheap green and now I can equip either

[slim ledge]

Does anyone have a good idea of which mission is the "shortest" that would make getting Preacher's heresy penance easiest?

[covert star]

As a guess, as I haven't tried it m'self yet, look for a low-intensity mission. Fewer big spawns, fewer specialists, so it's an easier time clearing.

[slim ledge]

Yeah low intensity for sure but some missions also have lots of waiting like elevators or "survive!" objectives which can eat up time

Getting Heresy missions to pop up in the first place can be a challenge though, let alone low intensity 😅

hah, speak of the devil and he shall come

[covert star]

\o/

[limber tangle]

The one mission in sand location where you have to destroy pox growths at the end while ascending stairs. With premades could be done super fast, there is no waiting objective. On low intensity heresy prob could be done in 15 mins, regular one around 20

2nd fastest sewers assassination, just rush for elevator tho

[cloud spear]

am i crazy or carrying power cell all the way through the map grants you 900 exp under special condition?

[royal rock]

help

[royal rock]

yes

[slim ledge]

Fuu-

[heady citrus]

Is yours bugged too?

[gray geyser]

a hound bites/grabs me even after i clearly dodged it. am i doing something wrong?

[slim ledge]

hounds need to be staggered to prevent pounce, dodging is extremely unreliable if not impossible depending on latency

[crimson fable]

Nope, they are bugged and sometime they just phase over the player even when dodged

Well, bugged, they have been that way since the POB afaik

So maybe they are working as intended... Who knows...

[tall lantern]

u need to push away or stagger him before he pounce, push range is big enough

[crimson fable]

Or hounds doing 360 and jumping over immediately... Or phasing trough walls and other chars...

[little coyote]

they do some funky unreliable stuff but when they work as intended it's pretty easy to dodge

[pale spruce]

does anyone know why i can't enter the meat grinder until trust 17 on my new class? i don't have this restriction on my other characters

[little coyote]

try restarting the game

I've heard someone else have the same problem and that fixed it

[pale spruce]

ah thanks :)

it worked

thankyou

[inner minnow]

What weapon allows to travel very far distances at high speed while dashing forward with some strange attack? I have seen how psycker is doing it with it's psychosword and zealot with basically any weapon.

[little coyote]

think one of the rapier marks

[quick remnant]

The Knife has high mobility, as for Psyker i would say either Knife or maybe one of the Duelling sword

[rich smelt]

Why this still happens on the new map? You get kocked back to a non-textures area and can't move

Tryed to suicide, didn't work because there is ground and I surivved with the passive

[broken dawn]

Should I buy this revolver and upgrade it? Or should I wait for even better stats?

[rich smelt]

Also the team can't finish the mission because I'm alive and stuck here

[cinder nimbus]

"Just a flesh wound" penance requires you have like 75% corrupted health with under 20 minutes to complete right?

[topaz lark]

rolls are reasonably lucky, but the base rating is low

current max is 380

[broken dawn]

Aren't the rolls all that effect the rating without perks and blessings?

[topaz lark]

its the other way around

base rating (the one next to the stat bars) is distributed into the bars as points

if you add the bar values together, you'll usually get the base rating

(except for when rounding fucks up)

perks and blessings also have ratings, and are added to base rating to get the overall rating

the one you see at the top

now the opinion part

imo you shouldnt waste mats on anything with base rating below 360

[keen wedge]

tell them you're restarting, alt f4 out. the bot that takes over will teleport to them. when you reconnect you'll be fine

[nova meteor]

Quite so, don't upgrade anything until you hit level 30 and start seeing base ratings of 350-360+.

[grave echo]

wait, if max base is 380 and you add the bars to get the rating shouldn't the base be 400?

because each weapon has 5 bars

5x80=400

[topaz lark]

yes, but 380 is a hard cap for now

for whatever reason

even if you see something with higher base rating, its just a rounding error again

and its stat values add together to something below 380

we also have no idea why 80% is a cap

but nothing can generate with stats above 80%

[grave echo]

OK well it seems I accidentally did something right because my staff's base ratings add up to 367

I mean I totally planned that! >.>

so for Psykers the flame staff is the best for horde clear, the lightning staff is best for CCing specials and the voidstrike staff seems to be the best for sniping specials

is the staff that makes the explosion on the ground any good?

[bright mural]

what enemy types does 'Unarmoured' cover?

is there a database somewhere?

[grave echo]

I usually google "darktide adjective enemies" and it gives me the enemy types

[wintry onyx]

Things that aren't flak armor or carapace armor, etc

if you inspect a weapon and press tab or whichever button, you can see some different armor types
Unarmoured, Infested, Flak Armoured, Unyielding, Carapace Armored, Maniac

[vagrant cargo]

Hello is there a bot or are website wher i can check wich mission are up

[keen wedge]

most of them yo u can find in the meat grinder, but it's the cultists that aren't zombies but not elites wearing armour

zombies are Infested

[silent dome]

is heresy still bugged, every heresy mission says its hi-intensity even if the mission on the map doesnt

[void plaza]

Wait so the 385 weapons are bugged and actually just 380?

[bright mural]

okay so poxwalkers are infested and not unarmoured, that's good to know.

any elite enemy that's unarmoured? Ragers?

[unreal meadow]

Hey are there people in here who have a ton of hours in the game and could answer a question for me? Im a brand new player to the whole warhammer games

[bright mural]

sup bud? ask away

[unreal meadow]

Im completely new but I play tons off fps games and wave shooters also so I picked Veteran sharpshooter but in so many games I played we didnt have either of the close range characters just sharpshooter and the kinetic one or whatever. Is there a class that is under picked but needed? I was going to change to the orc one but people told me hes not really good for end game and I dont want to put a ton of hours into a class for it to be weak end game

[bright mural]

don't listen to people's opinions when they talk about endgame. Every class is viable and good and fulfills a unique role.

Ogryn is a lot of fun and really strong, but is limited by their kit. You can carry high difficulty games on your back once you get good with him

he is much bigger than the others so you need to learn how to weave between cover he can use and dodging/sliding under gun shots

[unreal meadow]

a lot of people said in high difficulty missions hes not very good because he has a big hitbox

[bright mural]

I play exclusively Heresy and Damnation, the two highest difficulties and use him. He has a big hotbox but that doesn't make him bad

just part of learning the class

and if you are struggling you can just take the shield

makes enemies shit themselves when u kill one of em in its radius

[unreal meadow]

Alright thanks. Is there a class that is often needed in higher level stuff or does team comp not really matter too much in this game?

[bright mural]

Any team comp can clear but some will have a much harder time, especially on Damnation.

it seems like one of each is how the game has been balanced

but this is a hard question to answer as it depends on factors like load out, player skill and player communication

you have to have very good situational awareness at Heresy+

I will say if you want to play a class that is 'needed', play and get good with Ogryn. They are the rarest chosen and when they're played well they're an amazing asset to have on a team

[signal cipher]

Pox walkers*

[unreal meadow]

alright. What about that berserker one? I think its preacher? I didnt see any of those either when I was playing just sharpshooters and the mage ones

[bright mural]

Zealot is my favourite class to play atm, they are a clutchy, high mobility, high melee damage class

tons of movement and hit like trucks

[patent sapphire]

sharpshooters are just overwhelmingly popular

[bright mural]

one of the harder ones to learn to play well

cause if you make a bad decision you just get shot to death

[patent sapphire]

i wouldn’t be surprised if they’re ~40% of the population

[bright mural]

Sharpshooter is also overpowered atm and will definitely get some nerfs soon

Powersword especially needs looking at

[unreal meadow]

Okay so im going to switch off that I guess cause I dont want to pick one thats over saturated already

[patent sapphire]

play what you find fun

[hollow basin]

worth it?

[unreal meadow]

hmm so im going to play either zealot or ogryn I think

[bright mural]

i think in time you'll end up playing all of them if you enjoy the game. and each class teaches you a different aspect of the game. it's really nice like that

[patent sapphire]

dockets? sure, melkcoin, absolutely not

[winter ember]

Is there a rough level where I should go from rank 2 to rank 3 missions?

[bright mural]

nice. Good choices 🙂 also if you're brand new and looking for some general good advice, here's a shameless self plug: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52xlUjyNUqc&t=3s&ab_channel=TheActionWindow

[unreal meadow]

Aight thanks ill check it out

[keen wedge]

Back in my day they were Plague zombies that a Typhus HQ could bring with him. 😄

[hollow basin]

Melkcoin unfortunatly, thanks for the help

[patent sapphire]

my reasoning is basically low base stats and the blessing is not that great and only one of the perks is good

eventually you could fix the perks and blessings but not the stats

[grave iris]

Question, when a full team wants to go for another round, by going 'Merge Strike team'
Why does it always give me the " Game isn't the same 'update' as your own " issue?

Been trying to make a few strike teams, and even if people go with it 4/4, I keep getting the same issue.

[patent sapphire]

known bug

it’s pretty unfortunate

[honest crater]

for on overwatch penance if i get dc'd and my bot get s hit when im not there, when i reconnect have i already lost my chance for the penance or is it only during MY play time

[grave iris]

Darn, just kind of an oofer. Met some nice people over here, and the 'previous missions' doesn't show them.

Thanks for the quick response though! ❤️

[keen wedge]

from what others say, it doesn't count against you

that said someone on youtube said it's likely the exploit works for those who played beta but not those who didn't, just a possible note

[honest crater]

gotcha ty but i want to do it legit, emperor bless us

[surreal lion]

i've got a question im trying to get the achievement "On Overwatch" and im wondering how i can do it?

[spiral gale]

Just wanna check. Saw the post below recently and im thinking of trying it out tomorrow.

But im not that good with this kinda stuff, so just wanna check how exactly wld i change the settings in step 3 and is it possible to reset them in case it causes something wrong in my game…?

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/z9a2fj/psa_rtx_is_always_on_despite_what_options_you/

[wintry onyx]

yes you can make a backup copy of the file

you would just use notepad, or any text editor program

[tall lantern]

push dog and dodge mutant, stay at the back of the group and always always watch ur back for random stabber, weapon wise knife is really good for dodging, ranged is whatever

[vernal pond]

do you get extra loot when u pick up scriptures and grimoires? like the "Emperors gift"?

[spiral gale]

Ahh. Is there a guide to it?😅 idk how to use either haha

[heavy shuttle]

How important is the 'shredder' stat line in the chainaxe for veteran?

[keen wedge]

it increases the individual chain strikes, which is nice. how practical it is, no idea but chain axes are fun

[keen wedge]

nope, at least not confirmed

[signal cipher]

The reason I stop playing vet

[bright mural]

same. Gets a bit long when you join a Heresy+ game and everyone is a fucking Vet, including yourself

[signal cipher]

Hopefully as they add more subclasses and stuff the sharpshooter vets will dissipate

[tacit moth]

someone down to help me do the flesh wound achievment for zealot, i dont want to annoy random groups with a speed run

[bright mural]

I hope so too. Though I do think 'Man with a gun' will always be incredibly popular lol

[signal cipher]

We vet rn is very popular because the bolter and power sword combo

Which is why I think most people play sharpshooter

[bright mural]

i'd argue the bolter isn't even his best weapon

powersword is broken af though lol

Bolter feels a bit more balanced, especially on the harder difficulties

[tacit moth]

bolter feels so clunky for me

[signal cipher]

Personally I like the Karl recon lasgun and most of the autoguns

Auto guns have a nasty headshot multiplier

[green axle]

whats the highest base item level possible?

[sleek mauve]

can some 1 help me get going out with a bang ?

[keen wedge]

380

[green axle]

thank you!

the highest ive seen so far was only 359 constantly

and for curios?

[hushed shell]

finally got enough melk points together, should I get this?

[pseudo reef]

anyone know the best place to farm resources?

i need a good combat knife or tact ax

[green axle]

thank you! and for curios? 😃

[bright mural]

anyone here know of a way to isolate the 'backstab' sound cue?

looking for that sound effect badly

the one that plays when an enemy is about to shank you

[tired crown]

I would buy that if it popped into my store, that's a pretty damn good one!

[tired crown]

Malice is the sweet spot for resources that I've noticed, not too difficult and they spawn really consistently.

[rigid wasp]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgz8hvLEjZo&t=138s&ab_channel=DigitalFoundry

idk wheter toput this here too

[heavy shuttle]

True this. Playing consistently 4+ will provide an abundance of diamante and a scarcity of plasteel.

[twilit socket]

do you get the same amount of plasteel at all difficulties or does higher difficulties make it drop less

[warped flint]

The blessings could be better, the 8% ranged damage is good. But the overall Damage and collateral is good

[warped flint]

Could re-roll the blessings later once this game decides to be finished and still not in fake full version

[hushed shell]

I think I am gonna stick with my FAL and wait for something else to show up in the shop

[sharp crane]

why do the class names have 2 parts? why not just veteran, zealot, psyker and ogryn?

[keen wedge]

the hope is that they will have more classes eventually

[sharp crane]

hm like ogryn-sniper lmao

[patent sapphire]

ogryn tactician

[sharp crane]

ogryn mastermind

[teal bone]

What actually causes the purple in the health bar apart from being downed?

[cursive citrus]

any down-like condition enemies inflict on you. Like dogs, traps, anything at all by beast of nurgle, and i think a little bit from mutants. And grimoires. Grimoires are the worst, never pick them up

[analog temple]

hey yo do you guys think this would be worth it ?

[cursive citrus]

nah, the secondary buffs are pretty meh

[analog temple]

combat ability and corrouption isnt good ?

[twin sinew]

Anyone know how to stop keybindings from resetting? My tag button goes back to unassigned after each launch.

[twin sinew]

stam regen and block efficiency would be my top 2 most wanted

[zenith lotus]

anyone have tips or able to help with "every shot counts penance"

[analog temple]

like this . allright haha

thx

[twin sinew]

yea that looks great

[slender pasture]

has anyone seen if u can get multiples of the same weekly contract? like 2 "pick up 12 scriptures" at the same time?

[twin sinew]

No easy way, did the smelter mission which has infinite hordes at the end. Get a premade together that's nice enough to let you do the challenge. Go your low ammo gun of choice. I did it with plasma gun (just make sure you don't get staggered because it makes you release the shot).

[zenith lotus]

okay ! thanks alot for the tips

[slender pasture]

cool cool ty

[green axle]

what does corruption resistance do exactly?

[cerulean crown]

I'm unable to launch the game, I get a backend error signing in, is this happening to anyone else?

[sour notch]

Fuck you fatshark, how the fuck do you overlook such a simple feature such telling the player there's a limit to contract switching

how in the fuck does that fall through the grater for you

[jagged olive]

Uh. anyone else notice the cosmetic shop timer is now gone?

did they seriously pull a FOMO on us only to take the timer out cause they actually DONT have more cosmetics to offer?

[sour notch]

@paper coral

[hollow basin]

is low shredder bad on zealot?

[keen wedge]

Reduce the buildup of purple in your healthbar from certain attacks. Also possibly grimoire damage.

[tired crown]

Certain damage sources don't just hurt you, they also lower your maximum health with the purple bar. Like beast of nurgle slime or dogs pouncing on you. Corruption resistance lowers that purple damage

[hybrid lance]

whats the green thing on the right? I noticed it on a lot of tech priest missions

but this mission was the duder

[green axle]

but how would it work on 1 damage instances

[keen wedge]

Just UI graphics

[green axle]

usually corrution isnt dealt in bursts

also i wonder if it helps agaisnt grimoires

[keen wedge]

Nobody can say for certain. Might be 0.1 reduction or none at all

[green axle]

i wish there was more clarity for all the stats

[hybrid lance]

are you sure? it's not consistently there either on location /etc

[keen wedge]

Yes. There are variations but the green thing has no real meaning. If I had to hazard a guess it would be who’s mission control for that

[keen wedge]

I gotta check that tomorrow. I was waiting for new cosmetics before I decided

[whole wasp]

How to stop the game from crashing non stop? cant even complete a single game play without a crash.

5950x, 650 pro, 64 gb ram, 3090 gpu
optimized on Gforce
integrity check
even a fresh install

still crashes

[hybrid lance]

I thought that was the case before because it seemed to be on all the tech priest missions, but, that one specifically was rannick

[molten pawn]

Does Darktide have a voice-chat indicator? I push my talk hotkey, speak, but get no response. I don't know whether it's because my teammates don't have a mic, or if it's because somehow my voice isn't coming through.

[dapper turret]

Push to talk is disabled by default

[patent sapphire]

it does, default is you can hear but not speak

[dapper turret]

You can enable it in the audio options

[patent sapphire]

yeah that

[molten pawn]

I'm aware - thus I specifically enabled Push-To-Talk in the options.

[dapper turret]

Its fucking stupid

V key for push to talk

Your teammates might just not be listening

[molten pawn]

Because I remember Vermintide 2 didn't have an indicator, I was hoping Darktide would get one.

[dapper turret]

Could someone please pin the fact that your voice chat is disabled by default. Its really stupid and needs to be adressed

[molten pawn]

But that said, supposing the voice-chat is setup properly and all - is there an icon anywhere to indicate "OK you are pushing the button now" or "OK I am detecting and transmitting your voice now" ?

[sour notch]

yeh

you get a little icon next to your player profile pic

discovered it after a guy in my game was touching the shit out his mic for 3 minutes

[molten pawn]

I'll keep an eye out for it.

Now I'm imagining what was going on with the mic-toucher

"Hello is this thing on?!" for 3 minutes straight 😂

[dapper turret]

It shows dor other players iircn

Not you

Which is stupid

[graceful halo]

I am dumb, i dont find how/where I can equip this. Any idea ?

[patent sapphire]

go to weapon cosmetic screen and there is a tab for accessories

hard to see if you don’t know it’s there, at the top of the selection list for skins

[graceful halo]

Omg never saw that little thing

Thanks

[patent sapphire]

yeah it’s not a great UI design lol

[hard goblet]

Can someone help me understand this crafting design decision?

[patent sapphire]

time sink

material sink

want you searching for stuff for longer

[hard goblet]

🤣

It's like they want their game to die faster.

[patent sapphire]

eventually they’re going to just let you rip blessings off and make them a higher tier and put them back on

[hard goblet]

Bets on that being locked to only once per weapon?

Oh oh, how about it being locked to only 5 times per month?

[crimson fable]

Sure, i'm with you on that bet

[hard goblet]

I really want to hear what the thought process was because I cannot see any justifiable reason that perk reroll limit would be implemented if they cared about the player's positive experience.

[tiny mason]

What does this blessing do? What is a Salvo?

[hard goblet]

Every shot fired within 1 second or so of each other counts as a part of 1 salvo.

Power is a stat that affects all other damage number formulas. Not sure exactly how it works yet.

[vocal epoch]

How does the "On Overwatch" penance work on veteran? What type of damage am i not allowed to take? Health or Toughness?

Im very confused as how on earth someone can complete this

[hard goblet]

I believe it checks only health.

[vocal epoch]

Ah, thank you

Now comes the hard part to actually complete it

[patent sapphire]

you can take toughness damage, you can take corruption to your health, and you can take ranged healthbar damage

[compact halo]

Do weekly objectives only work on certain difficulties and up? Ive been struggling with things like tomes and scriptures not counting on difficulty level 2

[patent sapphire]

you can’t get punched/slashed/ hit by the butt of a scabs gun and take damage to your health bar

[signal kite]

how do I farm the crafting materials faster?
every mission I do I only gret about 5~10 of the box looking ones

[vocal epoch]

Does that count for the flame throwers/pox throwers and poxbomber?

[patent sapphire]

are you on diff 2?

[vocal epoch]

I have seen somewhere that they count as melee damage

[patent sapphire]

not sure on flame throwers but i would stay out of the fire, box bursters are fine too

[vocal epoch]

Cheers 👍

[sinful prairie]

Game seems mostly fine, but every now and then I get what seems to be a huge fps drop for like 1-2 seconds. Often it's fatal. Does anyone know what causes this?

[zenith lotus]

Does anyone know “every shot count” penance if there is an ammo regen in the reserved clip but not loaded into weapon does that affect the penance completion ?

[hard goblet]

I've heard people say so long as it isn't loaded into your magazine it doesn't count against the penance, but I haven't been able to test it myself.

[lime imp]

Probably not since I got the penance ove the course of regular play

[zenith lotus]

Thank you. Will try

[twilit socket]

who gets these weapons

[red stratus]

have they added new weapons or?

[quick remnant]

Ogryn I suppose

[spring needle]

Anyone noticed a bit of lag lately?

[vocal epoch]

I did the penance thank you very much for the tip about the melee damage

[quick remnant]

Slight annotation, Achlys (Power Maul) is also a type of normal Axe

[fathom solar]

I do not know if this question is asked yet. But is it possible that when your penence is getting higher - u also get higher rating items out of the armory?

[quick remnant]

You mean trust ?

[fathom solar]

I am at lvl 30 a while and getting higher Trust ( yes sry...) and I see a few items what has a higher rating as the items before

[lime imp]

That sounds too positive for the player experience to be how it works

[quick remnant]

It's influenced by the equipement you have iitc

[lime imp]

If theres no shared inventory they wouldnt have thought to do that

[fathom solar]

Well . there is the Reliquary who has around 15 % toughness for example and has mostly around 93 - 94 rating and today ( after I hit 600 trust) I found a Reliquary that has 97 rating with 17% toughness ...

[patent sapphire]

yw

[fathom solar]

So when I upgrade my equipment - I will get better rating items out of the armory ?

[quick remnant]

Not sure, I think it's just the item rating

[fathom solar]

It must be my imagination or maybe it is just luck to find a high rating item like a weapon or a curio

[patent sapphire]

biggest factor in shop items is is character level, then there is rng, highest weapon rating is unconfirmed speculation

[iron ledge]

hey, what happened to the timer in the cash shop?

[void plaza]

[dapper turret]

No clue mate

[hard goblet]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Placeholder maybe?

[bitter summit]

Not sure but maybe it's one of the changes to "other functionalities"

[fathom solar]

What is the difference between them?

[tepid skiff]

the second one works.

as in, it's not interrupted by any break in a combo like block or push or whatnot.

the first one is.

[past shale]

what weapons are best as i lvl up my veteran?

[acoustic pewter]

if leveling on just malice and lower, id honetsly say the one that feels the best, cuz ur gonna be levelling for awhile lol

which is a non-answer, but playing a wep i dislike the feel of for the 20h+ it takes to level would make me burn out on the game

[tepid skiff]

whatever you have that drops or sells and looks good. it's the best time to get acquainted with the arsenal.

there aren't any outright bad weapons. well, blue headhunter rifle, maybe. but even it can do work.

oh, belay that. all three lucius patterns suck balls. but that is also subjective, and should be tested personally.

[heavy shuttle]

Kantrael Ia, IV, XII are all solid options for vet

[past shale]

and melee?

shovel?

i like the heavy attacks

horizontal sweeps

seems nice

[heavy shuttle]

Powersword is best. Catachan is runner up

[past shale]

ye but i am lvl 2 😄

[heavy shuttle]

Catachan devil claw with crowd control will work well

[past shale]

@heavy shuttleand for talents?

[heavy shuttle]

Feats?

[past shale]

y

[tepid skiff]

specifically mk1 catachan. others are worse.

[past shale]

especially the 1st tree, what tougness do you take on the vet
