is there a way of seeing what mission type I haven't done on heresy I am on 6/7
Unfortunately I don't think so, make a physical list, is what I did.
If you're on tier 1, you can check your overall mission counts and see which one is 0. Otherwise, you're just boned.
I think it's intentional to "promote more play".
must be intentional since it was in vermintide 2
Yes. It's an engagement-extension mechanic.
Paradoxically it makes me want to play significantly less
Yes, that's what happens when you get too heavy-handed with that sort of mechanic.
Is there a mechanic behind who hounds and mutants jump or is it random?
im not going to create an account on the forum just to shoot bugs for the devs but if anyone wants to share this, i got blowed up off the walkway and fell to the bottom of the shaft but didnt die. I was clipping through walls and had to kill myself for the team to finish.
What's the highest rating for white weapon?
Highest base total for the "Modifiers" section is 380. Since white has no perks or blessings, 380
So, i've been playing nothing but Zealot since the beta, and I'm now looking to play something else.. any suggestions? I can't decide.
380 right now.
Everybody get 5 character slots, why not just make a class each and try out what feels good to you?
Was hoping to get some insight before i invest time into a class i might potentially not enjoy, but I've decided to just go for Ogryn
I enjoy the melee combat the most in this game, and Psyker and Vet are more ranged focused
Vet has one of the best/strongest melee in-game rn. *Before future nerf
anyone here playing on 32:9 ?
That would have been my suggested litmus test
True, but most of their feats are focused on the ranged aspect
I did like the look of psyker, but general consensus seems to be they're the weakest class rn
They have their niche, and when played right they can save the team in a pinch. But yea, it's just a lot of hard work, without a lot of reward.
Oh yea for sure, I wasn't trying to discourage you or anything. Just discussing.
Yeah i know!
Psyker is goated in a good team with coordination, but I personally wouldn't want to PUG the class
so are the "mystery items" from Sire Melk worth it? Ive got like 800 points with him at lvl 26 and im wondering if i should actually use them
so what do i do with them at 30?
Stockpile them and buy legendary gear directly from Melk, instead of the mystery acquisitions
but only if the weapons are good
i dont even know how to tell if the weapons are good dude
Hey gang, what counts as a "terror specialist" for the Nightmare Patrol Penance?
You'll learn over time, basically you want the numbers to be as high as possible, 80% is the max a stat can go
Seems when you get weapons with very high stats, they'll be 70% on most, with 1 stat being at like 30%, ideally you want that low stat to be something you don't care about
so im looking at the individual stat bars? Shoot i havent seen one above 60 yet
Yeah, you won't start getting higher numbers until you're 30
Pretty much, looking for good items you can potentially craft into god rolls
Once the crafting system fully opens
so is it worth looking at lower tier weapons stats too in case its got 80 type stats and i can upgrade it?
yeah
Is there a way to check which missions i did for this Penance ?
no
big sad
yep
do we know what triggers emperor rewards? ive gotten a few in a row, and ive gotten none for dozens of games in a row
I hope yours isn’t bugged like mine
Assuming same logic for crafting mats right
Yeah
thoughts? dont have decent ripper. this one is 2500
what power level should your weapons be if you're running Malice?
You're now caught up on why a lot of us are salty.
200s is fine with good aim
jesus christ that’s a scam contract
Whats worse is I had no choice. Didn't know about the only 3 re-rolls and re-rolled a 10 monstrosity into that
oof
Also, almost completed it two days ago but this guy on our team deleted his grimoire to pick up an ammo crate
And that stupid mission never shows up
yeah
Took two freaking days of getting on just to see if it was going
Yeah those weeklies are an immediate reroll

such a stupid quest with missions on a rotation
Yeah. Already lodged feedback on the forum. Its fine as a weekly if it was just 'any secondary mission', but making it specific to a mission is stupid
The weeklies as a whole really need changing
One of them requires completing 25 Missions.
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but like, I'm not seeing Scabs spawn?
Yeah that's another bullshit weekly 😄 you can go 5+ missions without ever seeing any
or you get like.. 10 appear in the entire mission
Thats absolutely insane. A mission takes like half an hour to do
yeah, it's beyond stupid, especially because there are 4 classes
"This weekly requires TWELVE HOURS of play time to complete, teehee~"
Yeah all of this is absolutely horseshit and it's starting to wear on me
and the weeklies aren't shared, so if you wanted to get currency for all 4, l0l
It's like fatshark assume we're all unemployed bums with no other responsibilities
i mean its more like 20 minutes
I mean i am because I'm disabled, but that's beside the point.
and you complete it in parallel with others
You can't complete it in parallel with other classes
Thats still eight hours, lol
Are "+x% Corruption Resistance (Grimoires)" bugged? I have 2 tricket both with 15% (total 30%), and I'm comparing to the rest of my team, my corruption rate is pretty much the exact same as theirs.
That's 36 hours for four classes, which is horseshit
You say that, but i did my 25 missions weekly, still haven't done the 1000 ranged scab kills i have, even though the instant i notice scabs are in the mission, i purely stick to my ranged weapon
idk i don’t feel the need to max out every class every week
Also yeah, I got Vet and Zealot to 30, was working on Psyker and just said screw it since I don't wanna hunt weeklies that much
With how completely random the loot is, and how it's on a timer, it kinda forces you too
I feel trapped in one class per week and this shit sucks
otherwise "oh my god, god roll but i don't have the currency"
Not great, the stats are okay and the second blessing is good but the first is useless on that
Cleave targets seems like it would be the dump stat since its got infinite cleave while powered up
NO its decided!
lol
lol
I honestly thought the first blessing was nice on it, but then again I don't really do sword play I just pew pew people
Anyone have any suggestions for the pennance Heavyweight Champion?
i got stuck what do i do
Is it confirmed that "Refine Item" will be rng based?
Yeah, it is
also, holy mother of god I have not seen a single scab in 8 missions what the fuck.
Where is this info? They said they wanted to avoid rng before, but it wouldn't be the first time they've lied.
At the very least you're luck dependent on one slot, from the description, from the steam notes:
is there anywhere to see the base crit rate on weapons
Considering the previous statement on rng and that description, I lean towards it possibly being "pick your perks, but higher tier items get locked in". Surely they couldn't be dumb enough to make it rng based, then I remember it's not a lie, it's just no longer true
I lean towards it possibly being "pick your perks, but higher tier items get locked in"
Not sure how you could reach that conclusion when the description there is pretty unequivocal.
It doesn't make any distinctions between tiers for items.
This will apply to all perks you'd attempt to reroll on any item or weapon.
I did it, so happy
Mostly based on their previous statement about avoiding rng. Replace doesn't necessarily mean rng reroll. It's a poor description by them. Wouldn't be the first time they've lied.
As for the tiers it doesn't rule out replacing both perks once each or rolling multiple times on a blue then rolling the second perk on a purple multiple times.
I mean, considering how the store, weekly shop, and consecrating work, even before they announced this perk portion of crafting we already could see they'd lied and were going in on RNG rather than steering away from it.
Replace on its own doesn't necessarily mean RNG rerolling yes, but what you're doing is giving them the benefit of the doubt. If they were going to let you choose the perk, that is something they would tell rather than hide from the player. They would want to be obvious about something they know the players would like and be nebulous about things they know players won't like.
It's like how they used transfer and upgrading when describing how the blessing part of crafting would work.
That gives players a clear, direct indication of "Oh, I can take blessings from one weapon and put them on another of the same weapon".
The fact they said "replace" for perks but didn't use any words like "select" or "transfer" or other words that would definitively imply more agency means the only remaining conclusion is rerolling.
I don't have much hope in Fatshart at this point. First thing I'm testing is whether I can replace the perk on a green/blue multiple times, upgrade it to a purple, and then replace the second perk multiple times. If it is rng, that is probably the only path that could salvage their garbage crafting system.
crafting loop is going to be you get a blue with a good blessing and a good perk that you want to keep and consecrate it up to gold, if you got high tier keepable perks and blessings congrats you’re done. but you probably didn’t so the next step is ripping the bad blessings off and putting the good high tier ones on so you’re left with two good blessings you hand picked yourself, one good perk that came with the gun and one shitty perk that you paid hadron 150 diamantine to put on
that’s when you reroll the shitty perk until you get a good one
congrats perfect weapon
now how costly this all is in terms of time and resources is up in the air
The odds of finding a weapon in the rng armory with good stats and a good perk are incredibly low.
i have a few
i even won the consecration lottery once
but yeah it will be annoying trying to make something 100% perfect
dope
Okay, has anyone seen a single Scab today that wasn't a scab sniper?
Question about Perks: I am comparing two Surge Force staves, one had "+4% Ranged Damage (Elites) and one has "+15% Damage (Unarmored)" Is the second one intended to mean "Melee Damage" or does it apply to all damage types? Which would be the better choice?
Presumably the former will not include the staff melee attack from Weapon Special, the latter would typically be the better choice on a surge force staff as unarmored enemies are the only ones likely to die quickly enough for the bonus to matter from that particular staff.
Do we have an answer on why melks contracts dont track progress sometimes?
like any specific thing that causes it to happen?
There's a thread on the forums for it.
As far as I know, no discernible cause has been determined.

cant pick up the scripture
Is the shop rotation based on the weapon base rating or the other rating above it?
The 15% applies to all.
Gat an ogryn to grab it.
Pretty confident that it’s base rating. I’ve seen a steady rise from 330 to 360 after reaching lvl 30 and purchasing high based greys. This is only anecdotal though.
I see, also one more question, for power sword blessing is brutal momentum better than wrath?
seeing LFGs saying they are playing damnation is that a high difficulty or a level?
hardest difficulty
ah
Difficulty level 5. Level 4: Heresy. Level 3: Malice. Level 2: Sedition. Level 1: Uprising.
I’ve heard many people say BM is the best though I don’t myself understand why.
I’d kill for an official strategy guide.
Cheers
epic style
Is there localized melee damage? Ie should I aim for head/neck, Unarmored sections bs armored, or is it just light vs heavy
Melee damage is dependent on the region you hit, yes.
Head shots, extremities, armor or flesh, all matter.
hey uhm is anyone able to help me with the On Overwatch penance?
Most enemies are weak in the head and strong at the legs, chop their heads off
Enemy body armor does make a difference for some ballistic weapons
1 Enemy exception is Maulers (chainaxe enemies), they have strong carapace helmets so shoot their body
oh idk why i responded when you already got one
What is the best area to kill a lot of Scab?
how puggable is malice? been playing mostly 1 and 2 and they seem manageable
Very puggable
honestly heresy is fine too
Damnation is the only time it's hit or miss
cool, might give it a go tonight
with the new update on 14th can i replace both blessings on my knife?
I keep getting the weekly challenges but when I check sometimes it says it's still incomplete despite seeing it on the screen
Could anyone help a couple psykers do the 'going out with a bang' penance? Preferably an ogry to block elites while we overload ourselves.
so someone here said that stats cap at 80%, that being stats that go beyond that are reserved for reds?
can anyone explain what an "elite terrors" are?
i still need the achievment to kill 10 elite terrors, but the menu says 2 of 3
im, very confused
It looks like the Game Devs at Fat Shark even after the AMD Driver Update And The Game Update's still haven't got this pixel bug fixed yet, hey dev's i narrowed down where the problem is, it's the light quality! i found this out from changing the Light Quality setting, This is on high.
The crafting update on the 14th is only adding perk rerolling. Blessing functionality isn't in yet.
and this is on Low light Quality setting, FIX The Light Quality Dev's Please!!!!
How long are you going to ignore this BUG!!
i doubt they are ignoring it
lmao how about this bug? mutant threw me outside the map
welp time to explore
nvm found the bottom of the map
It Had this bug since before Beta ended
Hi. I have 3 questions, and I'm terrible at getting the information I'm looking for so here goes.
Is the Zealot's charge range determined by the weapon? I feel like I charge about 5 feet with a chainsword and 30 feet with a hammer. Is it changed by any other factors, like facing toward an enemy, having your hammer alternate charged/chainsaw revved up, ect?
When the Zealot activates their ability (Chastise the Wicked), how is the damage modifier applied to the consequent hit in the event of cleave? Do all targets hit take increased damage?
The Thrust Blessing says it increases damage by up to 5% based on the charge time of the heavy attack and stacks up to 3 times. Does this mean that if you attack 3 times quickly, you're stuck at +3% until the buff falls off, or will a new instance of a 5% stack refresh and replace lower stacks?
- zealot charge range is capped, but it actually has a lock-on system and it will extend itself up to a point so you can reach the target
its a very badly-explained ability, but unlike ogryn you actually charge to a target
how are these damage modifiers different? arent this gun inherently ranged? its kinda shit to do only 8% more when theres 20% on unarmored enemies no?>
Alright. Thanks for that one. Can it glitch? The reason I decided to ask is because I just charged about 60 feet
these are against different types of enemies
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Like noticeably substantially longer than I've previously been able to, and I was wondering HOW
you are asking this for a game full of bugs
you probably just locked on a target far away
Yeah fair enough. Thanks 😄
is the left one 8% more only to pox walker and groaners?
well, it says so clearly
💀 thats such a shit perk
it is
does anybody know how to fix the bug to get my socials to come up. all my friends and all the other tabs were there and i come back to it and theres nothing there
Is there some bug in the Cosmetics section?
It always shows as if I have a new cosmetic available, but I haven't got any.
Also apparently I got a bunch of stuff from launch, but I don't see it anywhere? :s
other character classes most likely
hello to all, does anyone by any chance have the list of weak points of elite checks please?

Idk if that’s what you mean
Perfect thank you !

Follow up on that, do ogryn counts as specialists for the +dmg against specialist perk?
No. They are elites
Crushers, Bulwarks and Reapers do. I THINK the Plague Ogryns count as Elites.
so am I crazy- there's no actual benefit to choosing quick play other than a shorter queue, right? If I have a fuller group, I probably want to choose a mission by hand?
Yup
Lol, that's left over from beta where the server was deluged with the same 5 questions every 30 seconds 😆
Oh don't test me, I'll ask every question again. I am quite stoopit
and yet want to know everything
Question: I hate the luscious charge lasgun, and its ironsight makes me sad. How are you meant to use this thing?
My trouble is that its so hard to hit a target with the ironsights that if I miss, I wasted all that time charging- and if it has similar stats to the normal lasgun, same damage vs flak/carapace etc, why bother?
Usage: don't miss. Its whole thing is being damn unforgiving.
Armor effectiveness: significantly better against armor than other lasguns when fully charged, especially against carapace.
hrm. Maybe tat my level, its benefit vs carapace is still too bad to notice
You will find this useful

thanks mate, I was worried that a lot of content might be outdated quickly because of the beta to launch, but I trust ye
why is crouching so bloody useless? enemy gunners can just hit you over it even if your not in eye site and sometimes i have had them shoot through walls
like oh look metal boxes ill take cover since its a SHOOTER game
I think the tutorial says to take cover too, ye
no they just sniper my one pixel thats exposed i guess
hell dodging when the gunners shoot at you seem to not work as well after an update now
i used to be able to avoid a few shots from one guy
but now they ALWAYS hit me and cover is worse
i can sometimes still avoid gunfire by side dodging
but cover is useless unless its a solid wall
and thats jusy stupid because gunners can get better cover than the player
Anyone any advice on how to do level 5 assassinations? Always fail the last fight against the Scab captain
until they fix it the easiest method is to just force him into melee and either fight him in the elevator or in a corner somewhere while dropping a First Aid at your feet
90% of his damage comes from his ranged weapon so you want to fight him in melee ... also melee attacks do alot more damage to his shield than bullets do
and his knockback AoE can be made alot easier to deal with if you fight him in a corner or the elevator, so you dont fly across half the room anymore
--Bring med packs. Drop them where the melee engagement is happening
--Designate two players to melee his shield and 2 players to wipe the adds
--Once his shield pops, pour damage into him with whatever your highest DPS options are
--Watch him closely for the kneel/crouch that precedes the shield blast thingy
--Repeat until dead.
Cheers will try that the next time, the last run was a pug. It felt doomed as we had 3 pyskers and myself a veteran I tried getting into melee with him but had no support as they all stood at a distance. I found his attacks shatttered my 300 toughness really quickly
Hey folks, is it already known how the item rating works?
On what the possible shop range depends? The highest item you already have in inventory? The Equipped one?
380 is max for base stats.
That makes 530-ish the max item rating, of I recall the perk+blessing max correctly.
No one understands the shop mechanic. It's all speculation. I got to lvl 27+ and started getting nice things. It's definitely not by equipped items, though
i mean if you roll 80% on everything then 400 should be max
also highest perks is i think 25 and highest blessing is 45
so that means 50 and 90 are possible max on blessing and perk
You can't get full 80s, as far as we can tell. Nothing higher than 380 has been seen.
fair enough
i did see someone having an item in pre-purchase beta with a statbar that definelty looked like 95% or more though
but that was before release patch
Yeah, I wouldn't trust anything numbers-related from pre-release
I know that 400 is max and 380 the current highest item, i meant if there is a known dependency what item rating comes in shop...sometimes i get a 360+ and then the other day the highest is 315, that a great difference imo
basically this game is meant to have constant updates and releases to keep it alive for as long as possible
it was just done in such a ham-fisted way I'm not sure it will ever achieve that vision
No one understands the shop mechanic. It's all speculation. I got to lvl 27+ and started getting nice things. It's definitely *not* by equipped items, though
First two sentences.
i personally believe that the shop takes either an average rating of the items in your inventory or the highest rating item in your inventory as a base ... but even then the range it allows for going down in possible rating is ridiculously large
also ... i have 2 plasma guns at 380 with 80% damage ... and i dont even like plasma guns
such a waste
i want an item-market where we can sell ingame-items for real money alá CS:GO ... thatd be hilarious
lol an ingame market to trade weapons, you lose your gear if you die in the hardest difficulty? can use lowerstuff to craft with? huh
you need be at least 1m (4feet) away from cover for it to work it seems (from the general direction of fire)
i think highest base rating
+RNG
Like I said, pure speculation
i know
so if I quickjoin in place of a bot who already died and got rescued once... does that count against Flawless Execution?
because I feel like it gets reset randomly...
Bug?
Im at the bottom of a level
The one where you destroy containers. Where im at the end
Any idea when we will be getting crossplay with xbox game pass members to steam members?
No.
Is there any way to get ahold of the support team?
The forums as linked in #technical-support . Discord and Reddit are not the place.
Thank you!
Anyone know if any Curios have +2 wounds?
So for a 'fully charge heavy' do I need to hold the heavy until it releases on it's own? Bully club btw.
What's the best way to get materials? is it level 3s?
For balanced materials, yes.
Who should I use for a character that is most fun- First time playing
Ogryn
If you like melee, ogryn or zealot. Would you rather support your team (ogryn) or be raw DPS (zealot)?
If you like ranged, veteran or psyker. Do you want to click heads and be high DPS? Veteran. Do you want cool magic powers and unique mechanics and to be a bit more supportive? Psyker.
If you have no preferences or prior video game experience, I recommend veteran.
👍
I'm having issues with the fact that I can't see shit on most maps
What's your GPU?
rx 6600xt
Well, that's definitely capable of handling lighting.
Did you adjust your gamma at all?
No
The lighting setting doesn't change how dark everything is
The only time I see enemies is when they are within 5m of me or from the muzzle flash of their guns
Are you sure you're not playing Lights Out/Power Outage combat condition maps?
Have you tried a gun with a flashlight?
The flashlight guns slightly increase how far I can
Can you get some screenshots?
I'm currently not at my computer
@echo kiln is this a known issue? Is there a fix for it?
Sorry for ping
Don't worry about pinging me. If I cared about pings I wouldn't have interacted.
Not one I've heard of, but you can head to #technical-support and #bug-reports and see if there are forum posts about it.
Absolutely love sitting at the mission table for forty minutes waiting for the ONE mission i need, getting into a team and then 2 teammates leave the second someone goes down.
What is the point of random matchmaking difficulties 4 and 5.
It doesnt work, it wastes everyones time and it makes me want to stop playing the game....
any tips on how to headpop 5 elites/specialist in 12 seconds for the psyker achievement?
Best way to level? Had it since beta but haven’t been able to play much due to crashes
is there any way to read the in depth lore filled item descriptions that the Beta had or are they gone forever in place of actual useful damage data?
Any missions that have a notable amount of dreg enemies specifically? Or is it evenly spread between dregs and scabs in missions? (Need to finish last weekly on alt asap xD)
does someone know when crafting is released can i removed infernus from a lucius and add it to a recon lasgun or does it only work from lucius to lucius?
- can i remove 2 blessings from one weapon? cuz this weapon is stacked
You will most likely be able to change from any weapon, no clue if extracting blessings will only remove one or all blessings on the gun, no one knows until they come out and directly confirm it.
alright ty ^^
Are the connections peer-to-peer or they have dedicated servers?
Anyone else on game pass pc and crashing loads?
On my last mission of Flawless Execution attempt, I crashed in the last mission at the mission awards part, does that mess up the penance?
Hi, did they nerf the maximum %thoughness on trinkets ? I have like 6 trinkets with 15% though, and a lot of 19/20% HP
Can't find anything over 15% toughness when you were supposed to be able to get 20%
Is anyone able to help complete the On Overwatch Penance for Guardsmen
no, 16/17% are just much more rare (haven't seen anything higher than that). 17% toughness is like getting a 21% HP
I see, I have one 16% thoughness but it's an old trinket, that's why i was starting to wonder
Thanks
Damn still getting error 2006
I have same trouble
have they fixed the weekly contracts?
Literally a difficult challenge even with friends
I'm having trouble figuring out what counts. some have said tox flamers/flamethrowers even count.
I once took a sniper hit and then the party said oh damn that sucks. So i guess snipers count?
I can't seem to get an accurate answer but I'm starting to feel like that +XX% Damage is melee, not ranged.
there's levels of perks
Hi, I don't really understand why those 2 talents (1st and 3rd) are so similar but also very different in % rate
Most enemies have the head as a weakspot, so obviously "Headhunter" is better than the first one ? Am I missing something ?
are you reading this on a website?
Yea, it's a website with builds where you can create/share yours
the bottom is the range from min to max tier
2% will be tier 1, 5% will be tier 4
i don't know what the first talent iis
Whays the highest damage you can get on a weapon, 80%?
is the grenadier gauntlet good?
is "Just A Flesh Wound" penance working?
Currently yeah the max stats are 80%
Yes
Penance - Untouchable. It count 'naturally' occurring corruption as damage to health?
Yes
Cleared another of each of the 7 mission types and still no penance completion. This game...
Hi gang. Is there a known issue of rebinding your jump key off your keyboard? When I rebind it from my space key (hate having dodge & jump on the same key) it stops my jump key from working when i'm sprinting. I have to let go of my shift key to jump at all. Can't tell if it's an issue with my mouse (logitech g500) or darktide or no idea. 🙃
Tried searching and googling and couldn't find anything. :(
How the bleeding works? Which weapon and attack?
Got a really good roll in the shop on a Devil's Claw. Should I grab it?
Veteran so I'd be swapping from Power Sword
is ''Deadly accurate'' blessing working yet? I saw multiple videos some days ago showing it was not working
anyone know if damage resistance to gunners on curios stacks?
What is recommended level for each difficulty?
2 you can do from the beginning and not hold people back if you know what you’re doing
for malice if you know what you’re doing you’ll still probably want your level 10 feats
Looking for people to complete challenges, who is up? I play on Gamepass
what class are you playing and what weapons are you using?
zealot, sword/lasgun
idk much about zealot i know a lot either favor the flamethrower for hordes or the bolter for armored ogryn
and the eviscerator for their melee
Yea I wish flamethrower would show up on my trader
I been watching for it for a couple days now
it’s also a matter of figuring out what you’re dying to
this was my first tide game and i wasn’t really consistent at malice until lvl 15-20 and it’s where i leveled the most from 20-30
Getting chipped away slowly by random hits until im just barely getting by lookin for next med station
using my special to keep my toughness up as much as possible
top one, as it lets you to block forever pretty much
biggest tip i got from someone who does diff 5 consistently is not to dodge too much and once i started actually thinking about dodges i got way more consistent
or bottom one if you feel 100% safe and stay at the back
basically to manage hordes you should be blocking and shoving not dodge dancing
ahhhhh
idk if you’re doing that but that’s what i was doing
I dodge too much
i make a circle around the horde dodging and attacking lol
Ill try more blocking
block-push if you have alot of enemies
basically you should be dodging to avoid specific attacks and shoving to create space
Ok deal
makes you space
ty guys
count is as an extra dodge
dodging doesn’t cost stam but it does stop your stam regen
hit - dogdge - hit - block either-push or dodge - hit - hit - dodge
use axe
ok
to pick 1 enemy at a time
AND focus on the flanks of the enemies
so if you got like 10 in hte middle and 3 on left side
you go for left side
more
so that you could outflank them and escape
kite them
never go for middle
unless you got ALOT of space behind you
I played this in beta(?) and Zealot felt a lot tankier or something then. I wasnt having these issues for some reason. I felt really strong
Ok cool im gonna go try all this
they nerfed dodged at some point in the beta
it’s now very limited when you run into the dodge limit
that's my axe
so op
there's another one, with finese instead of cleave
that's a good one too
so i finally got the plasma gun for the veteran, and while its cool as hell, im struggling to figure out how to use it, especially as im usually overheating before i can even take down all the specials in a wave. meanwhile the bolter and recon lasgun have been amazing
got a blue with upper 40% to low 50% accross the board
430ish damage without charge
and the perk is more damage to flak iirc, and the faster charging at low heat
but just mechanic wise, im struggling with it. should it be one shotting regular specials with body shots, or do i need to always charge?
one of my friends that i almost always play with is a psyker too, so maybe its just redudant with our team comp rn?
plasma gun is a gimmick. it can oneshot crushers on damnation, which is kinda cool, but that's about it.
figured, ill stick with the recon lasgun and bolter for now depending on teamcomp
will try to grind out an OP one once i hit 30 though, to cool not to
High damage high capacity is the best
kant12 is the best gun, yes.
kinda redundant when theres a preacher with a flamer though. bolter is the perfect take all comers it seems
Is the flawless execution penance and achievement, two different things?
I received the flawless execution penance but not the achievement on steam
bolter is amazing, but unwieldy. kant12 does everything a bolter does, except crushers and bulwarks, but on a twice larger magazine, twice the ammo pool, and double the accurate fire rate. and instant ready.
you can't quickly wipe 10 shooters from a mile
one tap headshots and the suppression from it helps with that a lot, but the kant is def better at it
also running with the frag regen rn and those help a lot with shooters
the supression from the frags and bolters causes them to hunker more, and after you pick off a few, the rest of my squad can usually psuh without issue
ideally you get them before you pull them and get most of the pack asap
also the frags have been great for revives
that they are. not to the extent of zealot nades, but still workable.
can someone explain to me what the blessing "slaughterer" does ? it gives power but what does power do?
how can I see which missions I did not finish in damnation difficulty?
power = dmg
But the game will not tell you which is the one you miss
so it doesn't extend the duration of lets say, the speacial from my power sword right ?
i think it's only light/heavy attacks
but you can test it in the grinder
ok thanks! and yea don't know why i didn't think of that 😅
trying to wrap my head around stamina and i think its bugged or something, each bar/block is supposed to represent one stamina right? So as ogryn i believe i have a base of 4 bars and equipping a club with plus 6 stamina lands me at 10 bars, but then equipping a curio with +2 stamina only adds one bar landing me at 11 bars.
@rigid wasp From what I saw on my char after ten it takes more to get an extra bar? I think if anyone else can confirm
going to test it right now
i dont think thats the case, as equipping a shield with base ogryn 4 stamina and the shields +3 stamina lands you at 7 stamina and now i equipped a curio with +3 stamina and it lands me at 8 bars
base ogryn 4 +3 from shield and a curio of +2 also lands you at 8 bars
if i had to quess, the +stamina on curios is bugged and only awards +1 stamina no matter what number it claims
i think you are correct
i was using the cleaver that gives +4; and my total stamina was 8
when i equiped my curio of +2 i ended up with 9 instead of 10
i tested with the bully +6 stamina club as wel; no curio is 10. with the +2 curio i ended up with 11
I have never played ogryn so i'm not sure on psyker it happened to me so that was only an assumption and I haven't really tested beyond 11 cause thats all i could get to with my current gear sorry if my info was wrong :/
yeah i tested with a bunch of curios and weapons and at first thought maybe the weapon +stamina meant whole bars and that the curios was +1 stamina for half a bar like it was in vermintide if i remember right but testing with two +3 staminas still did not award me 3 stamina bars so i do believe all curios give you the +1 stamina no matter what it read
its cool, no problem
it might be a prob with just the ogryn spesific aswel so, its fine ^^
going to test it with my vet
gonna check if i have stamina curios on my other chars
Anyone else have emporers gift be really really incosistent I've now done 23 missions without recieving one at level 3 or higher and I'm starting to think mine is like completely bugged or something
i have no idea what determines when you get a gift and when not, it has been inconsintent for me as well
Mine used to be like every 3-5 games or so, now idk what happened but I just don't get them
stamina curios are also seemingly bugged on zealot and give you only 1 stamina regardless of what it claims
i sadly don't have any to test with on other characters
out of the 141 total mission i have done i only received about 20 gifts total i think.
i just think the chance is realy low
The curios only giving 1 stamina is already an acknowledged bug
ah welp
ye
I can't believe I just played like 30 hours to complete these weekly missions before reset... Just did a mission for my final 2 grimoires... And they did not update.... Now with 9 minutes left... There is not enough time to complete... Anyone else experiencing this?
Yeah it's a known bug unfortunately. They don't always update properly
who are unarmored enemies?
Should I upgrade the first one or keep using the second one
They seem to be max upgraded ...?
First one says ''New blessing'' which means its in the upgrade station
So it shows the rating it can get
Not at my PC rn to conduct testing. Does a push deplete the power sword's charge?
you can go to the psychanium and hitting things will tell you the type of thing you hit, unarmoured literally means unarmoured folk, as well as unarmoured parts of enemies. As an example poxwalkers and infected are unarmoured as is the chest and back of bulwarks.

Sometimes I can't tell if I'm doing Heavy Attack right (I'm using an Xbox controller on PC). Do I have to hold it down until it hits automatically? Or can I just release it after my guy winds up?
Release after windup
Sweet, thanks!
Do I need to do a higher difficulty above Sedition after level 10? I haven't been getting any exp.
I certainly would. The level XP requirements get larger. You'll always get XP for any difficulty, though
Gotcha, thanks!
No more rerolls... Do i just give up on weekies this week?
Can always try to get premades to pursue it in #vox-lfg-lexicanum
Is there a limit to how many times you can reroll a contract? I rerolled a do secondary objectives in a specific mission contract into another one in a different mission and now I can't reroll anymore
Does anyone know how to bug it so i can reroll? I've done it before and rolled it 8 times and costed 17500. Not sure how i did that
Whether there is actually a global limit or if the system is bugged is TBD. People are reporting being unable to reroll at many different price points.
thanks
guess ill have to finish
guys how do i fix the bright light? Sometimes its hard to see the enemies
Bloom would be my first guess, but after that you're just gonna have to dick with lighting settings. That is literally the lighting system behaving as designed.
is this good
Yes. Gloryhunter kinda ass, but everything else is solid. Damage to unyielding is super nice for bosses.
Anyone know how to fix the desync lag issue? I'm not lagging myself 100% stable internet connection the game is literally lagging and disconnecting me.
In the the future, when you ask that sort of question, be on one of the screens that displays the Modifiers rating rather than being in the upgrade shop.
Makes it easier for others
Which screen?
Your inventory would be best.
Will do, thought they were the same
How does the 'pick up x amount of scriptures' weekly work? Does it count it if I put a scripture down and pick up another scripture from a different level, or can I effectively only get one scripture per run?
You have to be holding the scripture at the time a mission is completed in order for it to count.
it's however many scriptures your team exits the mission with
Ah, okay. I got the 25 one and don't have any re-rolls left x.x
Don't worry. The system is working as intended. :)
Fortunatly I was able to reroll that one
Game goes to black screen when trying to join a game. Hasn't done this before. Anyone have any ideas?
And those damn secondary objectives
In order:
Restart game
Restart computer
Check drivers
Check for RAM issues with a memory checker
Check for disk read/write issues
Reinstall
Wish there was a try on preview before wasting money on ugly cosmetics
Is there any workaround for the bug where contracts stop tracking progress?
No. You're waiting on a patch like the rest of us.
Awesome
I find restarting my client works
anyone got a good idea what Blessing the Rumbler on the left should roll when that finally comes in?
What's the difference between Lights Out and Ventilation Purge?
And is there a list somewhere of all possible conditions?

Anyone else having issues with Melk not tracking missions properly?
yes... if you can shove it from max distance

There’s currently an issue affecting some players where their weekly contracts will be stuck and won’t progress any further. We’re currently investigating!

Ok just making sure
What weapon is best to get the 100% accuracy penance with no ammo left
Shotgun or revolver. Plasma also works.
Shotgun has the advantage that only one pellet from any given shot needs to hit.
ok cool thanks.
do perks and blessings on your stowed weapon apply while stowed or only while active?
Only while active.
I'm convinced its impossible without a good team or cheating at the end by dc'ing and shooting the last shot into something
this penance blows
It's not well considered from a design perspective.
yeah its not great
Are melks random weapons actually higher average rating than the store?
^^this
base stats are what you want to look at first
I bought a grey with maxed stats and upgraded it to purple
Are the mission rotations random? or in some weird order I haven't seen heresy espionage for 3 nights now
Is this a fucking joke? Not a single legendary roll in the daily shop?
RNG Hell do indeed be Hell
excuse my laziness as I’m far from my keyboard to take a proper ss but
what does cleave mean here? Targets, damage, or both?
cause this sounds kind of insane
whatever “cleave” affects is getting +275% majority of the time with a horde
also, how tf long does Wrath last?
Press V to go into the weapon details. Then mouse over the bars and itll tell you exactly what each represents
I know that, I mean the blessings
There’s cleave damage and cleave targets
but the blessings just say cleave
Cleave is a weapon value
It is opposed by hit mass
As the weapon hits targets, the hit mass is added up. Once the hit mass total meet or exceeds the cleave value, the swing stops
yes but there’s two stats at the bottom there that are separate
but to his point cleave is broken down into both the hitmass component as represented as Cleave Targets, and the amount of damgae you deal to each successive enemy struck by the cleaving attack
cleave in the blessing is both of those combined
its just not clarified by the %s like the base stats are
Okay that’s what I wasn’t sure of
but before you think that weapon is particularly OP, consider the actual damage on it. yea itll cut through everything like butter, but it also kind of hits like a wet noodle
I wouldn’t say that’s a wet noodle
thats what makes power swords so actually busted. it removes hit mass, while retaining very very high swing power with special active
I’m psyker so I usually use force sword
i mean it kind of is a wet noodle. At 58 base light attack per swing, even assuming your cleave retains 100% of its damage on all targets struck (which it obviously wont), that's 6 attacks to kill a single pox walker on Damnation
thats pretty ass
But the cleave damage on that actually does 103% of damage on cleaved targets
thats not how cleave damage works
Wait, so how does the cleave damage work then
LFM dm me
Even if it was, 103% of 58 is 59.74
but then you increase that by 275% no?
huh?
The blessings
yea no, its not saying increase your base damage by 275%
its saying increase your cleave damage from what it would be, by 275%
cleave damage itself is still decaying on each target
it just means its decaying significantly less
I’ll have to test it because I don’t know what that actually looks like numbers wise
Yeah
they have a 6 pack of dense pox walkers for you
the low base damage on cleave weapons outside of power sword is part of the reason why axes are so popular atm
because yea its got shit cleave, but when 1 click = 1 kill, its all gravy
then you can have 0 hit mass blessings on axe, which while it has an admitedly tiny hit box, still does add some additional cleave potential to an already very strong base damage weapon
more like light spam while dodging. Axe has very good mobility and dodge distance
Cleaving axe sounds crazy
idk I like cleaving though. I tried using an axe but it just felt clunky to me
hey the numbers are the numbers, but at the end of the day you go with whats fun
i go with a combination
sometimes if a weapon is too good I’ll go with it over the fun factor
but I will never go with a trauma staff
it do be fun to be effective
I definitely noticed attacks were weaker than I’d expect with hordes, so I knew something was up, but didn’t really know or understand the specifics
but with your explanation and seeing the numbers in action it’ll probably make sense
I usually need a visual part to go with the info to solidify it in my brain
The one axe has a horizontal sweep on its push stab.
Something starting with an A.
Sorry I can't be more specific. I'm not the one in my group who uses it.
Would someone help me get a penance please ?
it's the 5
the 5 is the important part
nah that sucks
2 of those affixes aren't v useful
revive speed is alright if ur vet
but then you don't want health%
Game is too easy rn with good players so your affixes don't matter with them
with bad players your affixes matter and revive speed suddenly becomes good
does the make every shot count penance fail if you hit an enemy shield?
Do you have feedbacks about Power Sword vs Regular Sword in difficulty 4+ ?
Power Sword seems to clear must faster but needs more rooms to peek a boo and eventually you get hit.
Catachan Sword seems to be much better in survivability, crowd control even in small rooms, but you create massive crowd and gets hard to clear and move around to revive etc.
What s your opinion about that in 4+ ?
you always have space for power sword
worst case you push, dodge back while equipping nade, throw it
you have infinite nades anyway
I feel, the power sword needs this little extra time to be activated, sometimes it is enough to get hit.
The unlimited cleavage clears very weel
throw nade before charging if pressure is that high
I rarely have to use the nade even on damnation high intensity
if you feel pressure is too high it's prob because your positioning is wrong
get your back to a wall and move along it to limit available enemy slots
So you reckon power sword (as a vet) is much better even in massive crowd
yes and it's not even close
It s what i thought, i was trying different build
yeah it's brokenly good
power sword has an extra zero in its statline somewhere I'm pretty sure
no way it's intended
don't get too used to it cause it's getting nerfed
The only thing I saw from my catachan, is you can be cornered and bash like crazy and not die, but as soon as there is a nade/flame on you your screw
getting cornered by yourself is where you fucked up
should never be in that situation unless everyone else is literally dead
but power sword can clutch those easily
unfortunately, in 4+ high intensity with randoms, sometimes people get lost 😄
lack of comms
you can always follow someone
don't expect people to follow you
find the person you think is least retarded and stick to them like glue
I was just testing the catachan as it was a very good one, bu it seems my 350 power > 475 catachan
a level 200 power sword is better than any max rolled weapon and it's not even close
Catachan is probably better if you rush level2 for the daily tasks.
define catachan
you could be talking about 4 different weapons rn
ok 3 different weapons if it's a sword
Dont remember the mk
for speedrunning, you want the knife for the movetech
learn to remember the mk because that's the actual important part of a name
When was the last time someone saw Power Matrix (cryo rod Repair mission) with Heresy or Damnation difficulty? I have seen it come and go 3 times in a row only on Malice
That s where the power sword is broken.
It does crowd, elite, armor, nurgle and better than everything else.... crazy
Thanks for your feedback, that s what i was feeling with the power sword.
always assume fatshark games are less balanced than they should be
I ve seem myself cleaning better than zealot... I was like, it is not supposed to be like that
you have more horde clear than the rest of your team put together unless they're using ammo
mk3 cleaver ogryn is the closest runner up but even that's nowhere near
It makes Zealot less fun, and the other weapons obsolete...
Hiya, I'm looking for a fireteam to help out with the On-Overwatch penance before I pop a blood vessel
6/7 heresy mission types cleared, how the hell do I work out which one I'm missing

It sucks, we know, but it is what it is
Hilarious, thanks tho
what is the fastest mission to do for the 25 mission weekly?
The fact you need to make a spreadsheet to track this when we had this in VT2 is hilarious.
so I was playing around in a simulation with power perks on a combat shotgun, it has deathspitter (+5-6.5% Power for 1-1.375 seconds on Close Range Kill) and full bore (+2-5% Power for 5 seconds when every pellet in a shot hits the same enemy). None of em seem to make any difference in dmg after fulfilling the condition. Are the power increasing perks bugged in general? Is it just that the simulation is bugged, but it works in live games? Or is the increase of around 10% power just not big enough to change anything (well if its anything like VT2 it should change quite a lot, buut...)?
Ive also tried an atrox II tactical axe with 2 power perks (decimator and headtaker) that should be proccing on hit and the effect seemed similar - no dmg increase. Although in this case I was a bit less thorough with my tests, so could be my fault. That axe should be giving some ridiculous amounts of power though, considering its attack speed, it should easily increase by more than 50%
Did they make Mutants and Dogs harder to dodge after release? Feels like I was dodging them much more reliably during the PO beta
Dogs are just inconsistent in general because of their janky hit boxes and models imo. Mutants aren’t so bad, just need to dodge to the small arm side
For the scripture/grimoire weeklies, do we still have to personally pick up the books to get +1 to the weekly?
don't think that has ever been the case?
the weeklies just bug out every now and then and don't count them at all
Oooh, awesome. I've had times where it didn't tally them so assumed it was because I didn't personally pick up the book.
from my experience it doesn't count if you have to reconnect as well. Might be some other issues also
I think it counts even if you loose the mission, not 100% sure about that, but it seemed like I was getting progress on the weekly anyway
Yee I'm referring to times where we extract and my weekly total does not change.
As a side note, can anyone confirm if mission types that count towards Vantage Point are limited to a specific Raid mission? For example: you NEED to do the ammo raid not the rail yard Raid
Because I’m fairly certain that is a thing based on how I’ve completed multiple raid type missions and have not completed the penance
they fucked something up and it didn't count for the weeklies, was fixed on sunday
Wait, you can't replace the "complete 25 missions" weekly?
Tried on both my zealot and psyker, only that specific one can't be swapped out
Did you run out of weekly refreshes?
There's only a certain amount of times you can refresh them iirc
Ohhh it's not just increasing cost only?
No after like 4 refreshes you run out
Damn that sucks...
Any 2 people able to help out with a penance. req lvl 4 mission
The 25 mission is pretty good, no?
whatchu tryin to do
im game to help in a few if you need
How often do the map sets reset? I need 2ndary missions for a particular map but it's not appearing?
That is like the difficulty and seconday missions. I mean the maps themselves
I can't I reset to max
Oh well ty anyways
Does gunner damage reduction on a curio apply to both shotgunners and regular gunners? Or just the normal gunners?
I have a question about Plasma Guns. What is Charge Rate? Is that the reload speed?
Also I got a purple plasma gun awarded to me, but it's not as good as my blue one, should I discard it?
No, keep it because crafting will come Soon™️ and then you'll be able to use them to reroll your stats or combine them for better perks
Keep all weapons of the type you intend to improve once crafting becomes a thing because they will be useful then
Oh cool, thanks for letting me know!
Np
I'd guess that's the special attack button, check in your keybinds, but I'm not 100% sure as I've never used the plasma gun myself
I love my lasgun far too much
Haha I know how you feel
I was just testing out the Plasma as it's my favourite for tabletop :p
But the reload speed and overheating is a bit annoying
why are you even trying to help if you don't even know how to fire a plasma gun
@weak snow just hold down left click
charge rate is the time it takes to reach a full charge
Thanks!
Oh one last thing
How come I can't equip any Curios?
you unlocked the slots? i encountered a bug where i only have 1 curios and i couldn't equip it. got a new curios and i could finally equip it
Yea i've unlocked 2 slots, but when I click on the curios that I want to equip, there's no button to do so
Lemme try buy another one from the armoury and see if it fixes it
seems like the same bug
yeah try that
there's supposed to be a EQUIP button
but sometimes it doesnt appear
Ah I didn't know that. Appreciate the tip!
it didnt work with the curios one tho but glad i could help
Do you know when we get to unlock more armour etc?
curios are found when interacting with weapons.
choose a weapon and select "C" for appearance
as in other than the penances? not too sure on that, i'm struggling to get the last 3 penances for the psyker for now
aaand i see we're past that
I'm level 17 but i've only received one set of armour so far
only way i know for you to unlock armours are the penances & the currency shop
you talking about trinkets yeah?
yep i was just mistaken to the Nth degree
Where do I look at penances?
press escape and there's a menu
when on mourningstar
not a problem some people don't know about it still
Oh I didn't even know about this!
names for things got all switched around in my head there
hello mister i am not sure it's the best channel for speak about it because it's not about gameplay but i have a notification of cosmetic still here from days and don't understand what new i have got if anyone can help me or if it's a bug that will be fix ?
i think thats a known bug
hello mister i am not sure it's the best channel for speak about it because it's not about gameplay but i have a notification of cosmetic still here from days and don't understand what new i have got if anyone can help me or if it's a bug that will be fix ?
surely a bug. my preacher has the same thing. just leave it be. i know its annoying but yeah live with it for now
yeah there are other drop downs that shows you what to do to obtain newer armour sets
So i'm assuming every 5 levels up to 30 I unlock a piece
youtube is best for tips on how to do them
yeah but there are other pieces you can unlock
lemme get in-game and grab a screen
so you can get different armour pieces from doing those
you can click on them and the drop down will show you the piece you can obtain
what is a "dreg" and what is a "scab" for the weeklies?
dreg has yellow clothes scab has regular armor/helmets
thanks!
dregs are essentially just scum/bandits
scabs are ex-guardsmen
and yes, if its yellow, its a dreg
if its spiky, its a scab
not a problem
lucky week of tasks 😄
what does "locking on" mean for Zealot's special skill?
theres a limit on how many itens u can drop per week ?
When you hold the dash button while looking at an enemy in range, you should see them get a faint outline; this means you've designated them as your target, and you'll dash directly to them (even turning if they're moving, although you won't follow them out of range). It's a good idea to do this to extend the range of your dash, otherwise it only goes a few meters forward (you can pull off the lock-on by just tapping the button while looking at an enemy too, although your mileage may vary)
When contracts stop tracking progress is that just a UI bug or is it actually impossible to make progress for the week?
Don't think anyone will know but with more crafting coming soon It says that when we reroll perks we can do one and the others will be locked in that permanent or on case by case basis
Also if permanent if we reroll a green weapon with one perk slot and then upgrade it to purple when we get our second perk slot will the second be locked out or no?
UI bug, it may actually start tracking at some point again, usually does for me
Ah okay, so if I just run missions like normal the contracts will eventually complete even though I can't see progress?
Nobody knows for sure. There’s anecdotal evidence to say yes, or at least vastly decrease drops after a set number.
No, not like that, I usually either have to shut down for a bit and come back, or swap to another toon for a bit before it start continuing progress.
new achievement unlocked? 5 players
Got it, thanks. I'll try playing another char for a couple days and hope it starts working again later
It's happening for all 5 contracts on my main so that sort of sucks lol
Will do
Hey, does anyone know the criteria to progress the "Flawless Execution" penance? I decided to try and go out of my way to get it since it's been at 2/5 mission for a while. But I just completed a third keeping track of my downs and making sure I stayed up, and it hasn't gone up at all. I did get netted once but, I wouldn't have thought being hit by a disabler counted as a down?
I also used quick play to join matches mid completion but, I've always done that so I'd be surprised the tracker's even gone up to 2 if not doing that resets it
Anyone would be willing to help me finish the Sharpshooter Penances? On Overwatch and Every Shot Counts, Precisely?
My contracts started tracking progress again after about 1 day of not working
Friendship with Darktide reinstated ✅
Anyone willing to help me do the fleshwound-penance? 😄
Will help with other penances in return! 😄
Count me in!
What's that one?
Awesome, know any good way? I know for the Shot one you can quit after using all your ammo and come back at the end, shoot 3-5 times and it resets accuracy
Worth upgrading? Stopping power not being in the 70+ range has me wary
I've already got
Which enemy's are considered ''Elite'' ?
Maulers, all ogryns except plague ogryns and gunners if I'm not forgetting anything
Ragers, Maulers, Crushers, Bulwark,Reaper,
Quick question, are there levels with a guaranteed enemy faction? ie dregs vs scabs? Would be helpful to know for Melk's contracts and which weapons to take on which missions for some classes
Elites are shotgunners and gunners and the like I think, specials are mutants, dogs and possinly ogryns?
Hakuan seems more certain than me 😄
https://gamerant.com/warhammer-40000-darktide-every-special-elite-enemy-how-to-kill-them/#specialist-enemies-in-darktide this looks legit for the answer

May need some help with the "On Overwatch" Penance
So do I, we can trade
Might be down to do it later, didn't think someone would respond this quick tbh
What's the highest rating for a green weapon?
I tried for my make every shot count penance last night and was not able to get it. This has to be the hardest penance to get done considering you get ammo back on special kills and some mission stop spawning enemies at the end.
Yeah I can't seem to find one to buy from the armory
I have been using the shotgun
Maybe if I can get a revolver I can actually take my time getting shots instead of blasting away with the shotty lol 😆
Plasma rifle is also a good choice
I tried that but it's hit or miss on some shots especially when you have a team of pubs blasting everything that moves
I miss most of my shots due to teammates shooting everything that moves
I have no clue the right way to get it done. Because if I save my ammo for hordes and we only get 2 the entire mission I have to figure out a way to blow all my ammo at the end. And some mission stop spawning enemies at the end
Or I blow all my ammo mid mission in hope I only have a couple of rounds left at the end
For the Vantage Point Penance, is there a way I can find out which Mission type i'm missing for completion?
But with randoms sprinting around smacking and shooting everything there is a very high chance to miss a shot
Conclusion - make every shot count sucks ass and shouldn't be a penance
Could use some help with 'Going Out with a Bang' Penance if anyone's interested
Which one is that?
Blow up 3 elites with psyker death explosion
Real pain in the ass to do with either bots or players who aren't on board
Yeah because they kill everything
Penances are best done with a full team who are on board helping you complete it
Anyone down to help a vet comolete his last penance? on overwatch is a nightmare
I got mine painfully in randoms because I have no friends that play
I just need 3 penances across 2 classes left
You're going to need higher level missions, I'm afraid
It has to be done on heresy or higher. I've been trying heresy. I would do damnation but no one even attempts that with random I won't even try that. Most are idiots 🙄
Even heresy is hit or miss lol
Ah.
I recommend the smelter mission with the insane hordes at the end.
I've loading into a heresy mission and people died at the start to ogryns
Nope. Gotta keep a spreadsheet
That's actually a good idea but I've been kicked from missions because I've tried wasting my ammo at the end on hordes
You're gonna have to communicate. I suggest #vox-lfg-lexicanum
Seems like it
Yo my contracts are broke, dont progress and cant even pay to change them, button doesnt do anything.
Anyone else?
This is a known issue. You are one of hundreds or thousands of reports at this point. It's a listed known bug on the forums.
Okay thanks.
Kicked from missions?
Yes. There's a kickvote system
I've literally never been kicked from a party. Huh.
What weapon are you burning through ammo so fast they kick you?
I've seen people get upset when one person hogs all the ammo pickups, but kicking someone for shooting hordes is weird
Some weapons are very ammo efficient
my friends got the game on steam, I'm on gamepass and everybody in the lfg chats are like speedrunning or hunting achievements 🗿
solo running a game like this can get boring quick it sucks that they don't allow crossplatform across pc that really caught me off guard
Be more aware of what's causing you to take damage and take less of it. Lots of players trying malice/heresy don't treat their health as a precious resource and constantly take chip damage from wading into fights with poor positioning.
what are people's thoughts on zealot? I feel like the class is just an inbetween for ogryn and sharpshooter. youre mainly melee focused with a charge ability but you also get access to guns. I feel like itd be better to just choose one of the other classes
The first vox explains all voxes
ty
There's a lot of technical issues there, to be fair
Hey, quick question. Whats the name of the two perk/quirks at the top of a weapons stats? Like Assassin / Crowd Control or Torrent / Close Combat.
And is there a list somewhere for them and what they do?
afaik those dont do anything they are just tooltips to describe what the weapon supposedly is good / bad at
Torrent/rapid fire refer to fire rate of the weapon with torrent being the fastest, assassin is single target melee, whereas crowd control is weapons with large amounts of cleave
Aight, gotcha. Is there a Wiki with a list of all the different kinds of stats/perks yet?
Is there a special way to kill DaemonHosts that I'm missing, or is it just more than likely that you'll lose at least one party member on higher difficulties? I know blocking and dodging work but I find that my squad only whittles it to about half before whoever it is aggro'ed on finally finishes the person. Also I am not aware of any weakpoints on them other than maybe the head so if that's the case please inform me.
- Don't engage them. At all. Ever. Leave them be.
- The weak point is the head
- They're a DPS check. A lot of loadouts just don't clear them fast enough.
An easy loadout to kill them is Flamers w/ high Damage & Burn stats. Especially w/ Unyielding damage perks.
Hello
Is this the chat to ask for help completing penances and stuff?
if you need advice yes, if you need a team read #vox-lfg-lexicanum
I need advice
then ask away
class specific channels might have more specialized advice but someone here has probably done it
Okay, in short I'm trying to complete the "Dodge This (3)" penance and it's being a total pain to do
is that dodge 20 attacks in a row?
No, get 15 headshot kills in 10 seconds
oh
I was told to use the Accatran lasgun
Specifically, I'm using Mk II which has pretty much zero recoil
Are you sure?
i would try the kantrael lasgun, specifically the mg xii since it will be one trigger pull one kill
That's what it says
Let me check what I have
I don't have the XII right now, I don't think I even know which one it is
Playing Sharpshooter by the way
The Kantrael MG XII is what you'll want to look out for then.
are you class level 30 yet?
29
get to 30 and then run counter fire
Very close to 30
then any kantrael will pop heads
either of these worth upgrading or are they both pretty poop
and you can refresh indefinitely
Counterfire will also help.
My strategy so far was to just stand in front of a spawnpoint and blast away
But even at my best, I got to 13/15
The left one if you insist on upgrading.
How does this help?
Genuine question, I still don't know the skills very well
volley fire’s base duration is pretty short, counterfire refreshes the duration when you kill a highlighted enemy and also highlights all human sized shooters
Counterfire refreshes volley fire duration on highlighted enemy kills.
And highlights additional "shooter" enemies.
(except a certain class of scab but that’s not relevant)
Okay but why does Volley Fire matter?
it gives +25% damage so you’ll kill quicker with guns that aren’t the mg xii
Volley fire reduces your sway and increases your ranged damage by 25%.
yea
It's your F ability.
Oh okay so basically I can just keep the aim steady on the heads while they appear out of their holes
more importantly it highlights non-ogryn specials/elites
You don't need to camp a spawn door to get it.
It's easier than when the horde is already moving though, no?
That's how I got Dodge This 2, so I thought it'd make 3 easier as well
You can target shooters as well. Doesn't have to be poxwalkers.
I know, but I thought it'd be quicker if they all line up by themselves
I found it easier aiming at shooters since they stay still behind cover.
I agre on that part
But all this is reliant on the MG XII.
Its performance and handling characteristics really lend itself to efficient headshotting.
nah, it is helping all ranged wpns, lasguns actually the least imho
hows zealots ability in higher levels? is it practical in swarms since its mainly single target?
it still staggers the ones around, but if you want to run onto a horde on T5, you'd better be good
or soften with flamer/nades
does anything other than level affect the gear in the servitor, or should i stack power for better rolls?
Is it so different from the Accatran?
Base Rating, supposedly, so the number next to modifiers text on wpn screen
Very.
Isn't it a single shot rifle?
im just thinking that zealot is a weird in-between for ogryn and veteran since they are mostly melee with a charge but also get access to similar guns that vet gets
I'm not very quick going from target to target, I prefer unloading into the crowd
i think id prefer the sharpshooter ability and if I wanted a charge I might just play ogie
you'll love recon las then 😄
or try braced autogun
Yeah, the Accatran
That's what I'm using
I'll buy the MG XII for sure, but I think the Accatran is more my "style"
i love the xii
XII is more like a marksman las in comparison to Accatran being high-rpm assault
Will the later crafting options allow us to increase the % of a perk or blessing?
Thanks for your help everyone
I'm now starting on my quest to level 30, and to pop some heads
Perks can only be rerolled. You can't simply choose to increase the % based on what's been stated. Blessings will have a tier upgrade system where you can combine the same blessing to inceease its tier.

Shrine of the Omnissiah By now, many of you have fiercely proven your worth to the crew of the Mourningstar and have been rewarded with an ever-growing arsenal of weapons and curios drawn from Grendyl’s armoury. But how can you customise those weapons to better suit the demands of Atoma’s gruelling war zones?
I have a glitch where my Melk's contract progress isn't updating, has anyone else run into this?
There’s currently an issue affecting some players where their weekly contracts will be stuck and won’t progress any further. We’re currently investigating! In the meantime, please post all your reports of it here in this thread. It’s very important that you provide your player/steam ID/steam profile as well as some console logs. Console logs ma...
thanks
Ah. So turns out if you’re going for something like Vantage Point, only one type of Raid mission counts.
Here's something that really bothers me. The enemies use an entirely different cover system. They use a modern FPS cover system while you use Halo shields. Even when you're ducking behind a crate, they can, and will, shoot that small part of your body poking out with ease.
It would be way to hard to implement a hard cover system in the version of the game because the game isn't about taking your time and taking cover it's about clearing your way through hordes of enemies quickly and effectively as possible to the end
Right, and it's hard when you get downed so quickly because you're getting shot and melee'd at the same time or you couldn't get out of fire fast enough so you lose all your toughness instantly
I love the game, but it needs some polish
I apologize in advance if this is not the ideal channel for this line of questioning, buuuuut
Am I to understand that the armory has been tweaked so that decent stat grey-tier items are now less common or something to that effect?
where did you hear that lol
Some player discussion
unless there're patch notes from Fatshark in an update, I wouldn't put too much stock into it
Hello.Anyone willing to help me with heavy weight champion penance?
Question: Why is the comms wheel so sloppy? The one in VT2 requires very little movement to select a callout, whereas in DT I have practically look at my feet to make a thankyou call
