[cosmic widget]

awesome, then we have a full squad then. I'll be in strike team uh...

strike team 75

@solid steeple you ready?

mind you me and my buddy are on pc

[hard goblet]

Gamepass users have a separate version of the game.

[cosmic widget]

oh

Uh do steam users go under looking for microsoft or just looking for game for any region?

[trail fog]

Hello, can I get some help to do the zealot quest " finish a difficulty 4 under 20 minutes" please ?

[solid steeple]

yeah i just finished a game

im also on pc homie

[solid steeple]

hopping in now

[bold herald]

will a curio (base budget ~50) roll into lower perks than a curio (base budget ~70)?

[hard goblet]

Ideally you would match region and game version with where you are in the world and what platform you're on.

[cosmic widget]

oh shit I forgot, I moved on as I thought you left

[solid steeple]

It’s np

[cosmic widget]

here sorry

[restive island]

This keeps popping up trying to boot up the game. anyone know what's going on with it?

[hard goblet]

It means some sort of server issue on Fatshark's end is preventing you from signing in.

[cosmic widget]

Anybody wanna be a 4th person for our penance grinding crusade.

If so join strike team 75

[signal wyvern]

is there any way to force a particular damnation mission? I need investigation type missions for my damnation frame but that mission is so rare...

[heady citrus]

Not yet. Need to wait

[thorn ice]

There are 7 mission types right? What am I missing? I have Strike, Disruption, Assassination, Espionage, and Investigation done on T5.

[signal wyvern]

raid

Well, if anyone sees a investigation mission on damnation, please DM me, tyvm!

[thorn ice]

Ohhh repair is the last one

[keen wasp]

not sure if you still need it but something to replace ur placeholder

[inner mesa]

hi all, could someone explain the no respite blessing? also opening salvo, how does that apply on a semi auto weapon?

[keen wasp]

so stagger has multiple levels. you can tell by the state of the enemy (interrupted animation, almost falling over animation, fallen on his ass animation)

the more staggered the closer to 12.5% more damage it gets

[topaz lark]

no respite increased damage dealt to staggered enemies, scaling with weapons stagger

[inner mesa]

thank you, opening salvo, how does that apply with a semi auto weapon etc?

[topaz lark]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

only way to see is to test

you see the weapons base damage on the card

and you can see damage vs enemy type in the table

if you do exactly as it states, opening salvo does nothing

[warm night]

This is what I thought as well. Shotgun seems to always do max No Respite bonus

[keen wasp]

idk either the devs fucked up or it should work on ever shot since a salvo on a semi auto is... one shot

[topaz lark]

yes, but game also generates blessings that scale the longer you fire ... on single-shot weapons

so its safe to say not much thought went into blessing selection

[keen wasp]

so devs fucked up i guess

[warm night]

Salvo has more to do with shots fired before a weapon swap or reload I thought. I don't have the exact answer

[topaz lark]

tldr - yes, you can get a completely useless blessing

[inner mesa]

thats my thought, a salvo is a single trigger pull, but on a semi thats 1 shot

[keen wasp]

basically wait until they introduce reblessings and until then keep it cus pretty good roll on stats imo

[dense ruin]

is there any weapon for Veteran that has good light attack cleave

[hard goblet]

On the MG XII, any shots fired within 1 second of the last shot count as part of the same salvo.

[inner mesa]

so every 1 second i get the bonus?

[hard goblet]

Based on the testing I did in the meat grinder.

[hard goblet]

No.

Every time there is a gap of 1 second between the last shot you fired and the next shot you want to fire, you gain the bonus.

[keen wasp]

time for dps comparison to see if it's worth waiting

[topaz lark]

power sword

[dense ruin]

that's not good light attack cleave

[topaz lark]

thats best light attack cleave in the game, as long as you pop the special

used to be literally infinite cleave

now its just very big

[hard goblet]

In my opinion, Opening Salvo isn't meant to contribute to DPS really meaningfully. However, it is meant to ensure that you can burst down specials or gunners when you need to.

[dense ruin]

"as long as you pop the special"

and that's still not true

even with special it is worse than mk 3 cleaver

questionable if better than mk 5 dueling sword

you have to weakspot unarmored to 2 shot horde with lights

well I guess with power cycling + bonus cleave it works

[stark stream]

Anyone have steam connection issues? Cannot play darktide without steam connection.

[nova fractal]

Its steam maintenance today

[stark stream]

ahh okay thanks!

[hushed shell]

how are the rules on Makros?
using a headhunter (the single shot rifle) and I really do not have the need to get myself carpal tunnel syndrome

[nova fractal]

You're fine to use them.

[hushed shell]

good
gonna be honest I like the Headhunter with the help of a Makro
got a nice feel to it

[rotund ravine]

on the kantrael mg Xll its around a 1 second delay between shots to reset the salvo timer so you can get the damage bonus again

i was told different weapons have different timers for salvo resets

but didn't test any other

[worthy shoal]

Feel like the game could explain its core mechincs and stats better, I understand them fine, but keep meeting players that are having issues understanding the game

[balmy venture]

Opening Salvo : + x% power on the first shot of a salvo. How does it work with a semi auto lasgun ?

is it always on, or does it need a little delay between each semi auto shots?

[rotund ravine]

it needs a delay between shots

for the kantrael GM Xll is around 1 second delay to get the bonus from opening salvo again

[balmy venture]

it seems interesting on the xii,

[past flax]

that's what people have been recommending as a BIS blessing

[balmy venture]

as you most likely shoot carefully and not spam like the faster version

[past flax]

in addition to deadly accurate/ghost

[balmy venture]

just got a 7.5% on a Xii, thx, i am going to test it in the training room

[past flax]

Let me know your findings! You should be able to get a gist of the proc rate, even with crits throwing a wrench into the dmg numbers!

[balmy venture]

Indeed it works:
Damnation small Carapace: 143 dmg, i wait a second 143, if i spam 133 dmg

Unyielding 20% = 350 first 325 second

[rotund ravine]

hmmm, no the kantrael rifles don't have good carapace damage, if you shooting the mauler, his body is flack only the head is carapace

[balmy venture]

The cooldown is a lot less than 1s

[jade knot]

so i know the quality of shop items is based on the items in your inv, is it worth it to upgrade a decent weapon if i have the spare mats so i get better shop results

[balmy venture]

correct FLAK

[jade knot]

for some reason it feels like only items i buy affect what i get in the future

[patent sapphire]

it is based on your character level

[balmy venture]

It is not 1s btw

The salvo stops when you give a delay, basicaly as soon as you stop chaining the shots, it resets

[rotund ravine]

i think its the weapon base stats that matter the most, but there is no proven relativity to weapon ratting on your inventory and your shops.

[rotund ravine]

oh nice

[balmy venture]

I can get consistant 143 if i micro pause

and only 133 if i frenzy click

[jade knot]

so i should be looking for base stats as close to 380

[balmy venture]

so it is virtually an all time buff if you micro pause well

[patent sapphire]

350 plus is pretty rare and 360+ is very rare

[jade knot]

ah. i thought i saw somwehere 380 was the highest possible

[inner mesa]

over 350. im lucky i picked up 2 guns at 380, just not guns that id use on my vet lol.

[patent sapphire]

380 is vanishingly rare

[jade knot]

gotchya

[rotund ravine]

Ye, but again i will say, there is nothing proving a relation between your weapons on inventory and your shop drops, you can get the high rated weapons just in case tho..

[patent sapphire]

i’ve seen 2 in 150 hours

[restive wren]

Quick question: Can ANYTHING be done about the
"Unable to preform operation" Error when you refine a Perk ?

[rotund ravine]

i have a tactical axe with 370 base stats on my veteran but i just keep finding 320~ rating melee weapons still

[patent sapphire]

it fixed itself for me after doing a mission, i’ve heard restarting should fix it

[restive wren]

oh ok

[jade knot]

gotchya, i wonder where i picked that up

[patent sapphire]

once you hit level 30 your shop drops will be random between 280 and 380 with an average of about 330

[jade knot]

i love the lottery

[balmy venture]

100h+ here with Vet, doing all the quest and shit. I must have 10/15max weapons in the 350+ regions and maybe 4-5 in the 360s (cc + shot).
And most of them are not the one I use nor the nice perks.
Most of them where obtained as a mission reward, and whaeter lvl2 or4 did not matter....
The conclusion is that you should start looking for 340s with the best perks.

[rotund ravine]

common say amongst people, yet they all assuming it.

although i have a kantrael mg xll with almost god roll blessings and perks, but a base rating of 310~

each is sad

[patent sapphire]

it’s a persistent bit of misinfo that’s been around since before the beta

[inner mesa]

oooh, emprah gift, looks a bit disgusting. shame i never use plasma.

[balmy venture]

I was looking for a xii recently cause in lvl4+ bolter is draining ammo like crazy.
I took me a week to have one in the shop looool
But the stats were okish

[patent sapphire]

it feels like the shop items get better when your items get better because you’re leveling up once or twice per shop reset and buying higher rated weapons at the same time

[balmy venture]

It was a green, and just added the Opening Salvo

[rotund ravine]

i have since the time i took this screen shot rerolled the perk of damage to groaners and pox walkers into reload speed.

[inner mesa]

xii is pretty much the goto weapon for a vet. combined with ult, its actually very devastating as you keep it up for long periods. i quite often have it running until it coolsdown lol. add 75% damage reduction from ranged perk. mobile tank

[past flax]

[rotund ravine]

its the ultimate anti enemy ranged weapon

i love just gunning down all the gunners

[past flax]

I rerolled off my reload speed for more damage lol

[rotund ravine]

and then the team can do whatever they want

[past flax]

it's already pretty fast

[patent sapphire]

i wouldn’t change a single thing about mine except the tier of between the eyes

[inner mesa]

id like to reroll no respite when we can. otherwise its a solid gun

[rotund ravine]

if i had some better base stats or higher blessings i could 1 tap headshot the scab flamers with veteran ability, it would be a awesome breakpoint to reach.

[past flax]

obligatory XII

[balmy venture]

I love the combo Bolter - Power Sw.
But it is not viable in lvl5, not enough ammo, and lvl4 it depends of the mod/maps.
xii seems to be doing the job well, with the Volley Fire + HS, it downs things quickly enough, and you can also spam the hordes

Counter sniper better as well.

[balmy venture]

Nice roll and stats. after 100h+ my best gun is a 366 base...

kind of lame... I think you arrive at a point where you connect to the game just to look the shop only

[past flax]

Yep, my biggest gripe with the game rn. My progression is tied to RNG at the shop, and minimally to actually playing the game.

[balmy venture]

I got better reward by spamming quick lvl2 games for grimoire than trying hard high intense lvl4

[celest cobalt]

https://streamable.com/0q1oyr Is this normal? Says I have just over 700 Plasteel during end mission part, then It says I have 500 something in social area

[balmy venture]

Does not make sense... and when will get the 2 other craft options, it will be a pain to farm the diams

[rotund ravine]

i sort off burnt out of the game 140~ hours in, trying to lvl up 1 of each character was such a pain, and i don't get anything usable on my favored characters, it was kind of painful by the end, really wish at least the crafting resources where shared between characters.

[balmy venture]

I would go deeper, the armory and ressources are shared

Just level lock and that s it

[rotund ravine]

I mean, it worked fine in Vermintide 2.

[balmy venture]

My first tide game, cant compare

[rotund ravine]

the shared recourses.

[balmy venture]

Ok, the greed, the race to p2w

That s the new gaming order

[rotund ravine]

if you try vermintide 2, the progression will feel so much better, simply of how smooth it keeps coming

weapon gear levels increase slower but steadily, and gear score is shared between characters, so you can drop of you lvl 30 and go level up a different one while still progressing gear on all of them, while also allowing your low lvl characters to start off stronger and go straight into higher difficulties.

so you would both progress your favored character gear power and level up a different character at the same time, you would never feel like you where wasting time by playing a different character

[balmy venture]

makes sense

[rotund ravine]

crafting resources and curios where also shared

[balmy venture]

What is astonishing is they know what worked/works and not.
People are not that incompetent, so there is an agenda behind, and clearly it is $$

[rotund ravine]

its smooth, it keeps rewarding you, it makes playing all the different classes pleasant rather than a monotonous grind

[balmy venture]

the game itself is incomplete

[rotund ravine]

ye :(

it will hopefully become better

[balmy venture]

when you ll be done with it and the player base will be like Bf2042 😄

[rotund ravine]

vermintide 2 was not perfect on launch either, it was better at launch than darktide is, but still not perfect and fat shark always supported their games heavily after launch

[balmy venture]

gameplay, mechanics and graphisms are good, so for now, i ll open the shop, play or not an hour and that s it, waiting for more content

[rotund ravine]

Ye, the core gameplay loop is there, its the progression that is aggravating , and lack of map selector , and the hub lacks the charm of the vermintide 2 one although this last one is kind of not quite necessary XD

[restive wren]

mention: Restarting does not work, BUT actually COMPLETING another mission fixed it for me.

[patent sapphire]

good to know

[rotund ravine]

well lets just hope that the crafting system once fully implemented becomes a nicer experience

[hard goblet]

They said they'd roll it out through December, so.

[celest cobalt]

https://streamable.com/0q1oyr is this a known bug? I went from 700 something plasteel to 500 something when I got back to morningstar

[verbal wyvern]

Has the "Until death" perk been mentioned in the bug report about it popping for no reason (without being hit whilst at 2 health)

[signal kite]

are the crafting material shared when picked up or is it something I need to loot goblin?

[jaunty lance]

Should I switch?

A bit lower damage but bonus vs elites which is kind of what I want/need. Plus faster attack speed. But is it worth it just for that?

Nice Cleave Targets as well I guess.

[warm night]

It's shared. But for the record a loot goblin wouldn't ask. Just take shiny.

[signal kite]

yeah... but I feeeel bad

[warm night]

You feel bad for all of the shinies that you can't give a good home.

[signal kite]

i see

[worldly crag]

what does uninterruptable do?

[sharp flame]

hi im new to warhammer... wth am i doing in this game

[rotund ravine]

PURGING HERETICS!

[sharp flame]

haha

[rotund ravine]

FOR THE EMPEROR!

[rotund ravine]

now for real, where you looking for basic lore to understand the theme?
or gameplay tips?

[sharp flame]

gameplay tips

[raw sage]

What's with all the "failed joining server" today?

[rotund ravine]

One thing to follow is sort of obvious but its stay with the team, you are stronger when together, but sometimes the rule of twos applies, each is when the team slips for some reason, if you see 2 going 1 way and 1 going the other, it would probably help if you stayed with the other 1 as long as he has shown mechanical competence(knows how to fight the enemy well enough).

Then a very important thing about the game, melee fighting, don't fear it, if you want to handle the game you will need to become competent at it, block and shove are great friends, and dodges backwards to gain space and avoid getting swarmed will make you last a lot longer in the match.

Covering allies is an important skill, don't let them deal with larger groups of enemies on their own even if they should be able to do it, help them clear so they are available to continue doing his part properly, also some weapons and classes are better at dealing with certain enemy types, killing weak enemies that could hinder their ability to deal with those threats can make tense situations cake walks. However one sadly can't always count on team mates but its necessary still.

And learning about special enemies is sadly something you going to have to learn by practice by the most part, but a few tips will be here, mutant is a large enemy that will charge at you, if he is charging at you its best to stand your ground and try to dodge side ways as late as possible.
The hellhound will try to pounce on you looking you underneath him until an ally rescues you, but you can dodge sideways to dodge him, or do a melee weapon shove(and some ranged weapons with high stagger) to throw him aside while he is in the air jumping at you, you can do both at the same time for extra security.
Trapper net can be dodged side ways, wait until you hear the net being cranked, and dodge side ways during the time that sound happens and the net shoots, and you should be fine.

Flamers and grenadiers both set fire to the environment , fire will immediately break your toughness making your hp vulnerable and doing small staggers on your character. try to avoid fire by all means, even if you have to wait to rejoin your team, normally people wait for the fire to clear before continuing if an ally is stuck behind it

and just make an habit of spinning 360 at times, just to check where all your teammates are. so you have information of that front

can't think of many more tips right now, but there are probably more that could be given

[sterile gate]

Does general corruption resistance on curios help with grimoires, or only the type received from damage taken to your health?

[sharp flame]

thanks that helped alot

what about stuff like weapos?

[rotund ravine]

most weapons are reliable, i recommend a little bit of experimentation, but if you tell me what class you are i can give you some recommendations of what to look for

[sharp flame]

pyskinetic thing

psyker

[noble crow]

Hi! I was wondering if I could get some help with the flesh wound zealot penance if possible

[rotund ravine]

ha psyker will only unlock his staffs from lvl 8 forward sadly, the only weapons that are currently kind of bad are the infantry autoguns (braced ones are good) so you can play with most weapons and be fine. i recommend for melee maybe a catachan MK l sword, since its good for hitting many weak enemies each is what the psyker struggles the most early

[sharp flame]

thx alot man

[rotund ravine]

the heavy axe i would avoid, until you higher level and can start looking for blessing on weapons

[rotund ravine]

have fun my dude, the game is a bit hard, but you will get the hang of it, just takes a bit of experience.

[rotund ravine]

oh and i forgot, armors, unarmored takes full damage, flak armor is some what resistant to many weapons but can still be hurt by every weapon, and carapace armor, needs specific weapons with armor piecing or something similar to deal damage to it. in the case of psyker your head pop ignores all armor so it can be used to kill heavily armored enemies that can be hard to fight normally.
mind some enemies have multiple armors in different areas of the body, the mauler being the most common on earlier difficulties, having carapace on the head and flack on the rest of the body, so you actually want to shoot them on the body rather than the head.(or just head pop them as psykers do.)

[jaunty sierra]

is psyker the worst class? or i just suck?

[rotund ravine]

psyker as the probably weakest early levels in the game, if you started with it recently, it will feel a bit weak.

when you get some good staffs and builds going, you will be king of crowd control, and decent short/mid range damage.

[warped summit]

Is the highest the Crit Chance perk can go +4%? Just want to know if there's any point rerolling it on my Combat Knife

oop, nvm

That one took a while

[molten pawn]

I'm only level 10 with mine, but I adored playing my Psyker as a specials killer. His head-splode ability ignores armor. All I need to do is look at an elite and he dies in two seconds. I don't even need to stare at him! I just lock on and turn away, or hide somewhere. Kaboom! Next to no aiming required.

[signal wyvern]

what happens when i quick play a damnation game when there are no damnation maps available on the hub?

[fallow heart]

Playing with bots is really brutal, is there a way to not start a game until the party is full?

[signal wyvern]

i'm trying to force a damnation mission for investigation

need it for the frame

[dreamy pasture]

Worth getting the Cleaver to replace the Maul? Super early i know but just want to get an idea of how i should be upgrading

[rare spruce]

is this a buy or no buy

for vet

[honest sky]

I just came here looking for a UK squad to play with?

[dreamy pasture]

#vox-lfg-emea

[odd sparrow]

Try everything while leveling because everything is viable when your not running heresy or damnation.
If it feels bad just go back to cleaver

[cunning field]

Does anyone know how many missions are needed for the penance Adapt to the Environment (5)?

[azure fable]

For the love of god please stop trying to play heresy + without being level 30. I'm sure you're good. You're probably one of the few ones who's just that good. You're SO good, even the best. I bet you're in the top percentile. You could do it at level one even. You don't even need a gun, probably could do it playing with only one hand on a guitar hero controller, knife only. Blindfolded, even. All the same, stop fucking doing it.

Tell your friends.

[serene shell]

does anyone know if there is a list somewhere of portrait frame and how to unlock them? I have no clue how I unlocked any of my frames other than looking at every single penance and checking them

[dreamy pasture]

Cheers mate

[edgy wedge]

bro has lost one too many missions with humans who larping as bots

[broken cypress]

there's new icons in the mission terminal, anyone know what they mean?

[cunning field]

They are supposed to represent the highest level you've completed them on

Looks like you've done a lot of. Malice, no heresy or damnation though

[bleak maple]

who are the elite enemies? my weapon shows 10% ranged damage to elites

[tepid skiff]

gunners, shotgunners, ragers, maulers, bulwarks, crushers.

[paper holly]

@dreamy pasture

Get one of every type of weapon you see. Replace with better stats + perks + blessings later.

You never know what playstyle you'll end up enjoying and what build will enable a new one to pop up.

[jaunty cobalt]

the crafting materials we collect from mission is shared among teamates or for ourselves?

[rigid wasp]

Shared

[jaunty cobalt]

I see , thanks mate

[rigid wasp]

I can confirmed this when i joined a mission after they just defeated the assasination target and then the game ended lol

[chrome rock]

Is there anything that can be done to relieve the error 9999 crashes. Getting them a lot lately.

[turbid dock]

I do damnation with level 21

[silent frigate]

Confused wif these cheevs. Is it heresy or damnation you have to do? . _ .

[jaunty cobalt]

damnation

[silent frigate]

wish chu could see what you did already >.>

ty

[jaunty cobalt]

yeah , I litterally make a note on which mission type tht I already done

sounds funny but saves me some time and energy lol xD

[silent frigate]

yea I did an espionage earlier but it didn't update so idk

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[jaunty cobalt]

I think theres a mark on the mission which you've done on highest difficulty

[lucid atlas]

is crafting the only way to get better gear? cannot seem to increase my toughness and health

[regal ravine]

The stripes that you see underneath each picture in the mission selection menu indicate the difficulty that you've completed those particular missions

[heavy shuttle]

FS still dealing with the post-patch crashes I see. Waited till I was on the droppod for exfil this last one. Ouch.

[past flint]

250

[hard goblet]

There is, but it's account wide and only applies to missions you did after they patched that UI element in.

[uncut rain]

is completing the prologue mandatory?

[fervent ridge]

No

You can skip it

[pearl kayak]

So what are the best melee weapons for if I want to exclusively spam light attacks and not use heavies at all?

[warm nebula]

Look for one that has the light attack moveset you want. Some will have sweeps, some will have bonks
But that’s like asking “what is the best build if I exclusively use left-to-right swings?” I don’t know why you would limit yourself that way?

[pearl kayak]

I know about the movesets, but some weapons are much more (or less) useful on lights in terms of damage, cleave, and armor pen. So sadly that doesn't quite answer my question, nor is "left to right" swing really related at all as I'm not looking for a specific moveset.

I just strongly dislike charging my attacks and use a macro to spam lights.

[foggy dock]

not sure if it was worth upgrading, are these blessings good on a chainsword

[warm nebula]

That makes a bit more sense. Have you thought about the role that melee plays in your build? Do you want your melee to kill trashmobs, or do you want it when melee elites & specials get in your face?

[warm nebula]

I’m just a lowbie, but those blessings look pretty good to me. Seems like they would synergize well

Shame about the penetration bar, but that only drops it from “godlike” to “extremely strong”

[foggy dock]

yeah i wouldn't have minded some points taken from mobility to pen

[indigo geode]

What level is ideal for threat lvl 3 missions

I'm lvl 18 now

[foggy dock]

i started running malice from level 10, so 18 is all good

depends on your skill and comfort

if you are uncomfortable the whole time.. no point

but having said that, i like pushing limits...and if you become comfortable on higher difficulty, then that's good

[rotund ravine]

Could try a mk V heavy axe, but needs to have brutal momentum blessing.

[pearl kayak]

Preferably something that can do both for general usage, of which there's a few that come to mind. Power sword is an easy one, although I'm less keen on charging it constantly. Special usage is fine but I prefer something I can unga bunga no brain, only use when big armor man need die fast, if I need to use it at all.

Lacerate knife is another, although it's really best used on zealot.

[pearl kayak]

I'll look into that, any reason why it needs to be mk5 in particular?

[warm nebula]

https://youtu.be/fzNJ52fUdSA

[odd sparrow]

The moment your comfortable with it tbh.
I played vt and vt2 for about 80 hours when it came out so I just went straight onto d3 and did ok but not great.
You can really have a easy time if you understand position your self near the team and if you make any mistakes they quickly cover for you.

[indigo geode]

Alright it's wierd

Sometimes threat lvl 3 is hard af other times its a walk in the park

[open sedge]

might be due to low/hi intensity modifiers, that or just differing levels of skill of teammates (if you have people just there to do weeklies who normally do damnation or even heresy it will probably be a walk in the park).

[indigo geode]

I also stopped using the bolter because it's trash

[rotund ravine]

The light attack combo is all diagonal swings making it the one that makes the best use of brutal momentum

[indigo geode]

Which autogun is the best

[upbeat cave]

braced imo

[open sedge]

autoguns you either take a braced autogun (idk which one is best i hear people singing the praises of agripiina)

or you don't take an autogun

[indigo geode]

I'm using the agripinaa atm

[open sedge]

headhunters don't do a very good job of hunting heads because they kick to shit, just use a blue lasgun if you want that.

[indigo geode]

I'm playing zealot fyi

[open sedge]

yea if you have an agripinaa braced you've got the right idea.

[indigo geode]

Cool

Might get rid of the eviscerator too

[open sedge]

afaik (while you can use whatever you want), weapon options are usually a brauto, boltgun, or flamer for zealot. Personally I use a stub revolver for anything below damnation and a flamer for damnation.

[indigo geode]

I despise the bolt gun and flamer sadge

[rotund ravine]

Mk ll and mk Vlll variants are the better ones fir braced autoguns, i belive the Vlll is thos the favored one

[indigo geode]

Revolver and shotgun were nice

[open sedge]

and lasguns are always a good choice but I find thats usually just conflicting with something sharpshooters will usually have covered.

[indigo geode]

I have mk8 braced agripinaa

[open sedge]

shotgun and revolver both feel pretty nice to use but also (at least the ones i've gotten) have annoying breakpoints. really wish they would let us replace a blessing already.

[indigo geode]

I used a shotty and revolver pre lvl ten

Haven't found any in the shop since

I feel like Shop refresh should be 10 minutes rather than 60

[open sedge]

probably, apparently in datamines there was something about getting 4 rerolls per reset for increasing docket prices. obviously datamines do not reflect reality but it could be a big improvement, 5x the opportunity for something decent

[rotund ravine]

Right it 8 not 7

[indigo geode]

Yeah it's 8

V with three I is 8

Then it's like VIV

Then X

[rotund ravine]

Nono i wrote as Vll not Vlll i made mistake

[indigo geode]

Fair fair

[rotund ravine]

I just corrected

[indigo geode]

Roman numerals are annoying anyway

Thus why we use the Arabic system today

The cosmetics shop seems like a waste of gold

[open sedge]

if you want the cosmetics its not

[indigo geode]

Since missions only give like 2k it's not worth

[rotund ravine]

At some point some people will have more money than what they know what to do with

[open sedge]

also currently there's no real use for dockets besides cosmetics since there's basically no way you'll end up getting more good things in your shop than you have money to afford.

[indigo geode]

I've never had more than 20k more than like three times

[rotund ravine]

Heresy(diff4) gives almost 7 k per run without modifiers, so it ramps up a bit

[indigo geode]

Controller support is pretty good

What melee should I use on Zealot rather than heavy eviscerator

I saw on the reddit dagger is alright

[pearl kayak]

Agripaa is apparently the best for both regular and braced autoguns

[indigo geode]

Agripaa, do you mean agripinaa, I assume so

Relentless attacks should be my focus rather than strike strikedown right

[open sedge]

honestly whatever feels best, evi is definitely the easiest option in terms of combos and safety(well, arguably). dagger is fine with a crit build although you'll want to bring something for horde clear i.e. flamer, thammer good for just CC and single target, crusher also good for CC basically just better hammer without the high single target damage option, and then taxe is just dagger but a bit more consistent (dagger has higher highs and lower lows imo, not gonna get into dagger vs taxe here though). brutal momentum axe is generally a good choice

[indigo geode]

I just bought a club from the shop

Finna wait till refresh and swap again maybe

Since it's a few secs off

[open sedge]

early on just try every weapon and find a playstyle you like.

[indigo geode]

Fair

Is it better to play a single character or swap immediately at lvl 30

[open sedge]

idk i don't like that loot doesn't get shared between characters so i only play one character (i have the others created but don't want to start from square 1 again)

very much your opinion

I would at least try all the characters, and you might be missing out if you haven't played a class that happens to be the most fun for you once the feat tree is fully unlocked

[indigo geode]

I've only played zealot and never touched a previous game

I got vermi when it was free it's just way too heavy atm

[rotund ravine]

i love the lX heavy sword, one of the best horde clearing melee in the game, and with the special heavy special heavy combo also does good versus elites and specials, but struggles against carapace armor.
i paired it up with a bolter and played it in damnation(diff 5) and it performed quite well.

[open sedge]

i forgot an honorable mention of hsword after the buff didn't I

[indigo geode]

Is 4% experience the best available perk

For that type*

[open sedge]

uhh probably when you're levelling but idk if it'll even make a noticable difference

[rotund ravine]

io think you can get 6% experience

[indigo geode]

So I should keep refining cool

[open sedge]

i would save your materials for when you hit 30 ngl

[rotund ravine]

on the left of the perk you should see a few tiny squares

[indigo geode]

Ah yup

[rotund ravine]

4 squares is max i believe

[indigo geode]

Can blue only get two squares

[open sedge]

not worth refining early gear thats lower power rating since you will desperately want that plasteel once you're 30

[rotund ravine]

no its completly random when you get the weapon sadly

[indigo geode]

Good point

Now I have two 15% health curios

[rotund ravine]

and when you refine i don't think it can change the tier, it will remain at the same tier

[indigo geode]

One giving extra exp the other extra dockets

[rotund ravine]

so that slot is forever only 2 squares

[indigo geode]

Both 2 square boosts

Obviously no where near the best but pretty good

[open sedge]

yea just try to get health and toughness curios (personal preference, not a comparison that needs to be gotten into in this channel but I prefer toughness especially as zealot)

[indigo geode]

It's nice, the barbers station has allowed me to rp battle scars and hair growth

[open sedge]

don't use wound curios, although you arguably can if you're trying out a new difficulty and don't want to be respawning half the time.

but wound curios are basically saying you want to go down, instead of health or toughness curios that are there to prevent you from going down.

[indigo geode]

I've been selling back every time I swap weapons

[rotund ravine]

im not against adding 1 wound curio for diff 4 and 5, but then again if you going to those difficulties expecting to eat the dirt one would probably be better at staying on the diff 3

[indigo geode]

Is there a factor that determines an emperors gift

Honestly I'm tempted to stay in lvl 2

[rotund ravine]

i played with people that just stacked wound curios and i just face palmed XD

[indigo geode]

But lvl 3 will be better for everything

[open sedge]

yea the emprah decides to pick the worst thing out of his trash bin and give it to you

[indigo geode]

Heresy die

Jk

[open sedge]

you only get 20 per week per account though, supposedly

[rotund ravine]

nope, i think same chance for emperor gift on all diffs but this is not confirmed i could be wrong, so grinding diff 2 can be a decent start

[open sedge]

and none of them will be good so you can pretend they don't exist

[indigo geode]

They seem to get higher rarity

Depending on level

[rotund ravine]

oh that is new info, where did you get it from?

[indigo geode]

Honestly a bound dodge button would be nice

[open sedge]

oh i didn't think it was new, it was just something circulating. Didn't see any concrete evidence (hence the supposedly) but I can definitely say there seems to be at least a soft cap from my anecdotal experience

[rotund ravine]

i found plenty orange emperor gifts running on diff 2

[rotund ravine]

you can change on the options to seperate jump and dodge

[cold moon]

Malice is where you should be at least. Gives plasteel and diamantine so you can upgrade your gear; level 2/Uprising only gives plasteel 95% of the time.

[rotund ravine]

i have jump on scroll down and dodge on space

[indigo geode]

I'm gonna play on controller for a bit to relax

[open sedge]

I would be in level 2 24/7 if it weren't so boring, plasteel is the only thing I need

[rotund ravine]

ah, i don't know if the controller can be rebound :O

[indigo geode]

Default and advanced lmao

[open sedge]

oh i didn't realize you could separate them, that might prevent me from jumping when i try to dodge and can't LOL

[indigo geode]

Base sensitivity is so slow

[rotund ravine]

ye i play higher difficulties for the challenge, its just not fun if i don't turn the corner and see 20 gunners looking at me XD

[cold moon]

and I should play Heresy more often cause I keep running out of diamantine

[open sedge]

wtf

how do you even run out of diamantine

[indigo geode]

Thanks for all the help

[cold moon]

I play Malice mostly to finish contracts

[indigo geode]

Is there an ideal perk list somewhere

[open sedge]

same though 😭

[rotund ravine]

hmm, i don't know, i just use the perks that i think might be good, but i know a site that can show you every blessing any given weapons can roll with

[open sedge]

weapons +DMG to flak armored is almost always a good choice, curios just anything that isn't dockets/+curio/xp. Doubt there's a good resource for ideal perks when its quite subjective though, and the game is very new so there hasn't been substantial theorycrafting on whats best

[rotund ravine]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/weapon-blessing-traits?

handy little tool to know what to look for on your weapons

[open sedge]

you can also look at the builds on the site marcopt just sent to see what kinds of perks people use

note that i think some old builds use touhness damage reduction on curios, which is most definitely not a thing in the game anymore

[cold moon]

Also no Toughness Regeneration and Corruption Resistance perks. They barely make a difference or not work at all.

[open sedge]

yea corruption res sucks, I like toughness regeneration even though I've heard its broken now just because when they do eventually fix it I assume it'll be pretty nice

[rotund ravine]

also, i love the Kantrael Mg Xll, but since the buffs the helbore MK ll as been kind of hot with me, im loving that weapon

i think its up there and competing for top place with the Mg Xll

and that is great cause i wanted to role plays as a kriegs man at some point :P

[turbid dock]

Helbore mk2 kinda slaying it

It's even more ammo efficient than the mg12

[rotund ravine]

i wouldn't exactly say its more ammo efficient than the MG 12 since the natural pierce from the MG 12 does many times come into play and saves you a shot, while the helbore cannot pierce enemies

[turbid dock]

Ah that's true

[rotund ravine]

and the MG 12 1 shots most enemies at 3 ammo cost, same as the helbore mark 2

but there are some break points the MG 12 just can't reach that the helbore can, that is 1 body shot tap the armored gunners in diff 5

[formal swift]

anyone that could briefly explain how to change the ini file to put the lighting settings off for better performance ?

[nova fractal]

Helbore MK 3 do be smacking tho. I love that it 2-3 taps crushers

[turbid dock]

You can consult the nexusmod mod, not sure off the top of my head

[formal swift]

where does one check this

[turbid dock]

https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/1

Yea you can customize them yourself as well

[rotund ravine]

haven't tried the mk 3 yet since the buffs, the charge rate on it got buffed so much it might be good, but the mk ll is simply much more ammo efficient. And still kills crushers rather quickly .

[turbid dock]

Mk3 is really ammo hungry and you still end up with overkill issue

Imo I'd rather take plasma

[brave meadow]

anybody else has the problem ofInterface settings not saving?

[nova fractal]

i personally didnt have any issues with ammo economy on my damnation runs, maybe needed to pick up a few ammo cartridges throughout the run

[rotund ravine]

didn't try it since the buffs yet, haven't found a decent one to use :(
but will give it a shot when i find one.

[cold moon]

only with subtitles turning on after booting up the game every time

[brave meadow]

for me it's the other way around, I want then on but they turn off every time

[cold moon]

whaaa

I want to know how you keep them off

[rigid wasp]

[kindred crane]

16% is max cap for toughness on curios primary bonus?

[cold moon]

20%

but max toughness blessing is so rare

[kindred crane]

i have 40+ curios with toughness and 16% is max for me. 20% is only as 16%+4%

[turbid dock]

wtheck is removed player outline

we playing realism mode now

[cold moon]

This is my reference: https://darktide.gameslantern.com/curios

[kindred crane]

i know this page but i've never had a more than 20% health bonus

so i think it's wrong information

[turbid dock]

its been conjectured that, just like weapon bars, the max roll is 80%

so 80% of 25% =

[nova fractal]

idk, I have 2 curios that are 21%

[warm nebula]

I never used the green outline… the skeletons and screenspace nametags were good enough for me…

I guess there’s something unintended with the green outline? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

If anybody used the player outline, I actually do want to know what you think FS didn’t like about it

[patent sapphire]

17% is max toughness curio blessing

i have a couple

[nova fractal]

also have a 17% toughness curio too.

[patent sapphire]

21% is max health

has anyone seen a higher than 80 rated blessing on a curio?

[onyx knot]

nope

[patent sapphire]

gonna consider this maxed then

missing 10 rating from two blessings but still

[topaz lark]

my guess is that curio ratings are capped too, which means we can only get 80% of the max roll

[kindred crane]

i think we will able to craft 80+ rate when combine blessings option will be able

[haughty wren]

Soooo.. I have this thing called On Overwatch - penance. Do just some monsters/horderes cause HP damage through toughness or is it all enemy? Or how the heck toughness is working.

[patent sapphire]

melee attacks deal chip damage based on what percent of your toughness bar is full

so if you have full toughness and take a melee hit you take 0 hp damage

if you have 90% toughness and take a melee hit you’ll take 10% of whatever the value of that hit was to your health bar

[haughty wren]

Sooo. In theory I can only take one melee hit and quickly try to replace it back to full.

[patent sapphire]

you can get hit you just can’t take hp bar damage from a melee hut

yes

when i got it i got hit multiple times in the run but always at full toughness

i actually finished the mission nearly dead from a sniper and still got it lol

[haughty wren]

Heh, thanks for the info. I try to be even more careful when doing that penance. It's so close.

[patent sapphire]

look for a low intensity malice mission and take the camo feat that vet has

[kindred crane]

does On Overwatch penance require not to take melee damage?

[patent sapphire]

no melee damage to your hp bar

[kindred crane]

then it's easy just to use block for all mission :D

it's the same rules for Untouchable penance ?

i can take some hits but if they don't down my HP it's OK?

[patent sapphire]

yeah

untouchable is no damage to your hp bar at all

including range

[kindred crane]

yea it should be easy for psyker's blade which block range damage too

thx

[dull carbon]

Are brain burst hands the fastest movespeed for psyker or does a knife make you run faster?

[frail gyro]

What's the name of the single shot headhunter gun?

[tepid skiff]

names are irrelevant. colour is the true indicator. you're looking for the long brown one.

green and blue hh guns are burst fire.

[tepid perch]

whats the most effective way to acquire endgame gear

do i buy orange or purple

or from regular shop

[cold moon]

Shop, Melk, and Emperor's Gift. Shop will provide the best chance for weapons with max Modifiers, but need to commit to upgrading the weapons from Blue -> Purple -> Orange and you rely on RNG for a good second Blessing. Melk has Purple and Orange gear with a chance for two good Blessings. Emperor's Gift is the least reliable way to get endgame gear with great stats but does happen.

[frail gyro]

Thanks

[tepid perch]

yeah i get that, but which do you think is the most efficient

in terms of pricing and upgrade mats and stuff

[tepid skiff]

regular shop by far.

it's just extremely inconvenient because optimally you need to check it every real time hour.

[cold moon]

Shop is slightly better in having the chance for max Modifiers on weapons every hour

[tepid perch]

actually you only need to check every two hours

[tepid skiff]

but you do have a decent chance of getting a good 360+ base, which is the most important part.

[cold moon]

Why is that?

[tepid skiff]

because you log in at 55 minutes, and do both hours at once

[lone shell]

How do i stop falling

I've been falling for the past 2 minutes

[tepid perch]

so do i wait for a good blue, or just start straight from a good base grey or green

[cold moon]

Whichever has the Modifiers closest to 380

[edgy wedge]

^ a grey with a modifier closest to 380

not a gold 380

[cold moon]

And depending which stats are maxed out. Some weapons have dump stats.

like Mobility on guns

[tepid perch]

is this thing alright?

ammo is a fodder stat

[twin swallow]

Are any of the autoguns actually good? Tried a few of the variations and they felt really horrible

[little coyote]

braced ones are

[tepid perch]

the agri mk 1 infantry with high stability roll

[edgy wedge]

naw chief braced autoguns are just inferior flamers

dont try to do the zealot role unless you running somethin weird

[little coyote]

not really, you can cross map with a good braced one and flamer has a range of 20 meters

and it makes you slow

[edgy wedge]

just pick flamethrower as zealot, and bolter as vet

[edgy wedge]

might as well be cross map blind firing with the accuracy you get

[little coyote]

good stability roll autoguns really are accurate

[tepid perch]

people here will tell you you have two options (bolter or mg 12 as vet) 💀

[little coyote]

[twin sinew]

Any tips on handling the boss portion of assassination on damnation?

[marble ridge]

This is probably a silly question but it's very frustrating - is there any chance right now that completing a mission on Heresy+ doesn't add to the "complete every mission type on Heresy+" penance? I'm having a hard time keeping track, my penance seems stuck on 4/7 despite having completed way more I swear. It's so confusing.

I thought I hadn't done strike or espionage, but having now completed both it's still stuck on 4/7.

[twin sinew]

best you can do is keep track of them from now on, also recently added the little borders under missions (though only useful now going forwards and are class specific)

[little coyote]

I'd bet on one of the missing ones being a repair mission, pretty sure those show up the rarest

and Heresy+ does count towards it for sure

[twin sinew]

yea only time it didn't track for me was when the server crashed at the end of a mission, otherwise they are logged

[nova fractal]

generally have 2 people on the boss, one to kite and the other to damage and switch between the 2. The other 2 are still in close proximity but dealing with the hordes and elites

[marble ridge]

Yeah, that's I'm going off of too - I had been trying to keep track of it before. According to those mission markers, it says I've done Investigation and Disruption. I have also definitely done a Raid on Heresy and an Assassination on Damnation. But today having done Espionage and Strike, neither have counted toward the penance :/

Repair is definitely one of the missing ones, I'vem anaged to fail that whenever it's come up, lol

[little coyote]

If you play with multiple characters the mission difficulty completion icons will carry over so don't let that confuse you

in other words the penance is character specific but the completions are account wide

[brazen ingot]

Anyone who uses a braced autogun like a flamer is..not good

[marble ridge]

Which I think is a very silly thing that makes those icons pretty useless for a lot, but luckily in this case I only have one character that plays at Heresy+ right now

[edgy wedge]

factual

[brazen ingot]

Fact-checked by real Darktide patriots

[nova fractal]

would've made more sense if they showed a checklist of the mission type required in the penance list. like they did in vermintide 2.

[pure sand]

Anyone experience some animation bugs when using the evicerator or the ripper gun? For the evicerator is a audio and animation bug like it keeps repeating and overlaying itself and for the ripper gun, the animation for shooting and the audio stops.

[proud kettle]

what determines the levels of items available in the store/bestowed as emperor's gifts? The item level of your current gear like in V2?

[nova fractal]

Just your character's level. The game detects what level you are and gives you a range of gear score that fits your character's level. So if you're level 30, you'll potentially get gear that could scale up to 380 or probably 200.

[proud kettle]

so it wont be like in v2 where all gear from chests eventually approaches the limit of 300 (or whatever the max level was in the game), untill all the gear that's granted to you is eventually max level?

sad.

[nova fractal]

how else is Fatshark gonna incentivize you to play their game more

[civic spade]

Each item in the shop has a .2% chance to be 380

[urban yoke]

Hi, if I 'replace task' on the Weekly Contract, will it only replace my unfinished tasks? Or all of them?

[dull carbon]

[jagged olive]

Why dont I get higher item power when upgrading? what?

[urban yoke]

Oh it’s just a single task? I thought it was the whole contract

[wicked spoke]

is this a decent sword? also is there a more correct place to ask these questions? ty in advance

[wicked spoke]

item power doesn't give you extra damage like vermintide, it's descriptive of the item so don't worry about it

[jagged olive]

well it did yesterday just why i wondered

[paper holly]

@wicked spoke I think so if you can get Perfect Strike to trigger enough

cleave targets wont matter as much if you can get Ignore Hit Mass to trigger

[wicked spoke]

it's for Zealot so pretty good chance, ty for response

[ripe fossil]

it showed me no upgrad too but when I did the upgraded, the number got higher

[cursive hemlock]

I wonder. Is it possible to emote in this game?

[hard goblet]

Right now, no.

[sinful prairie]

I've noticed that the combat rating from raw stats goes down as I upgrade my weapon. The actual values seem unchanged, but a 350ish grey staff seemed like it became a 330ish orange staff through upgrading

Is that how it's supposed to work?

[patent sapphire]

no?

[sinful prairie]

Interesting

[patent sapphire]

there has been a lot of reported weirdness with consecration though

most of the time people will say “hey i have a base rated item over 380” and then you add up the numbers and it’s less than 380

[unique zealot]

Wtf is this?

Sometimes I see it with only 2-3 chevrons and no skull.

[nova fractal]

[topaz lark]

it is a visual bug

it used to be bugged in the other direction before

[dull cradle]

They should add a boss ai variant that instead of getting stunned and staggering when their shield gets broken they keep attacking going berserk it would be fun

So it either can make things tougher or a lil easier depending how prepared you are

[unborn musk]

I had two bosses pop up at the same time the other day on Heresy. It split the long health-bar into two, one for each boss. Is there a modifier that does this? I want it to happen again.

[bleak maple]

wat a game haha

cant even find any public lobbies

when i play with bots , all 3 bots always die

idk wat to do

[patent sapphire]

nothing guaranteed but it’s very cool when it does happen

high intensity probably increases the chance

also if there’s a daemonhost around you can get that effect too lol

[rotund ravine]

i would say to look for a lX variant of that weapon, beast horde clearing swings of all the heavy swords and retains the special and elite kill pressure of the other variants.
and i honestly don't think perfect strike is really worth it. but i suppose it could go trough a crusher and maulers and hit other enemies too? very situational in my opinion.

[torpid grotto]

Anyone got any recommendations for completing Dodge this (3)? Recon lasgun and kite as many enemies as possible?

[patent sapphire]

just dodge a lot and it should happen passively

which is the real one, do you think? The low or the high?

[topaz lark]

none

base rating doesnt change when consecrating

[patent sapphire]

nvm im an idiot

use the kantrael mg xii

pop volley fire, shoot heads

[obtuse vault]

Are blessing buffs global? Or just for the weapon? (like crit chance)

[topaz lark]

only for the weapon

Is the shovel viable?

[nova fractal]

did you kill them while you were mid dash?

[nova fractal]

Easily done on places where you have to wait for an objective to complete and a ton of trash mobs funnel to you head-level. I got mine on the bridge for the torrent mission, the one where you have to call down an elevator

[hard goblet]

At what difficulty?

[patent sapphire]

ogryn shovel or vet shovel?

[cursive hemlock]

Malice+ ?

[cursive hemlock]

Vet

[patent sapphire]

vet shovel is fine but imo outclassed by the chainsword and power sword

[cunning field]

Thank you!

[hard goblet]

It works fine in Malice, but anything higher and its cleave is extremely disappointing.

Can't reach enough targets and doesn't deal enough damage, let alone stagger.

Anything more than 4 or at most 5 pox walkers at once and the shovel will really struggle by itself.

[candid pier]

Would anyone be able to help me with getting the game actually running? I keep getting "Backend error" over and over on the title screen and nothing on the forums is helping.

Worst part is that when I try to close it, it stays open, and not even task manager can close it.

[warm nebula]

That ain’t right. “Verify integrity of files” in Steam?

[candid pier]

Everything's golden

[warm nebula]

Check internet connectivity?

[candid pier]

Verified, and I uninstalled and reinstalled 2 times

Internet is FANTASTIC, was able to reinstall the whole game in 10 minutes

[warm nebula]

Oof. I’m stumped then 😅

[candid pier]

Restarted my computer at least 20 times (not hyperbole, it was the only way to get the game to close)

[warm nebula]

I’d say “try to ping Fatshark’s server” if I knew how to

“Backend Error” implies a problem with FS’s server… check firewall permissions?

Maybe the firewall saw the hotfix and panicked?

”not even task manager can close it” is a new one for me… offer a prayer to your computer’s machine spirit? 😅

[candid pier]

FR FR

[cursive hemlock]

So I should use the power sword instead?

🤔

[candid pier]

It's even worse because the forums say "Disable Admin under Compatibility settings to fix it"...

(That bottom part is something else entirely)

and I was never running as admin in the first place

[unborn musk]

GamePass user here. I had a similar issues that persisted for a few hours a couple days ago. Could’ve been my VPN. I restarted the Xbox and VPN services and it all worked out.

Someone in general chat mentioned infinite loading after the patch, maybe that’s causing something.

[feral gust]

is there any way to parry a demonhost?
do Parrys exist?

[patent sapphire]

one of the swords has a parry but i don’t think it would be very good against the daemonhost it attacks too fast

[hard goblet]

The power sword or even the chainsword would work better in my opinion.

[chrome rock]

New player here, should I bother Consecrating my things just yet or just keep farming random rewards until max level?

[patent sapphire]

don’t spend resources on anything until you hit 30 just stockpile

resources other than the regular dockets at the shop

[chrome rock]

ok cool

[scenic hawk]

In the current state of the game, there are two key factors when deciding what to consecrate:

• Gear stats are fixed, the only thing you gain from consecrating is more perks/blessings. If your gear's stats are low, you may choose to wait until you can earn/buy a higher-stat equivalent. Stats currently max out at 80% in each of the five categories.
• Higher-rarity gear tend to roll higher-tier perks and blessings. These roll on a 1-4 scale, and you can re-roll up to 1 perk (repeatedly) per item for a decreasing number of resources each time.

[patent sapphire]

just periodically check in on the shop now and then, high stat is generally >350 base rating (sum of the stat bars)

buy upgrades to what you have

[scenic hawk]

It's also worth taking the time to experiment with a few weapon types before you start investing in the ones you like. For low-tier missions, you can make do with more-or-less anything.

[patent sapphire]

yep

[hybrid charm]

When the shop rolls, I've heard that it scales with your level and your item ratings.
If this is true- does my currently equipped item count or is it the highest rated items in my whole inventory?

does re-gearing my equipped items before opening a shop roll effect it?

[patent sapphire]

it is only your level

no evidence that item rating has anything to do with it

when you hit 30 your shop will roll an average of 330 with most being between 300 and 360 and ones lower and higher than that being very rare

[hybrid charm]

cool thanks. Otherwise I can't wait to re-bless 'Stripped down' off my fave autogun

[patent sapphire]

good luck 👍

[tidal moon]

passive

[stark ibex]

Quick question: what does combat ability mean?

[scenic hawk]

It refers to your "ultimate" ability, which you activate with F by default.

[stark ibex]

Oh that. And the regeneration aspect is just a quicker cooldown for the ultimate ability I assume?

[scenic hawk]

Essentially.

[stark ibex]

That makes a lot more sense.

Thanks for the quick answer

[cursive hemlock]

What is weapon's alternative fire? lol

[mild basin]

usually a mouse button

i changed it

[cursive hemlock]

On a ranged weapon?

[hard goblet]

Mouse 5.

[mild basin]

a weapons special is typically mapped to a mousebutton of some kind and its the same for ranged or melee

[cursive hemlock]

And that contributes to Deadshot on Veteran?

[mild basin]

if you're asking what it actually is, it can be a melee attack with a bayonet or a flashlight typically

[rotund ravine]

I think alternate fire is the right click, aka aiming down sights, at least its what the description on the talent for the vet would sugest

[mild basin]

Deadshot is your class skill, which is F

oh i see

yeah ^what marcopt1 said

[hard goblet]

Yes, alternative fire with Deadshot means you aim down your sights.

ADS.

Very poor wording since when you look at the weapon it calls that Secondary Action.

But Deadshot only functions while you have stamina to drain.

[rotund ravine]

and the class skill is called volley fire, dead shot is a talent.

[mild basin]

ah my bad

[rigid wasp]

So what purpose does the heavy laspistol serve on veteran?

is it any good?

[idle nest]

Anyone want to help a brother out with a penance on Ogryn

[fair sequoia]

Alternate is right click, Special is Mouse 5

[quiet basin]

so im trying to get the penance where i do one of every mission type .. but it seems it keeps skipping one and the penance doesnt tell me which one I missed, anyway to determine this?

[patent sapphire]

gotta keep track yourself

or if you only have one character you can use the icons under the missions to tell

[echo kiln]

What's the state of psyker after the hot fix? Are the bugs fixed?

[quiet basin]

Any suggestions on easiest way to speedfarm mats?

[echo kiln]

Malice(3)

[quiet basin]

ok cool thanks

[cold birch]

hi i need help to lvl ...

tough playing solo

[unborn musk]

Choose quick match, if you don’t find a match in 10 seconds, cancel and do it again. You’ll find them quick, unless you like hosting your own.

[rigid wasp]

So when is the Star Wars crossover with Darktide for the Boba Fett skin? 🤡

on a non cursed joking matter, what is the best way to power level?

I got my Veteran to 30, my Zealot is at 16, and my Ogryn and psyker are level 5ish, but I'm running out of steam

[mild birch]

are pubs just notoriously bad in this game or something

[solid haven]

Dunno if this is the place to ask but, I’m thinking about using GeForce now through my Xbox, anybody have any experience with it?

[short flare]

Is stamina not additive? like if you have +3 stam, you cant add more?

or is there some max?

[runic creek]

is there a technical help channel is this discord? feels like there really should be given the state of things

beyond just "fill out this form and we'll get back to you"

[hard goblet]

Generally, yes. There will be a cluster of such around Malice/Heresy.

[hard goblet]

Any technical expertise that can be provided via Discord would be via other players. There's no Live Fatshark Support team available.

[runic creek]

I went an entire evening clearing heresy+ with micless pubs once, but that's APAC

[hard goblet]

As far as I know, there's no cap to stamina. If I recall correctly, +3 Stamina = 1 bar of stamina on your % meter.

[runic creek]

I'd be fine with that, just dont want to be spamming seemingly unrelated channels trying to see if someone has found a solution for a particular issue I or a friend might be having

[bronze hedge]

Anyone know if someone picks up plasteel or diamantine if it shares with everyone or only the individual gains the currency.

[turbid dock]

I mean you can try asking maybe I've encountered it before

[turbid dock]

Yes it's shared

[bronze hedge]

Okay that's good. Thanks.

[rigid wasp]

anyone know the best method for this?

[serene shell]

the most effective way to power level is to join a mission appropriate for your character level, stay close to your team and focus on completing the objectives to finish the mission faster

oh woops my bad didn't see this

[hard goblet]

Consistently clearing the highest level of difficulty you can clear quickly. There's no tricks to it. Grouping up with friends can help make the process easier.

[turbid dock]

Yea, just doing the highest difficulty you can manage

[mild birch]

honestly this game has some of the worst teamwork in pub matches i've ever seen

doesn't matter what difficulty, no ones on comms

[spare tangle]

Yeah lol people rush ahead during hordes and ignore specials and ranged enemies.

I've had people even ignore bosses and run off further in

[turbid dock]

I feel like people just play with music/sound off

[sage cave]

I defs play with music and it bites me occasionally 😊

[hard goblet]

I've had a few interesting runs on Heresy like that. Someone ran ahead to "escape the horde" despite the fact the rest of the group had heard, seen, and watched them stand still while a Beast of Nurgle + horde waddled past them.

They waited for the Beast to go by before continuing onward, while carrying a scripture.

Then promptly died.

While the rest of us all collectively decided "fighting the Beast in a staircase is a bad idea, let's kite it out into more open space".

Apparently they had no idea the Beast had even spawned, let alone that we were fighting it.

[mild birch]

do you have to unlock weapons before they appear in the shop

[hard goblet]

You have to be at the level at which weapons would appear in the shop before they'll appear in the shop, yes.

[mild birch]

Right ok, so I'm a lvl 12 vet rn and I've only ever seen 2-3 different lasguns or melee weapons in the store. Like no chainsword, power sword, bolter etc,

Is rng just screwing me or do I have to wait it out

[floral plover]

refreshes every hour. just badluck. youll have plenty soon

[clever bay]

Are both the bosses in darktide (Beast of Nurgle and Plague Ogryn) confirmed to be 'Unyielding' armor type?

[bold herald]

what's the most efficient way to grind metacurrency?

[short flare]

Ok, I was trying to understand how to compare + stamina vs sprint efficiency... like is it worth getting more stamina, or better sprint.

[hard goblet]

I know someone else has tested this, let me see if I can find their post.

#theorycrafting message

Here we go.

[spare tangle]

Wouldnt it still be better for sharpshooter to get more stamina bars for the perk that consumes stamina when aimming

[hard goblet]

Depends entirely on what the effect +stamina has on actual overall %.

[short flare]

Thank you. That is some helpful details. Still not sure about the math but I guess I could also test myself!

[hard goblet]

Even then, it might not be necessary since the weapons that benefit from Deadshot the most are the bursty ones that don't spend much time ADSing such as the plasma gun.

[kind zephyr]

The three skull symbol on the map is things I've completed @ Difficulty 5.

The one skull is difficulty 4.

Is that correct?

Oh. This appears to be Mission specific, rather than Objective type.

[kind zephyr]

Thanks. So... then I don't actually know what Primary Objectives I've yet to complete on Difficulty 4 =(

[rigid wasp]

Yes.

[hard goblet]

Fatshark heard player concerns about not being able to track completed missions. And the monkey's paw curls a finger as the tracking is added, but is account wide.

[rigid wasp]

Yes.

[lavish lotus]

Do I need to equip the highest level score gear to get higher level gear? or does it just need to be in my inventory?

[hard goblet]

Higher power rating gear appearing in the shop is solely dependent on character level.

[rich smelt]

These weekly contracts are a pain in the ass when you don't have any more rerolls left

They should be removed from the game, we all reroll them anyway

[open sedge]

just scale it down to 1

the reward is dogsit for the effort

that's 18 scriptures lol

25 scriptures gets you 500 melk bucks

[rich smelt]

or 12 Grims

The fuck thing is that picking up only 1 doesn't count. It must be 100% completed

Also bots don't help you picking them up...

[real meteor]

just finished that mission, took me like 12 runs cuz people cant find all books every run :S

[open sedge]

scriptures are way harder for that, grims at least glow and you only need 2

[rich smelt]

But if you die, you lose it

Something that happened on my games several times

[solid haven]

If anyone saw my post earlier, GeForce now on the Xbox browser slaps.

[turbid dock]

How's the input delay?

[tepid skiff]

scriptures hiss, so often they're easier to find.

like you don't even have to be in the same room, or same floor.

[serene latch]

what's more interesting is that someone thought it's a really great idea to add them when all missions are random af

it's like they think you gonna play this shit for a whole day

and not casual 1-3 hours

[rich smelt]

Even if we find the 3 books, we just can't collect them 🥲

[remote compass]

rip being able to command bots to pick up items

[rich smelt]

RIP is to complete with 2/3 books

Fucking shit mechanic

[rich smelt]

NICE GAME

The guy who carries it got a crash and now the book is bugged

Fatshark please, make the fucking bots don't drop the books or let them PICK THEM!

This game has more bugs than Fallout 76

I'm tired of doing the same map over and over again and never complete it because always something happens

[cursive hemlock]

Does anyone else sometimes get an audio bug for poxhounds?

[mental canyon]

Does the Armoury ever have anything higher than blue item for sale?

[serene latch]

wait till they release the game

[rich smelt]

Which game? Darktide or Fallout 76?

[serene latch]

Darktide

once they release all base content, then you can play

[cold moon]

Shop only offers up to blue rarity then you have to rely on Melk for purple and orange or upgrade the gear yourself through Hadron's crafting system.

[rigid wasp]

Anyone else feels the enemies reach when they're attacking from the back can reach you from miles away?, i keep getting attack on the back when i look behind the enemies are at the bottom of the stairs

[dark spindle]

milk often disappoints

[drowsy ruin]

what does combat ability regeneration do?

[silver granite]

Anyone know how to cheese this god awful abomination of a penance

[serene latch]

your F

[honest crater]

Add somebody then keep killing youself till the last rez spot on your map and have your homie pick you up before they extract, there’s also a unique glitch if you’re a beta player but only if you played that account in the pre launch beta I think

[silver granite]

i see, thank you

[scenic hawk]

It took me a few tries to do it legit with randoms, but I've since helped friends get it fairly easily by basically drawing aggro from them while they stand still (with the Camo Expert feat). Some maps are easier to complete it on than others, like Enclavum Baross or Consignment Yard. Low-Intensity modifier is also preferable if available.

So if you don't want to go as far as killing yourself for the entire mission, try to find someone who'll be your bodyguard. Ogryns have a penance for teammates sticking close for the whole mission, and are prime candidates.

[twin swallow]

Wish this was on my Vet and not my Psyker...

[patent sapphire]

that’s a very good gun

can reroll carapace damage to something better like 10% to elites or specials and the rebless tier 4 opening salvo

it being on a psyker is very sad though

[twin swallow]

ikr...

[unreal bramble]

can you see your mission stats? damage kills heads shoot kills ect?

[patent sapphire]

nope

[dreamy iron]

ive seen this 4% crit damage perk around, is that a bug or just really bad perk?

i havent tested it

[dusk hemlock]

this penance is easy mob hit your shield will not actually fail this penance dont let them hit you hp best way to do that choose camo and follow psyker he alway will be your shield trust me 60% psyker alway use staff and move very slow when they shoot mob

[bleak maple]

This game is so broken my TEAM chat/ pUBLIC CHAT gets bugged and when i quit game to restart it , the whole thing will FREEZE WOW! DUMBSHARK

[bold herald]

most likely repair lol

ghost is a weird one on guns though

[cursive hemlock]

Is this weapon even decent? 💀

[patent sapphire]

it’s a low rated gun you find in leveling, decent for malice but don’t spend resources upgrading

[cursive hemlock]

Haha okay. I only upgraded this thing once early on cause I thought it was cool.

[patent sapphire]

basically as you level you will find versions of this gun with much better stats

ghost is a decent blessing and the perks are decent as well just lower tier

[limber scarab]

Are either of these worth purchasing?

[patent sapphire]

i personally wouldn’t due to low base rating

[cursive hemlock]

What's considered high?

[patent sapphire]

well, those base ratings are things you could routinely find in the regular shop

if you’re level 30 the regular docket shop will average about 330 with most being between 360 and 300

[limber scarab]

do you have gold items in your shop??

[patent sapphire]

no

[limber scarab]

oh, you mean purp or blue that you can upgrade

[patent sapphire]

yeah

and since there’s no way to upgrade stats that we know of those items can never get any better

whereas eventually you will be able to take a blue or purple and put whatever blessing you want on it

personally i have a pretty high standard for what i will buy from melk, i’ve checked every day since the beta and only seen 2 things i thought were worth buying

they were both curios

[topaz lark]

melk's shop is overall quite terrible

Ive yet to see anything worth buying there

[patent sapphire]

my beloved

on my ogryn too

if i could run 3 of this exact curio i would

that penance makes you play as +90 years old grandma in grocery shop. Fun times

[serene latch]

decent when you're level 30

[jagged scaffold]

i dont understand this blessing description

max of 2% crit chance but stacks 5 times
whats the stack condition? it sounds like the "max 2% crit chance" is what increases based on peril

[dusky ember]

What is a good 'requirement' rating to put on curios to quickly decide whether shit is worth keeping or not? Like with weapon I initially started at 350 and increased it to 360 once I started to get a few.

by weapon rating I mean the modifier rating that is.

[nova fractal]

a curio with a blessing rating around 70-80 is pretty good to keep

[serene latch]

you left click, you can 1 stack

[patent sapphire]

80 is the max blessing rating i’ve seen on a curio and pretty much guarantees the highest value possible now for that blessing

[jagged scaffold]

so if i use the right clicks i dont get crit chance?

[jolly night]

guys how many daemon hosts you saw in missions after hotfix?I run 5 games on heresy and saw 0 hosts

[patent sapphire]

most regular missions shouldn’t have one

sometimes they have one

power outage missions can have 3-5 in a single mission

[nova fractal]

they're rare

ran into one just now though

[jagged scaffold]

i see daemon hosts nearly every mission, and i believe a few times more than once in a single mission

[patent sapphire]

maybe they just aren’t registering in my memory because i don’t remember the last time i fought one

[wicked bay]

Is there a possibility to deactive the bots in a private game?

no

you can let them die but that’s it

[mental sedge]

Someone wanted to invite me to a strike team and he wanted to know my gamer id. Where do i find it? Is it the same as my steam id? Is it my player name or my characters name?

[open sedge]

try the lfg channels for whatever your region is

[timid garden]

Hey quick question. I am a sharpshooter and there is a devil's claw sword, is that a power sword?

[verbal wyvern]

need 2 people to help with a tier 5 in under 20 mins with less than 1 wound remaining. Keep getting shitty low levels joining level 5 missions and dying

[open sedge]

no the power sword is called power sword (has it in the name) devil's claw is another weapon.

you'll know when you get one, and also its locked behind something like level 15 or 12 or something, so if you're still low level you won't even be able to get one

[timid garden]

im 27 and have not seen one yet

[versed trail]

What's the difference between all the Ripper guns?

MKII just seems superior to all the others going off by numbers

[topaz lark]

they are just variations, with a bit different range, spread and damage

[rotund ravine]

that must be the so spoken minion the "leaks" mentioned :O ("leaks" old file information that got data mined, could be use in the future or not)

(honestly think the sub classes of that leak was scrapped ideas would be surprised if it was actually coming at least as they where there)

[rustic shadow]

Im sure this is somewhere so apologies but what is this for? and how are they different?

[open sedge]

that represents the highest difficulty you've cleared a mission on iirc i.e. the top image is damnation i think, bottom is malice

[rustic shadow]

oh snap so we can finally see which ones we still need to do?

[topaz lark]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/zmqctn/green_arrows_under_missions_in_the_mission/

[rustic shadow]

Thanks ^^

[rotund ravine]

sadly progress on it tracks between characters so you will not be able to track all of them still ZZZ

[lavish lotus]

Does this mean ive completed this mission on heresy or malice?

[fickle crown]

so I feel like a window on sniper's sound cue and the actual shot is significantly decreased in some cases, when you are walking from behind cover. Is that just me or is it a thing?

[rotund ravine]

heresy would have a skull, so its either uprising or malice, probably malice

[open sedge]

I don't know if its a thing but if they were already aggro on you and you take cover then when you leave cover I believe they tend to shoot faster?

[patent sapphire]

thats malice

[rose trench]

Heresy

[rose trench]

Malice is level 3 deficulty, 4 is heresy and 5 is damnation

[patent sapphire]

yes that’s the malice icon it has 3 arrows and no extra wings

[rose trench]

what arrow ?

malice and heresy refers to difficulty level which is indicated by the number of bars to the right of the skull . . . right ?

[glacial knoll]

Really need help with the game not opening on xbox app

I'm getting the windows cannot access specified device and I can't find any valid fixes

[lavish lotus]

so 1 skull is heresy?

[rotund ravine]

he was talking about the markings under the map, that tell him what diff he completed the map on.

[rose trench]

My understandiung of diff level in this game and how you know which is which is with the skull at the top of the mission card. the more bars there is the more difficult it is. i don't know the name for level 1 and 2 diff, but 3 bars is definetly malice, 4 bars is heresy and 5 bars is damnation. my understanding of this photo is that if you finish that exact mission, you finished the mission at Heresy difficulty level. anything else on the image is irrelevant. correct me if I'm wrong but pretty sure i'm not. hope it is helpfull

[red girder]

Hi , how do i get the white flame thing with psyker_

?

[versed trail]

staff

[pliant bluff]

Probably a common question, but how do I increase the quality of weapons I get from the shop? Is it only based on rating or modifiers?

[fiery elm]

Is this a good roll?

[fervent ridge]

That's an insane roll

The MG XII is the best vet weapon already and you even got a nice perk on it plus max possible base stats

[fiery elm]

Cool, the God emperor has been kind then.

[fervent ridge]

Dump all your mats into this baby she'll carry you through Damnation

Here is a video explaining why this gun is the best gun in the game, turn down the volume a little

https://youtu.be/RJPJqVR_gRI

The guy is rather passionate

[fiery elm]

I can't swap to another class can I?

It's on a Zealot

[fervent ridge]

Awh shit.

Yea you cant atm

[fiery elm]

It will for still be used on the Zealot

[fervent ridge]

viable zealot weapons at harder difficulty is only the flamer and brauto atm and with the zealot charge bug giving you 300% dmg increase you'll trivialize all of the content with it so if you wanna have a little challenge you can still run the Kantrael imo

[red girder]

why is the dmg so low on the blue higher rated one_

?

[fervent ridge]

because the purgatus does flamethrower-like damage over time burn while the surge zaps lightning out in a burst

[red girder]

so the blue one is better_

[fervent ridge]

14 - 16 dmg / tick of burn is normal for flamers / purgatus staff

[red girder]

?

[fervent ridge]

Going off its higher base rating and the pretty good blessing i'd say so yea, if only the perk was vs flak armored then it'd be perfect

Since about 70% of the enemies in DT are flak armored

[gilded flare]

I agree with him for the most part but he does sound like someone insulted his kantrael and took it personal.

[red girder]

Thank you!

[fervent ridge]

Yea I could only watch 2 of his vids before I got tired of how seriously he takes everything this dude sounds like a giant sweat

[odd badger]

How to earn more resources to upgrade weapons and trinkets

[fervent ridge]

But i'm a pretty casual player so coming across content made by hardcore nerds who exhaustively test all my weapons for me saves me the trouble making informed choices

[gilded flare]

I'm a sweat but I come no where near how ''Passionate'' he is 😂

[fervent ridge]

Malice (T3) for best plasteel farming runs, Heresy and Damnation has better Diamante drop rates (T4 & 5)

[fiery elm]

He is likely in the server now watching and going to drop another video soon lol

[gilded flare]

[fervent ridge]

I wouldn't mind that honestly I need some dude to test all my ranged weapons at all ranges make spreadsheets about it and then argue for why X is better than Y so I can save myself the effort of testing it myself

[real parcel]

What is a "Flash" mission?

[faint raptor]

Anyone else having pairs of Hounds spawning without howling sounds, without the hunting grounds modifier on the mission?

[north bloom]

purgatus staff

[hard goblet]

Not implemented yet.

[warped mica]

what's the highest base rating for relics?

[real parcel]

I don't know the highest rating, but the highest I've personally seen is 134

[tough valley]

amazing how he is able to headshot standing targets like that. Least we account for Heresy and Damnation being normally chaotic. I feel you ought to take this with a grain of salt. Sure the Kantral is good, if you have time to aim, but there are situations where, corners are tight.

[mild basin]

alright so there was a bug with the lightning staff being too strobe-like, has anyone else experienced the flame staff being super bright?

i dont even know what im targeting half the time

cant even see the reticule indicating that im hitting things

[mighty fox]

now you seen higher

[rotund ravine]

But the kantreal MG Xll will 1 tap on body shoots most ranged enemies on damnation so you realy dont have to aim too much, its great, but to say its the only weapon to use is false too so the title of that video is misleading, but the mg 12 is still the ultimate snti enemy ranged option

Ops forgot to mention will 1 tap body shoot during volley fire*

[north bloom]

are percent increases stacked, or applied all at once? ie if I have a 20% damage bonus and a 15% damage bonus on a weapon that does 100 damage is that 135 damage or 138?

[fervent ridge]

It's like I know what you mean but the Kantrael has the best sights in the game made best optimized for hitting heads so every other weapon will statistically hit less headshots than it or even bodyshots to begin with

[rotund ravine]

Still loving the buffed helbore mk ll tho, so good right now

[fervent ridge]

If you cant hit headshots with a scoped reticle you are definitely not pulling it off with the shitty ironsights they give us on about every other ranged weapon

[real parcel]

I'm not sure about that, I feel like there may be some goosing on iron sights

[tough valley]

I agree that it can deal with most ranged enemies, given its reliability. I feel like it's a rather opinionated display. He is using sniper, which requires some form of range to make those 1-shots, and does need to hit weak spots to be reliable, that is very situational. To counter his arguments on the bolter, he is using an grey bolter, without blessings like shattering which along with volley-fire and the bigger they are.. (excluding sniper feat) turn most Ogryns and larger targets to paste, without ranged (Sniper feat) not being needed, which is - in my opinion - far more reliable in a Damnation match where, things can spawn in your face.

[fervent ridge]

I have no love for the kantraels they destroy my wrists and I prefer brautos since i'm a zealot player but I have yet to find a better presentation of the 'best' ranged weapon (flamer doesn't count it's not a gun) if I was to really sweat Damnation

[rotund ravine]

I didnt watch the video, i just have used kantrael a lot even on damnation without sniper but i do have opening salvo and it resly claps.

But i suppose each person their play style

[tough valley]

Neither is a bad choice. You can 'snipe' with a bolter as well, although the downside is the magazine restrictions and you really got to learn the aim, but it's possible. The bolter can shoot through soft surfaces too, which makes it ideal to get elites covering behind those as well.

[rotund ravine]

But since the buffs i have been favoring helbore mk ll

Bolter is great

I have 4 weapons to use on damnation
