[hard goblet]

Bots are generally useless, yes.

They dodge very inconsistently, will lose all self preservation if someone goes down and simply beeline towards them in an attempt to raise them, and generally have poor loadouts.

The only reason you can get away with them on Malice or lower is because those difficulties have weaker enemies.

[serene latch]

just like most people on first time doing damnation

[bleak maple]

This game is so bad omg , crashes , chat gets bugged , bots/AI is worst i have ever seen , social lobbby gets bugged doesnt show online friends sometimes , scabs do double damage in some maps

[restive wren]

Yes, but it ciould be worse 😄

[bleak maple]

also when Firing lasgun sometimes there is a 4 second delay

[rotund ravine]

well the max is actually 540, 380 from base rating, 2 tier 4 perks totals 50, and 2 tier 4 blessing(super rare) total 110. 380+50=430+110=540

[void plaza]

Don't think any weapon can have 2x tier 4 blessings?

Only a few blessings that can roll tier 4 blessings and pretty sure no weapons can have 2 that roll for tier 4

[void plaza]

You forgot max base of 385 for rounding error too, so max is 545

[honest spire]

what does this 2 blue arrows means? i get them when sprinting

[void plaza]

It means you are sprinting -.-

[rotund ravine]

hmmm, but can we really count that 385 as a real power rating taking that you only have 380 worth of stats?

[honest spire]

even while attacking?

[void plaza]

Yes bc the rating adds the 5

[rotund ravine]

besides it will probably get fixed and the weapon be brought down to 380 rating as it should be

[void plaza]

There's a lot that probably should get fixed, but seeing how it isn't listed on their forum as an acknowledged issue, I'll still consider a max of 545 for an item atm

[fallen turret]

Hi guys, does +20% damage resistance to gunners apply to scab and dreg shooters?

[open sedge]

scab/dreg/reaper yep

not that reapers can aim well enough to hurt you

[fallen turret]

hmm i see

[sage cave]

only the elite ones, mind

[fallen turret]

thanks thanks

[sage cave]

not the regular trash

[fallen turret]

oh

that kinda suck

also

Does Corruption resistance and Corruption resistance (grimoire) stack when holding onto a grim?

[pure marsh]

anybody know the duration of buffs like dum dum thart arent listed

[rich smelt]

Anyone knows if there will be any last patch before new years eve?

[royal geyser]

Doubting.

[rich smelt]

F

[rigid wasp]

I need some weapon advice folks

You think getting this 515 helbore is worth it?

In advance for the new blessing changing crafting update eventually

[nova fractal]

i personally would. That looks insane. But I'm a sucker for all of the Lucius variants. Some may say the Mk I isn't the best of the 3

[rigid wasp]

It is the Lucius variant I prefer which is the one with the standard bayonet, I hate the MKII variant with the tiny bayonet.

[nova fractal]

then by all means, get it. Cuz that looks sweet

[rigid wasp]

And it'd be my only 500+ primary weapon, and eventually fatshark will let us reroll one of the blessings on it.

so yeah get it even tho the blessings are kinda meh?

[lucid delta]

Has anyone at this point figured out what makes matches not count for weeklies? Like two people having the same mission or something like that? Buddy just did a mission with us where I got kill credits and he didnt get credit for the grimoires or the ranged dreg kills.

[nova fractal]

yeah, it seems like a solid weapon to keep until crafting is fully released so you can switch out those blessings

[lucid delta]

trying to see if theres any work around besides "Play by yourself without a strike team"

[rigid wasp]

this is my old helbore that I am replacing.

[nova fractal]

It's still a known issue where contracts for some people are bugged and won't count

[nova fractal]

thats definitely a big upgrade

[rigid wasp]

now to play the first match of the day on my new gpu.

I did my first ever home upgrade since I bought this prebuilt PC MANY years ago, from a 1060ti to a 3060ti

[hard goblet]

It is a known bug. No common factors have been found as it's likely an internal issue.

Restarting the game has been said to also work.

[short spade]

What do these things actually do/mean? They're under the missions at random

[hard goblet]

They signify the highest difficulty at which you've completed that mission, per account.

Implemented in the last patch.

They are not retroactive.

[signal cipher]

Ok

I can't sign in because of a backend error

How fix?

All it says is

Backend Error
Error signing in

[keen spear]

I cannot re-rolled one of my weekly quest after re-rolling it a couple of times

is this intended or a bug?

[signal cipher]

I feel disrespected

[open sedge]

i think its a bug, sometimes it just stops letting you

[open sedge]

you can't really do anything since you don't control their backend. can try validating files and all the generic things, restarting router etc, but idt there's a known fix.

[wanton frigate]

what's the difference between Caxe and Taxe? I see this one and thinking about upgrade it to orange for my veteran, but gotta ask

[open sedge]

just different attack pattern, taxe is more crit focused/ single target. that's a pretty nice roll barring crit bonus so might be worth at least testing to blue and see what first blessing rolls

make sure it isn't a limbsplitter

[wanton frigate]

acceptable? 😄

[open sedge]

shred is good yea, unfortunate that its t1 but there's a LOT worse options

i think you go for shred decimator, not sure since i don't taxe

[wanton frigate]

i'm hoping for a 500+ rating axe, but seems unlikely with just 25 rating on first bless 😢

[open sedge]

idt its even possible

[wanton frigate]

500+ rating? it's possible, I saw a 521 few days ago in the shop but not enough coin back then

[zinc beacon]

what does this do?

[bold herald]

Isn't that just text fluff for one of the heavy attacks

Maybe it implies something about that attack's cleave modifier

[royal warren]

looks like a TH fluff. TLDR - you get a charged attack, that can be easely stopped by anything, but deals around "wtf" numbers of damage

[rigid wasp]

hey does anyone here online have the imperial edition

Is there an imperial edition skin for the Lucius Helbore Lasgun?

[rotund ravine]

nah, there is not

[rigid wasp]

damn

[zinc beacon]

i think its an extra charged heavy, until end of durat

Punishment: Attacks that hit three or more enemies grant +30% impact for five seconds. Stacks five times. At max stacks, gain uninterruptible. - what is impact? and interruptible meaning i cant get staggered?

[royal warren]

impact - how "hard" you are hitting, tossing enemies around. Uninterruptable - I get staggered out of heavies pretty frequently even at 5 stacks, but me assuming that even if you got staggered - you attack still goes through

[zinc beacon]

wait so you get staggered, but your attack goes through? how is that possible? wouldnt it also stop the heavy charge

[restive wren]

For the Record: It actually seems like they do count : P

[hard goblet]

Huh, verified?

[tepid skiff]

does it have to? like you haven't gotten any of those completed when you weren't killing anything.

although wait, for penances yes, those're personal.

it's melk contracts that count teammate actions.

which is a highly intuitive and well communicated distinction.

[restive wren]

Nah, I would not yet bet my soul on it.

[keen spear]

so you're telling me that finishing this week contracts is gonna be impossible for me cuz of this trash contract?

[hard goblet]

As intended by Fatshark's design. You're supposed to have 4 rerolls. It's currently bugged and only allows for 3 rerolls.

[tepid skiff]

frankly, not something I'd call impossible. inconvenient and restrictive, sure. but eh.

about as much effort as 25 missions, overall.

[boreal river]

When is the appropriate time to dodge the pox hound leap?

[warm nebula]

Never. Block-push it instead

[modest glade]

Not impossible, just infeasible.

[nova fractal]

Another alternative to dealing with pox hounds is to see if there's an object near you and have it position between you and the poxhound. Then just start wailing on the poxhound to stagger it when it gets near you, because the hound is trying to path around the object to get to you and won't be able to leap.

[versed trail]

The dog not pulling a 90 degree turn without losing any momentum

I like how you can shoot the things and they just shrug it off without even slowing down

[warm nebula]

I was watching a stream VOD where the doggo just… 360🔄 speen while being shot at

Super juke

[versed trail]

but now I gotta ask something: How dafuq do you play Ogryn? I'm almost rank 23 so you'd assume I would somewhat know how to play but my current playstyle with Ogryn is literally this:
1: If at range and nothing is really pressuring close range i just try to pull the aggression of ranged enemies with my shield while constantly marking specials in hopes a Veteran or Psyker decides to use their guns:
2: If at close range (Ranger on ally, Swarm etc) I just spam heavy swings in hopes to keep my Toughness up and create some air.
3: Obviously I also carry stuff whenever i can, reviving allies with bullrush, leaving ammo for allies since passive Veteran regeneration is enough for my grenade launcher most of the time etc

So is there something i'm missing? I feel much more effective as Veteran, even at fending off small swarms because of how busted Power Sword is

[serene latch]

you can't play a class everytime the same way with 3 random people each game

you gotta fill the gap where they suck, and you can be useful

[versed trail]

I just have a much more solid grasp on Veteran. Generally I try to stay alive and then focus on long range enemies to keep the heat of Zealots and Ogryns. If there is a lack of melee, i just stay further ahead to kill stuff with my power sword

But Ogryn is like either you have allies that shoot ranged targets first so i can melee or i'm on pulling ranged attacks duty

[serene latch]

yes, but then you got some dumb ass vets who think spraying the crowd is more fun

[versed trail]

Yeeaaah

[serene latch]

so again, you gotta adapt with who you play

[versed trail]

That's why I have the Gauntlet so i can at least quickly blap some fragile specials

[serene latch]

if you got a team with good range clear, protect them from melee, if they got good melee clear, but no range, charge range

etc etc

[versed trail]

Makes me wish that the MG had less spread with sustained fire. Doesn't really seem to scare enemies when trying to get the suppress effect to work

[patent sapphire]

take off the shield and try the bull butcher mk 3 knife or the power maul, or the shovel

[drowsy lake]

What's the best way to get Make every shot count? It usually goes well in but there's always that one time someone kills what i was shooting at just as i pull the trigger and cause a miss..

[boreal river]

Do an assassination mission with the stub, go melee for the entire thing, then empty your ammo into the targets shield.

[tropic beacon]

would this be the place to ask for help on penances

im tryn to get the on overwatch penance for veteran

any advice would help

[nova fractal]

Try to look for a mission thats low intensity and if its an open map such as Enclavum Baross, to make it a bit easier. Have the camo perk. Make sure to consistently block and push, make sure to check your back frequently, stay with your teammates, kill dogs and mutants from afar with extreme prejudice, and have headphones on with the sounds all the way up and the music off so you can hear the wooshing noise that an enemy is about to attack you from the back (Use the Q key or the quickswitch keybind, the quickswitch only swaps between melee and ranged. you can immediately switch to your melee and hold block without turning around and it'll block the melee attack.). As long as you don't take health chip damage, its ok if an enemy melee hits you once, you just gotta make sure you regenerate that toughness back to 100% before you get hit again. Just gotta be hyper aware of your surroundings

[mental timber]

can someone explain what the krak salvo shots mean
cuz fatshark didnt add a dlc to add better explanation to some mechanics

[nova fractal]

Shots you make in succession with no downtime between them is considered a salvo. So if you spam 3 shots in a row, thats considered a salvo. But if you shoot 1 shot, wait for recoil to reset, and shoot again, the 2 shots will be 2 separate instances of salvo

[heavy solstice]

Any Helbore Mk 2 chads in here? what other blessing do you need besides onslaught ?

[mental timber]

cheers!
cant wait for the dlc to add that explanation ingame.

[nova fractal]

Surgical is pretty sweet for more crit chances

[north shard]

Is this game not cross play? And can you not play with steam if you Xbox pass?

[nova fractal]

No for both questions. They're on separate patches

[silver arrow]

Steam is separate from game pass even if gamepass is on pc

[north shard]

WTF are they for real? All newer games are at least PC cross play most is platform cross play. That’s is so bad explains why I haven’t been able to get a single match late last night for 4 hours

[heavy solstice]

Do i stay with the crit chance on perks to compensate for that blessing or do i rreroll that

[nova fractal]

I mean, it's not Fatsharks fault. It's the fact that Microsoft store has to review every patch before it gets pushed through. So it ends up being delayed for Gamepass users

[silver arrow]

It really sucks cause me and my friend wanted to play it together but couldn't for 2 weeks and when I got it on steam I had to restart my character

[nova fractal]

I'd honestly reroll to a dmg against an enemy, unless you plan to wait for crafting to fully release so you can put the surgical blessing on that gun

[heavy solstice]

yea i was thinking the same, 5% crit chance just didnt seem valuable for me if i dont have a blessing to stack it

[north shard]

how are most new game have Xbox pass and Microsoft and still cross play but not this so sadge devs sucks? I mean I been stuck at error in log in for 2 days lol

[nova fractal]

Just gonna have to wait and see if they make it possible

[north shard]

anyone can make an educated guess if steam version have more or less players than the game pass one?

wanna know if it is worth buying it full price on steam or not

i know steam is around 20k

[silver arrow]

Player count is dropping on both but steam has alot more players than xbox

[north shard]

@nova fractal wait is pc game pass and xbox players play together? or separate?

[silver arrow]

I don't know if it is on consol yet

[warm nebula]

Separate

[wanton frigate]

what's counted as "gunners"? all enemy with gun like shooter, shotgunner, reaper, etc?

^ also, is this one worth upgrading for my veteran?

[cosmic marlin]

im pretty new. is there any way to check my stats? maybe per character? can i check my kills/damage/performance somehow during a game?

[cosmic marlin]

there's literally a special enemy called a gunner

non-ogryn ones that shoot the long bursts

[wanton frigate]

I want to make sure

because gunner is "gunners", but how about other gun-equipped enemies type 😄

[cosmic marlin]

i think it's the literal Gunner enemy, all those perks are listed with the specific enemy type they're good against

whether that's the special name, race(?), damage type

[uneven bough]

reaper also counts as a gunner

[wanton frigate]

also about your question, the game doesn't have any kind of tab that you can check your stats in a game. maybe they are trying to reduce the toxicity, like "that dude doesn't do anything, lets kick him" and stuff like that

[cosmic marlin]

damn that suck

i wanted at least personal stuff. like am I actually doing more damage with this weapon, how many headshots im getting

not even a traditional scoreboard to compare to others, just some stats

[heavy solstice]

I'd personally look for a curio that starts with 17% toughness and then either 5% Health or 4% Toughness or 4% Ability regen

And then in the perfect world get all three perks on all curios

Thats almost an extra health curio and a toughness curio extra you get

plus 12% Ability regen

[serene latch]

it's a coop friendly game, implementing stats requires time

too much effort

[cosmic marlin]

whaaat

[heavy solstice]

21% Health curio with a 17% Toughness Curio with a 1 wound curio all of them having the health, ability regen and toughness perk is invaluable imo

[wanton frigate]

yeah, I would like to have that too

[cosmic marlin]

tons of coop friendly games have stats haha

[wanton frigate]

I only play coop games nowaday, but still want to feel good when I did better than last time

[cosmic marlin]

yeah it's more just for build management

[wanton frigate]

you can't even transfer between your own characters 🤣

oh by grenade, I guess you are talking about giving weapon to each other in battle?

[serene latch]

yes, throw the grenade at your friend while in game

[wanton frigate]

wait, what game are you talking about? 😓

[stark stream]

oops wrong server xD

[nova fractal]

LOL

[wanton frigate]

I can't even guess what game that have both grenade and submarine 🤣

[cosmic marlin]

barotrauma, tell me I'm wrong @stark stream 👀

[stark stream]

you are right. I had to play this game with my friend, because his low-end PC cant handle Darktide :/ He get fps 10-20 with low settings.

[silver arrow]

What's the best difficulty for leveling up

Like my friend is lvl 30 and I'm making new character

[patent sapphire]

highest you can do consistently

[serene latch]

2-3

depends how fast you can clear

[patent sapphire]

malice with a condition is 4000

if you can clear that in 20-25m it’s probably the sweet spot

[wanton frigate]

IIRC diff 1 gives 1900xp, just 100 lower than diff 2. diff 3 gives 3100 but you may need a team knowing what to do. So it's diff 1 or diff 3, diff 2 doesnt worth 😄

[serene latch]

diff 2 is worth it cause it's pretty much the same as diff 1 but you get extra xp

you can feel jump from 2 -> 3 wayyyyy more than 1 -> 2

and you get more dockets

[small sierra]

Hi, i'm new, i tried malice for the second time, i won the 1st one but got insta kicked at the 2nd one for 1 single mistake by alerting a daemonhost by mistake and they all started saying gamer words, is this common?

I asked my brother which has more experience in this game and said "did you really got insta kicked just for that?"

and what's the recommended level to get into malice? i did my first one on level 7

[tepid skiff]

it's not about malice as such, it's just that waking a daemonhost is a common noob mistake and/or griefing tactic, so people have a low tolerance for it.

just don't do that in the future, and it'll be fine.

[small sierra]

and why are daemonhosts so broken? feels like has 0 counterplay when you alert them

[tepid skiff]

that's their intent. they're like a witch in l4d, just don't wake them.

and if you do, they kill 2 dudes and peace out.

so it's not a total wipe, just be ready to get to the next respawn totem.

(also, there are 4 different tools that more or less trivialize a daemonhost, but it's easy to lack all of them, in which case get ready to lose 2 dudes)

[odd badger]

what are unyielding enemies ?

and flak armored

[nova fractal]

Unyielding enemies are the Shield Ogryn(Bulwark), Machine gun Ogryn(Reaper), and the 2 bosses you run into through the game.

[odd badger]

does this include all ogryns including plague,beast of N and assasination quest boss?

also thanks for reply

[nova fractal]

Legit wouldnt want to list all of them, but flak armored enemies are the ones that look like they're wearing regular armor. Like the rager with full armor, the mauler's body, one of the gunners and shotgunners, one of the regular mobs

enter the shooting range and hit/shoot various parts of the enemies body parts and it'll tell you which part you're hitting

[odd badger]

oki i know what u mean

[nova fractal]

yes, thats what i mean by 2 bosses. As for the assassination bosses, im unsure

[odd badger]

oki thanks

what about carapace?

[nova fractal]

The Mauler's head, crushers entire body, the wrists and shins of the bulwark and the reaper

[odd badger]

oki

[stone oxide]

Is this chat meant as a qna or do people throw out random blurps to help?

[nova fractal]

both

[stone oxide]

Excellent. My tip is to put dmg vs flak on all your stuff.

Goodbye

[haughty veldt]

technically not gameplay related... but anyone has a better option for AA options instead of DLSS/FSR/TAA to make it sharper looking?

FXAA has a bit too much pixel crawl to my taste

[rotund ravine]

There is a way to kill them, thunderhammer chumk it down, but ye, realisticly its very hard to kill one.
Unless you get 2 priests with thunder hsmmers and watch it get killed before it fully wakes up XD (in malice, on higher diffs you would still need either a shield ogryn or a peril blocking psyker for tanking)

[small sierra]

and i was trying to tank it as zealot xD

so, priests are like the best ones for single target dps?

[rotund ravine]

Thunderhammers in specific yes

Just bop it in the head with the special

But most classes can do a lot of dps during the execution phase, cause the deamon host stands still for like 5 seconds?

Ogryn grenade to the face

Veteran volley fire and unload with that extra weak spot damage

Still that requires someone to go down :(

Also never seen a vote kick for anyone waking a deamon host, you must have meet a premade group of 3 salty gamer ooga boogas.

[rotund ravine]

Also a little tip, on assassinations chain swords melt the boss shield, each tick of damage of the special ability seem to do a full melee swing wort of damage vs him

[small sierra]

I learned how to do assassinations as zealot from a meme that i found

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2EOmhCFnkU

[grand lake]

Is there a setting that shows ability procs on the hud like in VT2?

[hard goblet]

Not that I know of.

[pale sand]

Do curios ever have more than +1 Wound?

[patent sapphire]

nope

[lean plover]

does using multiple curios with the blessing for max health stack?

[hard goblet]

Yes.

And the addition is flat and cumulative. I think that's the right word.

[patent sapphire]

it’s additive not multiplicative

[hard goblet]

If you have +21% on one and +5% on another, then the game will treat it as +26%.

[lean plover]

ok cuz i have a 20% and 2 18%

[patent sapphire]

so two 20% curios is 40% bonus not 44%

[lean plover]

is there a point of deminishing return i should keep things at

[patent sapphire]

most ogryns go all in on health, most others taken one wound and then choose either health or toughness

i think health is the best option for everyone personally but others will argue passionately for toughness

maybe zealots take some stamina for mobility

[lean plover]

i really enjoy stacking sprint efficiency is being able to move fast a waste in this game?

im a veteran

[patent sapphire]

it’s useful, it’s probably useful on vet because they have low base sprint efficiency

class dependent though, for ogryn i would prioritize gunner and sniper resistance over every other curio perk

[lean plover]

ok, one last question.

[gentle lion]

stack toughness in higher difficulties cause ranged are your only problem

don't go stamina, it doesn't actually do much because it decreases and recovers based off a %

[lean plover]

the devils claw, i think the parry in this game is pretty good. but does my char take sime dmg still to parry or is it treated like a block

[patent sapphire]

i haven’t ever messed with the parry so i couldn’t tell you sorry

[lean plover]

nw i appreciate ur help though thanks man

[patent sapphire]

np, you will find what you like as you play more

[lean plover]

oh one more

the meat grinder. is there a way to make the dummys attack u

[gentle lion]

nope

[lean plover]

damn lol. thanks though

[rotund ravine]

i had people swear they saw a +2 wound curio in the past, but none ever provided proof each is annoying, i want to believe them but at the same time there is absolute 0 proof on the internet so they provably misread a stamina curio. :(

[patent sapphire]

if a +2 wound curio exists it only did during the beta

i think people are misremembering +2 stamina

like you said

[rotund ravine]

although i never use wounds, i usually run 1 +3 stamina, and double hp curious, on vet i do 1 stamina 1 hp and 1 toughness.
I honestly think better stats to avoid dying on a tense situation trumps over having more wounds.

[bold herald]

is toughness regen on a melee kill flat or %?

[rotund ravine]

%

[patent sapphire]

for damnation having one wound to account for random bullshit that can happen is why i like to have it

[keen spear]

oh boy, managed to find a mission that the secondary quest

but it's a t1 and nobody is joining

[rotund ravine]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/786208719200583710/1055876604867399700/4lv7r2khz97a1-1.webp

here have a fun chart to read

[patent sapphire]

without it, any corruption and if you go down you’re dead, or if you get mutant thrown into a crusher overhead then you’re on your last wound

[rotund ravine]

now lets go say the zealot that is immuned to ranged fire while sliding is underpowered on the forums

[bold herald]

oh thanks. do you have the file link?

[rotund ravine]

i only got the discord link i copied from another person

so what i posted is what i have :(

[bold herald]

no worries

[serene latch]

if you got toughness regeneration thing, it increases % you get from your close by allies or it reduces the time it start to generate after a hit?

[rotund ravine]

don't know, never got to test it :(

[serene latch]

kinda curious if curios affects all sources of toughness regeneration or not

[honest spire]

what is this blessing doing?

more speed in main attack?

speed in heavy attack of the staff?

[rotund ravine]

no, you know the right click charged attack that you do with the staff? if you fully charge it and go for another charge after that, it reduzes the time it takes to fully charge

[honest spire]

ohhh

you mean the explosion or the lightning

[rotund ravine]

and the more consecutive full charge attacks you do, the faster it goes

ye

[honest spire]

kk thanks mate 🙂

[clear crescent]

When’s the next update and are there going to be into for the next cosmetics coming out for the shop

[warm nebula]

You know as much as we know

[hard goblet]

#📢news-bulletin

If Fatshark decides to answer those questions, they'll be there.

[wispy sierra]

whats missions do dregs spawn in?

[nova fractal]

all of them

[hard goblet]

Dregs can spawn in any mission.

[nova fractal]

Im assuming you meant dreg

[wispy sierra]

yes

and i assume it just picks between the two when starting a mission?

[nova fractal]

they're the yellow dudes. And the shirtless dudes

no, they mix them in with the scabs

you don't have to actively look for them, your team will naturally kill them all throughout the run

[rotund ravine]

from difficulty 3 onward enemies will be a mix of dreg and scavs, on difficulty 1 and 2 i think it picks one or the other

[wispy sierra]

and do i have to be the one to kill for the contract to count?

[nova fractal]

no. It's contributed

[rotund ravine]

nah, team kills count

[hallow forge]

what's the max percentage of toughness u can get from a curio blessing? 15%?

[elder lantern]

u guys think this is good?

[neat hill]

Quick question about curios perks,
is there a perk for shooters damage reduction like in the veteran feats?
Closest thing I found is 15% damage reduction (gunners) but is that only for the elite gunners? or for all shooters?

[forest halo]

is 380 the current maximum score in the 'modifiers' catagory?

[rotund ravine]

Yes, unless you count the UI bug where it says 385 but its really just 380 stats.

[forest halo]

appreciate it. i was losing my mind hunting down weapons with slightly higher base stats and its good to know i have hit the peak

[patent sapphire]

95% of weapons you find will be between 300 and 360 once you hit level 30

anything higher than that is vanishingly rare

[rotund ravine]

lvl*10+80 that is the formula for how good the gear you can equip is, making that 380 stats the maximum

[small gale]

For assassinations mission, on heresy+ is there a specific strategy for the boss room?

[edgy wedge]

ok i need help and i'm too lazy to go to the forums and wait three weeks for a reply from devs
after 150 hours in game, some parts of audio are broken.
almost all of my audio works, except for the in-mission comms. the player voices work fine but like the mission guides dont, its just radio static

[hard goblet]

Melee the boss down. Throw grenades/CC when needed if hordes appear.

Focus down specials when they appear.

[rotund ravine]

chain sword and evicerator have the higher shield dps for the boss, i usually just walk past the boss onto the wall so he can't push me away cause , well i can't go past the wall, and hit him, be careful to dodge the big slam, try block the combo attack, and just attack trough everything else, hopefully at least 1 of your teammates kills specials and horde. (for zealot)

[hard goblet]

Whoever has aggro on the boss, try to stay near them relatively and don't have them wander around.

[rotund ravine]

you can bring chain sword as veteran and psyker for boss dps as well, but if you have a zealot in the team you better of making sure the horde is under control and aiding on boss dps only if everything is alright

although i had times where all 4 are just wailing at the boss and we kill him before the hordes become a problem XD
but can't always rely on that happening.

[edgy wedge]

bruhg

your strats are kinda wack

toss medpacks at boss' feet

melee

[rotund ravine]

well everyone is a critic.

[median thorn]

anyone have any tips for the heavyweight champ penance

[rotund ravine]

that is a real nasty one, i had someone get 1, i can say how he got it, he was shield ogryn, and the rest of us just tried to kill everything buts the ogryn enemies and pushed forward a bit to agroo more ogryn enemies, eventually he had 3 bulwarks and 2 crushers and ran to a reaper, then charged onto the group he had made and got it. yet it was super clumsy , it was damnation though so that probably didn't help XD

[median thorn]

i see well ive been trying since beta and best ive gotten was 4 but it was just after they put it up. so i think one of these days ill just see if i can get a group together to give me a hand

[rotund ravine]

might not get it on the first try, but bring shield ogryn so you can try grab agro and draw the ogryn enemies away from the fight to let your team mates fish for more and hope you lucky for there to be enough early into the map.

good luck

[median thorn]

thank you friend i shall see if i have better luck in the morning

[dreamy sorrel]

Question, when you get a level 30 item, do Profane and Transcendent have different stat values? Like do Transcendant Weapons just have better blessings or is it blessing and stats?

[pale sand]

You can see the score total for modifiers by themselves below the overall score. Perks and blessings show now as well.

Nothing can roll above 380 modifier score total currently, and no individual stats roll above 80

[dreamy sorrel]

Yes but does that effect weapon stats?

[pale sand]

I don't understand the question. The stats are the modifiers. It can roll up to 380.

Everything can.

"Like do Transcendant Weapons just have better blessings" I think I might see what you're asking, each rarity adds a perk or blessing to the base (gray) weapon. Green weapons have 1 perk, blues have one perk and one blessing, purples have 2 perks and 1 blessing, and gold/orange has 2 perks, and 2 blessings.

[rotund ravine]

The rating it self does not have an effect, base stats determin the power of the weapon , and then you get the modifiers in the perks and blessings, that buff the weapon.

Aka power rating is only calculating the "power" of the weapon by adding up base stats, the perks and the blessings, both perks and blessings have 4 tiers the higher the tier the higher the "power". But how good the weapon depends on the perks and blessings it has and not only their tier

[terse crow]

anyone willing to help me get the on overwatch penance for my veteran?

[slow warren]

Veteran’s One after Another feat says it gives 30% reload speed after an elite kill. Is that like 1 charge then its gone after you use it? Or is there a time limit?

[rigid wasp]

you guys think there will be any new cosmetics in the shop tomorrow?

Tuesday is normally the day most games update their stores

[frosty knot]

is this any good?

[bronze hedge]

That helbore looks solid all around

[bronze hedge]

I wish that would happen

[rotund ravine]

the charge rate is a bit low for a MK lll but those blessings are very good.

[tepid skiff]

you can see the icon on your hud when this feat is active. it's something like 5 seconds after the kill, and works only for one reload, i think.

[frosty knot]

wish they add something to the crafting system to reroll stats

[rigid wasp]

Has anyone experienced a bug where

Your game freezes

than your entire PC basically restarts?

[bleak maple]

is the perk valid for this axe? , wat does it do plz ?

[bleak maple]

yes

[frosty knot]

perk? attacking enemy weaknesses increases damage by 8% (enemy weaknesses, mostly headshots, do critical damage). if you're talking about the blessing i think ignore enemy hitmass = more targets attacked (more cleave)

[rotund ravine]

if you mean blessing it pretty much gives your axe infinite cleave, its pretty good

aka, swing doesn't stop and deal damage to every enemy on the way

[weak bramble]

@pure surge here: https://anyflip.com/ycckm/ffff/basic

[pure surge]

tysm!

is it all one rulebook?

or is it split across multiple like 1e

[rigid wasp]

Wait really?

Like your game freezes then your monitor goes black and then it restarts your pc saying it didn't shut down properly and you get the black reconstructing meta data screen?

@bleak maple did it happen pretty much like that?

[pale sand]

Can someone translate this to English? How does a max of 5% crit stack 5 times? Does that mean actual max of 5%, or 25%? Stacks when? Every time you shoot? Who wrote this crap

[graceful marten]

Best Blessings for each psyker staff?

[slow basin]

anybody want to help me with the on overwatch penance?

[bleak maple]

upto +4% power , scaling with stamina , wat does this mean? if i have 5 stamina bars then power is 20%?

[warm nebula]

To me, that sounds like a hardware problem. Like, an under-spec power supply might panic and activate over-current protection during especially heavy gaming loads

[warm nebula]

I assumed it was +0% Power at 0 stamina, and +4% power at full Stamina

And like +2% power when you have half of your max Stamina

[bleak maple]

thats useless i think lol

waste of blessing

[warm nebula]

It does sound a little low-powered. What tier is that Blessing?

[bleak maple]

thanks tough

35

[warm nebula]

Tier 35? There’s only 1-2-3-4 tiers?

I think 35 is the Power Rating, not the Tier…

Any hash marks around the edge of the Blessing? Or is it on a Curio?

[bleak maple]

wait lemme see

[inner mesa]

ooh, think i hit the jackpot with the emperors gift,

[tepid skiff]

that from a gift? emprah damn.

perks are shite, but still damn.

[inner mesa]

I will reroll one of the perks, but for a gift thats damn spicey

[tepid skiff]

absolutely, yes.

[tacit pecan]

Sorry if this is asked frequently per day, but how to increase rarity of items sold in shop?

i constantly buy weapons with high base rarity, and also high total rarity, but havent seena nything with a base rarity higher than ~368 and that was extremely rare

[thick kernel]

God that’s depprsingly close to being perfect

One point off sob

[uneven bough]

it's based on your level only

[graceful geode]

is there a resource with a complete accounting for base stats on items?

im trying to figure out what the max for gray, green, blue, etc is so i can try to buy good stuff from the shop to consecrate. ive been trying to track it on notepad but my sample sizes are just too small for this to be feasible. like, the highest orange ive seen so far is a 328 melee weapon but ive seen purpose with 374

[inner mesa]

no, however i can tell you roughly what they are from experience

the games stats system isnt based on colour as such

Base stats can go to 380 max so far regardless of colour

then perks and blessings add additional base rating to it

so perks can go 25 each max i think and blessings i think are 50 each for tier 4

base stats accounts for the damage and other properties, then perks and blessings add to the base item rating

[graceful geode]

okay, that makes sense. i was about to say i have an item with 381 but that's after consecrating so it doesnt contradict what you say

thank you for the info!

[odd badger]

how rending works?

[graceful geode]

it applies stacks that ignore armor

[odd badger]

ok thanks

[dull cradle]

What's the most expensive thing you guys have seen from sire melks requisition thingy

[grand lake]

Does consecrating change the items base power?

[tepid skiff]

no, but there's a bug when upon upping an item to orange a displayed power grows. actual sum of its bars remain the same though, it's a purely visual glitch.

[grand lake]

Mines shows a lower power for all colors, bug?

[tepid skiff]

yes, it should be the same bug. an actual sum of all bars is 333, and it will be 333 afterwards.

[tepid perch]

is there a cap to the ratings in the shop

[inner mesa]

depends on your level. suffice to say if your level 30, the average base stats you will see will be int he 340's. but they can go to 380

[tepid perch]

wait it wasnt based on your highest rated gear in inventory?

[inner mesa]

no

RNG based on trust level.

[bleak maple]

wat a useless blessing

all for nothing

is it only 4% power ?

why even add such blessings in game

waste of my time and materials

[tepid perch]

exactly

i mean look at speedloader

[uneven bough]

it's pretty trash but at least it could let you hit some breakpoint

[tepid perch]

just to dilute the pool

[uneven bough]

but you are probably using stamina so

it does affect your ranged weapon too, but that's almost certainly unintended

[bleak maple]

also about the perk

should i change it?

if yes then which one to go? 20% flak armored?

[wanton frigate]

does this mean 8 bullet will magically added into the gun everytime I crit?

and dramatically reduce the reload needed? 😄

[little coyote]

from your ammo pool yeah

[uneven bough]

If you use it for horde, the weapon needs some help to one-shot headshot damnation poxwalkers, so 10% weakspot damage or something

[wanton frigate]

weakpoint shot = crit right?

[little coyote]

no

crit is % based on any hit anywhere

[wanton frigate]

😢

that drop the usefulness a lot

[little coyote]

in the psykanarium you can see cirts as yellow damage numbers and weakpoint hits as orange iirc

[wispy sentinel]

Hi !, Someome to clean or help me for the penance / achievement "Going Out With a Bang", (kill 3 elites in one explosion with the psykinetic), I have an almost sure solution to have it if we are 3 / 4, we are 2 for now.

[opaque swift]

im am on a discord call playing warhammer but it keeps on black screening periodicly any way to fix this?

[wanton frigate]

do we have a toggle aim option? holding down rmb is tiring

[patent sapphire]

5% damage bonus for doing nothing is fine

assuming tier 4

[stone forum]

The perk that says 20% damage against unarmored enemies mean that its only effective against pox walkers or does the damage bonus apply to unarmored portions of enemies? for example a Dred Rager's thighs have no armor but they wear a mixture of Flak and Carapace armor

versus a mutant which is wholly unarmored

[heavy shuttle]

What perk should I reroll on this?

I'm thinking the damage vs maniac to see if I can get a +20% against something more generic and less situational

But then again... Stamina can always get the boot too.... Not using it too awfully much thanks to dodging.

[celest jewel]

I'm confused, why is the base stats rating so high on this weapon, but it has less damage per shot and less ammo?

[patent sapphire]

different archetypes

[celest jewel]

I know, but isn't one of those guns vastly better than the other?

[patent sapphire]

kantrael is a better archetype, the headhunter has better stats

each archetype has a base functionality, and the stat bars are essentially how much of its max potential does it live up to

just take damage as an example

[celest jewel]

Ah, alright, so some gun archtypes are simply better?

[patent sapphire]

there is a minimum and maximum range for damage

[compact hornet]

Yo, is this revolver worth grabbing? :v?

[patent sapphire]

and the damage stat bar is basically how far up the interpolation curve that particular gun is

[compact hornet]

Looks to me like an elite killer

[patent sapphire]

and it’s different for every weapon

[patent sapphire]

i imagine they are trying to have them relatively balanced but yes, generally for lasguns the kantrael and the accatran archetypes are the best

[patent sapphire]

basically long story short is you can’t directly compare the bars for two different archetypes

[onyx schooner]

is it just me or is the server kinda fucky today

[gentle lion]

@stone forum this is late but y’oushould go into meat grinder and hit different enemies to see what damage type they are; for example - mutants are not unarmored, they have maniac damage

[versed trail]

Wait what, I thought those are free bullets. I've been using that blessing my Stubber so i might've just not noticed

[remote fulcrum]

Guys what blessings should I run on my zealot curios, I'm thinking about 3x stam

[river osprey]

Stamina perks best perks

[gilded cove]

Do we know what the % damage increase of an unmodified crit is?

[river osprey]

I got all my penances running +3 stamina curios, trust me, I am a professional

[gentle lion]

if you don't run +9 stamina you're honestly trolling your team

[remote fulcrum]

okay thanks guys

[gilded cove]

Pls cease this activity. People might believe you.

[faint nexus]

Anyone know what a "Flash" mission is? Its the last mission type that I need to do for the vantage point achievement but I've never seen a flash mission pop up.

[patent sapphire]

not in the game yet

the types you need for vantage point are assassination, raid, strike, repair, investigation, disruption, and espionage

[faint nexus]

I did them and its locked at 6/7

[patent sapphire]

speculation is that flash missions will be like a limited time event

you’re missing one of them, unfortunately the game won’t tell you which 🤷‍♂️

[faint nexus]

Damn, thanks for the help anyways

[wraith raven]

Is this worth getting or should I hold off for a higher base rating?

[feral gust]

'Damage Resistance (Mutants)' That's just the 'Mutie' right? It's not a class?

[feral gust]

<shrug> If it stops you obsessing on the it, get it.

• I would keep looking till the base is over 368
• But I wouldn't let it play on my mind.
• Get it to tide you over.
• You'll have plenty of time to collect Dockets to buy another one (when you find it)
• Damage output is prime (and 69% is respectable and no 'trash stat' there)

[wraith raven]

Thanks!

[glass lagoon]

Can somebody explain to me what that means?

[toxic zealot]

believe it means your swing wont stop on a fat guy because hes so fat

[silent patrol]

How do I know what level of difficulty I'm capable of?
Is there a reference of gear score per difficulty square?

[verbal wyvern]

Ummm???

[glass lagoon]

I don't know if that makes any sense on that weapon because it's a single hit weapon

[patent sapphire]

if you’ve got a very high success rate and the current difficulty you’re on isn’t challenging any more try the next one

[stone forum]

I was under the impression that the legs and arms on Scab Ragers/Maulers were unarmored but all of the shots earlier registered as Flak Armor

[patent sapphire]

difference from 2-3 is pretty small, difference from 3-4 is pretty large

[stone forum]

I tried shooting other enemies with mixed armor and their unarmored shots registered as unarmored

wtb a combat log during missions

[open sedge]

try a difficulty, if you fail go back down to the one below. While weapon rating does matter, skill is a big factor

[tacit pecan]

are monstruosities more likely to spawn on certain difficulties or types of map?

[patent sapphire]

higher difficulty = more monstrosity

assassination boss counts as well

[bronze hedge]

anyone know if scriptures increase difficulty or horde numbers?

or are they just collectibles

[patent sapphire]

collectibles

[open sedge]

just collectibles

[patent sapphire]

they just take up a deployable slot

[bronze hedge]

thanks

[tacit pecan]

Thank you, I had heard that assassination missions had higher chances of spawning monstrosities. Just ran 2 level 1 assassinations, and both spawned one, but might just be luck

[rotund ravine]

It mean the swing will no longuer stop, and will hit everything on its way, top tier blessing specialy on heavy axes

[hard goblet]

Every enemy has a hit mass value based on what type of enemy they are/what type of material you hit. This value is subtracted from your weapon's cleave value until it reaches 0 and your weapon then no longer will apply damage to further enemies for that attack.

[rotund ravine]

So, weapons have a cleave value that lers say is 5, and enemies have a mass value, lets say a groaner the weakest enemy as 2 mass, for every groaner the swing hits it removes 2 cleave from the weapon swing, once it runs out swing stops

Brutal momentum just makes every enemy hit mass 0

Also the rhere is usualy a damage reduction after your swing not being at full cleave, but brutal momentum means you do full damage on every enemy cause of being at full cleave all the time:P

[hard goblet]

The attack pattern may be single target, but it may still be able to hit multiple enemies with one swing.

[rotund ravine]

The mk V heavy axe actualy has very wide swings, its the best axe with brutal momwntum cause of that.

[honest jackal]

The recon las gun unlocks at lvl 10 for sharpshooter right?

[rotund ravine]

https://thenerdstash.com/all-warhammer-40k-darktide-weapon-unlock-levels/

[rotund ravine]

Vla variant unlocks at 10 from what the site says, but the other unlock later

[honest jackal]

Thanks

Alright

[rotund ravine]

also just a mark, i think that site is missing some weapons for each class

at least there was no mention of a mk V combat axe for psyker but he can get them :O

[young kernel]

any tips on sharpshooter 100% accuracy losing my mind

[honest jackal]

dang

[rotund ravine]

i haven't done it yet, but my plan to get it when i go around to it is to take a auto pistol on assassination, and use the huge boss shield hit box to unload, this requires a premade that is wiling to cover you as you unload all you ammo on the boss shield, and to baby sit you trough the game while you fight only in melee.

i suppose the the fastest shooting infantry auto gun would work well also.

if your team is good enough to 3 man heresy you can technically kill your self before the boss, to only have half of the ammo to burn as well

[verbal wyvern]

Anyone know if block eff effects shoving?

[round wagon]

how do you get the mask on the veteran featured in Fatsharks latest tweet?

[gentle lion]

hard to miss with shotty

[raw moss]

Not in game yet, might be next tier penance mask but we dont know

[hard goblet]

You can't. The asset is in the game, but is not accessible to players yet.

[rigid wasp]

I mean I can't see it being a psu issue

monitoring my hardware the max watts my cpu and gpu draw are around 381, I have a 750w 80+ gold psu

[warm nebula]

That’s a good sign. Does any other game turn your graphics card into a hair dryer / hard crash your system? Or is it only Darktide?

[rigid wasp]

It's was only darktide, and it only did it once i've been using this GPU since the 25th.

And it only happened once ever, primarily grinding out darktide these days

[warm nebula]

Hm. Could have just been bad power from the utility company, I get that sometimes… the voltage dips a bit

Used to mess up my stuff until I bought some power conditioners

¯_(ツ)_/¯ good luck in the future bro

[rigid wasp]

It was weird tho my game froze for a few seconds then the monitors went black and it improperly restarted my pc.

[dusk arch]

most likely darktide specific but I once had a faulty outlet giving me greif for 3 weeks until I unplugged it moving it to another room when my sister noticed that outlet was bad

[rigid wasp]

this is the same outlet I've had my PC plugged into for like 2 or 3 years

[warm nebula]

Now we’re getting deep into Mechanicus-level machine-spirit appeasement

Nothing for it but to break out the votive candles and chants of sacred smoke-preservation

[edgy wedge]

I beg the omnissiah for help with wwise audio and the i/o buffer being a bitch

Like fr I sure do love it when I get to hear hadron, or rather not hear her because the audio is self immolating into static

[warm nebula]

That’s just binharic, your puny flesh-ears are not meant for the glory of efficient digital communications

Verify integrity of game files, maybe? It’s… it’s about all I got 😔

[cursive hemlock]

Why are flamethrowers viable again? 👀

[wintry void]

my buddy got something similar, try checking RAM

[rotund ravine]

since when where they not?

[wintry void]

Zealot with hammer, mainly crowd control - health or toughness curios?

[rotund ravine]

flamers where always viable, and do surprisingly good damage to bosses, have light crowd control to hordes and can deal damage to most enemy types, sure they lack range but they where always good.

[rigid wasp]

I mean I'm still using the same amount of ram when I played Darktide with my old gpu before I put in the new one

there was also that other dude last night who said he experienced this too.

if 3 people completely different people experienced this only in darktide, maybe it's darktide?

but maybe it's very very uncommon

[rotund ravine]

do you have a program you can use to track temperatures? It could have been a overheating shutdown, if the game is pushing the usage to 100% and the new gpu as some thermic issues could be the cause. always worth checking even if its not.

i use MSI afterburner, good program to keep tabs on cpu and gpu usage and temps

[rigid wasp]

I have yeah I already monitored the temps of my new gpu

and the maximum it hit was 72, it's designed to operate at like 75 to 80 or smth like that

[rotund ravine]

then it beats my knowledge im afraid :(

[wintry void]

its not about amount - check windows memory diagnostic. Issues could be there - switching ram slots could help too

[kind zephyr]

WTF I thought the infantry autogun was terribad

turns out, with a good base stat roll, the hipfire is painfully tight and doesn't have reverse-damage fall off.

Reload is also super snappy. Really decent super all-round.

I think I'm using the Heavy variant. Tan colour.

[pale sand]

Is that on a Columnus or something, the good ones have a lot more recoil.

They're still terribad

Four what? Seconds? Shots? Enemies hit? ESL translators copy editing blessings?

[rose igloo]

Amazing for suppression

[pale sand]

...which is borderline useless

[wintry sapphire]

what best for collecting grimoires, Max HP, Corruption Resist, or Corruption Resist (Grimoires)?

[dusk arch]

btw do the green bars below the missions mean, some have none some have 1-5

[opaque ibex]

Anyone wana help with psyker penance to 90 brain burst a boss?

[compact nova]

It symbolizes the highest difficulty you've cleared on that mission

[compact nova]

Grimoire resistance doesnt work

[compact nova]

2 arrows means you've cleared up to level 2
3 is level 3
3 with skull on top is lvl 4
and Skulls on both sides means 5

[pearl kayak]

My game keeps crashing when I try to stream to my friend with discord :DDD

[warm nebula]

4 the emperor

[rigid wasp]

One more Damnation mission to finish then I've done all 7

[kind zephyr]

Repair?

[rigid wasp]

yep

[kind zephyr]

The trick is getting one to spawn when you're actually online for it.

[rigid wasp]

def the most annoying because there is only one Repair mission

just gonna level up my psyker probably while I wait

last class I need to get to 30

[hard goblet]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/zhu85k/grimoire_corruption_explained_and_why_corruption/

[golden swan]

are the monstrosities in certain categories the same way other enemies are? ex: unarmored, infected, something else

[hidden burrow]

so corruption resistance is worthless rn?

[patent sapphire]

unarmored parts of monstrosities are unyielding afaik

[golden swan]

would love to know for sure, but interesting

[hard goblet]

They are considered Unyielding.

[wintry sapphire]

So yes, HP is best

let me know if i read that wrong

[proper rose]

What are the biggest gameplay jumps going from uprising to malice?

[icy jackal]

How does no respite work? Does it mean i do the bonus damage if i get the stagger, this seems pretty strong if so

[graceful geode]

near as i can tell, there's very little incentive to grab grims at the moment. this will likely change so make sure you keep an eye out for the stat at least

[hidden burrow]

had this but stopped rolling when i heard it was a bad stat

[graceful geode]

malice is where you start getting a real taste of how the wrong mix of specials in the wrong place can really work you over. youll need to make sure your blocking, dodging, and overall sense of where you're standing and not cornering yourself are up to snuff

respect frenzied enemies and anything that two-hand strikes you from above especially (start learning to sidestep them if you arent already), they will wreck you and it'll just get more punishing after malice

[hard goblet]

It means that they need to already be staggered for bonus damage to apply, which then scales with how staggered they are. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8_VTP2mglo

[proper rose]

Thanks for the info!

[dull current]

does anyone know if the Combat Blade has a higher base crit chance ?

nvm I found someone say ts amount :3

[wary igloo]

What's the quickest way to level up? I'm told that psykers are best at higher levels, and I'm tired of feeling like tissue paper lol.

[rotund ravine]

it deals bonus damage depending on the stagger status of the enemy, there is a small stagger that interrupts their attack and makes pushes them a little, a mid tier where the enemy almost losses their footing and get pushed a farther, and heavy stagger for enemies that have fallen to the ground, depending on how staggeed the enemy hi the more damage he takes.

[rigid wasp]

I wish Trayzn would've trapped Commissar Yarrick for his collection.

like with Creed

[rigid wasp]

Tbh it's kinda dumb when you can guess which heresy level mission you're missing

simply because it's the rarest

and barely appears

[tepid skiff]

imagine not keeping a notebook of which heresy missions you've done on which character.

[rigid wasp]

I kept track of my other 3

but my first first char I didn't

imagine only having one repair mission type

[queen onyx]

whats up with all the different lfg names. Nasa, emea...?

[tepid skiff]

ikr, really confusing. but those are regions. north and south americs, europe + mid east + africa, etc.

[hard goblet]

It's explained in #vox-lfg-lexicanum

[queen onyx]

i got it thanks

[compact nova]

Look for the icon under the mission, if it looks like this, you've done it already

[balmy silo]

is there any good way to farm plasteel and diamantite? trying to set my ogryn up with good stuff but upgrading is a pain because i end up needing completely absurd amounts of plasteel

[rigid wasp]

I..know this

I'm just saying the mission rarely appears on damnation

[compact nova]

yup....yup....I cry a little for you

[rigid wasp]

It's the last damnation mission I've been missing for days

very pepega

sometimes I wish I could afford a 40k army 😦

[compact nova]

is it repair?

[rigid wasp]

yes

[graceful geode]

grinding malice seems to be the agreed-upon method since a decently skilled/geared person can run them quickly and completely quicker than heresy or damnation where more can go wrong

if you've got a decent group, though, heresy and up gives a lot of mats per run. it all depends on what you can reliably clear as quickly as possible at high a difficulty as possible

[heavy shuttle]

Malice runs are also rather low stress among the initiated. Much easier to scout around for mats in 3 than in the dogfight that is 4+.

Last thing you want is group split looking for pickups when the increased spawn rate kicks in.

[rigid wasp]

I'mma lose my mind man

every time I get a zealot on my team

they never use the flamer

ever

I'm starting to think flamer zealots don't exist

[fervent ridge]

There are like a billion of us, you must just be really unlucky to not run into any

[heavy shuttle]

I've ran into more flamers than not. I suppose you could always request it in the lobby?

[fervent ridge]

Ye some games both zealots will be running flamers and make the run boring lol

[open sedge]

tbh if its not damnation i explicitly avoid the flamer because quite frankly i'd rather run a stubby revolver - still do something with specialist removal, but then I can flail around in hordes. So you can't really blame them imo

[rotund ravine]

i don't tend to run flamer on my zealot :(

i like running heavy sword lX and bolter.
although i change build every few maps for diversity XD

[open sedge]

Because I use thammer I run flamer on damnation, although i've been toying with the xii, stubby (can't hit breakpoints with the one i have 😭), and a brauto

[rotund ravine]

actually i only got my first flamer a couple days ago and didn't use it, went to play a bit of psyker instead :O

today was a veteran grind, got a decent stated bolter with excellent blessing on the weekly store and needed to get all the weeklies done to buy it XD

worth tho

killing damnation crushers in 7 shots(without volley fire), and thanks to pinning fire, can 1 shot most things that sometimes just live with a little hp with my other bolters :P

[open sedge]

vets should really just be using the xii

someone post the video with the annoying as fuck guy

[rotund ravine]

glares at you from behind the gas mask and fixed bayonet of the Lucious pattern riffles

don't you dismiss my dear helbore MK ll !

[open sedge]

or honestly let me rephrase myself
they shouldn't use the boltgun

don't know enough about the other vet signatures to know if they're that much worse

[rotund ravine]

i like variety tho, and boltgun does okay, specially if another vet on the team is already geared for gunner murder.

[open sedge]

oh yea i guess i shouldn't try to impose upon what people want to use

totally free to use what you want i just talked aobut how i used the stubby revolver

[rotund ravine]

helbore mk ll, is as ammo effecient as the MGXll , hits some more breakpoints when comparing body shots, and damages carapace.
weakness are a worse aim down sights than the MGXll, and no penetration(always stops at first target even if its a groaner)

so as of currently, i like to use the mk ll as a Xll rival that allows me to hit carapace, but is a little harder to use

[little coyote]

Honestly I prefer the Helbore sights

[rotund ravine]

but i will be honest, what i miss the most is the flash light, it actually helps a lot with aiming since i can see better.

[open sedge]

i've heard good things about the helbore too tbh, and quite frankly i didn't play much shooter beyond hitting 30 - i just don't fully understand boltgun on a class that's designed for picking off specials when every other class can pretty well deal with carapace in the majority of builds.

[little coyote]

In the end it's just fun to use

And ADS is still accurate on it if need be

[brittle marsh]

So I have this challenge stuck at 6/7

But I have ran every mission type on lv3 atleast

this a known issue or?

[little coyote]

the arrows are account wide so if you have more than the one character you really can't tell which ones you've completed on that character specifically

[brittle marsh]

That cant be true as I finished an investigation that was showing only 2 flags this morning, Meanwhile ive done the cheeve on my other chars fine

[little coyote]

it's map specific, not mission type

those arrows I mean

[scenic tinsel]

What are the best blessings for a flamer?

[serene latch]

are you sure you ran a mission at heresy and not a map

cause those arrows afaik shows a map run, not the mission type

[quick remnant]

Overpressure, Inspiring Barrage and Blaze Away

Quickflame is nice too

[cinder igloo]

Do you have more than one character?

Because those are account-wide, from my understanding.

I'd need to double-check to be sure, gimme a sec.

[quick remnant]

It is account wide

[brittle marsh]

Huh thought it was personal mb I guess

Ran some random missions eventually it popped so hey it is what it is

[cinder igloo]

Good luck figuring out which you're missing.

I'd suggest checklists for the lists the game doesn't supply. ;_;

Anyway, anyone know how you request a server posting on #📌communities ?
I know t his ain't really the place to as, but I figure I'll ask anyway

[quick remnant]

Send a Dm to one of the Warden ? I think that's how it's usually done

[feral gust]

My Melk Weekly Contracts don't rollover.
Am I missing a manual step?

[cinder igloo]

It's not mentioned anywhere that I can find (am I blind?), but if it comes down to it, I suppose. It does seem only the CMs can post in that channel, though.

[cinder igloo]

You mean when rerolling or when you finish? A bit confused by that phrasing

[quick remnant]

I think that what you're supposed to do

They will pass it along to the CM when possibl

[cinder igloo]

Well, can't hurt to try.

[soft urchin]

Anybody else have issues with rerolling the Milk Quests? I have enough money but nothing happens when I click Replace Task. Finishing 6 secondary objectives is impossible.

[versed trail]

I'm pretty sure it's locked to 3 rerolls a week

[little coyote]

Think someone said there's a max times you can reroll them but the game doesn't tell you that

[versed trail]

but i also recall something of a bug that limits the rerolls to only 2 (but don't quote me on that)

[soft urchin]

This game man...

Thanks for the info.

[cinder igloo]

There is a reroll bug, at least.

A dude managed to get locked to 1 reroll on a character.

and it almost certainly isn't only just one.

as for the limit being a missing UI feature, iunno.

[versed trail]

I have two questions. Currently i'm trying to get the second Helmet for Ogryn and most of those missions are straight forward but:

Gone Bowling (knock down 70 enemies with a single Bull rush): Where is the best place for that? I've been trying to get those knock downs by rushing through Poxwalker hordes, but apparently the highest amount I ever knocked down was 29.

Friends will be Friends: (Stay in coherency of a living teammate at all times): I'm assuming that i have to be only close to a single ally at all times. Now: Do I have to stay in their coherency as well or can i make my life easier by taking towering presence? (increasing my radius by 50%).

[quick remnant]

Gone Bowling (Don't have it yet); most people do it on high intensity mission and wait in tunnel with the whole group, everyone must block and not kill

To let them accumulate

[versed trail]

So pretty hard as a solo player?

Especially with all the power sword Veterans running around

[quick remnant]

As for Friend will be friend, thats a good question/idea, could play with another Ogryn to make it easier

And yes most Penance are a pain if you try to do them with the pubs

Or without having it as a common goal

[versed trail]

Wait, so I need to stay in their coherency radius and not have them in mine?

No wonder there are times where I see the symbol that i'm in coherency with allies but don't get regeneration

[radiant osprey]

When it comes to ranged and melee weapons do the perks (properties in vermintide speak) apply regardless of whats equipped ie if i had a melee that had 25% damage vs carapace but shoot at carapace with a ranged weapon that has no damage vs carapace perks would it still deal the 25% extra damage

Aka does it work like vermintide where it doesnt matter if i have damage vs armor on my melee because it counts for all attacks including ranged ty lmao

[feral gust]

I finished a Weekly challenge "collection". It says 4 days left... It's been almost a full week now.

[cinder igloo]

It resets at the same time every week, when did you finish it, specifically?

If it is indeed an unheard of bug, that'd be unfortunate, but not too unexpected.

[feral gust]

I think I finished it 3 days ago. (my first 'collection' so I'm not sure about the 'schedule/pacing'.)
I'll wait another 4 days and see if it resets then.
I'm only confused cos it takes me aaaages to complete a contract... and was surprised I fisned a collection at all.... then the wait.

[cinder igloo]

Basically it's at a fixed time within the week, regardless of it being finished or not.
I believe it's 4PM PDT on Sundays?

My time conversion may not be accurate. It's 8AM for +8 (on my Mondays), if you wish to confirm it separately.

[open sedge]

4PM PDT (or PST or whatever people want to call it tbh) is what mine is too so that should be right.

[tepid skiff]

weeklies reset at 00:00 GMT of the new week, simple as that.

[void plaza]

Bowling: play the cryo rod mission on heresy+ and wait on the elevator (don't hit button to go down). There is one small path leading to it that all enemies funnel thru. Wait for hoard. Profit.

Friend one unfortunately requires a friend you just both run the extra coherence radius and hug eachother the whole level

[long arch]

hugging is pog

[ashen latch]

Purple items i get from mission rewards that have bad stats, any reason to keep them or just sell?

[stone eagle]

Is this a bug, cuz it doesnt show me the estimate of how higher the rating will be?

[mellow bone]

It has the estimate for the perks

[stone eagle]

so curios cant get any higher through consecration, you actually need to find higher rated curios?

[mellow bone]

It just adds a perk, so it will get that much higher.

[open sedge]

yes its a bug

i've had weapons say their rating was going to decrease

[civic spade]

I helped a random do this one the other day, just ask a zealot if he'd be willing to help you do it, might find someone like me

[silent patrol]

can someone explain this passive to me

[nova fractal]

are you asking about the purple bar in your health?

[silent patrol]

im assuming the skull icon is associated with the purple, right?

[lone adder]

Hey is there a way to change sprinting to a press once instead of a hold?

[warm nebula]

That is how many players are in coherency with you (including you yourself)

[hard goblet]

The purple portion of your health bar is corruption damage. The skull icon shows how many squadmates you are in coherency with.

[hard goblet]

Yes. It's in the game's options menu.

[silent patrol]

oh ok, and corruption is caused..how exactly? Certain enemies? What's the case

[hard goblet]

Dying. Grimoires. Certain enemies.

[opal lion]

Hi !
Is there a fix or something to do with the text chat, cause it don't work ?
When I press Enter, I have an empty box that don't show or send messages...

[lone adder]

Thank ye

[serene latch]

infested mobs etc

[glass lagoon]

whats "rip damage" in particular for chainsaws?

[rotund ravine]

the wounds will do corruptions damage to you, infested enemies(weak enemies that look heavily decayed) do some corruption, non assassination bosses deal lots of corruption, being netted slowly corrupts you, pox bursters(explody guy) deals a lot of corruption, dying fills 1 hp segment with corruption, and grimoires set a minimum amount of corruption and after that tick slowly for more.

[rotund ravine]

when you hit an enemy with the chain sword with the ability on, it will stick to the enemy and deal a few instances of damage(i think its either 5 or 6) that is rip damage, the last tick deals more damage and has another name, i kind of forgot :O

[quiet ginkgo]

Just want to make sure I understand coherency correctly.

Imagine the dots represent players and the circles are the area of the coherency-aura.

According to the picture, only Green and Red are in reach of 2 other players aura while Blue and Purple only reach 1.

My assumption is that in this scenario, everyone will have 4 buffs of coherency because all players are in some way "linked" to all the others. This allows the "coherency field" to be much larger than if the other 3 players were required to stay within the aura of the 4th player to achieve maximum buffs.

Is my assumption correct? If so, how does the Ogryns level 15 feat "Towering Presence" affect this dynamic? Is it increased for all players or only the Ogryn?

[vivid moon]

Does this game have any ETA on at least enabling PC crossplay. Makes no sense that cause im gamepass pc I cant play with Steam users. We are on the same platform....

[compact nova]

unfortunately, its only in relevance to you as you get a stacking indicator on the bottom of the screen. While technically everyone has some level of coherency, the effects of it are dynamic based on the number relevant to you. So you gain very little with 2 compared to 4

[compact nova]

no eta yet

[warm nebula]

If the name for the last tick of rip damage isn’t “tear”, I’m gonna

[glass lagoon]

thanks

[rotund ravine]

oh i just verified rip is actually the last tick of damage, what i described was Sawing damage

[verbal wyvern]

by any chance, does anyone know if block efficiency effects the amount of peril you take when using (Kenetic Deflection - Psyker) or is it only when you surpass the 90% peril and you get onto the stamina?

[glass lagoon]

thanks

what are the best perks for boltguns? I have a +4% ranged damage on groaners and poxwalkers. Think it could be better. Should I refine it?

[rotund ravine]

extra damage vs groaners and pox walkers are kind of useless, cause the bolter will 1 shot them regardless, i would probably prefer damage versus unyielding/carapace/flack armored. Or reload speed.

[glass lagoon]

yeah thought so, thanks

yeah boi

the blessing is kind of bad imo tho. is there a possibility to replace it?

[storm slate]

3 people in here who would be able and willing to help with an achievement run on Heresy? 🙂

[loud matrix]

What's the run?

[storm slate]

Make Every Shot Count achievement for Veteran. Any map will do just preferably not an Assasination mission

[loud matrix]

May I recommend the plasma gun for the veteran attempting it, with its fat hitbox, low ammo, and safer charged shots

[storm slate]

Oh yeah no I already have my approach locked down, I just need a group I can communicate with 😄

[rotund ravine]

the crafting system is incomplete as of now, so not yet, but yes in the future. but i wouldn't spend too many materials on low level weapons, you will find better ones quickly since every lvl up increases the level of weapons you can find.

[static lynx]

anyone willing to help with "just a flesh wound" ? We are two Zealots trying to get it without success :p

[glass lagoon]

What's the level cap rn?

[rotund ravine]

character lvl is 30, weapon base rating(its the addition of the stats damage/mobility/stability/reload speed/stopping power) can go up to 380(there is a bug that can show more than 380 but the stat still only add up to 380), perks can go to tier 4 that is 25 power each(each square to the left of the perk means 1 tier, the one on your bolter is tier 1, the worst so only 10 rating from it) and blessing that also can go to tier 4 and give 55 rating at tier 4(again you got a tier 1 the worse so only 25 rating from it) so the max rating for a weapon can be 540.

[sharp bramble]

WHERE to report people

[rotund ravine]

you can see the blessing tier based on a few lines coming out of the icon, flat like that is tier 1..

example

[jovial tendon]

Should I hit level 30 before I try heresy missions?

[rotund ravine]

Yesn't? If you know how to play the game properly you can do it and still do good, but if you not a veteran of the genre its probably recommended to get some better gear before trying, but it can definitely be done.

[warm nebula]

Do you feel like Malice is too easy? If so, you're ready for Heresy.

[rotund ravine]

malice is speed run city :3

[jovial tendon]

I've been successfully completing Malice missions often so I think I'll try out heresy

[rotund ravine]

if you have not played heresy ever in the past, the biggest difference is that ranged enemies become a lot more common and scarier, so you actualy have to use the brain a bit

[warm nebula]

Are you also -1 Wound? Or is that only in Damnation?

[rotund ravine]

you reaction to getting shot should be one of two, you going melee and have a means of approach, or get into a position with some cover and maneuver around

[rotund ravine]

heresy already has a - 1 wound

[jovial tendon]

Darktide is my first Warhammer game but I'll keep that info noted for when I try a heresy mission

[rotund ravine]

1 more thing, fear the shotgunners

from heresy upwards, they will wreck you.

[jovial tendon]

Gotcha, I'll make sure to be careful around them then. Thank you!

[rotund ravine]

slide a lot too, it helps

[open sedge]

yea shotguns should be the highest priority for any vet to dome, although fortunately for some reason they pull out a shovel when you get close

because the shotgun isn't cqb enough

[rotund ravine]

wait for the elite ogryn with a reaper gun that, shots you until he runs out of ammo and then charges you with the "bayonet" :3

[silent patrol]

Do we get any extra rewards for these modded missions?

[rotund ravine]

more xp and money for playing a mission with a modifier..

[silent patrol]

ty

[rotund ravine]

even lower intensity gives bonus. even tho it makes the mission easier

[pallid ether]

im lvl 13 zealot, i think this a pretty decent roll for a two-hander, yah? my main question is should i be pairing it w a flamer for peak cc or a diff gun

[rotund ravine]

for a lvl 13 character hat is good yes, evi can deal damage to crushers decently enough so a flamer does well.

[open sedge]

if there's a group of crushers and maulers ngl flamer does pretty well if you're willing to give up 20-30 ammo

[edgy wedge]

hi hello yes my third try with this one
anyone got any help with the wwise audio I/o buffer? i appear to have overtweaked mine and now people like Zola have static for their voice lines, and no verifying the game files has not fixed it

[gilded cove]

Are you able to drop a scripture after you pick it up?

[hard goblet]

Only via swapping it with an ammo crate or medipack you find in the level.

[gilded cove]

Pretty lame.

[open sedge]

you can also kill yourself

they're not like grims

[quiet basin]

is this a decent roll?

[open sedge]

stability

[quiet basin]

Hasnt really hurt me to much in game to be honest

I wasnt as impressed with the damage output though

Running this build with it

[graceful geode]

not to sound snide but is the stability keeping you from hitting shots and thus affecting the damage? helbore takes a bit of work to be accurate even in ideal situations

[quiet basin]

I thought about that.. bim about 90% sure Im getting those headshots in

Ill keep an eye out in case that might be the issue

or weak spot I should dsay

[graceful geode]

best of luck to you

[fervent cedar]

I have been stuck on 6-7 missions for my peneces for almost 2 weeks now i have 2 level 30s so i know i should have done one by now, any one know if there is a mission type that has been missing for repair or anyhting?

[compact orbit]

can someone help me with "going with a bang" Psyker penance 😦 Really hopeless for me... I don't wanna ruin anyone fun trying to do that

[hard goblet]

That 11% stability is insanely low.

The Helbore already has trouble engaging at long distances due to sight picture, recoil, and sway even with the buffs it received.

[compact orbit]

wait can I ask for help here ?

[hard goblet]

You'll likely have better luck in the appropriate vox channel based on your region as stated in #vox-lfg-lexicanum .

You can ask here, but this isn't really where most people look to form groups.

[compact orbit]

thank you

[open sedge]

tbh i would just make a written list/stuff it in a private server whenever you do and complete one - remember the chevrons under a mission should be account wide so will not accurately portray something for a specific class.

[quiet basin]

bummer the other stats were so nice

[silent patrol]

Are Weekly contracts group based?
Like 500 scabs, is that specific to my player killing 500, or the team?

[hard goblet]

Group actions contribute to weeklies.

[void plaza]

melk buy for psyker? y/n?

[uncut jewel]

milk coin buy y/n

[hard goblet]

That's literally a 380 perfect god roll stat distribution.

In what world would you not take a 380?

[uncut jewel]

ngl been leveling and moving on not really been looking for making builds

[hard goblet]

It doesn't cost you anything to just buy weapons you see at 370 or higher base rating though. It doesn't even need to be for the sake of a build.

[unreal aurora]

What y'all think of my Autogun? Swap Flak for Reload Speed maybe?

[hard goblet]

Flak damage is far more useful.

[unreal aurora]

Thats what I was thinking, just for dealing with the scab shooters

[tepid skiff]

with most enemies really. almost half enemy types are flak.

blessing selection on this piece is perfect, really nice.

[red swallow]

being able to change blessings cant come fast enough =/

[hard goblet]

Best not to jinx it. We don't know what changes they may make to it before implementation.

[tepid skiff]

yeah, it might be even worse than what they did with perks.

[lost scroll]

Do I need to use the highest rating item to get higher rating items or can I just keep them in inventory and use other items?

[hard goblet]

The range of ratings you can see in the Armory and Melk's shop are solely tied to your character level.

[glass lagoon]

Thanks

[glass lagoon]

What does "rending" and "power" mean?

[rotund ravine]

rending gives you a buff that allows you to ignore a portion of armor.
Power is a increase on damage and penetration stats, don't know the exact math behind it.

on a melee weapons i think power also increases cleave, but can't say for sure :(

[glass lagoon]

Thanks. Damn. I hope there will be a wiki soon.

Have you guys found any page or entry in the forum regarding enemies and their weakspots, strengths/weaknesses and what else to consider? For example I have learned, that you can push hounds when they jump for you

[kindred storm]

Does Heresy actually give more Plasteel than Malice? Its hard to notice if it does

[rotund ravine]

Dont have an entry link but its not complicated, all enemies weakspot is the head, exception being the beast of nurgle , however a mauler has carapace armor in the head so its better to go for body shots where they have flak armor.
For dodging enemies, you can dodge the traper net by dodging sideways after you hear her getting ready to fire.
Dog you can dodge sideways as soon it starts its jump animation or shove, i usualy dodge and shove for extra safety.
Mutant, just stand still in the open if its coming for you and dodge almost on the last second that is the most reliable way. But you can move to left and dodge to right on last second too. But that can cause to move unpredictably.
Pox burster can be shoved when he jumps at you, and if you dodge backwards after shoving him you should be able to avoid the explosion. Can take a little practice

[umbral glade]

Etiquette question. For someone new to Malice diff, is it polite to experiment with new guns for the first time in Malice? or should you try them out in lower diff first?

[gentle lion]

Experiment away, malice is enough for one person to carry

Plus malice is a good starting point to test out a weapon and then ramp up difficulty to see how it really feels

[glass lagoon]

Very much thanks

[glass lagoon]

Thank you very much

[warped flint]

What're the best perks/blessings for surge staff?

Also, does surge staff count as ranged damage?

[keen wedge]

Surge is amazing at killing flak and carapace, weak vs. unarmoured and infested, so depends on what you want to do with it. It does count as ranged i believe.

It does have a crit-based attack style so anything related to + crit chance would be nice, and blessings like Warp Nexus. Terrifying Barrage adds to its considerable CC because it only hits 5 enemies at once, so it might buy you time but I'm not sure on the blessings myself

[warped flint]

Which is better in your opinion?

[wanton frigate]

what does "block efficiency" do?

[little coyote]

lose less stamina when blocking I presume

[serene latch]

or gain less peril

[glass lagoon]

How to play with the Atrox Mk VII Tactical Axe?

[placid wharf]

Anyone know if going Stereo Headphones with 7.1 surround headphones is better than choosing 5.1 in-game?

Ah okay, had a slight paranoia that maybe the 5.1 and 7.1 wouldn't work well together or something.

[silent compass]

i read somewhere that toughness regen speed on curios doesn't work right now?

[open sedge]

yes, apparently not.

Last I saw, they decrease the delay before your toughness regens while in coherency.

[steel cargo]

did anyone completed atonement for zealot that requires to not shoot entire mission? ive done it 3 times and still cant get it

[rigid wasp]

Is the other eviscertaor worth buying from elk?

[gentle lion]

Savage sweep changes evis by allowing your light attack and push attacks to cleave through units when it kicks in, but unless you have an excess I would just hold off for a better one

Damage > shred > pen > cleave targets > mobility

shred and damage should both be 75%+ because that's where all the damage on special attack comes from; pen doesn't affect it but it would affect your damage in a horde of armored units

[neon dawn]

Any suggestions on Perk rerolls for this:

[open sedge]

should benefit more from something other than crit hit damage, you'd have to go into the meat grinder and find out what you don't oneshot with various charge levels in damnation (or whichever difficulty you play the most). #veteran-class channel would probably know more about specific breakpoints the weapon tends to struggle with/be used for

im inherently inclined to suggest maniac.

[neon dawn]

Yeah I tooled around in the Meatgrinder for a bit, unlike the complete faceroll my bolter usually does the Plasma is a bit harder to judge. Maniac was tempting too

Thanks!

[long arch]

I haven't played on a dark/low-visibility map in weeks, what gives?

[rigid wasp]

What do you guys think? change unarmoured to maniac?

[crude holly]

is this weapon good enough for heresy? got it lvl 28 then upgraded> sharpshooter

worried if mobility is a problem

[open sedge]

most weapons with okay base rolls are good enough for heresy. rolls are fine and mobility is your dump stat anyway so it looks solid. hopefully you rerolled the right perk, i assume the one you rerolled was something dumb like stamina or sprint.

blessings aren't all that good but the mg12 is a cracked gun

don't even really need the greatest blessings

[scarlet pecan]

so, why cant i name a zealot "shilvia"? silvia i can, and some random names have a H .-.

[worn relic]

lasguns dont have a long weapon draw animation, so use your melee for mobility and swap when you need to shoot
damage and ammo stat look fine, flak is a good perk
blessings are not great, but wont stop you from doing heresy

[crude holly]

what blessings are top 3?

[inner bronze]

i feel like deadly accurate seems good situationally but idk much about all the blessings

[worn relic]

"ghost" and "between the eyes" for neutral game.
reliable immunity to suppression and ranged damage is ridiculous QoL for most of your gameplay as an XII lasgun vet

consolation prizes - deadly accurate, infernus, headhunter, and opening salvo
anything else is bottom of the barrel

[hard goblet]

I'd argue Deadly Accurate is in fact bottom of the barrel.

People misunderstand that it does not boost your standard weakpoint damage.

[worn relic]

its only up there because headhunter offers crit chance, but yes it is pretty hard to proc

[inner bronze]

oh yeah i didnt realize that mah bad

[kindred storm]

Does Shred work right now? I don't see a buff Icon pop up for it

[fiery vigil]

ghost and between the eyes are not that good

A good feats build already gives you functionally infinite suppression immunity and practical immunity to ranged damage

opening salvo is the best MG12 blessing by far as it allows stalker bodyshot 1taps during volley and a few other things

I'll believe in ghost/between the eyes once someone actually posts footage of them actually using those to their benefit instead of just volley fire + unwavering focus which render them redundant

[quasi thistle]

Does the General Corruption Resistance Curio also affect the Grimoire DoT effect like the Corruption Resistance(Grimoires)? Vice Versa: I'm assuming the (Grimoires) one doesn't do anything for other corruption causing attacks nor does it affect the INITIAL chunk of HP that gets corrupted after picking up a Grimoire.

Or maybe the whole bloody thing is bugged somehow.

I need help with the screen

[remote compass]

assuming you want to be in fullscreen without the bar on the bottom, switch to e.g. windowed and then back to fullscreen again in the game's Video settings

same applies for borderless fullscreen

[frail gyro]

Does height make a difference? I got a tiny zealot and I think it's making it harder to land headshots because of the POV, but I'm not sure

[little coyote]

it does

smaller characters also hide better behind boxes and such

[frail gyro]

Is there an optimal height for melee chars then? I wonder if there's one where headshots are simply a straight horizontal swipe

[little coyote]

enemy height does vary a bit as well but I suppose the default height that the character creator starts at or tiny bit taller

[frail gyro]

nice, ty

[dapper robin]

I kinda wanna spend my melk tokens on random mystery acquisitions

just got this out of my random normal shop

[versed trail]

Gonna sound kinda dense but is it smarter to get Melks judgement stuff instead of just buying those really pricey weapons that are just "eh"?

Since theoretically you could get a bunch of greys with high rating to upgrade

at least that's my thought process

[dapper robin]

that's what I'm thinking also

[versed trail]

Like I want a Transcendent Stubber to try in higher difficulties but this ain't the one for 3000 points

[dapper robin]

I got like 3.4k to spend

I might do mystery

I already got 2 500+ lasguns

[dapper robin]

You want me to try some mysteries and let you know what I get?

[versed trail]

I mean, I know it's usually greys and greens

with some high ranking ones

Can't wait to get a bunch of greys, only to get upgrades that have bad perks or blessings

[dapper robin]

3.7k

do I just do a bunch of mystery acquisitons

[stoic wing]

what is the best melee weapon for sharpshooter?

[tepid skiff]

power sword, of course.

[quartz root]

is there a way for me to get drip without paying premium currency

[feral gust]

It depends on your skillset/timing.
crowd-control:: swarms : sword/chainsword
boss: axe, chainaxe
if you have to ask: devil'sclaw or axe as a starter (test your playstyle)

[quartz root]

@tepid skiff laughing emoji, i feel bad about this

[tepid skiff]

well, i mean, there are penances, they grant some decent items.

but a very limited set.

[warped flint]

What's the best way for a surge staff psyker to take out a nurgle boss slug thing? Does the shock even do any damage against them or no bc its not hitting the weakspot?

[worn relic]

use your melee or brainburst/quell ad infinitum

[stoic wing]

thankss

[feral gust]

At higher levels: it's the swarms that kill me.
BigBang being BestBang is a fallacy.

[red escarp]

im getting conflicting answers on how the shred blessing works, do u only get the buff by hitting the same target or any target?

[bitter trail]

Does anyone know if the psyker's lightning staff can hit weak points? Want to know if it's worth rerolling that perk

[little coyote]

go to the test area and see if any orange damage numbers appear

[warped flint]

Does consecrating something drop the base damage by 10?

Just noticed it but dunno if it was a bug or something

[bronze hedge]

Does anyone have an idea on how to kill a boss in 5 seconds? It's a penance.
