Malice or lower and a competent team.

fiery vigil
#

the answer is power sword for everything and it's not even remotely close

#

other weapons are strictly for fun or survival sticks for when you're not ready for a difficulty but need to get carried on it

#

perfectly valid to not want to play power sword though

#

it does trivialise the game to a great extent

median seal
#

anyone know if max block efficiency on weapons is +15% or is there a higher one? I've rerolled like 100 times and never seen a tier 4 block efficiency

fiery vigil
#

you can get +20%

keep pressing that button like a trained lab rat

Hello ! Can someone tell me what are those symbols right under the mission's portraits? The ones with 1, 2, 3 or 4 chevrons.

whats +1 wound (curio) for?

open sedge
# glass lagoon whats +1 wound (curio) for?

not being used your wounds are the number of separations on your healthbar, when you go down and get resurrected, one of those wounds will fill up with corruption. when you run out of wounds you die. +1 wound will make your healthbar divided into more segments so you can go down more times.

Possibly the only thing the community can agree on is that you should not be using wounds at all once you have a half-decent grasp of the game and mechanics, because toughness or even health will always provide greater returns

#

essentially picking wound curios is saying you want to go down, because the alternative is picking health or toughness curios that aid in preventing you from going down.

serene shell
#

are weapon ratings in the shop completely random or is there a way to influence them?

#

other than increasing your character level

open sedge
#

random. you can check shop with a new chrome extension so you don't need to open the game now, so there's that KekDoggo

Not impossible, but it will test things that Malice (3) doesn't teach you very well.

seriously though that shit is fucked

Damnation feels just right to me.

Good high point for difficulty and density/pace.

Which one is better

hard goblet
#

Also you'll want to note that the Helbore also has incremental ammo usage depending on charge level.

#

Partial charges will result in respective ammo consumption between the min and max.

hard goblet
# mellow jetty Which one is better

Would depend on the whether the one on the left meets any break points for # of shots to kill that are more efficient than the one on the right.

It's not my favorite weapon but

#

380 modifiers is pog

#

Does mission difficulty affect the quality of gear you get from the emperor's gift?

#

or is it just random

hard goblet
dapper robin
#

do scrips or grims increase your chance at a reward?

hard goblet
#

No.

dapper robin
#

and have we found the best difficulty for grinding materials?

hard goblet
#

Whatever difficulty you can reliably complete quickly.

#

Plasteel is always the bottleneck and that doesn't really change the higher you go.

#

You just get more diamantine in higher difficulties.

dapper robin
#

so malice?

#

if plasteel doesn't change

#

wait I feel like plasteel does get more common the higher up you go

hard goblet
#

You could theoretically get more plasteel at higher difficulty, but it takes longer because you spend more time looking for it and enemy spawns are more numerous and faster paced.

#

So in the end the time tradeoff ends up being about the same.

dapper robin
#

hm

#

So maybe heresy is the best then?

azure zenith
#

I crafted this. Is this a good weapon for zealot? I know Lacerate is supposed to be good. What perk should I roll? Is Block Efficiency bad?

Whats worth rerolling, unyielding or pox? I figure rerolling Pox

# unreal aurora Whats worth rerolling, unyielding or pox? I figure rerolling Pox

both are basically useless, but pox is probably slightly more useless because you'll already oneshot them. stub is usually used to clear out specialists/elites and stuff so flak or specialist or elites would be best. you'd want to test in meat grinder to find out what enemies you can almost onetap, and then adjust from there.

Excitedly checking the weekly vendor at reset each day just for it to be complete junk, for 5+ weeks now, with like 12,000 melk bucks saved up, is just getting so so old. There needs to be better item weighting, guaranteed rank 4-5 blessings and base item rating with higher weighting than the armory.

soft heart
#

I got this available at melk, not sure if these blessings are any good. They LOOK funny, but I don't know how good the zealot maul is for applying stagger onto already-staggered things. I don't know how these specific blessings work at all, really.

red swallow
#

skullcrusher is good, and you have a high rank of it, there are only 4 possible crusher blessings, and skullcrusher is the only one that isnt terrible

timber plinth
#

what does +1 wound actually do? i know that it gives you extra "bar" of hp, but whats the point? does it give you extra hp or is there another reason to want to have extra "bars" of hp?

soft heart
#

Corruption damage. Every time you go down you are given a full pip of corruption damage, each pip being a "wound"

#

Higher difficulties strip you of one or more possible wounds.

#

They are essentially second chances and more of them means more safety. If you have corruption damage down to the final pip, you don't go down, you die.

#

It's the difference between instant death at half health or death at 33%, 25%, etc.

red swallow
#

the short answer though is wounds are not good itemization, maybe if you could get +2 wounds from one relic. Best I can tell its usually best to stack toughness, as its your most renewable stat, stacking wounds is like planning around failure

soft heart
#

^ basically that, too. It's stuck at a poor potency and not very economical. If you're carrying grimoires, though, it's generally safest on whoever has the most available wounds because of the corruption over time

#

It is a safety net

timber plinth
#

yeah, i see all those feats that give you various ways of replenishing toughness and wonder to myself: why would i want to get hp or wound, while i cant replenish those?

soft heart
#

They're all %s. Ogryn, for example, has like 300 health base but only 100 toughness. Health is much more economical on them.

red swallow
#

yeah the most succesful playstyle is to try and not let them get to your hp bar, and if they cant get to your hp bar, then you dont need a lot of wounds or hp

soft heart
#

If you play perfectly you don't need any curios, but really that's not going to happen. It's just a way to try and cover your weaknesses.

red swallow
#

ogryn should be good at stacking health, but they have like 5 different toughness regen and damage reduction mechanics, and theyre all percentage based, so higher base number of toughness on them, sadly works out better imo, same on zealot

soft heart
#

That is true, it just takes more investment.

#

The way I see it, there's always going to be that time where you got sniped and lost your entire toughness bar and a good chunk of health, there's always going to be that time where you stub your toe on a lick of flame and lose your entire toughness bar. Ideally it doesn't happen, but health and wounds are better at covering those scenarios.

#

There's a lot of "what ifs" you can play around with but recognizing your own weaknesses and covering what you can with curios instead of just playing the mathematically/theoretically sound option can get a player further

icy jackal
soft heart
#

Because melee attacks when you do not have 100% toughness slip through. Also everything else I posted.

#

If you have the curios and the playstyle to support them, go for it.

#

I'm not saying you have to build health.

icy jackal
#

The stagger ability and aoe of ogryn heavies counteracts getting hit and you cant regen health anyways. Losing a few points to chip now and then is astronomically more economical on higher difficulties than getting you toughness 2 tapped and then eating a 60 damage melee that you cant regenerate.

tepid skiff
soft heart
icy jackal
hard goblet
#

No one "tries to HP tank".

#

The concept of HP is there to act as insurance and a buffer to the run ending in case things do go wrong.

#

This includes situations outside of an individual player's control, such as the skill of one's squadmates.

#

Or the AI director's sadism.

icy jackal
# hard goblet No one "tries to HP tank".

And my argument is that stacking toughness which can be maintained easily with ogryns talent set will keep you alive longer than being able to eat a couple extra melees with HP.

hard goblet
#

The thing is, it won't make a difference in regards to taking melee damage.

#

Against ranged damage? Sure maybe.

#

But against toughness, the moment you take more than 1 melee hit you will receive chip damage bleedthrough.

#

It doesn't matter how high your toughness number goes.

icy jackal
tepid skiff
#

don't be with no toughness then.

hard goblet
#

But chip damage is also inevitable.

#

In that scenario at least. Unless you expect to never take more than 1 melee hit in succession.

red swallow
#

it does tho! thats the thing, more toughness and toughness regen talents keep it at chip dmg, lower toughness turns it into chunking hp

hard goblet
#

It's not that hard to maintain toughness as it stands, even without feats.

#

lower toughness turns it into chunking hp

#

Your overall amount of toughness makes minimal difference in that.

#

Melee chip damage is % based.

icy jackal
hard goblet
#

I just find it a bit odd that toughness which is meant to mitigate ranged damage and primarily has effective mitigation against ranged damage is being proposed as the ideal way to also mitigate melee damage.

#

Your toughness takes more damage from melee than ranged. Melee hits will drain toughness faster.

#

If you're expecting to not die from being hit by melee, then you're also expecting not to get hit in melee at all.

#

At which point, it'd make more sense to insure that if you do get hit by melee it won't be a major detriment to your health which does not regenerate.

#

Rather than your toughness, which does.

zinc wharf
#

Toughness is absolutely better at higher diffs, getting hit in melee is avoidable with dodge, push, stagger... ranged enemies have aimbot and destroy the default 100 toughness. Also all toughness talents are % based. I went from hating zealot to loving it after going from +300 health to 200 and 160 shield.

icy jackal
# hard goblet I just find it a bit odd that toughness which is meant to mitigate ranged damage...

I dont even understand what your argument is supposed to be at this point. There is no rules that say toughness is only for ranged damage. Regenerating 32-50+ toughness on a 160+ bar per heavy attack is far more economical and sustainable at higher difficulties than getting your 100 toughness 1-2 tapped by a gunner and then eating a 50+ damage melee to your HP which cannot be regenerated.

Does anyone here know for sure if you can roll + Cooldown Reduction on curios? I know you can roll Combat Ability Regeneration but I've seen a couple sources say you can also get + Cooldown Reduction but I've yet to see it at all with rerolling.

does toughness regen speed (perk on curio) only affects natural regeneration (coherance) or all ways of regening toughness, like "30% toughness regen on warp charge gain" on psyker and such?

but the modifiers is what I'd be looking at.

#

But I mean I'm sitting on 3k melk tokens kinda just wanna full send randoms

because every item in my melk shop right now is at like 330ish on the modifiers.

and I already have 2 500+ lasguns, and with a little crafting luck I'll have a 3rd one when I get some more materials.

#

Are you saying it was designed by a Nurgle cultist?

dapper robin
#

I'm saying both it and the engine were designed by an Age of Sigmar nurgle cultist

#

a 3060ti and I still can't stay above 60fps steadily with mostly medium settings

little coyote
#

probably your cpu that is causing it, it's a cpu heavy game

#

also make sure you have dlss on

dapper robin
#

I like to think I have a decent cpu?

little coyote
#

what is it?

dapper robin
#

i7-8700k shrug

little coyote
#

yeah that ought to be fine, are you running it with raytracing on?

dapper robin
#

nope

#

I just set most of my settings to medium this mission

#

still kinda chugging

little coyote
#

odd, I'm running above 100fps pretty much at all times except on hab drayko with 3070 and ryzen 5 3600x

#

all on high settings

dapper robin
#

hm

#

show me ur settings

#

lemme try to mimic them and see how I perform with i7-8700k and 3060ti

little coyote
#

launcher settings

dapper robin
#

hm you're on Balanced super res

#

mine defaulted to quality so I left it on that

little coyote
dapper robin
#

I'll try themn out after this match

little coyote
#

you could also check Digital Foundry's video on Darktide and see if their options help you out

dapper robin
#

any chance

#

could it be driver related?

#

I have the newest drivers

little coyote
#

well yeah if you've not updated them since release

dapper robin
#

but I've never really tried uninstalling the old ones.

little coyote
#

ah then it ought to be fine

#

if you make a clean install it should uninstall the old ones

dapper robin
#

I just do the express option

#

is that not the clean one?

little coyote
#

no, but it does replace the old ones. It may cause some hic ups but nothing major and even that's pretty raree

dapper robin
#

I'll try reinstalling with the custom install option

#

I assume custom is the clean one?

little coyote
#

in the custom selection there should be an option for 'clean install'

dapper robin
#

ok let me try that first

#

before I close out the game to clean install the driver

#

I got myself all 3 helbores at 500+

#

I said if I craft that bottom one to 500+ after grinding out the mats I'd spend my 3k melk tokens on mystery rewards XD

#

ok I did a custom install clean install @little coyote lets see if my shits fixed now

little coyote
#

hopefully!

gleaming gazelle
#

does rating have any positive benefits on it's own?

#

from the looks of things, upgrading just adds blessings/perks, but with some of the perks, looks more like base stat rolls are more important

#

ok, thanks for the info!

dapper robin
#

lemme load up a mission

#

Nice!

dapper robin
#

ok so just redoing my drivers and running my normal settings @little coyote it's better but not near what u get

brave surge
#

how to get this?
i don't have fren

little coyote
#

huh, check if your cpu or gpu is running at 100%

dapper robin
little coyote
#

yeah

#

try checking this out if the settings they show work better

turbid dock
#

GPU utilisation is really bad for darktide

#

If you want real low settings (beyond what you can tune in the options) you can try some config files

dapper robin
#

the performance overlay I used in the mission I was around 65% gpu uti and 50something cpu uti @little coyote

little coyote
#

do you see more than one cpu core uti in that

#

task manager can show those if not

dapper robin
#

This is all the Alt R menu shows me

#

lemme open task

#

Not to sound dumb because I'm still a novice at all this

#

but should I restart my pc after that driver update @little coyote

little coyote
#

don't think so, no

#

but how did the cpu utilisation look like

marble ridge
#

Quick question, if I have two purple curios and one blue curio, is it more sensible to just upgrade the blue first? Since all of them just add on one single new perk of presumably equal value?

#

Any reason on the ping then?

dapper robin
#

Hey so real quick before I go back to performance testing my settings lol

#

what is the highest Blessing roll you cna get on a curio?

#

I got 2 80 rolls.

#

Are those good? Like 80s.

tepid skiff
#

yeah, those should be pretty much the max.

dapper robin
#

So they worth upgrading with crafting mats then?

#

80 the max?

tepid skiff
#

only if their first perk is to your liking.

dapper robin
#

We can reroll perks eventually

#

Getting a good perk number is better than a good perk imo

tepid skiff
#

only one of three. no point in wasting mats if the very first perk is already sub-par.

dapper robin
#

Those are perks, sorry I meant

#

we can reroll blessings

#

eventually

tepid skiff
#

ah. well, i'm not sure it applies to these blessings. gotta wait and see how fatsharks'll do it.

dapper robin
#

I'd imagine they'd do it the same way they reroll perks

#

I see no point in reinventing the wheel

#

Just keep your current perk/blessing value and then reroll the actual perk/blessing

tepid skiff
#

yes, but still, until it's out, i'd abstain from investing resources in it.

#

ideally you'd find any good curio from emprah gift, and then insert a top tier blessing in it.

dapper robin
#

I rarely every get gifts from the emperor

tepid skiff
#

but will it work like that? only one way to find out.

dapper robin
#

So I just want to ask again

#

80 blessing points is the max?

dapper robin
tepid skiff
#

to my knowledge it is, yes. but you better wait for other answers too.

dapper robin
#

If anyone can confirm this that'd be great. : D

honest crater
#

how come my new characters never find anybody to play with in quick play compared to my maxed ones is there a system in play here that was told to us?

uneven bough
#

it tries to find players who are similar level

dapper robin
#

@little coyote in my task manager my cpu uti was around like 74%

#

and my gpu % was like around 5% on task manager but reading around 60 to 70% on nvidia performance ovelray

little coyote
#

On all cores?

dapper robin
little coyote
#

are all of these boxes filled in similar fashion

gentle lion
# dapper robin

stamina curios actually only increases stamina by +1 even if it's 2 or 3, that being said I would not recommend having more stamina as opposed to more hp or toughness

dapper robin
#

we can reroll our blessings eventually

#

so I'm more concerned with the number value rather than the current blessing

gentle lion
#

well if it's anything like the current perk reroll

#

you'd be able to roll lower and higher tiers too

#

but I get what you're saying

dapper robin
#

@little coyote

gentle lion
#

personally I'm looking to buy three +3 stamina anyways for the memes

dapper robin
#

or forwards

gentle lion
#

it does

dapper robin
#

it only gives you a perk of equal %

little coyote
#

right click on it and change the graph to logical processors

dapper robin
#

I've rerolled hundreds of curios and not a single one has gone backwards or forwards

gentle lion
#

that's false I've rerolled from tier 3 to tier 4 and back again several times

#

hmm but I was rerolling weapons

#

maybe you're right and curios is different

dapper robin
little coyote
#

just see if the cores are utilized all together instead of just a couple for instance

dapper robin
#

how can I tell

little coyote
#

if the graphs all look similar instead of one or two at high usage when others are used barely at all

dapper robin
#

This is what I see rn

little coyote
#

in the hub?

dapper robin
#

well I was in the character selection menu

#

here's the hub

little coyote
#

might wanna test a mission as well if those two (CPU 2 and CPU 9) are utilised more heavily than others, then the cpu you have doesn't do multi core performance too well so that might be the reason for lower fps

dapper robin
#

just swapped chars and loaded back into the hub and now it looks like this.

#

honestly the very often look pretty similar with minor differences

#

I lied after closer looks it does look like 2 and 9 are more used than others.

little coyote
#

so then you might want to lower your cpu heavy settings, but all in all DT is very cpu heavy game with a lot of stuff going on at once so I'm not sure how much better it can get

little coyote
dapper robin
#

Well after updating my drivers and putting on your settings I hit around normally 74 to 80ish frames pretty often

#

on malice and heresy+

little coyote
#

okay so it did improve a bit?

#

which is nice

dapper robin
#

yeah

#

it's weird man

#

in mission they all look pretty same

#

2 is a little higher but yeah.

#

sometimes tho 2 also lines up with the others

Hey guys, I am having issues with matchmaking, not seeing even one rando player on any difficulty, is there any fix for this?

cold moon

#

is it possible for players to exclude someone from the team ?

royal warren
#

hey, just a quickie
for flawless execurion I need to not be downed, right? So, questions are as follows

  • Does that also includes everyone on my team? Cause getting mixed responses on other places
  • Getting netted and saved, dogged and saved, mutied, but still not getting downed resets the counter?
tepid skiff
#

deaths of other players are irrelevant. getting caught doesn't break the chain, only falling into the red health disable.

#

disconnects also don't break the chain.

#

also it only counts missions where you were from the very start, the ready screen. you may hotjoin a mission amid the chain, and it will not count for the penance, but it might break the chain if you die there.

#

i have a 15-chain frame, so tested these things myself.

#

recommend doing it on zealot, if you're confident enough in your faith, because he has a built-in failure prevention passive.

in regards to the pennance "make every shot count"

would using a shotgun for this pennance be ideal? as in, each shot is able to hit multiple targets so firing into a crowd would allow for more than 100% accuracy? or does the game consider every pellet as a bullet and such would make the pennance impossible?

it does sometimes fail to activate, i haven't found a reason why.

#

the swinging itself works without any issues, however.

hard goblet
# gentle otter ive been trying the medipack and go melee strat with pugs

Don't immediately drop the medipack. Everyone needs to have a way to mitigate the hordes the spawn. You can't ignore them. You need to thin them or have someone hold them. If specials spawn like on the chasm station assassination, you must have someone capable of eliminating them immediately that isn't the person holding aggro on the boss.

grizzled basin
# tepid skiff you mean the rev?

yeah, maybe, i cant really figure it out either. its hard to tell when i'm actually doing special damage or not sometimes without the 'glory kill' thing playing

hard goblet
#

The boss will only hurt players if the players aren't paying attention or don't know his moveset. The more realistic sources of damage will be from hordes and specials during the fight.

Not very risky and it's pretty easy to do. Look up a legit guide and just rewatch until you understand it and then give it a go.

I'm just worried about melting my shit, never tampered with OC

I'm looking at OCing the CPU not the GPU tho

don't fuck with bios

dapper robin
dapper robin
urban stag

Oh yeah so cpu is a different story

You do have to do it through bios but I would recommend not using the auto tool

dapper robin

So don't use this setting?

hushed nimbus
#

for the "get x amount of y kills of z enemies" contract, do kills your teammates do count toward my contract? i was in a mission and got the contract completion pop up while i wasn't doing anything

dapper robin
#

So you'd suggest using the bios? But not the ez option?

urban stag
#

Yes exactly

#

What CPU do U have

dapper robin
#

urban stag
#

Probs don't need to overclock tbh

You sure? I was hoping to use it to push out slightly better performance in darktide

Whats the ideal rating on a weapon for lower rarities to potentially craft into 500+ transcendants?

little coyote
#

well 380 is the highest rating a white rarity can have so you could calculate it from there when most perks and blessings are 15-30(?) rating

steady loom
#

ty that helps enough

tepid skiff
#

blessings are 25-35-45-55 per tier.

so you can take a 380 weapon, luck out with both t4 perks for it for 430, and still have 480/490 weapon with bad blessing rolls.

until the crafting is released, at least.

the first reinstall worked for a bit then after a few hours it started its usual

tbh it might be worth running some stress tests and a ram test to rule out hardware then you can remove it from the list of potential causes

at least it would set your mind at ease for hardware

It stuns every non-boss enemy in the game, does high armored damage and is decent or good against most elites/specials. It is also very useful for stunning gunner packs, even behind cover and also kills scab gunners very effectively.

Since when i used it on hordes it would just get stuck on the front targets (Which were probably dead at that point)

# versed trail I'm level 10 with the class at this point and i don't feel any stronger

I'm only lvl 24 with Psyker, playing at lvl 3 missions.

But to me, Psyker feels very versatile. And especially good at crowd control and elite killing.

Force Sword is really good at pushing a lot of enemies at once. And later you can do that without consuming stamina. So you can stay alive in crowds and create space or block passages for the team. (And similar to a chain sword or force sword, you can charge it to take out heavier enemies. A bit risky because you let your blocks down, but worth it in a pinch)

Brain burst is really nice to take out armoured enemies. You don't need more than 2 bursts at level 3 missions, and most stuff goes down in one. Remember that you only need line of sight to start the brain burst. So it's also nice against snipers: Peak out of cover, get a lock, and dodge back.

I really like the Voidstrike staff. Light modes' projecticales are slow but accurate, and comparable to autoguns in damage.. And the charged mode hits more like grenades, staggering hordes and doing quite a bit of damage. Really fun and effective to use. And the staff not needing ammo is an indirect 30% ammo buff for your team.

versed trail
#

I have a tendency to just "overheat" all the time

ornate gazelle
#

That gets better depending on gear. And even at 100% you have some time left to react. Also remember that your "F" halves your peril. It's kind of like an emergency vent button.

versed trail
#

In my experience I was just really inefficient at cutting down anything, especially when there's a Veteran close by or Ogryn already handling crowds

ornate gazelle
#

You should be able to fire 2 brain bursts before reaching 100%, later it's closer to 3. Just don't overdo your staff use if your team is already handling stuff.

versed trail
#

I suppose that might be somewhere where my issue is
Veterans with volley fire obliterate rows of Elites before i can even get my bb to get off, Ogryn has his extreme survivability and crowd control and Zealot can massively buff toughness damage reduction

ornate gazelle
#

Similar to Vermintide, you don't have to do everything. Your main job imho is to kill armored elites and push waves. That really helps to keep your team from getting overwhelmed.

#

And a psyker is imho very helpful in most situations. If the Veteran is able to take down shooters, that's good. But you can step in if the veteran is not available or busy. Same with Ogryn hitting crowds. And for most tasks, two folk doing them is better than one.

digital socket
#

Is Level 15 good enough to try heresy difficulty?

ornate gazelle
#

Also the psyker is imho more ... consistent? The Veteran imho relies heavily on grenades, ammunition and volley fire being up. So he can be quite ... bursty. Like an entire bolter magazine DOES damage. So do grenades. But they are limited and regenerate quite slowly, imho.

By comparison, a Psyker is less bursty. But he also won't run out of resources, and he can use peril for whatever is needed most in the current situation. Heavy staff to blast hordes, pop heavies' heads, push and slice at hordes for ages. Not flashy, but ... steady.

versed trail
#

Level 30 Veterans can keep volley fire up quite a while and Autoguns deal immense damage while having a way better ammo economy

#

They have a feat at rank 30 that increases weakpoint damage by 25% and just resets the duration of volley fire if they kill a single elite or enemy with a gun
During the whole thing the cooldown already started so you might be able to just reactivate it right away or just wait a couple of seconds

#

I mean sure, Carapace is an issue but Zealots and Ogryns have some weapons against those (Axes, Thunder hammer, Power maul etc)

cloud jasper
#

does salvo mean just the first bullet or the full burst?

ornate gazelle
#

@versed trail I haven't been playing veteran at lvl 30 a lot, but I feel the class is more ... specialized depending on weapon loadout and build. Kantrael lasguns or bolters are really nice to take out specialists and shooters, but they are not optimal against hordes. Autoguns or recon lasguns shred hordes, but taking out specialists and elites becomes more of an issue. Also longer weapon swap times and reloading tends to get in the way of things.

And the Veterans' close combat weapons are nice (both chain sword and power sword). But other classes stuff works better imho at crowd control. At least I struggle with being overwhelmed by larger crowds. Running out of stamina is an issue.

Personally, I feel the Veteran can be really good at what he builds to do. But to me, he feels less allrounderish than the Psyker.

Whatever you want - except laspistols,autopistols.
Consider your role:

  1. crowd-control/swarms/horde
  2. long-range 'surgeon', gunners,snipers,elites
  3. boss-killer/specials-killer nuke.
    You'll end up performing 2 out of the three. Your choice/preference.

Consider your melee/ranged to perform one of each.

Your teammates will pick up the slack or fill the gaps.

By lvl 8, you'll have more money than you need.
Don't hoard 'emperors gifts' if you hate the weapon,,, discard/sell it.

Items with high 'base ratings' is good, The theoretical max is 380, but you won't see them till later levels.

I had fun with lights out a lot. A lot of things change when there is no clear vision, and even malice run were pretty tight. But a lot of people complained that "I can't see anything!" (hich is the whole point, I assume, of that mode). Also it was fun seeing a poxwalker horde's eyes in the dark once in a while

Hey, does anyone have any tips for completing the โ€œno melee damageโ€ penance? Like, I refuse to just sit back and be dead weight to my team and even if I did, mutants or hounds like to pick off stragglers, so Iโ€™m just genuinely at a loss for what to do

#

For veteran, not sure if any other classes have that penance

languid estuary
#

I did it with friends, and then attempted it specifically on the Aegis Station and Consignment Yard missions in Low Intensity, using Camo Expert and making it my job to specifically target shooters/ranged enemies. took about 3 attempts with 1 random on the team.

#

Oh thatโ€™s a good idea I didnโ€™t even think about camp expert

The base rating of the weapon cannot go above 380, but there are rounding errors/visual bugs that can make it appear to be higher. If you manually do the math, you'll find the actual number is still 380.

#

I assume by base rating you are refering to the number in the "Modifiers" section of the weapon. i.e. where the stat bars are.

#

And not the power rating which includes perks and blessings.

ya im talking about the number in modifiers section

anyone know if when a weapon perk says "+20% damage xyz" does that mean it does more damage to enemies who have that type of armour somewhere on their body or does it mean when you hit with that weapon a body part that isnt covered with armour

for example if i had a weapon with 20% extra damage flak and hit one of the scab melee enemies in the chest i would likely get it right

#

but would i get the bonus upon hitting his unarmoured head

if i had both unarmoured and flak would i get both?

#

There is no strictly "single target" attack. Only attack patterns more likely or less likely to hit multiple enemies.

#

This is why the Antax Mk V combat axe is so popular because despite having a "single target" moveset, it has diagonal swipes that can hit multiple enemies due to the angle.

# latent timber why do ppl have 2 wounds? seems redic

Running two +1 wounds curios is something some players choose to do because it can provide insurance against the variable skill level of their squadmates or their concerns about their own ability to stay alive. It can also simply be a safeguard against the randomness of the AI director that can sometimes fuck you over in high difficulty missions.

100% Rending (assuming it works additively with itself) means attacking against unarmoured completely on any armoured targets.

#

Which incidentally completely negates the usefulness of the Penetration value on the weapon.

If nothing else, keep that thing to strip the blessing and rebless it on to another weapon without a penetration stat.

Hi! Hoping for some recs to get my ~5yr old laptop performing a bit better. I'm dropping to like 5fps on big hordes and I'm pretty much a drag to play with probably. I am indeed running on the lowest settings. Dell g7 laptop with a 1060, 32gb ram, cooling pad, all drivers/bios up to date. Running on a 3440x1440 monitor out of the HDMI. Specifically asking:

-Are hyperthreading and virtualization better for Darktide? Normally its something I have turned off for freelance work on this computer. I tried enabling it and honestly it feels worse.
-any other bios settings recommended to help out here?

I have never had it happen naturally. When I got it (Heresy) we had to kite a few ogyrns until we found six. Another method that I have seen work is to have two players stay at the first drop down with their shields up and have the other two players run as deep into the level as they can. Any mobs they aggro will run to the two players at the start of the level after they die.

There are set spawns, but it's random which one will be used

Not sure if this is the correct channel to ask. For weapon/gun rating does it work somewhat similar to VT2?
