[young comet]

Though the stamina is only for pushing, no stamina is required to slide or sprint

[grand flint]

i figured it out thanks

ill have to rebind stuff i cant push ctrl and shift at the same time consistently

[young comet]

Yup, it's a stretch to be able to get to both of 'em

[hidden burrow]

question pertaining to the weekly challenges. higher the difficulty the more scab enemies you'll get right or wrong?

[wary halo]

so if i was to make a veteran, if i minimize his height can he still shoot over boxes or will be too smol

[odd sparrow]

You get more of every type of enemy spawned in bigger groups so yes.

[candid gyro]

single stack yes, double stack not really

you can still take cover from behind double stack boxes mostly even as a tall char if you crouch while looking straight down so your char model is bent

[serene latch]

it's missing the defences

for the curious

iirc it has the shooter one

but the table has no such info

[glacial star]

Get a foot pedal for crouch. Slide all over the place

[normal nest]

Is the Limbsplitter blessing as bad as it sounds? First attack in a chain +20% power each attack after -20% power. Or is there a technique for using that blessing. I have it on a tactical axe if that makes a difference.

[normal nest]

I don't have issues with boxes with my vet and she is smol. In fact I tuck behind them pretty well. I do have issues with Ogryn butt blocking my shots. If I crouch I can shoot under their elbows. I don't know if being tall would help shooting around Ogryns. Can always run a plasma gun and shoot through.

[timid jackal]

block cancelling is afaik the only way to prevent the downsides from kicking in. It is REALLY bad.

[tepid skiff]

on a taxe it's not good, since you gotta hit often in most use cases. on a combat axe it's quite alright for a psyker, since with peril blocking he has tons of stamina to spare, and can pushstab all day, for which limbsplitter provides free 20% upgrade.

which is why a brutal momentum + limbsplitter antax mk5 is considered by some people to be the best psyker melee option.

[young comet]

Yeah actually. The push stab is a really nice wide sweeper

And it's got an excellent horizontal swipe that doesn't dip to a diagonal at all

[normal nest]

More block canceling 😞

[hollow flare]

is Sunder on Power Sword worth it?

[tepid skiff]

no. your cleave is already effectively infinite.

[hollow flare]

thats what i figured

bought it anyways just to have the blessing in the backpocket of my inventory

and im swimming in weekly credits anyways

[hidden burrow]

any way to perma turn off chats too much toxicity in random lobbies either entitled players who think the game revolves around them

[warm nebula]

Set voice volume to zero. I’m not sure exactly what the setting is called, but it’s a slider

At least we have private lobbies for 2-4 players…

[hallow mica]

ive gotten 9 missions in a row that are all dreg, no scabs

how on earth do I find scab missions

[past shale]

[median cipher]

anyonr got pointers for completing Nothing but the Abyss penance? like weapons or best level to do it on? ive been trying to get it but cant quite reach the hp needed

[signal cipher]

Like genuinely? The worse I really ever see is people being nerds and typing the way their character would

Which honestly, I like seeing the effort to not be boring

[signal cipher]

I suggest a heavy sword with a crit build OR a well timed thunder hammer BONK on a boss

[fervent ridge]

This sounds pretty cute lol

[signal cipher]

Oh yeah it's swag I recommend trying it tbh

Makes using chat fun/funny

I'll take any excuse to yell cadia stands

Damn

Did me dirty with that reaction

[spice crane]

this is what i needed for my cadian zealot

[dapper robin]

too bad it's been delayed.

[spice crane]

[dapper robin]

There is a cadian outfit for veteran too

It'll probably come out along side this one

[spice crane]

yee i saw that

[dapper robin]

The cadian outfit will probably be the cheap set on the side you see.

Like the Cadian tanker set was.

the Tallarn Bonedigger will be the next big guardsmen set probably. I hope anyways.. I hope it's not that stupid fucking HIVE PIMP OUTFIT FOR THE VETERAN

I'm going to commit arson somewhere if they release that ugly ass hive pimp outfit next whenever they do update the shop

[dapper robin]

They also released a standalone helmet to match that zealot outfit I think, it has a mask too.

[spice crane]

maaan do i really wanna spend money on this game

[dapper robin]

I've done it. tbh I mean the cosmetic shop is honestly the most fair one I've ever seen in recent years.

No fomo, you can buy what you want whenever the fuck you want. And well prices are good too shrug

I'm totally buying that guardsmen zealot outfit when it comes out, tired of looking like a homeless preacher when I could look like a soldier. :l

[fervent ridge]

Homeless preacher lmao

[dapper robin]

sorry I mean homeless doomsayer

[signal cipher]

I'm looking forward to the cadian sets

[fathom kelp]

are kills shared between the party for penances, or individual

[high mesa]

Are there any tips or advice for completing the Just A Flesh Wound penance?

[tepid skiff]

individual for penances, group for melk contracts.

[tepid skiff]

low intensity chasm assassination is the fastest, in my experience. just gotta hack the computer at the market, the rest is just running through dudes.

[high mesa]

Thanks!

[dapper robin]

Me watching my 380 Base Stats primary weapon get the lowest fucking possible rolls on blessings and perks so it doesn't break the 500 item level cap.

[tepid skiff]

yeah, it's mediocre. but it has one awesome blessing, so at some point, when the crafting is released, you'll definitely be able to improve it.

[dapper robin]

With my luck as you can see already crafting will take 2 months to be released, and you won't be able to upgrade the blessing %s

https://tenor.com/view/incomprehensible-rage-rage-cat-angry-red-filter-gif-26249186

[toxic marsh]

I am guessing I should wait to finish one character before I make another?

[tepid skiff]

no, by all means, do all at once.

it's just that everything is separate per character. inventory, resources, money, melk coins, etc.

so each time you'll be starting from nothing.

[median cipher]

thanks for the tip, ill have to gind a good hsword/thammer. for the best result would heavy attacks be best when its activated? ive tried a tac axe and my go to devil claw and can almost get there with just lights

[tepid skiff]

a single charged heavy attack on a boss is all it takes. no ifs, no buts. just 2 clicks and it's done.

with a thammer, of course.

[median cipher]

you have saved my life friend

[fervent ridge]

Thank you Fils

Heresy looks like the sweet spot

[tepid skiff]

not quite correct, some malice maps can yield up to 185.

also, for heresy to be the sweet spot you gotta have a decent premade team. otherwise you'll lose maps from time to time, which will slow down the income significantly.

diamantine will keep accumulating even from malice play.

[zinc lichen]

Just discovered these can be used to move the reticule on the mission terminal lol

[hoary tide]

i seem to have a problem where the game's environment is completely pitch black. i am only able to see name's of other players' character but nothing else.

i will try restarting the game, if that does not fix this idk what will since i already set the environment texture settings to low...

[fervent ridge]

Have you tried changing the ingame brightness?

It's that slider with the Aquilas

you can change it till shit gets brighter and the Aquila becomes visible

[hoary tide]

nope i changed it to max now and i still cant see anything, looks like something has to be wrong with how the game renders things since i see and can use the UI interfaces (including the player nametags), the actual terrain and overall models are literally impossible to see even in character selection menu...

where can i put a bug report in case this is a problem with the game and not my computer btw?

[warm nebula]

“Verify integrity of game files”, check for GPU driver update…

[hoary tide]

hmm will check now, thx for reminder!

[warm nebula]

I wish there was memtest for vram…

[hoary tide]

ok so i am currently verifying the integrity of game files, after that i will relaunch the game and check TaskManager once i am at the character selection.

[warm nebula]

Nvidia graphics card? There was a recent driver update, I installed a new one last night

Hol up, “[EU]”…. I installed the driver 18 hours ago

[hoary tide]

ohhh ok, guess ive gotta do the same thing actually, since i think i have an Nvidia as well...

[warm nebula]

Highly recommend restarting your computer after a GPU driver update

[young comet]

How is this for a MG XII?

[fluid flare]

I SWEAR THEY BUFFED HADRON

LET'S FUCKING GO

[hollow flare]

not a fan of Infernus and you obviously want to reroll +stamina but the rest is really good

ammo is not the greatest either but the XII is really ammo efficient to begin with

[pearl kayak]

Good offensive stats, very poor ammo (ammo pickups are based on your total ammo as I understand it, so you get less out of them on top of a smaller reserve), good perks if you reroll stamina, absolute dog blessings for the xii. Falter adds no damage, and infernus is awful on high damage, low fire rate guns.

[young comet]

What are some good blessings for the XII for reference?

[hollow flare]

Opening Salvo is if your click speed is taht of an old grandma

i run headhunter + deadly accurate

[young comet]

I feel like Opening may not be that bad since it's a slower weapon that generally 1-2 shots specialist tho no?

[hollow flare]

Falter is actually really good if you run it with No Respite

i just land accurate followupshots alot faster than my kantraels recoil resets

so opening is kinda lost on me

[young comet]

Hmmm I suppose at higher difficulties when you are 1-2 shots and then 1-2 shots but the first is slightly better it is kinda meh

[hollow flare]

a salvo is "until your weapons recoil has properly reset"

so if you shoot faster than your recoil resets you never leave the "first" salvo

i think opening salvo is only really worth it on the guns that have really fast recoil reset

[young comet]

Right, so if you are two tapping and opening doesn't kill it outright then you're still just two tapping with a slightly better start

[hollow flare]

that aswell

[young comet]

I imagine Headhunters too but they don't do as well as other weapons to me in general

[hollow flare]

i mean if opening salvo would actually give me a breakpoint it might be worth considering, but then i would still have to let me recoil settle in between reaquiring targets

which is a net time to kill loss for me

the vraks mkIII headhunter (the 3bullet burst) you can probably make work

[young comet]

Yeah it would have to kill and then reset before the next kill for it to be a good pick

I probs will pass on splurging my sour milk coins and wait until another shows up then

[hollow flare]

and since ammo is almost a non issue with the kant XII i dont mind having to even take one more shot potentially to kill stuff while still being able to kill as fast if not even faster

because i dont have to wait for recoil reset

[kindred raft]

Are there any tips people have for the Make Every Shot Count penance beyond using a plasma gun or revolver?

[young comet]

Oh yeah. Main reason I am married to the MG XII as my dmr-style weapon is because you have a blank check for your reserves and clip

[young comet]

Shotgun I heard is really easy too

[kindred raft]

Gotcha

[young comet]

And then you just never pick up ammo if I recall

[kindred raft]

I also heard that bonus ammo from Vet perks don't count, do you know if that's true?

[hollow flare]

no idea ... when i did it i just made sure to shoot my last bullet into some poor sod without killing it before i entered the escape pod

[young comet]

Unsure and as they fix more bugs I wouldn't rely on it

The "Just a Flesh Wound" penance also had some bugs where you didn't need to finish the complete mission but that was patched even a while back, so I'd play it safer than sorry. Especially if you are bringing weapons to complete the penance that you otherwise don't want to/like to use

[kindred raft]

Thanks for the advice 👍

[dapper robin]

I can't wait for the Guardsmen outfit for zealot they have made to be released. 😦

[young comet]

Wait we can larp as a Guardsman as a Zealot?? (one day)

[dapper robin]

yeah swigs

Ooooooooo

[dapper robin]

has a separate helmet too that will cost you a little extra but it comes with a facemask

Aaah I love a good rebreather

[zinc lichen]

Looks like some wasteland gear

[dapper robin]

It's probably going to be released along side the Tallarn Bonediggers outfit for Veteran

[feral gust]

has the intensity increased on each level(over last few days)? or is it just me

• I used to run in like a marvel avenger.
• now I have to peek around like some pet during a fireworks display

no ? no one else feels the change?
am I going nuts?

[viral rover]

Haven't played in a few days if you are doing damnation, hiding from bullets is normal

[plain berry]

Why are headhunter auto guns so shit?

[tepid skiff]

the blue one is decent. but yeah, they underperform.

they have disappointingly low maniac dps.

[dapper robin]

Why is the performance optimization so shit 😦

I'm not running a bleeding edge cpu but like sometimes I'm in a horde of like 30 enemies chopping them up in melee combat

And then turn around to walk back to my team and that walk gives me lower fps than the bloody mess I was just in

[feral steeple]

So when are we getting new maps or content? General chats just chatting nonsense

[tepid skiff]

no info, but not soon.

maybe in march? april? thereabout.

[feral steeple]

Bummer, them steamcharts keep looking worse and worse

[tepid skiff]

that's what you get for going on vacation for a months after the launch with no features.

[tepid skiff]

dunno about the last few days, but just had a map after the patch, high intensity heresy, and it was somehow messier than usual, so you may be on to something.

[rain steppe]

How do i beat the ingame store?

any strats for it please let me know

[tepid skiff]

that's the easiest part of the game, thankfully. largely because it's not made by fatsharks.

install web extension, and just check browser every hour.

done. you're fully enjoying the entirety of the endgame without even having to launch the game.

[serene latch]

it's like 50% down every 2 weeks or something

[naive remnant]

My shovel is 385 base now? Did the cap go up?

[warm nebula]

Add up the percentages. Still = 380

[naive remnant]

Wack

[warm nebula]

It’s a visual bug, I’ve seen it happen when I upgrade stuff at Hadron’s bench

[naive remnant]

that was a reward, not upgraded. strange

[warm nebula]

Could be some inaccurate rounding too

[feral gust]

photoshop?

[naive remnant]

nope

visual glitch like in the hadron shop

[ornate compass]

300+ Hrs in I discovered that you can reorganize your inventory by opening it and pressing “O”

[fervent ridge]

WHAT

[violet flicker]

wtf

[hazy palm]

This game has many secrets Ed boy

[dapper robin]

What does

this setting actually do ingame?

I'm cpu bound so I'm trying to lower cpu load.

And second question, what is this setting measuring time in?

Like it says 15, 15 seconds?

[fervent ridge]

15

[warm crypt]

what do these icons under missions mean?

[ornate compass]

It really oughta be under pins but those symbols denote the highest difficulty you’ve completed that mission on.

[warm crypt]

thanksb

[arctic zephyr]

does the power rating even matter

[fervent ridge]

Yes on the Paul

[arctic zephyr]

no like the rating number

[arctic zephyr]

like how this is 515

[grand flint]

so what exactly did they do to the thunder hammer, I head it got a huge damage buff

also heresy feels a bit rougher but I didn't hear anything about difficulty changes

[hollow geyser]

Balance tweak Crucis Mk II Thunder Hammer
Increase light attack baseline armor mod vs Flak Armor (from 75% to 90%) and Carapace armor (from 1% to 25%)
Increase heavy attack baseline armor mod vs Flak Armor (from 75% to 90%) and Carapace armor (from 20% to 25%)

[grand flint]

that explains it

what about the difficulty? heresy isn't too hard now but it doesn't feel easy like it did before the patch

feels just right

[candid gyro]

only general thing was gun lines were made easier to suppress

[fervent ridge]

Found a cute lil spot on the Servitor Colony - Excise Vault sandmap where you can hold BoN aggro and play ring round the rosies with it for a while

Might be useful tech for you guys if you wanna have a lil fun handling it

[little coyote]

https://gfycat.com/plaintiveearnesthamadryas

[kindred raft]

The big power rating up there does matter a little, but only as a quick summary. For the most part it’s sort of like a general indicator, but looking at the actual stats and blessings is much more useful.

[fierce osprey]

@grand flint besides the armor pen buff they fixed power so it effects cleave and stagger so with the right blessing like thrust Thammer (and heavy sword) cleave and stagger a ton more

For hsword it’s headtaker

[spring needle]

Is there a guide to the Plasma gun anywhere?

[tepid skiff]

none that i've seen. but it's not rocket science. just remember to never shoot altfire on high heat, and that's about it.

[viral rover]

use the base fire, charging isnt worth

[tepid skiff]

almost never, ye.

i love plasma gun dearly, it's probably my most played vet gun, but compared to things like k12, mk1 iag, or agri braced it is really limited, unfortunately.

with those guns you can use a single continous ult to clear however screenfuls of shooters game wants to throw at ya. they'll just keep coming and instantly dying.

a plasma gun, even with careful underventing, will take a while to do that.

[fiery vigil]

the above guns also clear elites and specials better than the plasma

that's really the problem with it

it doesn't actually do what it specialises in better than guns that don't cripple themselves in every other area

[tepid skiff]

that's your opinion, which differs from my experience.

[fiery vigil]

consider that the mk1 IAG 2taps a trapper in the head

oh wait were you the guy who was saying the 3burst headhunter had similar TTK to the mk1 IAG

yeah ok nevermind

[tepid skiff]

exactly. we all know the value of your opinions.

[wary halo]

how in the hell does damage work in this game

[tepid skiff]

it's the 'first target' bar. it multiplies everything, including displayed damage, by a specific number.

but, as the name suggests, only for the first target hit.

[feral gust]

BennyHill Music.

Need to clarify Toughness Regeneration Bonus in Curio

1. when does it 'kick in' ? coherence? psyker-quell? just-passive?
2. what is the toughness-regen-bug. It's fixed now right?

[tepid skiff]

1. as far as i'm aware, coherence only, but that does stack with lynchpin ogryn feat.
2. yes, as of this week it's fixed, and, in fact, made quite powerful. arguably, one of the strongest curio mods.

[feral gust]

I have good levels of Toughness Regen atm.
But sometimes I notice 'health' chip-damange: do some weapons do Health Damage that bypass toughness?
(I should notice .. but in the panic of battle, I don't notice things)

[tepid skiff]

nothing specific. i mean, any melee attack does, if you're not at 100% toughness, so getting hit twice in a short time will get you chipped.

also dog pounce applies instant 1 health damage to everyone close by.

but in vast majority of cases health chipping is due to 2+ melee dudes hitting in unison.

[feral gust]

fall damage bypasses toughness. but you say dog-pounce AOE too
do you think barrels do too?

[tepid skiff]

oh, right. barrel splosions too.

[feral gust]

That makes sense now.. penance runs where I was v. v. v. careful not to get health damage, I tried to keep toughness topped up. (but kept noticing health chip)

I guess it might be knock-back of any sorts.. fall damage. barrels, dog-pounce, mutie maybe?
I got knocked back when a mutie jumped off the top ledge on top of me (I was standing close to ForceSword it - but noticed push-back as it landed)

[tepid skiff]

no, mutie slam into the wall does nothing at all. only when he has the space to triple-dunk.

i'm pretty sure that pushback to clear space for climbing specials doesn't do any damage whatsoever.

[feral gust]

today mutie and snipers tried to destroty my pennance run.

1. joined game, spawn in middle of fight, mutie threw me through a wall .. through a map .. instadeath(falling falling falling).
2. sniper shot me off ledge (had resistance but was hanging on ledge)... ... .. but sniper proceeded to shoot me anothre 3 times while I was hanging there.

[tepid skiff]

as in, 15-in-a-row penance?

[feral gust]

yup

[tepid skiff]

damn. that's gotta hurt.

[feral gust]

It's okay... I'm 3 away again.

I might take a break for today .. tired.. don't wan tto make mistake.

[tepid skiff]

right. slow and steady.

[warped flint]

Forgot, for grimoires to count for melk's quests do you need to collect 2/2 for it to count?

For scriptures I think it doesn't matter?

[fervent ridge]

It all doesn't matter

1 grim per run is fine

1 scrip per run is fine too

You don't need to hit the cap for it to count towards contracts

If they made it that way grim runs would be incredibly punishing to do

[deft meteor]

Do enemy types overlap? Like are infested enemies also considered unarmoured enemies? Is a scab flamer considered both flak armoured and a maniac? Etc.

[dapper robin]

Anyone know?

[strong echo]

This is a straight up upgrade right?

[jade flint]

Anyone available to help me with a penence to knock over 6 bulwarks at the same time?

[agile elbow]

low stopping power which is kinda sad

also both are different variants so up to your preference

i dont really play with headhunter so idk

[strong echo]

as a veteran often stopping power doesn't matter too much cause active ability kills the bigguns quickly

[agile elbow]

Id say depends on the weapon. Cause weapons like the lasgun 12 can hit a one shot breakpoint against all shooters with high stopping power and decent damage

and even if it doesnt but is close, you can roll a flak armor damage perk

so one shots without the use of volley fire

[strong echo]

sure I have other guns for other usages like lasgun, charge gun, shotgun, plasma gun

shotgun has the best stopping power, plasma gun has the best killing power

[agile elbow]

stopping power? Like stagger/suppression?

also the breakpoints do matter quite a bit when we talk about weapon stats. For example, you can use the plasma gun to kill ogryns and maulers yes but its efficiency does matter

higher damage (78% - 80%?) on plasma allows you to hit the breakpoint of one shotting ogryns with full charge headshot (i forgot about carapace for crushers i think it takes 2 or something)

but that might not happen if your stats are moved around

[tepid skiff]

green headhunter is one of the worst guns in the game. you can run it yourself to make sure, but don't spend melk coins for it.

i mean the one that's agri pattern. both vraks hh guns, light and heavy, are somewhat alright. not as good as infantry autoguns, but workable.

[feral gust]

Yet another self-confident opinionated piece:
But at least it gives a talking point.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_Mjf7lj8Uo

And for it's part, it brought a couple of guns I had totally forgotten about back into perspective

[serene latch]

why do enemies look so tall?

did he made a really small character

he put Purge into B Tier, man knows nothing about the game

[ocean cobalt]

as someone with a smol vet, yes he did

[haughty pelican]

Has it been determined how to increase stat rating on items in the shop? For example in VT2 I open a box with a PL 150 item, next box I open would have a higher chance at 151, 152 etc.

Should I be purchasing high stat rating gear from the shop in hopes of when the shop resets next everything will go up?

[cyan wind]

is heresy bugged? feels like way more mobs than usual

[feral gust]

It's self-confident and opinionated.. still it's a starting point.

[feral gust]

heresy AND malice.
I thnk they're rebalancing/nerfing .. but using a 'slow-drift'
I'm wondering if they're using game-tier populations to rebalance:

• eg: if three's a high amount in heresy, they increase elites , one-tick-a-day

[cyan wind]

not sure what that means, but glad to know others are noticing it too

[proven dune]

How tf did he put Purg into B tier

[odd sparrow]

Hit level 30 then Pray to the God emperor and use a shop checker

[haughty pelican]

I was afraid of that lol

[proven dune]

Did someone ping me here?

[fluid flare]

we've been laughing about his tierlist in ogrynchat as well

[dapper robin]

Fuck is a shop checker?

https://youtu.be/zEObZryjQ0I

Does anyone run Darktide on a 3060ti

Can they confirm it’s this smooth normally?

I have a 3060ti but im cpu bottlenecked on my 8700k so I can’t really tell.. that’s the first recent video I found of Darktide gameplay on a 3060ti

I plan to upgrade from my i7-8700k to either a 5800x3d or a 7000series x3d chip so I’m hoping that’ll resolve my performance issues in Darktide..

[odd sparrow]

A browser extension that let's you check the shop with out opening the game.

[dapper robin]

WHAT??? Link pls!??

[wintry void]

darkmass.gg -> right upper corner -> shop checker

Quick question - are blessing completely random? Are they any conditions to meet to got higher level of blessings with Hadron? After 180+h I saw that only guns with better levels of blessings are from Emperor or Melk... Is there any method or I've got bad luck with Hadron?

[odd sparrow]

Nope you just got to pray he sometimes has some.

My best weapon was on my zealot and it's near perfect

Emperor gave me a combat axe 5 with ignore body mass

[wintry void]

Thanks. So we need to wait for crafting system then. Maybe then I will be able to create perfect Evi or Thammer

[odd sparrow]

He also gave me about 40 head hunter auto guns

[gilded cove]

If you have a 3060, the GPU isn't your problem.

[heavy shuttle]

After some decent testing, the toughness regen speed -after- fix is a very solid option for veteran.

[candid gyro]

it's good for everyone, almost expecting them to nerf it in some capacity

[dapper robin]

3060ti yeah I know my cpu is my problem it's an i7-8700k

[dapper robin]

How do I use darkmass.gg?

What is my account ID? and a refresh token?

I just figured out the new shop checker and guess what I foundddd

finally a level 500 melee weapon for my Zealot, and it's one of the ones I like. an Tigris Heavy Evis

[marsh harness]

aye is this the channel i use to find people to play?

[dapper robin]

I'd use an LFG channel for that Treyken

[dapper robin]

FUCK dude I can't afford it

Why does Melk's shop have to be so ass you get 1 set of weekly missions that'll give you like around 2500 tokens at most.

Anything good he sells costs around 2800 to 3000

Bless the omnissiah I was able to roll my current Eviscerator into 500+

[fervent ridge]

Nice blessing yo

[dapper robin]

yeah I'm very happy with it

means I can run crit zealot without needing a knife really.

[lone creek]

Thats a lovely sword

Angron's Letter Opener

[dapper robin]

Goes well with my bolter I'm running on zealot.

[lone creek]

I'm about to try my first bolter game, I also use tigrus!

[dapper robin]

Trying to get my main classes to have 500+ gear so all I was able to get on my zealot was a bolter and that sword so far lol.

This is my zealots bolter I use with the tigris

[lone creek]

It's beautiful

Bolter was fun be we had zero wave clear without my flamer

Playing Heresy quickplay it's brutal

[dapper robin]

I play heresy quickplay all the time your biggest enemy is your teammates.

I always get one teammate who's just dumber than a bag of rocks.

[lone creek]

I cant tell if I'm the problem haha

Played a lot of VT & VT2 but the AI director seems off the rails in this

Just goes from 0-1000

There is always 1 team mate who manages to get zoned and kill

[dapper robin]

no yeah the AI director is fucked tbh but it's still doable if you're smart.

I had a match where a beast of nurgle spawned and literally as soon as we entered the next room a beast of nurgle spawned.

[lone creek]

I found it a lot easier on Ogryn cause you can pick people up way easier

[lone creek]

Is Abhor the Mutant bugged for chainsword/tigrus? I've killed like 15 mutants as we were both charging and I don't have it.

[tepid skiff]

depends on what you consider bugged. it doesn't work, yes, but it's quite by design. also requirements description is crap. mutie doesn't have to be charging, you do.

and the attack (and, correspondingly, the target death) gotta happen during your charge, not after.

[lone creek]

It just doesn't seem to be proccing

[tepid skiff]

so it's easiest to do with a combat axe or a thammer.

[lone creek]

I wonder if the delay of the chainsword heavy is registering it as after the charge?

[tepid skiff]

chain weapons stick to the target during the charge, but by the time mutie died charge is long gone.

[lone creek]

Makes sense

Thank you!

I don't suppose you also know what the dark square missing from Until Death is? It wasn't on cooldown.

[tepid skiff]

dunno, it's been like that since release.

so perfectly normal.

[lone creek]

Ah sweet thanks

[fervent ridge]

The most common explanation I keep hearing is a shark took a bite out of it

[lone creek]

Yeah that was the response I got when I asked the Zealot chat lol

[fervent ridge]

Truly the most helpful lot

It kind of bothers me but maybe I'll find out what is really going on with that dark square one day

[lone creek]

Maybe in the final Siege of Terra book

[tepid skiff]

obviously this square is a background for a numerical inlay. but the number of whats?

it's a rhetorical question.

[lone creek]

I wonder if there was initially gonna be a perk that gave it charges.

Apologies for answering your rhetorical question haha

[fervent ridge]

Number of zealots with benediction/ the passive dr aura in the team?

So that it stacks x number of times?

If you thought what I just said sounds silly I agree

[lone creek]

I'm two months behind on the bugs/meme so nothing sounds silly to me yet

[heavy shuttle]

The veteran first feat 'passive' called At Arms Length also has a missing block on the icon. I do know that when the required criteria is not met, the entire icon darkens to the same shade as the missing block. Perhaps it is meant to give the difference between procced vs un procced.

[raven crystal]

So the missions at Sire Melk : when you go to the mission menu in his "shop" it only shows available missions to replace your current mission.

QUESTION : So where do you see your CURRENT Sire Melk mission? Or did the devs forget to put that very obvious feature in the game?

[fervent ridge]

There's a progress bar to fill up which if you hover over will show your completion level of it

Click on the contracts, number will appear

[raven crystal]

that doesn't answer my question

you can see all the available contracts

you can see a progress bar that shows NOTHING if you over the mouse over it

I want to know the CURRRENT mission I selected since it says to play a level HL-***** or some nonsense I can't remember

so it is common sense to put a "current mission" listing in that screen, so if it is not there? then where is it? please read the question correctly

[neat jacinth]

On the right side of the screen?

[fervent ridge]

I assumes that's what he's asking but he said no lol

[raven crystal]

that only shows what will replace the current if you click "REPLACE"

[neat jacinth]

No it doesn't

[raven crystal]

yes it does

[neat jacinth]

The replacement is random

[raven crystal]

click on any on that list and it will pick that one and replace your current

[neat jacinth]

No it doesn't.

[raven crystal]

so I want to know my current mission

[fervent ridge]

It says so right there

lol

[tepid skiff]

you are seriously misunderstanding the UI. listen to what everyone else is saying.

[fervent ridge]

Pick up 5 grimoires

That is your current mission

[raven crystal]

fine I will screenshot prove you wrong

[neat jacinth]

All of those contracts you see on the left are active.

[tepid skiff]

yes.

[neat jacinth]

If you click on one and select "Replace Task", you replace it with a random contract

[raven crystal]

oh now this should mean that my current mission is 500 scabs right?

[neat jacinth]

Yes.

One of your current 5 active contracts

[tepid skiff]

the one currently selected with a yellow frame, yes.

[raven crystal]

oh wait now magically it is not that

if you click on a available contact it shows a preview, it doesn'tmake it ac tive or current

that is what I'm on about

[neat jacinth]

All the contracts on the left are active.

[raven crystal]

then why does it say "replace task" doesn't that mean you aree picking a task?

[neat jacinth]

Clicking on one selects it, allowing you to view the specific completion value and replace it with a new, random, contract.

You don't get to pick a task, you get to replace your current tasks with a random one.

[raven crystal]

then the UI should be more specific

[fervent ridge]

Active or current doesnt matter, ghulda, since you do not need to select a contract before a game to have it register in sire melks, you can simply go play any games and if you fulfill any of the conditions in the game like scrips or grims that happens to be a part of your weeklies the game will automatically update it for you

[neat jacinth]

You are literally the first person I've seen misinterpreting it this way

[raven crystal]

most games do it the way I explained so easy to see the confusion

wording is everythning

[neat jacinth]

Mainly because it's somewhat obvious that all the contracts on the left are active once you start playing, they all progress.

Now, datamining does indicate that contract selection is being worked on (or was), so the UI might change in the future.

[raven crystal]

the confusion came in "Contract" not Contracts plural

[fervent ridge]

Glad we could clear things up

[neat jacinth]

Yeah, FS' grasp of English is far from perfect, at least in the UI elements.

I guess the idea is that the "Weekly Contract" consists of 5 "Tasks", but everyone calls them contracts anyway.

[raven crystal]

good point, sharks are known for their love of swimming and eating, not word play

[neat jacinth]

I'll be honest, I don't think I've ever even looked at that part of the UI

[vague drum]

hi guys, i got several questions;
-when crafting, what are the resources used, i only see icons what is what?
-this task, there's no way i'm going to complete it am i? I need to get lucky for it to appear in the mission list, then be lucky that it has the 2ndary objectives active, then complete ALL of that objective?

[tepid skiff]

1. square is diamantine, cylinders is plasteel. they look about the same on mission.
2. correct on all points. this is the worst contract, reroll it.

[vague drum]

1.aha thanks, those resources are to be gotten in missions then? can i farm them?
2. yeah i got that one on a reroll 😦

[tepid skiff]

you find those resources just laying around in all corners and yellow crates on the map itself. it's not a guaranteed drop.

they spawn in larger quantities on higher difficulties, especially diamantine. if you want to speed up their farm, just play the game as usual, but also learn to quickly check all the side passages for drops. otherwise you'll miss like half of the amount.

every bit you pick up counts for the whole team.

[vague drum]

thanks

[hybrid geyser]

Having a hard time deciding: should I consecrate my last curio or the rifle I've been favoring first? I assume the curio since it will never be swapped out.

Just trying to maximize value here since a lot of curio blessings are trash

[lone creek]

Any tips for dealer with groups of Scab Ragers as Zealot? I'm using the Thunder Hammer but they just seem to overwhelm my pushes and sweeps.

My push doesn't stagger them

[lone creek]

I got it! Charged it with a my heavy already building up on the Eviscerator as he was slamming a team mate. Didn't rev the chainsaw.

[tepid skiff]

ah, so the lack of rev was key then.

to kill 'im instantly. nice, gratz.

[lone creek]

I think so, just the luck of the dice your ranged mates have got them low enough. Glad it's done haha. Thanks for the help.

[tepid skiff]

ragers are extremely unpleasant in melee, regardless of your weapon. i think that with thammer your best bet is to backdodge while prepping the charged strike, then blast him with the light attack. it does less damage, but it's faster, and it bonks him straight down, much less likely to catch a stray zombie instead. it won't kill him in one shot, but should stun him for long enough to follow up with whatever.

hmm. ramped up heavies might knock them down too, then it's not a problem either way.

but it might depend on what feats and blessings you use.

[dire prism]

How do people seem to dodge with like no effort constantly

I spam ASD and spacebar and I just end up bunny hopping after 1 dodge and get messed up

Meanwhile my teammates are just strafe sliding around in circles like figure skaters its crazy

[lone creek]

Yeah I think my sweeps were getting caught, seems a bit easier with the Evis. Glad to hear they are unpleasant for everyone I thought I was missing something fundamental!

[tepid skiff]

for starters, i'd recommend binding jump and dodge to different buttons. also dodge efficiency is largely dependant on the weapon. the heavier it is, the fewer dodges you can make in a row, and the shorter each one is.

[dire prism]

Oh thats a great idea didn't think of that

[lone creek]

I read some Damnation player in here saying to put crouch and dodge on the same button. I did that and now I feel much more mobile.

[tepid skiff]

dodge sliding also works, but i'm not sure about forcing it by double bind. might be better to leave it separate and use when necessary.

[lone creek]

I was wondering if there were drawbacks

[tribal karma]

I'm going to test this now

[lone creek]

I just took the advice at face value

I have them both on Ctrl with hold to crouch

[dire prism]

For now I just moved jump to B and put on the option for stationary dodge

[tepid skiff]

it takes longer to perform and throws your vertical aim off. i dodge all the time during melee, like side to side between swings, to avoid retaliation. and it's seamless, doesn't break attack chains. adding a slide to that would be quite excessive. but more sweaty and progamey people might have a different opinion, sure enough.

[lone creek]

That make sense tbf

[tepid skiff]

dodge-slide is a way to gain distance instantly, to reposition. but for mid-brawl technique i don't think it's worth it.

[fervent ridge]

Others have covered keybinds and mechanics of dodging so I'll cover how I approach it mentally playing with a dodgeheavy playstyle in hi5

Imagine the enem(ies) you're fighting is the central pivot and you are basically spinning around them like a rotorblade, visualize that you have to keep the same distance away from that centre at all times and you're always X distance continuing to rotate relative to that imaginary centre, alternatively just think of the marching footwork where you can either put your left foot forward or your right foot forward but not both and this can help you establish an internal rhythm

[tribal karma]

Just tried it not really too good tbh

[fervent ridge]

Left, right, left, right ad infinitum

[lone creek]

I take it due to what Zuzuzu said?

[tepid skiff]

also try not to dodge too often too fast. you'll exhaust dodge limit of your weapon and gonna have to take some time to cool down. i think it's like a couple of seconds.

maybe that is compounding your problems? dunno.

[tribal karma]

yeah

[fathom imp]

is there such a Curio that grants 2 wounds?

[tepid skiff]

nope.

but thankfully it's never needed. you only take at most 1 would curio to get back to 3 total at heresy+.

and even that is not necessary, depending on class and preference.

[lone creek]

I just hit Level 30 but I don't have much in the way of gear. I take it I can't really do the knife crit zealot build with feats alone until I roll the right perks for bleed and crits?

[fervent ridge]

Yea you need Lacerate for bleed playstyle

[lone creek]

I figured!

I'll stick to my Tigurs and Revolver for the foreseeable I guess!

My purple knife has Mercy Killer so might get lucky when I consecrate it

[tepid skiff]

the knife playstyle is flashy and super fast, and extremely durable while the crit protection is up, but kinda pointless because it doesn't kill that much. evi, on the other hand, kills amazingly well. especially with any sort of cleave blessing.

so it's more of a novelty and a workout for the left mouse finger rather than a serious tryhard build.

[lone creek]

Yeah I notice when I tried it in the Meat Grinder there lol

200 hits to kill anything

[tepid skiff]

knife has an insane headshot and crit multipliers, so it has some potential, and it works good against some targets, especially with bleed. but it can't really compare to actual horde clear weapons.

but its main selling point is mobility.

[lone creek]

Makes sense yeah

[frail forge]

Any tips for Heavyweight champion pens?

[iron dirge]

what would you guys say is the strongest class?

[warm nebula]

Ogryn is strongest!

[tepid skiff]

technically, undeniably correct.

[tepid skiff]

it's the worst penance in the game. you really need a premade team and a high intensity map, ideally damnation, where y'all will clear most enemies but leave ogryns alive, and kite them towards the next encounter in hopes of accumulating 6 dudes total.

[lofty crystal]

wait, did fatshark just nerfed the steam achievements?

i'm sure the gone bowling required rushing over 100 enemies instead of 70, and the cliffhanger required to push 20 enemies off instead of 7

oh and the dream team / flawless execution have counters now

[neat jacinth]

There were a bunch of changes inbetween pre-order beta and release

[tepid skiff]

so they got around to fixing a steam part of that, at last.

[lofty crystal]

im pretty sure some days ago the achievements were different...

[neat jacinth]

Maybe on Steam, but the ingame penances were changed on release

[dire prism]

Is it normal the in game menus in the mourningstar are kinda wonky

Like the shops and inventory sometimes just load a blank menu instead of item list

And when I'm rerolling perks it lags if I reroll a bunch in a row

[heavy shuttle]

Yes. It is very normal.

[tepid skiff]

all that data is stored not on your computer, but on fatshark servers. so it takes some time to fetch it.

[worn star]

What gear scores should one have before taking on level 2, 3 and 4 missions

[lean edge]

Gearscore doesn’t work the same way in this game, it’s more about player skill and your build, 2s aren’t that different from 1s, you can do it once you’re lvl 5 and get your first feat, 3s are fine by the time you’re 15 or so, but you should be 30 with a good understanding of your weapons before you try pushing 4s, the jump over 3s is significant

Like a 50% damage grey weapon with 200 gear score does the exact same damage as a 50% damage orange weapon with 500 gear score, all things being equal, the gear score just represents more stats, perks, and blessings, not raw power

[tepid skiff]

if you have at least some shooter, or better yet, vermintide experience, you can start with lvl 2 missions, without touching the first difficulty. at about lvl 15 you can maybe start trying diff 3, but it'll be largely a matter of getting carried by a couple of elder teammates. and 4 is viable only after the full build and extensive experience with combat mechanics.

[worn star]

I'm currently working on a lvl 13 Psyker, level 1's seemed too easy regardless of group comp, but the groups I've been in the last 5 missions, we've failed 4 of them. It's more then possible that I just suck at this, but on the same token, every time though, there's at least one person at like level 2 or 3 person in the group, and it seems like they are the ones who are going down a lot. Which causes me to die when I try go to revive them.

But from what I'm hearing its probably me... (sorry Taylor)

[tepid skiff]

ye, team component in darktide is very strong. your success depends heavily on performance of others, and that is something you can't control. might get frustrating at times.

[worn star]

Thanks for the info

[dire prism]

It helps a lot when you get more levels to unlock the full weapon list so you can try new things that might be better for your playstyle

[worn star]

Most of the time the unlocked stuff I'm looking for doesn't show up in the store for me to try LoL

[dire prism]

Sadly one of many hot topics for complaint lol

Especially for psyker when you get like one of each staff type you can really play around to see which one you like the most

[frigid ridge]

Just like the SP wow episode... Grind yourself to the nose bleed to finally play the game how you want... The exact same thing you grindet trough with shit gear

[tepid skiff]

all the pre-lvl-30 gear is shit by definition.

it's something just to get a feel for the moveset.

sometimes wrong feel, like with purga and trauma staves, that gets much better with high rolls.

or rapidfire weapons with high and low stability rolls.

[worn star]

I don't think I've seen purga staffs yet. What level do they show up?

[feral gust]

DemonHosts:

1. after they kill the first person, who do they target next?
   a) next nearest player?
   b) next nearest teammember (player/bot)?
   c) random?
2. How do you defend against a demonhost (if you're solo and not an ogryn/shield?)

[worn star]

As far as I know the number under primary action is the damage number for the primary attack (Default left click for mouse and keyboard) But I guess with that item your only doing 35% and 27% of that damage number based on the damage modifier

[rigid wasp]

1. one that deals the most damage, if can't determine it's closest in my experience
2. good mobility weapon, dodge & block and pray you have enough dps, otherwise let it kill 2 guys and go revive

[feral gust]

1. fk .. I should've stayed more discreet with my ForceSword spam
2. that would be a no - I would've taken on enough corruption just by being in melelee range (even as ogryn/shield)

[rigid wasp]

Corruption from dh caps at 50%

[feral gust]

2. Dodge/Block Demonhosts?!? sounds suicidal

[rigid wasp]

Fairly easy if you have knife or multiple dodges before getting on cooldown, otherwise you need to time your dodges with its swings

[feral gust]

I'll give it a shot. thaks

[rigid wasp]

Or you can just completely ignore the dh since it only gives a one time penance for killing it lmao

[feral gust]

I'm currently tryng to improve on Flawless (2), but at malice, people keep running from one encounter to another.

[tepid skiff]

wait, you still didn't make it last time, when you were 3 off?

[feral gust]

https://tenor.com/view/shaking-my-head-rubbing-hands-gif-15849334
Third attempt since then.

[tepid skiff]

damn, dude. that hurts.

[feral gust]

PUGs ... triigger happy PUGS

[tepid skiff]

i guess i'd just leave if they woken a dhost.

not sure it'll save a progress however.

[feral gust]

If you push aggressively in a game (massive damage, massive kills, short-delay) the game pushes back.
And we die.
So I know we're gonna die when I see players join and start doing 360degree slides approaching the encounter point.

Welp, there goes attempt 4. Only 6-streak this time. Only 2hrs.

Also - if they join late: they feel a need to 'make up/contribute/catchup' and push aggressively. (team formation get stretched as they push deep fast)

[mellow bone]

So one time the daemonhost killed 3 of us, which I didn't think it was allowed to do.

I was rescued mid encounter, so maybe it decided I didn't count 😒

[restive tulip]

What difficulty? I think they might take more victims on heresy+

otherwise yeah could be a funny rescue interaction

[tepid skiff]

no, still strictly 2 victims on damnation.

so yeah, likely the revive.

[fluid flare]

have never seen them take more than 2 people on damnation

[sweet salmon]

Yo

any north america players wanting to do penances at some point?

[misty yew]

Anyone know where I can find better ?

[tepid skiff]

pretty much anywhere.

there's no fast way to do it, but there is an easy way.

install shop web extension, and just monitor throughout the day when a good flamer comes up.

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/armoury-exchange/hcjihmkcnjkfkaeebhnpjcnnibpoolgc

[misty yew]

Ty

[misty yew]

Just found the one on the left from a mission

[slim wind]

Rookie here: Any tips for avoiding Daemonhosts? I've learned they're triggered and incredibly hard to put down before they incapacitate someone but don't know exactly triggers them. Except for I assume shooting them.

[warm nebula]

I think shining flashlights at them also wakes them up. To avoid them: listen for the creepy girl voice, look for a fog cloud and green area lighting

Helpful teammates may tag them yellow, or use the 👁️ tag

You can also listen for the character voice lines, but usually they lag behind the gameplay a bit

This is why you should not (in my opinion) double-bind “tag” and “primary attack”

Once you get more familiar with the levels, you will know the paths that go around them. Until then, you could try asking for directions for the safe bypass, and someone ought to drop a “Go There” tag

[slim wind]

Thank you very much 😀

[warm nebula]

Good luck, and from the treachery of possession, Emperor deliver you!

[vast loom]

does shooting bulwark's shield count as a miss for the Every Shot Counts penance?

[crude holly]

how does brutal momentum really work?

it pierces the horde in a straight line or wut

[odd sparrow]

Just to let you know only cloud, ammo and burn matter.
Damage does nothing but the initial 16 primary/secondary action damage and all damage x enemies only apply to the P/S action so it's worthless.

Burn stacks are the only thing that do real damage and they can't really be buffed

[heavy shuttle]

What are the two best blessings for the PS?

[misty yew]

Thx

Still looking for one with a higher burn

[young comet]

So I got this from the Melk Man (not bought yet) but I'm not sure about Blaze Away

[fervent ridge]

Blessings irrelevant on flamer, they're barely gonna affect combat, only Cloud Radius and Burn are significant wished they were both in the 70s

[young comet]

Appreciated. Melk Man finally busting out weapons I like usin' so needed to check

Still better than my current flamer so I think I'll pick it up for now. Maybe the rest of crafting will help me rearrange stats lol

[brazen marten]

yay or nay?

Blessings seem good to me but dunno

[deep rose]

That would make not want to use another weapon, like mine has deflect, I can't give that up. I haven't had rampage on that sword type, only on the chainsaw, sorry.

[brazen marten]

think I'll nab it, can afford and should be at 3k before the night is up

[tepid skiff]

yes, unfortunately.

[fervent ridge]

@ Evis users, I'm new to Evis and would love to learn the ropes, if you've got any tips on it for general use or specific enemies pls ping me or reply to this msg I'd much appreciate it

[tepid skiff]

heavy 1 is your main clear. to chain it, reset with push-stab. simple block cancel also works. or heavy-light loop for as long as you want. some sort of cleave buff is pretty much a necessity. that's it.

[fervent ridge]

Neat thanks

[wild rapids]

https://youtu.be/QSs0WTS4JIc 👍

[heavy shuttle]

Is the hotfix today making the toughness regen irrelevant again?

[uneven bough]

It's still easily the best stat on a curio

[neat jacinth]

Toughness regen got buffed, not irrelevant

[heavy shuttle]

I suppose I was one of the guys that had the tougness speed boost bug that got fixed. It felt like a nerf to me. Regardless I'll continue testing. So far for vet my studies have put BiS +toughness for blessing with perks: +%MaxHP, +%MaxToughness, +%ToughnessRegenSpeed... The third obviously being the 'still in testing' phase.

[heavy shuttle]

Those curios are stackable for best results. Scalable for 1-5 diff.

[uneven bough]

+90% higher toughness coherency regeneration and ~50% delay decrease is way more significant than what the alternatives offer

[heavy shuttle]

I believe the 'coherency' line was fixed in the last update. (not hotfix)

[uneven bough]

Not sure what you mean

I described how it works currently

[heavy shuttle]

Fixed issue where the ‘Toughness Regeneration Speed’ Curio only gave a bonus to the Toughness Regeneration delay of Coherency.
^ above exerp from patch notes

I'm refering to the benefits of +% tougness regen from feats.

[uneven bough]

What's wrong with the feats?

[heavy shuttle]

Fixed an issue where the Toughness Regeneration Speed from Curio bonuses incorrectly gave an extremely high regen speed.
Buffed the Toughness Regeneration Speed Curio values for all tiers.
^reference text

So from my understanding, feats that passively regenerate toughness such as 'At Arms Length' for vet benefit from the Tough Regen speed as well.

For reference

[uneven bough]

They function separately and aren't affected by these changes. That specific one may pause the regen you get from coherency though

I'm not entirely sure if everything works like this, but generally gaining toughness from other sources pauses the coherency regen

[heavy shuttle]

Hrm... I did not know that feat tough regen was not affected by the curio perk line. I do believe that drops the toughness regen curio perkline down the ranking considerably.

For the veteran, that is. Granted divergent playstyles such as combat shotgun and mid-close range weaponry can benefit from coherency. Backline support with the standard xii leaves the curio tough regen speed as situational at best.

Unless I am missing something which is completely plausible.

[uneven bough]

Not much reason to be far away from the team regardless of the class

[heavy shuttle]

For coherency to kick in, yes. The radius is insufficient for needed standoff range.

We're getting a little bit into 'playstyle' differences. But from my experiences the backline is not usually in the normal radius of coherency while conducting overwatch support.

With that being said, the toughness regen only affecting coherency drops the value substantially.

[slim wind]

Rookie question, is there friendly fire in this game? I've heard characters complain about it but I can't tell if they're actually being damaged.

[heavy shuttle]

No FF. Fire away

[hoary basalt]

how do i fix empty games

all i get is a game with 3 bots all week on damnation

is the game dead?

ah nvm guess it died
darktide lost 95%+ of its entire player base, but the chinese loot box shop works flawlessly
https://steamcharts.com/app/1361210#3m

[slim wind]

Ty

[heavy shuttle]

Are you queuing with randoms via matchmaking? If so, yes its going to be tough. However finding premade lvl 5 groups in the lfg channels here is quite easy. Ive never had a problem finding groups via discord

Matchmaking works generally well for 1-4s. 5's are premades domain for sure.

[brazen marten]

I swear i've seen FF ding toughness

[heavy shuttle]

In the closed beta I believe it did.

[slim wind]

I had a game last night with four players and four bots. Not complaining but that was weird.

[warm nebula]

The Valkyrie ride home must have been… awkward

[slim wind]

It only showed the four players, and the match ended when the four players got to the valkyrie and there were still bots on the field. It was strange. But easy.

[warm nebula]

Yes, the ending cutscene just doesn’t show it. Still…

Maybe one of the new mission modifiers could be “there’s some bots working with you”

The legendary second strike team

What was their code name?

[dapper robin]

I really hope they add the Zealot Guardsmen outfit soon..

I'm craving that fashion so bad

[warm nebula]

Best I can do is put it in the cash shop

[dapper robin]

Put what?

[warm nebula]

The outfits you want

[dapper robin]

Well yeah duh

it's a cash shop skin didn't you see it

[ocean cobalt]

How can you forget their name? Reclamation Strike Force Beta-5 is one of the best.

[warm nebula]

Oh, so their helmets are hand-me-downs to the early rejects?

Tallarn outfit also

Surprised that these future leaks didn't include a Krieg outfit still.

they really holding off on that big moneymaker of a skin

[ocean cobalt]

Tbf we have yet to see if these are official regimental outfit like Steel Legion or Moebians copying their style as usual

[slim wind]

Rookie question: When you get awarded a piece of wargear after a match, is that completely random?

Also can cosmetic items drop in this way?

[lone adder]

Sadly cosmetics dont drop in that way

[slim wind]

Thank you :)

[lone adder]

Ye no prob

[slim wind]

I got a torso cosmetic but I figures it was from reaching a certain level and not the mission.

[lone adder]

Yee

[tepid skiff]

technically it's from a specific penance. most cosmetics come from penances.

but yes, some of those penances are awarded for just leveling up.

more importantly, you can study other penances and see their conditions, to get more swag.

[clear cliff]

So I am looking for some help with a penance for the Veteran, the Overwatch one, which I haven't managed just yet to do, what loadout along with what team composition would you guys recommend?

[barren nymph]

Would this be good for my veteran sharpshooter ?

Right now I’m using this

[quiet ginkgo]

What is a flash mission?

[half fossil]

they haven't added those yet

[tepid skiff]

pretty much anything will be an upgrade over this, tbh.

this rashad axe isn't much better though.

[hot briar]

Windows key + Shift + S lets you clip a part of your screen to paste into chat

[quick remnant]

The datamines had Krieg stuff. But it seem to be variant of the armageddon set

[fathom imp]

I have a Lazgun that says it’s has 136/880 ammo in the inventory but in-game, I only have 136/136 max ammo.

Is this some sort of bug?

Or is some perk screwing me?

[quick remnant]

Could you take some screenshots ?

It does sound a lot like a bug though

[woven elk]

@fathom imp more because the game cant show over 1000 ammo

[fathom imp]

I only have 272 shots

[fathom imp]

I’m at work right now

[heavy shuttle]

sounds like a bug then.

[fathom imp]

I’ll make a report

[solid vortex]

Either use Anthax MK5 axes(Brutal Momentum), Power Sword(Power Cylcer, Supercharge) or Chain Sword (for Assasination missions, it destroys the shield pretty quick,with cleave bonus blessing its also pretty good at hordeclear) on Vet, thats my 2 cents

[hoary tide]

i have a problem regarding what i assume is about the shaders:

i had to swap my NVIDIA graphics card (do not remember the specific version) for an older one because my original one made too much noise, then i log into darktide and suddenly i realize that everything is literally pitch-black, but i can still load into the game...

how can i safely empty the shader cache to have the game rebuild it? i want to see if that fixes the problem. also i get absolutely no error messages so everything is fine on that part.

[warm nebula]

Wait for a new patch; the game rebuilds it after each one…

Consider using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller)

[hoary tide]

ok? how can i get that? just checked it, not sure if i dare install it...

[warm nebula]

I mean, it ain’t exactly what you would call first-party… but if you’re in the right place, it’s okay

It’s recommended for whenever you swap graphics cards anyway

You can look up tutorials for “upgrade graphics card”, and they should give you a pretty safe link to DDU

[solid vortex]

You can also revert your graphic card updates in the Device Manager, or on the NVIDIA Geforce Xperience application.

[vagrant spade]

How do you beat that stupid fk demon if you don't have a shield, I tried dodging with zealot and its hard

[warm nebula]

It’s not easy. It requires your teammates to coordinate too, and it helps to have more stamina (from curios) and mobility (on your melee weapon). I hear that dodging around cover and obstacles helps

But if your squad mates don’t pour on the DPS, it’s not gonna happen

[heavy shuttle]

Maximizing DPS among the three other players is critical. Obviously, me suggesting to leave the DH alone defeats the purpose of the question. But, if you have to fight a DH, your best chance is to trigger/attack the DH deliberately.

If the DH triggers off of a teammate's mistake the best thing to do is simply let that teammate die. If your group is not positioned in a way to maximize dps before that first targeted player is killed then the DH will attack a 2nd attacking party member potentially costing you half your group for one person's mistake.

From my experiences, (yes, I have accidently triggered a DH) if the DH is inadvertently pulled, I quickly inform my team to simply let me die and pick me up on along the way. This minimizes risk of a party wipe due to horde/specialist spawn during the DH fight or two teammates getting killed for the price of one.

However, if you're deliberately attacking the DH, try to make sure the surrounding area is clear of all other threats (horde/specialists/elites, etc) and clearly communicate who is initiating the DH fight. He that wakes it, tanks it. You've mentioned an ogyrn shield hunker tactic which is very effective. There is also the psyker blocking for peril tanking strategy that is also effective. Simply using the 5 D's of Dodgeball can work as well however it is much more difficult to scoot around the DH as opposed to a Plague Ogryn or Beast of Nurgle.

There are definitely more techniques for the DH than the few I've listed above. Hope this helps 🙂

P.S. Turn your vet's flashlight off

[vagrant spade]

Thanks I only play quickplay and usually its the randoms that trigger it, i saw someone post a video of dodging the DH's attack so I wanted to try it out and its actually hard dodging it. Maybe I'll practice dodging it more in the future but that guy made it look easier than it really is

[heavy shuttle]

Oh randos triggered it? Let that mofo learn his lesson. Let him die.

Fighting DH's in 4's/5's difficulty isn't really a thing. Its not a skill that is a match-breaker.

[vagrant spade]

Normally I would but I don't like things that are almost unkillable in games

[heavy shuttle]

I wouldn't say its 'unkillable' but most certainly created to punish unaware players. The strongest tool in the DH's toolbox is that of surprise. A prepared group handles the DH with high success rates.

[vagrant spade]

lol well with randoms the only thing you can rely on is yourself thanks for the feedback though

[bleak ore]

How do you get the mortis oprative stuff?

[heavy shuttle]

Imperial Edition via steam store.

[marsh talon]

What is a good way to find a group that can help get a tough penance, like "Just a flesh wound" for zealot?

[heavy shuttle]

Post an advert in the LFG section stating what you're looking for help for has always worked for me in the past.

[fervent ridge]

DH attack pattern is very simple with almost 0 variation

Position DH in front of you and watch which side it lunges forward to first

Then step forward to the opposite side

repeat ad infinitum

If left, start right, if right, start left

Left and right and left and right, you will obviously take corruption dmg which is unavoidable but you can go hitless

[heavy shuttle]

Is it just me or has the game suddenly become more difficult in 4's?

[fierce umbra]

yo

[fierce umbra]

i was thinking that today

[fierce umbra]

but so many of todays malace mish have been high intensity

*haresy

[heavy shuttle]

Glad Im not the only one. Premade group getting our asses beat on mission types we've cruised through for weeks.

[tepid skiff]

ye, people've been reporting that right since that big hotfix.

something's changed for sure. it's just that we don't know what.

and whether or not it's intentional.

[tough cove]

For me it's an opposite experience, I've been finding heresy easier since before the patch to the point where it's become my default instead of malice and even feel comfortable doing damnation pubs now, perhaps you're just being unlucky with your teams?

[hollow mulch]

is good axe?

Trying to get something to cleave with on my psyker lol :<

[fervent ridge]

Very good axe, now reroll 8% melee to 25% bonus vs flak and you've got yourself a Damnation-ready melee

[hollow mulch]

:0

really? flak

[fervent ridge]

Do not consecrate to Gold lest you risk rolling into Limbsplitter and dooming the entire weapon

[hollow mulch]

i thought i'd want unarmoured and infested

oooh

good call

thanks

[fervent ridge]

Infested covers only Pox Hounds and Pox walkers which is a very small number of enemy encounters whereas more than 70% of all enemies in DT wear some form of flak so rolling into bonus vs flak gives your axe more utility in a much larger number of scenarios

[hollow mulch]

aha ok

thanks for the tips

[fervent ridge]

For reference the 'ideal' melee weapon will come with either bonus vs flak or bonus vs maniac (mutants, tox & scab flamers, ragers, trappers..) allowing you to reroll the 2nd perk into whichever you didn't get

That in combination with Brutal Momentum (best Blessing on antax v) turns your single target strikedown weapon into a mixed-horde blender and you can approach all enemy compositions without braincells involved

[hollow mulch]

Just enough brain cells to hit them heads ;)

I'm pretty shit at aiming so I'll have to sprinkle a few more brain cells in

[wary ridge]

emperor sake, did they remove the ability to refine a curio perk from 3 star into 4 star, ive been here for 10 minutes and not gotten anything

[fervent ridge]

No it is still there

10 minutes is normal

try half an hour

Keep going kin

[wary ridge]

oh I get it, this is the gameplay loop to keep you busy for the next hour till the store resets

[fervent ridge]

There you go

you've got it

I've probably spent 30 of my 300 hours rerolling shit lol

[wary ridge]

I felt like when I did this on zealot I at least SAW 4 star perks, even if it was usually a trash one like bonus XP

but Im not getting shiiiit this time. Sept for a 2 star downgrade every 3rd roll or so

cant wait to do this crap all over again with blessings

[mellow girder]

HaI , Guys any easy tips for zealot penance "abhor the mutant"

[tepid skiff]

the wording is unclear, but it's you who needs to be charging, not the mutant. you need to kill him during your charge, not after. as such, a strong single hit weapon is the best: axe or thammer.

[mellow girder]

ooo a second gap before i smash him. noted

[vagrant spade]

Thank you I'm going to practice soon and try it out, glad there's a way to deal with it

[fervent ridge]

I recommend using Malice or lower games to practise it since I noticed that Malice and below games have a tendency to spawn one or multiple disablers during the duration of you engaging the DH which is basically a clusterfuck to dodge in and can train you to better perform in heresy+ dodging minigames

Surprisingly nothing spawns during dh encounters in higher difficulties

Maybe a horde but hordes are the least of your concerns up there

[dense grove]

Hi.

Anyone with Gigabyte RTX 3080 Gaming OC ... sometimes at medium high settings less than 100 fps

sometimes fps drops

any good settings for that ?

[void forum]

Nice footwork

[warm nebula]

I recently heard that Discord is pulling framerates down. Are you running Discord concurrently with Darktide?

[dense grove]

sometimes yes i forgot to close discord

[warm nebula]

Hang on, let me dig out the workaround instructions

It’s… a bit of a lot

But I’m considering trying it myself, since I like to have Discord up alongside too

[dense grove]

thank you . i will try this .. but is not better if i close discord ?

[warm nebula]

Yeah, probably

But I want to be terminally online

[dense grove]

ok i will try thank you

[warm nebula]

I mean, it involves downloading some… Third-Party Software 😱

[dense grove]

i find this CUDA - Force P2 State

is ON

[warm nebula]

Turn it OFF. I think that’s what the instructions want you to do

[fervent ridge]

Thanks I put all of my stats in this game into dodge battles vs bosses, here is my footwork the rest of the time

[nova geyser]

Question about the deadeye penance for the vet, if I take the perk that highlights all shooters, does that mean I can kill 5 of them, or does it still have to be all elites?

[tepid skiff]

it works on shooters, yes. but more importantly, it doesn't require you to kill anything, just hit 5 weak spots.

meaning, get a beast of nurgle and unload anything fast firing at its back spot.

unless i'm confusing it with some other penance, of course, but anyway counterfire is the best thing about vet and it should be taken all the time.

[nova geyser]

Ended up getting it off of switching to counterfire and to a different gun. I believe you were mixing up the earlier weakspot one with deadeye which is get 5 weakspot kills in one use of the F.

[bold vigil]

Are there any third party wikis for dodging tips?

[serene latch]

it's a safe tool

[tepid skiff]

not quite wiki, but if you have time to spare, you can try watching vermintide videos on the topic. they should mostly apply. like this, for instance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTP5WCVHJ0s

[dull cradle]

Anyone have the dreg cleanser penance stuck at 6/7 how do I fix that

[gentle lion]

Best tip is just to practice imo

[barren nymph]

Is this a good axe to buy

[tepid skiff]

it's somewhat alright. but regular shop moneys are more or less unlimited, you can buy whatever you want guilt-free.

it's melk shop that forces to think hard about every potential purchase.

[torn lion]

See the combat rating on weapons and curios what’s the max or has no one reached it yet?

[dire prism]

Anyone know offhand how much the resource cost is to upgrade in total from a grey to the yellow/orange whatever rarity?

[dire prism]

Searching around the discord got me these numbers but not sure if they are correct feels a little short

"550diamantine / 1550plasteel to consecrate fully"

[tepid skiff]

no, sounds about right. 150 + 200 + 400 + 800.

and nobody cares about diamantine, it's always excessive.

oh, well, presently you also need to budget about 250 steel to roll out a perk.

[dire prism]

Awesome ty

[heavy shuttle]

Whats the perk reroll on this? Want to keep the 4 dot even if its a stupid +1 sta. Maniac or flak perhaps?

For vet.

[fervent ridge]

+25% bonus to flak is the play I think

[exotic mason]

What's the highest damage per shot on an infantry autogun?

[fervent ridge]

141, I guess

My Agri infa with a 78 dmg roll has 138 dmg

So 80 dmg roll would be 140? 141? probably within that range

[barren nymph]

Bought this at the store never saw +20 regenerative speed before

[fervent ridge]

they changed the regen values on toughness regen perk with the most recent patch

Previously T3 regen was 15%, T4 was 20%, now T3 is 22.5%, T3 is 30% regen

It's overall a buff to toughness regen speed

[heavy shuttle]

I'll give it a shot and get back with you. Thanks

[fervent ridge]

flak or maniac are the best % damage bonus rolls you can get on majority of melee weapons but you probably don't want to be in cqb with ragers or mutants as a vet so the flak bonus will help you handle those jacketed flak dudes better or scab shooters (the green goggly eyed men) is my line of thinking

[sour ravine]

Goodmorning all , is there a list of which enemies are in which mission? Seems I've been stuck on killing the Dreg type enemies for the weekly....

[tepid skiff]

it's pure random. just play a bit more, you'll get them. it's a team contract too, so you don't have to do anything personally, it'll count.

[sour ravine]

Ohhhh ok. Thank you!

[dusky cypress]

hey all im kinda new to the game i do have a level 18 veteran but i was just wondering what the suggested character level per area difficulty is. ive been on uprising now for a bit and i personally think im jus about ready for malice (i think it is?) if not am. i just dont wanna get my team killed cuz im under leveled.

[tepid skiff]

you can try malice, sure. you will get wrecked, of course, but it's only natural.

the outcome will largely depend on whether or not you'll get a couple of experienced dudes in the team.

but it's way more fun there in any case.

[fervent ridge]

Yo! welcome to Darktide

If you need an aforementioned experienced dude to help cushion your run and let you play without stressing I'm happy to assist

[dusky cypress]

yo dude much appreciated ill definitely give ya an add here and hop on sometime. all my friends dont have darktide so nice to find a squad. also i kinda get it trash squad = trash game thanks zuzuzu

[fervent ridge]

I wouldn't use the word trash since it's a bit harsh but clueless or inexperienced players can make the run less about you having fun trying out new weapons/builds/playstyle and more about hugging your teammates and sitting behind cover like a little pussy trying not to get gunned down by the billion enemy specials that spawn

i'll dm you my steam

[spice pebble]

How do I get these? I'd have googled them but I don't even know what they're called

[warm nebula]

That's Diamantine. You can find it in crates and sitting around, on Uprising difficulty and higher.

[spice pebble]

Thanks

[fringe meadow]

aye, the harder the difficulty, the more you can find

[spice pebble]

Is it on the ground like plasteel? And if someone else picks up that stuff, does everyone get it?

[fringe meadow]

yes

and you find it on the same spots

and just as plasteel, you can find small or big stacks

[spice pebble]

Ohhh ok

[fringe meadow]

it's easier to spot because it sorta glows, very faintly, but you can still spot it from afar

[heavy shuttle]

The baseline stats are great. The perks from upgrading though... Ouch. I'm guessing I can reroll the infested to flak and keep the stamina for deadshot.

Alot will depend on that 2nd blessing whether it'll be solid or another disapointment.

[fringe meadow]

i'm looking forward to when we'll be able to reroll blessings

any idea when this will be added?

[fervent ridge]

Over the next several months according to FS

[raven crystal]

no matter what weapon I use, this count refused to increase when I shoot scabs (those enemies who shoot back)
I'm playing Zealot Priest, which weapon on this class will make this count increase

I've gone through almost a week's worth of missions and this count is frozen at that number

any ideas or workarounds?
❓

[neat jacinth]

Any ranged weapon except Flamer, I think

Not all scabs shoot back though, the Scab Assaulters have no guns at all

[latent girder]

that's teamwide btw

[raven crystal]

I tried autoguns, lasguns, boltgun, etc. Nothing seems to work. Also if this is team wide, why doesn't it increase. Had several matches where the other team members were only veterans and still no scab count?

and I saw scabs go down to ranged fire applenty

ideas?

or are the melk missions bugged out?

[latent girder]

i think it's bugged

[raven crystal]

saw the same problem with grimoirs, no matter how many the team picks up, zero count increase

[vagrant spade]

Hi I need some advice, as a veteran player how do I kill those big armored guys with the shield one on one. We're at the end wave stage and 3+ armored shield guys wiped my team and I tried running circles but after a while I got hit in the back

[latent girder]

dodge slide

when it raises it's arm to attack

grenades at it's feet owrk as well

[jade knot]

i tend to always use stagger on them, as long as theyre off balance their head is open, but that does require an ogryn or thunder hammer or something else with real high stagger/impact/whateverweirdstat

[vagrant spade]

Ah okay I'll try thanks!

[last wharf]

Looking for a team to try the "Just a flesh wound" Penance. message me, thanks:)

[supple island]

also looking for one, theres a low intensity heresy mission ive been able to do in 20, bu need just a little shorter time

[robust hare]

Trying to do this too, can try it together if we csn get some others

[supple island]

unfortunately lads, i did just get it from a random mission

if you need me to help you just @ me!

[robust hare]

I have a friend willing to help too so we only need one more

Unless @supple island is free to help?

[crisp tree]

I'm looking for a group to help with "Malleus Monstronum". Willing to join others with their penances

[supple island]

im currently in a 4 stack with friends rn

[frosty lynx]

Anyone know what matchmaking is based off of? Is it ping? I can find a full game when I'm alone on any difficulty so quick but when I have a friend 2k miles away in my party we have to play with 2 bots, permanently

[crisp tree]

maybe accidently pressing private game?

[frosty lynx]

@crisp tree nah, we occasionally get a player from my friend's country but it's so rare. We're alone 95% of the time but when I'm solo it's an immediate fill. Maybe region lock, thanks for the idea though!

[graceful halo]

Anyone knows how damage to the player work ? Distribution between HP and tougness, I cant figure out when an attack will damage my hp or my toughness only

[woeful root]

For ranged attacks, toughness will soak the damage before you take any health damage. If you do not have enough toughness to completely soak up a ranged shot, the remaining damage goes to your HP.

For melee attacks, toughness acts as a damage reduction modifier based on the percentage of toughness you have. Let's say you're a Veteran with 241 Max Toughness. If you currently have 210 toughness, the next melee hit will deal 87% damage (210/241).

[neat jacinth]

Basically, if you're at 100% toughness, a melee attack will not damage your HP. The lower your toughness (percentage-wise), the more damage will bleed through to your HP.

[woeful root]

If you like to read, this reddit post lays out the details about enemy damage
https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/10f40uz/all_enemy_attacks_damage_values_healthtoughness/

[graceful halo]

Thank you, i thought if you were above 100, you took no HP damage at all. With your example "210 toughness, the next melee hit will deal 87% damage (210/241).", what happen in game make sense now

[clever roost]

Did I just reach max in two currencies already?

[uneven bough]

100,000 for melk coins

[clever roost]

Oh ok. Seeing another currency with three 0s made me worry.

[fervent ridge]

See you again in 6 months

[barren nymph]

I bought this weapon for my sharpshooter this morning. Is the 363 power enough to main this ? Should I upgrade to another perk and if so what should I ensure the second perk is by changing it. I just want a good main side

[latent girder]

Power sword is really powerful baseline

the perk isn't great on it though

[fervent ridge]

As Sean said, 363 base rating is incredibly sexy and that blessing is decent, the perk looks kinda dodgy here tho so I'd recommend to consecrate it one more time and if you land on a bonus vs damage type 2nd perk, then it's salvageable and you can reroll your 8% melee crit to 25% bonus vs Flak or Maniac if you don't wanna keep it

If it doesn't roll into a bonus vs dmg type 2nd perk but something like Sprint Speed or Block efficiency then the sword is doomed

That's the gamble, now's your call

[tepid skiff]

i'd say install web shop extension and just F5 it for a couple of days. chances are, you'll find a better one for free.

well, for shop money, technically, but it's about the same.

[fervent ridge]

Ye that's p much free money

[barren nymph]

I got increased melee damage, is that similar to bonus damage ?

What should I roll my second boltgun perk too?

Flak damage ? Or reload speed

[pastel ravine]

What is considered fully charged Heavy attack, do I just charge until it auto release

[latent girder]

for?

[pastel ravine]

Knife Through Butter and/or Thrust Blessing

[latent girder]

thrust may have a proc before it actually auto releases, knife through butter I am not sure

[pastel ravine]

do "Pinpointing Target" blessing affects the explosion from Grenadier Gauntlet special or only the punch damage

[latent girder]

only punch

it's kinda sucky

[strong lava]

is this worth getting? I haven't bought anything from melk before and I can get the remaining currency easy

[uneven bough]

absolutely not

[strong lava]

why not

[uneven bough]

Cloud is #1 or #2 stat, poor blessings, poor perks

[pastel ravine]

do surge staff stun last longer the more you charge or is it constant

[crisp tree]

good or nah?

[latent girder]

for

[crisp tree]

psyker

[latent girder]

you may want to ask in psyker chat if block eff works with the peril blocking

[crisp tree]

alright thx for responding though

[latent girder]

if it works it should be decent tho

[uneven bough]

It's decent after rerolling something, probably cooldown reduction

[pastel ravine]

For Bloodthirsty blessing does it only affect the next attack or for a duration

[latent girder]

thats the crit chance on special kill right?

I believe it has a like 5 second duration

i'd have to double check though

and I don't have anything with that on it

[pastel ravine]

I see just got one L4 Bloodthirsty rolled for me on a shitty weapon just gonna get it and see how the crafting update gonna affect

[latent girder]

I think it can only roll

at l4

[pastel ravine]

its only for one attack

after

[latent girder]

oof

[pastel ravine]

its useful for chain killing elite tho

[uneven bough]

No, it's for five seconds

[pastel ravine]

it doesnt crit anymore after my first attack tho

[uneven bough]

At least on a FS it does. Haven't checked if they use different versions

[pastel ravine]

yea its definitely on next attack only as I waited for 10 second and it still crit but it wont crit after my first hit even when I spammed it within 5 second

[latent girder]

which weapon did you get it on?

[pastel ravine]

chainaxe

cool thing is every single hit on the revved up attack will be crit

[latent girder]

hmm, it might be a different version of it or something (some blessings apear the same but are different on different weapons, infernus namely)

[uneven bough]

Looks like only the FS version has a duration

[wary ridge]

I rolled a shotgun with suuuper low ammo stat

Can you get the veteran 100% accuracy achievment using the shotgun?
Or is it some spaghetti nonsense that requires every single BB to hit

[ocean beacon]

only need to land 1 pellet per shot

[wispy plume]

any1 wonna help me get this?

[paper ore]

so i cant change the 6% exp boost? even thi it offers me to select it?

[woven elk]

Not enough steel

[paper ore]

it says 49 needed? and i have 56?

or am i missing something?

[bold token]

It's probably a mismatch between the cost in the UI.

[paper ore]

oh okay so a bug. maybe when i get more plasteel i can change it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/10utu2v/how_to_combat_pox_hounds_with_confidence/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

I still hear a lot of people complain that dodging dogs is inconsistent. Just posted this foolproof guide to dealing with pox hounds on reddit. Thought I'd share with you all here too. Please chime in on the post if you find it helpful!

[ornate flame]

is +3 rending better than 55% penetration?

[pliant fox]

Penetration % depends on the weapon. The % you get on the stat bar doesn't mean anything on it's own, you need to look at the values in there. This is for a power sword right?

[ornate flame]

ah, no. Rumbler grenade launcher

[pliant fox]

gotcha. Well first things first, Rending is applied when you hit the target with the weapon. So it has no effect on your first hit, just any damage to the target (from you or allies) after you hit it.

Penetration determines your effectiveness against the different armor types. So rending is basically a modifier to penetration

[ornate flame]

so the one on the left is objectively better?

[pliant fox]

That's where it gets tricky. Each of those stat bars is a grouping, that represents anywhere from 2-8 different stats. If you mouse over the penetration (blast) stat in the detailed weapon view, you'll see this:

[ornate flame]

yup

does that take into account the +3 rending?

[pliant fox]

55% on the penetration stat gives you: 78% flak armor damage, 103% stagger vs flak, and 103% carapace

So on this gun, rending provides almost no bonus to YOU. but it will benefit your allies

No, those numbers don't take rending into consideration. Any benefits from perks or blessings are not shown in the weapon stats and damage table. Rending affects your follow up shots. So if you hit a mauler with flak armor, your first shot will only do 78% damage. +3 rending reduces its armor coverage by 15%, (15% of your damage ignores armor), so your followup shot will do 81% damage. Third shot will do 85% damage, etc. Since your armor pen is already pretty high, the rending doesn't do much for you

but your ally shooting it with a lasgun with 20% armor pen, that rending makes a big difference. that would be a 60% damage boost after you hit it

[ornate flame]

awesome, if it makes it easier for allies to kill the bastard heretics I am all in

[latent girder]

Rending is a self buff

not a debuff

Brittleness is the debuff version

[woeful root]

Accordiing to this post, "+Rending" and "Brittleness%" apply brittleness (enemy debuff). "Rending%" is the self-buff.

neat

[quiet ginkgo]

Is there some way to bring up a net graph?

[meager rain]

im trying to finish "Just a flesh wound", but cant get right team beside me. Is there any other way to finish this mission or you have to be hardcore?

[fervent ridge]

The two optimal maps to attempt fleshwound on are the assassination on obliette and hab dreyko investigation

If possible, get a premade (or two) so you can speedrun it when it rotates and even better if the low intensity modifier is on for those maps

And then you just blitz your way through, don't stop for anything

Granted, it is one of the hardest penances in the game

For Curios, is there must have blessings outside of Damage Resist for X?

Curious if things like Toughness regen make a huge difference

[woeful root]

Curios are one of the more flexible things in a build. You'll probably get different answers from different people depending on their playstyle.

For me, I pretty much only use my melee, so I prioritize stamina regen, sprint eff, and block eff. My main source of toughness is from melee kills or quelling, so I don't need toughness regen.

So "it depends" is the answer I'm going to give you. You'll probably want to talk about your class and playstyle for more specific answers.

[young comet]

That's fair. I mainly focus on melee myself and provide support on sticky or hard to reach targets via my MGXII or Bolter. It helps alot for clutching having strong answers to hordes in melee with the Brutal Momentum Axe and then having longer ranged options or heavy options in my ranged slot. I thought of having a higher Toughness Regen so that coherency-based defense moments are easier to bounce back in but I'm on the fense. Currently have been just running hodge podge Damage Resistances on things like Gunners n' such to provide generic 'always-up' bonuses

Block Efficiency is one I am definitely looking into adding to my curios so that I can spam more block smacks with it

[meager tapir]

thats such bullshit

[fervent ridge]

That's the final hurdle for Zealots

[woeful root]

FYI, block efficiency only affects stamina damage taken while blocking an attack. It won't affect the cost of pushes. A big reason why I run block eff is because I use a melee with only three stamina bars, and block-cancelling is part of the combo so a stray melee hit can guardbreak me and stun me for a second. Block eff is still nice to get an extra buffer for reviving.

Gunner Damage resistance also only affects the elites--the Gunners (with the ammo backpack) and Reapers (Ogryn shooter) that show up on the top-left of your screen when you kill them. I personally find the damage resistance perks to be a bit too situational.

Toughness regen is nice if you're poking at ranged enemies with your team, and your class' toughness feat isn't helping (such as if you're running the +50% toughness on elite kill, but there aren't any elites around). Personally, I break coherency a lot, so it wouldn't help me much, but that might be different for you.

Out of the available perks, the perks I consider to be "always useful" are:

• Health
• Toughness
• Toughness Regen (Coherency)
• Combat Ability Regen
• Stamina Regen
• Block eff
• Sprint eff

Maybe it'll help with your decision making to look at the list of possible curio perks so that your mind doesn't float around too much

[young comet]

Much appreciated!

[woeful root]

In my curios, I consider Sprint Eff to be my flex slot. I might swap it out for combat ability regen or toughness if I feel like grinding for them.

of course, that's only my opinion; you could probably ask again at a different time once more people are on and whatnot
Another thing to keep in mind is that I'm a Psyker, so I have a pretty much consistent source of toughness regen from my feats. I can break Coherency and survive perfectly fine because of my feats.

[young comet]

I think I agree with a lot of what you're saying. I think Gunner Damage Resist is still really nice to deal with if you are out of coherency and need to rush back while under fire. It tends to be that Gunners spawning in remind me that the power of friendship is useful and I fold back in before I take real damage. But besides that I am likely going to look into Block/Stam perks and then fill with a couple Damage Resists. I do really like your point with Tough Regen being great for shooters in coherency, since on my Vet I find myself always bleeding toughness faster than I can get it back through headshots and ambient regn

[young comet]

Yup. Mainly play Zealot so Toughness Regen doesn't quite strike much resonance with me since I spam my ability as a heal option when needed

[woeful root]

since you're presumably running the +10% toughness on weakspot kill; did they fix the feat? Last time I ran Veteran (like 1-2 months ago), the feat was broken for me and didn't work at all

[young comet]

They may have? I swap between that and the on-elite-kill one and I'm perpetually unimpressed lol

I'd have to check on the recent patch notes to make sure

[woeful root]

ye i've swapped from the elite one to the weakspot one and I was extremely disappointed when my toughness kept getting dinked despite getting weakspot kills

until I realized that I wasn't getting any toughness at all

[young comet]

Yup mega disappointing. And I really don't want to force the Camo Expert either

Rather have the 75% Damage resist atm

[woeful root]

god mode

[barren tendon]

is this good

[rigid wasp]

Holy

[clever roost]

If you're wondering how much time it takes with the current shop + craft system to get the weapon you want with the perks you want and the blessings you want, it took me 500 hours.

Give up hope, hold on to vengeance.

[tepid skiff]

why infested though?

to hit some damnation breakpoint vs poxwalkers?

[clever roost]

To add some cleave damage with brutal momemtum.
It's for my veteran so I mostly use the axe for hordes, not on elites or specialists

[dense grove]

best weapon and melee for level 30 ?

[clever roost]

what class

[tepid skiff]

for a question like that, k12 lasgun and power sword.

[graceful halo]

How come there are no inventory management, no "favorite" option, no way to register some configurations of weapons and items ?
It is a pain in the ass to change anything of your char

[pastel ravine]

do suppression do anything to melee enemies?

[fervent ridge]

Ye it makes them cower

There are suppression-related blessings on weapons like the braced autogun and the shotgun that makes enemies in 5-6-7-8 metres radius around you get suppressed upon a close range kill

So if you kill a poxwalker in the middle of a horde it's like a very short stun effect for that entire area of the crowd

[neat jacinth]

Poxwalkers can't get suppressed, groaners can though
