if you could replace blessings with perks it would be way better

ikr. some 4 perk guns would be nice indeed.

#

Oh so infernus is what I need for acca to be good

#

Only 50 hours on vet, I got a 379 acca with good dmg and coll rolls but it was really shit in t5

#

Didn't know I needed that degree of minmax

#

to be good

fervent ridge
#

I just swapped back to my xii with random blessings and fucked hard

#

Or yea agri brauto lets me walk into 40 yellows and cream them

tepid skiff
#

yeah, that faceroll experience is the best part of playing vet. more yellow, more, fuckin drown me in this shit, my cup runneth over.

#

as long as there are some elites mixed in there to refill toughness, you're immortal anyway, and can just kill and kill and kill for the glory of the emprah.

had that happen earlier

Was there some guy here today who bought an item and it didn't show up in inventory

#

I just bought this, went to my inventory it wasn't there

changed operative, restarted the game, restarted my pc

It's just gone, poof, vanished into the void

what a scam.

check official bug report forums, see if it's there. we'll at least know whether it's acknowledged.

yea I'll do that ty

and also won't buy anything from melks

it had t4 rampage which is why I committed to much melkies to it

Question, if I earned the Thrust IV blessing from this chain axe, would that only be in the catalogue for chain axes or all weapons that are capable of having Thrust?

latent girder
#

chainaxes

slate plume
#

oof

latent girder
#

thrust is quite good on the chaxe, but the weapon itself isn't for everyone

woeful root
#

works the same way for psyker staffs as well; blessings on the voidstrike do not transfer over to the trauma staff and so on

slate plume
#

I like the chain axe but i'd probably have to run like a recon las to deal with hordes, even tho i love my helbore

latent girder
#

it is cross character

#

so you'd be able to put it on a zealot's chaxe

true

#

can you get a level 4 blessing on power sword on a blue upgrade?

golden pivot
#

ya, how i said in vetchat - dunno the chance, think its less than 5% of T4 on blue

#

maybe even closer to 0.5%, but I don't have a dataset to run the numbers on

strange kiln
#

i've gotten three now

#

wraith t3, power cycler and sunderer

#

er t4 sorry

#

power cycler was the one i was chasing, even though i kind of suspect slaughterer 4 is better. now all i gotta do is find a decent stats candidate that rolls slaughterer

lapis trellis
#

is the untouchable pennance more complicated than the description suggests? i've finished 2 missions now with max hp, no health kits or med stations used, and still hasn't unlocked for some reason

golden pivot
#

before you used to get some chip damage even at full toughness, not sure if they properly updated it

its the only time (along with on overwatch) I do advice running camo expert on vet

I can't see my game at all. The menus and interface are fine but i cant see anything else

#

So I have camera sway intensity at 0% but the chain axe is really jarring and sometimes moves my camera around. Has anyone found a fix?

golden pivot
#

mods on nexus, iirc

tepid skiff
#

the easiest fix would be to stop using chainaxe.

#

it has the additional benefit of not having to deal with the worst melee in the game.

naive remnant
#

Very helpful thank you 🙄
I enjoy a bleed nade + bleed melee build on vet that basically lets me be a pointman with the zealot. The chainaxe has been more effective in letting me take down ogryns/carapace/maniacs faster than my normal lacerate knife

#

what blessings are best for infantry autoguns? there's so many

fervent ridge
#

Opening Salvo + Fire Frenzy or Deathspitter or just the latter two since Power is sexy

vocal dragon
#

Does anyone know what the maximum total a weapon can have for its stat modifiers?

woeful root
#

stat modifier max is 380; perk max is 50 (each t4 is 25) ; blessing max is 120 (each t4 is 60)

vocal dragon
woeful root
#

yeah; for now, all stats are capped at 80%

#

presumably so that they can uncap later on

vocal dragon
#

Do you think raising the minimum on stats would be a good idea? Because I've had a few weapons that would have been good but ended up with a 2% stability roll. Effectively making them useless.

woeful root
#

yeah; everyone's been wanting the minimum raised, and they recently buffed it so that the armoury exchange and melk's always gives you weapons with a rating of 300+

#

it's quite a money dump to get weapons with the rating and stat distribution that you want from brunt's

vocal dragon
strange kiln
#

so a 380 is very rarely going to have a truely terrible of any stat since the worst it can possibly roll is 60, 80, 80, 80, 80. also the best, it all comes down to the dumpstat

#

but, to contrast, a 360 can roll 40, 80, 80, 80, 80 which would be a terrible weapon if that's your primary

sonic breach
#

what should I change for this flamer?

vocal dragon
olive turret
#

whats the max rating for a curio

#

guesiing 80 highest ive seen is 73

#

could be 100 but idk

tepid perch
#

same as a weapon mod im assuming

#

80/100

raven turtle
#

Speaking of curio.
I couldn't find any reliable source about that, but am I right to think that damage resistance (gunner) only applies to the machine gun-carrying gunners (elites, pingeable), not the stalkers and shooters (non-pingeable, "horde" mobs) ?

woeful root
#

yes; gunner resistance only applies to Gunners (elites with backpacks) and Reapers (ogryn shooter)

#

and if I recall correctly, it does not apply to shotgunners

raven turtle
#

So, it's useful, but not that good

woeful root
#

yup

raven turtle
#

I'm theorycrafting my perfect build, just to get an average one because I can't farm for endless hours

woeful root
#

my ideal build depends on my mood; a month ago, I would've gone for sprint/block eff perks, but now I think that +5 toughness% is better than block eff

#

very subject to change

fervent ridge
#

Damnation shotgunners instadraw and blow through 300 toughness in 0.2 seconds nothing is as big of a threat as them

woeful root
#

they do 120 damage at close range and 3x to toughness iirc

[They have the funny multiplier vs toughess staregryn ]

#

For now the main question is: Shall I keep my Vraks Headhunter because it has fairly decent ammo and is used for DMR Purposes, or craft a good bolter to strengthen my anti elite side and still be quite good against specials, or just specialize myself and go flamer.
Flamer seems to be the worse option cuz I don't trust randoms to pick out specials and I already have the hammer to bonk the horde with

fervent ridge
#

Vraks th is a good combo for t5

woeful root
#

bolter is probably the weapon to go if you want to be a generalist

fervent ridge
#

Bolter/flamer th is way too slow, you'll move like tortle

woeful root
#

you could also rely on your nades to take care of bulwarks/crushers and continue using your vraks

#

depends on what you feel like is lacking

raven turtle
#

th ? What does th stands for ?

raven turtle
#

So Bolter sounds good.
But on the other hand, I feel like either you don't have to use nades and you find them by thousands, or either they're the prime necessities and you'll find a single box throughout the mission

normal nest
#

Does the curio bomber resistance work on the fire? How does it work?

latent girder
#

it doesn't

#

it reduces the damage from the bomb hitting you in the face and the bomber kicking you

normal nest
#

I never noticed that did damage. It is always the fire.

latent girder
#

the bomb has to directly hit you

normal nest
#

Ah, I don't know if that has ever happened to me. It is so rare that perk seems silly.

#

Maybe if the blast radius was 1/4 the aoe size 1/2 the duration and it threw twice as many. Or was a cluster like bomb.

#

Or a bazooka type situation. That would be cool.

wanton estuary
#

devil's claw sword parry should do a lot more damage on the riposte. right now it's almost never better to parry than to just block, which is a shame because i love a good parry more than most things

mental sphinx
#

So I noticed something weird seems to be happening with my dodges, I'm dodging maybe one or two attacks while swinging away, then suddenly dodge just disappears and I'm like, half-dodging just sort of sliding along slowly on my feet/the key doesn't even seem to be working. Literally feels like I'm being stuck in slow motion dodges/completely non-responsive. Is my tempo off on dodges or is that some sort of bug/lag issue?

#

I only started to notice this in like the last week or so

woeful root
#

Each weapon has an effective dodge limit. Exceeding this limit will cause your dodges to progressively become slower and shorter until you hit another hidden limit. Waiting 0.85 seconds will reset all of your dodges.
Dodge-sliding counts twice towards your dodge limit.
Although sprint-sliding does not count towards your dodge limit, it will prevent your dodge count from resetting.

#

the NumericUI mod has an option to visualize your dodge counter

mental sphinx
#

hm ok

#

probably what's happening then

#

thanks

vagrant spade
#

Alright those dogs are super annoying af, I've only been able to successfully melee them to stop their tackle, what's the best way to deal with them

strange kiln
#

if you are running something fast like a taxe legit i just point at them and swing

#

they are bullshit, so i do this early, and then they try and teleport on me and even though i didn't know it i hit them

brave breach
#

You either kill them before they get to you, or dodge them

strange kiln
#

once they're in their pounce animation i think literally any hit will stagger them

#

but often they don't get into that pounce animation on your screen until after it's too late

brave breach

Headshots seem to stagger really well even when not pouncing

hard goblet

They are account-wide.

stoic plank
#

? Huh, thats wierd, ive never completed a mission at max difficulty but there a handful there. I get rekt too quick, bug perhaps?

woeful root
#

they don't mean that it means you completed the mission on damnation
the chevrons will look different. I don't know which corresponds to which, but I know that three skulls indicate that you completed that mission on Damnation

#

one skull is heresy

#

I think single chevron is sedition, double chevron is uprising, and yaddi yadda

#

something along those lines

stoic plank
#

The skull thing i get, the chevrons i have no clue, now im just more confused.

woeful root
#

this chevron, for example, means you completed the mission on malice

#

this chevron means that you completed it on damnation

#

i don't have the images for the other difficulties, but that's just it

stoic plank
#

wtf was i bodying in damnation and dint even know it?

woeful root
#

they chevron just indicates the highest difficulty that you've completed the mission at

#

so you have the damnation chevron without doing damnation?

stoic plank
#

As far as im aware, i say away from t4 and t5 as i just get bodied too quick and fail the mission. I just stick to malice and lower like a scrub

woeful root
#

screenshot your mission board

stoic plank
#

will do cuz now i feel like im trippin

yes

no limitations on what images you can share as long as you stick to common sense

Alright, thank you!

#

Can someone explain to me the logic behind being able to join Damnation at levels below 30? Just had a lvl 23 veteran with recon lasgun. The only thing they accomplish is eating through ammo while killing nothing. Effective DMG/Ammo on that guy are in the parts per million....

fervent ridge
#

He is the Special Condition

quiet ginkgo
#

He HAS a special condition

#

I doubt he will even level faster than if he ran T3 due to failing 99/100 runs, because there ain't a backpack on this earth big enough to carry that pile of rocks to the end.

cackles welcome to pug Damnations, you'll just eventually get good enough to carry

Just an unlucky game, people are usually not so

quiet ginkgo
#

I think it's actually the first one i encounter. Prior to this, I just assumed T5 unlocked at 30. And i have 3 chars at 30 lol

uncut verge
#

I think it's fine to allow level 13 or w/e it is to play Damn in a PRIVATE match, but for public games they really should increase the level req on both Heresy and Damn

what the best way to get a level 4 blessing? i have been farming power sword for a week, upgraded to blue like 50 of them and 0 level 4 blessings and there are 7 level 4 blessing. I have every other level blessing PepestanDeadFromInside

hard goblet
#

There is no other way.

#

They're purposely rare so that you'll play longer because if you got the weapon and build you wanted, you'd stop playing.

#

So keep at it!

glossy solstice
#

iirc

#

also high stat total items give better blessings as well

What are the alternatives to flamer for Zealot, anyway? It seems to be their best weapon, but especially with it being potentially nerfed soon I'd like to explore some gun options.

is this any gud?

#

I've heard good things on Recon Lasguns with Infernus, but I've never got too into the Recons myself.

Punishing Salvo won't do too much good tho if you are shooting completely full auto. If you tap in burst tho it'll do better and it'll be more accurate anyway, so it's not an awful blessing really just need to keep it in mind

#

If you really like Recons, I'd say grab for the infernus blessing just to have it and play with it and see if you like it. Then you can always get a better roll and move the perk over later.

#

Oh also maybe reroll the second perk to increase crit chance so that it gets the most outta Infernus

steel sinew
#

You can definitely get power cycler from leveling green power swords to blue right? I'm not just wasting all my plasteel? NM_peepoHigh

Yessir. Blessings are just evasive like that

where can i specifically find dregs? like are they guaranteed to spawn in certain missions/regions

fervent ridge
#

They spawn everywhere, they're the yellow mustard dudes

quaint jacinth
#

atm i'm doing vigil station oblivium and i haven't seen any of them

#

so they definitely don't spawn equally everywhere

pliant oak
#

The ratio is also just randomised

tough epoch
#

Yeah Cultist/Traitor Guard spawns are random

#

if the mission doesnt have them just leave and join a game where they are around. Theres a reason most people just speedrun the kill-count stuff on Difficulty 1-2

quaint jacinth
tough epoch
#

Yeee no worries

#

I suggested low difficulty since if you leave at least you arent being a detriment since every enemy dies in like 1-2 hits anyway

tepid skiff
#

i think that scripted events on some maps do have a trickle of bruisers of specific factions, along with small dudes. like dregs come out endlessly in hab block finale, and scabs in torrent water cleanse finale.

#

but it's not a practical way of farming them, i think.

does damage resistance vs gunners apply to normal riflemen?

outside of just general damage resistance that some classes get no

tepid skiff

otherwise it'd be the primary focus of any and all itemization.

#

if you have 1 toughness however, any class sliding evades 100% of rifleman ranged damage

#

that's generally what i observe from people who feedback the shooters etc are the deadliest, they aren't sliding enough.

it's just that sometimes, occasionally, you need to do other stuff besides sliding. this is where problems start.

My suggestion? You'll have to do the jerk thing and take the sniper feat that makes it so they don't target you as much, stay aware of any stragglers, stay behind the Ogryn at all times, block, dooodge, and pray.

or you can just kite the pogryn solo with a knife or dueling sword

tepid skiff
#

you launch any dark heresy mission, tell rando dudes in lobby what you wanna do, wait for their confirmation. then your ogryn friend wakes any daemonhost you encounter, plants his ass in a corner, plops shield down and goes afk. rando dudes do whatever they want (hold off the horde, usually), while you go poppin.

#

it's not that bad, and not that long, but special spawns are a bit of a nuisance.

#

and not every rando might agree to help.

#

in fact, due to special spawns it might get a bit interesting at times, and ideally ogryn would be still around to react to that. but that's details. overall scheme is solid and straightforward.

grim snow
#

Can someone explain how you can even do mission abow rank 3 with out needing some sort of godmode?
i tryed a heresy and i dont see how people are do that and damnations. everything is just more One shoty on you.
and sense we dont have infinity ammo, so we can use ranged and stay somewhat safe on cornors.
and upgrades dont feel like they do anything, still the same, " i need to hit the weak horders two times- and everything ells 4-10 times"

strange kiln
#

that sounds like i'm being dismissive i'm not. lots of things oneshot you, but while sliding forward you are immune to ranged fire so long as you have toughness

do you all just leave when you join a malice+ difficulty mission and theres level 1-10 users in there?

#

how do you avoid damage when a sniper spawns in behind you and shoots you in the back within 1.5 seconds without any audio cue

fervent ridge
#

Highly recommend to make jiggling back and forth/turning around constantly part of your muscle memory for movement in heresy+

#

You should never be standing still unless you're in an elevator

#

always just dodge and move around even if nothing is happening, once you get used to it you'll constantly be moving and it'll be harder for snipers to quickscope and dome you like that

#

kek definitely a skill issue. Nothing to do with special tuning.

#

which blessing should I take off for IAG?

fervent ridge
#

I'd keep Sustained Fire and replace DS with Opening Salvo

#

IAG is a medium-long ranged tap weapon which I think benefits more from opening shot blessings than close-quarter power blessings that would be better utilized by a close-medium ranged spray weapon like the AgriBrauto

tepid skiff
#

i feel like IAG has more of a flex role. it hipfires and sprays at mid distance, or wherever you end up, while retaining the ability to plink long way.

#

but it's hard to choose blessings for it, ye. lots of alright ones, none that stand out at must-have.

#

t4 sus is probably one of the best ones though.

tepid skiff
# odd sparrow whats the best heavy sword?

all three are great, there's not much difference between them. blessings do the heavy lighting. so, use the one you'll be able to cook with high headhunter and rampage.

#

not sure if rerolling perks is worth it? cleave seems low and i am unsure if one of the perks count as top tier perks on that weapon

strange kiln
#

extremely worth it imo

#

cleave targets is less relevant when using powered strikes, and it has the chase blessing on (slaughterer) and one good perk

#

weak spot damage to flak i'd say

#

and eventually replace rampage with power cycler

#

that is almost exactly the power sword i run and it'

#

s a monster

paper monolith
#

really flak? i rather bolt flak's and try to melee maniacs instead

#

also, slaughterer provides power which improves cleave

#

maniacs also valid but i'd say flak. fuckin everything in this game is flak

whats a salvo when shooting a lasgun

#

its not just the first shot is it

raven turtle
#

No.
Basically, it's from your first shot to when you character has completely recovered from the spread

So, if you tap fire, it should be like ~0.25s or so

Or, if you already have a salvo lasgun, it's all the shots it fires in one click

Are you lvl 30 yet

oh shit just got a tier 2 from random item from grendal, i guess its rng

fervent ridge
#

You'll see up to T2 blessings from hourly store at lvl 30, but the main source of T3 T4 blessings will be from Melks and Emps Gifts

whole epoch
#

never seen a tier 2 i can remember from the hourly store yet, but i am happy with the tier 2 from the random item from sire melk not grendal

#

still learning the names and stuff

fervent ridge
#

Some players even bulk purchase X weapon from Brunts and mass upgrade them to blue hoping to farm blessings but this is a gamble and only do it if you're very rich

whole epoch
#

i did understand that was a possible route, but i also understood i cant afford to invest resources on a blessing i cant choose to invest resources into, therefore was not worth for me

#

thanks for the tips man

fervent ridge
#

But yea, with that said just contextualize it that blessings farming is the endgame for Darktide atm for you to craft the 'perfect' gear so it's not something you gotta worry about yet before lvl 30 and even then you'll also be at the mercy of finding a good high base rating weapon to dump those good blessings on before you have your godweapon

#

yea im not worried about crafting weapons yet, im just trying to get blessings so i can when i get there

what weapons have this blessing?

uh, thunderhammer

#

lemmie look it up

#

almost exclusively ogryn weapons, i knew all the ones that weren't ogryn. neat

quaint jacinth
#

damn so many ogryn weapons ahv e it

latent girder
#

ogryn weapons want confident strike instead generally

quaint jacinth
#

on zealot it's really good though

#

and i love the thunder hammer

quaint jacinth
#

how can i choose what region i connect to in game?

fervent ridge
#

You can't

quaint jacinth
#

are there any 3rd party software or mods that can limit my connection?

violet granite
violet granite
#

which routes traffic to somewhere else before bouncing it to you

#

Most VPNs also either have dynamically shifting IPs, or bounce it through several locations before it reaches you

#

This greatly increases the length the signal has to travel

quaint jacinth
#

i know it's not exactly the same but for cs:go there is a way to not reroute through another connection but to selectively block certain connections so i can't connect through it
like if i wanna connect from paris to london
the connection can go through either germany or the netherlands so it picks one

violet granite
quaint jacinth
#

who does?

violet granite
#

Their server provider

#

I dont recall the exact provider name unfortunately

#

But basically its a server hosting company that has physical servers all across the world which dynamically provides DT with servers for usage based on current occupancy numbers

quaint jacinth
#

i'm asking this cause i live in a previously USSR state and the game always matches me up with non english speaking russians when i have easily 20 ping or less to frankfurt it other very commonly used western EU serves

all i'd want is to block certain IP ranges

violet granite
#

which ends poorly.

quaint jacinth
#

i'd take 100ping over not being able to communicate with the braindead mongrils over there

violet granite
#

The issue is its not 100 ping

#

its rubber banding not just for you, but also for the other 3 members in the game

#

Cos for some reason DT has client connection dependencies for server performance :/

#

What would be better is just find a friend in London or Paris and party up with them with them as lead. That way the server will be in EU and traffic will be routed normally

strange kiln
#

i have used a (very good) vpn the entire time i played darktide, but i'm connecting to something like 50 miles down the road

violet granite
#

But it also wont change the servers you are matched to

strange kiln
#

it bugs me in apex for precision aiming but i don't notice it in darktide

#

yeah

#

could you use a vpn to connect, turn it off after i wonder

violet granite
#

Server shits itself when you do that

strange kiln
#

yeah it would kick you out and you'd have to rejoin

#

when i'm stuck or something now i just toggle my VPN cause it's faster than a full alt-f4

violet granite
#

Because turning off the VPN basically just means its "client" that the server is talking to disappears

strange kiln
#

but i flicker it on and off, idk if connecting via a new ip would cause issues

#

i could test that actually

quaint jacinth
#

by that logic

#

i turn on vpn, join to an EU lobby and then turn it off and reconnect

ocean beacon
#

so your one of those people who crash lobbies with vpn 0_0

quaint jacinth
#

wouldn't that work?

strange kiln
#

i don't know if i would recommend i'm wondering if it would work

#

i don't think i've ever crashed a lobby

quaint jacinth
#

nothing to lose from trying

violet granite
#

Well apart from pissing off a bunch of people

#

But its online so who cares

quaint jacinth
#

i mean someone will always be pissed off, either me or them lol

strange kiln
#

like, laptops exist the system might have something in it to assume a computer might midgame have to change IP if say they left a wifi area or something.

violet granite
#

Im pretty sure you will need to close and reopen DT though'

#

Cos you are losing the entire DT server connection when you do that

quaint jacinth
#

worth it zyzz

strange kiln
#

so when i'm stuck or whatever that's what i do. i tell my VPN to kill the connection for like, three seconds max

#

the game will disconnect you and let you reconnect

#

that saves the initial load in

#

you get dumped back to the character select screeen

#

and i don't think i've ever seen it crash anyone

quaint jacinth
#

noice, thanks for the advice

tepid skiff
#

speaking of VPN, i have heavy connection issues for the last week or so, that are completely eliminated by using VPN.

#

wrote to fatshark support, they've said 'we dunno'. but they've added some monitoring in hotfix since then, so there's that.

#

and since i got a pretty decent VPN, with a server is in adjacent country, game works just fine when it's on, zero issues.

whole epoch
#

what does "ignore enemy hit mass" mean ?

#

for devastating strike blessing

strange kiln
#

i am not confident how it works with that specific blessing, but that's a quality of some other weapons specifically brutal momentum blessed weapons so i'll describe that

#

when you hit multiple enemies there are two relevant stats - cleave, which everyone knows ie how many targets your attack hits and the damage distribution on those targets

#

and opposed to that in a sense is enemy hit mass - that is, your weapon can only travel through so much mass before it stops. it doesn't matter if you have a ton of cleave, if you exceed your enemy hit mass on that swing your swing stops

#

different enemies have different qualities and armour has a gigantic quality so that when the player attacks a horde it is likely to travel through multiple unarmoured targets and stop on armour, as you've probably observed

#

if you ignore enemy hit mass you no longer need to be concerned with that mechanic. every one of your attacks will potentially hit all enemies they could as your swing never stops, however other qualities including cleave will determine how many enemies are damaged. i think weapons also have hard caps sometimes you can't influence of the max number of enemies they can damage, and if you exceed that you just do stagger

#

on brutal momentum taxes and axes this is absurdly good

whole epoch
#

thanks for the explanation that helps

strange kiln
#

but that isn't true of all weapons, it depends on their properties. it's a good idea to go ask in your class channel often people know quite a bit about the specific weap or blessing

#

np!

haughty pelican
#

Does upgrading a purple emperor's to gold have a higher chance of a T4 blessing?

#

Or would it be the same as buying something from the shop and upgrading it all the way?

strange kiln
#

it is incredibly difficult to know since no one possibly has a very large sample basically

#

do you want me to tell you what i think?

haughty pelican
#

Sure 🙂

#

I was thinking yes personally but have nothing to back that up of course

strange kiln
#

imo from observation: the itemlevel has a positive influence on the roll, the second consecrate roll seems to be at advantage. otherwise items to not have any meaningful differences once they're in your inventory

#

the second consecrate roll is not at a large advantage however and you still roll T2s frustratingly often

#

(before the patch it was widely reported to be stronger ie T1 or T2, T3 was the most common outcome i heard but anecdotes not the plural of data etc)

#

that would be on a 380

#

i don't think items have any kind of memory or anything like that - once you own them whatever positive influence they had on their pre-spawn emperor's gift blessing roll, which does seem to be different to consecrate logic from extremely scarce observation ie EGs and milks seem to roll T4s way more often than consecrate does

#

is gone

#

also, i personally have had a lot of luck with the blue strategy when i was chasing T4s, that is buying brunts or white and ideally greens from the store and just leveling to blue

#

got power cycler that way

#

but ymmv

haughty pelican
#

I have thought about going that route as well, i'll def continue to collect items with potential

strange kiln
#

well for me it's purely opportunity cost, like if you find a store green that's okay stats that's only like 300 plasteel (-however many points away from 380 it is, a marginal number), while taking one from blue to gold is 1200 more

#

so you could see 4x blues for the cost of one gold

#

if you wanna flesh out your blessings inventory i have had a lot of luck this route, but it might just be that

Whats a good way to get good and do the 100% accuracy penance for sharpshooter?

tough epoch
#

I'll just sit and wait in the case that Fatshark ever tweaks it to be easier lol

strange kiln
#

bring a revolver and play normally. near the end of the level, ideally one with infinite spawning hordes, completely magdump your gun except one magazine into the ground, then alt tab out and flicker your network connection in windows on and off so you disconnect and reconnect. immediately fire all your shots into the horde, hit with all of them, take out your melee and get to the ship

#

you need cooperative teammates to do this, and i've heard some similar techniques, but afaik this still works. the game checks how many times you've hit since it started tracking ie when you replaced the bot

#

allegedly you can do this at any time if you switch to melee and keep it out and never look at your gun, but pain in the butt

that is not a penance you can farm without losing your mind. just keep playing and it will come to you eventually. maybe. a few years from now.

#

do the smelter mission, any difficulty i think i got it in malice. easier with bad teammates who die. at the very end use the flamer, not the purge, there, in particular try and clump up and try and get nice enemy density ie they'll come from in front of you and both sides so back up so that your density is hitting all three. you'll get it.

#

it sounds toxic but ping right at the back and try and get your teammates to melee instead of using their grenades and also slow down a second, let yourself get just a lil overwhelmed

I don't really think the devs will help as much as players will so ill ask here does anyone know why I'm having horrible crashing issues on just this game? i am well above specs for this game, I've fixed my worker threads, updated my drivers, fixed the issue the devs said when i looked up this problem (that I may have to many things running in the background). im on windows 11 and i saw people say it runs better on 10 but i really dont wanna change. Sometimes i dont even get an error code and when i do get one it says its a gpu problem but doesnt say how to fix it.

FS've said higher base rating is higher chance at high tier blessings, but RNG is RNG so results may vary

What is the best way at close range to deal with pox walkers and not take damage when it's a chaotic situation. I've tried pushing and then dodge but I still usually take damage, I was only successful a few times

young comet
#

Push shove is pretty much the gold standard besides retreating honestly.

Stun grenades can calm things down to get a lay of the land and Vets can use their special to wall hack and see things coming better. Their frags can also help make space for better maneuvering too if need be.

#

Also high stagger weapons can push them down like the shredder pistol and surge staff

vagrant spade
#

So if I push and then dodge but still take damage what am I doing wrong, is it the bomb ticking sound that I should work with somehow

young comet
#

It's very knacky to be honest. Sometimes they are animation locked and can't be knocked back anymore and sometimes they were too close and the knock back isn't far enough. While it's the standard it should still used as your best last measure instead of your first go to

strange kiln
#

also, a dodge into slide will bring you farther which is more forgiving

vagrant spade

Alright thanks I thought I was doing something wrong. I'm trying to win more with randoms and mostly have problems with pox walker and hounds especially when teammates are down. I didn't know we can dodge into a slide I'll try that thank you.

the safest way to deal with tiktokers is surge staff. it stuns them right out of whatever they're doing and flings them back.

#

but it's a marginal and situational solution. main intended counterplay is push when they light up green flare and jump.

#

alas, it doesn't work all too often, for many unclear reasons.

Hey, does anyone know if your damage to the shield of the final boss in elimination missions can be increased by having a certain perk on the weapon? My guess would be + unyielding damage but not sure if it applies here or it might just be that the shield is its own type with no damage boosting perks.

young comet
#

I think they are unyielding but I swear that shield has some other modifier

latent girder
#

the boss's shield has a damage cap it can take per attack

young comet
#

Aaaaah makes sense why melee ends up being the strat then

#

Just keep clapping against the shield until it's cheater juice runs out

candid gyro
#

the shield also has innate 50% resistance to all ranged damage

tepid skiff
#

chain weapon specials work best vs void shields. since it takes more melee damage + caps damage per swing, but they do damage in a bunch of small hits, so get through more efficiently.

coral violet
#

Wish i could "bleed" the shield with those too

fervent ridge
#

Eviscerator vs void shield is a kind of sex I cannot compare anything else to, you can 100-0 his shield in like 2 revs

#

No other weapons do that so arousingly, honestly it even makes up for Evis being a relatively mid weapon in general

Agri braced auto is the best model

#

Graia is very very mid, you're better off saving your Melk coins

tepid skiff
#

you should, by all means, buy every good base you see in regular shop, since dockets are more or less free, and use those to familiarize yourself with different models.

#

but melk shop is for creme de la creme only, like desired t4 blessings, and pristine stuff with ALL good rolls.

warm nebula
#

How do we feel about gambling on grays in Brunt’s Armory?

#

Is it a viable path to a decently strong weapon? Or are you too likely to get two bad blessings/perks?

ornate compass
#

The mean appears to be 340. Usually I end up spending 200k before I get anything above 360.

#

It’s certainly viable but just don’t expect to get what you want right away.

warm nebula
#

I guess if you haven’t found anything better, it’s a way to guarantee a minimum power. Or… it does what it was designed to do, let you play with a certain weapon if you never get it in the random shops

ornate compass
#

I’m confident that’s the primary purpose. It was miserable to wait a week just to find a bolter before and atleast now you can find what you want even if it isn’t perfect.

#

The cash really flows in if you’re regularly running Danmation missions but I’d generally recommend finding a proper group here in the Discord rather than using Quickplay for that difficulty. Lotta inexperienced players have been queuing up for it lately trying to cash in on the updated material drops. 800 plasteel in 20 minutes is a breakneck pace compared to what it was before.

tepid skiff

might luck out in just several hundred K, but don't bet on it.

oh, and 5K+ steel too, of course.

That sounds like “not viable” to me

Why yes, that bar is so low that ants would have trouble crawling under it…

rigid wasp
#

what are the best perk/blessing combo for the MG XII Lasgun? Is that still the best one overall?

coral violet
#

Flak + Maniac/Elite, Headhunter + Deadly Accurate or Opening Salvo + anything you managed to roll that isnt infernus/falter/no respite

latent girder
#

no respite is actually better then a lot of options for it

coral violet
#

well yeah its in better than nothing territory

tepid skiff
#

it's straight up 20% damage for most dudes that warrant that buff.

#

since they get whacked hard with the first shot, especially ulted, which doubles the ranged stagger.

latent girder
#

i'd rather have no respite then headhunter

#

it's also sometimes

#

more then 20% damage

#

so that's pretty neat

tepid skiff
#

it's the 2nd best option for damage after the opening salvo itself, i think.

latent girder
#

yeah

tepid skiff

ghost is a more well-rounded defensive tool, so usually preferred, but eh.

you can always uninstall as a form of protest. but otherwise yeah, it happens. not that often, thankfully.

I have never heard of it happening after successfully completing a mission

i'd definetly have to cool down on the game for a couple days if I had that happen to me

Anyone happen to know what the max +Toughness% is for Curios?

thats current practical limit because of roll limits but the max value is like 20 i think and 25% for health even tho we can currently only get 21% (health)

lapis spindle

ah, so those're arbitrarily capped, like 80% bars for weapons?

lapis spindle

also, dude when did they buff material gain

tepid skiff

no, 16% toughness is the practical maximum currently. 17% can happen, but extremely rare.

when gearing up, aim for 16% bases.

what passed for crafting in this game is a pure gamble, so the only way to do get something is to throw many attempts at it. get all good bases, up them all to blue since it's somewhat cheap, see if you luck out.

Which one is better? Have t4 headtaker/bm for the first 2

weak tinsel
#

The one on the right needs an NSFW tag.

#

Psyker or Zealot doesn't need any +infested to one shot hordes so those rolls are great, thrust should bring down bulwarks and reapers in three shots (two with a bit of help) and the extra carapace is gravy.

For the Lorenz Kickback, is Blaze Away* interrupted if I hold my right-mouse button to aim down sights (make the gun crosshair smaller in-game) the moment after I reload or only works with hipfire?

*Up to +10% Power based on how long you keep shooting. Stacks 5 times.

tepid skiff
#

maybe not the definitive answer you're looking for, but you can install a mod to display blessings effects and see for yourself.

#

i think time window to retain blaze away is too brief to altfire, but maybe there's a way.

no. just wait until raindish fixes it. he's aware of the problem, and said he'll be working on it later, but no specific date.

I'm looking for a certain level 4 blessing for my void staff, so I've been consecrating random void staffs for quite a while now. Obviously, consecrating from Redeemed (green) to Anointed (blue) is much more cost-effective than from Exalted (purple) to Transcendent (orange), but I'm wondering if consecrating to Transcendent has more chance getting rarer and higher level blessings to appear?

strange kiln
#

nobody knows for sure. it's very probable it has a better chance, but it would need to be 3x better to be justified here since you can bring 3 different whites to blue for the cost of a blue to gold

#

4x, if you get a green from the store (most cost effective route)

that's how i got power cycler, eventually

What do the different Mks do for the weapons ? Focus on different stats ?

completely different attack patterns ie how they work

np! all the axes have somewhat similar traits but will have totally different movesets, stats on those movesets, specials etc. the same is true of ranged, although often the difference there is eg if a weapon is high fire rate low damage, the inverse or a medium. or something totally different

urban scroll
tepid skiff
# vast cedar Generally, are wounds considered useful on curios?

it's a measure of your confidence. if you can bet on not going down more often than once per a couple of med stations, then ye, you can make do with no extra wounds. but people who aren't on the top of their fencing game might make more use of 1 wound + whatever else, to have that extra down-and-up capacity.

#

so even if you see others making hi5 runs with 2 wounds total, don't take it personally, judge your own abilities and see which way feels more reliable for you.

#

that said, under no circumstances should anyone take more than 1 wound curio.

strange kiln
#

it's very hard. you really need a decent team to clear and to be contributing

#

the doomsday scenario of multiple snipers or bursters spawning at once happens by default. like the tooltip says you absolutely have to prioritize dealing with spawns and being proactive

#

like, if you can't deal with three poxbursters running at you in a conga line, you might struggle with this mode

#

oh, also, it's the only mode it's totally unsafe to go for the trapped teammate first because she always has a buddy to own you
