I liked having an orange plasma gun with stats around the 50s when I started doing damnation on my vet

[silk kelp]

I see

What perks are good for Curios? Are there like a guide?

[fluid flare]

depends on which difficulty you do on the way there but yeah

[fluid flare]

depends on the class

I would ask in the #psyker-class channel

[silk kelp]

I see thanks!

[rigid wasp]

I did this with some gear I crafted halfway through leveling and just stuck with until I had enough materials to start crafting one with actually good percentages

[silk kelp]

Also can I procrastinate on Curios?

And just focus on 2 decent weapons first?

[rigid wasp]

Yeah, you can just nab a main stat you like and equip it

[silk kelp]

I see, currently I'm on +tough +health +wound

Are there offensive curios?

[fluid flare]

no

[fluid flare]

yeah you can, especially if you're still breaking into heresy. the defensive stats you get from curios aren't super important rn

[silk kelp]

I see, I'm just gonna run with my 3 blues for now

A good sword should help me more

[tawdry path]

How would you grind curios lategame

Ive never gotten one from emperor's reward, can't buy besides requisition, is it time gate or is there some sort of force drop

[fervent ridge]

hourly shop always sells 2 each refresh

[tough solar]

you can run curios themselves that have a higher to chance for emprah gifts to be curios. Maxes out at 60% chance. Then run high difficulty some mods to get golds.

[warm dagger]

Is this good?

sorry for the sudden question as well

[rigid wasp]

Low damage, haymaker and smackdown are both pretty mid

Apology accepted

[warm dagger]

Thx for info 👍

[feral walrus]

which perk should be rerolled with this?

[fervent ridge]

specialist reroll to 25 vs Flak

[silk kelp]

Random question

When doing higher difficulties

If I wipe, I still get to keep all the crafting materials I found right?

[fervent ridge]

You will keep a percentage of it

[silk kelp]

Pain

[fervent ridge]

Not 100% of all picked up mats, but still 200-300 on Damnation

[silk kelp]

I see neat

Sounds more than 50%

[fervent ridge]

Out of a potential 805 plasteel / 300 diamante total payoff

No it's like 30%

[silk kelp]

pain

But yeah, I feel like I'm a bit stuck now

[fervent ridge]

Why's that

[silk kelp]

Malice felt too boring, but I'm having a lot of trouble consistently do Heresy

I'm in China right now, on Asia servers, plus it's Xbox Game Pass, so there aren't that many players

I guess I'm gonna forget about progression and just focus on practicing Heresy a bit

[fervent ridge]

I play in your server as well, albeit on Steam

yea I know what you mean

All the □□□□□□□ names

Honestly I think our region just has worse players in general

[silk kelp]

Yeah, the "hard stuck malice" part that everyone experienced lol

pain

I would however say, it might not be player quality

But simply language barriers

[fervent ridge]

damnation on Asia feels like carrying 3 sacks of potatoes, damnation cross server in EU or NA even with 300 ping on my end everyone are quite competent and I never get to be #1 damage in the team anymore which is a good thing I appreciate

[silk kelp]

Which means people generally prefer not to voice chat, or even type in chat

So like on Asian servers, experienced players often tend to just solo carry anyway

[feral walrus]

is damage vs groaners useful on power sword?

thought killing dogs and mutant would be a bit more useful

[fervent ridge]

Both perks are not optimal, but between the two of them groaner poxwalker is the more useful one since it actually assists you in horde clear which is the main target your psword will touch for 80% of your game, as you are a Veteran and specialists / elites should always be picked off by your ranged weapon and there is no reason for you to get up to them in melee to swing

Like, if you are on Zealot then you have an active way to gapclose vs specialists, but on Vet not only are you a range oriented class, your class ability even highlights and amps up your damage versus these targets using your ranged weapon

[feral walrus]

ah ok ty for the detailed explanation

[fervent ridge]

10 vs horde and 25 vs flak covers roughly 90% of the enemy types that you will come close enough to hit in most games- hordes and jacket bruisers (flak body), helmet bruisers (flak head), black ragers (flak body), maulers (flak body)

[feral walrus]

ok btw that is a good power sword right other than the perks

[fervent ridge]

As for crushers and bulwarks, hopefully you are carrying a bolter or a plasma gun so you have strong anti armor

[feral walrus]

i dont have any good ranged guns yet so running kantrael mk7

with bad stats

[fervent ridge]

Yea it's good, the main stats that you want on psword are Damage, cleave damage and the rest are not too important since you gonna charge your shit up and swing anyways; supercharge is not the best psword blessing (that would be powercycler 4 + slaughter 4) but since it degrades enemy armor it is not a bad blessing either, and at least you have powercycler 3 which is something

^ supercharge means if you hit a dude wearing flak he will lose 5% armor per stack, at supercharge 4 your energised hits reduce enemy armor by 20%

so it's effectively a 'free' 20% damage boost

1 stack of rending is 5% armor reduction, unfortunately they don't tell you this anywhere in the game without you examining the game code yourself

[feral walrus]

i see

[rigid wasp]

I support you seeing

[unique nest]

When an ally spots a special/elite is there a way to lock/auto target that unit spotted ?

[keen veldt]

not through the original game no, maybe a mod? would be hard to implement.

[stoic gazelle]

hi

im new to the game and i kinda wanted to buy any of these two weapons, but im not sure wich one to pick

are any of these two good?

[fervent ridge]

Hello and welcome to Darktide, please save your Melk coins and don't buy these as they have a very low base rating

[stoic gazelle]

i know my game is in spanish, sorry 😂

[fervent ridge]

I can also tell you are not Level 30 yet due to how low these item ratings are

[stoic gazelle]

yeah, im like 19

[fervent ridge]

The real item grind will begin at level 30 when all your items from all sources are +300 base rating

[stoic gazelle]

also thank you

[fervent ridge]

Because you can only get limited amount of Melk coins, you should save them and only buy items with Tier 4 blessings, or very high (360+) base rating, or both

Just play whatever weapon you have right now, and you can worry about building a good weapon with good blessings later once you are 30 and have all of your feats

[stoic gazelle]

alright

but i only have 2k, is it really an ammount to save? because i realized that things get more expensive as you level up

[woeful root]

stuff that requires dockets get vastly more expensive as you level up, though the scale doesn't change much for melk's shop

[fervent ridge]

Ya Melk items will always be in 1k to 3k range, it doesn't scale with level in terms of pricing

Your 2k will still be valuable as a lvl 30

Hence you should save

It is not prone to inflation

[stoic gazelle]

lol

thanks for the help guys

also, the random weapon rolls are worth it or nah?

[fervent ridge]

Never

[stoic gazelle]

it seems the game has too much RNG to actually work

[fervent ridge]

It is a noob trap

[stoic gazelle]

ha, i see

thanks again

[woeful root]

Brunt's armoury is pretty much there as an excess docket dump for level 30s to grind for weapons with a particular base stat and distribution

[prime apex]

Funny enough, Brunt's armoury has reduced the amount of RNG in the game.

Before it's introduction you had to rely on the RNG of the trader actually selling a weapon you wanted.
Found a guide on how to use a Plasma gun properly? Too bad, you don't have a Plasma gun, and there is no way for you to get one right now, so no trying that out for you.
Wanna compare the differences between the three Ripper guns?
Well... maybe in 40 Minutes he has the ripper gun you are missing out of the three. MAYBE...

anyone need help with penances?

[rigid wasp]

Where do you shoot mr tentacle?

[plush gyro]

the chaos demon? if so just the head

[rigid wasp]

Nah the new boss chaos spawn looking ass

[plush gyro]

yea thats what i meant but just shot it in the head and hes pretty easy to stagger

[vivid fox]

RPS was part of the good ones no?

[fluid flare]

RPS wasn't the only outlet that had crossplay in their press release

gamespot also mentioned it

and another journo site i forgot

so, deducing from that, fatshark likely told these sites ahead of time that crossplay was going to be in the patch, and then it ultimately wasn't

for whatever reason

this was the description of the gamespot upload of the rejects unite trailer

which was uploaded almost immediately after being shown at warhammer skulls, so uploaded on behalf of fatshark most likely

still with incorrect (but I think simply outdated) info

[candid gyro]

That's the case theyre prolly within a stone's throw of it being actuality if it was intended for skulls, unless a very fatal error occured

[silk kelp]

I see, neat, seems like cross play is finally in Soon ™️ status

I wonder why is it delayed, was it due to technical reasons or authorization / Steam / Microsoft reasons

I would assume it’s technical since if the deal for cross play isn’t finalized, I don’t think Fatshark will tell media that cross play is in next patch

[silk kelp]

Yeah I think RPS is one of the least drama ridden ones,
Don’t really remember any negative news about them

[fluid flare]

I assume something technical, yeah.

[silk kelp]

Yeah, guy working on it was probably told
“Oh, also after pushing the new map to prod, remember to also turn crossplay on, we’ve already told press that it’s here”
“Wait what but I haven’t even started coding it”
“Cool should be simple, just turn it on, deadline is 28 hours later btw”

[sick pendant]

I'm a bit lost on exactly what the weapon modifiers mean. if a gun does 94 damage, but the damage modifier says "58%", does that mean the damage has been raised from some OTHER starting value up TO 94 damage, or does it mean there is an additional 58% damage bonus on top of the 94 damage?

are both ways I'm possibly reading it wrong?

I feel like I've seen the same weapons, with different % modifiers, but the one with a lower % modifier listed, somhow had the higher numerical damage, so I'm lost. lol

[woeful root]

in your inventory with a weapon highlighted, you can press V to enter their inspect menu

then, you can hover over a stat to see what they scale

in this particular case, this is the chainsword
71% damage means that you'll get 128.4 base damage on your lights as per this equation,

for the most part, the stat modifies will scale some stat of your weapon in a linear way

these two numbers that you see for your light and heavy attacks is the damage that you deal to the first target hit in your cleave

so the game also factors in the First Target stat modifier on ther weapon for that number

[rigid wasp]

Sometimes the weapon can do an oopsie on those, so I like to check the table

If memory doesn't fail me, one of the weapons I use has the vanguard damage listed on a strike heavy, or it was the opposite

[woeful root]

yeah and different attacks potentially having a different damage or distribution, which the game doesn't represent very well at all

e.g., the Deimos will show a large value for its light attack, but it's only the 1st light that has that higher base damage; the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th light has the same damage scaling as the lights of the other force swords

[rigid wasp]

That one

[sick pendant]

I'm glad you said that, because I literally just pulled up a deimos to look at the math, and what you described isn't happening for mine. lol

[silk kelp]

btw does anyone know what happened with yesterday's update?

[rigid wasp]

This one?

It went through

[woeful root]

besides being woefully misleading, I don't notice anything weird with the deimos numbers

[sick pendant]

let me crunch the numbers again and make sure I wasn't dorking something up.

ok, the math is working, I must have dorked a number up the last time.

so when folks are saying to find base weapons to upgrade with "good modifiers", they're not really even saying to look at the % modifier, they're talking about going into the inspection to see how the actual math plays out. or is it always as straight forward as "2 of the same gun, the one with a higher % damage mod will do more damage"?

[fluid flare]

The numbers that show up in item descriptions, or even attack breakdowns, are all sorts of messed up. Best thing to do is to simply take the weapon into the Psykhanium and hit stuff with it. You'll see the actual damage you do.

[woeful root]

for the most part, but there are stat modifiers like Stopping Power which affects how much damage you deal to each armour type

[fluid flare]

Oh when comparing two different weapons of the same type you can rely on the modifier %s to accurately reflect the relative differences between the two. But some weapons have multiple stats that affect their actual damage output, like penetration and first target.

The "light attack damage" number on the weapon's card, before you start inspecting actual stats and attack breakdowns, is really just a suggestion. Some kind of calculated average of the weapon's stats that Fatshark (erroneously) believes represents its functioning.

[sick pendant]

gotcha. ok. that's enough tools to get me back into things. Thanks all.

[rigid wasp]

Speaking of, question

[rigid wasp]

If I get a number on the table that is higher than the damage value listed on my percentage, is it actually the base damage and everything below it is rending, or is it me dealing over 100% damage to that enemy? And how does rending behave in the case of the latter?

[woeful root]

it's just you dealing >100% damage to the armour type

[rigid wasp]

Does rending somehow reduce that back to 100%?

[woeful root]

in fact, you can see that represented in that stat card for stopping power above

[rigid wasp]

Oh yeah, true

[woeful root]

i'm pretty sure it doesn't?

there was an old bug related to rending that I forgot the specifics about

[rigid wasp]

I assume near and far don't get reflected on the damage table?

[woeful root]

I think rending did used to reduce your damage if you dealt >100% damage to the armour type

apparently not

the damage table seems to take the near values

[woeful root]

yeah that issue was fixed

the fact that it did used to do that is still funny though

[rigid wasp]

based

[tiny ferry]

Did resource drops just get nerfed into oblivion? I've picked up several and game claims I've got 41 diamantine total 😐

[wet bloom]

Just like how for a while having over 100 toughness resulted in bleed through, with having 200 making you take full damage

Guess they just used the same math

[strong lava]

do blessing upgrade when consecrating or are they stuck

[rigid wasp]

stuck

[woeful root]

yeah, Consecration doesn't change anything existing about your weapon; it simply adds a perk/blessing. So, it is possible to get a bad perk/blessing, and Consecraton has now done nothing to improve your weapon.

[novel lotus]

i got a little problem

i have reinstal it

updated my Geforce

but i still have a black screen

does anybody know how to fix this?

Good lord low level is excruciating

[turbid sun]

Anybody else have an issue with their ingame mic not working?

It picks up on steam and other games, but not darktide.

[hybrid forge]

check your audio settings and check if your on push to talk

[turbid sun]

I have both push to talk enabled. My mic is also functioning properly when tested in steam settings.

[true gust]

My mic on Darktide didn't work until I changed my system default to my mic

otherwise for some ungodly reason it was defaulting to my ps5 controller

[turbid sun]

I'll give it a whirl.

[true gust]

For me there was like, the windows 10 mic settings, then the Actual windows mic settings, like an old style menu where i had to change it for it to work

[turbid sun]

yup. Had to go into system settings and change my default from default to my desk mic.

[true gust]

Glad i could help

[novel lotus]

@sleek kelp could you help me with the problem, or is there some one of something i can make contact regarding my problem that is happening over a year now

[sleek kelp]

Would need to report it on the forums in #bug-reports

Weird bug, never seen that one before

What does Corruption Resistance do?

[tough solar]

Random question for anyone who's used the solo mod, can you make progress towards penances in those games? I've been stuck on 19/20 dodges for that one penance for ages and haven't been able to get it because of people joining and killing stuff.

[rigid wasp]

Reduces corruption from beasts, poxwalkers, daemons and other non-grimoire sources

[woeful root]

interestingly enough, it does work on grims, though I've only seen it work on the initial corruption gained; i haven't tested on the corruption-over-time

[rigid wasp]

I have been fatsharked

[tepid sinew]

game just switched to 600x400 resolution... T_T

[rotund dome]

unless the game is telling me to go f*** myself, how could I play this cleaner?

https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxmXDlorA-lGr5VP4kPVKZmo_DL6SvaJMT

[woeful root]

i guess being extremely paranoid of dogs/mutants + bursters is one way and waiting for the dog first, though I have zero trust in the audio of this game to reliably to do that

or 400iq let your other teammates take the hit

[rotund dome]

My conundrum for this was that if I dodge again for the burster, I'd have been out of melee range to bonk the dog out of the way

and would've been screwed in that way

[woeful root]

yeah, it was a pretty good reaction to immediately follow up with that swing

i think you would've gotten hit by the burster no how quickly you tapped dodge again because of the dog pushing it forward

[rotund dome]

True

I don't mind taking damage when it's inevitable from ranged fire, but when it's a niche scenario like this I still want to get cleaner so a little thing like this doesn't potentially domino

[woeful root]

i guess just pray that the burster comes to you first before the dog needs to be dealt with, or the dog comes to you first before the burster needs to be dealt with

in this situation, maybe you could've waited for the dog, though it's a bit sketchy with your teammates around

[rotund dome]

especially if they add a T6 diff like Vermtinide Cataclysm+

[woeful root]

bursters becoming instakills

maybe relying on a push as a followup instead of a swing, though that's also sketchy; I think this situation is very lose-lose unless you have some muscle memory built for it

[rotund dome]

Yeah

I'm only stressing over it because it's skirting the line of impossible and avoidable

or was this the best case scenario of a bad double whammy

[woeful root]

at the very least, it didn't blow up on your team

and you didn't get hounded

and no enemies were around to beat the crap out of you after your toughness got peeled

though they would've gotten pushed away by the burster explosion even if there were enemies around

[glossy solstice]

dodge slide

couldve gotten more initial distance before the push attack

[rotund dome]

https://tenor.com/view/noted-meme-but-looney-tunes-gif-22310685

[glossy solstice]

this game is particularly cruel when it comes to anything to do with disablers

[rotund dome]

it's just annoying cuz it's a niche scenario that feels like

[glossy solstice]

i instinctually dodgeslide whenever i go backwards because sometimes the game will move you back to where you were standing before the first dodge

or will decide that enemies don't actually move the way they normally do

[rotund dome]

if you play approaching god tier you avoid by skin of your tooth

but anything slightly less you dun goofed

[glossy solstice]

sometimes no matter what u do the game just kinda decides you're dying

[rotund dome]

oh yeah

like shock troop runs where a double pox comes through a door

that you just walked past from turnign a corner

[glossy solstice]

i had a hi5shock game where i got cornered by 2 bulwarks, and 6 bursters all individually start approaching me

the first 2 i shoved did not explode

and then doubled up with the next couple and killed me

[rotund dome]

ah yes

the good ol' haha we forgot to arm ourselves before you pushed

[glossy solstice]

the game really enjoys letting you deal with enemies as normal for a couple hundred hours

and then when you start doing hi5/hi5s you see all the weird janky shit that happens because the game literally does not have enough spawn points for all the enemies it wants to throw at you

and the second you have any kind of ping spike you're almost guaranteed to be killed

[rotund dome]

yes

But it's also to the point that when you play hi5+ that that's about the only things that really screw you

(assuming you have a solid team)

[glossy solstice]

yeah

[gentle rune]

going into Lvl 4 missions (Heresy), would I need gear in the 500 range?

[rotund dome]

no

Skill > Gear to an extent outside of Damnation shock troop

[gentle rune]

got it, a while back I kept doing Heresy missions but team kept going down, not sure if it was because no knew their role

thanks 🙂

[woeful root]

though gear does help especially on weapons with extremely broken blessings

pub teams can be very excruciating

I sometimes would rather pound sand than to ever be with certain teammates

[gentle rune]

broken? like what? I'm not to sure what is good

[gentle rune]

oh for sure

[rotund dome]

brutal momentum on axes

[woeful root]

Slaughterer (+75% max power) is one of them

[rotund dome]

^

[woeful root]

Pinning Fire (+100% max power) as well

[gentle rune]

whoa

[rotund dome]

headtaker on heavy sword

[woeful root]

Power% being damage%, cleave%, and stagger% altogether

[rotund dome]

blaze away/pinning fire on some guns

[woeful root]

so +75% power means +75% damage, +75% cleave, and +75% stagger

[gentle rune]

I like running bolt gun, for bigger guys, think that would be a problem

[woeful root]

running bolter is fine, since you can round yourself out with your choice of melee

at the very least, your team won't ever die from being squished into a corner by a bulwark/crusher patrol

[glossy solstice]

😦 didnt know i was that bad

[woeful root]

i would never say bad words about you of course

[gentle rune]

ok, cool, rn I'm trying to fram for a new bolt gun and upgrade it

[woeful root]

the bolter also happens to be one of the weapons with access to Pinning Fire

[glossy solstice]

[gentle rune]

I think it's great but if I don't have a soild team in the sandbox, then it is a bust lol

[woeful root]

yeah, it is a bit of a clunky weapon

[gentle rune]

also scary when trying to reload haha

[woeful root]

there's also the kantrael shotgun, whose special will shoot out a wave of fire with infinite cleave and a very long range; it won't deal with crushers, but it will deal with bulwarks because it will go through their shields (and everything else under the sun)

[gentle rune]

it's the big guys that I'm more focused on, if they get taken down quicker, then better I think, I have laser and an auto gun but they are not the best at big guys

[woeful root]

this is for Veteran, I'm assuming?

[gentle rune]

yea

sorry, forgot to put class

[woeful root]

yeah, makes sense that you'd want to spec against the big guys esp as vet

[gentle rune]

i thought it made sense, also the bolt gun is so cool lol

[bitter oyster]

What would make for a good roll on a chain axe?

I've been using this power sword for a while and I want something new

[rigid wasp]

Slaughterer and headtaker or thrust, depending on whether you can one-hit mutants (if you go the thrust way) I'd go with maniac and the second perk is kinda whatever to me

[cedar dune]

Guys what mobs are "Maniacs" ?

[woeful root]

dreg rager, mutant, flamers, and trappers

go into the psykanium and smack enemies to see their armour type

[cedar dune]

Guys if i understood correctly this is a good one except the tox flamer reduction? if so what should i roll it to?

[cedar dune]

Also thanks, forgot to say earlier xD was too invested in upgrading

[ornate compass]

health and stam reg are both solid

[leaden quest]

If you don't have it, corruption resist (grims) is nice

[elder heath]

What keybinds would y’all recommend for dodge-sliding? My current setup is the same as default except sprint and dodge are bound to the same key (shift), reload is bound to mouse 4 (so I can strafe right while quelling peril), and weapon alt fire is bound to mouse 5 (not sure if that’s default or not). My mouse doesn’t have any special buttons besides mouse 4 and mouse 5

[woeful root]

i also have sprint/dodge and shift, though my crouch is on 'C'. I have a mod that lets me bind two keys to an action, so I have reloading/quelling bound to 'V' and mouse5

[rigid wasp]

Power maul charged attack, dose it do an AOE blast or only one target ?

[teal hinge]

are some stats more important than others on psyker staffs? Like critical bonus or warp resistance? i'm new to the game and could use some help i don't really know what makes a weapon "good" so i'm not sure what to look out for

[woeful root]

if you're not making use of warp flurry, warp res is fine to dump especially when running Quietude.
For Trauma, you can afford to dump Damage since you can reach breakpoints with either warp charges and/or perks. I like quell speed since I don't run warp flurry on trauma, and it means I only need to quell two ticks from 100% to get a full charge off safely.
For Surge, Crit Bonus can be dumped if you don't make use of the LMB since crits only particularly impact the LMB.

And just as reference, at 80% quell speed from 100% peril, you quell 12.31% peril per tick. At 60% quell speed from 100% peril, you quell 9.57% peril. A tick occurs every 250ms.

[copper parcel]

Do damage reduction perks like Gunner Resistance affect Toughness and Health, or do they only affect Health?

[fervent ridge]

Only health

[strange kiln]

no both?

[fervent ridge]

Oh ok

[copper parcel]

..so uh, which one was it?

[woeful root]

it affects both toughness and health; if you're an unwavering focus vet, you'll notice that you need less toughness to absorb a sniper shot with sniper res

As an aside, damage resistances stack multiplicatively.
So, if you've got 3x 20% sniper res, you'll take (1 - 0.2)^3 = 51.2% damage instead of the 1 - (0.2 + 0.2 + 0.2) = 40% that you would expect if it had been additive stacking. In other words, you get 48.8% damage res instead of 60%.

[copper parcel]

Noted. Thanks!

[elder heath]

What’s the mod called?

[copper parcel]

Can the +1 Stamina perk be different levels? And if so, does it even change anything?

[woeful root]

it can be both t3 and t4; however, t3 and t4 +stamina currently both give +1

[copper parcel]

So pretty much +1 at t4 is just for style points?

[woeful root]

yup

only the coolest of 550 rating weapons will have a t4 stamina perk

[versed flame]

best way to deal with ragers when they are in your face and combo-ing?

I feel like my block gets broken through and I still get hit after back dodging

[woeful root]

ragers' 4-hit combos have a dodge catch that's as long as their hitbox, so your dodges will do basically nothing to them

avoiding them in close range, staggering/killing them before they can get a swing off, distancing them properly & dodging them the moment that they start their combo since their movement speed is slow while in their combo, and having enough stamina to block them are pretty much the ways to deal with them

if you don't have stamina and you get caught by them in close range, it can be very rough; and you're basically relying on either the stamina regeneration from taking damage or waiting until the end of their combo to escape from them

they are usually audible enough, so I stop sprinting whenever I hear their grunts and try not to get rekt by a rager hiding in some damned corner

I run a psyker with no stam curios or kinetic deflection, so I can get punished extremely hard if 2+ ragers get close to me without my paying attention

if you don't have stamina, then you should just take the hits; otherwise, blocking will guardbreak you and potentially get you caught by other enemies. Taking damage when below ~50% stamina will regenerate some stamina which you can then follow up with a block and dodge away.

[versed flame]

thank you!

[fluid flare]

500 hours into the game and I never knew about this mechanic.

[woeful root]

I have had many a undeserved bailouts from this mechanic

[rigid wasp]

I knew about it at 410 hours

I currently have 410 hours and 10 seconds

[woeful root]

imagine getting hit so much that you know about this mechanic

couldn't be me

[fervent ridge]

900 hours and I didn't know this

I just play slower if my stam is in the 10% range and alternate between dodges and stam as two resources so one can recharge while I avoid hits with the other since I noticed if I ever get guardbroken I will get bodied immediately

20 minutes at 165 toughness max health and in 2 seconds i'm on 20 HP

[woeful root]

what is life if you don't overextend to kill poxwalkers in 10 seconds instead of being more patient and killing them in 11 seconds

[woeful root]

also, spoken like a non-psyker smh

[fervent ridge]

I really feel that 2 dodge count on thammer

[woeful root]

what

the hammer only has 2?

[fervent ridge]

It's legit one of the if not the most cumbersome weapon in the game for general fluid melee play

Yea it has 2

You know how many dodges Bolter has

4

The goddamn bolter has 2x the dodge count of the thammer

[woeful root]

bolter is a melee weapon so it makes sense

[fervent ridge]

It's why I swap to bolter in melee if I'm trying to balance stam with dodge count while I shimmy horizontally away from being encircled, the bolter is just twice as mobile

If thammer had 3 dodge it would be much stronger

Just 1 more, that's all we need

[woeful root]

too op

simply asking for too much

[fervent ridge]

I'm playing alot of Evis nowadays and having a greater understanding of stam and dodge as a resource makes it a fun and challenging weapon to use

Maybe evis buffs soon

[rigid wasp]

The game greeted my HH knife vet with an insurmountable quantity of bulwarks

Twice

I should go back to the fucking helbore

Oh wait, this is help

[woeful root]

top 10 reasons why I swapped off vet

yeah it is

[rigid wasp]

HELP, I'M HAVING A FUCKING MELTDOWN

[woeful root]

my advice is to just kill them lemayo

[rigid wasp]

I swear I would bait them to attack

And they were so packed together the shield of one behind would block the headshots

[woeful root]

bulwarks can be so frustrating if there's even one other enemy with them

[rigid wasp]

Game threw a horde just to be sure

And 2 trappers

And a poxburster that I couldn't see coming because the entire frontline was taggable enemies

I'm impressed by my ability to avoid damage for so long, but

[fervent ridge]

My grievances with bulwarks completely changing the dynamic of any engagement by their sheer presence has made running Bolter a must in all T5 games I'm playing to win

Even if the threat is something minor like a bomber or a bunch of ragers, 1 bulwark in the mix and suddenly the threat scales to unmanageable levels

Fuck em shields

[woeful root]

fuck em

[fervent ridge]

Bring bolter, open them up, PF Shattering can kill a bulwark from full in like 4 shots, then with stacked PF you can magdump and kill the other 10 specials in the mixed horde in a congaline behind him

[rigid wasp]

#darktide-pics-vids message ✊ 😔

[fervent ridge]

That one bulwark that just pulled up to fuck you lol

Poor Sterling

[versed flame]

when teammates respawn, is the location they reappear decided by the location of their death or where the remaining teammates are positioned?

[woeful root]

teammates' positions; so if your team moves past a respawn point, then the dead teammate will respawn at the next forward respawn point. There's no worry about a teammate being permanently unrescuable, though this behavior is buggy on some maps.

[weak sleet]

Am I hallucinating, or has Melk's refresh interval for limited acquisition items gone from weekly to daily?

[strange kiln]

shop has always been daily contracts have always been weekly

[weak sleet]

Huh, well, I'm oblivious

[slowpoke meme]

[fervent sandal]

What happens if you agro a daemonhost and the rest of your team continues on?

After it kills you, will it teleport waaaaay far ahead to one of your teammates or is there a distance cap for teleporting?

[tough solar]

i'm pretty sure it has to kill 2 people or 2 people have to die when its aggroed, so it will probably teleport all the way forward. the maps are kind of sections due to the doors / event triggers, so you won't get too far.

[haughty fiber]

Are blessings from surrendered items consumed once they're used on a different weapon?

[woeful root]

once earned, blessings can be infinitely used (besides the plasteel/diamantine cost of re-blessing weapons)

the only strict limitation is that a blessing earned from one weapon family can only be used within that same weapon family

e.g., combat axe blessings for combat axes only and not tactical axes, headhunter infantry blessings for headhunters only, trauma staff blessings for trauma staffs only

[haughty fiber]

That's good to know. Thank you for the info.

[keen palm]

how can I clear this glowing dot indicating I have new cosmetics not yet reviewed, when i've already selected through all cosmetics i've owned? It's now occurring across 2 characters of different classes

[rigid wasp]

https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/51/

[keen palm]

thanks, thought i'd have to delete my characters. maybe devs will fix this bug eventually

[weak sleet]

I'm torn between hoping that the mods will help FS prioritise what issues bother players and need to be fixed - and worrying that it will reduce their sense of urgency to do so when there are fixes or workarounds made by modders. But in any event yes, I hope they do patch it out, it's an annoying one

[tawdry path]

what does melk mystery aquisition actually give

is it worth the points or am i just hoarding until more good stuff pops up on the daily

[strange kiln]

it's extremely not worth the price

[karmic iris]

It's always crap ye

[cedar dune]

Guys is the mutant affected by "25% damage (unarmoured enemies)"

[strange kiln]

no

[fervent ridge]

Mutant is maniac

his entire body

You'll want a bonus vs Maniac perk on your weapon to do more versus him

[strange kiln]

if you go into the firing range and hit a target they will tell you what kind of armour type it is - unarmoured, flak, carapace, maniac, unyeilding buh I think that's it

these are mutually exclusive, although specialists and elites are different and you can get a bonus to both IE unarmoured and specialist at once

oh infested

[rigid wasp]

Depends on the location you hit some of them too, like the reapers having a shoulder and hands as carapace

[cedar dune]

Guys if i rebless a weapon with a tear 1 blessing, can i later bless again if i get a higher tier?

Or like, can i bless the same gun more than once

[woeful root]

yep; reblessing a weapon only locks the other blessing slot

[cedar dune]

Oooh alright thanks!

[woeful root]

re-blessing can be infinitely done on that one blessing slot as long as you have the diamantine/plasteel for it

[cedar dune]

Yea i read what u said above a minute ago and im surprised xD thought i had to re-farm the same blessing if i want it on another wep

[woeful root]

yeah back before they released the reblessing system, I was worried about that too

that would be proper painful having to farm for that

[cedar dune]

That's a huge relief :D

One more question though, can i use a blessing i found on my veteran to my zealot? or do i have to farm 1 on each character?

[woeful root]

blessings are account-wide thankfully

so a t4 brutal momentum that you earned on veteran can be used on your zealot

[cedar dune]

And i've been farming shovels for a 2nd brutal momentum.... xd

Thanks a ton for the info that's really useful

[woeful root]

too bad zealots don't have shovels

[cedar dune]

that's... 1 more thing i know now

[dim oasis]

is there anyway to get a good amount of plasteel, or is it just play the game a lot kind of thing? I always seem so short on it.

[fervent ridge]

What difficulty are you currently playing on

Damnation is the hardest- but also best- way to farm because you can get up to 805 per run, and usually at least 600+ every run even if you aren't checking every nook and cranny

[dim oasis]

I play on heresy usually

So yeah just gotta get into damnation

[woeful root]

plasteel on damnation is nigh doubled that of heresy

[karmic iris]

Damnation is also about the same difficulty if you know what you're doing

You get way less folks jumping in underlevelled

[orchid heron]

So i expirince micro studders on a high end PC, does anyone know if its known issue or anything? i do have everything sett to off or low

[hard cloak]

Finally, can use my lacerate knife from ogryn to zealot

[hard cloak]

Try adjusting your worker threads in the pre-load settings

The menu before you start Darktide

[thin valley]

So an ogryn can use a zealots one on a non shared weapon if applicable???

[hard cloak]

I assume so, I'll have to check when I get on to play but both of the weapons are combat knives so I'm hoping it can be transferred

Also Sasha 🫡

[thin valley]

Awesome!

[woeful root]

the cleaver is the Ogryn's analog to the combat blade, but they don't share blessings since they're different weapon families

[hard cloak]

Ohhh right, thanks

[rigid wasp]

Ngl played a heresy match assasination and my team and I left with about 1k

plasteel

[elder heath]

been trying to get this to work and it just will not load properly like the other mods ive used what did you do to get this working?

[woeful root]

the ability to bind multiple keys to a single action isn't in the mod menu; it's in the Keybindings menu of the game's native option menu

it quite literally adds a second field for you to bind a key to

[elder heath]

no i mean when i start up my game I get an error message saying that there are missing files or that the mod loader order couldn't find it

[woeful root]

o

[elder heath]

I've tripled checked that it's spelled right, and i have the file there and everything

[woeful root]

In my case, I didn't have to do anything different than the other mods to install it

[elder heath]

does the mod loader list have to be alphabetical? that might the issue

[woeful root]

nah

if you double-click into the MultipleKeybinds folder, does it look like this?

[elder heath]

ye

[woeful root]

and the other mods work fine?

only after the installation of MultipleKeybinds did it break?

[elder heath]

not sure what ui extension even does but it doesn't give me an error message

[woeful root]

ah ui extension

you'll want to uninstall it if you have one of the newer versions of scoreboard

since that's no longer required

and iirc, it was causing issues for people before

[elder heath]

ui extension is the only other mod I have

so do I no longer need it?

[woeful root]

ye

it's depreciated now

[elder heath]

do I need to replace it with anything or nah

[woeful root]

nay

it'll be fine to remove it completely

[elder heath]

still not working

in the mod load order I just put "MultipleKeybinds" right?

[woeful root]

ye

can you screenshot your mods folder

[woeful root]

looks right to me

o, you've got a typo

[elder heath]

[woeful root]

'mulipe' instead of 'multiple'

Any Appropriate Chat to talk about the Fact the New Psyker Cosmetic Literally has its Lower Cloak Attached to the Leg Skeleton so it dosnt have Proper Physics to breeze around like everyone Elses Outfit? and That this Really needs to be Fixed as it is really Ruining a really cool Chest piece for Psyker?

This Chest, the Lower Health is Attached to the Leg Skeleton, meaning every time you Run, it Folds in on itself and ruins a Really cool piece

[proud kelp]

what is this for the emperor penance? I can't find it

what category is it in?

[cedar dune]

Hey guys under xp at the mission reward, it says "special conditions", what does it mean? i know we get extra for grims/scripts but their column was 0.

[rigid wasp]

Modifiers. Hi/low intensity, hunting grounds, etc etc

[orchid heron]

I have bought some skins, i dont enjoy in the game becouse they irrtate me, is there anyway to refund it into the ingame currency?

[cedar dune]

Cool thanks!

[rigid wasp]

Oh Yeah, I Noticed That Too And It Felt Kinda Bad

It reminded me of older games that did that to save resources on physics simulation or because they outright didn't have them for clothing

Which is weird considering how many dangling bits we have on outfits in this game

[woeful cliff]

Hey, does anyone know if "+x% corruption resistance" counts towards grimoires as well or does it need to be the modifier that specifies grimoires?

[woeful root]

I know for certain that it affects the initial corruption that you gain from the grimoire, but I haven't tested if it affects the corruption-over-time

[woeful cliff]

Got it, appreciate the help!

[woeful root]

just tested it; the general corruption res does affect the corruption-over-time

so I guess the benefit of the grimoire-specific corruption res is just that the bonus is larger (20% at t4 compared to 15% at t4 for the general corruption res)

[glossy solstice]

couldnt u also stack them on the same curio

for mega grim resist

[woeful root]

that too

so i guess if your teammates don't have numericui, you can pretend to have a lot of hp

[woeful cliff]

just trying to figure out if i should run it at all, just feels like there are stats that would be better, like its cool but feels pointless

[woeful root]

if you don't run HP and know that you're going into a grim mission, then maybe
Outside of grim missions, corruption is barely a threat at all.
I'm personally too lazy to swap my curios out when doing grim missions anyways.

[carmine sedge]

does anyone know how mods can work with geforce now

[coral violet]

You cant access local files on whatever server runs it for you so it cant run your mods

[ocean cobalt]

They don't

[livid crane]

Can someone please explain to me the conditions? A few hours ago there was the lights out and now, it has disapear? When will it come back? Is it random ?is there a condition rotation ? Or a time table ?

[tough solar]

there seems to be a global condition that gets applied periodically, like lights out, hunting grounds, vent purge, shock trooper gauntlets etc... and these can then stack with other additional conditions like intensity levels or each other. I believe there is a kind of daily rotation for the main condition but what maps those conditions are on and which other conditions they are paired with is random.

[livid crane]

Feels bad

I dont get to play a lot with my friends it's hard to organise ourselves. We want to try some map with power outrage but everytime i see it happens it disapear.

[tough solar]

i think a lot of people both in here and in the community in general share your sentiment.

[ornate gazelle]

The sight reduction global conditions appear a bit rarer to give them a bit of an event status, I think. Also they affect gameplay quite a bit.

Dogs, Snipers and so on are more common, but also appear on fewer maps iirc

Rotating maps and conditions has the advantage that you get to play everything at some point, while keeping queue times short

[rigid wasp]

I shit you not, the game has been stuck on hunting grounds for months

I thought I was the only one to notice it

It goes to lights out for a few minutes, you do a lights out mission and come back to fucking hunting grounds again

It's driving me crazy and I see almost no one talk about it

I feel like Fatshark is gaslighting me

[livid crane]

I wish we had a clear rotation of conditions instead of pure randomness.

[tawdry path]

Lights out is pretty insane actually but fire effects look so good

[cedar dune]

Guys is there a base chance to get a curio as a mission reward?

None of my curios have a 15% curio chance but i still got one

[rigid wasp]

There is, but it's really low

[lavish spire]

is buying random weapons from the quest vendor worth it?

and does he always only offer melee weapons?

[tough solar]

nah it definitely isnt worth it

[candid gyro]

If it’s melk don’t buy random stuff

[rigid wasp]

Not worth it, he just scams you

[lavish spire]

Okay that's kinda what I figured

[candid gyro]

Melk’s there to occasionally give you 3 and 4th tier weapon blessings you want/need

[lavish spire]

I just hit 30 and got a couple good melee weapons from him

can't seem to find a good ranged though

[ornate gazelle]

Melk also has ranged. Might take some time though. But I got some nice guns from him. Even better if 1 perk and blessing are what you want, as you can reroll the other.

The normal vendor actually isn't bad. A 320 base power weapon with some perk you like will serve you well. Going for unarmored and/or flak extra damage is ok

The normal vendor is also nice to look out for grey and green weapons with good base power. Even 370-380 is possible

And the cheapest way to "grind" for blessings is to get green weapons in the store and update them once at hadrons. That normally gives you a T3 blessing, sometimes even T4

[lavish spire]

Oh thanks. I've got a few melee at 375+ base already that I upgraded. Best ranged I've got is a flamer at 365.

[ornate gazelle]

That should serve you on all difficulties

[tawdry path]

How often is laspistol actually proccing burn if it's only on crit? Isn't base crit 5%?

[keen palm]

is there a cap on sprint effiency?

[woeful root]

i don't believe so
but it may or may not stack multiplicatively instead of additively

since the other reductive perks like corruption res, block efficiency, and damage resistances stack multiplicatively

[true gust]

Weapons have their own base crit chance that stacks additively with the class your playing.
Everyone has 5% base except vet, who has 10%
Then weapons will have a modifier, i believe laspistol has 15%, while something like autopistol has -2%

[rigid wasp]

Laspistol has a wacky crit modifier

[true gust]

i think combat knife is 20-25% base

[keen palm]

so laspistol > bolter?

[true gust]

Well, building for crit only gets you 25% extra damage every time you crit, so it's not really worth building for currently

Getting a 25% boost to damage against something is essentially the same as giving yourself 100% crit chance against it, plus your additional base crit chance still being able to proc

I think bolter is -2% also

[rigid wasp]

Laspistol wouldn't dare beat a bolter, it's just a really good weapon within its own niche

[tawdry path]

Was mostly curious about if it's actually enough to try to build around the burn

[true gust]

Not really, unless you're using a flamethrower, burn doesn't really affect anything besides Unyielding. But it also depends what difficulty you normally play on

I'd it's just malice, sure, could be a fun build, won't hurt anyone to try

but up in damnation it's not really worth it

[cedar dune]

Is there a chart that tells which mob has what type of armor?

[woeful root]

here's one by commissartyr #psyker-class message

[sterile sundial]

If you look it up through google, there is a site that lists it. Not sure how accurate it is. But its been right on weak points.

[tawdry path]

Yeah I'm looking for more interesting stuff to mess with heresy+

[sterile sundial]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/enemies/crusher

[true gust]

Well, at that point it depends on how good you are at the game. sure, having good weapons helps, but it's totally possible to get through the game with greys

[tawdry path]

Laspistol suits exactly what I was looking for

Fast, isn't miserable vs flak, options for ranged vs unyielding with infernus, helped shave ~2 min off my last few runs

[true gust]

And there's even evidence of two new laspistols in the game files

[cosmic sail]

So people often run those at around 2.9GHz

[sleek compass]

[worthy swan]

Hello Darktide community. I would like to request your assistance. My friend has been passionately documenting the name of all the NPCs in The Morningstar and their dialogs/interactions, but there is one missing and no matter how many hours we spent, this NPC just does not talk.
So if anyone knows his name, it would be much appreciated.
||I also posted this in #general-chat but screen shots do not work there||

[true gust]

It might make sense they don't talk, since they're so close to an important npc. I think your best bet might be to ask catfish or hedge and see if they can scrounge up the name from the fatshark offices

Oh wait, i mistook where he was standing, i have zero clue why they don't talk now lmao

here, we'll see if @hallow hornet can find out

[worthy swan]

i don't think we are supposed to ping the CM team :\

[true gust]

Hank gets to do it all the time, i deserve a little treat

(also she might be on vacation idr)

[devout dust]

so uhh

why do i have network issues every match?

[cedar dune]

What's the difference between elite and special mobs?

and what are they?

[true gust]

Elite mobs are generally upgraded enemies that follow the same rules as regular shooters and poxers/groaners
Those are:
Scab and Dreg Ragers
Scab and Dreg Gunners
Scab and Dreg Shotgunners
Scab Maulers
And the Ogryn Reaper, Bulwark and Crusher

Specialists usually play by their own set of rules different from others, and tend to either incapacitate, or deal heavy damage
Those are:
Bombers
Snipers
Mutants
Flamers
Tox Flamers
Poxbursters
Pox Hounds
And Trappers

Then there's boss monsters called Monstrosities, you'll know em when you see em.
Those are:
Daemonhosts
Plague Ogryn
Beasts of Nurgle
Chaos Spawn
and technically Scab Captains count too, even though those are just guys

[true gust]

Hope that helps!

[cedar dune]

That's the best i could've asked for! Thanks a lot

[pliant sequoia]

Have also never heard him talk, wondering if it’s because he doesn’t have a face covering like the rest? Nonetheless, will keep my eyes peeled for a name for the guy.

[hallow hornet]

I'll look into it!

[true gust]

Thank you!

[wispy plume]

is thunderhammer still good?

[tawdry path]

Yes

[rugged lintel]

If you're an Ogryn, use a shield or don't play Ogryn.

shield is very bad. hopefully it will get reworked

well, if I had to pick anyone for naming the unnamed guard, it'd be the person cataloging all of their names in the first place, @worthy swan 's friend

[worthy swan]

that would be amazing, but i doubt it would happen. thank you for your help on this

No problem, glad to help

[hallow hornet]

I can suggest a name to the relevant department if you have something you want to nominate?

[worthy swan]

I wouldn't dare, but @onyx ivy is the one who has been *passionately * cataloging all the names, so they should be the ones to make the suggestion.

[rigid wasp]

Operative Warhammer

First name John

[quick remnant]

Private Devlin sound nice

[onyx ivy]

😂 I figured Molsk might just be getting procc'd when I walked up to the guy, so learning he doesn't actually have a name is hilarious but unexpected. I'm not very good at naming things, but Operative Devlin leaves me cackling for a variety of reasons that are mostly injokes with my friends, so if that's allowed, I'll happily lend the name to him. 👍

[bold token]

Is one of them voiced by Matt Ward?

[sly minnow]

would anyone be up for walking me through how to do mods? i keep hearing everyone talk about them but i have absolutely no clue how to do them and feel bad always asking for screenshots of the end game info

[rigid wasp]

Sure, just a sec

Basically the normal way is kind of annoying and you have that text file crap and I just don't like it

So what I do instead is use Nexus mods, its Vortex mod manager and this plugin https://github.com/Darktide-Mod-Framework/Darktide-Vortex-Extension

The instructions in the github cover the modding part well

You download the ZIP, go to the extensions, drop it there

on games you find Darktide

in mods you drop the ZIP files you download from Nexus at the bottom

in load order you check the boxes for them and click the "deploy mods" at the left corner of the orange bar on the top

some mods have dependencies, like the first few mods on the list, and also the order in which they're deployed is the order in which they show on the mod menu in-game, so I put the stuff I fiddle with the most on the top, like the reroll for rarity that needs me to change the type of perk I want, or crosshair remap where I try out new crosshairs

the mod dependencies should be fine because when you download a mod that needs one of them on Nexus, the mod page will warn you it also needs X other mods to work

[unreal aurora]

16th, then every other week, so probably 30th?

hey guy question when i buy a random lets say bolter from a shop does it stats scale with my level or i can get max 80% roll from level 1 or is it locked only for the weapons u unlock later

[fervent ridge]

The stats you get it when you buy are the stats it is gonna remain at forever

Base rating does not change

You can only upgrade up to 2 perks, lock 1 and reroll 1

Upgrade up to 2 blessings, lock 1 and reroll 1

The perk you chose to reroll can then be rerolled infinitely, becoming free to reroll after the 19th reroll

The blessing you chose to reroll will still cost plasteel or diamante to rebless regardless of how many times you rebless it

[ancient lark]

hey all what determines the base level of guns you purcahse from brunt?

[void forge]

your character's level

max base stats are 380

need to be level 30

and they are pretty rare

[ancient lark]

to get to at least 480 w/ both blessings and bot perks, id need 380 min base?

[woeful root]

two t4 perks give 50 and two t4 blessings give 120, so 310 base at the minimum

either way, the overall rating of your weapon doesn't matter if the perks and blessings on it are bad

[ancient lark]

ok so i should aim for 345+-35 and try to get t4+ perks/blessings? blessings you can get from subpar weapon drop+good perk and the guy with the weekly contracts right? how about good perks?

[rigid wasp]

Aim for good modifiers, independent of the weapon's rating

[strange delta]

[frosty pulsar]

Am I able to try and get the Malleus Monstronum penance in a private game with just myself and a friend? Not tried private games yet, do they give you AI? If they do, does their damage of the monstrosity ruin the ability to get the penance?

[woeful root]

private games are still online; just that other players can't matchmake into your game.

yes, their damage will ruin getting the penance. I recommend killing off the bots so that they also do not deal damage to the boss

so as long as you meet the condition to start a private game (being in a strike team with 1 other person), you can start a private game and accomplish malleus monstronum

in fact, malleus can only be gotten in a private game

[rigid wasp]

What is the max base score for a weapon ?

[copper parcel]

380

Additionally each individual stat goes up to 80%

[fervent sandal]

What's the best way to farm T4 perks for Hadron? Upgrade gear to blue and scrap?

[tough solar]

if you're just farming for t4s and not worrying about getting a weapon with a good base and a t4, then grab good base greys/greens in the main shop + roll them in brunts then upgrade them to blue. You can also take any blues from main shop/purple emprah gifts you get and upgrade those to gold as long as they don't have the blessing you're looking for.

[worthy swan]

is it possible that some items on the builds found on darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/ are outdated? for instance is possible for curio to give 20% toughness and roll cooldown reduction?

[rigid wasp]

Yeah, some stuff isn't consistently maintained

All curios can roll up to 4% cooldown reduction

I think toughness goes up to 16 or 17

[fervent ridge]

17 for toughness

21 for health

3 for stamina

4 for cooldown on ult

1 for wounds

Yea that's about it

[molten pawn]

When it comes to seeking a weapon with the best possible stats, assuming a level 30 character, is the ongoing strategy to buy profane equipment and then upgrade them, or buy pre-upgraded equipement from Brunk/Malek?

[rigid wasp]

Depends on what upgraded equipment you can find

If you see something at the armory that's blue or green with good modifiers, for example, you can buy it to see if you get a good perk or blessing, since they usually have really shit ones by default

Melk occasionally will give you something nice and most of his items are orange, so you'll already have most of the work done for you

[molten pawn]

So far it feels like most of the pre-upped equipment has only Tier 1/2 perks whereas if I upgrade a green I frequently end up with a Tier 3, which kinda surprised me.

[rigid wasp]

Yeah, that's why I only check those for the modifiers and try my luck at upgrading them

[ornate gazelle]

I agree. @molten pawn Check Melk for a good weapon with a perk and blessing you like. You can then craft the other perk and blessing to your wishes

Brunts actually tends to have some nice grey and green weapons as crafting stock sometimes

Personally, I think you best improve weapons iteratively. Just get yourself a workhorse weapon with decent damage and upgrade it with the perk and blessing you like most on it.

And then simply do window shopping now and then to see if something better comes around

[molten pawn]

Yeah. Fortunately I've fared OK in general and most of the time I give equipment a passing glance. I don't get into the nitty gritty of each damage breakdown aside from checking if the damage numbers are real or fake (aka, something with a huge heavy damage... because the first attack is a Strikedown) I find that most of the time the modifiers are just a few % from each other, which is nice.
In general I'm less attracted to the stats and more to the weapon type itself. On a Psyker I won't really consider anything outside of a Surge Staff, so I'm willing to grab one with bad stats if that means I can Palpatine my enemies.
Right now I'm spending most of my $ collecting and surrendering weapons to build a blessings bank.

[ornate gazelle]

Agreed. Sometimes the stats matter quite little. Like 9% difference in damage stat with the auto pistol is like ... 2 damage points.

Personally, I suggest trying out the voidstrike staff. If you charge the bolt, it almost hits like a grenade. Quite nice against everything 🙂

[molten pawn]

I've tried the other staffs... in truth, I feel that I'm more credit to team with the surge one. Using it, I can basically stunlock anything in front of me, and then my teammates have easy targets that don't fight back. So that makes me interested in good Peril stats so I can spam the zapper for as long as possible.

Hey peeps! What blessing would I be looking for to replace Trauma here? Also it's the first time I get a natural double level 4 perk weapon from hadron upgrades

[grizzled panther]

I would try rampage for blessing and either maniac or unarmoured instead of melee weak spot.

[rigid wasp]

Infested on the claw makes me MOIST

I like making sure it kills lower enemies as best as possible

[carmine sedge]

difference betwen scab and dregs?

still cant tell unfortunately

[fervent ridge]

Dregs are the mustard coloured dudes wearing rags, those are your in-world chaos cultists

Scabs are the green/grey flak-armored enemies of the traitor Moebian 6th with the green glow-in-the-dark eyes and helmets, those are your traitor Imperial Guard

[carmine sedge]

ahhh

got it

tysm

could never tell what it meant with the contract

[cedar dune]

I bumped my FidelityFX from ultra performance to Balanced, and i haven't crashed since. Would it be part of the crash issue or is it completely unrelated coincidence?

Felt weird to me that less fps = less crashes xD

did 9 matches total so far, 4 before change and crashed on 3 of them. and 5 after and crashed in none

[strange kiln]

no. all the stats in this game, like weapon stats, only go up to 80% right now

so toughness would have a max of 20, but you're only getting 80% on a max rolled curio which rounds up to 17%

likewise hp would have a cap of 25, but it's 21 because of the 80 percent rule

[hallow bloom]

need some help whit the penance ON Overwatch, anyone care to help me out ?

[lilac lagoon]

hey guys the Perk Fullbore (15% more Power when every pellet hits the same time) on shotguns worth it? an does it count when you shot the agripina shotgun slug?

[strange kiln]

it's not bad, yes

[tired topaz]

why did I only have 2 wounds on Uprising Elite Resistance

it felt like it was moreso just upping the difficulty instead of enemy health

[tough solar]

currently we think that it's implemented by increasing whatever difficulty modifier is behind the scenes while reducing / modifying enemy spawns.

this also seems to be reflected in the amount of resources you can find on the map

i also just did an uprising match and only had 2 wounds on a vet, so i assume it jumps up 2 difficulties. Would also make sense since I think we got around 400 plasteel which aligns with heresy numbers

[tired topaz]

yeah I was figuring it just did up 2 difficulties
which makes me terrified of those heresy elite resistance missions

and the single damnation one I saw

[tough solar]

something else about this, it seems like the regen on the nurgle pox events in malice with this modifier is as fast as damnation.

[neon zodiac]

are any of these the new maps? sorry i cant post images in general chat

[void forge]

ascension riser is

its the heresy mission and hi int damn on that screenshot

[neon zodiac]

ahh thank you!

[true rose]

i originally had +carapace +infested but i figured since this axe is more tuned for crowds and has infested locked in it would be ideal to match infested bonus with unarmoured to get 25% bonus to hordes? the pox walker bonus only gives 10% as a tradeoff for taking 1 less perk slot, but i'm fine with 2 slots used to get that sweet extra damage

any input on my thoughts? seemed like a good way to round out this axe but wasn't sure if there were other better synergies

[fervent ridge]

unarmored to flak

Majority of enemies wear flak, unarmored is pretty much only shooters, it's not a big enough threat to warrant a whole perk

[true rose]

unarmoured was for groaners

since hordes are a mix of poxes + groaners, infested + unarmoured

but yeah they are a low threat priority

though i am on veteran and don't really use the axe to clear anything with long range

i just swap to gun for that

[rigid wasp]

Groaners have 100 health less than poxwalkers

Flak is good because flak enemies have lower health than their unarmored counterparts and some weapons have mildly inconvenient modifiers for flak

[true rose]

right, yeah, flak it is

[scenic field]

How come, in The Meat Grinder, are some enemies locked and I cannot see them yet?

[fervent ridge]

What level are you at currently

Not all enemies can be seen until you're level 30

[scenic field]

oh, lvl 4

[fervent ridge]

And then you can unlock Damnation Meat Grinder which will show everything short of bosses

Yea you've barely encountered the elites and specials yet, for now you'll only see the basic zombies and some low level grunts

As you play more and encounter enemies you'll add them to your Pokedex and they'll show up in Meat Grinder- it's like Practice Tool in League but you gotta meet those enemy champs to register them in your Collection

[scenic field]

Ok, thanks.

[tame kite]

elite resistance makes enemys have stupidly high defence in only a T3 mission??/ wth is this garbage modi.?? i didnt mean to start the mission so my first exprience was enough to know its trash. headshots with a 2 hander no longer kill zombies? uh no... then its like a rager around every corner and packs of 4 that wont get stunned even from a heavy swing???

[ornate gazelle]

What's your point?

[fervent ridge]

Elite Resistance is currently bugged so that enemies have Damnation levels of resistance but any difficulty with ER also carries Damnation rewards

Until they hotfix it you can load into a Sedition game, finish it in 10 minutes and getaway with 805 plasteel

Most of your game time will be spent looking for Mats

A fair tradeoff for their stupid high bulletsponge makeover

[little coyote]

I was wondering that I didn't really notice anything that severe but I suppose it was because I was playing on Damnation

[fervent ridge]

[scenic field]

What does the right click do on Psyker when you have Brain Burst out? It's raising Peril, but idk what else it does. Is it a block?

[rigid wasp]

It's a precharge

[scenic field]

Oh, that's a thing? Okay, I'll have to figure that out. Also, do Ogryn enemies block Ogryn's Bull Rush? I thought maybe I was cancelling it when I would try to push a Bulwark, but now 'm not sure.

[tough solar]

enemy ogryns do block it if you don't have the unstoppable feat.

[scenic field]

[cedar dune]

What does the "Mission Aborted" error mean? is it game sided or my pc sided?

[fervent ridge]

functions same way to Xerath Q if you tap and hold

Range extends, movement speed slows down, you can hold onto it for 3-5 seconds and then release it whenever

[floral geyser]

Seems to be server-side. My last 3 missions dropped out with this error.

Only had this problem since Patch #11

[past heron]

Anyone know how to keep Darktide from resetting my graphics. It keeps on popping up this and resetting anything I change in graphics. 😮‍💨

It use to allow my GeForce Experience optimize settings to go through with no issue. Now it forces any changes it makes to default and I have to manually change them, every time I login.

[fervent ridge]

Are you playing on an ROG laptop by any chance

[hollow crag]

hi quick question, while leveling is it best to just equip whatever has the highest rating?

[fervent ridge]

Yea, the ideal way would be to just rely on Emperor's gift from each mission and use that exclusively while you're levelling to 30, then selling any weapon of low rating

[past heron]

Na..just a regular desktop.

[frail gyro]

Is Scattershot as bad as it sounds? 5% critchance on hitting multiple enemies - does it stack?

[ornate gazelle]

Feel free to browse the store and upgrade you weapons, even if you will find better ones on your path to level 30.

Buying and upgrading weapons is cheap enough, and malice will later give noticably more loot than the lower difficulties. So there's little reason to starve yourself for a few virtual bucks.

Keep an eye on the damage and ammo stats. A lower power level weapon with more damage might actually be worth it

[rigid wasp]

So I want to make a special/elite/boss slayer is verteran a good way to go? I am currently going with a Helbore Lasgun aproach that seems to be going well but I haven't tested it on high difficulties yet

[quick remnant]

Plasma or Rev with the reload feat iirc.

[rigid wasp]

Really? Okay that's good to know thanks

[rigid wasp]

Depending on your aim you can also rock the agripinaa IAG and MG12

The bolter is stupid good on veteran and one of its main drawbacks (the annoying swap speed) is nullified by the vet's ult

You can also be a buzzkill and use a shredder with blaze away and pinning fire

replace falter with surgical

has anyone noticed a difference in gddr5 vs. gddr6

[strange kiln]

it would be unlikely in most contexts that it would jump out, since they're typically on very different cards. what two are you comparing specifically

[scenic field]

About the Earn Blessing option: Do you have to surrender the exact same weapon to get the blessing, or does it work with 2 different weapons that have to have access to the same blessing?

[strange kiln]

in between. blessings are shared among items of the same weapon family, but no farther. so a rashad combat axe could share with an antax combat axe, but can't share with any of the tactical axes nor the chainaxe

basically if the blessing pool (ie, all available blessings for any given item) is different they never share in part because blessings for different weapons can have the same name and different functionality

[scenic field]

ok Thanks

Do you benefit from your own coherency buff? If you have no allies in coherency, do you still gain your own buff? Do the coherency buffs stack?

[strange kiln]

you always have your own coherency effect, although the effects from feats vary

i know for a fact vet stacks, the others i assume

[scenic field]

would not be surprised about feats varying. 4 Psykers with the 15% ability cooldown reduction would reduce all their wraths by 60%.

[opaque dawn]

r/fuckmyshitup

[scenic field]

What is the differentiation between a Specialist vs an Elite. In the context of the modifiers. Elite Resistance vs. Shock Troop Gauntlet(?)

[fervent ridge]

Elite Resistance spawns Elite enemies like shotgunners / gunners / Ogryn Reapers / bosses with greatly increased health and damage and the basic chaff also gets boosted statlines

Shock Troop Gauntlet increases the frequency and volume of specialist enemy spawns such as the mutant, trapper, bomber, flamer and hounds so that you get waves of 7-9 specialists in a row instead of the usual 1 or 2 at a time, however their health and damage stats remains the same

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1046913589614747719/1118054378054619156/180523_Consignment_Yard_SHOCK.mp4

Trapper - Flamer - Mutant X3 - Hound - Flamer - Trapper X2 (9 specialists) in a single wave, for example

[scenic field]

Okay. I was curious on which units counted. I had played Elite Resistance before but never Shock Trip Gautlet.

[wide flume]

looking for some help since this problem is kind of specific cant really find anything on it. the launcher comes up when i press play on steam but when i go to launch the game from the launcher it does a quick loading bar then nothing happens ive sat for like 30 minutes and steam has the blue stop option still so ive stopped it a few times verified files twice and logged out and logged back in steam. still nothing.

[little coyote]

Check if it's running in the background and got stuck there from your task manager

[wide flume]

@little coyote this is whats going on there

[little coyote]

Try terminating all of them and restarting

[wide flume]

this was right after i restarted my PC so nothing else should be running

[little coyote]

Doesn't hurt to try, some times, rarely, steam games just get stuck in limbo like that for me at least

[scenic field]

If you're still having issues, you could use the "Verify integrity of game files" option, in steam. That might fix it, it may take awhile though.

[wide flume]

ah no worries thanks for your time though this is really specific and things ive tried on the google searches havent helped

i tried verifying that was the first thing i did

[scenic field]

Can you get the Launcher to open?

[wide flume]

launcher opens but when i press to launch the game from the launcher it does its short darktide loading bar then nothing happens after that all i can do is stop the game from steam and try again

Ok. Another potential fix, in the settings, within the Launcher, you could reset them. Maybe the problems is configuration.

I'm a little tech savy, but if this doesn't work, idk what it is.

[scenic field]

I don't understand a lot of the blessings. Some say they apply "brittleness", what does that do? when it says it will increase my impact, power, or damage, idk what effect these really have. I don't see that information in the game.

[woeful root]

here's a rending/brittleness explanation #psyker-class message

the weapon card gives you a general idea of how much damage your weapon does, but to see more info, you can tap [V] to go into their inspect screen where you can then hover over each stat to see what they scale and whatnot

you can also press [Tab] from the inspect screen to see an attack breakdown (how much damage does the 2nd light deal to maniac enemies, etc.)

[strange kiln]

so power is the good one

[woeful root]

damage% is straightforward, impact% improves your ability to knock enemies around (doesn't affect damage), etc.

[strange kiln]

yeah, and cleave influences how much additional damage you do to more targets

and one point of power is equal to one point of both damage, stagger and cleave

[woeful root]

it affects the amount of hitmass you can hit through but cleave% doesn't affect the cleave damage distribution

[strange kiln]

sure, more accurate phrasing

this is why broadly power is better? like the game will cost one point of power like one point of damage or cleave, when it's strictly superior to both

if you wanna quick optimization guide, figure out what blessings are available (games lantern is good for this) on any given weapon and look for the following: headtaker, decimator, slaughterer, pinning fire, blaze away

all very easy tricks to get + power, they all add nice big chunks in easy and

repeatable fashions

[scenic field]

Ok thanks, I really just wanted an explanation for the difference between Power, Impact, and Damage. As well as the answer to what is brittleness. That was all there thanks. I don't need an optimization guide. I'm not interested in min-maxing, I just want to know what the words mean so I can understand them and make my own setup even if it's bad.

[orchid heron]

Sooo,
i try to get a Flamethrower since way above 60 Days, there is none in the store. Neither in the Weekly quest store or in the amoury, just the white one you can buy from the base weapon stuff.
I check every day as a preacher for a flamethrower?

Is it possible taken out of the game temporarly?
Just ping on response please

[fervent ridge]

Just shop from Brunts for high base rated flamers, daily shop is not reliable

[orchid heron]

I do and only get 330base rating

Therefore i have to wait on daily shop

60days is long

[fervent ridge]

are you level 30 yet

because getting 300-350 base rating is like 80% of the shit you'll roll from brunts even at level 30

If you want to gun for a 370+ base rating weapon it can take 50 to 60 rolls

Unless you get mega lucky, and roll it on the first try which is possible but I've only done once in 900 hours of Darktide

[orchid heron]

i am lvl 30 + 67

[fervent ridge]

yea you're just unlucky then

Lol

Keep rolling :gamble:

[orchid heron]

yay isnt like that in 60 days the devs could have made it not sooo rar

like tf :D

[fervent ridge]

the 'good' thing is that if you play damnation casually, which i'll assume you do, then you earn enough ordos that you can eventually outfit your entire inventory with good weapons that started out as grey brunts and stop even looking at the hourly shop totally

But it'll take time. alot of time yea

[orchid heron]

I feel anyways that since patch 11 the performance dropped way to much, played on medium with 90FPS

Now i rarely get 60 with the same settings on a HIGH End PC. Like an Ryzen 7 and 32GB Ram and RTX 3080 it shouldnt be like this haha

[orchid heron]

Yeah i already got a very good Antax C MK5

just the flamethrower for the perfect build

[orchid heron]

I will try to roll a good base and then hope for some good perks :D thats gonna be a grind haha cya in 3years or smth

@fervent ridge you bring me luck, thank you may the emporer be wtih you!

[scenic field]

How do you know when you are ready to play on a higher difficulty? What lvl should you be at? How strong should you're weapons be?

[quick remnant]

When you feel stable in the lower difficulty

[fervent ridge]

Oh shit let's fucking go

Hey Teddy are you playing rn

[scenic field]

What does stable mean? Where you constantly win? I play on Malice and have for awhile. I don't always win.

[fervent ridge]

like as in the team rarely wipes, and even if you almost wipe you can still recover as the only member alive

Once you reliably win like 4/5 games in your current difficulty you can move up and dip into the next higher difficulty

stuff like special conditions can help prepare you for the jump

[scenic field]

No, I'm not. And won't be for awhile.

[fervent ridge]

for example if you can beat malice with high intensity / shock troops modifier, then vanilla Heresy with no modifiers will be very manageable because high intensity is like half a difficulty's worth of extra stuff

aw ok

[strange kiln]

well broadly the jump from 3-4 is the most severe, but in terms of weapons you want almost everything is viable it's just some stuff will be harder than others

like there's very little correlation between the number and the actual viability since there's so much variation in blessing power level

you can have a totally shit 550 that gets totally trounced by say a 450

[scenic field]

I feel like it's hard to not wipe sometimes. As I cannot control my teammates. I had one guy do everything in his power to not get healed. A Veteran, avoiding all ammo drops. I think it's inexperienced players or people playing on Malice for the first time. Had 2 people in the same game think you can just walk past the Demonhost.

And I can still get overwhelmed on the classes I play, Psyker and Ogrym.

I feel like I can play on Heresy. Next time I get on, I'm gonna try it out.

[fluid flare]

If Heresy feels similarly hard because of your team, just jump into Damnation.

Better teammates overall

Can be easier than Heresy because of it

[scenic field]

I'll just have to see. I have 300+ hours in Deep Rock Galactic and the equivalent difficulty in that game to Damnation is Hazard 5. Haz5 turned the game from fun to work for me. So even though I could play on Haz5, I'd much rather play on Haz4 cause it was more fun and easier to carry, if I needed to.

[elder sand]

Anybody play on PC that can help with the penance Just a flesh wound?

[delicate warren]

When you are concistently are dealing high damage respective to the team and are usally the last one alive.

Its basically means that if everyone was playing to your level that difficulty would be easy.

[scenic field]

How do you know how much damage your dealing?

[rigid wasp]

Scoreboard mod

Though it's also subject to some people being more proactive than others

[fervent ridge]

U can download scoreboard / hud / other QoL mods from nexusmods for Warhammer

[scenic field]

Oh I see, scoreboard doesn't tell the whole story though. I'm not a fan of focusing on the numbers.

Had a scanning mission yesterday with 2 bots where my other teammate played like he was in a solo team deathmatch game mode. After the mission started, I never saw him until the end with the big tree-ish looking thing with the eyes on it. I did all the scans and interactables. I will guarantee you his damage was higher than mine, but we were barely on the same team.

Also, if there's a horde, and my flamethrower Psyker is burning them down. If im focusing on the numbers, I'm inclined to get in there too. But if I'm confident my Psyker has that under control, I'd rather watch their flank and make sure they go uninterrupted.

[fervent ridge]

yea that's the proper way to play

Damage numbers isn't the end of the story

Where that damage is done is much more significant

So you already have Damnation-ready thought process

[scenic field]

Glad we agree. I have over 1000 hours in team based games. I prefer supportive playstyles. Concepts like this click with me really fast.

[fervent ridge]

Woo!~~

a better indicator that's still numeric-based could be how many specialists/disablers you kill since these enemies are the most disruptive ones and are the main reason for wipes

A trapper with a good net, a mutant displacing a key member, a poxburster throwing multiple people off a ledge, these things cause more wipes than hordes on any difficulty since hordes are really the easiest part of DT

You play Psyker so you have unparalled target access with no range-falloff to pick out these specialists, on any scoreboard if you're #1 for specialists killed you're doing amazing

[delicate warren]

Its always possible to just ask how far you would go if you had 4 copies of urself.

Would damnation be possible or would it not be?

If the answear is no then you are likely not ready for damnation.

[fervent ridge]

Speak your truth Wilmer

[wide flume]

hello ive been having this problem and dont know how to fix it. when i press play on steam to open the launcher the launcher comes up like normal. but when i press play from the launcher the short loading bar that comes up finishes loading then nothing happens usually the screen goes black and then the cinematics and stuff starts but so far none of that happens it just does the loading bar then nothing. ive tried some google stuff but nothing. ive tried the normal stuff like restarting the computer, verifying files, uninstalling, exit and signing out of steam and signing out of my account. and up to now at the time of this message ive been waiting to see if the game will pop up but still nothing all i can do is force stop the game through steam and try again.

[full palm]

How do I "reroll" the weapon modifier stats? Do I just buy the same weapon over and over?

[fervent ridge]

Yes, but only at lvl 30 from Brunts Armory

before you hit lvl 30 rerolls are a waste of resources

Save it for the grind when you are guaranteed 300 minimum base rating and higher

Because anything you acquire now will get outclassed by free Emps Gifts you get from completing any missions

Alright, thanks for the tip

[rigid wasp]

Team-based? I prefer to be the one being based here, thank you very much

[fluid flare]

generally good rule of thumb but some missions you just end up on horde duty because you have teammates that are sniping specialists as soon as they appear and you just have to roll up your sleeves and clear out the trash

Should it work like that?

[wide flume]

hello need some help what is backend error?

[scenic field]

What is the ideal way to fight a Chaos Spawn? The other monstrosities don't bother me, it's just this one. Alone it's not too much of a problem, but the second there is anything else it immediately becomes a potential wipe scenario.

well he has a few attacks but generally the strat is dogde left on his overheads, block his low swipes or dodge back

if he picks someone up to eat them you need something to stun him like a frag or ogryn charge to make him drop them

you want to be really close to him when attacking, contrary to how you may handle a BoN at range with ease

here's a good video

Darktide says backend error but nothing has changed to my network?

Yeah any other game works just fine, but i cant login into Darktide EU

[strange kiln]

i found you can kite the CS around very easily. if someone gets dropped you can lead it in a circle while your teammates get them up

[hidden citrus]

I'm getting a constant backend error message, I updated my drivers, clean install on the game, checked my network and all seems fine with other games. I have a decent rig and can run the game on highest settings. Now if I can get passed the backend error I can't even run it on its lowest settings. Am I just dumb or did something break in this new patch.

[orchid heron]

Its just the server check #general-chat but hey you just wasted a ton of time, congrats :D

[hidden citrus]

Love that, especially when the apparent fix is to just spam space until you get in

[orchid heron]

Well i guess Fatshark servers burned down and just a cluster of servers is still working (its a joke) i am pretty sure there network will be up and running soon

[orchid heron]

But i got a pro tip for you, for free, i figured out why the performance in Darktide is so poor and why i get stuck on 60 +/-FPS on a high end PC, its the Core Isolation in windows aka VBS, which drains performance, turn it off and the game gets unbelivable smooth, butter smooth, had an FPS increase of 60+

[hidden citrus]

Thanks for the tip, if only I could get in game to change the settings

This wasn't incredibly helpful, cause this guy just 1v1's it casually. I couldn't replicate that if I tried. But honestly, that's irrelevant. In the video the Chaos Spawn never uses it's grab move. Why is that? RNG? Is it cause he was alone? idk. He also, has no other threats to deal with. I swear the Chaos Spawn switches aggro randomly as well. Can you control it's aggro? Also, there is no terrain or ledges in that video.

Should you really fight it close? I've seen it pick up one player and knock another player off the map with that first guy, absolute tragedy. Now that I think about it, it feels like it picking someone up is best possible case scenario, if you have other issues. While it's eating(?) the guy, kill the other threats, get your other teammates back up, and try to stabilize the scenario. Worse comes to worst, that one guy has multiple bars of corruption, but HEY, the runs still alive.

I counted the grab being attempted 4 times there

The chaos spawn also has some funky nuances, like its grab

[scenic field]

Idk what the grab looks like. You can avoid it? All the attacks look the same, except for the jump.

[rigid wasp]

It'll grab a player and cause corruption on them while healing itself

You can stop that not only through a strong stagger, but also by baiting the spawn into using that player to attack you, which does nothing if you just dodge back

He is relentless and I really dislike the erratic movement compared to the more defined pacing of the plague ogryn and spatial awareness of the beast, but he's still a very doable boss

The simplest solution to not getting knocked off ledges really is to just avoid the attack

I like having some block efficiency and stamina regen for cases like these

If they kept the Vermintide quirks, the grab can be avoided by dodging to the opposite side of the grab or backwards

[fluid flare]

it rears back on its hind legs and then lunges forward with its biggest arm in a big sweep around itself. if that connects with anyone, it grabs them.
