[fervent ridge]

It'd be 2 times better if you replaced Cavalcade with Shattering III or higher

[rustic crest]

two times better would be awesome

that'd be against armor units/bosses right?

[fervent ridge]

Which is most of the biggest threats on higher difficulties yea, for a variety of reasons

Higher spawn volume of crushers, reapers, bulwarks (carapace armored enemies / ogryn elites) rewards your investment into shattering impact

Bigger hordes also guarantee that each bolter round penetrates several adds before lodging in an elite/specialist and always gives you 5stacks of pinning

[rustic crest]

gotcha. would it make sense to have +25% carapace as a perk with pinning fire and shattering impact? considering that shattering impact is op against armor already

[fervent ridge]

Unyielding Maniac

[rustic crest]

ooo

[fervent ridge]

Unyielding deals with bosses and reapers/bulwarks

[rustic crest]

ive been doing it wrong xD

okay

i have a delimma now

which one should i take the shattering impact from/to pinning fire?

i need to sacrifice one and thatll leave me with one free perk

😭

[rigid wasp]

Kill the one the left

[fervent ridge]

Maniac because higher difficulty is all about maniac spam when they toss like fucking 20 maniac specialists at you

One on the right is better

[rustic crest]

ok

[fervent ridge]

10 specialist is not ideal but it works as a budget anti maniac

[rustic crest]

so maniac perk over unyielding?

[fervent ridge]

you already took carapace, it can't be changed now, and you still need to change cavalcade to shattering impact

[rustic crest]

wait it has the repair thingy on it, i can change that perk only to any one

but thatll leave me with one blessing change which ill take from the left bolter

so it'll be 25% maniac or unyielding, specialist, pinning and shatter

o_O

[fervent ridge]

oh ok so unyielding specialist then

and then caval to shattering

[rigid wasp]

I would take unyielding over maniac in this case as well

[fervent ridge]

pinning fire shattering impact is #1 priority, blessings are more important than perks on bolter although you still very much want perks

[rustic crest]

ah okay

😬 😬

😁

[fervent ridge]

This will suffice until you find shattering IV

Once you do you'll be almost fully online

Still need Pinning Fire 4 eventually

[rigid wasp]

This is totally adequate till you find the perfect roll though

[rustic crest]

😭

[rigid wasp]

I have a funny bolter on my zealot that has Pinning IV and Shattering IV... and a 50% damage roll. It still kicks ass though

[rustic crest]

hahaha ive yet to see an absolute godroll bolter with good stats/perks/blessings

[lapis fog]

So if you Shot in the poop hole from Chaos Spawn and Plague Ogryn, you do more dmg^^

next time you know where you must shoot xD

[rigid wasp]

Bastion 2-20 Combat Stance

[torn cargo]

Hey all. Does this mean the Dreg Gunners? Or flak-armored common enemies that shoot you.

[worthy flint]

This includes both Gunners (there are two normal ones, both have the LMG that fires for a while, they're the Dreg one and the Scab one) and also the Reaper (the big Ogryn with a stubber.)

It doesn't include normal shooters.

[torn cargo]

ah, is that so. Unfortunate then. I was stacking them thinking it'd include the common shooters with the lasgun.

[torn cargo]

Anything for the common shooters, then?

[worthy flint]

Yeah, common mistake. If you want up'd defences against shooters just stack toughness. All ranged damage hits your toughness first, no chip damage at all.

[torn cargo]

Noted. What kind of specific toughness perk? As in, regeneration or +5% toughness?

[worthy flint]

You can get curios with up to 17% toughness for the blessing (the top one) and another +5% toughness for one of the perks. You can also stack +Toughness Regen Speed which increases the coherency toughness regen and reduces the delay before it starts.

+Toughness Regen doesn't affect your toughness talents though, so only take it if you're gonna be in coherency.

[torn cargo]

Gotcha. I already have 30% regen speed on two of my curios. As my toughness regenerates as Veteran, thanks to one of the feats. the 30% toughness speeds works with Veteran's regeneration speed over time, I presume?

[worthy flint]

If you're talking about Confirmed Kill and that one that regens toughness when enemies aren't near you, no. Again the +Toughness Regen Speed perks only work on coherency regen. Nothing else is affected by it.

[torn cargo]

Understood.

[torn cargo]

I see, well thanks for the info. I'll consider toughness perks for my Curios. cheers 🍻

[solid kiln]

how'd you get bosses in the psykanium?

[fathom shard]

Got this from melk on my vet. I'd like some suggestions to improve it.

[worthy flint]

That's a mod. Check out the modding page here: https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/, and check out the modding tutorial here: https://dmf-docs.darkti.de/index#/installing-mods.

[solid kiln]

much appreciated

I have mods enabled I just didn't know there was an extant option for it

[worthy flint]

This is the mod in question. https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/25

[worthy flint]

With this one I'd swap +Elites to +Flak and Ghost II to Ghost IV. You can also get a second opinion in one of the class channels for the class that this is for, usually you'll get a valid opinion on it.

[rustic crest]

Guys if a bolter has pinning fire and shattering impact, would it be more effective against crushers if you shot a couple unarmored trash first before shooting the crushers/ogryns?

[glossy solstice]

not enough to matter. bolter has enough impact to stagger crushers and build PF that way

[woeful root]

if you're savvy and particularly concerned about ammo efficiency, then you could chuck a nade first and build pinning fire stacks that way

otherwise, the bolter should be ammo efficient enough to not have to worry about that anyways

[hasty pagoda]

You only get one stack of PF per shot so it doesn’t matter

[hasty pagoda]

I actually didn’t know you could do that with the grenades

[turbid dock]

Should vet bolter run counterfire last talent?

[woeful root]

if you're annoyed with ranged enemies, then sure

I can usually just dive them with the psword so I don't have any trouble and just run sustained fire/TBTA instead, but I am also extremely comfy in melee

[turbid dock]

What is the default choice? The bigger they are?

Or the reload one

[woeful root]

i don't hang out in the vet channel enough to know, but I personally run TBTA

sustained fire seems nice if you're using the bolter a bunch and don't want to be caught with your pants down with it being un-reloaded

I usually have the bolter loaded through the sheer fact that I don't use it all that much, so I can comfortably run TBTA

either works, especially considering the fact that you can also just mag dump -> ult with sustained fire and immediately reload -> shoot again and with your pinning fire stacks maintained

I personally like TBTA for the ult extensions with the ogryn enemies and bursting down monstrosities

[rustic crest]

Interesting. Didnt know that nades built stacks of PF 👀

[woeful root]

here's an example by josho for demonstration purposes https://streamable.com/031zby

??? is it not embedding

o there we go

just discord being slow

[glossy solstice]

the bolter ultimately works with any choice of level 30 feat

sustained fire makes it much more of an active ability, counterfire lets you deal with shooters and have volleyfire up in a much more passive manner (and will generally last longer in engagements), and TBTA is kind of half-way in between since you can chain on ogryn-type enemies but isn't going to keep active nearly as much as counterfire

https://streamable.com/f2i3s2

this is with a 25% unyielding, t4 pf/surgical, and TBTA bolter vs a reaper

i also have sniper for feats

with PF stacks you can 1 shot them, meaning you can be ammo positive/ammo neutral on reapers

for monstrosity maelstrom, i think TBTA is the strongest choice, for hi5- probably counterfire, and i havent played with sustained fire much because i dont particularly like the prospects of being encouraged to shit out ammo (since playing a little conservative with bolter saves you a lot of rounds), but it seems decent enough if you have a bunch of panic situations

[rustic crest]

Bruh, that’s uprising difficulty right?

[glossy solstice]

you can see the total hp numbers

3750 is damnation

[rustic crest]

I have ogryn/monstrosity lv 30 feat, 25% unyielding and t3 PF/SI and its a couple bullets for me on damnation

So surgical > shattering impact? 🤨

[glossy solstice]

well it depends

shattering impact is consistent value vs certain targets, mostly crushers

but shattering impact also straight up isn't necessary

crits provide an innate rending on top of their damage buff

so it'll provide way more of a damage boost vs, say, carapace armored enemies (mauler heads and crushers mostly), than you'd initially expect

here specifically i'm using sniper, a crit, and t4 pf to get this BP

[rustic crest]

Ok sniper makes sense but still, one shotting a reaper is wild

[glossy solstice]

pinning fire is absolutely nuts

its a multiplicative boost on vet's ult, since damage and power multiply against each other, so you're firing the equivalent of multiple bolter rounds per each shot lol

[rustic crest]

Im melting everything on damnation with t3 pf lol

Im not using sniper tho

[glossy solstice]

sniper is a bit more of a niche pick, this was deadshot/sniper, and i would probably recommend in general you run the reload feats over that combo

[rustic crest]

Yup

[glossy solstice]

since bolter isn't exactly hurting for damage anyways

[torn cargo]

Is Collateral stat useful / necessary in general? It's particulary low in my Shredder. %56.

[lapis fog]

So for this who want the best Veteran Shooter build, here it's out now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIxnap4_jVo

[worthy galleon]

is it just me or i cant find people when searching for a game?

[worthy flint]

On some weapons it can be a dump stat. iirc it depends on the weapon, like for Ogryn's stubbers and rippers you want them as low as possible so it doesn't stagger your enemies too much, since too much stagger launches them and reduces your damage. On the Shredder, iirc you actually want ~51-60 collateral since it won't launch people as much but it'll keep Bulwarks staggered, and all in all you'll still stagger enough to stack Pinning Fire (the BiS blessing for it rn.)

[floral birch]

Is there a certain game mode I’m supposed to be playing in order to do the weekly contracts ? My group and I killed 2 monstrosities and it didn’t count so I’m confused.

[worthy flint]

The gamemode is just the mission board, I don't think there's a different gamemode to do them in. It can be down to a few things, make sure to look at what weeklies you have before trying to complete them (no progress until you see them), server instability can delay them by a match or two, and sometimes it can just 'forget' a mission. Sorry you have to deal with it

[lapis fog]

do you check the weekly contracts before you kill the 2 monsters?

[floral birch]

I looked and nothing has changed.

[hard goblet]

You checked what your contracts were with Melk before you killed those 2 monstrosities?

[floral birch]

Yeah

[hard goblet]

May end up being a Fatshark server issue then.

[tulip lynx]

das

[minor dawn]

why is the server so laggy

[warm nebula]

Nidhoggr the Net Serpent is just eating all the packets ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[neat owl]

What is the highest toughness bonus you can get in a curio?

[worthy flint]

The big part of the curio can go up to 17%. You can also get a 5% toughness perk on the same curio. Highest bonus you can get is 66% to your total toughness.

[neat owl]

Ok, thanks

[minor dawn]

Is anyone else getting the message connection to the server is slow?

[uncut slate]

so is this a bug?

[worthy flint]

What looks to be a bug here? Each weapon gets 2 modifications before the rest of the options are locked. On that Boltgun you have modified both the blessings (see the little gear/wrench icon), which means you've used both your modifications for that weapon. You can't change the perks on it anymore. You can still change both those blessings.

[uncut slate]

I thought you where restricted to one perk change and one blessing change was that altered in last patch? I modified the perk a long time ago to unyielding then only just changed to cavalcade today.

[worthy flint]

Yeah, that was changed. You can make 2 changes total, blessing/blessing, perk/perk, blessing/perk.

Frees up weapons a tiny bit, not by much though.

[uncut slate]

Im just confused why I have a open blessing now

[worthy flint]

You mean the Shattering Impact blessing having the modification thing used on it?

[uncut slate]

ye

maybe im just losing my mind

[worthy flint]

I can only say that maybe you changed it and forgot? Wouldn't be the first time I've heard similar stuff happening after patches though. Whatever it is you have those two blessings unlocked now, shouldn't change or anything.

[uncut slate]

its possible honestly It was so long ago I rolled this bolter

[fluid flare]

looks to me like you changed one of the blessings to shattering impact a long time ago, and never touched the perks

[undone flame]

Is three toughness regen 30% curios while running an inspiring barrage shredder overkill? Is running three toughness regen curios overkill in the first place?

I think I may have gone a bit overboard in my choices of making sure the word toughness is on all the things, and now I'm starting to have an existential crisis.

[worthy flint]

So, +toughness regen speed only affects your coherency regen. Inspiring Barrage (not affected by regen speed btw) is different between Boltgun & Shredder iirc, so I can't test out anything in particular but it just sounds like you're gonna be extra safe from shooters. If you feel that you don't need the toughness, swap out Inspiring Barrage so you can get Blaze Away/Pinning Fire, Blaze Away has the same spray and pray mechanic but with damage instead of toughness.

[undone flame]

Thanks for the input. That should get my brain theorising a bit!

[fluid flare]

Yeah I would keep the curios and replace IB.

[coral tide]

so has anyone noticed poxbombers just blowing themselves up off the map a few seconds after they spawn? i assume its a bug

[worthy flint]

It happens whenever their pathfinding realizes they need to jump up something, or there's an obstacle it can't traverse. There's one map where a poxburster has a scripted spawn (afaik) at a wall it can't jump up, so it just blows up each time lol.

[fluid flare]

lol yeah there's a spawn point in a vent shaft or something that leads to the big servitor colony chamber in excise vault, but enemies have to do a little hop to jump out and drop down into the playing area. poxbursters that spawn there always blow up because they cant make that jump. happens every game.

[analog ice]

Anybody else think that with the new class update all classes will be able to equip three different types of grenades like Bardin's Outcast Engineer career in VT2?

[quick remnant]

Bardin doesn't get 3 types of Grenades from the OE.

But each classes are gonna get 3 Blitz.
Vet: Frag, Krak, unknown
Psyker: Chain lighting/Smite, Brain burst, Psychic Shard
Zealot: Fire, Stumm, Throwing knife (Uncertain)
Ogryn: Rock, Box, big bomb

But you only can have 1 type during the mission

[analog ice]

From my understanding from the wiki page about OE Bardin, he can pick up and carry 3 bombs, which can be all bombs/fire bombs or a mix of the two. I'm thinking that with the new class update you can equip up to three different types of grenades per class, but idk if that's going to work with Psyker class. This is assuming that the upgrade tree can let choose three different grenade types at once.

[quick remnant]

No you can only pick one Grenade choice

VT2 had a different grenade system

[worthy flint]

@quick remnant You can absolutely pick up up to 3 grenades, and it can be mixed (press grenade button again to swap them). It's one of the careers passive perks.

Only OE can do it.

[quick remnant]

In Vt2. Not here

And it's still only the 2 normal bombs that can be picked up

[worthy flint]

Ah, maybe a misunderstanding. Your previous message makes it look like you're arguing against OE being able to pick up 3 bombs, with your reasoning being that V2 has a different grenade system.

[quick remnant]

Was responding to this question:

I'm thinking that with the new class update you can equip up to three different types of grenades per class,

[full palm]

What should I do to get better weapons? rn my melee has 340 rating and I'm a zealot. Just keep playing? or should I reroll weapons somewhere

[rigid wasp]

If you're level 30, you can roll base weapons at Brunt's and keep the ones you like to upgrade and hopefully get something nice

[full palm]

if I'm not I should just play till 30?

[worthy flint]

Yeah, you gotta hit level 30 before you can get the top tier stuff. Just use whatever until then.

[fallow elm]

just play the game, stacks some golds like 500 k

then spam the target weapon of your choice in the shop

take the 360+/ best stats

then uppgrade them into orange

[uneven kraken]

Is there a good guide/ spreadsheet on the best perks/blessings for every weapon type?

[void forge]

This will vary depending on class and playstyle. Check out the pinned messages in each class channel for general guides and such for that class

Generally you want to look for power increasing blessings eg. headtaker, slaughterer, decimator for melee. Pinning fire, fire frenzy, deathspitter for ranged

[vast fog]

as a psyker during boss fights, should i just be spamming brain burst?

[worthy flint]

Depends on your build. You can use Kinetic Barrage & Cerebral Lacerations w/ Warp Unleashed for a quick burst of damage on a boss, but normally you should only use it as a safe ranged option for free damage. I don't have exact numbers though, I imagine a Deimos with heavy spam will perform better.

[void forge]

I could be wrong, but I believe purge and gun psykers will do more DPS wth their respective ranged weapons than BB.

[woeful root]

purg has less DPS than BB against the monstrosities except maybe the daemonhost (who takes 0.7x ranged damage to the head) or captain (who has flak armour, which takes 1.5x damage from soulblaze)

[minor dawn]

Trying to pick which power sword to use on me veteran for crowd control aka deal with hords overrunning me. Any suggestions and what perks/blessings I should try for?

[worthy flint]

Both power swords are pretty much identical stat wise iirc. The difference being attack patterns, I recommend trying them out to get a feel for them. Mk III has horizontal heavies, the Mk VI has horizontal lights. Up to preference. For blessings you want Power Cycler & Slaughterer. For perks you want +Flak, and for the second one +Maniac/Unyielding/Carapace (all are up to preference, pick what you want to die faster).

With the perks really any of those 4 will do, lower priority on +Carapace though.

[minor dawn]

Thanks for the input.

[simple heart]

endless loading after picking charater >>>???

[tender wren]

I read countless forums & wiki material & haven't gotten a straight answer, is it possible to build a crit chainsword/axe build on zealot?

or should I throw in the hat

[void forge]

Oh it's certainly possible. Will it be good is a different story

Tac axe would be your best bet from those weapon choices for a Crit build

[tender wren]

I know it won't be neccesarily good, chain weapons don't have high crit/ fast attacks, I just want to know if I can "reliably" get crits enough to warrant making my chain build a crit build

[void forge]

Although I have heard whispers of bloodthirsty+bloodletter on chainaxe working

[tender wren]

the crit isn't the dealbreaker

I only have the blessings that give bleed on special attack & the build crit when attacking

[void forge]

The reason bloodthirsty might be good specifically for chainaxe is because the guaranteed Crit can trigger on normal attacks with

With the Rev damage

[tender wren]

I figure I can test more when I get the kill with special grants crit blessing

[void forge]

As in you don't need to activate special to get the guaranteed Crit with chainaxe

[tender wren]

ooo

sounds nuts when it gets going

[void forge]

Besides that I'd try Crit tac axe, probably a bit more versatile than the chainaxe

[tender wren]

I'm not trying to make a crit build, I just want to make a crit chain weapon build (for sillies)

I could just use the knife or axe

[worthy flint]

Shred + Devastating Strike for Chainsword, 3-1-3-1/2-2-1. Same idea as the DClaw's crit build, ult > H1 > qq > repeat into hordes. Very funny. Chain Axe is different since it actually has good damage blessings. I'd probably do a Bloodthirsty/Slaughterer with 3-X-2-2-2-1. Get a rev kill and just start going ham into hordes, spam your ult when possible. For your T2, use BL for more ults, Punishment for better horde CC, or Retribution for extra attack speed sometimes, up to preference.

[tender wren]

no lost love for 50% less toughness dmg on crit?

[worthy flint]

It's good on the Chainsword, and quite below good on the Chaxe ime. Chaxe really benefits from being a big enemy buster, Thrust is super good for it.

[worthy flint]

No, garbage talent. You lose so much toughness regen with that. You're relying on kills and coherency for toughness. PiB is literally better in most cases.

[tender wren]

maybe that was my broken piece on my build

[worthy flint]

It's whole shtick is that you technically gain 2x kill regen and 2x coherency regen as long as your buff is up. The thing is that it requires you to crit (most crit builds need a couple hits to ramp it up first because of BL). The second you get unlucky with an enemy you'll have normal toughness regen. Matters for elites and shooter filled rooms. PiB is 2x kill regen 1x coherency regen, but constant, standalone enemies have more value on average. EWEW imo is just better though since it's like killing 1.6 enemies per second for just being near 3 enemies. You still get the on kill regen too.

[tender wren]

I run that on my heavy sword build, just cause I don't expect to kill the whole crowd quickly

[strange kiln]

well this is kind of the crit contradiction for zel

where none of the crit feats are best and two of them are bad

so you can build it, it just isn't very good

unless you wanna hammer the ult button while still not doing much damage

[static swift]

Keep getting error code 3013. Can't seem to join the game.

[tender wren]

what I'm hearing is that to build a crit build, you shoehorn yourself into a very specific set for diminishing returns because you are a crit build (and the weapons that are good at that are not great outside of that), correct? and the perks are generally not as good as their counterparts?

[fervent ridge]

Crit functions extremely poorly in this game on average for damage-dealing purposes

Due to the way crit itself is calculated

Not as a % of the overall base dmg of your weapon but as a separate number

so it's more like 50 dmg + 2 (crit!)

If big numbers is what you're looking for Power blessings are the ones you want

Power adds damage, stagger and cleave and multiplies off the base weapon damage

So 5 [75% power] stacks Headtaker will be 50 dmg + 37.5 (!!) on a Heavysword for example

Look for Thrust on Thunderhammer, Decimator / Headtaker on combat and tactical axes, Headtaker on Heavyswords, Slaughterer on Power/Force Swords

[worthy flint]

Crit works best as a compliment to a build. It's why it's viable with DClaw and Chainsword since they don't have anything that would make crits worthless, same thing with ranged weapons.

It's also really dependent on the weapon itself, stuff like Force Swords normally would be good with crit since they got crazy multipliers, but better blessings exist.

[rigid wasp]

And on most weapons, crit is glued to headshot damage

I think revolver is the only one that has a weird crit stat

The rest is usually called finesse

[worthy flint]

Surge Staff has it too. Melee weapons use finesse since that constitutes attack speed as well.

[worthy flint]

Also I'd like to say that this isn't a good philosophy to follow with some weapons. Crit damage can still benefit from hitting the weakspot. This means most weapons turn body shots into weakspot equivalents, but they can go higher. This is still a damage boost regardless.

On weapons with poor weakspot priority, getting free weakspot damage by critting is valuable. Just in the current environment +power stuff will dominate, or in Ogryns case it's not very viable to build for crits save for the Stubbers due to Charmed Reload (even then it's just slapping a +crit perk and calling it a day).

[rigid wasp]

I mean, yeah, I was saying that crit and headshot are just tied on many weapons

I'm not sure I understand which part of it is bad

[worthy flint]

I just sometimes see people use it as a negative to building for crits. Thought this was one of those cases. No worries.

[rigid wasp]

I think people's biggest issue with crit is the damage modifier

Crit chance is something used to proc certain effects and we get people advising crit for weapons like purgatus, but crit damage is what makes people vomit

Though even for the most part, people don't like crit chance either because we look at an entire 5% compared to dealing 20% more damage to an enemy

And for a 5% crit chance to be equivalent to 20% damage, you need a lot of crit damage backing it up

[worthy flint]

If you look at it that way, sure. However you have to note that +25% damage perks are used to meet BPs. Instead of it being +25% damage it's "oh, I meet 3 BPs with this damage perk". Only time it's actually gonna matter as +25% damage is with Unyielding & sometimes Carapace, since it turns from meeting a BP to DPS against Crushers and Bosses. On some weapons it can be a case of getting crit effects/damage more often vs. going from 3 shotting Maulers to 2 shotting them for example.

[keen leaf]

I'm probably far from the first to notice this but I have not seen a single weapon with a stat past 80%.
Is there any reason for this or is FatShark just being difficult?

[fluid flare]

a lot of people will say "reds" lol. that was the highest tier of weapons in vermintide, one more step above orange.

if/when we see those in darktide they might use the last 20% of the stat bars.

[quick remnant]

But which wasn't what 100% stats weapon would be this time

[keen leaf]

Guess that's likely the case. Which makes you question why they didn't release with that in the game already.
Then again.. that could be said for so many things...

FS just can't seem to launch a game in a good state if their lives depended on it..

[strange kiln]

there are also t5 blessings in the code, and everything goes to .8

like, the reason toughness caps at 17 and health at 21 is because it's 20 and 25 rounded funny

the overhead is assumed to be for expansion, i mean it's all totally arbitarary. the stats could just as easily go to 110 or beyond

[uneven cargo]

So what engine does DT use?

[quick remnant]

Fs in-house

[fluid flare]

Stingray

[uneven cargo]

In house and saaafe

[ashen current]

do defences and mobility stats stack on lower rolls up to the max possible or is the larger stat applied?

[worthy flint]

Inspect the weapon, then hover over the stats. You can see exactly what the stat affects, and the upper/lower ranges of the stat. On weapons with both Mobility and Defenses, they do different stuff. iirc it's gonna have dodges and sprint for Mobility, and push cost for Defenses.

[ashen current]

There is dodge limit and distance for both mods

[worthy flint]

Are you talking about the stats on two different weapons stacking?

[ashen current]

both mods

on a single weapon

eyes!

[worthy flint]

I don't believe there's a weapon that has both Mobility and Defenses both affecting dodge limit and distance. What weapon is it that you're talking about?

[ashen current]

duelling sword and shovel

I am not making stuff up

this is not hypothetical

[worthy flint]

Ah gotcha. Haven't used those weapons. The dodge limit and dodge distance are both under "additional data". Not sure how either stack, but you can see the totals there. Mobility also has the sprint speed, defenses with sprint cost and push cost, both are separate.

[ashen current]

So the mods have summed up stats shown when hovering over them with a cursor?

cause I think that's what the damage table was for when it comes to damage

[worthy flint]

You can see the totals here. They count the bonuses from the stats automatically.

[ashen current]

Ahh I see there is a hard cap

[worthy flint]

Only one that isn't listed is sprint cost, which can be viewed under Defenses.

I think the Dodge Distance listed under both stats is wrong, since under Additional Data it's always 15% for the Mk V for me. Same with Veteran's shovel always being at +10%. This is a Fatshark Description Moment™️ unfortunately, would be hard to test what's right for it, but the other stats seem to be properly communicated as far as I can see.

[tepid perch]

does blessing rng scale with overall rating or just base rating?

[worthy flint]

Base rating. It's pretty common to get T4's at 380, but you can still get T3's.

[tawny path]

has anyone had this before?

or seen anything like it?

[hard goblet]

The last hotfix caused it.

[minor dawn]

They fixed this error msg yesterday for another weapon and broke most the ogs weapons lol.

I have a theory that it's caused by the changes they made in prep for the Oct 4th update.

[quick remnant]

Yes, basically the text for the new blessings went through (not the effect, atm they still do as they used to

[cedar dune]

Is there like a list of which elites/specials to prioritize killing first?

[minor dawn]

Depends on your role.

Vets main role should be dealing with all elites/spec. In my opinion I prioritize trappers and bombers over most, do to there field control. Hounds 3rd if there is no psy otherwise its gunners.

I leave ogryns to psy and zel.

As a zealot I focus any ogryns 1st through if I have to order the reaper, crusher, bulwark in this order. Then my focuse is ragers.

If on my psyker hounds 1st ogryns 2nd same order above and gunners/ragers last.

[cedar dune]

Alright that sounds good ill start with that. i play psyker ogryn veteran currently

[rocky quiver]

i've seen people say "yes" in quickchat before during matches, how can i do that?

that doesnt show up on the quick chat wheel in game when you hold down scrollwheel etc

[fervent ridge]

It's a Mod

that adds options to the chatwheel

Warhammer40k Darktide on Nexusmods

Happy shopping

[hard goblet]

It's a mod.

[smoky ember]

the For The Emperor mod

idk why they didn’t say the mod lol

[hard goblet]

Figured if they wanted to find it they could check nexus mods. It's not hard to find being one of the more popular mods in use and a "chat" keyword brings it up.

[rocky quiver]

oop

alrighty thank you!

[fervent ridge]

cuz I don't use it u nerd

[smoky ember]

blehhh

[nova viper]

How do I get rid of the yellow dot? I check everything I don't have anything new.

[fervent ridge]

You don't

this has been a display bug since January

don't worry, I know how much it bothers you lol

[nova viper]

😭

[fervent ridge]

There is even a mod on nexusmods to remove it

That's how bothered some of us have gotten

[summer mauve]

does anyone else love showstopper

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1046913589614747719/1152965982093062144/showstopper.mp4

[signal gate]

pfft

fire toot

wish it was an actual explosion, maybe when they release fire nades they will give that to showstopper

like it could light enemies on fire or be an actual barrel explosion but that is just pathetic rn

[nova viper]

Is there a way to see what mission type I already did?

[simple heart]

any fix for the endless loading bug

[fervent ridge]

Keep spamming space

[fervent ridge]

No, what people do and have been doing since the game dropped is you just write down which modes you did in a notepad to keep track

[quasi crescent]

Hello, i wanted to install mods, but i can't find the toggle_darktide_mods.bat
with the search withing Darktide's game files

anyone knows how to find it?

[woeful root]

did you download Darktide Mod Loader and move it to where it should be?

[quasi crescent]

yes

[woeful root]

should be in .../steamapps/common/Warhammer 40,000 DARKTIDE, assuming you're on steam

[quasi crescent]

yes i did follow the steps, hence me asking here. sould i try to re-extract it?

[woeful root]

probably

[quasi crescent]

alright, worked on third time for some obscure reason, thanks.

[brave meadow]

so I haven't played in a long while, is there any way to fix this?

[quick remnant]

wait for the 4thof october update

[brave meadow]

[worthy flint]

It's kinda dumb since you don't get the %'s anymore but here's the list of all the bugged descriptions and what they were (middle row for each, bottom row is what it was changed to on accident with the hotfix).

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YjqK9uU_iw8yXUITOGD_lWojbwKrW4eV5e70zZqhfeQ/edit#gid=0

[brave meadow]

thanks

[worthy flint]

Oh actually you do get the %'s, it's just assuming Tier 4.

[turbid dock]

do the coloured cells next to most of the descriptions mean anything?

[quick remnant]

The diamonds ? 4 of them ?

[turbid dock]

in the document

[quick remnant]

The orange and red ?

No idea

[worthy flint]

No idea, probably just notes that only the creator of the spreadsheet understands.

[proud nymph]

Really sucks that every blessing is not showing a description

This is fine

[hard goblet]

Don't worry. There won't be any accountability for it down the line so eventually it'll never have happened.

[rigid wasp]

theres one like that on ogryn too

[proud nymph]

[worthy flint]

Here's all of them. The middle is the current description, the bottom is what it is being changed to for Patch 13 (They leaked some blessing changes early, just descriptions though). https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YjqK9uU_iw8yXUITOGD_lWojbwKrW4eV5e70zZqhfeQ/edit

[signal gate]

Probably repair (power matrix) or investigation (hab dreyko)

those missions only have one of each

[simple heart]

is thrust blessing still in the game?

[quick remnant]

Yes. Not as good/broken as before though

[formal granite]

@fervent ridge

[fervent ridge]

what, I can't see the original msg

[formal granite]

oh someone asking about ideal hammer perks and blessings

[formal granite]

[fervent ridge]

[worthy flint]

This is the first video regarding builds that I've seen actually present a meta build. Very nice.

[fervent ridge]

Thanks, i don't think thammer is meta for most Zealot players because it requires more handling than something like Hsword or Caxe

But I have made a guide for both of those weapons as well

There you go

[worthy flint]

It's quite popular, not the meta since Zealot has multiple very strong options available, but it is a part of the big meta weapons. Not only is it good at killing bosses, it's remarkable at killing elites if you have some finesse.

It's weakness is the horrible horde clear. Great CC but low killing power, down to the point where it's sometimes faster to spam the mostly single target lights at hordes lol.

[formal granite]

knife better

[worthy flint]

Go back into the cave you live in.

[fluid flare]

[dense sedge]

Quick question since I haven't tried them yet: In pure numbers, how does an auric mission differ from a normal mission of the same difficulty (and special condition)?

[woeful root]

if they're the same difficulty and have the same special condition, then the two missions on the normal and auric boards are the exact same

with respect to the special conditions, the auric mission board just guarantees that all of the missions (including the maelstrom) that occur there will always be a hi-intensity of some sort

[fluid flare]

And that the people queueing for them are lvl 30 (or at least partied up with a lvl 30)

[unborn cave]

currently running an I7-9700 and RTX3070, tips on graphics settings for a good performance vs quality ratio is greatly appreciated, as my frames seem to always drop to 60 during combat, but otherwise sit comfortably between 85 and 90 out of combat

[worthy flint]

Here's a visual guide on the impacts of certain settings. It may not resolve everything, Darktide (Tide games in general) is a quite resource gobbler.

[unborn cave]

Thank you! I can assume the percentages for fsr are similar to what I would find on nvidia DLSS?

[worthy flint]

I'm not sure. Might need to test it out yourself, I apologize.

[unborn cave]

all good, stil la great help

[spare fable]

Does stamina regen in curio effect stamina delay also ?or just regen ?

[hot frigate]

Haven’t played in months and forgot if perks can be locked when you change them

[woeful root]

only the rate of regen

[quick remnant]

You now get 2 free changes, then the other get locks

[slate axle]

Anyone figured out how to redeem this yet? can't for the life of me figure it out

Got my Warhammer+ sub but never got a code or anything, stuck for brains

[worthy flint]

I don't think it's available yet.

Not sure though, haven't looked into it yet. Will in a sec

[slate axle]

Tried last week and nothing, wasn't too sure when its set for

Got this here, saying its for the 4th of oct but was that the last or first, really not sure if I'm slow

[quick remnant]

Last or first ?

[worthy flint]

Looks like it'll be available on the 4th then.

[slate axle]

Sorry last or first date as end of the campaign

[worthy flint]

I imagine if you're a Warhammer+ subscriber you'll get it at the launch, but I'm assuming it'll be available for a while after the 4th.

[slate axle]

Aight as long as I don;t have to check each week xD gotta squeeze all the benefits of this thing! 😂

[quick remnant]

Probably will get a code in the mails that can be used as I explained before

[slate axle]

Btw if anyone wants a boltgun code

Not using it

not sure if its valid but this was like 2 weeks ago

[tough musk]

whats max weapon rating?

[fluid flare]

380 for the stats, 550 with maxed perks and blessings

[strange kiln]

although tbf some stuff doesn't go to 4 despite being BIS, like blaze away, so sometimes an "ideal" one will be less than 550

[fast iris]

Is there a way to bind Crouch on two different keys?

[rotund radish]

Is it worth it to buy up the base tier RNGsus from brunt's armory fishing for good rolls? I've already got ~500 on both my weapons but I'm looking to expand to other weapon types in prep for the patch coming up. If it matters any, I'm specifically looking for psyker staves other than purg

[rigid wasp]

It's usually how people farm them

The greens and blues from the store come with dogshit perks and blessings most of the time, if not always

That way they get a better chance of starting out with a decently-leveled perk and blessing

[hard goblet]

If anything, you should wait for the patch first. Weapon performance is going to have to be reassessed and current blessings are going to be heavily adjusted. Godroll weapons right now may suddenly turn into junk come the update patch.

And the faucet by which you acquire new weapons, curios, blessings, etc. is all still the same.

Best to just stockpile dockets and resources for the inevitable changes.

[fervent ridge]

October 4th is here soon

Have faith, Brother

[rigid wasp]

The only faith I have is in possum memes

Pardon my intrusion in the help chat, but I believe it's important

Actually I think that might be a raccoon, so my faith is now shattered

What a ride

We do have like 10 days until the patch still, so there's still some leeway to farm some stuff to use until then

It's like the ol' "don't craft anything until you reach 30", which only left me miffed and I had a better time crafting a half-assed decent weapon to use while leveling instead of saving up everything for 30

Don't burn it all, but allow yourself some comfort

[restive nymph]

i swear to god geforce bricked my game. i let the motherfucker "optimize" my game 1 time and now it runs at 10 fps

[strange kiln]

it targets either 30 or 60

i strongly reccomend against it

it's probably turned RT back on, which also still doesn't run great even on ideal equipment

if u wanna post your display settings i could make reccomendations fwiw

[restive nymph]

holdon i might've hit enough buttons to make it work again

if i smash my keyboard and mouse hard enough ill work again

some how i did it it just works

[strange kiln]

that...doesn't seem like a long term or ideal hardware longevity solution, tbh

[restive nymph]

the ogryn in me tells me not to worry abt it

me happi me can play again

doing it the way fatshark wanted me to do it

[near dirge]

whats a nice way to get t4 blessings for crafting? just hit 30 and been trying to gear up better but big dumb ogryn confused

[hard goblet]

There is no nice way. The only methods are brute force against RNG. Upgrading weapons from Brunt's and hoping they get tier 4 blessings or buying from Melk.

[flint knot]

anyone willing to help me get the malleus monstronum penance for my psyker plz ?

[south vessel]

what's this icon mean

[formal granite]

highest difficulty u beat that mission on

thats damnation

[south vessel]

oh

[timid roost]

What’s kinda dumb though is that it’s account wide, not character specific

[minor dawn]

is there a bug with plasteel ingots? i had 78 plasteel ingots did one mission that gave 220 plasteel ingots, now it says i have 4615 plasteel ingots.

[worthy flint]

Did you spend your plasteel prior to starting the mission?

There's a bug rn where if you spend plasteel, unload then load the lobby you'll get 80% of your spent plasteel back. Works with the character select, psykanium, and I believe missions.

[minor dawn]

yes i upgraded a bunch of weapon's

[worthy flint]

Yeah that tracks. Have fun with the bug while it's still here lol. FS said it won't be rolled back or punished so you're free to use it.

[minor dawn]

ok i was just wanting to check

[signal kite]

when is the overhaul?

[quick remnant]

General pin

[fervent ridge]

4th of October, mark it on your calendar

[strange kiln]

no i just made a macro for the second one on my mouse

[static swift]

can you complete untoucheable on any mission difficulty?

[worthy flint]

I don't recall the exact description but if it doesn't state any difficulty you can do it on anything.

[static swift]

alright thanks

[static swift]

I've finished a mission without taking any damage at all not even shot and the untouchable penance isn't complete. Am I suppose to do it in a private game?

I had it unlocked before but the game is telling me I haven't completed the penance and doesn't seem to be able to be unlocked.

[worthy flint]

Could you send a screenshot of the penance?

[static swift]

As I said I've completed this penance before it wasn't until they did a major update to all the penances that it seems to have reset, and now doesn't seem to want to unlock.

[minor dawn]

It might be a bug, but redacted penance are the only one you need to do in private.

[worthy flint]

Seems to be a visual bug then. If you've done a game with just that, no damage taken, then you should have it normally. It might get resolved with a game update, otherwise it's probably just stuck like that.

[gusty mantle]

hey hey, i bought a trinket but its not showing up in my inventory to attach to a weapon.
not sure if im doing it wrong.

ive definitely bought it, i own it, but i cant equip it. its not showing up as an option.

nevermind! i am very stupid!

[fluid flare]

haha glad to see you've already solved it!

[fervent ridge]

How did u figure it out in the end

[open anchor]

reposting from general - hey, i got this weird bug in psykanium today, it happens constantly, i am able to load in and move around, but as soon as i try to swap to my ranged weapon game crashes.... i turned off deleted the monster spawner mod, but this persists, anyone have similar issue?

[rigid wasp]

What other mods do you have installed?

[feral crag]

can someone explainn to me how i get the achivement on "dont go down and complete 10 missions on malice or higher"

seems liek it does not count

[little coyote]

10 games in a row without hp dropping to 0 at any point

It does count

[feral crag]

does it have to be like from the start of the map

or i can just quick play and join

[tame sorrel]

It's not exactly gameplay per se, but is it possible to change your character's height and voice/personality at the barber-surgeon yet?

[feral crag]

no not yet

[storm laurel]

height is possible actually
https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/206

iirc he's also trying to figure out how to change the voices too

[tame sorrel]

And that's not against FS's modding policy?

[storm laurel]

don't see why it would be

just makes you go up or down a few pixels

he also has one that gives you more save slots

which has been up for a little over 2 weeks now

so clearly not an issue

[worthy flint]

Modding policy dictates mostly that you don't disrupt other players experiences. Changing your character isn't violating that.

[proven lion]

can anyone help me with monstronium malleus penance?

[tame sorrel]

Oh, ok, fair enough! Thanks Dabarioo and Exhillious!

[vocal nacelle]

Need to be At the start of the map

[feral crag]

Thank you 🙂 I’m 5/10 now

[vocal nacelle]

[strange vigil]

Would anyone be willing to help me with the “just a flesh wound” penance, i have no one to play with on darktide and the bots are not very helpful, aswell as i dont have the skill to do it on my own.

[feral crag]

What you gotta do and sure

[strange vigil]

It’s a heresy only mission and private only “Complete a full mission on Heresy Threat or higher in under 20 minutes, with less than a Wound’s worth of Health remaining for 75% of the time.”

[alpine solstice]

Anybody Want to join me in completing some of the private Penance's? I have to do all three. We could get them together if you don't have them.

[brittle meadow]

do private penances only work in private games? or can you also do them in public?

[quick remnant]

In private only, like how else do you read it ?

[brittle meadow]

dunno, was hoping both works

[quick remnant]

But then why would it be noted ?

[alpine solstice]

I can create a strike team lobby if anyone's interested

Basically got the only 3 penances left

Can help with yours if you don't have em

[proven lion]

what penances do you have left

[alpine solstice]

The Ogryn "Don't Stop me Now"; The Zealot "Just a Flesh Woudn", And the Psyker "Malleous Monsterum". Basically all the redacted ones you need to do on private games

[alpine solstice]

The Ogryn "Don't Stop me Now"; The Zealot "Just a Flesh Woudn", And the Psyker "Malleous Monsterum". Basically all the redacted ones you need to do on private games

[proven lion]

Same, if you want to add me on discord I’ll be available later to help you out

[alpine solstice]

DONE!

[torn briar]

is it me or is the servers really laggy, cos I dont have any such problems with any other games, like tarkov, bf4 etc its just when it comes to darktide

and it only started like since friday

It would be fine for like first 2mins of the run and then all of a sudden just downright unplayable and I would think I would get kicked, but I dont just fighting invisible scavs and stuff

[restive spear]

Anybody around ok with running with someone new because I don't really understand what I'm doing.

[azure zenith]

Is there some source for all of the skins of commodores vestures? I maybe want to buy the Sanctioned Psyker Hallor Henghist, but I dont know if I should wait for something cooler.

[hollow moat]

anyone know the cosmetic shop reset timer ?

[vocal nacelle]

im pretty sure there's a timer below

[quick remnant]

Next Friday

[hollow moat]

thanks

[hollow moat]

I only saw timer for the weapon shop not cosmetic shop somehow

[strange vigil]

What is the best build skill wise for zealots for the “just a flesh wound” penance in anyone’s opinion

[fervent ridge]

First make sure you're not running any extra wounds curio, because having 2 default wounds and dropping down to under 1 is the easiest, this way you can run 3x HP or 3x toughness curios and still be decently tanky for playing at your overall health pool

you'll want a nice lowskilled melee like antax/rashad combat axe with brutal momentum, or heavysword model 9 with headtaker for your melee and then something that can handle beefier enemies or bosses like flamer/bolter/kant shotgun

then it's simply a matter of pressing forward all the time to draw shooters into melee and not hiding behind crates, for feats make sure you run Enemies Within Enemies without from level 5, atk spd at 50% or lower health from lvl 10, holy revenant for your lvl 20 feat, rising conviction for lvl 25 and the two charges of ult for lvl 30

[vocal nacelle]

get a friend or teammate

[onyx knot]

get 2x curios max 20-21% HP + 5% HP
and 1x +3 stamina curio +5%HP

[strange vigil]

Thank you

[rocky quiver]

thinking of changing weak spot damage for carapace armour damage

and if not that changing gloryhunter to shattering impact, should i?

[azure zenith]

Is there some source for all of the skins of commodores vestures? I maybe want to buy the Sanctioned Psyker Hallor Henghist, but I dont know if I should wait for something cooler.

[hard goblet]

They've been posted online before. You can find links on places like Reddit.

[azure zenith]

I already googled a lot and couldnt find them

[hard goblet]

.

[azure zenith]

Thanks!

[hard goblet]

Not sure what you searched for, but that was in my first search results list.

[azure zenith]

I was searching for the psyker premium skins and still cant find them 😕

[hard goblet]

They're in the imgur link. The one that says "Here is the link for all classes".

[azure zenith]

Ahh hI thought those were only veteran skins. Thanks a lot! 🙂

[vocal nacelle]

either carapace or unyielding more info in #ogryn-class

[arctic zephyr]

why do i have a feeling you have to delete your old characters to get the new talent tree, i hop onto my ogryn and i still have the old feat tree post update

[hard goblet]

You should consider checking #❕countdown❕

[prisma crater]

[arctic zephyr]

oh so jfj gaslit me into thinking it was already out

[worthy flint]

That will not be the case.

[arctic zephyr]

yeah i kind of already figured that out, jfj released his video lately and because he had actual gameplay of it i assumed "hey its already out" and i havent really been caught up with darktide for a while, so...

thank god i dont have to delete Quagh, that'd be heartbreaking

[worthy flint]

Yeah idk why he did that. It was a funny video though.

[arctic zephyr]

that and im a fucking blind dummy

wow

behold my legitimate ogryn-esque perception as i gaslight myself into thinking its already out

[fervent ridge]

You're fine

[rare juniper]

hi im new and not sure how to generate a lfg game invite, could someone please explain how 😅

[formal granite]

in discord?

[fervent ridge]

Welcome to Darktide reject

[arctic zephyr]

If it’s a link to an LFG VC, type on #! And without any spaces the name of the channel your in to search for it

[rare juniper]

ty~

[hollow moat]

is there a fix to this ?

[quick remnant]

Wait for patch

[hollow moat]

I see I thought it was my pc thing. thanks

[fervent ridge]

less than 24 hours, hang in there

[hollow moat]

I'm trying to learn the game before patch hit but it won't let me lol.

[fervent ridge]

Oh are you new to Darktide?

[formal granite]

[sleek kelp]

should be explained in #vox-lfg-lexicanum

wow discord where did the rest of these msgs come from

[sleek kelp]

a LOT is changing on the patch so dw you'll be learning with everyone

the main thing i recommend learning is proper melee combat (mixing in dodges and pushes to actually keep space)

[hollow moat]

I bought the game day one but haven't got around to play it till now

[hollow moat]

Melee is really hard for me right now yes

[fervent ridge]

update's less than 10 hours away, you must be excited

I'm actually up to run a couple of games in about 15 minutes if you're also playing

[hollow moat]

the update is gonna be in the morning for me so I wouldn't get to play for like another 17-18 hour

[sleek kelp]

Everyone does at first dw, game opens up once you get used to it tho

[hollow moat]

thanks for the offer but I gonna need to get to bed now sadly

[fervent ridge]

Goodnight

[hollow moat]

Goodnight. Goodluck purging heretic

[thick dust]

Is there any benefit to actually underhand throwing grenades?

[ruby wigeon]

more control to where they land near you, sometimes bouncing is scuffed

especially with zealot

[quick remnant]

Faster fuse time iirc

[opaque compass]

Anyone else can't pick his own nickname?

[fervent ridge]

that's strange

[eager pagoda]

How do I get more frames I have all my stuff on low and I'm still running like 30

[warm nebula]

Turn off ray tracing entirely

Consider “performance” XeSS or DLSS. (FSR 1.0 is no good, apparently…) What’s your hardware?

[eager pagoda]

Yeah I turn those all off already 1650 and a i9

[warm nebula]

1650 is long in the tooth nowadays. Without hardware upgrades, your best bet may be to look into mods

Is it possible for you to drop in like a 2070s/2080s? They might be reasonably priced now

[eager pagoda]

That's just false advertising

[worthy flint]

I forgot what the standard is but I think minimum requirements is for 30 FPS 1080p. Might not consider the FPS drops during hordes though, just base play.

[past flax]

When it says 2/2 modifications, does that mean two slots can be changed indefinitely? Or does it mean you only get two opportunities to re-bless and/or refine?

Like, does re-blessing to add a T3, and then again to upgrade it to a T4 take both modifications?

[mossy nacelle]

of the two blessing slots and two perk slots you can infinitely change two of the four slots

[past flax]

Awesome, thank you!

[mossy nacelle]

sad about crafting right now, just got a near god roll base item I want on my vet but it showed up in my psyker shop

[hushed shell]

someone else just have their sound cut out for some time?

[rigid wasp]

Minimum requirements come with a huge caveat of "maybe they mean playable on the lowest resolution and graphics possible at 30 FPS"

Not that recommended helps much either

[formal atlas]

Have they done anything to fix the plasteel/diamantine ratio?

[fervent ridge]

relative to when

I need to know when the last time you played was

You can earn 805 plasteel / 300 diamante from a normal game of Damnation

So earning mats is in a very fine state right now

[rigid wasp]

I think that kind of is the problem

Or rather, the player doesn't have much to do with diamantine compared to plasteel because rerolling base items and upgrading them to blue is pretty much a plasteel dump, while diamantine is barely used and even higher tiers just require even more plasteel along with what already was spent

I haven't installed the new update yet, but if there's nothing about it in the patch notes, then it's the same

[open sedge]

is there a general resource for how shit like finesse works?

lots of funny magic words in this game that i don't think are explained anywhere in game

or should i just google each thing

[worthy flint]

Ask in the class chats it is relevant to. I've been wanting an actual glossary for this stuff for a while now for this same issue. A lot of really experienced players are active rn since the update just came out.

[storm laurel]

can underhand throw faster after equipping them

[velvet gazelle]

hello. can anyone help me? i have input, delay and server lags of 2 days. i dont know why. my internet ist completly fine, i reinstalled darktide, dns-server change... i dont know anymore...

[open sedge]

thx, was doing that but figured it might be nice to not have to bother them. guess they're stuck with me

[formal atlas]

Why do we have all tiers of perks unlocked? Am I missing something here, why would I not choose just the last tier?

[fervent ridge]

A relic of the old system

Back when we still had to manually reroll for perks

You used to not be able to guarantee a Tier 4 of your choice

you had to keep spending plasteel to roll hoping u got a tier 4 you liked

Eventually they allowed us to just pay a one time fee and pick what we want; after like 8 months

[formal atlas]

So essentially tier 1,2 and 3 are useless?

[fervent ridge]

Yea they blow

[formal atlas]

Huh, well, I'm not complaining

[fervent ridge]

But we used to only get tier 3 and tier 4 was super hard to roll for so most builds settled on t3 perks and had to be happy with it

[formal atlas]

Yea, makes sense. Thanks!

[velvet gazelle]

hello. can anyone help me? i have input, delay and server lags of 2 days. i dont know why. my internet ist completly fine, i reinstalled darktide, dns-server change... i dont know anymore...

[worthy flint]

It's for players on lower difficulties. They don't get as many resources, so they have lower tiers available for light smoothing. Probably will be removed when they actually rework crafting though.

[formal atlas]

I just noticed the price changed, I don't know why I thought it was the same at all tiers. But of course 😄

[strange vigil]

With the new update coming along and in, im here to see if i can get some help for a the “just a flesh wound” penance as bots have continued to fail me and it must be a private game, would anyone mind helping me?

[weary solstice]

any idea what they mean by finesse? classic Fatshark not explaining stuff

also Agrippiina Braced Autogun now increases its firerate after killing enough enemies

[woeful root]

finesse is weakspot + crit + crit weakspot dmg

[solemn saddle]

Every vet seems to be playing VoC

[tiny temple]

can earned blessings only be used for the given weapon class & mark, or can they also be used within the same weapon class?
ex: I want to use a blessing from a Mk V stubber on a Mk IV stubber

[silk glen]

I've found a repeatable exploit in the new bio lightning power. Who should I send it to?

[hushed pier]

Hello. Any suggestions on how to fix or what to do about this? See final perk

[weak sleet]

Weapon class, mercifully.

[tiny temple]

thanks

[weak sleet]

Define Fix? As in the crafting side, which blessing should you use, or the text error? If the latter, unfortunately nothing to do other than wait for a hotfix. It's on FS' end.

[hushed pier]

The latter. Thank you kindly

Side note, what's this Auric level stuff?

[gray temple]

How do I fix the cache builder problem

Game worked fine until today

[woeful root]

basically just a mission board where all the missions are guaranteed to be hi-intensity at least

[gray temple]

Anyone?

[vocal nacelle]

dont need unarmoured, put unyielding instead for monster cooker

[young oracle]

what's the base regen for 1 coherancy?

sorry 2*

[hushed pier]

Other question - do we have a diamantine sink yet?

[formal granite]

no

unless u upgrade a ton of whites to orange

[minor dawn]

i thought players with warhammer plus wer going to get a frame?

[hard goblet]

No.

[carmine sedge]

Possible to get fat shark account / pc on Xbox

[minor dawn]

still not finding it

[echo lintel]

Is Fatshark currently aware that the Empowered Psionics talent effect for Brainburst/Assail is currently applying to Smite? As the 100% peril cost reduction seems to be allowing them to channel Smite infinitely.

Just walked through a Damnation mission with minimal effort because of it.

Included my talent build

This is making missions utterly trivial

[minor dawn]

Have anyone gained there free Frame Named let the Hammer Speak?

[hard hollow]

Is there a way to tell which mission types you haven't done yet as a class?

Might be a dumb question but its been a question since launch, and idk if they ever added that.

[fervent ridge]

No

write it down on a notepad

And keep track of your own progress

[winter compass]

Hey guys, if I have played darktide on gamepass on my pc will my progress transfer over?

[rigid wasp]

ngl I kinda think infinite smite is almost inconsequential

odds are the shit you stunned will allow you time to quell to go back to stunning before anything eventful actually happens

[tough terrace]

Nah how do I do it?

[minor dawn]

Its what i am trying to find out.

[red swallow]

are the +15 toughness passives in the talent trees bugged? my toughness doesnt seem to change no matter how many of them I select

[fervent ridge]

Base toughness of all classes has been lowered

[tough terrace]

Damn well let me know if you figure it out, they should've released it by now

[fluid flare]

yes, they are aware

[fervent ridge]

How do I make them unaware

[solemn gate]

How does refine work?

Do you still get locked out of modifying the other perk if you replace one

[warm nebula]

You can change 2 things out of the four possible changes (2 perks and 2 blessings)

[solemn gate]

ah ok ty

[warm nebula]

For Curios I think you can only change 2 out of the 3 perks. But I am not certain.

[solemn gate]

and if you lose a weapon with earn blessing, is that blessing avalaible on any weapon afterwards, or only the exact same weapon type?

[warm nebula]

I don’t know, but I suspect the blessing is only available for weapons that would be able to roll it. Usually that’s “same type”

(To be honest, I haven’t done much crafting lately; I’ve been waiting for this patch)

[solemn gate]

I havent played in months either so lots have changed

ty for help

[warm nebula]

Good luck and welcome back to Grindtide

[solemn gate]

is there a way of seeing all blessings you have unlocked?

[warm nebula]

I think if you go to add a blessing, it’ll show you hidden ones that you haven’t earned yet. But only the ones that could be applied to the particular weapon.

Also, if you’re looking at a weapon with blessings on it already, the blessings with the magnifying glass are the ones you haven’t earned yet

But I don’t think there is a character-wide “sticker collection”…

[solemn gate]

ah ok

so it probably only worth giving up high level blessings

like 3 or 4

[fervent ridge]

And 3 or 4 only, 1 and 2 you can just unlock to add it to the library to be a completionist

but they don't do anything

[hollow moat]

do weapon share between character of the same class ?

[quick remnant]

no, just blessings unlock

[hollow moat]

i see. was thinking about making more character for weekly quest

[quick remnant]

Currency is shared

[hollow moat]

is there like a great class for running through low difficulty quest for farming currency ?

or any class is about the same

[quick remnant]

To go fast ? Most are the same, though Ogryn are good carry so you would fail less often

[hollow moat]

was not the class i expect lol thanks! I have to go try ogryn out

[rotund radish]

Is anyone else having issues downloading the update? Walked through all the steam troubleshooting steps and other games download fine but Darktide is downloading at a cool 15 Kbps

[steep trail]

what is the highest grey item rating you can get from the armoury?

[quick remnant]

380

[solemn gate]

has there been a performance drop, a couple of months ago in the same map I got a locked 120fps with same settings, but now it is a stuttery mess?

[little coyote]

Your settings may have reset and enabled RayTracing

[solemn gate]

it is 100% off

[little coyote]

Then I don't know, no obvious performance drop after any patch that I've heard of. Yet to try the lates one though

[solemn gate]

I wonder if reducing working threads will make it better

[junior zodiac]

Is there a gear guide anywhere on this discord?

[warm nebula]

Only for Ogryns, and it doesn’t really cover Curios

Feel free to check the pins in the class threads, noting the posting date

I think one +Wound curio is probably necessary, but the rest is kinda up to you. Want more HP? Stack it up. Like Toughness because it regens? Good idea.

A bit of DR(Snipers) and DR(Gunners) isn’t bad

Personally, I lean away from the +Stamina, but if you block-push or block-riposte a lot, it could be worth it.

And I like one Corruption Resist (Grimoires), but that’s because I Quickplay, and sometimes the group needs grims

If you have premade teams, you will know if you are going to go for grims or not

[junior zodiac]

thanks

[bleak leaf]

Anybody has issues with in-game chat? It bugs out sometimes and my messages don't seem to go through

[maiden nimbus]

are there any lags after this update? sometimes i have to press reload 4-5 times and sometimes i am sliding while im running in a straight line..... my ping is normal on discord :/

[knotty wyvern]

havent had any chat or lag issues after update, might just be the regular server stuff.
only thing ive encountered is the frenzy blessing for ogryn rippers being weird.

[cerulean badge]

Do this effect apply only with the Sword attack ?

Or can I switch with my Staff to make a crit after killing with the Sword Special.

Anyone know ?

[worthy flint]

They changed up how certain buffs proc. If I have a Bloodthirsty sword I'll test it for you rq.

[worthy flint]

Alright, I tested it. It doesn't allow you to crit with your ranged weapons, it just makes your next melee hit within ~5 seconds be a crit.

It's sizeable on the Illisi since you can use it to chain cleaving crits back to back, so I'd recommend stealing that off of the Obscurus and putting it on an Illisi if you intend to go for chaining crits like that.

[lofty ivy]

So Im hearing so many conflicting information regarding cross platform will it be a thing or no ps sorry if its the wrong chat

[worthy flint]

What do you mean by "Cross platform"? As in, crossplay? Crosssave?

[cerulean badge]

Thanks a lot ! I will not buy it then. It's could have work perfectly with this .. if only.

[lofty ivy]

Aplogises! cross play

[worthy flint]

There's Crossplay between Steam, PC Gampass, and Xbox.

Here's the Crossplay FAQ if you want to look more into it. https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/crossplay-f-a-q/81423.

[ashen current]

any idea yet what flash missions are?

[worthy flint]

They're unreleased. Not in the game, but they're being worked on. The penance is unobtainable rn.

[lofty ivy]

Thank you!

[minor dawn]

Have anyone gotten the Warhammer Plus exclusive frame called Let the Hammer Speak yet?

[formal atlas]

Anyone know, if this shows up in the buff-bar?
I tried killing enemies with headshots, and it doesn't seem to trigger anything

[rigid wasp]

Does it not increase the stacks?

[toxic idol]

Hey guys, what button do I push on keyboard to get wheel to say for the emporer?

[quick remnant]

Normal the wheel, it's the same as pinging (But holding instead of hitting)

[toxic idol]

ok cool, I'll try this. thanks 👍

[worthy flint]

With that one it just increases the number of stacks you get (the once per second ones) when you get a weakspot kill.

It'll look as if you got 1-2 stacks really fast.

[peak sable]

how do I understand item cards?

[rigid wasp]

Depends on what you don't understand about them, I suppose

[peak sable]

like how do I tell if this item is better than that item

[warm nebula]

Go for items with a high modifier total. 350+ is good stuff

Note: not the overall number, just the modifier section total

Beyond that, you will have to learn a ton about which stats are important and which are dumpstats. Depends on the individual weapon.

And then you will be looking for the good blessings for that particular weapon, but you have a little bit of leeway to swap out if it’s not perfect

Usually you can get good advice if you show a screenshot to the class chat channels. But we do have a few memelords

[storm steeple]

How the hell do you save the talent preset?

[warm nebula]

Make a new loadout on the upper right: “+”

[storm steeple]

hmmm doesnt seem to be saving

[warm nebula]

It saves your weapons, curios, and cosmetics too

Make a second one, then swap back to the first one

[storm steeple]

ahhh yeah that worked

thanks

[warm nebula]

[long citrus]

I'm not the best at paying attention to small details. But did they nerf Plasteel gain?
Pre-patch I was getting about 3k after a day's play. Now it's more like 600~800 a day.

[warm nebula]

People might not be picking up as much as they used to

They got new shiny toys to play with

Can’t be bothered to collect the energy drink cans

[long citrus]

I'm usually the one that runs around collect as much as I can find. So it was just weird for me to see such a drastic dip in amount is all 💀

[warm nebula]

I know I’m not grabbing as much as I used to, personally

Too busy needing revive learning the new stuff

[tepid perch]

Were you spending? They fixed the bug that refunded 80% of plasteel used.

[idle kite]

does anyone know if martyrdom stacks increase with curios wounds?

[upper summit]

Does anyone know the numerical value of the health buff from Nurgle's blessing (for the maelstrom missions)

[old forge]

Does anyone know how to change your sensitivity on xbox? Or the graphics? I cant find the settings, though i wouldnt be surprised if fatshark just didnt add them

[magic sigil]

i think so.

[formal atlas]

Do blitz scale with level now, anyone know?

[rigid wasp]

What's the +% finesse do?

[hard goblet]

Press V to inspect a weapon in your inventory and hover your cursor over Finesse.

[rigid wasp]

okay so the blessing adds to the finesse stat when activated, got it

[drifting furnace]

is it possible to keep my progress if I change from game pass on pc to steam version?

[fluid flare]

Unfortunately not

[dreamy prism]

Hey does sprint efficiency simply decrease the amount of stam sprinting costs? I thought I'd read somewhere that it also increases sprint speed when out of stam but I can't find that back

[tiny temple]

was looking for some advice on rolling curios
is 21% health and 16% toughness the max blessing rolls?
I figure starting with that and getting at least 1 good t4 perk is all you need for BiS right?

can just roll the other 2

[fervent ridge]

21 is max mainstat for a HP curio

17 for toughness

[tiny temple]

ah, 17 gotcha

[fervent ridge]

You are correct

One decent tier 4 perk: gunner resist, toughness regen, flat toughness or HP are all best for Perk #1

perks 2 and 3 you can grab 1 to fill whichever you didn't have from above + 1 of your choice for your own style

[tiny temple]

this is my only good one, figured combat ability regen was worth it

[fervent ridge]

gunner resist because gunners are the biggest threat in Maelstrom besides maniac specials, toughness regen has 100% uptime value, health and toughness similarly, basically any perks that are in effect from start to end of the game are good to consider

That is almost perfect yes

if only 4 combat was a resistance versus sniper or gunner, but it's still very good

[tiny temple]

@fervent ridge I appreciate this btw, got a grasp on curios now
is getting max roll blessings just pure luck? I've only gotten 2 21% hp ever and no 17% toughness
and never from shop

[fervent ridge]

It is pure luck aye, maximize your chances by browsing Melks' Dailies & the hourly shop and maybe a lucky drop via Emperor's Gifts

Such is game

[tiny temple]

thanks

[lament cedar]

im new to the game wtf is psykers ability 😭

[fervent ridge]

Welcome to Darktide, this ability will quell 50% of your peril and shove enemies back some distance

It can also apply some effects like Soulblaze

and its range and additional effects might be modified via Talent Nodes

[gilded gale]

Why is it when im playing in the middle of match i get a loading screen and then suddenly back in the town?

[supple kindle]

Is blade zealot still the best ?

[rigid wasp]

i left the game like four updates ago, came back, almost everything is new.

tried some the new maelstrom levels, kept dying even when sticking close to team. why tf do they spam so much specials and bosses lol

especially the mutant rushes, i can't cope with them

also what's the diff between standard and auric lol

[formal granite]

auric is always hi int

[rigid wasp]

i see

Hi, last time i played was at launch, i'm wondering if you can do regular penances in private games ? Like cliffhanger etc ? Or does it require public ones.

[fervent ridge]

Private games work

[fervent ridge]

You are not meant to win Maelstrom

so don't feel bad

[rigid wasp]

Thanks, just need to find someone to help me then x)

[fervent ridge]

enemy density and spawn rates have been jacked up to destroy even veteran lvl 500+ full damnation squads, people wanted an extra challenge 6th difficulty exterminatus level and maelstrom is the answer, it's purely for fun only

If you want to farm materials or win, you can consistently get 805 plasteel / 300 diamante in standard Damnation

[rigid wasp]

Which staff is best for single target dmg? (Like bosses)

[fervent ridge]

Are we talking about the Combat Knife or the Heavysword, because both have been buffed this patch, hsword was great before and it great now, knife was bad but is now great with the crit nodes and shroudfield and reworks to martyrdom talents

[fervent ridge]

Voidstrike is the highest single damage staff

[icy flare]

There a superior way to level up quickly?

[fervent ridge]

queue higher difficulties as soon as you're able to

But this is not recommended if this is your first playthrough to lvl 30

because you will not know what to expect

And probably do not have the mechanics to compensate for your gear being ass and not doing enough damage to the beefier enemies

Unless you're playing with a premade who can carry you then yea you can speedrun the levels just spamming heresy games

[icy flare]

Gotcha, thank you.

[rigid wasp]

😭 it was quite hard, i'm just learning the new talents for each class

like me and randoms will do fine until mutant rush + boss spawns

[fervent ridge]

my winrates with randoms in maelstrom is like 10%

and we lose at the first area when the entire population of tertium descends on us

[rigid wasp]

seems quite troll honestly, maelstrom

just gonna go back to heresy or damnation

[fervent ridge]

should just play normal damn for the next week or so while we all figure out what our 1 billion talent nodes actually do and how they interact with one another, it's too much to take in right now

[rigid wasp]

ya, i can't handle auric anyways, not only that no one seems to play auric at asia

Anyone else have issues with Steam and Xbox cross play yesterday. I’ve had the game for a big on steam but my friends on Xbox just got it yesterday (the launch day) and we couldn’t play together.

[twin spruce]

In order to complete the for the emperor penance can I run missions on any difficulty

[drifting gale]

question with psykers empowered psionics and assail: when it says "does not consume any charges" does that mean its a free dart or that it doesnt use the empowered charge, cause i took it to mean that it didnt use the EP charge and it does :(

[quick remnant]

It doesn't cost Peril to send them

[drifting gale]

yes but thats not what im asking

[quick remnant]

hy wouldn't it consume an EP charge ?

[drifting gale]

cause it says so

[quick remnant]

Does it consume a shard ammo ?

[drifting gale]

looks like it does but to be fair im constantly throwing shards

[clear drift]

it makes that specific shard that used the EP charge not cost peril and not use from your supply of them

[drifting gale]

mmmmmmmmm

[clear drift]

it helps alot with constant uptime of them flying since killing an elite with it will give you net charges

[long crypt]

Is there a good way to farm plasteel?

[clear drift]

just running damnation missions is currently one of the best

tho there has been an uprising in people not caring about crafting resources so it might be worse now

on average you can get around 800 per mission

that is if people are picking up materials

[worthy flint]

With the skill trees you can build into movespeed (please have a reasonable build under that too) and on Zealot/Vet you can use stealth to avoid getting ganked by the disablers that spawn incase you can't reliably deal with them. Run Damnation and search as much as your team's pacing allows.

[long crypt]

yea just ran my first one and got 800+ v nice

[final kelp]

Trying to work out why i’d consecrate my weapons as I level up since they don’t increase damage. Should I save my tokens until in 30?
Also does having two trinkets with +10% experience stack?

[warm nebula]

Lower stat weapons are cheaper to consecrate. It’s okay to splurge here and there, but yeah I’d say save the bulk of your mats for the strong kit. No idea about +exp, I’ve been Lv30 for months 😅

[steep current]

I have an OK PC, but do you guys have any suggestions for better fps ? Like what takes up the most FPS ? For some reason this game runs like 💩 for me ?

3060 ti
Ryzen 5 5600x
16 gb ram
2k display (144hz)

[final kelp]

Thanks for that! Reddit had some posts from the Pc launch about stacking stats and apparently it works though people think exp is a garbage stat. I just want to level quickly!

[gilded gale]

Im looking for help with an issue where in the middle of a match I get a loading screen. Then I am back in town. No errors, no disconnects, no feedback whatsoever.

It seems to happen in 25% of my games. really game breaking. I just came back to the game yesterday and never had any problems before. How is the game in worse shape now then it was a year ago

[solid wind]

is there anyway to do a solo private match?

or do i haev to be ina group

[silver belfry]

How do I get more blessings? All I have is ghost so far.

[fervent ridge]

what level are you right now

[fervent ridge]

there is no solo play in darktide at the moment

[silver belfry]

I'm level 23

[fervent ridge]

you'll start getting access to tier 3 and 4 blessings more regularly at lvl 30

[solid wind]

that's nuts. i need to do a zealot achievement on private game and i guess i just cant do it lol

[fervent ridge]

from the melks dailies and emperor's gifts

it's just a flesh wound isn't it

[silver belfry]

Sweet and any advice on a guide for veteran. I like to use melee and ranged weapons for specialists and elites.

[fervent ridge]

honestly it's hard to form an opinion right now bcs the patch is so fresh and we have too many options

give it a week

[silver belfry]

Will do

[fervent ridge]

so people figure out builds and what's good

until then you just wing it with whatever looks nice from the nodes

[silver belfry]

I've just been filling out the middle tree all the way down

[fervent ridge]

if you're playing on PC i can tag along and also do some build testing lol

[silver belfry]

I'm on xbox.

is there crossplay yet

I think there is

2324101855

this is my Fatshark code

Soo... is it me or does AMD GPU's crash a lot when the psyker lightning storms all over the place?

[silver belfry]

My name is Allenpoe on the game. So you can send me a friend request if you want.

[fervent ridge]

I think i'll need the fs code, either you add me or I add you

[silver belfry]

Not sure how I put in that code or where

[fervent ridge]

here

[silver belfry]

Ok. I'll check it out in a bit. In a mission

[solid wind]

what do these markers mean under a game icon

the skull and down arrows chevrons

[warm basin]

how important is the shredder stat for chainswords?

[warm basin]

I think it shows the highest difficulty you have copleted the map on

[solid wind]

oh thank you

[warm basin]

If you mean the skull with wings

[solid wind]

yeah! thank you guys

[maiden flower]

Are different Mk's of a weapon just different styles or are higher Mk's stronger?

[ocean flower]

does bomber damage resist work yet, or is it still just for their kicks?

[woeful root]

works for the fire as well

[rigid wasp]

I haven't played in like a year. How do you work towards the strongest gear? Do you just check the shop for high base stats then refine and bless?

[ocean flower]

that is an option (at either melk or the requisition), but you can also buy infinite gray items from Brunt's Armory to fish for high base stats and refine from there

[hard goblet]

A salvo is determined by when the recoil of a gun begins and resets.

[minor field]

its been a lonnnnng time since ive played, whats the basic difference between regular and auric missions other than the modifiers for the enemies, and the maelstrom mission in the middle? im sure its been asked a lot recently, so sorry in advance

[night forum]

Light em up, hail of fire, or thick of the fray for the barrage ability?

Ogryn chat refuses to answer this question.

[open sedge]

i came back to the game and have been kinda relearning and levelling classes. starting to do damnation again and was wondering what is special about auric missions

[woeful root]

the auric mission board is just a mission board that guarantees all missions on it to be hi-intensity or greater

[open sedge]

oh cool

[woeful root]

e.g, the maelstrom on the normal board is always normal int, and the maelstrom on the auric board is always hi int

so if you have two hi-int missions on the normal and auric board, they'll be the same mission

no other hidden property

[open sedge]

so there's no other special thing, like an auric hi int shock troop will otherwise behave the same as a hi int shock troop you find on normal board (or are the double mods only shown on auric)

[woeful root]

yeeeee, they'll be the same

[open sedge]

awesome ty

prob not gonna do hi int damnation for a bit although had one earlier that went fine

feel like its too chaotic to queue pubs

[woeful root]

it can be some hot sketch

[weak sleet]

Yeah, with all the new/returning players it's a bit hit or miss.

[gloomy vigil]

There any good tips for keybind set ups? I find sliding with ctrl not something I do naturelly mid combat.

[hard goblet]

Personally, I only ever slide if I'm actively disengaging/putting distance between me and something.

So I rarely ever need to use it.

[woeful root]

sliding is useful for certain weapons to avoid the slowdown from using it (such as pswords) or for them sweet sweet i-frames

i personally have my sprint/dodge on Shift, so that frees up the keys where my thumb rests on to be used for a bunch of things, like crouching

[old forge]

Does anyone know how to change your sensitivity on xbox? Or the graphics? I cant find the settings, though i wouldnt be surprised if fatshark just didnt add them

[hard goblet]

You can see which armor or health type you're up against by going into the meat grinder and damaging an enemy.

[worthy flint]

+Maniac stuff applies to the Maniac armor class. Flamers, Mutants, Trappers, and Dreg Ragers (the gross skin lookin ones w/ axes) are all Maniacs.

[hard goblet]

If I remember correctly, maniacs are pinged as ragers.

Though the flamethrower enemies are also counted as maniacs.

[little coyote]

ah yeah my mistake, maniac is the healthtype shared with the specials Exhillious mentioned as well as the dreg rager

was thinking ragers == maniacs

[pastel plinth]

changing graphics isnt usually a console thing

[nova wharf]

which is the best spot for getting 380s? melk or exchange?

[fervent ridge]

Brunts

[little coyote]

Melk sometimes if you're lucky, but I often use it just for the blessings the weapons have there

but spamming Brunts will get you more consistent results

[hard goblet]

It's probabilties. You have a limited amount of currency to spend with Melk which you will have far less of than dockets.

So be prepared to spend upwards of anywhere from 250-500k dockets at Brunt's for a handful of 370+ rating weapons.

So, is anyone else having audio bugs where their weapons are 'echoing' and playing multiple equip sounds or shoot sounds from staves?

[rigid wasp]

Best 2 perks on Duelling Sword for Psyker?

[frail lion]

Cleave on a weapon is that weapons ability to pass through multiple enemies right?

And what blessings or perks on the veterans bolter would yall consider the strongest? I currently have damage boosters for carapace and flak enemies. And a follow up to this is what is the difference between Carapace and Flak enemies?

[warm nebula]

That’s the end result of more cleave, yeah. It’s Complicated ™️

[warm nebula]

I think we’re working that out as we speak. I’m gonna check the patch notes, but IIRC the BiS was Pinning Fire, but it caught a nerf in the patch.

+DMG(Carapace) and +DMG(Flak) are solid Perks. You’re gonna run into a lot of armored enemies in your missions; it’s just good value

Bolters might be special tho… they might have a bit of built-in armor hate? Well, that just means those %ages go further, maybe

(The trouble with Bolter is ammo economy this patch. But that’s another story)

Yeah, Pinning Fire IV went from +20% to +5%

[urban harbor]

the laspistol viable for zealot after this round of changes?

or is heavy sword ix and bolter still preferred?

[frail lion]

Thanks

[old forge]

So thats a no, great

[twilit sentinel]

As a kinda new player,why would you ever choose a specific mission when quick play gives bonus rewards?

[void forge]

To avoid or select a specific modifier

[warm nebula]

Maybe you wanna practice that particular mission map? ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I dunno, I play quickplay exclusively and it’s fine

[thorn hornet]

What’s the best recon lasgun?

I think there’s like two right?

[stuck belfry]

what is special about Auric anyways?

only tried one match thus far and it didn't feel much different from normal

[woeful root]

the auric mission board only guarantees that the missions in it are hi-intensity

so if you have a hishock on the normal board and a hishock of the same mission on the auric mission board, they will be the exact same mission

The other difference is that the maelstrom on the normal board is always normal intensity, and the maelstrom on the auric board is always hi-int

[stuck belfry]

alright thanks, i didn't try Maelstrom yet and don't really intend to.

[topaz dragon]

about mods, is there anything i need to knwo before delving into nexusmds?

do i need a mod manager or something?

[languid kelp]

Um, how does ripper gun can opener work? only for bayonet?

[vocal nacelle]

yes stab 1-2 times unload 1-2 times = dead crusher

[bright folio]

Do you guys have any suggestions for completing this? Any specific missions that involve an extended horde encounter? have not had the best luck so far

Took the soulblaze talents that makes it spread and possibly grant me a stack on soulblaze kill + using the staff but it's still near impossible for me

[ripe fossil]

sad I have no friends

[dreamy anchor]

I'm new AF, and noticed alot of high level builds videos use 3 "star" perks instead of 4. Why's that?

[bright folio]

When modifying your weapons, you can only change up to 2 things about it (either a perk and a blessing, both perks, both blessings), so they probably just ended up keeping the level 3 perk as it wasn't the most important thing that needed to be changed

[dreamy anchor]

Oh, word, ok! Good to know

[gaunt pecan]

some 3 star perks are not tiered bonuses

in other cases, the difference of 12.5% vs 15% is not a huge deal when you just count 1:2 hits vs 1:3 hits

like when you get all your bonuses your just counting on everything stacking killing thing in two hit three hit or four hit

[fervent ridge]

You'll develop a preference for specific maps once you get some hours in and if you stick with it till you're max level you'll reach a point where you're so rich that forgoing that 10% bonus rewards is a fine trade for getting to play a map you already know the layout of

Also for the purpose of contract farming specific events on specific maps will unleash waves of one enemy type which can make doing weeklies a breeze

i.e Magistrari Oubliette TM8 Assassination ascender event spawns 5-15 packs of scab/dreg faction scaling with difficulty at the platform dropdown on the far side of the ascender; having this meta knowledge allows you to camp where they drop and hold left mouse to grind them up

[frosty agate]

What is classed as a successful dodge on blessings like with Riposte or Precognition on Dueling Swords?

Dodging just before an attack hits?

[fervent ridge]

You can hear a whoosh sound if a melee attack would whiff you

[frosty agate]

Ah ok nice

[long crypt]

are earnt blessings account wide or char only?

[strange kiln]

account wide, although they are only applicable to the weapon family

which throws people off

ie, combat axes share with other combat axes but not tactical axes
