[quasi steeple]

Hey, are pc and console able to play together?

[fervent ridge]

Yes

[quasi steeple]

awesome, boyfriend has xbox so im trying to convince him to get the game haha

[fervent ridge]

xbox is getting 90€ worth of free premium currency for the same base price as PC right now

So buying it right now would be insanely profittable for you

[warm nebula]

#jealous

[fervent ridge]

Like you are buying 7 full sets of cosmetics worth of stuff for free just because they attached a fuckload of Aquilas to the xbox version for some reason

[undone moth]

kriegs

kriegs is always worth it

[eager pagoda]

Does anyone know how to get this mod to work I have other mods like the third person mod that work but this one doesn't want to

[latent canopy]

is there any way to get better base rating than 380?

[fervent ridge]

No

[pliant bluff]

I removed a blessing from a surge staff, and tried putting it on a trauma staff but it looks like I don’t own it. Are removed blessings saved for only one type of staff?

[void forge]

yes, all staves have a unique blessing pool

[pliant bluff]

dang, that’s a little annoying, tried putting the one that gives crit with peril, but unfortunate that’s how that works

Ty tho

[void forge]

funnily enough, the force swords are shared cause why not

[iron kernel]

Is "Going out with a bang" penance to kill 1 or 3 elites? Every yt guides says its 3 but description of the penance says 1. Did they change it?

[fervent ridge]

3

[pale knoll]

I just did it by accident

it was one for me

[rigid wasp]

only 1 after one of patches

[pure thorn]

how have psykers gotten the malleus monstronum penance?

[stuck shoal]

Is this worth getting for Brutal Momentum IV?

[rigid hedge]

DO any have problem with starting the game since yesterday?

[astral warren]

where i can get some info about what perks and blessings work best with each weapon?

[quick remnant]

Go to their forum #🎒support-issues

[frail summit]

just search in each of the class channels

[frail summit]

the BB monster 90% one? just ask in LFG for help

[carmine plank]

Is there any way to change your character’s voice after starting?

[hardy orchid]

Would 3 Shield Ogryns be willing to help a psyker out with malleus monstronum

[silk kelp]

Help, I can't find where is the framerate settings

Should there be a place to find a setting for framerate caps?

[hardy orchid]

We all wish so, relaunching the game usually helps me

[silk kelp]

Wait, was the framerate cap removed a while ago?

And now it's just "low framerate means your PC is shit"?

[hardy orchid]

[silk kelp]

Ok found it

Yeah my PC is just a bit shit

[hardy orchid]

We dont have that luxury on Series sadly

I believed in ya

[onyx fog]

Are you having framerate issues?

[silk kelp]

A bit, but mostly just complaining not getting 100+ fps on 2160p

I'm gonna try to DLSS it a bit more

See if that gives better FPS

I'm not even sure if there is a PC build that can do high graphics settings 2160p and consistent 144 fps

Yeah I guess this is good enough for now

[hard vector]

Is "re-bless" one-time use or can I use it on multiple weapons in the future?

[hard goblet]

Every weapon and curio can have 2 slots modifications spent on them whether they're perk or blessing alterations.

Those slot's perks and/or blessings can then be changed in the future. The slots you didn't choose to modify will be locked to whatever they were.

Once you've earned a blessing to your "sticker book" it's not a limited resource.

[vast tundra]

Bruh, how are we meant to deal with monstrosities? Currently lvl 15 but with what weapons and paths are available to me right now feels hard as shit

[hard vector]

Thank you for the detailed answer :]

[hard goblet]

Every monstrosity has a weakpoint and a moveset you can learn to dodge. What difficulty level are you playing at where they're giving you trouble?

[summer pier]

should I bother with “earning blessings” before 30? How does the blessing tier level work?

[vast tundra]

Uprising, it’s just that they chase hard and with the hordes coming at us it’s to stay alive

[summer pier]

you wouldn’t happen to be referring to the Daemonhost are you

[vast tundra]

Yeah that green guy thing

[hard goblet]

The highest tier and lowest tier of blessing a weapon can "roll" upon being consecrated are dependent on the base rating of the weapon. Before level 30, don't bother wasting the resources. I only consecrate weapons with at least a base rating of 360+ and only see tier 3 and if lucky tier 4 blessings.

[summer pier]

It’s like the Witch in L4D. You’re not really supposed to wake it up unless you have a chad group(thammer zealot )

[hard goblet]

Ah... yeah that's not something you should be fighting.

Every daemonhost spawn is 100% avoidable.

There is always a path around it you can take.

[summer pier]

Thank you, that’s just I what I needed to know. Feels bad thinking I’m preparing for later by earning core perks but they’re tier 1

[hard goblet]

Some paths might skirt a bit close to it, but the game never forces you to fight one.

[summer pier]

Is there any reason to intentionally fight one? Are there bonus rewards aside from penances?

[hard goblet]

Nope.

It's just there to affect the mission's flow and present an optional challenge.

[summer pier]

And to bait new players

I’ve definitely been guilty of shooting at the spooky green thing

[hard goblet]

If you must fight a daemon host, its weak point is the head. Once the first person it targets (the one that woke it up/dealt the most damage to it) is downed, it locks into an animation where it sits still. That's your most effective damage window.

[summer pier]

But it doesn’t like drop plasteel or something?

I read somewhere that enemies killed affects the mission xp reward so it’s beneficial to take the horde fights. Is there some kind of xp bonus for a daemonhost being killed?

[vast tundra]

Didn’t know that, thanks

[hard goblet]

After it consumes that player, it'll target the player that did the most amount of damage to it after it woke up. Then it will disappear after killing the 2nd player.

[hard goblet]

That I'm not sure on. I know a mission's exp reward is listed on the mission terminal.

Never bothered counting the exp myself.

[summer pier]

and this recent rework hasn’t changed that system right? just the classes?

[vast tundra]

What level does it make sense to do difficulties higher than uprising? Every time I’ve done a malice run team gets destroyed in the first 5 minutes lol

[hard goblet]

Correct.

[copper parcel]

Malice and Heresy are rather notorious for bad teammates, it might not necessarily be your fault

But if you want a number, I'd say 15

10-15

[hard goblet]

I'd recommend you keep track of your own play and see how you do personally to determine that. Are you getting through Uprisings without taking any damage? Are you never going down? Are you effectively keeping pace with your team? Can you keep track of the audio cues for specials? Are you not taking chip damage during hordes due to paying attention and controlling your spacing?

If yes, then try a harder difficulty and adjust again.

[summer pier]

well said. the only thing you can do is improve your own play. if it really is people queueing that aren’t ready, then you will eventually get in a lobby with like experienced players.

I have 2/9 malice runs completed and one was a hi shock gauntlet. It was hard but the most fun I’ve had in this game by a long shot.

[hard goblet]

Essentially you're looking to hone your situational awareness and skills so that you can perfectly clear a difficulty without any damage, downs, etc.

And as you get good at that, you'll notice just how good you can be.

[vast tundra]

Makes sense. Thanks guys 🙏🏾

[hard goblet]

The audio cues in particular are something I notice players miss in lower difficulties.

So they end up caught unawares by trappers, mutants, flamers, snipers, etc.

Tunnel visioning on poxwalker hordes.

[ocean vale]

Did someone figure out how toughness is calculated including the bonuses from curios and from the skill tree?
Specifically - I've got +15x3 from the tree, which should give me 145 on the Psyker right?
Then +44% from the curios should amount to 145x1.44 = 208 toughness as I understand it ...
Somehow I've got 157

Even if it would be 144% from the base and then +45 from the skill tree

that's still 189

[hard goblet]

Pretty sure the curios are calculating off your base toughness?

And not your toughness after talent tree nodes?

Ah wait

No you already checked that.

[ocean vale]

yea, still not the number

157 is just ... odd

[hard goblet]

Lookong back, there might be a bug related to talent tree toughness nodes? #gameplay-help message

Not sure how widespread it is.

[rare gyro]

How exactly do i stop these daemonhosts from one shotting teammates

[hard goblet]

You can't.

[woeful root]

play zealot or gunlugger ogryn

[hard goblet]

Daemonhosts are going to kill 2 teammates guaranteed if aggroed unless you have a zealot/gun ogryn that's properly built.

The better solution is to not aggro them in the first place.

[hard goblet]

#gameplay-help message

[dark kernel]

Best map to push creatures off ledges?

[rigid wasp]

Psykers can also tank daemonhosts with le funi build

[hard goblet]

The Torrent.

If you're looking for that psyker penance.

[fleet pulsar]

Hey, i just started playing and i was wondering if there are any big tips i should know so i dont ruin my build as soon as i start

Playing Ogryn

[hard goblet]

There's no way to really "ruin your build" considering talent points are free.

[fleet pulsar]

Can you Respec?

Must have missed it

[hard goblet]

Only thing I'd advise is focusing on getting to level 30 while learning the fundamentals here: #gameplay-help message

[hard goblet]

Right click on a node to refund the point.

[fleet pulsar]

Ohh thank you!

[hard goblet]

You have to go from the bottom up when refunding.

[fleet pulsar]

Thanks for the help

The game is a blast

[fresh elm]

Yoo.. To get higher gearscore drops do you need to keep buying higher gearscore items from the shop? and do you also need to equip these items or is owning them enough

Really tried googling it but couldnt figure it out

[hard goblet]

It's based on your character's level.

Raising the level raises the ceiling.

And to a much lesser extent, raises the floor.

Equipping or owning makes no difference.

[fresh elm]

ah that's great to know thanks! A friend suggested it worked that way, but he wasn't sure. Now I can stop wasting my resources X) cheers!

[dark kernel]

Yep, thank you!

[hard goblet]

Just get to the end where you're interrogating the final security stack with those 2 bridge chokepoints.

Really easy to knock off poxwalkers there.

[gaunt pecan]

only way at the moment is to have teammates with specific weapons

Veteran: Plasma Rifle
Zealot: Hammer
Ogryn: Shield
Psycher: a headscratcher after the new update.

I've seen someone just delete a daemon knocking the daemon off a ledge, so high impact weapon or psycher smite might work

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/zaezax/the_best_way_to_kill_a_daemonhost/

[rigid wasp]

You can respec all points by hitting E in the talent tree, or whichever is the keybind at the bottom right

[gaunt pecan]

scratch that the only way to probably knock back daemon is probably with Ogryn charge

[copper parcel]

Chainsword for Psyker, Laspistol, Chainsword, Krak Grenades, and Helbores if you've got hotshot aim for Veteran, Bleed perks on Heavy or Flechette Rippers on Ogryns and Chainswords on Zealots are all good options in addition to what you've listed

With varying potential at the task

But all what I'd consider "good" at the task

[violet anchor]

sorry for interrupting but what is the current best method for farming Plasteel? is it still just spamming Damnation Low Int?

[gaunt pecan]

it depends on everybody if the tilt at the sight of a daemon.

rando teams the rule is simply the less time focusing on daemon the more time killing everything else - longer fight means more tilting and more chances to swarmed by horde

[copper parcel]

Damnation Low Int is good, yes

Bring a dependable friend if you've got one

Damnation matches are starting to yield worser teammates

Other than that, should be fine

[violet anchor]

ive noticed

[gaunt pecan]

so my weight on dps vs whole lotta damage is just how experienced everyone is

[copper parcel]

I just figured I'd pitch all those options in because while they're not Thunder Hammer level, they are consistent at the task

At the very least Chainswords for Psyker, it's by far their best single target damage I've found

[violet anchor]

and how about Blessing Farming? is it better to try for the Emperors gift? or to buy a Profane and level it twice for random rolls?

[hard goblet]

Completing missions will naturally reward you with Emperor's Gifts. Them and Melk's limited offerings aren't really realiable "farming" options though. They're just incidental.

The only way you can actually farm weapons is running Damnation for plasteel, buying weapons from Brunt's, vendoring anything below base rating 360, and then consecrating on the RNG slot machine.

[violet anchor]

I thought as much

[gaunt pecan]

fastest is to do Heresy or above, once you hit stats enough to participate in Auric, the plasteels will come your way

plasteel for upgrading that is or simply getting emperor's gift after each win

in any case, level 3 vs level 4 blessings don't fall too far from the tree (i.e. like 12.5% power/crit chance vs 15%), let the min-maxing happen on its own and you wouldn't have to stress about a thing

[hard goblet]

Auric doesn't have any higher plasteel ratios as far as I know. It is better for docket farming though.

[gaunt pecan]

idk maybe it was the special conditions but i remember just banking on plasteel during a phase shortly before the build update

[hard goblet]

Oh that was a bug.

Any plasteel spent would refund 80% of it.

[tall stag]

Hey I've not played since the beta/ long time ago , are either of these lasguns good / which should I try to improve ? Just spent my resources on the legendary one them came across a white tier that has 16% higher other stats for -8% stopping power , not sure what I should prioritise

Oh and is the mg IV any comparison for outright damage or the 79% nowhere near mg XII 79%? I still don't understand how the Devs display stats

[red swallow]

is combining blessings to increase their rank a thing? thought I remembered reading about that ages ago

[hard goblet]

They originally mentioned that in their crafting dev blog, then went back on it. Too player friendly.

[hard goblet]

I'd recommend you use the inspect key V on them in your inventory.

[red swallow]

got it, so no reason to grab weapons with rank 1-2 blessings

[unreal jetty]

What does weapon mobility do?

[hard goblet]

All stat bars are relative to that specific variant. So comparing an MG XII with an MG IV won't yield any comparison from just looking at the bars.

[hard goblet]

None of those guns are at an endgame base rating so I wouldn't worry about investing in either of them.

If you aren't level 30, you won't be able to acquire the higher base rating weapons like those of 370+ from Brunt's Armory.

The general goal is to reach level 30, spend dockets at Brunt's Armory and only keep weapons that have a higher than 360+ base rating (for consecrating for blessing farming or to keep and use if you find one with stats you like), and then consecrate as needed filling out your blessings sticker book until you have what you want.

[hard goblet]

The mobility stat affects whether or not you get a boost to sprinting with that weapon drawn and how much of a boost you get, your dodge distance, and the number of times you can dodge with 100% efficiency before you start losing distance on dodges altogether.

On some weapons it will also affect spread.

The inspect menu is your friend.

[tall stag]

Thanks , I got level 30 when the game first came out it kept my level 30 dude with 25k kills I just don't remember how to get the good stuff , so just keep buying the lasgun from brunts armour till it drops higher than 360-70?

[hard goblet]

Yeah, unless you just like completing that part of the blessings category for completionism.

[hard goblet]

That's the general idea, yes. Fish for high base rating weapons, consecrate them, hope for the best, run missions for plasteel, rinse repeat.

[gaunt pecan]

my recommendation is change at least one of the blessings to something with a damage condition, the perk bonuses are decent

tbf if someone can confirm if suppression has been fixed, then keeping suppression might be useful

Kantrael is generally a specialist cleaner or for shooting down a tight hallway from my experience

[tall stag]

Ok cheers , yeah I just didn't know how to get better than my current lasguns as I bought a lot of them and accidentally spent 30k on mg IV before realising I was buying wrong ones lmao

[hard goblet]

Suppression immunity via weapon blessings has been made an inferior option because Veteran's talent tree has a node that makes you immune to suppression.

[tall stag]

I had another gold XII las with deadly accurate 90% crit damage or something , I surrendered the weapon and just need 30 plasteel to put it on the other las

So I just buy lasgun xiis from brunts armoury and just repeat until a good one , there's nothing else I have to do to get a higher rating one

[hard goblet]

Yep.

The floor and ceiling for possible base ratings you can see are determined by character level.

So if you're level 30, you can potentially see high base rating weapons.

[tall stag]

AHH ok just need to grind gold then Welp guess that's what I'm doing all night

[shut oriole]

Just got bafk to game, where can i find builds?

[warm nebula]

For Ogryn, check the pins in #ogryn-class . For the other classes, idk YouTube maybe?

[tiny valve]

is the toughness addition from the talents not adding correctly? It looks like i get less toughness than what the 100+modifiers from the talent tree should give me

[tall grove]

any other chorus users find their pulses not actually triggering? ive had a few missions where my character will pull out the relic, but no pulses. i'd have to put the icon away and pull it back out for the ability to start working

[warm nebula]

We think the fifth toughness node is getting ignored. Or at least that was what one of the experiments revealed…

[hard goblet]

The #veteran-class channel has a thread for builds.

[warm nebula]

Turns out every class channel has a builds thread… when did that happen 😅

[fervent ridge]

About a week ago

[twilit sentinel]

What should I change on this?

[fervent ridge]

Both perks to 25 Flak 25 Maniac

[silk jetty]

Does Savage Sweeps do anything noteworthy on a regular Chainsword? I rolled a nice chainsword and I can't make up my mind on if I should keep the current blessings and change both Perks, or change one perk and one blessing.

I'm always confused on Cleaving as a state in general.

[fervent ridge]

Savage Sweep to Rampage

15 block to 25 Flak

[silk jetty]

Awesome, thank you!

[tall stag]

So is this a good one ?

Also does anyone know of that 'primary action' is supposed to be base damage , or DPS etc ? Even on inspection I still don't know how to view the damage numbers

[fervent ridge]

That's how much you do with your left mouse click

That's a pretty near perfect MG12

[tiny valve]

yeah my ogryn is supposed to have 180 base from talents but i have 164 and thats with 2 +13% toughness curios

[silk jetty]

What Blessings do you go for on the MK12 nowadays? Mine still has that first shot damage blessing on it

[tall stag]

Ok thank you, do you happen to know what would make it perfect , either highest possible rating or same rating more damage etc ? But I presume I got lucky on the draw then

[fervent ridge]

77 is the highest possible breakpoint you wanna push on Mg12 and the 3 most important mg12 stats are damage, stability and ammo

If your mobility and ammo had swapped places here this would go from great to literally perfect

[tall stag]

AHH ok so it's the ammo that takes it down a little ,

[fervent ridge]

But it will do, 681 is still alot of bullets, now you wanna roll for Flak + Maniac damage as perks and OPENING SALVO (+15% dmg on first shot) as blessings, then the 2nd blessing can be anything

[silk jetty]

Nice

[fervent ridge]

o. salvo and those two perks make the gun good versus literally everything minus carapace but that's where the melee or nades come into play

[tall stag]

My other lasgun has maniac haha ,I've not played since release window so not sure what the maniacs are

My las before that had opening salvo 18%

[silk jetty]

I rolled a lasgun with perfect stats but then it rolled like +15 stamina and +infested damage lol

[fervent ridge]

Maniac are the Flamers, mutants, ragers, trappers- high threat specialists

Flak are the flak shooters, jacketed bruiser enemies, the body of maulers, black ragers, the helmet of the club wielding bruisers

Flak + Maniac cover like 70% of all enemies in the game

[tall stag]

So just need to combine those perks on this gun, I might grind a few more try to swap the ammo and mobility while grinding plasteel ,

But should I keep other lasguns , build them to gold and try learn certain blessings or , just reroll perks

[fervent ridge]

Farm t4 blessings

[silk jetty]

This is the one I rolled from a while back, the Infested damage bugs me lol

Does Opening Salvo count for every shot you do? Or do you need to slow down in your fire rate?

[tall stag]

What's a T4 blessing Vs blessing in general ? I don't think they had blessings when I last played so I just know them as 'blessings'

[tall stag]

Now that's some beautiful stats , wanna swap ?

[silk jetty]

If I could dupe it I would haha

Blessings come in different tiers, from 1-4, with 4 being the strongest version of the blessing. You can "turn in" your weapon at Hadron in order to permanently unlock that blessing for all weapons of that weapon type in the future to put on the gun

[tall stag]

This takes me back to spamming guns in the grinder in borderlands pre sequel

[silk jetty]

haha

[tall stag]

Ok , how do you know what a T4 one is or should I just Google Al the possible t4s

[silk jetty]

Look at my gun, see how Opening salvo has IV next to it?

that's the t4 version

Ghost has I

and so on lol

If you go to Hadron and click on Re-Bless you'll be able to see how it works.

Earn Blessing is where you turn in your gun permanently but you get to keep one of the Blessings to put on another gun permanently.

[tall stag]

Awesome thank you ,

So all the lasguns I buy trying to get stats like yours , I should grind them to legendary and then try get the good T4 stats to surrender

[silk jetty]

You can! I also check out Melk's store and see if any of the legendaries he's selling there have traits I want as well

I know sometimes just grinding them to blue is a good choice as well

[timber pasture]

are random teammates in this game normally not the greatest

[minor dawn]

is it me or is every mission acting as a High-Intensity Shocktroop Gauntlet

[timber pasture]

i just got the game and like i cant survive a mission

[silk jetty]

For some reason level 1 and level 2 difficulty missions are super tough right now, I made a new character and the spawns are a little nuts for the level lol

And yeah there's a lot of new people that don't really know how to stick together and run off or don't know how to dodge/push and kill mobs

[timber pasture]

i got killed by something a second ago

think it was called a demonhost

[silk jetty]

Oh yeah, you want to avoid those. They're like witches from left 4 dead.

[timber pasture]

spawned in the first encounter of the whole mission, downed me and then instakilled me

[timber pasture]

OHHHH

[silk jetty]

yeah hahaha

[timber pasture]

that makes so much more sense 😭

[silk jetty]

The game doesn't really explain what they are so a lot of new players attack them

[timber pasture]

it saw me before i saw it

[silk jetty]

but yeah stay away from them, don't shoot them

yeah sometimes you run fast or are fighting a mob or something and run into them lol

The Daemonhost basiclaly will pick 2 people in your party and kill them, then vanish, unless you can kill them.

If you have a flashlight on your gun, don't shine it on them either.

[orchid viper]

Noted

[silk jetty]

It's more or less just "Try to walk around it", you'll almost always hear it if it makes the weird "I'm NOT WICKED, I'm NOT I'm NOT"

and other weird crazy babble 😂

[timber pasture]

fluent in yapanese

[silk jetty]

yes

[timber pasture]

am i supposed to just spam quickplays or

[silk jetty]

that's what I do lol

you get a little bonus

but if you want to run a specific level that seems easy or fun go ahead and choose that, it'll matchmake you as well

Don't forget to shove and dodge when in melee! #1 tip for surviving as a new player, dance around and don't get hit.

[tall stag]

Unless your playing with friends , or making sure you have completed every mission then yeah just do quick play , make sure you have high enough rated gear when you want to advance difficulty , I'm level 30 with legendary gear and I usually chill on 2nd difficulty when. Not tryharding challenges , and yes , stick with your team mates , help each other , but never rely on them , you can only trust people you party up with , lfg on this discord has more reliable team mates

[fervent ridge]

Yes, this is the normal experience

if you're still playing I can get on in 10 mins so you can level without fearing wipes

[hard goblet]

Just a note but there are rules for who it decides to target. The first target will be whomever aggroed it or dealt the most damage to it before it woke up. The second target will always be whomever did the most damage to it after it woke up and before it kills its first target.

Every Daemonhost you encounter is 100% avoidable. You are never forced to fight one.

[silk jetty]

yeah

[timber pasture]

do these words mean anything

[timber pasture]

yeah i just finished a mission but a teammate ran into one so we let him die and rescued him a few minutes later

[hard goblet]

They're meant to give you an idea of the archetype and use case that weapon falls under.

[woeful root]

they sound cool and they give a gist of what the attack is like, but those words don't strictly have any technical properties

[rigid wasp]

anybody have advice on how to get the "make every shot count" penance for veteran?

[regal surge]

is there a mods channel

[jovial trail]

Okay, so

What am I doing wrong here?

I have had 4 warp charges

Popping heads

But not getting any progress for this

I even tried unleveling brain rupture thinking 'MAybe it thinks brain rupture doesn't count"

But, no

Still no progress

I'm at a loss and rather frustrated

[jovial trail]

Take a precision weapon that doesn't fire a lot, honestly.

Only take shots you know will hurt

Ideally focus on melee

[worthy flint]

Run a Kantrael Shotgun. Use the fire rounds against hordes and against patrols. It counts as a proper hit if you hit a Bulwark's shield with the fire round. During the final holdout, just blast a horde with the primary fire.

[worthy flint]

The warp charge keystone features an addon that lets you get 6 maximum stacks. Try using that and see if it allows for progress. If it doesn't work, submit a report here: https://discord.com/channels/727074276724965407/1158024905804226601. Many penances are a bit bugged, or their descriptions aren't accurate.

[jovial trail]

F.

[hard goblet]

#📌communities

[hard goblet]

I did that idiotic penance by using a revolver and running the smelter complex mission. At the end of it, I asked for the other 3 players to wait there while I slowly emptied my revolver in the final hallway before extraction. It's a long straight hall that only has poxwalkers spawn.

[storm laurel]

easiest with a low ammo roll kantreal shotgun and just spamming special fire

[cedar dune]

Guys i noticed when we kill special/elite enemies we get a "whoosh" sound, but i noticed there are 2 different whooshes, one high pitched Whoosh, the other is more metallic whoosh. Anyone knows which one is for which type of enemies?

Like for the sniper i get the metallic whoosh, for gunners i get the high pitch whoosh

[hard goblet]

Might be the difference between specials vs elites?

[jovial trail]

Pain, you were right about the warp charge keystone

WHICH IS LAME

[frail summit]

i mean..that penance is just gonna happen naturally playing psyker with bb anyways

[tall stag]

Game can do one , and that was when I last played when game was released , any ideas to finish them ?

[hard goblet]

You'd probably be able to convey the information more easily if you just used Windows Key + Shift + S.

Because I have no idea what you're asking right now.

[limpid sapphire]

learn something new everyday. thank you for that tip

[sacred glade]

will playing with mods get me banned from the game?

the tldr is that it's ok if it's just clientside stuff and it's not straight up cheating; stuff like healthbars/macros/etc. in missions have been fine so far and whatnot

here's fatshark's modding policy https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/darktide-modding-policy/75407

[tall stag]

My earlier screenshots were that , I'm in Sweden at my fiance's right now and it's logged into her discord so I have to do that , send it to my discord , save it to the phone then paste , so thought f it just take a quick pic lol

But true I see now it didn't catch the challenges , FFS my b 😂 ,

It's asking if anyone has ideas for how to get 90 kills in 30 seconds and I think the second one is headshots within 10 seconds , I play veteran with lasguns

[undone moth]

What are some good zealot axes

[fervent ridge]

the rashad is the #1 combat axe followed closely by the antax

ideal perks are Flak and Maniac

ideal blessings are brutal momentum and then a power blessing

headtaker or decimator, whichever is your preference

Shred is not good, c-axe is not a crit weapon

[urban path]

But isnt every weapon a crit weapon for zealot tho? burning piety+scourge is insane

[fervent ridge]

if you commit to that path you can force it to become a crit weapon, but you get more uptime with sticking to the weapon's BIS blessings and thee chastise / momentum

[quaint osprey]

Is this a good roll?

[hushed shell]

what does the game define as a "salvo"
specifically with a single shot weapon

[little coyote]

Repeat firing with single fire weapons will count as salvo as well, there's like a second of cooldown until it doesn't. About the time it takes to reset the recoil of said weapon

[hushed shell]

alright, thank you

[fair lichen]

Need help

understanding blessing and perks crafting, besides grinding.

[little coyote]

ask away

[fervent ridge]

Shoot

[pulsar gust]

What is Salvo?

[dark yew]

do multiple auras of the same kind stack?

[rigid wasp]

A salvo is roughly continuously firing the weapon before its recoil resets, which has some variation that ranges from weapon to weapon, and even if the weapon is ADSed or not

Yes, some weapons actually reset the salvo state different based on whether you're aiming or not

Fatshark

[pulsar gust]

Ooo thanks for info

[warm nebula]

You are going to need info about which perks and blessings work with which weapons (and also how they work with certain ability tree builds). We are all very frustrated by the two locks system. It prevents proper experimentation and freedom…

Do you understand the basic mechanics of collecting blessings and applying them to weapon families?

[fair lichen]

Yeah... It's hard to have my dream Eviscerator setup

Yeah, give the weapon blessing from that techpriest by surrendering the weapon to her

[warm nebula]

Yep, that’s the basics. You will need to seek out the fanatical enthusiast of eviscerators; I do not have the guidance you seek.

I’m just sad that it rescales the weapons to your character… I wanted a teeny zealot swinging a sword taller than she is

[slim citrus]

around what item rating level should i start investing crafting mats?

[broken comet]

is anyone here using the mod framework and able to help me figure out why it wont work after the update

keeps saying it cant hook

[warm nebula]

Investing? Only in like 360+, and then only if the less-important stats are the short-bar ones. But if you’re fishing for certain Blessings, you can have a go at upgrading to blue rarity; I think there was a data mine that said you still have a chance at hi-Tier blessings on the blue upgrade

But it doesn’t really matter too much. If you got a weapon that you know is strong, that has carried you thru Diff-3 or higher, it’s a good candidate for taking all the way to gold rarity and seeing how Hadron will ruin it what happens

Materials are just a question of grinding. It’s not like we’re gonna run out of missions anytime soon

[spring flax]

Try going into your Darktide folder, there should be a file called "toggle_darktide_mods". Double click it, then hit enter.

None of my mods were working, totally forgot to do that after the update today and now they're all good

[broken comet]

did it but ingame it gives me an error: [ERROR] (hook): trying to hook function or method that doesn't exist:
[InputService.get

[spring flax]

Did you add a new mod to the .txt file and didn't type it correctly? 😦

[slim citrus]

360 huh? and whats the cap on rating?

[broken comet]

they are all good

[warm nebula]

380

[broken comet]

they are also all updated

[warm nebula]

But don’t let it hang you up too much. As long as the stat line makes sense to you, it’s worth a little upgrade

[uncut verge]

is anyone up to do a 4 man private heresy? just wanna get my last penance done

[warm nebula]

Like, don’t upgrade a gun with 0% in Damage lol

[slim citrus]

oh is that the cap with no crafting involved cause i got a staff thats like 440 something i swear

[broken comet]

no he means modifier rating

youre talking about the overal rating

[undone moth]

for martyrdom zealot do i purposefully take damage

[broken comet]

380 is the maximum modifier rating

[undone moth]

Or just play and let it happen

[slim citrus]

[zinc jasper]

how does gear scale in this game? is it entirely based on level?

[warm nebula]

Yep, player level

[zinc jasper]

so once you hit 30 i assume that's when you hit the maximum stats a weapon can achieve?

[warm nebula]

Potentially, yes

[zinc jasper]

gotcha

[warm nebula]

Actually getting the economy to give you one, now that’s another story

[zinc jasper]

yeah, that's the thing isn't it lol

i think i prefer this over vermintide's method though

[warm nebula]

I’ll take your word for it. I only played VT2 because they put it on 100% sale when DT launched

Just wait till Hadron puts all the wrong perks and blessings on your 380 perfect statline weapon… the 20th time

But such is the nature of the game. I should not feel ill will for the player.

[undone moth]

Whats the difference between the thunder hammers

Or is there a best thammer

[fervent ridge]

crucis is the better model

[rigid wasp]

What exactly is the difference between the different models of weapons if you don’t mind me asking?

[quick remnant]

Move pattern and the Crucis explode on the 1st enemy hit instead of cleaving on the special

[undone moth]

what is crucis patterns

for ST and Horde

[fervent ridge]

infinite horizontal heavy spam

[undone moth]

does martyrdom require corrupted healthbars

or just empty

[fervent ridge]

empty

[worldly stump]

Hey lads, just curious but did they somehow remove the ability of the 2h chainsword to cut enemies in half? First time playing after a while and I just noticed that it doesn't work anymore.

[fervent ridge]

still does that just fine

[rotund radish]

yo there is any req to be able change name? (its says iam not allowed at this time) iam on xbox just started lvl 1

[fervent ridge]

you can't change your name after you've already created your character

You can however change your appearance

all the way to the left side of the ship, first turn at the intersection

Welcome to Darktide

[rotund radish]

cheers bro

[fervent ridge]

you hopping on right now to check out the game?

[rotund radish]

another q all this home world childhood bs when u create op there is any impact later in the game by the choices?

[fervent ridge]

Doesn't affect gameplay, only dialogue

between yourself and the squadmates

Just some background world building stuff

[rotund radish]

[deft scroll]

hey should i keep flack or unyeilding on my laspistol?

[fervent ridge]

flak

[ember lodge]

best perks and blessings for combat knife?

havent run knife before but the insane mobility seems fun

dont know anything about what perks/blessings are best on it

[opaque dew]

Is there option for crossplay between xbox gamepass(on PC) and Steam? Or do me and my friend both have to be on the same launcher?

[fervent ridge]

Crossplay is available

Go to your social tab and grab your Fatshark Friend code

Then you can add each other and join strike team

[opaque dew]

Alright. Am I wrong, or it wasn't possible on launch and added not that long ago?

[twilit sentinel]

What counts as a special attack with the chainsword?

[normal tendon]

Anytime its reved up I believe

[fickle arch]

so, how exactly am i supposed to dodge stuff (like the chaos spawn or that guy who charges at you and starts to pummel you)? I move too slowly to be able to just move out of the way

(playing as ogryn)

[potent imp]

The latest patch deleted all my builds

[warm nebula]

Don’t dodge the mutant, throw a rock at him as he’s charging.
Not sure about the chaos spawn… you might be able to block some of its attacks.

[warm nebula]

All of our builds. All of them. We will all have to remake them. Every one of us, every one of them.

[fickle arch]

so the only way to deal with mutant is to kill him before he reaches you?

also, that chaos spawn has this thing where it just grabs you and starts damaging you, so i'm not sure what to do about that

[ocean raft]

Hey guys question: Since Auric level requieres you to be lvl 30 why do you still get EXp as reward instead of more money?

[pastel plinth]

i have no idea, but your level doesn't stop dead in its tracks at 30, me and many others have a mod called true level i think

its funny because i'll see a lvl 1,000 ogryn

[ocean raft]

ohhh okay is it the mod where some guys on ytube have a score board?

[frigid garden]

on zealot, is the crit bonus chance on bleed worth it if my eviscerator had bleed on special attack?

[jovial trail]

The pain is that maximum warp charges is temporary with the keystone required

I fucking lose max warp charges within a couple seconds because of it

So I have a window of a few seconds to get progress

It's lame

And the 'Hold maximum charges for 300 seconds' is fucking bugged

Since yo ucan't hold maximum charges for more than 15 fucking seoncds

AUGH

[wispy ivy]

If you have error 3013, try validating your files, that worked for me so far

[rigid wasp]

You see, herein lies the problem:

[hard goblet]

True level is a different mod.

[rigid wasp]

The crit chance stacks when you hit a bleeding enemy

Any attack that causes bleed and kills the enemy actually will not proc it

Because you have no bleeding enemy to hit

The eviscerator, chainsword and chainaxe sawing actually counts as one attack for suck purposes and, if memory doesn't fail me, to stack other stuff too like the headtaker blessing

[tepid wing]

say if you create a private game with two people, do the enemies scale with 2 people or is it 4

[frigid garden]

wait so the multiple ticks doesnt even rapidly stack? sorry just making sure i read this right

mostly thought it might be nice for shredding the shit out of bosses or tankier enemies

[hard goblet]

The entire sawing animation counts as one single attack.

So at the end of it when you rip the saw out, bleeding is applied.

Then if you wanted to benefit from that talent, you'd have to hit the enemy again with a light or heavy attack of some kind.

Bleed ticks do not give you crit chance as they are bleed ticks, not melee attacks.

[paper holly]

I think though, with Eviscerator it's still pretty based. You also apply bleed on every light attack that crits and then cans till saw if that's your fancy. Ultimately if you want any kind of crit synergy this talent is worth it imo

[tired hemlock]

whats the difference between combat ability cooldown vs just ability cooldown

[red swallow]

all my saved builds on every character are gone today, was there a patch or why would this happen?

[warm nebula]

There was a hotfix several hours ago. It destroyed every saved build.

[rigid wasp]

psyker

[terse nymph]

Is there a way to increase the rating of a weapon you already have in your inventory

[warm nebula]

Nope, the modifier rating will always stay where it is. (The blessings and perks have additional rating points, so when you add them, they will increase the total rating, but not the modifier rating)

[terse nymph]

Ok also how do I increase the base rating that I get from buying a gun at brunt’s armoury

Is just random the rating I get?

[warm nebula]

It’s just what you get. At higher experience levels, the shop will offer a higher range of ratings

But it will always be random

[terse nymph]

Ok

[terse nymph]

Is there like a chart for the ratings at each level?

[low nest]

does a spreadsheet exist for what stacks and does not?

[frail summit]

Brunt will always be 300+ at 30. Unless really good distribution just roll 360+

[terse nymph]

Ok Ty

[short prawn]

Anyone able to give me a short rundown on how to do certain penaces on ogryn after the rework

Would be might grateful

[stray moat]

Are secondary objectives worth it?

[long citrus]

Um...Is there a bug or something that deletes loadouts? Cause I had like 4 for each characters, but I just noticed one of my character's loadout completely gone

[vast hull]

hey guys do you think it is worth to do heresy with randoms?

[red swallow]

heresy isnt bad at 30 with randoms, you will fail now and then tho

[vast hull]

I am lvl 22 psyker

[red swallow]

normally id say malice to 30, specially if its your first character, but gear doesnt matter with an assail build so who knows

[unreal jetty]

Can you do brain burst achievements with brain rupture

[vast hull]

thanks

[dapper patio]

if i was to play a class dedicated to supporting allies and keeping them alive, what would be the one you guys' suggest?

i also prefer melee

[rigid wasp]

tbh, at this point one could argue all classes do that

Veteran has access to melee buffs, zealot has access to melee buffs, psyker has access to melee buffs, they all have a support skill and a support blitz

[terse nymph]

What lvl should I start doing heresy

[dapper patio]

noted. ty

[ember lodge]

could someone help me with what the best options are for combat knife blessings and perks?

[rigid wasp]

You could try one of the class chats to see people's input, since it can vary a bit

[crystal timber]

do you get anything from killing a demonhost?

[ember lodge]

i asked in zealot a couple of times but kept getting buried/ignored and didnt wanna be obnoxious

figured i may as well ask here

[simple abyss]

no

[dark yew]

Latest update deleted presets yea sucks rip

Gotta remake them again

[crystal timber]

sooooo, no point on killing em

[simple abyss]

basically yah

[manic slate]

is anyone else having crashes on launch

xbox app btw

[timber pasture]

Yeah I was

I couldn't fix it so I got the game on steam

Bit tragic because you get like 20000 premium currency on xbox for free

[sullen plaza]

Why isn't my toughness going up after unlocking it in the skill tree?

[quasi steeple]

Any super high rate of fire guns that aren't complete doodoo

Most are really inefficient with ammo, I need lots of ammo and lots of rof, don't really care about damage

[quasi steeple]

why did they give xbox players premium currency for free? wth

[cursive citrus]

whats the difference between thunderhammers? from stat sheet, why would I ever want an ironhelm when it has lower damage and looks like a worse heavy chain?

[sullen plaza]

Anyone?

[twilit sentinel]

Finesse is how fast you swing ur weapon right?

[quasi steeple]

pretty sure finesse is weakpoint damage

could be wrong, read it online

[timber pasture]

To promote the xbox launch

[quasi steeple]

that is dumb

[timber pasture]

I think steam can get it too

[quasi steeple]

steam only gets 2,500

[timber pasture]

But you'd have to not own the game and buy it after the 18th

[quasi steeple]

not 14 thousand

cause xbox players get 14k aquillas

steam players get 2,500

I have played this game since day 1 of open beta lol

[stray moat]

What is the most efficient way to level up?

[twilit sentinel]

Pretty sure this get 9,500

And it’s because xbox players knew a Xbox version of the game was coming but had to wait a very long time to get it.

So the free. Aquillas is like a thank you for patience

[tepid wing]

Weak spots are areas that don’t have armor correct?

not just the head for certain enemies?

[woeful root]

usually just the head, with the exception of the Beast of Nurgle whose weakspot is the pimple on their back

attacks that hit the weakspot are indicated by an orange hitmarker

[tepid wing]

I see

Also blessings do not upgrade with consecration

[woeful root]

unfortunately not

the process of Consecration only adds a Perk/Blessing

it doesn't change anything existing on a weapon

to change perks/blessings, you'll have to use Refining/Re-blessing

[granite garden]

Did the new patch wipe out the loadouts?

[tepid wing]

does player count scale with ai amount?

or is it the same

[stuck lark]

Can anyone recommend a good guide for the best tips? General mission etiquette etc.

are rewards random? Just got an outfit after a mission and not sure if it was due to a level up or mission reward

[hard goblet]

You can see what it affects by hovering over the bar in the inspect menu for that weapon.

It can affect swing speed, the proportion of crit or weakpoint damage you do, etc.

And can sometimes be a larger contributor to the damage you deal than your Damage stat bar.

[hard goblet]

Yes.

[granite garden]

[hard goblet]

are rewards random? Just got an outfit after a mission and not sure if it was due to a level up or mission reward
Every time you complete a mission you are rewarded with an Emperor's Gift of either a weapon or a curio. Reward rarity scales with the difficulty level of the mission you completed. Outfits are unlocked for purchase via leveling up.

Assuming you're new, I don't think there's any guides for such a question. At least, I don't know of any. But generally you want to ping things you see, whether that's enemy specials or ammo, scriptures, medicae stations, etc.

Pinging enemies is important to provide information to everyone about where and what that enemy is so they aren't caught by surprise and is appreciated at all levels of play.

Paying attention to your teammate's ammo and grenade counts, so you don't take an ammo pack to top off 5 bullets when you have a teammate who's missing over half their ammo pool.

Pinging enemies will also help inform you of what that type of enemy is called. Learning the names of the various specials and elites will contribute to your game knowledge.

[unique narwhal]

did you just have a match with a player hogging the payload in protest?

[hard goblet]

Imperial Edition gets 14,000 in addition to the free 2,500 included.

Combine that with the base game's 9,300 and you have a total of 25,800.

[timber pasture]

Is there anyway to make the game run a bit better

[hard goblet]

You could consider performance mods if you're on PC.

[timber pasture]

Yeah that's what I was thinking

Are there any good ones?

I have a pretty high end pc it's just that the game tends to drop frames quite a bit

It's no dealbreaker though

Games too enjoyable for me to get mad about it dropping below 70fps

[granite garden]

I don't think so?

Can someone explain to me what the point would be of buying a lower rarity weapon from the vendor? Would it just be for the damage roll?

[hard goblet]

The main reasons would either be because of a prefereable stat distribution (i.e. it has a low distribution of points in the preferred dump stat for that weapon and 80% in the stats that matter which makes its lower base rating irrelevant) or because its for blessing farming.

Generally speaking, people will buy from Brunt's Armory and sell any weapons they get that are below 360+ base rating.

The remainder will be upgraded either to keep due to ideal stat distribution or to farm for unacquired tier 3/4 blessings to then apply to the weapon they want to use.

[granite garden]

I see, then is there any reason to buy tier 1 blessings? Besides that it may be what you want in a weapon?

[unique narwhal]

alright. i have met a couple of alpharius players. sorry to bother you

[granite garden]

Could have been me, but you'll never know.

[hard goblet]

There's never really a situation where you'd want a tier 1 or 2 blessing unless you for some reason care about filling out those sections of your blessing sticker book.

[granite garden]

Figured

[twilit sentinel]

Is wrath good on a chainsword?

[hard goblet]

It's ok.

I prefer savage sweep.

[twilit sentinel]

Is bloodletter good?

[hard goblet]

As a Veteran, I'm using my chainsword for horde clear. Which means I need it to cleave harder and faster as soon as possible. It's easy to hit at least 3 enemies in a swing which gives an immediate +200% cleave with the tier 4 blessing.

Bloodletter is ok. If you're planning to use the chainsword on crushers/monstrosities that you aren't going to take down quickly.

It's just some extra stacks of bleed damage.

Only really contributing against things that aren't dying in 2 rev attacks.

[twilit sentinel]

If you like to cleave,then wouldn’t wrath be good?

[hard goblet]

My understanding was that the buff uptime for Wrath lasts for a shorter duration, but I'm still trying to find the posts testing it.

[hexed estuary]

how do i get tier 4 blessings?

[hard goblet]

Buy weapons from Brunt's Armory -> Sell anything lower than a 360+ base rating -> Consecrate the weapons with a base rating of 360+ -> Have fun hoping the slot machine rewards you -> Run out of plasteel -> Ru missions -> Repeat.

[hexed estuary]

is there no way to upgrade to a tier 4 from a t3?

[hard goblet]

No.

[hexed estuary]

rip...

[hard goblet]

They backpedaled on that proposed feature.

[hexed estuary]

my dreams have been dashed

im dumb

[fair ore]

What's the base curio max rating

[fervent ridge]

80

[idle cosmos]

So if I modify a weapon, can I remodifiy the same two belssings/perks I changed? Or is it completely permanent

[fervent ridge]

Can change 2 perks or 2 blessings or one of each as many times as you like

[solar jewel]

For skills/perks that states increase to movement speed is that increasing the base walking speed or sprint speed?

[idle cosmos]

ok cool, ty!

[opal wraith]

how do I get my mods working again after patch? I only got my mods like 2 days ago

[iron kernel]

Just click the bat file

[hard goblet]

^Execute the .bat

[opal wraith]

thank you both :)

[placid cliff]

any idea what i should set my worker threads to lads?

[arctic hull]

So what's the difference between the three models of Lucius Lasgun?

[hard goblet]

Mk3 has the highest damage, slowest charge rate.

Elephant gun that one shot bodyshots weaker enemy shooters.

[worthy hearth]

best ranged weapon?

for ogryn ofc

[fervent ridge]

They are all very good atm

So it's down to personal preference

Maybe heavy stubber

If you wanna be a powergamer

[fair lichen]

Hi new here! Is this weapon good already?

[wispy vector]

Where did my loadouts go?

[hard goblet]

The hotfix patch erased them.

Everyone has had to remake them.

[rigid wasp]

Can anyone help me make a private lobby to get the psycher malleus monstronum to 90% headburst a mondtrosity?

[inner flicker]

When did the toughness on all the classes get reduced? Was that the most recent patch or something before?

[hard goblet]

The class overhaul patch.

A week ago.

[quick remnant]

Base toughness was, but they have traits that can increase toughness

[inner flicker]

Hmm ok

[stable thistle]

when checking out the exchange should i be looking to pick up anything thatss base power is 370+? just gettin back in the game and want to build up my arsenal on my psyker (lvl 30)

and is there somewhere i can look to see what bars are nice to have on what weapons?

[hard goblet]

Yes, if you want to use that weapon or consecrate it for blessing farming.

[hard goblet]

Your respective class chat #psyker-class would probably give the best advice about which stats are dump stats for which weapon.

[stable thistle]

blessings are only shared between weapon types right? so if i wanted a certain blessing for a voidstrike staff, i'd need to buy a staff with the desired blessing from exchange to snag it

[stable thistle]

sounds good i'll check in there

but generally speaking my best options for looking for a certain wpn is to gamble the grey craft and hope it gets good base power, or check the exchange once an hour right?

[hard goblet]

Buy weapons from Brunt's Armory -> Sell anything lower than a 360+ base rating -> Consecrate the weapons with a base rating of 360+ -> Have fun hoping the slot machine rewards you -> Run out of plasteel -> Ru missions -> Repeat.

Or the exchange, yes. But the likelihood of good weapons from there is exceedingly rare.

In my 280+ hours of play I have only ever found a single digit number of 370+ base rating weapons with blessings that weren't tier 2 or 1.

[stable thistle]

oh wow

how often do you at least find 370+ base power from brunt?

[fervent ridge]

One in 30

20 if you're lucky

[placid cliff]

lads any idea how many worker threads i should have on for my game?

[tired coyote]

Question.... Why are We Limited to 5 Characters? Why Can't we make more?

https://tenor.com/view/more-niice-gif-19612161

[fervent ridge]

Just a fatshark thing

[tired coyote]

[onyx girder]

you can get 7 max with a mod though

[hard goblet]

The common theory is that Fatshark will eventually plan on charging for more character slots once they finally (if ever) get around to adding more classes.

I'm still laughing at whomever on their team thought they could ever manage a 1 new class every quarter development pace given their track record.

[tired coyote]

It Is Excrement that we are not allowed 7 characters as a base limit why is it only 5, why does fat shark do this to us!

[quick remnant]

Tou know you can say shit

[fervent ridge]

No he doesn't

he'll get shot if he does

[rigid wasp]

There is no friendly fire right?

[quick remnant]

Yes

[rigid wasp]

Why does it show the indicator for being shot by a friend then?

[quick remnant]

It does ?

[rigid wasp]

I thought the blue or green means shot by friend?

[hard goblet]

The blue indicator means you're shooting something which takes no damage.

You see the same indicator when shooting at a bulwark's shield for example.

Friendlies being shot at will see a green crescent indicating where the friendly fire came from.

But it does not deal damage.

[rigid wasp]

Oh ok , thanks. It's just to show that your blocking someones view then

[hard goblet]

Basically.

[near sable]

Hi, 2k hours on Vermintide 2... so I finally got to get around to check if teh Darktide came out of Beta already as I was seeing the fuss about the talent rework...

... first thing I noticed: THERE IS NO SOLO PLAY? Or am I just blind? o. O

[quick remnant]

No there isn't. It's server based and Solo isn't a priority. There is a mod that does it iirc

[faint jolt]

Is this worth upgrading? Havent used the sword so not sure if modifiers are right

[near sable]

"isnt a priority" ... that is a basic barebones QoL... but then again, fatshark hates QoL...

[lavish flower]

Trappers are taking <50% of the headshot damage flamers are. It's my understanding both have identical headshot multipliers and armour types. Is this a bug?

*to melee

[rigid wasp]

I take it you checked the armour type that appears near the damage number when you headshot both in the psykhanium?

[lavish flower]

yep

[rigid wasp]

Wacky

Lemme see what I can find here

[lavish flower]

no rending, no uncanny, same weapon, both are maniacs, landing headshots on both using the combat knife heavy 1

a crit from this knife does 1400 damage to flamers but only 685 to trappers. I swear i was also able to one shot snipers with a heavy 1 headshot.

now not even the bleed applied by the hit secures it.

they seem to have the same resists as dreg ragers, but i'm not sure i've had this much bother killing them before current patch.

[rigid wasp]

Oh yeah, it reminds me

Mutants and flamers take extra melee damage

If you grab your ranged weapon and bodyshot both of them, the damage is the same

In my case my revolver dealt 520 to both

[lavish flower]

sure, but the target i've noticed dying slow is the trapper. The comparison was just to the flamers.

[rigid wasp]

The trapper will die slower because she doesn't have the same melee multiplier

The ranged one should be the same, at least

[lavish flower]

You misunderstand. I mean slower than before. Not compared to these targets.

Also noticed randomly landing 1400 non-crit headshots to flamers when i realistically should only be able to land 900's.

with the revolver.

[rigid wasp]

They also raised enemy health with the latest patch

If the dreg shooter is representative of the whole thing, each enemy possibly got a 25% health boost

I know at least the dreg shooters went from 400 to 500 health

[lavish flower]

I'm aware of this.

I would not be comparing pre-patch 13 numbers when there are so many changes both to enemies and to the total stackable damage values on talent trees.

I'm feeling as though trappers are dying to an identical patch 13 build, slower now after the current hotfix, than they did prior to that hotfix. I'm noticing other random fluctuations of damage to the same enemies without crits or damage bonuses as well. I'm curious if anyone else has noticed this, or if there's something i don't understand happening.

something that mysteriously did not happen whatsoever prior to the hotfix, on top of that.

[little coyote]

I'm not sure but I feel dreg ragers are more tough to kill this patch than before also. Feels like they take less damage

[fervent ridge]

the ragers got a massive upgrade

They're genuine melee threats now

a single one can 100-0 you easily if you're bad (looking at you, Vets) compared to before when they were an inconvenience at best

[little coyote]

Right

good ol' Latrine Shovel uppercut still smacks them around well enough, just takes a couple more swings to finish them off

Scab Ragers still die pretty easily though

[rotund radish]

yo there is any way u can target and farm weapons?

[fervent ridge]

Brunts' armoury

But you are not recommended to do this until you hit level 30

because any gear you get now will be outclassed within a couple levels

wait for level 30 to guarantee 300 rating baseline or higher

then you can cash in your bank and buy 50-100 grey weapons at once

discard the sub 350 base rating ones

upgrade 350+ to green, if it's good on to blue and so on

[rotund radish]

cheers bro

[rotund radish]

all this plas diaman res they r individual on pick or shared in team at the end of activity completion?

[quick remnant]

Shared

[vast hull]

honestly why do people leave group and go solo?

[fervent ridge]

lack of experience / overconfidence

Losing games will teach them

[vast hull]

I like lost 4 in row (on heresy) bcs someone just goes ham and leaves the group then horde comes in. its just so frustrating man

[warm nebula]

I… I mean they, ahem, want to check the other hallways for those sweet sweet tubes&cubes

[vast hull]

xd

[warm nebula]

I main ogryn but I’m just three loot goblins standing on each other’s shoulders in a Krieg greatcoat

[fervent ridge]

if you want to try higher difficulties

skip heresy and go straight into standard / low intensity damnation

teammates are generally better ther

More coherency, better game sense, spatial awareness

heresy is a trap for malice peakers dipping into harder diff and so it's inundated with bikini bottom low noobs

[vast hull]

I see thanks!

[winter pecan]

Should I be using gray gear until lv30? Probably not right? I'm worried I'm wasting resources when I shouldn't be

[fervent ridge]

you can just use whatever gear you get from Emperor's Gift and spend some ordos to grab whatever the highest rated stuff from the hourly shop gives

no heavy spending on brunts till 30, and especially no buying the Melk's daily acqusition items because contract money is a pain to farm for

Unless somehow a tier 4 blessing drops from Melks then you'll want to pick that up just to add it to your blessing library but t4 drops before lvl 30 will be rare

[thin mortar]

Do you get more Plasteel from Auric? 😮

[fervent ridge]

same as damnation

805 plasteel 300 diamante

More exp and ordos though

[crisp widget]

is there a big difference between heresy and damnation on resources?

[fervent ridge]

yes, twice

[crisp widget]

ah okay

[thin mortar]

So quickplay on normal damnation is the best way to grind these materials :p

[fervent ridge]

yea, just normal damn though

don't go to auric, you won't have time to find resources

[winter pecan]

ty!

[vast hull]

is there friendly fire in higher difficulties?

[fervent ridge]

There is no friendly fire in all difficulties

[warm nebula]

No, that would make it impossible 😂

[fervent ridge]

ogryns would be perma dead

from all the shots they take up their fucking ass

[warm nebula]

“Request permission to stop shootin me, sah!”
“You’re hard to miss, Big Man”

ogryn players actually like hearing all the voice lines, that’s why they jump in front of you

[cosmic wadi]

Does the perk that gives u chance of curio as mission reward even work? I never had a curio as a reward yet

[warm nebula]

I never run that perk, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I got way more than enough curios already

[tepid wing]

You have to parry or block push the dogs in order to prevent them jumping on you right? Does normal blocking work instead?

[flat igloo]

Yes, and no just blocking won't work. Pushing dogs mid-leap is better than it was but can still be unreliable (more of a last resort thing). Best bet to avoid dogs is to put some solid terrain between you and it - just hiding slightly round a corner or behind a pillar etc. The dog will jump at you, hit the terrain and then you can dispatch it with ease.

[fair lichen]

Is this good already?

[fervent ridge]

20 infested to 25 flak, perfect strike to rampage

Ideal setup on evis is rampage + savage sweep / bloodletter

perks are flak + maniac

You have great rolls in modifiers so it'll still be very good

[fair lichen]

Yey! I can go with savage sweep! I have tier III tier for savage sweep I only on rampage

I will go with flak next~

[silk verge]

Which of these is better?

[warm nebula]

I would take the right one. But that’s because I have played before this patch, which messes with the ammo economy a bit. And both of those are excellent lasguns; the difference is splitting hairs

Caveats: I only play in the mid difficulties, so maybe there are subtleties that I don’t know about

[undone moth]

is there a trick to landing the thunder hammer heavy

do i wanna aim backstab or the head

[fervent ridge]

aim for centre of mass till you're good enough to land consistent headshots

[undone moth]

well that's me training to land that headshot

do i just keep the right side of my camera on the unit

so it hits early

[fervent ridge]

hm different zealots has different ways of aligning their hits so it really depends on how you melee combat

I don't even look at the monstrosity I'm hitting most of the time

[undone moth]

Can u backstab + headshot?

Just curious if it's possible

[fervent ridge]

I just know where it will be moving from experience so rotate my entire model during the windup of my hammer swing and then adjust with a jump / full body turn to bring the hit to bear

[fervent ridge]

I can't recall doing this

[little coyote]

depends on the enemy but yeah you can

[undone moth]

i guess u just adjust

and aim for head if u can

aite

[little coyote]

here's an example with an axe

it's easier with it for sure but still

[undone moth]

can flamer deal with crushers?

or is it mostly hoardes

[little coyote]

overpressure will handle pretty much anything

[undone moth]

ok good to know

[round cipher]

Limbsplitter Does not cool down every 5 sec, once activated in combat, it will remain dark till you are out of combat and then 5 sec after you leave combat it will refresh.

[pulsar merlin]

Hello everyone, I noticed that the Malleus Monstronum penance now can only be completed in a private match. I was wondering if there is anyway to start a private match without a pre-made team?

[fair lichen]

Should I go with flak damage?

[fervent ridge]

yes infested to flak and savage sweep to rampage 4

[fair lichen]

I dont have rampage yet

Thank u so much! I'll stick with bloodletter for now

[fervent ridge]

then it'll remain good for now, once you get rampage it'll be great

the ideal combi is rampage (damage + stagger + cleave) + savage sweep (more cleave) / bloodletter (boss killing power) but since you already locked bloodletter in savage sweep will have to go

[fair lichen]

rampage bloodletter?

sounds good

[royal plover]

Are you serious? That's so dumb, you're almost always in combat.

[fervent ridge]

limbsplitter just blows, and blows hard

relative to the other c-axe blessings

[royal plover]

That's either a serious typo, or a really bad bug.

[fervent ridge]

brutal momentum is a must-have, both headtaker and decimator are better, even shred is better than limbsplitter because of how badly limbsplitter gimps your damage output

[warm nebula]

Fatshark… just isn’t very good at text descriptions.

Have you seen the -bespoke_perk_description- stuff?

Or whatever it is exactly?

[near sable]

is there an option to opt-out of crossplay?

[fervent ridge]

No

[near sable]

-.-"

[round cipher]

yarp, so since it dun work as reads its useless imo, gona swap over to

[onyx cargo]

Hi. Is this worth it for a Zealot?

[cerulean badge]

Hi ! Is there a limit of bleed stack ? If so, how many ?

[round cipher]

maybe not XD

[warm nebula]

Das gud. I’d buy it, but I’m not a 1% player.

[royal plover]

I use the plastic Maul because hurr durr electric boom stick, so I use thrust as well

Doesn’t do much damage, but I just laugh and bonk crushers and reavers with it

Useful since my team is often afflicted with the plague of “Gunner only Ogryn”

[round cipher]

only thing i play is Zealot 😄 so i do it all

[half cave]

Do curios stack like does +10% toughness stack with another+10% or am I wasting a slot

[fair lichen]

Hii hii! For Curios, what do u get?

[round cipher]

yes stack

[fair lichen]

You can't max out martyrdom on max difficulty right?

[tepid wing]

Is the level of the blessing complete rng when you consecrate? Does rating matter at all?

[hard goblet]

Buy weapons from Brunt's Armory -> Sell anything lower than a 360+ base rating -> Consecrate the weapons with a base rating of 360+ -> Have fun hoping the slot machine rewards you -> Run out of plasteel -> Run missions -> Repeat.

Below a certain base rating, tier 4 blessings are impossible to roll.

Other than that, higher base ratings correlate with a higher probability of tier 4 blessings.

[tepid wing]

thanks

[crisp widget]

so I am trying to fish for blessings and i've upgraded quite abit of void staffs to get surge, I've only upgraded to blue so far, is some blessings locked to legendary ?

[timber pasture]

how do you see those health bars

[little coyote]

it's the psychanarium

but you can get a mod that shows them in game as well, I don't have that though

[warm breach]

Where can I see my chc and CHD etc ?

[fervent ridge]

can you explain what chc and chd mean

[hard goblet]

I've seen tier 4 blessings at blue rarity before. But the chances are low in general.

[crisp widget]

so my best chances are spam upgrading to blue ?

[hard goblet]

High base ratings are a must.

I'd just try upgrading all the way if you have the plasteel.

[crisp widget]

well I dont rly, using all plaststeel from each mission on completion :P

[warm breach]

Crit chance and crit damage

[hard goblet]

Are the weapons you're consecrating at a base rating of 360+?

[crisp widget]

I wasnt until I saw your previous message, but will from now on

[hard goblet]

Yeah just save up for a bit then.

[tepid wing]

Do auric missions provide anything extra other than difficulty?

Just better material rewards I assume yeah?

[hard goblet]

The only thing they provide more of is ordo dockets.

Resource payouts are the same.

[tepid wing]

👍

[rugged kernel]

what about transcendant gear drop rates.. i have not had one drop since patch 13 ?

[undone moth]

Wait you can get transcendants? I didn't even know that lol.

[rugged kernel]

I used to get them drop, but as a returning player to patch 13 i dont know now. I am not experienced.

[vast hull]

if maelstrom is malice should I try it as lvl 17 ogryn?

[rustic latch]

I get transcendants out of almost every damnation run i do

[tepid wing]

Normal or auric?

[paper tusk]

is there a site or resource that goes over the best base stats to look for on different weapons? like whats good on knives vs whats good on thammers

[rustic latch]

normal

[hard goblet]

If transcendant is the orange rarity, I get one every time I complete a Damnation run.

[paper tusk]

how good do you rate yourself? are you struggling and taking lots of hits on regular malice? frequently going down/losing health?

[rugged kernel]

ok thanks. I have not done damnation yet. Done a bunch of Heresy Auric and get didly squat, not even one since patch 13

[vast hull]

not good not bad I guess

[hard goblet]

Auric is simply a category that guarantees high difficulty modifiers for a mission like Shocktroop Gauntlet etc.. It's not its own difficulty. You're still playing a Heresy or Damnation level mission.

[rugged kernel]

i think damnation is out of my reach for now

[paper tusk]

if you arent confident in your ability yet don't run it. maelstrom is gonna have alot more specials and overall harder to do. or run it with friends to see how you fair

[hard goblet]

It's variable from weapon to weapon. However, you can usually figure out what matters on a weapon by inspecting it with the V key and hovering over the stat bars to see what they do for that weapon.

[paper tusk]

well so for example, my buddy got a combat knife with 80 damage but like 45 pen. i figured this would be ok since you put rending on a knife anyway, but my buddy then pulls up a video and some guy running auric damn has a knife with 80 pen 60 damage

so my assumption was flat out wrong

[hard goblet]

Right, and that's something you could see from inspecting the weapon.

The Damage stat bar affects a flat damage value.

But the Penetration stat bar is a multiplier.

So it has a larger effect on damage than the damage bar alone does.

[paper tusk]

ah ok. see i wouldnt pick up on that, that a multiplier is more valuable than a flat

makes sense but it wasnt obvious to me

[remote delta]

How important is finesse compared to damage and pen stats?

[hard goblet]

Well, think of it this way. 100 damage is 100 damage. Something that takes that 100 and multiplies it by a factor of 85% means you're getting a total of 185 damage.

Let me load up Darktide.

Multipliers can achieve greater increases than flat numbers.

It's the difference between 5 + 5 versus 5 * 5.

[hard goblet]

So finesse increases your attack speed and your weakpoint multiplier.

Penetration is affecting your light and heavy attacks against flak and carapace.

On a knife which cares about attack speed and targeting weakpoints, finesse is pretty important. But penetration is going to apply to most attacks you make if they hit flak or carapace armor.

That penetration stat is telling you that you aren't going to be dealing the maximum amount of your damage to those armor types.

I'd argue though that the least important stat for combat blades is First Target since you're not really going to be trying to hit more than one enemy in a swing.

But I also don't use combat blades so you should seek second opinions.

[remote delta]

well ty for the breakdown, that helps a lot

just getting to the point of starting to minmax weapons a bit and wasnt sure how to prioritize

[hard goblet]

Just inspect weapons and hover over the stat bars.

You can usually figure out what a weapon is aiming to do based on the information there.

If it has a first target bar, it's probably meant for single target damage.

If it has cleave bars, it's likely best at cleaving hordes of multiple targets.

[undone moth]

hi what perks do i want

is it unyielding then maniac?

or is there a more worthy blessing to get

ok i guess slaughterer replace thunderstrike

and i get unyielding for sure

[vast hull]

wow maelstorm was stresfull

what is the diffrence between auric and normal?

[undone moth]

auric always has one of the make a map harder buffs

and gives more money

so harder + money

[vast hull]

thanks!

[open sedge]

what is a chained hit. i.e. in the context of shred blessing. is it any attack that isn't interrupted by a block or other resetting of combo

[astral matrix]

LF help, I have a intel 10700k how many worker threads should i set?

[rose bough]

Anyone able to help me figure out perks for the Kantrael 12? I've been away for a few updates now so I'm not sure what's been nerfed/buffed since then.

This is my best one, for reference. Veteran tree makes it seem like crit would be good to build for?

[shy bone]

Hello guys, i would like to know if it's possible to change my crosshair or to add one when i use the iron sight of the helbore lucius

i really hate the iron sight of this badboy

[hard goblet]

A chained hit is one that is the succeeding hit in an attack combo.

So if you perform an uninterrupted string of attacks, at least 2 attacks.

[hard goblet]

You can't without a mod.

[open sedge]

aight thanks. if the combo restarts does it still count as chained hits. like lets say you're spamming heavies

[hard goblet]

The MG XII never really needed blessings to perform at baseline. But Vet talent trees mostly focus on crit + rending builds for las guns now. You can find specific advice for it in #veteran-class

[hard goblet]

As long as you never stop clicking M1, yes.

[rose bough]

I was asking there but they're all busy talking about cosmetics lol

[hard goblet]

Give it some time and ask again later.

Since most builds for lasguns only get extra damage via crit and rending, I'd argue Headhunter at minimum for synergy with your talents.

Deadly Accurate would help slightly with the XII's problems against heavy targets.

[rose bough]

Hmmm, mine has Falter and Infernus right now which don't seem bad but could definitely be better

[hard goblet]

Falter feels like a trap in my opinion as it just makes followup headshots harder.

Infernus is ok, but more suited to guns with a high rate of fire to help build stacks quickly.

[rose bough]

Makes sense

Thanks for the help!

[winter sequoia]

quick question: which enemy types are hordes/slaverat equivelents mostly? I have a nice chainsword thats just barely off 2 tapping hordes in 5, which perk would bring it to being 2 hits? + infested or +unarmoured?

[quick remnant]

Poxwalker and Groaner

Infested and unarmoured respectively

[winter sequoia]

so their isnt one that is both?

[quick remnant]

No

[winter sequoia]

why wouldnt pox be unarmroured they are literally wearing just a tshirt

[fervent ridge]

Logic doesn't apply in the 40k universe

You'll still want Flak + Maniac on chainsword because hordes are a very low priority threat and it's the armour / mutants / ragers / trappers that are a much bigger threat you want to build weapons around

If you wanna optimize damage output

[winter sequoia]

its for my guardsmen and I usually dont have problems with specials and elites just gunning them, its keeping melees off me quickly so I can kill ranged stuff for me team thats usually the problem

plus this thing is 1 hitting maniacs and specials at 5 star psychiarium without the perks

[fervent ridge]

If it's 1hitting maniacs and specials it should absolutely not require any additional perks for the basic horde enemies because these have like 1/5th the hitpoints of those enemies mentioned before

[winter sequoia]

well it 1 hits them with the rev attack

not just swinging

I know you can only change things on an item twice

but can you change the same thing as many times as you want

or is it locked in

[fervent ridge]

Two attributes, as many times as you like

2 perks, 2 blessings, or 1 of each, as long as you have the mats for it

Rampage [damage + stagger + cleave] + Savage Sweep [even more cleave] / Bloodletter [bleed, good versus armored elites and bosses] are the BiS blessings on Chainsword

Flak / Maniac for perks, or whatever anti horde specification you want to spec into

[deep aspen]

is laspistol good for anything?

[viral shuttle]

hey this may be dumb but what class would be best for an adeptus mechanicus RP

[long raptor]

what are good blessings to watch for on thunder hammers?

[quasi steeple]

i mean, out of all of the classes it'd probably be veteran

Zealot is obsessed with the god emperor

psyker is like isolationist

and orgyn doesn't even know what planet we fight on

veteran just shoots guns

so probably veteran

[viral shuttle]

amazing

[quasi steeple]

if not veteran than psyker would be my next pick

[viral shuttle]

i feel the second amendment of the god emporer calling to me

[quasi steeple]

lol

if you get past the screaming about the god emperor than zealot would be a good pick too

[timber pasture]

zealot goat

[viral shuttle]

what are the deferent skill tree branches for him im curious?

[quasi steeple]

zealot has a stealth one, a charge into melee combat one, and a "may the power of the god emperor compel you" one

those are just the blitz'

i am not an expert on skill trees lol

but if i had to guess from left to right it'd be, pure melee, hybrid, and stealth

so for a tech priest you'd probably do hybrid or stealth i'm thinking

but for the hybrid branch branch away from the relic blitz and grab the stealth one. unless you like the relic one haha

yet again take everything i say with a grain of salt

don't know too much about building, i just kinda do whatever
