[tame river]

Sweet. Thanks for letting me know that

[frigid echo]

[craggy minnow]

Only weapons in the same family (infantry autogun, combat axe, etc)

[unborn sail]

have you tried uninstalling / reinstalling? Do you have any audio drivers you need to update?

[idle kite]

does anyone know what "seperated by line" counts as when making the mod order in notepad?

[hard goblet]

An empty line with no text.

[quiet hollow]

Anybody willing to help me get the warp battery Penance in a private match? I'm getting really desperate 😅

[idle kite]

thanks

[past yoke]

what currency is this?

[rigid wasp]

melkbux

to use at melk's scam shop

[past yoke]

oh duh I'm stupid

haven't played in a few months

ty though

[hard goblet]

@sleek kelp Would you be the person to ask about getting something like this added to the pinned messages of this channel?

[rigid wasp]

My new firewall was blocking the game

[dry agate]

Is it generally considered to be a scam shop? I have yet to use it

[hard goblet]

It's just called a scam shop because most of the time what it offers is still garbage.

Due to how Fatshark has designed gear acquisition and modification in this game.

[pliant veldt]

I just had to restart my pc

[rigid wasp]

Maelk is a blessing shop

[trim pike]

Is there anyway to login to my fatshark gamepass account on steams darktide (both pc) I have a level 30 character on pc gamepass and cosmetics but steam isnt telling me a way to logout of the account

[regal garden]

anyone ever run into a bug where your character is unable to res people or use medicaid?

[craggy minnow]

No but i had a guy vanish today as i swung at him

[north ocean]

it's been a while since i last played, is +flak the gold standard perk on all weapons still?

[lost ferry]

The Ironhelm Thunder Hammer is fun as hell, I just wish it wasn't so goddamn clunky to use.

As it is, I don't feel comfortable taking it above Malice

[lost ferry]

For most weapons that seems to be the case from what I've seen.

[north ocean]

also +maniac on ranged, +unarmored on melee, and it varies on aoe weapons right?

[hard goblet]

Definitely not unarmored on melee. It's typically either carapace or maniac.

Ragers got a health boost within one of the recent patches and are a major threat.

[north ocean]

maniac it is

actually no, i absolutely hate being in melee with maniacs of all kinds

carapace then

i use a rashad as my preffered melee gonna try and see how it is with +carapace and +flak

[rigid wasp]

For weapons with uncanny strike it's nice to get unarmored, since the blessing doesn't cover that

[hard goblet]

You may have some uncomfortable reckonings with the current iteration of the spawn director then, just a forewarning.

You often won't have a choice with the number of ragers that are thrown at you at the same time as crushers/bulwarks.

[north ocean]

warning noted

and taken into consideration

[chrome osprey]

OK so I've been trying to learn how to dodge plague ogryn attacks.

I figured it all out except this uppercut it does with its left arm. Anyone got tips?

[woeful root]

that attack seems to have a longer dodge catch, so I usually block it if I feel that I'm too close to dodge

[chrome osprey]

How much stanima do you need to block it? >>>

.>

[woeful root]

I think it's a guardbreak attack?

nvm

I might be misremembering

no wait yeah you can definitely block it oops

i forget how much you need to block it but I frequently remember it taking a lot of or all of my stamina

the uppercut also doesn't do that much damage, so just letting it smack you is an option (albeit knocking you a good distance away)

[chrome osprey]

Thanks!

[little coyote]

https://imgur.com/a/Wa11ohO

So you mean the second attack here?

[chrome osprey]

Yeah that one

[little coyote]

Yeah just dodge to the opposite side of the attack and you ought to be fine

[chrome osprey]

i've tried dodge sliding too

[little coyote]

The timing seems to be slightly different to mine

A bit early maybe

[chrome osprey]

I've been doing this for like 20 minutes trying late and early timings

nothing's been working >.<

[little coyote]

The sabre you're using, does it have a poor mobility stat

[chrome osprey]

its just a sabre i picked up to test moveset difference from the mk2 i've been using since i heard people prefer IV

[little coyote]

Did finesse affect dodge timing/length?

[craggy minnow]

No

Finesse is weakpoint and crit stuff

[little coyote]

Right

Inspect the mobility stat and see how much the 69% affects it

[craggy minnow]

69 on a saber is more dodgy than any meduim weight weapon i think

[little coyote]

I thought so too but could make sure

[craggy minnow]

I usually back dodge the uppercut and it looks like it gets slid in the flamer clip

[little coyote]

Could be, but I can dodge it pretty reliably. Slide dodge might be a must though to clear away from the harm's way entirely maybe

I almost exclusively dodge slide instead of just dodge

[craggy minnow]

I need to actually install the spawner mod

Do some rager dueling practice and stuff

[chrome osprey]

with the dueling swords you just alt hit - heavy hit - alt hit spam, and it's hilarious

[craggy minnow]

I was doing some sedition speedruns earlier and i kept running into 4-5 ragers in the first pack lol the director is off the goop

[little coyote]

Heavy stagger weapons make ragers a cake walk

[chrome osprey]

Yeah I haven't had any luck with dodge sliding either, but if i'm far away enough i can back dodge at least

[craggy minnow]

Maulers seem to be back i didn't see them for like a week

[little coyote]

Trauma staff, latrine shovel, the like

[craggy minnow]

My saber is a mk5 and the stab special doesn't seem to stagger very good

Is it like the clubs where only certain enemies get owned

I can 2 hit on damnation though so i usually just do a dodge (or if my stacks are up on melee psyker i 1 hit)

[chrome osprey]

For ragers at least the mk5 saber still works fine, but if you don't hit the headshot alt you can't hit a heavy, at least if this test is right. Body alt hit has a worse stagger or something

the MK2 and MK4 heavy attack is fast enough to hit regardless though, using this same test

seems like the same deal with mauler (i don't know if this has any effect, but meat grinder was set to damnation)

[woeful root]

oh yeah, in real games, you get some lag compensation in your favor for dodges (against certain attacks, which includes the plogryn's attacks)

[jagged sapphire]

Which Zealot heavy sword is the best and why is it the IX?

[craggy minnow]

turtolsky gaming

[fast laurel]

Headtaker and Deathblow be like:

[olive moon]

Hey should i destroy the first one for headtaker and put it on the second?

[warm nebula]

Yer talking about splitting hairs there. Personally I’d say do nothing until you got a perfect base.

[olive moon]

So one isn't much better than the other?

[warm nebula]

I think both of those hammers are top 1%.

[unborn sail]

I would, but yeah Logoriel is right, they're so close in stats

[warm nebula]

If you want top 0.1%, you need to farm for a 380 base

[olive moon]

Cheers guys 🙂

[warm nebula]

But those should be good enough for most anything you’re gonna play.
(Caveat: I’m a malice prisoner)

[unborn sail]

Who imprisoned you Sah? Want me to krump them Sah?

[warm nebula]

I’m just a prisoner of my own design

[warm nebula]

Ooof, that Damage. Dunno if it changes any breakpoints, but oof.
Gloryhunter IV is the best part of this weapon… but don’t Revolvers want Surgical?

[mellow burrow]

@molten fog Purple is Suicide Pit, Left arrow is Far Gate, Right arrow is Med Gate

[molten fog]

ah

[mellow burrow]

The gates can be closed, and if not, spew a constant stream of enemies

[molten fog]

just press e on them?

ohh

[mellow burrow]

You can interact with them to close them for...Idk how long, a minute?

[molten fog]

shit i didnt know that

[mellow burrow]

It's loud enough opening that you can notice

Then close it

It cuts...I'd say a third of the enemies?

The swarmers atleast

Atleast 25%

[molten fog]

okay but what in the omnisiah's balls is that gun. did you put an autogun barrel on a revolver

[mellow burrow]

IDFK

It's not my image

I just googled it

[molten fog]

ah

[quick remnant]

Supposed to be a Revolver

But may have been modified with the mod

[molten fog]

time to see how gross i can make my revolver i guess

defo skip

[quick remnant]

Oh no, it's not the players weapon, you can see his chainsword

[molten fog]

shame

i thought mod updated and let me put any barrel on the revolver

[mellow burrow]

There's an extended version that does that

I don't use it, the mod is loaded as is

[molten fog]

im using that

[mellow burrow]

...Admittedly "Suicide Pit" is me adapting terminology from Vermintide

It's what I call the place people for some fuck reason chose in Righteous Stand

The one where you fight in a corner that has an enemy spawn right next to it.

And gas rats consistently throw shit in there.

[warm nebula]

Mmmmm, delicious community strategy development

[molten fog]

taktiks

reject together strong

[jade berry]

does darktide have crossplay between steam and windows 10? if so how do i do it

[craggy minnow]

Presuming you mean windows store, yes and you just play

Er xbox store

[unborn sail]

hit ESC -> go to social -> E / find player then either give them your friend code or vise versa

[craggy minnow]

That is a better answer to what i imagine the question was

[limber elbow]

stupid question maybe. but do I need the same weapon with blessing I want to be able to apply said blessing to current weapon?

[warm nebula]

You can only apply a Blessing that you have previously “earned” ( by surrendering a weapon that had that Blessing). This is exclusive to weapon “families”(e.g. recon lasguns vis-a-vis infantry lasguns)

Once you have “earned” a Blessing, you can apply it to as many weapons (of the same family) as you want (if you can afford the materials)

[limber elbow]

thanks!

[drowsy path]

Just don’t extract blessings from force staves thinking you can put it on other force staves. I learned the hard way, surrendering a very good Trauma thinking I could put the T4 blessing on a Voidstrike..

[young mulch]

Game... plasteel... please... wtf is the point of diamantine...

[drowsy path]

So quick question to anyone knowledgeable here.

Does Catachan parry timing at all affect its efficacy? Would pressing the parry button the moment before the attack connects use less stamina?

Or should I not worry and only focus on if it’s a safe time to parry like with say, groups of maulers winding up at the same time-

Because, I realize the parry timing itself is very generous and I wonder if I should be trying to time it for any reason

[warm nebula]

I think safety trumps efficiency… you already got an incoming attack, better play to make sure it’s Parried.

That being said, somebody oughta science the shit outta that question

[craggy minnow]

One day we will have something cool to spend it on... one day...

Parry has fixed cost afaik, parrying early has the two downsides of
Another attack might eat it first
You're in the parry anim and not doing something else longer

[red bronze]

does anyone know the minimum value for a +3 stamina curio?

[candid sparrow]

Could you make a gun psyker build with any of the infantry lasguns that would be on par with using laspistol or is it simply the best?

[craggy minnow]

Yeah definitely i think

Laspistol isnt wild unless you're really hammering your mouse and have blessings

[dense grove]

wow .. ogryn is really goooooood :X

[copper yarrow]

whats the best way to farm couns

coins

[cold furnace]

is ilvl of weps determined by trust rank?

[red bronze]

yes

[hard goblet]

The range of base ratings for weapons that you can acquire is determined by your character level, yes.

At level 30, that's when you have the chance to potentially get the high end base rating weapons such as 370-380.

[hard goblet]

If by coins you mean dockets, then Auric category missions have the highest docket payouts due to the modifiers those missions are guaranteed to have.

In general, Damnation pays the most dockets followed by Heresy.

So whatever the highest tier of difficulty you can reliably complete is what you'd want to farm.

[hard goblet]

By minimum value do you mean the base rating of the curio? i.e. What rating the Blessing category shows?

[red bronze]

yes

it's somewhere in the 75-77 range

[hard goblet]

I'm not sure it's possible to truly know the exact minimum value. But I can check my curio collection and see what I have at least.

The lowest I've seen is 75.

The highest is 79.

[red bronze]

Alright, well I have a 74 one that's +2 stamina so it's definitely 75, then

thanks

[stoic iron]

being in a strike team

[scenic field]

Do Force Swords share blessings?

[red bronze]

yes

[jade crescent]

Anyone out there helping people level up fast

[stoic iron]

try the lfg chats

[fervent ridge]

I am, wassup

[jade crescent]

@fervent ridge wanna help a brother out

[fervent ridge]

Yes I'm up right now if you are

156358646

this is my Steam

[fervent ridge]

[granite garden]

Does anyone have any tips on doing the "knocking off a ledge" psyker redacted penance? Because I feel like psychic scream doesn't knock them far enough?

[stoic iron]

I've not done it myself but I would think that the end of Vigil Station Oblivium would be the easiest since there are 2 narrow bridges that open up in the final event and you can push enemies off the sides

spam pushing hoards of poxwalkers or trauma staff on armoured enemies

[umbral plaza]

Unyielding to flak? maniac? elite?

or dump crit hit dmg

the dot doesnt crit correcT?

[still helm]

Does sprint efficiency stack additively on curious?

[young venture]

Started today. Played 2 games. At the end of each mission (1 failed, 1 won) at the screen asking me to merge teams or continue, continue doesn't work without merging teams first

What if I just wanna be a loner

Had to alt f4 to get out of that and that is unpleasant

[little coyote]

continue just drops you to the lobby alone or in fireteam either way

[young venture]

Thing is

It didn't even

Just nothing when I pressed continue

[little coyote]

it might take a couple seconds for someone to load in the final screen before you can continue, it doesn't indicate this though

[young venture]

Not sure if that was the issue. I could see all 4 squadmates on the screen

[stoic iron]

yeah the post match lobby screen can take a while to get through

everyone will be there but nothing happens for a bit

[little coyote]

they all will be visible regardless if their client has loaded or not

[young venture]

Seesh, you'd imagine the game would be clunky ingame, not in 2 button menus

[little coyote]

it just needs a loading icon in place of the continue button until it can be pressed

[stoic iron]

pretty sure like jerk said it's because others are still loading

drop ship loading screen can take a while too it's essentially the same thing

[young venture]

I'll try to see if waiting a bit fixes that issue next time I try

Thanks

[fervent ridge]

WELCOME TO TERTIUM

Also yea the aftergame screen is VERY annoying in that you can be stuck there spamming space for between 15 seconds to a minute and it won't load !!!!

No fix for it either

This is the opportunity to go toilet change music or get a drink

[mental sequoia]

Any advice on refining this?

I was thinking of going for inspiring barage to replace fan but ive heard fan is pretty helpful.

[shell nest]

As psyker do you guys sprint only when theres stamina or ignore the stamina?

[mental sequoia]

I ignore it most times

[little coyote]

Always be sprinting

[tame river]

Is there a real difference in power with autoguns VS lasers against specific armor.

[austere epoch]

how do you make strike team invites for the lfg?

dont rememebr how

[lofty crystal]

It's already off on my system, ty for the response though

[half wasp]

Y’all I forgot what the power effect does for weapons, can anyone explain?

[fervent ridge]

Power = damage + stagger + cleave

Gives you a boost in all 3 combat stats

Power blessings are highly coveted and always the BiS option on any weapon that can roll it / Thrust for Thammer, Headtaker or Decimator for Combat Axe, Pinning Fire for bolter etc.

[uneven garden]

so currently watching some vids on you tube about this game and seriously considering getting it is there still good player base online to play co op with as this is the part of the game think would enjoy the most, although going havoc with mellee looks brutally fun 🙂

[half wasp]

Ah I see, so it’s just a flat buff to your weapon overall

[fervent ridge]

Yes the playerbase is very active

Hardest difficulty queues fill up in the ready lobby and since it's a Fatshark game you can expect it to maintain its core playerbase for a long time

Vermntide is like 8 years old and still had 3-4k concurrent players

Darktide is 1 year old sitting on 17k

[uneven garden]

so highly recommended then

the game was looking at
WARHAMMER 40,000: DARKTIDE

is this darktide 2 ? Me clueless

👊 Boom Down loading 🙂 made the plunge

[craggy minnow]

This is darktide 1 but there are also vermintide 1 and 2

Which are similar but you're killing ratmen in a fantasy world

[red bronze]

this is darktide 40,000

longest running game franchise in history

[craggy minnow]

You obviously never played this game

[uneven garden]

thank you, will check this out also

[harsh rain]

got another question...
so, ratings on gear. I know the ins and outs of looking for gear, you want 380 stats, and looking for tier 4 perks and blessings.

I'm curious about trying to force Melk and the armory into higher rating gear.
I know that higher level stuff shows up as you level towards 30, but is it possible to get higher rating gear if you clean out all your old -400 rating gear?
I remember way back that gear that shown up in the shops had a chance of being about 20 to 50 rating stronger than your strongest weapon, but I'm not sure if it aggregates from all your inventory.

tldr... if i clean out my inventories to only have 450+ rating gear, will it force higher level gear on average? better stats, better blessings to scrape off, better perks on average out of the box?

[hard goblet]

There is no way to "force" Melk or the Armory to display higher gear.

The only factor that controls what you can see there is your character level.

And that just extends the range of base ratings you can see.

There is no other way to influence what they offer you.

[harsh rain]

gotcha. appreciated.

still gotta slog through the inventory and scrape off everything and sell the rest 😛

[daring phoenix]

Is there some kind of database which blessings are shared with which weapons?

File, anything

[copper parcel]

I know Ogryn can endure a Sniper bullet without losing all of their toughness, is there another class that can do the same?

[hard goblet]

It's pretty simple, all weapon families share blessings. So Kantrael Lasguns share blessings. Combat Shotguns share blessings. Luscius Helbores share blessings.

The only place where this doesn't apply is Psyker staves if I recall correctly.

You can also look up gameslantern's Darktide blessings catalog if you want a thorough specific filter.

[daring phoenix]

Okay, what's the laspistol family?

Just this one, or shredder or revolver as well?

Oh nvm, that darktide builder site

Has all blessings grouped with weapon as well

That's neat

[hard goblet]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/weapon-blessing-traits

[daring phoenix]

Exactly

Appreciate the help anyway 🥰

[lost ferry]

Small tip; If you're trying to do a penance, and you don't tell anyone you're doing that, don't complain when they fuck it up for you

[mellow burrow]

Had someone throw a fit because I joined the game with survivalist...he was doing 0 ammo thing

Make every shot count?

[lost ferry]

Or do an LFG for it, idunno

[mellow burrow]

Like man,

I can't turn this shit off

[lost ferry]

Don't do public lobbies for hard penances m'dudes

[mellow burrow]

It's like zealots in vermintide complaining when other people have hp regen effects

I did make every shot count while having survivalist on myself because I'm not a bitch

Course, I failed

but I did it

[lost ferry]

Speaking of, I need to get a team together for Mallaeus Monstronum. The doing 90% damage to a monster with Brain Burst on Heresy+

[coral violet]

does it count on weakened variant?

[lost ferry]

Proooobably not, but for obvious reasons I don't want to wait my brains out for a Heresy Maelstrom with Monstrous Specialists and try it on one of those

[coral violet]

monstrous damnation aurics are quite common

[lost ferry]

FUCK that

[coral violet]

should take like 8 ish non-empowered bbs

[lost ferry]

I have no interest in doing Aurics.

[mental sequoia]

Fair but it is a fun challenge

I mostly run normal Damnation myself.

[lost ferry]

Regular Damnations lately have bordered on irritating bullshit instead of fun challenges, in my eyes, and I have no massive pressing need for the extra dockets

Plasteel? Absolutely

[mental sequoia]

I've had a weird mix in Damnation this week so I get it.

Either get the most competent peeps ever or a Psyker who thinks theyre a Zealot.

But I just chuckle and keep going as I just enjoy being in the world even at a loss.

[shell burrow]

@everyone is the game down ?cant seem to start playing

i can't click on play 😭

[hard goblet]

trying to @ everyone in a video game server with thousands of people

I can see why.

[shell burrow]

might aswell try XD

[shell burrow]

its just my bio i wrote myself

[hard goblet]

www I know.

Just thought it was funny.

[shell burrow]

xd

[hard goblet]

But yes, Fatshark's servers are really unstable. I haven't had that problem recently, but it's happened in the past.

[shell burrow]

fak

so i just wait it out?

[hard goblet]

I'd just restart and keep attempting to play until it works.

[hot geyser]

Does anyone know what happened here with the sniper shot?
I had 59 toughness and 15 health, and get shot square in the back by a sniper - instead of killing me, it drops me to 3HP, without triggering holy revenant, and lets me keep going
This is on damnation as well

[grim knoll]

Is it worth it to just randomly dump money into Brunt's armory for good rolls? trying to get my hands on a good purgatus staff and all my current rolls suck

[hot geyser]

that's the only way to do it really

[grim knoll]

alright time to go broke

[hot geyser]

yeah

[grim knoll]

I'm sitting on a mil we'll see lmao

[woeful root]

seems like your health jumps from 2 to 3 in a short period, so maybe some wonky interaction with faith restores all?

[hot geyser]

Could be
I guess maybe if I took one damage instance a server tick before the sniper shot and the regen from that kept me a single point above the revenant threshold even though the sniper should have in theory instantly killed?
not that I'm complaining though lol

maybe I should just chalk it up to the emperor taking a liking to me at the time :^)

[earnest quarry]

Are contracts shared between characters? Can you get more currency if you have more chjaracters?

[stoic iron]

weekly contracts are per character so yes you get more with more characters

[paper tusk]

i got a trauma staff in melks with tier 3 warp nexus and tier 3 warp flurry, i dont have either blessing right now. which one is better to eat for trauma

[stoic iron]

warp flurry if you want to go down the rending shockwave route, warp nexus if you want to go with a blaze trauma build

[paper tusk]

i already have a crit purg build so i think imma go for flurry, thanks for the tip!

[umbral plaza]

ok.. its time i stop just playing psyker

which class do i go to

other than ogryn

[stoic iron]

vet if you want to keep the ranged role, zealot for unga bunga

[umbral plaza]

how much unga bunga we talking

[stoic iron]

killing daemonhosts in 2 hits unga bunga

[copper yarrow]

When does the cosmetic shop rotate whats available

?

cuz rn the stuff for zealot kinda mid

[stoic iron]

next week I think

[shut pawn]

is there a mod that chjanges tyhe zeloat grenade color i have trouble spoting the difference when it gets to hectic

[umbral plaza]

god starting a new char sucks so much

[umbral plaza]

the fire?

yes

custom flames mod

[stoic iron]

3x +10% exp on curious can help speed up the process if you're willing to put resources into them

[turbid bloom]

Hello

how do I use this to find auric damnation friends to play with, discord I mean

no one is joining atm

[stoic iron]

lfg channels, NA: #vox-lfg-nasa EU: #vox-lfg-emea Asia: #vox-lfg-apac

[robust dune]

Hi guys is buying Aqullias through Microsoft safe, on PC steam btw

[stoic iron]

you can buy them through steam in game

[umbral plaza]

leveling up a new char

is awful

i dunno what else i can do lmao

swear Auric damnation is easier

[frigid echo]

right click brain burst is really incosistent for me. i'll charge it till the meter is full, then left click, and sometimes it works and sometimes it just resets the meter. video demonstration

its not a big deal, but anyone know whats up?

[mental sequoia]

Anyway to salvage this or am I just gonna have to do full reroll?

I was thinking Savage Sweep or Rampage for Rev since I don't have Shred.

[weak nova]

Is there a way to see Cleave values when it’s not listed in the weapon info?

Like in the chainsword above 👆. There is a Cleave modifier but how can we see the base Cleave value?

[fast laurel]

Yeah switch rev it up for Rampage

You don't need up to 400% Cleave on the weapon

[mental sequoia]

I thought that'd be the call but I wanted to be sure.

I was thinking also switching sprint for Maniac.

[fast laurel]

Yes that is the right move too

[mental sequoia]

Alrighty I'll write it down to do. Then I just gotta figure out what I can do with my flamer.

Thanke

[fast laurel]

Use the darktide breakpoint calculator to see the cleave values

If you search it on Google now

There should be a reddit link that can take you to the site

[umbral plaza]

guy joins team. runs headfirst into 2 reapers. tells everyone they suck and calls them the n word

ahh

darktide

❤️

[signal apex]

which map is best to even do the Gone Bowling redacted penance (ive not yet to complete the penance after months of not playing the game)

[mental sequoia]

This any good?

[fast laurel]

R

Rip

Perks and blessings are unfortunately bad

[mental sequoia]

Then I won't pick it up

[prisma cipher]

https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/1FvNYgekg0lfxA/d1337RQvbfIA?invite=cr-MSxHTm4sMTM5NDM0Nzk3LA

why's shroud insta cooldown sometimes?

[fast laurel]

Yes this is a reported bug already

[prisma cipher]

ah, okey

[weak nova]

Is it to be assumed that these unlabeled boxes at the bottom (Light1, Light2) are cleave values?

[fast laurel]

Yes. Those numbers are your cleave values on weapons

[weak nova]

According to comments in the reddit thread, these values are the “breakpoint” , or number of attacks needed to kill the selected enemy

[woeful root]

they might be referring to different values?
Those are certainly your cleave values

if you select a different enemy, those numbers will stay the same

[fast laurel]

No those aren't the breakpoint numbers

If you want to check the breakpoints against certain enemies

First select one of the attack options from the labelled checkbox. And then pick an enemy from the list to the right

Then change your "damage_mode" from the top column in the middle to breakpoint

Depending on the weapon stats. Perks. And blessings that are all modifiable. The breakpoint value is varied.

[weak nova]

I see, thanks. When entering blessing values (I.e. Wrath at 25% per stack), should we use integers (25) or percentage decimals (0.25) ?

[vernal plaza]

Thats 25(?) Stacks of wrath thats impossible to get btw

[fast laurel]

No you don't need to do that

[weak nova]

No, the variable in wrath is percentage cleave gained per stack. Not number of stacks

[vernal plaza]

Change the tier to the left of wrath, its currently t1 wrath
Wrath stacks up to 5 so put 5 to the right of wrath

[fast laurel]

Oh

[weak nova]

I see, the tier value is used to enter the percent gain

[vernal plaza]

They already have the value you just need to change what tier of blessing you use

[weak nova]

Got it, thanks

[fast laurel]

Left listbox is where you can change what tier a blessing is, and the right value box is how many stacks are currently applied

[signal apex]

like ive asked about braced guns before, which shotgun is far superior

[fast laurel]

Kantrael shotgun for sure

[opaque steppe]

can buy any 2 of these, which ones are the most useful perks?

[shrewd mountain]

2 wounds curios exist?

[warm nebula]

No

[slim citrus]

anyone experiending this bug where u just lose audio in missions?

works fine in the mourningstar but i go into a mission and the audio cuts a couple minutes in and refuses 2 comeback no matter what i do

[spiral lava]

Ogryn curio I got. Should I make the grimoire one into ability cooldown or -sniper dmg

[dire patrol]

ability cooldown only if you can stack multiple

[candid sparrow]

For psyker, is it better to use push special or laser on laspistol? i have the weapon customization mod

[wanton seal]

Honestly? I’d suggest the push. It’s not as niche as you’d think and if a pox buster catches you unaware it can save you

[mental sequoia]

What are the desired Blessings for Laspistol? Thinking of using it over my Autopistol.

[stoic iron]

infernus and dumdum work

[tiny ferry]

If you have the "Opening Salvo" blessing on a semi-automatic weapon, what does "Salvo" mean?

Is it first shot of the burst, aka. EVERY shot, or is there a timer or what?

[tulip berry]

Salvo refers to uninterrupted firing. I believe there's a debuff icon with a timer. You can watch it reset after a pause.

Curious if anyone knows for certain whether damage resist on curios applies to both toughness damage and health, or just health.

I always assumed it was both.

[umbral plaza]

any tips for getting started in aurics?

[craggy minnow]

a salvo ends when your recoil fully resets afaik

[craggy minnow]

how are you in regular damnation

[umbral plaza]

fine for the most part

usually play QP so probably already done some hi shocl

shock

[craggy minnow]

queue into an auric 5 and you'll probably be ok, since your teammates will probably be gamers

[umbral plaza]

aside from the obvious terrible RNG

[craggy minnow]

yeah you can just get owned lol

[umbral plaza]

like a daemon host, chaos spawn and plague ogryn all within the first spawn room

[craggy minnow]

but usually you'll be able to tell why you lost, if you got owned or if someone isnt pulling enough weight, etc

for me its always like catwalk or hallway type areas with bomber spam

actually very specifically there's one catwalk in one of the hourglass levels that's a short bridge with a medicae at the end and stairs up on the right

holy shit that place

[umbral plaza]

for me its ranged spam.

not even gunners/shotgunners

like 10000 ranged chaff

that no one kills

[craggy minnow]

more than once the director has sent a spawn down the stairs that immediately launches 2 people off the side lol

usually people in auric damnation play good

[umbral plaza]

seems no one shoots ranged guys, they all just wanna rush in and swing

[shell nest]

is gun psyker good with semi automatic weapons or they work best with automatic weapons?

[woeful root]

guns with good crit and weakspot damage

laspistol, Columnus IAG, etc.

[shell nest]

not headhunter? what about shredder?

[woeful root]

headhunters too, but I don't use them so I didn't remark on them

shredder doesn't have a very good crit damage multiplier for the moment

[shell nest]

is there a way to know about which guns have good crit stats?

other than testing it of course

[woeful root]

those stats aren't immediately available unfortunately

you can check the crit damage in the damage breakdown table, but not crit chance without a mod or some pre-knowledge

a mechanic like crit strings is also something you'll have to test

[shell nest]

crit strings?

[woeful root]

automatic weapons will have a window where all shots crit after rolling a crit

for the columnus IAG, if you roll a crit, then the following three shots will also be crits, resulting in 4 crits from a single crit roll

it's the main reason why I prefer the columnus among the IAGs, at least for gunker

[shell nest]

ohh thats new. so columnus is really the go to weapon?

[woeful root]

laspistol also has good stats in general and really good crit stats

I know that revolver is good, but I don't use it so somebody else will have to chime in

[storm laurel]

revolver bussin

[shell nest]

for columnus wat blessing you use?

[woeful root]

I run Dumdum + Fire Frenzy

but dumdum is really the only fixed-in-place blessing for me

the second blessing can be whatever

[shell nest]

ohh close damage stuff. I wonder how close enough is close damage

to proc

and btw you use scriers gaze + disrupt destiny? or is it warp charges? I hesitate to use warp cause scrier just cancels it out

[woeful root]

i run disrupt destiny yeah since I'm using guns with good crit/weakspot damage

the warp charge branch is rather quite point inefficient, so if my weapons work well with disrupt destiny, I am going for that branch if I can help it

[woeful root]

apparently it's 8 meters now?

[shell nest]

I see but I find DD hard to maintain

[woeful root]

Dumdum has continuous damage falloff now and I haven't checked its range

since I can't trust the descriptions at all

there's a trick with DD where it remarks an enemy if the marked enemy isnt in your field of view

so you can look away and stare at a nearby enemy

the more precarious economy of DD is an issue yeah

though it's something I personally enjoy

[shell nest]

so benefit of DD + Scrier is better than just 6 warp charges?

[woeful root]

with weapons that'll benefit from both yeah

[shell nest]

I see I see. Imma farm for those blessings and try with columnus thanks!

[unborn niche]

[signal apex]

how do i stack up to 3 martyrdom

[candid sparrow]

God roll?

[craggy minnow]

i dunno about god

[candid sparrow]

are there better blessings?

[craggy minnow]

its probably usable but it's not a meta build and your blessings could be tier 4 anyway

yeah

[candid sparrow]

such as?

[craggy minnow]

i think people run flechette 4 and... something else on lawbringers for a critical bleed build

[candid sparrow]

oki

[signal apex]

crucis or ironhelm hammer

which is better in terms of going crazy with the horde

[craggy minnow]

I think ironhelm has better attack patterns for cleaving

Check the inspect menu or meat grinder though

[mental sequoia]

Crucis

After extended time with both the heavy on crucis is way more forgiving and easy to clear hordes with over ironhelm. Mainly cause Ironhelm has a 3rd attack in the heavy set of attack where crucis is 2 big side sweeps.

[unborn niche]

A god roll is a weapon with perfect stats, perks, and blessings. This shotgun has good stats, bad perks, and two teir 3 blessings. SO you're a ways off from a god roll, but swap your perks for maniac and flakk damage and you have a good shotgun that should be fun to use

[rose bison]

Does Block Efficiency effect your durability during revives, imagining that when you revive people and get attacked you hear the "Ping offs" like youre blocking

[lost ferry]

I'm genuinely confused as to how people keep aggroing Daemonhosts. It's the easiest fucking thing to hear, they always get pinged

[candid sparrow]

is this even worth buying when the glorious mk iv exists? It does have some sexy stats and i can rearrange the perks to something very nice

[unborn niche]

Some people just aren't paying attention, but I did have a mutie throw me into a daemonhost the other day. Not much I could have done there xD

[signal apex]

ive asked this question before but ill ask again, which shotgun is far superior

[vocal nacelle]

ripper mk5 and kickback

[lost ferry]

Depends on if you want sheer power or range. Agripinaa for range, Kantrael for damage. Agri's secondary slug shell also procs Full Bore if you can get it

[signal apex]

its honestly neither of those actually, i want to know which is best for horde clearing

[lost ferry]

Lawbringer then

Even if that's inefficient as hell

[signal apex]

alright

ty

[drowsy path]

I remember someone talking about being able to tweak Visual FX on ability uses, what's the option for it?

Like, when I use Veteran stealth I can't see shit

I found it. It's tied to Peril FX Intensity

[fervent ridge]

Goodjob varlet

[storm laurel]

kantreal special spam

infinite range flamethrower that ignores bulwark shields

[signal apex]

fair enough

[storm laurel]

any other shotgun you're just wasting on hordes

unless it's just a single shot to get that melee specialist up

[sturdy hemlock]

Can we get some sound fixes any time soon?

Really sick and tired of ZERO sound indications of either Trappers, hordes, or ragers.

[stoic iron]

silent/quiet bursters are a menace

[hollow ermine]

can smite crit?

[stoic iron]

if you have a psyker you can check in the meat grinder

[hollow ermine]

good idea, thanks

[cedar dune]

Hey guys my game crashed and i opened it instantly but didnt get reconnect option, it was around in the middle of the carnival map. Does this mean i got kicked or just a general error making me unable to reconnect?

[mental sequoia]

This build feels great.

[craggy minnow]

Depending on how you crash out you can lose the slot

Idk if you can kick someone who's holding the slot to reconnect instead of being in the game

[cedar dune]

Its just instant game closes and sends me to desktop. Hell it crashes even faster than if i would alt+f4 xD

[spring spire]

guys quick question, when my friend and i make a strike team (so 2 players in our squad) we cant find any games. He bought the game new and is lvl 3, i tried with characters ranging from lvl 4-30. Solo we have no problem, but as a squad it wont find anything

anyone here know a fix for that, or better if it is a known problem the link to fatsharks response?

[fervent ridge]

Did either of you put the setting for the game creation to Private matchmaking

[spring spire]

nope, its on public

[hollow ibex]

Hi boys. Any czech players playing this game. I need some for my glorious kill team.

[hollow ibex]

I play mainly only heresy and sometimes malice. but with a full team i can do damnation and maelstorm or aurics.

[hollow ibex]

I am playing this game from beta so i know what i am doing and i am seasoned gamer so no need to worry about me being newbie.

If somebody wants to play with me my fatshark friend code is 0180420693.

hey, does experience gained increases with threat difficulty?

[hollow ibex]

Yes it does

[gray raven]

[hollow ibex]

Thank you my friend.

[sinful birch]

I'm brand new to the game and kinda struggling with this penance for Psyker, For The Emperor (1)
Most maps I've played don't seem to have many places I could push 7 enemies off at, especially not consistently since I'm pugging my teams.
I also find it tricky to brain burst a pouncing hound as they die real quick and I've had them kinda just run off after attempting 1 pounce never to be seen again?
Anyone got any tips for these penances that could help? Would appreciate it

[stoic iron]

I'll copy paste what I told someone else about the pushing enemies.

I've not done it myself but I would think that the end of Vigil Station Oblivium would be the easiest since there are 2 narrow bridges that open up in the final event and you can push enemies off the sides
spam pushing hoards of poxwalkers or trauma staff on armoured enemies

for the dog one I got naturally while leveling and playing low difficulties since people either can't hit the dogs or can't kill them fast enough since everyone's guns suck

the dog doesn't even have to be mid air when you burst it

[sinful birch]

I've managed to burst a few dogs a bit after a pounce or before they have the chance but with no penance completion. Is it important that I don't go down to brain rupture in the skill tree to make it pop?

[stoic iron]

brain burst and rupture both work

[sinful birch]

Good good. Do you know the rough timing for their pounce? I was kinda assuming I had to hit them mid air, but would it work while they're actively on a teammate too?

[stoic iron]

no they can't already be on a teammate, they have to be right about to pounce on someone

[sinful birch]

That makes it trickier but I guess I gotta just keep on trying. Might try to get a group willing to help me rather than pug it tho.
Thanks for the help!

[stoic iron]

I have the clip of me getting the penance that I can show you if you think it will help

[sinful birch]

Well it wouldn't hurt!

[sinful birch]

This gives me an idea, thank you!

[stoic iron]

[deep kestrel]

Is there anything I can report to on a player thats just been harrassing other players?

[pseudo sail]

how is that a thing?

[signal apex]

That's

Actually rare to happen in darktide

[deep kestrel]

@signal apex I know right? but had this guy just nonstop talking smack to this other player the whole game .

[tidal cedar]

So Im sure this is out there, but does a level discrepancy between teammates matter that much?

[hard goblet]

Depends on the difficulty level being played. It matters much more in Damnation than in Malice, up to a point.

[craggy minnow]

Level affects how good your weapons can be and how many perks you can unlock, but skill can bridge a huge gap

Most people below level 30 are on their first characters though

[deep wagon]

What is brittleness?

[fast laurel]

Basically it's a cumulative rending effect against a single target that stacks up to 16. 1 stack is 2.5% rending

So in total, a 40% rending effect that benefits the whole team

What this means is that you, at max stacks, are doing 40% more damage against an enemy. Brittleness is most noticeable against Crushers

[storm laurel]

also doesn't apply to unarmored or infested

[scenic field]

Which Zealot Heavy swords are the good ones? I remember trying one and disliked it a lot, but each one is different.

[deep wagon]

...whats rending

[hard goblet]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1046912126746374274/1176287174270914651/Screenshot_20231120_143302_Discord.jpg?ex=656e51cc&is=655bdccc&hm=d1bb18355599c54b900312926cd30d9e54ee36c922a57e1d0d377947e5e65af7&

[dawn monolith]

I'm a little confused how do carapace enemy work in terms of armor are you able to knock it off? (I'm new)

[shut lichen]

you can eat it

[hard goblet]

Carapace armor is simply an armor type. It has the highest resistance to most damage types. There is no dynamic armor system in this game so you can't knock armor plates away or anything like that.

[dawn monolith]

Would I just have to get carapace damage increases then

[hard goblet]

Debuffs like brittleness and buffs like rending are meant to simulate additional armor penetration that weapons can achieve against carapace.

[hard goblet]

Depends on the weapon/class you have in mind.

On a chainsword or autogun for example, you still aren't going to deal that much damage against carapace.

[dawn monolith]

What about like shotgun?

[hard goblet]

Shotguns also don't deal much damage at base values against carapace. I mostly see/hear shotguns being used against specials or for horde clear.

[dawn monolith]

Okay so just in general carapace are not fun?

[rigid wasp]

I like fighting maulers with carapace

Because it tricks you, his helmet is carapace but his chest armor isn’t so it’s where you should shoot

[smoky swallow]

what would be some good maps to try and get the "cliffhanger" psyker penance?

besides chasm logistratum bridge, cause I rarely see that map on the terminal

[hard goblet]

Carapace wearing enemies are meant to be high HP tough enemies if that's what you're asking.

[dawn monolith]

Yeah that what I meant

[hard goblet]

The espionage mission in the torrent is another good location with the central cogitator array and the 2 bridges that extend to it for the finale.

[radiant cedar]

is there a way to do solo private games i wanna get a penance done

[quick remnant]

Unless with mod no

Have to have 2 persons

[thick otter]

Do curios have differences besides name and look or do some have better chance of having different blessings/perks. For example: Caged curios have a better chance of getting combat perks as to where Caskets have a better chance of getting the HP% perk

Is this a thing or is it all random no matter what type of curio you have

[rigid wasp]

It honestly feels random, that would be a cool concept but atm I feel like they're just different so people have an easier time telling them apart from eachother, cause having 100 curious with the same design would make it difficult to tell them apart

[stoic fable]

is this worth getting from melk on my veteran if i swap out raking fire and one of the perks?

[tight rover]

is the ogryn big box of hurt penance still bugged?

[cobalt basalt]

hi guys i haven’t been able to get on darktide for 6 hours cause of a backend error and i’ve tried everything to fix can anyone please help (On Xbox)

[viscid vapor]

Trying to fix constant crashes here, the only consistent thing I see is the 3D only part of GPU usage spikes to 100% out of nowhere and the the game crashes... and half the time it closes discord too. I'm not doing anything gpu intensive, i was just looking at the skill tree, mouse over a node, and then crash. This has happened like 8 times in a row, I legitimately cannot even complete my skill tree now and this is unbelievably frustating

[rigid wasp]

Ngl that's a clean ass pistol, either way it's always good to get weapons with good stats just in case you wanna use it

[stoic fable]

@rigid wasp should i swap out raking fir efor dum dum or ghost? also which one of the perks should i replace with a + to mutant/flak do you think?

[rigid wasp]

If you replace raking fire then I also reccomend replacing the crit perk

[glass scaffold]

Ogryn penance question:
Is the Bring the Hurt penance bugged? (On Heresy, directly hit 4 Elites/Special's in a row without missing with the Big Box of Hurt, 5 times). Ive made sure to get it twice now but isnt counting towards the penance. Only thing i can think of is that its bugged to only count without the blitz upgrades, which i havent tried because i aint messing around with no talent points on Heresy...

[rigid wasp]

It's not bugged it's just very finicky as are all ogryn penance, I reccomend doing a shock troop gauntlet mission as it has many specialist enemies, hunting ground missions work too

[glass scaffold]

The amount of specialists or elites isnt really a problem, ive been careful to get right in their face before throwing, and made DAMN sure im getting 4 in a row. Its just not counting them.

[tight rover]

in what way is it finicky, like whats the catch?

[rigid wasp]

Sometimes it resets if there's a random poxwalker in between the elites can ruin the whole challenge, it has to be 4 elites in a row only

[rigid wasp]

I only suggested these since they have less poxwalkers that can fucj it up, and on hunting grounds there's like 20 dogs that spawn in a pack

[tight rover]

what a nightmare

[tight rover]

ty for claification

[glass scaffold]

Yeah i assumed thats what you meant. As said though, i made really sure that the box never touched anything else, only Ragers, Gunners, Shottys, Flamers, Trappers, Bombers and Dogs. Thats why im thinking its bugged because its just not counting.

[rigid wasp]

Maybe, I got it before this update

[glass scaffold]

Id probably be willing to test it out with next to no talent points to see if the blitz nodes are why its not working, but id need 2 or 3 people to be willing to carry me for that lol

[austere epoch]

can someone explain to me how earning blessings works? Like if i rip out a deathspitter for an autogun, is that then available for ALL autoguns? or just that one specific autogun?

[craggy minnow]

Infantry autoguns

Or headhunter autoguns etc

[austere epoch]

ok, is that shared on account is that character specific?

[fervent ridge]

Blessings are account wide

[craggy minnow]

The family is the part after the mk number, and its shared across the account

[austere epoch]

AH gotcha, so what i pull out of an infantry auto i could not then put into a headhunter. correct?

[craggy minnow]

True

[austere epoch]

awesome thank you

[stoic iron]

the only exception afaik is psyker force staves, which do not share blessings

[signal apex]

how do you get this lil yellow banner

[rigid wasp]

It's the class thingy for ogryn

[craggy minnow]

They mean the skull

Wait they both have skulls

40k moment

The right hand one

[glass scaffold]

Next question i hope somebody knows, whats the GAMES max cap for toughness damage reduction? Its possible to reach 100% with the Zealot, but i know the game reduces that to a cap so youre not just invincible.

Last i knew from waaaay back when the game released it was 94%, is that still the cap or did they reduce it over the months?

[woeful root]

i doubt that there's a hard cap

but most sources of toughness DR (and reductive effects in general) stack multiplicatively

ogryn has some additive stuff but I don't think it will stack up to 100%

[signal apex]

the skkull skull yellow banner

[woeful root]

so i'd prob ask in ogryn chat for the max amount of DR attainable

[storm laurel]

that just means they're in a party

or if it's at the end of game and there isn't another person with one, it means he wants to party

that's what the merge strike team option does at the end game screen

[tranquil cobalt]

How do the blessings and re-blessing mechanics work? I'm curious how I can replace or add blessings onto a gun, for example do I need to take a blessing off a specific weapon like bolter to put onto another bolter?

[storm laurel]

yeah

you get a gun with a blessing you want

[glass scaffold]

Ooooh, its multiplicative not additive. Thats where i was going wrong. NVM, cheers.

[storm laurel]

'sacrifice' it at hadron to get that blessing

and then you can infinitely apply that blessing to other weapons of the same type

they also save across saves, so you only need to get them once per gun

[tranquil cobalt]

dang it. i actually wasted a lot of materal for no reason then

frack

[glass scaffold]

Dont worry, weve all been thhere at one point or another lol

IIts a somewhat painful lesson to learn

[tranquil cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/tts-sad-sob-lament-uncontrollable-gif-19007906

[glass scaffold]

Was worse before the crafting rework though, where you quite literally had to spam refine perks until you got the one you actually wanted..... so much wasted materials......

"Oh hey, lemme try and roll crit chance perk"
rolls 30 times before it pops
Yes! Finally got it!
ends up being only rank 2 crit cahnce perk
FECK!
rolls another 30

Was so bad lmao

Im just waiting for the day they finally let us re-stat the weapons. Id GLADLY pull points out of one stat on a weapon to pump them into another, but likely wont happen.

[umbral plaza]

[signal apex]

oh ok

[winter pecan]

How does Earn Blessings work?
I'm pretty sure I ate a Shovel with Confident Strike 4 on it, but I don't see it as an option to Re-Bless on my Cleaver

Does it have to be the same weapon type for it to be shared

...omg I think it is. End me

[stoic iron]

blessings are only shared with the weapon type yeah

with the exception of psyker force staves

[fervent ridge]

Poor Mega

Another victim of the crafting system

[winter pecan]

Fatshark whyyyyyyy

[glass scaffold]

Isnt there a small tutorial thing that pops up when you first unlock Hadron?

[plush trench]

is there a way to see end of mission stats? i want to know ho wwell im doing

[fervent ridge]

Only possible with the scoreboard mod

[quick remnant]

It depend on the names after the Mk

[quick remnant]

It's restricted by weapon family but account wide

Either, but class channels are more suited, Ogryn have their full guide already though

[lament trellis]

Hi mates, what perks should I look for on antax?
Rolled Limbsplitter IV and Headtaker IV which seem good, but idk if brutal momentum isn't needed too

[fervent ridge]

Antax wants Flak and Maniac

Headtaker 4 is best in slot

you want Brutal Momentum as well

Bm & a power blessing (can be headtaker or decimate) + flak (maniac too if possible, otherwise at least flak) is the core setup for a good antax mk v

[mental sequoia]

Think I can guess but keep or toss?

[minor marsh]

hey guys my mod options arent showing up

any idea how to fix that?

the mods ARE enabled, but the mod options just dont show up lol

like such.

Figured it out. nexusmods doesnt correctly handle the modloadorder file, shame/

[fervent ridge]

Did u update the bat. file after the latest hotfix

okok

[minor marsh]

Yeah, it's simply to do with Vortex

It'll say "this file is managed by vortex" which f's over the modoptions

Just fixed it by running a bat file to input loadorder automatically like such

Looked like this before, seems Vortex does not manage it correctly.

Weird how the mods still load but wont show the options though hah.

[shell nest]

does ranged weak spot damage work with trauma staff and purgatus?

[lament trellis]

Ok, thanks a lot! Not sure what damage bonuses I have on it, but it will be a close enough weapon for me to actually be satisfied

[torn cargo]

Should I go with Decapitator IV (+24% finesse for 5 secs on enemy one-shot, stacks 5 times) and Flak damage, or Headtaker IV and Flak damage?
(I'll keep Thunderous and Unyielding damage)

[signal apex]

any methods in doing the "make your shots count" penance?

[lament trellis]

Seems decent enough, could be better but it's my first workable weapon

[past niche]

Is there a difficulty spike come the 3 bar difficulty level (malice I think)?
I keep failing at those even as a group
Also, how do I get weapons with better stats? all the stuff I have are <50% in everything

[deep wagon]

Level up and get new weapons

[past niche]

Dang, I like my lasgun

Should I stop doing public games come malice difficulty? it seems really hard to clear on public

[craggy minnow]

Malice requires a certain level of effectiveness across the team and my experience while levelling my second psyker recently is that 80% of the people queueing malice expect/need a hard carry

[past niche]

oof, yeah I have no idea what I'm doing half the time

better practice on the first two difficulty levels before I try malice again

what's the best way to learn how to not suck so I can do malice runs properly?

[past niche]

One last question for now, are weapons with high stats tied to trust level? like do I need to keep getting new weapons at certain levels as they get powercrept?

[hard goblet]

The base rating range of weapons you see in shops/can get from Brunt's Armory are tied to your character's level.

You don't necessarily need to buy new weapons to start seeing base rating 370+ weapons.

You just need to reach level 30.

I'd recommend you not spend any plasteel/diamantine until you've reached level 30.

[past niche]

Thanks, wish I knew that beforehand

[candid sparrow]

What graphics options do I need to turn down to improve my fps when fighting hordes?

[remote needle]

hi, new player here what are some good resources to learn the game?

[shell nest]

what does precognition do with scriers gaze in psyker? im not sure what finesse damage is.

[woeful root]

+10% finesse damage = +10% crit dmg and +10% weakspot damage (same as the weakspot dmg and crit dmg perks)

[rigid wasp]

You can watch begginwrs guides on YouTube but I honestly reccomend just playing the game, it has a rough learning curve but just keep at it, I'll give a few tips to help as well since this isn't stated in the beginning of the game

1. Don't be afraid to switch classes to try out the other characters, you just started so it's best to do so

2. Try not to upgrade weapons when you're a low level, later on in the game plasteal gets melted through and you'll end up needing it a lot

3. Instead of selling the blue weapons you get, earn their blessing

4. And don't be afraid to make your own builds and try out different weapons, everyone's play styles are Different and it's always fun to see new builds

[rigid wasp]

The max rating on a white weapon is 380, but even then you don't need to focus too hard on that since sometimes the weapon won't have the stats you desire, once you hit level 30 just gamble and focus on the stats a weapon has and doesn't have until you find one you like

[signal apex]

someone got a 381

[rigid wasp]

On god????

Is it a white because I specifically said the max is 380 for a white weapon

[signal apex]

not really sure since it was in inspection

but

its profane

so im guessing thats white

the rating shows it a 380 but in total it was a 381

[unkempt dust]

Im pretty new, what does it mean when my toughness bar turns yellow?

[rigid wasp]

I looked it up, when you add up all the numbers it'll sometimes be higher than 380 but shows up as 380

[violet flicker]

it means someone on your team is buffing your toughness over its normal cap

[rigid wasp]

Overshield pretty much

[unkempt dust]

thank you

[rigid wasp]

Like this weapon it's rating is 380 but when you add up all the numbers it's 381

[signal apex]

fair enough

[remote needle]

thanks

[earnest quarry]

Does bomber resist do anything vs pox bursters? or just bombers

[rigid wasp]

Not too sure it probably reduced the damage you take from the explosion of the pox buster but I don't think it'd be effective, I think corruption resistance is more viable against them since it'll reduce the corruption damage you take from them and anything else

[hard goblet]

Just bombers.

[steep trail]

what's the best way to reach 30 the fastest? got all 4 classes to 30 but don't like my zealot voice and made a new one

should you spam malice to 30 or go for damnation when you can?

like is damnation xp worth it if you spend more time in the mission than malice

[hard goblet]

That depends entirely on your teammates.

A good team can clear Damnations in 22-29 minutes or so.

The fastest way to level would be running the highest difficulty content you can consistently and reliably clear.

[earnest quarry]

Thanks guys

[steep trail]

alright fair enough, think I'll stick to malice then since in damnation I spend so much more time to clear through hordes because of the low rating weapons and teammates are a coinflip

[obsidian cradle]

what level do you get t2 blessings at?

[vocal nacelle]

T2 blessing?

Its rng

[deep wagon]

How does sustained fire work?

Is it every 3rd and 4th bullet or just the first 3rd and 4th

Like does it repeat in a single trigger pull?

[obsidian cradle]

as you level up you unlock the next tiers

u start at tier 1s only

[hard goblet]

A salvo is measured from when a weapon's recoil starts to when it resets.

[deep wagon]

Can you explain... idk further? I dont understamd

[hard goblet]

Sustained Fire says the 3rd and 4th shots in a salvo get a boost right?

[vocal nacelle]

Probably lvl 5+

[obsidian cradle]

ok ty

[deep wagon]

Read my follow up, i think is the part that confuses me

[deep wagon]

.

[deep wagon]

.

Like if i just lay on the trigger, will it only proc twice or will it keep proccing

[hard goblet]

Well, recoil only resets once you stop firing and your crosshair's bloom settles back to where it was before you started shooting.

You can see this any time you fire your weapon of choice.

So if you never let go of the trigger

You never end the salvo.

So only shots 3 and 4 of that particular salvo get a boost.

The boost only happens once per salvo.

If you fire in bursts of at least 4 shots, then pause and wait for your recoil reset, and then repeat then every 3rd and 4th shot per sequence of trigger pulls gets a boost.

You can also test this in the psykhanium's meat grinder and see which shots get increased damage.

[hollow ivy]

I have this ridiculous knife on my veteran and have a few questions about what to do with it:

1. People run bleed knife on zealot, but I assume it's not as good on veteran. If these blessings aren't worth keeping, what would be better?
2. If I should keep the blessings, what perks should go on this?
   I just happened into this knife so I'm less worried about taking it into high difficulties than just having it to mess around with

[vocal nacelle]

change mercy killer to uncanny strike
for perk i dunno i rarely use knife

you can stab crusher or any elite on the head to deal massive dmg

[static cove]

i dont have any blessings to change with yet, so those are gonna have to stay. but perks?

my noob brain thinks theyre ok, but id like you professionals to take a gander

[stoic iron]

flak and maniac for perks but if you want to keep it open to a potential upgrade from rampage 2 to 3/4 then just change the stamina to whicher gives you more trouble between flak/maniac

the difference isnt big though

[static cove]

i honestly havent noticed any specific issues. but i'll probably switch it to flak though

thanks pal, i appreciate it

[violet flicker]

i have a similar knife with infested/unyielding that does great boss damage and thats mainly what i used it for+mobility. infested is for trash tho and if you only use it in malice you might not need it. ive seen uncanny strike/mercy killer with the talent serrated blade suggested for hi weakspot dmg i havent tried it and serrated blade is harder to access now imo... personally i would keep the blessings as is and just change the perks

lacerate/uncanny strike like bristly suggested might be rly fun tho lol

[hollow ivy]

ok, thanks for the info, looks like I'll have to start looking around for uncanny strike 3/4

[rigid wasp]

If you want to bleed with knife, at least use flesh tearer

Lacerate promotes bodyshots on a weapon with idiotic finesse (specially on heavies) multipliers and flesh tearer does twice the stacks lacerate does, doesn't limit you to bodyshots and relies on crit on a weapon that already is probably the fastest melee in the game and is nearly always present on crit builds

[hollow ivy]

I'm not necessary going into bleed with it, just seems like it'd be a waste of an opportunity to get rid of both of those tier 4 bleed blessings lol
the disconnect with lacerate/uncanny strike is kind of odd, and so flesh tearer does make sense as an alternative to lacerate

I just unlocked flesh tearer IV... I'd say the omnissiah has spoken

[vocal nacelle]

not suggesting bleed for vet

zealot can because it got talent node that benefit bleed and crit

[astral warren]

which is better on IX heavy sword, + carapace damage or + unarmored? first perk is + flak

[fervent ridge]

Flak Maniac

[winter pecan]

Should I try and replace any of these for higher melk coins? I don't know which contracts are good

[signal apex]

Nah

They're all good

Easy even

Unless you wanna get the "pick up scripts/grimoire contract"

It's easy just time consuming trying to find one

[umbral plaza]

when does vanguard drip hit?

[signal apex]

End of month from what I heard

[vocal nacelle]

change 8 mission to diamantine

[rigid wasp]

Plasteel and diamantine are the easiest, so try to get the high difficulty one of them

[young rampart]

So i completed a penance and it shows the cosmetic is unlocked but its not appearing in my inventory???

[shut oyster]

have you tried relogging?

[stoic iron]

try relogging or restarting the game

[young rampart]

Will do that, lets see

[shut oyster]

Why doesnt the stat bar on a weapon fill up the whole way if +80% is the best we can get?

[stoic iron]

they may introduce a higher weapon tier later

[shut oyster]

[stoic iron]

people talk about red weapons, which I would assume was a thing in vermintide

[shut oyster]

*is a thing

[stoic iron]

you can just mod it to have 80 be the cap if it annoys you that much

[stoic iron]

haven't played it wouldn't know

[young rampart]

Got it, thanks!

[stoic iron]

[shut oyster]

[winter pecan]

alright. Thanks

[brisk crag]

Can anyone tell me what "Power" does exactly?

[little coyote]

dmg + cleave + stagger

[brisk crag]

Oh dang. So that one is pretty good huh

[little coyote]

yes

well depends on what gun but I'd recon so

oh it's shotgun right

[brisk crag]

Kantrael Mk XI combat shotgun

yeah

It's the spreadshot high damage one

so if I meatshot an enemy I can trigger full bore

[little coyote]

haven't really messed around with the shotgun but that does seem decent

[brisk crag]

Yeah that seems pretty good to me, I'll wanna keep a lookout for the lvl 4 blessing

thanks!

[little coyote]

no problem

[quick charm]

Does anyone know exactly how much toughness you regenerate every second through coherency? Is it a flat amount or is it a percentage? Struggling to find any information on this

[unborn lotus]

just a side question i just got the game, did a quest on heresy and 2 lvl 30s just talking shit the entire game, is that just another day in darktide?

[little coyote]

they're pretty rare to my experience

but they were probably Veterans

[unborn lotus]

ah ty and perhaps? for veterans their mouths were too big, they went down a lot more :/

[little coyote]

Meant the Veteran class, and yeah that sounds like one

[unborn lotus]

oh XD

yea 1 was a veteran and other was zealot

but thank you for the response 😄

[fast laurel]

Its a flat toughness regen from coherency vs toughness on kill which is percentage.

[simple abyss]

ehhh its just heresy, usually the shitters kinda float there

[unborn lotus]

oh... ok guess i gotta speed level and just go up

[fast laurel]

As for the actual amount of flat toughness you get? I dont know the numbers unfortunately. But the percentage amount you get on kills for all classes is 5%

[quick charm]

Alright thanks, any idea what the flat number might be?

[fast laurel]

I dont know yet sorry

[quick charm]

Sorry on phone

Also didn't vets use to have 7.5% toughness on kill? Did they get rid of that?

[fast laurel]

nvm Toughness coherency regen is 5 flat toughness per second

[quick charm]

Alright awesome thanks!

Where did you even find the information, I was going mad looking for even a crumb

[fast laurel]

A lot of the topics have been asked and answered in this Discord already

Theres also the search bar if you know what keywords to use

[woeful root]

if it's still like patch 12, it'll be 7.5 flat toughness per second because all weapons give a 1.5x multiplier on toughness coherency regen for some reason

[fast laurel]

lmao thats funny

[quick charm]

Didn't think to search within the discord :^)

[fast laurel]

I think its 5 flat toughness now

[quick charm]

Either way knowing its flat was what's most important to me

[vocal nacelle]

its normal in heresy, what lvl are you?

heresy player tend to get salty depending the class and lvl

[quick charm]

Ngl I do get a little salty if I run into people that aren't level 30 in damnation/heresy but willing to give them a chance unless they die to every horde 😔

[vocal nacelle]

my expectation is very low just perform better than a bot and you are good for me

as in "dont die in 10s during horde"

[quick charm]

Honestly same, but when that expectation isn't met it breaks my heart

When I see a lv13 in a damnation lobby I'd rather just leave though, even if its someone actually amazing at the game they're crippling themselves and the team so much

[hard goblet]

No real reason to take the risk.

[rigid wasp]

People mainly do it for quick money , xp, and loot without realizing that with how many times they lose they could've made that money from lower levels and more

[quick charm]

I definitely get why and I know the only way to learn is to try, but for me personally I preferred being about as prepared as I could be before moving on to damnation

And i wish people would share the sentiment to keep things just a tiny bit less stressful, even if that is sometimes what I love about the game

Tbf it doesn't happen all that much though, much more so in heresy

[fervent ridge]

Heresy is the hardest difficulty in the game

For an easier time and more consistent rewards go into auric damnation

Much easier games there

[quick charm]

not even false

[mental sequoia]

Maybe I'll start running Auric again for my Plasteel grind. Since normal Damnation has been hell.

[rigid wasp]

Maun issue with damnation is that you'll usually find a lot of casual players or low levels while auric is more tailored for sweating

[mental sequoia]

Which I tend to do by accident.

[fervent ridge]

Like 80% of the difficulty from any given missions is more to do with the quality of teammates than the actual difficulty itself

Especially since the game is old enough for plenty of people hitting auric to do so with top end gear

on my thunderhammer zealot or stubber/cleaver ogryn for example I trivialize bosses and mixed hordes respectively to the point there is nothing to kill and auric will let you meet many teammates who are able to do stuff like that so you can usually tag along and just get carried

[mental sequoia]

Then off I go to complete my few weapons on this grind

[cerulean badge]

Is that any good ? What should I change if it is good ?

[coral violet]

either replace both blessings for shred&wrath or infested into flak/maniac and skullcrusher into shred

you on zealot? just try it as is first

[round verge]

Just got the game, I played a decent amount of vermintide.
Where can I find up to date info on what I should expect from each class? Comparisons to vermintide or an idea of what each class can achieve would also be helpful if they're relevant.
edit: I understand the summary of what each does, vet = range, zealot = melee, etc. But in practice, they can usually "achieve" more with a full build.

[shell nest]

check out JFJs darktide video

the one for beginners

[round verge]

JFJ's Darktide for Dummies? Will do

[shell nest]

yep. the videos from bricky are more...casual. I do not recommend it for people who want to learn something useful. theres build videos too but its better to look those build videos first AFTER you got a feel of your level 30 character and got at least a few games in damnation

[unborn sail]

ogryn is slayer and ironbreaker combined

[round verge]

One quick question, it says Veteran is outdated. Description/comments don't elaborate and there are no new videos from JFJ. What is "outdated" referring to only a month later?

[fervent ridge]

The veteran talent tree has received a rework

Many talents are changed or no longer applicable

This rework hit a week after the video

[round verge]

That makes sense. Thanks. I guess I can search that rework specifically. It's one of the characters I'm interested in.

[fervent ridge]

Vet is very dry and relatively shallow as far as the possibilities imaginable, but if you like to keep life simple then it definitely has things you can get into with minimal gamesense or knowledge- and that includes lacking knowledge on building your talents because Vet is just that intuitive

[round verge]

I really appreciate that summary/insight, thanks.

[shell nest]

does quickplay really count? cause I find I still get 700+ plasteel on normal damnation than in quickplay damnations

[unborn sail]

Yeah you get 10% extra so 700 turns into 770. If you don't want to play Carnival 6 trillion times or if the 10% isn't worth it to you then no, don't play QP

[shell nest]

oof yeah probs not. carnival is just too damn boring now

[haughty lance]

i found ogryn the easiest to get into (with no prior experience in 'tide' games), take up a slab shield and the taunt ability and tank everything your mates don't one-tap. happy days

it's rather slow on the 'hitting things' part but once you get a routine of blocking/pushing, dodging + heavy attack going, you can take on most things and live long enough for your mates to do damage while you make them not take any by forcing the enemies to target you instead

[wicked yacht]

what's the best way to farm tier 4 blessings? upgrading to blue or upgrading to yellow?

[leaden wave]

Buying blue, upgrading to yellow, and keeping an eye on melk’s shop

[dull wadi]

alternative, bulk buy lots of grey weapons and upgrade to blue you get faster plastide than diamantium.

[fervent birch]

how would I get the 90% damage on a monstrosity as psyker?

[smoky swallow]

my advice is this:

1. It has to be private match so get set up with at least one person
2. Have that one person go Ogryn with shield
3. Hope you find a Daemonhost.
4. Have your Ogryn buddy piss her off and then set up his shield with his back against a wall.
5. If you've other player squad mates, have them pull security (i.e. kill approaching fodder and enemies) as you just brain burst away at the Daemonhost.
6. Profit.

[fervent birch]

thanks

[smoky swallow]

honestly the Daemonhost encounters turn into a joke the second an Ogryn puts up his shield. he's invulnerable and she just doesn't stop wailing on him

[craggy minnow]

It does eat up a player doing nothing but tanking, but if you aren't otherwise stressed that's fine

[smoky swallow]

yeah, I suppose that's fair

[craggy minnow]

I had a shieldgryn wake up a daemonhost about 2 seconds before a horde and a chaos spawn arrived yesterday

He sat with his shield and we wiped lol

[smoky swallow]

that's an unfortunate series of events lol

[craggy minnow]

We probably would have woken it anyway given the chaos spawn and the location lol, but we were only like 1 minute into hab dreyko

Where you jump down on the right at the end of the bridge (i think its dreyko)

Daemonhost right in the middle of the lower area, awful spot

[smoky swallow]

sometimes it's just not your day

[craggy minnow]

Daemonhost rng is fun

70% of the time they're no big deal, 25% of the time they're a scary obstacle with enemies around them

5% of the time prepare for violence

[leaden wave]

Also If you have a 3rd have them be a focus target vet to tag the monstrosity to make it take more damage

[young rampart]

Did not get hit once, but no On Overwatch or Untouchable…

I swear

I fking hate this game

[red bronze]

does anyone know how poxburster damage works? It seems like they deal reduced damage the lower health I have?

or i think it's like, if they would kill me they instead do half damage?

[quick remnant]

Think Pox Burster's damage is related to it's proximity when exploding

[red bronze]

i'm using the creature spawner and just eating them head on each time

https://imgur.com/a/BxVFqhG

[woeful root]

part of their damage is corruption

so they deal 100 total damage, you take 50 hp damage and 50 corruption if hit by their inner radius

if you, say, had 100 current hp and 150 max uncorrupted hp, you would take 50 corruption first, and then the 50 hp damage later

since you have 50 hp conveniently missing, all corruption does is lower your max hp

and then you take 50 hp damage

so you end up being reduced to 50 hp instead of dying

[red bronze]

Oh, I see now

that makes sense

thanks

[uneven sand]

Is that 5% counting the ppl who are suicidal and start charging it? XD

[smoky swallow]

at what level should I jump to Heresy? like, 15-20?

[fervent ridge]

20+ for sure

Heresy is where all the noobs gather, you'll have a rough time

[hard goblet]

Ideally, no earlier than level 20. Realistically speaking though, your primary metric for increasing difficulty levels is to first be able to consistently clear missions without taking any health damage.

Practicing for that skillset will ensure you're as prepared as you can be for the increased quantity, density, and health/damage of enemies in higher levels.

And make you better prepared than 80% of the players that go into Heresy.

[remote needle]

does the same aura stack?

[fast laurel]

no

[remote needle]

thanks

[smoky swallow]

I was consistently no diff'ing damnation (no auric) as psyker, so i guess i'll be good

[rigid wasp]

No health damage consistently might be a bit of a harsh metric

I think getting used to the push-dodge loop for hordes and keeping a cool head on mauler, crusher and rager groups is a good thing

What you definitelly ideally want is for hordes to not be a threat to you at all and for you to be able to do things like navigate around them by killing specific enemies and making use of pushes to keep them from boxing you in

[steep trail]

what are the best blessings for the antax combat axe?

[rigid wasp]

And a good metric that admittedly does fit into no health damage is being able to consistently regenerate your toughness back to full if you take a melee hit

In essence, "don't lose what you can't get back"

[rigid wasp]

Brutal momentum and decimator (not decapitator)

[steep trail]

thank you

[plush trench]

so i just hit 30, what do i do other than quickplay?

meaning, whats the way to get better gear?

[warm nebula]

Welcome to the true final boss of Darktide: the RNG store and crafting system

[mild plover]

Is there a list of blessing and what there max level is. Like does Infernus max at 3 or go to 4 because i know some blessing only can be tier 3.

[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.

[hard goblet]

Infernus has a tier 4. https://darktide.gameslantern.com/weapon-blessing-traits

[mild plover]

Pearl I appreciate that list. I dug a bit and found it. @hard goblet

[plush trench]

oh....

[hard goblet]

Welcome to the club. 🙃

[gilded nimbus]

I might be stupid fr fr

[halcyon spruce]

what is the proper way to calculate "stacks of X%" blessings (Ex: "target receives 4 stacks of +5% Brittleness on hit. Lasts 5s.")? Is that simply 4x5% = 20% Brittles for 5s??

[hard goblet]

Correct.

And each hit refreshes the duration of the debuff to 5 seconds.

While increasing the stack count.

I don't recall offhand what the max # of stacks for brittleness is.

[halcyon spruce]

🙏

Brittleness debuffs and reduces the enemy's armour. Brittleness disregards Flak and Carapace armor mods and uses the base damage instead for the brittleness portion. At 50% brittleness, half the damage will calculate based on original armor type. Brittleness is basically "Rending" but for all future attacks plus your team also benefits from it. 1 Stack of brittleness = 5%

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/effects

unclear if that means 50% is the max

[woeful root]

extremely sus description

rending/brittleness also applies to unyielding and maniac

[fast laurel]

This seems like old info

[prisma pilot]

does anyone else get this error at random times and/or know how to fix it

[hard goblet]

I haven't, but that seems like a RAM error?

How much RAM do you have?

[craggy minnow]

Are you using the darkcache mod or running a ram intensive program like chrome with lots of tabs, as well

[coral violet]

dark cache causes that
