you're not going to miss out on much by spending money at low levels

[celest matrix]

Is this JSON going to show me flechette and man stopper? {
"blessing": [
"Man-Stopper",
"Flechette"
],
"color": "#ff00ff"

[hard goblet]

Dockets you can spend. Plasteel/diamantine would be wasted at below level 30 though given the base rating range you can acquire.

[queen thorn]

Between these 2 which is better?

[signal apex]

What's the max % for toughness curio and health curio

[vocal nacelle]

Asking this in modders discord might be better

[vocal nacelle]

16-17 toughness, 21 health

I never saw 17 toughness tho

[signal apex]

The 388 is better if you're not looking to go fast

[vocal nacelle]

Left one

[hard goblet]

17% toughness. 21% health.

[signal apex]

Plus you can switch the blessings

[signal apex]

Aight ty

[vernal plaza]

You dont need the full name so ill suggest just put 'stopper' in the blessing section
And id prefer putting the min stats the lowest filter but you do you

[dreamy wedge]

Is it possible for personal reasons, to load into a run completely solo? No bots, no teammates, no nothing?

[hard goblet]

Not without using a mod. Also prevents progression/rewards.

[dreamy wedge]

Progression/rewards prevention is fine

[hard goblet]

https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/176

Should be this one.

There's companion mods for other functionality in the description.

[dreamy wedge]

Thank

[final iron]

Anyone experienced strange lags (running forward although already stopped, not switching weapons, actions not activating with lag or not at all) in the last 2-3 weeks?
If not it is on my side / system and I'd just like to confirm first.

[tall cypress]

so i got to choose between getting T4 confident strike on ogryn club and deathspitter on infantry autogun. which one should i chose?

probably confident strike, right?

[fervent ridge]

Yea

Better blessing, inf auto guns are happy to have deathspitter but it's not as necessary as CS

[shell nest]

is there a mod to be able to look at the brunts armory without launching the game?

[eternal shore]

Hey guys, kind of a dumb question, but are plasteel and diamantine shared with the team during missions?

I know they are shared between your characters (wallet)

[quick remnant]

yes

[eternal shore]

Thanks

[warped hound]

how to get access to beta builds?

[quick remnant]

What you mean by beta builds ?

[midnight turret]

has someone tierlists or weapon guides

[simple merlin]

Hi guys we already do auric malestorm without big issues. But we want now to craft our weapons. Is there a nice website with the best curios for each weapon?

[mortal sierra]

Darktide games lantern website has all the blessings for each weapons

[vocal nacelle]

#ogryn-class , you dont really need confident strike on club maybe mk3 basher the mk1 and mk2 is heavy spam oriented

[vocal nacelle]

there's steam guide for ogryn called ogrynomicon

[hallow heart]

is there any way to change the button used to delete gear?

[analog brook]

is there a bug with the chainsword?

I feel like every time I try to chain heavy attacks they cancel and I have to charge them twice

[glass scaffold]

Not a mod, no, but there is the Darktide Armoury Exchange extension for Chrome.

[pliant hatch]

anyone know a fix for the audio being fine in the hub but turning low quality in lobby and missions?

[vocal nacelle]

How to handle Bulwarks

[amber leaf]

plasma gun, someone kite it while the rest of everyone beats it from behind, wait for it to attack so you can just shoot it, basically anythign that staggers ruins its day and krak nades are instant kills, with the damage bonus you can get whole packs if youre lucky

[vocal nacelle]

what character and what weapon

and how many bulwark

[main citrus]

That. I like the bolt gun. Check in the weapons screen "V" (inspect) and "E" (view attack breakdowns). You'll probably want to bring at lease 1 weapon that can do decent damage against carapace or a weapon with a trait that "rends". Krak grenades with nade regen are one good option for veterans IMO -- there will come a point when you run out of grenades.

I can't read. Bulwarks. Bolt gun. A lot of weapons will one shot stagger them.

If you are soloing with a non-stagger melee weapon attack after the swing or try dodging left past the shield to land hits.

[vocal nacelle]

vet you can deal bulwark with plasma or bolter
can also open the shield with hellbore 3 (terms and condition may apply)

if its 1-3 bulwark just wait for them to swing their club and counter attack so they get staggered

if the amount of bulwark is 5+ they can form linebacker formation and surround you (pray there's no crusher or trapper behind)
solution before they corner you is
-vet nade (frag/krak) /plasma/bolter
-ogryn charge/taunt/ogryn nade (box/ogrynheimer)/shield bash (? i forgot i rarely use shield)/rumbler
-ogryn fire ammo (works wonders using ripper)
-zealot stun nade/fire nade/bolter or get away with stealth
-psyker smite/surge/trauma/void/purgatus/venting shriek

@young rampart

[young rampart]

Thanks alot guys

Plasma/Bolter can just shoot thru the shield?

[fervent ridge]

plasma ignore shield, bolter will not penetrate the shield but if it has high enough collateral

It will stagger the bulwark open exposing his vulnerable front

'opening him up'

And is the only weapon able to do so

[vocal nacelle]

bolter and hellbore 3 can open up bulwark shield

but there's a funny condition on hellbore 3

the bulwark need to be stationary and the first hit must be fully charged shot

if not they gain somekind of stagger resistance

[main citrus]

Slug shotty can also open them up - the Agripinaa one. 5 shots out of any shotgun will stagger them -- but -- that's sort of desperation stuff IMO. Zealot hammers and the crusher can knock down the shield guard with a single powered hit.

Ogryn with a knife can upper-cut them 3 times on the shield to guard break and stagger lock them -- or just try to get in one good uppercut from the side for a stagger lock. Power maul can guard break them on the shield when charged. Rumbler sticky grenades ignore the frontal arc block -- you can stick them to a bulwark's weapon arm or sides pretty easily. They won't stagger on a shield hit -- so --just don't aim for the shield.

A decent psyker with a trauma staff should be able to hold back literally everything except bosses given a bit of space -- the trauma staff knocks down everything -- and does pretty decent damage against everything. On a side note, the push on the force sword can knock down every man sized enemy except chargers. It's nice to be able to toss around maniacs mid-combo if required.

I play a lot of bleed crit zealot with the old combat knife -- and I just dodge to the left side and stab the heck out of them with heavy attacks. I also play with a lot of bolter instead of revolver because of how ridiculously easily bolters deal with bulwark waves. And honestly -- if you aren't in a good place to fight them -- use space. Back up and get into a more open area -- preferably with a staircase. Kite the bulwark(s) up the stairs and then jump the rail to land in a better position. Or vault some cover to force the bulwark(s) to path around to you.

[wooden meadow]

Hi there, Do penances stack with allies of the same class in a team? also when are the good times to use stun grenades?

Trying to do Zelot panaces

[vocal nacelle]

I think so

Just throw it whenever there's a horde

[stoic iron]

throw a stun if you feel you're about to be or are overwhelmed, especially if you notice your team is bad at killing/stunning things like groups of crushers

sometimes I even just throw one in the general direction of my team who might be in the middle of a fight if I see one taking damage or something

a well placed stun grenade can save an entire team, but at that point ig you could say the same for all nades

[wooden meadow]

They stun anything!? I though Big elites would be immune.

[stoic iron]

anything that isn't a boss

[wooden meadow]

cool gud to know

thx

[stoic iron]

they're also amazing at getting a rez off in the middle of a bunch of enemies

[hexed stratus]

So the game will not boot on my PC or steam deck now. A random white wall of text appears and it says Exception occurred. Any ideas?

[little coyote]

Got mods installed?

[hexed stratus]

Nope

[little coyote]

Then I've got no ideas

[warm nebula]

Perform the usual steps to placate the Machine Spirit of your Gaming PC.
check for software & firmware updates, check for malfunctioning RAM/hardware, maybe clean the dust out if there’s a lot

now I want to commission art of a Gaming PC Machine Spirit

[hot geyser]

Does anyone know what this is supposed to mean? This is on the Finesse stat for the Rashad Mk II Combat Axe, for reference
The max roll (theoretical 100%) is maxed at 0.85, meaning it's impossible for the weapon to hit 1.00
This screenshot is a 79% roll, so almost maxed, and it still is only 0.79
but since these are being used as multipliers, doesn't that mean that your crit/weakspot hits are guaranteed to LOSE damage even with a perfect roll? You can never get a bonus, you are simply rolling to get the "least bad" outcome?
It seems so bizarre that I want to make sure I'm not misunderstanding

[warm nebula]

What does the “Light 1” attack say it does on crit and weakspot? You’re looking at the stat breakdown, can you share the attack breakdown?

There’s a guy on YT, “j_sat” I think, who reverse-engineered the damage calculations like 10 months ago

[hot geyser]

388 on weakspot/crit, 471 on crit weakspot, 264 base (unarmoured)

[warm nebula]

His info may not be up to date, but it may be the closest to what you want

So Light 1 weakspot to Unarmored, clearly does more than Light 1 body to Unarmored

Unless this is lying to us lol

[hot geyser]

It does, but don't weakspots have inherent multipliers as well which Finesse would then interact with?

[warm nebula]

That’s a question that I think only j_sat can answer

You could also try verifying those numbers in the Psykhanium

[hot geyser]

I mean, I'm sure the numbers work out in the end (or at least, they'd better), I'm more just trying to figure out if the stat text is stated correctly or if weird things are happening behind the scenes to make the math work out
I suppose it doesn't matter outside of academic curiosity in the end

odd. weakspot hits are landing at 408 rather than 388, body hits landing for 277
I'm officially confused but not sure I can parse out what's actually happening either, so maybe I'll just turn a blind eye to it lol

[worldly heart]

Is there a proven fastest/best way to farm Dockets & Plasteel? As in amount per hour

Should I be running Auric damnations or like speed running malice or something?

[void forge]

Depends on your skill level

Whatever highest difficulty you can finish reliably is your best bet for mats

[worldly heart]

👍 That's kinda what I figured, thanks

[formal rampart]

Collecting scriptures or grimoires is a good way to have extra dockets too

[vocal nacelle]

Quickplay normal damnation

Average payout is 650-760 plasteel

and 190-270 diamantine

[sinful geyser]

How do power boosts work?

[rigid sphinx]

anyone got a good build for completing malleus monstronum?
should i go warp charges or empowered psionics?

[void forge]

Power affects damage, cleave and stagger

[sage crane]

So you can only Earn Blessings from Blue items? if you upgraded to Purple or Gold, you can't earn the blessings anymore?

[void forge]

What would give you that impression?

[sage crane]

cause i just did it in the game

[void forge]

Well you can earn blessings from any weapon, so you probably already own that blessing

[sage crane]

see how the Earn blessing is greyed out?

i don't have those blessings

[quick remnant]

Is it a weapon that is on one of your build ?

[void forge]

Is it equipped

[sage crane]

not currently equipped

still greyed out

do i haev to take it off from other guilds in the Talent?

builds*

[quick remnant]

Maybe ?

[void forge]

Not sure, check all your loadouts

[sinful geyser]

just a % boost to all 3?

[stable summit]

@rigid sphinx I got an ogryn with a slab shield to hold aggro on a demonhost while I brainbursted

[void forge]

Afaik, yes

[sage crane]

yea still greyed out, i checked all loadouts and unequipped it

i'm surprised no one knows about this?

that's why i dont think you can earn blessing once u upgraded it to Gold

but im asking here just to make sure

[void forge]

You definitely can

So I don't know what's wrong with your sword

[sage crane]

all the gold weapons that i got from Missions , those can have Earn blessings

just not the ones i upgraded to Gold

[void forge]

Well I've upgraded hundreds of weapons and never encountered this

[sage crane]

well can u try to upgrade one right now?

[quick remnant]

I'll try

[void forge]

No I'm at work

[quick remnant]

But I'm 99% it's possible

[void forge]

When you hover over earn blessing, does it say anything?

[sage crane]

no

it just greyed out

[quick remnant]

New weapon

[sage crane]

ok

[quick remnant]

Can earn it in blue

[sage crane]

yea u can earn when it's blue

butt not when u upgraeded all the way to gold

[quick remnant]

Gold and still possible

[sage crane]

so why is mine greyed out?

[quick remnant]

Dunno

Are other weapon which are yellow greyed out ?

[sage crane]

some

[quick remnant]

Have you tried switching 1 trait of a weapon ?

Or post about it in the Forum, may be a bug

[sage crane]

i dont have any earn blessings yet

can't switch

[void forge]

Hm

Is the character lvl30?

[sage crane]

yes

[void forge]

Yeah I don't know, I would make a post on the fatshark tech support forum

[sage crane]

if it's a bug, most ppl would know by now

[void forge]

Well you would think

But if it's a very rare case

Maybe not

And I have never encountered this problem before

[sage crane]

yea i just realized

oh i think i know why

lol

[void forge]

Ah

What was the issue

[sage crane]

cause i was using the Favorite mod, so i set these weapons to be Favorite, means you can't destroy them

and earn blesseing will ddestroy

so that's why it didn't let me

[void forge]

Ah, if I had known you were using mods that would've been my first guess

[sage crane]

yea np, this was bothering me for a few days lol

but glad i figured it out

but thx for the help

[vital oxide]

I don't know if anyone can help me or not, but I've been having some major issues with lagging out in games. It only happens in the evenings when I play. I join a match and everything seems to be fine until either the first or second horde spawn where I lag out and disconnect. After that I can reconnect but I lag horribly. This started recently after that last couple of patches, at first I thought it was my ISP but I called and talk to them and they can't see anything wrong on their end plus when I play other games I don't have any lag/DC issues.

I've done some searching online, but haven't found anyone else having similar issues. I just want to play the game.

[warm nebula]

You might try connecting to o a different region. Also maybe there’s a firmware update for your computer’s network adapter?

It’s a long shot, and the smart money is just simply “fatshark servers lol”

[crimson matrix]

play button is greyd out, dont know how to fix it

cant play muh 40k game. servers in maintenance or smth?

[vocal nacelle]

update your game?

feel like you clicked the play button too fast the game still verifying

[hallow surge]

broken or worth keeping? psyker chat is busy with other things

[fervent ridge]

It is good as is

Upgrade again

[cedar dune]

Guys when chat breaks, is it possible to fix it from ingame or do i have to restart

[fast laurel]

restart

[ruby delta]

@fluid flare hey sorry to bother but there is a minor bug I have encountered

In a mission, can't communicate with the team. Can make call outs and place markers tho, like the waypoint and the caution one

[fluid flare]

can't help you with that, check #🎒support-issues

[ruby delta]

Ah thank you!

[rigid wasp]

What's the Maelstrom mission exactly?

[vocal nacelle]

unique modifier mission

[weak raft]

THANK YOU now the newbies won’t force me to pull my hair out

[jovial gyro]

Why did a damnation difficulty team point to 2 demonhost and kill them? They want some achievement?

[fervent ridge]

haha awesome

[warm nebula]

Heretics must be purged

They count as Monstrosities for the weekly quest

[storm laurel]

did they forget to add the new weapons to the armory

[whole thorn]

[quick remnant]

No #darktide-pics-vids message

[jovial gyro]

What do we do when gunner shoots down our toughness, we are slowed down by their constant bullets, cant sprint, only got 2 seconds to live?

[void forge]

You can avoid being caught in that situation in the first place

Once you're in it, not much you can do unless your ability is up

[storm glen]

When whites are sold at the shop, are they always around 370-380?

[coral violet]

crabwalk with side dodges to the nearest cover

suppress the gunner with whatever range weapon you have

or perish

[storm laurel]

no

at max level they can range from 300 - 380

[storm glen]

😦 well that kinda sucks

[storm laurel]

yeah it really does

minimum at max level should be 360

[waxen kindle]

Anyone can help me with Malleus Monstronum penance?

[limpid walrus]

Fellas, what should i go for on the new revolver? Hand Cannon with Crucian Roulette?

[coral violet]

what class?

[limpid walrus]

Psyker

[quick remnant]

Psyker already has quite good crit chances, I'd take Hand Cannon

[sage crane]

What is Smite gibbing?

just try to understand this in the patch notes

"Fixed so that Psyker Blitz ability "Smite" always attacks the centre mass hit zone (torso) and now only the gibbing is randomised instead."

[signal apex]

Gibbing

Yknow

Body parts coming off

Exploding upper body for that blood mist

Usually smite just explodes the body in red mist now its randomized is what they're saying

@sage crane

[sage crane]

so this Fix makes Smite better ?

[glass scaffold]

By the sounds of it, Smite was randomly hitting torso, head, arms, legs etc, but now theyve made it how it used to be and ONLY hits the torso. meaning, it doesnt proc all your Crit chance boosts anymore.
So, more consistent damage since its no longer hitting arms and legs and doing vastly reduced damage, but also no more weakspot/crit bonuses, like the True Aim node.

Reading the notes now. They did the same with the Surge Staff, so thats fun.

"Fix for Ogryn “Bring the Hurt” penance not progressing while using the “Bombs Away” talent."
OMG thank you! spent near a week trying to get that done only to find it was bugged. gadahm

[main notch]

question: I have 118.48% flak penetration, do I do only 100% damage or 118.48% damage? ie over penetrant good or pointless?

[gritty umbra]

hey, I have an issue where I can only use special attack on melee weapon if I'm holding block button

anyone else's having that since the last update?

[hard goblet]

The penetration stat affects how much of the damage number you would deal to flak is actually applied. So if you would have dealt 100 damage to a flak hit, you would actually deal 118.48% of 100 instead.

Stats like stopping power and others have this effect.

And are major contributors of damage, even more so than the base damage stat bar.

[main notch]

so "over pen" is way worth it

[gentle isle]

did the update reset melk's store? this morning i saw a snub pistol with lvl 4 blessing with rending and 17 hours till reset. looked this evening weapon gone. i didn't have enough monies 😦

and i counted 17 hours did not pass

it's not a huge deal i'll keep grinding 😄

just a bit dissapointed

[autumn fjord]

I'm trying to play Zealot with an eviscerator, and I am trying to use it's special ability. But it doesn't function -except- when I am blocking, I don't know if this is individual or unique, but it worked perfect previously.

[gentle isle]

definetly a bug

[autumn fjord]

Yeah, as I can use the 'torch' on lasguns and auto-guns, but I cannot bash nor use any -other- special ability.

[gentle isle]

someone else had the same problem

above

[smoky swallow]

a good burner would help with the "kill 40 stunned things in 10 secs" zealot penance yeah?

[signal apex]

Mmm

Nah

Use the bolter

It pierces through hordes like crazy

@smoky swallow

[smoky swallow]

hm, I see

the plan goes something like this:

high intensity whatever
wait for horde
toss two stuns, maybe three
open up with flamer (or,in this case, bolter)

sounds doable

[signal apex]

Do bolter

Takes a bit o time to purge heretics with flames

[keen scaffold]

hello, what does this do exactly?

on a columnus mkv

[signal apex]

Continues fire

Meaning keep firing but only your 3rd and 4th shot gets the damage boost

[keen scaffold]

hmmm

[autumn fjord]

I was working on the kill 40 things in ten seconds today. The flamer makes me pull my hair out.

[keen scaffold]

that gun shoots super fast, but i have a feeling that this is a lil underwelming

[autumn fjord]

So I will try bolter.

[signal apex]

Yes

[open ether]

What does the little magnifying glass icon over this blessing mean?

[signal apex]

Bolt them heretics

[keen scaffold]

kantrael mk IX has entered the chat

[signal apex]

I've never noticed the magnifying glass actually

[autumn fjord]

Is the Kantrael good?

[open ether]

its only on some of the blessings when im browsing the shop

[keen scaffold]

this is like the first time i talk to people that also play the game, so i have no idea what is good or not lol

[signal apex]

Ok

[autumn fjord]

I've just been trying to get that fucking penance, and fuck i hate it.

[keen scaffold]

is this 378 modifier any good?

[signal apex]

Yes

Well

[keen scaffold]

that is a high roll right?

[autumn fjord]

The max is 380 I believe.

[keen scaffold]

380? damn

[signal apex]

Well

380 as a rating for a white weapon

[warm nebula]

You have not earned that blessing yet

[keen scaffold]

wait so this gun i have is pretty much BIS?

or kinda?

[open ether]

Thanks, great to know for when im collecting them

[signal apex]

Even then if you roll a 380 but add all the stats up its much higher than 380

[signal apex]

Good stuff good stuff

[keen scaffold]

i love this thing, it mows down anything

[warm nebula]

Hey if it works, keep running it

[open ether]

Another question, are blessings universal between weapon types, like can I use a blessing a got from one kind of laspistol and use it for another or do I gotta keep collecting from the exact same type of laspistol?

[warm nebula]

Both laspistols should be in the same “weapon family”

[signal apex]

Yea

[warm nebula]

I say “should” because… well…

[signal apex]

As long as the weapon is the same type of gun (for example a kantreal and columnus bracegun) then you can use the blessing you got from the other to put it in another weapon mark

There's a few exceptions tho

[warm nebula]

It gets tricky when you start talking about autoguns, yeah

[signal apex]

Which are the staffs if you're playing pysker

[keen scaffold]

are columnus and agripinaa both on same family?

[signal apex]

If both marks are a braced autogun then yea

[warm nebula]

Columnus brauto and agrip brauto are both “braced autoguns” ye

[signal apex]

If its a braced auto and an infantry then no

It has to be in the same family type

Infantry with infantry, braced with braced

Same with the weapons

[hard goblet]

A salvo is measured based on when weapon recoil begins to when it resets.

[warm nebula]

The tricky part is, there’s a columnus IAG and a columnus brauto

[signal apex]

Axes for Axes (idk bout chain Axes tbh)

But

There's one weapon family that doesn't get the same treatment as the rest

[open ether]

are chain weapons their own catagory? or is it all split between 1 handed and 2 handed?

[signal apex]

Which are pysker staffs if you're a pysker

Which piss the living hEL out of me

[warm nebula]

Chainaxes are their own family, and separate from chainswords, which are separate from eviscerators

[signal apex]

I'm really not sure on that part but it should

Oh nvm then

[warm nebula]

I hear ya, but Trauma staves aren’t Surge staves, and they’re also different from Purg staves

[signal apex]

I know mane

But it doesn't make sense that they're all staffs with the same blessings

[keen scaffold]

so i need to fire in bursts basically

[signal apex]

Why can't I REBLESS THE BLESSING I WANT TO MY VOID

[warm nebula]

Yeah, same blessing, but for some unfathomable reason it doesn’t count cough grind more cough

[hard goblet]

If you want to benefit from that blessing, yes.

[keen scaffold]

gotcha

[signal apex]

Be quiet

[hard goblet]

That particular blessing typically isn't very good due to the extremely marginal boost.

[signal apex]

How about you help me with the ogryn redacted penances

[keen scaffold]

i really want to do the sub 20 minutes mission

with above 75% hp

[autumn fjord]

Dude, the Zealot penance where you have to be in a solo game on heresy and under twenty minutes and in 25% health

Sounds like a fucking nightmare.

[signal apex]

Oh please

[open ether]

Does this blessing mean I get 80 percent more damage when I get a headshot or is a "critical" weak spot hit a different thing?

[signal apex]

The last one was waaaay easier

Like

8 times much easier

[autumn fjord]

I know, but the fucking cosmetic is so cool.

[warm nebula]

1. weak spot hits have a chance to additionally be critical hits
2. that’s +80% of (the difference between a critical weak spot hit and a normal hit) not +80% of (the difference between a critical weak spot hit and 0)

[keen scaffold]

does it have to be solo?

the vanilla game only lets you duo minimum

i think?

[autumn fjord]

I meant in a solo-game. Which means a private lobby

[signal apex]

Yea

You cant really do solo bubba

You need another player in your strike team to make a private lobby

[desert trench]

hey fellas just got the game only LVL 6 looking for some ppl to group up with

[waxen holly]

Can you kill the Karnack guys? They keep running at lowhp, also do you get anything for chasing them off?

[warm nebula]

From what I have heard, probably not, and probably not

[waxen holly]

=/

[hard goblet]

This means that when you deal critical hit damage to a weak spot, the amount of damage that the crit (not the base damage) provides is boosted by 80%.

Critical weakspot damage does not mean your final damage total is increased by %.

The additional damage of the crit separate from the base damage is boosted.

[hard goblet]

They are not killable yet. And no.

[vital crown]

hello, can i ask for help with the warp battery penance?

[azure siren]

Hey, what's a good place to find which blessings are good for which weapons?

[hard goblet]

The various class chats such as #veteran-class , #zealot-class , #psyker-class etc.

[azure siren]

Thanks!

[scenic field]

Does the Born Leader talent in the Veteran tree only count the missing toughness you actually replenish as "replenished toughness", or even if you are at full toughness, Born Leader gives your allies 15% of what you would have replenished had your toughness not been already full?

[hard goblet]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1046912126746374274/1181729930158030848/image.png?ex=65821ec2&is=656fa9c2&hm=8c7d484c1d2c24daef59896172c3b60412f8f4392fdb69a3d96d13acb9094a27&
This one right?

[scenic field]

Yes

[hard goblet]

It's only providing for toughness that you replenish, as far as I know. Toughness replenishment being defined by Fatshark as toughness earned from non-coherency regen sources.

Since it doesn't say "would Replenish", I'd take that to mean it only provides 15% of toughness you gain if you had less than max toughness first.

You had to have taken toughness damage in order for toughness to be replenished from kills in the first place.

[scenic field]

Ah, I was hoping that was not the case. Unfortunate.

[hard goblet]

Yeah, it's not a very good pick.

Particularly with the other talents its competing with.

[scenic field]

Sounds like you'd have to be playing melee and be taking a lot of toughness damage to really get any value out of this. Sounds incredible on zealot lol.

[vernal plaza]

They mentioned a fix in the patch notes that gives toughness while youre on max toughness
Then again 15% off your toughness regen is a joke

[hard goblet]

Oh I must have missed that line when reading over it. Well, that's half the problem solved I guess.

[scenic field]

Oh nice, it seems like you would have to make a whole build around it though. You couldn't just slap it on and get good value.

[grave ocean]

The emperor just gave me his own Chainsword

Absolute veteran gaming right now

[hard goblet]

Windows Key + Shift + S, if you're on PC will let you copy and paste screenshots.

[vernal plaza]

Nah its just small numbers when you put numbers in
One melee kill from 200 toughness vet means 200 x 5% x 15% = 1.5 teammate toughness

[azure siren]

Is talking to melk after a mission crashing anyone else's game?

[scenic field]

I think I might try it. Taking many toughness replenishment talents, a weapon with gloryhunter, and voice of command. Maybe it could at least be funny.

[scenic field]

I had been talking to him just fine for awhile and that just happened. I had just talked to him, doubled back because I forgot something, and the game crashed after I initialized conversation.

[hard goblet]

I've had it happen on and off.

[onyx knot]

does this work with the fanning shot of the new revolver?

[hard goblet]

Haven't been able to check, but I would assume so. Weapon special actions still follow the same rules with being subject to recoil/sway etc.

[still helm]

Does sprint efficiency stack additively on curios?

[vocal nacelle]

yes

[vocal nacelle]

only damage resistance stack multiplicative

the rest is additive (i think)

[woeful root]

no

block eff is multiplicative

and a few other things

corruption res is multiplicative as well

[vocal nacelle]

well rip

guess FS doesnt want the 90% BCR from Vt2

[vernal plaza]

Stamina regen? 👀

[woeful root]

i never tested that but my expectation is that it'd be additive stacking

[strange zephyr]

is anyone else able to use the Armory Exchange website? My characters arn't loading in anymore https://accounts.atoma.cloud/dashboard

[autumn fjord]

How do I scream, respectfully of course, to the devs to please fix my bug of being unable to rev my chainsword up without blocking.

[strange zephyr]

Or did the update break it for everyone temporily?

[autumn fjord]

I don't know, but I do know that I can't activate my special abilities without blocking, and on guns it's useless. -UNLESS- for some reasons it's a lazgun's torch.

[deep heath]

Just ran into the same issue. TF is going on with that.

[rigid wasp]

Yes, it was fixed in the latest patch

Oh, it was already said

Get pinged

[main notch]

weapon say somewhere 118.3% damage to flak and has a perk that say 25% more damage to flak; is that 143.3% damage or 147.875%(118.3 * 125%) to flak?

[woeful root]

latter

just a multiplicative bonus to that particular armour type

[main notch]

so better at higher % damage but worst on lower %, got it

[west tartan]

I been messing around with Headhunter Autoguns, am I crazy or when you crit using the Mk9 and with the Surgical blessing your second shot always crits or is tremendous luck? I tried it 20 times and got crits on both shots each time.

[vocal nacelle]

there's crit string, the both shot probably count as 1 crit altogether

[west tartan]

That's kinda neat, too bad their maniac damage is god awful though. Getting multiple headshots against a pack of ragers is quite a challenge.

[uncut wagon]

Why am i only getting hitmarkers for melee weapons, and shooting friendlies?

[hard goblet]

Are you using the weapon customization mod?

[uncut wagon]

Yes, another thing to note, hitmarkers dont show up ONLY while ADS'ed

[hard goblet]

Yeah go into your mod options

And go down to and enable the crosshair again.

It's turned off by default with the latest version.

[rigid wasp]

It's important to note that it has a setting that removes the crosshair and another that makes it an ironsight crosshair

Ironsight removes the crosshair and keeps the hitmarker, none removes the crosshair and the hitmarker

Ironsight is the default for pretty much every ADS weapon

[uncut wagon]

Okay, Turning that off fixed it, thank you

[tropic aspen]

Ok so what's the base item rating that you should start investing resources in at max level? Minimum 350? 360? For skill farming, I mean.

[west tartan]

@tropic aspen what do you mean? Like you want to farm blessings??

[tropic aspen]

Blessings, yeah.

[west tartan]

I have gotten tier IV blessings from base rating 310, I have seen them life being gotten from rating 302. It does not seem to affect the chance of getting higher tier blessings, is just that making a weapon blue has lower chances of giving you tier IV than III.

[tropic aspen]

Makes sense.

[hard goblet]

I preferred 360+ base rating weapons, but that was also because I was hunting for a weapon I could use at the same time.

[tropic aspen]

Yeah, been doing that as well.

[hard goblet]

I'm not sure about the range of base rating affecting the chances of tier 4 blessings myself.

[tropic aspen]

Are either of the twins actually killable? Or are they just surprise hazards?

[fervent ridge]

Twins will retreat at 25% HP

It is not currently possible to kill them even with maxrolled thammer

They spawn in with 70k HP

[fair isle]

ayo wtf why isn't the fanning automatic

[rigid wasp]

Trust me, you don't want it to be automatic

It can fire too fast to not shoot twice with a click

Though, of course, we can uhhhh macro it with the full auto mod

[fair isle]

doing it rn

like literally just istalled the mod

[fair isle]

oh damn, i get the fanning revolver not having plasma bullets like the BIG IRON

but still, 1 enemy max cleave is kinda rough

[fervent ridge]

It feels like the ohshitohfuck kinda gun you insta whip out to address a trapper/flamer/bomber/mutant in melee range

The fan will guarantee you kill it if you point the gun in its general direction

[signal apex]

Can it quickly kill a crusher

Roger perhaps

[fair isle]

i don't think that's it, cause after you get used to the normal one you can do so with a normal revolver

[signal apex]

RAGER

[fair isle]

i mean, probably even quicker and with only one bullet

it's more of a rager-mutant or a firing squad ohshitohfuck type of gun

but still like

no piercing makes it feel worse in most scenarios

only scenario it is better tho is against fire squads with executioner stance, you can go like for a whole minute without it going down due to the reload speed

well there's the possibility that i'm just that used to the overpowered state of the regular revolver, requires more analysis tho

[tropic aspen]

Thank you!

[cedar dune]

I can with full confidence say we did NOT die 75 times this run xD how is this calculated? whos deaths are these lol

Im not a chainaxe expert but i'd go test it against flak enemies in the meat grinder to see if that perk feels necessary. I don't think bloodletter is a good blessing however

[shy copper]

Are auric mission just more difficult, or do they also provide better drops?

[still helm]

Using the new revolver makes you feel cooler

[fervent ridge]

only harder

Realistically much less drops

you split you die

No time to go plasteel hunting

go do it in low or normal damnation that's where the plasteel farming is

[still helm]

You can get more dockets from them but yeah, materials will be harder to gather

[fervent ridge]

Auric and maelstrom are only there for you to have fun / be challenged

[umbral plaza]

yoooo

i just got to read these

[fervent ridge]

It is bad

it is not what you think it means

I highly recommend stepping into fire in a game

It's worse than before

[umbral plaza]

your toughness doesnt instantly deplete no?

[fervent ridge]

yes but if it touches your health

you are dying in 1 second

[still helm]

You won't instantly lose your entire toughness bar upon touching fire, now you lose it all in three ticks and then you die

[fervent ridge]

like a literal 100-0

They reversed the formula

[umbral plaza]

what

the

hell

[fervent ridge]

From instant toughness loss to incremental health loss to incremental toughness but instant health explode

The old fire was better

[umbral plaza]

Honestly if i could just sprint while im in fire id be fine with whatever
its the getting stuck in a grenade pool
cant dodge out, cant sprint out, getting staggered every 2s while walking

[dusty marten]

Can you still get good weapon rolls by doing difficulties lower than damnation?

[fervent ridge]

No, your best bet is either damnation / rolling for high base greys from Brunts / lucky drops at hourly shop

or Sire Melks daily

[jovial gyro]

what are tactical axes good for? only hits 2 enemies, doesnt do lots of damage, short range. i want to use it but dont want to bring the team down

[fervent ridge]

Nothing

taxe has been powercrept by patch 11

That was 4 months ago

the only taxe users do it for nostalgia now

Everything it can do is done better by other melees for less effort

Until a major rework happens, it will be one of those weapons that fell through the cracks

like the zealot crusher used to be until it got gigabuffed

[keen scaffold]

this any good or base stats too low?

[scarlet fjord]

keeper

till you get anything better this is 100% usable

[keen scaffold]

these 2 are my main ranged weapons

[scarlet fjord]

preferably mobility dump stat but this is a great revolver

[keen scaffold]

still worth getting?

[scarlet fjord]

might as well to try it

see if you like it or not

its about as good as its gonna get without gambling billions away to hadron

[keen scaffold]

true

WAIT

theres a new eviscerator

[scarlet fjord]

worst case scenario, you dont like it. simple as that

yea, heard mixed reviews but all in all it seems to be fine in t5

[keen scaffold]

very true

i have this one right now

its my favorite melee

together with this lil guy

these are my 2 favorite melees

[scarlet fjord]

would recommend trying out new chain axes if you havent (reworked OG and new one, both have very potent heavy special attacks)

[keen scaffold]

is it like the eviscerator?

good to lock and chew big guys?

[scarlet fjord]

pretty much

[keen scaffold]

hmm

[scarlet fjord]

usable against a horde (not the best but its ok), will delete elites and specials

[keen scaffold]

could pair nicely with the shotgun

since it FOKS hordes

[scarlet fjord]

buy a shit one and try it in the psykanium, frankly as long as damage stat isnt miserable you should have a good refrence for damage without needing a godroll

[keen scaffold]

ok gonna do that

watch me get a 380 white weapon

see told ya

god roll!

wait a second, this new one, the light attacks are swipe attacks and hold at the mash down

this is VERY interesting

[scarlet fjord]

penetration is shit but in the psykanium you can watch the health, assume that if youre pretty close to killing an elite or special with it then a higher pen would probably push you over

[keen scaffold]

i like this because you can be more precise

with the chain hit

which of hte 2 sapper shovel (vet) is the foldable one?

[frosty wing]

why have reduce the amount of people u can block???????

[true gust]

Both of them are the folding shovel, they have two different attack patterns

[warm nebula]

You mean, have a maximum number of blocked player accounts? If so, I agree it’s bad

[signal apex]

and which do you think is superior

[true gust]

They both have their uses, but if I remember right, I liked the Mk7 better

Mostly since it's something different than the standard vet shovel

Yes they now apply to the fire damage proper

[little coyote]

oh nice, might actually invest in a couple then

[craggy minnow]

with how fire was changed they're good value now i think

[hard goblet]

There was a video someone posted in vet chat testing 3 curios with the tier 3 bomber resist.

[craggy minnow]

i might take it over gunner resistance on vet and psyker

[hard goblet]

It increased survival time in fire from 1.48 seconds to 2.13 if I remember correctly.

With how bugged fire damage is right now, it's not worth it.

[rich jackal]

question:
what does Enhanced Blitz modifier actually do?

[void forge]

Gives you more grenades(higher max count)

[rich jackal]

what about on the psyker?

[void forge]

No effect except assail

[rich jackal]

then what does it do to assail?

[void forge]

The same, higher max count

Apparently it does reduce peril use of the other psyker blitz, but this may actually be a bad thing for some

[dense tulip]

for brain burst, it reduces the charge time and peril accumulation iirc, and it gives everyone who has any kind of throwables exactly 2 more grenades

Which is a bit silly

[void forge]

Does it also affect charge time? I haven't noticed this.

[dense tulip]

I don't know if they fixed it in newest patch, but I remember that prior for Assail you couldn't regain those extra 2 shards

[dense tulip]

well, I remember reading about it, so can't quite confirm

[void forge]

Yeah all the sources I see only mention peril cost, looks like there is some testing to be done

[rigid wasp]

Always

People say u need to play mission or 2 to the shaders time to fill up and then u good to go but it still have drops but not like the beginning of the game

[feral gust]

What's the diff between a green-hue and red-hue enemy?
(I don't mean ogryn-shout)

[void forge]

Green enemies are nurgle blessed, they have increased damage res and almost immune to stagger. Not sure what you mean by red hued enemies if you're not referring to ogryn taunt

[warm nebula]

Plain pinged enemies could be considered “red-hue”. They have a little skull symbol floating above them. It’s simply “hey this thing is here, you might want to shoot it”

Vet’s keystone super-ping is yellow, and the skull symbol looks slightly different

[void forge]

Yeah I just assumed he wasn't referring to pinged enemies cause that's obvious but I suppose it could be that

[still helm]

Are groaners or poxwalkers more common?

[warm nebula]

No idea ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Probably each map might have a small difference in one type or the other… but I haven’t noticed a surplus of either type

[frigid vessel]

Groaners and Poxwalkers are your cannon fodder hordes to say the least.

Don't let that fool you though, if you get overwhelmed they can destroy you.

[still helm]

I know that, it’s just the deciding factor of whether I should put unarmoured or infested damage on a weapon

As far as I know infested things generally take less damage than unarmoured though

[frigid vessel]

Poxwalkers and Groaners don't really need you to put damage bonuses on for them.

Maniacs, Carapace, Flak, and Infested are more important to worry about.

There's also bonus damage to Elites and Specialists.

Personally, I'd suggest min/maxing your perk choices between your weapons.

[still helm]

I’m using the mark v shovel on ogryn, it can take care of any big targets easily but the small enemy hordes are where it seems to struggle

[frigid vessel]

Do the heavies sweep?

[still helm]

Yeah

[frigid vessel]

Got it.

Abuse Ogryns Hyperarmor.

If you got cannon fodder hordes, throw heavies.

[still helm]

👍

[frigid vessel]

Ogryn hyperarmor also allows you to be quite a good support.

So make sure to go for the rez whenever.

I'd assume you're someone still getting used to Darktide?

And Ogryn as well

[still helm]

No, I was just unsure what to put on the shovel

[frigid vessel]

Ah.

[still helm]

Normally I use a gun-based build, and before the shovels I used the mk4 cleaver which felt much more straightforward

[frigid vessel]

Yeah the new shovels can be a bit tricky.

The Shovel head being at a 90° Angle allows for better Damage towards the Elites in Armor if you play your cards right.

[jovial gyro]

is critical hit bonuses from skill tree, weapon perks, weapon blessings additive? for example tactical axe base crit chance is 15%, +5% critical chance from weapon perk, total = 20% critical chance? i guess not many knows, ive asked a few times

[white island]

What the hel does this even mean, wouldnt you want to keep a "bonus"? The wording doesnt make sense to me.

[jovial gyro]

every enemy u melee hit blocks your weapon's ability to cut through them. this buff makes it so when you critical hit, you can hit more enemies

[white island]

Like how a crusher stops your cleave, this would make it whip right though him?

[jovial gyro]

even enemies without armor blocks your cleave, weapons can only cut through around 3 enemies , so even a big meaty boy is hard to cut through

[umbral plaza]

Lets say your weapons has 100 cleave
Dreg body - 30 hit mass
Dreg head - 30 + 20 (flak armour) hit mass
You can swing through 3 dreg bodies but only 2 heads

Removes the buff to the enemies hit mass, that they receive from their armour

[white island]

But does nothing to the actual unarmored hitmass? That seems garbage

[umbral plaza]

A lot of trash chaff enemies have flak armour on them

those random melee dudes with buckets on their heads

etc

definitely a more niche blessing for sure

[white island]

The Dreg Bruiser, yeah those fuckers are super annoying if you don't have good rending

[umbral plaza]

would probably be ok on a crit build for a zealot in aurics, wheres theres soooo many enemies you get more value from easier horde clear

but definitely blessings that do it better

i.e. more power on kill

[elfin lance]

Does that do anything for how the damage from cleaving is distributed? Like how sometimes the last target hit only takes partial.

[umbral plaza]

i imagine last target still only takes partial, but now more enemies receive a bulk of dmg

youd have to use the mosnter spawn mod + healthbar mod in the meat grinder and video record the numbers to count em

[elfin lance]

I like having the blessing to give a Chainsword around 200% cleave after a multihit, but I dunno how good it is.

[umbral plaza]

decent if you use it for hordeclear

[elfin lance]

It doesn’t do any more damage per hit, just helps you hit more targets?

[hoary plume]

Howdy gamers. I know the Ogryn Penance ”Bring the Hurt" was fixed this last patch so it would progress with Bombs Away! as well as Big Box of Hurt. Does anyone know if the Veteran Penance "Resupply Allies" was similarly fixed so it progresses with Survivalist as well as Scavenger?

You don't need to have Darktide running at all. The point of the web browser plugin is so you can check what Melk/the Armory exchange have without logging into Darktide.

Mission EXP payout is dependent on the difficulty level (Heresy, Damnation, etc.) and the mission modifiers (if there is one, the payout is higher).

So there isn't a meta.

[sour iron]

question regarding the marked for death penance, seem to be having trouble getting it. Coud've sworn i hit 4 poxwalkers in the head straight with the revolver but didn't get it... does it need to be the same weak spot, so like against a beast of nurgle or something? can you not miss at all during the volley fire activation or can you miss the first shot and get 4 straight and still get it? does it have to be 4 different enemies?

[drowsy path]

Does “block efficiency” affect pushing as well, or is it just how well you can take hits while blocking?

[drowsy path]

Do normal maelstroms. They give cracked levels of experience

Experience curios obviously

Since you’re theoretically good at the game you won’t need anything else for the perk slot.

But, Malice Maelstroms give more experience than a normal Damnation run.

If you think you have a Maelstrom that is too difficult to guarantee success, just look for Malice or Heresy missions with modifiers. Low intensity shock troop gauntlet jacks up the reward a ton without making it much more difficult at all

[drowsy path]

The wording might be a hint as to what you might be doing wrong, though I wouldn’t count on the game just being difficult with you.

If it has to do with getting consistent headshots, if you’re using the Revolver, you might be getting accidental penetration kills against another enemy with a bodyshot, which will null your attempt

[sour iron]

ahh. that might explain it yeah...

i'll try a different gun then

[drowsy path]

Yeah, a decent choice for this is Kantrael 12. Good sight, hard hitting, slow firing.

The new las pistol might be a good choice too

[sour iron]

i don't think i have access to the new las pistol yet, just lv16 on vet

[drowsy path]

Should be careful because some weapons aren’t obvious whether or not they have a very small degree of penetration. It’s most notable against Groaners due to the fact that they have literally 0 mass.

Therefore if any weapon has even .1 cleave, it will penetrate a Groaner to the enemy behind

[drowsy path]

Good luck though!

[sour iron]

thank you! i'll try another gun

[drowsy path]

Bump for this question tho.

[sour iron]

Sorry don't know the answer to that. But thanks for the tip earlier, had switched to the vraks 7 and got it the very next mission :p

[hollow phoenix]

tf does this mean

[stoic iron]

verify integrity of game files and see if that fixes it

[hollow phoenix]

Already on it

So I hope it does

[little coyote]

you probably somehow misplaced your darktide.exe

did you move your game folder by any chance

[hollow phoenix]

Nope haven’t done anything

Seems to be fixed

[shell nest]

so weapon mod customization is crashing. is there a new update of it somewhere I can download?

[stoic iron]

best bet would be the darktide modding discord linked in #📌communities

[shell nest]

gotcha

[round verge]

Once I hit 30 on my first character, how do I "ensure" I get high level gear? Will it just be automatic, or should I be rolling for stuff somewhere?

[half tendon]

What’s the difference between wounds and overall health? ,does more wounds equal more health or just the bigger number the better?

[fervent ridge]

Wound = life

Default life + (wound curios x 1) = max no. of lives

[quick remnant]

Wounds are the segment in your health, when you go down and get rezed you'll go back to the max life - 1 segment

[fervent ridge]

or segments in your healthbar

[half tendon]

Oh okay Thxs

[fervent ridge]

As to whether wound or health is better, it depends on what class you're playing

[half tendon]

My ogryn has 537 hp but with 4 wounds

[fervent ridge]

And then after that more specifically what playstyle and ur skill level and teammate competence

Yea ogryn is the class that benefits the most from health curios

You ideally run 3x Health

Because you have a titanic amount of toughness regen and resist, plus 1 more wound than all other classes in damnation

So pumping health lets you have a lot more agency

[half tendon]

[tribal drum]

Guys I started the game to run around with friends as the Death Korps of Krieg. How do I do that?(I started yesterday)

[quick remnant]

Krieg cosmetics aren't available atm, they were in the Prem shop

[tribal drum]

Oh sad

Okay how do I find a squat of new players?

[quick remnant]

#vox-lfg-lexicanum, pick the one that is the closest for you for Ping

[vocal dagger]

Any general gameplay tips for being a support zealot?

[remote compass]

1. Kill good
2. ???
3. Profit!

[mighty ibex]

Get the Crit proc lower ability cooldown, get chorus ability and the fury keystone. Knife as a melee or little axe for melee. Make sure to grab holy rev as well. Can't help when you're dead. 2 +3 Stamina curious and 1 Wound curio since your goal should be "not dying" and focus toughness regen and ally revive speed for your curios.

Anytime you hear a buster about to burst, a flamer about to flamer or a disabled about to Christopher reeve someone. Pop chorus. That and generally keeping an eye out for groups of armor.

[willow vapor]

Does a blessing lock the moment you re-do a weapons perks?

how do they lock in general?

[quick remnant]

Weapon get locks when you change 2 different slots

[willow vapor]

Can you improve the level of your blessing or is that RNG?

[hard goblet]

The tier of blessing you get is mostly random.

After you get to level 30 and therefore start seeing the highest possible max range of base ratings for items, you will also no longer get tier 2 or lower blessings upon consecrating a weapon.

Assuming you're consecrating a high base rating weapon.

[runic loom]

How do I flamethrow good? It feels like I'm doing 0 damage but getting decent stagger

[red cove]

any help? Im not sure what to change after this, i change and put damagevs flak/carapace or change blessing.for my crit zealot

[onyx cargo]

anybody know what Impact actually does? (ex. Hammerblow)

[rigid wasp]

Stagger strength

[vocal nacelle]

might as well use shred

unyielding to flak

[vocal nacelle]

give more stagger , can "stun" the enemies flinch /knocked back depends on the weapon

[weak raft]

Dump stat for Shotguns?

Lawbringer specifically

[warped flint]

What are the different stim colors?

[signal apex]

green, blue, red, orange

[vocal nacelle]

Is there any mobility stat if yes thats the dump stat

[vocal nacelle]

Banana juice and tomato juice best one

[shadow latch]

very new to the game, can someone explain why these have such a massive difference in heavy attack? I realize that they are Mk1 and Mk4 but none of the other values are difference by nearly that much

[vocal nacelle]

different mark

if you inspect the weapon

and pull out the moveset table you can see the weapon swing type

example of irom helm third heavy attack is strikedown

[shadow latch]

ah i see thank you

i hadn't even noticed the attack pattern menu

[vocal nacelle]

[rigid wasp]

was playing a game and found this thing called a cerelyn (?) stim... what does it do?

died with it and couldn't use it mb

[vocal nacelle]

Kinda, damnation almost 100% encounter

[fast laurel]

It lasts 15 seconds, and it gives you 15% increase to reload speed, -25% reduction for stamina cost for pushing, blocking and -50% for sprinting. And -33% reduction to peril generation.

[rigid wasp]

i see

[dreamy wedge]

What's the quickest un/ethical way to grind one character from trust 1 to 30 as a party of 4 with the other three at 30 (ie disregarding things like "load solo into auric maelstrom with randoms, pray to get carried and ruin their game")

[fast laurel]

Have your level 30 party members queue regular Damnation

Can also try bringing you to Auric for more exp, if you can hold your own. But not necessarily do damage since your weapons are most likely shit

And you don't have your full talent points to spend. Oh and don't forget to do quickplay for better exp and docket bonuses

[delicate warren]

Speedrunning matches.

Do auric speedruns at 15 minute per match.

Wirh good enough pace you should be able to reach level 30 in about 3 hours from level 1

[vocal nacelle]

depends on your skill tbh

[fickle imp]

Anyone know if it's possible to change sensitivity in the game config files

[keen scaffold]

this increases damage from the grenades itself right?

[hard goblet]

It decreases the damage you take from the fire the bomber's grenades create.

[keen scaffold]

seems like is a good perk then

[hard goblet]

On paper. Currently though it increases your survival time from roughly 1.5 seconds to 2.

[keen scaffold]

mine came with pox hound resistance

[hard goblet]

Not really worth it with how bombers currently function.

[keen scaffold]

i cant remember the last time a pox hound got me

hmm

toughness regen?

[hard goblet]

What class is this curio for?

[keen scaffold]

zealot

these are the other 2 i have

or this toughness one

[rigid wasp]

wounds for zealot
Wow

[keen scaffold]

yeah for martyr build

i dont have to be 1 hp to get max stacks

[shrewd mountain]

Ogryns is Unyielding and Carapace simultaneously? (Crashers, for example)

[fast laurel]

Crushers is full carapace

Reapers and Bulwark's flesh is Unyielding. With a combination of Flak and Carapace armor bits.

[shrewd mountain]

Also bosses?

[fast laurel]

Monstrosities that arent the Scab Captain and Karnak Twins are all Unyielding. Chaos Spawn in particular has a small Carapace bit iirc above their head

Scab Captain is Flak, Karnak Twins is Carapace

[quick remnant]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/enemies

[tight rover]

Toughness regen sounds good but in my experience generally provides little value. gunner damage resist is pretty good due to how many there are and how far they can hit you. Other good options are something like stam regen or corruption resist if you feel you need it.

[drowsy path]

I feel like this is wrong. A high hp boss in full Carapace? Especially with how in my games they get melted instantly sometimes

Though there’s a lot of builds out there with brittleness atm

[fast laurel]

I'm guessing there might be a hidden extra damage modifier that you do against the twins

And a lot of weapons can reliably be made to 2-1 shot crushers

[candid sparrow]

is catachan 3 better vs hordes than duelling swords?

[serene stone]

Isn't it just the head that's carapace for the Karnaks?

[craggy minnow]

All the devils claws are better horde clearers than all the dueling swords

[candid sparrow]

ye but they cant one hit muties, right?

[half tendon]

Is the new combat knife good?

[craggy minnow]

Probably not, maybe a mk4 with the right build

Dueling sword is a specialized elite and special killer

[edgy jetty]

Dueling swords are best for single targets, so if you stab a mutie in the face/head that's usually a one shot or low enough health to kill with the followup swing

[craggy minnow]

I typically bring something else for hordes like a purgatus when i play dueling sword

[edgy jetty]

Catachan swords are best for hordeclear but are versatile enough to work on elites/specials in a pinch

[craggy minnow]

The important thing about dueling sword is it has a cleave of 2 on the light attacks and i think heavy as well

I think devils claws have a base of like 6 or 7

[shell nest]

how good is this for knife?

[craggy minnow]

Uh... hmm

The total modifiers are low but the distribution is very good, i think flak maniac are the perks you want on knofe

[shell nest]

first target isnt that important?

[craggy minnow]

The blessing while being rank 1 doesn't scale that much and you mostly care about it being present at all for zealot

[shell nest]

usually for knife I want to get perks on melee crit damage and crit chance

[craggy minnow]

As i understand first target, which may be wrong, it only modifies attacks that hit more than one target, which your heavies dont ever do

Light attacking hordes with a knife is a desperate maneuver generally they're not really meant for it

The armor type damage perks are just too good tbh i can't imagine trading them for 4%crit or 10%crit damage

[karmic iris]

Heyo, how do I, a Steam user, add a friend on Gamepass to my Strike Team so we can play together?

[craggy minnow]

In the social menu one player can get a "fatshark friend code" which the other player can enter in their social menu

[karmic iris]

You're a star, thank you

[shell nest]

light attacks are not good? I usually only use light attack and the push attack. I rarely heavy attack. also I use psyker with this

[craggy minnow]

The point of knife is to heavy attack everything but zombies in the head

Compare fighting a horde with a knife to doing it with a devils claw or an eviscerator

[shell nest]

really? seems too slow. ive been doing well without much heavy attacks

[craggy minnow]

What difficulty are you playing

[shell nest]

damnation+

[craggy minnow]

[shell nest]

maybe it does well with zealot for that cause of attack speed buffs

[craggy minnow]

Your light attack has shit armor pen you're doing all your damage from bleed probably

[shell nest]

yeah but I dont really engage against armored with knife

[craggy minnow]

So you're using knife as a horde clear weapon... in damnation+...

[shell nest]

with assail yea

[craggy minnow]

Assail knife psyker light attacker in damnation plus... do you have a scoreboard

Assuming you're not trolling have you tried the other weapons??

[shell nest]

ingame right now lemme find it

[half tendon]

Is the new knife good (the one they made for clearing hordes better)

[shell nest]

yep. for my gunpsyker I use knife cause of the movement speed. anyways heres one game just finished today

[craggy minnow]

oh you're gunning that explains a lot

[shell nest]

I honestly dont use knife most of the time. its just for movement, pushing, and blocking

if I really want to melee, id use the sabers or the deimos IV

[craggy minnow]

yeah there's legitimately no reason to use the og combat knife on psyker

its the dueling sword v but worse in every way

well for running fast like you said

[shell nest]

yeah. but at least with that I can circle around crushers or maulers at least. it helps alot

[craggy minnow]

i do a gun psyker build but i use it to make the dueling sword 4 insanely strong lol

[shell nest]

im used to it for giving me space

[craggy minnow]

purg for ranged to kill walkers

[shell nest]

if only dueling sword give that movement speed boost. id use it over this tho.

[craggy minnow]

i learned the game on launch zealot so my instinct on seeing foes shooting or charging me is to sprint and slide into melee no matter what class i play lol

[shell nest]

ahh makes sense

i keep cycling between blitz and range

[craggy minnow]

if you ever use knife for killing on a zealot or something use the heavy attack though

you only have to charge for a fraction of a second and it one hits gunners and stuff

[shell nest]

yeah havent played zealot much.

makes me want to do melee only run with em

[shell nest]

havent found a good one yet. feels pretty samey. but am psyker. maybe would be good with other classes

[simple ferry]

whats the best way to get frenzied killer 3 ?

[coral violet]

PC power sword / heavy sword crit zealot / purgatus psyker hi int horde on heresy+

[lone adder]

Trying to complete beat them up penace, but I need one more investigation mission. Whats the other investigation mission we have aside from the Nurgle tree one?

[coral violet]

its just hab dreyko iirc

[lone adder]

It says its 1/2

Implying somehow there's a second investigation mission

Which is weird

[autumn fjord]

Okay, I'm gonna come right out and in front of the God-Emperor and all you Varlots. I had been complaining about my Chainswords ability to rev not working, except while blocking. I had figured out that my Razor Naga's fucking customizable side-backing, the one that had twelve buttons. Is faulty, it's not working on the game. I swapped it out for a standard two button side-plate. It works perfect. 2000% on user end, and I am stupid.

[craggy minnow]

like a game specific driver error? lol

insane that it worked while you were holding RMB

[autumn fjord]

I have no idea.

I have played three games, worked -perfect.

[keen scaffold]

is this good with the shredder grenade? i assume it just gives x2 the bleed stacks?

[prisma pilot]

does anyone know what graphics setting controls the quality of the bomber fire?
I lose like 50%+ of my FPS as soon as I look at bomber fire and nothing else causes it
it's super annoying and I need to turn it down or something, idk how to fix it

[craggy minnow]

the second grenade has a random trajectory so it covers more AOE

[half tendon]

Is stealth zealot good?

[vocal nacelle]

"kinda"

you can be support using stealth to res teammate or high monster dmg if you use thunder hammer

[keen scaffold]

this is kinda bad isnt it?

[craggy minnow]

Yeah unfortunately

[stoic iron]

it's a solid blessing on the new heavy evis since the only necessary one is rampage

lets you keep up a chain of 1 shotting crushers with uncharged heavy revs

very situational though

[autumn fjord]

I had a question, when you learn a blessing, is it forever and you can transfer it to other weapons, or is it kind of a one-one, where you learn it, and can transfer it, then it's unlearned?

[craggy minnow]

Its permanent for the weapon family

I learned uncanny strike once and applied it to a mk 4 and a mk 5 saber for instance

[vocal nacelle]

if you extract a blessing from infantry lasgun on vet you can put the extracted blessing on zealot infantry lasgun as long as the type is "infantry lasgun"
the only weird one is psyker staff, all staff have separate blessing pool

[devout snow]

Hey guys can I get some weapon help up in here?

[fervent ridge]

what weapon

[devout snow]

Devil's Claw Mk1. I'm struggling against Dreg enemies, especially Bruisers.

It also struggles more than it should against pox/groaner hordes.

[uneven estuary]

Ogryn shove taunt ability seems to not be working on Monstrosities including Daemon Host. Anyone else noticing this?

[opal quiver]

What are you using it on? A vet? The blessings you're using are kind of meh for horde clear. Impact just makes stagger effects greater.

[devout snow]

Psyker with Destiny.

[opal quiver]

Ehhh. Why not just use a Blaze Force?

Slaughterer eats through mobs.

[devout snow]

Parry is my rager/crusher/mauler insurance when they sneak up.

Nice horizontal sweeps, too.

[opal quiver]

I mean, you can continue to use it, but there are a lot of other things you can use in the psyker kit to deal with them. If you REALLY just like the Devil Claw, you're going to want to get some better blessings.

Impact is kind of trash.

[devout snow]

I've got a similar Ilisi to yours, and yeah, it way outperforms the Devil's Claw in all situations. But the poor stagger sometimes leaves me high and dry versus Ragers et al, so...

I'll try swapping out the blessings like you said. Don't have many unlocked for DC yet, but I'll get there.

[opal quiver]

Smite left click helps with that. You can also use a surge or voidstrike to knock them over.

Smite left click has a lot of stagger, whereas the right click does more damage.

It just kind of depends on what you're trying to build out towards.

Are you doing staff or gun psyker?

[devout snow]

Surge staff.

[opal quiver]

Yeah, just use your staff to deal with them, then. They fixed the targeting with it, so it is much more reliable.

[devout snow]

I'll take your word for it and go back to my Ilisi then.

[vocal nacelle]

i use mk4 duelling sword

[opal quiver]

If you find yourself running out of stamina, just grab some stam curios. The Blaze Force sword isn't as crazy as it used to be, but you can still shove the ragers down. The Mk IV can stagger maulers and crushers on heavy attack.

[vocal nacelle]

with shred and uncanny strike

can 1 shot mutant

and 2 shot crusher if lucky

[opal quiver]

Yeah, the dueling sword is great unless you get a big rush of them. You can easily tank Daemonhosts with it, though, hahah

[vocal nacelle]

something like this

on gunpsyker

[opal quiver]

Hell yis. I am enjoying that build with the las pistol.

[tranquil cypress]

how much does bleed to per tick

[vocal nacelle]

depends on what weapon

[tranquil cypress]

lets say slab shield
