[honest linden]

Not bad for hitting first lvl 30 lastnight and buying just those two swords above i guess, beginners luck with crafting RNG

[fast laurel]

I'd use the left one yea

[honest linden]

That deathblow ❤️ Often times would rush to like 4 gunners, 1 swing, and 4 of em standing there without heads for a second

[marble oar]

is there anyone that can help me with the hard mode version of the karnak twins? i don't have a friend group that can help me with it

[kind maple]

Is the Mk 6 heavy sword pretty good?

[fallow cedar]

Hello, i'm looking for a strike party who is willing to help me pass the twins in hardmode 🙂

[marble oar]

that makes two of us

[honest linden]

Well its the only Heavy Sword ive used, picked it only because got offered two with very good stats, so got no reference

"Worth mentioning that the other two marks arent bad either. The IX is definitely superior but yuo can easily make the other two marks work as long as you have headtaker III or IV. I'd take a super well statted VII over a badly statted IX, though a decent IX with a good headtaker and any other blessing will generally be the most effective option."

Quick reddit search https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/11wxwkm/which_heavy_sword_should_i_use/

[marble oar]

i can help you on malice rn if you'd want

[honest linden]

I really lucked out on stats and blessing on em, so cant complain, but ill keep eye on good IX certainly

[marble oar]

just hop into a vc here, i'll join you

if you want that is

alrighty

[dense tulip]

how much hp Karnak twins have on hard mode?

[tired harness]

anyone down to fight the twins on damnation ?

[prime blaze]

hard mode?

[tired harness]

Just normal

[prime blaze]

sry beat them on normal damnation already

[tired harness]

We can give hard mode a try I’ve only beat them once on hard mode

Got carried by some Ogryn bros

[prime blaze]

I've been trying in pubs for two days but no luck so far

[tired harness]

I’m in VC strike team 3 if you’re down to try hard mode

[prime blaze]

alright

[odd orbit]

what is the success rate of fishing for lvl 4 blessings with 370+ items? i upgraded more than 3 dozen and didnt got a single lvl 4.

[glass kayak]

hello could someone help me with the twins on damnation level ?

I know it has been said several times but I just cannot do it

[hard goblet]

It's entirely random. I spent over 300 hours trying to get tier 4 power cycler. Others got it in 3 weapons. You are more likely to get a tier 4 when consecrating to orange rather than blue though. I was vendoring anything below 360+ base weapon rating.

[hard goblet]

What's your class, loadout, and build?

[glass kayak]

zealot, eviscerator and bolt gun, went with like support build to replenish health and get rid of corruption tought it might help when things get bad but I would love some hints on different build cuz mine is obviously not working 😂 😅

[hard goblet]

In my experience, at least one Ogryn is extremely helpful either for taunt aggro control or for damage against bosses with stubbers/ripper guns. VoC Veterans are very helpful as the boss knockdown buys you additional seconds to keep attacking bosses without them reacting with knockbacks. In general the fight demands specific types of builds where everyone on the team is capable of both contributing to boss dps and is able to kill elites quickly on their own without relying on someone else. Your loadout will want one ranged weapon capable of high fire rate burst damage to bring down Rinda's shield and a strong melee weapon for her brother's that can also kill elites quickly.

You can tell if a particular group has a chance at the fight or not by looking at if they can get to the tox gas phase within one window of the twins' shield being disabled. If they can't deal enough damage for the phase transition, it's unlikely they have the dps to not die by attrition against the spawn waves of elites etc.

Rinda will aggro to whomever deals enough damage to her shield, the same as Rodin. Rinda will charge across the arena to close distance, so you can use that behavior to pull her off of someone that may need breathing room. Ideally the two people handling Rinda should have ranged weapons capable of bursting her shield down in a reliable manner since melee against her will be inconsistent due to her moveset and knockbacks.

The eviscerator is a good choice for Zealot.

Not sure about the boltgun's performance.

I'd recommend a fury zealot rather than relic.

Relic zealots need to really know when to time the relic to not be deadweight when dps is what's needed.

Most of the ones I encountered did not use it effectively.

[glass kayak]

oh okay okay gotcha thanks alot

[hard goblet]

Having a charge in your pocket with fury lets you be more flexible and close distance faster which can matter with specific targets and if bosses have shields that are down.

Also lets you cross minefields while clearing them without wasting time/risking yourself.

[glass kayak]

big thanks things may go different gonna keep this in mind

[hard goblet]

You can stick with the relic if you're confident just so you know.

[glass kayak]

thank you kind sir may the emperor bless you

[hard goblet]

The random group I cleared with had a relic zealot. It was just impressive since despite having extremely low damage, it never felt like he was performing poorly during the fight. Likely because his timing and positioning was perfect for when he was needed.

[glass kayak]

well thats the point I dont know if I am using it right, I use it for opening so my team can get the damage done while the target is staggered and also help them by healing their toughness

[hard goblet]

But that's rare in general in my experience.

[glass kayak]

something like you said I just time it when I feel like we need it the most

[hard goblet]

Yeah in my experience with hardmode, the relic was best used to crowd control the elites rather than the bosses.

Rinda takes x2 melee damage to her shield while Rodin takes x3 melee damage to his shield.

Both take only x1 ranged damage to their shields. Though with Rinda using ranged to break her shields is more efficient than dealing with her melee patterns.

And both take x2 melee damage to their HP.

So once their shields are down, it's crucial to be meleeing them.

[glass kayak]

doing that part right so far

[hard goblet]

As every time one of them takes 25% damage (I think), they transition to the tox gas phase.

The biggest threat is usually being bullied out of position by ragers, crushers, and maulers forcing players apart.

Hence why aggro via Ogryns and CC via relic or VoC is so useful.

Hope you make progress with all this.

[glass kayak]

I hope so as well

thank you again

[young rampart]

If for example a weapon by default does more damage to infested(pressing E to view attack breakdowns) should i then perk it for +25% dmg to infested or do i try to cover up its weakest instead?(whatever that may be)

[hard goblet]

Most weapons will not need or want +damage against infested to reach breakpoints. It's easier to evaluate on a weapon to weapon within a class basis than raw damage numbers alone.

[warm bane]

How does the Thunder Hammer hold up in the twins fight?

[young rampart]

Cant go wrong w +Flak and +Maniac right

[hard goblet]

Again, it depends on the weapon. What's the weapon in question?

[hard goblet]

I can't recall seeing many, if any zealots running it. My impression is that it'd be decent if a bit slow.

As long as it's capable of dispatching elites in a timely manner, it should work fine with a complementary ranged weapon for the niche I mentioned earlier.

[warm bane]

Same, only seen knife and evisc zealots

thought it was a bit odd

[hard goblet]

I know it suffers from slow and poor horde clear as it staggers and knocks poxwalkers around rather than killing them.

And that low TTK may just be too sluggish for the killing pace Twins hardmode demands.

[blissful horizon]

are there any guides on where/how to get gear? i haven't played since release and not really sure how i should start working towards a good weapon

[hard goblet]

There's really only a couple ways to "farm" for gear.

Buy copies of gray weapons from Brunt's Armory -> waste roughly 500k-1 million dockets -> get at best 2 or 3 weapons above a 360+ base rating that have a stat distribution that isn't garbage -> consecrate them at Hadron -> watch them get bricked by Hadron -> run out of plasteel -> run missions -> repeat

Check the rotating shop at the Armory Requisiton or Melk's and hope there's something viable or a tier 4 blessing worth extracting.

Weapon modification at Hadron's now allows you to modify 2 out of the 4 slots on a weapon. Once those slots are modified, you can modify them an infinite number of times but the other 2 slots are permanently locked to what they were. So that means you can either change 2 perks, 2 blessings, or 1 of each.

[blissful horizon]

this is super helpful, thanks

[hard goblet]

When you earn a blessing of a specific tier, it's added to your blessing stickerbook and can be reapplied an infinite number of times to any weapon within the same weapon family you earned it from.

All Kantrael Infantry Lasguns or all Accatran Recon lasguns for example.

Psyker staves are the only exception.

[hidden widget]

what's a zealot meant to do against a gunner wave in karnak hard mode?

[hard goblet]

Ideally using fury to charge into them. Shotgunners are one of the top run enders in Twins.

[simple abyss]

yeah, as long as rinda is not hard focusing you dont be afraid to dive shooter packs

[boreal nimbus]

Hey Hey people, what's the easiest way to get the Long Bomb penance for the Veteran? I'm trying to get the helmet

[rigid wasp]

Anyone else experiencing where you hit a key like to switch weapons or use blitz and nothing happens? Seems to be happening all the time after the last major patch. Just want to make sure it's not just a worn out keyboard or something else on my end. On PC that is.

[pure marsh]

get to a kinda high spot that has enemies climbing up and arc it so that it explodes off the edge

thats how i got mine

[boreal nimbus]

Does the grenade you use matter? Rn I'm using the Frak grenade

[young rampart]

Bolt Gun

[odd orbit]

@boreal nimbusMUCH easier with Shrapnel or whatsitsname

[pure marsh]

flak is the best because big radius also use the grenade upgraade skill for more explosive range

[warm bane]

Plan on changing one of these for ranged crit chance, it's an Autogun
Which is preferable to keep?

[rigid wasp]

Flak

[slim stirrup]

Yea I would also say Flak

[nocturne zealot]

Maybe someone here is kind enough to help me out. I just hit 30 for the first time. I played Vermintide 2 non-stop. Am I missing something or what is the point in picking "Quickplay" over "Maelstrom"? Rewards are at least 2x better in maelstrom..... so what's the point of regular missions?

[hard goblet]

Maelstrom is harder. Some people don't care what they're queued into and just want the +%s to crafting resources to deal with the heavy grind the game has.

Maelstrom doesn't affect the spawn ratios of crafting resources either.

[nocturne zealot]

ty sir!

[boreal nimbus]

Ah fuq thanks man

Time to redo my build just to get my helmet

[granite merlin]

That's been my experience thus far using Hammer, sadly. Just enough horde there to make CC useful, but also enough to make charged attacks too cumbersome. Not enough DPS for the main task, essentially. The build I ran did make me feel immortal though.

Anyone got Zealot meta build for beating up the Karnak Twins? From what I read above, Evisc/Knife seems like the play. I've got more knife-play experience, so I guess I'm partial to that.

[fiery shell]

Do auric maelstrom mission give more plasteel?

[hard goblet]

Crafting resource spawn ratios are solely determined by the difficulty level such as Heresy or Damnation.

Malestrom/Auric modifiers have no effect.

[coral violet]

they give less because you cant quickplay into them

[agile hinge]

uhhh how does earning bless actually work? Is each blessing for each gun?
Crafting seems like crazy grind to get proper blessings

[red anvil]

Each blessing you earn unlocks it for that family of guns in your account.

For example, sacrificing a graia braced autogun will unlock it for all braced autoguns.

[agile hinge]

oh my oh my so getting properly done weapon for damnation is gonna take a while

thanks

[red anvil]

Uhh you don't really need the best stuff for damnation

[white quiver]

Hey so I was told about a bug that can potentially delete characters? Any have any info on that, and it worth it to boot the game up if thats still an issue?

[hard goblet]

#gameplay-help message

[vocal nacelle]

only 1 person reporting that bug i think if that happen to alot of people fatshark will probably rollback

[green onyx]

Vet here, looking for advice on what to change perk/blessing wise

Blessings available are SS lll, DS ll, Shred ll and Bloodletter l

Limited to this before I roll a better one

[rigid wasp]

With those blessings you have there's not much to do about it

Otherwise it'd be something like rampage and shred/SS with flak and maniac

[vocal nacelle]

weird chainsword, wrath to shred stamina to flak

[celest jetty]

How can you get the Auric Star trinket?

[vocal nacelle]

Press esc check penance

[hard goblet]

Isn't that an Imperial Edition trinket?

[vocal nacelle]

Wait lemme google

Ah yea its the imperial edition

[fast laurel]

Only you

[vernal plaza]

Only the middle keystone have team wide effect

[haughty lance]

if it affects allies it will say "you and allies in coherency range"

[half tendon]

Yo guys does darktide have Xbox keyboard support???

[kindred elm]

Someone can play with Intel ARC a770 16GB? When i try to start map in load screen game is blackscreened and disconnected me from server with error 2014

[solemn gate]

can anyone help, in interface my centre of screen dot is off, but I still see it ingame

any thoughts?

[quick remnant]

With mod ?

[solemn gate]

I have no mods enabled at the moment

[quick remnant]

Have you tried enabling then disabling it again ?

[solemn gate]

yep

[sage crane]

This might be a noob question, but how do you Fan with the Revolver? do i need the new one?

[hard goblet]

That's a special action of the new revolver variant.

[quick remnant]

It's the "aimed" action of the new one

[hard goblet]

Ah sorry, haven't used it yet myself.

[signal apex]

thats

not imperial edition

thats the pre order rewards

the imeprial edition does not give any trinkets

[sage crane]

So the old version (mark) doesn't have this?

[quick remnant]

Yes

[wheat valley]

Is there a way to turn off the slide cancelling for chain weapons or is that inherent to them now

[quick remnant]

Inherent to them to let you move out of the sticked attack

[wheat valley]

damn

need that a lot less than i need to dodge around in an attack i want to keep

[green onyx]

Bought the imperial edition key, didn't know you got this. Don't have them

[zinc pier]

why is zealot a squishy bish that cant even melee a horde as well as my lvl 1 psyker? what doing wrong? i wanted crazy chainsaw scottsman with a flamer and a doom soundtrack but i got a toddler with shoelaces tied together instead

[stoic locust]

Don't know what the problem is seeing as they both have the same starting weapon (I think) but Zealot has straight up higher base stats so I think its a problem on your end, unless 2.5% crit chance is the deciding factor

[rough anchor]

What the best weapon for make every shot count?

[zinc pier]

i think the vraks mk7 headhunter is very accurrate, the simi auto with the longest barrel? it was a headpopper for me

[vocal nacelle]

Its pre order then, i got the charm

[rigid wasp]

With all the toughness DR and regen the zealot can get, I think they're anything but squishy

[sour iron]

Imo revolver, but other people have made the plasma gun or shotgun work

[charred cloak]

Is there anyway to track my accuracy for the 90% accuracy penance?

[pastel canyon]

if i want to hit the most breakpoints should i replace specialist damage with flak or swithc crucian roullette with deadly accurate?

[rigid wasp]

Is the gun not one-shotting or two-shotting flak gunners? Or rather, is it just barely missing a headshot on a specific elite or specialist enemy?

[static fern]

Hey friends, I got two agri headhunter guns, but i'm coming back after a long time. I'm unsure the best blessings/perk for this gun? Which gun should I use and what blessings to use?

[fast laurel]

I like this one

Id swap out opening salvo for Deadly Accurate

And then swap ranged damage for Flak

[static fern]

Thank you 🙂

[fast laurel]

You are welcome

[static fern]

Would you generally play around surgical then? Purposely wait for 10 stacks or just play normally still?

[fast laurel]

Its 10% crit chance for every 0.25 seconds on tier 3

You'll get 100% crit chance just by waiting for about 2 seconds. And with Deadly Accurate. That's up to 100% crit weak spot damage bonus that you'll do

Though generally if you need to hurry. 3-6 stacks is already a high enough chance for you to get a crit

[static fern]

Gotcha, thank you!

[prisma pilot]

how do you get the bells to spawn in the twin fight mission
they keep not spawning

[hard goblet]

The host needs to have completed the bell puzzle beforehand.

ooh okay

does haymaker work with lights once stacks are up?

[vocal nacelle]

no

hey any good psyker builds for the damnation twins? usually it's a couple of zealots/ogryns that end up dying because we dont do enough damage but how can i support as a psyker here?

[waxen kindle]

Need help with just a flesh wound we are two level 30 zealot

[cyan meadow]

What would you guys do to make this better?

[vocal nacelle]

Super charge to brutal momentum/slaughterer , elites to flak

[cyan meadow]

so i should keep unarmored dmg? doesn't powered up hit kind of do that already?

also thx

[dense tulip]

what are resistant enemies?

[quick remnant]

Is it from the Maelstorm modifier?

[dense tulip]

No, it's from weapon stats

[rigid wasp]

I don't see resistant enemies there

Oh wait

True

I think it's unyielding

[hard goblet]

Unyielding.

[dense tulip]

Yeah, I thought that would be it, but couldn't find confirmation. Thanks

[quick remnant]

Unyielding ?

[coral violet]

unarmored is nice for occasional dreg (shot)gunners, second option for blessing is sunder if you plan on staggering waves of flak ragers/maulers

otherwise brutal momentum

[tired harness]

Anyone down to play with some fresh characters?

[toxic quarry]

Hey guy can someone help with “just a flesh wound” for zelot?

[rough anchor]

[mortal dagger]

At what distance do you get the full damage bonus of longshot?

[warped flint]

What's the best way to kill a Chaos Spawn?

[vocal nacelle]

what character ? what situation

alone or with teammate?

[fast laurel]

you'll get the full bonus damage when you're at and over 20 meters, relative to an enemy.

[fast laurel]

Go to melee and hit the weak spot, they take more damage on melee hits. Compared to range. And learn to block and dodge its attacks when its aggro'ed towards you.

[warped flint]

what's its weakspot?

[hard goblet]

Its head.

Small, located closer towards the center of its mass.

Front side.

[coral violet]

parry all its attacks with the devil claw then squeeze in 2 headshot heavies when it stops to grab you

[young rampart]

I know blocking is 360*, is pushing 360* as well? Or just whats infront

[woeful root]

also 360

but just like blocking, it has an efficient angle, where outside of that, the push is significantly weaker

[meager kelp]

What is a weak spot

[fervent relic]

The mouth in this case

[jaunty oak]

Been having frequent Error 2001 2014 2004 3013 after the update? If you have tried everything else (Verifying files, restarting your router, etc) and nothing has helped, delete the game completely. and delete the folder in appdata before a reinstall.

No, you just need to make sure you are in a private match.

Any charge works.

[upper bone]

I must be going mad

This button did not appear before i googled how to sell weapons

sorcery im telling you

Were you looking for it on the Hadron station by any chance? There you can't sell them, just in your own inventory

https://i.imgur.com/mTwx4HI.png Do you guys think this is any good?

[dense wadi]

Looks pretty good overall

How much of a percentage debuff is 4 stacks of brittleness though? 20% I’m guessing?

[hard goblet]

If you're ok with an even lower dodge count than the already low dodge on pswords sure.

That mobility will be extremely painful.

Supercharge isn't all that useful on the psword but you can use it if you want. I'd personally swap it to Brutal Momentum. Block efficiency to flak or carapace.

[regal cliff]

Do critical strikes (more damage) effect impact and/or stagger anywhere in the formula

[mighty inlet]

doesnt it tell you in attack breakdowns

[thorny horizon]

can someone help with "just a flesh wound" on zealot?

[kindred breach]

So can I get a confirmation that I can mod in this game and play in public matches with mods? Such as Spidey Sense, numeric UI, Healthbars, Show me real weapon stats, etc... (stuff in nexus mods)

[regal cliff]

I saw a year ago that someone was saying it was lying, that it actually isn't in the math and the tooltip was wrong. Don't know if that's the case now though.

[hard goblet]

Yes, the vast majority of mods including those only affect your client and thus Fatshark doesn't care.

Clientside only mods are allowed.

[kindred breach]

Is it pretty much stuff in nexus mods?

[hard goblet]

Yes.

[kindred breach]

Cuz I see youtubers with like health bars and stuff

guessing that's mods?

[hard goblet]

Yes, that is also a mod.

[pure marsh]

Is there a way to see what blessing pools are shared?

[last orbit]

anyone find the game a lil laggy? i have a ryzen 7 7800 3xd and a 6800xt red devil

[scenic rivet]

Not just you, game stability has gotten a little worse

Thoughts btw, 25% maniac or t4 dum dum

[true gust]

I think changing the blessing would be far better than changing the perk

[hard goblet]

The columnus already performs really well even without optimal blessings. Though neither of your current blessings are that good either.

Do you anticipate trying to mow ragers down before they reach you?

If so, then +maniac would be better.

[scenic rivet]

I figured since it has less flak dmg compared to maniac (215 to 331), that a better blessing would be better

dum dum and stripped isnt bad when I just sorta run into crowds with my ult

[hard goblet]

It's really just that the optimal blessings are mostly boosting or relying on close range damage, which is currently set to a distance of 8m and is the same distance to which your melee will reach in game.

[scenic rivet]

and that would help me run out of gunner hordes (max mobility and sprint cost reduction helps with that kind of playstyle)

[hard goblet]

Stripped down isn't awful, as a utility pick it works well.

Especially when combined with veteran talents on the right side.

[scenic rivet]

Yeah, it's on my zealot

[hard goblet]

Ahh.

[scenic rivet]

I'm just grabbing all the weapons as I go

I already have a god tier graia infantry as is

max stats, max blessings and perks

[true gust]

The most effective i see the columnus being is on veteran, since their ammo return aura can give back more ammo than it spends killing elites, and you barely need to even pick up an ammo pack the entire mission as long as you use the gun solely as an elite deleter

[scenic rivet]

Elites and ragers are something of a pushover thankfully

I learned a cute little trick with the chainsword I have

[hard goblet]

Yeah on Zealot the columnus won't have as much mileage.

[scenic rivet]

If I cancel the saw animation early, it still applies max bleed stacks

so I can tag them with a melee headshot, and then the bleed will kill them off

[true gust]

It's still a fine gun, I'd change sustained fire to dumdum and call that good

[hard goblet]

On what difficulty did you accomplish this?

[scenic rivet]

damnation

only way to play, especially on auric

[scenic rivet]

that's what I was thinking, honestly

if I don't like it, I just won't use it, I have a great laspistol and plenty of other guns to use

dum dum 4, infernus 4, max stats, t4 maniac, t4 flak lol

[hard goblet]

I'm too used to Veteran. I guess Zealot has some melee boosts of some sort.

[scenic rivet]

Lots

They're a melee crit machine

[hard goblet]

My impression of bleed is that it takes too long to kill and too long to apply.

But if it works for zealot then.

[scenic rivet]

Chainsword with the blessing applies 14 stacks for me atm

but it already hits pretty hard with just a charged heavy to the head

heavy sword IX is also really ridiculous

[true gust]

I'm trying to get at least one good roll of each weapon on my Zealot, I unfortunately kinda burned through my plasteel reserve trying to get some good revolvers and stuff

[scenic rivet]

so is power maul...that thing trivializes hordes of armored units

you can light special so frequently, it stunlocks them pretty much forever

[true gust]

I only recently got a god roll crusher, it's a thing of beauty

[scenic rivet]

it's been great for malestroms that spawn them a lot

but I've been getting bored of the same setups, so I started getting more guns and melees to vary up stuff

I genuinely like the new chainsword moveset

[true gust]

I'm gonna try using it in the twins fight, i honestly think it's good enough to trivialize the hard mode for me

[scenic rivet]

Kind of reminds me of the bretonnian longsword

which I am a major fan of

It has that forward lunge with its heavies that feels so juicy to use

you can loop light heavy for single targets easily

[true gust]

I'm not sure who i should get the new chainsword on, i wanna try it out though

[scenic rivet]

I think vet and zealot just rock it very well

if you go melee focused on vet, it kinda chews through shit

[true gust]

Might do psyker or vet, i like my melee stealth vet...

[scenic rivet]

and if you can make good use of its cleave blessings and atk speed, it sorta feels like hordes are made of better

[true gust]

I'll collect some plasteel n go for a good one on them then

[last orbit]

whys it bad?

[hard goblet]

Server instability since Fatshark hasn't restarted their servers in a while.

And the recent updates seem to have caused some issues.

[scenic rivet]

frames have hiccups during gameplay now

dunno what they did, but it's not as smooth as before, it's already gotten me killed a few times when too many things are on the screen now

and its not like I have a bad rig, either.

just some bad optimization

[hard goblet]

Frame drops, audio overflow bugs, to name a couple.

[scenic rivet]

Yeah, the audio is my major peeve point

I unapologatetically use spider sense mod now to deal with it

[hard goblet]

There's also an animation bug with the plasma gun related to server ticks/lag where it will not play its firing animation and provides no feedback, even though the game counts it as having fired.

[scenic rivet]

The amount of stealth pox bursters its snuffed out, let alone silent hounds and trappers just became obnoxious

and I swear to god, it's shown a pox burster spawn behind me twice now

not from a spawn door

literally behind me

[hard goblet]

Yeah, I've experienced that too.

Quite literally not hearing them cross a room while fighting a crusher wall.

[scenic rivet]

which the game has a notorious habit of doing for the luls with random common horde units so they can get free backstabs on you

[hard goblet]

The game decided it was more important I hear the 4 mutants a mile away.

[scenic rivet]

RAUUUUUUGH

[rigid wasp]

I will generally prioritize the perks that raise the lower values

IAGs deal good maniac damage, so I don't get too concerned with raising maniac damage even more

Though there's a case to be made for capitalizing on the bigger damage it deals to maniac to make a +maniac even better

[scenic rivet]

Honestly, it's already showing some luster

stripped down is letting me run head first into packs of reapers and heavy gunners, and just popping ult scot free to lock them down

[rigid wasp]

Stripped down is honestly really good on vet

[storm laurel]

it's pretty goofy when you pair it with the talent that gives you stamina back for avoiding ranged attacks by sprinting

can just run around in front of as many gunners as you want for as long as you want

if you get tapped by melee you're basically dead tho

[formal ocean]

Does onslaught 4 exist? I've been trying to roll it for the past 2 weeks and haven't gotten it through crafting, melk, or shop. Or is it just super rare?

[jovial gyro]

I solved server's lag issue on weekends when server overloads, just switch server by clicking matchmaking. Even Fatshark didn't suggest this, but suggested refund.

[lone turtle]

Is there an explanation of the twins fight available anywhere?

[dusk dove]

You absolutely destroy two twins. There

[remote compass]

the gist is that the twins have a shield layer and a health layer and they'll heal each other if you only focus one

if you destroy shields of both twins at the same time, they get stunned, giving you ample time to dmg their health. their shields don't regen, so take your time whittling both down piece by piece

during a special event when lights go out, run to a lit up corner of the arena so you avoid the gas

also make sure to keep up with the ranged twin's grenade spam and proc them on purpose to clear the room

once one twin dies, the other one gets enraged, the melee twin will be harder to defeat than the ranged one from what I've heard online

so plan this all out in advance and you're good to go

also don't die to rager + mauler spam

[lone turtle]

Oh I've a gun for that last part so, should be good.

Thanks.

[molten pawn]

OK chat, I'm stumped.
What is that sound cue supposed to mean? I don't see anything in the game UI that changes alongside this, so I'm lost as to what this is supposed to tell me. 😕

[woeful root]

sounds like the sound that plays when your ultimate regens

[frozen holly]

i need help with my hammer zealot. i go down so quickly despite having so much wounds and toughness

[runic obsidian]

how do i play solo

[frozen holly]

i think with a mod?

[runic obsidian]

ok thanks

[fervent ridge]

Toughness regen speed is no longer desired on curios, especially not on martyrdom chastiselot because it requires coherency to be effective and when you dive you will almost always be just out of coherency

Curio ideal perks are flat toughness / HP + gunner or sniper resist 20 + stamina regen

Thammer play also really wants Thy Wrath be Swift so you do not get staggered out of your special heavies

or staggered in general

since TWBS offers both melee and also ranged stun immunity (but the latter is not stated in the tooltip) and is pretty much a compulsory keystone on zealot unless you are 2000 hours deep mega pro or just cocky af

You can free up 3 points from the right side of the tree since thammer is not a crit weapon and spend those points into Holy Revenant / Until Death to give you a safety net in case you get bursted down way too fast

https://youtu.be/HfkXjESn5YY?si=sQt_C9DqFgrzmACn

Sample talent distribution for thammer play, martyrdom can be swapped out for momentum and shroudfield changed to chastise which is more consistent and requires less careful play but top half of the tree remains identical

There's no secret really.

Everyone just needs to have a proper build and have a good loadout.

[rotund iris]

are they ever going to improve the performance of this game?

GTX 3XXX users can't play it without dipping into the 60-70s, which is absurd

it's got this weird lag too. many people have it. any plans for that? i'm a vermintide 2 player and i coudln't keep playing

[native sparrow]

Try disabling RTX

[dire plank]

Can you leave a mission that is already started and keep your streak for Flawless Execution?

[fast laurel]

yes the perks yes

[blazing rune]

@dire plank I did this peanance a long time ago but as far as i remember, it used to be possible but got patched

[unique pilot]

just got the game, it feels like i am playing at 20 fps even thought in-game it's stable 90+

is this a known issue?

[warm nebula]

Could be your ping or data rate to the servers; you might get 90fps but the enemies aren’t moving smoothly (because the game doesn’t get enemy position updates regularly from the server)

If you have the ability to plug in an Ethernet cable instead of WiFi, give that a try

[unique pilot]

no

its not that

like when i move it feels like 20 fps

move mouse that is

not tearing

it just feels low fps

like refresh rate of monitor would be set at 30hz

[kind maple]

what's generally the best way to fight a pack of ragers in melee>?

do I just keep kiting backwards? how do I know when I've got an opening

[woeful root]

hope you have a weapon that can stagger them or groups of them

ragers' 4-hit combos can not be spot-dodged

so unless you have a weapon with uninterruptible attacks or you're a TWBS zealot or you have a melee with stagger or you have a dclaw, it'll be rough in pure melee

whack them in between their combos or hope they do their non-combo attacks

[zealous dove]

What's the green arrows and skull below Mission boxes mean?

[quick remnant]

Hardest mission you've done the mission under

[kind maple]

sorry quick question, by spot dodge what do you mean?

like on react?

[woeful root]

you have something similar to i-frames on dodges

[kind maple]

i see and they're moot with rager combos?

[woeful root]

the game makes an extra check for how close you are to an attack as a deciding factor for whether you can spot dodge it or not

and how close you can be to an attack before you can unsafe is on a per-attack basis

[woeful root]

ye, at least their 4-hit combos

the rest of their attacks are easy to spot-dodge since they're usually in-place attacks

and they don't have any lunges or anything as far as I can remember

[kind maple]

sigh what a pain

thanks for the explanation tho

[woeful root]

yeah one would hope that there would be a pleasant way to fight them in melee but yeah gunning them down is usually the go-to method

some melee weapons have a particularly strong stagger on their special attack, like the Tactical Axes, Duelling Sword, and Combat Axes (well, combat axes can stagger ragers with lights/heavies anyways) that you might make use of if you're going down the melee route

[blazing rune]

Hey everyone, could anyone tell me if there is a good guide/video about how to dodge/parry perfectly ? I am used to dodge, I can rely on the sound effect to predict the incoming hits from behind, but when I am out of dodge, those 2-3 seconds I need to wait to get my dodges back are sometimes lethal. This morning, played my psyker on high intensity T5, we lost control of the situation, got surrounded, I couldn't quell, had to switch for the dueling sword and at some points, I couldn't dodge anymore, psyker's stamina is pretty low so my guard got broken and i went down. I don't need better gears or better build, I need to get better on that basic mechanic and I am not sure to understand how to perfectly dodge/parry to never go down against hordes or during close range fights in general. Thanks !

[little coyote]

Try to manage between dodge and block when you feel you're getting overwhelmed. Dodge counter resets pretty quickly but if you spam it drains very quickly and dodge slide counts as two dodges which also can reduce the amount of your effective dodges in a tight spot

[woeful root]

you can nab kinetic deflection for some extra safety and/or avoid peril generation in sketchy situations

[blazing rune]

Dodge slide counts as double ? I am confused about this. You mean when you dodge and crouch at the same time so it makes you slide + dodge ? I binded both actions on the same key, and I installed that mod which display the remaining dodges you have. I did some tries in the meat grinder and the counter decreased by one

[warm nebula]

How did you lose control of the situation? Did you go in too deep, or did the AI Director just throw the wrong mix of baddies at you?

[blazing rune]

You mean the ability venting shriek ? I thought about it, but i love the bubble for the amazing support it gives to the whole team tho'

[woeful root]

nah just in the general sense that, if you're getting pressured and need to block in the interim to recover your dodges, have some free peril for kinetic deflection

venting shriek is nice if you're on the left side already and can make the choice between it and bubble

or grab an infinite cleave weapon like trauma or purg to avoid your team getting overwhelmed or to make clutches easier

[blazing rune]

Got a bunch of ragers, maulers, + hord and a lovely bomber who put fire on our small area where we didn't have much place to deal with the situation

[warm nebula]

Bombers are nasty, yeah

And a pack of ragers & maulers can be trouble when they are close enough to start swinging

[young rampart]

One day i will beat Rager in melee

[warm nebula]

Could you have spotted the ragers early enough to choose not to engage them in a tight corner?

(I think your problem can be solved strategically rather than tactically)

[blazing rune]

We could have handle this situation differently for sure, but I want to feel comfortable enough with close range fights and reliable enough to go for hi-intensity gauntlet/auric maelstrom, and as far as I saw, messy situations can happen very quickly in those difficulties, so i'd better to be ready for anything

[young rampart]

Wait till i get dual wield melees too

Lets even the playing field

[unique pilot]

what is the point of profane weapons?

is it like a basic weapon that you gamble with enhancing on?

and requisition is just shop that refresh once in a while with RNG gear?

[young rampart]

Yes

Gamble on that 375 roll

[young rampart]

The little rating on the top right corner

[vast condor]

https://tenor.com/view/indiana-jones-shoot-harrison-ford-nope-gif-11523430

Just shoot the bastard.

[young rampart]

u know what, you right

[keen pond]

Hey so I just learned something

The sneaky vet is kinda really really strong

It's kinda insane to kill an ogryn in like 3 stabs in Heresy

I still need a pistol for it tho, if you guys have a suggestion that fits a zoomy backstab based build, it'd be appreciated

[unique pilot]

can every stat roll at 100%?

[woeful root]

no

they share a pool of 380 max points, and an individual stat is capped to 80

at most, only 4 stats can be 80, and the 5th stat will be 60 (80 + 80 + 80 + 80 + 60 = 380)

[keen pond]

I have a single target Psyker that can do it regularly

Just push the bastards and then heavy saber stab

[unique pilot]

is there anything else to do with garbage guns other than sell them?

[unique pilot]

earn blessing?

[true gust]

Yeah, you either sell them, or earn one of the blessings on them

Earn blessing let's you rebless that mod an infinite number of times onto any weapon of the same type, and I'm pretty sure it works across your whole account too, rather than per character

[flint obsidian]

Where do I find modifications to add?

[woeful root]

modifications = refining or reblessing

it means that you could modify 2 perks, 1 perk and 1 blessing, or 2 blessings

[glass kayak]

@hard goblethello its me the guy that you gave few tips on the twins, today I got them on damnation massive thanks again for your help and advice, may the emperor bless you :D 🙏

[robust sierra]

hey guys i got a question , which is the most optimal number of working threads ?

[rigid wasp]

Ideally, default

Which I think might be universally set to max-3

I have 12 threads and use 9 for the game

Lack of knowledge can lead one to just maxing it because "well, the game has more processing to it", but you also need other worker threads to run the rest of the computer, just like you can't just take your brain off the rest of your body to just move your arms while playing (flamer zealots excluded)

And ideally Fatshark has already worked out the appropriate number to run the rest of the computer on, which in my case is 3 threads

I also couldn't find an answer on a specific number of threads to run the computer with, and I'd guess it to be in part due to how shit just gets shared around the threads and you don't have stuff like "this thread exclusively runs Discord and nothing else"

[robust sierra]

thanks

[quick coral]

Brand new player never touched a previous 40k/war hammer. I chose psyker originally but after meleeing a few things decided it’d probably be a blast if I went melee focused as the melee feels fun.

Any guidance?

Probably going to reroll zealot

[vocal nacelle]

wym reroll? you can make multiple character

[quick coral]

just change from psyker to zealot

[vocal nacelle]

ah, learn to dodge/block/tagging/shove/push attack/sprint slide really helps your melee game

[tepid briar]

Yeah, consider changing your keybinds to not have tag on middle mouse if you don't like clicking your middle mouse very often, and consider making V your jump key, and letting spacebar be your slide key only

Spacebar for jump and slide can result in awkward jump when you meant to slide moments that are just death, and getting the muscle memory early is nice.

You may want to change sprint from holding shift, to instead being a toggle on shift, as that makes sprint sliding easier...

Know that while sprinting with stamina up, if you run diagonally at shooters they will miss, as you are considered 'dodging' and they shoot where you were. So if you run straight at them they still hit.

Sliding also sets you as dodging ranged attacks.

[tepid briar]

There are a lot of zealot feats that don't actually say everything they do, for example Thy wrath be swift says you no longer get melee hit stun, but you also don't get ranged hit stun, awkward but yeah.

Didn't realize this question was 2 hours old, but hey! Hope all that helps.

[cold moon]

wow really? I need to move some points around then

[unique pilot]

in twins fight what do you do when the dude shoots at you in the arena where there is no cover? having trash mobs between him and you and ducking kinda works

the other twin can also block them i guess

but its unreliable to get aggro

[hard goblet]

There's a pattern to the shooting. You can dodge the shots.

[unique pilot]

oh yeah i forgot there is dodge in this game

[zealous dove]

is there like a visual guide somewhere for "Enemy Types" for like perks shits confusing

also it should be in the in game hub 😉

[cold moon]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/enemies

[stoic iron]

when you hit any body part in the meat grinder it will tell you what armour type that body part is, otherwise check the gameslantern

[cold moon]

On the Gameslantern site, click on the enemy name to show more specific details

[hard goblet]

You can access the Psykhanium from there. Doesn't get more direct than that.

[zealous dove]

@hard goblet Not really. Why isnt there just a computer you can interact with to bring up a enemy and look at it. Immersion brother

[hard goblet]

If immersion is your main concern, the psykhanium is already better suited to that than text from an interactable.

A stronger argument you could've offered would've been a more intuitive system that doesn't rely on the player needing to acquire specific blessings and weapon stat distributions to test extremely specific interactions within Fatshark's systems.

But to answer your question as to why this isn't all written as text in game

[stoic iron]

very immersive

[hard goblet]

It's because it's designed to be cumbersome to write out.

[zealous dove]

No my argument is pretty strong, a casual player should be able to go right up to something and know what monsters are classified as.

[stoic iron]

which you can

[hard goblet]

Which they intuitively gather by hitting an enemy in the meat grinder once.

[quick remnant]

Monster no, as they aren't in the Psykana

[zealous dove]

Its a pretty simple concept to make a game as accessible as possible

[stoic iron]

don't think he's specifically talking about bosses

[zealous dove]

Wanting more ppl have an easier time to play the game. my bad

[quick remnant]

[stray sparrow]

any high levels able to help me out with the On Overwatch penance (cant take melee damage on a malice mission)? I've been trying all day but doing it with randoms is giving me genuine stress headaches looool

[half pelican]

have you tried dying in the beginning and just doing a carry through the whole mission? Melee damage cannot occur if your dead

[hallow surge]

dodge is hugely important. it makes enemies basically detarget you. if you arent sidestepping liberally youre losing out on tons of defense. when in doubt, sidestep

they still do their attacks but they wont home their strikes on you the way they usually do

[dreamy wedge]

Is there anything except kicking/leaving that can be done about toxic players?
One guy is kinda peppering me with insults and having a meltdown because I took "his ammo" once, now grabbing every ammo in sight, medicae, picking up and immediately deploying boxes, throwing slurs in vc.

Sometimes I wish the scoreboard wasn't just a mod, so that he'd be aware that he got 2x as much ammo as the next person in the mission

[coral violet]

turn the chat off

[dreamy wedge]

Doesn't fix the in-gameplay issues (aka grabbing every ammo stash on sight, picking up and instantly deploying medicae/ammo boxes)

[coral violet]

there will always be random shitters that think their messages are worth reading

if it becomes unbearable just die intentionally and let him heroically carry with all the ammunition he desires

works best when you have something to alt tab to

the best way is to not interact at all

[dreamy wedge]

Made that mistake pretty early, dropped and had to ask for a pick up

[stray sparrow]

@half pelican if I had someone to carry me through it I would but I’m pretty sure randoms would just kick me before the mission was over

@half pelican that’s pretty much the only way I’ve read about that I think would work

[unique pilot]

what does rending % do?

ignore armor or smth?

[warm nebula]

Yeah, something like that. It’s good to have when you’re attacking armor

If you want to know exactly how it actually works… I think they explained it in the patch notes of Traitor’s Curse Pt1… but I could be mis-remembering

[unique pilot]

then whats the difference between rending and penetration

We could assemble a team, I’d help you. Should be pretty quick on a malice, I believe this is the benchmark for it

[jovial saddle]

What exactly are auric missions? Just harder? Seems like they all have the high intensity modifier, and the maelstrom mission even has the higher-high-intensity modifier... Do they offer better rewards by any chance?

[fervent ridge]

Only better ordos

plasteel and diamante remains the same on paper

In practice you will get less for winning because nobody plays auric for the rewards

It's there for the challenge

Best sweetspot for resource farming is normal or low int Damnation- exact same plasteel, none of the risks from specialist caravans

Not uncommon for people coming out of auric/maelstrom with 300-400 resources only because splitting off gets punished heavily in that difficulty and there really is very little time to go find pickups when a horde event is always triggering

[sharp rivet]

am i supposed to hold right click ti l100% before firing my plasma gun?

[little coyote]

at 100% it will overheat

[woeful root]

you only have to hold it for a bit

once the reticle stops shrinking, you've fully charged it

though you generally avoid using the right click since it's less ammo efficient than just spamming LMBs

[jovial saddle]

Really hoped after all these good updates, they would "fix" the ressource farm, but thanks for the reply ^^

[manic hearth]

Hi! Can someone tell me please how big is the standard aura radius in the game? I can't find any info about it, and I do not know how important the +50% aura radius is for a veteran support.

do my shots go through teammates or all those ogryns blocking them?

[little coyote]

depends on the gun you're using

[jovial saddle]

So does anyone know how or when emperors gifts drop? does anything affect base level for new weapons?

[hard goblet]

Whenever you complete a mission. Your character level is the only factor.

[unique pilot]

doesnt it work like in vermintide?

like when you equip higher rating gear your avg gear rating increases and you get better drops

[quick remnant]

No

[hard goblet]

Nope.

You just improve the range of item base ratings you can get as you level.

At level 30 you have the highest possible maximum rating of 380 and minimum of 30X.

[jovial saddle]

380 is max, not 400? aww

[cursive maple]

my darktide launcher have been glitch since months, i posted it on the forums but no response, anyone have any idea to fix it?

[frail summit]

380 is max base, 60 per t4 blessing (120), 25 per t4 perk (50) for 550 maximum

[warm mason]

hey new(er) darktide player here, what does "Rending do?

[young rampart]

Armor pen

[warm mason]

thx

[hard goblet]

Rending adds a % of the damage total you would apply to a particular armor type like flak or carapace to your final damage total.

It doesn't apply against Infested/Unarmored.

[warm mason]

I see

[hard goblet]

If you want to know what type of damage is dealt to what armor type and where, going into the meat grinder and hitting enemies will tell you.

Enemies have different types of armor depending on where you hit them.

[warm mason]

I remember that from the tutorial

in the psykhanium

[mortal dagger]

What does the "third and forth salvo" perks mean? Is it repeated hits?

[rigid wasp]

Your weapon has a point of the recoil where it's considered to be reset

This enables opening salvo, sustained fire and that other blessing I can't remember

After you trigger them once, the gun will need to reset its recoil again before it can trigger the blessings again, which unfortunately goes a bit beyond "stop shooting"

Some weapons reset faster than others and some even reset differently if they're ADSed or hipfired

[marble slate]

Anyone got a guide on what to look for with crafting? I get 380 is the cap for greys. For example, when hunting for a new Illisi and Demios sword, I'm not sure what sub stats to prioritize; is a 322 with 80% base damage better than say a 362 with 70%? How will they scale with refining, etc.

Also looking for a good way to farm mats lol

[vocal nacelle]

#psyker-class and psyker steam guide

low warp resist is the dump stat

[dense sundial]

First of all, select a weapon and press v (if playing on pc) and hover on each sub stat to see what they do. In most cases damage related stats are prioritized. The 322, 362 ratings are simply the sum of the five sub stats for a rough reference.

[gloomy plover]

Is there a colorblind mode? My friend can't tell the difference between regular fire and the fire from a zealot's immolation grenade.

[quick remnant]

Not unmoded atm

[gloomy plover]

Damn. We have to call out what is bad and what is good fire for him.

[primal swallow]

Not sure if this helps but the zealot fire tends to have smaller flames and stick closer to the ground while regular fire is more wispy with longer/bigger looking flames

[gloomy plover]

It can just be hard to look for in the heat of things. Especially during shock troop gauntlet.

[primal swallow]

yeah

[gloomy plover]

The color is how I differentiate, but it all has the same hue for him.

Is there a specific way to solve error code 2001 issues or what's up? Yesterday kept getting them when I tried to play, haven't had that happen for quite some time

[brittle mountain]

Any sinners out there that wanna bust that twins hard?

[cold moon]

Fatshark does not know either, but signs are pointing being a server connection problem. Perhaps play some games on other server regions and see if error code 2001 happens again.

[glad trout]

Started working again fine this morning so dunno what the problem was

[cold moon]

I was in the same situation in October of this year, then by November that error code vanished.

[unique pilot]

what does "extra chained energized hits" on a weapon mean

are energized hits like when you buff the next attack with a special?

[dapper shard]

Correct.

[unique pilot]

so +1 extra chained energized hits means it lasts for 2 attacks instead of one?

[dapper shard]

[sturdy nacelle]

After reaching lvl 24 with any class what difficulty would u recommend to level with

[little coyote]

gunlugger ogryns

[still helm]

Is it possible to bind different pings to different keys?

The twins' shields are Flak type, so use +25% Flak dmg perk on your weapons. Elites spawn once the shields go down and after Rodin (plasma gun boss) dies, elites spawn every minute while Rinda is left alive.

[clever quartz]

me and my friend is struggling with getting few penence from cliff hanger and just a flesh wound anyone willing to insist us?

[marble slate]

Any good way to farm materials?

[woeful root]

pretty much playing low int damnation on a map that's particularly linear, or quickplaying

material spawns scale only with difficulty, so pick whatever easiest damnation mission exists

[deep tiger]

I have a nvidia rtx 4080, Ryzen 9 3900x, and 64gb of ram.
This game barely manages 60-80 frames on average at 4k, but it only ever uses like 40% cpu and gpu, and 21 gb of ram.
Any advice for improving frames and GPU and CPU utilization?

[haughty lance]

can't fix (bad?) code with good hardware.
need more frames, shadow settings are the first to go. turn off RTX if on. then just drop quality settings until you hit your desired fps.
||also 4k is overrated AF for this very reason - too many pixels to push at decent framerates||

[deep tiger]

Agreed on the 4k for gaming. 2k is probably as high as I'd go in hindsight

[storm tinsel]

+3 for complete the hardmode?

[candid sparrow]

Are the total amont of plasteel drops on a map always randomized between around 700 and 800?

[stoic iron]

no, there's always a set amount spawned in the map depending on the difficulty

[candid sparrow]

which maps have the most?

on damnation?

[stoic iron]

they all have the same except for the orthus offensive

[haughty lance]

yeah it always appeared to me that it's more about how efficiently/quickly you can complete a map rather than how much actually spawns ... 🤔

[stoic iron]

the quickest and easiest mission for farming would probably be the oubliette assassination mission since it's fairly linear with narrow pathways and is one of the shorter missions

[haughty lance]

how's the orthrus offensive in terms of mats only?
could start a run, grab everything in the "prep room" and just leave and restart..
has anyone done that? how does that look for mats/time? 🤔

[candid sparrow]

leave?? do you keep your plasteel then?

[haughty lance]

oh, yeah that could be a problem 🙈

[stoic iron]

nah since you need to complete the missions to get all the mats, and the mission takes about 10-15 minutes whereas a regular mission takes about 20-25 and you get 280 or so plasteel compared to 600-800

[rare gorge]

Guaranteed crits is always nice and good synergy with some ability and 100% penetration on flak/carapace is something the revolver lacks, good for assassinating targets and rips maulers in hip fire/burst

Also stagger locks most big carapace enemies including bulwarks which is great for shooting it every 1-2 seconds and locking it in place

[tawdry grove]

Not really sure what channel to ask this, but does anyone know how optimize the settings of this game to run well and look great simultaneously?

[cold moon]

Game still looks good on medium/low settings

For FPS improvement, disable ragdoll physics and lower the body count duration at the bottom of the video graphics settings. Turn off Portrait Renderer from General settings is another option. Lower down shadows and lighting effects like every other game.

Finally, if you have an AMD GPU, disable Smart Access Memory/Re-Size BAR within your motherboard BIOS. Has been indicated that setting causes a wide framerate fluctuation and stuttering.

[hexed hornet]

Bolter is still one of the best options for instantly mowing down mutant and dog waves in the Maelstrom missions that have them. It also brutalizes monstrosities; it's up there with heavy stubbers as a premier monster-chunking ranged option.
But honestly, I don't think it's so much that the bolter itself is a bad weapon -- it really isn't, it deals awesome damage against every armour type in the game -- but that it's a clumsy-feeling weapon, and the plasma gun is ridiculously overtuned right now. However, pretty much every other weapon pales in comparison to that thing, so I don't know if it's a totally fair comparison. Won't be surprised if the plasma gun eats a nerf in the next update.

IME, the thing that works the best to boost FPS is turning DLSS on and running a slightly lower resolution.
I have a laptop with a Nvidia RTX 3070 on a 2560x1600 screen, running the game on 1920x1200 on high settings and "quality" DLSS still gets me better FPS than native resolution on medium. The tradeoff is a small but noticeable reduction in image sharpness. The DLSS helps a lot in that regard.

[fast urchin]

What does portrait rendering do

[stoic iron]

it shows the character’s faces in the hud next to the health bars

some people reckon turning it off significantly increases performance

What's a good melee weapon to bring for a gunlugger build on Ogryn? Something that can tackle hordes and help specials like mutants?

Can't go wrong with bull butcher or the mk 4 knife

Simple horde clear pattern, decent specialist/elite damage, stands entirely on their own without any heavy-related nodes

how long is that twins special assigment still doable?

[quick remnant]

Not temporary as far as we know

[lean mirage]

i keep getting error code 3013 when i try to load into a server

That should be the case given you played darktide before November 17, 2023. Send a support ticket at https://support.fatshark.se/hc/en-us

Hey not sure where to put this but does anyone here have performance issues with the game recently? FPS drops during bigger hordes etc that werent there before?
Game used to run fine like 2 weeks ago when I was doing Karnak twins but now I played 2 matches and get -10 fps drops from what I had before.
Anyone else experience this? ( please tag me if you have any info )

[olive raptor]

I don't have the game at the moment, that's why i was asking. Thinking of buying it again so wondering if i'll have them if i do.

[quick coral]

i'd hold off on the game. I bought it and it's just a bit boring.

think i beat 2 levels before getting bored

[rigid wasp]

My suggestion would be to delete the graphic settings file and see if that changes anything

Though the mod settings are also there, so if you changed stuff from default it'll all be reset as well

Crosshairs, HUD position and whatnot

You can copy-paste that part back if you want

[rigid wasp]

@rigid wasp Thanks, I haven't used any mods personally, do you know where can I find the graphic settings file?

Is there any math trick to get R4 blessings?

Also do blessings need to be unlocked for each weapon seperately?

[vocal nacelle]

Disable steam overlay, will fix fps

[vocal nacelle]

You can get blessing on same weapon family

All combat axe share the blessing pool

Etc

[cold moon]

@jovial saddle Tier IV blessings have a slightly better chance of appearing when a weapon reaches Transcendent/orange quality. Weapons within the same family name are shareable. Examples: Infantry Autogun; Eviscerator; Dueling Sword; Ripper Guns

Lastly, if you cannot find a tier IV blessing for one character in Melk's shop or Brunt's Armory, then switch to another class and check the shops again.

For example, both Zealot and Veteran have access to revolvers (also Psyker, but my example will not mention that class). I found a tier IV blessing on a revolver on my Veteran, bought the weapon, used Earn Blessing at Hadron's station so that I only keep the blessing and the gun is destroyed. Next, I changed to Zealot, went back to Hadron, then used Re-Bless on a Zealot's revolver to implement the same blessing that I got from my Veteran character.

[signal apex]

A bit late, dont forget the blessings are seperate for thr staff family. It's dumb but it is what it is

[cold moon]

I learned earlier today

[split shard]

hey guys, random / noob Q: is 17% the highest toughness as the base stat on a curio? and is 20% the highest health?

[signal apex]

17% is max toughness

21% is max health

[split shard]

thank you!

[signal apex]

You can increase it by giving it the 5% toughness/health perk

Can't put the same ones in a curio tho

So have both of em if ya want

[split shard]

does boosting the % found in the shop working like the item levels? so once i get a 15% toughness, than 16% will appear... then 17%?

[signal apex]

Mmm

Nah

Its a chance tbh

[split shard]

daaaaaaaang i must be really unlucky lol

just spent 5k weekly points on random curios and highest i got was 16% tough and 19% hp

[signal apex]

But if you're maxed lvl the % should stay around 15-16% toughness, if lucky 17%

Same goes to health albeit health mostly ranges from 17-20% when max lvl

And like toughness, 21% if you're lucky enough for the armory shop to sell em

[clever quartz]

anyone help me and my friend with a penence?

got just a flesh wound and cliff hanger

just a flesh wound is definitely doable with just 2 people, if you do the oubliette assassination mission it shouldn't take too long

[primal jackal]

Hi ! Question, what kind of gear do I need for Malice ? Weapon base score ? Do I need them to be Green? Blue? Purple? And if so, how do I farm diamantine ? Seems everything requires a ton and I find only like 10-20 per mission on uprising

[woeful root]

you get more stuff at higher difficulties

[rigid wasp]

Mine is at C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Fatshark\Darktide

[jovial saddle]

Though higher level gear helps alot, if you are really new, and above level 10 i'd still recommend at least Malice, even if not all the runs are gonna be successfull... Game is alot about skill and you don't learn much on lower difficulties

[rigid wasp]

If you type %appdata% on the search bar it should get you directly to Roaming

[jovial saddle]

also WindowsKey + R opens the "Run" Console, just type in "appdata"-> Enter. Also open Explorer at appdata.

Alright, thanks

[sage crane]

So i was reading a Ogryn guide for melee weapon Bully Club I combos: Heavy 1 -> Heavy 2 -> Slap

what Slap?

nvm it's the Special

[signal apex]

what is

rending in weapons

[rigid wasp]

Each weapon has a modifier towards a certain enemy, such as dealing 20% damage to carapace, 70% to flak and so on

What 10% rending would do in those two cases is make the weapon deal 30% damage to carapace and 80% to flak

Rending does not affect these modifiers on unarmored and infested targets

Furthermore, if you pass 100% of that modifier with rending, the remaining percentage is converted to 1% damage for every 4% extra rending

[zenith rain]

hey does anyone know if the crit bonus for opening salvo actually works with shock trooper and lets you maintain crit bonus as long as you dont use up too much ammo

[hard goblet]

Yes, that is an intentional interaction.

[karmic lotus]

Fastest way to level up?

[fervent ridge]

malice spam

Malice actually gave me my first loss in ages

Never count out malice being ridiculously unpredictable

[stone glacier]

Nothing worse than going into malice difficulty with lvl 15-20 that don't know how to play the game

[fervent ridge]

I'd recommend malice spam till you're lvl 30 on your first character then skip heresy and go straight into Damn asap because the quality of teammates in heresy are horrendous

[stone glacier]

i see

i'm someone who learns very fast about games and especially fps games

so it's weird seeing people playing this game for more than 10h and not figure out that waiting is key

and grouping up

and also exploring to gather ressources to make progression fun

[fervent ridge]

Yea it's like basic first person shooter game sense but idk maybe darktide is alot of people's first videogame

Understanding that corridors and doorways funnel enemies and let your attacks cleave multiple targets, using terrain to break LoS on gunners, holding angles properly so you aren't exposed to something you can't see, literally just backing up and conceding space so it thins out the horde due to different enemy movespeed

If you can do this, before you even understand what all the specials and elites do and have BiS gear, you're already damnation ready

[stone glacier]

in fps it's always a matter of positioning.

i mean, i do a lot of errors myself but man do people pushing alone feels bad

[peak arrow]

Do Crushers have a weak spot to aim for when shooting?

[stone glacier]

[blazing rune]

Did they change anything about the sound design in the past few weeks ? When there are many ennemies all around, it happens that i hear the pox buster at the very last moment when it's jumping on me. Is it only me or ?

[stoic iron]

the game's audio has been getting gradually worse over the last few patches to the point some specialists are completely silent so no it's not just you

[fast laurel]

yes silent Poxbursters has been a common problem thats plaguing the game currently. That and other sound cues not audible due to a lot of sound cues triggering thanks to the enemy density. So important sounds from specialists that recently spawned got drowned out by already existing sound cues that are playing

[hexed hornet]

How exactly does rending/brittleness work? Is it something like the below:

resultDamage = someArmourDamage + (rending% * (unarmouredDamage - someArmourDamage)), where

• rending% is the amount of rending/brittleness on you/enemy (respectively)
• someArmourDamage is the base unaltered damage you do to a given armour value
• unarmouredDamage is the base unaltered damage you do to the unarmoured value

For example, 40% rending would add 40% of the difference between the damage you'd do to an unarmoured target and the actual armour you are hitting

[fast laurel]

Rending is an additive effect that adds up to your armour damage modifiers. Each individual weapons have its own ADM against certain armour types. And Rending in itself is a self buff. So any addition to an armour damage modifers from Rending is only applied to you and you only.

Example: your Ranged Weapon has a base ADM of 20% against Crushers. So you're only doing 20% of your total damage against that particular armour type. Say you have a node like Rending Strikes that adds a self buff of 10% Rending, which applies to all your attacks. You will now do 30% of your total damage against Carapace with that Ranged Weapon
.

Brittleness is an enemy debuff effect that gives a percentage of Rending to attacks that hits an enemy. Its a cumulative Rending debuff that stacks up against a single target. Unlike Rending which is self buff. Brittleness buffs your entire team's armour damage modifiers to that 1 single target that has Brittleness debuff applied. Stuff like the node Onslaught adds Brittleness debuff that stacks up to 16 stacks. 1 stack is a 2.5% rending so in total you get a 40% teamwide ADM buff at full stacks.

unless something has changed. The formula afaik is still:
base_damage * armour_mod * rending_overflow * power * armour_perk * (any other buffs)

Both Rending effects however does not apply to the armour type Infested and Unarmoured

[hexed hornet]

Thanks a bunch melon!

[hexed hornet]

To clarify, rending_overflow is the rending value right? So a 10% rending would result in rending_overflow = 1.1?

[fast laurel]

yes

and its capped at 1.25x damage multiplier

[hexed hornet]

Oh really? In other words, you can't have more than 25% rending?

[fast laurel]

yeah Rending is capped at 100%

so if you're already doing 100% ADM against an armour type

any leftover rending is converted to 1% damage for every 4% of Rending

[hexed hornet]

Awesome, you've helped a lot
Just one final question: is there a site you got this information from? If so, I'd appreciate it if you could share it with me, just so I can do my own research and perhaps avoid asking already-answered questions 🙂

[fast laurel]

well theres not a whole lot of trustworthy sites to get all these info from unfortunately. Most of the game knowledge are found by people who looked at the code and passed down the information to this Discord actually. Or from Playtesters who has the clearance to give out the info publicly.

Im neither of those things so just ask around and everyone's more than happy to help

[hexed hornet]

Ah, I see. Thank you anyway, you've been a big help Happy New Year to you too!

[sour iron]

ive only made it to that part once

the ending fight

[dim lark]

that ending fight is so long'

how is it possible to win that?

[quick remnant]

Well yeah, if you don't know how to focus the Twins correctly you may have a case where you're fighting an impossible battle, what need to happen is to have both shield down as quick qs possible, so always have 1 person on each Twin at least.

Anf focus Rodin, Ronda is scarier yes, but she is much less dangerous in the long term

[dim lark]

i do a back and forth where i try to grab their aggro then swap to def and dodging untill someone else grabs the aggro back and forth. but its harder when theres 2

the long range one is more dang in my opinion

[hard goblet]

The aggro swapping you're describing shouldn't be necessary. The 2 players per boss should ideally be running weapons/builds capable of quickly bringing their shields down, dealing effective damage that matches against their weaknesses (melee which they take x2 hp damage against), and quickly killing Elites without relying on someone else to clean up.

[lilac grove]

Anyone got any help for veteran pennance do not get hit by melee enemies on malice or higher

[dim lark]

How would I know they take 2x to melee damage???

[pulsar delta]

If I want to roll for Tier 4 blessings, does the game take into account just the modifier rating or the total rating (including perks)?

[dim lark]

these single fire lasguns suck

[blissful horizon]

are the blessing unlocks shared across all MKs of that weapon?

and are they shared between characters?

[dim lark]

there are so many diffrent kinds of weapons. which ones are good cause it seems like the single fire ones are trash

[hard goblet]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/enemies

[hard goblet]

Modifier rating, the base rating is all that matters.

[hard goblet]

Blessings earned are shared across weapon families. i.e. All Kantrael Infantry Lasguns, all Accatran Recon lasguns, etc.

You can also use the gameslantern link above to check for blessings by weapon.

[candid sparrow]

Can you swap any of these contracts for higher reward ones?

[dapper shard]

6 monstrosities is possible

Diamantine also scales up to collect 400/get ~700 ordo ingots?

(something along these lines, I don't recall the exact values)

[unborn palm]

quick question: if you earn a penance mid mission and disconnect, does the penance stay or do you have to complete the mission to earn it

[dapper shard]

You unlock the penance permanently the moment it's unlocked, no matter what happens afterwards IIRC

[unborn palm]

ohh ok ok ty

[blissful horizon]

do you know if they're shared between characters?

[sour iron]

Blessings are shared account wide. If you unlock dumdum for iags on vet, it's also unlocked for iags on your psyker and zealot.

How does chip damage through toughness work exactly? If you are not at 100% you take chip damage, right? And is there some sort of protection for being at 1HP? Running around at 1 HP alot as my zealot, but feel like chip damage doesnt really apply anymore then

else i'd be dead WAYYYY more times at least ^^

[prisma wraith]

at 100% you take no health damage, and as far as I know after that it will be percentage based like
at 70% toughness you have 70% health damage reduction
at 30% you have 30% health damage reduction

Should note this applies to melee damage only as ranged damage will only remove health once your toughness is fully drained. Some enemies like the mauler and crusher have attacks that don't care if you're at 100%

Zealots have some talents that help with surviving and when taking lethal damage, but I don't think there's any specific universal 1hp protection.

[cold moon]

Zealot has Until Death that gives immunity when the player reaches 1 HP for 5 seconds, then pair that talent with Holy Revenant that causes Zealot to regain HP based on damage output within the same 5 seconds. Performing melee attacks restores 3 times more health than range attacks.

[stone glacier]

so can i just melee through everything ?

or is melee counted as accuracy too?

[hard goblet]

Read the part of the description which says "no ammo remaining".

[stone glacier]

yes, i was wondering if i can: put a bullet in an enemy's head, then switch to melee and finish the mission by just using melee

while having 100% accuracy on the first guy i headshot

[hard goblet]

Melee has no effect on that penance. But you need to use all your ranged ammunition.

So your proposed plan would be very difficult to achieve.

[cold moon]

Use the plasma gun. Uses up a lot of ammo and hard to miss anything with the large projectiles it spits out.

Also if you regain ammo from Veteran's Survivalist aura, it does not affect the progress of the penance as long as you depleted all of your starting ammo.

[stone glacier]

darktide crashing everytime i click on my damn curio slot in my inventory

[cosmic nymph]

I'm trying to create a Psyker with a German name to fit his accent. What is wrong with his name?

It's literally the German name for Henry. It's kosher.

[dapper shard]

They wanted to avoid players calling their characters even something remotely kindred to Heinrich Himmler

[cosmic nymph]

If that's the real reason, I'm almost having a conniption fit.

There is nothing wrong with the name Heinrich. It's a strong, traditional name.

[dapper shard]

Consider making a thread about it on the forums

But also expect to be met with ignorance

[wanton flame]

this a fairly odd question but i was wondering is the game playable at all on high ping? i'm not saying lag spikes or dropped connections, i mean if an EU person was to play in Asia for example, my girlfriend recently moved abroad temporarily and i'd love to enjoy this game together with her but i'm unsure if it will be playable, i know for some games it's decent enough and i'm able to bare it but does anybody have any cross-region experience with this game?

[cosmic nymph]

I would guess the name Joseph also be off the table?

[cosmic nymph]

I've played at high ping, and it's nearly unplayable. My frames dropped to >10fps, and aiming was impossible. By the time I fired my gun, the target had moved. I'd be hit by enemies I couldn't even see because they'd move inside my character model.

[dapper shard]

No idea

I’m guessing what I have typed could be the case for them being extra careful

[cosmic nymph]

I'll try Emmerich. It's a different spelling for Heinrich.

Okay, that name works.

I understand wanting to keep the names of specific historical figures out of the game, but Heinrich is still common. It's a fine name, and shouldn't be blocked.

Playing the Prolog.
@dapper shard Thanks for the insight.

[dapper shard]

Happy to help, even if my perspective is just guesswork

But I would like to understand what the underlying reason is

Maybe some Google search could shine some light on this darknesss

I.e., why would game devs want to prohibit players from using names of certain historical figures that have “bad” connotations

[rich saffron]

done

now i just restart?

[jovial saddle]

Are there more than 3 voices per character, depending on homeworld and whatnot, or always the same?

Well one 3male, 3female, 3ogryn

[quick remnant]

There are 3 personalities per archetype (With 2 voice per personality apart from the Ogryn)

[rich saffron]

rolling back driver didnt seem to do anything so i followed a video that had me disable Control Flow Guard for darktides program , thats seems to have improved my fps in lobby at least im hitting around 85-102 fps in lobby

[neat egret]

wait, accuracy... meaning i don't have to kill them? just hit them yeah? this makes things less hard

[red bronze]

i'm in the psykhanium comparing curios against poxbursters and noticed that if i'm invisible and detonate a poxburster by shooting it, it doesn't pierce through my toughness. If I'm visible though and it explodes while running towards me, either from shooting it, knocking it back, or diving into me, it does pierce my toughness. Does anyone know what's happening here to cause the difference?

[hard goblet]

If you only use your melee weapon you won't complete the penance because you didn't spend all of your ranged ammo.

It doesn't make much difference if you shoot an enemy once and then kill them with a melee hit instead because the challenge is to spend all of your ranged ammo.

[stone glacier]

I am aware. It's a difficult penance

[hard goblet]

Doesn't your stealth ability include damage reduction?

[red bronze]

sorry, invisible as in the mod setting

as in the poxburster isnt aggrod

[hard goblet]

Ahh.

I'd assume the difference in damage applying based on visibility is some sort of failsafe so that a burster self detonating because it can't reach the player from its spawn location won't cause damage to players nearby, maybe?

[boreal hedge]

Hi. I'm trying to get a visual on exactly how the coherency radius and chaining work. My current understanding is that everyone has a circle around them.

What I need clarification is:

1. Exactly how many meters is the base coherency radius?

2. does my circle need to touch the other person, or just overlap with their circle?

3. I read somewhere as hearsay that if you have 4 people, one guy in the center (Let's say it's an ogryn) and 3 on the outside, if the 3 players are in coherency with the ogryn, but not each other, the game chains them together anyway and everyone gets 4 stacked.

4. This depends on the answer to number two, but how many people should take the +50% coherency radius buff? If it's overlapping circles, at least two, if it has to overlap with the actual player, at most two, I'd imagine.

[vocal nacelle]

1. base range is 8 meter
2. i think you need to touch

for the rest i dunno but ogryn 50% radius is good for ogryn because you can stack toughness regen too on ogryn'

[boreal hedge]

Cool, thank you.

i got on overwatch

and the second i did, i became a huge supporter for the redacted penances

i say make em harder

[void forge]

they used to be harder

[sour iron]

Tbf some of them are way too easy

Otoh some of them are kind of incompatible or at least not intuitively aligned with current level design

Like the psyker warp battery penance would be a lot less frustrating if most levels didn't have some sort of elevator or airlock system that guarantees losing your stacks

[fast laurel]

need I remind you that it was 100% accuracy for the entire match before the penance changes

[little coyote]

What is it nowadays?

[sour iron]

90%

[little coyote]

Could still be 100% imo, it's not that difficult

[hoary vessel]

honestly 90% and 100% are trivial since you really only use the revolver for it

goes from being able to miss 4-5 shots to 0

[little coyote]

I used plasma back in the day iirc

[dull gust]

are mods safe to get in darktide

[hoary vessel]

yeah

[dull gust]

cool
