the game has a scoreboard built into it, which a mod can bring out and show to you
its bad manners these days to bring it up since many people dont want/care to know the stats postmatch
thats the only neg to mods atp
whatever you say Russo with 100 kills only
i wish they made the krieg mask look like what everyone has been using for animations š¦
is there anything i can do about ppl under level 10 joining my events on malice
or is it possible to check people's level as they join me and if they're underleveled just leave the event?
you can votekick if its a big issue
There's a mod that shows levels iirc
Sometimes that lv10 is a good player just leveling an alt, though not always
this is my experience ever malice game and at the end i see there's two level 9 players i could only tell they're low level because of how much i had to res them
through what program can I add the mod?
do i get penalized for leaving if i dont want to waste 15+ minutes with underleveled players?
awesome
you can just leave too
okay that's good to know
but outside of auric damn / maelstrom damnation theres always gonna be underlevels but its a fine line between not experienced and 'youre making this unfun'
the majority is the latter tbh...
but when you load into lobby thats a good time to decide
people usually join me mid game
ive seen lvl15 obvious smurfs clutch crazy moments
under lvl 10 is just griefing. tbh
so lvl isnt everything but for specific things that are HARD MODE then kick them dudes
lvl 10 at malice is fine
lvl 10 at herest+ is iffy
mod nexus
just download, pull the contents from winrar or whatever and just move it all into where it tells you
either in the directory itself or the mods folder
do you mean Nexus mods, yea?
do you happen to know the name of the mod itself, sorry
ah the Numeric UI?
p
P
P?
i have the numeric UI zip downloaded but i can't find instructions on how to install it
search "how to install darktide mod"
i remember someone post a vid link
or on youtube
so its not just the zip then i have to install a ton of other things
there's other steps required but once you installed it ,updating the mod is pretty easy
when the mods are installed do i need to have some 3rd party thing open when i run the game?
no
perfect
i closed vortex but the mods dont appear š¤
Did you deploy the mods then check them in the mod load order?
only know from manual experience
but the mod order might have to be set in the specific note folder?
file*
if vortex isnt working
i only have one mod i just want to see people's level in game
Do you have the mod framework
You might want to check if the mod has requirments before trying to use it, i have no idea at what step you are at in this process
yeh
mods are deployed and checked in load order?
oh right let me check
i deployed yeah but need to check maybe
should be f4 in the game
when you open the basic menu you should have much more options
it's just this window in vortex
yeah just did that, thanks!
i guess my game needs a restart now that i did that
hm, f4 does nothing
just open your Esc menu and there should be the mod menu now
this why i do manual vortex makes brain goop
i downloaded manual and then added it to vortex lol
i still dont see the mod, do i need to ahve vortex open at all times?
no I close mine usually
hmmm
@deep wave If you want I could try helping you in one of the strike party channels
which of the infantry autoguns punishes single shots the least? I want to click heads with a big magazine at maximum control with high speed with access to full auto for rending bonus from the vet talent... I need to do bursts? (actual gameplay question!)
wym punishes single shots the least?
I just want to waste less ammo on regular shooty enemies with less down time between single shots
i may take you up on that in a bit when i get back home im about to go out to get some food first it's 6pm and i havent eaten all day lol
gotchu
single shots have a weird delay like an attack chain where single shots take more time than the delay between shots in full auto fire
What type autogun?
Columnus?
Probably because salvo blessing interaction
Guys am I going insane or does the Bolter either sway a lot more then the other gun or is just inaccurate in comparison because I swear I've managed to straddle a targets head without the mouse moving multiple times.
what class is good for rending?
Your question is confusing. If you're talking about the in-game rending effect, every class is good for rending, because rending is effective against all tough enemies.
Hi, can anyone help me unlock gold Insignial? From The Orthus Offensive Domination Hard mode? 9915589081
I can in a minute, join an empty strike team if you'd like
yes please
if im lower than level 30 what resources should i save/spend? should i just use emperors gift weapons and not buy many from the store?
is it like the division where everything becomes worthless that isnt level 30 when you reach 30
You'd want to save crafting resources like plasteel/diamantine
if you are level 30, dont spend any crafting resources at all, and dont sell any guns with blessings on them
@loud obsidian Launching the game
unless you already have said blessings, but if you dont, keep them so you can donate them to hadron
Spending dockets is fine, for melk bucks, only if the weapon has a good Tier 4 blessing you want to snag
who will promptly thank you and then fuck you over for the next 500 hours while you look at her destroy a pretty gun with pretty stats
whats donating them to hadron? is that like saving the bonus stat so i can put it on a better weapon
its the earn blessing option when you go to hadron, it stores the blessings for you permanently on the weapon you donated for that weapon category
so you can use the blessing later when you are min maxing your weapons
.
As you level up, weapons that appear in the shop will have a higher potential base rating, which means higher base stats
does anyone want to help me with psyker penance?
Yeah the bolterās accuracy is terrible when suppressed Iāve wasted 3-4 shots on a single gunner when ADSing, itās almost better to pop two from the hip and just suppress the gunner than ADS.
(When I say wasted I mean shots that were either grazing or missed)
The LFG channels may get you some people to help
thx its my first time needing a team so didn't know where to ask
Anyone up for helping me and my boy do malice twins on xbox?
Also can someone have a look at my weapons and tell me if I've set them up decently? I'm new af just got my first character to lvl 30
@spare meadow I might be able to view your weapons if you can get me your fatshark code, we usually put it in our names
Okay yeah 2 secs
I'm struggling to find the code I've looked through most of the menus and stuff
in your social menu, on the bottom right you'll see "find players"
You'll see the code under your name
Should be on my display name now man
Was playing vet with plasma and shovel last night.
Someone told me to "buff TH please"
Any ideas what that means? Toughness?
Buff toughness, I suppose you were using a shout Vet ?
where do i get an xp boosting curio from
You can gamble for curios with Melkbux, but itās kind of a waste. The other two sources of Curios are 1) the hourly shop usually has 2 for sale, and 2) Emperorās Gifts, which you might be able to game with the ā+chance of curioā Curio Perk
You will have to consecrate curios to get the ā+experienceā perk, because it is a Perk
thats what i was missing ty
Good luck!
is it pure rng im guessing
do you have it chosen as the second perk
no
no double stacking
but you can place the +xp on three different curios if you have access to three slots
Is there any chainsaw wepon which can allow me to cleave hordes without getting stuck while it's wind up?
yeah i need to level up for the other 2
LFG Bells, am Ogryn with multiple builds, have HM Twins
I'm a relatively new player, have a level 30 zealot and want to do the hard mode of karnak twins but I keep getting wrecked. Any tips?
is this a good roll? or what am i even looking for?
dump stat blast radius > warp res
damage and charge rate as close as possible to 80
quell speed optional
should look like these
perks are personal preference
Might be a dumb question, but how exactly does extra cleave work? I understand cleave damage on its own, but when something gets extra cleave / cleave targets, do the earlier ones take more damage?
If it only allows more targets but each one takes less damage, wouldnāt some be taking next to nothing with high cleave?
do you get exp if you're high level but do let's say a lvl2 event?
i just did one ez one to top off to the next level but i got nothing and then my level reset...
i sat on this screen for about 15ish seconds with nothing appearing and lost all my lvl 27 exp ( i was not expecting to de-level )
yeah you still get exp. even at level 30 the game still tracks how much exp you get
right i had 1k exp left to go so i did a low level event that'd be fast
and after it ended i lost all my lvl 27 exp
never had that happen before?
maybe some kind of bug then
probably
i was like "after this level up im going to bed" 
Just read that itās a visual bug
nothing showing on the end screen?
@35 sec i check to see if i leveled up to realize im back at lvl 27 
ok ill just write it off as a rare occurrence
Looking for 2 People that can help me complete the Psyker Penance "Malleus Monstronum"
LFG channels would be your best bet
thanks
There are some chainsaw/shredder weapons with brittle stacks on hit. Does the special attack (shredder) count as multiple hits or just one for the stacks?
Is this decent?
Generally some combo of slaughterer + deflector/unstable power/uncanny strike for force swords is preferred
Perks are fine
Hi new to the game, when levelling to 30 should I be constantly looking to upgrade the rating level of my items? Currently lvl 22
would recommend saving your crafting resources for until you hit level 30
rating is tied to character level only not owned rating, unlike vt2, so you dont have to worry about it
this was my concern lol
yeah its a very nice change
just buy weapons you like if they show up in the store and have better stats, save your resources, thats the whole levelling paradigm
sounds good thank you
oh DO craft max level experience onto your curios
that will save you a lot of time
thats the only crafting you should do though
ok cool thank you!
Ye, get any curio, doesnt matter if health, toughness, or wound, upgrade it so it has one perk at least and then change that to 10% exp. the average equipment level is tied to your character, so you get the stuff everyone else get when you hit level 30 (not like in vermintide, incase you come from that game)
So, triggering a Demon causes it to target the person who triggers it, right?
After it kills said person, how does it choose it's next target?
It seems to lock onto me 90% of the time after it kills the trigger happy player and I can't tell if that's bad RNG or another factor, like proximity to the host or something
think its whoever did the most damage
anyone got a pic of what a near/perfect stat deimos blaze force sword looks like? 80 doesn't seem to be the ceiling like with the voidstrike staff
80 is always the limit for an individual stat modifier
80 everything, and 60 warp res since you don't particularly care about its special
the game just displays it like that, and we don't know when we'll get to reach 100 in a stat for now
ah
it's quite a shame yeah
my staff sitting on 80 is a full bar, so wasn't sure. thabks for clarifying
and not explained anywhere at all
im unfamiliar with FS prior to darktide but the sentiment seems to be the same across all long term players/VT vets
can i somehow report people that are super toxic and rude? had a guy that was super rude because i didnt played as he wanted me to play (he had 22 hours of playtime) and said he would report me... why are people like that. especially in a coop game? (quickplay hazard 3)
I cannot even block him because game tells me i have blocked to many people (0 actually)
https://support.fatshark.se/hc/en-us/requests/new
There is a report a player in the query type
thx
Psyker lvl 11 lfg/carry malleus monstronum please
im sorry what lvl 11 monstronum?
so I think this one's pretty good, crowd control being the lowish stat isn't terrible is it?
And I'm thinking I keep infested damage, change flak, and then I'm not sure if I would eventually want to replace one of the bottom two or if those are a good suite. Maybe momentum for slaughterer (if I find slaughter 4)
it'll be fine, you'd just want to swap momentum for thrust and infested for unyielding or elites depending on what you wanna do with it
hello, how can one get customization mod from this discord?
modding discord server in #šcommunities
thank you
is auric T5 damnation the fastest way to earn dockets or is normal damnation quickplay still better?
In practice, low int or regular damnation is the fastest and most secure way of farming dockets/exp/plasteel
Since there is no shot anyone is finishing auric and maelstrom faster than they can finish a couple of low int damnation and somehow still get most of the plasteel on the map
yeah but auric damnation qp pays out like 3x the dockets
Auric/mael are for the challenge and testing your builds at the hardest difficulty, it is not uncommon to find yourself pinned down by waves of specialists for a while, it is absolutely not fast
if you get good team you can
A tall ask in this economy
But sure, ignore everything I said if you have incredible teammates
same ish 25-35 min
just go assemble 3 teammates in a premade who are all several hundred hours deep in this game with perfect game sense and good gear and you'll cream maelstrom in no time for sure
or get 3 mouthbreathers
one of these 2 scenarios is the most commonly occurring one
what? 3 good teammates?

yeah theres shitters, but it's not like you're gonna be losing ALL the time
For the sake of low variance i prefer standard dammation for sub 20 mins clear 700+ guaranteed plasteel with a near zero chance of losing versus coinflipping it on a maelstrom for more ordos and exp (is ordos and exp really the limiting factor nowadays??) and flip a 50/50 on completing the run at all
But it's your time, in the end
if you're good you can clear a mael mission in like 25 minutes tops, 20 if its a fast map
and if you need ordo dockets, just shill out and play qp lol
oh i know i'm good
It's the other 3 that are the variables in this game
but not everyone typing in this channel has 2k hours with BiS gear on all 4 classes so I cannot make that assumption that you also have the same cracked weapons to go cream mael
i mean i guess, but you earn twice as much in qp mael, you dont really even have to be good, you just have to do what your team is doing igig
that 20% is sweet man
reporting does nothing in this game so you have little to fear from him; and conversely him from you- i've seen dudes with names like I hate n word running around for months saying the most vile shit and they are still unmolested
best you can do is blow up a barrel as they are next to it and take justice into your own hands
does anything carry over to your other characters? gear?
just currency and frames/insignias
a few cosmetics can be used across a couple different classes but most can't
correct me if i'm wrong but unlocked blessings are account wide too
that's right mb
How are single target focused melee weapons meant to be used? Every time I try to use one I get obliterated because no encounter is actually a 1v1. Specifically I was trying to use the tactical axes, since when I first starting playing I felt the same about them and wrote them off early. I have similar issues with other single target melees.
The tactical axes aren't in a particularly favorable position at the moment, but the player will want to at least use brutal momentum to offset some of the lack of horde clear it has
It seems like if I'm not hitting weak points consistently, I might as well be using a different weapon.
That might be most melee weapons
what kinda of "single target" are you talking
name the weapon
Thunder hammer?
nvm i cant read, yeaa you need Brutal momentum
What does Brutal Momentum do to help?
your axe will cleave to another target if you kill the first target on first hit
Hm ok, I'll try that out.
Hey guys, I extracted a Tier 4 blessing from a Maccabian sword but it dosent let me put that blessing on a Deimos sword????
yeh a blessing from 1 sword isnt interchangeable
:9
Blessing are weapon restricted but account wide
š¦
same with i think most guns
im going through the same shit with my staff atm
All guns, if the part that is after the MK is different it's not shared
In this specific instance, it's because tac axes are simply terrible
They have been powercrept long ago and left in the dust since the patch that massively buffed heavysword making it basically an intentional selfgimp to play anything but rashad/hsword/crusher/thammer and now most recently evis and dclaw with the damage and cleave buffs
One can definitely still run taxe in t5 but only for the love of it- don't expect to do any damage
Level 19 Zealot, should I use contract coins on this?
I believe I figured it out. My main problem was one of the Atrox axes is SUBSTANTIALLY worse than the other ones, by ALOT. Also, I was running on a Psyker which wasn't working out. I used the better axe, on a zealot, with brutal momentum, and it has gone from "why am I torturing myself?" to "This is usable without being in pain irl."
save all your melk coins
No, I'd save those coins for good Tier 4 blessings you wanna grab
it's not worth it to spend any of the crafting resources or weekly currency on weapons atm because base rating is too low and will get outstripped by the time you get a couple more levels
only when you're level 30 that's when 350+ base rated weapons and tier 3/ 4 blessings start to appear, then it's time for gear grind
Fellow rejects could I get some opinions on which is the better sword ? Cant really decide lol
Both are good. I personally would go the one with the left
Melee damage perk is redundant on the right but its not a dead Power Sword
Iād go left. Itās more flexible and I like having a lot of Mobility on PS
and it has a flexible perk/blessing
I got the game yesterday, loving the Zealot so far, watching some videos but still kind of unclear on something,
someone told me I should not spend any money until I'm max level, of course I know about the transcendent items, etc,
my question, what is the general recommended progression path when it comes to gear? just keep quick playing until I figure it out?
I got the weeklies done yesterday š
It isn't about not spending money, but save your crafting resources for when you hit level 30, because then you'll have access to better blessings and proper equipment. Contract credits should also be saved for when limited time acquisitions have good Tier 4 blessings you want to grab.
Generally as you level up, just play the game and use ordo dockets to buy equipment you want as their stat distribution potential will increase as you level up.
About transcendent equipment, do you recommend buying it or "crafting" it? I quoted "crafting" because I have an understanding on how it works
if I were to look for an analogy it reminds me of grades of weapons in Nioh, where you can change some of the attributes to fit your build, etc
For field use? Crafting will typically get you something good (if you're lucky of course). Buying from Melk is mostly used for grabbing Tier 4 blessings that we don't have, like the elusive power cycler 4 for the power sword.
I did get a godly heavy sword from Melk once though.
This is on acquisition, of course I cannot get it now because it would require at least 2 weeklies but just to get an idea:
I'd skip on it. It has tier 2 blessings and sub-level 30 stat distribution
how can you tell? just curious, for me the rating and other stats mean very little at the moment, as in; my understanding
does my current level affects what I see?
As you level up, the potential modifier score will go up, yeah. At level 30 you'll start seeing Tier 3-4 blessings at Melk's shop
so, TL&DR; conclusion would be, wait for Lv30 for Melk and is OK to buy from armory exchange as I go?
And thanks for your answers, really appreciate it š
Level 30 for crafting and Melk (unless he's got a good Tier 4 blessing to grab) and armory exchange is fine
Also fun fact you can have multiple characters and each of them have their own weeklies but a shared Melk Bucks pool
zealot main here, any tips to git gud as vet? I can't consistently land headshots
and it's mega-tilting to keep breaking out of focused fire to melee down random poxwalker spawns behind me
dodge slide the random stragglers
thats quite sad that there isnt a propper reporting system for stuff like that but tbh if im doing the barrel stuff im not better than the guy im talking about.
can someone explain what the actual difference is between these "audio mix presets"?
and which one helps me hear specials better?
headphones btw
Night mode get crazy.
Does high cleave allow you to do more damage to every target, or is it only hitting more targets? Cause with how the damage goes down, I feel like with high cleave the last few hits would do next to nothing
Have not tested, but there is a stat on devil's claw sword called "cleave damage" allows you to deal more damage when cleaving thru multiple enemies. Able to cleave like 4 extra targets with 70% damage
I get that, Iām just talking about cleave targets- as far as I know, anything that just says ācleaveā without specifying damage or targets is just more cleave targets
Ye, does not say damage, on cleave target tooltip.
More specifically Iām thinking of power swordās sunder blessing, which gives 400% cleave. Iām mainly using it cause apparently it goes through bulwark shields and crushers, but I dunno how much damage itād be doing after
No idea. I'd do a search on the blessing in discord
Fair enough
400% extra cleave, I'd wonder if it's possible to fit that many enemies in a small area enough for you to hit around 12 in one swing.
my veteran got blessed today. Not sure if I should change a perk or leave them as is to be able to change the blessings whenever I want?
You donāt really need two Crit blessings, so I would change Crucian to Handcannon, and Crit damage perk to either Unarmoured or Maniac
I'mn using the revolver as Zealot, I love it, it feels so good
I guess its sinergy is good when the cylinder empties, then melee dmg goes up, etc
but I'm still a newbie so ...
Can curios come with +2 wounds or is it limited to +1?
Wound curios can only currently go up to +1 wound
hey I took a break for a few months. Anyone got a line on which class is busted atm and which ones are underpowered
lookin for a faceroll build to play
Explain, is this a negative?
No, how are you interpreting it?
"Your brain rapture", wouldn't it be "enemy's brain rapture"?
Brain Rupture is your ability
alright, I get it now, is the ability that will blow up brains faster š
ye olde head popper
can anyone help me farm gold coins?
LFG channels can help, maelstrom and auric missions tend to give the most dockets
Anyone got a link to a guide for Malleus Monstronum for a good build?
can anyone help me do orthus campaign secret hard mode?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8xwT9hBPK0&t=1s Making the darktide version off the Standard infantryman's primer. In this video, I go over every single melee weapon available to veterans and only lost about 20% of my sanity in the process. Turns out, most of the melee weapons are pretty good if you learn the moveset.
It's about time someone made the Standard Infantry Man's Primer, it might as well be me! Kidding aside, this is the largest video project I've done to date. We're looking at EVERY melee weapon available to the veteran class and evaluating their strengths and weakness, and what blessings and perks benefit each the most. In part two, we'll be look...
Is there a setting to turn on so teammate kills count toward weekly melee contract or is that a myth? Only my kills seem to count
Team mate kills count towards your melk quests. Sometimes, you will get games where not many dreg/scab enemies spawn, so it can seem like you're not getting many kills. But it is not a myth. You can run through mission never firing a shot and still get ranged weapon kills.
Okay thanks!
What constitutes a Salvo?
When recoil begins to when it resets.
That span of time is one salvo.
Hey everyone I've been having a lot of issues with this game. I recently bought and my game experience has been very unsteady. Either I get a smooth fantastic experience or the game lags to all hell, the music cuts off randomly or the servers boots me off. I have no problems with any of the other games I play it's really just this one. I have an RTX 2060 and my system meets all the min requirements if not more. Is there anything I can do to make this game works smoother? Or are these issues normal? I'm asking because when I googled this problems I got some hits but they were mostly from April 2023 and figured they were patched. Any help will be greatly appreciated! If this is the wrong channel for this lmk I'll post this elsewhere.
stuterring or rubberbanding?
rubberbanding is connection issue,
for stuttering can try reduce worker thread, disable rtx, reduce to low-med , reduce corpse ragdoll , disable steam overlay
Stuttering mainly. But it's so random like I said previously it doesn't happen every game session. Sometimes it works perfectly well!
What's worker thread? Is that an option on the settings?
on launcher
disable steam overlay also very helpful dunno why game run smooth after i disable it for Darktide
I'm sorry where is this FSR option? Is it on launcher as well?
FSR on setting i think thats for AMD user
nvidia have DLSS
but i disable it because it looks potato and doesnt help my fps
Ahh ok I can probably find it in the GeForce experience.
Thank you I'll try these options tonight!
You could change the Ray tracing settings in the user setting config file
what do I do with this on zealot?
shoot things
As for stuttering try to disable in-game portrait rendering - somewhere in the interface options. This helped me immensely
Can someone help me earn ājust a flesh woundā with my Zealot, please?
The LFG channels would be your best bet
does crouch walking help in not alerting close proximity DH?
Unsure if crouching helps but sprinting does alarm it easier
Only the 3rd page change (oldest one)
ah cool beans
Time for some real pro gamer stuff:
Has anyone got a good method for sorting loot? Are there any mods that let you categorise or something like that? My inventory is becoming full of weapons that have pretty good stats but I don't have the resources to upgrade them all to find out if they're worth keeping, right away. It means the macro gameplay loop is do a few missions, then spend ages in menus and alt-tabbing to cross reference with builds - and no longer is it in the hopes of a slightly better weapon, its in the hopes of decluttering my inventory. Thoughts? 
sell everything
if it can be used for a blessing then do that and sell everything else
i promise you will never return to the 79% all around grey gun in the bowels of your inventory š
No way to manually categorise your equipment, but there's the "Item Sorting" mod and the "My Favorites" mod to help. I also like using "Inventory 2D" and "Name It" to keep track of my equipment
Favourites and naming sound great. That oughta help, thanks. 
is it just me but the sound is a bit off? I have it on stereo headphones and sometimes the direction feels rather too close or something
I have changed it to just stereo to see if there is a difference
Audio has been a more noticeable problem since Traitor's Curse Part I came out
Which unique weapons per class would you say are a keeper? for example:
- The Zealot 2 handed chainsaw but not the flame thrower, its ADS takes too long
- The Psyker sword also feels good when the skill is used to deal with some elites but the staff I find it very situational, specially if I have psyche darts
I'm a hand canon fan so I'm using a hand canon for both Zealot and Psyker, for the psyker I don't use it much unless I want to trigger some critical for another passive š
Another question, I'm making my way to Lv30, as a general rule, I'm selling everything I get except for the stuff I use,
should I pay attention to blessings and stuff? and if so, what do I do with it then?
if i earn a blessing for my mk13g chainword, will the blessing be available for the other kind of chainsword? or just the mk13 specifically
yeah it'll be shared with the other assault chain sword, but not the 2 handed chain sword
earn any and every blessing that you don't have, it'll have a little magnifying glass icon on it if you don't
Also, you can share blessings between classes that can access the same type of weapons
Like the one-handed Chain Swords for Zealot/Vet/Psyker
I can see the magnifying glass, how do you earn the blessing?
I got it now, I just earned one, thanks for the tip
when you join a quick play and go straight to the failed screen š
is there a bug with the skill tree for adjacent skills? for example, if I get the critical chance, it consumes a skill point but the line between the two doesn't light up:
Usually not, but i've seen it happen like that too, if you close the screen and open it up the connection line will be there, so the skill was picked
So ye, just a visual glitch i'd guess
Quick Question: If I change out a perk and a blessing, and it locks the other two perk and blessings out, can I modify those same perks and blessings again and again?
Yes modified perks and blessing are freely changeable
does "chained hit" on Shred blessing mean multiple hits on the same target?
can be different targets
just no misses
you can block and shove nowadays since they made the chained/repeated hit blessings condition more lenient with patch 13 or so
and you can swap off as well and back
which blessing do i keep?
i normally use savage sweep... but never wrath before
not sure between the differences
Wrath IV looks like itāll be getting you 20% more overall cleave on hitting five enemies while still giving you bonuses for hitting less then the other perk
And I donāt imagine youāll ever need just under 400% cleave lol, so personally Iād switch out savage sweep
oh yea, i was going to switch out 1 or the other
i was wondering whether ot keep savage sweep or wrath
words burn into my soul everything I recall someone saying āthe nitty gritty modifiers only matter to youā
like dam I really did just roll 2mil for +2% on my already stacked sword
Canāt even tell if it didnāt have the number to show me it
isnt there a hardcap on cleave anyways?
I wouldnāt doubt, I hear a lot about diminishing returns all over Darktides stats
Too technical for me to know for sure at least lol
i mean ... theres two types od "diminishing returns" taht people talk about
the one which is not really DR is when certain stats stack multiplicative as opposed to additive ... which means stacking a 2n buff with 10% increase on an already active 10% buff would give you 11% (10% of 10%) as opposed to 20% (additive)
the other is "true" diminishing returns which is more about opportunity cost
like going from 10% critchance to 20% critchance on your character is alot more effective than going from 70% to 80% critchance, thus making the latter 10% increase much less valuable than the first
Numbers give me ogryn brain
its pretty much about "what other stat could i get instead of this one that provides me more for the same cost"
a great example of this is that in WoW stacking critchance past 30-35% becomes less powerfull than stacking AttackPower instead for the same price of itemLevel
but before that value stacking critchance is more cost effective
the same concept applies to Darktide ... you would just have to make the math to figure out where the changing points for the stats are
(or wait for someone smarter to figure it out and throw it online) ^^
i doubt there's a hardcap on cleave besides technical limitations
e.g., patch 12 brutal momentum not properly hitting all enemies if you spawned 200 enemies on top of each other
i keep hearing people say that Cleave has a hardcap at like 80% or 120% or something ... which would make alot of the cleave blessings significantly weaker
i've never heard that except with respect to rending%, which does indeed have a hard cap
at the very least, the hard cap for cleave must be at least 400%
when i say hardcap i mean a cap on additional cleave increase btw
yeah I know
i tested with wrath with some other cleave blessing and that worked properly
so your weapon can have whatever cleave value but you can only increase that value by like 80% or whatever ... at least thats what i occasionally hear people proclaim
unless they changed that with patch 14 and beyond, i doubt that's the case
but you know ... proclamations and all ... gotta take it with a grain of salt xD
since i did some testing with wrath and some other blessing on the psword and hit 36 groaners (which now have 1 hitmass, and the psword has ~11 base cleave on activated attacks)
so let's say that, should a hard cap exist, it is at least 300%
to be fair ... theres only so much you can cleave with your weapon anyways ... the main limitations are actually the swing arc of your weapon and the amount of enemies that can physically stand i nfront of you .... so
and the amount of enemies the game can physical run at you aswell i guess
Yeah youād never realistically need that much lol
like ... when are you realistically ever gonna have 40+ poxwalkers in range for a single psword swing
when is recommended to go for heresy difficulty? I'm Lv25 at the moment
if you feel like malice is becoming a breeze and can reliably clear it, move up
there isnt really a level that is ideal to move up, its more of whether you think you have a good enough foundation
Is there a way to turn off crossplay?
Xbox icon doesn't necessarily mean you are playing with Xbox players, is most likely PC gamepass, the game is free there
xbox players can turn off crossplay, PC cant 
are more wounds removed in the max threat level?
you only have 2 health segments on heresy and damnation yeah
big question right here. what in the world is a salvo and what does the related blessings do?
if you add more health segments, are they removed? like the ability from the Zealot for example?
you can still get bonus wounds, you just start out with less
I'm divided between these two, hammer vs "greatsword"
both of those are not great and you should replace them once you get lvl 30
oh yes of course, I'm just getting a feel for each weapon type as a Zealot
ah
more of a moveset concern
well for the TH you have there just spam heavies into horde, use the special for single target damage
the hammer was super useful against super big guys but bad for waves clearing
evis you just spam Heavy1>light2 or Heavy1 block cancel
the new evis is simpler with light spam for hordes and heavies for single target
I still prefer the old evi. It's got a really nice mobility combo: push attack, heavy, light, light. The new evi is simpler to use, that comes with a price: mobility.
You also get a cleaving powered up heavy horde attack if you want. It doesn't stick to non-armoured enemies when activated and heavy attacking.
I just mastered the hammer on heresy threat level
heavy, dash back, repeat, block, etc
why there is a penance with private game? š
Not sure, it's a really old one. Not too hard, just a pain to do.
Mk 2 hammer is pretty fun. Downside is the powered up heavy "bounces" off of the first enemy it hits. Easy moveset, not great mobility. If you buff movespeed in the talent tree and use "fury of the faithful" with timed heavy attacks it can be really fun.
zealot penance is throwing the game before it changed to private
That's a good point, it's pretty rude to try to drag a team through that without warning. You've got to play it pretty ridiculously aggressively.
gotta learn to do that
But so far here is my build:
I should get punishment instead of the last on the right side 1st
You can use the ability at any time and it doesn't interrupt your current action -- so you can charge up a heavy and then use "fury of the faithful" to charge into a mob. It works pretty well for chasing down bosses, elites, and specials when you want to hit them with a charged heavy with either a hammer or an eviscerator.
That's very close to what I use as a build, looks good! š
I also have the bleeding on crit, so my build is a bit of everything that helps melee
I don't go with extra wounds. I would keep it until you are comfortable giving it up. The new health thing will fully heal 25% (I think?) or the next full wound, so I just run 2 wounds to take advantage of the extra healing.
Restoring Faith?
I have 19k Melkbucks, should I buy Unknown Defensive Curios from him to farm curios, or is that a waste of melkbucks?
oh, similar healing to hunt showdown? as in, many small bars bad when using a syringe?
Yup, exactly.
this game has so many little things from other games š
impact reminds of The Surge, where impact destroys armor
but the whole system is very interesting
it makes sense
I run bleed on my knife builds. I think crit proc'd abilities benefit heavily from really high attack speed. It's not a bad thing to use bleed on a slower weapon, so long as you are finding it benefits you.
I'm always charging and rushing with melee, my gun is just a very high damage and very accurate hand canon to deal with snipers and very far enemies
Fatshark has learned and added a lot of cool stuff from other games. The mechanics of Darktide are pretty sweet IMO as a result.
I empty its cylinder and just go melee, reload it when I can š
Nice, the revolvers are a lot of fun!
The new revolver is pretty fun as it has a speedloader and a lot more ammo.
I like complex builds, so for example, veteran class doesn't interest me, I'm only playing Psyker and Zealot
Gotcha.
You can make some pretty funny vet builds. I've got a grenade build that I've been enjoying.
I like the charged sword from Psyker to deal with certain enemies, but I suspect it may not work very well on higher threat level
I'm not a psyker main so I can't comment too deeply on Auric Dam stuff with the psyker.
For Dam it works pretty well IMO.
My idea is to main both a Zealot and Psyker, but no more than that, otherwise the missing out weeklies is going to trigger my OCD š
Damn weeklies eh? Honestly the reward for them isn't super important. The main thing Melk sells is actually the Blessings for the weapons and not really the weapons themselves.
In terms of weapon crafting the thing that you'll always be short is probably going to be plasteel.
I'm looking forward to the crafting update whenever Fatshark decides to get around to it.
Has spatial/enemy audio been really bad for anyone lately?
it's gotten gradually worse over the last few patches
Better than ever IMO. It's been very easy to follow specials and track mobs approaching by footsteps.
Maybe Fatshark has tuned the audio for certain setups at the expense of others?
what difficulty do you play on? the audio is generally okay until you get into histg/auric other than the odd silent burster and sniper
I play a lot on heresy -- I will play auric damnation and damnation depending on the level of chill I'm looking for. I'll sacrifice some sweaty shirt changes to see what it's like for me auric dam tonight.
I would not be surprised to learn that the game has not been optimized audio wise around auric damn yet. There is a lot of volume of a lot of things and I really have no idea how the game ques up the audio warnings.
It's a problem that compounds as further patches are released without server restarts.
Happens fairly consistently.
There's audio level issues where certain sounds end up taking priority.
Question; Ive been reading guides and stuff, and knives are often recommended (catachan VI combat blade for example) but they dont seem very good? Low damage, short range, no cleave, etc. Is theres something im missng?
what guide ?
Hello i am having trouble modding the game. It give me the error message
Error patching the Darktide bundle database. See logs
I have installed mods on my other pc and it had zero issues. Can someone please help me because the nexus page is not helping
On damnation and auric damnation they have a lower top end damage output IMO. You gain mobility, but you lose some clear speed. For auric damnation clear speed is pretty important.
I like knives, they are fun to play. They've got a good crit rate and a good crit damage multiplier. I would recommend focusing your build on crits to get the most out of knives. I'd recommend modding in the scoreboard and seeing what sort of damage you are actually doing with one before bringing one into an auric damnation game. If the numbers look good -- well -- power to ya.
ty š
This sounds like a question for the modding server in #šcommunities .
sparky!
I gotta recommend asking those wizards in the psyker chat. That's not a build I'm familiar with. Apologies!
Good luck! Have fun stabbing!
Level 20, have not gotten to use a T-hammer yet, is this worth picking up[? I dont know what stats are good on T-hammer (the normal money, not the contract coins)
Hammers are a bit of a learning curve as they take away a lot of mobility in exchange for good stagger. I wouldn't really worry about getting a build specific hammer at level 20. Try it and see what you think -- or -- just keep using other stuff. T-hammers are very useable on damnation -- they're very tough to use well against the volume of enemies you'll fight in auric damn.
That T-hammer has an very simple moveset and all around decent damage. The charged attack bounces off of the first enemy it hits.
and it also bounces the enemy
Did they change that one?
Not sure? I tried one last week though and i swear i ragdolled a few of those heavy armour guys with it
It's good. If you hit trash before the elite -- it'll bounce on the trash.
The mark 4 will cleave.
Well you have to crump the right one. Though im not sure which mark it was now š¤
So this one doesnt cleave? Just for the bigguns is it?
Mark 4 has a bit more of a complicated moveset and it cleaves when powered. Mark 2 is easier to use -- but it bounces.
Lemme test it, I'm fairly certain they moved the strikedown on the mk 4 to being the push attack. That attack has very decent damage.
Yeah. It's not the push attack, if you heavy attack as a non-push attack after a block it cycles the strikedown attack to be used 1st instead of 3rd. That attack is nonsense powerful.
Long short: Crucis Mk2 easy to use, powered attack will not cleave through unarmoured non-elite enemies.
Ironhelm Mk4 more complicated moveset, powered attack will cleave through hordes. Has a big overhead strikedown swing easily available.
And you can still 1 shot a damnation beast of Nurgle with a properly built t-hammer of either kind. You give up a lot to do that -- but -- you certainly can.
can someone explain mutie behaviour
when does he do what action
it seems like when he isnt surrounded he will not do the slam and just toss you, but that isnt consistent
I have a shout spam vet that has really good horde clearing melee but my ranged options are atrocious.
Whats the plasma gun meta
grab -> slam 2-3x -> throw
Blessings/perks
if mutant grab you near corner or wall he wont slam just throw
I have the Columnus but it chews through ammo like shit and the hellbore is fun but I canāt get used to it
blaze away /gets hot /shattering impact
Maniac /flak/ Unarmoured

does the poxburster have a weakpoint? I feel like i've never had an orange hitmarker against one before, even with brain burst...
Should be head according to this site: https://darktide.gameslantern.com/enemies/poxburster Doesnt brain burst oneshot them anyway?
yep, but i was more referring to the fact that even though brain burst is supposed to be an auto weakpoint hit, it still shows up as a white hitmarker
are you playing damnation?
i think its 2 bb to kill in damnation
disregarding buffs and stuff
nah I've brain bursted poxbursters without them dying before
Anyone willing to help with penances?
Does blessings like Dum Dum and Fire Frenzy apply the Close Range dmg buff overall to include melee, or is it just the weapon itself?
blessings only apply to the weapon currently being used
well they should
sometimes they bug out
For the earlier conversation about audio, it feels off, I have a Sennheiser headset, not the best, not worst, but I have "seen" much better spatial audio on other games, don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying the game, plays nice on my 3070ti with high graphic settings, etc etc, but I wish the audio was better
I don't know if the audio got better or worse, is just my impression as a 3 days player š
I feel like it lacks information on the depth and distance where things are coming from, if is from below or above or how far things are
The one audio I praise a lot is the one from Hunt Showdown, but they focus on stereo because audio is crucial in that game, sometimes you shot penetrable walls base on the sound cues, etc
Maybe this game focused on 5.1 or 7.1 rather than having a perfected basic stereo, spatial placebo sometimes is better if done right in stereo than in any other fance X.1 š
Anyone else have these super laggy games that will eventually kick you out of the game with error 2001 and 2004? I have this happen everynow and then. Tried getting into a game for an hour straight and everything is just lag then dc, but other times it works
Not sure if this can help, go to your terminal and see if there is a better region, or pick the next best region based on your ping:
if your problem continues then it may be on your side
If only my speedtests on ookla and cloudflare weren't saying everything's ok
Already tried switching across the different asia servers
Sometimes ISP has issues connecting to a specific data center, even if your internet is OK
Remember latency != bandwidth
It's absurd how it's fine in onr game then when you hit that certain time every game is suddenly unplayable
Yes low ping no jitter no packet loss
Is this game allowed to use Auto hotkey? My little finger went numb for 15 days and counting from stressed out mouse hand
Play Zealot with Hammer, and just hold charge š
So, once you reach Lv30, how do you start getting your end-game gear? what do you do progression wise?
Farm crafting resources and money. Get a good base weapon from brunt's casino in the armory and upgrade it to hopefully get good, usable rolls on your weapon
samething has been happening to me since yester, during the october talent tree patch everything was alright but now I cant even enter a game without lag then the eventually dc and error code 2001/2/3/4
so after 120h playtime my question: what is and good base weapon iyo and how to get a good one at that
they probably meant getting a 370-380 rating white weapon which is generally considered a good base weapon
and you get one buy buying lots of the same weapon and hoping one of them gets a good roll
i mean my main shield has iirc 379 isch rating witch i upgradet to the best colour
but good tools arent shit when you having skill issue
any mods for reducing ping spam?
LessAnnoyingPing on nexus mods
thank you
At Lv30, I bought this weapon, is there something I can do with it crafting wise?
bad perk bad blessing, this is a wash
The ideal you're looking for on the mk 2 evis is rampage + savage sweep for blessings, both at tier 3 at least
then flak + maniac / carapace / elite
rampage because it's the single biggest power (and therefore damage, stagger and cleave) boost out of all evis blessings, savage sweep for cleave so that damage goes through more dudes
flak is the most common armor type in the game, and the second perk can be specified towards the specific enemy type you want to be more adept at killing, maniacs for mutants/ragers, carapace for maulers/crushers, elite for the big enemy ogryns in general as well as the full auto enemy gunners
but in a vaccum, that base rating is incredible, and those are some great rolls into damage, penetration and shred, so if you could find another evis with a similar statspread but better tiered correct blessings you're golden
Understood, I want 3 weapons for my Zealot for now, a hammer, an evis and a hand cannon, the high precision one, I'm going to get my Psyker to level 30 now then watch some videos on how to start spamming the crafting system, without much knowledge I would be just wasting money
as a thammer player of over 1000 hours I heartily support this choice
š
it's in my of course biased opinion the best zealot melee, scaling with difficulty, meaning the higher you go the better it gets
it requires you to git gud but is very satisfying
because enemy hitpoints start getting bigger, and there are also difficulty modifiers like monstrous specialists that spawn 20-30 bosses in a game, meaning that a thammer does so much for the team's action / ammo economy by taking out a big ticket unit in a single hit versus a dozen hits or a few mags of bullets
it also brings some Nostalgia fashion looking from Warhammer online š

Scrier's Gaze vs Venting Shriek?
venting for safety, scierss for damage? no idea
A lot of personal preference and some weapon choice
Shriek is pretty much not a thing if you're mainly using a gun, a non-force melee or not really using your blitz
Hey! Could somebody help me ? Which weapon would you choose ?
Is there a way to find out which blessings can be found at the armoury exchange? Can any of them be found?
Can anyone help me out. i just joined and i was hoping to get some help leveling on higher ters. I play on xbox and my xbox name is needycentaur727 and my dt account is just nate
The LFG channels would be your best bet
I was trying to use the unique Psyker sword but its stamina is ridiculous, or at least the one I have, it lowers stamina bars to 3 bars (from 5 I think),
which weapon you recommend for Psyker to melee when overwhelmed?
Illis Force Sword? acts like the power sword from the vet, so the special doesnt just hit one target but makes a full sweep
kinetic deflection usually helps along with that
force swords are one of the worst weapons for blocking, but they are also the best weapons for pushes, as they have a push that is equivalent to 2-bar pushes despite it costing 1 bar, so it's not that terrible in terms of stamina stats
melee is usually a foregone conclusion if you're overwhelmed by ragers and the like, so i'd grab something like the purg or trauma if melee elite patrols are posing a problem
This but kinetic deflection
Psyker's ridiculous stamina delay makes it so that you can essentially separate your peril for blocking and stamina for pushing
I completely forgot I have kinetic deflection š
oh for this one the easiest target for it by far is the daemonhost
because in her initial prone position on the ground, it gives you a stationary target to walk up to and bludgeon over the back of the head
unlike all the other bosses that love wiggling all over the place and prevent you from getting a nice hit in on the weakspot
just make sure you are the only person approaching, and she dies in <1 second
Wolfer watching a crack addict priest giving the daemonhost a powerful backshot
what incredible phrasing
Daemonhost couldn't handle that powerful backshot
google and using mods
. there's reveal blessing mods it will replace the ? icon to real blessing icon
Are Auric levels harder?
they essentially have a shorter interval between spawns compared to their equivalent counterpart on the normal board
LF help to get Malleus Monstronum on my Psyker if anyone is available.
they are, although it feels quicker when waiting for the data-interogator to finish
probably because so much shit is happening you're not worried about it 
LF help to get Malleus Monstronum on my Psyker if anyone is available - maelstrom mission up that can help I think?
hey i got a +3 stamina qurio for my psyker but its not working in game, only works in psykanium
wtf
it gives me 2 stamina in a real game
yeah it has to be (iirc) at least 76 rating for you to actually get the 3rd stamina bar in game
either a bug or tooltip error
How the hell do I complete the over watch penance for the veteran class? This penance is nearly borderline impossible
i have only seen 2 stam curios never a 3 stam one, im starting to think they only drop through melk
it's just one of the rarer curios, like 17% toughness and 21% hp
those 2 are still less common though

What's the quickest and most efficient way to level up one's low-level operative these days? I've seen people leaving at the end of the Auric Maelstrom game (In a private lobby), changing back to their low-level operatives and joining back.
Any other notable suggestions? I do know of Quickplay-ing; it's efficient too.
Yeah you can do QP malice events from level 8 just fine usually at least I was doing that earlier today with no problems
Thanks, will consider that š»
My game performance is weird af right now on the level 4 events and higher.
I get drops down to 50fps from 80fps randomly and I have my GPU overlay on looking at cpu and GPU usage hovering around 30% and 50% respectively.
Its not just GPU, but CPU too... Are you running from an SSD or NVME? Malice+ generally has more and more enemies, so it needs more power. Alot of the options in the game show what they depend on and how much impact they have.
i heard turning down body ragdoll amount helps
Nvme
apparently portrait rendering makes a big difference to some people's performance
Thing is that turning down some settings actually makes performance worse I don't understand fully why
It's only becoming an issue on more difficult events and super noticeable
I have a contract that needs dregs kills, is there map with highest amount of dregs?
no, but the amount of them will increase with event difficulty
i had a 750 dreg kill contract and did it pretty fast on just level 4 events
by events do u mean those yellow special conditions? and if so where do u see what level are they?
yeah, i just mean the difficulty
so the bars on the right
that's malice difficulty the one im mentioning is the next highest difficulty
also remember that you don't have to kill them specificaly. it also counts if your teammates kill them too
oh awesome
and thank the Throne for that
There are two hammers types, which one is the best for Zealots? the one that has a light attack sweep or the one that the sweep has to be a strong attack?
I'm guessing is the latter?
Which force staff is the one that has like an ice windy skill? is that from the a staff right?
Or a better question, for Psyker if you were to use a force staff, which one secondary skill would you recommend?
Cpu bottleneck? Lower settings push the load more onto the cpu
Yeah that's what I thought, just weird because both cpu and gpu utilization is pretty low when I'm in events. I guess I'm just looking for the most "optimal" settings but it seems to really vary
Make sure on NVidia control panel you explicitly set the graphic processor to the GPU instead of auto, not sure if that will help:
Yeh I'll double check, ty
Depends, Ironhelm can be more comfortable to use as the powered sweeps can cleave through hordes and allow you to blast the specials/elites in the middle of them without bouncing off the first poxwalker.
The Crucis has higher 1-tap potential, assuming the powered swing doesnāt clip a trash mob during it.
please can someone help I have no one to team up with š„²
I mean Iād take it, personally
LFG channels can help you get a group together for it
Well if youāre going for boss blasting Iād put Thrust over Shock & Awe
Bosses are considered āunyieldingā enemies just fyi
Alright, my first endgame weapon, it will have to do until I get more money, gotta do something with ugly fashion as well:
Zarona vs Agripinaa revolver, the Zarona is the one that you can always ADS right?
For a Zealot, which should I change the last to?
Zarona is the ADS revolver yes
Curio perk choice is preference, but I like having health, sniper/gunner resist, and revive speed on mine. So pick whatās best for what youāre trying to do
The curio will be there until I'm done finding them I guess
I haven't tried the auric level, is it much harder than the standard? should I quick play that on heresy now that I'm ready (I think) ?
if you can handle damnation consistently, you should be fine with auric
it is harder yes, but its not a massive leap
So now that I started crafting, what's the point of the contracts currency? what's the best way to spend them?
They are pretty much just used to hunt for blessings in melk's shop
by getting expensive weapons or randomly getting a weapon?
The random shit is almost never worth it
worth for thrust?
That's up to you. I wouldn't because it's only lvl3
I was going to ask that, if it was worth at T3
But I also have 30k melk bucks
Got the rule of thumb, watch limited acquisitions for T4 blessings
Pretty much
Do you happen to know what's the icy skill I have seen on Psykers? the one that the left hand seems freezing enemies
There is none. Do you mean like crystal shards ?
No, I have that one, the 10 shards, I don't know if it comes from a staff, I know staves have the AoE explosion, the bomb launching and lightning but I have see some misty skill I don't recognize
There is Surge (electricity)
Purgatus (White Flamer)
Trauma (Explosion)
Void (Bowling)
Maybe the Purgatus ?
it must be the purgatus
what's your opinion on the Zealot Flame Thrower, I have seen others use it successfully but I find ADSing takes too long to activate and then your movement is so slowed down
I wish there was a way to test weapons you don't have on the meat grinder
Good thing weāve got brunt
I think the flamethrower is fun to use, but I find it more fun to go full crackhead into mixed hordes. Itās also limited in range so things get awkward when the room is just full of scattered gunners
yeah, that's why I have a high dmg hand canon for snipers and squishy far enemies, hammer vs hordes is what I believe is the way to go
Illisi vs Deimos, should Obscura be considered? apparently not
The long pullout time of the flamer can be mitigated by cancelling the animation with a throwing knife
Also I wouldn't really describe the hammer as a horde weapon
i'd actually swap off exorcist imo
riposte is more damage
exorcist doesnt do too much when you get value out of being at higher peril and managing that
Yeah I was thinking about that too
keep infected and riposte?
zarona is best tbh and yes ads is on it
remove infested and exorcist
Honestly just change both blessings
infested damage doesn't do a lot when illisi already cleaves like a motherfucker
exorcist is low value because remaining at high peril is good for damage and triggers
riposte and maniac is good because it's more damage, and it increases damage towards priority melee targets anyway
namely muties and ragers
what I should I replace infected with?
flak, helps deal with normal flak-armored dudes like the slightly more armored dudes + gunners
specialists as well
i hesitate to say carapace for crushers bc illisi, even with the special, barely does anything to crushers still
Done, end result for now, until I have more blessings:
deflector is actually pretty high value, blocking's good
obviously less offensive but not bad if you're just trying to get past basic heresy/damnation
what should curio's wise be the focus on Psykers?
check the pins in #psyker-class
steam guide, psyker atheneum, dissects this
3x toughness is my go to, sometimes a stamina
whats the max toughness you can get on a curio?
17
does speedloader close range kill work for melee kills
what does this icon mean?
aint that the coherency icon?
yea thats just another "this is the one in coherency"
thanks I though it was strike team icon for a while xD
do aura's stack? like ammo + ammo from two different veterans etc?
nay
aww
If you fail a mission do you still get credit for melk quest contracts?
Yes
Depends:
- for kills, yes.
- for grims/scripts, no
Overwatch penance help?
where do you guys look and search for good builds? what websites would you recommend?
Asking people in the class chats, mostly
Over there you can ask people why they recommend something
Little new to the game. Hit lvl30 a couple of days ago and kinda confused on what to do next besides doing high lvl matches. Any tips?
Why are some penances private game only?
to prevent griefing randos when you get into their squad with a sole purpose of completing those penances
But that gonna be hard to do, get private games
And why do people quit after getting the penances?
yeah you gotta queue up in LFG or get friends
Ay guey
Still, why not change penances instead of making them private? Just makes it harder for people
Farming gear so you can do high difficulties better, experimenting with different builds and yelling at people who don't pick up plasteel
time to min max your weapon
What to do after I got all the gear I want, all I do now is getting extra gear I don't use.
need help with Long Bomb
teammates are always ruining it when i throw grenades and killing the horde i throw it into
I keep getting one hit and I donāt know if itās connection issues or what
For example a group of shotgunners all shoot me at the same time and even if I dodge Iāll get staggered and knocked around like a pinball, then Iām downed.
Use shredder grenade, Invis Veteran and select missions with long range. The desert maps and Archivum are good picks for range. Have double invis and run ahead of teammates. Do not use upgraded Krak nade, its made to stick to enemies and cannot explode mid air.
Using chat to tell the team that you are trying to do the penance really helps. Most people are willing to let you aggro enemies first. Then you just need to keep on trying until you get the penance.
Hey! Is it possible to craft tier II blessing?
yes but you want to be at a lower level if you want to farm a certain tier 2 blessing
at max level you're just gonna spend a whole lot of resources for nothing
yeah, so I need to hunt it in the shop
That or farm it using Hadron
does Poxburster always reduce your toughness to 0? im wondering if i should stack health or toughness against poxburster cos i cant hear it or see it in a sea of horde
hello. any tips for a zealot's penance "there is nothing but the abyss"? My best score is only 24% out of 25% with a combat axe...
Whatās the penance details?
heal 25% HP by damage dealt after HP is 0
Could try the thunder hammer
any particular tips for this? I never tried to use any hammers yet, playing for 3 days only š
Tips for what specifically?
Done that before unintentionally lol
Health zeroed in a pox horde and i just kept swinging
It was either a chainsword or evis
What perk should I change on my power sword VI? I have 8% elites and 25% unarmoured, I can change one of them only. My blessings are PCIII (will upgrade to IV once it exists) and BMIV
Elite to flak
More valuable than maniac I guess? I'm pairing it with plasma because I'm a super unique individual :)
You can oneshot most special except mutant and rager
so plasma takes care of, well, basicly everything that's coming at me in numbers less than 4000 or so
And flak got more enemy variety
groovy, cheers
also PC 3 already decent enough because you only swing 2 light after charge
For elite the charged up push attack are disgustingly good
Yes, but have you considered, swinging a third time just for the sheer glory of the Emperor?
Weak Spaghetti arm can't swing horizontal 3rd time
it's ok, they're all corpses by that point anyway. Gotta swing downwards to be able to desecrate their body a little more anyway
I want to turn them into karking goo
Can get a group together in the LFG channels
Probably just read the #vox-lfg-lexicanum
join strike 1
Does Assassin mean anything for the weapon itself?
I was reading it means the weapon crit chance is higher if it has the Assassin property
It's stabs
What perks/blessings are the best for Plasma Gun? Also what should be the dump stat?
Perks can go for unyielding/cara/maniac, blessings are gets hot/blaze away/shattering impact
Check vet pins for ideal charge rate
This is what I got in response to the same question
Thanks yall š
Is plasma's damage still bugged based on charge rate?
Otherwise the charge rate blessing is really nice
I haven't seen anything in the patch notes about it so afaik it's still bugged nvm it was fixed in traitor curse part 2
is unlocking blessings weapon-specific?
It's been fixed.
It's noted in one of the previous patch notes.
Earned blessings are shared within weapon families. i.e. All Kantrael Infantry lasguns, Accatran Recon lasguns, etc. with exceptions for psyker staves.
is there somewhere with all the families easy?
thanks š
anyone able to help with a penace
Is this... normal? I get the feeling there should be, well, not-blackness up there. š¤
map not rendering, give it a few seconds

It's basically like this every single time I play that map. š¦
This map fucking sucks
Way too long and snipers ignore terrain
Not worth the effort for the plasteel or difficulty unless someone is that crazy about sand
Is that the one with the funny sniper hiding underground a bit after the elevator?
You're goddamn right.
lmaoo
are weapon modifiers really limited to 80%? is there any case in which they go over that?
not at the moment, no.
there's a lot of speculation why it's like that, but no official info.
and no better way to get high stats other than just rerolling at brunt's?
basically no. although you can set up a browser extension and just monitor an hourly item shop, good stuff comes up occasionally.
ah, didn't know that was global
no, it's personal. per character.
i must have done over 100 rerolls to get this, at this point i think trying for something better is just not feasible
welcome to the club. getting good items isn't an option in this game.
it would be one thing if the stats didn't wildly affect how effective it is
they kinda don't. not wildly at least. skill is by far the greatest contributor anyway.
it's more of a feeling of having a neat piece.
or rather, lack of it.
well, the difference between 50% and 80% warp resistance is like 5-6 seconds of extra time continuously firing before i overheat
given that i've built it around building a lot of peril and quickly venting it with the shriek, those seconds do matter waiting for the cooldown
on one hand, yes. on the other, you still gotta interrupt flaming to look around, get your bearings, reposition, etc. in that time you vent while dodging, and return to flaming.
what if i look around, get my bearings and reposition while continuously flaming
so resistance stat is somewhat irrelevant in some playstyles.
having good stuff is good, admittedly, but it's really not that big of a deal.
i've learned to work around it for sure, it would just be a little nicer if it were higher
good quell speed helps a lot
imo warp resistance is a dump stat anyways 
Psyker has a lot of things that revolve around either building and quelling peril, or just having high peril. You donāt want 1% warp resistance but I feel like itās the least important one
That is fair, and that's why i ultimately ended up choosing this one stat-wise. It's just nice to have is what I'm saying
Is too much āStopping Powerā a detriment for Plasma Guns?
can I get banned for using the shirtless mod?
Other people can't see it, so no
As a general rule, are blessings or perks more important
is this any good?
The finesse is fairly low, I wouldn't use it
But if you have nothing better and want a mk4 to help you farm another, you could still upgrade it and use it until something better comes up
Are there any blessings that make parry even better on the Devilclaw swords
no
Damn
How do you scrap trash tier stuff in your inventory?
Give it to hadron for any blessings you don't have or barter it
does curio gunner DR apply to all gunners or just the ones that you can tag
just the ones you can tag
and reapers
gunner resistance does not count against shotgunners
are there guidelines on what mods are acceptable in online play? will they cause anticheat issues at all?
generally the mods on nexus and the modding discord are fine
oki
As long as you're not saying "vacuum capsule", you're good
is there a link for the discord somewhere
Is there any difference between High Intensity Auric Damnation and High Intensity Regular Damnation?
As far as I can tell, Auric board missions have a different pace at which āthreatā is applied, I.e., the AI director stops deploying units after stressful events have occurred for the players, like a lot of damage was taken or some of the party has wiped, to give players some breathing room and allow them to push into the next section(s) of the map without interruption from say, specials or horde waves
Auric makes threat either dissipate faster (ergo AI director starts deploying units quicker after a grace period), or itās harder to accumulate the threat by the players
Letās just say Iām on a server where there are people that actively read changes to the lua code and can answer questions in regards to it
high int damn is just greater spawn weight, auric damn is greater spawn weight with heavier specialist presence
Works for me
I had a feeling that something was different in regard to threat between the two boards*, looked for somebody asking the question on said server and found the answer there
Thanks
Hey managed to roll this was wondering what you guys recommend changing to get to make it better
lmao
oh wow this is a very nice columbus
yeah Dumdums already good
2nd blessing can be whatever you want to be honest, but the ones that add more damage would be Deathspitter, Fire Frenzy, and Raking fire
Punishing salvos really bad because not only you want to hit weak spots, youre forced to burst fire it when thats not what you wanna do with the Columnus
between those 2 perks switch one of those 2 for Flak 25% instead, doesnt matter much what perk is kept. I would personally keep that 8% weak spot damage
Thanks appreciate it!
Any way to find exact numbers of non-weapon damage? Assail, bleed stacks, etc?
And while we're on that subject, how long do bleed stacks last? I read somewhere that they are permanent but can't believe it.
If I destroy a chainsword to get the Wrath blessing, do i only receive it on other chainswords or on stuff like the eviscerator aswell?
Only on Chainswords
sadge. a chainsword with wrath IV and Savage Sweep III is probably overkill when it comes to cleave though...
so idk if its worth buying
Usually u want wrath + rampage on chainsword
which one of the two hammers has the highest charged heavy attack damage? i know hammers kinda suck but having fun is the most important thing right?
Cruxis is higher damage iirc
thx
Why are Plasteels not in sync with the other currencies? It's like 1 plasteel per 5000 ordo / 100 Dia. It's ridiculous for upgrading your items.
Am I missing something here? It feels like I can only upgrade one item per 100 games. Might be a little overexaggerated but come on.
Play damnation 1 match give 800 plasteel 
I am a level 29 1/2 Zealot. I have the blue sword, and the purple sword is in Sour Milk Store, should I buy the Sour Milk one?
Use Melk's shop to buy tier 4 blessings or really good weapons tbh
no
what does this mean, i see it change on some missions
The highest difficulty in which you completed that mission
ah
wait till lvl 30
buying from melk is mostly for Tier 4 blessing
thoughts?
Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but would anyone be willing to help me with that psyker penance? Malleus Monstronum
kantrael is funnier when you use scattershot and manstopper/flechette
Should I upgrade this more? (zealot)
what blessing am I looking for ideally?
Also, it got +20% carapace
look at zealot chat pins, it has a guide for every weapon
forgot about pins in the chats and wanted to see what the ogryns were pinning
