#

scoreboard?

hoary vessel
#

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

dull gust
#

whatever you say Russo with 100 kills only

hoary vessel
#

Go to driptide and say that

#

You’ll find an army of followers to back you

#

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?

hoary vessel
#

you can votekick if its a big issue

sour iron
#

There's a mod that shows levels iirc

#

Sometimes that lv10 is a good player just leveling an alt, though not always

deep wave
#

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

deep wave
#

do i get penalized for leaving if i dont want to waste 15+ minutes with underleveled players?

hoary vessel
#

manual

#

nope

deep wave
#

awesome

hoary vessel
#

you can just leave too

deep wave
#

okay that's good to know

hoary vessel
#

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'

deep wave
#

the majority is the latter tbh...

hoary vessel
#

but when you load into lobby thats a good time to decide

deep wave
#

people usually join me mid game

hoary vessel
#

ive seen lvl15 obvious smurfs clutch crazy moments

deep wave
#

under lvl 10 is just griefing. tbh

hoary vessel
#

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

deep wave
#

they were clearly new

#

damn

deep wave
#

where do i go to get the mod

hoary vessel
#

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

deep wave
#

do you mean Nexus mods, yea?

#

do you happen to know the name of the mod itself, sorry

#

ah the Numeric UI?

tranquil aspen

#

deep wave
#

P?

#

i have the numeric UI zip downloaded but i can't find instructions on how to install it

vocal nacelle
#

i remember someone post a vid link

#

or on youtube

deep wave
#

so its not just the zip then i have to install a ton of other things

vocal nacelle
#

there's other steps required but once you installed it ,updating the mod is pretty easy

deep wave
#

when the mods are installed do i need to have some 3rd party thing open when i run the game?

prisma wraith
#

no

deep wave
#

perfect

deep wave
#

i closed vortex but the mods dont appear šŸ¤”

prisma wraith
#

Did you deploy the mods then check them in the mod load order?

hoary vessel
#

only know from manual experience

#

but the mod order might have to be set in the specific note folder?

#

file*

#

if vortex isnt working

deep wave
#

i only have one mod i just want to see people's level in game

hoary vessel
#

press f4 in the game

#

while in the hub

#

anything?

prisma wraith
#

Do you have the mod framework

hoary vessel
#

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

deep wave
prisma wraith
#

mods are deployed and checked in load order?

hoary vessel
#

should work if enabled in game

deep wave
#

i deployed yeah but need to check maybe

hoary vessel
#

should be f4 in the game

#

when you open the basic menu you should have much more options

prisma wraith
#

it's just this window in vortex

deep wave
#

yeah just did that, thanks!

#

i guess my game needs a restart now that i did that

#

hm, f4 does nothing

prisma wraith
#

just open your Esc menu and there should be the mod menu now

hoary vessel
#

this why i do manual vortex makes brain goop

deep wave
#

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?

prisma wraith
#

no I close mine usually

# brittle pagoda where do i get an xp boosting curio from

You can gamble for curios with Melkbux, but it’s kind of a waste. The other two sources of Curios are 1) the hourly shop usually has 2 for sale, and 2) Emperor’s Gifts, which you might be able to game with the ā€œ+chance of curioā€ Curio Perk

#

You will have to consecrate curios to get the ā€œ+experienceā€ perk, because it is a Perk

#

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, wouldn’t some be taking next to nothing with high cleave?

deep wave
#

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 )

void forge
#

yeah you still get exp. even at level 30 the game still tracks how much exp you get

deep wave
#

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

azure star
#

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

prisma wraith
craggy minnow
#

rating is tied to character level only not owned rating, unlike vt2, so you dont have to worry about it

craggy minnow
#

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

azure star
#

sounds good thank you

craggy minnow
#

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

azure star
#

ok cool thank you!

jovial saddle
# azure star 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)

worldly heart
#

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

frosty shore
#

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

woeful root
#

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

frosty shore
#

but the bar isnt maxed out

#

is that just a graphical error

woeful root
#

the game just displays it like that, and we don't know when we'll get to reach 100 in a stat for now

frosty shore
#

ah

woeful root
#

it's quite a shame yeah

my staff sitting on 80 is a full bar, so wasn't sure. thabks for clarifying

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)

KEKW_ogryn im sorry what lvl 11 monstronum?

desert halo
#

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)

stoic iron
#

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

thank you

primal swallow
#

is auric T5 damnation the fastest way to earn dockets or is normal damnation quickplay still better?

stoic iron
#

auric is best for dockets and xp

#

and maelstroms

fervent ridge
#

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

stoic iron
#

yeah but auric damnation qp pays out like 3x the dockets

fervent ridge
#

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

fervent ridge
#

A tall ask in this economy

#

But sure, ignore everything I said if you have incredible teammates

vocal nacelle
#

same ish 25-35 min

fervent ridge
#

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

simple abyss
#

what? 3 good teammates?

#

yeah theres shitters, but it's not like you're gonna be losing ALL the time

fervent ridge
#

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

simple abyss
#

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

fervent ridge
#

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

simple abyss
#

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

fervent ridge

best you can do is blow up a barrel as they are next to it and take justice into your own hands

scenic field
#

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.

rigid wasp
#

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

scenic field
#

It seems like if I'm not hitting weak points consistently, I might as well be using a different weapon.

rigid wasp
#

That might be most melee weapons

vocal nacelle
#

name the weapon

#

Thunder hammer?

#

nvm i cant read, yeaa you need Brutal momentum

scenic field
#

What does Brutal Momentum do to help?

vocal nacelle
#

your axe will cleave to another target if you kill the first target on first hit

#

Hm ok, I'll try that out.

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

scenic field
fervent ridge
prisma wraith
fervent ridge
#

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

primal swallow
#

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

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,

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.

thin totem
#

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

prisma wraith
thin totem
#

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:

prisma wraith
#

I'd skip on it. It has tier 2 blessings and sub-level 30 stat distribution

thin totem
#

how can you tell? just curious, for me the rating and other stats mean very little at the moment, as in; my understanding

prisma wraith
#

The modifiers score at level 30 range from 300-380, and this is below that

thin totem
#

does my current level affects what I see?

prisma wraith
#

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

thin totem
#

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 šŸ˜‰

prisma wraith
#

Also fun fact you can have multiple characters and each of them have their own weeklies but a shared Melk Bucks pool

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

jovial gyro
still helm
#

I get that, I’m just talking about cleave targets- as far as I know, anything that just says ā€œcleaveā€ without specifying damage or targets is just more cleave targets

jovial gyro
#

Ye, does not say damage, on cleave target tooltip.

still helm
#

More specifically I’m thinking of power sword’s sunder blessing, which gives 400% cleave. I’m mainly using it cause apparently it goes through bulwark shields and crushers, but I dunno how much damage it’d be doing after

jovial gyro
#

No idea. I'd do a search on the blessing in discord

still helm
#

Fair enough

jovial gyro
#

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.

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

unborn niche

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.

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.

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? staregryn

hoary vessel
#

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 😭

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

#

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 šŸ˜‚
#

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?

fierce sable
#

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

stoic iron
#

yeah it'll be shared with the other assault chain sword, but not the 2 handed chain sword

fierce sable
#

cool

#

and painful

stoic iron
cold moon
#

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

thin totem
#

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 šŸ˜‚

thin totem
#

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:

jovial saddle
#

So ye, just a visual glitch i'd guess

worthy wigeon
#

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?

quick remnant
#

Yes modified perks and blessing are freely changeable

fierce sable
#

does "chained hit" on Shred blessing mean multiple hits on the same target?

woeful root
#

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

manic haven
#

which blessing do i keep?

#

i normally use savage sweep... but never wrath before

#

not sure between the differences

dense wadi
#

Wrath IV looks like it’ll 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 don’t imagine you’ll ever need just under 400% cleave lol, so personally I’d switch out savage sweep

manic haven
#

oh yea, i was going to switch out 1 or the other

#

i was wondering whether ot keep savage sweep or wrath

hoary vessel
#

words burn into my soul everything I recall someone saying ā€œthe nitty gritty modifiers only matter to youā€

#

like dam I really did just roll 2mil for +2% on my already stacked sword

#

Can’t even tell if it didn’t have the number to show me it

hollow flare
dense wadi
#

I wouldn’t doubt, I hear a lot about diminishing returns all over Darktides stats

#

Too technical for me to know for sure at least lol

hollow flare
#

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

dense wadi
#

Numbers give me ogryn brain

hollow flare
#

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) ^^

woeful root
#

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

hollow flare
woeful root
#

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%

hollow flare
#

when i say hardcap i mean a cap on additional cleave increase btw

woeful root
#

yeah I know

#

i tested with wrath with some other cleave blessing and that worked properly

hollow flare
#

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

woeful root
#

unless they changed that with patch 14 and beyond, i doubt that's the case

hollow flare
#

but you know ... proclamations and all ... gotta take it with a grain of salt xD

woeful root
#

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%

hollow flare
#

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

dense wadi
#

Yeah you’d never realistically need that much lol

hollow flare
#

like ... when are you realistically ever gonna have 40+ poxwalkers in range for a single psword swing

dense wadi
#

Give me 400% cleave on the knife

#

Then we’re talkin’

thin totem
#

when is recommended to go for heresy difficulty? I'm Lv25 at the moment

void forge
#

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?

thin totem
#

are more wounds removed in the max threat level?

woeful root
#

you only have 2 health segments on heresy and damnation yeah

glossy sapphire
#

big question right here. what in the world is a salvo and what does the related blessings do?

thin totem
#

if you add more health segments, are they removed? like the ability from the Zealot for example?

void forge
#

you can still get bonus wounds, you just start out with less

thin totem
#

I'm divided between these two, hammer vs "greatsword"

void forge
#

both of those are not great and you should replace them once you get lvl 30

thin totem
#

oh yes of course, I'm just getting a feel for each weapon type as a Zealot

void forge
#

ah

thin totem
#

more of a moveset concern

void forge
#

well for the TH you have there just spam heavies into horde, use the special for single target damage

thin totem
#

the hammer was super useful against super big guys but bad for waves clearing

void forge
#

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

main citrus
#

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.

thin totem
#

I just mastered the hammer on heresy threat level

#

heavy, dash back, repeat, block, etc

#

why there is a penance with private game? šŸ˜‚

main citrus
#

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.

vocal nacelle
main citrus
#

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.

thin totem
#

But so far here is my build:

#

I should get punishment instead of the last on the right side 1st

main citrus
#

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! šŸ˜„

thin totem
#

I also have the bleeding on crit, so my build is a bit of everything that helps melee

main citrus
#

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.

#

Yup, exactly.

thin totem
#

this game has so many little things from other games šŸ˜‚

#

impact reminds of The Surge, where impact destroys armor

#

but the whole system is very interesting

#

it makes sense

main citrus
#

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.

thin totem
#

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.

main citrus
#

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

main citrus
#

Gotcha.

#

You can make some pretty funny vet builds. I've got a grenade build that I've been enjoying.

thin totem
#

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

main citrus
#

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.

thin totem
#

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 šŸ˜‚

main citrus
#

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.

warped flint
#

Has spatial/enemy audio been really bad for anyone lately?

stoic iron
#

it's gotten gradually worse over the last few patches

main citrus
#

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?

stoic iron
#

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

main citrus
#

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.

#

Happens fairly consistently.

#

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

main citrus
#

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.

#

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)

main citrus
#

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.

west yarrow
#

and it also bounces the enemy

main citrus
#

Did they change that one?

west yarrow
#

Not sure? I tried one last week though and i swear i ragdolled a few of those heavy armour guys with it

main citrus
#

It's good. If you hit trash before the elite -- it'll bounce on the trash.

#

The mark 4 will cleave.

west yarrow
#

Well you have to crump the right one. Though im not sure which mark it was now šŸ¤”

#

So this one doesnt cleave? Just for the bigguns is it?

main citrus
#

Mark 4 has a bit more of a complicated moveset and it cleaves when powered. Mark 2 is easier to use -- but it bounces.

vocal nacelle
#

ironhelm cleave

#

crucis high single target

main citrus
#

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.

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 šŸ˜‰

#

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 šŸ˜‚

#

thank you

thin totem
#

At Lv30, I bought this weapon, is there something I can do with it crafting wise?

fervent ridge
#

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

thin totem
#

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

fervent ridge
#

as a thammer player of over 1000 hours I heartily support this choice

thin totem

fervent ridge
#

it's in my of course biased opinion the best zealot melee, scaling with difficulty, meaning the higher you go the better it gets

thin totem
#

it requires you to git gud but is very satisfying

fervent ridge
#

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

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?

jovial saddle
woeful root
#

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

rigid wasp
#

Psyker's ridiculous stamina delay makes it so that you can essentially separate your peril for blocking and stamina for pushing

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.

#

i heard turning down body ragdoll amount helps

stoic iron
#

apparently portrait rendering makes a big difference to some people's performance

deep wave
#

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?

i had a 750 dreg kill contract and did it pretty fast on just level 4 events

#

so the bars on the right

supple thunder
#

oh got it

#

#

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

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?

please can someone help I have no one to team up with 🄲

prisma wraith
#

I mean I’d take it, personally

prisma wraith
#

Well if you’re going for boss blasting I’d put Thrust over Shock & Awe

#

Bosses are considered ā€œunyieldingā€ enemies just fyi

thin totem
#

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?

prisma wraith
#

Curio perk choice is preference, but I like having health, sniper/gunner resist, and revive speed on mine. So pick what’s best for what you’re trying to do

thin totem
#

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) ?

fast urchin
#

if you can handle damnation consistently, you should be fine with auric

#

it is harder yes, but its not a massive leap

thin totem
#

is this blessing good?

#

So this would go on the Evis I see

fast urchin
#

not on mk15 evis

#

but on the mk2 evis yeah

thin totem
#

So now that I started crafting, what's the point of the contracts currency? what's the best way to spend them?

void forge
#

They are pretty much just used to hunt for blessings in melk's shop

thin totem
#

by getting expensive weapons or randomly getting a weapon?

void forge
#

The random shit is almost never worth it

thin totem
#

worth for thrust?

void forge
#

That's up to you. I wouldn't because it's only lvl3

thin totem
#

I was going to ask that, if it was worth at T3

void forge
#

But I also have 30k melk bucks

thin totem
#

Got the rule of thumb, watch limited acquisitions for T4 blessings

void forge
#

Pretty much

thin totem
#

Do you happen to know what's the icy skill I have seen on Psykers? the one that the left hand seems freezing enemies

quick remnant
#

There is none. Do you mean like crystal shards ?

thin totem
#

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

quick remnant
#

There is Surge (electricity)
Purgatus (White Flamer)
Trauma (Explosion)
Void (Bowling)

#

Maybe the Purgatus ?

thin totem
#

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

prisma wraith
#

Good thing we’ve got brunt

I think the flamethrower is fun to use, but I find it more fun to go full crackhead into mixed hordes. It’s also limited in range so things get awkward when the room is just full of scattered gunners

thin totem
#

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

void forge
#

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

thin totem
#

this is just my 1st crafted poor's man Illisi

#

melee crit dmg?

void forge
#

No Crit damage is bad

#

Infested>flak riposte>slaughterer

patent dirge
#

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

void forge
#

Yeah I was thinking about that too

thin totem
#

keep infected and riposte?

junior escarp
patent dirge
#

remove infested and exorcist

void forge
#

Honestly just change both blessings

patent dirge
#

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

thin totem
#

what I should I replace infected with?

patent dirge
#

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

thin totem
#

Done, end result for now, until I have more blessings:

patent dirge
#

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

thin totem
#

what should curio's wise be the focus on Psykers?

patent dirge
#

steam guide, psyker atheneum, dissects this

to prevent griefing randos when you get into their squad with a sole purpose of completing those penances

And why do people quit after getting the penances?

# rigid wasp need help with Long Bomb

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.

sacred elk
#

are weapon modifiers really limited to 80%? is there any case in which they go over that?

tepid skiff

not at the moment, no.

#

there's a lot of speculation why it's like that, but no official info.

sacred elk
#

and no better way to get high stats other than just rerolling at brunt's?

fervent ridge
#

Get real lucky from Gifts or Melks

#

Most reliable is still brunts gacha

tepid skiff
#

basically no. although you can set up a browser extension and just monitor an hourly item shop, good stuff comes up occasionally.

sacred elk
#

ah, didn't know that was global

tepid skiff
#

no, it's personal. per character.

sacred elk
#

i must have done over 100 rerolls to get this, at this point i think trying for something better is just not feasible

tepid skiff
#

welcome to the club. getting good items isn't an option in this game.

sacred elk
#

it would be one thing if the stats didn't wildly affect how effective it is

tepid skiff
#

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.

sacred elk
#

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

tepid skiff
#

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.

sacred elk
#

what if i look around, get my bearings and reposition while continuously flaming

tepid skiff
#

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.

sacred elk
#

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

still helm
#

Psyker has a lot of things that revolve around either building and quelling peril, or just having high peril. You don’t want 1% warp resistance but I feel like it’s the least important one

sacred elk
#

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 there any difference between High Intensity Auric Damnation and High Intensity Regular Damnation?

dapper shard
# twin bronze Is there any difference between High Intensity Auric Damnation and High Intensit...

As far as I can tell, Auric board missions have a different pace at which ā€œthreatā€ 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 it’s harder to accumulate the threat by the players

twin bronze
#

Is this confirmed somehow?

#

General anecdote of gameplay?

dapper shard
fervent ridge
#

high int damn is just greater spawn weight, auric damn is greater spawn weight with heavier specialist presence

dapper shard
#

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

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
