That's what I said 
At that point making every penance private only would be the way
I said it might as well be private cause apparently it only counts if you join right at the start and about 90% of the pub games i join are midway joins
Then i explained to him thrice that it's just a turn of phrase but he keeps focusing in on the details like some warped kind of bloodhound
Hence i suspect he might be autistic
That clear it up?
Lmao it's just a turn of phrase, which you consciously decided to link the definition of. Don't cry about it when I use your own definition to dunk on you
If you think you were dunking on me you are severely deluded
- Don't accuse people of being autistic.
- You should chill out
^
I have been nothing but polite yet slightly condescending
Calling people autistic isn't polite
You realise that politeness is like an opposite of condescension
You think it's an insult?
No, but it's still not polite.
I think it's very polite
Huh, maybe you're the one that can't read social cues
You want to ask a wardens for their opinion?
He very well answered my original question, so he's earned himself enough good will i'm pointing out a problem that might have been effecting him his entire life without his knowledge
Well the wardens will probably tell us to just shut up
With which, i bid you adieu
Had fun talking to you never want to talk to you again
how does the consecutive auric maelstrom penance work? Will it reset the counter if I go on a non-maelstrom mission?
It doesn't
You can do whatever you want outside of auric maelstrom, but you have to do 5 full (!) auric mael runs without dying in any of them
good to hear, cheers
Acoustic 🪕 
Anyone finished the scriers gaze penance and have any tips on how to get it?
i've just unlocked 'ministorum missionary' title, but it doesn't show up in my equip list. does anyone know why?
maybe claim it from hestia first
that i did.
also i can't add loadout slots beyond five for some reason. is that a limit? pretty sure i've seen more on streams.
ok, found out about loadouts. people with more of them have a mod.
What is the fastest hourglass mission?
they didn't seriously count muffling as changing player voice in the store right
Yep, they did.
So no, you have no way of knowing if the head piece you buy will distort your voice with a cool sound effect or just muffle it because the icon is applied to both types.
You're asking for too much.
is there any gameplay diff between a hi int on the main board and on the auric board?
spawn intensity increased
auric director have higher stress meter, less time for you to catch a breath, more horde and stuff
I see thanks
i dont know if its controversial but the new auspex reader mini game sucks ass
on auric
Hi a have q quick question do the puzzle on orthus offensive need to be done on damnation or i could do it on any lvl?
Any level
❤️
anyone having a hard time finding players for auric? wondering if network issue or game issue
Sometimes I’ll have permanently empty lobbies at peak hours, a restart fixes it for me
i guess they did release solo mode
Would anyone be interested in helping me with the zealot just a flesh wound lol?
Big struggling
bruv really thinks it was a slick clapback huh
what was their issue 😭
hehe
do i not have to get downed for "untouchable operative" or just not captured, cuz it says "without dying"
Dying is dying, being downed is not dying
What exactly counts towards this? Ive been trying to pay attention to each hound coming over and pushing them when they are sort of in the middle of the air or right in my face, and it hasn't been counting up in the past games.
Was 2/5 on A.S.S lagged and instantly died
any tips for the game not to absolutely blow itself up?
Bugged
The dog and poxburster penance are bugged currently
Hey fellas, how to avoid jumping instead of dodging? Does jumping happens when you try to dodge again too soon after a dodge? Thanks 🙂
Reread this whole interaction, YTA.
Typically yeah, what a lot of people recommend is to have your jump and dodges bound to separate keys. Shift is a popular one for dodge it seems
Good idea, thanks!
there's also this mod if you want to keep them on the same key, which always prevents sideways jumps https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/249
ouuuh awesome, thanks!
is this penance team wide? as in no one is allowed to trigger any for it to complete
Smoke is fun as hell
I thought it was going to be a complete asshole move to run it for the penances
But if you use infiltrate and smokes right you simply throw down
Suppressing a horde of gunners and other range guys while being 90% lower threat and having insane damage boosts as you’re point blank with a blade is some under hive ketamine addict type shit
auric maelstrom survivor - Do you need to go through without dying for the whole team or just your character?
just you
Hello, i'm in need of some assistance when it comes to gunners stagger. I find the stagger utterly revolting when i try to charge in with Zealot to get them out of the way and they just .. stagger you relentlessly. I guess i just want a quick rundown on how to not get staggered to oblivion, if it exists
shroudfield or stripped down autogun blessing
a small tip to always remeber is that running diagonally will make you dodge bullets. Even if that is you heading towards them
okey, i'll try that, thank you. it's just that it seems like people you watch just don't have the same issue
and i can't for the life of me figure out why
skill issue aside
strafing diagonally mixed with slides makes them miss pretty much every shot
as per #gameplay-help message
well yes, i do try that aswell..
Penance does it count on your account or one character?
any character and it fails if you die outside maelstroms too im pretty sure
all penances are account wide if thats what you're asking
can i ask about weapons here aswell? just joined the discord to try to up my gameplay generally
u can ask about whatever u want homie
okey, so, i've been trying forever to get flesh tearer IV, just buying and maxing and hoping to random into it and just.. playing/grinding
i'll assume there is no way to get past that
alright. rip
Aside from sprinting diagonal and sliding, zealots also have a node in the talent tree that nullifies staggers called "Thy Wrath be Swift" along the right side
It says melee but it apparently works against ranged as well
yeah Twbs is busted
thank you, i'm on my way to give it a go
I'd like to know as well
yes it is
need help with a good team for auric maelstrom
health damage always staggers you, if you're getting potshotted w/o toughness
all my homies love TWBS
honestly game changer
some would say its broken
ever been kicked by a flamer from across the room? i got downed by one cuz it deals a lot of damage
Ragers used to have undodgeable attacks
great is definitely a good way of putting it
if they miss its funny to see em kick the air over and over
true, which was cursed af
used to, kinda wish they did still. now theyre baby
Sometimes you get an awkward loop of a flamer kicking you and you getting guardbroken repeatedly
i've seen that, on very rare occasions
i was just fuming the other day and had to help honestly, hence came here. glad i did.
had to get help*
you can learn many a thing through this server i imagine
this good?
It doesnt matter ,just try all low level/stat weapon to familiarize
yeah, at the start rarity and blessings dont really matter
you can always use the psykanium to test things
Is there a guide on what perks are good on weapons? Everything is like 1% this, unyielding that. I just need clear info.
Depends on the weapon and characters
What weapon you want to know
Which weapon
for Ogryns we have the ogrynomicon, for Vets there's a guide pinned on their channel
Perfect. Thank you.
is the penance there is nothing but the abys for zealot bugged i have gotten but my buddy keeps healing more tyhan 25% of his hp but still doesnt get it
are you sure that he is healing more than 25%? because its capped at 25%
i've never really heard of people having issues with this penance in particular
so my audio just started cutting out mid mission. whenever i fire my gun, literally every sound turns off except bullet casings hitting the floor. I've been playing all day and it was fine and then out of nowhere it started doing it.
anybody know how to fix?
Looking for anyone up to do the atomas elite guard penance?
Take off the heal 25% talent right above your grenade
i saw him heal up to like a third of his hp bar so i assumed so but will inform him
gonna tell him that see if it works for him ty guys !
is anyone else not able to use text chat?
restart game, sometimes chat got bugged
i had issues with it when it was 75%
one time i even missed getting it because my health was maxed at 149 due to corruption, so it was impossible to regen 75% because i was 1 under :)
Just started playing Psyker after getting my Zealot and, more recently, Veteran to level 30. How do you head pop efficiently? When I hear the special trigger noise, I switch to head pop and get it charged in preparation. Is there a better handle for the skill?
id say post this question in psyker chat, more active there if you need a quick answer
You dont pre charge up your brain burst
Its slower, normal left hold works fine
If you want to brain burst build you want the venting shriek + brain burst branch that charge faster when you shriek
Also empowered psionic so you can chain brain burst elite free peril
Idk if this is the right section but does anyone know where to get crash logs? I'm getting CTDs incredibly frequently after this update with or without mods.
Any video settings threads somwhere on the server?
My game somehow runs worse with all of the video settings on low, maybe restarting the game is necessary for it to level out
#darktide-pics-vids pins by homelander
Or you can use the double barrier to have double the effect 🙂
hey is this worth?
Use whatever you like until lvl 30, that’s when you should start really looking for good weapons
certain talents you pick may fuck with it
but is it good ??
For now, yeah it’s fine
could i get a straight answer
Do not waste your melks on that
Garbo
that wasnt so hard
i literally told you to wait until lvl 30 
melk will not sell you any weapons worth using until level 30, and even then he'll mostly sell you stuff you want to rip level 4 blessings out of rather than something actually good
for now - yes, maybe. in long term - no its trash
thats why its hard to give a straight answer
if youre asking if melk merch is good or not then the straight answer is you wouldn’t even see a difference when using it
melk offers weapons that are identical to weapons you could potentially craft, so theres no reason to spend your melkbucks until you're level 30 and you're actually trying to put together optimal gear
Is it better to have curios that give health or toughness rather then wounds?
Wounds are a crutch outside of one specific set of zealot builds
The more wounds, the less health each wound is worth. At higher levels of play people usually have no wound curious, or one if they want to play in a more laid back manner
Alright thanks
Does revving the heavy eviscerator do anything when cleaving hordes?
Rev is single target
Revving will cause your next hit to perform a particular attack to the next target you hit while revved. It does not increase cleave.
Does this game still have the parry or "perfect block" mechanic of Vermintide? In Vermintide if you timed a block right you got 50 percent stamina loss reduction. I know about the Catachan sword parry special that is not the same thing.
i dont think so? there's no perfect parry related blessing except catachan
i mean is it still a core mechanic the vermintide blessing just made it reduce stamina cost 100 percent but without it perfect block was just a thing every weapon can do for 50 percent reduction
No. Blocking is either a "you are blocking or you are not" mechanic in DT2.
And the cost of blocking in terms of stamina drained when you block a hit is determined by the weapon's innate stat distribution at base.
darktide is much more dodge-oriented
dodges are ridiculously strong and blocking is fairly costly here
I saw some people give partially wrong info. The mk2 eviscerator does get more cleave when rev’d and doing H1. However, it will always stop on the first elite/specialist hits to shred it
I am uncertain about the mk15, but if it follows the same idea of mk2, rev’ing will increase the cleave of your L1 the same way, tho not worth it and less efficient
Im not sure it increases the cleave (it wouldnt be worth it for clear) but it does not stick into poxers (or i think basic bruiser types? Not sure) so you can catch certain enemies with the rev even in a pack
A useful example is revved light matador hit vs a mutant
Good to know thank you
it's very rare that you want to use the pre charge since it's so slow but using bb/shriek with kinetic resonance is how you make it good, you don't even need EP for it to be good but it guarantees a one shot on things like ragers, dreg gunners, dogs and poxbursters if you do use EP
bb with kinetic resonance and a blue stim gives you really good boss damage
how much hp do weaker Monstrosities spawn with in damnation auric?
weaker monstrosities have 40% hp compared to regular
Mk2 def increases the cleave you can do, h1 rev’d will go through more chaff than h1 unrev’d
The Mk15 will go from 4 targets damaged to 6 on revved light, it'll start shredding the 7th so dodge cancel
Does smoke grenade obstructs scab sniper's view?
Yes, they do now
If it doesn't, probably unfortunate smoke placement or bug
That is splendid, thank you very much for answering
not worth the price its a 239 only buy it if you want to strip the blessings
How do you start a private game?)
get another person
Have friends the hardest thing known to gamer kind
No. Have friends willing to play or buy darktide - that's the difficult part.)
True
is this build good? looking for a good flame sword build https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9ac0ca79-94d5-4ba5-8f12-a627e150eabe/briggsos-void-bowler
Thanks
Would anyone be kind enough to help out with this?
so, now stay with me here, say i played this game on controller: what would be the best button to rebind the throwing knives to? Because atm it's like the down directional arrow lolol
Looking for a player on the Event Assignment, we did bells we need one last guy
Secret hardmode, one guy disconnected and we need the last guy.
One of the presets set it on the buttons iirc
Still looking for help?
anyone wanna do the twins on Damnation w me?
does "enhanced blitz" enhances damage or stagger of blitzes?
More nades and stuff is what it means
Nah already got it completed. But thanks either way
Sounds good man
It’s the grenade/blitz amount that gets increased. In case of Psyker, it’s reduced peril costs.
well i know about the amount of nades, was wandering if others things would be enhanced
Nope
thanks
heyo, where is the right place to find people to play with? is it this channel?
#vox-lfg-lexicanum has all the explanations
Here is more for helping people understand mechanics in the game
neat, thanks boss
Have FS implemented the pox gas maelstroms yet?
uhhh yes? right when they added poxgas?
will fatshark also add daily penances in the game?
I got a friend who mains Bardin in Vermintide which translate to ogryn playstyle
but if hes gonna get drip for his ogryn I feel like hes going to be forced in other classes
just for Points
Probably not, those were replaced by the Melk mission
yeah, but thats a weekly thing though, theres not much daily stuff to do aside from draining our souls with hadron
Has anyone else experienced issues with their audio briefly muting since the last patch? It almost feels like it's specifically muting when the game loads in new map assets, as it doesn't happen within the grinder, and only happens a few times within the hub before it stops, but is constantly happening on missions to the point that a sentence can barely be said without a second or two of completely muted audio.
No graphical or gameplay lag to go along with it or anything, though. So I don't think it's a system resources issue.
yeah there's a bunch of random crap that trigger it
I usually fix it by plugging in/unplugging my mic, restarting the game, resetting audio devices in game and on discord... weird combination of shit that fixes it lol
and its different every time
Is this where I post of I need help completing the bells toll for thee penance?
Is it explained/known why the enemies categorized as Maniac take less damage from heavy attacks? Always wondered why.
Gameplay balance, it's tied to your weapon
just a quirk of particular weapons rather than a general property
i know that combat axes are like this even though it's unintuitive
they did have a patch where they remedied this by nerfing the CAxe light attack damage against maniac but no one liked this so they just reverted it back and never touched this again
otherwise most melee weapons do indeed do more damage to maniacs on heavies as you'd expect
Indeed. I almost always use Combat Axes and been wondering about it's main reason ever since. It notably varies from other melee weaons. It's not the same case for the knives for instance; if it's a heavy attack critical hit. Can one-hit-kill mutants even, with the critical heavy attack hit of knives.
Appreciate the replies. 🍻
It also reminded me the old times where I was heavy attacking the Mutants thinking it'd kill them faster. If it wasn't for a mate of mine who said I was suppose to light attack them to kill 'em faster, I'd still be heavy attacking 'em today. Got me intrigued of it's reason ever since.
Will give you any damage numbers you want
Darktide calculator for damage breakpoints against enemies. Developed by ManShanko.
For the Auric Storm penance: does it only count missions you do from the start? Joined a running maelstrom, finished it without dying but it didn’t count. Unlucky or normal?
From my experience you have to be a part of the mission from the start, or atleast before the first encounter
And it sucks because if you join a mission midway and die, you will still lose progress even if that mission wouldnt have progressed the penance anyway
Honestly it's sad because this combination of factors has increased the amount of leavers in maelstroms significantly 
yeah people cheesing the title is wack
No way to tell if someone got it legit or just a leaver
the title is wack
might be a dumb question but do bots count towards penances that require no one dying/getting downed?
like auric storm survivor and atomas elite guard penance
Bot most likely count. But I've never tested that out first hand tho
is reved up chainsaw weapon is one hit or mutible small ones ?
It's multiple small ticks with a big one at the end
so would the 3 stacks of 5 procent brittle effect aplie multiple times on hit?
I just tested it with vet's onslaught talent and the whole rev attack counts as 1 attack for the effect
thank you, i am limited on the resources and wanted to know before i commit, you saved a lot of time to me thanks
is there anyone who can help me get the malleus monstronum penance?
thanks
Hey guys did they remove this blessing for trauam staff?
ive upgraded so many and used around 6k of plasteel and havent even seen the blessing at any rank
i use a mod that shows all locked blessings on a weapon, if i were you id install it to see myself
It's on my trauma staff
hi, is this the right place to ask with help for redacted penances=?
i think you are looking for vox channels, like #vox-lfg-emea for example
what happens if somebody's killed and the team advances to the next area and pass a point of no return before picking the person up?
dead operatives get teleported to the next pole
either thought that happened or that they get disconencted
or the "can be rescued" gets changed to "can't be rescued"
some shroudfield tomfoolery allows saving completely doomed games this way
you just nope the fuck out through all enemies with a dagger and get a fresh team
still gotta clean up some elites at the pole though
"shroudfield" "dagger"
not resemblence. that's me running up to you and screaming
Idk if this belongs here, but I recently had a glitch on my zealot where it wouldn’t let me switch out of my build? Like it said I had my knife and lasgun on, but I would go into a mission and it only let me have my eviscerator and heavy flamer instead, and I couldn’t change it
I even tried deleting both of them and they refused to be deleted lmao
I fixed it by having to delete the build I had and remaking it, but it was really annoying and I was wondering if anyone else has had this glitch 
I have a video of me trying to delete em but I cant send so
Kobeni with chastise, what will she do
any acknowledgement of the weird server issues the gane has been having lately?
random dcs and game pausing, etc?
Thats easy one just re check your builds after exiting the menu, don't switch to talent tree after switching vice versa
happens to me all the time
I did that, and it did work for a bit and then like it literally would not let me switch off of my eviscerator no matter what I did
Like I was permanently stuck with it in every mission even though it showed me with my knife yk
Its fixed now, but it was just really weird and kinda annoying
Has anyone else had really low FPS since the update?
yes the patch carried with it many more issues, as is customary
going off of the amount of people complaining about it then yeah it seems like a pretty common issue
I've been having really bad performance issues with both Darktide and Helldivers, idk if it's a coincidence or an engine issue
There's calculator
is it just me or is there audio lag in the game since the redemption patch came out?
hey guys should I keep inspiring barrage or would Cavalcade be better on the Boltgun? or should I upgrade Surgical?
some people complain about audio lags, i myself dont have it so idk
most likely there IS a problem
yeah, if multiple people are reporting it then something must be up, all good, its not like the game is unplayable, but the audio cuts are annoying to my ears since im using a headset
veteran or zealot
veteran focus target build
the dmg bit low but i usually do surgical and pinning fire blessing
also flak(elite)/maniac(special/disabler) give more dmg boost
most special is maniac based armor
and most elite is flak based
bulwark is unyielding, crusher is carapace
oh ok got it
cavalcade is good if you spray (not aiming) usually zealots bring out bolter and spray in front of them
might wanna ask #zealot-class or #veteran-class
For Auric Storm Survivor's consecutive mission requirement -- Is it 5 consecutive missions that are specifically just Auric Maelstrom (like AM - AM - AM - AM - AM) or can you do other missions in between, as long as you don't die in 5 (spread out) consecutive Auric Maelstrom missions (like AM - AM - Normal Auric - AM - AM - Normal Auric - AM)
is there a tutorial on how to do loner penace without griefing your entire lobby
you can do in between
just dont die on the AM
Ah thank the emporer, thank you
i somehow did it very quickly without running to far away, and sometimes i was doing it on common heresy/damnation when i was chilling
not one of the hard ones that is
just remember line of sight
sometimes some allies have a larger coherency cause of talent choice , and uhhh yea just say you are doing the penance until it is finsih
do crits modify base damage stat or are they independant values
They're modifiers on base damage as far as i am aware
they modify the base damagee stat but there are some "interesting" things surrounding crit damage
mostly to do with weapons potentially having different crit damage multipliers per armour type, or how they often bump up the armour damage modifier against a particular armour type
Fatshark make less opaque systems challenge [impossible]
Is there a substantial difference between normal Heresy and Auric Heresy?
Also dose it count when a teammate destroys a heretic idol or dose it have to be me that destroys it?
Spawn intensity, yes team can destroy it you get the bonus
Thanks
That lowers some stress lol
For those wondering, if you aggro a demon host and quit, the demon just switches targets. Had someone trying to get their 10 match achievement aggro one, then quit. Then rejoin after it was dead, and aggro a 2nd one later and quit again lol
No death streak achievements are always just fuel for toxic behavior in games
can confirm, the ASS title holder rejoin after i died
hi, any advice to complete the loner aura penance. looking for how to not screw the team mostly. like i know i need to get away from coherency but wich kind of moments would be good to get some progress on it.
just go to malice with a cleave knife run from all coherency auras and try to make a big shooter meatball
then just dodge sideways while stunlocking them so they cant turn
you'll be done in like 2-3 games
thanks for the help
You'll see a yellow square-ish and some circles, use your movement keys to select the circles, they'll flash green and if you wait they'll become red or white, if it's red move to the next circle, if it's white select it, do it 3 times
Any specific question?
Think I understand now. Many thanks.
It says with the Headhunter blessing it "stacks 5 times". How/when exactly does it stack?
when you headshot your crit chance increase until it crits 1 stack is extra 20% crit
Buying time’s quite easy to get on more open-air finales like Consignment Yard or Enclavum Baross
Abhor the Mutant is pretty picky on the timing, but a popular choice is to joust the mutant via thunder hammer
- frenzied - auric/high intensity + zealot with lots and lots of fire (flamer and/or flame grenades), and wait for hordes
- shocking stuff - you can throw more than 1 grenades y know, and how to kill em all - thats up to you, 40 is not much
- idk why you cant do it, one of the easiest penances
- lmao just throw a grenade at sniper
Gotta land the attack during the dash
try using battle axe while running towards mutant
should be easy kill
the his should be buffed with the ability
btw about frenzied - ogryn with grenade and kickbac/stubber is a way too
there are ways
good luck
The way i got abhor done was with an indignatus crusher, special action charge when the mutant is coming from a distance, charge up heavy attack, dash and release heavy attack on mutant face 1 hitting it on heresy and below.
I got it back near launch charging mutants other people were shooting lol
I think you need to get the kill with the single critical damage hit chastise gives, were you using a chain weapon?
It might just be weird rn not like any of us have a way to test it lol
59/60 gone bowling is real funny lol
I haven't played oggy since they made it work in pubs
If you can get in a orthus secret mode game i think you'd get it going vent to vent lol
Shocking stuff just straight up takes 2 grenades and people leaving your targets alone yeah
Gotta do a little coordination or the gamers will murder without a thought
Frenzied killer lighting a bunch of enemies on fire then going in on others with an evisc or something is best i think
Xv evisc kills 4 or 5 poxers a swing even without great rolls i think
The og evisc you need to do cool combos but the zv you can just do lights
Shotgun might be good too?
Classic
Xv is the new one with an overhead h1 and side cleaving lights
The old evisc had a horde combo with pushes and heavies and stuff
Very technical and fun but its just not as good sadly
Xv has the flat tip instead of round too
you just need to queue up any maelstrom and survive until poxwalker horde. then you'll have quite a lot of options: ogryn lugger w/ frag bomb + ripper/stubber, CTW crit zealot with a lot of cleave and evis/chainsword/devil claw OR flamer
zealot and ogryn can easily get the 120 version in like 1 untouched horde
Yeah we're talking shocking stuff
oh shocking stuff just chuck 2 nades and use flamer lol
will be done in 1st time you attempt it
pretty sure you can ask other people to chuck extra stunns
The biggest part of frenzied killer is having your team limit their support lol
If you're competing for the kills its much harder lol
frenzied killer is the easiest because it will be completed eventually on any class unlike shocking stuff
XV evicerator can only dmg up to 4 targets at a time, it’s capped
It can stagger more than 4 but only deals dmg to up to 4 targets
oh huh
i wish i knew what the cleave damage distribution stat meant
does the other evisc have the same cap?
i mgiht have to go back and just play harder then, its a shame my xv is so good
i did notice it didnt feel like i was chunking hordes as good as i though i should
It’s not nearly as effective as the actual best horde clear weapons unfortunately
yeah the old eviscerator is crazy at it you just had to do combos to use it efficiently, i still havent made a BM rashad but i heard those were wacky
less wacky than before but still very good
i wish the psykanium had a denser horde of poxers for practical testing
though i guess i should just figure out how to use creature spawner
yeah p ez to use creature spawner for that
besides having to set up external macros if you want to spawn great quantities of enemies constantly without tiring your finger
like ahk? lol
ye
that's something i think is worth learning for most people, i know a decent amount of AHK scripting
i have a script set up back when I was testing some weapons
god bless
you can do some pretty wild stuff with the full functionality
i cant bring myself to learn much more than i already know though i've gotta use that energy learning evil stuff like MUMPS
yeah I have some basic reassignments for multitasking like swapping virtual desktops and whatnot
I know you can get to some neat application-specific tasks and whatnot from watching a certain video editing tutorial
it can do all kinds of event detection and stuff
i'd never run an AHK script i didnt personally inspect lol
oh yeah 2.0 literally has native registry editing that's some real shit
what are some good blessings to hunt for a plasma gun?
Blaze away, gets hot
Depends on how you plan to use the Plasma.
- If you are using it as a primary weapon, then Get's Hot and Blaze Away are good choices, especially if you are also using either VoC or Infiltrate.
- If you are using it with Executioners Stance though, you might see some value in using Gloryhunter, since you won't have VoC as a panic toughness refill, depending on how you normally play (you can tank quite a bit of damage for your team in a pinch if done correctly). Combine with either Blaze Away or Get's Hot depending on how you feel about landing quick follow-up shots without missing.
- Volatile is decent if you are only using the Plasma sparingly for quickswapping and taking out priority targets (much like a Revolver) since it also affects uncharged shots, hence making your quickswap slightly quicker. Other blessing would depend on where you go from there (magdump --> Blaze Away, toughness refill in a tight spot --> Gloryhunter, Firing till 100% heat then quickswapping back/forth --> Get's Hot)
- Shattering Impact is more or less irrelevant
yeah im a stub revolver main so i dont usually fire into trash mobs i just pick off elites and specials, thanks.
ogryn cough cough
is there a solution to the stuttering besides playing until the cache fully rebuilds? maybe a force rebuild argument?
oh it rebuilt when i launched this time
for some time there will be stutters, just play more
i had to play some games before they desappeared
is the Pox Hound challenge bugged? I got mine stuck at 36/50 even tho I pushed plenty of hounds back midair just like before
i also thought its bugged again but i then i noticed its progressing
maybe bugged just a tiny bit 🙂
yeah, i got it to track again to 38 but then it stopped counting again
not sure if i fucked up somewhere in the pushing or just some weird behind the scenes stuff
Gets hot + gloryhunter/blaze away
Anyone got recommendations on how to complete the Dodge This (3) penance? I've been trying to get it with the voidstrike staff, but I'm coming up short.
unironically recon lasgun exe stance vet into poxwalker horde
the one that pierces infested
Can you guys recommend me melee build ?
Veteran or Zealot for as much melee focused combat as possible, who would be better ?
I guess its gonna be Zealot but i just wanted to be sure, iam going to play after a year and start new character.
Id prefer Sword or Dagger.
I just read some reddit post where some guy elaborated about Veteran being better overall in most cases even for melee so i just wanted to ask you who plays.
Thanks for any tips and have a great day
seems like plasmagun or revolver would be good given that they have headshot magnetism, with the former having 6.5 cleave (4 poxwalkers at most per shot) and the latter having >52.5 cleave
with vet, it usually boils down to going down the bottom-right branch and taking weapon specialist
taking some nice hard-hitting single-shot weapons is usually the way to go, but you can really just pick any weapon with a fast swap time if you vibe with them
zarona revolver is the natural choice, but I find that the headhunter autoguns, especially the v7, is another less obvious but very good choice (because the V7 is able to hit dreg/scab gunner one-shots if you run a certain setup and talent tree with them whilst having enough points to barely take weapon specialist)
pick the mk6 psword if you're feeling especially meta, run +unyielding/+carapace (if your stats are high enough. If they're a bit too low, you might opt to take +10% in order to reach shotgunner oneshots and scab rager 2-shot breakpoints. Nevertheless, you might prioritize +carapace just to reach the crusher two-shot).
With zealot, pick stuff that seems good and it'll probably be good. If you want to run knife on zealot and use it as a main weapon, I recommend taking one of the two variants and slapping Riposte + Flesh Tearer. This goes a bit against the common wisdom to slap Uncanny Strike on it, but the rationale is that crits on the knife are fucking insane for some reason and boost its armour-damage-modifiers to an extend that other melees don't get boosted, and Zealot achieves the highest average crit chance for melee across the human classes. Of course, this performs worse than an uncanny strike knife against carapace, but you get a bump up against all other armour types and makes it significantly less depressing to fight trash hordes. A specific setup with +25% flak and high-enough stats allows you to one-shot scab/dreg gunners with a single crit-weakspot heavy (deal enough direct damage, and let the bleed finish them off.).
There's also the Chainsword if you want to run another flavor of a degenerate crit build.
I like to swap between vet and zealot for some flavor of melee-focus, with zealot generally spending the most time in melee.
For more details, I'd ask in the specific class chats to see what the regulars have to say
@woeful root thanks for trying to help me man ! Appreciate it.
I found this topic on reddit if you can check it out.
https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/18iebvc/zealot_vs_melee_vet/
that guy AzrealDNT_Tem, can you check what he says there.
Btw iam speed lover so hows Vet compared to Zeal ? Who has faster attack speed/move speed ? I guess its zealot right ?
On the other hand i guess Veteran should be better allrounder to play in public for example ?
Also i low Zealots lore wise but i dislike their armour styles, Veterans simply looks best imho.
And yeah i would like to play Revolver + Sword or Dagger, kinda dont like other weapons that much honestly.
I really dont care much about who has higher dmg or w/e. I care about speed mostly.
And yeah thanks again 🙂
zealot talent
zealot will be faster for a few reasons --
- (marginally faster sprint speed. When I say marginal, it really is marginal. 5.2 m/s base sprint speed compared to veteran's 5 m/s base sprint speed. Though, zealot has access to movement speed buffs down two of its keystones), whereas Vet has to take a certain aura to get a movement speed buff
- Zealot has Fury of the Faithful ult which is a dashing ult. It has an unlisted property where you can lock onto a target if you dash while aiming at a target. (You can hold the dash button to be sure that you've locked onto an enemy). Locking onto an enemy extends your dash by up to 21m (and ends on collision with the target. I forget if it gets ended prematurely if you collide with an elite/special).
for damage output, i consider them same or at least the difference is not very measurable to be significant
I disagree with some of azreal's takes since he bases his opinions very strongly on solo gameplay and not considering games with teammates at all, which is what you're presumably going to be playing with.
I also feel that he overstates how "active" you have to be to get the damage boosts on zealot. You get +20% just for hitting enemies, and the two damage buff keystones have trivial activation conditions.
I also disagree with the ult take especially when he's considering it from a solo perspective, albeit depending on your build, mostly because fury of the faithful exists.
yeah i will be playing public/sometimes with two of my friends but yeah mostly just public...
Almost all my friends went backto VT2
so you can count also that i never gonna really play solo 😄
I would say that extra movement speed on zealot might be good on those zealot builds where u spam your ult and try to get it back asap right ?
and yeah not gonna lie Power Swords looks more appealing to me than Daggers
movement speed is whatevs and mostly just zealot being able to achieve a very high average crit chance and the +cdr% on crit talent
I saw few vides and i understand they can be strong but somehow i dont like them, it just doesnt feel right to play with Dagger when we have power swords, force swords and chain weapons
azreal's opinions stemming from solo gameplay really do show in how he seems to understate the mk6 powersword a bit in the context of the environment that most people are going to be playing in (matches with teammates)
yeah dagger isn't for everyone and I only liked them after I realized that they have a different attack timing than most other weapons and that zealot makes them especially good
i normally main assassins types, i just feel like it shouldnt be an option here in Darktide 😄 maybe iam wrong and i gonna like it when i play it properly
they're nice since they're fairly safe to use (at least as zealot, where not having enough DPS and being forced to kite is less of a concern since you do have the ability to throw out good average DPS with the knife as zealot) and the mobility allows you to snipe specials in melee without needing to use your ranged, since you can reach enemies like trappers faster than they can shoot you (most times), or you have your dash ult at all times from cdr maxxing
yeah i p much try to play knife as a frontline weapon as I can since I dislike kiting and stealth
looting is also another reason why I bring knife
well, the main reason really
otherwise, I would never play it even if you could do quite a lot of damage for it, and I'd just stick with psword vet most times
speaking of which
to me, the clear advantage that veteran does have in melee compared to zealot is access to the power swords (specifically the mk6), since they have absurd generalist damage
if only zealot could have the power swords
yeah honestly thats why i even think about Vet... MK6 i like how it cleave through horde+power attacks+ that block attack to stab attack pattern
and again i just love how they look armour wise
yeah they got the vibes
@woeful root btw my very fist plan was actually to main Psyker and be like Emperor ( 😄 )
But Psyker is probably not the best melee option right ?
And i dislike staff play so i would again go sword + gun 😄
For the Emperor always
yeah psyker suffers from not having any attack speed buffs compared to the other classes
psyker has a bunch of warp damage boosts, but the only melee that can properly take advantage of that is the illisi so you're limited to that for a melee damage boost, besides taking scrier's I suppose
not having any precision single-target force staff also makes psyker rather boring for me, and the existing force staffs are all very mechanically undemanding to use
i consider psyker to be the most boring of the human classes but it's also the class that I have the highest playtime so I am probably biased from being worn out from the class
Azrael needs to use more throwing knives… Unlimited supply, excellent special killing, no reloading.
That was half of his arguments against zealot removed…
Veteran is also 5.2 baseline, but zealot has easier to access +move speed and +sprint speed nodes
Veteran & zealot are 5.2m/s
Psyker & ogryn are 5.0m/s
Any advice for the Fan-atic penance? I've been using psyker's smite push to try and get them into the fan but it hasn't been sufficient. Is there a better way?
Not gonna lie guys, i still cant decide which one to main, guess i will just pick based on looks
Psyker is fun, but it's not for everyone. Veteran has a niche group of fans. Ogryn is for people who want to be a reliable support and tank. Zealot is just Zealot
(my favorite is zealot)
I love playing ogryn but I don't like having the maneuverability of a double decker bus when it comes to dodging
@undone vector i love psyker lore wise but hate staff weapons in general + i hate his armour in game, he looks more like astronaut than psyker imho...
I dont want to play Ogryn (too big guy)
Its basicaly Vet or Zeal, Vet has nicest armours at least in my opinion + power sword looks awesome..
I wonder how viable would be gunXsword melee oriented psyker in highest difficulties but probably more meme right ?
Do you prefer the head on approach, or are you a little more reserved?
Zealot has more freedom of movement, but veteran has access to the plasma rifle
@undone vector can do both honestly, usualy i just love melee close quater combat + melee in case of Darktide i plan using Revolver also
My plan is basicaly Sword or Dagger + Revolver so i honestly dont really care about other weapons that much
Gun + sword psyker is very strong, but u need to learn how to manage ammo
If you’re just starting out I’d probably go with zealot instead of veteran
It’s very easy for beginner veteran to mess up
Plus veteran has a ton of trap talents that are simply put underpowered
well if i just check passive trees zealot shoul be strongest melee class overall right ?
I mean at least on paper
And in my experience at least, veteran is more dependent on good blessings than zealot
Depends
Melee veteran can be really strong
They just do different things
And like I said, if you’re just starting out on the game, I’d suggest zealot to start with instead of veteran
Lacerate 4 and flesh tearer 4 on the knife is phenomenal with either character
I played beta and after beta but not for long so yeah gotta be basicaly just starting
zealot can have fastest movement speed right ? what about attack speed ?
Bleed knife is a meme
Good on bosses
Fastest attack speed overall, faster move speed than veteran in 90% situations
It’s not that much faster but it is faster
Not nearly as good as actual +Dmg blessings
Let's agree to disagree
do you guys have some nice zealot outfits to show ? 😄
is there any decent outfit without candles and scrolls ? I love zealots but i dont like those scrolls everywhere 😦
Kind of
The Kriegcoat is pretty fly, but I don't know when it'll be back
ye this one is okay
What's your weapon type? That's usually what I consider before picking an outfit
Thunderhammer and savlar trench coat is a fashion disaster
i just want revolver + dagger or what sword if i pick zealot ? Evis ?
On Veteran i planned to get power sword ofc
also btw who would be better to play with public parties ?
Test things out and see what works best for you
This really just depends on what you’re more familiar with lol
prefer*
Well lets say i can learn class properly, who can be more usefull for team ?
Roughly equal
They’re not stronger or weaker than each other they just do different things
All 4 classes are strong in their own ways and none of them is rly “weaker” than the others
Veteran for ammo Regen and team toughness bonuses, zealot for beacon of purity and very sturdy melee Fighting
Noted, so what is their respectable role if played properly ?
When i played Zealot i was always just basicaly rushing everywhere just kill on sight
If any class is gonna be crazy enough to solo a boss, it's probably zealot
Veteran falls into 2 categories in high difficulty
You’re either death incarnate, instantly kill everything and barely take any dmg, or you go down in 4 hits because you didn’t learn melee
Relic and beacon of purity can cleanse corruption and buff teammates
Very true
It's always a 1 or a 10
Zealot falls into 2 categories
You either murder everything and is basically untouchable, or you play crit CDR relic and support
Veteran’s role is just kill everything
I've been doing loner crit zealot for penances and it's a very fun high momentum play style
You’re meant to be good at everything
Zealot is more melee focus
Veteran is prob smth like 50:50 melee & ranged combat split
Yeah I'd agree with that
Veteran is NOT the exclusively ranged class
i was thinking that zealot is basicaly harder to master but if you put it like that it looks like Veteran is even harder to master, right ?
Veteran for most people is more difficult
Let’s just say that you get punished harder for mistakes on veteran compared to zealot
Less forgiving than zealot or ogryn
Also eventually all veterans fall into roughly 3 categories
You’re either a power sword believer, a Rashad enjoyer, or you play knife
Everything else just falls between these 3 main camps
Rashad gang finally rising
Power Sword because it looks coolest imho 😄
Never thought I'd see the day
Combat axe
Certain blessings turn it monstrous at horde clearing
In the grimdark future of the 41st millenium, the strongest melee weapons are a hatchet and a fruit knife
😮
Brutal momentum my beloved
latrine hatchets op i guess
i mean shovels
oh ye btw how u feel about Catachan sword ?
For Parry and Riposite
They’re good
Dependent on good blessings in my experience
Very clear strength, very clear weakness
I'm a boomer I use the mk1
If u enjoy melee combat more I’d def start with zealot
^
Zealot endgame melee camps are a lot more varied than veteran
Veteran is just power sword / Rashad / knife, and everything else is in between
A good tip with veteran is that your plasma won't explode from uncharged shots
I just can't make the turtolsky work
Thanks for all tips and help guys 🙂
I probably gonna start with Veteran (he has plenty of melee options, ranged too i guess right)
And i really like his armours. Iam watching now some guy playing Shovel+Revolver and hes just blazing through everything killing mostly melee+insta quick swaps to gun to kill specials/elites etc.
are u planning to spend money on paid cosmetics or
cuz the free cosmetics for veteran are pretty meh imo
yea if u want to that's fine
and i got one "decent" set i think
the free cosmetics for veteran are generally pretty meh
from Deluxe Edition
the new penance ones are ok
honestly thats what i probably like on his armours 😄
hes just nothing fancy right
kinda meh, kinda basic
this is my fav veteran armor rn and it takes 4500 penance points to unlock
which is a pretty insane grind
i knew only a bit about lore but i started to love Emperor and lore thanks to Darktide (more than VT)
(I still don't have it)
i guess Darktide + awesome masterpiece of OST helped me with that
Jesper Kyd is one big master i would say
and yeah ingame voicelines are nice also
i guess iam gonna use this for long time
this set has some clipping issues that they never fixed
if u don't mind it that's ok
well its bothering but w/e right ?
i will upgrade once they release something i like more
i think i saw some Krieg armours on steam updates
i guess cosmetisc changes from time to time
i really like this one also
cosmetic sets rotate every 2 weeks
and this
those 2 are free
i would say its pretty "basics"
u just grind dockets to buy them
but i dont really need ton of extra specials honestly
the best free ones imo are from the new penance rewards
none are complete
oh ok
last stupid questiion btw
Height ? Highest or Lowest ?
highest makes it easier to hit heads
lowest makes u harder to get hit by ranged attacks behind cover
preference
i see, well monsters are basicaly aimbots anyway right
no
nice frame, what is that for ?
complete 500 special condition missions
250 now IIRC
oh ok
May be even less, I don’t recall the exact number
It’s definitely less than 500 though
this is the inquisitorial veteran set @elder lagoon
Moebian 6th is the highest grind set u can get rn
i would say in DT we have better cosmetics than in VT2
i hated like 99% of cosmetics in VT2
Because we do. We do get to mix and match parts, it’s an immeasurably complex and fun system to change your appearance
there are (many), they're just not free
there're quite a few remodel weapon skins
yeah i just found this
beware that not all weapons are available for all classes
yeah i noticed

I guess i should get some usefull mods also
vets baseline smoker lungs made me forgor
does this have anything to do with how a lot of veteran lines usually start with heavy breathing
maybe that but mostly cuz vets have a 1 second stamina Regen delay
LC is out of shape
compared to zeslot's 0.75 and psyker's 0.5
he does get stamina Regen delay but it is humorous that it's the slowest
I'm getting plagued by seemingly infinite loading screens post-missions.
does anyone know what head pieces have that unique voice mod other than the usual muffled voice mod?
Are you asking which headgear items provide actual voice modulation and not just a muffled normal voice?
if its a cloth mask, its got a muffle
if its a rebreather, its got a voice mod
The Steel Legion helmets don't provide modulation, as far as I know.
Despite some of them having rebreather tubes.

what does rending do?
A weapon has a base damage, and then it has armour damage modifiers (ADM) that affect the percentage of the base damage that it deals to that armour type (unarmoured, infested, flak, maniac, unyielding, carapace). E.g., the force swords have an ADM of 65% against carapace on heavy attacks. This means that it deals 65% of its base damage to carapace.
So, if a heavy attack deals 217 base damage, then that means it will do 217 * 0.65 = 141 damage to carapace.
+rending% will increase that armour damage modifier number additively. E.g., if your attack deals 65% damage to carapace currently, then +30% rending means that you'll do 95% damage to carapace now.
When you reach 100% ADM, then rending%'s effect is reduced to 1/4ths. E.g., if your attack already deals 100% ADM to carapace, then +40% rending means that the ADM will be 100% + 40% * 1/4 = 110%.
In addition, rending% itself is capped at 100%. Let's say that you have tier4 Uncanny Strike, which should give 120% rending at 5 stacks. However, you will only receive 100% rending from it at max.
(rending is awesome)
Do you have this saved somewhere 
ye i have it in my onenote
I hate OneNote, how does it have less image options than PowerPoint
its a lot better at note taking though
I've seen people organise tables and stuff with images and dates on their onenote but i just can't deal with it 
for anyone who's a student or just wants to write down bits of information for the future, I really do recommend onenote as something that is easy to use and has a lot of features
it's not perfect, and I certainly have gripes with it, but it seems to be the best that you can get, at least as a free option

Hey guys, I wanted to ask if there is any way to modify the number of worker threads without going through the launcher options? I'm on linux and the options button isn't present for whatever reason when lauching the game :/
maybe the config option lemme check
you need to find the user setting config location
i dont know the equivalent of appdata in linux
Thank god you're a saver, I saw someone fiddling with that option but the dude wrote something along the lines of "thread[0] = true" saying they didn't know if it worked lol
I'll try that thank you!
there's 2 worker thread lines, your setting and maximum limit
try to guess
well... We'll see and pray lol
Huh, doesn't seem to be the same config file sadly
Ok nevermind, someone on reddit had the same config as mine and asked why it was different, it seems that it doesn't write it in the config file if you didn't touch the settings in game(?)
It seems to be working! I added your line to my config, updated the file in game and the line moved up to the same place as yours, thank you so much! The game just doesn't generate the entries for the config you didn't interact with

can I unlock every penance in private games, i.e. the skulls?
if you have 3 friends, then yes
Won't count if I solo the skulls? (the ones that can be solo'd that is)
All that matters is that you pick up the skull, which everyone can do in a lobby even if you already have it

okay whats the problem? stutter or something?
Question: Bromentum on Tac-axes. Yes or no?
Yes, pretty heavily
I can send clips that showcase it better
if you need proof
but my game just turns into a slideshow randomly at the worst possible times, feels awful to play
this is your first game after patch?
Yeah
I played a couple though
Not to completion as we died
It actually appeared to get worse
thats just normal few games after patch stuff
the game recompile the shader again
should be fine after few mission
So I dont have to do anything?
So I just have to suffer?
Suffering is part of the trial
yea, or try to verify the game on launcher
p much 😔
some say verify game, suffer few mission or update your GPU
BTW on AppData\Roaming\Fatshark\Darktide
i deleted mi 500 Mo http_cache and it fix MY stutter
thanks
I deleted the full AppData/Roaming/Fatshark folder and it fixed it for me too
Was getting lows of 10fps after this patch and it didn't go away after struggling through a couple games
Is the "Untouchable Operative" penance bugged for anyone else? The last patch fixed my progress on the ones for pushing hounds and popping bursters but now this has been stuck at 7/10 for the last 3 missions.
Does it only count if you're in the mission from the beginning? I've played another 2 rounds and it's gone up by 1 to 8/10
yes
same goes for auric storm survivor
Ah, that would explain it. I always quick play so join ongoing games 50% of the time
dying in a mission that you joined midway through will ruin your streak though
if you quickplay into a YOU HAVE FAILED THE EMPEROR screen, streak over
Yep, had that happen
yeah
I think fatshark was expecting/hoping people would group up for that
it's what me and my friends did so I didn't even realize it was funky like that, or that it can be cheesed by disconnecting before you die if you've gone down
I would've probably completed it a few times over if it was counting ongoing games I've joined. I've lost my steak so many times at 7+ games because of a barrel/burster/plague ogryn punting me clean out of the map
I'm trying to figure out how to max the penance rewards from this new path update I'd rather not have to max each class out all the way so im hoping i can do all the mission penances over time and get all of the new cosmetics
I do have veteran max but that was probably the easiest class to get all the penances on, Psyker and Zealot are kind of rough with some of them
they are all easy and usually dont take more than 8 games for a set of 3 as long as you're willing to play certain maps, goofy builds and throw/leave games occasionally
not having a difficulty or actually completing the mission for it to count requirement really speeds things up if you're willing to do all that
smite and coward culling penances being the worst because they require teammates doing them for you
and yeah you could probably skip like half of the new ones and still get 4500 points with just mission completion
thats what im sitting at now
I need to do Damnation since ive done every mission on heresy but i can never win with random ques on damnation
then go to auric quickplay
once you checkmark like 75% of endeavours tab seek out the rest
ok will do thanks for the help
you cannot finish the reward track and get all the cosmetics without finishing at LEAST the vast majority of the class penances
that means maxing all the classes
or those have to be like, the only penances you don't do, but even then I think each class has like... 600 points of penances, so nah even then you just can't skip them.
hey so, if i want a specific blessing, is the strategy to just upgrade new weapons until i get it, and then destroy the weapon to get it?
yes, also checking melk's shop daily
oki
i think it's plasteel efficient to go to yellow looking for rank 4 blessings but i do not have anything to back this up, maybe a data miner can weigh in
im a little broke, just interested in getting deflect for my sword lol
the force sword block bullets thing?
yeah
keep an eye out in the regular shop i think you can get it at lower ranks and it just loses a few % of increased block efficiency
gotcha
im about to hop on i can take a look at what the ranks do
oh yeah just wait for it to show up in the regular shop, check it every mission or two
deflector 1 does the main effect and reduces block costs by 22.5%, deflector 4 reduces block cost by 30% lol
i would not spend plasteel or melkbucks looking for it
also wow superiority is a good blessing weird it only has a rank 3 version
great some of the penances for psyker and zealot are tedious to get done
Did u already figure out?
I did not
Run while charging the knife then u should still be running and repeat
It's that simple?
Teah
Anyone else get double fps and coil whine when on mission boards or shops?
just limit the fps?
hello
anyone available to help me with zealot penance ?
i would really appreciate the help
Is the DC usually accompanied by stutters? If so, probably a result of the known memory leak which mods tend to make worse
How does the new ''puzzle'' on the Hab Dreyko work?
Use WASD to move cursor between circles, if it blinks white, press mouse 1
Do this 3 times
Also very important note: if you stopped it and then started again, the position of the white circles remains the same
How do I get the intro to play for Darktide when playing modded? Just with base and dmf it seems to skip the intro.
Did not realize this in the couple times i did the mission that's crazy important to know lol
How do you see your character's original sentence?
Go to Oska Kraal and attempt doing a Personality scourge procedure - you will be able to see all your character's choices there
Does past and all those choices actually affect voice lines?
would be nice if i can see all the available voice lines my selection gives
like what about home world?
I don't think the choices matter for anything else but fluff currently
they shouldn't impact your character's dialogue
what affect voice lines?
Well, the personality you chose, and what other personalities are present in the lobby (i.e., how they respond to your character's takes and what topics are discussed in the party)
that's about it
If u pick Cadia origin professional veteran then he won’t roast the cutthroat
That’s the only voicelines difference I know from home world difference
Anyone out there that can help me get all the skulls from all the missions for the penances?
yes, i can help, but can u help me make Malleus Monstronum for psyker?
Everybody and their neighbor complaining about everything under the sun. Yet all I wanted was some EXTRA GUD end game content, who cares about all the rest of the trash everyone is complaining about IF the game has what so very many others are lacking. THAT SWEET END GAME CONTENT. You try playing a game when you have exhausted the content, it's flat as crapolo. So here is what you do to fix games like this and Rb6 seige extraction. You give us an ironman MODE, and you also give us FF on options. Problem solved FOR LIKE A KISS in programming hours. That is why DOING THIS is an industry standard. Yet I suppose some DEVS just want to be DIFFERENT and drive their game right into the ground. So, they FORGET PROS LIKE MYSELF who offer industry standards to help all the VETS (or just plain pros) of a title keep playing it well after they have burned out all the regular content.
Of course you can all keep droning away about piddly little patches, and fps improvements of a couple percent (still nice yet hey without that end game content again who is a vet that would really care). I am suggesting going HIGHER than that, and then making sure after you have done so to GET THE DEVS attention, which instead of here DISCORD is always the better/best answer.
It is what I will do after I have explored and fleshed out the concepts of mine here first.
actually, I'm just going to go copy/paste this thing here there now 🙂
i also highlight the silliness of threads comparing this to helldivers. Sure that is a good franchise as well, yet how can you compare 2 games (one of which I currently own) to 40? The entertainment value you get from the WarHammer franchise is obviously light years superior in every sense. Yet still both good creative works to be sure!

Friendly fire and iron man mode in a game like this don't really make any sense and i would not consider them interesting much less new endgame content that would "fix the game"
Theres a mod if you want to play ironman anyway
why did you drag it from steam discussions to here
taint of Nurgle
Oh god are you that dude or just memeing him ?
Honestly I don't even know what worse mode they could implement than Ironman mode
what end game content are you talking about tbh
vt2 had chaos wastes or spam cata. You could do twitch Xsuper multiplier or contracts but weaves were basically avoided
the end game for tide games were always just play the highest difficulty, while I agree there could be more, it's not exactly something that is going to drastically change
HD2 comparisons also mess with my after playing some of hd2 with friends
hd2 crashes a lot more (in my experience) and i've also encountered actual game breaking bugs even in the last month. I vaulted the wrong rock at the wrong angle at i got insta gibbed and launched through the map
is the dumdum blessing still bugged and gives overall damage instead of close range?
Not bugged
anyone up for a quick heresy run
hey yall im teaching my partner the game since they were interested are there any tips that'll make it easier for them? they're hard of hearing so specials have been tough
if they're on PC and can install mods, there's the Spidey Sense mod that adds a directional indicator for elites/specials
thats fire wtf
and as a general piece of advice i'd also say to spam dodges
don't need to put a lot of thought into dodging
spam it and you'll even dodge attacks that you didn't even know were coming
HD2 seems MID and BAD and STINKY
there's also a mod that prevents sideways jumping, if they also keep jump and dodge on the same key
play Darktid
oh god i just rebound jump and dodge to the same key and i already hate it
no wonder people aren't in the habit of spamming dodges
did not ask
oh nice
and CRINGE and BAD and SILLY
well nice that they can rebind that shit lmfao rip to you
this is the mod in question https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/249
Prevents you from jumping when you accidentally press the dodge+jump keybind too quickly. Works on keyboard and controller.If you are having trouble getting the mod to work, try updating y
i like the little hop I do when i fuck up
i starkly remember a clip from a friend who got owned because they did the little hop instead of dodging from a plague ogryn smash
lmfao
separate dodge and jump keybind, set tag to spammable button
The fear when you jump the overhead animation

how does the be your best ogryn penance work?
can someone help me with my backend error no help with the forums
Have u tried disconnecting and reconnecting to internet on ur pc?
You gotta hit 4 elites or specials with the box without missing 5 times. So, like, when you hit them 4 times without missing, it will be 1 time. And you have to do 4 more streaks of hitting them with the box 4 times without missing to complete it.
does it need to be 4 unique ones? i read that somewhere
I don't recall it being the case. When I did it, I always targeted the mutants because they're the easiest target, and it worked
makes sense final question because i read this somewhere as well apparently if the grenade hits armor like you get a blue hit marker it stops the streak this true?
Hm. That I have no idea about, I did it before the class update and I wasn't using the grenade box upgrade
hmm ok thanks
Noticed that enemies' eyes glow green after they run through the pox clouds. Other than being a cool effect, does it buff them in any way?
Quoting Fatshark, it "makes them tougher to kill and harder to cleave through"
and makes them a bit faster, at least in the case of mutants who become olympic sprinters
Those are funny
50% dmg resist
from what i heard
Pretty sure there's also stagger resist
Poxwalkers would just shrug off hits and dogs stay glued to teammates after getting blasted
director's off its meds again i swear
ive done everything still doesnt work
anyone have so good game recommendations this game wont start for me
Interesting. Thanks for the help all!
i forgot, if i earn a blessing, is it only unlocked for that class, or any class that can use that weapon type
any class that can use that weapon type/family
alr ty
e.g., if you unlock a blessing for an infantry autogun on vet, your zealot and psyker have access to it
For the "Untouchable Operative" penance, do I have to not get downed either? and is it only me? -- I joined a mission off a quick play, which was an auric heresy, and never full died i just went down 1-2 times.
cause i figured me being downed wouldnt count, but its still 0/10
From start to end, from startin menu to end screen
downs count as deaths?
or you just mean i cant use quick play
cause i technically join mid
or after like a few mins
damn
Ye easier wiff 4 pals
No problem friend!
You can get down, not die, it's not too bad if you're good
was more just confused cause you cant quickplay if you wanna do it.
cause youre likely to join a mission thats been started for a few minutes
I don't really quick play because I don't enjoy heresy
you can sort it by damnation too though, no?
No clue don't even use it
quickplay only queues for the difficulty that you've picked for
the rng is just going to be which mission and which modifier you'll land into
Hello rejects. Is there a reason to earn all tier 3 and below blessings aside from completionism?
Instead of selling the gear for a resource I already have an abundance of?
Not much of a reason if you already have the better version of those blessings, but do note that there are certain blessings only available below tier 4. I think the rumbler’s adhesive charge is one of them. I also read somewhere that the shotguns’ flechette blessing is a tier 2, which explains why I don’t have it.
I’m personally saving up my extra weapons in case the crafting rework lets me do something with them
How do I stop this from happening, I've verified the files, played like 5 games now, and its still unplayable
Watch Best performing darktide match and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
have you tried to reduce your worker thread?
how so?
on launcher click the setting
also you can disable the steam overlay to boost your fps but you need turn it on again if you want to buy aquilas 
is this your first time playing after patch?
Anyone know what "Fireteam" is? Like everyone is in coherency at once or something?
fire team is one of the vet aura talent
the 5% dmg aura
yes teammate need to be in coherency to get the buff
Oh, I've seen that little skull symbol by nametags after matches and thought it might have something to do with that
no the skull is strike team icon , your teammates grouped up with each other
That is also a coherency icon
forgot about that
I forgor 💀
No it’s not
I’ve been fucking with this for like a week
How many would you reduce it to?
can try re-installing if all else fails assuming you haven't already
8 or less
I have
But I’ll try reducing worker threads
Has anyone experienced crashes upon interacting with a medkit? It's only with mods toggled, wondering if anyone else had this
Game closes when picking up a medkit
All good now, seemed that killfeed improvment just needed an update
hi, i am trying to use the modpack that appears in the workshop, but it looks like the mods arent loading properly
anyone knows what could be the cause?
woops, I downloaded the wrong link it seems
is there a mod to reduce crashes
cuz like jesus
i always crash in the lobby but not in game
if anything they make the crashes more frequent with more RAM usage

best you can do is use darkcache and skip the launcher and its shitty pLsRePoRt popups
im only using 1 mod
so you crash more frequently but get back in twice as fast
which is the weapon customizations mod
yeah thats the main offender right after darkcache

Hey. What was the mod that allowed players to run other Maelstroms that was active within 24 hours? And is there a tutorial on how to do that? Thanks.
Edit: It's Many More Tries.
