for the mk15 evis light, the damage target cap looks like this

which shows that only the first 4 targets take damage and the 4th target and beyond take zero

[cerulean lava]

Hi guys. Noob question - how to avoid being swarmed on T5.... On T4 I have no problems at all, when I move to T5 difficulty my hp is eaten in few seconds. horde of Ragers (bot types) are most deadly especialy when i get rounded by general horde...
Bonus question : should evis zelot even try to DPS carapance / bosses or should focus on horde managment / elites?

[rigid wasp]

It's down to the basics: block, dodge, push, headshot, know where you're running away to in case shit gets tough

Mixed hordes can be really nasty, but usually it's something you can mend by getting a weapon better fit to deal with the enemies giving you trouble, running the fuck away and letting someone handle it, or a mix of both

Unfortunately the game isn't very charitable, so you can get shit like a rager clipping into a bulwark just mauling you from behind the shield

[gusty whale]

evis XV goes hard

[cerulean lava]

i have evis MK2

[gusty whale]

potentially onetap anything smaller than a boss with the revved heavy

consider investing in XV

it rather heavily overshadows mk II

[cerulean lava]

and i do HArd/light light / block

[rigid wasp]

Yeah, I just stopped using mk2 after the funny blue one dropped

[gusty whale]

that said the mk II sweeping heavy has great horde clear

[rigid wasp]

The attacks are a bit laggy on the inputs, but it just slaps

[gusty whale]

but the single target on XV is just so far beyond it

and it has easy horde clear

all horizontal lights

[cerulean lava]

and then the same mix blessings works on XV? hit 3 regen thoughness + increase cleave ?

[gusty whale]

i would recommend rampage + shred

momentum is usually overkill

but yes they share the same blessing pool

[cerulean lava]

is it ? even if i struggle no to get killed ?

if we have ogryn in team its easy

[gusty whale]

to me that indicates you need fundamentals

[cerulean lava]

but without a big guys i am to squishy ...

[gusty whale]

dodge more

post your build and see what can be improved

[cerulean lava]

cant do it now as I am in the office 😉

but it has mostly left side

on right side i got points until enduring faith

oh i have have retribution for better survival

[gusty whale]

I'll post mine later, you can give it a shot and see if it improves your experience

[cerulean lava]

i find scourge to be pointless (but i have it ).

[gusty whale]

scourge is good on knife

on evis yeah rather pointless

the things you crit usually die

[cerulean lava]

so maybe i should change to blood redemption?

[gusty whale]

i would advise it

[vocal nacelle]

Evis XV is kinda snooze button

spam light on horde and spam heavy on elites

[gusty whale]

i like it

i only wish it wasn't a chainsword

[vocal nacelle]

this is my build for evis, just need rampage and shred blessing , perk is flak evis type is whatever you are comfortable with

[cerulean lava]

ok how about my sec question. should evis zelot even try to focus on crushers?

or clear horde for vet to kill them ?

[vocal nacelle]

Do you know the crit dash trick to oneshot crusher

[cerulean lava]

no

[vocal nacelle]

then im teaching you,
rev up -> heavy attack at crusher -> press F/ult/use skill **after ** your evis hit the crusher

all your rev attack damage will turn into crit attack and should oneshot crusher

and it depends which one your teammate struggle first crusher or horde, zealot is a very mobile class

[cerulean lava]

lol seriosly? 😄

[willow latch]

This is basically my build for heavy swords

With some variety

[cerulean lava]

but you guys dont have blood redemption at all?

[willow latch]

Fuck is that

Is that a perk?

I don't know most of the perks names tbh

[cerulean lava]

+50 toughness replenishment on kill

[willow latch]

I know the abilities and grenade names

[willow latch]

I might

I'd have to check

Let me boot up my Xbox rq

[vocal nacelle]

feel like thats useless

[willow latch]

There are better toughness perks for sure

[woeful root]

blood redemption gets overshadowed by Second Wind on the right side

[vocal nacelle]

if you are using blazing piety build , your toughness regen comes from spamming fury of the faithful after 2-3 evis swing

[woeful root]

since second wind is the value of 6 melee kills w/ blood redemption per dodge

[dapper shard]

It’s not like the skill is much worse than say, Scourge, if it is worse at all

[cerulean lava]

so +% toughnes replenish is not the same as Toughness replenish % ...?

[dapper shard]

And you need either to proceed to the Second Wind

[woeful root]

you get 5% toughness per melee kill by default

5% * 1.5x = 7.5%

so blood redemption gives 2.5% extra toughness per melee kill

15% / 2.5% = 6

[cerulean lava]

i am so stupid then

😄

[vocal nacelle]

basically cheap/more annoying confident strike

[woeful root]

descriptions are very inconsistent and terminology is wish-washy so it's understandable

i'm only confident about this stuff because i've suffered through 1+ years of this

e.g., I think "toughness replenishment" is also used to refer to coherency toughness regeneration only in some talent nodes?

guh (this talent only affects the toughness that you receive from the coherency toughness regeneration, and it does not apply to any other source of toughness regeneration)

[willow latch]

I actually ended up reworking my heavy sword build when I was checking what perks I had

I was based off of my hammer build cause I was lazy so I had some perks that were less necessary since my focus is entirely crits

[gusty whale]

what about lynchpin on ogryn

[woeful root]

that should also be only toughness coherency regen but maybe things changed with patch 13

[dapper shard]

That’s toughness regeneration in coherency

[woeful root]

i assume it's still toughness coherency only

[gusty whale]

this is what it says

[vocal nacelle]

lynchpin is toughness regen

[woeful root]

guh

[gusty whale]

WHAT DOES IT MEAN

does it mean more from coherency passive regen

[dapper shard]

Well, yeah, that’s clearly Toughness regeneration via coherency

[vocal nacelle]

your natural toughness regen

[dapper shard]

[gusty whale]

does it mean more toughness replenishment from all sources while in coherency

THE NUMBERS, MASON

[woeful root]

only from coherency toughness regen

[gusty whale]

ah cool i will send this talent into the abyss then

[woeful root]

the only reason i can think of is that they developed this in a different language and the translator didn't know the context of this ability

[vocal nacelle]

its an old meta build before talent rework it got nerfed from 100% to 50%

[woeful root]

it's so whacky that this is a consistent error in all the coherency toughness regen talents

[dapper shard]

I can relate to this headcanon

The funny part is, these things are typically called relatively tangibly in the code

[willow latch]

That is definitely not the case

[woeful root]

yeah that trips me up cuz the code stuff is in english

[willow latch]

They're swedish dude

[cerulean lava]

for me it is even more confusing as the developed it in swedish translated to english and someone translated it to polish ---> and it makes no sens in most cases 😄

[willow latch]

Like 90% of swedes speak English

[woeful root]

yeah, but it's the only explanation that makes sense to me

because it's very obviously wrong in english if you know both swedish and english

[willow latch]

Idk I understand it just fine

[woeful root]

and are a developer who knows what it actually does

[willow latch]

You passively regen toughness in coherency

[cerulean lava]

is it build for hammer or evis

[vocal nacelle]

that doesnt mean they can explain it correctly

[willow latch]

Heavy swords

[gusty whale]

my current setup
3x wound curios with gunner DR, toughness, health
flak carapace rampage shred evis XV
ranged whatever preference

[woeful root]

the descriptions imply that it affects all toughness replenishment if you're in coherency (or it might mean that your teammates in coherency gets to benefit from it)

it does not strictly say that "only toughness regen from coherency" gets boosted

[willow latch]

Idk I just assumed that's what it was

That's what made sense to me

[woeful root]

and you managed to assume correctly

but consider that other people might not have the correct assumption

as is the case here

and many many other cases

[cerulean lava]

ok i did not see this comming 😮 Martydrom is not something i see in builds...almost at all

[willow latch]

Yeah I'm cursed with immense knowledge unfortunately

Tony Stark level intellect

[gusty whale]

martyr is insane actually

[dapper shard]

If I hadn’t been a Tide game nerd, this would have been very confusing to comprehend without code insight

[willow latch]

Martyrdom fucking rocks

My first build was a martyrdom build

[gusty whale]

martyr zealot can onetap crushers without ult

[willow latch]

I still need thrust level 4 for my hammer

[gusty whale]

martyr zealot can frontally charge bonbon and maybe even come out on top

[willow latch]

Melk hasn't given me it once

[woeful root]

i shrimply never played ogryn and had people remark on the correct interpretation of the talents (pre-patch 13)

[willow latch]

And I upgrade like 30 fucking hammers

[dapper shard]

Guess what, non-Martyr Zealots can also do that

[vocal nacelle]

play ogryn now

[woeful root]

no.

[gusty whale]

faith is the strongest weapon

[willow latch]

Ogryn is fine but I feel like I get rocked pretty easily whenever I'm not fighting a hoard

[vocal nacelle]

https://tenor.com/view/darktide-reaction-gif-15379033581543476886

[willow latch]

Well not totally

But it feels like that more often than when I play Zealot or Vet

[woeful root]

i will probably just be kickback gaming if i ever touch ogryn

[gusty whale]

i was a psyker main but since there is no force greatsword i find myself gravitating back towards zealot

[willow latch]

Kickback is very fun

[woeful root]

in which case my brain is at a severe health risk

[willow latch]

We need more weapons in this game

[gusty whale]

the big sword calls to me

[willow latch]

Vermintide weapons are so unique comparatively

[gusty whale]

we have a lot of vermintide weapons actually

1h sword (dclaw)
great hammer (but it's single target) (thunder hammer)
executioner sword (but has horde clear) (evis XV)

[willow latch]

I guess just cause there're not variants of weapons in VT and because there's less weapon overlap between classes

[gusty whale]

flame sword except it is good for more than just cc (illisi)

[willow latch]

Yeah I know some of them are the same but I want my spear and shield

And my dual swords

[willow latch]

The executioner sword has pretty decent hoard clear

[gusty whale]

bolt staff (voidstrike)
flamestorm staff (self-explanatory)
some bastardization between coruscation and the one i forgot the name of (trauma)

[willow latch]

Horde*

[gusty whale]

conflagration

that was the name

[willow latch]

Yeah it's just that none of the weapons I use in VT are in DT really

[gusty whale]

elf greatsword...

force greatsword...

hand it over..

[willow latch]

Sword and dagger

Spear and shield

[gusty whale]

i can also consider voidstrike to be longbow-adjacent

[willow latch]

I suppose

[gusty whale]

handgun (except it has 5 shots now) (volvo)

[willow latch]

None of the weapons in this game do it for me like the longbow does

[gusty whale]

i guess illisi might play a bit like dual swords

but not exactly

it does fall into the oops! all sweeps! category of weapons

[willow latch]

Longbow mixed with Kurnous' Reward is so goated

[gusty whale]

and it is also just a single weapon

longbow with blood shot (voidstrike with surge blessing and true aim)

[willow latch]

Voidstrike ain't as good for sniping shit though

At least not in my experience

I have played much Psyker

But the longbow is great cause it's big damage and I can zoom in with it

[gusty whale]

for faraway and/or moving targets i just use headsplosion

[willow latch]

I want a powerful, single shot rifle

[gusty whale]

rifle? no can do

[willow latch]

Bolt action type shit

[gusty whale]

best i can do is revolver

[willow latch]

https://tenor.com/view/agony-gif-23084585

I do like the revolver

[gusty whale]

what caliber is that? emperor knows

[willow latch]

But longbow is just so good

[gusty whale]

https://tenor.com/view/vermintideii-vermintide-ii-warhammer-sigmar-viktor-saltzpyre-gif-10045273004143974735

how it feels to play weapon spec revolver vet

[willow latch]

I ain't ever getting these stats without my bow

I took the rangedpill

Kept trying to play waystalker as melee like a fool

[gusty whale]

if you're not top on melee and ranged kills, are you even playing elf?

think about it

[willow latch]

I was very not good at this game for awhile

When Darktide came out on Xbox I had like 100ish hours on Vermintide

Then I got over 250 on DT and went back to VT

And I'm now significantly better at it

Took me a few warm up matches to get into the swing of it again though

[gusty whale]

vermintide became unplayable after the necromancer patch

for me specifically, for some reason

weird performance issues crept out of nowhere that weren't there before

[willow latch]

I haven't had that issue on xbox

[gusty whale]

i spent a bit of vermintime

[willow latch]

I've crashed a few times but that's it

Maybe ask on the forums and someone can help you out

Cause that is weird

[willow latch]

Playing since launch?

[gusty whale]

not really

picked it up a few years down the line methinks

[willow latch]

Damn so you just no lifed that shit?

When did you get it?

I got it in January of 2023 I think

Yeah January of 2023 I just checked

My total time played is like 7 or 8 days now

[gusty whale]

i am not sure how to look that up

bit less hours in DT though

[willow latch]

I just checked my earliest achievement

[gritty grail]

What is the difference between the mk 3 and mk 6 combat blade. I haven't tried out the mk 6.

[dapper shard]

Moveset. They perform different types of attacks, both heavy and light

Different types, I.e., the swings are performed at different angles and/or may have distinct damage profiles, higher or lower, depending on what the swing does

@gritty grail

[gusty whale]

mk 3 has stabby heavies, mk 6 has sweepy heavies

pretty much it

[gusty whale]

apparently the answer is december 2019

[brave breach]

So you've been to poggers bridge

[ionic moth]

2 neet regiments vanished without trace at pogger's bridge

[gusty whale]

i don't know anything about any nuln regiments

[hoary vessel]

damn did you get em yet

[sharp flicker]

Ok does anyone know the actual rules of what occurs with players taking over from bots

as far as ive been able to udnerstand over the 18 months..

[vocal nacelle]

What rule

[sharp flicker]

if you take over from a bot when that slot wasnt filled before the mission, you get the bots health

but that rule doesnt apply if a player quits and you take over from the bot that replaces them

if you disconnect, a bot takes over, but if you rejoin, you get given back the health you had

and new players taking over people who have quit, also dont seem to get the bots health

what im looking for any confirmation on is what actually is happening when a player takes over from a bot when the bot took over from a player

it seems to me that the new player gets the old players health/ammo

but ive never been able to test that

definitely if you quit when you're captured, the bot gets full health and joins the remaining upright players, but if you rejoin your go back to captured

[vocal nacelle]

Can mark the timer

How long it took for server to overwrite the player status

[cerulean lava]

@gusty whale do you think maniac and weak spot is good enough ?

Spend 2 mil on xv to get this one but the blessings were bad

So have to leave perks untouched

[signal gate]

Maniac fine, weakspot sucks (evi doesnt have a high finesse ratio, and the perk only gives the %damage to the bonus damage from weakspot, not the entire hit)

But if you had to change both blessings oh well

[gusty whale]

workable bevause XV is still just a good weapon

[silver cloud]

tips on beating the karnak twins?

[inner hull]

new to pc version, any good mods i should get?

[vocal nacelle]

What difficulty

[vocal nacelle]

Most ui mods is good

Or reduce visual effect mod

[inner hull]

is there a mod to highlight elites when aiming at them?

[vocal nacelle]

You can tag?

Tag highlights elites/special

Its the basic thing in tide game

[silver cloud]

Hardest

I’m running a psyker but nobody queues anymore

[inner hull]

i saw a video where dude was highlighting everything while aiming so i figured it was a mod

instant highlighting

[vocal nacelle]

One by one or all of it instantly?

All at once is vet ult

One by one is spamming the tag button

[inner hull]

one by one

i know about tagging

but figured it was a mod

[vocal nacelle]

#vox-lfg-lexicanum , find party in lfg channel

Dont remember any mod for auto tagging

But you can rebind your tag to mouse click(very annoying)

[lime idol]

Most likely a keybind (tag set to same keybind as right click)

hey could someone help me with an penance

[wooden meadow]

Any tips for the Frenzied Killer achievement? I've gotten to 89 kills and its just bothering me. Ogryn nuke nope, zelot flamer nope.

also I'm a bad shot whats the best gun for Serial Killer 20 headshots in a row

Hey any tips to get the on overwatch penance for veteran?

[vocal nacelle]

use revolver or shotgun

and get gud at aiming

wait which one is this?

the no damage one or the 90% accuracy?

[vernal plaza]

No damage

[vocal nacelle]

ah, pick voice of command and stack toughness

[turbid zealot]

Good evening and howdy, may I have some tips on how to complete Dodge This (3)(15 headshots in 10 seconds)? Been stuck on 14/15 for a while, now. I use the Columnus MK V IAG with either 79 or 80% stability, I park myself in front of hordes, aim at head height and let 'er rip, but I just can't seem to get enough headshots fast enough. Are heads bobbing and weaving too much or am I just bad?

[vernal plaza]

Low difficulty carnival

[vocal nacelle]

revolver?

or plasma

[vernal plaza]

Id rather do headhunter too for more stable aim

[vocal nacelle]

that too

well plasma have 100 cleave so you can shoot 4 times in 10s maybe you'll get it eventually

or use recon

[turbid zealot]

Ty both, I didn't even consider plasma ngl

[ornate gate]

malice or higher no melee damage taken

[turbid dock]

take shout, and block/push often

you can take melee hits, just not take any melee health damage

so you can get hit on yellow toughness or 100% blue toughness and still be fine

[tropic pumice]

Anyone have any tips for the twins on damnation? A friend and I have been at it for a long time now and cant seem to beat the final fight. We keep getting close, but never past them having like 1/4 (or even 1/2) health.

[lime idol]

Kill Rodin (gun) first, coordinate breaking their shields at around the same time

Try to disarm (trigger then leave) Rodin’s gas traps as u go in the fight without damaging ur teammates

Rodin’s shields take extra dmg from melee

If u have veteran, bring field improvisation talent to heal corruption with medkit, and use frag spam to kill elite waves (rager / mauler)

Bring weapons that have good dmg vs flak/carapace

Shield + taunt Ogryn can keep Rinda (sword) busy really well
Gunlugger Ogryn has very high dps potential (since this fight doesn’t care about ammo economy)

[dense tulip]

Also, Rinda's shield takes more damage from ranged

[signal gate]

Yes but it’s more like her shield is neutral, she doesnt have the ranged protection other void shields have, just taking normal damage, but her shield isn’t weak to melee either

Iirc

[vocal nacelle]

get 1-2 people that can hold boss aggro preferably ogryn the rest got sweep the mines and kill the elite/special spawns

[dense tulip]

yeah, I checked and that's correct. Thanks for correcting me

[craggy minnow]

i tried queueing orthus damnation to farm some scab kills for contracts, theres a dude there whos trying to get people to do secret mode with him
i do not understand how he thinks he's going to succeed

hes just waiting for pubs to queue into him

[tired hawk]

anyone know current resource caps? dockets/plasteel/diamantine

[dapper shard]

25M

all resources are capped at that value

[tired hawk]

interesting!

thankyou

[topaz ridge]

so i was wondering im very new to the game and i was moddign some guns and i saw that some of my perks had a lock next to them does this mean they arent like active or just i cant change them , ( i can proved a screenshot if i wasnt clear :) )

[graceful raptor]

at the moment, when you change perks or blessings, out of 2 perks or blessings, you can change one, and the other will be locked

like, you have 2 blessings, you can change only one (and you will be able to change this one blessing afterwards as many times as you want, but the other will be locked forever)

[topaz ridge]

does this mean the locked one is like not active or i just cant change it

[graceful raptor]

just cant change it

[topaz ridge]

ok thank you :)

[serene grove]

Guys how does thrust work. Is it 20% damage per stack so 60% attack at three stacks. Or is it 20% when at 3x stacks

[dapper shard]

The former

[serene grove]

Cool thx

[torn cargo]

After the update, game instantly crashes due to - I think - outdated mods. Which particular mod you had to update/remove from the list to prevent the crash?
Edit: I had to remove the weapon customization mods. The plugin and the extended one.

[little flax]

Guys, all my plasteel was just... gone.
From 3k down to this, which is impossible since I got several hundreds just from my last Auric alone.

[graceful raptor]

and i just had 80k down to 15k

[little flax]

I-I only yellowed the new shotgun and bolt pistols.
That was all my plasteel from literal months of no content...

[void forge]

Well 3k is not a lot

[graceful raptor]

now you can drop the game for another half a year and then cry about having no plasteel again

[void forge]

That is like 2 gold weps

[little flax]

Also, Mk VIIa is still shit for a Recon Lasgun.
My last Auric before this screenshot was a mess. We made it, but it was not a clean run.

[graceful raptor]

what exactly gameplay help do you need when you just said that you dont even play the game

[little flax]

Haven't got any reason to spent plasteel after getting my godrolls, months of casual Auric runs netted me plenty of plasteel.

Darktide was my 'I just got back home and I want to shoot something to take the edge off before I go to sleep' game.

[void forge]

Okay, this channel is specifically for help though, what exactly do you need help with?

Like, did your plasteel get eaten too fast and you're complaining? Or did it literally disappear without any crafting done?

[vocal nacelle]

80K gone

Farming 4 weapon type

Still need more

[austere saddle]

what the kark are theses karking rolls? 500K rolling for a 370+ bolt pistol, highest twas a 362....

I made 4, all were above 370, just got to be built different

[austere saddle]

suffering for the GW gods, the suffering must flow

to clarify: i mean rolling grays for a 370+ base mod score

[torpid kestrel]

Yep

[gritty grail]

Is there anywhere I can look at what blessings these new weapons have?

[austere saddle]

mod on nexus

[gritty grail]

ugh I didn't want to download that. Oh well, thanks.

[austere saddle]

quick google found this; https://darktide.gameslantern.com/

[torpid kestrel]

Game should show them by default, it doesn't really add anything to the game to have them hidden until unlocked

[gritty grail]

didn't realize they had the new weapons on here. This is perfect.

[austere saddle]

indeed

hey yall im returning to the game after a while and im kinda lost in the updates. I seem to have lost all my vet builds. Anyone help me get something going in the current patch?

idk, the talent setup i had got reset ig and idk whats good anymore

there is a website with builds from other people

Posted on the bug report forums but i'm curious if anyone else is having this issue. I'm unable to assign a keybind for my secondary action
https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/keybind-unassigned-cannot-assign-key/96242

[vocal nacelle]

i think there's a workaround for that

you need to turn your config file into read only

i can try that tomorrow but that never fixed the original issue for me

What level do you have to be to unlock tge double barrel shotgun?

Plan to farm blessings

I'm having the same issue, used to bind push to talk to ] (which is bound to a mouse button press). Had to manually bind it each time I launched the game. Now I can't bind PtT to anything, reseting to defaults doesn't fix it either

anyone know a way to fix this i try to change the key binding of the unassigned key binding to be enable play the game further but the games does not nothing when i try to change the key binding it does nothing and stay unchanged anyway i could find a way to fix it ?

before you ask i try with other key but then again it does nothing

even reset the option to default it does nothing is stay always unassigned

UPD.
The issue was not affected by the Hotfix.

personally - didn't. But it's a matter of how the hell they ignore this issue and the fact that it comes back with almost every update

I have tried everything, uninstalling the game, configuring my PC, the audio, updating the drivers, everything and the error continues, it drives me crazy.

[slate island]

how go i get my teammates to stop complaining about me being so far behind, when the reason im so far behind is because they missed half of the loot on the map?

[dapper shard]

Recognise the risk/reward factor and adjust accordingly. If you can afford being far back and fend off anything that will try to take you down, then you've nothing to be worried about, but if you feel like there's no need to stay and loot potentially redundant pick-ups while risking you getting downed, then proceeding is also fine.

You can't stop others from complaining. Period.

Make decisions that you think will benefit others the most, at shortest time expenses, while overlapping with their progression through map sections.

I suppose taking weapons that enable mobility is also handy if you like exploring the maps and collecting as much as you can

[fiery prairie]

Run forwards and scour everything clean. Then lead the horde you have accumulated to them, easy.

[rocky rampart]

which pickaxe for ogryn?

[slate island]

theres a LOT of map

[fiery prairie]

bruh, the maps are linear.

[zealous dome]

What are you looking for? Single Target?
Crowd Control/Clear?
All arounder

[slate island]

you heard it here first folks, every map in the game is a straight line with no side rooms

[fiery prairie]

Still linear, still one vector of your progress direction

All the "branches" can be checked, I have a chronic plasteel deficiency, so I do check them.

Does anyone happen to know what the min pellet count is for the Ironhelm double shotty?

[remote oyster]

Can anyone explain to me what's Rending exactly? The wikia doesn't say

[gray iris]

Rending is a buff that is Armor Piercing applied to you, making attacks or certain weapons more effective against armor. Alternatively, Brittleness is a debuff applied to enemies that lowers their armor rating for whatever duration a skill/blessing may say.

[vocal nacelle]

More rending = bigger damage at enemies

Except unarmoured

[inner sun]

hey guys my atoma is bugged... she dont follow what missions ive done,,, like said complete 1 strike on heresy , i completed three and still nothing.. switched operators, same

i mean sister prine

i tried installing mods but it fd up my sound so i deleted them... should i reinstall the game?

will that even help? cause it seem like an ingame issue

[rocky rampart]

I just dont get the pickaxe, everytime I run it I feel like I should be playing hammer zealot instead.

Learn the combo, its very slow and need patience

Going full left tree can help resolving slow mobility and attack speed

Is there a way to change the size of the charge bars on warp attacks for psyker? It's making the game a uncomfortable and sickening experience

I’ve made a ton of progress on Xbox, but I want to switch to steam. Can I transfer my progress?

[sand wave]

Haven't played in a very long time, getting back into things - something that's always confused me are the stamina bars, they change depending on the weapon, is it better to have more bars or fewer bars?

[woeful root]

depends, since weapons can differ in sprint cost, block cost, and push cost

the downside of more bars is that it'll relatively regen slower, so high cost and high bar is worst than low cost and low bars

[sand wave]

gotcha, thanks

[vocal nacelle]

Nope

I just ask because I know I havent, aint gonna complain tho 😉 cheers Cacti o7

[quick remnant]

That is indeed strange, have you done the secret mode ? Maybe the game bugged out if you did it in a lower difficulty

[green relic]

yeah, altho it was a while ago.. maybe a bug helped me out

[slim geyser]

figured it out

it was my router shitting itself for some reason giving me sub 1kb of network speed as soon as I start a match

either my router or my wifi adapter

[rigid wasp]

IDK if this has been reported, but the purchase of Aquilas is broken. You must restart game if you choose a package.

[coral violet]

this just needs to connect or actually stagger for it to work?

[green relic]

One more question I hope it's ok. For the reward, I remember two different charms. One silver, one gold (for Damn) Is that still a thing or is there just the one reward?

[quick remnant]

There are 2, 1 for Regular Damnation and 1 for the Secret mode Damnation

[green relic]

Maybe I'm missing the secret one then, no gold

There any plans for a color blind mode being implemented in the future? My fiancee is loving the game but is having a rough time figuring out things like kill hitmarkers, player color/pings, the light puzzle was a fun time too

Is anyone else having issues with "Praise the God-Emperor!" Zealot penance not tracking? Ive been stuck with the espionage mission not updating and the later ones all saying that all missions are 2/x and still no espionage tracking

[vocal nacelle]

nope, you are not

a tip from old vermintide 2 mechanic, before ressing switch to melee and hold block while ressing that include if you are getting ressed so you can survive the next overhead aimed at you when you wake up or just spam your aoe ult

and know which one to res/rescue first

let's say 2-3 teammate got downed it depends on the situation the order of res

i would rescue bubble psyker first -> shout vet/ relic zealot first if there's too many gunner

[proven pebble]

Anyone else having trouble with the each mission on a Difficulty Penances not tracking correctly? I've done a Heresy investigation, Repair and Assassination but it's not tracking correctly

[sage coral]

Read the message two before yours. Probably a related problem that's affecting multiple penances of this type.

[coral violet]

in darktide you autoblock when reviving teammates even with guns/staves

always rescue the ogryn first since he can at least chain that into another res and all his ults instantly make more space in cqc

[vocal nacelle]

The problem is after you finish reviving teammate, releasing autoblock

[vocal nacelle]

Its situational but ogryn is top priority if you can do it

Don't think we have a release date yet

I would assume soon since it was originally going to release with this update

[solemn roost]

ill keep this in mind, if i need to extract my blessing

would be nice if it was automatic

[candid sparrow]

What actually is toughness dmg reduction? Is it how much the toughness reduces the bleedthrough health dmg? Or is it just how much dmg enemy hits do to ur toughness?

[woeful root]

the latter (how much dmg enemy hits do to your toughness)

i think so far there's nothing that messes around with melee bleedthrough so far

[vernal canyon]

Is there a common reason that my Touch the Void Penance as psyker won't count mission I'm doing?

[lunar light]

Any suggestions for bolt pistol/shock prod perks?

[lime idol]

on every non-godroll, yes

if u wanna use the weapon then no

[signal gate]

Iirc, blledthrough is calculated after toughness damage reduction but i could be wrong

And the amount of bleedthrough depends on the % of missing toughness. At 50% toughness? 50% bleedthrough. 20% toughness? 80% bleedthroughs

[stone python]

Are there any enemy attacks that CAN'T be blocked?

like the big armored guys overhand swings?

[vivid gate]

If I recall you can block those, but they take an excessive amount of stamina to. I try to dodge them anyway so I haven't been paying close attention. They can definitely be parried by the Devil's Claws alt though

[graceful raptor]

plague ogryn's overhead

iirc

i forgot when i got hit by plague ogryn the last time, may be not right

[vivid gate]

I think you're right on that one, it used to be blockable, but now it's an AOE attack

[graceful raptor]

[frigid nova]

Where does it say what the difference is between difficulty settings? Other than "harder is harder" of course. Also, is there anything resembling a campaign story in this game or is it actually just random missions until 30? I've gotten 2 classes to 30 and haven't figured that out yet.

[quick remnant]

There aren't really any story, except the assignement part

[frigid nova]

Also, is there any way to see your stats? There's no point in theorycrafting if the end results are always "maybe it feels a little better"?

[coral violet]

weapon stats you just hover over the bars in inspect menu

[idle robin]

I need a bit of help here, I’m doing all the penances for all the classes and I just have zealot left and I was wondering, is backstabbing 200 ranged when out of coherency intentionally dreadful or is there a way to speed it up ? Because most time it doesn’t count as a backstab or allie’s keep swooping in to get kills and I get like 8 or less per mission.
At this point I must be doing something wrong.

[idle pumice]

might be worth setting up a private lobby with friends to get that one quicker

Question. Blessings on the agni shock maul: Which ones do folks think are the best to go for, currently?

Also, does anyone know if the stun cooldown for Overwhelming Force is per enemy, or global?

ie, could it trigger on two gunners at once?

did some quick testing in the meat grinder: Stun appears to be a global cooldown, but it also adds an unlisted DoT effect to enemies when it triggers

[coral violet]

run ahead of your team on t3-5(hi int for 3, base for 5) mission, look for sizeable shooter(not gunner) packs, force them to melee and bunch them up. then stagger and either cleave multiple for speed or cut them one at a time for it to count more consistently

should be done in 2 MAYBE 3 missions

[patent field]

What's the average stat you should use for your curios

[vocal nacelle]

20-21 hp

16-17 toughness

3 stamina ( ew stamina )

1 wound ...... just one or not using any is fine

top tier perk is gunner resist, sniper resist always get atleast 1

flamer, bomber,hound, mutant resist is pretty much useless

[patent field]

Very well

[vocal nacelle]

what character are you using?

[long crypt]

guess im not allowed to buy from the exchange today

[patent field]

then you get heavy diminishing returns on everything but toughness and hp

[graceful raptor]

the majority of players already beat the twins, you can try to find a team in vox channels here

[nocturne oracle]

If I wanna get the "shoot 43885 free bullets with burst limiter override" penance done asap, should I just use the fastest firing stubber until it's done? Also is it a good weapon lol I'm a metaslave

(I'm exaggerating the number, idk how many it is but it's a lot)

[craggy minnow]

Yes and yes

Achlys stubber is a top tier glugger gun

[graceful raptor]

pick the 1st difficulty and sniff all the ammo

[craggy minnow]

Once you're in the final section of a map and an ammo crate goes down start holding down fire

The actual fastest way is orthus, teleport to pre boss room, fire all the bullets, reset

Boring though

[graceful raptor]

^ yeah, also an option

[nocturne oracle]

[sand solstice]

is this bugged? just did two investigation missions on heresy and its not going up

[graceful raptor]

yes

[oak portal]

How do stats on weapons work? I can see that low-lvl weapons have less, but is there a threshhold? Should I only start rolling for a good stat combo once i'm 30?

[vivid gate]

Yes, you want to save the rolls till you reach 30. The maximum total points a weapon can reach is 380 for the base stats. Each of those stats will never exceed 80%, so don't ever expect a weapon to have any rating go beyond that

[odd badger]

Why there is no one at the special mission,the ones of the twins,just came back after long break and struggled a lot to kill them on dammnation bc there was never ppl to do it

[vocal nacelle]

because its been 7 months and most people already finished it

try using LFG channel

[past moth]

Yo so some of these penances are completely broken under the missions tab they aren't tracking right at all

[vocal nacelle]

yes

[signal gate]

you can inspect weapons in your inventory screen, and hover over and click stats for a breakdown on what they do and what range they have

Why is it that im wearing death korps of krieg helmet thats supposed to change my vets voice to muffled

But it does nothing

[quick remnant]

Have you checked in your option if it's disabled ?

[oak portal]

Not what I meant. I was asking about the scale of stats. Because I noticed that weapons i get in the beginning have much lower stats compared to ones I get later. I was asking about the mechanics how the rolled stats are attributed to the weapons. Are they 1-1 based on level? Are there tiers? This would be behind the scene knowledge because the game does not tell you this information; which is why I asked.

[sour pulsar]

It cant be cuz my scion helmet works, its the only voice modifier ive found across vet and zealot that works for me

[quick remnant]

Then maybe taking it off and putting it back on ?

[void forge]

It's entirely based on your character level

[sand solstice]

yeah bro the ones for each class that say "completed X amount of missions of each type on heresy or higher" just dont track for me

switch stamina to health or toughness curio

if you can

dont need crunch, unless you want to charge for hours

no stopping also not needed

i recommend picking the top left talent

pickaxe got slow swing if you didnt have heavy hitter keystone, i recommend bleed one or pick another node

[dapper shard]

get rid of red stuff
Definitely get green stuff
consider getting orange stuff eventually
pink are either choices that compete with a different row, or luxury choices if you have spare points

[patent field]

Thanks both of you

[dapper shard]

One more:

This is 15 toughness v 10% toughness damage reduction

the TDR is typically better

[patent field]

Very well

[dapper shard]

If you have any questions about my suggestions, do ask, I play Ogryn a lot and know what they typically go for in their builds and why

[patent field]

For sure mate

[vocal nacelle]

Or go to #ogryn-class

And watch serious discussion because you ask a question

[patent field]

[dapper shard]

This is also a good suggestion, albeit Trample is not horrible, it’s just that it’s 1) a lot of effort to stack it, 2) you do not always want to stack it, and 3) it has relatively low uptime

I.e., you just want to use Indomitable to make minimal amount of space to comfortably dodge, or stagger some elites, what have you

And the bleed upgrade is very consistent offensive/defensive value

[tame moss]

Does anyone know if Fullbore is bugged on Kickback?

are the performance issues on Xbox a known issue? sometimes when booting up the game, it operates at half (maybe less?) of the framerate it normally operates at. I've only been able to fix it by restarting my game. was expecting it to be fixed with the recebt update since it's been a huge problem for the entirety of the time between the carnival update and this most recent one, but it wasnt

hard to justify playing the game when you dont know if you'll have a viable framerate or not, and when you crash randomly on a frequent basis

[robust vine]

[buoyant haven]

I really hope they address the performance issues on Series X.. really annoying

[grim bloom]

how do we do the new tree scan mechanic. Just tried it and found myself really confused

[gleaming mantle]

you flick through all the green dots until one stays white instead of turning red, then click on that one

I'm also pretty sure you can tell which one will be the correct one before selecting any of them, if I recall correctly by one dot being slightly lighter (or was it darker?) than the rest of the green dots. but that's just a pattern I noticed in the few times I've done the objective, I havent done it enough to confirm

[prisma wraith]

Also for each round of the minigame, the correct dots are the same iirc

Should you get knocked out of it

350ish

wait

nvm

sometimes you can get really lucky with stat distribution on a 340-350, but 360+ will have the best luck

Quick play the highest difficulty you can clear reliably, damnation giving the most materials

[void forge]

well actually I think spamming orthus super fast would be faster for mats, wouldnt be very fun though

especially with the low player count that orthus has

[lunar light]

That is unfortunate, I was hoping there was a method I didn't know about

[lime idol]

it's not as fast because damnation (25~30 mins) is ~1k plasteel per game whereas orthus is like 10 mins or so (if u go through whole lvl to get the plasteel) for only 275

[edgy siren]

Anyone have a the bug if you go in a mission with the boltpistol as soon as you swap it crashes? Only with the boltpistol its so weird

[elder gull]

Didn't the new update come with item reworks? How do I access that? All I'm seeing is the old gear system.

[quick remnant]

No

It's announced for after the summer

[buoyant haven]

Anybody know what rending does?

[signal gate]

every weapon has ADMs to various armor types, ranging from 0% to above 100%. Rending will boost the ADM of your weapons. 50%->60% for example, but this will not work on unarmored and infested armor types

if your adm hits or is above 100%, rending will be turned into damage at 1/4th rate. and a player cannot benefit from more than 100% rending bonus from all sources

[dense tulip]

isn't in case of unarmored/unyielding targets it adds 1% of damage for 4% of rending like it does after going over 100% rending for armored targets?

[signal gate]

unyielding behaves as an armor with rending, unarmored it doesn't do anything

iirc

[woeful root]

rending doesn't apply to unarmoured/infested
it does apply to flak/unyielding/carapace/maniac

here's my lengthy copypasta

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 a particular 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.

In summary,

1. When the attack's ADM is <100%, then rending% additively contributes to it.
2. If the attack's ADM is >100%, then rending% additively contributes to it at a reduced rate of 1/4ths.
3. Rending% itself has a hard cap at 100%. Any amount of rending% above that is useless.

[tame moss]

does resistance against gunners work on the smaller gunner trash?

[dense tulip]

nah

chaffe ranged enemies aren't called gunners anyway🤓 so

[pulsar tide]

New to the game playing Veteran. Is there a good overview and perhaps tutorial to get started? Looking around and there is a LOT of information. Just want to start without the 'overload'.

[lime idol]

Which aspect of veteran do u want first

Because even the shortest “need to know” comprehensive guide is 70+ pages and I tried my damn hardest to condense it

[graceful raptor]

a lot but its easy to understand, just take your time learning and have fun while it lasts

i think there are at least 20 videos on youtube like "Things you SHOULD know before playing..."

about vet and other classes - depends on what you like to do, therefore the builds and weapons will be different for every playstyle

[pulsar tide]

OK, I will go the YT route. I was looking around but the 'know this first' is really good. I will also taket the same approach with the Vet class.

[vocal nacelle]

Tutorial cover 40% basic mechanics

The psykanium one

Basic and advanced one

[graceful raptor]

yeah, the game tutorial is very good if you actually listen to what it says

"take cover"

i see so rarely when someone takes cover

then i see them going down

btw, its very useful to learn how shooters behave, so you can take an advantage of it

Sun Tzu's book comes in handy in this game

[dense tulip]

fundamentals are the same for all 4 classes anyway. Possibly with partial exception of Ogryn since lad is a bigger target

[turbid zealot]

Y'all know a good map and difficulty to encounter Ogryn Reapers on? Need to dodge 410 of their shots

Similar information for Crushers would also be appreciated but it's not as important to me; I encounter Crushers way more often than Reapers

[vocal nacelle]

Play auric

[turbid zealot]

https://tenor.com/view/clueless-aware-twitch-forsen-emote-gif-25354609

[vocal nacelle]

Before they changed enclavum baross end event it used to spawn 5 reaper

For crusher play civi maelstrom

[turbid zealot]

Huh, I think I remember that actually

Also ty

Just gonna have to prepare myself to kiss Flawless Execution goodbye for a while lol

[ornate stag]

Does Close Damage refer exclusively to melee, or can it apply to close-up ranged damage too?

[signal gate]

Close damage refers to range

Uhh i forgot the exact distance and if the buffs even translate to melee

[vivid gate]

Per last patch it's now up to 12.5 meters, and yes it does affect melee

[rotund pond]

dont know if its my dumbass or what, however im getting some insane input lag at the moment, ive checked my internet and is averaging 100 mbps. i dont know what to do and im scared

[graceful raptor]

just had it too like 30 mins ago, fixed itself after a little time

just some server issues, everyone has them

[rotund pond]

ok thxs bby

[patent field]

On the off chance i do play a private match with a mod, whats a good bot loadout

[sour pulsar]

There should be a completely downed state for the crusher, so like with maulers where you can knock one on its back completely, crushers only fall back on their hands and get up quickly, should have a second stagger threshold

[forest halo]

is 'flawless execution' bugged for anyone else? i just grinded through 14 malice missions in a row and its not showing any progress...

[forest halo]

nevermind just got it. my count was off

[cosmic lagoon]

there's absolutely no way i meet you here in all places mr blonde

NAH WHAT HOW

you're not the one i thought you were

[worthy nexus]

anyone willing to help me do the malleus monstrorum pennance?

[cosmic lagoon]

sure what's your FS numbers

[vale juniper]

Hello, whats the optimal horde clear combo for the Cadia Mk XIIIg Assault Chainsword? Is it push attack into light into heavy then interchange between light and heavy?

[zealous dome]

Light spam, make sure you have Wrath on it

[lime idol]

👍

[vale juniper]

100%?

[lime idol]

no

it's PA > [L3 > H3] now

[zealous dome]

This patch linked L3 into H3, that's right

[vale juniper]

had a feeling, nothing else has an arc like that combo

[wise ginkgo]

I just completed the Orthus Offensive on Damnation difficulty AFTER already having unlocked the secret hard mode. But I did not get purple penance reward. Do I need to enable hard mode during my misssion? Because the penance makes it sound like you just need hard mode unlocked?

[signal gate]

yea, you need to clear on secret hard mode

[wise ginkgo]

Damn, that penance needs better wording lol

[spiral gale]

Im just curious what’s good perks for the hacker shotgun

[dapper shard]

Unyielding, Flak, Infested, Maniac seemed to be mentioned whenever the double barrel was brought up IIRC

Flak and Infested or Maniac and Infested would be my go-to, though; the choice mostly varying by your preference of targets (I’d say Infested is staple, as it allowed you to very easily kill a lot of poxwalkers with minimal pellet count being accounted for)

[soft violet]

Is Games Lantern a good site for Darktide builds? I'm a simple ingoramus.

[waxen crypt]

Can anyone help me with 2 penances? - Shocking Stuff and Cliffhanger

[sleek mural]

I have a mod-related question - If there's a better place to ask, please redirect me. I grabbed the perspectives third person mod and also the accompanying mods suggested by the mod author. One of them, 'Dynamic Crosshairs' has a feature that allows your crosshair to automatically reposition itself, which makes it far easier to aim in third person. My main concern is whether this mod is considered to be an unfair advantage and if I'm safe to use it without running the risk of being banned.

[woeful root]

the gist is that, as long as it's clientside, it's probably fine
e.g., stuff like the healthbars mod has been fine

[sleek mural]

Thanks for the reply.

[woeful root]

oh yeah a counterexample would be neat
something like the "shirtless" mod that's been floating around is considered a no-go because the changes also show up to other players
the usual "for the drip" mod is considered fine because it's just client-side changing your cosmetics to only you

[sleek mural]

Thanks again

[rigid wasp]

I don't remember seeing good ones there whenb I last checked, but it's been a while

Usually I just ask in the class chats

[alpine robin]

Tryin to do the no-melee penance for vet, then a karken pox-walker sneaks up behind me

[chrome umbra]

So do Deaemonhosts only attack multiple targets on Damnation? I've had a few heresy games where a daemonhost gets upset but they generally have only killed 1 person and left. Could've sworn they go after multiple people on heresy+ in the past

was that changed at some point in the last 6 months or am i crazy?

[vocal nacelle]

yes got nerfed

[chrome umbra]

ok i thought so. im kinda sad about that lol

i liked daemonhosts being extra dangerous on higher difficulties. do they still go after multiple people on damnation? dont really play that difficulty often

[stoic locust]

No, unless the team has enough damage to reasonably kill one its just kind of

Welp

You fucked around

Time to find out

The only collateral they inflict is corruption

[vocal nacelle]

all difficulty is 1 kill now

which is sad

[signal gate]

All difficulty one kill to prevent griefers and the rare infinite target bug

[chrome umbra]

fair enough. i think that takes away the fun of the enemy honestly

[vocal nacelle]

still exist tho

i found few prick trying to do it

[vernal plaza]

Not rare, just fatshark spaghetti code
Tl;dr never revive someone while dh is active

[signal gate]

Idk what caused it but before the change, i remember the DH going on a spree killing 3 of my teammates, about to kill me too but I guess it hit it’s time limit and I soft reset it by doing some weird stair vaulting so it left

[vernal plaza]

If someone alt f4 or gets revived then the kill counter goes back to 2

[rigid wasp]

Don't worry, we can always have that one knob who triggers the daemonhost and leaves as soon as they go down

Because, surprise, they don't target the bot that replaces the player

I had the displeasure of dying to that exact instance

[buoyant haven]

lol no worries

[trail crown]

Don't supose anyone is free to help me get Just a flesh wound?

[humble dew]

What region?

[safe surge]

hey anyone wanna help me n my mate beat karnak twin hard nmode??

ogryn and zealot

[trail crown]

North America East 55-64ms

[humble dew]

Alas, Oceania. gl tho!

[trail crown]

thanks anyway!

[half compass]

what do the green arrows/rank icons under some of the missions mean?

[quick remnant]

It mean you've previously accomplished that mission (account wide) in a certain difficulty

[cyan wind]

geez auric maelstrom feels impossible with pugs now

[sleek mural]

Basically only doable when they keep leaving after dying and getting replaced by bots, which then get replaced by living players

Which is stupid and shouldn't be a thing

[void forge]

Pugs are plenty doable, just gotta be good

[sleek mural]

That's the problem.

You can't rely on randoms to do that

[void forge]

Then you carry

Still doable

[sleek mural]

True

[cyan wind]

felt ok before recent patch but now... it's a bit too sweaty for my tastes imo

[sleek mural]

My point remains that a team shouldn't be allowed to just come back when people rage quit, then new people take their place

happens so often in maelstrom

I've many a time finished a mission with like 3rd generation party members

[signal gate]

better than insta losing because of DCs/crashes

until technology advances enough, I'm fine with people abusing the leave/dc so the game continues to go on if someone crashes/dcs out of their control

[sleek mural]

That is true and unfortunate. But people who die while still in the game, then intentionally quit out of the game should stay dead until rescued, I think

[cyan wind]

ok think I'm gonna take a break till they tweak difficulty more... losing game after game (sometimes near the end) is just frustrating. should have gotten the penance done before this update fml...

[sleek mural]

what are you playing on?

People can be pretty elitist when it comes to tide, but who cares? Just drop down a difficulty or play missions with more forgiving conditions if you keep losing

[cyan wind]

I just wanna get the penance over with lol, it really sucks when it was moderately doable one patch before and suddenly it's so much harder for no reason

am like at 15/30 or so

[sleek mural]

Fair enough.

Haven't looked too much into the patch yet, so I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to

[cyan wind]

general intensity increases to many missions/director spawns/enemy buffs as well

and for people saying just carry, dragging dead weight through the mission only to lose at the end for some bs reason or luck is the opposite of fun for me...

is there a feedback feature or such for fatshark, I want to complain. to them I've never done this before, it's that bad. I hate this.

[sleek mural]

I do tend to like having competent team mates over having to carry reckless/incompetent ones

Have a private group for vt2, but they're not really into darktide as much, which is a shame

Pubs is a burden one must bear

[cyan wind]

i think the last straw was when we got wiped by shooters/trappers shooting through the floors or through cover while poxer/groaners just materialised from manholes behind us

like how the hell is just spawning enemies on top of the player supposed to be fair? and how are you supposed to engage in the range gameplay or ADS if there's always gonna be some trash mob somehow appearing behind you everytime?

ugh whatever. done for now

[vocal anvil]

team of theseus

[sleek mural]

Exactly

[quiet wharf]

do you guys have any performance / fps problem after latest hotfixes or updates? I have 4070 ti (dlss open and balanced) getting huge fps drops and screen tearing problems after latest updates? Before updates there is no problems like that.

[raven turtle]

yes

[turbid dock]

What's your CPU? Darktide is alot more cpu intensive

Screen tearing can usually be solved by enabling vsync

Although if your monitor has gsync you need to make sure it hasn't been accidentally turned on/off in the Nvidia control panel

[remote badger]

What gear quality should I have when I decide to go and do auric missions

[hexed mist]

What's the use for a combat knife's special attack?

[graceful raptor]

with it you can spam the loop fist-light, try it in psykanium

with the green combat knife its slower

[patent field]

Does it stun ragers like the axe special

[graceful raptor]

the stagger is almost non existant

useless

it just converts your next light attack into heavy

[turbid dock]

Its a special heavy that does slightly less damage

[crystal canopy]

The knife punch will stagger ragers if you punch them in the face.

[patent field]

[graceful raptor]

wait really?

i gotta check it

it works like, when they're about to end their combo, only then they want to get staggered by fist

ah nah, you just need to accumulate the stagger

so its just not worth it

[graceful raptor]

so this myth is busted

[crystal canopy]

Nah, I do it all the time. It works.

[graceful raptor]

on damnation?

[crystal canopy]

Yep.

[patent field]

https://tenor.com/view/mythbusters-explosion-boom-busted-gif-19459237

[graceful raptor]

with what mark

doesnt work for me with neither

maaaybe it would work on zealot with +30% impact perk

doesnt work

[graceful raptor]

bullshit, until you prove me this with video

or at least with pics of your build

[zealous dome]

Grievous Wounds Talent, 50% stagger on melee weakspot hits

[graceful raptor]

id check it, but i just closed the game cause it started giving me 3001 and 3013 erorrs

[rigid wasp]

Anyone know exactly how/if:
Tactical axes secondary works?
Do flashlights have any hidden purposes other than illumination?
What are the best curios to go for, unless it depends on class?
Best way to fight ragers?

[graceful raptor]

secondary you mean special attack? if yes, its a fast stagger option that doesnt consume stamina
flashlights trigger daemonhosts
i run 3 toughness, so i dont die from shooters and gunners, and perks are as much gunner res as possible, others vary
dodge back, they dont leave their combo once it starts, the best way is to shoot them from afar of cource

[zealous dome]

I was about to say "waking Daemonhosts" lmao

[graceful raptor]

20 dollars

[zealous dome]

Best way to fight ragers is from far away, if they get close you either keep dodging till you can't, one shot it or keep it staggered

[graceful raptor]

yes, stagger is your best friend

[zealous dome]

If you're an Ogryn, push it

[graceful raptor]

you can always check with creature spawner mod what can stagger ragers and what cant

[rigid wasp]

Awesome, I was doing it right for ragers than. Thought there maybe some secret Tau Kung fu or something to beat them

[graceful raptor]

nah, just get gud

🙂

they are designed to be annoying in melee

and thats awesome

[graceful raptor]

make use of fist attacks from cleavers, the special attacks from picks, the new mauls easily stun them

eviscirators and chain weapons stun them when you rev it and attack

[agile ginkgo]

I need help to get the just a flesh wound Penance is anyone down to help a fellow reject

[graceful raptor]

and always help your teammates when you see some ragers on their asses

[rigid wasp]

Thanks Comrade

[clear cove]

How the fuck are you actually supposed to do the Secret Orthus Offensive mode?

Even my level 200+ friends have been struggling with it, we just can't hack it

[zealous dome]

Each one needs to fulfill a role
Shield Ogryn for taunting bosses and big boom for dangerous enemies
Vet for picking enemies with Plasma/field improv/ frag for hordes
Zealots for boss damage and whatnot
Clear the mines by baiting their explosion
Rush Rodin first

It's really target priority+dps check huh

[dense tulip]

gungryn goes dakka dakka

[gentle solstice]

How come I can't buy a base gray bolter from Brunts armory? It's just not listed

[quick remnant]

Are you on Psyker or Ogryn ?

[gentle solstice]

Veteran, they not get bolters?!

[zealous dome]

They do, I assume you're level 30

[quick remnant]

They should

[gentle solstice]

I'm like lvl 13, probably too low for it to show up. Thanks guys.

/gals

[zealous dome]

Boltgun at level 14

Bolt Pistol at 22

[primal oxide]

I just hit em with the point blank db

[remote badger]

Am planning on doing an auric mission type are there any recommendations on what kind of gear that I should have equipped

[vocal nacelle]

whats your current budget/equipment

[remote badger]

this is my main loadout

and im not really good at getting headshots either

[zealous dome]

If you're on controller, set that dead zone below 0.05

[vocal nacelle]

well its gonna be rough

[remote badger]

The dead zone?

[remote badger]

I kinda figured that it would be tough for me

[ionic moth]

First recommendation is to change the hp and wound curios to toughness curios keep the wound if you're not confident that you won't go down but toughness is most optimal

[vocal nacelle]

atleast get 1-3 gunner resist in your curio and atleast 1 sniper resist

[remote badger]

10-4
