Do you know much about the details?
Sorry I don’t
Ay nws thanks tho for this info Now I just gotta find a few other insane people who wanna try their luck
if you are on asia i can help
is auric 4 harder than normal 5 diffculty
not really? depends what modifier
i thought it was like
hard
ultra hard
super hard
super ultra hard
type of ordering
glad to know i was wrong
Auric simply adds modifiers that change things like the proportion of enemy spawn types, how often they spawn, other environmental conditions, etc.
So it's not a direct increase in difficulty necessarily, since things like enemy HP and general patrol presence/spawn numbers are dictated by the difficulty level (Heresy, Damnation, etc.).
But Hi-Intensity modifiers can give you somewhat of a taste of what the next step up in difficulty could be like, though not 100% representative.
it is hard but its more like intensity hard you are comparing auric 4 with normal damnation, if you say auric 5 then yes its harder 
difficulty chart is something like this :
im still typing it
i found having a knife zealot with chorus was pretty strong, you can keep Rodin from throwing mines for a good bit of the fight, along with generating gold toughness
one of the usecases of chorus
heresy -> hi int heresy -> hi int shock heresy -> auric hi int heresy -> damnation -> hi shock damnation = auric hi shock heresy = auric hi int damnation (debatable) -> auric hi shock damnation
from easiest to hardest
there's separate category for maelstorm 
is there a looking for group channel
thank you
Chorus zealot with chainaxe mk4 to shred shield as fast as possible is prob the safest 4th but another veteran/ogryn doesn’t hurt either
yeah agreed
though i did it with shred chainsword
for faster cdr
tbf i also did this like forever ago
i kinda wanna rerun it
see how i do
Anyone ever load into a qp lobby and have their equipment switched out with another loadout BUT you kept the talent tree of the build you do choose?
I don't me loadouts aren't saving or that an entire different loadout (equipment + tree) is switched, just the melee and ranged (and presumably curios) are switched.
If you swap loadouts too quickly before you get dumped into a lobby wonky shit happens
Maybe that was it? I did pick the loadout before hitting qp, but it put in a lobby RIGHT away. It was kinda fun, getting a some what random build tho.
A few times, alt f4 reconnect and youll get the correct one
I'll do that smart thing next time. I chose to suffer instead. 
Took a few matches to figure it out, before it was 'wait why do my meme knife build has momentum' 
When paying attention to the buffs casts confusion on you.
I don't even have that, everything is as usual apart from the text about global power malfunction at mission terminal incl no power outage in missions?
Strawhat just on the issue everything else seems fine I can get into missions and what not and I see all other event info
Yeah everything is working as intended I just don’t have the challenges
But is there actual power supply malfunc in missions`?
Yes as I said everything is working as intended but I don’t have the challenges
What’s the first tier reward for the challanges I’ll do a low level one and see if it’s registering the challanges and just not showing them
How to play the new event?
Standard mission lights out modifiers have changed to “terror in the dark”
Strawhat I’ve checked it’s an Xbox thing not a game thing
Sorry it took a minute to get a reply from the devs because it's past hours in Sweden. It is meant to be there.
No worries
Yes, it seems to be an Xbox thing based on what you said. Would you be able to submit a ticket? I am going to chase this more in the morning.
It’s from quick resume doing quick resume things, you load back in totally fine but you need to reset the game to update the hud I’m assuming is the issue somehow
So you're able to see the tracker now?
Resetting my game fully got it yeah
OK great, good to know!
Which is strange because everything but the tracker was there and working as intended
But yeah it’s just a quick resume issue, closing the game fully and reopening it sorts it
How worried do I need to be about this new enemy?
Not much once you see it
Where does the enemy show up on each map?
It take a monster slot
Or is it tied to certain difficulties
Ah
I wish some of the stuff that's on pc with mods were on xbox
Like seeing allies ammo, damage charts
Yeah soon as I saw them I wasn’t worried, just confused
I also saved 3 krak nades for them and ruined them lol
Do we have to play terror in the dark to progress the event?
No auric missions? Only standard?
yes to the first
Awful
rinda needs buffs anyways, nromal damn is fine
What's the point of the global condition?
Too easy on normal damnation
She gets nuked each time she pops up
Should've been Hard Mode Rinda
how do i get long bomb?
enclavum baross end event
throw from the 2nd floor at the gate
terror in the dark modifier seem to be beefing up elite/special spawns
Like, to an auric level
or close to it
I'd rather have it be auric or have auric slots for events so they don't interfere with normal auric
I feel like they wanted everyone to play together, since it's the event and all that
Yep normal after patch, will work
Updates commonly break the tool tips.
idk if this is 100% the right place to ask this but could i get some help completing the "Just a Flesh Wound" penance? it's proved to be quite a challenge & i don't really got a dedicated team to really assist
If anyone knows how to get the skulls i would greatly appreciate help finding them. i need about 4-5 more but will be happy with any amount of help youre willing to give. Thanks
Use mods? 
There's guides available already but if you're looking for players to help ya out I don't mind if you're out in Europe
I have a question: what's the best refinement on pickaxe?
which one?
karsolas
LF a squad to assist me with the "On Overwatch" penance
Mods only just tell you if the totem proximity sound is playing but it's better than nothing 
Appreciate you, I am in the US however. I’d welcome the help but understand there’s a time difference
Haha I’ll get on in a few minutes thanks
im online
Anyone want play I have no friends on this I em lvl 5 0907372430
i'll wait for your game to end, np
Yo is the quick work penance still bugged?
no
then why no worky
What happens when you collect all martyr skulls?
u get penance points
Oh sick
Dude what was the "terror in the dark"? Just played a mission with that modifier all i noticed different from a normal assassination mission was rinda karnak
Is she supposed to be the terror in the dark? If so thats disappointing not scary at all, was expecting a carnifex or something
terror in the dark = rinda + light out
Yes.
Same vein as the "Good ol' plasma gun" post.
Damn thats wack af
is there a fix for 3013 yet cause i baught this game when it came out was able to play 1 week and then i couldnt
@covert dawn at least you can play....
currently bugged
3013 is connection/server problem, try using vpn?
...i dont know how to do a vpn ive never had any porblems but but only with this game @vocal nacelle
Try to flush your dns first
Open cmd
Type this "ipconfig /flushdns"
Restart pc
good bug i like 
anyone have any really uncommon knowledge tips? like really niche info that you cant just come across ingame
dodge sliding will use two dodge 'counters'
Hitting the butt have higher damage than hitting the torso 
Branx pickaxe can ignore bulwark shield if you heavy attack on top of the head
You can hold jump to mantle while midair
So let me pull some gamer shit
The classes have different stamina regen delay timers, with psyker being the shortest at .5s, zealot sitting at .75s and veteran at 1s
Pushes work on a 360° radius
The dueling sword, combat axe and tactical axe special attacks stun ragers
Critical hit and weakspot damage perks only affect the extra damage, meaning if you have 100 base and +50 of crit, adding 10% crit damage would add 5 from the 50 instead of 15 from the total 150
Get your tier 4 blessings from melk before weapon mastery gets introduced
Automatic weapons have crit strings, which is a mechanic where they do a couple crits in a row instead of just one
Cleave and armor abort are two separate mechanics, and even if you can cleave a crusher's mass, the armor abort cancels your cleave just like it does with the bulwark's shield; the perfect strike blessing removes the armor abort and allows you to crit swing through carapace and bulwarks
Weapons have varying critical hit rates on base, even those that don't have critical bonus as a weapon stat
Laspistols are one of those, and they have a base crit of... 15%, I think?
The veteran's out for blood talent on the top right works for any kill, including ranged
Psyker's kinetic deflection is based on the psyker's stamina, meaning stamina curios increase the damage KD can block
Mr. Stark, I'm tired
ty @rigid wasp
The las gun push attack on psyker is different to every other class
How could I actually have forgotten that
It's like the one thing I keep complaining psyker doesn't have more of
the knife also has the extra 15% crit chance, and to compensate for crit chains, automatic weapons actually have a lower than normal crit chance
tac axe special can also stun mutants mid charge
combat blade has a special inspect where they do a knife balance trick, vet grenades have one where they spin the pin of the grenade around their finger, ogryn grenades have one where they shake the grenade box before opening, all have a random chance of happening
the values for light and heavy damage on the rashad axe for maniac are mixed up in the code, so you deal much more damage with lights and much less with heavies against ragers and mutants (spaghetti code)
inexonerable judgement on zealot also grants dodge buffs per stack, despite not being listed in the tooltip
the stalwart node of blazing piety for zealot also grants 2.5% extra toughness per kill while piety is active, also not displaying in the tooldip
just like blocks and pushes stated above, the devils claw parry also works 360, as it is considered a block, this also means block weapon and curio perks affect its stamina use (also will use peril with kinetic deflection)
it takes less than one second to get someone out of a net, and yet none of my teammates ever fucking do it even when theyre right next to me
both the flamer and purgatus staff apply 1 extra burn or soulblaze stack if the hit that applied it was a crit
coherency toughness regen does not actually function if there is an enemy near you
🧙
A downed Ogryn can be used as cover
Damn so much small info. Very handy thanks peoples.
Greetings people hailing from Terra! I am a deaf gamer, and I shall keep it very short. Do you know any software that would light the side/top panels of the monitor up as a soundwave effect depending on how loud a given sound is? This would help if something approached from directions as hints for a handicapped like me. It is not a request, more like a "do you know if there is a software that can do it" kind of question. Maybe it would be considered unsanctified and get me banned.
there's a perfect mod for you
well only for specials tho
That's neat if that is the case. Is it allowed to mod the game? Sometimes shooting games have strict policies regarding modding. Perhaps it is permitted in Darktide as it is not a PVP game?
yes its allowed
Most stuff that is in nexus is allowed
most mod is client side visual only
It seems to be similar to how Left4Dead does it? Like in the chat "cough couch smoker is near" or something along those lines.
no its different
directional radar
can indicate :
Barrels
Bursters
Crushers
Daemonhost
Flamers
Grenadiers
Hounds
Maulers
Mutants
Rager
Sniper
Trappers
Tox Bombers
Backstabs
It is worth investigating how to mod the game. Thank you for the suggestion, I bet it will only help me further than not having it ❤️
In the settings there are also text indicators like when a net is gonna catch you
In the spidey sense one
i think most people here using mods, its rather easy to apply it there's youtube guide
Personally i think if you are using like all of the spidey senses settings and you aren’t differently abled you might need a skill issue check
But its nice to see this mod be used right
i use other mod not the spidey sense, dont like the clutter
Giving me something that can shoot is like a real mon-keigh going bananas. I am bad at shooting, but I enjoy Warhammer in general. I played Vermintide 2 for many years, I just stepped into Darktide as my PC can now handle the game. Generally, FPS games are s struggle for me, not just due to my disadvantages, but also because aiming 🙈
Thank god I have chainsaws!
If your good your range weapon is just an accessory to kill that distant special
Melee is as viable as ever
That is also how I utilize ranged weapons.
So the kickback shotgun, and the double barrel, and the braced autogun dont use sights in case you dont like sights like i do
I will use my pepperspray and teaser 
I've seen these on Silo Cluster. Any info regarding those fancy armors?
is it new? has anyone posted it yet
Interesting. Thanks. Never seen them before, hah.
Most of them are dead 💀
Are they called water cartel because they sell fresh water around the corner of hab blocks
Well depend on the meaning of sell, fresh and water too I suppose
on one hand i agree its kinda like cheating to use accommodations for an issue you dont have, on the other hand as long as we win the mission i really dont care what you do to your own experience
(also how am i to judge when someone "needs" an accommodation, i use the scripture/grim/skull detector mod because i cant ever hear them)
Power Supply Interruption (lights out) doesn't occur on Hourglass mission, does it?
It would be funny
I think hourglass get ventillation purge though
Lights Out could work on it since some sections are indoors
But I guess that would take more work
Ya, but only like 1/3 of the map would be indoors and applicable to lights out condition. Might just be more trouble than it'd be worth, but I could envision it.
Could have the mission set during the night
I think so. A lot of the mods are accessibility or quality of life mods. Many people specifically use the Spidey Sense mod because audio cues just don't play sometimes.
After every update or file verification, you'll have to turn mods back on.
As for aiming difficulties, I feel you. Psyker have some not-good-at-aiming friendly weapons like surge staff, purg (fire staff), and their blitz (green row on talent tree). The only thing is, staves have wide scaling. So they are pretty bad at low stat rolls; the worst for that is trauma (which is the first staff that you unlock). Luckily you get access to assail pretty early. Assail carries hard in lower difficulties and is one of the not-good-at-aiming friendly options.
Question: for this special event's progress, must I look specifically for the Terror In The Dark modifier, or any mission counts?
Well, I have my answer: only Terror In The Dark counts.
Does any salvo blessings work on revolvers? Reading how salvo works and what weapons it can be on I’m confused
A salvo is measured from the moment you fire to when your recoil resets. All shots fired within that span of time are in 1 salvo.
Oh I read that salvo is for weapons that have a continuous fire, like burst weapons or full auto, not single shot
Sustained fire is ok for Agripinaa revolver
It’s like you saw my wear gear lol, it’s the agripinaa with substained fire
My pysker has substained fire 3 and trick shooter 4 on it
Maybe I have placed myself on a hill I cannot get down from 🙈
For 13 years I have used Linux, and I have modded plenty of games in the past which has either been like "drop these files from here to here" kind of stuff, or directly through Steam's Workshop system. Darktide is not unplayable without mods, far from it, I just wanted to have the benefits in case there were some, which the mods seem to offer. As a true Drukhari I am, embracing death and misery in Darktide will be glorious regardless. So far I have managed to play for 225 hours, I am not that new to Darktide 🙈
do you have a higher chance of getting T4 blessings when consecrating to orange than just blue?
Oh gotcha
But I am happy that I know there are mods in Darktide, I did not think of it. With time I shall investigate if there is a sneaky way of adding it on my weirdo OS.
If you can, I hope it's not too much of a bother. 
If you look through older posts with "higher chance t4", you see some mention that going from purple to orange does have a higher chance of getting T4 blessings; but you'll find that more people say that higher ratings have higher chances at getting T4 blessings. The rating thing was said by people some whom I find knowledgeable of this game.
I don't personally know nor seen these confirmed. My own experience is that I have more often gotten T4s on oranges than on blues; but that's a single experience.
is it worth buying anything from melk before you hit 30?
Not really
good to know, thanks
no
the odds for crafting/consecrating specifically is all based on the weapons Base Modifier score, which at level 30, ranges from 300-380, the closer to 380, the more likely (but not guarantee, it is just weighting) it is for a weapon to upgrade into a t4 perk or blessing
What is the best / fastest way to level up as a new player?
You'll probably die a lot but that is always an option if you can endure the stress
Otherwise keep doing missions with special conditions and secondary objectives
And if you're able to try and do the current maelstrom, sometimes simple sometimes hell but the xp reward is usually worth it
For example all lvl 4s (without a shocktroop gaundlet cause I didn't have one)
I also recommend not really messing around with upgrading your weapons as you'll quickly out pace your current ones within a few levels and have to buy new ones anyways
I honestly recommend stock damnation if you’re around level 19+ but if you’ve never played beyond malice (3) then consider heresy first
Heresy is basically the difficulty that teaches you the yes and no’s of typical Damnation+ gameplay
Maelstroms almost always pay more than the highest damnation and I think the lowest level they can be now is Malice/3
If you're not that fussed about min maxing your leveling and just wanna play I highly recommend just hitting quickplay it's like +20% xp and 10% everything else
You could also learn to fight the twins for a lot of xp...
yeah none of mine play the game so that would be hard
the maelstrom in the middle of the board
theyre not easy, but once youre lvl 15 you can start taking them on and they give tons and tons of xp
this is a normal malice missions xp
this is a damnation missions xp
this is the current damnation maelstroms xp
Thank you
you definitely have a higher chance to get a t4 on orange consecration
i have so many weapons with a 3 and then 4 level blessing
no, it's just rng
and i have plenty of 4 then 3s (today especially trying to get puncture 4)
maybe my luck is just that consistent but idk
Find 3 good players and have them carry you through J-I-II-IV or I-II-V-E-G
or just a speed runner lol
yes hi cole
why did u make the smiley face so big
like that
i don’t understand you u freak
300% happy
what do those symbols mean?
is that mission name acronyms?
oh nvm it's maelstrom missions
How do people remember this stuff
Surely they must be looking them up, right? 
you gotta remember the spicy ones
i like CIVI and 3 veggies
Thank you, is there an lfg channel on here?
what are god tier perks and blessing for this right quick ?
unfortunately this is kinda bricked, you can make it work but you won’t have good perks
blessings ur gonna want high voltage and skullcrusher
perks i think u want flak and
idk what else
bricked asf sadly. you want lightning reflexes (the block blessing) and skullcrusher or high voltage
If zealot falter is pretty good
opposite really, zealot is the worst class to pick falter on.
zealot can get impact from the talent tree for skullcrusher (punishment, hammer of faith, grievous wounds), so falter isn't needed. meanwhile you could go falter+skullcrusher on vet and psyker, you'll max out your skullcrusher value but you still give up a blessing slot
with the existence of high voltage and lightning reflexes, there is little reason to ever run falter
I think I just unlocked/claimed the "ministorum missionary" title from the penances, but I appear to have received "ministorum seeker" instead. Is this a known glitch or is the reward mislabled?
sounds like a mislabel
is good?
Sub 70% Penetration means it's not good.
thank you sorry for late reply been watching satuff all night
tis a mislabel in game
can pox gas spawn on the regular board?
yo does Ogryn's Towering Presence perk work both ways with coherency? like does it allow me to reach other's coherency 50% farther or is only my coherency farther?
its your aura that touches others so its kinda both ways
Pretty sure they were discussing that not too long ago in ogryn chat
I am trying to understand the itemization system. Have they mentioned anything on turning in unwanted weapons to Hadron for a benefit or are they scraping the donation all together?
was there an update or something that screwed up the FPS? I used to have 100+ with DLSS on and Frame Generation, now it's like at 75 max
Why are my talents getting reset in my loadouts? I was just playing my zealot earlier today, and then when I hopped back on, I realized I was playing with 30 unspent talent points. I hadn't modified that loadout at all since my earlier game.
You have to close your inventory after doing your tree
I have a similar issue
If you switch to the weapons or cosmetics tab it resets you
Oh
Earning blessings and losing a weapon in the process to Hadron is being replaced by the Mastery points system.
I've seen people asking about bricked or not, and I wanted to show my current setup, but can't share the screenshot, is there a role limit or such?
Yeah, the red role is eventually granted and then you can post images directly
I think you can post them on Imgur and then link here tho
Oof not sure it's worth the effort...
just keep chatting you can get the role eventually
Yeah eventually (hope that doesn't mean 6 months down the line...)
it takes like
a 20 minute convo at most in one of the class channels
is there some mod or other way to get alt-keybinds for actions? so i can bind 2 keys to the same action, while still having a separate individual key.
trying to save my fingers when playing long sessions
https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/337/
This may be what you’re looking for
awesome, that looks perfect! will try it out
Coherency is like a tether system
If u can reach a teammate, it counts both of u as in coherency with each other
Are the last 3 special events. (powerful enemies in the dark) relating to the special missions only?
Yes, sort of. "Terror in the dark" mission modifiers on the non-auric mission board is where the "powerful enemy in the dark" can be encountered.
oh gotcha. ty!
As far as I can tell there should always be at least 1 mission with said modifier, for each difficulty level from Malice to Damnation
so i could run it on a low dif just to rack up the numbers quicker?
Yep.
lovely
oh
but
usually
those dudes
smoke bomb out
do i actually have to kill them before that?
Nah them leaving count
excellent
need two players to help with Quick Work penance. Thanks!
are auric damnations practically identical to normal damnations with the right modifiers?
auric has an innate +50% tension modifier if i remember right, which basically means that hordes are bigger, specials spawn more, higher boss chance, all that kind of stuff
so to answer ur question, no
kk thx
can anyone help me on where the power cell for comms plex 154/2f is supposed to go
the med station it was near
thank you i mustve over looked it. carried it all the way to exvil bc i couldnt find it
Canon event for all Darktide players, carrying power cell to the extraction
looking for 1 more player to do the Quick Work penance
auric missions also make the director unable to feel pity for the players. for a hypothetical. imagine the AI director could affect the intensity of a match up or down depending on how well the team is doing, favoring teams that are doing poorly. In a range of -50<->0<->50
in auric
the director will never go below "standard" for the players and is more likely to slip into "fuck these players in particular"
LMFAO
i need a group for malleus monstronum its the last thing i have befor im 100%
so does that mean if the team is doing well you get even more shit thrown at you?
that's always the case in darktide cause it takes after l4d's AI director. normal modes it tries to find a sweet spot where players feel challenged but not unfairly, in auric it is meant to be unfiar
suddenly it starts to make sense that auric with good teammates is somehow harder than auric with less experienced and less killy teammates
or when two people die we get hit with a boss and an ambush at the same time
auric with mid teammates, auric director has no pity
a bad team in auric is going to get wiped and a truly good team at this point can just, kinda still steamroll auric.
I played a game today where all 4 players where smite psykers
Beast of nurgle spawns and we did no damage and all died
The pimple vores me
They can only eat you if you've been barfed on
directly, or does contact with the snail trail count?
Directly
There are actually unique debuff icons for both
The yellow one with a 1/2/3 count (times you've been hit) is the vomit one and is a movement speed debuff (if you're at x3 count your days cuz he's faster than you now)
The purple one is the trail one with a small speed debuff and corruption over time but it's only when you're standing in it
Check visual for puke
Assuming its not disabled by mods
Are there any general tips or guides on the crafting/item system?
Current version or next update? 
If you want really cheap and more reliable crafting, wait for next crafting update
If you dont want to wait, but a decent base stat weapon in armoury or melk
Upgrade from grey to blue and check in here
When is next update?
September-october ish
I'm coming back into the game
Ok
Pick your darts and throw it on the calendar
After 21/09
check out gameslantern builds. Usually I just pick whatever has some upvotes, a build I'd like to try, or such https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds
Probably one of the best resources out there
gameslantern builds are always hit or miss
for everything decent on there theres 5 more that makes you wonder if the person has ever played above uprising
Fextralife at home
A lot of those builds are bad and sometimes actual jokes. Like the uploader was making a funny.
I do recommend going to class specific boards and asking about builds.
well i usually build around weapons I like
and its good start depends if of u gonna use quick attack and you need extra speed and crit
the last side last skill branch is always good the other 2 are more specialized.
For the special ability - shield is best for you and team, venting shriek - only if i have more agressive build to drop peril which is great if you use also warp rider, scier is very deadly for exeple with shards but hard to contol.
Scriers is best used with guns or a voidstrike staff with the transfer peril blessing, if you have shards, I recommend to use them when scriers isn’t active
does infernus 4 really make that much difference in damage compared to infernus 3 on the recon lasgun with dumdum?
Yes as the blessing level also affects max stacks
scier is also good when you dont have enemies and quicly hold with "reload" and just let go when they come U can do shards if you are quick enough with droping peril and is its ryu eally good. If use shards from 0% peril you e able to throw some and drop peril on highest lvl
new awesome looking update around the corner, and chances are they still havent fixed the Xbox servers. ridiculous that the Xbox version has been nearly unplayable for nearly a year now
Xbox uses the same servers
It’s likely a hardware specific issue, and the engine communicating with the server that is fucked
maybe not the servers specifically then, but the Xbox version has been scuffed nonetheless
Hope it does get fixed tho
Why does everyone want a useless end of game stats report. It obvious what class will be on top of each stat.
see how well some equipment does compared to other stuff you're using
was surprised tac axe wasnt total trash when i decided to try it on vet
But you can test it out in the psy
It's different in the meat grinder vs the chaos of a mission with other players too.
Some things need the AI active as well.
I got the same problem did you manage to fix yours?
to feel good about themselves
some of the people asking for it may have good intentions, like measuring their performance, but it doesnt take a genius to know it would be used toxicly far more than anything else, and encourage players to play for their stats more than with their team
"he knifed across the map very toxicly"
an end of game stat screen wouldnt even be very helpful in all truth. the missions alone can vary so drastically from game to game that your stats wouldnt really tell you much, let aline how your teammates change from game to game and how their performance and builds influence yours
A well formatted stat screen can measurably improve your gameplay and understanding of the effectiveness of certain builds. Just to name a few ways; you can check how often your talents activate, what your average crit chance and weakspot was, and if you see someone over or under performing you can check their build to improve your own accordingly
except a leaderboard cant really account for what the director does, or for what your build is good at. while a well infirmed and well intentioned player may be able to parse out these sometimes large differences to benefit their build, the vast manority of players are either not informed enough, not well intentioned, or simply dont care enough, to parse out the reality of the scoreboard they see to make good decisions from
so we have to ask ourselves: is it for the overall benefit of the game experience to encourage elitist and judgemental players to be even more of that, and to encourage hyper optimization of builds with a system that cant communicate if you've actually achieved that or not, all so just a few good people can be somewhat better informed? the kinds of players this would benefit can already measure the power of their builds through moment to moment gameplay, no scoreboard required, even if it could provide reliably actionable data
there should be a personal scoreboard
it doesn't have to show you the other players stats. henceforth making it less elitist
i think a scoreboard that only shows you your own stats as a means to gauge how well youre doing makes no sense
because there are 3 other players whos actions directly have an impact on your own stats
if the 3 other people are just simply slaying the fuck out way harder than you are, you may see your own stats and go "wow this build is bad" when in reality you were just failing to compete with team of omega-gamers, after all, you cant deal damage to things and kill them when they are already dead
its the entire picture that allows you to gauge the performance of your gameplay and build, not just exclusively your own output
scoreboard mod is pawesome
still dont know if scoreboard or powerdi is more accurate
exactly. a monster of a build that's slow to get to the action or to gather momentum will suffer statistically when paired with builds with worse damage, but higher speeds, as long as the action doesnt get so heavy that they cant keep up, which that possibility varies from game to game because director just goes apeshit sometimes
but you can feel this problem just in gameplay. you can feel that "hey, I cant really keep up with the speed my team is clearing stuff at, but when things are thick enough for me to get in the action I wreck." a scoreboard cant communicate that
much like how a scoreboard in a hero shooter cant communicate that the support has low healing output because they're getting flanked constantly and not receiving help from their teammates
only look at revive stat for scoreboard
ehhh, i’d disagree there, almost every build except specific speed running builds can keep up with action, and rarely does a build really need to “ramp up” in combat
the only example i can thing of something ramping up in combat would be slaughterer
but even then that builds fast enough it’s not an issue
that was a somewhat weird example, but every build can be overshadowed by others, especially ones with any level of reliance on teammates. a smite or trauma or dome build on psyker for example is inherently somewhat team oriented, and you're going to lose out on damage and kill count numbers as a result, and if situations dont get hectic enough to warrant smite or dome often you may find yourself with low smite or dome numbers because the abilities are inherently oriented towards "oh shit" situations
so even if a scoreboard can accurately portray solo influence, that means that it will encourage players to NOT use team oriented skills
and to run off alone for stats
we see this happen in pretty much every game with a scoreboard, almost every game with a scoreboard has created more toxicity as a result
and almost never actually caused players to try and improve
the only time i see toxicity with any level of consistency is malice and heresy
i think it’s just bad players are toxic, and use a scoreboard to justify it
that comment wasnt durected towards specifically Darktide, which doesnt have a scorebiard btw
yeah i know
a scoreboard elevates and encourages toxicity though nonetheless, in almost every form one can take
and they rarely contribute any meaningful data to do something with anyways
this is exactly what i mean by "the bigger picture"
even the scoreboard alone doesnt tell the full story
only game that I feel like got scores reasonably well is Exoprimal, a game few have played. it didnt give you stats, you just got old school score based on how much you did, and it isnt perfect but it's about the closest I've seen to a semi-accurate depiction of a players contribution to the match
and it doesnt tell you what was contributed either, so you dont get to flame players on specifics either
if someonehas terrible damage overall but fucking nails it on the boss damage, checking what they have would be a good idea
and oh would you look at that, they were running a boss nuking build with the thunderhammer, so the build excelled at its purpose
in this example it would also be good to keep in mind that there is a player with that build on your team so you dont beat yourself up for not having great boss damage, cuz someone else had a build to deliberately fuck them up the instant theyre on screen
which also: sometimes the director doesnt even give you a boss, and other times it throws 4 at you before an assassination 
the numbers and loadouts tell a story of how the game went, and its up to you to look through those numbers in relation to each other and what the team was running as a collective to put that story together to judge your own preformance
which putting that responsibility in the hands of the player is precisely the issue. it's a decent addition for the right players, but for most it's a net negative
bad players r always gonna be bad, scoreboard doesn’t particularly affect that
i don’t think a scoreboard is really a bad thing to have
they’re always going to find something to blame someone for
but it also allows you to instantly shut down someone whos trying to flame you
the psyker starts talking shit about your damage compared to his
you can easily point out that his damage is inflated because of his purgatus staff burning up everything in hordes, and that you have been shutting down all of the specialists that would otherwise interrupt the psyker from doing his thing, and refer to the specialists/disabler stats on the board, showing that the stats make sense with the events of the game
yes but a scoreboard encourages and amplifies that. no scoreboard forces a player to go out of their way
exactly this
you're overestimating the intelligence of a toxic player
massively
scoreboard or not, assholes will still yell at you for whatever reason they deem appropriate
even if they have irrelevent numbers to back it up or not
of course but a scoreboard gives them ammo
without a scoreboard they have to make their own
ammo that they can just make up anyway
thats not going to do anything to stop the behavior youre talking about
and if you provide that ammo, people who otherwise wouldnt make it are encouraged to use it cause it's right there anyway
i think we should all kiss and be friends
I'm not saying not having a scoreboard eliminates toxicity, heavens no that's impossible. but we can avoid encouraging and arming that behavior
we should also remove text and voice chat
pings too
cuz they can be used in a toxic way
hell remove matchmaking
wheres that one kirby gif
idk
ur moms house
LMFAO
not the worst idea tbh. one of the best communities I know is centered around a game that on paper should be almost as toxic as League, but it replaced text and voice chat with a much more positive system
yeah now you can just pay for toxic pings
doesnt work for every game, but text and voice chat arent essential features. not saying Darktide should replace them, but might be worth considering for an hour or two
30 plasteel to ping an enemy
100 plasteel per text chat
lol
500 per second of voice
ogryns in shambles
it cost me 3 days of rashuns to say this sah

LMAO

my distain for ogryn larpers leaving my body when i get a really good one:
REAL LMFo
I had someone like, hit on me while I was clutching calling me a sister of death on zealot 😭
shit was weird
cole had a reddit post made about him
also in that first one i dont think i will ever pull off anything close to as hard as that revolver spin and hipfire at the start
in my life
i peaked at that moment
niche micro internet celeb
im famous
cole is our niche micro celeb
the 100 updoot reddit post solidified it
honestly. trappers and dogs are the worst when clutching, they're so ass
worst in general often times but, you know 
i hate trappers with every fiber of my being
okay tbf
that was kinda on you
oh
wait
no
nvm
the shotgunner pushed me back into it 
i’m fine with every enemy in the game except tox bombers
other than that
i’m fine with them all
I'm fine with almost every enemy. if it has a gun though I probably hate it. gunners are so untelegraphed and unreliable to defend against
it's basically just play cover or die. in a high risk, ultra difficult horde shooter. those dont mix.
gunners i only hate when like
3 of them spawn behind me
and just shred my toughness on psyker
sliding
sprinting
doesnt work half the time
thats the first time ive heard someone say that for this
like sure you get nicked every now and again
but your nowhere near swiss cheese any time you do it
sliding is the only somewhat reliable one but you literally cant be sliding at all times and gunners can stun you and once you're stunned you cant do any of those things so you kinda just die until they miss
they cannot stun you if you have toughness
I'm pretty confident they can, but first I'm hearing of that so maybe. regardless they're inconsistent to avoid. not every situation while getting shot at allows you to just slide forever either, so you need to have altenerate options, and dodges/sprints dont cut it, and sometimes they just flat out ignore suppression, or suppress you so hard you cant suppress them back. and sometimes they're in too many directions to even take cover. they're just bs. not completely so, but by comparison, gunners are bottom of the barrel when it comes to fairness in Darktide, and the only competition is trappers
and dont get me started on those doors where you exit an area changing door and there's just hundreds of gunners and little to no cover 
you can still be knocked back by gunners when you have toughness, the most noticable being reapers, but a quick dodge to the side will get you outta that instantly
something of note is that thy wrath be swift on zealot completely removes all stuns and knockbacks that arent caused by stamina breaks or something that flings you
something also important is enemies themselves are cover, enemy shot cannot go through others, plus gunners cant really do anything but piss and moan if you reach them, so you can literally make closing the distance via sliding at the right angle the method of dealing with them
a quick dodge does not always work, it's unreliable. thy wrath be swift is Zealot exclusive, and also out of the way for most builds. enemies can be cover, but often you dont want your back to a horde so you're always exposed from somewhere that a gunner is not unlikely to take advantage of. and gunners can very, very much keep shooting you or even start shooting you at kissing range, let alone how far out they can hold you behind cover, which in some areas makes approach impossible when they arent reloading, and if there's enough gunners they'll never be reloading
oh yeah also
dont rely on suppression
its just so inconsistent
well with so few other options, I'll take something that is more reliable than a coin flip
sliding is still best, but not always applicable
the quick dodge is also purely to get you out of basically the repeated knockback combo so you arent basically stuck in place by it
in terms of actually dodging the attacks, you want to be sliding for all ranged fire
suppression, as long as you can actually hit near them or them directly, is next mkst reliable, but also not always an option
especially depending on build
i cant honestly remember the last time ive ever needed to use suppression
i honestly forget it exists cuz i never need it
again gunners arent completely unfair, but compared to the rest of the game which is so extremely fair under almost every circumstance it's almost a fault, gunners stand out like a placeholder texture
I havent actively used it really either, but recently I've been turning to it and experimenting with it to see if it can actually combat gunners cause I'm so sick of them bs'ing me
and it's reliable. the question is if you have the opportunity to shoot back or not. which is more frequently a no than just sliding in my experience
and costs ammo, so for Zealot and Ogryn it's pretty costly, but they also have charges
zealot also has second wind in their tree which can essentially completely nullify any damage recieved when sliding around bullets
HAH
How is dodging unreliable?
gunners are more resistant to suppression, shooters might get spooked by it but gunners usually won’t without a lot of fire, and at that point you might as well just shoot them
only against gunners. the iframes dont always prevent you from getting hit by gunners since they dont last the whole movement. still a much better chance than doing nothing, but it's a but if a coin flip. at least shooters and shotgunners shoot in bursts though instead of constantly. it's mostly the elite gunners that have these problems
If gunners are this much of a problem run some gunner resist
they seem suppressable enough in the meat grinder, but they probably get resistance when shooting
I do, most of my builds have one gunner resist at least and at least something in the skill tree to combat gunners mkre specifically, plus more toughness than health bonuses most times
Run more I guess, if the usual tactics for dealing with them (slide spamming, using side dodges to close) aren’t working than I guess get some better sniping weapons
I dont go too crazy with it, but I do try to have additional defenses against them than other enemies since everything else is more dealable with skill alone
I handle them just fine, I'm just also aware that they're the most unfair enemies in the game
Not really in my experience
yeah
They aren’t really terribly unfair, they just apply pressure against staying in the open and not dealing with them if there is little around to stab
while shooting they have suppression resist
they're still very fair compared to most game's enemies, but compared to Darktide enemies they're very notably less fair, and require mechanics that are often not actually necessary anywhere in the game, like sliding
unless u stagger them or are using a particularly high suppression weapon (brautos i think) it’s not worth it
and again, you may as well just shoot them and stagger them
sliding is good beyond gunners, but it's only necessary against them
Sliding is the best way of dealing with range in general, ranged enemies make it a necessary mechanic
Sliding also find use in extending dodges for low dodge distance weapons (ogryn guns or other slow ranged weapons like staves) and keeping momentum while charging heavies
ye but that's my point. gunners are designed in such a way that the best tools against them are quite limited, vs most enemies where you can utilize just about any defensive tool against them
and mostly just because the other tools simply arent reliable against gunners. like sprinting, half the time they just shoot you anyways and cancel your sprint
even if you're going exactly perpendicular to their firing angle, which isnt terribly realistic once there's more than two enemies with a gun anyways
if they just didnt have stun or pushback at any point there wouldnt be much issue, but they do
+1 to sliding, very easy to avoid getting hit with it
but fair, it is also rare to not get hit even once from a full auto gunner spray in a bad spot
but toughness is there to soak that damage up
Have both 
i do
i just don’t know which to trust
Do you have oven proof for the normal one
Since whe i have ovenproof with power di both are really close if not the same on the numbers
Well powerdi is made by ovenproof so I would hope they have similar outputs
Only time its not the same is when i crash/desync
hey does anyone know how to fix a problem of not being able to join the lobby as one class and having no issues with other?
good evening everyone, anyone who would help me to get the malleus monstrum penance please?
This icon indicates that they are in coherency with you
that showed up is in the end of the match
This is the icon to indicate that they're in your group
It's meant to be the symbol for a strike team
As for them being the only ones having it idk
Anyone know what this does? It's on a foe-rend mkII ripper gun
Special attack to cause brittleness on the target iirc
Been awhile since I played, but I'm getting some heavy intermittent frame stutter - is there a setting I should specifically disable to mitigate this?
some updates re-enable rtx so that's usually the prime suspect
I see. Well I'll try to see if slapping everything on low does anything
stupid malleus monstrum private game necessity -.-
Can someone explain the itemization update does it mean we'll get to pick and choose what perks/blessings we want as long as we level up the branch of weapon?
On damnation difficulty??
Also what's the build
I doubt I'll be able to hit it on the head easily as much as those uglyass freakazoids flop around so much but ill give it a shot
Gotta aim for the mouth
Heyo Everyone, Earlier this month, we released an Introduction to Itemization dev blog. After sharing the first looks of Itemization, we got a lot of messages from players. We collected over 13 pages of feedback, questions and concerns. As promised, we’re following up on them. While we cannot answer all of those questions yet, as some things ar...
Lmaoo the comment
Oh yeah didn't even notice I linked a specific comment, just copy pasted the link 
These gbog weirdos either didn’t get bullied enough or they got bullied too much in school
I have no idea how you type such dramatic shit out unironically
Does Situational Awareness penance count team's barrel kills or just your own?
just yours
and only the yellow explosive barrels, fire ones do not count
well the fire ones count if you kill an enemy with the 1dmg explosion 
Welp. Thanks for the reply
he sounds like he’s trying to be a like
revolutionary writer
“you are a coward wearing the facade of a revolutionary”
Anyone know the numbers on the various gas effects in game? Seems like they are each different (Pox gas, dreg bomber, karnak disappearing fart cloud) the pox gas and environmental tox gas in orthus offensive might be the same effects.
you cant regen toughness on orthus gas
i think pox nade and gas modifier have same mechanic
karnak mine delete toughness instantly
is the game stutter badly today for anyone else? yesterday I was playing fine but today it was almost unplayable every 10-15 seconds
All class base stats in one place, I whipped this up for easy reference, credit to games lantern
Doesnt vet have extra crit chance base as well or was that removed with an update
unsure, i suppose this could be out of date but i'd like to think not
hp/toughness values check out
Used to pre13
Vets also used to get twice as much toughness from melee kills
pox gas tends to gradually to 10% dmg while tox gas seems like it chunks 50% toughness each tick. I should test these
In Auric Damnation, I always feel like I have more than enough horde clear, but during crusher/bulwark rush I run out of options as psyker so, Deimos for Crushers or....Assail maybe?
Dueling swords special is good for stunning elites
brainburst 
Ayo whats the name of that mod? I NEED to see my damage numbers on zel and vet.
its called psykanium, with creature spawner mod i spawn chaos spawn
you can stagger up to 3 crushers winding up overheads with just ds special headshots
also throws bulwarks off balance in 1 hit if you manage to sneak it through the shield when he swipes his mace
bet ty
🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿
on damnation I can 1tap everything aside from the twins in the game, thanks again for telling me the mod name
turns out he has 40k hp not counting the shield
one of the captains that is
the things that live is a captain, plauge ogryn or crusher on damnation. Mind you its without any other bonus from any other team m8 or skills. Just the stealth and marty.
Captain and twin have carapace head , flak body
Does not matter. Captions only die to back if head shot. Twin does not matter either way, but back headshot still does more
Hi guys. Do I have to roll guns at lvl 30 or it doesn't matter?
Level 30 is when you have the best “rng” so yea, early on it’s best to just experiment with new weapons as you find them
k, thanks
Is there a way to see all my unlocked blessings?
Through a mod, yes:
Alright ty
Is sprint efficiency or stamina regen better?
regen
Can someone tell me how dogshit my current build is
Extremely
There is something wrong in every image
The shovel is 0/4
the lasgun is 1/4
You probably shouldn't be running a wound
Tox flamer and bomber DR is terrible, corruption resistance does very little
and most of the weapon spec subtree is useless, and doesn't work well with your weapon at all
most its giving you is ROF and loading a few shots
Exploit weakness is very weak compared to +25 toughness
Wow if I knew what that meant I'd be informed
It has 0 out of the 4 things you want
Ah
Can I show my other guns and weapons so you can tell me which to use with an ideal build?
Sure
Yeah I've just been using the lasgun and shovel because I have no fucking clue what I'm doing
The boltgun and XIIIg chainsword are my highest rated
Roll elites or maniac over specialists on the chainsword
Depends
None of this besides bistol is really conducive to weapon specialist
Bolter is far to slow on the draw to get benefit
Yeah it's why I've been using the shovel and lasgun. Almost always get a kill praise voiceline when I swap from las to shovel vs an infested horde
Not exactly the best measurement of success
I would recommend running that chainsword with the bolt pistol
Correct it's why I am only just now asking for help with my build
So my talents are OK?
Nope
Give me a second
This retains all the main components of the build
Well except for fire team but are you really going to miss that 5%
lmfao
Yay actually good talents
Lay into stuff with that chainsword and swap to bistol for popping specialists or elites before going back to it
It can handle carapace quite well in my experience so use it in combination with rev'd attacks to deal with crushers and maulers
Frags to make windows to do things or as an emergency CC button
Just tested it should be able to get a 4 shot on crushers
3 crits and anything to finish
What difficulty did you try
I'm used to malice so that might be why I was doing OK with my sellotape and pva glue build
Damnation
God damn OK amazing
So heresy should be manageable on controller with this amazing
Ty so much
I love how all this my actual most optimised build was a fucking commisar.
Easy 3 shot on crusher with 2 crits
Gonna try it myself with my stats rn
you can even hit 4 shot with only 1 crit
This hits 1 shot on everything except ogryns and ragers without crit with my stuff
1 shots ragers with crit
Yeah I'm getting 4 shots to the head max to kill
This is wikd
I'm gonna try a heresy game with this let's see wtf happens
Ty again
what are the best perks/blessings for the Godwyn bolter pistol ?
I'm on Thunder hammer zealot , just something to close gaps with effectivly
An alternate thing to try is pathing through close and kill and take agile engagement with most of the other talents being the same, maybe taking kraks to path there better
It's a more melee focused build but it's awesome
I'm just glad my current gameplay is no longer "run at the enemy with a shovel"
what perks should i put on chainswords?
blessings for zealot you want puncture+surgical or lethal proximity+ puncture
Lethal prox doesn’t matter that much for zealot since it doesn’t buff either grenades
i think it's taken to remove the arming distance the bistol normally has
since zealot is more likely to be using it in CQC
that's a rly specific use ngl
might as well run&gun then
remove sprint to fire delay
not sure if puncture changes any breakpoints for zealot
anyone have any advice on getting the standup and fight penance i seem to only be making very little progress over several missions
have tactical awareness (6s cdr on special kill), go into high shock, let urself get hit, ult
repeat
pox gas is also good
i got mine just using dreg bombers
Out of curiosity, when trying to do damnation missions, should your gear be at the level for auric or no?
Define “Auric level gear”. Also, probably not.
Everything needing to be transcendent and tuned
Nope. You don't need that for Auric, either, but it can help.
Does anyone want to help me do the malleus monstronum penance?
for newer players, you absolutely need strong weapons to keep up with enemy health numbers and spawns, however as you get better its less important
good players could run a damnation auric with grey weapons without too much difficulty
weapons where the ideal blessings are just "more damage" you can live without cuz you can just play well and not have to worry about the thing in front of you taking 1 extra swing to kill
though certain but very few examples of blessings either make or break a weapon, such as brutal momentum on combat axes, or blessings that directly synergize with your talents, like a crit chance blessing on a class build thats leaning into crits
but those are far and few between, majority of stuff ends up being "good enough"
when breaking a heretical idol does it count for the whole squad for the pence or just the player who broke it
whole
thank
Guys can you load into an account on a fresh steam install?/diff computer
Not sure what you mean. If you just got steam you will need to buy and install the game. If you own the game and you got a new PC, just install and play the game?
Yeah I’m kind of quoting my friend since he lost discord and his pc so he’s trying to download it on his uncles’. The problem has been solved now tho so yeah but thanks anyways!!!
Is the only differences between the tactical axes the move sets?
Basically yes
The consensus is that the Mk2 is the one you should use
But that doesn't mean the others are bad
what does this do?
Target receives 1-4 Stacks of 5% Brittleness on direct projectile hit. Lasts 5s
thank you
does macroing m1 reload on staff to shoot m1 fasters bannable or no?
No, it shouldn’t be bannable.
aite ty
What's going on with this sword?
That's a perfect base for the meme blazing spirit sword. 
You need enemies to survive crits in order to get soulblaze going.
guys which mods help me to find idol?
Collectible Finder, I think?

any meta build for zelon and ogryn?
Check pin on ogryn channel
Anything works honestly
i don’t play ogryn, but zealot has a few different builds that can be really strong, it just depends on what you want to run, but the most “meta” would probably be an knife build with blazing piety and
i have huge skill issue and i still cant find the totems sometimes 
because some of them are in some grate under the floor
Me neither. Gotta catch’em all 
Having two people with the mod in lobby, over comms, helps, especially if you explore different parts of otherwise open/two+ pathed areas, like in Chasm Logistratum post mid-event
Need to complete 2 aurics if anyone’s down
Not malestorms, just aurics in general
i could be missing something but toughness seems pointless if you still take hp damage when ever you get hit. why not just stack hp??
Because you can regen toughness more easily
Toughness protects against range fire completely (besides snipers if the sniper deals enough damage to break it), it is full melee protection at 100% (besides breakers like mauler and crusher overheads) and it constantly regens easily
Basically every class gets a ton of toughness regen for doing their class properly
i did not know about the range protection thank you
How it works for melee is that it scales for what % of toughness you have
If you have 50% toughness, 50% of the hit is blocked and the other 50% is dealt to HP
so having more hp but lower toughness would make it faster to regen but if you get hit you would take more hp damage and vice versa if i understand right 🤔
also not true, the vast majority of toughness generation is % based, from coherency to talents that generate toughness.
as well as the bleedthrough is also % based
thats my fault i meant faster as in regen with melee kills lower cap=faster less kills to get to 100%
melee kill regen is also % based i’m pretty sure
and even if it isn’t, it wouldn’t really matter
as melee kills aren’t your primary, or even secondary source of toughness
all main sources are based on percentages
so it would not matter how big your pools is🤔 🤔🤔. so what would be optimal then more hp or toughness or just raising both for more overall survivalability
there is a lot more depth to this mechanic than i originally thought
No, all toughness gain (non-coherency source) are scaled as a % of your total toughness
Having lower total toughness doesn’t meaningfully make u get back to full toughness faster
Thank you
Coherency toughness is a flat value that scales based on the amount of coherency u have, it’s usually not the most relevant in terms of keeping ur toughness up unless u invest heavily into it
Lots of factors to play around with I appreciate the insight
Tho my recommendation in every circumstance is to never invest or rely on coherency toughness, it is just not good when it comes down to it
Not only is it much less potent compared to most toughness gen talents, it's disabled when an enemy is in one of your slots, which essentially means when an enemy is close enough to swing at you
That basically means that it's disabled in all melee combat, which is when you want toughness the most
What character are you playing
i dont play one in particular just got done getting each class to 30 but i noticed it more and made the subsequent post while playing zealot
i was unaware at the time that range attacks do not effect hp while you still have toughness and that being at 100% in melee made you take no hp damage from normal attack (ie. not sniper,rage and the like)
yea was gonna explain your toughness regen differ per character and that will affect your playstyle a bit
on early game just use 1 wound curio if you get downed,
2 toughness and 1 health is good combination
toughness curio can reach to 16-17 %
health is 21% hp max
hey guys im new and would love ot play with some vets to leanr the ropes! anyone on?
go to psykanium and play the normal and advanced training 
Hello, after having some interest in the game for quite a while, I've finally started playing now for a few days and got a class to Lv30. I've heard that there's a new gear update coming later this month, so I'm not sure what I should be aiming for in long-term gear goals considering that, or what I should be doing now in the time gap until then.
There are a bunch of guides on the subject, but I'm concerned about what's outdated/will soon be outdated.
which guide
gather blessings from weapons, those will directly affect how much of a head start you get in the new itemization update
Just generally speaking, between video and text.
the weapon guide will become outdated if dev doing some huge nerf / rework on the weapon
just extract any blessing that you can find
i havent even gotten far enough to see blessings do those drop only from legendary weapons?
weapon have 5 rarity
blessings are the named bonuses weapons have, each weapon has one at blue rank and gets another at orange
then you acquire them by sacrificing the weapon and choosing one of them to be used on other copies of the weapon
white (no perk/blessing) -> green (1 perk/ no blessing) -> blue (1 perk/ 1 blessing) -> purple (2 perk/ 1 blessing) -> orange (2 perk/ 2 blessing)
Should I be buying up weapons from the shop that have desired Blessings?
yesnt, buy the weapon you want to use
and dont waste on the weapon that you never use
the basic weapons store never has higher than tier 2 blessings, so upgrading is a surer way of getting better blessings
Melk's store has weapons with higher tier blessings but the credits aren't as easy to gather
Really? I'm looking at a weapon with a Tier 3 Riposte right now.
hm, I might be misremembering but I thought the Brunt store only had tier 1 and 2 blessings
It's a blue Catachan Mk VI Combat Blade.
not really, brunt can spawn tier 4 but its really rare
if from brunts buy i thought you want to buy for melk
also some blessings don't have a variant for each tier, some only have one tier and others might have two iirc
Oh, I've been trying to paste a screenshot here of it, do I need permissions to do that here?
need red role
Ah.
you will get it , just keep chatting
ye and you get it by talking enough
buy all the weapon that have magnifier icon (that means you dont have the blessing extracted) and extract it all 
oh yeah, nice
I guess we all learned something new then.
think that's just very rare so I've never noticed a higher than tier 2 blessing there
What do I do with white and green weapons?
upgrade
there's 2 option
if it has good base stats to a weapon you might use or just for random blessings to acquire
if you have a lot of plasteel upgrade to blue to collect the blessing
if the base stat are high and got correct dump stat, keep it till rework
for use? yeah. But iirc the new update will also benefit from having those unlocked
as in all the blessings unlocked will be adjusted to the mastery rank on that weapon
I see.
as you level up, don’t spend any of your resources on upgrading
just use the highest power weapons you have
once you hit 30, then you can start trying to go for specific builds
because otherwise, your weapons will be low power, usually with weak blessings
and resources are rare enough that it’s not worth it
Anyone know which braced autogun is "best" atm?
Trying to make a build for it cause i love daka
MK VIII was my favourite when I ran those more
the damage and stagger was great
could stun lock ragers easily
you'd want high Stopping Power on it though
Teach me the ways of the gun 
As a vet get the enhanced fire active ability (can't recall the name) and the upgrade which highlights all ranged enemies and refreshes it every time you kill one of them, then enjoy your endless lead shower of death
Didn't use braced auto on zealot really
agripina
agripinna is best
they’re all workable but the agri is best due to its cleave and stagger
I think the question would go here, I was wondering is the game cross-platform? Cuz I play on PC with Xbox Game Pass and I have a friend who I wanna play with but he's on regular Xbox
Yes
you can invite other with FS code, click find player
Does anyone still do penance runs?
i have "new penance unlocked" notification after every match despite not having actual new penances, is that a known issue?
if you are above 4600, its referring to a new reward to claim, but there is nothing on the track beyond 4500
if thats not the case than idk, but thats what ive dealt with for quite a long time now, spaghetti code
ah i see, ty
need players for some no incapacitation runs. its impossible with randos unless you play difficulty 2 which is boring
What's this Error Code 3013 about? What do I do to rectify it?
who the hell is responsible for some of these veteran guides on game lantern
there’s the tried and true squad leader build as always
then below that shit hits the FAN
I got veterans out here taking NOTHING to help the team and then ending their tree with a toe into weapon specialist
Random?
As usual
just a server bug
keep trying
itll resolve itself
restarting ur game can help
only like 1% of gameslantern builds are decent to good
i can tell when i play with the general public
granted im recent back into the game but i have to crowd source this theory, is it clear as day to anyone else the director can suddenly lose its fucking mind and deploy a wave that is genuinely insane and close to nothing of the usual
like my maelstroms are getting screwed because theres just these single moments where even though we've damn near cleared 50% without even taking hp damage, we're instantly overwhelmed by upwards of 15 crushers, 20+ ragers ect.
even shooting down 4 fucking trappers in a row seconds apart running around a corner
so i guess question is -is the director broken again and is it even worth playing maelstrom atm or is this just regular jank-
follow up yes the director is bugged to shit
Anyone got tips on the bst way of going about this? I assume its finding the right moment ofc but are certain maps i could keep an eye on? Ik hi-intensity would help just havent found the correct moment yet
try the new map it got a lot of tight corridor
or get the ammo tube mission
auric maelstrom don't matter what location you'll be swarmed by thousands never mind 60 but bristly is right
when you're escaping to your ship and hordes of little guys are jumping over the fence round them all up and charge
its extra easy if theres a bridge leading to your ship that you can funnel them into
Ah yeaaa the cursed habdreyko 
Can I get some help tweaking this?
all i have for insight is infernus ICKY
the rest looks good but i dont play zealot, i do however use the las pistol a lot
personal opinion is i like to have hit & run so i can get a headshot and calmly mow down the ranged elites without being shot
What guns are similar to Zarona Mk 2a?
In reality, none
But Agripina shotgun comes close
Then you have the plasma gun
Then voidstrike staff
Metal fab. End event. or hab Dreyko, end event.
Smelter end event can be nice for it too
are they ever going to fix habs finale
what’s wrong with it
Plasma gun 
New to Darktide. Got it on release but only played a couple hours. Enjoying it more now, few questions.
First - Wtf is Coherency?
Second - after a mission, is there a way to see stats? My kills, special mob kills, revives, etc.?
Im a lvl 11 zealot, but i just feel like a fighter... do i do priesty religious shit at some point? Idk... I just feel currently like a warrior with a run dash...
- its linked to toughness /armor , you group up with each other (in coherency radius) to regen your toughness/armor
- there's mod for that
- yeaaa thats 40k zealot you bash heretic to spread emperor faith, but there's support buff (the religious shit) on middle talent tree
Coherency is a mechanic that makes you regenerate toughness out of melee based on how many friends within like 8m or something
You need a mod for scoreboard as they said
And zealot is just violence
So if i take the "Loner" trait in my talents, ill always regen toughness (wtf is toughness?) at all times, regardless if im around people?
not recommending loner expecially for newbie
not asking if it sucks, im trying to understand the mechanic
You will be counted as within coherency with 2 people always
But the regeneration only works if no melee enemies nearby are targeting you
toughness is armor the blue bar
when you kill something, you regen small toughness
so it takes hits for me? Thats what it seems.
when you out of combat and in coherency radius you regen armor
and when i kill stuff. So killing stuff = staying alive. Staying around helps regen it also.
yesnt, toughness can soak up multiple ranged attack but not multiple melee attack
Melee damage can bleed through toughness before its empty
but it takes the hit, it can exceed it sure, but it takes it initially
Melee can bleed through even if it doesn't zero your toughness
depends on what type of attack
thats not what im asking homie
im saying toughness is essentially regen hp or shield or whatever, regardless of bleed or if the attack excees the toughness bar
pretty much
ok, ty.
Backstab - is that genuinely like very specifically from behind, or is it pretty generous and anything remotely close to the back/side counts? Curious how hard it would be to go backstab build, or how frustrating it could be?
i think its around 45 degree from the centre back
you need to slide + click a lot
ok, thats more work then i want to do lol, ty
Is more wounds good? Thinking about going for a wound build, but that also seems to mean ill be able to heal up less if i understand that...
dont pick too much wound unless you are a martyrdom zealot and know what you are doing
more wound does not equal more health
ok so its build specific
yeah i noticed it wasnt more health, but broke it up more, which i thought was good at first, then i realized i just wasnt able to heal up as much.
is there any way to heal up past that "wound" breakpoint? Like lets say i have 4 chunks of health, im down one. I cant seem to normally heal up that last 25%. I have to get to a medicare station to get that back? is there any other way to heal that back?
no, use medicae
thats why its bad
ok, appreciate all the info Bristly
health stim also restore 1 chunk if you got downed
oh does it? cool
get downed first then use it better value
if you use before you got downed you only heal small amount ( use it if you are on the last wound)
The health stim is 1 full wound's worth of healing or 25% of your max, whichever is higher
Toughness is your damage reduction, not to be confused as a shield in a traditional sense.
Against melee, you will take damage to your health equal to the % of toughness you're missing. (at 85% toughness, 15% of that damage goes to your health. At 100%, eats a hit entirely.)
Against ranged, you will not take health damage until your toughness is fully broken.
There are some exceptions to this, like snipers, explosions, and mauler/crusher overheads.
good looking out, ty
Regarding the Stats mod, will that get me banned if i use it or is it ok to grab? If so, where can i grab it?
It's on Nexus, and also no you won't get banned
I've got a bunch of mods including the scoreboard mod and I'm doing fine
most mod is visual only and QoL
The only mods that can get you banned are things that affect other people
ok cool, ty. I wanna see what im doing well at and what i need to improve on. The end mission scoreboard helps with that.
