[bright relic]

Why does my weapon say n/a for the stats?

[supple helm]

What are the best perks for curios? Is damage resistance against snipers worth it?

[vocal nacelle]

Disable mods

[vocal nacelle]

Depends on what class

You want at least 1 sniper resist

Or dont take any if you are confident with your dodging

[raw oracle]

can we get this fixed? pretty pweese xD

[signal gate]

very rarely for both melk and hourly shop, best thing i've found but also rng is to do the melk 250 curio gacha

[signal gate]

big ass head

[cloud adder]

Since weapons with stances supposed to display the users weapon:
I end up always with the default Lasgun, any way to fix it, game files are verified

[quick remnant]

Have you changed the weapon mark?

[cloud adder]

The weapon mark?

Selecting the stance displays the current weapon, switching to a different stance then displays the default weapon.
Same on the end screen after the mission

[gusty whale]

that's just what they do, no?

like zealot stances with the chainsword

[bitter depot]

Does grimroire collect event only work on "infected moebian 21st" conditions or any mission with sub mission of collecting scriptures/grimroires

[lean scaffold]

Purchased the "Darktide - Imperial Edition Upgrade".
Got the cosmetics but not the Aquilas. Any ideas?

[cloud adder]

When selecting it, it displays the equipped weapon (would post pictures but have to write first more...), so I wonder if it was intended to display the users weapon (some stances)

[quick remnant]

Only when there is the Moebian21

[quick remnant]

Are you a returning person ? If yes ask a Warden for it

[quick remnant]

#🎒support-issues

[cloud adder]

No, Im new

[lean scaffold]

Yea, I submitted a support request. I was just curious if anyone else had seen it and had a quick solution.

No worries

[bitter depot]

Does ilvl of weapon matter? Ive already maxed it to 80 on stats i want but its only 470

[raven bridge]

Do i still need to look for weapons with good rolls to minmax a build after unlocked and loaded update?

[gusty whale]

if you do not care for the other stats then no it doesn't matter

[gusty whale]

yes but "good rolls" are infinitely easier to come by

sometimes within 1-2 purchases at brunt to get the dump stat you want

and from there you can just upgrade it and pick perks/blessings

[bitter depot]

Is double bleed on combat knife meta or is weak point perks also decent?

[sinful summit]

neither are

[vocal nacelle]

Try restarting the game?

[sinful summit]

bleed is globally capped at 16, so youre putting too many eggs in one basket
lacerate requires you to avoid the knives 2.3-2.89 headshot multiplier for a bleed that is doing honestly a lot less than you think, so its just not worth using
fleshtearer can actually be good on a crit build (since it doesnt require you to avoid the head on THE headshot weapon lmao), since youd cap out the bleed in 2 crits, but what it really needs to be effective is uncanny strike, which gives a global rending buff that also applies to your bleed, which dramatically increases its damage against flak, maniac, unyielding, and especially carapace enemies

weakspot/crit damage perks are in a sorry state because of how the math behind them works, they dont increase the total damage of the hit, but rather only the damage bonus from hitting the head or a crit. for example, if you hit the body for 100 and the head to 150, the perk wouldnt increase the damage to 165, it would increase the damage to 155 because the 50 is the headshot damage bonus. so in reality, even on high weakpoint/crit damage weapons, your final damage is in reality less than a 10% increase, and generally youd be better off using a damage perk against an enemy type you plan on using the weapon for, such as flak armor for most elites or unyielding for bosses (which is what i sue on knife), since those perks are a flat 25% bonus to the final damage number

[little coyote]

By globally do you mean 16 instances of bleed from any source or 16 instances of bleed to a single target from any source or something else

[sinful summit]

an enemy can only have 16 stacks of bleed from any source

[little coyote]

right, gotcha

[sinful summit]

they cannot go above that, regardless who or what applies more

[velvet mirage]

What if I smash them hard enough?
-kind regards, big ogryn

[cedar dune]

Hey idk if this is gameplay help related but people said the game runs better on lower threads, and some say 6 is best. My max is 6 threads as shown in my settings, should i keep it that way or lower it?

[quick remnant]

Used to be that it was best to pick half of your max threads, but not sure if still relevant

[cedar dune]

So should i try with 3?

I'm just now very knowledgable on these things so idk if changing it will break something or if i can just try all options without risk

[quick remnant]

It might decrease the frame rates or make you crash, but then you can change it back again

[hard lion]

I have a bully club mk3b with perfect 80% stats except for finesse at 60%, is it worth upgrading?

[zealous dome]

Finesse on Ogryn is attack speed

But you can just heavy lol

[hard lion]

does attack speed not apply to heavies?

[zealous dome]

It does

And if you're really worried about attack speed, the Heavy Hitter keystone has attack speed buffs

[cloud adder]

and if I click on it again, second and forth picture is also what is after the mission.
So it should display the equiped weapon (atleast for these stances), but it doesent correctly

[hard lion]

@zealous dome alright thanks so you would say its worth upgrading to max then?

[fierce sable]

is it just me or the melk contracts aren't progressing? even the collect plasteel ones

[zenith falcon]

Hey, i'm not particularly knowledgeable, is there a big difference in my Combat Knife being 59% mobility as opposed to 60% (with other stats being at 80)? As far as I know, there are some thresholds you must hit to have max dodge?

[smoky ember]

it’s a rounding error, don’t worry about it

you’ll see weapons that go from 59-61

[zenith falcon]

Ah, I see, thank you for explaining!

[cosmic meadow]

Looking for "help" (I am just gonna Cheese it by killing myself at the beginning and stay dead the whole mission) with On Overwatch penance

[keen wasp]

anyone know if this is a rounding issue? or are we finally able to get stuff higher than 4x80, 1x60?

[smoky ember]

rounding issue

[keen wasp]

i see, so no actual extra stats. sadge

[smoky ember]

honestly it shouldn’t really matter

you can look at the stats themself

and see if they actually display something above 60

[ashen junco]

Quick question, whats a good way to grind out a ton of plasteel? Need to level up a bunch of my weapons to 500 power, but ive been hovering around double/triple digits plasteel for a while, cant seem to get enough

[red ginkgo]

Non-Auric Damnation QP is probably the most efficient way. Run knife zealot and run around the map looking for plasteel. You'll still have the speed to keep up with your team

[ashen junco]

Lucky for me I love stealth zealot lol

Somehow even more of a glue sniffer build than book or charge

Its peak

[ashen junco]

Ty though

[deft estuary]

anyone bored enough to help me with brainbursting a monster penance and flesh wound penance

[icy crater]

I'm a bit confused by this on the shock maul, does this effect my secondary weapons stagger or increased stagger on ranged enemies?

[charred briar]

how can i tell if a weapon is better against carapace or flak armor

[smoky ember]

ranged weapons have more stagger

[icy crater]

Time for big ball staff

[smoky ember]

inspect the weapon, you can open the attack breakdowns and see how much base damage a weapon will deal to any armor type

[charred briar]

you are an absolute legend i didnt know that was a thing

[craggy prairie]

does overkill on brutal momentum (and similar perks) do your total damage to enemies effected?

ex) if you do 600 damage weakspot kill to a 375 hp enemy does a 600 hp enemy next to it die?

[smoky ember]

no, it carries your first target damage to the second target

[smoky ember]

oh

wait no i read this wrong

yes it does

whatever your first target damage is, will be dealt to all targets that get hit

[craggy prairie]

even if it surpasses HP bar of the target?

[smoky ember]

so you can kill a groaner and 3 shotgunners

in that order

[smoky ember]

yes

[craggy prairie]

got it

crit combat axe isn't a total waste then i guess

[zealous dome]

It's uh
One of the axes ever
Uh

[craggy prairie]

honestly its just cause new IoD seems really really good

[silk willow]

why block on chat wasn't transferred from Vt2 to Darktide?

also, is mastery Exp gain scaling with Exp gain from mission?
For example, I can pick Heresy mission with 6120exp+1660exp due to modifiers, or I can go damnation with 5140 exp.

Which one would give me more Mastery exp?

I.e. this vs that.

[coral violet]

mastery exp scales off base difficulty

so 2nd

true answer is only run quickplay aurics because higher success rate and dockets+plasteel gained in those will give you even more

[lean scaffold]

How do you create a strike team in this game?
I've got a party of 3 but I cannot queue up a mission?
"Teammate not available for matchmaking"

[silk willow]

Auric Heresy/Damnation gives more mastery than normal heresy/damnation?

[smoky ember]

that happens when one of the people are in a loading screen

[keen wasp]

hello hello. need some help. this number seems to not be going up and i just did a couple full scriptures runs

[quick remnant]

With the 21st ?

[keen wasp]

with the 21st what?

oh it only counts them if they have the infected modifier?

[lone light]

guys how can i get max curios with the current item system ?

[coral violet]

wait for them to show up in brunt's or dump ingots

[tender arch]

is it worth getting a gun from the requisition at 380 and then just level it up, or is it better from Melk

Just hit 30 need some tips on gearing

[bitter depot]

anyone got updated weapon stats for marks and stuff?

[vocal nacelle]

Depend How much plasteel and weapon mastery lvl you have

[slender sleet]

my weapon damage is at 80% that actually seems like the max we can reach, but the min/max thing says literally im not even close to the max damage possible, so maybe in the furute we can like max one thing in every weapon to 100%?

[vernal plaza]

80 IS the max (currently)
Fatshark jank and outside of rounding errors thats the max you can have rn

[umbral oasis]

anyone know if there's an up to date wiki on the game? like, something that a person could go to to learn about how the armour types work and the weapon damage types work?

[vocal nacelle]

Games lantern darktide

Or ask here

[long crypt]

does run and guns close damage buff work properly on the bolt pistol? as in is it too close for the proj to explode without using lethal proximity?

[cunning pilot]

Is the special event for scriptures and grims not tracking for anyone else?

[quick remnant]

Are you picking books in missions with the Moebian 21st ?

[cunning pilot]

Probably not, thank you

[winter wagon]

zealot can use dueling sword ... is it obtainable as an emperors gift, or maybe in the hourly rotating armoury? or only via brunts grey thingi and then upgrading?

[quick remnant]

In all of the weapon sources

[coral violet]

it is available on all non-ogryn classes through all sources after unlocked and loaded

[winter wagon]

hmm, k ... havent seen one yet, thats why i'm asking

[cerulean arrow]

does anyone have a good build for level 17 psyker? i feel really weak currently plaing on level 3 missions

[zealous dome]

Shriek at 86% peril and stuff will die

Use Assail a lot

[cerulean arrow]

thank you boss.

[zealous dome]

Except against heavy armor

[cerulean arrow]

i have a trans blaze sword and electrokinetic staff. good?

and two curios that both give 20% resistance to snipers and gunners

[zealous dome]

Yeah it's good since they complement your blitz

[exotic yew]

anyone want to do the easter egg for the twins real quick? (hit all the bells to unlock the shortcut)

[smoky ember]

transgender sword

[sand sigil]

Has anyone tested the bolt pistol point blank explosion blessing? I tried it in the psykanium and couldn't seem to get it to work

[prisma wraith]

I’ve been using it to shoot at my feet to make some breathing room from melee during missions

[wet birch]

anything to do with dud curios other than discard?

[prisma wraith]

The main stat of the curio can’t be changed, but all the smaller stats can. So not really much else to do with them right now if you don’t like the main stat

[toxic salmon]

If I'm vet doing the auric maelstrom survivor penance

is the ideal comp, 2 psykers + a melee (zealot/ogryn)?

[mild nexus]

4 psykers all using smite

[modern bluff]

Hello discord I have a very important question technical question. So I'm getting a hundred FPS but it feels like 30 with how choppy it is most of the time. However, I just noticed that when I went down and went into black and white mode it all of a sudden got really smooth like it felt like I was actually getting the 100 FPS my FPS counter says I am. Whenever I healed and went back to full color it got choppy again. Can anybody please help me figure out how to make it smooth all the time!?

[livid charm]

Where is the For the Emperor (3) penance description? I can't find it in game or online and I'd like to know how to unlock the helmet for the veteran.

[fluid sand]

Does the Cult Champion on the Rolling Steel train mission having any new stats or it is exactly the same as the Scab Captain?

[fluid sand]

w/ the new update some options were reenabled in my video settings. Might double check that

[smoky ember]

it’s a dreg captain, so i’m fairly sure it’s unarmored on the head

and has different hitmass values

but to a degree where you have to change any way you fight it?

i don’t think so

[late valley]

That sounds like what happens when FSR is on

[fluid sand]

Ya I ask mainly out of curiosity. He does have a helmet though.

[modern bluff]

I found a mod that disables all screen effects and that fixed it. Fsr or game settings has nothing to do with the low frame times

[smoky ember]

it has some weird properties, particularly with a mk3 evis h1

that i dont think the dreg captain has

where when its staggered, revved and unrevved, h1 will not latch

to the captain

[worldly bolt]

best blesssings for combat shotgun?

[vocal nacelle]

depends on which shotgun

scattershot and manstopper on kantrael

[viral yacht]

does anyone know which recon las has cleave now ?

[toxic salmon]

My auric storm survivor seems to be bugged

hasnt progressed?

anyone know how to fix it?

[signal gate]

I wish he had a dirtier crusher

For the maul part

A bit more rust

[novel karma]

do we know if different melee swings have different innate crit chances?

and is there anywhere I can find weapon stats like that?

and do weakspot hits increase crit chance at all?

[hazy schooner]

Any way to fix this yet?

[coral violet]

LC pawned everything off to buy booze

[vocal nacelle]

no

[fluid sand]

Don't think so.

[pure dew]

I noticed that sometimes weapon switching does not work. I don't recall having this issue when playing VT2. I also don't recall having this issue on any class other than Psyker in DT. Is this a known technical issue, or is this a feature?

[cyan arrow]

can we increase the ilvl of curios?

[wet birch]

swapping weapons cant interrupt certain actions, and it doesnt get queued/buffered for after

[smoky ember]

they do

[smoky ember]

no

[smoky ember]

no

best way to see it is with the show crit chance mod

weapons like knife and tac axe have an innately higher crit chance

electro staff too

there’s others but i can’t remember off the top of my head

[smoky ember]

some do

[cloud adder]

🤔 rather the 6% dum-dum instead of ghost?

[rigid wasp]

If you're on psyker, sure

Could also change raking fire for dumdum instead

[wet birch]

how does cleave distribution math work?

[zealous dome]

We are not sure
Although feels like some function

[cloud adder]

🤔 why on psyker?

[rigid wasp]

Empathic evasion gives you 1s of ranged immunity on crit

[true heart]

Why can't i upgrade a mastery trait blessing to lvl2? Says blessing level 2 locked

[quick remnant]

Look at the wheel in the upper left

Is it full or not ?

[frigid shard]

Does max number of wounds go down in higher difficulty games? Or is it a mission modifier or something? It seems like sometimes people have 2 base wounds but sometimes people have 3 base wounds?

I'm trying to figure out how many wounds curios I should run, either 0 or 1.

[little coyote]

Difficulties 4 and 5 have one less compared to 1, 2 and 3

And the ogryn has one extra compared to other classes

[frigid shard]

Cool thanks

[woeful root]

"cleave blah blah distribution" is just your cleave
i.e., it's saying that you have 1.27 cleave on your lights and heavies

[zealous dome]

Tooltip suffering from Fatsharkosis

[wet birch]

ok but then what does 1.27 cleave mean

27% chance to hit a second target /s

[woeful root]

FUCK YOU!!! DIE!!!! BRAINBLAST!!!! KYAAAAA!!!

[quick remnant]

I think it has to do with enemy mass.
Groaner are 1.00
So 1.27 let you hit 2 Groaner
But bruiser are 2.5
So you won't be able to cleave through one

[zealous dome]

Walkers are 1.25 so two walkers

[smoky ember]

cleave targets has no effect on cleave damage

@zealous dome

i tested this earlier

despite it saying cleave damage distribution

[zealous dome]

So it is Fatsharkosis

[smoky ember]

also doesn’t seem to be the case as far as i know

how much hitmass is a shotgunner

scab shotgunner

[zealous dome]

2.00

[smoky ember]

well

hrm

maybe it is

depends if the mk3 evis cleave target stat is displaying cleave for which light

if so, then yeah i think that l1 will stop on a shotgunner without savage sweep up

ok i think it is actually

that number displayed in cleave targets is solely the hitmass it can cleave

and cleave damage stats is what determines cleave damage distribution

[smoky ember]

i’d assume the damage distribution part is either poor translation or a remnant of some older workings

[smoky ember]

in short, for cleave targets, it only effects how many enemies you’ll hit, despite it saying otherwise

for cleave damage, it’s very confusing and seems to be minimally related to a function, and it’s best to just test in the psykanium for precise numbers

[cedar dune]

Hey if i block someone in game, will that stop me from entering a queue with them?

[smoky ember]

yes, but blocking someone on steam will not

[cedar dune]

Alright cool, thanks!

[smoky ember]

of course

[proud nymph]

Are the heavy swords different attack speeds

[sinful summit]

They are not
The only difference are their movesets

[proud nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/orange-cat-cat-side-eye-cat-side-eye-orange-cat-staring-gif-4749659952322810298

i see a difference

[hushed wave]

struggling to figure out the differences between the Shotgun marks since update 🤔

(aside from the altfire)

[proud nymph]

i think the damages

kantrael is the most

[hushed wave]

there is no Kantrael one anymore

[proud nymph]

damn it

[hushed wave]

there's the Agripinaa, the Zarona and the Accatran

[proud nymph]

the brown one

with fire

[hushed wave]

brown one doesn't have fire

[proud nymph]

maybe u have a cosmetic?

[hushed wave]

nope

[zealous dome]

Accatran is the Kantrael

[hushed wave]

brown = spreadshot

[hushed wave]

yea that's the spreadshot one

[proud nymph]

it says fire but okayy

anyways

the damage

[hushed wave]

seems their regular fire all seem to do high damage in the Psykhanium.

[hushed wave]

and yea you're right I was looking in the wrong place

I was looking top left instead of top right

[proud nymph]

i think the ui is fucked but idk

[charred briar]

how are people building the chainaxe currently?

[valid fog]

I wonder what mod is breaking my UI like this

[sinful summit]

The difference here is listed in the first light attack in the combo
Which makes sense, because the first light attack of both are different, having different properties
The first and second light attack of the mk6 has 5.4 cleave, and the third has a cleave of 8
The first light attack of the mk7 has a cleave of 8, and if we compare the cleave damage profiles of both of these attacks, the mk6 l3 and the mk7 l1, they all have the exact same damage profile
It is just misleading info in the stat breakdown because it's not giving the full picture

[patent jasper]

does gunner resist apply to reapers too

[proud nymph]

Ohh i didn't think about the attacks damm
That is super misleading yeah
I went back m forth thinking there might be other differences like one might be lighter or heavier

[modern rock]

Hi, is there a level and gear score guideline for when to do each difficulty level?

[vocal nacelle]

not really

but i will say this
learn to block on sedition and uprising
learn to dodge on malice (dodging melee , avoid getting disabled by specials/ push the poxburster)
learn how to ping an enemy on heresy (tag special if you cant kill it)
learn something called situational awareness on damnation ( your teammate are disabled, help them)
in auric you learn the priority list (because there's always a special and elite , know which one to kill first)

[sinful summit]

this is the best learning curve summary ive ever seen

[vast fiber]

is there a good way to know when to try pushing into damnation?

[vocal nacelle]

most random failed on malice steps, by the emperor i saw auric ogryn cant push poxburster for shit

[vocal nacelle]

did you get downed on heresy? no? try damnation

[vast fiber]

ok. thanks. how much harder is it compared to a heresy maelstrom?

[sinful summit]

maelstrom inherently has a higher intensity than other missions of its difficulty, before modifiers are taken into account

if you felt like you werent having tons of trouble in a heresy maelstrom, damnation should be fine to step into

[vast fiber]

thanks. im gonna try pushing into it.

[vocal nacelle]

Depends on the maelstrom modifier

[vast fiber]

[vocal nacelle]

I-II is easy

Other than that

[sinful summit]

the modifiers are its own thing
the mission is generally still coded as higher than high intensity

[vast fiber]

mutated enemies and pox hounds or mutants usually.

had 2 beast's spawn last one

[vocal nacelle]

True but if you want to try damnation, try the low intensity first

It's like half damnation

[vast fiber]

thanks for the tips

[lime idol]

Try playing C-I-VI maelstrom and see how well u do

[vast fiber]

wat's that mean...

[lime idol]

If u can clear that without too much trouble on heresy, you’re very well ready for damnation

[lime idol]

Waves of specialists, scab faction only, mostly melee enemies, no ammo spawn

[vast fiber]

i run melee ogryn with pickaxe and just shy of 200 toughness.

[vernal plaza]

Ah yes trial by firenurgle rot

[vast fiber]

one finally came up. ima go do it.

[coral violet]

trial by flarapace

[lime idol]

Good luck

[slow warren]

Did they change the shop to have on average lower stat modifier ratings? Coming back to the game and I don't think ive seen anything above like 360 on the armory exchange. I notice melk's has all 380s now. Did they lower the average on the regular shop and max it on melk's?

[vocal nacelle]

yes, you can upgrade stats now at hadron

[slow warren]

oh you can upgrade the base stats? I didnt see that. Can you still only swap one blessing there and then its locked out?

[lime idol]

No, locks are gone

[slow warren]

niiiice

[vast fiber]

just finished it,

[lime idol]

How’d it go

[vast fiber]

had some trouble cuz a goofball woke up a daemonhost and left early on but smoothly in second half

[lime idol]

Not bad, you should prob go damnation then

[vast fiber]

kk

thanks for da tips

[drifting flax]

What's max toughness curio blessing %?

[lime idol]

17%

[worldly bolt]

In brunts armory, is there suppose to be 2 different tabs for "Vigilant Autogun"?

or is that a bug?

[subtle nexus]

is 30 the max lvl?

[vocal nacelle]

Yes

[subtle nexus]

I forget do you get any more talent points past 30 or no?

[coral violet]

you dont

[subtle nexus]

so we get 30ish talent points max?

[stone flint]

Is there a way to quick-throw grenades?

[little coyote]

no, but usually the short range throw is a bit faster to perform what I've found out

[fast laurel]

yea seems to be the case for stat ratings on weapons

[rigid wasp]

hey i need some gameplay help, how do you respectfully ask someone to stop dying if they constantly die over and over. that was rhetorical, i just needed to rant

[vocal nacelle]

need to identify what the cause first

they die from what ranged/ melee/ disabled/ crusher overhead/barrel / 12 rager ?

[coral violet]

if its auric you respectfully vote kick them back to regular board

if it isnt auric thats kinda the place for them to learn how not to

[rigid wasp]

lmfao nah its cool, idc. just a game but damn this dude had all +2 wounds curio

just kept dying nonstop

[coral violet]

+2 wound curios dont exist

the only sources of wounds are baby difficulties and martyrdom

[rigid wasp]

idk, then it was triple +1 but he had a bunch of tiny little bars for his hp

[sinful summit]

If it was a zealot
They have a +2 wounds node near martyrdom

Outside of ogryn who has 1 more innately, they are the only class who can go above 5 wounds on damnation because of it

[alpine cedar]

why is the special event counter for scriptures/grimoire's not updating for me? i've collected an additional 3+ but the counter is the same as it has been before the last few games

[quick remnant]

Are you doing it in missions that have Moebian 21st

[alpine cedar]

oh maybe not. how do i check that?

oh it's the special condition?

[quick remnant]

Missions with those #🐦tweets-sermons message

[pure forge]

Anyone know if you can get 510 weapons?

[smoky ember]

you cannot

[opaque furnace]

so do u really need to worry about getting 420 power curios or?

[pure forge]

@smoky ember that sucks, hate that the upgrade system has an option for "anything under 510" then

[lime idol]

That’s for sorting items that u want to discard

“Anything under 510” means u can discard 500-power items

[short light]

Guys, best double barrel blessings atm?

[smoky ember]

depends on the build

and class

[short light]

Zealot atm

Momentum

[raven drum]

Hey how do I gain blessings now from other weapon? do I just get them auto when sacrificing them?

[charred briar]

can anyone explain how item level works with brunts armory?

[scarlet meadow]

Anyone got any advice on how to get On Overwatch for Vet? No matter what weapons I bring I always fail right at the end of missions and it is getting really frustrating

[hollow oxide]

Hey I'm new just got level 30 what am I supposed to do next regarding gears?

I tried to understand the upgrade system but since there's been the new update idk what info is reliable

I must buy grey weapon and upgrade them to collect blessings I want?

[gusty whale]

play with weapons, get mastery experience, unlock more blessings, and create the weapons you want

[hollow oxide]

how do I go about creating a weapon?

I just buy a grey weapon at the store and make it orange?

[gusty whale]

you get a grey and you look at the base stats, and you look for some distribution of 80/80/80/80/60 in which the 60 is the stat you want the least

then you make it orange, and empower it to max rating

then you can put on whatever you like

[hollow oxide]

ok I'll try this, and for blessing I have to extract them from gears I find in the store? Are they all unique to each weapon?

[ashen junco]

Is there a way to disable the screen tint that gets added from using abilities like point blank barrage or from being 1 wound away from death? Makes it very hard to make things out, especially with PBB, end up not being able to distinguish specials from horde enemies unless I spam ping

and darktide is already a very visually overwhelming game lol

[gusty whale]

there is a mod for that, idk if there is such an option in settings

[rigid wasp]

You used to do that, but now you have a mastery level for each weapon type where you get blessing points to unlock blessings

Then you go to Hadron and you can equip these blessings on your weapon by paying some currency

[amber nimbus]

Any way to change the language in game? I cant find anyway to change it.

[hollow oxide]

great thank you

[pearl loom]

Anyone able to help me do the private game only psyker penance?

[rigid temple]

Can anyone tell me how to raise the level of Curios now in the new system?
Consecrating doesn't do it like it used to

[prisma wraith]

You mean rarity? What does it do now that's different?

[rigid temple]

The "Unlocked & Loaded" update changed the power rating system by allowing you to empower gear to their full potential. However this does not work on Curios, so I do not know how to obtain Curios that match the rest of my gear (I have a 420, 410, and 380)

[prisma wraith]

You never could improve the main stat of the curio prior to the update, you could only buy the one with the main stat you want and change two of the minor stats. The update now just allows you to change all minor stats instead of just two

[rigid temple]

Prior to this update, consecrating a curio would up the power level as well. Now it does not, even from the lowest level

[prisma wraith]

Maybe something for the future? But the power level on the curio doesn't affect anything other than its main stat at the moment, which is determined on creation

[rigid temple]

I see. So it really doesn't add anything since you can swap the perks however you want?

It's always +1 Wounds? Is that the max for that type?

[prisma wraith]

Yeah you can swap around the minor stats however you like, but the main stat cannot be changed. At least for now.

+1 wounds is the max yeah

I've heard things about a +2 wounds curio from early on in the game's life, but +1 is the best you can get right now.

[rigid temple]

Does playing on lv4 lower your wounds?

On Heresy*

[prisma wraith]

Tier 4-5 your base wounds are at 2 yes

[smoky ember]

was fake, didn’t work

[smoky ember]

power rating was just a value of all of the perks added together

power level now, i don’t know how it’s calculated

but it’s not something to worry about

[vocal nacelle]

it exist but crashed the game when you use it

[stiff scaffold]

Hersey difficulty. And it’s people who don’t know how to dodge.

[little coyote]

Me to my friend whom with I've played 300 hours

He keeps insisting I need to be babysitting his ass so he can do his Veteran Gaming moves and kill all the ranged specials

https://imgur.com/a/3TdgKJR

[gusty whale]

politely but firmly tell your friend that he was also issued a melee weapon

[quick remnant]

And then call him a Tau

[little coyote]

Then he'd complain who's gonna kill all the gunners

[prisma wraith]

Certainly not him if he’s gonna dissolve in melee

[little coyote]

[gusty whale]

also him, he is allowed to switch between these weapons

little known fact

[quick remnant]

Preposterous, I do not have a gun, you have no proofs

[little coyote]

Exactly what I've been saying but then he'll cry about how it's a co-op game and I'm supposed to help him

[quick remnant]

You can't help someone that chose to not help themselves first

[prisma wraith]

The default job of everyone is survival +their build intention. But mans just assigning you his own job to not die on top of yours

This just puts an uneven weight of responsibility on another player.

Ideally this weight of responsibility is equal. Sometimes protecting a vet actively in exe stance is optimal, like a horde with several shooters in the area.

But in a co-op game in which any single player can be self-sufficient, the team is usually there to catch each other during undesirable situations and provide additional support when necessary

Articulating is hard it’s 5am

[little coyote]

Quite

and agreed

[velvet mirage]

HAHAHAHAAH

I do this sometimes

[little coyote]

(that's not him, but from a game with him nevertheless )

[acoustic crane]

Alright I know this is probably a stupid question but I played multiple games where this meant different things. When adjusting video options which counts as on or off?
The time when the white indicator is highlighting the selected option, or the time when it is dark?
I can't post pictures here so here is the explanation is this off:
[--On--] Off
Or this
On [-- Off--]

[quick remnant]

Could you post a screenshot ? Would be easier to understand

[acoustic crane]

Is this turned off or on?

[quick remnant]

on

[acoustic crane]

Thank you

[wet arch]

hey, i have a question: do weapon blessings stack with masteries? for example, if i get brutal momentum 4 blessing on my combat axe and also have brutal momentum lvl 4 on its masteries, will i have +30% weak spot damage?

[quick remnant]

No, Mastery is just 'unlocking' blessings that then can be used at Hadron

[wet arch]

wait... you're saying all the masteries ive unlocked, havent been applying at all?

[quick remnant]

Yes, they're for the crafting system

[wet arch]

.... hahahah ok thank you, so i can only have like 3 or so masteries per weapon then? or 2? how many blessings can you have on a weapon?

[quick remnant]

You can unlock all the blessings

But a weapon can only have 2 up

[wet arch]

yeah but how many can i actually apply

alright i see, thanks

[worldly bolt]

do those moebian event enemies count as Dregs?

or are they just reskinned scabs

[quick remnant]

They are neither, same category as Poxwalker and Groaner

[fleet rivet]

is there a place that explain what all the small status effect mean?

[bright relic]

The purple ones should be stated in you Talents tree

The 2 is the Coherency thing

[fleet rivet]

ye but I'd like to know all of them including the one not showing

I always have to second guess what they mean

[signal gate]

Coherency, chosen aura, until death and finally inexorable judgement stacks

[smoky ember]

they come in groups, the first group is just how many people are in coherency, the second group is aura buffs, and the third is buffs from talents and stims

i believe stims are in the third group

[fleet rivet]

ok thanks for the info

are charged attack damage scaling based on how long you keep chargin?

or it's flat damage

I know plasma gun charge is measured by reticle getting smaller

[signal gate]

Only if you have the thrust blessing or the ogryn talent

Otherwise no, there is no point to hold a heavy except to delay when the swing comes out

[idle shoal]

Quick question - does "+50% aura radius" of the perk Charismtic on Veteran mean your effective coherency range is increased by 50%, or JUST the passive aura?

[fleet rivet]

thanks good to know!

[smoky ember]

first one

aura is applied to allies in coherency, so increasing coherency radius increases aura radius

[gaunt adder]

Provided you still have stamina, which attacks in darktide are unblockable?

[prisma wraith]

Aside from bullets/lasers that can be blocked with psyker’s deflector or ogryn’s shield, basically any sort of big overhead swing

[wet arch]

what is a "headhunter" autogun? i assume it's been renamed or something? is it the vigilant autogun now?

[woeful root]

ye

[nova viper]

So um how do I get rid of 4 extra points I couldn't spend on anything.

[quick remnant]

Cause FS gave to many points for that weapon

[nova viper]

So I just have to wait for FS to patch them out?

[quick remnant]

yes, if they do

[grizzled spade]

how do i get grimories?

[quick remnant]

Find them in missions

[smoky ember]

overheads from crushers and maulers, however with dclaw, you can parry them

[wet arch]

wtf are people reffering to when they say "dumdum" or "dum-dum"
its a blessing of some kind i think, but i cant figure out which one it is

[nova viper]

This one

For infantry autogun

[wet arch]

oh. people were talking about it in the context of vigilant/headhunter autogun, but its not there so i assume it got removed from that weapon type

[nova viper]

If I remember correctly Recon Lasgun also have it

[hollow escarp]

what does the level 5 mastery for vigilant autogun do? there's no tooltip

[dapper shard]

That category never had it in the first place

[slate spade]

Is the train mission out because I can't ever see it on the mission board?

[dapper shard]

It's on rotation like all other missions currently are, as far as I can tell

[sterile valve]

Hey so I bought the game ages ago but only recently got a pc that could properly run it, how do I reset... well everything? I'd like to take it from the top

[foggy dragon]

what would be considered the dump stat for the mk 2 dueling sword along with the agripinaa braced autogun? been attempting to max out my build 🙂

[smoky ember]

you can delete your characters, but honestly i wouldn’t recommend it, releveling can be a pain

[smoky ember]

mobility

for both

[sterile valve]

oh to be clear I have exactly 0 levels. My pc was just good enough to boot the game and actually playing the thing was nauseating with the frame rate. I ran out the 2 hour refund period trying to trouble shoot.

Mainly I'd like to replay the intro and the tutorial. I know the arena style tutorial (if its still a thing) can be replayed but idk about the section where you first get brought out of your cell

[foggy dragon]

Ty 🙂

[smoky ember]

create a new character, you can do the prison area again

and the arena tutorial is still an option too

[sterile valve]

sweet ty!

[obtuse quarry]

Hey all, I just picked this up last week and having fun! Quick question for you all - Is it possible (or is there a low probability) to complete a pug quick join missions on Malice? I've gone in a few and the first Flamer seems to wipe everyone. Would you suggest just stick to uprising to level? I'm at level 12 atm.

[vocal nacelle]

Steps of getting good in darktide :

• learn to block on sedition and uprising
• learn to dodge on malice (dodging melee , avoid getting disabled by specials/ push the poxburster)
• learn how to ping an enemy on heresy (tag special if you cant kill it)
• learn something called situational awareness on damnation ( your teammate are disabled, help them)
• in auric you learn the priority list (because there's always a special and elite , know which one to kill first)

[obtuse quarry]

Good tips, thanks!

[vocal nacelle]

for flamer side dodge and shoot him

🔥 🔥

fire bad , the damage ramps up the longer you get hit or in fire

[turbid dock]

Also, bind jump and dodge to seperate buttons

[vocal nacelle]

darktide A B ~~C ~~D ( Always Be Dodging ) C died because C forgot how to dodge

[supple plank]

So I fumble my weapon switches and I need help. For example using smite and need to beat a guy with my sword but instead I’m stuck hip firing my revolver because I either A move the mouse wheel to fast or B I panic. Don’t know if I should change the key binds to make switching easier or what

[vocal nacelle]

press Q for quickswitching?

[supple plank]

Maybe middle mouse button for sword and keep everything as is? Then what would my ping button be?

[vocal nacelle]

I have side mouse button the nade is binded to side button

[supple plank]

I have my side buttons set to sprit and unique attacks

[vocal nacelle]

dodge = shift
quickswitch = Q
tag = X
crouch = C
jump = space
sprint = side 1
nade = side 2
weapon special = V
stimm = B

[supple plank]

Tag = X is not a bad idea tbh

Crouch = C gang anyone?

[vocal nacelle]

i switch nade and weapon special occasionally

[smoky ember]

gross….

[vocal nacelle]

whats your not gross keybind

[supple plank]

Got to share with the class

[jaunty spruce]

How does one buy different weapon types of the same class?

It only lets me buy the one type of shovel.

[lone adder]

I believe mastery allows you to change your weapon's mark to something else if you want to

Just inspect the weapon and go to the top right where it says marks

[vocal nacelle]

press i -> click marks on top right-> change weapon mark

[lone adder]

^ If your mastery level is high enough, you should be able to change the mark around

[jaunty spruce]

thank you

[fleet rivet]

what determines crit chance

any where that displays it?

[coral violet]

https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/279

[fleet rivet]

so there's no flat crit chance?

[coral violet]

there is base class crit chance and base weapon crit chance

they are hidden

[dapper shard]

Class baseline crit chances are:

• Vet & Zealot - 5%
• Ogryn - 2.5%
• Psyker - 7.5%

Ranged Auto-firing weapons typically have a malus to crit chance (-2% IIRC; Ogryn Ripper guns are excluded)
Some single-fire weapons have a bonus to crit chance (Laspistols, regular Lasguns; Revolvers and Electrokinetic staff through Critical Bonus modifier, etc.)

Human-classes' Combat blade also has a bonus 15% crit chance

[rare solstice]

Is there a better crouch button beside l-Cyril for dodge sliding and such?

[rare solstice]

Ayy lmao

[dapper shard]

It’s all up to preference and what you’re willing to adjust your muscle memory to. I use Ctrl for sprint and C for crouch/slide for instance.

[void lotus]

Does anyone know of any good guides or info out there for returning players? I haven't played since I put the game down after it came out. Saw the recent changes with weapon stats and thought I would come back.

[hollow escarp]

i got the vigilant autogun mastery 5 but i don't know what is does, my tooltips won;t show anything. it's the mark III skull crosshair +1 one. anybody know?

[signal gate]

Click item in inventory, click marks

You should have 2/3 marks unlocked now

[hollow escarp]

that's mastery 3 though isn't it? i'm asking about mastery 5

[signal gate]

? Then it would either be modify perk level increase or

Ill check in 30 or so minutes

[hollow escarp]

it's weird, no other weapons have it, i only see it on vigilant autogun

[raw smelt]

Is the 500 empower limit from mastery the max or i can get stronger weapons other way ?

[smoky ember]

500 is max

[raw smelt]

How do i get max power Curios if i cant empower them 🤔?

[hasty pagoda]

you don't but their effects max out around 430 or something so it wouldn't matter too much

[patent jasper]

curios rating is also kinda worthless because you can have a several different ratings for the same main stat%

[wet arch]

what is "strength"? for example on the headtaker blessing
easy to assume it's just some sort of damage buff but what does it actually mean? what's the difference between strength and power for example?
couldnt find anything online (at first glance) surprisingly enough

[smoky ember]

strength was originally power, but was renamed, but strength increases damage, cleave, and stagger

[wet arch]

i see thanks, so what does power do then?

[smoky ember]

the same thing

power was just renamed to strength

[wet arch]

so you can stack power and strength then? for example headtaker and decimator
or will only one apply as its technically the same thing

[smoky ember]

they both apply

if one says power, its just a fatshark moment

[smoky ember]

the stats are increased all the same, so 15% power means 15% more damage, cleave and stagger

[wet arch]

i see lol, there seems to be a lot of things that were renamed
headhunter to vigilant autoguns, power to strength, im sure i'll come across some others too, doesn't really help when trying to read very old posts

is there maybe some changelog compilation thing i could read to see what was renamed or just removed? for example trying to find fire frenzy and deathspitter on vigilant autogun which are the recommended blessings, but they dont seem to exist

[lime idol]

How in-depth do u want

[void lotus]

I'll take it as in-depth as I can get it. It's fine if it goes over stuff I already know, might be a good refresher

[lime idol]

What class do u mainly play

[void lotus]

Mostly would be nice to know what to work towards and how to focus on upgrading stuff. I'm all across the board, but I'd say I mainly like veteran

I've already got all classes to 30

[lime idol]

I got a 100+ page guide pinned in #veteran-class

It’s not fully finished, some areas are under overhaul

But it should help

[void lotus]

Much appreciated

[half phoenix]

What does it mean when on the Ogryn shield it says "Target receives 1 stack if already staggered" I know what staggering is but this sentence isn't making any sense. Does it mean if i am just near them when they stagger they get the stack? Or do I have to hit them?

[lime idol]

Which blessing

[half phoenix]

Both the tunder strike and skull crusher blessings

[void forge]

it means the target receives a stack of the debuff while they are staggered...

[half phoenix]

But how does that work? It says if they are already staggered. Staggered from what? Anything? Me?

And does that mean I just have to be near them with the weapon? Or do I have to hit them?

[void forge]

you need to stagger or hit them while they are staggered to apply the debuff, of course

[lime idol]

No

[void forge]

Yes

[lime idol]

Hitting enemies (with damage/push) apply stacks of Skullcrusher / Thunderstrike, which increases damage/stagger they receive while staggered by 10% per stack (up to 8 stacks) for 5s

[lime idol]

Seriously, no, that’s not how they work

[half phoenix]

So me applying the stagger also applys the debuff

[lime idol]

Thunderstrike is useless, skullcrusher is the important one

Through applying stagger (you hitting things), they will take more damage when in staggered state

[half phoenix]

Gotcha

See it needs to say that instead of what it does say

Should say "After staggering, apply debuff or do dmg"

[lime idol]

This “+damage taken” debuff is huge because it’s multiplicative to +damage and +strength, meaning at full stacks you get a flat x1.8 damage to that enemy

And since this is a debuff, it amplifies all damage they take by up to x1.8 (from every source, not just you)

[void forge]

oh I see where I got it wrong, I thought they had to be staggered to apply it aswell mb

[half phoenix]

Oh and while I am asking, is there a way to take off a blessing or is it on there for that weapon and I need another shield

[lime idol]

U can swap blessings at hadron’s place

[half phoenix]

Awesomesauce

[lime idol]

In a game where most +damage benefits are in increments of 10% and 5%
Getting a x1.8 is huge lol

[half phoenix]

So when applying the blessing after getting mastery points, those blessing are put on the shield or just unlocked at the shrine?

[lime idol]

You unlock the blessing at mastery page, apply it onto your weapon at shrine

[half phoenix]

And after fully mastering a weapon it makes everything the highest level?

[lime idol]

Full mastery = you have enough blessing points to unlock every blessing’s IV version

[half phoenix]

Sweet

[lime idol]

Except electrokinetic staff (psyker) where you have 4 extra points because it’s bugged

[half phoenix]

Thank you so much @lime idol and @void forge

[sinful summit]

@half phoenix ik the convo ended like 30 min ago but heres a real-game example of it having a visible effect against a boss

i notice the zealot is casting chorus, which will stagger the boss every few pulses, so i hit the cspawn at least twice during the stagger to ensure SC is stacked up to 80%
then on the next stagger i do a heavily damaging attack with the charge to make use of it, and you can see the damage in the healthbar for yourself due to the 80% dmg debuff

[half phoenix]

The only thing I took from that was your crazy hud placement which I kinda love

Is that a mod or is that something you can do in game?

[sinful summit]

its a couple of mods mixed together there

[lean scaffold]

I have discovered a bug where my Veteran is stuck using the Plasma Gun.
No matter what weapons I have equipped, I always enter each map with the Plasma Gun in-hand.
Even from within the Psykhanium, I can change weapons from the Loadout screen, but when I exit the Loadout screen, I remain stuck using the Plasma Gun

Any ideas?

[half phoenix]

would you be down to dm me the mods you used?

[sinful summit]

the main ones are numericui and custom hud
i also have show current crit chance there to but thats just cuz im a crit fiend

[half phoenix]

awesomesauce

[patent jasper]

What sub curios traits are generally good to use

[vocal nacelle]

gunner res, sniper res, health , toughness

[sinful summit]

stamina regen is also good but a matter of personal taste
i run 3x on all curios on all classes, and some people run none ever

[undone moth]

Is veteran tougher than all classes

[coral tide]

i think it still has the highest base toughness value yes

[vocal nacelle]

If you put golden toughness , yes

If not ogryn

[smoky ember]

yeah, it can reach an effective toughness value where it doesn’t take any health damage from a crusher overhead

in a vacuum, idk how easy it is to get tbh

[rigid wasp]

I thought it was something like VoC and iron will

It's a hard game. Play a harder difficulty! 😄 Truly.

See who survives and watch why.

Good luck.

[true solar]

Are there any information on which stats to aim for an what weapon? I'm kinda new and a bit overwhelmed where I should aim for an 80 stat and which stat can be neglected... Especially for melee weapons

[prisma wraith]

A general rule I follow is using mobility as the "dump" stat whenever it's there unless I've got other plans.

There are also some guides in the pins of the class channels, I know the ogrynomicon guide has info on ideal stat distribution

[stiff crest]

any reason. sometimes it's because a trapper appeared. sometimes it's because I was surrounded. sometimes it's because I didn't see a sniper and it shot me. Literally any reason at all.

I have a 5 Veteran, 13 Psyker and 10 Zealot

[turbid dock]

Inspect weapon stats

[prisma wraith]

Audio cues will be your best friend when it comes to avoiding damage, as you play, you'll get a better feel on how to respond to these threats. You'll also want to get very familiar with dodging and blocking and overall avoiding damage completely

• Trapper's netgun charging up? Dodge perpendicular
• See a sniper laser? dodge/slide/both and blast em. Sliding makes ranged attacks miss you entirely. A sniper will also (usually) make a "zing" sort of noise right before firing to signal you to dodge
• Attacks coming from the back will often have an audio cue as well (whoosh for melee, beep for ranged) so you'll know if you need to quickly evade a backstab

[turbid dock]

Once you get more comfortable dealing with each special, you can play confidently. Then it's map knowledge to know where to stand during hordes/events. All come with time and experience

[stiff crest]

I don't get how anyone can just... dodge whenever. it feels so clunky to use. is it just really hard on controller?

[rigid wasp]

Dodging has a bit of wonkiness with nets and not dodging perpendicular to attacks

[stiff crest]

I rarely hear any audio queues at all. I keep hearing about them but I rarely actually hear them

[prisma wraith]

I play on keyboard and mouse, so it's only my assumption that quick dodging might be a lil wonkier on controller

[stiff crest]

especially the woosh or beep I have never heard those

[prisma wraith]

I also didn't notice many audio cues starting out and tuned myself to them over time. So it would either be that or you're somehow having an audio bug on lower density missions

I'll jump in game and get you a sample of them

[cloud adder]

The laughing of the trapper when she is far away, her speech how she will end you on her way to you, the electric charging of her netgun?

[stiff crest]

x.x bro this has to be the hardest game I have ever played

[prisma wraith]

Not a big deal, takes time and feels very rewarding

[vocal nacelle]

What class are you using

[cloud adder]

Also for the beginning, it helps to either mute the music or lower it greatly

[stiff crest]

zealot, veteran and psyker

[vocal nacelle]

Psyker is hard for newbie need to learn more mechanic

[stiff crest]

gonna be real a difficulty 2 was still really difficult with my vet, level 5 with shovel and revolver

[vocal nacelle]

Try to learn how to dodge and block

Most damage are avoidable by dodging

[stiff crest]

yeah its all about dodging i know. mdodging is so hard for me

[vocal nacelle]

There's also sprint, sprint slide

The block in this game is 360,so you holding block can save your ass from being stabbed from behind

[cloud adder]

Block is 360?
It's not like in vermintide 2!?

[rigid wasp]

I thought it was 360 in Vermintide

[vocal nacelle]

Vermintide also 360 but out of range blocking /butt blocking consume more stamina

Also elite enemies is number one newbie killer

[stiff crest]

thanks for doing that but theres no way i can react to any of those sounds. guess I play difficulty 1 and 2 forever

[turbid dock]

Push in vt2 wasn't 360

[prisma wraith]

It'll come with time

[turbid dock]

It is in DT

So hear dog, just push

[cloud adder]

Push is also 360°!?

[prisma wraith]

ye

[cloud adder]

That should be mentioned during push tutorial :0

[prisma wraith]

I want to also add that sprinting perpendicular to gunfire while you have stamina will avoid them
Me getting hit in this clip is from a lil wonkiness

and me being able to avoid them while out of stamina is a zealot talent way down on the tree

[stiff crest]

sigh i appreciate the help man. i really do. just watching these videos tells me how far i have to go....

[prisma wraith]

Holy shit it works on snipers

I did not know that

[stiff crest]

is quickplay unique in any way

[cloud adder]

More rewards

[prisma wraith]

Bonus resources + xp

and the chance you get inserted into a losing mission because someone alt-f4'd

[stiff crest]

i mean i go into every mission expecting to lose unless i have at least 1 friend with me thats on a level 30

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[prisma wraith]

Well I'm happy to provide more help if you need and so are the others looking at this channel, so feel free to ask.

[stiff crest]

well when im motivated to play it again we'll see. thanks

[slow warren]

does brunt's armory only give one model of a weapon? I want the mark 9 shotgun but it keeps giving me the mark 7.

[late valley]

You can change a weapons mark by selecting it in your inventory it's in the top right

Hello i would like to ask where can I find thing like meta builds, uptodate weapon and skill tree tier lists and which weapons/ skills are noob traps?

is purging flames penance bugged?
i burn like 20 enemies with the grenade and a lot die but i get like 2 progress per horde

[smoky ember]

guides are pinned in class channels (except zealot chat, it’s not finished yet, buy you can ask for advice in there)

[smoky ember]

yeah, some people were complaining about it before, there’s some bug about kills being counted unfortunately

might not be a bad idea to report it on the forums

[undone summit]

would anyone be willing to help me with the malleus monstronum penance (brain burst 50% of a monstrosity)?

I recommend #vox-lfg-nasa and related channels below to getting a game together with other folks.

[undone summit]

Okay, thanks for the reply!

[lone adder]

No prob

[stiff crest]

i just went into the meat grinder to practice dodging on keyboard and on controller and I've come to conclusion that I have no idea how people use this movement system

[smoky ember]

what do you mean?

[stiff crest]

I don't understand how I'm supposed to move and do... anything else. it's so awkward

[smoky ember]

how?

dodging is pretty simple

sliding is pretty simple

what exactly is confusing you?

[stiff crest]

how to effectively do any of it and keep moving

[smoky ember]

it’s something you learn with practice, the game feels very fluid as you learn it

it takes time

and feels a million times better on keyboard than controller

i’d recommend you bind your jump and dodge to different keys, to prevent yourself from jumping when you meant to dodge

[sterile valve]

Hey wondering, is there a way I can play solo, or solo with a bot. There's no consensus online on whether its possible or coming or going or whathave you

[lime idol]

You can do so with mods
They very recently said in FS forums that it’s still being worked on

[rigid wasp]

Alternatively, there is the mod that prevents jumping while dodging

https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/249

[smoky ember]

i’ve heard that mod isn’t very effective

and i recommend just rebinding anyway, in case the mod gets broken by an update or something

[rigid wasp]

I can't say I ever had a problem with it, at least that I noticed. I used to jump by accident all the time, installed the mod, kept doing what I was doing and stopped jumping by accident

[silk quartz]

what changes between 3 and 4 difficulty

[lime idol]

Enemy health & spawn intensity mainly

[silk quartz]

is it like exponential?

[lime idol]

Idk I haven’t played malice & heresy in a long time

[smoky ember]

it’s very noticeable, hordes on 3 are very thin and small compared to hordes in 4 and 5, particularly compared to auric 4 n 5

[vocal nacelle]

Split the dodge and jump keybind

[raw sage]

Wait are they the same keys now on the default keybinds? I always had mine different

And I was very confused about other people complaining about it

[smoky ember]

they’ve always been the same key by default

[raw sage]

weird, mine's always been different

[craggy prairie]

is cleave targets effectively a dump stat on antax w/ brutal momentum? or does it effect it

[vocal nacelle]

Mobility is the dumpstat

[neon jasper]

Im pretty new, lvl 23 but im using decent transcendent weapons and find difficulty 3 pretty easy. when should i go to difficulty 4?

[raw oracle]

umm lol plz fix xD

[smoky ember]

ur GPU seems to be exploding

[vocal nacelle]

If you didn't die in malice try heresy

[neon jasper]

okay thanks, i was doing malice all during the event and was fine so il move up.

[silk quartz]

you are just seeing the warp

[sinful summit]

P sure this is an outdated driver issue

[sterile valve]

Ok so I'm new to the game, and it feels like nothing has been properly explained outside of the controls (which actually were well done)

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/279443843789750282/1294167254081994772/image.png?ex=670a06ad&is=6708b52d&hm=7e536076b641ee274df0b3b32ac0625b9ecb6ab691b737583f9e7afa8fa53509&

what does any of the stats on weapons actually mean? Why are there greyed out bars? Why doesn't the force sword mention it deducts huge amounts of stamina when pulling it out?

[smoky ember]

stat meaning can be seen when you inspect a weapon

and hover over that stat

[smoky ember]

greyed out bars represent the weapons potential, meaning as you empower the weapon (can be done at hadron as you master the weapon), you can increase its stats

[sterile valve]

First ty didn't think hovering would work in inspect mode since it didn't outside of it but why are they percentages? Percentages of what

[rigid wasp]

Of the value range when you mouse over the stat

[sterile valve]

ok im bad at math but how is 91% of 110 either 83.50 or 116.50

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/279443843789750282/1294169394175541278/image.png?ex=670a08ac&is=6708b72c&hm=1cd8dd1bd99ae9fe4d35f395716a52eca144dec309de5100a515fdc6e9905148&

also this is physically painful to read with the half seethrough letters and the spinning weapon in the background

[rigid wasp]

No no, the value range

83.50 to 116.50

There's a range of 33 there

[sterile valve]

is it rng based like pokemon or off of weakpoints and such

[rigid wasp]

Not that the game is very consistent with the values anyway

Ideally you orient yourself through the damage table it gives

[prisma wraith]

There's another button to look at the attack breakdowns, which tells you the damage it does from the armor it hits and where it hits

[turbid yarrow]

is devil's claw parry tied to block as well like if i have block cost reduction does that reduce parry cost

[prisma wraith]

As far as I know, yes

[rigid wasp]

It's pure YOLO magic

[turbid yarrow]

good now i can make a pure parry build

[prisma wraith]

I tried making a pure parry build but 90% of mobs just kept running past me

like wtf beat me up please

[turbid yarrow]

but then 2 crushers parfectly timed so you cant parry after another smack you across the map

[sterile valve]

ok I am a dipshit but, does the ogryn have any parry capable weapons? He does have that taunt

probably not since... ogryn

[turbid yarrow]

AHHAHA no

[prisma wraith]

It is only the devil claw that has the parry special, which ogryn hands are too big for

[sterile valve]

just did my first mission with the scanner thing, seeing the ogryn use it is adorable

[turbid yarrow]

just give him a tree then bam you have a parry weapon for ogryn its nice and light

we need mroe ranged diversity for ogryn tbh something that already inflicts fire

[prisma wraith]

The itemization patch added a short window right after a parry that still counts as blocking. Question is if it is a "parry block" that will protect you, or just a normal block, allowing you to be absolutely mashed into the floor

[turbid yarrow]

like a dragons breath ripper

[turbid yarrow]

or kickback

btw the blessing that says something about block on the blaze force sword should be on devil's claw

since it says parry ranged attacks or whatever on that blessing

[prisma wraith]

devil claw having all stagger blessings and no timed block blessings

[turbid yarrow]

like why its not even related like give those to like power maul on ogryn

or give it a bleed blessing its a literal speed type of weapon not stagger

[smoky ember]

hammer sword!

[sterile valve]

oh speaking of the blaze force swords block what does that do anyway it looks weird enough to be something

[turbid yarrow]

its called deflector

[prisma wraith]

Well its push attack is different from other weapons as it's just.. a second bigger push
But force swords have the "deflector" blessing that can block ranged attacks

[turbid yarrow]

put it on devil's claw when you parry

[turbid yarrow]

and how does that even works (i dont play psyker only zealot and ogryn atm

[prisma wraith]

You push, then the push followup attack is also a push

[smoky ember]

deflector? or the push attack?

[turbid yarrow]

oh okay

i love used thunder hammer and combo's it with double le barrel

[smoky ember]

all melee weapons have a push attack

[turbid yarrow]

why did my auto correct turn french

[turbid yarrow]

ik

im not s totally new player i only have 100 hours roughly

[smoky ember]

oh lol

[turbid yarrow]

i just rarely block since i used to do a lot of dagger stuff on vermintide

unless im ogryn snd using slab since theres a literal chunk of metal in my face that says to me "BLOCK ALREADY"

gn

[prisma pilot]

hi i get a memory leak in this game if i play for too long
does anyone else get this problem and is there a way to fix it or is it just something im gonna have to deal with

[prisma wraith]

Just about everyone has to deal with it, some have set a launch option so it takes a while longer before happening again

[prisma pilot]

fk alright thanks

[prisma wraith]

Funny enough, it would happen a lot when trying to roll a weapon from the Brunt casino pre-itemization update because you had to buy so much

[sinful summit]

If you put this in your steam launch settings, it greatly mitigates how often it happens/how long till it happens

--lua-heap-mb-size 2048

[lime idol]

In “launch options”?

[sinful summit]

on steam

[lime idol]

[cloud acorn]

Question: for the auric survivor challenge that you need to survive 5 maelstroms in a row. IF I did 2 maelstroms in a row and want to do another difficulty like auric non maelstrom, if i die during that will it reset or will it only reset if i die in a maelstrom run?

[turbid dock]

Afaik it's the later

But I'm not 100%

[smoky ember]

i’d help you but my power is out

but as for the second one, it’ll be easiest to do on auric heresy or damnation, on a map with a tight corridor, you can usually just tell your team that that’s the penance you’re going for and they won’t mind letting you get it

you could take a shield, and keep pushing a horde to let them all build up in a hall, then charge

enclavum baross has a good corridor for it, a little before the mid event with the interrogater

power matrix does too, a bit before the end event

before the drop down

lol

[vocal nacelle]

APAC region?

cant help, gl

[solar socket]

Does cleave only affect melee attacks?

[smoky ember]

if you’re talking about the cleave talent in psyker’s tree, no

cleave affects how much hitmass something can hit

note, increasing cleave does not increase cleave damage distribution

but it will affect weapons like voidstrike, guns, assail

[solar socket]

Ohh okay. Though I thought voidstrike just kept going until it hit something it didnt kill

[smoky ember]

noh it has cleave

[smoky ember]

the only ranged infinite cleave is flamer and inferno staff

[turbid yarrow]

what about booms

[smoky ember]

honestly i don’t really know much regarding explosion cleave, i know trauma staff has infinite cleave but i don’t know about grenades n such

[turbid yarrow]

its a projectile and the explosion hit everything in it ape regardless

[turbid yarrow]

looks at ogryn's big nade infinite cleave

[smoky ember]

probably

[turbid yarrow]

the stun nade, box of hurt, fire nade all have inf cleave in the technical sense

[smoky ember]

fair

[turbid yarrow]

idk what cleave on kickback is

but i can wipe out huge hordes with 1 shot

unless its a bunch of ragers and i dont crit

which i have nasty crit chance specifically on a kickback idk why

that or im getting lucky with the shots

[vocal nacelle]

not for me, i tried it once 200 ping and constant DC

[brittle tartan]

Hey guys, haven't played since basically launch and was wondering what the best knife 2 perk combo is now adays? Iirc double bleed did a hefty amount of dot to monstrosities and bigger units while also still allowing for block attacking to take out the smaller ones easily but not sure if thats still a thing

[smoky ember]

depends on the class

[brittle tartan]

ahh yeah sorry forgot to mention, Pysker

I use purg staff for hordes so its mostly for bigger enemies

[smoky ember]

depends on the build, but i’d say uncanny precog, or uncanny riposte if you’re going scriers gaze

[zealous dome]

Easy
Uncanny + Riposte or Precognition

[brittle tartan]

oh interesting, i'll def have to look into those then for sure, was always just using bleed builds on it haha

[zealous dome]

The rending from Uncanny also affects your DoTs

[brittle tartan]

appreciate it a bunch guys!

[smoky ember]

bleed builds are most effective on zealot

uncanny lacerate is a very viable option on zealot

[brittle tartan]

Yeah I mained zealot in the early days just because it was more forgiving so I guess my mentality just transistioned to bleed good on him = bleed good on everyone haha

Is the knife still a solid overall weapon though btw? I mostly just used it for block attacks since its super forgiving along with the mobility, along with pysker being able to use peril for blocking as well to help with that part of it

[smoky ember]

knife is extremely strong

[brittle tartan]

Thank god, it was always my favorite weapon by a long shot because it just felt so fluid and mobile haha

[smoky ember]

yeah fair

[smoky ember]

double bleed blessings are pretty redundant on knife though

thanks to there being a global bleed cap of 16

[brittle tartan]

oh wow didnt realize that, yeah can def see that not being handy then for sure

oh last thing, is m3 or m6 overall the better?

or is it just preference?

[smoky ember]

both are good, mk3 has better single target , mk6 has better generalist use

if you’re using purg as your primary, i’d take the mk3

but its preference really

just run a couple games with both

see how u feel

[brittle tartan]

yeah i always used the mk3 back in the day so probably will just use it since the block attack feels alot more reliable for me

but if i come across a solid mk6 will def give it a shot haha, appreciate it bud

[smoky ember]

mk6 actually has a better push attack im pretty sure

[smoky ember]

you can switch between marks now

with sufficient mastery, you can swap between marks freely

in the inventory

[brittle tartan]

the mk6 block attack def feels faster in the meat grinder at least from testing right now

oh interesting

[smoky ember]

yarp

[brittle tartan]

Dope will do some testing for sure then, thanks again!

[smoky ember]

yah of course

[lime idol]

Because it is faster

Mk6 does mostly everything better, but mk3 has a more accessible single target combo that doesn’t involve spending stamina for PA

[modern bluff]

how to get more palsteel

[gusty whale]

play game

stab heretic

pick up tube with seal

sell things you do not want

[cloud adder]

is this the memory leak?

or is this some other problem?

[prisma pilot]

yeah it's that

i get the same error

i assume windows throws it when darktide hogs too much

[cloud adder]

to much vram?

[raw sage]

Man, where did all the Operations missions go? When they first came out it was like 3/4 of them were steel train

[prisma wraith]

Rolling steel is the only operation mission

[raw sage]

Yeah, I mean to say that there's none left on the mission boards anymore.

[smoky ember]

they are part of the normal mission cycle now, when a new map is introduced it’ll always be on the board, but after a while it returns to being just another mission in the cycle

[gaunt adder]

I have 80/80% in Damage on a recon lasgun. My damage stats aren't maxed out in the inspection view. Is there still variability at 'max' stats?

nevermind the mark, I know the VIc is better, just powered up this new one and forgot to swap marks

[vital blaze]

If you're talking about the 109.90 of 116.50, the bigger number would be if you had a damage of 100, which isn't (currently) possible.

[green flame]

Has it happened to anyone else that you get into a mission with a completely different gun/weapon than the one you had in your loadout? Happened to both me and my friend

[gaunt adder]

never when I haven't accidentally either chosen a different weapon, or chose the wrong loadout.

[winter gull]

why is Numeric UI mod still bugged? It doesnt display teammate ammo and health/toughness

[vocal nacelle]

yes, server lag

[winter gull]

I have already updated to the latest version that released at Sep 27, and there is no error when loading the mod at the start

[vocal nacelle]

it works for me

try reapply it?

[winter gull]

how should I do it?

simply copy the file and put it into the mods folder again?

[vocal nacelle]

click the batch file

un apply the mod
click the batch again
apply the mod

[winter gull]

let me try it really quick

[winter gull]

till no luck

did you installed manually or though nexus mod manager?

[vocal nacelle]

manually

[winter gull]

which folder did you added into the mods folder?

and what is your mod load order?

should I load it as the first one?

[vocal nacelle]

i dont think that matter, but did you also get new update for DMF and darktide mod loader?

[winter gull]

yeah they are all the latest

[vocal nacelle]

or redownload the mod again

[winter gull]

I did that today already

[vocal nacelle]

well ask the mod server

[winter gull]

this mod has a DC server?

[stone flint]

Are the items from Brunts random item option always a grey?

[vocal nacelle]

darktide mods have dc server #📌communities message

[vocal nacelle]

yes

[smoky ember]

it does, you only need to add the NumericUI folder, the other one is only for mac users

[winter gull]

I found the cause of the issue, it is simply because NumericUI is OFF by default in the mod manager, this is crazy

out of all the mods that turn themselves on by default, numericUI is the only one started with the OFF

[smoky ember]

[ashen junco]

Running a 5600x with a 10gb 3080 and 32gb of 3600 MHz ram on a 3440 1440 144 Hz monitor, anyone with anything similar able to get raytracing to not eat their frames?

Like the game runs fine with raytracing off, but it looks so much nicer with raytracing even on low

but also even on low raytracing settings, I can get pretty bad lag patches at times

[raw sage]

Darktide runs on my laptop's 3080 with RT just fine

No lag patches.

Those are pretty easy to do solo

[ashen junco]

Bomb one isnt hard itself, but getting enough grenades to get the 4 consecutive hits outside of 50% grenade missions is, since randos tend to take any grenades in sight more often than not (unless ogryn get more than 2 boxes now?)

[raw sage]

Ironically, it was easier to do on higher difficulty levels where people aren't just grabbing every grenade they see..

[ashen junco]

Yeah def would make it easier lol

Also more gunners

They tend to stay nice and still

[raw sage]

The condition with more mutants makes it even easier - they're always coming towards you

Chuck the box underhand as well, it's a flatter arc and seems to throw faster

(overhanding a mutant sometimes means your box flies over it)

And.. you can't hit a bulwark's shield or hit the same elite twice

The easiest is a maelstrom with enhanced blitz and mutants 😄

[sterile valve]

Is there anyway to mod in the ability to have crosshairs while using the staves? the first one you unlock has a really finnicky and vague primary fire made susbstantially more of a pain to use given the tiny nothing of a dot you get for a crosshair.

[rigid wasp]

https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/253

[raw sage]

yup, better crosshairs remap mod

[sterile valve]

ah fantastic ty

[vocal nacelle]

[gaunt nebula]

where can i see weapons total crit chance?

[vocal nacelle]

Install mod

[slender sleet]

can soemone explain me those things pls

im lagging sometimes and i dont understand why

[smoky ember]

frame generation basically just generates another frame based on the previous frame, significantly helping with frame rate

if you’re having issues, try switching balanced to quality

and i’d recommend increasing the sharpness to max

as frame gen can make it a bit burry

[slender sleet]

ok thank you im trying with those things!

[sterile valve]

Hey so I'm trying to mod in the crosshairs remap mod since I'm playing psyker and would like to see where I'm aiming and while I have gotten the mod options thing to come up and I can see that the mod framework is working... no crosshair optionhttps://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/279443843789750282/1294692595372523581/image.png?ex=670beff0&is=670a9e70&hm=fceacf6902ba20162243bed3a00424da22b8d92486f45dad2bb29d5aa153ed9f&

this is the mod that isn't working https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/253?tab=description

[vagrant girder]

so guys does rating on curio effects stats?

[gusty whale]

just the base stat

like +stam or toughness/health

[velvet mirage]

I feel like if you make and play with your own build, you will get a lot more understanding of the skill tree and eventually be able to make a more tailored build for you compared to always using builds posted online

Does anyone else agree?

I know that preset builds can be really strong and optimised, but I think that if that's all you do, you're never really getting to know the skill tree well

[smoky ember]

builds online in most areas except here don’t explain why you take a certain option

usually here, you can ask why you’d take one option over another, and the person who posted it won’t mind explaining why, or what precisely makes the build work

i think experimenting is good, but you should take advice and inspiration from other builds

[velvet mirage]

yeah, i mean morso for getting your builds off that online website

googling 'most popular [operative] build'

[smoky ember]

those builds suck though

[velvet mirage]

well yeah, and I feel like youd never be able to tell if you hadnt done your own stuff

[upper pumice]

(nevermind i noticed you can manually change which type each are now, I deleted my question)

[rare solstice]

can someone please help me out with my modlist on vortex
i switched to it from manual and now my game wont boot

[vapid dew]

Don’t use vortex

Problem solved

[rare solstice]

might be the thing to do tbqh

its shit

[sterile valve]

I cant get the crosshairs mod to work with mine. its installed but unlike the framework mod and the mod loader, both of which are working fine, this one just isn't.

[strange comet]

does the +%experience work with weapon mastery?

[raw sage]

Been playing since launch and I still can't karking remember what a scab and what a dreg is - what do you guys use to remember that?

[neon galleon]

dregs are the ones in yellow robes and scabs are the soldiers

dregs tend to be more unarmored and scabs tend to have more flak

[raw sage]

Yes but how do you actually remember that

[tidal harbor]

same way you remember left and right

[neon galleon]

i dunno, like the name dreg seems kind of scummy and disgusting = yellow/green

[raw sage]

turns out, oggy only knows "where lil'uns is" and "where heretics is"

[neon galleon]

scab is kind of tough and protected = flak/soldier

[tidal harbor]

aww oggy

[neon galleon]

dregs are the gross cultists, scabs are the tough & bloodied soldiers

[tidal harbor]

dregs are poopy, scabs are droopy

[sinful summit]

I remember it in a weirder way
Scabs are like armor for wounds, so scab enemies are the ones with flak armor
Dregs in destiny 2 wear purple cloth, dregs in darktide wear yellow cloth

[strange comet]

probably, idk

[final saddle]

Good day folks. Seeking an beefy Ogryn with shield to help me with the private penance

[signal gate]

actually it's scabs cause workers who refused to join a union or worked when the union was striking, aka traitors

dregs because the dregs of society, aka the most worthless parts of tertium, where the cult originated

[raw sage]

Ohhh I might remember the scab one this one

[raw sage]

This is a good one too, tysm

[smoky ember]

wh

what

dregs are dregs of society

they were rags because they r poor

simple as that

[sinful summit]

Yeah and dregs are also the dregs of the fallen and I'm destiny 2 brainrotted

[smoky ember]

you really are

ur slop brained

[sinful summit]

It's so over for me

[stone flint]

Do the +wounds items give you more hp or just more downs

[smoky ember]

just more downs

[brave breach]

In other words, useless. Unless you're a martyrdorm zealot

Technically it does give more "hp" since the more wounds you have, the more up you have when revived

[stone flint]

stamina on the other hand is actually an increase yes?

[brave breach]

But not worth

[brave breach]

Yes

You block more

[stone flint]

Last questions for now;

1. For Thunder hammer and chain weapons, does waiting for the rev up animation to finish do anything? or is the effect at full effect as soon as i can swing
2. Heavy attacks; same kinda question. Does charging it until it auto-swings do more dmg than holding for the minimum amount of time ?

[void forge]

waiting for the charge animation on the special to finish does nothing. holding your heavies does nothing to increase damage unless you have something like thrust or crunch

[stone flint]

tyty

[raw sage]

or you have a perk that requires a full charge

[void forge]

what do you mean? there is no weapon perk that has something to do with charging

[brave breach]

I could swear the heavy had something like that, but I haven't checked the talent trees in a while

[raw sage]

er, not perk, talent

[void forge]

ah yes, I mentioned crunch in the comment

[raw sage]

ah, I'm dumb and can't read SAH

[stone flint]

the ogryn emoji was foreshadowing
