[burnt tree]

when i craft i get like 320 only

[vocal nacelle]

You upgrade it

[burnt tree]

ah

[signal flare]

When you reach lv 30 on a char most weapons will be about 380

[vocal nacelle]

You need to level up the weapon first (mastery)
And upgrade the base stat

[burnt tree]

ok

[signal flare]

Things bought from melk will be 500

And as said with mastery you can upgrade to 500

[solemn palm]

Hello, I am trying to understand how cleave works on the Heavy Eviscerator. The weapon I'm currently using has Cleave as it's dump stat, and I thought it was fine to use Rev It Up and Savage Sweep as my blessings. My hope is that this would allow me to continue locking down a wide area even if a carapace enemy enters my killzone. But I've also read that the HE has limited cleave capabilities beyond 4 targets. Not sure exactly how to tell where the breakpoint is, or if swapping my dump stat to mobility would actually enable me to swing through carapace enemies without worrying about needing a blessing slot to accomplish that

[smoky ember]

on light attacks, both eviscerators are damage capped to 4 targets, meaning they will damage the first 4 enemies, and then deal no damage (but still stagger) enemies beyond that. this number isn’t effected by cleave at all, and is hard coded. The mk15 evis on a revved light is capped at 6.

carapace is coded innately to stop cleave on all weapons

except with the blessing perfect strike, sunder, and one other i cant remember

if you want a build that can cleave through carapace, i can give you one

[solemn palm]

Thanks! Great explanation. I have a crit zealot I'm using this on, and now understand why folks suggest perfect strike + shred

[smoky ember]

yeah of course

do you want one of my evis builds?

[solemn palm]

I would love to take a look

[smoky ember]

this can be changed a bit to crit less but take IJ for more damage and attack speed

[dapper shard]

Probably Unstoppable Force on Ogryn cleavers

[smoky ember]

yes that

thank you

[smoky ember]

like this, and drop either second chastise charge, faithful frenzy, or enduring faith

for inebriates poise on IJ

[solemn palm]

nice, practically my exact build except I'm taking the stun grenade route

[smoky ember]

second wind is one of the best toughness generation talents in the game, and throwing knives are very fun (and pretty good if you’re taking bolter or flamer),

which is why i take that path

[burnt tree]

bolt pistol or revolver?

on zealot

i been runnin revolver lately

but got a nice bolt pistol

[stone flint]

im partial to the bolt

whats the rundown on Maniacs, and what enemies are maniacs?

[zealous dome]

They are kinda sidegrades to each other
So pick what you prefer

[zealous dome]

Dreg Rager
Mutant
Both Flamers
Trapper

[stone flint]

and they take less from heavy attacks and more from light? or something like that? do ranged weapons have any change onthem?

[warm linden]

Does anyone elses game look like murky shit? Even on High graphics settings

[smoky ember]

if you have frame generation on, turn up sharpness

[lusty flint]

whats the video setting i need to turn down to make purge staff in close range not vomit lens flare

[smoky ember]

https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/157

idk about a particular setting

but this mod can help

[austere atlas]

I have a question. For the Auric Storm Survivor, do the missions have to be back-to-back?

[pearl valley]

Does anyone have a build that would be good to actually learn how to palay the game?

I like to think that I am fairly average at DT but I would like to improve

[vocal nacelle]

Nope you can slip in normal damnation

[olive vale]

which one should I geet for now

Infantry Lasgun
Braced Autogun
Vigilant Autogun'

[austere atlas]

Thank you

[olive vale]

Guys?

[vocal nacelle]

Just try everything first if you are new

[olive vale]

btw whats the rotation on the aquila shopp

[vocal nacelle]

Per 2 weeks

[olive vale]

ok

thank you'

[full stone]

Hello is there a resource to see recommended dump stats for each weapon?

[vocal nacelle]

ask class channel, for ogryn its on the ogrynomicon

[remote pivot]

Anyone else getting "failed to decompress" error?

Game ran fine until today, verified files, still getting the error

[coral violet]

https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/371?tab=description this one straight up deletes the vfx

[smoky ember]

each class except zealot has a guide in pins, but you can also just ask in chat and usually someone will answer

[burnt tree]

is shock maul any good for zealot?

[smoky ember]

shock maul is solid on all classes

it does everything decently well except boss kill

[cloud adder]

regarding shock maul:
increases ranged stagger strength

What is this ranged doing on a shock maul?

[smoky ember]

it’s because falter was originally on las guns

but, it should apply to your melee stagger

[cloud adder]

On Damnation Threat or higher
What is higher than Damnation Threat?
Or is it just left over from the previous penances and just lazy copy and paste?

[cloud adder]

Hmm, should, but if they where that "lazy" on moving the skill, maybe they forgot to change the skill from ranged stagger, to melee?

[smoky ember]

shrug

i don’t know

[smoky ember]

auric damnation

[smoky ember]

there are other examples of things saying ranged but applying to melee, so it most likely does

[cloud adder]

Auric Damnation is different, from Standart Damnation?
What is the difference between auric and standart?

[cloud adder]

Ok, will testrun and see, thanks!

[smoky ember]

higher tension modifier

auric will innately spawn more enemies, denser hordes, more elites, more specials, higher boss spawn chance

etc

[cloud adder]

So, auric is a good place to work on the penances, because of the higher amount of enemies?

[smoky ember]

kinda

well, yeah

if u can handle aurics yeah

[cloud adder]

excellent, thanks!

[pale marsh]

devil's claw, dump stat is mobility? or cleave targets???

[tawdry oxide]

I just did smelter with the sniper gauntlet/fog modifier and couldn't see ANYTHING but orange clouds

is there a setting for this?

I know it's supposed to be hard to see... but I was playing blindfolded

[smoky ember]

mobility

[cloud adder]

Someone speaks tec-priest? I guess the skill still works?!

[zealous dome]

Applies 8 stacks of Brittleness with fully charged shots

Pretty underwhelming if you're not using the fast one

[lime idol]

tooltip is bugged, refer to kuli's or my guide on what it does

[lime idol]

not exactly true

[sterile valve]

ok am I crazy or does the first part of run n gun just not work

I tried it on my maxed out bolt pistol and the heaviest other weapon I own, the spearhead boltgun and in both cases if I input a fire command while sprinting, my reject stops sprinting, raises the gun and fires.

with the same delay

[lime idol]

boltgun does not have run&gun

[sterile valve]

bolt pistol does

[lime idol]

can u record

[sterile valve]

I tested one with it and one without it side by side

[sterile valve]

not really tbh. id have to download and set up obs and it would be a massive pain

[lime idol]

do u have nvidia overlay

or anything similar

[sterile valve]

nope

[lime idol]

ok I'll record

[sterile valve]

yeah I'd like to see whats theoretically suppsoed to happen

also the second part "+ damage while sprinting" since I just tested it. 869 damage on an armoured berserker shot to the head whether I pressed fire while sprinting or not

and since the bastard survives a headshot I know it wasn't just because the extra damage was overkill

[sterile valve]

that... is straight up not happening

for me I mean

[lime idol]

are u sure u put run&gun on ur boltpistol

[sterile valve]

like you see at the end how the fov changes a bit, it happens in most games that have sprinting. for me it goes back to normal before the shot comes out

[sterile valve]

wait... do I have

all blessings aren't active huh

[lime idol]

just because u unlocked its mastery doesn't mean u put it on ur gun

[sterile valve]

yup there we go.

I thought the way the game worked is those were active and the ones you put on at the mechanicus were doubled up

[lime idol]

u need to put it on the gun for it to work
u can only put 2

[sterile valve]

ok there we go

[lime idol]

no, unlocked blessings are only there as optional add-on
u have to apply them to ur weapon (2 perks & 2 blessings) for them to take effect

[sterile valve]

sweet that explains it ty

[spice shadow]

imagine if it applied everything lmao

Psword with Slaughterer, brutal momentum, Sunder, and Pcycler :p

[sterile valve]

yeah thats what I thought

I can see why thats silly now but earnestly thats what I thought

[oblique compass]

Sorry to bother you, but I need a little advice. To complete the penance of eliminating 40 enemies in 10 seconds stunned ny the stun granade; with the Zealot, what weapons, perks and tactics would you recommend? Thanks so much in advance.

[delicate crescent]

is this a bug or something caused by mods?

[smoky ember]

flamer or heavy sword

i can help you with it if you’d like

i’ll be home in 10

[smoky ember]

bug

apparently switching the mark or weapon or something fixes it, but i’m unsure

[pulsar acorn]

is anyone having fps drops problems with the last update?

[oblique compass]

Thank you for the thought, but I managed to do it simply by writing in the in-game chat if they could help me and they were very helpful. The community for this game is amazing.

[modern rock]

Yes, i had to turn off a bunch of graphics things that got flipped on

Does higher difficulty affect items? Like is there less ammo as you increase difficulty?

[vocal nacelle]

yes

unless 4 people running recon, there's plenty ammo even in auric

[modern rock]

Lots of ammo even in highest difficulty? I find that kind of disappointing. Im trying to run ogryn tank and its kinda boring when like 80% of enemies just die from gunfire before i get close

[vocal nacelle]

there's a lot of ammo its not enough

director can throw 20 rager at you and you will ran out after 1 horde event

[zealous dome]

Tank Ogryn when 15 Ragers and 18 Maulers show up

[pulsar acorn]

Damm seems like screen mode fuck performance for some of us

[smoky ember]

hell yeah

[smoky ember]

sometimes you’ll have teammates running OP builds, like gunlugger, plasma vet, vraks IAG, psyker m1, etc. and it just feels bad to play with

just an unfortunate reality of playing darktide

[smoky ember]

i watched a gunlugger out of ammo with a pickaxe almost die to one scab rager and a single bruiser

[placid wharf]

anyone know what the sprint stats while holding a grenade is?

edit: gonna guess it's plain 1.00 and 1.00 cost?

[rare wolf]

I love how this conveniently all classes but zealot xD

[smoky ember]

dueling sword/knife flamer/revolver zealots are also bad

it’s why i said etc.

there are more builds that just suck to play with on ur team

[prisma pilot]

hi, sometimes my CIAG has a nearly-instant reload
like, i press reload, it skips the magazine swap animation and everything and my character just racks the bolt and my magazine refills
i'm not sure what causes this, would anyone know/has anyone else experienced this?
(also how do i replicate it it's great)

[woeful root]

people in vet chat have been talking about it

exploits, path, I think

[smoky ember]

yeah that happens sometimes

i think it’s caused by a weird animation cancel related to sprinting and switching

but as far as i know, you can’t really replicate it with any consistency

[prisma pilot]

hmm okay well
at least it's not just me hallucinating then thank you

[strange comet]

is there a specific reason to do Auric Maelstrom over normal Damnation Quick play missions?

[sinful summit]

normal/auric maelstroms are for more dockets, penances, and just flat out fun

[smoky ember]

u didn’t respond to my pings from before

[signal gate]

More dockets, some penances, and it’s fun

[granite ingot]

not sure if i couldnt find the faq but should i wait to a specific weapon power level to start consecrating a weapon?

[stoic locust]

Not really

That used to kind of matter but now you just want a good base

[granite ingot]

Also do you still gain weapon power by buying the highest in the requisition

[stoic locust]

Changing all perks/blessings is like 10-15k dockets

[granite ingot]

so a good base to avoid having to change all the perks completely right

[stoic locust]

Not really

[signal gate]

No

Just what mod scores

[stoic locust]

You make like 30k a mission

[signal gate]

Perks can be changed, blessings can be changed

Mod scores are stuck with their potential so you want one that has 80 in your damage relevant stats and 60 in dump stats like mobility or collateral or defenses

[granite ingot]

ok ty

[granite ingot]

and is this still a thing or not anymore

havent played in a while

[signal gate]

Oh this was never true

That was only vt2 and people were assuming incorrectly

[granite ingot]

Ah ye I’m from vt2

[stoic locust]

Reminder that BCR sucks in DT

[granite ingot]

How do you increase it then?

[vocal nacelle]

Weapon mastery/xp

[granite ingot]

How does character level affect it? Should I be waiting til 30 if I’m close to do anything

Thanks

[vocal nacelle]

It's a different thing

I think only melk shop that got affected by character level

[dense gale]

Can anyone suggest a fix for the glitch where you become unable to move due to staggering from damage

like if I get a toe in fire I cant dodge or walk at all

my character just flinches in place

or rubberbands

[vocal nacelle]

Is it a glitch

you get stunned everytime your toughness break so if you regen toughness inside fire funny thing happen

[stoic locust]

Thy Wrath Be Swift (zealot talent)

[wispy ivy]

Anyone having "can't connect to your buddy" things?

[strange comet]

Alright it was fun guys, time for my weekly break of Darktide after randomly crashing mid-run. Ty for all your help boiz. May the emperor walk with you.

[granite ingot]

is + experience on curios useless after 30

[little coyote]

pretty much

you can apply a mod that will show your total level which counts levels after 30 but there's no actual use for it

[halcyon timber]

I think that's what I need.

I love the gameplay in Darktide, I just need an arbitrary reason to keep playing it. If funny number go up, it would help a lot.

I wonder what other QoL mods I should look into. Hmm.

[little coyote]

NumericUI is very nice

the level mod is called TrueLevel

I also like the scoreboard mod

custom hud too so I can move the buff icons closer to the crosshair

[raw smelt]

Can i get max roll Curios from Melk mystery box ?

[smoky ember]

yes but its rare

[scenic field]

Is the recon lasgun bugged? I can't change the mark at all. I have them all unlocked and after I set the mark to something other than default, it doesn't actually change.

[smoky ember]

are you clicking equip?

if you are, then try restarting your game or verifying your files

[scenic field]

I've tried eqiuped and unequipped

[coral violet]

its at the right bottom of the screen in the mark menu

you have to choose a mark then press a big EQUIP

[scenic field]

I am offended that you would think I wouldn't click equip. All my other weapons can swap marks without any issues.

I had the same issue yesterday. I will try verifying my files.

[coral violet]

you didnt 100% foolproof the message so i just assumed the worst

[smoky ember]

to be fair, i made the same mistake a few times too lol

[coral violet]

works on 2/3 of my charachters, will try on zealot in a minute

[smoky ember]

it’s like troubleshooting, always make sure it’s not the most obvious and easy solution first

[coral violet]

works on zealot too. is that a universal problem across all your recons or just one? try a new profane

[scenic field]

Here's the thing, I don't use the recon lasgun at all. I don't really like it. But I had an idea for a build and recon lasgun would be perfect. So this is my only one, and it's been probably a year or longer since I used it last.

I got it yesterday.

[coral violet]

try a new blank anyway unless you're hurting for ordos

[scenic field]

Apparently, only that lasgun is broken. I verified files, that didn't fix it. But a new recon lasgun works fine.

[smoky ember]

weird

[cerulean wharf]

On the new patch, how do I buy specific type of gun? I just came back from the game and the gun shop has reduced to 1 model of gun per type

for example, las recon gun Mk6D, where do I get it?

the shop sell Mk12

[untold rampart]

Brunt's armoury let's you buy any at grey

[scenic field]

The weapon overhaul happened and now there is a tab where your loadouts are called masteries. Depending on how many blessings you had previously, you have an amount of points per family of guns and you unlock your blessings and marks of weapons through that. You can change any weapon to any other weapon that are in teh same family.

[untold rampart]

Then once you get the mastery as Wet said you can change it to any mark

[scenic field]

It can be a little overwhelming, but it's all there. Nothing is gone.

[untold rampart]

Except the vet and psyker talent trees

Cos they got updated

So you'll need to redo those

[cerulean wharf]

ok

[thick dust]

Man I just died right at the end of an assassination mission after we already killed the boss and it removed my streak for Auric Storm Survivor

I was at 3 out of 5

[smoky ember]

lmfao

rip

[spiral forge]

what weapons ı can get very early that are good?

[mint knot]

melee - devils claw
range - infantry lasgun/recon lasgun

[spiral forge]

are lasguns that much better than the normal guns? ı don't know the name for the regular bullet weapons

[untold rampart]

I've found that braced autoguns are pretty decent, though I forget when you unlock them

[spiral forge]

that's nice to hear

considering ı absolutely hate lasguns

they feel wrong ı don't know why

veteran starts with one on the intro and ı hated it so much

[smoky ember]

in lore, typical, modern style projectile firing guns are usually referred to as stub guns

or you can call them autoguns

[wanton birch]

is Resupply Allies/Scavenger bugged? it only seems to proc on my kills, not my allies

[nova viper]

Do burn/bleed/soulblaze affect by perks?

[plain pond]

What’s the best way to deal with ragers?

Apart from ranged

[smoky ember]

yes

it depends on which weapon you have equipped

but yes

[smoky ember]

dclaw

or if you’re ogryn, push

other than that nothing really

[mint knot]

1. Devils Claw counterattack
2. Chain weapons charged attack
3. Mauls/Hammers special attack
4. Throwing grenade under your feet and going full block
5. Getting good, memorizing their attack patterns and killing them in these time windows

Aggroing them all to yourself, going full block+dodge, so your teammates can safely shoot them in the backs also works

But make sure they are ready to support you right after your initiation, because sometimes i get clowns who do anything except providing support fire to me

[lime idol]

This is not really true, chain-weapons, shock mauls & thunder hammers aren’t good at dealing with multiple ragers (especially not thunder hammers)

Thunder hammers cannot 1 hit break rager combo without grievous wounds or using empowered attacks (which also self-stun and only hit 1 rager)

[mint knot]

Playing 4-5 difficulty, didn't have problems with these

[lime idol]

If you have creature spawner mod you can try to fight multiple ragers with thunder hammer, the lack of stagger option becomes really apparent

[mint knot]

Horizontal smashes seems to stagger them

[lime idol]

On zealot I’d recommend stuff like combat axe / crusher / DC sword / heavy sword / duelling sword for fighting ragers

[lime idol]

Not in 1 hit

Takes multiple hits to stagger

[mint knot]

I dunno, i should have been dead by multiple occasions then

[lime idol]

I’ll record

[mint knot]

Also, we don't know what kind of situation he was talking about

Like, complete alone vs 6 ragers or full team vs 2 ragers, but he took the aggro

[lime idol]

I’d assume anyone asking about “fighting ragers” is usually referring to 1-2 players vs multiple

[mint knot]

Gonna download creature spawner tomorrow

Did all the stuff i wrote above and it all work
And i am a melee enjoyer who always runs forward and takes all the aggro

[jagged copper]

Can i get some help with "Make every shot count"

[lime idol]

Crucis II without grievous wounds

with grievous wounds

Not sure why 2nd recording has higher brightness (?)

[autumn stratus]

Aside from range huh? Hmm and lets just say ability on CD. Usually a charged heavy can stun enough for one light so dodge then heavy then light. Theres some weapon specials that easily deal with them example: activation weapons most usually initiate a stun on them.

Oh a weak spot hit like a hit on their head works well after using shove and just keep holding attack button for the hit after shove its a 'free' hit then instantly dodge and follow the heavy light then repeat if you want. Hopefully though its only one or two..

[chilly warren]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2917274959

Someone told me about this yesterday and its anything and everything you could wanna know about payker

[smoky ember]

what r u saying lol

this is not good advice

this will get you killed against more than 1 rager

[zealous dome]

Yeah it's pinned on #psyker-class

[autumn stratus]

Yeah. But also you don't do much aside from hope a teammate is near if you don't use range.

[chilly warren]

I usually shove ragers then stun with staff

[smoky ember]

dodge backwards, let them approach, attack as they start combo, dodge backwards

repeat

[chilly warren]

@zealous dome cool sry then im a new guy and im stoned lol i forgot to look there

[autumn stratus]

So minus range. Minus ability use thats what you get. Otherwise teamplay.

[smoky ember]

melee as they start combo

[autumn stratus]

Dunno its worked for me. Probably just lucky hah

[smoky ember]

what difficulty do you play on?

because against more than 1 rager, which is what you’ll face on auric damnation, trying to dodge a ragers combo consistently will make you take damage

[chilly warren]

@smoky ember yeah thats best option def don't wanna try n slug it out with more than one they'll smoke ya quick

[autumn stratus]

Alone T3 (bumping to 4) otherwise T5 unless and yes I've had well over 6 ragers before.

[lime idol]

Ok that makes sense

[autumn stratus]

But I've also used resources against them. So uh..

[smoky ember]

i genuinely do not mean any disrespect but unless you play damnation/auric damnation, if you give advice that you tout as “works for me”, please clarify that you referring to lower difficulties

[autumn stratus]

Often enough I end up doing fine. But ive yet to see auric.

[autumn stratus]

I shall toot my horn :)) and if it continues to work I shall continue using it.

[chilly warren]

Played my first auric a few days ago nothing could've prepared me for the shit storm of ragers coming at me

[smoky ember]

you can use whatever you want, but giving bad advice is what irks me and many others here

[autumn stratus]

And so far its worked at 6+ ragers. So eh

[chilly warren]

@autumn stratus what clasz you play?

[smoky ember]

ogryn is the only class who pushes will work against ragers

or psyker force swords

the human classes have to avoid their combos

[autumn stratus]

I've played all of them. And have had no difficulty.

[chilly warren]

Yeah im psyker works with crushers tooooo if you can position correctly

[smoky ember]

push attack can open bulwarks too

on FS

[autumn stratus]

Thats good to know

[vocal nacelle]

Nobody expects 20 rager

[lime idol]

Do u play on pc or console

[autumn stratus]

Most I've faced so far is.. 8 or 10. Uh well I can't wait to hit 30 and play with friends on an auric.

[lime idol]

U could try creature spawner if you’re on pc, see how many ragers u can fight at once alone

[autumn stratus]

From what I've read there's no difference. But PC

[lime idol]

this is 3 ragers

[autumn stratus]

Ah I forgot that was a thing. I should make a Nexus acc ig bleh

[autumn stratus]

Seems about right

[lime idol]

see how many u can fight at once without losing health, using ability, blitz or ranged weapon

[autumn stratus]

I shall when I get around to making a Acc on Nexus..

[subtle frigate]

is there any weapons in the game that are outright bad?

[rigid wasp]

Shredder autopistol is one I'd avoid like the plague

[vocal nacelle]

krourk stubber

[vapid dew]

What has been said, dclaw 1, tactical axe 7, obscurus force sword, the non folding ogryn shovel

[finite wind]

I am level 25 at the moment, what would qualify a weapon as something I should start maxing? Or do I need to be a higher level before I can get higher weapon rolls

[subtle frigate]

i'm trying to figure out what the laspistol is good for

[vapid dew]

I wouldn’t bother touching crafting until level 30

Killing specials, depending on class extreme boss dps

Oh and mogging gunners + beast of nurgles

[finite wind]

Gotcha, I just wanted to make my wep stronger so I can do heresy for more xp

[subtle frigate]

I am not an expert but right now i just chose 2 weapons to maintain for my leveling so i have a 500 weapon for both slots by level 30

but i chose those weapons when i started this 3rd character

[subtle frigate]

I see, mabye my perception of it was messed up as it's the starting weapon

one of*

[finite wind]

Gotcha, I heard its a bit of a waste using resources on a wep that you aren't going to be using late game

and one last question, are QOL mods able to be used in online play, or will it disable xp etc

[subtle frigate]

you will have time to level up weapons when you are level 30 and can more easily grind for recourses.
from my experince it's nice to have an off meta weapon that does some damage rather than a on meta weapon that is around item level 200 and act more like a suggestion to the hoards you will fight.

also commodore's vouchers exist and you can pick up on level gear from him if you want to level up that weapon class

[finite wind]

That makes sense, cheers

[vocal nacelle]

most mod is client only, you still get xp unless you play using solo mod

[subtle frigate]

question.
I feels like to me when i do quickplay that i always get the same few missions.
but looking at my penances there is a few i haven't done once.
why is that?

[floral sparrow]

What exactly are you supposed to do in this game? I am a bit confused as after 20 hours I have done each mission type. What am I supposed to be working towards ?

[subtle frigate]

there is two common things.
1- items
The more you do content the more mastery levels you get and the more you can expand your build and get more stuff.
2- mastery
as in people like getting better at the game and doing harder and harder content.

[floral sparrow]

I already have the revolver and the other weapons are a bit eh. Is the harder content any different ?

[candid gyro]

the harder diff stuff along with the build diveristy is the reason a lot of people log 1k hrs+

[gloomy roost]

Hey guys! I start my game and get all the way to the after class selection screen but get stuck in that loading screen it seems to load on and on. I cant seem to get to the ship! Any help? Is there something causing the game not to load all the way? I've tried validating game files but that didnt work! Thanks!

[floral sparrow]

I tried difficulty level 3, it is somehow easier. Maybe the others are somewhat more competent. I guess I will try 4 next

Is there a way to not join games in progress with bad latency ? Sometimes I will join one, notice the ping is terrible and then leave

[rigid wasp]

The game should default to the region with the lowest ping, but you can switch regions by going to the mission board and hitting... I think it's E

The game has that little thing where it gets easier if you have decent people on your team

Sometimes damnation can be easier than heresy because you might end up not stuck with 3 glue-sniffers

[candid gyro]

difficulty 4 is one of the steps that steps the difficulty up noticeably compared to 3, and difficulty 5 isnt much beyond 4, but auric and auric malestroms are where the game comes into its own, in that it generally presents you much larger hordes, and larger groups of specials/elites.

In non-auric missions if the ai director notices the party is struggling it'll pump the breaks and ease up on spawning stuff to give them a breather generally, auric doesn't have a limit to that degree, so if you just had 2 die and the other 2 are low on health the director won't care when it dumps 12 ragers, 10 specials, and a horde at them after they just got done clearing the last fight.

[floral sparrow]

Difficulty 4 is definitely lot harder to complete as you seem to get dumped back into the hub for no particular reason

[craggy terrace]

I'm looking at returning to the game, I quit a few months after release because I was not happy with the crafting system so with its rework I have some questions.
How much of it is a still a gambling casino for good weapons?
Can you make any weapon good now by sacrificing weapons to it, or do you still have to fish for a weapon with the right stat spreads?
Can you freely and without much hassle swap perks and blessings around or are there still restrictions other than unlocking/upgrading them?
How long at, max difficulty, would it take to make "good" weapons for different builds now?
What are the biggest hurdles to making multiple "good" weapons?

Essentially, I don't mind grinding towards a goal, but I don't like the RNG nature it had back then and how obnoxious it was to make weapons for different builds. Especially since it was waiting on shop resets or hoping for god rolls from mission rewards.

[floral sparrow]

So far I am yet to find a weapon that actually does anything and I just use psyker abilities exclusively

[candid gyro]

only RNG that really remains is weapon base stats, which even then is still much less painful to get since you're basically just fishing for a dump stat and weapons tend toward a single dump stat anyway. Swapping perks and blessings can be be done freely (aside from the like 2-4k credit cost), weapon mark can be swapped in the same weapon category for free. Mats are easier to come by cause selling junk weapons now gives mats based of their rarity level.

[cloud adder]

how close can you sneak past the dämonhostes?
Would red path be possible? (befor testing, someone shot her and usually they are not that in the way, to block the only road forward)

[craggy terrace]

Is it still all about waiting on shop resets or how do you fish for the correct stat distributions now?

I don't know if I had resources pooled up or not before I quit. Assuming I have none when I log back in. What should I try to do to more efficiently build up my resources? Sacrifice weapons I'm interested in and sell weapons I'm not for resources? Or are there other things to do?

[storm stirrup]

Also, if you want less of a headache crafting a higher teir wep with maxed stats, fish for blue greens that are 350+ from the vendor

[candid gyro]

you can check armoury and melks for assured stat rolls but every weapon can be upgraded to max 380 stats now, and you can see what the stat caps will be before you invest resources into the weapon so if you see nothing that fits, you rng at brunts for your dump stat, in practice this usually takes me like less than 10-20 rolls

to the second run the highest difficulty you can clear at, ideally damnation, there's also 4 heretic icons that look like glowing green skull triangle totems strewn about the map, usually within every quarter section that're worth plasteel, in addition you get a weapon for completion that can be sold for mats/dockets so you can build up resource pools somewhat quickly. If you're swimming in dockets/melk money you can use those to buy weapons as mat/mastery fodder

[storm stirrup]

also limited time weapons are also decent but are most likely going to be "average" from melk

its possible to do auric with lvl 300 weapons but it feels like booty to do so

[craggy terrace]

Yeah back when I played I was able to do what was the hardest content at the time with white weapons, I was mostly burned out on not being able to make fun or meme builds easily to try different playstyles.

[storm stirrup]

very easy to mix and match now. blessings are autodockets and so is refining perks

las burn swapping to las crit etc etc is like a game to swap back and forth 5-6 times

[finite wind]

I have found a wep with 80% cap for all 4 main stats and 61% for the dump stat, the dump stat however is starting at 15%. Is it still a good idea to make this my craft wep?

[vocal nacelle]

Yes

[finite wind]

Does it work where my other stats will hit cap and then my upgrading will then just be for the dump stat?

[vocal nacelle]

Yes the lowest stat will be the last one to get maxed

[mint knot]

first 4 difficulties are pretty doable even with random weapons from Servitor's shop
just get good

this will reward you with plenty of resources when you find truly good weapon

[finite wind]

The funny part is I did find the weapon about 30 mins ago haha

[mint knot]

ye, a little bit of luck also helps

good to have a god-roll from the start

the paradox is: newbies don't know what a god-roll is

[mint knot]

finally installed creature spawner
testing weapons on ragers now

[finite wind]

Is 4 80's with the dump stat at 61 decent?

[mint knot]

this is a god-roll if dump stat is right

[finite wind]

Oh lol, then I did indeed get a god roll

combat knife with mobility dump

[mint knot]

if you are range weapon enjoyer - it's ur god roll

if you are melee enjoyer - shit roll

[finite wind]

Ye, playing zealot though

[mint knot]

isn't zealot mostly a melee class?

[finite wind]

tis, sad

the difference between 60 and 80 is .1 for speed

[mint knot]

it's not about speed

it's about dodge count

mobility is a parameter which does nothing for you when you have ur teammates to cover you
but is saves your ass when you are alone and your 3 clowns are hoping you will clutch this

so, if you usually don't find yourself as the last one standing, that knife is pretty much good for you

[finite wind]

Sweet, hope my teammates don't all go down... understood 😄

[mint knot]

Ok, returning to my Rager research.
We will take for granted that straight hands can kill 20 ragers with shittiest weapon possible, so our aim will be to detect the most effective way to deal with ragers while using as few brain cells as we can

1. Thunder hammer is ok vs 2 ragers at max if you chain fast-charged attacks well. You will be able to chain hit them before they come into senses.
2. Crusher maul is ok vs 3 ragers since its power attack charges faster + stuns 1 nearby rager too. So if u don't fck up ur first attack timing, you will be able to crowd control all 3 ragers.
3. Tactical axe's agility allows u to deal with 2-3 ragers if you dance around them good enough + special attack stuns them well.
4. Devils Claw is OP, just spam parry
5. Dueling sword is surprisingly good for duels! Who could know? Just poke ragers with special attack and finish them with good ol' reliable charged headshot
6. Heavy sword's special also allows you to control ragers, but it's so slow that if u have any more enemies aside from ragers - you are cooked
7. If you have Shovel, your best bet is to almost instakill one of ragers with charged attack+fast attack combo and then hope for the best
8. Power maul and power sword have good cleave even on light attacks so you can try to bleed whole group to death if u know ragers' attack pattern well

9. i am still shit with a knife so i dunno

[little dagger]

Hey can anyone help me with the behind enemy lines penace I only need to get 16 more kills

[smoky ember]

thammer with grievous wounds can stagger ragers with heavy attacks,

crushed with empowered attacks, and push attacks, can stagger ragers, making it very good for ragers

taxe heavy attack and push attacks can stagger ragers, making it very good for smaller rager packs

dclaw is NOT op, but it is good against ragers

dueling sword is correct, on weakspot hit the special will force stagger an enemy, including ragers out of combo

hsword with brutal momentum can kill 4 ragers in a swing

[craggy terrace]

How do you sell weapons for materials?

[royal epoch]

So whenever i go in a mission it eqiups my ripper gun as ogryn even tho i eqiped the lorenz mk VI lke i triple check before we start and it still gets eqqipied i only have 1 loadout and this just started happaning.Is this a bug or am i missing something>

[zealous dome]

God roll when maxed

[smoky ember]

click discard in your inventory, and then you can select all of the weapons you want to sell

[frail snow]

what is the difference between wounds and health?

[mint knot]

i was talking solely in ragers context
so Devils Claw is OP

[smoky ember]

ah, yeah

[smoky ember]

wounds are how many times you can go down, represented by the segments in your health bar

health is just your raw HP number

[silk spoke]

So i have seen this already for a while now. But wtf does this actually mean xD
Like they come in different lenghts

[smoky ember]

pretty sure that means what difficulty you’ve completed that mission on before

[storm glen]

Whats the highest item rating for white items?

[smoky ember]

technically 500, as you can empower a white item to max

[storm glen]

What about from brunts?

[signal gate]

Dodge count doesn’t change on 60 for any weapon

[mint knot]

u mean from 60 to 80?

[zealous dome]

Max dodges at 51 iirc

[royal epoch]

Whenever i play ogryn and load into a mission it forces me to use the ripper gun even if i chose a difrant one in the menu.How do i fix this

[silk spoke]

but why does it have different lenghts? is it like how many times you have completed that specific mission?

[smoky ember]

difficultly

each chevron represents difficulty

[mint knot]

https://tenor.com/view/spy-tf2-tf2spy-spytf2-gif-19270816

[dense tulip]

"they come in different lengths"

that's what she said

[silk spoke]

I thought the different stars represent difficulty or like thats how i call them, Malice Damnation Herasy etc

Cause even Sedation can have very big lenghts

[void forge]

the skulls on top are the difficulty of the mission

the pic you posted are what the highest difficulty of that mission you have completed

for instance the icon you have posted indicates you have completed that particular mission on damnation

[pallid igloo]

im confused on this true level is that a mod to be able to see that

[void forge]

yes its a mod

[pallid igloo]

what would even affect true level the weapons only go to 500 dont they sorry i jus picked this up a couple weeks ago jus tryin to understand the endgame a little better

didnt even know this gem existed

[void forge]

what? do you mean the stat range that weapons have? true level the mod refers to a mod that displays experience gained after level 30 as extra character levels

[pallid igloo]

ah ok so it jus keeps count of all the levels uve technically gainned since 30 gotcha that makes sense

[void forge]

yep

the game has a lot of useful and cool mods, if you are interested there is a modding discord

[pallid igloo]

possible to mod game pass version or only steam

[void forge]

you can mod gamepass version

just not xbox ofc

[pallid igloo]

cool thank you

[subtle frigate]

I don't know where to ask but what are some of the better options to get on the heavy las pistol?

[smoky ember]

ghost, dumdum, desperado

[subtle frigate]

got it thanks

also i mostly just play quickplay missions but it feels like I keep getting these missions.
if i go look at the other mission types i have only done 10-15 of each for whatever reason.
does anyone know why?

[smoky ember]

data interrogations are when you put down the servo skull for the hacking minigame

and those are on almost every map

maybe every map idk

[subtle frigate]

i see

do poeple play the special missions?

[limber thicket]

I understand correctly that coherency toughness regen is only broken when hit in melee?

(excerpt from the ogrynomycon)

[lime idol]

This excerpt is not really accurate

Toughness regeneration (coherency-source) is inactive when engaged in melee combat (being targeted by any melee unit that’s occupying a slot)

It only matters if you’re stuck in a prolonged shootout and you can get at least 1 guy to buddy stick you the entire time

[limber thicket]

oh, so you mean wrong in the sense that it's not a useful as described, i see

[lime idol]

It’s usually not that great

It can feel good for ogryn because as an ogryn your worst possible fight is being stuck in a shootout

[limber thicket]

ye, my concern for now is ogryn

[lime idol]

But in most scenarios you want to get out of that situation as fast as possible

Ogrynomicon is also wrong in the excerpt about sprint efficiency

[limber thicket]

are there hard numbers on how fast toughness regens in coherency? I know it's a flat number, but nothing concrete beyond that

[lime idol]

Yes
Alone: 0/s
2 coherency: 3.75/s
3 coherency: 5.625/s
Max: 7.5/s

This is the same value for all 4 classes

[limber thicket]

thanks, exactly what I needed to know

[lime idol]

So assuming you build for toughness on ogryn and end up with smth like 150 toughness

At full coherency, starting from 0 toughness, it’d take you 20s to regen back to full

With lynchpin and 3x toughness regeneration curio perks, that number goes down to 8.33s (max coherency)

Do be aware that this regen only really comes into play for a prolonged shootout where you don’t get the opportunity to gapclose

Usually you want to avoid this as much as possible

[limber thicket]

So decent for a gunlugger, no?

[lime idol]

Kind of?

U can try and see if u like it

[limber thicket]

especially with the talent for toughness regen while bracing

[lime idol]

It’s not that costly to swap curio perks

[lime idol]

That talent is toughness gain

Toughness regen and toughness gain are 2 separate things

[limber thicket]

yeah, I'd like to stack as much toughness regen as possible to see if it's decent

[lime idol]

I use “toughness gain” term in my guide for any toughness u get that’s not coherency source

Giving urself +% toughness regen curio perks has no effect on “toughness gain”

[limber thicket]

I know they are separate. The 5%\s from bracing doesn't get amplified by other talents and curios

but it adds up

[lime idol]

Ok good

You can try if u like it

U might

[limber thicket]

Yeah, bc melee ogryn I feel invincible. But ranged not so much

[lime idol]

U can also run stuff like inspiring barrage on ur stubber

To further improve toughness gain

All the power blessings are pretty weird for Gunlugger playstyle

[limber thicket]

Honestly, I find most blessings in general to be questionable

as a newbie

[lime idol]

Overwhelming fire only really matters for a few targets and can be inconsistent
Deathspitter doesn’t gain stacks from DOT kills so you may end up with very few stacks when using ability
Blaze away needs u to shoot like 13 shots to stack once and fades right after u stop magdumping

They’re all pretty meh for gunlugger’s case

[limber thicket]

anyway, thanks for the info

if only the game was less obscure with the numbers and meanings

[lime idol]

I have a lot of info abt such things in my guide

Just the “terminology & mechanics” section

Only 8 pages

[lime idol]

my guide is very easy to understand

[zealous dome]

Fortitude Fellowship giving ~1.8 when alone

[subtle frigate]

Where are the weapon combo routes?

[smoky ember]

depends on what weapon

there isn’t a full guide on weapon combos right now

there’s a couple, for example the crusher guide pinned in zealot chat

and the guide pinned in vet chat

both have combos

(i can’t remember if the ogrynomicon or psyker athenum have combos)

[subtle frigate]

Dclaw

[smoky ember]

use a mk7

heavy light for horde

light, heavy, light light repeat, or parry for single target

parry, then chastise before your attack lands to deal like 2.5k damage to a crusher

[subtle frigate]

Wow

So parry good?

[smoky ember]

with proper timing, duelist will proc

[subtle frigate]

Holy fuck

[smoky ember]

and you can one shot

this is epic_cole’s clip

[smoky ember]

very

for ragers

just spam parry

you’ll blend rager packs

[subtle frigate]

D claw seems very very good

[smoky ember]

the reason duelist procs is because chastise gives you dodge frames, so when cole uses chastise, it counts as dodging the lingering AoE that crushers have, activating duelist

allowing the one shot

without duelist, it’ll deal i think 2.5k damage

which is enough to finish off pretty quickly

[smoky ember]

it’s very fun

[subtle frigate]

I imagine

[smoky ember]

it’s not as OP as some of the other options, but it’s extremely fun

dclaw isn’t really OP at all tbh

[lime idol]

It has 2 major weaknesses

1. It’s really really really bad at cleaving flak enemies
2. Relying on parry for crusher packs is not a great idea

[smoky ember]

flak hordes with the dclaw were so rough

you’d hit like

3 of them

max

[lime idol]

No

It’s the fact that u go from like

300 damage

To 23 because it hit flak

[smoky ember]

lmfao

that too

[subtle frigate]

Should i put flak damage plus on it?

Or not bother

I suppose when i am done with leveling my las pistol i can put on a bolt pistol and to deal with the weakness of dclaw

[smoky ember]

flak elites

[smoky ember]

bolt pistol or bolter r good choices

[subtle frigate]

another question.
I have been doing heresy fairly okay for the most part but i have two problems with wanting to try out domination both related to my current computer's specs.
1- my computer can only run this game on low settings and it sometimes lowers the fps to almost unplayable when there is too much stuff on screen.
2- a strange recent issue i have been having is my s key sometimes stops working and i have to spam it until it starts to work again.
should i try domination anyway?

[smoky ember]

eh, doesn’t hurt to try

[subtle frigate]

invida 1050 ti btw

that's my gpu

oddly the weakest part of my rig as i have an i7 and like 16 gigs of ram

[vocal nacelle]

1. get a mod that disable screen effect and other effect so you can see stuff

[signal gate]

i think you will need to mod

[subtle frigate]

wooo

i did it

first dom run is good

[craggy terrace]

What is the Auric stuff and what are the benefits?

[copper parcel]

Auric Missions are Heresy or Damnation missions ||but I think the director is able to spawn more stuff in general, someone more knowledgeable correct me on this one|| that are guaranteed to be Hi Intensity, and thus have the dramatically increased Ordo Docket rewards for it. And then there's Auric Maelstrom, which are their own set of custom modifiers, e.g. enemies are randomly empowered, or when a specialist spawns sometimes a lesser HP monstrosity will spawn, or waves of mutants and poxbursters, etc

[vocal nacelle]

"fun" "challenging" "stressful" "sweaty" "relaxing" mission

you get more ordo's thats it

[subtle frigate]

Auric missions are to sooth the pro gamer inside you

[craggy terrace]

Perfect, before I a quit a long time ago one of the issues I had was that the highest difficulty and modifiers were too easy. So hopefully once I get used to the game again it'll be a fun take on the game.

[stark totem]

Hey guys! Quick question in regards to subtitles, what is the difference between “Subtitles” and “Secondary Subtitles”? I have played around with them but I can’t seem to notice a difference.
I thought subtitles was for the cutscenes and secondary subtitles was for gameplay

[sand sun]

I know nothing about mods for this game, since I was waiting for Sanctioned Mods. Now that I've given up hope for that, what are some must-have mods?

[vocal nacelle]

Most mods in nexus are sanctioned

[smoky ember]

numericUI, scoreboard/powerDI (or both)

a lot of the more popular mods

[sand sun]

Just check Nexus for the most downloaded Darktide mods? Makes sense

[halcyon timber]

Meow's + True Level

[smoky ember]

ah yes meow’s mod

i had an idea for a thunder hammer mod, similar to the currently existing “you should kys now” mod

but i can’t remember what the idea was

i talked 2 @leaden fjord about it but i doubt he remembers

[granite ingot]

for a recon lasgun is /80 potential for everything except for stability at /61 good or is stability more important than mobility

[smoky ember]

you want to dump collateral

collateral only affects stagger

stagger can be counterproductive for headshots on enemies

[halcyon timber]

That gave me an idea.

Imagine the thunder had recoil and you could use it like a pogo stick 🤔

Surrounded by crushers? Get on your thammer and smack the ground.

It's Halloween so we just need a witch's broom and it's perfect

[smoky ember]

lmfao

[finite wind]

what would be the dump stat for a stub revolver?

[little coyote]

Mobility maybe

that or reload speed

I'd go with half and half with those

[halcyon timber]

Really? Reload speed?

I feel like I spent 2 years reloading it even at 80.

Does it just not make that big of a difference between 60 and 80?

[little coyote]

There's a difference but not a large enough to justify the mobility dump imo

Hence I'd like to go half mobility half reload speed as dumps

[leaden fjord]

Mobility

Or reload speed

[gusty whale]

get ready for takeoff

[halcyon timber]

That makes sense. Hmm.

The thing is, what do you really gain with mobility? I don't really run around with the revolver out anyway. Usually it's for like 0.3s seconds to 1 tap something. It has gotten to the point where I'm questioning if surgical is even worth it

[little coyote]

Dodge distance and the number of effective dodges are pretty huge for my playstyle at least. Can't recall if the 70% mark will let you have an extra effective dodge compared to 60% but the distance is always nice

[round verge]

so this is nice, but maybe not as worthwhile because it maxes reload speed?

[little coyote]

It's nice enough, maxing out penetration is nicer though

[round verge]

What causes a transcendent weapon to read as having less than its maximum stats? Someone shared a picture of a lasgun with 71/80 mobility but it was transcendent.

Or maybe I don't understand what it means to have a weapon with 67/78 damage. Could this gun get to 78%? (Or is there a video or document explaining this?)

[cyan grove]

Any tips on getting the cliffhanger penance? I've tried the recommended spots but I just feel like I can't knock them all off at the same time

[smoky ember]

you want damage, one, and crit bonus all at 80

[little coyote]

force sword push them closer to the edge first, then scream

[smoky ember]

that’s the most important thing

[amber idol]

67 is the current damage, 78 is the max it can reach with crafting system.

[sweet robin]

Does Darktide have a setting that changes audio when you jump into a mission? When I’m in the mourning star my headphones sound normal but as soon as the loading screen starts for the dropship the sound changes

[round verge]

Someone on a different channel posted this. In this case, what needs to be done to max out the weapon?

I'm sorry for all the questions.

[amber idol]

if you want those specific rolls you need to find a weapon with that max stat spread, once you have the weapon with the stat spread you're looking for (starting and max stats are the only real RNG), bring it to Hadron and you can start increasing stats closer to max based on your current mastery level for that weapon.

you can also swap out perks/blessings at hadron and sacrifice weapons to increase your mastery faster. (Using the same weapon type is much more exp)

[little coyote]

A demonstration

[round verge]

I see

Thank you, I think what I was missing was the "empower" option in general and what it does.

[foggy cliff]

Any AMD user knows how many worker threads do I want on Ryzen 5 3600 6 Cores?

[harsh edge]

Are power and strength then same?

[dapper shard]

Yes in a sense, but Strength does not always stand for a single type of power-increasing properties.

[subtle frigate]

why are auto pistols bad?

[dapper shard]

Like the shredder autopistol?

• Bad spread that can't be reliably improved,
• lack of ADS for precision shooting,
• bad scaling with crits/weakspots,
• relatively bad ADMs against anything that isn't Maniac,

SAPistol is a worse Vraks Mk5 Infantry Autogun on basically every level that matters

[subtle frigate]

Do you think it should be buffed?
Mabye if while shooting you maintain your normal walking speed or it just gets a higher rof?

[dapper shard]

Making it so you retain mobility while shooting could be good.

Besides that, I think bracing SAP should come at a reasonably good spread decrease, so that things can be reasonably sniped at mid-range. Make it have better finesse scaling and ammo reserve (it's really odd to have a higher ammo reserve on 2/3 Infantry autoguns than on this thing, if I'm not mistaken).

then if further buffs would be needed, maybe adjust its ADMs or range falloff.

[subtle frigate]

Yeah,
Personally i really like braced over ads but the accuracy is really annoying to contend with.
I have been playing zelot with a las pistol and it's been so nice being able to hio fire snipe stuff after a dodge.

It would be neat if it had a perk that allowed you to spray and stun mobs for a moment so it has utility in controlling hordes

[craggy terrace]

What are the Scab and Dreg shooters called?

And which ones are the Stalkers?

Any known way to solve it (crashed because of it twice, report spoke about some Engine Access Denied)

[signal hearth]

heyo would anyone happen to know why you dont run riposte thrust on DS right now? to my 100hr brain it seems like the clear choice but lantern shows a lot of finesse builds with uncanny strike of all things on the "hit something max 3 times" sword

[smoky ember]

precog is better on non crit builds for this

https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/iKN6FeEK5_RxNvq1C?invite=cr-MSxDQk4sMjA0ODY2MDQ3LA

precog is consistent damage

riposte is chance based

the dueling sword already has a very high finesse modifier, so increasing it further is only beneficial

[signal hearth]

ohh big thanks

[limber thicket]

Is it bad if overkill damage is super high?
This is my friend on plasma veteran

[coral pewter]

What is like
The basic gameplay loop/how does one ‘grind’ in this game

[limber thicket]

you do missions(?)

i mean what else can you do

[manic pollen]

Play the hardest difficulty you can reliably complete using the weapons you want to level mastery for

[lime idol]

Overkill usually doesn’t matter
If you have to care, try not to have overkill exceed your actual damage

U can also just turn off overkill damage display in scoreboard, that’s what I did

Some weapons will just inherently have high overkill damage

Just because they’re optimized properly

[limber thicket]

thanks

hey slightly silly question, is there a way to damage myself in the meat grinder so I can get a feel for toughness talents and how much they restore. I'd do it in missions but then I'm kinda busy... you know trying not to die and aiming to keep watching my toughness

[stoic locust]

You need mods to do so

damn alright

anyone know what "enhanced blitz" on maelstrom means exactly? like stat-wise

alternatively you could manifest someone who completed the puzzle out of thin air and then repeatedly fail the damnation run after the teleport

giving you an uprising-like payout in 2 minutes tops

[timid holly]

I do not understand darktide vocabulary like that

[coral violet]

there is a hardmode puzzle that buffs the Twins and a couple of penances tied to that

also unlocks the teleport from the start straight into the boss fight

[timid holly]

oh

But i gotta be a higher level to queue for that level unfortunately

[coral violet]

private lobbies dont have that limitation

[timid holly]

oh

i see

[cloud adder]

Nothing for smite is dumb,...why

Isent it a Blitz too

[coral violet]

imagine even less peril gen smite

actual maelstrom

[gusty whale]

even so you would find it difficult to play with level 0 grey gear and no thp talents

[green rover]

smite is borderline free to cast so making it completely free as a part of "enhanced blitz" wouldn't be so bad really

if anything it'd be stronger if they make it do more damage instead or something

[cloud adder]

It's just odd that a Blitz just gets left out completely from something that enhances every other Blitz.
And strange that the game lacks details of their Descriptions, but that's an issue since Vermintide

Is there a mod like in vermintide, that displays the actual information for Talents?

[west blade]

Guys, any tips on how to do Frenzied Killer (3)?

[cloud adder]

auric has some good sized hordes, with a recon Lasgun or ogryn frag, could be done

[west blade]

Thanks, will try

[candid gyro]

I got mine hacking away at a spawn door that the team ignored

[buoyant ibex]

Is sprinting without stamina same speed as walking? It seems so...

[signal gate]

no

it's 10% slower than sprinting with stam but still faster than walking

[buoyant ibex]

Much obliged

[humble bramble]

If my settings don’t save when I reopen the game do I need to repair or is it a mod issue

[bronze anvil]

this is wrong. Zealot and Ogryn have a 0.75x depleted sprint modifier. And Vet and Psyker have a 0.5x depleted sprint modifier

[signal gate]

corrected thanks

[scenic field]

What is difference between power and strength on blessings? e.g., Decimator gives +% Power, Headtaker gives +% Strength. Unfortunately, the addition of "Strength" has made the system harder to understand for me.

[zealous dome]

Power and Strength are the same thing
It's just that FS forgot to update Decimator's tooltip

[scenic field]

Okay, I've seen people say otherwise. So, I wasn't sure.

[vagrant oak]

So whats the setting that gets you like the best performance , low graphics, 60 fps , for fsr 3.1 ? Is it quality, or performance? Has anyone checked? I could only truly find out by doing a random mission. But I don't want to screw over teammates, by standing around and messing with settings mid horde or something.

[tough vault]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but is there a pinned message or good resource anywhere for understanding weapon rolls? I was under the impression a weapons max was 80% but if I inspect a weapon that is for example 80%/80% for ammo reserves, the pop up on the side has a secondary ammo reserves range (in this case 18 - 45, mine is 35). How can I be "max" 80% but not a max roll

[smoky ember]

you cannot go above 80%

80% is the max you can reach

[sterile valve]

So I'm not a big fan of the duelist sword, how much worse is the tactical axe if I want something that can do single targets

[tough vault]

I understand that but if I inspect the weapon it has a range higher than my current weapon despite being an 80/80 roll, screenshot for example, ammo reserves are 35 on the right despite max being 40 and it being an 80/80 roll

[smoky ember]

the max stat displayed is 100%

but the max stat you can reach is 80%

[smoky ember]

tac axe is best with crit builds, as its got a very high finesse modifier

[tough vault]

okay, that makes sense for that, i dont know how 5 extra ammo reserves = 20% but ill just accept it and disregard

[smoky ember]

because 0% isnt 0 ammo

[smoky ember]

also depends on the class

i think tac axe is best on zealot

due to crit chance

compared to dueling sword its no contest, dueling sword is miles better

tac axe has better horde clear

but ds4 can one shot everything

[sterile valve]

feels bad. still ty

[tough vault]

i understand that, its more that 35-40 = 20% but 18-35 = 80%

[subtle frigate]

[small harness]

What are good blessings on shock maul for Scrier psykers?

[lime idol]

Skullcrusher + high voltage
Psyker has loads of tools for fighting ragers so u don’t necessarily have to take a blessing just for staggering ragers out of their combos

[small harness]

I wanted to try it out cus I wasn't sure how they interact with Smite lol.

electrocuted enemies go brrrr scrier psyker go bonk

[lime idol]

Smite can apply electrocution status for u

[small harness]

BET

Might not be scrier/smite tho

Actually hold up. Lemme cook...

[smoky ember]

shock maul applies electrocuted if the attack staggers the enemy

it’s only 1 stack, so it does 0 damage and no stun

but it will activate high voltage

[lime idol]

It needs both successful stagger and >0.6 ADM on the armor part struck

[smoky ember]

is that latter part ever going to affect anything

[lime idol]

Yes, carapace

[smoky ember]

isn’t carapace a 90% ADM?

[lime idol]

For certain attacks

[smoky ember]

and those attacks that are low won’t stagger carapace

[lime idol]

Oh well

Not sure abt the PA tho

[smoky ember]

oh and on special

forgot that part

[smoky ember]

i don’t even remember the PA lol

that true duo civi with the shock maul was the last time i have and probably ever will use the shock maul

it’s just so BORING

[lime idol]

I wish they were a little better in terms of stagger

[smoky ember]

thrust grevious wounds is not capable of staggering a crusher out of an overhead

i found that out in that civi

[lime idol]

I don’t like the fact that they have low dodge but still need to use a blessing (or run grievous wounds) to stagger ragers

That just doesn’t sit right with me

Also thunder hammers not being able to break rager combo without grievous wounds is uh

[smoky ember]

yeahh

dumb

does stagger decrease with cleave

[lime idol]

Yes

[smoky ember]

ok i figured

just wasn’t 100% certain

grievous wounds needs to be a little bit more stagger imo

[lime idol]

Also I cooked up a very weird thunder hammer build

[smoky ember]

enough to help evis reach rager stagger BP

[lime idol]

It’s actually a lot
I think the bigger concern is the zealot tree itself being messed up

[smoky ember]

also true

bring punishment back to 250% stagger

[smoky ember]

send

[lime idol]

Punishment 250% is cringe

[smoky ember]

it should be like 75 though

30% is useless

[lime idol]

I think it’s mostly for uninterruptible side effect

[smoky ember]

would be neat if TWBS wasn’t a must have

[lime idol]

Crucis II
Carapace + maniac
Headtaker + slaughterer

DB shotgun
Flak + maniac
Deathspitter + both barrels

[lime idol]

Uninterruptible is not the same effect as stun immunity

[smoky ember]

how

[lime idol]

Uninterruptible is like
You cannot get guard broken out of a revive when stamina is depleted

[smoky ember]

i’d swap good balance for purge the unclean solely for boss kill ngl

just for fun

but otherwise that’s just my standard TH build lol

[smoky ember]

oh, neat but still useless lol

[lime idol]

I’m not super sure about a 0% TDR build (besides benediction)

[smoky ember]

u have second wind

[lime idol]

Also I think thrust is actually just not worth for thunder hammer

[smoky ember]

exists for crusher one shot and boss kill

[lime idol]

U can still crusher 1 tap without thrust

I tested

[smoky ember]

yeah u need chastise though don’t u

[lime idol]

5 stack sustained assault + 5 stack headtaker
Empower H1

Doesn’t need FotF

[smoky ember]

ah

[lime idol]

FotF makes ur empower L1 one tap crusher with the same 5 stack sustained assault + headtaker

I bring a kind of “veteran min-max” energy to zealot that I know y’all don’t appreciate

[smoky ember]

is the difference ADMs?

i honestly don’t really pay attention to thammer

[smoky ember]

(between empowered light and heavy)

[lime idol]

I can record

[smoky ember]

my issue is i don’t pay attention much to numbers, which makes writing the evis guide i’ve been contemplating writing for a while a pain to start

[smoky ember]

no i believe you

[lime idol]

It’s just 5 stack sustained + headtaker for s.H1 1HS (needs some momentum stacks active) / s.L1 1HS (FotF)

[smoky ember]

it’s not that

i mean

the reason chastise lets you one shot, because l1 has a lower carapace ADM opposed to h1

and chastise gives you 100% rending

[smoky ember]

what do u run other than ht?

skull crusher?

[lime idol]

Slaughterer

[lime idol]

Also PTU only changes 1 breakpoint for thunder hammer (empower H1 1HS reaper with no other stacks)

[smoky ember]

yeah that’s why i said for the boss kill meme

goober

[lime idol]

But I figured if I’m going for reaper kill chances are I’m FotF dashing or I have some headtaker/sustained assault stacks up

So it doesn’t matter as much

[smoky ember]

what do u need to empowered light one shot a bulwark

i know you can do it

[lime idol]

U can’t without FotF / martyr

[smoky ember]

i think duelist and a couple slaughterer stacks

and IJ

[smoky ember]

i have before

i know u can

[lime idol]

with 25% unyielding (no PTU), max headtaker & slaughter it goes to precisely 4790 damage on weakspot

[smoky ember]

duelist !

IJ!

[lime idol]

I didn’t include momentum stacks because juggling slaughterer + IJ + duellist against bulwarks is too much variable

[smoky ember]

having the 1 IJ stack for a bulwark

is plenty

[lime idol]

Remember that “5 stack slaughterer” requirement

Good luck keeping 5 stack slaughterer with bulwark packs

[smoky ember]

just light attack chaff

while u wait for a bulwark attack

or just empowered light twice

into a bulwark shield

[lime idol]

U wanted a 1 shot

The 1 shot on empower light is not worth going for

Imo

[smoky ember]

twice

once for shield

once for flesh

[lime idol]

So much effort might as well take skullcrusher

[smoky ember]

i mean yah u could

but u don’t need to

it’s not that hard of a BP to reach

i’ve been able to do it pretty often in matches

[lime idol]

I do think carapace + maniac is the best perk set-up tho

[smoky ember]

why would you need maniac

dreg ragers??

[lime idol]

Throwing knife breakpoints
Reduce stacks needed for dreg rager s.L1 one tap

[smoky ember]

ehh

solely for dreg ragers

meh

[lime idol]

Unyielding changes like 1 breakpoint (reaper) and only matters for boss

[smoky ember]

and bulwarks

[lime idol]

And Dreg rager is like the bane of the thunder hammer’s existence

[smoky ember]

u have greivous wounds

[lime idol]

And 0.5x ADM on maniac

[spiral forge]

any good shotguns ı can get early-ish?

[cloud adder]

Depends on Class, see Masteries to when weapons unlock

[vocal nacelle]

Agripina shotgun

Or double barrel one

[spice shadow]

when I was leveling Zealot

I just used Agri shotgun

never failed me

[spiral forge]

about when should ı go upto uprising?

second difficulty

[limber thicket]

asap

you'll be absolutely fine at lvl 6 with 50 profane weapons

[steel tulip]

Tbh, you can pretty much start at uprising if you wanted to. It's not a big difficulty jump

[spiral forge]

ı am lvl 10 rn with

100 pwoer weapons

so ı should be fine

thanks

[coral violet]

you should jump to the highest available difficulty the moment it unlocks

[spiral forge]

ı satrted got my ass handed because ı didn't know anything and by chance teammates also didn't then switched t osedition

[coral violet]

embrace leechmaxxing

[spiral forge]

but god the game crashes a lot

[limber thicket]

I get frequent disconnects sometimes, but never crashes

very annoying

[spiral forge]

ıcrashed like 6-7 times in the last 2 days

did a reinstall

nope

apparently worker threads to 1 solves crashing for a lot of people

did that

just got another oen

[lime idol]

Is it “out of memory” crash

[spiral forge]

engine error 0x887a0005

[lime idol]

Ok I never saw that one

[spiral forge]

apperently means that video card has been physically removed or something to do with driver

ı am on the newest nvidia driver though

aand obviously my card is inside lol

[lime idol]

Try reinstalling driver

[spiral forge]

should do actually yeah

[silk egret]

how much toughness does coherency regen per sec i cant seem to find it anywhere

[lime idol]

Out-of-coherency: 0/s
1 teammate: 3.75/s
2 teammates: 5.625/s
max coherency: 7.5/s

It’s flat value, doesn’t scale in terms of % of total toughness

thank you i wanted to ues this to calc the regen speed from curios but just couldnt find it

oh thanks

[empty mica]

having problems joining a strike team with a friend, anyone else seeing this

[stuck heart]

What is the difference between the rashad and antax axes? I cant figure it out at all

Antax heavies are slower, but what else?

[stuck heart]

Happens from time to time, donno why

But my friend could join me no issues

[vernal plaza]

Stats (finesse vs cleave target)
Push and special attack

[stuck heart]

But how do they actually differ, the rashad can cleave two trash mobs, so does the antax, and the heavy attacks for rashad are faster, what else other than the moveset sets them apart?

[spice shadow]

that's just how close Rashad is from being "the best" to "pretty good"

its just like a small nerf to damage away to being 2-hits to kill bruisers or being too much point investment

[smoky ember]

rashad has better damage, cleave is irrelevant due to brutal momentum, the push attack will stagger 3 ragers, and with a proper build, it becomes pretty OP

[storm glen]

Whats the difference?

[void forge]

well you see, one is a vigilant autogun, and the other is an autogun that is vigilant

[coral violet]

top one is mk7 bottom one mk9

they're supposed to be merged into one though

[raw smelt]

it is bad to play Damnation with <500 power weapons ?

[coral violet]

350+ is sufficient

maybe less depending on rolls and/or build

[thin crest]

whats currently the best way to complete dont stop me now?

[dapper shard]

Like the Ogryn charge ability penance? Pick up a yellow stim, charge once, use the stim (you can likely use it shortly before charging the first time also), use the charge again

Only make sure you run the full length of the charge - otherwise you will need more than two uses of that ability

[spice shadow]

its more weapon dependent than power level

granted a power level 100 weapon even if perfect will likely suck ass lol

[raw smelt]

I got about 400 power weapons from playing heresy, not perfect rolls and blessings since I am levelling their mastery

[rustic topaz]

I'm sure y'all get this question a lot, but how does one effectively deal with the high intensity specialist modifier? I can handle normal Heresy level missions, but get completely overwhelmed by the waves of specialists coming at me from all sides.

I mostly play Zealot, if that helps.

[smoky ember]

spatial awareness, and a good anti special tool

[smoky ember]

throwing knives are great for it

[warped flume]

So one can't empower Curios, right? How do I get the best rating ones, Sire Melk's random rolls?

Also is there a reason why I see youtubers all having specifically Blessed Bullets? Does that change anything?

[zealous dome]

You'll have to actively hunt and kill specialists

A small change of mindset

Like you can't tunnel vision

[rustic topaz]

How do you clear objectives enough to actually complete them?

[dusk crag]

what purpose has each type of autogun?

[limber thicket]

You can get 420 ones in the armory, I've seen one

it was a fucking wounds curio

[smoky ember]

teammate support or stealth

[storm glen]

Whats the point in melks store atm?

Am i just missing something or is there none rn?

[limber thicket]

get lucky and buy a god tier weapon or curio without spending mats

that's how I use it

[pallid moss]

Dump stat for duelling sword? Psyker if that makes a difference

[smoky ember]

mobility or defenses

[limber thicket]

How long does the penance reward track stay for?

[smoky ember]

forever

it’s not a cycling battle pass system

[limber thicket]

Oh, good. I thought it was exactly that

[smoky ember]

yarp of course

[sinful summit]

It stays until the day before you unlock that thing you want

[limber thicket]

[sterile valve]

Hey so outside of really specific builds (eg stealth zeolot) is there any single target focused melee weapon that comes close to the dueling sword. Doesn't need to beat it. Just would like something else that compliments an aoe focused primary where I'm not actively shooting myself in the foot for not using dueling sword.

[lime idol]

knife, sorta

[sterile valve]

what kinda sorta?

also not the chain axe? Combat Axe? I asked about the tactical axe the other day and thats apparently nowhere close

[lime idol]

which class are u specifically focusing on

[sterile valve]

So far zeolot and psyker. Would like to try the flamer on zeolot and both the blast and fire staves on psyker.

Also there's nothing about the builds that makes me not want to take the dualing sword, I just don't like it animation wise and would prefer, if possible, to use something else while still doing higher level content

[smoky ember]

no not really

zealot dueling sword is just on another level

[sterile valve]

damn

and psyker? I've been enjoying the force sword with its second mark (rarely using the special move on it just something that pokes hard with high peril)

[modest tangle]

how do you see the who killed what at the end of a game?

[signal gate]

chain weapons don't work with zealot stealth, rev'd attacks can't benefit from shroudfield damage bonus because bug

[dreamy nymph]

Anyone else having severe input lag on their WASD and nothing else?

[sterile valve]

to be clear i was talking about non zeolot stealth builds, since that's a case where there's a clear winner, specifically the combat knife.

[dreamy nymph]

Comp needed a hard restart

[abstract basalt]

How does a high intensity normal deamination mission compares to a Auric? Is there a significant difference in difficulty?

[late fjord]

can anyone help me and my friend with the just a flesh wound penance?

[vocal nacelle]

special waves comes more often

[sinful summit]

Enemy health matches the respective difficulty, but the spawn rates and quantities are further increased, and the ai director that dictates the spawns has much less pity for the players (if you've ever noticed a calm lull after a really chaotic fight, that was the directors pity kicking in, auric director just continues trying to rip your nuts off regardless)

[austere verge]

Can you buff the main stat on your curios at the shrine? Like if I have a +2 stamina and want it to go to +3 can I just empower it or do I need to find a curio that specifically gives stamina +3?

I would test it but don't want to potentially waste my diamantine

[vocal nacelle]

You cant, need to buy new one

[abstract basalt]

Thank you.

[abstract basalt]

Thank you, good to know before I wipe the team.

[mint knot]

if u want to focus on dueling side: knife or devil's claw (just pick right type of DC)
if u want to focus on mimicking utility side of dueling sword (aka good no brain anti-horde light attacks and hard hitter single target hold attacks): power maul, crusher maul, hammer

scoreboard or powerDI mod
