[smoky ember]

i guess there’s also mk15 evis, does similar

[austere verge]

Good to know, thank you

[sterile valve]

I will say that one does confuse me. Its moveset seems like its perfectly designed to never be able to combo without mixing both sweeps and strikedowns in a way that doesn't go anywhere. What am I missing?

[smoky ember]

light spam for hordes

heavies for single target

[smoky ember]

are you thinking of the mk3 evis?

[sterile valve]

yes

my b sorry

[smoky ember]

mk3 lights are overhead, sweep, sweep, overhead

ah

[sterile valve]

yeah the mk15 makes perfect sense,

[smoky ember]

mk3 is also really fun but it’s a bit more complicated

[smoky ember]

if u need builds or blessings for evis i can give them 2 u

[sterile valve]

If you would like to infodump on the mk3 because I did have fun with it when I first used it but thats also because it was my first chain weapon and it felt really violent and chaotic but then I looked at what the funny symbols meant and couldn't make heads or tails of it

[smoky ember]

ok swag mk3 is my expertise

[smoky ember]

for blessings, you have a couple options

for crit builds, you want perfect strike shred (since evis buffs a while ago, this is really only useful on high havocs, as you kill horde too quickly to get much scourge value, meaning less PS value)

for non crit, you want rampage wrath/savage sweep (i prefer wrath)

you can also take shred rampage for IJ,

Mk3 does nicely with a cleave blessing, especially for L2 and L3, but it’s not required until you play higher level havocs

for attack patterns

horde clear has a couple options, each of them are about equal on horde clear,

Push (not PA) leads into double overhead lights, good for dealing with maulers, ragers, etc

PA L repeat for simple and easy horde clear, best if you’re taking desperation

H L L PA L L repeat for more complicated but also a bit more versatile horde clear

H L L L repeat also works fine

h1 has a unique property where it comes out faster as a combo starter instead of mid combo, so you really only want to use it as a first attack in combos

for single target, just rev H1, going to h2 isn’t worth the effort

rev H2 now does a good bit more damage, and isn’t a bad choice anymore

same with Rev L1, due to damage override being removed, so you deal a full L1 of damage, then atop that, your sawing damage, making it especially good with chastise

the increased damage doesn’t really meet any BPs

for dealing with rager packs, if you have grievous wounds, h1 can throw a rager to the ground under the right circumstances

uhmm

h1 is really bad for horde clear due to its poor damage distribution, but it’s mainly used for horde stagger and building scourge/savage sweep, or cleaving through chaff to saw a rager or mauler

H1 is now very good at horde clear

that’s the main of it

if u have any questions regarding evis u can always ping me

there’s a few other niche things with mk3 evis but

[sterile valve]

Yeah I futzed around with that for a bit when I first started reving, swinging for a miss then going in for the h2. You can imagine what a breath of fresh air the m15 was after doing that nonesense

[smoky ember]

they’re mostly irrelevant

[smoky ember]

you can also push into heavy to get to it

but it’s not worth the effort

[sterile valve]

actually how do you do that. Push into heavy generally I mean

[smoky ember]

push, let go of block, heavy

[left needle]

Hello can anybody help do twins Hard??

[smoky ember]

it’s the same on the ironhelm thammer

[smoky ember]

@autumn glade can help you whenever he gets on

[smoky ember]

but that goes into h3

[sterile valve]

tyvm that was really helpful :D

[smoky ember]

yeah of course :3

if u need anything else feel free 2 ping me

[autumn glade]

i got this, thanks

[left needle]

Can u help?

[smoky ember]

he can idk why he didn’t ping you

@autumn glade

[autumn glade]

I dmd him

[smoky ember]

ah

[smoky ember]

he probably didn’t realize because message requests

[rigid wasp]

hi can u give me a house in the current economy

Guys I probably say goodbye to the game I cant figure out how to fix backend error I try evrything on https://support.fatshark.se/hc/en-us/articles/15602844489757-Backend-Error still error appears :c

[untold night]

Hello, is there any obscure settings to avoid being queued with console players?

[spice shadow]

sadly no

you just kind of deal with them

[rigid wasp]

sus

[zealous dome]

Play with premades

[untold night]

What is that?

[smoky ember]

premade lobbies, (aka playing with friends/people from the server)

[sterile valve]

hey so trying to figure out how to build around the inferno staff and flamer. What, if anything, do crits and strength actually do for them. My understanding is their damage comes from their debuffs (soulblaze and normal fire respectively) which they stack fairly fast. But they have all these blessings around crit and strength which, according to my understanding of how they work, would do basically nothing.

So I guess I'm asking how do they work with these things mechanically

[smoky ember]

crits will crit string (so once you roll a crit the next couple of shots will be crits), and each crit applies 2 burn stacks instead of one

speeds up getting to max burn stacks

in my opinion, crits aren’t worth it to spec for for flamer or infernus

but nexus blaze away is what most psykers swear by

[smoky ember]

and for flamer,

[sterile valve]

what does penetrating flame do for it, just increase its direct damage or also the DoT

or should I say brittleness

[smoky ember]

penetrating flames applies brittleness per stack, which is a debuff to enemies that weakens their armor

i don’t recall the exact number, but effectively it increases their ADM(armor damage modifier/multiplier) (meaning you will deal more damage through their armor)

[sterile valve]

gotcha

I mean warp nexus doesn't seem worth just on the basis that the inferno staff just doesn't generate much peril

[smoky ember]

this is true, and brittleness does apply to burn damage as well

full transparency, i don’t play psyker much anymore, and some psykers say that nexus is better ( @hallow socket ) than penetrating flames

as they say pen flames doesn’t change Time To Kill

[hallow socket]

Pen falmes just doesn't seem to do much, and it's effect on crushers is minor.

Nexus = 2 stacks and more damage in general, esp with blaze away

[sterile valve]

thats very fair. its just I went through my first mission with it and I was spraying like a dipshit and never getting to overheat

[hallow socket]

As for not generating enough peril, but you should keep your peril at 60%+ anyways

never quell down

and inbetween fights, stroke your sword or your staff.

Peril edging is a huge part of being a decent psyker

[sterile valve]

Figured thats what folks meant by that

[smoky ember]

pinging u is like summoning a pokémon

[hallow socket]

[silk egret]

are there any enemies that are immune to suppression and if they are what are they?

[smoky ember]

ragers

every ranged enemy can be suppressed except flamers and snipers and trappers

[silk egret]

I'm guessing all ogryns are immune too right

[zealous dome]

Reapers can be suppressed

[silk egret]

Really? Must take quite a bit then

[zealous dome]

Depends on the weapon really

Because FS made different suppression value for weapons

[silk egret]

Wish they showed them...

[zealous dome]

Oh and Groaners can be suppressed as well

[silk egret]

What about infested? Don't remember seeing them ever get suppressed

[zealous dome]

Poxwalkers can't be suppressed

[silk egret]

Damn

This actually brings up another question is ceasless barage bugged? Its the exact same across all 4 lvls

[zealous dome]

Oh?

[lime idol]

Groaners, scab shooters, scab stalkers, dreg stalkers, scab gunners, dreg gunners & reapers can be suppressed

EVERY OTHER ENEMY IS SUPPRESSION-IMMUNE

[silk egret]

What the hell I thought it was only the in-game text

So it's just straight up the exact same

[silk egret]

That's a surprisingly few amount that can be suppressed

ngl i feel like shotgunners should get suppressed

[lime idol]

Unfortunately they are immune

[silk egret]

yea.. it kinda makes it feel like building for suppression is kinda bad when there can be times when you cant suppress anything

[zealous dome]

Extremely noticeable when you're Infernoing everything then get shot because shotgunners don't care

[silk egret]

i would love to take ceasless barage if more things could be supressed so i can help the little ones with me

[silk egret]

also i cant get over how this got passed the new update

also just wondering what does it mean to have @ acolytes

[zealous dome]

Server boosting with discord nitro

[silk egret]

ah fun

[zealous dome]

Afaik it only gives a pink name

[silk egret]

ok cool just wanted to know thank you

[timid holly]

hey. so from my understanding the commodores vestures refresh every 2 weeks on a friday? That seems like too long of atime to wait? Does anybody know the last time it rotated?

And also, each time it rotates, is it the first or last page that gets rotated out? Or does all of it change at once?

[silk egret]

i dont remember when it last rotated but its last page out

so its a long time till the current 1st page will be gone

[timid holly]

jee

[silk egret]

yea almost no one likes how the shop is

[timid holly]

i dont wanna bitch about it but does fatshark not want money or something?

[timid holly]

😭

[zealous dome]

Next rotation on the 7th

[silk egret]

you dont understand how many people say this

[timid holly]

At least they give refunds. other games dont do that for cosmetics u dont like that u bought so thats a bonus

[zealous dome]

Oh believe me when I say that they did a lot of money with this shitty Fomo shop

[silk egret]

in VT2 its a permeant shop too no clue why it was made a fomo shop

[floral sparrow]

Is there a way to kick players ?

[silk egret]

its a vote to kick last i remember

[floral sparrow]

Or do you just have to let them die and not pick them up ?

[timid holly]

no i saw a vote to kick option once

[zealous dome]

Social tab when in mission

To start a vote

Or mute

[silk egret]

yea its kinda clunky

[silk egret]

then again somtimes a kick is necessary

[floral sparrow]

Are people botting the game? I keep seeing people with generic bot names and the way they play is really really strange

They move on a preset path in each level, kind of like a railway. They often aren't looking where they are going, snap to enemies, etc

Sometimes they get stuck on the level geometry and we have to wait for them to die so we can move on

In the post game they appear as actual players, which is odd

[signal gate]

I think we'd need to see evidence but it isn't impossible

there is websites that typically sell MMO and ARPG stuff for real money, but darktide also has like, a surprising amount of people selling services such as leveling or penances

what's the next step in leveling accounts for lazy people for money if you live in a 3rd world country, make or get a bot program that does it for you

@vapid dew Not zealot advice but more so I know you know more than me about any 3rd party RMT that has been going on in darktide

[timid holly]

I had something like that yesterday but this guy was like breahing into his mike, like gagging and clearing his throat loudly. it was rlly weird and a bit anoying, but for the whole time he was behind and playing honestly, like a bot

[vapid dew]

They are just bad at the game

[timid holly]

mic, not mike

[vapid dew]

Are you certain they aren’t bots actual bots

[vapid dew]

Haven’t seen any boosting in that regard yet in the thousands of hours I have played

Plenty of console players being console players however

[signal gate]

sounds like a bad player with a hot mic

(hot mic being the term for having a bad mic but not using push to talk)

[floral sparrow]

I think you would have to be really really good at the game to move in straight lines while constantly blocking, snapping to enemies and shooting them. If I see them again I will try and record. Really bloody odd.

[signal gate]

could be just over reliance on the games aim assist

[floral sparrow]

There is aim assist ?

[signal gate]

for console yea, or else it would be unplayable without investing in the more expensive controllers with gyro control and spending the time to learn how to play fps with gyro

[vapid dew]

On console yeah

[floral sparrow]

Can't you just plug a mouse and keyboard into consoles now ?

[signal gate]

I remember uhh one game, dude spent the entire match on call with a friend talking about his babymama (His words) and his kids

[floral sparrow]

But whatever, their problem until they join the lobby I am in and die repeatedly

[signal gate]

not exactly but since it's not a high movement/comp game it doesn't really matter, aim assist + mkb won't be better than straight mkb or gyro mastery

[floral sparrow]

Then it is my problem too 😦

[signal gate]

mostly cause of target priority making it hard to pick out specific targets if there is layers of enemies in front of you if you are using autoaim

[vapid dew]

That’s just the pub experience

[floral sparrow]

Unfortunately nobody I know personally plays this game, so I have been stuck in public lobbies for 32 hours thus far

I have maxed out the psyker which was really easy to do as you don't have to grind weapons for that class, but struggling with the others

The next best class appears to be the ogryn as you get infinite rocks to throw, but haven't worked out how to get them to regenerate faster

[signal gate]

they don't it's a recharge

[smoky ember]

45 seconds per rock

[stuck heart]

Ok, I have used every single melee weapon for every class extensively, how the fuck is anything supposed to compete with the stabbing heavies duelling sword? it outshines everything

[spiral forge]

how do ı do the parry of devil 's claw swords?

is it the push attack?

[smoky ember]

press special, when an enemy hits you in that animation, that’s a parry, and you’ll automatically do a riposte

[smoky ember]

yes, it’s entirely busted

[spiral forge]

ok thx

[left needle]

Hello what is the dump stat for combat knife?

And MK Ix combat shotgun

[keen obsidian]

What is a gyro controller?

[undone moth]

Any veteran boltgun builds

[fringe orbit]

how are people shooting bolts with lightning staff at like 8 bolts per second guys?

[smoky ember]

macro, it’s cheating

[smoky ember]

mobility, or you can dump pen if you take uncanny

[smoky ember]

mobility

[lime idol]

FS hasn’t outlined it as cheat yet tho I think

[smoky ember]

people have gotten banned for it

[signal gate]

What apex and cod pros use, physically moving the controller will be camera input

[smoky ember]

puncture pinning fire

i’ll check the perks in a sec

[undone moth]

why puncture

[smoky ember]

meets one shot breakpoints

for certain enemies

path will know

[lime idol]

Was that super recent or

[signal gate]

If it’s the full auto mod, it is legal cause that doesn’t break any rules, but if it is a macro that does the quell cancel for you

That is bannable

[smoky ember]

@vapid dew people have gotten banned for M1 macro, right?

[signal gate]

Quell canceling is just as bad as the blacklisted mod that abused weapon swapping to melee multiple times per second

[lime idol]

1 headshot both gunners without exe stance (tag & redirect fire)

1 bodyshot both flamers & both gunners in exe stance with max PF stacks

2 bodyshot ragers outside of exe stance
2 bodyshot maulers in exe stance
Additional boss damage
Crusher 3HS in exe stance with marksman active

Basically it does surgical’s job (crit 1 bodyshot priority targets) for you when you use exe stance

And exe stance is the best way to play veteran Boltgun

[undone moth]

yum

[smoky ember]

crusher 3 shot? is the amount of health they’re left with without puncture like, 10?

[lime idol]

Like 100 ish which 12 bleed stacks cover for u

[smoky ember]

neat

[keen obsidian]

i play on controller ill have to get one

[keen obsidian]

How did I not know about this

[lime idol]

It’s weird because it partially (?) turns off aim assist

To balance out the more precise gyro input

[keen obsidian]

I’m buying the bigbigwon blitz 2

[keen obsidian]

Is there a way to find a balance?

[lime idol]

Not that I know of

[keen obsidian]

Just looked it up

You can you 3 party remaps to bind gyro to right stick

To become evil

And then you have aim assist with precision aiming

[spice shadow]

still better to use a mouse and keyboard

[limber thicket]

Is there any way to force exclusive full screen after the recent update?

some external solution, like a mod or a setting in windows etc.

[undone moth]

so just to double check if i want a big gun that kills carapace and unyielding is it just plasma and boltgun

[undone moth]

is it flak unyield

[lime idol]

It’s just Boltgun

Plasma is not rly for boss dps

[hasty pagoda]

plasma is still good for boss damage tf are you talking about

[undone moth]

recon or vraks for boss dps?

[keen obsidian]

I have carpal tunnel

I like m&k but it causes me pain

[limber thicket]

you need to treat it and get a better setup then, m&k alone doesn't cause it

i know it from experience

[lime idol]

It’s mediocre at it

[hasty pagoda]

hmm its not s tier at killing bosses therefore its mediocre

[lime idol]

If u run blaze away + optimized cooling and hit every headshot you can deal with ~39k unyielding damage in 11 shots before having to vent

But in an otherwise normal plasma gun set-up it’s not that high

[hasty pagoda]

thats still pretty good, why would you call it bad for boss damage. Veteran has the best talents for boss damage so honestly just a basic plasma would be much better at dealing against bosses than a handful of other classes weapons

[lime idol]

I mean, comparatively to veteran’s top boss damage options, a normal plasma gun is pretty mediocre

A normal plasma is maybe 23k if u hit every headshot

But you’re usually not going to hit every single shot on the head against a boss

[hasty pagoda]

personally i think maxing out boss damage can get pretty redundant in the long run considering that theres three other players to help you out fighting it

[zealous dome]

Not on hordes

[torpid kestrel]

Did they update the graphic requirements or something, I used to run this on High?

[coral violet]

nothing changed except forced borderless windowed mode

just ignore it

[torpid kestrel]

Yea from launching the game seems like it was just a weird pop up, it's not running any different

[limber thicket]

what mod makes dodges show like this?

[little coyote]

Think it was either NumericUI or CustomHUD

I've got both so it had to be one or the other

[limber thicket]

I have custom hud, so it must be numericUI. thanks, I'll try it

[lime idol]

Numeric UI
There’s another mod that shows available dodges in a stamina-style bar

[onyx pike]

anyone have the issue of raytracing being switched off everytime you relstart darktide

[rigid wasp]

Whenever I play the game, I crash after like 5 minutes of playing. I checked my g

gpu*

and its under a ridiculous 60% load whenever im just idling

any advice?

[rigid wasp]

I don't suppose it's using the integrated one?

[austere trellis]

Hi all, for the "untouchable operative" penance, the one where you have to do 10 auric missions without dying, what counts as "dying"? is it going down already, or actually having to be rescued

[vocal nacelle]

dead dead

[austere trellis]

cool, then I might give this a try

[slender tree]

Imma bit new and want to ask the f means 3001/3013 error?
I can't log even into the hub, not mentioning the actual missions, so i am literally without the game rn. Is it some serverside error that shared not only for me, but for some other people too, or I just made worst error in my life - opening the game in the morning instead of evening?

[vocal nacelle]

have you tried using VPN?

[slender tree]

if only I had stable one

I suppose I am not going to chill this morning without VPN, aren't I?

[vocal nacelle]

someone saying reverify the game from launcher helps

[slender tree]

Hm, I will look into that

[sullen frost]

funny question: is the block/push parry thing an actual mechanic or just something unintended?

[karmic willow]

I wish I could play the game without connection to server error

[pure void]

Seems a lot of people have 3001 error.

Got this error too.

Only VPN fixed the error for me.

[dreamy hedge]

Error 3001 seems to be in the entire Russian region

[vocal nacelle]

Block yes, shove yes, push attack yes, parry depends on the weapon

[limber thicket]

Anyone using this mod? Works without issues on current patch?

[slender tree]

Done nothing to the error

Well, I will wait for some time

[undone moth]

Does the No Rebreather Required penance factor in your entire team when counting triggered mines?

[vapid dew]

Yes

[vapid dew]

Works

[undone moth]

Oh God, don't know how I'll get this one done.

[signal gate]

Get a premade and do it on the lowest difficulty

And just group and bully rodan

[vocal nacelle]

It doesn't say you need to do it on damnation

[undone moth]

Unfortunately no one I know plays the game. I've been relying on random for most so far.

Edit: Scratch that random came to the rescue and we just kited the bots around the edge of arena.

[smoky ember]

you got it?

[stuck heart]

still gets the job done though, busted ass weapon

[undone moth]

If i run flamethrower on zealot what melee do i want

[gusty whale]

something stabby

[smoky ember]

whatever you want

flamer pairs best with a weapon that’s more single target focused, but it really doesn’t matter much, flamer works fine on most every build

[mighty ibex]

Flamethrower is more AOE. So got a better single target damage melee. Balance is key.

[signal gate]

combat blade, dueling sword, chain axe, and thunder hammer usually

[limber thicket]

can someone explain why this guy got such a huge score?
It doesn't matter, I know, especially considering it's just levelling on Uprising, but I'm just confused

maybe it's just bugged...

[rigid wasp]

Seems rescuing people gives a lot of score

Staggering enemies and taking less damage is boosting the defense one

[limber thicket]

Yeah, stagger is a very strange stat for the score. Because when you kill shit in one hit it doesn't count as stagger I'm pretty sure

I'll just disable that

[pallid moss]

Do you only get bonus rewards if you collect ALL grims/scrips in a mission? Anything for only having 1-2?

[spice shadow]

you get partial rewards

so its still value to win with them

its not good value but hey its something

[cloud adder]

why is a lower number better for intensity? (Inferno Staff)

[smoky ember]

@zealous dome

any idea?

[void forge]

Might be the interval inbetween burn procs

[smoky ember]

that’s a good guess

i can test it after work

[zealous dome]

My best bet is the cooldown of applying stacks

But I'm also not sure

[smoky ember]

hrmm

[smoky ember]

also a good guess

hrmrmrmrmrm

[rigid wasp]

How do you get the red sainted gear ?

[limber thicket]

mods, there's one that makes fully upgraded items red

[turbid yarrow]

out of every class which gum has the highest fire rate, just base
dont include ogryn's blitz for increased fire rate just whats the highest raw RoF

[lime idol]

Recon Lasgun XII at 1200rpm

[turbid yarrow]

what about non energy guns

[lime idol]

Shredder autopistol at 900rpm

[turbid yarrow]

okay

[lime idol]

Next fastest is Vraks V infantry autogun at 800rpm

[turbid yarrow]

but vraks has most dps

it was either most dps or the best for dps sustainability(simple terms not burst damage)

[dense gale]

Anyone else getting insane lag

like 5 seconds of delay

4 seconds consistently

[lime idol]

Server been bad past week

[dense gale]

it suddenly got really bad

like its not been great

but now its unplayable

like what is supposed to be 30ms is more like 200ms

[rose barn]

Is there like a best set up for Hardmode Twins? I have been at this on my ogryn for hours but I can't make it happen with randoms

[vocal nacelle]

Did you pick the fire bullet?

[rose barn]

nah, i am usin tank+melee build

with a pickaxe

[vocal nacelle]

If you want the easiest way to do it, pick the fire bullet using achlys stubber or mk5 rippergun

Keystone is feel no pain

Melee whatever you want

[rose barn]

you say fire bullet twice now. Im assuming thats the fire many bullet very fast

[vocal nacelle]

massive DoT damage when you break the shield

another tips is

• rodin (plasma user) shield is weak to melee
• rinda (sword user) shield is weak to ranged
• kill rodin first so there's less mine
• clear elite/special before fighting the twins so you dont get suprised by sudden crusher overhead
• vet field improv helps a lot to replenish nade or clear corruption
• ogryn nade to clear screen

[rose barn]

Hm ok. Ill try this

Ogryn supremecy

Now i just gotta execute. Will try tomorrow and report back

[bronze moon]

can i change the perks on curios

[vocal nacelle]

yes

[oblique karma]

does anyone know of a setting or mod that disables/turns down muzzle flashes?

[late valley]

There's one called "Let me see" I think

[oblique karma]

i had a look at that one and it doesnt mention muzzle flashes, just some psyker stuff and the flamer

[stray knoll]

Hey, could I get some help completing "just a flesh wound" penance. that would be greatly appreciated.

[undone moth]

Could someone explain to me just exactly what the "Quick Work" penance entails. Do we each have to just place all 3 cells in together within 5 seconds, or do we have to pick up and place all 3 together in 5 seconds?

[brave token]

This feels like a really dumb question but where can I see the list of redacted penances for a character? I haven't really played since the newest updates and the patch notes say that it should be at the bottom of the penance window but I don't see them...a screenshot would be greatly appreciated 🙏

[shrewd crescent]

I would apreciate assistance with ´´atomas elite guard´´ penance.
i am your friendly neighbourhood zealot and i would apreciate the help.

[cloud adder]

so what does that mean for simpletons?

[primal badge]

guys which mod gives that error do you know it? It started to happen after the update

game gives backend error now

[primal badge]

weapon customization was the problem if any1 has the same problem

[pine herald]

You still looking for someone?

[void forge]

By default, when you are running perpendicular to an enemy and you have stamina, you will dodge their shots. This talent extends this effect to also dodge even when you have no stamina.

in addition to the movespeed of course

[cloud adder]

Oh, so it is quite usefull!
Thanks

[void forge]

no its generally pretty useless but ok

[sinful summit]

swift certainty is functionally 5% sprint speed

the sprint dodging effect it gives can also be done by sliding which costs no stamina and also isnt locked at a specific angle

so you literally already have something that does exactly that, but better, without needing to spend a point on it

[cloud adder]

but sliding wont dodge snipers (atleast sometimes..) 🤔 feels as safe as hiding behind cover, getting shot anyway xD

[sinful summit]

sliding dodges snipers

sliding dodges gunfire through the full duration of the slide

[cloud adder]

hmm, now I do wonder, does it also dodges, when the shot wasent aimed at you, but at someone next to you and you can get unlucky and dodge into the shot, aimed at someone else?

[glass grotto]

im kinda struggling getting Diamantine, does anyone know a good way to get some?

[sinful summit]

quickplay damnation

[sinful summit]

if youre not in a dodged state when the shot is fired, then yes

if you dodge into it but are still in the middle of your dodge when the shot is fired at your teammate, it wont hit

[cloud adder]

the dodged state is during the time you are sliding on the floor?

[cloud adder]

✍️ Oh! Thanks
Ok, the dodges where I got hit must be out of frame then.
if dodging, so cheap is so efficent, yeah.. wont take Swift certainty then for its just 5% speed

[sinful summit]

its worth noting that dodge sliding and sprint sliding are different
dodging and then immediately crouching will slide dodge, which gives you much more dodge distance, but consumes 2 effective dodges instead of 1 like a normal dodge
sprinting and crouching will do a normal slide, which doesnt cost any dodges, but wont break melee targeting like normal dodge/dodge slides do, and will reset the effective dodge refresh timer

[cloud adder]

Oh, thats good to know, man wish that would have being in the tutorial/getting started.
What is it with first vermintide and now darktide and its sorta hidden mechanics that are not that easy to understand (in the chaos that is going on)? xD
🤔 I might not even have tried (intentenally) the dodge slides it seems...

thanks

[manic pollen]

In case you were unaware, that genre of music is called synthwave. If you want something darker or heavier, look at outrun. For lighter, vaporwave.

Referring to the latter song

[glass grotto]

is there a reason to do the special assignment or not really?

[vocal nacelle]

getting the flex insignia

[abstract beacon]

Anyone got tips for getting on over watch penance? Like what kinda maps is it easiest to get, recommended weapons and that kinda stuff

[cloud adder]

Low Intense Modifier helps alot and aggressive but team working zealots

[abstract beacon]

Alrighty thanks, should I switch to something like an auto gun or stick with my bolt pistol for it

[cloud adder]

Something to keep the threat at bay

[abstract beacon]

Kk

[zealous pollen]

Anyone else having connectivity issues today?

[abstract beacon]

I have, but I just turned off steam cloud saving and it fixed it

[smoky ember]

use a revolver, or a low ammo count plasma gun

if you use plasma, just dump all your ammo in charged shots into hordes n such

[frigid nova]

What difficulty does Friendly Fire from Ranged Weapons start? I've been at Difficulty 3 for a while, but if 4 is like Champion in Vermintide then I kinda don't even want to try harder until I get better with more precise weapons.

[little coyote]

it doesn't

[smoky ember]

there is no friendly fire

also, all guns penetrate through teammates

[little coyote]

do all weapons though?

[smoky ember]

yes

no weapons are blocked by teammates

[frigid nova]

AWESOME! That information would have been GREAT to include in the game somewhere. Speaking of, what IS the difference in difficulty? Just , Harder, with no major gameplay changes like V2?

[spice shadow]

increased enemy spawns, hp, damage

Player receives only 2 wounds from Heresy and beyond

the difficulty is mostly increased chaos basically as they throw more enemies at you

at the highest difficulties, this is more a normal experience rather than a meme UwU

[rare lava]

Did the patch change how rounding or something works? I think (am sure) that few weapons dropped from 500 to 490 and they all have 1% missing in one stat.

[lime idol]

Backend fix to weapons’ stat rounding incorrectly during empowerment

It’s mentioned in the patch notes

[rare lava]

Thank you. Yeah, I am not good enough at the game to try to read patch notes.

[icy crater]

Anyone know when the event ends?

[cloud adder]

2 weeks after launch

[near sable]

So... Gloriana map, the first event after the skywalk... Hadron hands my ass to be a future servitor for failing to keep up - and then we gotta "reset the reactor" ... But we failed what? Either I am blind, deaf or both as I do not see nor hear objective to do other than press the button and survive ... what am I missing?

[lone adder]

I believe in that first event, you gotta do the steps in quick succession

So you do the reset on the coolant core thingies then go back up to the podium and pull that switch

If you dont do it in time, you gotta redo the reset

[prisma wraith]

During the event, a bunch of capacitors begin to power up slowly and sometimes one will short out, requiring you to reset it:

If you take too long, the rest of the capacitors immediately shut off, mission handlers get upset, and you’ll need to both reset the capacitor as well as restart the powerup sequence

If you’re quick to reset a capacitor, the rest will remain powered and the sequence will continue, saving a lot of time.

You won’t be caught in an infinite loop of restarting the power up sequence if you fail each time as it will eventually finish without interruption, but it does draw out an already intense mid-event.

Hope that answers your question

[near sable]

ah, thanks

now, I can be properly useful next time xD

[raw smelt]

what armor type is rager ?

[limber thicket]

Maniac\Flak depending on the rager

[wheat raptor]

anyone know why after a mission my game loses half of its fps? going from 60 in a mission to 30 stuttering all over the place

[vocal nacelle]

could be too many explosion, effect, corpse

[wheat raptor]

ill lower some of those limits then ill report back

[latent wren]

I've tried to match into matches, and sometimes it just fails. Like the voiceline for the loading screen plays for a few seconds, and the it cuts out and I'm stuck infinitely, until I reload the game and then it lets me into the match.

Is it a mod doing it?

It feels like it's only happening on my Psyker

Whenever I load back in, there's always another player in my dropship

[cloud adder]

what is Impact Strength?

[lime idol]

It’s just stagger

[cloud adder]

Oh..
Thanks!

[frosty tendon]

Since the game is about to be released on ps5, will it come with cross progression too?

[lime idol]

No

They don’t have cross progression between Xbox and steam rn, it prob won’t with PS5 launch either

[frosty tendon]

Oh too bad

[fluid sand]

anyone have numbers or details on the new modifer?

Like there's the mutations w/ tantacles and stuff and more BoN. Anything else like more DH or do you need to shoot the mutated body part to make the enemy explode?

[rigid wasp]

at a bit of a loss with zealot atm, trying to get through the vanity unlocks and some people are just eugh to queue with.
the shcoking stuff penance. mainly just having difficulty mobbing down 40 stunned targets before every 2 bit 🧠 ogryn oonga boonga's my hard work ;-;

[limber thicket]

nobody cares (your team in the game) about your penances ingame

[signal gate]

Bruh

It’s gameplay help

[limber thicket]

they don't even know you are doing them

[smoky ember]

bro

[smoky ember]

people can ask in chat

[limber thicket]

but he's blaming players ingame for "ruining" his penance progress bruh
"every 2 bit 🧠 ogryn oonga boonga's my hard work" (c)

that's kinda rude and weird

all im saying

[smoky ember]

usually you can ask in game chat to let you get a horde, or i can help you later today after work

[signal gate]

You are going to want to use a flamer, or either hsword or chainsword for their fast horde clear. Pubs might not be helpful but it doesn’t hurt to ask.

If you want to make a premade for it, you can take immo nades and have your team by stun nade zealots

[rigid wasp]

i do ask and co-op with in game squads, but the usual response is something toxic like smd or "go do damnation 4head"

[signal gate]

Since it doesn’t have to be your stun nade for the penance

[signal gate]

That is partly true

You want to be on the highest difficulty for the biggest hordes

[rigid wasp]

alright

[smoky ember]

i wonder if hsword or chainsword is better at raw horde clear

i think hsword is better for elites mixed in but chainsword for pure chaff

who knows

[signal gate]

Someone should crunch the numbers

[smoky ember]

it probably also depends heavily on build

i’d guess raw, hsword would be faster

but with chainsword IJ chainsword, it probably edges it out

i can test it when i get home

[signal gate]

Chsword i think horde clear better with piety

Because it’s crit damage doesn’t fall off with horde clear

[smoky ember]

maybe, but i run chainsword with IJ

so idk

[mint knot]

are there any important breakpoints on heavy sword? Got 61% defense 79% first target on it
wonder if that 1% is critical

[signal gate]

Probably not but it’s not hard to roll brunt whites until you get perfect

Def good enough for now

[rigid wasp]

prolly got my loadout for this half backwards. They rec the flamer but it's so 💦 poor in terms of dps that tagging enemies before whatevers cc'd get oobliterated

[smoky ember]

flamer obliterates hordes

[rigid wasp]

thanks, perk setup was very lacking. beyond just my general damage not meeting the bar bc i'm still leveling to 30.
feel like a literal npc at times.

[smoky ember]

lmfao

[smoky ember]

don’t worry about penances til ur level 30 tbh

worry about leveling weapons first

[signal gate]

Dont worry about penances

You need a 76% burn flamer anyways

[gentle spruce]

was there a passive that recovers corruption? and if so who has it

[zealous dome]

Zealot
Middle tree aura

[gentle spruce]

thanks

[mint knot]

but it's really shitty, reconsider your choices

[gentle spruce]

i know

[glacial sigil]

Just bought a new knife and it has:

[gentle spruce]

when you reset the game it'll go back to regular stats

its probably your mod messing it up

[coral pewter]

how am i supposed to do a mission without taking melee damage

[lost pulsar]

also vet can upgrade med kits to do it too

[coral violet]

health melee damage *

[lost pulsar]

blocking and getting hit at max toughness will negate all health damage

[coral violet]

very easily now since VoC exists

[lost pulsar]

basically block a whole mission, look for low intensity modifier

[tall stump]

or does the event apply to all missions?

[pallid moss]

So what exactly does Auric change? Is it just harder? Ive played a few now and I havent noticed

[smoky ember]

more enemy spawns

enemy health and damage stays the same

[pallid moss]

Right

[smoky ember]

but there are more enemies, more specialists and elites

etc

more boss spawns

[lime idol]

Higher innate spawn intensity, missions always have increased difficulty modifiers

[lime idol]

I don’t think it does more boss spawns

It still goes up to 2 in regular iirc

[signal gate]

Director will no longer feel pity for the players

Normal board director will try to help you win by pumping brakes on spawns and putting some good loot in front of you. Auric director does not give a fuck and will never drop neutral state

[cloud adder]

What,... director
This isn't HD2

[lime idol]

AI director (controls enemy & item spawns)

[cloud adder]

There is a AI director?

[lime idol]

The idea is used in pretty much every co-op horde shooter lol

[cloud adder]

I see why adeptus mechanicus dislikes AI

So there is something, that is responsible for the sometimes, never ending flood of ragers?

[lime idol]

Yes

Welcome to auric HiSTG

[cloud adder]

Can we get a new one?

[lime idol]

Havoc could be worse

[vocal nacelle]

or that 1 poxburster already jumping behind you without a sound

[fervent moss]

Can I get help from 1 or 2 people? I'm trying to complete 2 pens and need to create a private game

[lime marten]

(i play guardsman veteran) new player here, how to counter ragers in melee? i often just take distance and blast them to hell when i see one, though its not always possible since sometimes they appear while im in a horde, and when that happens they fold me in half in a split second, is that just how they're intended to work or am i doing something wrong? thanks in advance

[coral violet]

theres little you can do with just melee against hyperdensity packed dreg rager squads

[lime marten]

okay so trying to out-melee a rager is just death

[coral violet]

if theres more than 3 in a group just toss a shredder nade

[little coyote]

as a veteran, maybe the devil's claw parry will save you

[coral violet]

better ask in https://discord.com/channels/727074276724965407/1046912126746374274

[lime marten]

will do, thanks for the redirection

[lime marten]

i struggle with the devils claw, the parry is good but i kinda suck at clearing hordes with it

[coral violet]

veteran dclaw when carapace -

[lime marten]

right now im trying out all the melees to see which one i like best, though i still havent unlocked some

[coral violet]

oh you arent level 30?

[little coyote]

can't recall which variant it is but giving it Rampage and one of the Cleave blessings makes it a really potent horde clearer

[lime marten]

16 right now

[coral violet]

dont bother with it then and just use any braced auto/boltgun

[lime marten]

are they good? i tried the bolter and it absolutely shreds everything but its sooo slow

right now im trying the plasma gun since i just unlocked it

[coral violet]

it really chokes on flak mix without zealot everything

[vocal nacelle]

Block and dodge back while they doing their combo

[lime marten]

do they ever stop attacking?

[vocal nacelle]

Yes

[lime marten]

alright then

[coral violet]

when the combo ends

[little coyote]

the combo is 6 or so attacks long iirc

[lime marten]

do i just block and backdodge untill i can blast them to bits?

[coral violet]

you can also poke them out of any state with a duelling sword alt fire

[lime marten]

havent tried the duelling sword yet

[vocal nacelle]

Depends on your melee or ranged

[coral violet]

you should its one of the most broken weapons atm

[vocal nacelle]

Usually if there's like 8 rager in your vision its time to throw nade

[lime marten]

right now im running powersword and plasma gun but its going to change when i unlock new stuff

[lime marten]

im running krak nades, do they stick to ragers?

[little coyote]

ye

[lime marten]

very nice

[coral violet]

only to flak? those arent actually ragers

they are bruisers in disguise, completely harmless

[vocal nacelle]

duelling sword is good vs elite, kinda slow when dealing horde

i would just stick to power sword

[lime marten]

yeah right now powersword works pretty well for me, plus the electrified attack hits HARD

[coral violet]

if you manage to get the first hit in power sword can stagger any amount of ragers

[lime marten]

that is good to know

[vocal nacelle]

a very simple tip for psword is

1. get Brutal momentum blessing
2. change powersword to mk6
3. do the push attack to deal massive single target damage

[coral violet]

sunder blessing helps a lot, can cleave through carapace to stagger any human sized enemy

[lime marten]

the blessing is the perk correct?

[vocal nacelle]

do you know how to push attack?

perk is damage (vs dmg, crit,stamina, etc) blessing is unique thing that could change your weapon behaviour

[lime marten]

yes, new to darktide but not to horde games, played a lot of vermintide 2

[green rover]

is it impossible to get a weapon maxed out without using empower? i was under the impression that i just had to use it a lot

[lime marten]

the big thingy with an image at the bottom of the weapon?

[coral violet]

power sword block poke has a very high finesse mod on it

[vocal nacelle]

yes

[lime marten]

yeah just noticed its written above it

[vocal nacelle]

yes you need to empower the weapon multiple times till 500 rating

[little coyote]

using the weapon only increases the mastery rank, empower is the only way to increase the weapon stats to it's own theoretical max

[lime marten]

alright thanks for all the tips guys, i will be going back to crushing heretics, the emperor protects.

[limber thicket]

Get lucky at the Melk casino

I've never seen a perfect weapon from Melk in 80+ hours tho

[green rover]

oof, some of my weapons are at like 280 despite being at 20 mastery

time to get to grinding i guess

[vocal nacelle]

upgrading single weapon to max takes around 3K plasteel

and 1K diamantine i think

[limber thicket]

You can get to 20 mastery way before reaching lvl 30, which is when you start getting the best deals in the Armory and Melk

[green rover]

yeah sounds like i should stop spending mats on new weapons if i'm also gonna have to empower all of them

[steep wagon]

I have a strange problem, I can not change the mark of my one weapon, with other weapons I can change only not this one

[little coyote]

what's the weapon's mastery rank

the marks are unlocked through that system

[steep wagon]

I know that

I want to change chainaxe from mark XII to mark IV

And I can't do that

I have 10 mastery on chainaxes

[little coyote]

I can't recall which rank unlocks which marks, but you could check the progress bar on that weapon type's mastery rank to see if the mark IV is later on the mastery tree

[steep wagon]

Rank 7 unlocks mark IV

But like I click button to equip mark IV but game don't change it

WAIT

I have bugged chainaxe

I mean I bought another chainaxe and I can change the mark

But I can't change the mark on the previous one

WTF

[little coyote]

yeah that is weird

did you have this weapon before the itemization update? I'm not sure if those could also switch marks like you can now

I could be wrong though

[steep wagon]

They can switch marks but yes I had this weapon before itemization update

WAIT

Is it possible that one weapon statistic can reach 0%?

[little coyote]

yeah

[steep wagon]

Hmm

So I have one bugged chainaxe in my inventory xD

I will keep it as a souvenir

[lime marten]

should i bring a class up to level 30 before switching/trying another one?

[silk spoke]

Nah just do what you feel like!!!

if you are bored of 1 just switch

I had 3 different characters with each a different class before i maxed out my 1st one

now the all level 30 and all that is left is the ogrin

Sooo we have a new form of rewards in the game.

But i cant get access to them

Like i did the new mission and i got 20k for that and i know from the patch notes there are more but where can i look in to them?

[wheat night]

Hold tab when in the Mourningstar and press E to cycle through pinned penances / weeklies and events

[silk spoke]

yeah so thats what i have been told but that isnt working for me... mhmmm ill reboot the game

could mods be screwing that up?

OMG I FORGOT I REBOUND TAB!!!!

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-anime-jfc-gif-19368854

[wheat night]

😅

[smoky ember]

they're automatically given to you

ohg

nvm

i see what u mean

[compact aspen]

are +17% toughness curios real?

[coral violet]

they exist

[compact aspen]

I'm beginning to lose faith lol

[coral violet]

you dont need toughness get stamina maxxing 💪

[compact aspen]

spent all my melk currency on curios and got several +3 stams and +21% health but the toughness eludes me

[silk spoke]

yeah i want 2 of those and i have 0 so far. And i also want 2 +3 stam but so far also eludes me, got 1 of the stam once

[cloud adder]

How does salvo work again?

[little coyote]

firing shots before the recoil resets

[coral violet]

consecutive shots before recoil reset kicks in

[cloud adder]

how to know when recoil resets? and if the weapon is full auto, can you just hold the button, like the one fanning revolver?

[coral violet]

you can but it will only boost 3 shots

this blessing is kinda ass you dont want it on your weapons

[cloud adder]

yeah, why is it even available for a weapon like RCON Lasgun?

[coral violet]

well what else?

its on iags too

next to power(strength)/unconditional damage ones lol

[zealous dome]

The heavy variants of recon and IAG can use it

Albeit not the most fun play style

[cloud adder]

what a dissapointment

well, it fits on my IA!
atleast, thanks :D!

[wheat night]

I bought one in the gun shop yesterday. First one i've seen since game launch

Just check the shop between games when it refreshes

Otherwise it's melk gambling

[cloud adder]

Ranged Finesse Strength from Marksman Focus, what does Ranged Finesse Strength do exactly?

[smoky ember]

weakspot hit and critical hit damage

[cloud adder]

Ah, thanks!

[smoky ember]

yeah, of course

finesse modifiers all affect weakspot and crit damage, and for marksmans focus, its exclusively for ranged damage

if u have any more questions, you can look in #veteran-class pins

theres a guide that goes into detail for everything about vet

[cloud adder]

yeah, I looked in the guide and searched for Ranged Finesse, dident find with the search it

[visual leaf]

Hi, I was wondering if the xp bonus in quickplay and on the curios is also boosting masteries xp ?

[lime idol]

Search “finesse”

[cloud adder]

Ah, thanks!

[eager basin]

pre crafting update

Anyways, peeps, can you sell curios? Or like what do I even do with all my old ones

[sinful summit]

Yes

[eager basin]

Buh

Where how

I dont recall

[limber thicket]

press X

[eager basin]

Discard is selling..?

Huh

Well dang, odd way to phrase that in-game, ngl^^ Thanks though peeps

Btw +2 max wound curios still arent a thing, ye? Just +1

[sinful summit]

They won't ever be a thing

[undone moth]

For zealot ds4 do i wanna run fury or ij

And what gun would be a nice pairing with it

[opal iron]

Could have sworn I used to have a +2 wound curio pre-locked and loaded

idk maybe it was stamina or something

[smoky ember]

there used to be, forever ago, +2 wound curios, but they only gave you one wound

[knotty vortex]

what doe sinpact do ?

[smoky ember]

sinpact?

do you mean impact?

[proud marsh]

Either of these worth grabbing?

[limber thicket]

This is from Melk right?

Wait till he offers yellow lvl500 weapons before wasting currency\mats, if so

[proud marsh]

👍 Thanks!

[wheat night]

Afaik, currently the curios primaries are +1-3 stam, +1 wound, up to +21% health and up to +17% toughness.

[ivory slate]

Hey, my electrokinetic staff is level 20, with 4 blessing points remaining but I can't choose any more trait points. Am I missing something?

[vocal nacelle]

its a bug

[wheat night]

It's the same for me too. I think it's a bug

[ivory slate]

I see, thanks.

[fiery stratus]

this good enough to fight twins on secret difficulty? ignore the flamer stats, they will be maxed out before i attempt

[vocal nacelle]

no

i think its wrong weapon set for twins

[fiery stratus]

i mean the knife does a ton of damage, the flamer i could see being not the best

[vocal nacelle]

You don't fight twins only, there's elite /special spawn per health checkpoint

[fiery stratus]

yeah the knife is more so for the twins themselves, flamer for the rest

[vocal nacelle]

Twins armor is flak/carapace

[fiery stratus]

good to know, went ahead and changed the perk

[vocal nacelle]

Rodin shield is weak to melee
Rinda shield is weak to ranged

Ranged like autogun/stubber/ripper gun

[full stone]

Yo is there a way to get max stat curios? Is the only way to just camp the shop and pray?

[sinful summit]

if you going pen flames, take blaze away instead of overpressure

[sinful summit]

basically, you can also farm them from missions, and if you hate yourself enough, gamble at melk

[verbal knot]

Hey so I'm trying to build out a weapon for the first time without youtube telling me what the best is, and I'm thinking of building out a tactical axe. For blessings, I was thinking Brutal Momentum and Headtaker, my dumpstat is mobility, 60%. What do y'all think?

Or should I go for more crit chance

[undone moth]

For ds4 do i run fury or ij and what gun goes well with it

[verbal knot]

With slaughter spree and brutal momentum

[undone moth]

Tac axe enjoys crit

Beyond that idk

[sinful summit]

id recommend shred and bm/ht
bm for horde clear, ht for single target, whichever you prefer

its the only weapon with 2 different stats affecting crit damage, so it is heavily reliant on them, so shred is definitely the way to go
mobility being the dump is also correct

[verbal knot]

I was looking at shred yeah

Wouldn't ss be better though for chaining?

[sinful summit]

the only things youre going to be one shotting are horde enemies, which is the only place where youll reliably chain that, which you can do without crits anyway

vs shred giving you 20% (and if youre zealot, 30% more even more reliably with scourge) more crit chance against the things the crits matter for, which are things like elites and bosses

[molten raven]

Does Lethal Proximity on BP work on any range shots or only point blank?

[verbal knot]

Alright and I'm pairing it with the Graia Vigilant Autogun, not for any particular reason I just like the gun, I'm thinking mobility dumpstat there as well

Though ammo doesn't seem TOO bad

[zealous dome]

All shots
And veteran grenades
And Zealots Crusher power attack

[verbal knot]

As for perks, I'm thinking Carapace and Maniacs to help out with the tougher swarm enemies.

I'm finding flak and unarmored to be just fine

Thoughts?

I just played a game with the tact axe and my Graia. And I did fairly well

[sinful summit]

if youre taking brutal momentum, this is exactly what you need, works well for the other but its more important in this case

carapace tbh only realistically covers like 2 enemies which arent even that common, and maniac covers dreg ragers and specialists (nearly all of which already take 3x damage from melee btw), so both youre not getting that much value out of

taxe when built for crit deals with carapace just fine

[hoary vessel]

I just realized I've had aim assist off from when i first played the game, is aim-assist used by most people or should i keep it off since im adjusted, wondering if it helps with smoothness because i cant tell

[rigid wasp]

Go decimator “Crit chance increase per hit” and head taker those are prob the only best blessings you need for the weapon

[undone moth]

wow ds4 zealot is crazy

[smoky ember]

wha

do u mean shred?

shred is crit chance per hit

[rigid wasp]

idk the names

yeah

[visual leaf]

Hi where I can see my event progression ?

[stoic iron]

hold tab on keyboard or select/touchpad on controller

and cycle through with e

[visual leaf]

Thanks mate !

[stray knoll]

where do i go to look at the seasons challenges?

[stoic iron]

wdym by seasons challenge

like penances and the "battle-pass" system they have tied to them or the current event

[zealous dome]

Aim assist will mess up your target priority since it'll most likely snap to the closest Groaners instead of the actual danger you're trying to shoot

[granite garden]

Is the armory bugged? I only get the Mk XIIIg chainsword.

I've bought enough to level assault to 20 but I don't think I got a single Mk IV

[stoic iron]

you can change between weapon marks in your inventory

[granite garden]

Huh?!?!

Elaborate

[lime idol]

In your weapon inventory, you’ll see an icon on top right called “marks”
You can swap marks within a weapon family in there

[stoic iron]

top right

[granite garden]

Thank you

[stray knoll]

how would i get the new frame is what i meant. I am used to vermintide's events where you have challenges to complete, and then you get a reward

I just assumed that since they are very similar games they would have the same event system

[stoic iron]

complete 10 missions with the mutated poxwalkers modifier I can't remember the exact term it uses

you can track your progress if you hold tab and cycle through with E

[stray knoll]

right, so nothing specific, just do the missions?

[stoic iron]

yup

[stray knoll]

alright, thank you!

[undone moth]

which heavy laspistol to use for the veteran

[smoky ember]

mk2 is better

higher DPS

i like the mk10, but the mk2 is objectively better

[undone moth]

maniac elite with ghost dumdum?

[smoky ember]

look in #veteran-class pins

there’s a guide

[undone moth]

i'll have to go crit and hit weakspots i'm guessin

[lime idol]

Works

[lime idol]

Pretty much

Desperado is a good pick as well

[undone moth]

i was thinking of using it for monstro dps and generic killing of special

[lime idol]

Infernus + desperado maybe
But u lose ghost which isn’t ideal

[undone moth]

meh then it's fine, i'll whip out my ds4

and poke the boss

do i bother with onslaught

[lime idol]

For Vraks V and Recon XII, maybe
Anything else, no

[rigid wasp]

Back again but much more sane.
I uh.. still have to get this shocking stuff penance done. It's about day 2 of voicing my opinion with rando's after getting temp chat banned for a day.
Got my guns up, got to 30. Incapability does things to a person

[lime idol]

The thought process should go smth like this

Do you have a strong anti-armor melee weapon?
Yes -> no onslaught
No -> Do you want a strong anti-armor melee weapon but it needs points into melee?
Yes -> no onslaught, spend the points on melee talents
No -> Do you have to run rapid fire weapons?
Yes -> Recon XII / Vraks V + onslaught
No -> Boltgun / Helbore IV + executioner’s stance

[undone moth]

no survivalist ds4 with heavy laspistol

demostockpile with krak

and the crit + ranged dmg boosts up top

veteran perk tree has so much good shit

it's so hard

[lime idol]

Just send a gameslantern build link

[lime idol]

Nah it’s easy

[rigid wasp]

Barely touched vet. Might just have to fully level one if they're that tailor made

[undone moth]

[lime idol]

Uh
Agile engagement is right there

I don’t think superiority complex changes breakpoints for these 2 weapons either, can safely drop

[undone moth]

wat that

[lime idol]

Top right above smoke

[undone moth]

oh i've never used this

[lime idol]

Drop 5% ranged damage & superiority complex, get 10% melee damage & agile engagement

[undone moth]

never tried a swap weapons style before

[lime idol]

It’s not rly a style thing

[undone moth]

does it just happen naturally in combat

[lime idol]

If you’re not a ranged-only veteran, yes

[undone moth]

i've been playing like that for a while since i love to use recon lasgun

alright thx, i shall go back to farming for a perfect stat plasma

[rigid wasp]

Looking at other places for info on this penance. It's either get 3 friends to baby sit a chaf horde or throw myself into the grinder to lose only but my mind to random's.
What a vicious cycle.
In what world do they expect to you prance around with this holier-than-thou level of patience

[fading plaza]

Easier to do in higher difficulty, I did it on damnation with stun nade and a flamer with randos

[rigid wasp]

Even in heresy it's rough.
Communicate that I need x
Ogryn stands directly on my pov for 80% of the game
Psyker shards ruin everything they touch
And veteran's usually just disregard or ignore my plea's

[smoky ember]

which penance

[rigid wasp]

Shocking stuff x-x

[smoky ember]

i can help u get it

itll take like 5 minutes lol

[verbal knot]

What's y'alls prefered dump stat on a Thunder Hammer, cause I got one with 60% crowd control. Thinking I turn it into a "Fuck this guy in particular" hammer

[sinful summit]

Defences is a more ideal dumpstat, because the dodge distance it changes is unnoticeable, but the attack speed that crowd control affects is, which you'll still want even if you're making a "fuck this guy" hammer

@verbal knot

[smoky ember]

epic reply fail

[sinful summit]

[mint knot]

lol, defense of course

finally got my hands on knife

and...uh...

why the hell a simple knife is THAT strong?

i put both bleed blessings on it and just smack enemies without proper aiming, not even focusing their heads

and everything just melts from bleeding

traits are "vs maniacs" and "+5% crit chance"

[limber thicket]

I saw gameplay of a knife. You'd think that thing is good vs single targets only but nope

can solo a horde with ease

[mint knot]

I KNOW

i just tried it

there is no common sense in that

i am afraid they will do something with bleed mechanics

[sinful summit]

Everything weak melts from bleeding, cuz they don't have much health to begin with, but the tougher stuff not so much, especially considering the bleed adms paired with the global cap of 16 stacks, roughly half of the cap of other DoTs
This coming at the cost of both of your blessing slots on a weapon that is absolutely loaded with amazing blessings, ones that can more than double it's ridiculous damage, for blessings that double down on a quite mediocre bleed, one of which requiring you to avoid heads on THE headshot weapon lol (it has a 2.5-3x headshot/crit multiplier)

[mint knot]

i know that it's a weak spot aimed weapon, but poking crushers a pair of times and going full block while watching them die from bleeding is more entertaining for me atm

what are meta blessings on knife anyway?

+WSD and?

nvm, googled it

[sinful summit]

Uncanny/riposte/precog on zealot
Uncanny and riposte/mercy killer (w/serrated blade) on vet
Uncanny and riposte/precog on psyker
Flak and unyielding for perks on basically all of them

[mint knot]

^

[sinful summit]

Yeah but ngl a decent chunk of info out there is frankly uh
Not great lmao

So i answered anyway

[smoky ember]

weakspot is bad

it’s not calculated the way you think it is

“if you deal 100 damage and 110 on crit, 10% crit damage makes you deal 111 damage on crit”

applies to both weakspot damage and crit damage

[mint knot]

tested right now in damnation run

ye, felt weird

not as curb-stomping as i expected

2 bleed blesses worked better than that

[smoky ember]

then ur doing something wrong

2 bleed blessings gives knife decent horde clear

but poor single target

[mint knot]

i dunno, i spam light attack on Crusher's knee and watch him bleed out

not super fast of course, but fun

yes, i am sadist

[smoky ember]

what difficulty are you on

[mint knot]

not auric damnation

[smoky ember]

just normal damnation?

[mint knot]

yes

[smoky ember]

bleed does like, 40 damage per tick to carapace

without uncanny

your bleed damage is contributing little, your teammates are likely doing most of the damage then

[mint knot]

don't know, maybe

gotta check simulacrum

[smoky ember]

it’s not maybe, it’s definitely lol

your heavy attacks have good damage into carapace

[mint knot]

i do some heavies of course

i meant i am not tryharding to kill crushers asap

[smoky ember]

your bleed is dealing insignificant damage to crushers

[mint knot]

ye, already checked

[smoky ember]

your bleed will help kill everything other than crushers

but if you want to kill crushers and maulers and bosses faster

you’ll want to take precognition or riposte (riposte if ur going for crits already)

more specifically, riposte and fleshtearer

lacerate is only good with uncanny

[hard wasp]

So is there an easy way to do the just a flesh wound penance?

[smoky ember]

twins or rolling steel

[mint knot]

ye, these are the ones i settled down for now

[smoky ember]

nice

[mint knot]

ye, sad, they still die mostly do charged headshots

😔

[smoky ember]

if you want to do bleed damage, take uncanny strike

as uncanny strike applies rending to everything

including your bleed damage

[mint knot]

1 sec please, i am calculating my crit chance

if it's high enough, i will just go FT+US

[smoky ember]

you can download a mod

show crit chance

just displays ur current crit chance

[mint knot]

will do that later

[smoky ember]

knife has an innate +15% crit chance btw, so 20% crit chance is ur default

plus scourge is 50, plus riposte is 70

plus blazing piety is 95%

[mint knot]

what's scourge again?

[smoky ember]

right side tree

on zealot

if ur talking about vet or psyker idk their crit chances

[mint knot]

zealot ye

[smoky ember]

but on zealot, scourge is crit chance on hitting a bleeding enemy

and your crits inflict bleed

[mint knot]

ah ye, i have it

[smoky ember]

it’s 10% per stack, up to 3 stacks

2 stacks of bleed per crit

[mint knot]

i have all of them

gotta change reposte for US and check

LMAO, i will settle down for that

[patent jasper]

how much -dodge distance% does carrying batteries while not ogryn give

[mint knot]

the penalty is so huge, that it's not worth dodging with battery in hands

[sinful summit]

Entirely untrue
You can still dodge attacks while carrying it, you just have to time it better
You can literally watch a mutant phase through you cuz you were in a dodge state when he passed lmao

Like yeah the dodges are worse but they still have dodge properties

[mint knot]

i didn't say it reduces invincibility frames

[sinful summit]

Yeah but you said it's not worth dodging with it

[mint knot]

if you, have, like, no options, ye, sure, dodge (what else u gonna do)
in other cases - drop battery, get rid of a problem, carry battery further

[gleaming mantle]

or just dodge/slide and let someone else deal with it so you can do obj faster so enemies stop spawning sooner

assuming ignoring the threat is possible and your teammates dealing with it is reasonable, which of course isnt always the case

[mint knot]

relying on a random teammate
i didn't know you are a comedian

[gleaming mantle]

you assume I play with randos

but fair lmao

[mint knot]

[gleaming mantle]

what does tab do on pc?

somebody said "looks like you finally found the tab key" wtf does that mean

[limber thicket]

pulls up the mission objectives and such, scoreboard too if you have it

[raven pike]

im i hallucinating but the modding channel is gone ? i got crash all the time

if i cant fix this i guess i will revert back to normal

[sinful summit]

there isnt a modding channel

there is a modding server

#📌communities message

[raven pike]

thanks

[hoary cedar]

Can you redistribute blessings on a weapon?

[mint knot]

any time u want

[hoary cedar]

How?

[mint knot]

1. Make sure it is at least purple quality
2. Make sure to unlock needed blessings in Mastery Menu (ESC -> Masteries -> Ur weapon)
   Then go to Hadron -> choose weapon -> Re-bless

[hoary cedar]

Thanks

[remote pasture]

Where are the "I came, I saw, I conquered" achievements? I can't find them in the penance list.

[sinful summit]

exploration tab, 3rd last one

[hard wasp]

What’s the name of the mission where you unlock the twins fight? With the bells?

[vocal nacelle]

Orthus offensive special assignment

The hard mode is damnation only hit the right side bell

[hard wasp]

Just trying to get bell skip so I can do the just a flesh wound penance

[vocal nacelle]

then search the darktide bell puzzle so you can unlock it first

or grab someone that already done it

[sinful summit]

Can also do it in rolling steel

[hard wasp]

Is rolling steel also special assignment? Or randomised mission?

[vocal nacelle]

random

[gusty whale]

rolling steel does kind of make it a lot easier

[swift sky]

where can i view my event teir progress for the current In-Game Event: The Grandfather’s Gifts?

[stoic iron]

hold tab and cycle through with E

[gleaming mantle]

just a flesh wound on hard mode twins? bold as hell. I'd wager rolling steel, or a couple friends willing to bomb rush with you, would do the trick better. I did it that way, we just rushed to final area ignoring all enemies

actually, try normal Orthus Offensive. it only goes like 18 minutes on average

[vocal nacelle]

18? It only took 7 minutes to do it

[naive shadow]

Can anyone help me get my Psyker penance? Need to deal 50% dmg to a monstrosity before it gets killed with brain burst in a private game

[gleaming mantle]

well going through the whole thing, and at a normal pace instead of a super speedy boss deleting sweat show pace

it's somewhat comfortably below 20 mins for most players even with all randos, so the hard part becomes beating it with only one wound

[glacial raptor]

To make sure I got my names right, on the twin stubbers, Gorgon is the heavy hitter, Achyls is the rapid fire, Krouk is the in betweener, right? I got a friend who wants a heavier hitting twin stub but also wants some more bullets than what the gorgon gives

Making sure I give him the right name

[upper bone]

Does this experience buff also apply to weapon mastery?

[smoky ember]

no, unfortunately

[upper bone]

They should do that, incentives players more to join mid lobbies

[sinful summit]

You already get so much from a damnation anyway
And crafting mats are already incentive enough for quickplay

[upper bone]

Fair

[sinful summit]

Plus joining mid mission is already just less time spent for the same reward

[pulsar acorn]

is anyone having this weird lighting, it's the first time this map looks like this

seems weird to me

[paper haven]

I've seen this when its low visibility modifier on certain maps.

[stoic locust]

Any special modifiers or mods?

[pulsar acorn]

mmm not sure didn't saw the modifyers probably what daemon says about low vission

[sinful summit]

Vent purg with specific graphics settings on smelter complex makes it look just very brown

It just makes you enter the poop dimension on this map specifically

[swift sky]

Thankyou ❤️

[smoky ember]

silent hill otherworld

[vernal plaza]

5 on heresy, you actually need to kill them slower

[upper temple]

So how does the chainsword work in darktide?

[signal gate]

normal attacks are good vs unarmored and infested, rev'd attacks good vs flak, maniac and unyielding and alright vs carapace armor

[upper temple]

Ah okay

[lime idol]

Unarmored & infested horde clear one trick unless you’re zealot

[upper temple]

Alr

[hard wasp]

How come I never see rolling steel in the missions? Anyone wanna help me with my silly zealot penance 😖

[abstract beacon]

What are good veteran weapons to use against the Twins

[vocal nacelle]

pocket ogryn

[vocal nacelle]

depends your "role"
chainsword rev attack can break rodin shield fast
combat knife for high mobility melee and can kill crusher spawn

combat axe for balanced horde/elite killing

vraks infantry autogun to break rinda shield fast

[abstract beacon]

Ah alright then

[vocal nacelle]

are you trying normal twins or the hard mode?

[upper temple]

BOLT PISTOL (I haven’t played it yet)

[abstract beacon]

The damnation mode

[vocal nacelle]

normal damnation should be easier

you can respawn

[abstract beacon]

Ye, currently I’m using a Chain sword and plasma gun

I feel like I spend more time cooling down the gun than shooting it tho

[vocal nacelle]

you can "vent" by pressing the weapon special

[abstract beacon]

Ah ok

[coral violet]

is dreg captain head flak?

[void forge]

The captains have cara heads last I checked

[sinful summit]

Only the twins do

Normal assassination captains have only flak

But the dreg captains what they're asking about, the one on the train
And gameslantern hasn't updated to show yet

[vocal nacelle]

can spawn dreg captain on psykanium

[smoky ember]

they’re either unarmored or unyielding heads
