[smoky ember]

idk which

i wanna say unarmored though

i just feel like it’s unarmored

i can check when i get home

[signal gate]

I wouldn’t take plasma, low ammo and slow. Something like a Vraks infantry autogun to blast down the captains when the shield breaks

[young yacht]

Is the insane amounts of Beasts of Nurgle supposed to be like that, or is it just the spawning ai tweaking out?

[smoky ember]

the event modifier, mutated horrors, causes burgle spawns much more often

similarly to monstrous specials

[young yacht]

So not only are there the 'splodey ones, but also 6 - 8 spawns on a diff 4 mission, I thought this wasnt supposed to be a power fantasy game

[smoky ember]

lmfao

[zealous dome]

Don't worry
BoNs usually screw games

All those weird damage taken modifiers

The area denial

The death sentences

[smoky ember]

[zealous dome]

You'll feel like you went through shit

Lmao

[young yacht]

when its so much even the game says nope and refuses to render it

[zealous dome]

Gunners will tear you apart even harder without the resist

[gusty whale]

Super Bonbon Mode is one of the modifiers of all time

heretics exploding when shot? what?

[smoky ember]

wha

[zealous dome]

It was here a second ago

[smoky ember]

i shmee

[smoky ember]

https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/j3PqRh6yXaunM9PbX

this is the best ad for gunner res

(this clip i’m using gunner res)

[spice shadow]

I think you mean this is the best ad for rock

mutant no problem, gunner bonked, day saved

[urban atlas]

Is there a place to look at what mods are available for this game so I could pick and choose?
follow up question, where could I get one to add the hit bar to enemies that I keep seeing in videos

thanks in advance for any answers

[smoky ember]

darktide nexus

[paper haven]

#📌communities message

[smoky ember]

and that mod is called healthbars

[urban atlas]

thankyou :)

[timid holly]

how long until we get a new speacial assignment?

[lime idol]

Probably next update since they’re teasing story

[timid holly]

its been the same one since I started plalying darktide

[timid holly]

o i c

[sinful summit]

I don't think anythings been confirmed on what exactly it is tho
So we dunno of it's a special assignment or not

[patent jasper]

for mutated horrors does the noodle heads actually change the armor type for melee or is it only interacting with ranged weapons

[stoic locust]

Nope

Mutations hard as carapace

[smoky ember]

only ranged weapons (including throwing knives)

[tame sphinx]

Hello guys, im kinda new to the game, I was just wondering how or where do I complete the missios from The Grandfather Gifts?

[patent jasper]

Any mission with the "mutated horrors" modifier will progress the quests, you simply need to complete 10 games with the modifier for all the rewards"

[tame sphinx]

Oh I see, thank you very much

bored, wanted to see how far away 'close range' is, or the edge of it at 30m

and to that crusher is the edge of 'close range'

(close range does not seem very close)

[zealous sapphire]

haven't played in a long time

are emperor's gifts still limited to a set amount weekly?

can snipers still shoot through shield ogryns to hit players behind the ogryn?

[smoky ember]

no, and no

emperors gifts are now every game

[zealous sapphire]

cool, I remember getting beamed when taking cover behind a shield ogryn back then

nice to know that's not the case anymore

[limber thicket]

melee range is 8m iirc

[cedar grotto]

8m is coherency range

[quiet moat]

Steam event page says that if you complete the "last tier" of the event you get the new portrait. Where are these Tiers? How do you complete them? I'm confused

[stoic locust]

the tiers are just rewards for x number of missions with the modifer completed, up to 10

[quiet moat]

Oh so it's gotta be completed 10 times?

[stoic locust]

10 missions with the modifier, yes

[quiet moat]

Bet. Thanks.

The Emporer protects

[limber thicket]

Go in the grinder and test how long the "melee" range for Ogryn's Delight In Destruction talent is
It's crazy how big it is

[cedar grotto]

oh yeah also. The knife, if you hold down left click and immediately hold down right click, it does a block it looks like but different than the regular block. does that actually do anything or

[cedar grotto]

oh, that. lol

[limber thicket]

I don't know if this is the same for all the other "melee" range on abilities, since it's a fatshark game afterall

[cedar grotto]

or rather, if you do a move that has the reverse knife grip, it does a reverse block apparently. From a regular grip, a regular block.

but as far as i can tell that seems to just be a visual cool thing

[signal gate]

close range is 12.5m

8m is coherency base

[smoky ember]

purely visual

does a neat flip when u stop blocking though

[cedar grotto]

man i want a switchblade now :p

[sinful summit]

like they said, its purely visual, but more specifically its to preserve the flow of the movement between attacks
power swords have a similar thing, where the animation of activation is different depending on where in the combo you are, so it flows smoothly and makes sense visually

thats something they actually work really hard on lmao

like it wouldnt make sense for your block to have the knife pointed one direction when you had just stabbed something with the blade pointed the other direction in your hand less than a half second prior

[smoky ember]

but still no unique inspect for knife when it’s held backwards

sad

[weak ice]

anyone can tell me what i am doing wrong while doing nothing but the abys penance on zealot? need 1 more, but its not working

[smoky ember]

which penance is that?

[weak ice]

heal up to 75 percent by the holy revenant feat

[smoky ember]

if you haven’t gotten it, it may be bugged

the way i got it was just using melee, you get significantly more healing from melee than ranged with holy rev

[weak ice]

i mean i only need 1 more, dont know how i got the other 24, but since im trying to do it on purpose, its not working

[smoky ember]

ohg i shmee

maybe try using a thunder hammer?

the healing calculated is based on the damage of your attacks, not how much health you remove

so using a thunder hammer for a really high damage hit may do better

thammer, dueling sword, or knife

[weak ice]

and i asume, i should get damaged while the effect is on right?

[smoky ember]

doesn’t matter if you do, you’re entirely immune to damage in it

[weak ice]

aight i gonna try that

better to achieve against hordes or elites

[smoky ember]

as long as you get a lot of damage off, so for hordes just heavy spam, for elites, try your empowered (special) attack

[dreamy dawn]

where can i see challenges progress for grandfather gifts event?

[limber thicket]

"Tab" on the morningstar

[dreamy dawn]

ty!

[modest tangle]

where do you see your full stats like hp, toughness, crit chance etc..?

[smoky ember]

https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/152

there’s also a mod called showcritchance

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

which shows ur crit chance in game

so u can see it changing

[modest tangle]

it's crazy that this is not ingame already

thanks@smoky ember

[smoky ember]

yeah of course

[dreamy wedge]

Genuine question: as someone who mainly plays in a closed circle with friends, why is the general community consensus wound curio = bad? Whenever I get 2-wound wonder randoms, the question is when, not if, they are going down and then alt+f4ing, and just now I had an utterly miserable auric maelstrom with 2 psykers that each had 2 wounds, kept going down, and inhaled every single medicae on sight to the point that I couldn't get any healing until the final one with guaranteed 4 pips. Reddit downvoted me to 6 feet under.

Why wound curio = bad?

[smoky ember]

wounds let you go down more times

why would you want to go down more times, when you can instead just not go down with toughness or health curios

also, on auric damnation, going down can often be a death sentence

so it wouldn’t matter how many wounds you have, you’ll die anyway sometimes

one wound curio is okay

but not great either imo

personally, i just run all toughness curios

[dreamy wedge]

One wound curio is all I'm asking for

You would go down more times because I swear, man who needs to call himself king anyone who announced out loud how they are too good to add more wounds, is not good enough to do it. I would like to grab some healing, but it's literally like "oh I brought an extra wound so I need to skip this medicae because the 2 wound wonder went down and needs healing. Oh, he needs healing again, guess I'm skipping another medicae. Oh he needs healing again, guess I'm skipping another medicae." and that's just not fun...

[smoky ember]

what difficulty do you play on?

[dreamy wedge]

And, I play pretty much exclusively on auric damnation. People going down is not the death sentence the community makes it out to be.

[smoky ember]

i play exclusively auric damnation, i rarely see that at all lol

[dreamy wedge]

Oof

How do you get these absolute machines that so efficiently move forward and clear everything in the way without missing a beat, I want in too

[smoky ember]

maybe i’m just that absolute machine lmfao

[smoky ember]

what servers are you on?

i’m US east

and people just, don’t talk much

[dreamy wedge]

Yeah but I am not

[dreamy wedge]

EUW

[smoky ember]

ah, yeah, EU pubs suck lol

@vapid dew can attest

[dreamy wedge]

I'm not good enough to not need healing unless I'm thoroughly sweating my balls off

Which the last run I did, I had to

[smoky ember]

lmfao

[dreamy wedge]

Two psykers on 2 wounds each, inhaling every medicae on sight. Didn't get any healing until the last medicae with guaranteed 4 pips, and there I pretty much zoomed to it because fuck.

(Was Martyr Zealot so I had some wiggle room)

[smoky ember]

lmfao

yeah

pubs moment

[smoky ember]

marty zealot is nice for that

i don’t run martyrdom tbh

not often, anyway

but marty is the only thing i run wound curios with

[dreamy wedge]

I run +1 wound on every non-ogryn build (not that I have a lvl 30 ogryn...) and I've forced my friends to always bring +1 wound just so we can spare healing for the inevitable "pro" that will go down between every medicae. It'd borderline hilarious how annoyed I am at those because they appear in my life so consistently.

[vocal nacelle]

Neveeeeer

[dreamy wedge]

Go on, take the next medicae. You are on your last wound. (...) go on, take the next medicae. You are on your last wound. (...) go on, take--

[vocal nacelle]

i got barreled more often than i got downed

another reason why getting numeric UI mod is good so you can roughly guess what curio pubs have

base health + base toughness = 3x stamina curio

[dreamy wedge]

Emperor bless

I don't want to tell the Burger King Corpse Starch employee that they put pickles in my burger that I didn't ask for, I couldn't imagine inconveniencing people by demanding more medicae than absolutely necessary

[vocal nacelle]

my opinion is the maximum limit for wound curio you can take is 1, more than that i will label the random that taking 3 wound curio as sandbag unless you are playing martyrdom zealot

[dreamy wedge]

Eh, I am a bit agitated by the last run specifically

I'm sure that there are people who are so good that they can genuinely do 2 wounds. I don't think I am one of them.

The two psykers I just had to carry were not good enough to do it.

[vocal nacelle]

it is better to take balanced toughness curio and health than wound if you are good

and learn to dodge

[dreamy wedge]

Imagine dodging

Gotta take that crusher overhead like a man

My vehement hatred and burning spirit is my shield

[vocal nacelle]

the ***"my face is my shield" *** player is always welcomed to stare at the ground

[dreamy wedge]

Lul

I am likely picking him up. And he's likely inhaling the next medicae.

[coral pewter]

Please, tips for the On Overwatch penance

I’ve tried lotta things but it’s always when hordes come that I fail it

Also can I not take melee damage whatsoever or can I take toughness damage

[smoky ember]

if you’re at 100% toughness, the first hit is fully absorbed by toughness, and will not break the penance

so basically, no health damage from melee

[coral pewter]

ohh so we can take toughness damage nice

ty

even then, still how

[rigid wasp]

If the toughness tanks the hit, VoC with TA and zarona is a good pick

The longer you keep yourself at full or yellow, the better

[coral pewter]

voice of command with what and what

[smoky ember]

tactical axe and the zarona revolver

don’t use tac axe on vet

just use a rashad

rashad, or power sword

[rigid wasp]

tactical awareness

[smoky ember]

oh

close enough

oe pee combos

[rigid wasp]

NOOOOOOOO

[full stone]

Does the rating on curios do anything? I have max stated Stamina with max perks and it's 430 rating. I have a similarly max stats toughness curio and it's 410.

[signal gate]

not really no

[fluid sand]

What's the difference between standard maelstrom and auric maelstrom? Is it just the mission difficulty level is higher or what?

[signal gate]

auric maels is usually, if not always t5.

and tends to have more modifiers

standard maelstrom can range t3-t5 and tends to have less modifiers

[full stone]

tyty

[timid holly]

is getting max gear levels the same as vermintide?

Like that whole weird keep crafting items until u hit max level type beat?

[vocal nacelle]

nope

just get to lvl 30

[timid holly]

Because from my understanding, weapons base highest power should be like 350 to 380, then you keep leveling it. But im getting yellow tier weapons around those power levels. So should I be upgrading grey tier items that are 350 to 380?

Right ^

[vocal nacelle]

you can upgrade the weapon stat depending on your weapon mastery (level)

[timid holly]

whiich is max 20

So should I requisition my gear? Or just str8 up buy the weapon from the vendor

I havent touched any of my currencies besides my money since I started playing

[vocal nacelle]

end game weapon hunting, you just need to find the right dump stat

only buy like 10 ish grey weapon

[stuck rose]

Anyone down to help with the Malleus Monstronum penance?

Im just trying to get some drip, and I need 3ish people to form a private strike team so I can brain burst a monstrosity to death

[timid holly]

in the youtube video im watching the guy can see the base rating of items

but in my game i dont see it

is it a mod on his end or something?

[stoic locust]

Outdated

Pre UnL

[upper temple]

What’s the best roll for the bolt pistol???

[timid holly]

So I cant see the base rating anymore?

[upper temple]

Also what’s the best roll for the chain sword??

[vocal nacelle]

yes

[vocal nacelle]

in this case you want shock maul that have 80% in all stat except mobility 60% ( the dump stat)

[sinful summit]

this is your base rating
the number itself really doesnt matter to you besides how far it is from 500, and when it is at 500
because it goes up by 10 every time you empower the base stats, up to 500 when the base stats are maxxed

the number is only related to the base stats

[timid holly]

So 500 is the max?

[sinful summit]

yes, thats when your stats will be at the maximum

[timid holly]

Oh cool

[sinful summit]

380% distributed across your stats

[timid holly]

I was worried I was doin it wrong

Sounds gud

[ebon tulip]

I am returning player. Played when there were no trees. I got slapped with skill tree, new crafting, new items and some weird exp-gated weapons upgrades. Any way to understand what's going on? Where should I start? I am overhelmed and my lvl30 char means nothing. I don't want to jump in with random people and drag them down now knowing WTF is going here.

[smoky ember]

weapons can now be leveled up by their mastery, so each weapon family can reach level 20, which allows you to unlock blessings and empower weapons, increasing their base stats

you can now switch blessings, perks, and the mark, of weapons freely, and you can see the mastery tab in your inventory

i’d recommend just started with a weapon you like, leveling it to 20, and then moving to the next

[ebon tulip]

I liked using one of the autoguns / laser sniper rifle, but sniping worked good when I had teammates. With random people it can be irritating. Any all-around weapon recommendation? Meele and ranged. From melee I was using axes (tactical and another one), some shovel.

[limber thicket]

ask aroudn in the class channels, I don't think there's a universal answer for all

I like recon lasgun personally for ranged

[smoky ember]

all around melees are rashad combat axe (which is currently OP), power sword (similarly OP), shock maul (much weaker),

[stray knoll]

whats the difference between the regular missions and auric missions?

I played a couple on heresy and doesn't really feel much different to the regular one

unless I'm missing somthing

[smoky ember]

they all have difficulty increasing modifiers (hi intensity, shock troop gauntlet, hunting grounds, etc), and innately have a higher tension modifier

basically meaning they have more enemies, denser hordes, more elites

more specials

etc

but enemy health stays the same

[stray knoll]

ah, i see

I did play one mission that had the lights out modifier, but couldn't tell the difference when it came to the enemy

[stray knoll]

thanks for the info

[pallid moss]

Whats with the heavy las pistol? I see a bunch of builds using it and I really dont see what advantages it has over any other gun

[vocal nacelle]

on what class

[limber thicket]

fast to switch to, very precise, lots of ammo

big deeps

but it's not fun to fire

[spice shadow]

the slow firing las pistol trades dps for being cooler if you want that

[pallid moss]

I see it on Psyker and Zealot mostly

[vocal nacelle]

psyker laspistol weapon special is aoe shove

on zealot/psyker you can play crit with it

[frigid quartz]

Anyone down to help me with the Malleus Monstronum pls? I have a decent shield Ogryn to trade the Penance 🙂

[chilly jungle]

Hi there, im pretty new to darktide and enjoying it alot, about the start on damnation diffuclty, i want to setup my key binds so it feels right. the thing i was need abit help on is the movement in the Input settings. like hold to crouch/sprint. stationary dodge, always dodge and dodge on diagonal. anyone got some recommended settings there ?

[lime idol]

A lot of this is preference, but make sure u have jump & dodge on 2 different keybinds (both are useful) if u don’t want to use a mod for it

This is so u can have precise control over dodges instead of accidental jumps

[rigid wasp]

I personally recommend dodge and jump together, then using Stop Accidental Jumps. Stationary dodge is a no for me, I don't remember what always dodge does, and dodge on diagonal is pretty useful but probably preference

[modest tangle]

so apaprently the healthbars mod doesn't work well and ha not beren updated? I was thinking about installing it

[vocal nacelle]

Did you get DMF and mod loader the required mod? Health bar works fine for me

[trim quarry]

i noticed something popped up with that last update to darktide
it was someting along the lines of reccomended settings but i cant access it
it showed my type of gpu and then it said it was on medium settings
now my game wont even run past 60 fps

[timid holly]

Whats the max level for curios?

Because you cant rlly buy them from the shopkeeper with a random roll like guns and stuff

You can only requisit them. And I see numbers all over the place

is it also 500?

[glad bramble]

Is there a way to tell what kind of enemies are on a mission?

[patent jasper]

Highest I’ve seen is 420 personally, and the max roll is 21% hp, 17% toughness, and 3 stamina

[lime idol]

outside of maelstrom missions that specify "scab faction", no

[rigid wasp]

hey does someone know what day the store gets updated?

[vocal nacelle]

per 2 weeks

next rotation is next week

[rigid wasp]

buuuut not in the next 24h?

ah ok thx

[vocal nacelle]

i dont really remember

[glad bramble]

Thanks.

[rigid wasp]

i just sold a metric shit ton of cards and tf2 crates cause i badly want that dead persons hand trinket xD

but steams telling me i gotta wait 1-2 days for me money

god the joke potential of that trinket

[vocal nacelle]

depends on the next rotation

[rigid wasp]

hehehe

that trinkets gonna come in handy

[zealous dome]

21st

[rigid wasp]

thx bb

gotta hand it to discord these game servers are so useful if u have question

[vernal plaza]

Karnak twins too, though nobody plays it

[rigid wasp]

is critical weakspot damage generally when u hit a weakspot?

also what does suppressing do?

[little coyote]

critical weakspot damage is when you get a critical hit when also hitting a weakspot

[rigid wasp]

darn

[little coyote]

suppressing makes enemies flinch and duck for cover when fired upon

when it happens to you, your aim flinches to a random direction

[worn wharf]

No, critical weakspot damage is when you Score a Crit on a weakspot.
Suppression makes ranged enemies cower in fear when bullets fly near them or hit them. It needs to add up over multiple bullets though.
You can also be suppressed yourself making your vision blurry and punching your aim around

[rigid wasp]

"suppress enemies within 6m radius on closerange kill" means they kinda staggered near you?

[vocal nacelle]

flinched, cowered state

[worn wharf]

Yep, that Talent even works on some non ranged enemies

[rigid wasp]

probs only the weak ones tho eh?

[worn wharf]

I think so, it's been a while since I've used it. I'm pretty sure crushers, maulers and ragers are immune at least

[rigid wasp]

hmmm boltpistol it is

[worn wharf]

But I might be wrong, give it a shot

[rigid wasp]

also wich one where the elites again? the lmg guys and shotgunners for example, right?

thx for the help btw

[vocal nacelle]

Hordes and gunner/shooter

[vocal nacelle]

Elites = fancy equipment /high damage

Mauler, rager, crusher, shotgunner, gunners , bulwark

[rigid wasp]

hmmmm is bleed worth anything for anything other than bosses?

[vocal nacelle]

depends, what class and vs what

[rigid wasp]

on boltpistol ^^'

[vocal nacelle]

carapace type is pretty much immune to bleed unless you have rending properties

[vocal nacelle]

its good if you shoot at disabler/gunners

[rigid wasp]

i mean.... those prob dont take more than two shots from the bolters anyways :P

alsoooo uuuh those stats with the yellow bars on a weapon, can they all get too 100%?

cause so far i thought u couldnt get them higher than with rank500

[vocal nacelle]

80% max

and 1 60% (dump stat)

[rigid wasp]

ah

can they all get to 80% at the same time? cause the rank500 one im looking at rn only has two 80s

ah wait the max on each stat is different from every weapon right?

[vocal nacelle]

it looked like this

[rigid wasp]

hmmm so u do gotta have luck on the max stat

[vocal nacelle]

you can upgrade the stat to 80, just need to roll few times for stat distribution like that

at max upgrade you get 4 80% , 1 60%

[rigid wasp]

cant get around the 60?

hmmm my 500 shotgun only has one 80, two 79, one 74 and a 68.... does it... does it get evenly distributed?

[vocal nacelle]

yes

[rigid wasp]

oooooof

[vocal nacelle]

in total will be 380

its just min maxing the weapon

[rigid wasp]

i huh... i remember that number from when i first startet playing when it came out

[vocal nacelle]

yea pretty much that, FS just removed the base rating

[rigid wasp]

i see

also happy cause my fav chainaxe does have a good distribution and an 80 on shredder whatever the hell thats supposed to mean

man if they ever add any turtles to the game theyre in for a bad time

[little coyote]

inspecting the weapon and hovering over the stat shows everything that stat bar affects

[rigid wasp]

hmmm cant decide tho... boltpistol or boltgun, cause they feel the same

[little coyote]

I've enjoyed bolt pistol quite a bit recently, faster than a bolter makes it more fun

[rigid wasp]

yea was drawn to it cause its newer :p

wait is the reload quicker on pistol?

[little coyote]

considerably

[rigid wasp]

pistol it is

[signal gate]

boltgun is used either as a dmr or magdump weapon

boltpistol is used more of a side arm, or grenade booster (lethal proximity affects all explosions, even if the weapon isn't drawn)

[little coyote]

oh didn't know that

but I don't really play vet so the grenade bonus doesn't really help

[rigid wasp]

oh im on zealot rn

names skeletor (cause i got that white skullmask)

used to be named HEman but im on my villain arc

[signal gate]

Yea outside of veteran, only uhh

Immo nades and crusher maul benefit from lethal proximity

[rigid wasp]

was gonna put gloryhunter and surgical as perks on the pistol

[little coyote]

I see

[signal gate]

Though i will say, 25% larger activated L1 explosions is very funny

[signal gate]

Nah

[rigid wasp]

for survivabilty and if i REAAAALLY need smth dead

[signal gate]

Do puncture + run and gun or surgical

Zealot doesn’t need survival on side arm

[little coyote]

Puncture is real nice yeah

Think you can dome a mutant and it will bleed out after one hit (or two)

[signal gate]

You need breakpoints so you can swap, shoot something and always kill it, and swap back

[rigid wasp]

u sure that dmg over time is good if most enemies dont even live 10 seconds in a fight?

[signal gate]

A single shot low ammo pistol breakpoints is absolutely core

[rigid wasp]

hmmm so whats the combat tactic with puncture? and what enemies is it best for?

[signal gate]

Puncture puts basically all the non ogryn elites on your oneshot one kill breakpoint, then run and gun to synergize with the close ranged damage zealot talent, or surgical for more consistent

[rigid wasp]

hmmm

[signal gate]

Run and gun also reduces sway at all times, even while suppressed by enemy range

Lethal proximity is good for immolation nades and crusher but isn’t needed for most zealot builds

[little coyote]

was lethal proximity explosion radius or damage

or something else

[rigid wasp]

i mean... ill be honest my chainaxe takes good and quick care of any melee enemy :p
i really only need my ranged for ranged enemies or if the boss spamms melees my way

hence why i want a high dmg ranged thats accurate like bolt, really neat if i onehit any ranged guy

buuuut i mean if we talking about a firefighter with cover and all, if it doesnt die from the initial impact will bleed kill it quickly after?

[lime idol]

It’s not sway, it’s Hipfire spread reduction (-30%) & faster sprint to fire

[lime idol]

Lethal prox does not affect zealot grenades iirc, I could be wrong

[signal gate]

Reduces sway at all times

It has 3 sentences/affects

[rigid wasp]

i mean ill be honest i havent met a ranged unit on auric damnation that tanked a crit from a boltrifle :p

[signal gate]

You can Hipfire with this weapon while Sprinting. +6-15% Close Damage while Sprinting. Also reduces weapon spread at all times by 30%.

[rigid wasp]

aaand thats what im looking for ^^'

[lime idol]

It is not sway

[signal gate]

15% close damage synergizes with zealot close range damage

[signal gate]

Spread my bad

Spread at all times

[lime idol]

-30% spread and instant sprint to fire

[signal gate]

And close damage

That synergizes with zealot close damage

Anyways

Argument against gloryhunter

[lime idol]

I’m not sure if Run&gun sends u over any 1 taps on zealot

[signal gate]

As a zealot your main forms of toughness generation is melee kills/melee combat, ability use, and with the second wind talent, dodging

[rigid wasp]

gloryhunter works well with any class tho

tier 4 atleast

[lime idol]

Gloryhunter is not bad it’s just that zealot usually doesn’t need that
Especially on a gun that really wants to maximize its 1 tap potential

[rigid wasp]

i like it since it makes me able to take a little risk when im in a gunfight :p

[signal gate]

It doesn’t

Every class has great toughness generation

And jalf of the time you shoot something, you’ll be full toughness cause you are pulling up

Oneshots will prevent more damage than gloryhunter protects from

[rigid wasp]

would be neat if they buffed it a bit that u can get half of it as overheal

[signal gate]

Basically no class takes gloryhunter

[rigid wasp]

gosh darn

[lime idol]

The only cases where gloryhunter is actually good are
plasma gun on veteran
grenadier gauntlet for ogryn

[signal gate]

Im not going to get into piss toughness

[vocal nacelle]

Vet sometimes takes it

[rigid wasp]

dont worry you dont have to

[signal gate]

Doesn’t it have 2 power blessings now?

[lime idol]

Rising heat is a good alternative (can help with some breakpoints), but gloryhunter makes u practically invulnerable even without VoC active

[signal gate]

Like, for a weapon with 50 base /100 charged cleave, hyper dense maps iust means even more ridic plays

[rigid wasp]

but yea gloryhunter works well for me, i uuuuuh take most dmg from ranged enemies so getting that back while fighting them really helps me ^^'

[signal gate]

Take second wind

Dodge a single trash shooter burst fire

45% toughness back

Also slide more

You aren’t sliding enough

[signal gate]

I have double power on mine currently but plasma is boring

And bistol nades is fun

[rigid wasp]

wait..... you can slide to dodge gunshots????????

[signal gate]

No you can just

Dodge gunshots for toughness with second wind

But sliding avoids gunfire yes

[lime idol]

Blaze away wants optimized cooling to pair with it

[rigid wasp]

ill be damned

[signal gate]

You should be sliding all the time when not currently in melee combat

[lime idol]

That’s more of an exaggeration, it has a 0.5s internal CD

[signal gate]

Extends stamina bar, conserves sprint momentum, and stops most ranged from hitting you besides the rare love tap inbetween slides at 0 stamina

[signal gate]

Yes

[sinful summit]

??

theres the .5s internal cooldown

[signal gate]

Yes

Exaggeration

Sorry ill tag it next time

[sinful summit]

[signal gate]

It’s 30% toughness a second with a weapon with good dodges

Take it

And don’t feel bad

[sinful summit]

i will never play a zealot build without second wind

[signal gate]

Vets had confirmed kill at 50% total toughness

With the toughness overtime stacking infinitely

So never feel bad

[void forge]

Don't forget the 75% tdr that they still have

[sinful summit]

50%

its while above 75% hp

[coral violet]

is iron will still bugged with golden toughness?

[sinful summit]

define bugged

[coral violet]

it didnt apply when you had overtoughness

so some sources actually dealt more damage if you had both overtoughness and iron will than just having iron will

[prime mason]

What is 'Strength'?

[late valley]

What power used to be called
Buffs damage, cleave and impact (which is stagger strength)

[prime mason]

Thank you!

[cursive escarp]

I feel like kinda dumb but could someone help me understand how builds work more? I have no idea what I'm doing lol

[lime idol]

What class

[cursive escarp]

all of them but ogrin LOL

like i dont understand rending, armor or any of that its so weird

[patent jasper]

Rending is a buff that’ll just generally increase dmg by reducing armor effectiveness , brittleness is the same but as a debuff to enemies.

[cursive escarp]

oooooh

[lime idol]

I have a very detailed guide for veteran that also explains a lot of game mechanics

[cursive escarp]

oooh ok is it in the pinned?

[lime idol]

Yea

[cursive escarp]

ill look at that

[smoky ember]

there’s a mod, better descriptions, which tells you what keywords do

[cursive escarp]

:O

[smoky ember]

https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/210

[cursive escarp]

now i gotta learn to do that

[smoky ember]

also gives more in depth explanations of talents (and how they actually work)

[smoky ember]

it’s not hard, you need these 2 mods first

most every mod is on nexus

[lime idol]

Not very accurate

[smoky ember]

how so

they’re more accurate than the games default ones

[lime idol]

Yes, just not perfectly accurate

[toxic glen]

do curio perks stack? i want to put the experience perk on my three curios to level faster but i don't know if the perks work like that

[spice shadow]

yes they do

idk how they calculate, I think its additive for +xp

[patent jasper]

curio perks such as dmg reduction are multiplicative for a max of like 50% if you have 3 on

[spice shadow]

pretty sure that's only for reductions

[foggy pollen]

Anyone got any tips on how to do "On Overwatch" Penances

#veteran-class message

[odd bay]

What blessings should I pick on the Heavy Laspistol?

[lime idol]

ghost/desperado/dum dum for veteran & zealot
dum dum + infernus for psyker

[odd bay]

Groovy.

[dry nova]

Does sliding count as dodging for things like repost and preconception?

[lime idol]

yes, only against ranged attacks (excluding gunners & reapers) tho

[shell shoal]

is there a way to force host a new game instead of joining one in progress... if I am trying to get a certain achievement done that requires me to play a full mission, then joining one in progress automatically disqualifies me, so is useless to me

[void forge]

Make a private game. You need another person for this though

[shell shoal]

well shoot

I don't care about private, I just want to host so I know I am present at the start of the session

[void forge]

Well the only other way I could think of is using the MMT mod

[shell shoal]

interesting

[frosty tendon]

any way/place i can check for commodore's vestures without having to launch the game?

[late valley]

#darktide-driptide

[fluid sand]

current rotation or entire catalogue?

[frosty tendon]

Current would be great! 🙂

[fluid sand]

Ya driptide cannel or reddit would be the best bet then. The current rotation added last week hasn't been added to the fandom wiki

but the catalogue is on the wiki

[rigid wasp]

hey uuuh do i unlock higher perk tiers by finding a weaponm with it?

think it used to be like that right?

[fluid sand]

nah that's changed, used to be that way tho

now u level up the weapon by sacrificing greens (or higher) of that weapon type or by playing games w/ that weapon equipped to lvl it up

[rigid wasp]

oh i thought u only unlocked the ability to upgrade its rank and get the blessings

i didnt see anything about perks there

[fluid sand]

oh I thought u meant blessings, but ya perks are the same except they unlock a bit earlier

[rigid wasp]

ah ok so gotta buy a bunch of boltpistols and upgrade them pog

[fluid sand]

ya only up to green tho. each wep sacrificed is about one game's worth of xp, roughly. Think it's around 10k mastery or something

[rigid wasp]

also uuuuh maniacs were the beserker guys right? but what are the unyielding ones? like any enemy that doesnt flinch or what?

[fluid sand]

maybe 1500 or 15k I dont remember

unyeilding is bosses and ogryn. maniacs are ragers and maybe flamers too?

[rigid wasp]

ah ok so i was right

wasnt sure tho thx

god im happy that theres no boss with ranged attacks like in vermintide 2 xD

[fluid sand]

played a bit recently and those bug bomb disabler were getting me on the 2nd drachenfels map lol

[rigid wasp]

wait so only to green? wait... yea i should save alot of recourses that way

[rigid wasp]

such a good game, ik these 3 games are a l4d copy but man did they nail it

[fluid sand]

ya green. idk if blues or higher offer more mastery. I know when sold they offer more money and materials depending on rarity

lol ya been having fun w/ VS recently, not bad

[rigid wasp]

i did like the loot system at the end of each mission in vermintide 1 most tho, the whole dice thing was good

flak armoured was like the ogryns and carapace was guardsmen right?

not sure anymore but i always put that on my weapons xD

[fluid sand]

flak is the lower armor one. So shooters, bruisers, mauler bodies etc are flak. Carapace is heaver - mauler's helmet and crusher armor

[rigid wasp]

ah ok

yea then i had it somewhat right

yea sooo you get the first perk at green and it doesnt seem to upgrade when youre at orange so yea, only upgrading till green and then trashing them for mastery

huh... wait

just got this boltgun and it got one tier higher than the one i use buuut simply owning one with higher tier doesnt seem to do it

aaah yea just looked it up in mastery i need a higher one nvm

[fluid sand]

ya gotta unlock the crafting system stuff to apply stuff to ur wep. Owning it doesnt unlock it anymore

[rigid wasp]

wait i asumed that as soon as i get the mastery rank for it that i unlock the perk tier aslong as i own one with it

pog

acutally... meh i liked that i had to have a bit of luck and work for it

oh well... thx for the help

[fluid sand]

ya in the old system it only worked that way for blessing iirc

[rigid wasp]

hey uuuuh... how exactly does bleeding work?

cause ppl keep saying that its op but i can hardly imagine that a little dmg over time does anything if most enemies including minibosses dont live for long

[fluid sand]

so most DOTs can stack up to 16 stacks, bleeds can usually be from 10-100 or 300 per tick

it bypasses armor

I think.. I'm not totally sure on that. I do know that stacks are per enemy. Meaning a teammates bleeds/brittleness/wahtever stacks w/ ur teammates' applications of the dot/debuff

[rigid wasp]

per tick you men the dmg it does per second right? or whatever intervals it has

hmm... wonder if the dmg is also based on the weapons dmg

still... idk feels like any form of dot is meh if almost every enemy is defeated in less than 6 seconds

[fluid sand]

ya it's good against bosses or larger enemies, can be a matter of pref on how to kill something

[rigid wasp]

i see

but having more than one stack just means they bleed for longer right? like theres some games where each stack that an enemy has makes it do more dot per tick

[fluid sand]

more than 1 stacks means they bleed more dmg, idk about longer. it does refresh the stack on application I believe

[rigid wasp]

ah ok

cause that would explain why ppl tell me that its op

def wouldnt be without that no way xD

anyone know if the bleed dmg is once a second? or any other time?

might actually use it on my bolt pistol then instead of surgical, i mean i was only using surgical to snipe ranged enemies that wont let me get close

but i guess even if i might not onehit them without surgical, givving them 4 stacks of bleed will probs do the job lol (atleast if i understood it right)

[fluid sand]

I'd check the psykhanium, best place to test dmg numbers

[rigid wasp]

riiiight i forgot that place exists xD

miss the vermintide 2 hub 🥲

but you know what i dont miss? that darn elv

[dapper shard]

31 for Soulblaze and Burn is the stack limit, but their sources typically have a lower limit defined.

Bleed always racks up to 16, no matter the source.

DoTs don’t ignore armour - they like other damage types also have armour damage modifiers - ADMs - defined for them. All of them are bad against Carapace by default.

[fluid sand]

@rigid wasp Ignore my misinformation and read this instead

[rigid wasp]

hmmm so its bad against armored ogryns for example?

[dapper shard]

Crushers? Yes. DoT effects have OK-ish damage against Bulwarks and Reapers, though

[rigid wasp]

hm i mean i dont really use guns against melee units anyways and as far as i understood theres no ranged unit with cara or is there?

[woeful root]

reapers technically have cara but it doens't matter in practice yeah

[dapper shard]

Not for now, no. DoTs always use „base” armour type of an unit to define what ADM they will use for applying their damage

[rigid wasp]

or wait let me rephrase, does bleed kill any ranged unit when i use it on my bolt pistol :p

would be neat to not have to aim for head or wait for crit from surgical

[dapper shard]

Reapers have Flak chests; they have Cara on shoulders and some other „joint” part

[rigid wasp]

hmmm makes me wonder if the explosion also does bleed or just the impact

[dapper shard]

IDK, that depends on what types of buffs you have and all that, where you hit it (it might not matter for some breakpoints, I’d wager). Test for yourself in the Meat Grinder

[dapper shard]

Just impacts as far as I can tell

[rigid wasp]

yee currently doing laundry, then abusing my lungs and ill check, i actually never was in that test area, does it have all enemies? like also the bosses

[dapper shard]

If you hit multiple targets with the bullet hitscan, then multiple will bleed if you have Puncture

[rigid wasp]

hmmm

[dapper shard]

No, but there are mods that allow you to spawn any in-game „breed” there

And also turn on AI for practice or showcases, or what have you

[rigid wasp]

i see

thx btw for the help

but i mean yea, my chainaxe is like so op ( to single targets and multiple) and can delived so much dmg per special it that i really dont need dot or a ranged weapon in melee

but i am playing with the thought to get a good doublebarrel and run around in difficulty 3 only using me boomstick with those reload blessings xD

ooooh and uuuh ppl probs ask that alot but do we know when havoc gets released?

didnt find a date in the article they posted talking about it

that armor we get from it better be good

genuinly pissed that you dont get armors for completing difficulties like in vermintide

[shell shoal]

do beasts of nurgle spawn on any particular mission or do I just gotta hope to get lucky

[fluid sand]

Also, base armor is determinined by the enemies chest armor, right? So any dot would be based on that armor (mauler=flak)?

[shell shoal]

oh I was like I'll just run a couple missions and see if I get one and then I see THREE on one mission, difficulty 3

[smoky ember]

yeah

[odd bay]

Can you share your (non-class-specific) weapons with your other characters, or do you have to acquire new ones for each?

[lime idol]

No, each weapon item acquired is only for the class u acquired it on

[odd bay]

Is weapon mastery shared at least?

[lime idol]

Yes

[lost pulsar]

So which psyker staff is the best?

[rigid wasp]

wait a second... theres weaponskins now as a reward for some penances???

also uuuh i assume that the bolt pistol and the bolt rifle do the same amount of dmg?

cause it seemed like it to me but i wasnt sure if thats just because of the randome statroll those two guns had

also are there any carapace armoured ranged enemies? cause im debating two switch the bonus dmg perk of that with the extra elite dmg

[lime idol]

boltgun does a little more due to having pinning fire

base dmg is the same, but breakpoints end up being different

[modest tangle]

is it just me or the 2 shotguns are really weak?

[timid holly]

has it not already been 2 weeks since the commodores last refresh?

[zealous dome]

Last rotation was on the 7th
Next on the 21st

[timid holly]

Bruh 😦

has it rlly only been 1 week

[late valley]

So dogshit it slowed time

[zealous dome]

Yeah
They sold unnoticeable skins

[timid holly]

literaly lmao

[rigid wasp]

anyone know what that reward is?

[smoky ember]

it’s a title

[rigid wasp]

ah ok thx

[hasty pagoda]

its a title the most experienced players have

[stoic locust]

Wrong

[hasty pagoda]

truly the players that have this will be able to backup such a title

[upper temple]

I wanna play darktide already😞

[dusty whale]

is there a reason I cant sell my weapons?

[vocal nacelle]

check other loadout maybe you equipped the weapon

or you marked it by accident

[fluid sand]

ya the special event is full of demon slugs

[odd bay]

Do you get more corruption from being downed & revived at higher levels?

[rigid wasp]

You lose the same amount of wounds, but you have less wounds at higher difficulties

[odd bay]

Thats why I felt squishier.

[rigid wasp]

Damnation only lets you get downed once unless you're using wound curios

[limber thicket]

not if you play the best class

[sinful summit]

true
zealot allows you to reach 0 hp an infinite number of times on a cooldown

[limber thicket]

[shell shoal]

there are multiple penances that require you to play 'full games'... so you have to host basically to guarantee you get in at the lobby. how do you tell the game 'host a new match'

[vocal nacelle]

The first walking cutscene

[limber thicket]

don't think it's possible, not solo queue anyway

[shell shoal]

damn

I think if I start a match right when a new mission set spawns

that might be the way to do it

but that's annoying...

[vocal nacelle]

Technically you can do it with mods

But you need premade team

[terse cedar]

Can you get Just A Flesh Wound (Zealot) penance on the Rolling Steel mission?

[vocal nacelle]

Yep

That or special assignments

[terse cedar]

Private game only.

That's inconvenient.

[terse cedar]

Thank you

[sharp bison]

hey guys, I'm getting a backend error when trying to sign in. How do I fix that?

[void forge]

Keep trying

[terse cedar]

One more thing: It says "less than a Wound's worth of Health"
Does it mean that my Health only has to be empty to that point, or it has to be purple?

[coral violet]

it doesnt have to be purple

[terse cedar]

That makes things easier. Thank you.

[coral violet]

fire barrels help a lot with this

[terse cedar]

or just standing there xd

let myself get a few hits

[modest swallow]

Does anyone know what enemies are carapace and flak armored

[smoky ember]

crushers are fully carapace, mauler’s have flak bodies and carapace heads, bulwarks have a carapace arm

any other armor is flak

[modest swallow]

Ty 😃👍

[prisma wraith]

I thought it was Reapers with a carapace arm, given that they block with it when suppressed

[signal gate]

reaper and bulwarks both have a carapace arm/shoulder

[smoky ember]

its a shoulder

its such a small amount i dont really count it tbh

[worldly adder]

What setting/modifier/nurglite curse causes some maps to just have really bad fps?

[shell shoal]

how do weapon stats work? like I just got this

1. what does '320' mean, I get it's 'power' or something
2. how do stats work, like is there a reason damage is in the garbage on this but everything is really high or is each stat random
3. what makes a 'perfect' weapon? what makes like a really good weapon?

[limber thicket]

1. power level, max is 500
2. random
3. perfect weapons are those that have (usually) max 80 for important stats (the right number in the brackets) and 60 in the dump stat

your gun has 60% max damage, it's garbage

but if it had 60% max in mobility instead - perfect weapon

[shell shoal]

thanks for the concise explanation... so I guess from there it's just figuring out what is a junk stat

[limber thicket]

yes. it's usually defence or mobility

[shell shoal]

oh and power level is just, how much it has already been 'refined' I guess? so lower power level weapons need a lot of refining to bulk up their stats to their maximums, and high power level stats just 'have' those, okay cool

[limber thicket]

yeah

[boreal crag]

Hello, I joined to ask if anyone has a fix for the intermittent audio cutting out issue?

I googled it and can see many players with the issue but no resolution

[rigid wasp]

is there any use getting the curios rank above 400?

oh and whats the max? ive seen 430

[stoic locust]

yes, you can get 21% hp and 17% toughness

[rigid wasp]

i see

[stoic locust]

and a 400 rating stamina curio is actually +2

you need a 410 to get a +3 stam

[rigid wasp]

i see

what is the max rank tho?

oh and do i get 21%hp at 410 too?

[lime idol]

curio max is 430

[rigid wasp]

thx

[rigid wasp]

pretty sure i didnt get the frame for completing the event...

[sinful summit]

[rigid wasp]

already tried :p

guess ill ahve to wait

[shell shoal]

how does mastery gain work? do you have to use that weapon a lot or is it just gained with your XP from the mission in question

[tribal pasture]

So, I've been focusing on maxing out masteries on my weapons and do those instantly upgrade my existing weapons with such blessings or just future ones?

[shell shoal]

well, interestingly the masteries tab simply unlocks the ability for you to put those blessings on a weapon at some point and what power level you can choose to work on

it does nothing immediately

[tribal pasture]

But dropped weapons dont necessarily come with max blessing modifiers? Would I have to re-bless to have the best % values?

[shell shoal]

yeah pretty much

[tribal pasture]

Thanks

[shell shoal]

if you find a weapon with good stats you want to keep yeah you'll wanna re-bless it later but

[tribal pasture]

Also I need to sacrifice so many guns to master a weapon aswell

[shell shoal]

you do get to literally just choose that and it just costs money

wait is this the 'Mutated Horrors' condition????

I've been avoiding this when I see it because every time I see it I'm like uhhhh that sounds annoying so nty?????

[tribal pasture]

It is annoying but doable

Try to avoid the tentacles

[hard goblet]

It's nowhere near that bad.

[tribal pasture]

Even I could do it

[hard goblet]

And you shouldn't be shooting poxwalkers most of the time anyway.

[tribal pasture]

Unless its for the penance from afar

[hard goblet]

It's a modifier that rewards what you would already be doing, meleeing poxwalkers.

Also has a side effect/bonus of allowing you to quickly dispatch certain enemies like crushers much faster by shooting them in the head.

[shell shoal]

I usually shoot them because I am a veteran

[tribal pasture]

Me when I push the pox and he doesnt go far as he got stuck on some railing close by

[hard goblet]

I was referring to poxwalkers, not poxbursters but yeah.

[tribal pasture]

There are more types?

This game has so many enemy types

[hard goblet]

Poxwalkers are the 2nd stage of Nurgle's infection for the average citizen.

Those green sickly zombies you've seen.

Groaners still have clothing and somewhat more regular looking skin.

Poxwalkers are what they turn into.

[tribal pasture]

Mauler, rager, crusher, gunner ogryn, shield ogryn, gunner, shotgunner, sniper, dog and not counting dreg and scab variants

[hard goblet]

You can see them in the Meat Grinder training area in the Psykhanium.

[tribal pasture]

I mean, i just look for tentacles on their heads

[hard goblet]

Their health type is "infected" compared to the groaners being "unarmored".

[tribal pasture]

Didnt know it was a specific regular mob

[hard goblet]

Yeah they're a regular mob that will exist after this event ends.

[gusty whale]

i barely noticed that "exploding" part

what i did notice however, is the unending tide of bonbon every 20 seconds

[shell shoal]

yeah I just didn't know what the modifier was or that it was connected to a bunch of challenges and how annoying it'd be or if it was anything to do with the weird tentacle enemies I'd already seen prior but didn't know were from this event

[limber thicket]

try playing Assail psyker, you'll notice it

it's very noticeable when crushers get the tentacles and die from a stray bullet

[tribal pasture]

Can a curio of high enough power grant +2 wounds instead of just +1?

[coral violet]

the current limit is 1

[smoky ember]

no

[gusty whale]

i thought it was meant more as a deterrent from shooting

rather than "vraks autogun oneshots"

[coral violet]

they pop from friendly fire too

[limber thicket]

it's both I guess

[shell shoal]

is the 'marks' menu meant to bug out the display of your weapon's stats in the stat card beacuse right now it's giving me this when I try and swap the variant of my gun...

[limber thicket]

no, it's not supposed to

[void forge]

is this broken thing meant to be broken? no, obviously not

[distant prairie]

If anyone with a moded game is getting the backend error, it's one of the mods on this list:

Disabling all mods fixes the game and you can play.(I haven't tested each one individually yet)

Some mods(weapon custom) require the masteritems mod to work properly now and not give the backend error

I'll follow that lead for my testing, thanks!

EDIT: yup that dependency was the problem.

[tawdry pine]

hi! Where can I get info on various status effects that I have on the screen during missions? I want to learn more

[tribal pasture]

are monstrosities considered elite enmies for blessing triggers?

[cloud pivot]

i need some help doing the the twins bell puzzle

[kind shore]

Is the weapon crafting strat pretty much wait until you hit 30 before looking, then trying to spot something with mostly 80%s?

[lime idol]

U can start very early on now since they revamped crafting system

Just look for 80% in the stats u want

[tribal pasture]

Any mission modifier that increases scabs? The weekly contract timer is almost uup and I need a few more

[lime idol]

Maelstrom scab only

[tribal pasture]

nop

just scab

I also dont have lv30 on this character yet for maelstrom

its my last character left for contracts

[sinful summit]

you dont have to be lvl 30 for maelstroms

[tribal pasture]

I read auric

too many keywords in this game to learn in a few days

[dusky pine]

Where do you see how far you are in this Nurgle Blessing tier thing

[vocal nacelle]

hold tab, press E

[thorny slate]

Are all Auric Maelstroms HIST by default, or are some less hard than HIST? Or don't have that modifier?

[vocal nacelle]

Auric have different AI director

[woeful root]

auric maelstroms are always hi-intensity (and normal maelstroms are always normal-intensity), but i don't think that they're necessarily shock troopers

[thorny slate]

gotcha, thanks for the answers

I ask cause it's a toss-up in terms of difficulty, sometimes HIST seems harder than a lot of Maels

[floral sparrow]

Has anyone else encountered the leak with mouse input? After ~30 minutes in the frametime will jump to 50ms whenever the mouse is moved. Reducing the polling rate delays this

[lost helm]

I´m sure this has been answered but could anyone explain the difference between the Cleave blessings on the Catachan swords?

Devastating Strike just seems..really bad compared to the other two.

[woeful root]

you'd be correct
there's no other unlisted bells & whistles to it. It got changed from something else and never got looked at ever since.

it'll prob get looked at later on but for now, you'll have more reason to run the other two than you have to run dev strike

[lost helm]

Damn.. So what would you guys recommend for Veteran, middle tree, all comers build for quick play?

I'm tired of cycling my power sword...

Damnation/Auric Damnation

[smoky ember]

wrath stacks on each hit, and drops when you miss an attack

savage sweep stacks once you hit 3 enemies with one attack, and only drops after 3 seconds

devastating strike sucks

dclaw doesn’t need a cleave blessing though

shred rampage is plenty good

[lost helm]

Yeah, that's what I was running already, just couldn't figure out if I was missing something, the numbers didn't make sense.

[smoky ember]

the total possible cleave is the same at 200%

it’s just the different methods of stacking

savage sweep is better if a weapon can consistently stack it

[lost helm]

Yeah, thanks buddy.

[smoky ember]

(mk3 evis)

whereas something like the mk13g chainsword gets more value from wrath

as it has a lower innate cleave

[fathom kite]

What's the best way to get Atoma's Elite guard Penance?

[pearl mauve]

theres not a way to change these maximums is there?

[hard goblet]

Maximums are baked into the weapon. There is no way to alter them.

[stuck rose]

Anyone willing to help with the Malleus Monstronum penance?

[pliant ledge]

Could anyone help me with the on over watch penance? Istg I get to the end without getting hit by melee and I still don’t get it

Is it bugged ?

I’m on malice difficulty it just simply won’t give it to me

[little coyote]

keep in mind that the dog pounce and mutant ground slam count as melee as well

[pliant ledge]

Yeah I’ve made sure to avoid them both

I just got done a no hit run and didn’t get it the only damage I took was ranged damage

I’m not sure what I could’ve doing wrong atp

[little coyote]

but you can get hit if it's entirely negated by toughness, so you can try to stack up on that to make sure you don't take any health damage

[pliant ledge]

Yeah I seen that on the steam forms I’ll try that and see if it changes anything

Ty

[unkempt wraith]

what's the good "25% damage" perk?

[little coyote]

depends on the weapon and what you want to do with it

[unkempt wraith]

heavy stubber

[vocal nacelle]

Maniac

[little coyote]

yeah maniac would do nicely

[vocal nacelle]

The other depends on your build

Can go unyielding flak ua

[lunar reef]

How do I get transcendent weapon drops?

[limber thicket]

get lucky

what do you need the drops for?

[smoky ember]

damnation

[lunar reef]

I’m trying to play harder missions and just want to be appropriately geared.

[limber thicket]

it's better to find a perfect weapon of any rarity and then consecrate

[modest swallow]

Does anyone know if there adding new weapons with the new update ?

[winged tulip]

Won't know until devlog drops

[patent jasper]

I mean they already announced 2h force and power sword and heavy stubber

[rigid wasp]

Does anyone have any advice for the final level grinds? I'm at level 26 and want to know what I should be doing to maximize XP (if I find a good team)

[limber thicket]

just play the game, it doesn't take long

quickplay heresy or damnation if you are good

[rigid wasp]

Okay appreciate it

[limber thicket]

but definitely don't stay on malice if you are there now

it's unironically harder than heresy\damn

[rigid wasp]

seriously?

[limber thicket]

better players in higher difficulties

yeah

I was levelling psyker as my second character and it was an absolute nightmare up to malice

when I got to heresy\damnation - easy mode

and it's not because I got better, not by much anyway

[red ginkgo]

Put 10% Experience on all your curious as perks

Helps a bit

[rigid wasp]

💀 valid

[zinc night]

hi, i just started today, may I have a few questions?

like... where to fight the Nurgle-blessed enemies from Special Event?

I wanna do them for easy cash :d

[final copper]

What enemy type are the monstrous units?

[fathom quarry]

monstrosities are unyielding, except scab captains which are flak armored

[zinc night]

oh, I see now - Mutated Horrors -.- Can I find them on first difficulty level? game is kinda hard after first 2 missions 😄

[final copper]

Thank you

[fluid mauve]

Got it by accident a while ago, I don't remember if there's low intensity for malice but check for that, if not try mutated horrors because I swear it feels like low intensity, dunno if it'd work for you but I was running shovel and helbore with VoC and I think I had toughness curios

[sinful summit]

any boss that randomly spawns

beast of nurgle, plague ogryn, chaos spawns, daemonhost

[vocal nacelle]

might want to level up first and get decent weapon

[late valley]

But you can also go in there for a cool and fun time

[zinc night]

true that, got wrecked on first one I tried... got a blue las gun after, tho... so might try again. some dudes carried me 😄

[stray edge]

anyone here trying to get Auric storm survivor?

[zinc night]

how to see, what do icons on the bottom of screen mean?

[vocal nacelle]

which one

[zinc night]

like auras and effects

skill effects

colorful square icons -.-

[smoky ember]

they’re the same effects from talents

the first 2 though, mean coherency and if you’re sprinting with stamina

they’re also weapon buffs

[zinc night]

so, no way to see which is which in game? too bad they're not listed when press TAB

[terse kayak]

hey boys , is there someone who allready beat the karnak twins (hardmode) and is willing to make a grp so i can get the repentance , cause the 6th bell just doesnt work ive tried it many times

[lunar reef]

Is the best way to do this just buying profane weapons from the robot vendor till I get something with good stats? I’ve sunk a lot into doing it before but always got crap.

[limber thicket]

If you have a lot of gold and need that perfect weapon fast - then yes

but he often sells perfect weapons in his regular stock

[zinc night]

is weapon level max 20? cant get any more blessings after that?

and cant reset them, if i get this correct?

[hushed wave]

You can reset them infinite times now

Hadron can change them for you

[zinc night]

thank you, good sir

i mean - for the Emperor

sorry, I'm new

is there like infinite grind in the game, or u get 20/30 lvls weapon/char and its ova, boii?

[hushed wave]

Once you master all weapons its pretty much just play for fun/penances until they release new weapons

[winged tulip]

You can get perfect roll weapons, fully empowerment and then you don't need to grind

[zinc night]

ok, thx

[winged tulip]

I guess you could still grind to get a 3 perfect roll curios of each type if you really felt like it

[hushed wave]

It almost too easy to get a perfect weapon now. until the meta changes.

[winged tulip]

Also a near perfect weapon Vs a perfect one is probably an imperceptible difference in almost every situation

[buoyant ibex]

does +60% curio drop chance even work? I still get mostly weapons as a mission reward

[limber thicket]

I wouldn't be surprised if it was multiplicative.
So something like 10% to drop curio is now 16%

[patent jasper]

It is multiplicative off its already low curio drop chance

[buoyant ibex]

bruh

[zinc night]

and how to score crits? headshots/weakpoints or RNG? or mix of both?

[swift pebble]

I gotta get really really good with my veteran (my main) before havoc missions drop so I don't get tortured by them, I'm thinking of trying to get good with the devil's claw parry

I'm honestly quite mediocre at this game and rely heavily on my shout vet build to carry me

[hushed wave]

I've been playing 2 years and still mediocre, don't worry.

[woeful root]

crits are RNG
This game has both weakspot hits and critical hits, and they have separate trigger conditions, though some things will allow you to trigger crits from hitting weakspots prior

[zinc night]

cool, ty

[fluid sand]

new shop page tomorrow or next week?

[winged tulip]

Tomorrow

[swift pebble]

When I play auric I feel like I'm always the first one going down or dying, I dunno what exactly I'm doing wrong but it frustrates me

[smoky ember]

post your build, and dodge more

you wanna be dodging at least like 700-800 times a game

[swift pebble]

Yeah I do dodge, and I try not to run off on my own, and I use my abilities and stuff, I know how to dodge slide, and I know how the melee works

[smoky ember]

download powerDI, play a game

and look at ur dodge count

it’s probably low

a vast majority of players who die a lot have a dodge count that’s below 500

[swift pebble]

Uhh, I don't have a screenshot on me at the moment, but I run shout vet with shredder nades, focus fire and other talents mainly for toughness regen and that one for suppression resist
And I run power sword and bolt pistol

[swift pebble]

I dunno what that is, but it sounds helpful. Thanks for the advice!

[smoky ember]

it’s a mod

[smoky ember]

whenever you can get a screenshot, post it here and ping me or @lime idol

[swift pebble]

Aight

[smoky ember]

path can give you great build advice for vet

[swift pebble]

Cool, thanks!

[hushed wave]

Good job playing auric already though.
I'm still getting comfortable with Normal Heresy

[swift pebble]

Thank you! I like the increased enemy concentration, makes things more intense

[hushed wave]

I've not tried hi intensity heresy yet. Bet that is going to be a nightmare

[swift pebble]

Like I said, I feel like I'm often the most frequently killed/downed but hopefully I'll get better

I think it might have something to do with getting surrounded by horde enemies, I feel like that happens a lot
It's extra annoying because getting hit prevents me from using my power sword's energized attack

[hushed wave]

Once you get the rhythm of blocking/dodging it becomes pretty easy to avoid all damage.

And I never use the power sword because of that ☝️

[swift pebble]

Yeah that's why I've been thinking of switching to something else

[hushed wave]

I feel too vulnerable having to charge it up all the time haha.

[swift pebble]

I might try getting good with the catachan sword parry

[hushed wave]

I main the knife these days. The mobility is a lifesaver

[zinc night]

where can i test new weapons, again? what was it called?

[zealous dome]

Psykhanium

It should be right in front of Hadron

[zinc night]

are there any super-big bosses in this game :d? Like multi-phase boss fights? would be cool

[smoky ember]

yeah, the twins

the special assignment

[umbral idol]

Does any1 know, if the resistances from the curios decrease both toughness and health damage taken from sources or only health? Ex. +20% Damege Resistance vs Gunners

[smoky ember]

it applies to toughness

and i’m pretty sure HP too

[umbral idol]

Ok, thanks for the answer

[zinc night]

should i Empower before Consecration? do I lose anything if I do it other way?

[smoky ember]

doesn’t matter

[zinc night]

what is the purple bar on health? I dont remember -.-

and can I shoot through allies? or do they block bullets?

[worthy comet]

Purple bar is corruption. Reduces your max hp and if it takes over an entire bar determines how many revives you have left

You can shoot through alies now

[zinc night]

also - guns are not shared? I thought I have 1 armory amongst operators

[worthy comet]

Weapons are not shared

Mastery is but not the weaps themselves

[zinc night]

Replenish Toughness is healing?

[limber thicket]

no

it's... restoring your toughness bar

not the hp

[worthy comet]

Toughness is your damage mitigation bar

[zinc night]

blue one?

[limber thicket]

yes

[worthy comet]

The way it works is

Full bar, you take a hit and it does 0 hp damage

90 percent bar, you take a hit and you take like 10 percent of that and so on

So toughness replenishment is valuable for keeping it topped off

[zinc night]

cool, thx for info

[limber thicket]

but ranged hits always get fully mitigated by toughness

also toughness replenishment on talents doesn't always mean what you think it means

sometimes it means coherency toughness regeneration (when you passively regen toughness by being near allies) and sometimes it actually means replenishment, like when you kill enemies, or talents like "get 20% toughness when you do X"

NEVER TRUST FATSHARK DESCRIPTIONS

[zinc night]

yeah some things are worded weirdly in this game

today I saw "Interrogate data banks" as objective. Shouldn't it be "Intercept"?

[limber thicket]

not just weirdly, they straight up are wrong and lie to you

[zinc night]

how to interrogate a data bank?

just view the data?

or you have to upload it to a dead guy vrain first to view it in this uni?

[limber thicket]

you interrogate the machine spirit

[zinc night]

yeah, I was close

[limber thicket]

no but for funsies

what do you think this talent does?

[zinc night]

it says Coherency -.-

so boosts aura?

[lime idol]

I mean, this one is written pretty clearly

[limber thicket]

you'd think "oh well it makes you regen 50% more toughness when you are near allies in coherency" right?

[zinc night]

no

[limber thicket]

and it does

[zinc night]

it boosts your base i think

by 50%

[limber thicket]

but what it also does is enable coherency regen when you are COMPLETELY ALONE

[zinc night]

so it would be say base 10 with this would be 15

[limber thicket]

nope, it's not that

[lime idol]

No?

[limber thicket]

it would be logical if it was

[limber thicket]

try it

[zinc night]

brb guys, gotta fry some sausage before everyone is asleep here -.-

[limber thicket]

you regen toughness passively when completely alone with that talent

it's a mini loner

[lime idol]

Huh

[lime idol]

Ok yea

Very funny talent, the amount is minuscule tho

[limber thicket]

yeah, it's just to showcase how you can never trust anything in this game

[lime idol]

It’s a different modifier from toughness regeneration in the code

[limber thicket]

like the several ogryn talents that all say "toughness replenishment" but only one of them actually means it

[lime idol]

Normal toughness regeneration modifier is coded as
toughness_regen_rate_modifier

This one is coded as
toughness_coherency_regen_rate_modifier

[limber thicket]

you can somehow see the code?

[lime idol]

I have link to source code

And kuli’s guides have them listed

[limber thicket]

i see

[zinc night]

he's Neo

someone tell me pls- I binded tag to LMB, same as shoot... and it works!~(as "always tag"). Am I dumb or genius?

[worthy comet]

Does it spam tags?

Because thats annoying as fuck

As another player

[rigid wasp]

Yeah, please don't do that

You don't need to tag everything and changing tags all the time is obnoxious

[lime idol]

Learn to manually tag
Spam tag can be obnoxious for other players

[zinc night]

it only tags big guys

and lets my team see them

[fading plaza]

At the very least bind it to RMB if not something else. LMB is very annoying as more time then not it will tag the same target multiple times. Also you don't always want to tag the target you are also fighting.

[zinc night]

ok will do

but also - the game only lets u tag once in like 7-10 seconds, so theres no tag spam

[lime idol]

No, u can rapid tag many enemies

[stoic locust]

Please explode violently

[zealous dome]

Who told you this?
They were lying

[gusty whale]

when did this get buffed

thought it was 25%

[stoic locust]

U&L

[gusty whale]

never knew

never picked it

[limber thicket]

get a mod that auto tags every 2 seconds (configurable) it'll accomplish the same thing but no annoyance

[stoic locust]

Thats still pretty annoying and gets rid of your tags on important shit

[zinc night]

nice, thx

[zinc night]

how to get it, tho -.-? and mods in general?
