just in general tbh
well, you probably didn't get your havoc reward
I just using anything that I have
wtttttf
cheers
idk if it too high of expectation but I expect to see this kind of guide but for every wep and class and not just one specific class (this one is from psyker guide and it have what i'm looking for but its only psyker wep)
consider how long this game is on steam now
another thing that like 'might' work is playing a mission so it updates your totals, but, I dunno
oh
well that's good then
lmao
alright buddy
go to vet chat look at the guide
it has that for every weapon in the game
I would link it but the link is long af
just check the pins
you mean this?
oh these?
ngl I thought it's one of those guide where it tell all the stats of that wep but not what perk and blessing is recommend
I see so many of those and I was confuse why would I look at the steam guide when the in-game menu also explain it
ig for greater detail
yeah those annoy me too...
the thing is though that
many of the in-game texts for talents aren't like 100% accurate
or they do hidden things not listed
or something
all the range wep can be use by every character right? except ogryn
but I think there's a mod that exposes those so yeah
no
each class kinda has some uniques
vet gets like power sword and plasma, zealot gets flamer, eviscerator, relic blade, psyker gets staves and force swords, and yeah ogryn is all ogryn
... but yes other than that a lot of the generic ranged weapons are universal
and melees too
so a lot of stuff in that vet guide is applicable to everyone
relic blade has a pinned breakdown in #zealot-class
idk what to use on pzyker
as for staves check psyker guide
it does have details on those
electrokinetic is good if you just want to LMB spam balls at people and kill every special
inferno staff is godly for killing hordes and most everything really
and then voidstrike/voidblast are like, also okay
I honestly can't remember which does what but I think voidblast is the ground AOE thing which is fairly good at mulching hordes at least though imo it's more fiddly than the inferno
and voidstrike is you just throw an extra big ball
so there's no reason not to have at least one of each
ok
so greatsword + inferno for and with either assail or the brain pop thing
but I kinda like assail more than brain pop that thing took ages to charge
brain burst is a lot better with... EP charges I think
cuz it brings the charge time down and makes it cost no peril
so you can kill hordes of specials pretty quick
ep charges?
assail is fine too really but
empower psionic?
ok
currently i'm kinda like the shield augment more than venting shrike and scrier gaze
bubble is pretty good so yeah
vent is honestly pretty good
scriers is good too but I haven't used it too much since I think you want like some kinda specific build for that
vent is just nice to have in a variety of situations and it even does pretty good horde damage with soulblaze
think sciers is for melee psyker or something
does charging do anything for brain pop ability
do you mean like holding RMB
yeah
well, it makes it instant at the cost of constantly adding peril
so the idea is I guess if you know something is coming around a corner I guess, you can hold RMB and then LMB when you see their head, it's a bit finnicky though
since sometimes in my experience if you touch LMB, it just cancels it
so yeah you mostly just spam LMB
LMB is also useful for peeking, LMB on someone's head, duck into cover
since you can do it from behind walls
it's only for getting the penance that involves killing a dog while it leaps
RMB lets you continue holding the charge and switch to popping another target's head if the vet decides to shoot the glowing head
dang thank for recommend that EP
it's so good with brain pop ability
it sure is
it'd make a good combo with inferno too since you lack range with a melee, and a short range staff
so brain burst lets you kill specials far away
giving you the tools to kill, everything in the game
assail might be okay too but I think it only works at like midranges so on some maps it might be annoying
where gunners shoot at you from like 70 meters away
For havoc mode do I have to complete a auric maelstrom or regular maelstrom?
Thank you
by the way it's hard so if you struggle with it then don't do auric
if you skip to 16 and havoc is too hard for you then it's not gonna do you any favors skipping there
I did the maelstrom not to hard
What's the difference between maelstrom and havoc? Only more modifiers?
im assignment-31 but my listing keeps listing as 35-40....why?
Can anyone confirm or deny following statements?
- The effect falls off when you attack single target
- The effect falls off when you block or dodge
drops if you miss an attack
has a brief timer, too
blocking and dodging does not drop it
same applies to shred
Wrath + Rampage is god tier from my experience so far
Rampage Cranial is better for general use
Thermal resistance and weakspot beats extra cleave in sane difficulties
In havoc it’s wrath cranial
actually it's rampage+ leakage or rampage+wrath for havocs with 21st
hi i went to dukane's and it said i got a bunch of diamantine and plasteel from havoc but i didn't actually see any get added to my inventory
how do i actually collect it
log out log in
New player question on gear. Does getting a good roll matter if you can just empower?
each weapon have 1 dump stat/ useless stat it doesnt matter on early game but it will matter if you want to min max later
Not sure which weapons to keep or upgrade
just keep it first and worry when you reach lvl 30, ask in class chat about your weapon
Is anyone having issues with their talents/loadout not loading correctly if you change it out before a match?
Does anyone know the name of the mod that highlights where plasteel and diamantine are?
I saw Mr E using it
is that a mod? that sounds awesome
Does anyone have any tips for completing the "Shocking Stuff" Penance? For context it's kill 40 stunned enemies in 10 seconds as Zealot, I've gotten pretty close but I'm losing my mind and wondered if anyone has any strategies
throw bunch of nades to extend the stun duration or get other zealot to throw it
(Unfortunately, the preview icons only work in solo lobbies due to the chest contents in live games being - understandably - stored and locked on the Fatshark servers.) interesting
join any auric hi int damnation, lag behind the team when the horde spawns, toss all your nades into poxers then flamer/evi/devil claw them
can get the separate mod just check the guy mod list
https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/415 mats mod only
only the chest marker that doesnt work
Foundya also works
You can extend the minimum range to spot the icon
but it's interesting it can't tell you what is in chests until you open it
Is there anyway to get the chests to work?
Or itll only work for stuff outside of chests
no it marks chests but it can't tell you what's in chests until you open it
the material markers mod marks chests? or is there a separate one because i dont see the chests being marked
supposedly it says if you are in solo it will not mark empty chests
when is excise vault coming back 😮💨
it hasn't gone anywhere?
it's been out of rotation for a hot minute due to bugs i don't know any more about
unless it's back with the latest hotfix that i haven't played yet, but there's nothing in the patch notes about it
oh, hm, maybe that's why I haven't seen it in a bit
wait for about 2 hordes to group up together, or look for a light's out mission.
In the Power Supply Interruption mission look for one of the stationary groups of horde enemies. These usually have roughly 20-30 enemies more or less. Then wait for a horde wave to come, push/corral the front portion a little to make sure they are positioned to get roasted as a group, then uses 2 stun grenades (maybe try right trigger aiming to throw the nade at ur feet quicker) and kill them all w/ a well-built flamer and hold down the trigger.
and maybe do it at a 4 or 5 standard mission w/ hi-intensity and try starting a penance party finder group
why power outage
if you're still struggling with it by later today, i can help you get it in about 5 minutes later
power outage has hordes that just hang around more often
for the large grps of stationary hordes
interesting...
but really it just takes 2 people
and a damnation auric
takes like 3 minutes to get it
but yeah the trick I found is, you need to get a big enough horde (obviously) and then you need 2 grenades imo, you need to toss one to the back then one to the front of the horde, that costs like 2s then you need to yeah use that flamer and burn that shit as hard as you can, and if you're lucky you'll get it
Ya I my suggestion is a little conveluted, but I assume they are new and might not be great at auric level yet
you’ll get it quick enough
I did it on enclavum baross with the endless horde solo
but ya auric is the simplest way
How much later because I'm on right now but I'm about to go to sleep soon
mercantile is also good
7 or so hours
i’ve got work
ah, well, maybe I'll be awake by then
In the meantime I'll keep throwing myself at 4/5's
anyone have any data on max toughness curios (health too i guess but i don't run those)? specifically do they ever spawn in the regular docket shop, and also approx how many do i have to gamble from melk before i can expect one
Max health - 21%
Max Toughness - 17%
Max stamina - +3
Max Wounds - +1
Can spawn both from brunt and melk
Yes you can gamble for them
Sadly I don't think there's a "Pity" system so you could gamble forever to get one.
right, but i meant more like what's the curve look like. "expect" really means expect, though i wish it did mean "am guaranteed"
thank for info, though
Anybody know what people expect you to have for havoc? And what the different havoc levels mean
do you mean havoc?
The one made for weapons looks like a bell curve
Bit skewed towards the lower end
kind of like this
neat
ta
then i guess the short answer is "a lot"
is anyone else having an issue where they cant change marks on a duelling sword? im mastery 20 but for some reason its stuck on mk2
Is it possible to increase havoc assignment level without waiting for the week to end??
Did I see a level 34 or was I on drugs last night? Everything is telling me max level is 30.
That was someone with a Havoc clearance of 34
Max level still 30
Ah makes sense, I have not played in about a year now I think I missed a bit.
You’d have to host the mission for that
Did they remove auric heresy missions with no modifiers?
I'm missing my favorite "brainless chill" difficulty 😦
I'm stuck with the "Player in party is not eligible" - tried to host with like 3 diff groups and it gives me the same msg. Other people in my strike group can start a havoc mission assignment which i can join, but i cant start it, which is weird.
Have you talked to Dukane and completed a maelstrom mission after
did you ever get it?
Just woke up a little bit ago, but no, still working on it
i can help you with it
i can be on in a sec
That'd be great actually, I'm not amazing at the game so you might have to bear with me being terrible lmao
nah dw about it
could you send your fatshark code?
sweet
How does one get the havoc armor...
these 3 penances each reward a cosmetic piece for all classes
Thank you very much🙏
update: after some trial and error i found some good horde spawn spots, and i got it. Thank you to people who gave advice
gratz
anyone having issues saying you're not eligible for havoc?
where are you getting this message
I haven't seen it personally, I've joined 2 parties and they both said someone in the party isn't eligible. Figured I was the common denominator
every one in each group had a havoc rank already
Yeah I'm there now. I can start my own party. Does it make you ineligible if you requested to join multiple groups and some are still pending?
I don't know, I don't think so, I have never tried to spam invites to parties
so what's your assignment rank
16
nah I did like 5 or 6 last week
Logged out and back in, we'll see how it goes this time
couldn't hurt I guess
I have heard of other people having similar issues, but, I have no idea if it's the same problem you're having and I don't know why they'd have it
I have seen that particular error like 'someone is not eligible to play havoc' or something in the thing but, that only happened to me one time when people were actively disconnecting from my party
maybe I'm dumb
Is the 16 not my havoc assignment?
but then on party finder it says I don't have a havoc assignment
I have a really dumb question, but I wanna make sure of the wording. Cranial Grounding says Chained Weakspot Hit, does that mean repeatedly hitting the same thing in the weakspot? Or if I just hit enough things with 1 swing in the weakspot?
lol
I think it means if you just keep hitting weakspots
which is not too hard in a horde I guess
alright that's cursed
can you show me your havoc terminal screen
i hate this stupid god damned game
tell me why the fuck a bonbon can swallow me and climb up a point of no return the entire team was past before spitting me out
literally who decided that was going to be a thing that could happen
AI director
if you say "nobody decided that, it's just an emergent consequence of different things interacting", you are dangerously close to getting the point that nobody playtested it enough
@shell shoal
nay i will just say its the whimsical nature of the BoN AI
did you get eaten by the BoN near ledge now your team cant go up or your teammate didnt bother to stun BoN so it decide to take you to a tour
that's party finder
what's your havoc terminal look like
what mission is it recommending to you
honestly I'm not even sure I have a havoc terminal
aha.
I thought so
you see that green thing over there in the distance
on the right
o.o
yeah talk to that
are you serious. I bet it was blocking me because I haven't collected my rewards
Where are the rest of the auric missions?
yeah that's what I did
Oh
not red anymore. Probably the issue. Thanks man
I was worried for a second, like "You're worried about your havoc terminal and your auric board doesn't exist"
no problem
I am sure it means then that
because your assignment resets weekly
if you don't claim your rewards, it also means it hasn't generated your mission yet
it does it on demand so it doesn't have to generate missions for every player simultaneously
... sure, let's go with that
so if you haven't generated your mission
you have no 'my havoc assignment'
so it kind of makes sense, it's just the error isn't very helpful
yeah that makes sense. I made a thread on FS forums and udpated it after claiming my rewards. Would be really strange if that was the intended behavior
I assume they just expect most players to be like oh reset I must claim my rewards :)
before they do literally anything else
haha yeah probably. I've been beyond the point of needing rewards for a while so I didn't even check lol
I'll have it
both
yo lmaoo that's wild
that's the worst
and then! the very next mission! fuckers decided to play Let's Left Click Every Heretic In Sight instead of [terribly derisive scoff] doing the mission
i hate havoc
i hate it by proxy
it's siphoning everyone who plays worth a fuck
this was after someone had barrel-yote me into a clusterfuck, literally said "Whoops!" and dipped, btw
how many players do you think might swap from playing a few games every night, to like, doing havoc once a week
like oh I'll get rewards in a big chunk just for 1 game, so
yeah lmfao it's the hardest most technical optimization and sweat-rewarding gameplay with the most casual possible reward structure
it's peak fatshark
what they do right, they do really right
and that makes you wonder where the fuck their brain was at for the other stuff
press E or the button that resets your filter
does anyone know the best relic blade roll?
check pins #zealot-class
Build potentially
as in?
how would my build affect eligibilty?
By being bad
I'm not talking about the people not wanting to run
Oh wait you mean mechanically
the actual button doesnt let me
yeah, go touch your terminal
True level posting leads me to think they don't want you
yea that's what I used to list my assignment
are you sure it wasn't someone else in your party who hasn't
for some reason it was not eligible, then 1 person left and it was again
because
okay
so the devs did something awesome
you basically can't interact with havoc until you claim your weekly rewards
from terminal
so if you just don't do that you'll get errors like the above, "error you are not eligible you have no havoc assignment" or whatever
that's all it is
and it prevents it even if someone else in the party is the one that didn't claim?
yes because that person is a havoc ghost until they claim their rewards
no it doesn't but no problem
Can anyone explain how I use the group finder in game for havoc ? Havoc is locked for me in the group finder for some reason
Hit E or whatever it says to reset your search filters, then select only havoc
did you clear your settings first? #📢news-bulletin message
Have you completed a Maelstrom mission yet?
Yes I’ve done the maelstrom, I’m on console. Let me try to figure out how to clear the settings
Oh I got it
Thank you
how do I farm gold in this game
get one character to max lvl and have good gear then use that character to do highest possible difficulty mission to farm it?
find some other champ and complete the twin hard mode puzzle on uprising, finish the mission
then chain suicides after the teleport in a private session(cant start solo, non-suicidal pubs will slow you down significantly) on damnation difficulty
also stacks you mastery on weapons that you cant be bothered playing with
is it me or does the ai director have an incredible fucking boner for bombers and flamers now
can you be 40 ? O.o
I think thats havoc level
No way they added this. It's basically demanding 1,5k hours at least to be put in the game in order to complete it fully
Be glad they didn’t extend barrel penances.
I think I got it immediately because 1,000,000 just comes naturally when it's like 2,000/game; that's just 500 games.
im pretty sure its personal kills not team kills
Yea I saw people with it the day of the update so I think it tracked previous progress
Does playing more havoc games up the reward cache or does it only count the highest completed mission?
only highest completed this week
Is the twins boss special assigment supposed to be possible? I am on my 4th attempt and it always plays out like this: I explode from something-->people refuse to revive in time/can't because of the pistol guy-->snowball into teamwipe
where else would you get 43k plasteel for running just a single mission? 
its a gear check mostly. are you attempting base or puzzle hard mode?
What
I'm so confused.... I completed a mission on damnation, and right after we extracted and I was supposed to see the mission rewards, it booted me out and gave me an error 4001 and said there was an error joining my strike team? I wasn't having any ping issues and everything was going great, it makes zero sense
One of the people I was playing with was running way faster than me and I'm a zealot with pretty high movement speed, so maybe he was cheating and he disconnected me on purpose because I caught him? Idk I might just be coping :c
That is weird? Either way you still get your rewards
did this person have a knife and did you not have one?
speed hacks aren’t a thing in this game as far as i know
they could’ve been a psyker with knife, scriers gaze, and mettle
post the clip
Purge the heretics uses to be 1M personal kills for skull hoarder frame
Then they lowered it to 500k personal kills
I’m quite happy they added something new for 1M personal kills
Need competent teammates
And you need to kill the brother first
Some people are using mods but mine dont work, and I updated the loader to the last version that is also before the havoc update
so how do people run them when it hasnt been updated since
are your other mods updated
hmmm
ok so if mod has new version do i just extract it on the folder of that same mod
you probably want to delete the old one first
for some reason I think all your settings for mods are saved 'elsewhere' so it's fine
I usually just drag the updated mod into my mod folder, click replace, and it works out
so if im brand new to havok, and my buddy is 40, can he take me on a 40 and that'll be my level when it ticks over to next week? or like how does that work? im kinda confused by this whole system.
does the crusher in havoc does curse dmg because sometime thye just one shot me through toughness and hp when i have no curse
pretty sure i did that with like 20 and i got havoc 20
guys whats the dump stat for bolter?
im on the fence between collat, mobility and stability
enemies have damage overflow in havoc which will deal extra damage beyond your minimum health as corruption damage, which is why crushers can do that, it can happen with other enemies too, in h39 i was missing a bit of toughness when i got hit by a bulwark and i recieved enough damage to instantly kill me cuz of the overflow
make sense now i was losing my mind when i just got one shotted froma crusher
how can you tell what dump stat/bad stat is on a weapon?
by being told. or by looking at how much the underlying stat changes when the weapon stat changes and compare that to breakpoints if relevant.
for the most part every weapon is like, the tier list, is 1. dps 2. everything else so everything that adds damage is more important than say, movement
and a lot of stats, add damage
alright noted
Hi folks, I am looking for people to do Havoc first assignment please. I am lv 1. 😊 thanks
Is there any channel regarding Havok party finder?
no
i’d recommend you play normal games and get to level 30 first
Sorry I didn't mention I am lv 30 but Rank 1 in Havok
hello, so the game requires me to verify some files thing, but I didn't verify it and now I can't connect to the game server
what do I do now?
ok so I can join games but it's really weird
enemies are walking on air and things idk
I'd suggest restarting and verifying tbh, just do the verification once per update and you should be fine. Otherwise, this sounds like a connection issue which could be on your end or Fatshark's
Had 2 crashed so far when interacting with the Havoc ui, typically when joining a strike team or accepting an invite. Does not happen often.
Crash report stated things like profile and gui were nil value. I've updated and verified files and game plays fine otherwise. My error or fatsharks?
Hello, can anyone help me with zealots private penance?
So, do you pretty much always want to dodge slide?
against ranged enemies sure
against melee, depends on whether you want the distance since your melee dodge ends the moment you slide (besides the linger window), and dodge-slides consume 2 dodge charges instead of just 1
Steam verification works better than launcher verification if you're a steam player @rigid wasp
do we know if theyre gona port over the relic blade maintaining its charge for a few seconds mechanic, to the vet powerswords, and the zealot crusher?
why wouldnt they
because if they were gonna they would have done it in this update, their intention clearly is to leave them as they are
if you're getting hit out of your combo with the power sword or whatever then just get good
it's not a bug, it's part of the game's melee combo system
so if you're dropping combos on the power sword or crusher or whatever, you're dropping combos, on everything else too
i've heard some pretty prominent youtubers suggest it should be ported
ill hope fatshark changes their mind
haha OH REALLY NOW
cuz having to recharge a powersword every swing is annoying
well if some guy said it in a video he's probably completely right about everything he said
it's not like they'd just let ANYONE make a youtube video
no if they did that I certainly would be okay with it, sure why not, change it, fuck it, it'd just make the power sword even more OP than it already is, but I think they're not gonna
could just nerf some damage to compensate, or have it to where it overheats really fast, perhaps one could say the relicblade is more easily cooled
idk but what do i know, i only run up to heresy hi intensity games, im a casual
It performs roughly the same as relic, just use power cycler
If the damage got nerfed the weapon gonna be useless, currently mk6 psword can "one" Tap crusher on each activation
Relic looked good because its on zealot the class that have grocery list of buffs
what do you guys recommend to combo with flamer, ive been playing around with a full support build heavy eviscerator XV flamer and chorus for the stun grenade penace
uh, well the flamer has hordes taken care of so you want a melee imo that complements that by butchering everything else, so I would take the Duelling Sword Mk IV because it kills crushers and specials that the Flamer will struggle with
well, killing everything is a good way to support
zealot probably deosnt have good "support" melee i guess
i’d say start learning crusher
crusher, mk3 evis, tac axe,
thunder hammer
flamer pairs well with almost every weapon
thunder hammer my old love sounds like a good idea
Also pairs really with with knife. Makes up for flamer's lack of mobility
Or really any weapon with strong single target but weak horde
like the Duelling Sword Mk IV
Are you running modded
i think relic blade is the best "support" zealot weapon since it can function without heavy tree investment
otherwise, it's just crusher
only a few

There’s an arcane code I can pull in like half an hour
You put it in your launch options and it prevents ram crashes
I used it with my fucking 50 mods or whatever and everything is fine
interestingly I tried this and it mostly just prevents my game from running lol
Flamer is a weapon for players that are good at the game
Because you then need to use the knife to kill enemies from range, and if you're not good with hitting weakspots from range with the knife then you dont have a ranged tool
Players not good with the knife should prob just use something like the combat knife, combat axe, or the new greatsword with a different gun
Does survivalist work now when doing the resupply veteran penance?
Or do I gotta fucking slog through with this sub par dookie loadout
Anyones mods broken currently?
is max voidblast with the yellow thing gud?
i have two "transcendent"s in my loudout
one staff and a sword
wdym yellow?
that’s the highest quality
yes, it gives you 2 perks and 2 blessings
though in order to max out the weapon’s stats (damage, finesse, etc) you have to master the weapon family
which you do by using the weapon, or sacrificing weapons to that family at hadron (sacrificing weapons of the same family gives you significantly more XP for mastery)
you can view your mastery in your inventory
has it rlly not been 2 weeks since the last commodor reset?
Or does the grim protocol update techincally count as a shop refresh
Who wants to help me get the on overwatch penance done?
no one
whgich penance is that?
The one where you cant take any melee damage on a malice level
oh yeeeeah
lemme think rq
I can try helping you. but i wont be available for too long @dark jay
Alright lets get it
aight lemem launch rq
I'm in strike team 10 my psn tag is Foodog27
Alright. im on pc. so im gonan need your ingame tag
like the number. u should find i tin your social menu
Okay one sec
you see that option at the bottom right
thats where u get access to the menu
Idk what button you would press on playstation
Got it
did we get it?
No we did not
god dammn
I didn't even get hit
Maybe you did. there was one part when the chaos spawned. It got pretty wild
right before that even
that was all the time I had... sorry but i gtg I cant run another
If you still need help with it later I might be able to help but for now i gtg

Just to make sure since I haven't played in a while - is it normal that i'd be able to max out a new build in one night? It seemed like I was able to max out a zealot build/weapons/trinkets in just a few hours last night, but maybe I missed some kind of progression? Just seems way easier than it used to be, which is the opposite of what I expected
yup
It takes like 5 minutes to get a BIS weapon of any variety (provided you have the mastery)
If you don't you can do it in 10 but its expensive
Alright, thanks! Yeah, the mastery was what took a few hours. I just thought there'd be... more... but I guess I can just wait a while longer to see if they do add something.
Mastery is really quick if you're rich
just buy 10937501395 green weapons of that variety and sacrifice them
Yeah, I have a few million, didn't realize I could just eat my old items until I was almost done with the grind
Does the 10 percent brain burst on damage count towards related penances for psyker?
hey guys, how do I farm more plasteel?
I accidentally use them on random things when I first started and now I lack alot of them...
easiest way is quickplay damnation for plasteel/diamantine
Anyone having any luck using that Party Finder?
Ya
is there any fancy way to get max stat curios? Usually only ever find 2 stamina, 16% toughness etc
gambling at melk, otherwise you just have to wait and check the armoury every hour
I haven't seen a max roll on the curios since the itemization update. Other than spamming Melk for randoms, to get like 1 out of 20 maxed.
Are stat boosts like +crit chance additive?
is killing poxwalkers okay or is it a sin
Yes
Damage and crit chance is additive
Damage resistance is multiplicitive generally
There are a few cases where it's different across the game but generally you're best off assuming it's additive, and multiplicitive if dr
Thank you
Depends on the specific buff
should I buy random item in the shop and feed it to haddron for free mastery?
It is faster to have the same weapon. For example sacrifice heavy las pistols for heavy las pistol mastery. The xp difference between green and gold is minimal so it's easier to mass sacrifice green.
can anybody help me w/ getting the zealot penance that requires a private party?
idk if this is the right place to ask 😭
sure thing, you still need help?
yeah 😔 im mute so uhh i can type for communication
i got a stealth/crit build so im just going for zooms
no problem
you can join me in a sec
okee
ready when ye are
how do i join u? i usually play pubs thas why 😮
open the social menu, press e and then copy in the number right next to my name
nope we just speed run a heresy mission with stealth if you are fine with that
yes
has to be private tho
oh i set it to public i see
just be sure to get hit, until you have less than a wound left
yes sah
I know that but just wonder if it's a good idea to buy random wep and feed it to their wep category
i think i goofed up the health bit i can't believe that slipped past me @kind flame
no worries, we just try again
Could I join you two ? I need the penance as well
we just try again
sure you can use my fs code
Just joined
@honest estuary @kind flame thank you so much 😭
Thank you both as well 🙂
i can finally go to sleep now c:
no problem was a team effort
in a havoc just now I got instant fullkilled by mauler twice, no downed state. Is this just a thing in havoc or??? never had this happen before. I had no corruption at all
Havoc introduces hidden modifiers that nerf you and buff enemies, one such modifier (and what killed you) is corruption dmg applied as a % of dmg dealt, which leads to overheads instant killing
jesus, ok thanks lol
Hey im using the maul and shield but as soon as i start blocking my stamina just is gone
I have +12 block efficency
Anyonr help?
That's because certain enemies are hardcoded to almost instantly break your stamina (Bulwarks, Crushers, Maulers) and just blocking in the middle of a horde is a great way to get your stamina shredded regardless
Blocking doesn't work nearly as well as it did in vermintide
Your primary method of damage mitigation is proactive (violence, stagger) or dodging
how does Skullcrusher work? 10% from me? 10% damage flat from weapon? 10% receives more dmg?
how does it work? pretty well tbh
40% damage on 1 stack, 80% on 2 stacks. If you stagger something twice or knock it on down on it's ass, you're gonna be doing almost double damage
So pretty good, yeah
Dueling sword needs a nerf against armor
4 as it’s a single hit instance
yea smaul special is A) I need to stun this thing NOW or B) to apply electrocution on enemies you can't stagger with your normal attacks to benefit from high voltage
oh and bulwark opening
that is one thing about the shock maul that is really funny you can just delete bulwarks with it
is the base damage value on weapons random, too, or is it fixed?
why am I crashing 3 or 4 times a mission?
quick question guys, do auras stack? I don't think they do but weren't sure on that off chance if they did with diminishing returns
thanks in advance
same aura no
you can upgrade the weapon stats at hadron
from X% to 80%
thanks
any specific stuff i can do to make plasteel farming easier? aside from picking em up lol
Hi is there a code system to play with friends from another format?
when you open your in-game social menu, on the bottom right will be a button to "find players." Pressing that will also display your Fatshark code, give that to your friend or enter your friend's code in the field provided
Quickplay damnation +skulls +idols afaik is still the best plasteel farm
Hi! I'm kinda new to the game and I don't know if i found a good weapon for my character or not. I found this weapon in brunt's armory which has 80% Max in all stats save for 1.
I'm level 13 and the weapon rating is 200 which is my current max for the force greatsword mastery and without thinking it through I just made it max rarity since I have lots of materials.
which stat does it not have 80 in?
warp res
I already have it
Then keep it
I just didn't know if it was good or not
favourite it and upgrade and there you go
Level up the mastery to max and upgrade the stat
Ok ok thanks
Gois? why is the quality of my weapon not increasing after upgrading it? This wasn't like this before.....
the quality is increasing
if you mean the stats
that increases when you empower the weapon
which you need to have mastery to do
how do i increase my mastery fast?
I can't increase it 😦
use the weapon family in game, or sacrifice weapons to that family at hadron
sacrificing weapons of the same family gives a significant amount more of XP
Hey! New here, I am trying to complete the “Just a flesh wound” penance for my zealot but have no idea how to find people for it or where to ask for help or even really how to do it
a weapon needs to be green quality at least to be sacrificed
asking here is fine, or you can as in #vox-lfg-lexicanum
thanks for the tips
does your character level affect how high you can roll curios for melk?
if I have a friend in my party, can we together join someone else's party when joining through party finder?
hey whats a good way to get alot of palasteel
Pretty sure yes unless they changed it
Play quickplay damnation
anyone know a fix for the "someone in your party is not eligible" bug on havoc? getting real irritating 😭
Claim the havoc reward first
Question. At what point should a player attempt Havoc assignments? How comfortable should one be with damnation Auric missions/Damn Auric Malestrom before attempting Havoc? I know Havoc goes from 1-40, and has special modifiers but that is about it.
General Info
-
Ranks 1 to 10 are Malice difficulty
-
Ranks 11 to 20 are Heresy difficulty
-
Ranks 21 to 30 are damnation difficulty
-
Ranks 16 to 29 have an "increased difficulty" mutator
-
Ranks 30+ have the "highest difficulty" mutator
Increased difficulty mutator is just Emperors Fading Light (1)
Highest difficulty mutator is just Emperors Fading Light (2)
Emperors fading light makes shooters (basic gun dudes) shoot much faster and more frequently while also removing the grace period after your toughness breaking in addition to other stuff
Very quickly makes ranged trash super threatening
i think casual player can play till havoc 25
so is there no way to do this penance completely solo?
i can't host a private game by myself apparently
nope you need atleast 2 person
soooo, this havoc game mode sure be, huh fellas? shit aside, weren't we supposed to get a rewards chest each week?
where funny currency
Give it a minute
ah
the currency arrives
the wealth is plentiful
i will now upgrade a weapon and lose all of it
What's a good stat to start with so that I can upgrade it without wasting mats?
Just find one with 80% max on every stat, and a 60% mobility one
thanks!
has anyone else noticed a not insignificant change in enemy collision? my friends and i have gotten stuck in some unfortunate situations that maybe didnt happen before and im looking to make sure it isnt just us
Mobility and defense are the two meta dump stats. If you see anything in the shop with 60% in either of those, grab it.
For psyker weapons, warp resistance is also an agreed-upon dump stat
https://preview.redd.it/u510657kcpyd1.png?width=679&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d548d9eb3b30b2dd66bb8363eadaaf7f1c28eb49
Handy chart I found on reddit. I can't vouch for every item but it all makes sense from the looks of it
Oh hey its wrong, it ignores collateral on literally everything but ogryn weapons, blast radius on Voidstrike, damage on zealot flamer, defences on chaxe, and plasma's unique situation of 69 thermal 71 charge
Eh I've seen people argue about those points ad nauseum
Skill, not stats, makes 99% of the actual difference is what I'll say
Oh I also missed force sword being listed as mobility instead of warp res
Still, I don't think the chart is necessarily wrong-wrong. All of those listed stats are at the very least viable and reasonable dump stats.
it's at the very least misleading for people that actually want perfect rolls
Counterpoint: having what you think is a perfect stat spread adds +20 sanity bonus, and it's not worth the -10 sanity penalty to find out your stat spread is ackchyually 0.5% less than strictly optimal
.5% less optimal when you miss an entire extra shot/swing before overheating
Counterpoint: misinformation, even when coming from someone trying to help, is not as good as actually correct information
as an aside, Its kind of funny how easy it is to tell its made by an ogryn main without looking at the headers
literally
ogryn mains!!!
cannot be trusted
Countercounterpoint: This kind of minutiae isn't worth bickering over and actually has plenty of room for subjectivity. Depending on individual playstyle, role flexibility, situational team dynamics, personal taste, etc. etc., there is very much wiggle room for which dump stat is strictly best. The chart is a good-enough starting point for newer players and is in no way "misinformation".
I find this really funny from someone who said meta when they brought it up
You can't just say meta and then talk about subjectivity
Not really. The meta of "dump mobility/defense" works as a good rule of thumb.
Plasma gun charge rate dump is misinformation enough
Until it doesn't
The two points do not contradict each other.
If someone asks for meta or receives something labeled meta they assume it is the absolute most optimized way to play/do something
Incorrect. Meta, by its very definition, means it is something favored by most players, who are still very much fallible. It in no way implies it is "absolute most optimized".
it’s not really subjective at all in a lot of situations though
Meta in gaming literally means “most effective tactic available”
That’s how it got abbreviated into “meta” in the first place
When the difference is slight and so easily overshadowed by ever-changing gameplay situation, it absolutely is.
I'm fucking sorry what why are we bringing up an incorrect version of an exact definition
Plasma loses one shot out of like 6 before venting, PGS loses an entire swing
do these 2 effects not work together the way I thought they would? I thought a 100% chance to crit would proc the soulblaze effect but it's just not
Plasma goes from 8 to 7
In essence, a "meta" in gaming terminology is a generally agreed upon strategy by the community.
No. It simply means generally agreed-upon "best tactic". Meta is inherently subjective, not objective.
Blazing requires what you hit doesn't die
Thanks, didn't remember the exact number cause I hate that gun
their taking 43 dmg in the training area, not dying but also not being set on fire
Oh then it might just be bugged
You can argue semantics all you want, that chart is still objectively wrong in many areas
You're the one who started arguing semantics but whatever
Either way running riposte or shred usually wins out over blazing on literally everything but trauma
But it is wrong
that'd be a shame or just a blessing combo they missed when adding Wrap Slice
Is “pointing out a mistake” wrong???
i think kerfus made it? can get quick revision
Here you are, still arguing semantics
Either way with the intended use of warp slice being 1-2 charge shots that oneshot basically everything 4 stacks would be useful against it still wouldn't work all that well
But it would be cool
Idrc who made it, it still has some parts wrong
I mostly value horde clear and these 2 blessing sounded like they would work very together well for such a task
Warpshock wave oneshots trash at close past 1st empowerment
and at 2nd I think it does up to max range
I would still suggest riposte or shred, Blazing just doesn't work well with melee weapons
Most stuff you crit with a force sword is super dead
I use wrap surge over empowerment, get more use out of it.
I meant the charges
The little things by the crosshair
ah those
The chart is good enough in my book as a starting point for new players. You might not squeeze out every last fraction of a percentage point of power that autistic nerds argue over, but you won't really go wrong by following it. It ain't mine and you're more than welcome to correct it with more data-crunching. If you do end up doing that, more power to you.
They don't really have a name so I picked something
Meta literally means using the meta game
Stats and numbers not available directly during the game
Sure someone’s take on the meta can be wrong
But the meta goal is objective
What objectively is the best statistically
And that chart is simplified to the point of misinfo
Also mobility dump on flamer
Sad!
If you don’t find it worth bickering over then you should just move aside cause some new person could feel lied to and confused from being told the wrong information
how do i increase my lvl cap from 30? I see people who are lvl 40 😦
you're seeing the Havoc rank, it has the skull icon next to it
that one goes up to 40
i added the hardron omega bot to my discord server, i have it showing me damnation missons on the misson board, does anyone know how to make it only show the maelstrom ?
You're just straight up wrong. Sit down and shut up.
or what, you'll call me fat
lil bro calm down
Cry harder.
it's only a game
Take your own advice
i aint the one in a tizzy
You're still wrong lmao
A metagame is a game that exists beyond the core game, or the strategies and approaches used to play a game. The term comes from the Greek prefix meta, which means "beyond".
Try again.
calling you 007
0 rebuttals, 0 dubs, 7 comments before you call someone fat for some reason
You are weak and your words are weak
You are out here swinging with noodle arms and still missing
how can i have noodle arms if i'm fat?
Double reply 
time is a circle
still nothing debunking what i said about the meta game/meta gaming
You're still wrong.
I've already stated that "meta" is community-driven and thus falliable and subjective. But you're just too stupid to read.
But that's incorrect, the meta is based around the real stats of how things works
Try again.,
people who make up their metas can be falliable and subjective, much like you using crit perks
Keep malding lmao
but the concept of metagaming is grounded in objective facts built into the game itself
how much damage X does, the attack speed of Y, the proc rate of E
You're just desperately arguing that 1+1=3 because your feelings got hurt
it's about taking these objective stats and putting them together to find what is the best statistically
Congrats on misunderstanding the entire concept. The game might have stats, but the meta is how players exploit them—it's not objective, and pretending it is just proves you're out of your league.
that's usage and application of the meta by players, but it is not the metagame 
Congrats on proving me right
I accept your concession of defeat.
Bit of a question, but how am I supposed to get higher clearance levels in Havoc when everyone in 11-20+ keep declining my join requests?
host your own
you should be at 16 if you cleared an auric maels
Or, if you can actually handle the difficulty, put on your purple/gold titles and frames and keep spamming requests. Havoc hosts get a lot of requests and will choose the sweatiest-looking high level people, but hey you might just get lucky. Just be sure to pull your own weight if you get in.
Thanks.
hello, does the premium shop have rotation?
Yes. Every 2 weeks.
Every two weeks on thursday. This week should be a rotation.
Kinda weird when you think about it tbh. The cosmetics shop seems so limited and rotates so slowly that you'd think Fatshark hates money.
I see, thanks folks
Isn't Tencent dealing with the cosmetic shop?
(Which would make it even weirder since they're premium money lovers)
it rotates, but i seem to always miss the stuff i was after 😄
Its so you feel bad when you pass up on a past rotation and you tell yourself never again
So you buy on next rotation
Can someone please tell me how I can get the different versions of weapons? Like the 2 different versions of the shock mauls?
in the inventory, choose the weapon, and on the top-right you'll see marks
the button
Aha! Thank you
Anyone got some tips for someone who’s just starting auric missions?
Kill
Dodge
Don't stall
Stick to these nu-
Sometimes you'll be in a bad spot and flamers keep spawning, bombers everywhere and stuff like that, you either fall back or push through
commit lots of heretic murder so there are no heretics left to murder you
great success
Cheers lads
Will a DH go aggro based on proximity?
I assume as much, so let me ask a better question: How close do you have to get to a daemon host to make it aggro?
if it's laying down you can get fairly close but if it's standing up it's "alert" and has a much larger proximity
Is there any tech for taking down a dh quickly similarly to crowning a witch in l4d? I tend to just avoid them if possible
Zealot, shroudfield, thunderhammer with thrust
Problem solved
Gunlugger
When glowing green just try and maintain 10m distance at the minimum (in case of average darktide moment sending you flying into the DH)
Okay so there are two sort of "phases" before it goes aggro? So weird. I got downed nearish to it, in a net, once I got helped up it just went all aggro on me. Was on the ground and then just floated up and killed me as I backed off from it (didn't attack or anything). Thought I'd have been okay only "waking" it
probably the time spent in proximity
if you were netted
Ahh alright
What’s with the random surge in error code 2014?
Won’t let me progress in havoc missions no matter what. Even at week end I cannot get past havoc 16? Is anyone having this same issue. I’m baffled.
is it just me, or is hi intensity shock troop heresy difficult af
Just you
Hey man don’t come at me like that you’ll get there.
alr so since its not hard, could you do it with only 3 other bots as teammates?
or maybe like 1 real teammate and 2 bots
Both
auric?
auric difficulties are pretty difficult
especially for newer players
yes
i can solo a heresy
even with no bots
(letting them die or using a mod)
auric damnation too
I didnt know there was a difference between auric heresy hi intensity and standard heresy hi intensity
Same difficulty and modifier?
Aurics have special director tweaks
I dont see how even standard hi intensity can be soloed, sometimes so many enemies spawn to where you cant even see whats going on around you
a good priority kill list
aurics have a higher tension modifier
so more spawns in general
denser hordes, more elites, specials, sometimes more boss spawns
yah
specific OP builds can do it with relative ease
but being able to do it with not OP weapons (devils claw, eviscerator, etc)
is what’s really impressive
super good game sense and spatial awareness
you gotta really no life this game to do that shit
Have somebody a tipp for the gone bowling penance
All you need is a long hallway or chokepoint and dense horde. So play high intensity/Auric/Maelstrom and a not so open map. Modifiers like ventilation purge can keep the whole horde untouched by your team.
Ive been wondering for a while how doesa this game run for everyone else? I dont have the best of the best gaming pc but my shit is pretty up there all things considered. 3060 ti, 32 gigs of ram, etc, but I always see my frames drop below 60 (I have it capped at 60) and my quality settings are on medium-high. So is it the same for everyone else?
Cuz like its fine but little drops to 50-45 from time to time kinda bother me
What CPU? Do you use ray tracing?
@raw smelt
and at the moment no. ray tracign is currently off
and so is the rtx global illumination
not enough performance. thats without 50+ things constantly on fire, soulblaze and bleeding i assume
Yeah i5-10400F will dip in dense hordes ☹️
My taxe a-i-ii solo 
do it with a mk3 evis….
Does de "+x% experience" affix on trinkets work for weapon mastery xp?
No
So once I get a char to level 30 it's useless
Or are there rewards for leveling on further?
yeah unless you want to farm true level with the mod enabled
which is just a number
ah
okay then Im changin those affixes, thanks 😄
also, the power level of trinkets matters?
not really
so its okay to have , say 200 pwr lvl trinket with all affixes maxed out
ye
are there trinkets at higher power level that have, say instead of +1 wound, + 2 wounds?
+1 wound is max for the wound ones
okay, thanks a ton Jerk O matic hahah
havoc question - will my current clearance level remain the same if i demote my current assignment rank?
Clearance is the highest you’ve completed this week so it won’t go down during the week
What difficulty/intensity would havoc 1 be closest to, Or does it start off way above everything else?
Under malice i'd say?
Malice difficulty
Oh wow lol. Been holding off thinking it'd be at least HI heresy. Alrighty thanks, havoc here I come
21+ is damnation
1~10 is malice
11~20 is heresy
what dump stat should i have for the sapper shovel? mobility?
Defences
Thanks!
does charge rate actually still matter for plasma?
I see multiple posts in this discord/reddit claiming that info is outdated, as the charge rate damage bug was fixed in patch a long time ago.
Then I see people saying that charge rate still matters. Am I missing something or are people repeating outdated info?
I dont see why fatshark would remove charge rate actualy doing its job of charging the plasma alt-fire faster after patching the old bug. So in it current state all it really does for you is charge upo the rifle a second faster than you would without it
I see, are charged shots worth it? I see conflicting info about whether charging is worth doing due to damage/ammo/time ratio
Personaly? I dont really see the benefit of charge rate cuz at the end of the day youre saving a very miniscule amount of time between each shot. So in my professioanl opinion I wouldnt be bothered with it
But at the same time. i forgot what the other benefits on the plasma rifle for the veteran are. If mobility is one of them charge rate is probably a better choice
not sure if this has been asked already, but for the Zealot Relic Blade, "Overload" says it causes an explosion upon reaching the lockout state, but whenever I heatup the weapon it doesn't seem to actually -do- anything?
i believe the most optimal set up is listed in vet chat
it's 69 in one stat and 71 in another, charge rate and thermal resistance
i don't remember which one tho
yeah, I'm already aware of the optimal setup
Was mainly asking about whether "optimal" matters in this case, since I was previously unsure about the importance of charged shots
given the answers, seems like charge rate doesn't matter at all (single shot is always better) and it might as well be a dump stat
This is not true
If you’re broke on resources or unlucky, a 60% thermal resist dump would probably be the next best thing since you only lose 1 shot in continuous fire and the core functionality (vent at max heat to shoot twice) is unchanged
thanks for the info 
I wasn't aware charge rate also affected hipfire rate, I just assumed it applied to the alt fire. Wish fatshark was less opaque about what stats actually do, but FS gonna FS
It’s written in the game actually, affects both hipfire (regular) and brace (charged)
oopsy daisy... I didnt mean alt-fire I meant any fire. Im just a squid who only uses the alt fire on the plasma rifle
So how do you get 500 power weapons? Like from sire melk? Bc I’m max level and I only see 380s in there. Do you only get 500 power from empowering them yourself?
yes
max level mastery lets you empower weapon to 500
Ohhhh alright bet thank you
how do I reroll my dump stat? I can change perks and blessings and empower rating, but don't see where reroll is
Buy a new one 
It's the only RNG left on crafting system
ahh.... that's brutal, I shouldn't have sold off my older weapons
It's easier then before
although I don't even know what my dump stats are lol
What weapon
ogryn maul and shield
hmm... so I should go to armory and keep buying shield until I get 60% defense?
Yep if you want to
ahh... I have a dump stat mod and this whole time I thought red was bad, but it's actually good
does collateral as dump stat for twin-linked heavy stubber sound correct?
Yes
thank you 🙂
hello i'm pretty new and some help... i saw in some yt videos, that the crosshair is available an psy weapons. But i get only a white dot. I cheked in the options, and a have a few crosshairs, but i cant use them on psi weapons.. Is it just me?
Mods 
Can use mods to add crosshair
PC only
ah ok, ty
do low rating weapons have no dump stat?
Wdym
There's max potential stat
Looked like this 20/60%
oh, I guess I mean weapons from when I was first leveling
I have a combat axe that's rating 110 and all 5 stats are [30/76%]
That's a weird distribution 
fellas can you tell me which mod allows me to see m total kills in my screen?
and also is there nay fov mod?
btw whats the differences between hi intensity engagement zone and hi intensity shock troop gauntlet
one has the shock troop modifier on top and the other doesnt?
Hi intensity is special + horde wave spam
Hi shock adds elite in the mix i think
Can someone just confirm for me. Do blessing that apply debuffs apply the debuff before or after the damage?
