[pearl ginkgo]

how do you get red items??
i have multiple 500 weapons with max blessings etc
but theyre still orange

[lime idol]

It’s a display mod

[pearl ginkgo]

ohhhhhhhh

ok thanks 🙂

[ebon flower]

which is the dumpstat on mk iii shock maul and which is the one on the mkxi double barreled shotgun?

[pulsar acorn]

hey i can't queue on pandemonium anyone knows why

[late valley]

try hitting e on the party finder menu

[silk spoke]

Soo currious question, Combat Axe vs Tactical Axe
From what i can see Combat Axe outshines Tactical Axe on every point.
Damage output, Mobility, Crit/Weakspot damage, Damage basicly vs any other enemy type
Why would you ever pick Tactical Axe what is the reason for its existance?

[lime idol]

outside of "fun", not much

[silk spoke]

yeah i presumed so, I was kinda expecting it to be this mobile assasination axe weapon but i started looking in on it. And it just sucks there is no reason to run it other then astetic i guess

even with all 3 marks i feel like the attack pattern is just worse then of the Antax

I guess it attacks way faster thats the only upside.

but since most blessings and passives work on per kill not per hit. And since this weapon needs a 100 hits to kill a basic enemy vs 1 hit of the Combat axes... its not worth it

[unreal falcon]

is2fg. do people actually play the auric oops all monsters missions

without bringing at least one person with a bolter, maybe two

it's so incredibly silly

[void forge]

Do you think the boltgun is the only anti boss weapon or something

[unreal falcon]

can i get an answer from someone who's not a salty lil bitch

[void forge]

The answer is yes, people even true solo 3veg with no boltgun

[zealous dome]

Bolter is not the only anti boss weapon

Dueling Sword

Knife

Eviscerator 15

Chain axe

The Goat itself, Thunderhammer

The Vraks 5

Ogryn Folding Shovel

Gunlugger Ogryn

[broken raft]

Also just an autogun can do work on a boss if you hit the weakspot

Mk7 shovel

[zealous dome]

Agripina Revolver

Inferno
Electrokinectic

[unreal falcon]

once again this proves itself the reading comprehension channel

i did not ask what good boss weapons were

i asked if people do auric maelstrom monstrous specialists + specialist waves at all, or without weapons that are aggressively good at boss killing

[broken raft]

The asnwer is yes people play it, yes they normall plan for it

You salty bitch

[void forge]

Holy and he called me salty lmao

Must have gotten pounded his last mission and just came to vent about bosses

[unreal falcon]

i mean there's a difference between immediately looking for a fight and being mildly peeved that the only people to respond are responding to the assumption made by the nerd immediately looking for a fight

[zealous dome]

Well good luck next time

[broken raft]

Well there you go, there is an answer

Yes, and people use a variety of different methods for it which we listed

Which either allow you to kite bosses while doing damage, or just kill the boss

[void forge]

Some people (Dorn) even specifically hunted for 3veg maelstrom because it was considered the toughest modifier before havocs were a thing

[unreal falcon]

i don't think you get any points for guessing that i have been a part of a variety of strike teams that all got folded by this modifier, yes lmao

and yes i was partly venting but the main thing i was after was "do people have specialized builds for this or can a normal build that can handle a normal amount of monsters handle it"

[silk spoke]

The Revolvers work great too

[broken raft]

Ok, the asnwer to that is yes people hunting that modifier have special builds, but most normal builds can also do it

For example autogun dueling sword, perfectly fine in a boss rush assuming you can aim

[void forge]

People do have specialized builds for monsters, but the best builds can deal with anything

[broken raft]

Crusher kantrael shotgun on the other hand less so

[unreal falcon]

the mildly annoying part is i am actually trying to get the penance for the new hazard mods, one of which is lights out, so i'm playing them whenever they pop up

current auric mael is lights out + monstrous

so on vet i'm basically stuck with an iag? not literally but kind of

(as i want a flashlight for the rest of it)

[broken raft]

This is where mods are broken

with mods you can put a flashlight on a bolter

[void forge]

You can use your melee for bosses and pick a ranged weapon that suits you if you want. No reason to confine yourself to just iags

[broken raft]

Though for vanilla your best bet is iag with a thunder hammer on zealot

[unreal falcon]

yeah honestly i was leaning that way

[broken raft]

Issue is flashlight

Other option is to run a vet krak build

[unreal falcon]

i like my shredders too much

but yes true

[silk spoke]

Btw the Flamer amazing weapon for Monstrocities

[broken raft]

Grenade tinkerer means 2 kraks=dead lesser bon

[void forge]

Recons also have flashlights in that case

[broken raft]

True, I just like the iag more

Better irons

[unreal falcon]

yeah the other flashlight-having weapons have shitty narrow lights too

i think the autopistol has a decent one? but it's the autopistol.

[broken raft]

Autopistol might do okay boss damage actually

[unreal falcon]

god that'd be a crackheaded vet build wouldn't it

wep specialist stealth autogun

autopistol*

i'm going to try that 50% for the memes and 50% because the novelty factor is funny

[zealous dome]

Nah, hard pass

Get the Vraks 5

Flashlight

[unreal falcon]

's what i'm currently using

[zealous dome]

Boss damage

[unreal falcon]

i don't have it particularly boss spec'd tho. crit/unyielding/dumdum? maybe raking fire since honestly the best way to be fighting monsters as vet is when someone else has aggro

[unreal falcon]

'nother thing i'm getting real tired of

hitting Q and the game deciding "nah actually you are not going to switch weapons"

i'm not trying to abuse QQ-canceling or anything i just want to be fuckin blocking and not ADSing

is there a setting i can tweak for that shit

[broken raft]

not gonna lie, with scroll wheel I never have issues swapping

[unreal falcon]

do you also have weapon special bound to clicking the scroll wheel?

[broken raft]

nah, scroll up and down

[lament trellis]

Is it just me or are havocs more chill than auric storms?

Mainly due to players that I encounter mind

[gusty whale]

doubt it does it better than autoguns though which it shares a lot with

[broken raft]

oh yeah

hence okay and not good

[gusty whale]

you will often find a lot of defensive ults which makes havoc a lot less "kill or die" than aurics

[rose terrace]

Not really gameplay help but can someone help me set up mods for Darktide pretty please? I set them up before but then I messed up the load order and i just need help figuring out what i messed up please

I cant get my game to start at all either so I think I really messed up lol

or my load order or something else is just out of place

[rose terrace]

Turned off mods for now so i can play but please ping me if you ffel like helping out a fellow reject

[timid holly]

@rose terrace from my limited experience with mods when you launch the game with mods usually it will give youa popup ingame if theres some kind of error. If your game is crashing when the game launches thats probably vcuz one of your mods is like out of date/doesnt work with the new update/is missing some sort of requriment causing it to crash instantly so youd have to go through the list and figure out which mod that might be

[rose terrace]

ok

'thank you

[timid holly]

[zealous sapphire]

funny enough, there is a mod for that. The game arbitrarily blocks weapon swaps at certain points of animations and will straight up eat your inputs, which the mod fixes

[little coyote]

Think it happens most often if you are holding M2 whilst trying to change it I've noticed

not every time though

[zealous sapphire]

according to the mod

Some certain frame of melee attacking animation
Some certain frame of ADS animation
Some certain frame of gun bracing animation
Some certain frame while firing Laspistol
Push attack animation
Reving chain weapon.
Charging Psyker's force sword.
Rumbler equiping animation.

[little coyote]

yeah the ADS and gun bracing ones are the ones I've noticed

when trying to quickly change to the melee weapon to block

I don't really mind having some trouble changing to ranged weapons some times but not being able to get a melee weapon out and block is pretty impactful

what's the mod called? Might give it a try

[zealous sapphire]

Guarantee Weapon Swap

[little coyote]

cheers

[sour pulsar]

hi intensity shock troop has to be harder than maelstroms of the same difficulty i swear

in maelstroms there arent like a thousand gunners or snipers

[little coyote]

depends which maelstrom modifiers you get I recon

[autumn storm]

Hi how do i focus target as a veteran on ps5 taking the keystone focus target

[gusty whale]

meleestrom is definitely more difficult
or monstrous specialists

[vocal nacelle]

open your setting and search for tag/ping button

usually tied to social wheel

[autumn storm]

Is that the control pad mapping on settings?

[vocal nacelle]

i guess?

[vocal nacelle]

maybe its the same with ps5 controller?

[autumn storm]

Sorry im at work so will sort it out thank you 🙏

[fading tree]

my game keeps on disconnecting, sometimes multiple times per mission

in other games my internet connection is fine, what is causing this?

[autumn storm]

Happens to me also just close the game and restart

[raw smelt]

How bad is this ? Should i wait for new map ? I am at 3/5 for Auric Storm Survivor.

[vocal nacelle]

how good are you dodging 6 disabler at once + monster

[raw smelt]

i will skip then, ty

[zealous dome]

Bad

[kindred inlet]

if you have any desire to avoid hard missions to increase your ASS chance then that is the pinnacle example of a mission to avoid

[unreal falcon]

yo holy shit.

i did not think fatshark would be this crackheaded, but yeehaw i am absolutely getting that mod. what the fuck. cheers

[zealous dome]

If you're unlucky you get two weakened bosses and a normal one

All Nurgle blessed

[mellow zinc]

Hello guys.

What's the best way to deal with ragers? Outside of spotting them before they get close and putting them down with bullets.

[vocal nacelle]

what class what weapon

[mellow zinc]

Having a hard time dealing with them melee. I use a zealot.

[vocal nacelle]

use your weapon special

[mellow zinc]

Oh.

Yeah, brute force as a solution does sound a very 40K thing to do.

[zealous dome]

Push attack on the axes

Special on the heavy sword

Heavies or activated attacks on the Crusher Maul

Dueling Sword special

Chastise into them

Flamer M1 puffs

[unreal falcon]

if you have the space, just outdistance them. they'll run up to you to start their combo, but they don't run during their combo and it takes them a second to complete.

any zealot blitz is honestly great for them, but if you hit them with a knife it usually takes at most one heavy to kill them and get the knife back

and yeah, dueling sword special staggers them (maybe only on a headshot, but it's hyper-reliable if it connects). get into the habit of chaining a special after a heavy stab, it comes out really fuckin quick

[mellow zinc]

Thanks for the tips folks, I'll put them to practice and see what comes out of it.

For the record, I'm using the hammer. Don't have the name on me right now, the big one that zaps.

[raw smelt]

Pretty sure Thunderhammer heavy bonk to the head will at least stagger Rager out of combo. Mighy be my blessing+tallents tho

[unreal falcon]

the ironhelm might be okayish at dealing with ragers, but other than that it's pretty mid, so i'm assuming you're using the crucis, which is fine for any single target, but it's going to be pretty bad against more than one rager. at the very least you need the left-side talent that makes you uninterruptable after hitting however-many enemies, but even that requires there to also be trash mobs to farm stacks. against a group of only ragers thammer isn't great in my experience so you'll want to focus on avoiding them and getting to a distance where you can use ranged.

Hey anyone know what happened to the Excise Vault Spireside map? I can't find it anywhere, It's just gone.

[unreal falcon]

thanks sah, i'll try my best sah

it worked!

[unreal falcon]

good work big man

[outer pebble]

not sure if the official darktide discord is where to look but I figured I'd ask. I can't get mods to work right, I just want a scoreboard at the end of the game. perchance someone could assist?

[little compass]

Is there any benefit to spamming heavy attack while running around with the knife? Whenever I watch a video of people using it they do it, but it doesn't seem to noticeably increase speed or anything.

[zealous dome]

Iirc you get 20 or 30% extra speed when charging heavies

[zealous dome]

#📌communities message

[little compass]

Thanks, I guess I'm just not observant enough to notice the increase

[unreal falcon]

it might be the fov settings or something, or it's just harder to notice when you're not watching someone else be fukken sanic

[blazing kiln]

I started a havoc mission, and we all got disconnected and now it won’t let me start it again? Anyone know the fix

[fading tree]

it's been happening in every mission for weeks now

[forest timber]

PlayStation player here can’t access missions atm. Is it just me or others having this issue???

[violet flicker]

I listed my party in party finder and was joined by people I didn't accept... is this because other people in the party can accept requests?

[lime idol]

yes

[violet flicker]

fml. thank you.

[rose terrace]

I only have up to date mods installed but my game keeps crashing when I start up the launcher, any ideas?

[lime idol]

Might want to reinstall mod loader

[unreal falcon]

big brain hours

havoc locked the whole party out if anyone hadn't done a maelstrom yet

but people can still bring their underleveled friends into auric missions

good old fatshark consistency

[ionic moth]

With a thammer your best bet is to use a crowd ranged weapon. Bolter (my choice), flamer, braced autogun, etc.

[lime idol]

Take grievous wounds talent, this allows the thunder hammers’ heavy attacks to stagger ragers out of their combos on weakspot hit

Otherwise use ranged weapons to deal with them

Hi - is there a way to deactivate bots in private games?

[sinful summit]

No but you can just let them die at the start then just not pick them up

[rose oyster]

hello there, can anyone pls help me with the "malleus monstronum" psyker penance (europe)? it's the private game one

[jaunty olive]

have you found your help yet?

[rose oyster]

nope

[jaunty olive]

aight lego then send me your friend code

[rose oyster]

ok, i'm doing a mission, after this one i'll send it to you ty

[jaunty olive]

sure just hmu

[rose oyster]

i've sent you a message 🙂

[forest agate]

when do I unlock the national dex? I've caught several poxwalkers and a plague ogryn using a trapper net and beat The Elite 4 am I doing something wrong?

[raven drum]

Hey, the remaining colour after the bright yellow is that how much I can max it out for empowering the weapon or that's just the compare with the current weapon I am wielding? and by comparing I mean the faded yellow colour shows the other weapons strength?

Also when empowering does the numbers on the right side mean that's the maximum power I can get?

[gusty whale]

Yes

[raven drum]

thank you 🙂

[broken raft]

You gotta go take the ferry to professor oak

In the other hive

[tight sable]

i just hit level 30 zealot, whats the best way to grind weapon mastery?

[gusty whale]

use weapons, buy up green+ weapons of the same type from brunt and sacrifice them

or, if you have spare materials, buy grey bases from brunt (of the same weapon family), upgrade to green, then sacrifice

[tight sable]

https://tenor.com/view/darktide-gif-8285970240646611836

[gusty whale]

[unreal falcon]

are lights out, pox gas and vent purge only found on auric nowadays? can't remember the last time i saw them on standard missions

[twilit grove]

So how does gunner resistance work on curios? Does it affect all gunner types or only certain ones? Does it apply to health, toughness, both?

[gusty whale]

gunner refers to gunner elites
dreg gunner, scab gunner, reaper
it applies to both health and toughness but if you are taking health damage from gunners you are probably already dead

[twilit grove]

Its here or there honestly, thanks though

[sinful summit]

It stacks multiplicitively like all other dr, so 3x 20% is realistically 49%, which means if you run it you can run 2x if you want something else for that 3rd slot
But it isn't worth completely ignoring either, it's still 20-49% dr against the most common elite in the game, and the most impactful dr perk by far, let's you get away with things that otherwise would kill you/chip into your health, and mitigates melee chip damage when they're up

[twilit grove]

I put three on my ogryn but i couldnt tell if it actually helped on higher difficulties

[sinful summit]

youll definitely notice it when youre in a position where you cant deal with those gunners while youre in melee and your team just does nothing about it

[fast urchin]

does the game have cross save yet, I wanna move my gamepass progress over to steam

[vocal nacelle]

no

[signal gate]

no, there is a ticket request system re-opening after jan 6th

but i'm fairly certain it's not a complete account transfer anyways

[fast urchin]

oh well

Ig Il buy the game on pc gamepass

I dont wanna redo all my progress, and crossplay is a thing, so it should be fine ig?

[signal gate]

pc gamepass has cross-save with xbox gamepass

as long as your account is the same on both

[fast urchin]

yeah I meant in terms of using pc gamepass as the platform over steam

which shouldnt have any downsides since you can crossplay with steam

[autumn storm]

Hi just wondering has anyone had game crashes error code CE-108255-1 happened twice today I’m on the ps5 pro

[echo sun]

and tips and tricks on error 4001?

I keep disconnecting when the Missions ends (not getting emperors gift but everything else)

[tame basalt]

how do i increase my movespeed

[stoic locust]

What class are you

[tame basalt]

ogryn

[stoic locust]

Thats the fun part

You don't

(On ogryn)

Theres like, one node I can think of that gives move speed

And ogryn doesn't have any movetech weapons

[zealous dome]

Cleaver

[tame basalt]

more context pls

[zealous dome]

Cleavers have a faster movement speed

[tame basalt]

sprint speed affects normal movement speed?

[zealous dome]

The mobility stat affects general move speed
So yeah

[tame basalt]

weird, i dont see that anywhere

or maybe thats only at a certain value or higher

[little compass]

is there a chart for how much diamantine and plasteel you can get per mission depending on difficulty?

[vocal nacelle]

i'll just say you can get 1100 plasteel and 305 diamantine on normal quickplay damnation

[little compass]

I'm a bit too much of a shitter to do damnation at this point. My gear is nearly maxed but I'm bad so I'm just breaching malice. The only gear I haven't been able to upgrade is my curios. I don't know how to get 400+ on them. The highest I've seen from both armory and melk are 390.

[vocal nacelle]

curio is RNG can only get it from brunt or melk

health max is 21, toughness 17 , stamina 3, wound 1

[little compass]

yeah trying to get the 400+ for a stam 3 but I guess I'm just unlucky

[sour pulsar]

is there a reason why we dont have a scoreboard in this game yet

[zealous dome]

Yes
Toxicity

[sour pulsar]

how come we have one in vermintide then

[vocal nacelle]

Because vermintide comes out before darktide

[storm mantle]

People haven't stopped being toxic from the scoreboards removal.

[tidal merlin]

whats the best what to do the just a flesh wound penance?

[storm mantle]

Speedrun.

[storm mantle]

It also isn't hard to tell apart good players from bad players. So this decision protects no one, either.

[vocal nacelle]

rolling steel mission or special assignment

[little compass]

Anyone else having issues with melk challenges rolling back? In mission it said I was done, now I'm 46 away after getting out.

[vocal nacelle]

try log out log in from character select

[little compass]

thank you

[distant prism]

Hey chat

I found that my cpu keeps bottlenecking my ass

Whenever I play any game like darktide or marvel rivals

Rivals seems to get great fps in one sec and the next it goes to 30

Can someone help me out with this it's pretty annoying

[mellow zinc]

I tried the bolter but it was so incredibly slow to deploy that I went back to the bolt pistol, which so far has never let me down.

[void forge]

Tknives mitigate the slow draw somewhat

[mental spruce]

Hi all 👋🏻

I've been playing for less than a week, question. At what level does it make sense to improve weapons, and also. You can sacrifice weapons of not any level, as I understand, but at least green ones, because the rest are not even displayed in the list.

Play Ogryn, 16 lvl🙄

[coral violet]

300+ power unless you find a unicorn roll(mostly psyker staffs). until character level 30 dont bother with upgrades, just use stuff that you like to get the mastery up and upgrade later

[mental spruce]

Thanks 🫶🏻

[quartz flint]

Can someone please explain to me the mechanic of 'toughness grace period'?

I have ideas what this may be but I'm not sure.

[late valley]

When your toughness is broken you take reduced ranged damage for a small period of time (75% or something I don't remember).

It's so you don't get instantly blasted by shotgunners

[quartz flint]

And this explains on havoc how I take 200 dmg from a gaggle of shotgunners after my toughness breaks

Thanks, makes sense now

[vocal nacelle]

Check the havoc guide on steam, enemy also got some nasty buff

[void forge]

I think toughness grace period is 50% ranged dr

[mellow zinc]

I have another question. Best way to handle multiple hounds modifier?

I got on a mission last night and we made it through somehow but those dogs were everywhere.

Annoying af.

[vocal nacelle]

Fast firing gun

Or aoe attacks

Throwing fire nade below you if you are a zealot

Go to sharp corner and camp there, dogs cant turn

[mellow zinc]

Is it better than the extended stun?

[vocal nacelle]

It's preference

[mellow zinc]

Alright. Thanks man. Very appreciated.

[vocal nacelle]

Few shots of bolter also works

Or line up the shot with revolver

[broken raft]

Push spamming

[formal chasm]

Does Falter actually do anything on Shock Maul? I was doing some testing and I didn't notice any difference, while Impact definitely caused heavier stagger

[formal chasm]

Ilisi Force Sword light attack spam murders a pack

[zealous dome]

Short asnwer: No
Longer answer: Breaks Ragers out of their combos

[formal chasm]

Seems 5 stacks of Impact does that better and knocks Maulers on their ass

[mellow zinc]

Do weapons with different names and skins in the same category have any meaningful difference?

[jaunty olive]

For example there are 2 Power swords, Mk III and MKVI. what changes are some of their stats like light and heavy dmg and their attack animations. So yes, alot changes.

[mellow zinc]

I'm asking this because I've found another heavy hammer with better stats and changed it and the heavy combo now has a third vertical hit. It caught me off guard in a mission, but outside of that, it works the same as the previous one.

[lime idol]

shotgunners actually bypass that mechanic entirely

it's mostly for gunners & ranged mob

[signal gate]

yes, that is the ironhelm variant, and what you had before was crucis, but you can swap the variant on the weapon freely on your inventory screen

[mellow zinc]

Good to know, thanks.

[broken raft]

Anyone made a table of the rewards for havok by level?

[smoky ember]

the special attack is different too

the special will cleave through any non elite/special enemies

and then activate when it hits an elite or special

it makes the ironhelm better at horde clear, as it does more damage while empowered

[jaunty olive]

when in inverntory you can change the Mk variation anytime.

[zealous dome]

The lights on the ironhelm are pretty underwhelming

[wary horizon]

Where can I find those free cosmetics from havoc?

[lime idol]

Penances

[tawny jungle]

can you change the npc's classes in a private match

[ionic moth]

When you have slaught stacks up light spam is especially good at controlling bunched up shotgunners and gunners while damaging them

[vocal nacelle]

no

its tied to vet with trash gun and skill at the current moment

[drowsy ruin]

Is there a hidden characteristic of tactical axes that allow them to stagger ragers out of their combo simply by spamming heavies even though their stagger damage on a weakspot hit is only 19 , whilst shock mauls can't even though their stagger damage is around 37 on a weakspot hit?

[smoky ember]

stagger damage is weird

@lime idol, what was the stagger with the chainsword(?)

that’s different from the displayed

[lime idol]

In-game stagger values are not displayed correctly

Do not trust them

I don’t bother with them either

[smoky ember]

ah

fair

[lime idol]

Chainsword cannot stagger elites without using activated attacks

And the activated attacks can only stagger ragers & maulers (one at a time)

Cannot stagger ogryns

[smoky ember]

it does on crit

crushers get staggered on crit

and i’m pretty sure bulwarks do get staggered

[lime idol]

Well, during the attack, yes

For bulwarks

But it doesn’t open their guard stance

[smoky ember]

well by that metric

evis doesn’t stagger them either

[lime idol]

I’m not sure about crusher stagger

Could be a zealot only thing ?

[smoky ember]

it’s not

[lime idol]

I tested on veteran and never got it to stagger

[smoky ember]

it does

weakspot crit staggers

[lime idol]

I can check rn

[smoky ember]

might just be crit

[lime idol]

But tbh
I wouldn’t count on crit for stagger

[smoky ember]

revved heavy mk13g absolutely does

i guarantee it

[lime idol]

What if it doesn’t

[smoky ember]

idk

you tested wrong

[smoky ember]

bloodthirsty (for mk15 evis)
blazing piety builds
chastise

i agree that it’s not a consistent stagger

and shouldn’t be relied on

but it is a stagger nonetheless

[lime idol]

The “stagger while in attack animation” is not a full stagger imo

[smoky ember]

it is

it procs opportunist

therefor, stagger

[lime idol]

It does, ik

But it’s like, not really relevant

[smoky ember]

a chain weapon needs to stagger so you don’t eat an overhead

[lime idol]

You don’t need opportunist for bulwark 1 shot

[smoky ember]

while sawing an enemy

yeah opportunist is bad

ik

[lime idol]

It doesn’t open guard stance is what I mean

[smoky ember]

chainsword shouldn’t be able to do that anyway imo

evis yes

chainsword no

chain axe

idk

doesn’t exist

[lime idol]

Ok I checked

Crit rev heavy (anywhere) can interrupt crusher overhead

Downside is it takes 3 ticks to activate the stagger so if you’re just a bit off timing you’ll eat an overhead

[smoky ember]

woa, meow being right? who could’ve seen that coming…. /j

[lime idol]

Nah

U didn’t include the timing

[smoky ember]

it’s so over…

[lime idol]

Partially right at best

[smoky ember]

killing myself

[smoky ember]

never really noticed the 3 ticks

[lime idol]

Point given for bringing this to my attention

[smoky ember]

but it makes sense

[lime idol]

I would not call this reliable still

Still incredibly bad

[smoky ember]

usually only noticed it from chastise trick chainsword

[lime idol]

[smoky ember]

chastise

makes it reliable

but that’s why chainsword is only really good good on zealot

[lime idol]

Actually

There is one exception

Activated PA on mk4 comes out faster than activated H1

And seems to (?) trigger the stagger a little faster

[smoky ember]

mk4 chainsword

[lime idol]

Still needs crit

[smoky ember]

stinky

[lime idol]

It’s better

[smoky ember]

disagree

[lime idol]

If only

[smoky ember]

mk13g just light spams everything but carapace to death

without really any issue

[lime idol]

Mk4 is somehow still just better which is funny

Both are meh anyway

[smoky ember]

disagree

mk13g is OP

on zealot

[lime idol]

That’s about the extent of it

[sour pulsar]

what exactly does the special attack on the heavy sword MK VI do

its supposed to be a "combo starter" but i dont see how thats useful, it provides no stagger

[lime idol]

Breaks rager combo and mauler overhead
Chains into heavy1 faster than heavy2 does

[sour pulsar]

does it break crusher overhead

[lime idol]

No

[sour pulsar]

ah okay thanks

i mean it kinda sucks tho doesnt it for killing armor? what blessings / perks should be used

[lime idol]

It’s not made for killing carapace

It’s best at dealing with human elites

[sour pulsar]

then why is a literal knife and a pokey pokey so good at busting huge carapace ogryns

[lime idol]

Knives were used against armored knights (attacking their joints) in medieval combat

As for duelling sword, lol

[sour pulsar]

i hope they nerf the dueling sword soon

[mellow zinc]

Hi folks.

Having fun with the eviscerator, what's a good gun to pair it with?

[worthy ore]

i'd always say go with heavy laspistol mk2 with flak and maniac damage, with fire dmg and dumdum

[mellow zinc]

I'll give it a try later, thanks.

[fierce sandal]

What would cause a player to be "ineligible" for havoc? I ran one of mine and then afterwards, one player left and than another joined and was stuck with the menu saying one the players in the strike team was ineligible. All lvl 30, obviously

[coral violet]

he might've left/crashed from havoc that already started

until it ends he is not eligible for havoc

if it was a server crash a simple restart should do the trick

[smoky ember]

deals like 700ish damage to flak, so it’s good against most elites

and brutal momentum lets it cleave on kill

some people, on mk7 hsword, horde clear with h1 special repeat

[smoky ember]

balance

the knife makes sense to an extent, being a finesse weapon requiring you to aim for weak points, but it just does too much damage

same with dueling sword

[smoky ember]

bolter, flamer

are both solid on almost all zealot builds

i run with bolter

just to have a quick anti armor option

which evis mk are you using?

[gusty whale]

i imagine The Correct One™️ (please fatshark just buff the old eviscerator why does it have a more varied moveset while having worse damage)

[molten bough]

how do i uh

fix this shit

(mods)

Oh nvm fixed it

[tawny jungle]

are we able to change npc classes? if not base game, with mods?

[smoky ember]

no

unfortunately

[little compass]

is unmaxed finesse and mobility really bad on a duelling sword?

and are there any missions with guaranteed scabs/dregs (not maelstroms)?

[signal gate]

no

it's semi random, the game tries to put at least one segment of each faction

[slow edge]

For Time to Die (3) aka kill a monstrosity in 5 seconds when does the timer start and is there a specific difficulty you have to be on? Cause I stg I've killed a couple Demonhosts in under 5 seconds with a martyr THammer build and I haven't gotten it.

[sinful summit]

timer starts when they first take damage

heres an example

yes weakened monstrosities in maelstroms count

[slow edge]

Aight guess I'm just slightly too slow on the kill

[vocal nacelle]

could be a bug, have you try relogging ?

[random stag]

yeah a few times, gonna start verifying game files and head to bed

[nimble prawn]

I'm sick of people that think this game is dynasty warriors

[errant pawn]

May I know if the rating of curio & weapons mean anything?

[gusty whale]

just an indicator of the base stats

[errant pawn]

For example, will weapon rating exceed 500? Friend told me it requires luck to get it

[gusty whale]

500 is the limit

your friend may be behind the curve

all weapons except starting weapons can be upgraded to 500 with enough mastery

[errant pawn]

I see, cool, thank you

[vague jolt]

what is the highest level of curio

like my curio is level 310

rating thats the word

[gusty whale]

430

[quartz flint]

So 'unyielding' enemies are... bosses and ogryns?

[coral violet]

yeah

[quartz flint]

Are there any others?
I'm sort of struggling because it appears that some of these tags apply across some enemies but not others?

For example, I'm not sure what 'infested enemies' are

[void forge]

[split bluff]

Hi,

Does anyone have any tips for getting the 'Frenzied Killer II' (90 enemies in 30 seconds) penance? I'm playing Psyker but just wanted to know if anyone had a good map strategy i.e. a specific mission to do?

Thanks!

[fast urchin]

uh

there is a way to do it with the flamethrower on a chokepoint

thats quite easy

there should be a way to do it online with the exact details, idr totally

it does involve gathering enemies at a chokepoint for a bit, and then unleashing flamethrower

[split bluff]

ah okay, no worries! Just will bang my head against a wall on High Intensity missions until I can get it!

Thanks Drifty

[fast urchin]

I think its also easiest with zealot

dont remember beyond that

[void forge]

Higher diffs have higher enemy density, so that might make it easier as well

[split bluff]

Sounds good. Thanks for the advice guys!

How do I join nurgle

[snow osprey]

probably not a gameplay problem but how does one saint a weapon?

I see lots of players with 500 rated weapons all transcendent with maxed out stats and shit but the weapons are still orange, but the sainted weapons are the same but red

just has me confused

[little coyote]

there are no red weapons in the game. You've probably seen a mod that people use to indicate max stat weapons

[snow osprey]

ah ok

is it that widely used?

[little coyote]

don't think so really

[snow osprey]

[shadow saffron]

Trying to run "Just a flesh wound" penance on zealot, need help with a private game, just need one person I think

[sacred oyster]

I see a lot of talk on older stuff about "dump stats" for weapons. I just got the game over the weekend and made it to damnation (been playing a lot)

I don't know what dump stats mean?

[vocal nacelle]

dump stat is the "useless" stat on your weapon card, its doesnt affect your breakpoint /playstyle when the stat is the lowest

[sacred oyster]

Oh so it's not something you manipulate yourself through the aedeptus mechanicus shop? It's just a reference to a state you don't care about?

[vocal nacelle]

if you wanna min max your stuff , its pretty easy to do now just need dockets

[sacred oyster]

I guess I'm just new to this and I don't think I've seen an option at the blessing robot to dump a stat

[vocal nacelle]

example is like this

defense is the dump stat

[sacred oyster]

Okay. So when I'm going to try to dump a stat, I need to check the weaponsmith for one with the stat I dont want and then upgrade it normally?

[vocal nacelle]

yep
buy at brunt
check if the dump stats are correct
upgrade the weapon stats normally at hadron

what weapon you want can give tips which one is the dump stat

[sacred oyster]

Makes sense. Thank you for explaining it. What do people usually dump? Or is it weapon dependant?

[vocal nacelle]

weapon dependant

[sacred oyster]

I'm playing Zealot right now. So far I've tried dueling sword, combat axe, relic blade, and heavy evis

[vocal nacelle]

most weapon have mobility/defense as dump stat

exception for psyker melee weapon

[sacred oyster]

I think i might stick with relic blade and combat axe

What do psykers usually dump?

[smoky ember]

warp resistance

also applies the inferno staff

maybe a couple other staves but i’m not sure

it’s mainly because having high warp res can actually be a detriment to some builds

as you want high peril for certain talents or blessings

(warp nexus, unstable power, warp rider, one with the warp)

[sacred oyster]

I gotcha. Well thank you for the explanation! Appreciate it

how the hell do you fight a daemon host

[vocal nacelle]

important question, are you the one that got attacked?

[zealous dome]

1- Kill it on a single hit
2- Gunlugger
3- Play Ring around the Rosie so you can hit it while it's trying to path towards you
4- Dclaw parry build

5- Throw it off a ledge

6- Don't fight it

Dodge slides

[sour pulsar]

i was shooting a gunner close to the host, didnt expect it to wakeup if i didnt hit it

[gusty whale]

flashlights and shooting close to it will do it too

or sprinting near it

[sour pulsar]

if only darktide explained these things...

does weapon mastery carry over across classes? so if im leveling bolter on zealot will it carry to vet

[gusty whale]

yes

for the auric examplar title, do you have to play 10 missions in a row? so that means if i play one auric mission then play one non auric mission, the auric mission i completed doesnt count towards the title?

[gusty whale]

you can play others too

auric, nonaurics, whatever, as long as 10 aurics in a row have no death on your part

if you die in nonaurics it ok too since it does not check for that

they have a few lines where their voice gets squeaky

[formal chasm]

Depends on which personality is at the wheel?

How does Thrust really work?
It says up 20% Strength depending on charge time, stacks 3 times
The first part reads like you need to fully charge to get the 20%, it also gets 3 stacks when the heavy is fully charged
So 3 stacks = 20%, 3 stacks = 60%, something else?

[little coyote]

3 stacks = 60%

no wait

[gusty whale]

yes

3 stacks of 20% each

very intuitive

thank you fatshark tooltips

[little coyote]

yeah, went to look up the proper wording of the blessing. You get loads

[formal chasm]

Yup, Description doesn't say that at all

[gusty whale]

if it was 20% at 3 stacks it would SUCK

[formal chasm]

Exactly

[sinful summit]

Something you can compare it to is how unstable power is up to 20% power based on power

But doesn't say anything about stacks

In practice it has up to 5 stacks with 20% at its maximum

It's just fatshark wording, there is a pattern to it most of the time but it's not very intuitive

[marsh elbow]

Can anyone help me with gone bowling going nuts with that trying with randoms

Havoc mode is killing my will to play Darktide.

Why does it have to be good cosmetics locked behind it's penances?

[gusty whale]

good news! no need to go beyond 25 if you just want the cosmetics

[verbal blade]

No. But getting to 25 is the issue. Almost at 20 and everything is so incredible unfun thanks to the modifiers making ranged enemies unkillable and incredibly lethal.

[carmine umbra]

anyone want to help me get auric storm survivor?

[mellow zinc]

What are the differences between the two heavy laspistols?

Stat-wise, Mk X is a straight up upgrade. Something I'm missing?

[zealous dome]

Similar Ammo Economy, Firing uptime and elite killing prowess
But the MK2 has better DPS and Specialist killing prowess

Or something along those lines

[vivid current]

Can't go on right now, but a quick tip in case it helps: Don't have anything that adds more wounds. The penance needs you to be on your last one, so with just 2 wounds total you can play with half of your HP missing. Rather than having like 5 wounds where you have to play with less than 20% of your HP.

[lime idol]

Mk2 has faster firerate, faster sprint to fire

Mk10 deals more damage per shot but doesn’t actually do enough to hit most 1-tap breakpoints without crit, and has slower firerate

[signal gate]

mk2 is actually the better one

sure mk10 does more damage but if it doesn't help breakpoints meaningfully, then it's worse at stacking up laspistol's best blessings as well

[sinful summit]

You end up killing things much faster with the mk2 because of the firerate
Killing a gunner on 3-4 shots in half a second vs killing one in 2 shots in a full second for example

But the other end of the stick that we always have to point out now is that the massive hp bumps in high havoc make the mk10 start to win out

[signal gate]

i thought mk2 applying infernus quicker and easier would be better for havoc

for pox hardened

[lime idol]

mk10 does have a faster numerical TTK if you’re only hitting headshots (and potential crit headshot 1 taps)

But it loses in every other regard lol

[sinful summit]

Some people who use laspistols more than me in havoc have used crit builds with them there and manage to one shot elites with constant crits

[turbid dock]

Do we have a tool for havoc breakpoints?

[lime idol]

Yea, elementary mathematics

Elite and specialist enemies get x1.5 health

Groaners, poxwalkers and infected groaners get x3.2 mass and x1.35 health

[turbid dock]

Modern tools

Also 3.2x mass? Guh

[sinful summit]

thats why cleave blessing stocks went up massively

wrath especially

sweep is borderline useless because you rarely can even hit 3 enemies to begin with

[quaint widget]

does the bolt pistol stop being crazy good at any point? seems to be one of the most efficient specialist deleters in the regular game modes

[quartz flint]

Basically when you get more specials on the screen than you can shoot. Main thing that gets you is the reload, followed by how ammo packs only give you something like 8 shots and canisters half that

[mellow zinc]

Hello again folks.

Fastest way to do masteries? I want to get a good feel of most weapons before trying damnation.

[unreal falcon]

buy greys from brunt, upgrade once to green, sacrifice. saccing the same weapon type as you're putting the xp towards mastering gives way more progress of that type.

this can double as hunting for a good stat roll if you don't have one you like yet.

just favorite the good ones so you don't accidentally sac them.

[mellow zinc]

That was my next question, how do I lock weapons so I accidently don't waste them?

[unreal falcon]

click in inventory to select, press F

[mellow zinc]

Thanks mate, appreciated.

[unreal falcon]

emprah protects (ur dockets)

[fierce anvil]

how do havoc levels work? can your clearance only go up from your missions or can you do other higher level missions from other people to get it up?

[polar dock]

You can get higher clearance from joining lobbies and finishing. at the end of the week it will take your highest clearance level completed and if lets say that week your havoc is 1 and you do a 20. Next week it will jump your own assignment to 20 and so on

[quartz flint]

There's also no limit on who you can join, you can go from rank 1 to 30 if you like

There's also no real penalty joining lower rank lobbies aside from you're not progressing

[fierce anvil]

thanks for the info

[mellow zinc]

First attack from idle of a dueling sword mk4 has a little step in it.

Does it count as a dodge or it's just for moving in?

[signal gate]

Gassed up 21st havoc hordes eating all your cleave

[signal gate]

No

[mellow zinc]

Is quickplay the fastest way to get resources?

[vivid current]

From what I've seen, yeah. The bonus makes it the most efficient.

If it's dockets as the "resource" you want, then I've read that it's maelstroms?

[mellow zinc]

Nah, I'm drowning in money. It's the other two that are lacking.

Quickplay it is then.

[quartz flint]

Yup, hardest difficulty you can manage and do it on quick play

Get idols and collectibles for extra plasteel. If you get all 4 idols that's 200 plasteel

If you can, do special condition missions, you get a bunch of extra resources for those

[raw smelt]

weapon XP is the same per weapon or i can funnel XP to one weapon if the other has maxed mastery?

[quartz flint]

It's per weapon. But weapons shared by classes (eg, devil claw sword for vet and zealot) are not counted separately

[smoky ember]

you can sacrifice weapons of different families, but you cannot share XP to different families

and sacrificing weapons of the same family give significantly more XP

[quartz flint]

If you have tons of money, you can buy weapons, upgrade them to green or higher and sacrifice them

[smoky ember]

green is most resource efficient

[raw smelt]

I have no mats atm since there are none in Havoc (other than skulls)

[smoky ember]

a green weapon gives about 10k xp

and a max upgraded is like 20k

so it’s much more resource to upgrade to max

then sacrifice

[quartz flint]

I guess so. I just play runs to level them up

[smoky ember]

than just upgrading once

i just brute forced all of my weapons

because i had so much resource built up from pre UnL

so i didn’t have to engage with that system at all

lmfao

[quartz flint]

I wish Hadron would brute force me

[smoky ember]

[candid sparrow]

How many FPS ought one get in auric with no rtx, DLSS enabled: RTX 3070, r5-5600x, 16 gb RAM?
cause I cant break 45 in hordes without frame gen
it sucks

[quaint widget]

4k with ray tracing on? game seems to take a bit of RAM when things get heavy that might be your bottleneck, use NVIDIA tools to see if you can work out what's maxing out

[candid sparrow]

1440p, no RT

[little compass]

is 76 (with 77 in damage) across the board for stats good on the revolver or should I keep digging for a mobility dump stat?

[smoky ember]

mobility or reload speed dump are both good

but for now, thats fine

just try to get one later

[cedar dagger]

The difference between 80 and 76 is fairly negligible.

[brittle marsh]

For the Orthus Offensive penance of winning without triggering more than 3 mines is that

• Personal or group wide?
• For the whole level or only during the last section?

whole level, you can use the shortcut to skip

[brittle marsh]

real quick, guys, does a lvl 410 +3 stamina curio give 3 staminas?

[formal chasm]

Has anyone seen any Excise Vault missions lately?
I still need that skull

[inner minnow]

Where and how can I find people to complete martyr achievements?

where you have to carry the skull to extraction point

[quartz flint]

Is this the one where you carry 3 canisters to the center platform in the hourglass?

[formal chasm]

Yes

[quartz flint]

In my experience, most people playing on heresy or lower tend to get them as part of the mission

[quartz flint]

I've been thinking about this for a week now. I'm 90% sure Fatshark has removed the map entirely. I can't find it anywhere

[formal chasm]

I just started playing at lower difficulties and told people I was going for the skull and might need some help with it
Most of the time they were patient, or had to be (Clandestium Gloriana I'm looking at you, though actually another player solved the jump puzzle when I kept falling)
Vigil Station and Excise Vault are my last two, Vigil Station is a pain for me

[quartz flint]

Vigil is a multi stage process also

[formal chasm]

Vigil is the jump with certain death

[quartz flint]

Some of them can be grabbed in under 30 seconds

[inner minnow]

But I still can't find anyone to do so

randoms just don't understand, and in this discord I'm trying to lfp anyone for like 3 days now

[formal chasm]

I don't understand, you grab the skull and it's done, there's never been an item to pick up or carry

[quartz flint]

I mean it's 'carried' in the sense you need to finished the level after grabbing it, but that's all

Maybe a translation thing

[quartz flint]

Yeah sorry that sucks. I suggest just playing in malice, letting people know what you're doing and just going for it. I think only 2 skulls actually require teamwork

[inner minnow]

I stopped doing it after a few votekicks

[formal chasm]

I even went lower than malice just to make sure no poxwalkers bothered me while I figured out the puzzles

[quartz flint]

What servers do you play on?

[inner minnow]

Europe

[signal gate]

No? It’s pretty openly disabled at the top of some of the patch notes. A few maps got disabled because they wouldn’t end the mission for players, they got re enabled, but excise vault got re disabled because it still bugged

[quartz flint]

Yeah no idea about this. I must've missed it.
When was it disabled?

[signal gate]

When havoc/grim protocols dropped

Then another hotfix had more information after that

[quartz flint]

Ah thanks, as I said- I must've missed it in the notes

At least I'm not going insane, I guess

[formal chasm]

That explains it, gonna have to wait for my Nomad title than

[formal chasm]

Play at the lowest difficulties, start with bots and whenever people join, tell them that you're there to get the skulls
Low levels are often happy enough for you to carry them along the way

[acoustic scarab]

I wish I had a clip for proof but, why does the game just randomly move downed teammates before they can get picked up?
Just now in a game me and two others got downed, Ogryn hero gamer solo'd his way towards us and right before he reached us, the downed players were just moved to the next rescue spot, after which the Ogryn got overwhelmed by the horde that appeared

lately I thought I'd seen this before while i was the one left standing but this is the first time i've actually confirmed seeing it happen

[quick remnant]

It can happen, it's a bug

[quartz flint]

I thought it was because the team 'progressed' and it jumped to the next checkpoint

[mellow zinc]

Hi fellas.

Good combinations of perks and bless for bolt pistol? I'm using it on zealot.

Depends what it's for, I like the weakspot and glory blessings

Because I like to make an elite go extinct at range so I stop getting shot

[smoky ember]

puncture

helps meet some very good BPs

[vivid current]

I'm wondering if there's an interaction between puncture and the explosion blessing (Lethal Proximity). Would the explosion spread the bleed to everything that got hit?

unfortunately no

however lethal proximity does apply to shredder frag grenades

I'll feel no shame when i fix this 😂

[coral mural]

did you apply most of the fps tweaks/fixes ?

[mellow zinc]

I was planning on using it as a side piece to melee.

Y'know, taking care of priority targets or softening mid-bosses. That stuff.

[quartz flint]

That's pretty much what I do, kill specials and gunners I can't reach

Depending on difficulty, a single headshot with a bolt pistol will one-shot most specials

Some go down in just a bodyshot

[dry dome]

Greetings fellow rejects, I have just acquired the game and am curious which class would be the most effective at teaching me the game while also being easy to build for mid-late game if that makes sense

[void forge]

vet

[dry dome]

Is it because of his stagger ability later? I’ve seen it in clips of maelstrom runs

[hard roost]

Veteran is the most straightforward. The others all have caveats to them, but none are so hard that they would stop you from learning the game. Just pick whatever sounds like the most fun to you

All classes are fine for endgame

[void forge]

his shout ability is certainly very strong, but I was mostly referring to how easy vet is to understand for new players coming from different games.

[dry dome]

I see, well it is true I haven’t played many warhammer games, only SM2, vermintide and boltgun. But I’m also not new to horde shooters either

Am excited to jump in the fray

[hard roost]

This game is mechanically very similar to vermintide, not like other warhammer games

[dry dome]

That’s great, I do very much like vermintide but it sucks there is like 1 server open at any time

The passage of time sucks 😦

[hard roost]

You might like zealot if you're familiar with vt

[dry dome]

What’s zealot like?

[quartz flint]

Your job is to get stuck in as much as possible with strong, high damage weapons and abilities

You have decent durability and a bunch of effects that trigger when you take damage

The closer you are to death, generally the stronger you are

There's a lot more to it but that's the brief

[dry dome]

Y’know I am familiar with playing like that

[quartz flint]

I'd say it's one of the most forgiving classes for first timers

Weapons are good, perks are good, only real weaknesses come out on harder difficulties where you can't cleave as well

[dry dome]

I’ve seen plenty of posts on like Reddit where people say that ogryn is like the best overall but is basically fundamentally different than the rest of the classes, is that true?

[quartz flint]

I think that depends who you ask, some will swear he's the weakest, for some valid reasons. Then you have others who will say he's broken because he can essentially stagger a whole horde singlehandedly

I will say Ogryn is probably the most hobbled class, by a large margin

But he's solid until very very late

[dry dome]

That last thing you said, in those same maelstrom runs I’ve seen, I’ve seen ogryns use an ability where he puts up his hand and runs in a straight line, only when he turns around the horde that was there is obliterated

[quartz flint]

Yeah that's a good ability to break a horde and push

But it can get you into trouble

I'd suggest creating one of each class and just messing about.

Ogryn and zealot are good, strong melee classes. Very forgiving

Veteran has more of a ranged tilt, but is generally flexible

Psyker is generally weak. But has strong utility skills

Play around see what sticks

But I recommend playing everything because you can also understand where each class falls over and better understand your team

[dry dome]

Yea while I’ve been asking these questions I booted up darktide and have just finished making my third character. Vet zealot and ogryn

[quartz flint]

Best if luck. I'd also just experiment, especially at lower difficulties. Buy weapons, modify them. See what works for you

Resources generally aren't a problem later on so spend them without much regret, especially dockets

[dry dome]

Do the backgrounds do anything gameplay wise?

[quartz flint]

How do you mean?

[dry dome]

Like if I say I’m from a mining planet, does that grant me access to certain things that are different than if I said I was from a water planet, etc

[quartz flint]

No, but it does affect banter and voicelines

[signal gate]

(rarely and people aren't sure how the ystem works)

[quartz flint]

You can re-roll your personality later as well, if you want a change

[dry dome]

Ahh ok, I couldn’t find a straight answer before so I got confused

[signal gate]

all i know is that cadian zealots despise abaddon more and my agri world grox herder bodyguard makes references to grox every once in a blue moon

[quartz flint]

You also get cadia references if you pick cadia, or specific lines when encounting certain enemies, etc.

It's flavour

[dry dome]

What a strange system. I really like the idea, just wish it mattered more, the only glaring difference is the voices are completely different in the personality section like the vets voice is completely different between the three

[quartz flint]

Yeah I quite like it

The only problem is that vermintide characters were very fleshed out and had lots of story, but they were static, unique characters

In this, there's no class locking. You can have 4 vets in a single game

So this is designed to be a way of not having generic characters

The only issue is, it's more shallow compared to vt2

Like, I could name all the things Markus or Sienna liked or hated and how the party interacted. But I couldn't tell you much about the Ogryn I've had for over 200 hours on the same personality

[dry dome]

Well I think that does it for all my prelim questions all that’s left is for me to jump in and smack a heretic. But I must say ever since joining the warhammer community I’ve def been enjoying my time in this universe

Everyone is so nice here, I like it

[quartz flint]

Wait until you start talking builds

[dry dome]

Oh dear is it ww3 when I ask builds lmao

[quartz flint]

It's like a lot of communities, there's lots of opinions, hard maths and 'you're doing it wrong'

It's not terrible but still

[gloomy acorn]

U catch the occasional tryhard blasphemer in game but the community is pretty solid imo

[slate snow]

Hello, returning player. What's the progression track for darktide? Do I just grind level 1 difficulty until I hit 30 then start doing "proper" things?

[wide pollen]

I mean generally yeah, but you can mix in some higher difficulty stuff if you're at that skill level to survive

auric difficulty is locked to level 30 though if that's an avenue you want to explore

[slate snow]

What is auric difficulty?

[wide pollen]

double the difficulty modifiers, faster spawns, more enemies

[eternal fog]

anyone ever run into this issue? ive moved all my mods out of the game and i crash as soon as it launches

[wide pollen]

if restarting doesn't fix it, try reverifying

and to answer the question, nope not personally had that issue

[signal gate]

load order cleared, mods toggled off?

[void forge]

^yeah did you actually turn off your mods with the batch file? the game could be trying to load mods that you deleted

[hearty ingot]

is it worth flicking your mouse when you heavy melee to hit a target sooner? Does it do anything?

[gusty whale]

hitboxes are based on where you're looking while swinging so it may help but isn't going to make a big difference either way

[hearty ingot]

ty

[mellow zinc]

Hi.

I kind of remember seeing a penance for avoiding snipers shots but I can't find it anymore.

Nevermind found it.

[dense tulip]

it works a little better with the wide swings at the horde to hit more of the chaffe imo, but it's still not that much of a difference. It's more of a thing for style points

[rigid wasp]

hey does any one have good settings nows a good guide viedo post as the game is running kinda bad for me^^

[fierce sandal]

What's the +4 mean on my party for havoc? First I thought it was the mission rank but that's 9...

[tranquil portal]

I wanna do my level 29 havoc run what gun should I use for Veteran

The only gun I can’t use is the plasma

I hate the thing

[smoky ember]

infantry las is a good pick if you want to be delegated into an anti shooter role

[tranquil portal]

I’m being told that Kantrael is bad

So I didn’t know what to use

I suck with the plasma

[fierce sandal]

Anyone have a bug where you can't play havoc because it says someone is "ineligible"? I notice on the main havoc menu there it lists a strike team that is not the players in my actual strike team...

[smoky ember]

by whom

[smoky ember]

plasma is super easy to use

[tranquil portal]

Friends

[smoky ember]

just never use your right click

you can reload cancel with it to save like 3 seconds

but really plasma is just always left click

[smoky ember]

kantreal las is decent for high level havoc

because the ammo economy is good

and it does enough damage to kill most shooters in 1-2 shots

the only issue is you don’t have an anti armor option

nor a horde clear option

which is when you’d want to take either a knife/ds4 for armor, or a heavysword for horde

depends on the role you want to fulfill

[tranquil portal]

@smoky ember I can’t use the plas cause I suck at long distance shooting with it

And I use the Dueling sword

[fringe crane]

Plasma Gun is easy to use but not being able to take out far in the distance threats like long distance snipers makes you feel like you're not doing your job as veteran

its rare situation but its annoying

[smoky ember]

plasma absolutely can shoot long range

[coral mural]

i find plasma good but not on damnation or havoc and its real fun gun to use

[coral mural]

whats your setup

[tranquil portal]

I wanna try the Helbore

Lucius pattern lasguns are cool af

[rigid wasp]

AMD Radeon rx 6750 xt gpu
AMD ryzen 7 5800x 8core

[coral mural]

dm me

[hoary vessel]

is the havoc menu busted again

[rustic tartan]

is mobility 60% good for a recon lasgun with all 80% ?
I dunno much how weapon stats work and matter

[coral mural]

i feel it good took me like 250k gold to get the perfect stats xd love this gun

[quiet palm]

anyone else have this issue where the party finder UI would keep overlapping and blinking over the rest of the havoc menu?

Also I cant even start a game because I am "not eligible", even thouugh I already picked up Dukane's rewards for this week. I can't even demote (which is supposed to fix the eligibility bug) becasue of the UI blinking that keeps refreshing the menu!

[coral mural]

no havent seen this one

[violet flicker]

yes, i came here to ask about this. this just started today

[quiet palm]

tried restarting the game, doesn't go away

I am pretty much unable to play Havoc at all

[coral mural]

ill try now just to test

[quiet palm]

still not eligible

[rustic tartan]

wow I mean I'm completely out of gold and just found this other one XD

[coral mural]

its flickering

[quiet palm]

so it's happening to you too?

and everyone else?

[coral mural]

but i got the prize 😄

[quiet palm]

I got the prize too, but after claiming rewards it still keeps flickering

[coral mural]

6600 pretty cool

yes it flickers after

[quiet palm]

are you able to demote?

[coral mural]

didnt tried i left gonna sleep in a bit

i play final fantasy 16 vermintide 2 and darktide at the same time 😄

so i dont really gain lots of stuff 😄

[nimble prawn]

What is max bleed stacks?

[fierce sandal]

Are weekly havoc rewards just based on ending rank? Assuming you've played that week, of course, or does it factor how many ranks you progressed through and stuff like that?

[twilit grove]

Is there a cap to the toughness regeneration speed perk?

[vocal nacelle]

no

[vocal nacelle]

16

[twilit grove]

I see

Thank you

[vocal nacelle]

is this toughness regen on curio?

[twilit grove]

Yeah

[vocal nacelle]

unless you are playing ogryn or loner zealot, toughness regen is not that good

[twilit grove]

I am playing Ogryn

[vocal nacelle]

[fierce sandal]

You are an ogryn

[twilit grove]

Also can curios have more than 1 plus wound? Is that the cap for wounds on curios?

[vocal nacelle]

only +1

[twilit grove]

I figured, seemed like it'd be pretty strong

[vocal nacelle]

+1 wound, +3 stamina, 21% health, 17% toughness

[twilit grove]

Especially for zealots

[vocal nacelle]

only for zealot

[twilit grove]

Lol yeah, have that comment saved on reddit

[vocal nacelle]

more wounds is bad except martyrdom zealot

[twilit grove]

Yeah, that build

[median shard]

this is sort of related to gameplay, anyone else having their havoc menu glitch out? like blinking in and out? if theres any quick fixes plz lmk cuz its saying im not eligible for havocs and it wont let me demote myself wither

[rustic kettle]

Yes, it seems to be a widespread problem

Which sucks because I want that Moebian 53rd armor really bad

Unfortunately we're just gonna need to rough it until a fix is found or Chubby Orca hotfixes it

[median shard]

yeah, figured it wasnt just me but i was kinda bummed @rustic kettle

[rustic kettle]

I am a little miffed too

Mr Harros up there was gonna drag me kicking and screaming through his havoc 29 for my set of gently used boots

[median shard]

lmao

[violet narwhal]

Hey all, this is newbish question but what does the actual empower level on curio do? Nothing changes when I empower it.

[vocal nacelle]

if you consecrate you get extra perk slot

[violet narwhal]

I might not be using the right words. For example the numbers 250 compared to say 350. They look the same when I fully consecrate them. Like a +1 wounds curio never gets better aside from perks and blessings.

[signal gate]

Yes

The “number” don’t matter

Only what is on the curio does

The max is 1 wound, 3 stam, 17 toughness and 21% hp

[violet narwhal]

How do the numbers impact the numbers on other weapons? I see the left number matching the right number in stats as I empower them but I see the right number differ. Does that mean each number can be simply better or is it a distribution amongst all the stats? E.g it’s impossible for all stats to be better but possible for some stats to be better at the cost of other stats.

[vivid current]

If you look at the max 'potential' of the 5 stats, you'll notice that none of them can go above 80, and none below 60.

Not all of them can be 80 as well. If you count the totals up it'll be 380 instead of 400.

The max potential limits are randomly distributed, so you could have all 5 be 76, or four of them be 80 and one down at 60. And any other combination.

The key answer to your question is that when a weapon is at max power (500), all 5 stats will be at their max. Anything less and the 5 stats will be less than maxed out in some places.

When you look at a stat's current level it can never go down when you empower the weapon, but from my anecdotal experience, the stats don't increase linearly or all at the same rates. But they'll all reach the max by item level 500.

[violet narwhal]

Thank you for the explanation! I really appreciate it as I am learning. In some guides they mention dump stats or stats to favor. What could be the highest individual stat? For example, I’ve noticed autoguns where the highest individual stat is 80 and I have never seen it higher than that.

[vivid current]

Yup, 80 is the limit. A weapon can have 4 of the five stats be 80 and one at 60 if you want to min-max.

The dump stat is the one you look for being 60, because that implies the other 4 are at 80.

Some weapons guides will say mobility can be a dump stat, for example. The other 4 stats will be for max weapon performance.

It'll depend on the individual weapon and your play style, of course

[violet narwhal]

Thanks again for explaining everything!

[ashen lintel]

Hay im new in the game just bought it anyone interested to play with me and explain things?

[golden shale]

Hey folks, do you know any reason as to why when I go to open the havoc terminal, it keeps flickering/flashing? I press the party finder and now the havoc terminal and the party finder shows up, then my game crashes

[graceful raptor]

a bug, havoc is broken for the time being

[golden shale]

damn

aight, thanks

[steep silo]

Is anyone else getting "mission aborted" errors at the end screen of maelstroms?

[edgy plover]

yup, I just got it

[frozen tusk]

Every auric maelstrom I've played today has had the Mission Aborted at the end

[shadow thicket]

Same here I've gotten that twice at the end of missions today

[quartz flint]

I've also just had CTDs mid mission

[quartz flint]

The game still counts for penance and such though

[steep silo]

It all just works

[twilit grove]

What does "defences" actually do on the Crusher weapon?

[vast fog]

is there a meta button to rebind dodge to? what do you personally rebind dodge to?

[steep silo]

Press V and in the weapon info hover over the stats and it tells you what it does

[twilit grove]

Im on playstation

Oh nevermind, i see the inspect function now lol

[quartz flint]

I've always been fine with spacebar

[mild radish]

if your having issues with jumping while trying to dodge remap jump to [LALT] since you need to jump or vault less than you need to dodge.

[smoky ember]

i keep dodge on space, and jump on alt

[simple hamlet]

i seriously just played 2 maelstrom missions - one standard and one auric and got "aborted" at the end back to back

what even is this game anymore

[mild radish]

error 2001 or 2014?

i get those constantly ive done everything fatshark has reccommended on their website

does absolutely nothing to help

[graceful raptor]

i also get them, but missions seem to be completed

[simple hamlet]

yes my penances are done but none of the resources count

[simple hamlet]

it doesnt show

[rigid wasp]

[rigid wasp]

[vocal nacelle]

[wet seal]

Anyone looking to run diff 3 missions?

[lucid walrus]

Been trying to clear the "Flawless Execution" Penance, the penance that requires you to clear 15 missions on Malic difficulty or above without ever going down, but for some reason the counter won't go past 5 no matter how many missions I keep playing on Malice. Is this penance bugged by any chance? Or is it only recording my last known record?

[pulsar acorn]

lmao

[dreamy tusk]

fix havoc before new year?

[rigid wasp]

hey quick question
how does the dificutly go in darktide

like in wich order shoud y do stuff?

[dreamy tusk]

you start with auric damnation

no jokes aside you can play up to any difficulty really at lvl 1 just find what ur comfortable at

and stick to that while leveling
