[junior wedge]

what the hell is maniac! 😭

why can't game just give a codex for enemy type

[velvet quiver]

Dreg Rager
Elite
The Dreg Rager immediately rushes towards you and will immediately start to spam his attacks until you stagger or kill him.

Dreg Tox Flamer
Specialist
The Dreg Tox Flamer often attacks from behind, splattering the ground with flames and knocking off your Toughness.

Mutant
Specialist
The Mutant Charger charges at one player and grabs you. After knocking you up and down for a few times he throws you away and charges once more!

Scab Flamer
Specialist
The Scab Flamer likes to attack from behind. Spraying flames over the whole floor. If you get hit by the flames it knocks your Toughness off.

Scab Trapper
Specialist
The Scab Trapper often spawns behind you, trying to get you trapped in her net. Dodge it!

those are classified as Maniac

[clear plume]

I have a picture and armor table for every enemy in my guide

[dense tulip]

you can see the armor type of every enemy in the meatgrinder when you attack them, but it's hardly a substitute for a codex

[zealous dome]

.

https://tenor.com/view/steam-happy-literally-me-woopa-hippy-gif-15080613585758560403

[junior wedge]

oh I see(so they have multiple types)

[clear plume]

it also comes down to where you hit an enemy

for their armor class

hit a mauler in their head, its carapace. The rest of their body is flak

[smoky ember]

in the psykanium, if you hit an enemy, the healthbar will tell you what armor type you just hit

[junior wedge]

should I be remeber what kind of armour different characters on different body part have?

[lime idol]

various attacks in DT are unblockable
crusher overhead
mauler overhead
plague ogryn overhead
beast of nurgle slam & tail whip
etc

[lime idol]

not all, usually u just need to know what armor type their weakspots are

[heady pulsar]

It's actually pretty intuitive based on what the enemy looks like. Like how a scab gunner is armored, but has unarmored legs. And that's their armor types.

[junior wedge]

how do I tell between flak and cap armour?(and what is their difference? cap is just better?)

[smoky ember]

you can go into the psykanium and melee an enemy, and above their healthbar it’ll tell you what armor you hit

but carapace armor has significantly more damage reduction than any other armor type

[junior wedge]

I notice cap seem to block more damage than flak

[river lotus]

Can someone tell me what type of enemy the "summoners" are that summon the Daemonhost in Havoc?

[junior wedge]

is there some kind of rock-paper-stone between armour type?
like some attack is good at amoured but weak at flesh, some attack good at flak but bad at cap

[smoky ember]

it’s weapon dependent

some weapons have solid ADMs (armor damage modifiers) across the board

while others thrive against flesh but not armor

while the only weapon that i can think of that’s good into flak but worse against everything else is eviscerator

[smoky ember]

also, you can see the armor damage you deal with a weapon by inspecting it, and going to attack breakdown

the damage values listed won’t include blessings, perks, talents, etc, but they give you a good idea

[junior wedge]

I do not know there is a inspect value!

omgthx

[lime idol]

Dreg ritualists
They don’t have tags (not horde, specialist, elite or boss)
They have 2500 health in damnation scaling and are unarmored

[clear plume]

dreg cultists are full unarmoured

[river lotus]

Thanks, I'm trying to figure out whats best to pop them but without knowing what they are/having one in hte meat grinder its hard

[river lotus]

thx

[lime idol]

They’re very tanky, so you want high burst damage to kill them

Stuff like Ogryn’s pickaxe, veteran’s power sword, etc

[river lotus]

yeah im generally a slab/gauntlet so it seems like gg to the head is the best option

[lime idol]

Not enough damage I think

[river lotus]

no definitely not, takes 2-3 it seems but I gotta contribute where I can

the heavy with the slab takes 5+ hits it feels like, same for the gauntlet heavy (which tracks)

[still iron]

is the event on any mission?

[keen flume]

Any mission has long it has a diamond icon as side mission and the upper yellow event icon

[smoky ember]

mmm ai generated slop…

[fallow drift]

please don't advertise in here

[thorn sun]

Does anyone know if you derank after passing level 39 in havoc to 40 if you fail games ? Or are you stuck in 40 until you demote?

[dense tulip]

Stuck until you demote

[vast plank]

anyone online able to help with penance?

[clear plume]

which ones?

[tepid mirage]

if my buddy gets a pc would he somehow be able to bring his data over to a new pc file?

[clear plume]

steam to steam, or console to steam?

[tepid mirage]

console to steam

from PS to PC

[clear plume]

I am unsure, but this is a common question. Someone would know. Apolocheese

[kindred inlet]

https://support.fatshark.se/hc/en-us/articles/23251524138525-Can-Fatshark-Transfer-My-Progress-in-Darktide-to-Another-Account

tl;dr yes but it's limited as hell. gotta make a ticket

[tepid mirage]

Unlucky man

thank you for the help, preciate it

[slow bough]

Whats the opinion on the balance of scav gunners

[vocal nacelle]

On what mode?

[slow bough]

Like Auric+

Kinda feels sometimes like you round a corner and instantly get vaporized by 6 scab gunners who're for some reason already revved up and firing immediately

I know that Havoc is like normal grunt-shooter hell on higher levels

Where you get instagibbed by firing squads of moebian infantry

But even on Aurics and even just Damnation its like

GD scab gunner kinda over the top sometimes

[stoic locust]

Do you run gunners DR

[slow bough]

nope

I used to but it didn't feel like it helped

[stoic locust]

Run it

[slow bough]

cause the suppression would just make me crawl

[stoic locust]

50% damage from gunners is amazing

[slow bough]

is that the damage reduction cap?

[stoic locust]

No

[slow bough]

20% per relic

isn't it?

[stoic locust]

Just how it maths out

[slow bough]

ah

[stoic locust]

Dr stacks multiplicatively

[slow bough]

I c I c

[stoic locust]

So instead of 20% X 3 its .8x.8x.8

For 49.something percent

[slow bough]

i getcha

I am kinda addicted to stuff like CDR tho

[stoic locust]

Curio cdr sucks

3.6 seconds

[slow bough]

But thats like the difference between life and death for some skills

[stoic locust]

It’s better than 3/4 of the options but worse than the other 1/4th

[slow bough]

wanni my 100% uptime

[stoic locust]

Every class has a cdr talent where like 1-3 procs completely replaces 3 entire curio slots worth of cdr

[slow bough]

😔

[stoic locust]

You’re using 1/3 of your curio slots for 12% cdr, instead of 15% toughness or 36% stamina regen or 15% hp or 49% gunners resistance

[slow bough]

Yah cause I wanna go FAST

Lol

But I get your point

[vocal nacelle]

Or just sprint slide

What class anyway?

[stoic locust]

Sprint slide only works so far

[vocal nacelle]

Usually each class have a way to deal with gunners

[stoic locust]

Yeah also that

Zealot has FotF and SF
Psyker has dome and EE
Vet has smokes and Infil (and just shooting them)
Ogryn has shield, charge, and bucket loads of DR

[raw smelt]

You ment +10% Ordo Dockets, +10% Experience, 20% Chance of Curio as mission reward ?

Like some of my Havoc teammates until I got the inspection mods

[languid sail]

in regards to the event, does killing the radio operators actually do something?

[red ginkgo]

No. I think the radio gunners only affect spawns. For the event, you just need to do the radio objectives.

[languid sail]

ic ic

thanks, boss

[shell obsidian]

no it doesnt lol cooldown is good

Ability cooldown is good...

[vocal nacelle]

Depends on which ability

[keen flume]

Voice of command cooldown right tone

[stoic locust]

It’s good but here it’s not enough to justify taking it over other stats

[lime idol]

3/2/2/2 curio perk split is pretty legit

[shell obsidian]

yea

[shell obsidian]

like what? health?

i just take toughness, cooldown, and stamina regen or whatever else i want

toughness cooldown and corruption resistance

[tepid mirage]

I probably should know this about 270 hours into the game or so, but are backstabs guaranteed crits? I can't tell if they aren't and I'm crazy, or if they are and the hitbox is atrocious to try and hit

[shell obsidian]

no they aren't

they're increased damage though

[tepid mirage]

how large is the backstab hitbox? is it literally just the entire backside of the target

[shell obsidian]

also zealot shroudfane has a guaranteed crit and 100% damage increase on top of the regular backstab increase

yea

i think so, they just have to be turned away

[tepid mirage]

alright so I am crazy thank you for confirming

[shell obsidian]

its easier to hit with the zealot invis, it'll appear as a weakpoint hit

[zealous dome]

120° iirc

Flanking (Raking Fire blessing) is 180° iirc

[clear plume]

Are you talking about zealot? They are the only class that gets increased damage from behind from a talent

Baseline backstabs don't do anything

[shell obsidian]

yeah

[stoic locust]

The more unique stats like gunners DR and Stam regen

Wow I can’t trust my connection for shit

[woeful bison]

Is there a way to check your progress on the Communication Breakdown event?

[versed cradle]

Hi I have a really quesiton, how to win in havoc ? i'am in 10 losing strike on havoc difficulty 20 and all my games look like this gamebord ? :

[clear plume]

it is a difficult gamemode that you do need a more compete teammates compared to auric

[clear plume]

hold tab and then cycle with E

[versed cradle]

Do you think that its ipossible to play in 1v4 ?

[clear plume]

are you asking if its possible to solo havoc?

[versed cradle]

yes even if all your mates are dead ?

[clear plume]

yes it is

but its going to be very difficult

[versed cradle]

beacause if nurgle eat me 5 times in row i die

its very diffuclt, but why theyre is so many peaople playing this gamemode and die in the fex mintues after the start of the missions ? its look like impossible to play without real teamate with a kind of "good level" no ? what is your opinion on in gamemode ?

[clear plume]

It is a gamemode that is made to be difficult and nearly impossible to beat solo. It almost entirely up to the skill of yourself and your team to beat it.

I really enjoy new havoc

Since I find auric missions too boring

havoc is what is fun

[woeful bison]

Thank you!

[shell obsidian]

it would be more fun if it was more accessible and easier to actually start a match lol

[clear plume]

I have no problem starting a mission

what is happening on your end?

[slow bough]

Beast of nurgle inside an enclosed space is pure bullshit

Worst boss

Spreading corruption everywhere nowhere safe to stand

[smoky ember]

probably just means no quick play

[livid trench]

ok... wtf am I doing wrong in Havoc party finder... I did the pre-req mission. In party finder Havoc is selected in the game mode, but all difficulties are locked.

[kindred inlet]

clear filters? not sure exactly what this is. havoc doesn't have difficulties.

[livid trench]

that's the party finder in Havoc from the first screenshot

all I can really do is list my own party?

[kindred inlet]

you can join people too

[livid trench]

right, but there's nothing listed to join.

[kindred inlet]

either you gotta clear your filters

or no one is playing rn in your region

[livid trench]

I guess US east coast is dead

[kindred inlet]

nope

just opened it to check

try selecting a filter and then clearing all filters

[livid trench]

I did my own group and got the first one out of the way

[chrome rivet]

i crave diamantine

[livid trench]

This stuff?

[slow bough]

I lurv infinite loading simulator

Ogryns so slow trying to kill everything of infinite hordes instead of pushing through 😴

Good fucking god sit in load screen for a minute just to get a mission failed screen then another minute of "communicating wiff fatshark backend :3"

Game desperately needs a "do not join missions in progress" at least past a certain point

Cause its gonna be a wipe or a shitshow or dropped into the position of one of the brainless bots

Somehow managed to get itself stuck in the middle of a horde of crushers or something

[vocal nacelle]

what weapon are you using

[fickle ether]

Well there's no difficulty for havoc. Game mode - Havoc - My Havoc Assignment. Would be the best way to post it

Oh that's old af mb

[chrome rivet]

would asking for a carry thru 40 havoc be unreasonable?

[slow bough]

Probably, if half the things I hear about havoc 40 are true

unless you find 3 people who can see the matrix and have no problem 3 manning it

Also quick question about penances: Are there more penances than there are points needed to max out the penance reward bar thing?

[clear plume]

I have all the penances done. and It goes over 6000 points

so you dont need to have them all to get all rewards

[vocal nacelle]

depends on the modifier and director mood tbh

[clear plume]

depends on who you ask aswell

[vocal nacelle]

moebian and final tool is the easiest

*toll

[clear plume]

ham, keje, and I bring the lowest levels into havoc 40 for fun

[vocal nacelle]

and bribe director to spam rager instead of gunners

[ornate stag]

how many do each class's penances give abouts?

[mellow zinc]

Hello. What does the Tainted Airwaves condition do?

[shadow skiff]

Adds a device that you can find to hack, spawning a mini teeny boss of sorts who will keep summoning hordes of bs to annoy you.

[slow bough]

Begging fatshark to add a way to dip out of missions that're taking too long to load

And not not load into dead runs

Sit in a loading screen for 5 minutes only to get the fail screen

waste of time

[void lintel]

So do the devs ever read this discord or do they just not care that they lose a ton of players because you can't just jump in with bots and make the game actually playable not just a dead waste of time??? I really wanna play but I can't because I'm weak from being in hospital and I don't wanna burden when in all reality these dumb devs could easily make it so you don't need to have 2 people to play the fucking game.

[dense tulip]

they do read this discord. Smarter bots isn't a priority, unfortunately

[vocal nacelle]

if you are on PC you can use mods

[clear plume]

I am unsure, I think it's around less than 900 each

[normal sable]

you get this when you start right? i feel like i see no one use it but idk if its just cuz its lame

i like it

but i dont ever remember changing my portrait

[shadow skiff]

Pretty sure that's the preorder or early purchase thing.

[woeful bison]

Does anyone have any tips for getting Veteran's Long Bomb penance?

[smoky ember]

i got it on the mission where you get the ammo from the trains

i think its consignment yard ?

at the end, before you get into the valkyrie

a big horde will spawn from the door that you came in from

its far enough away to pretty easily get the grenade to detonate before it hits the ground

[woeful bison]

I'll keep an eye out for that mission showing up on the board, thank you!

[smoky ember]

no it was chasm logistratum

not consignment yard

[kindred inlet]

if ur based as heck you can get the mmt mod and queue into it rn

[woeful bison]

It worked perfectly, even with smoke grenades and unlocked like 5 penances at once lol. Thank you!

[dark kindle]

Guys, what is the last reward for the event?

[zealous dome]

Insignia

[dark kindle]

this one?

[rigid wasp]

I need 6 more

[untold bridge]

how do i get full 80% and 60% dumpstat godrolls like i see on gamelantern or yt builds? Do they actually constantly monitor the sour milkman and armory exchange 24/7? What are even the chances of such stats aligning on a weapon, seems like 1 in mil.

[clear plume]

you know where you buy grey weapons at Brunts?

[untold bridge]

Yea

[clear plume]

spam buy those

until you get those stats

it is weighted to have 1 stat at 60

so its not as rare as you think

I usually get my roll within 1-6 buys

[untold bridge]

How do i know the potential stat percentage for unconsecrated weapon?

[clear plume]

number on the right

is the max

at full empower

[shadow skiff]

Says you, It took me like half a mil for that 60 range stubber that I wanted to run a certain set up on.

[vernal plaza]

Embrace collat dump

[shadow skiff]

Already had one. Wanted another for the other funni build.

[broken gale]

Is collateral important for the bolt pistol?

[late valley]

no

[shell obsidian]

What is cleave?

how to get make every shot count reliably?

[keen oracle]

You can just use the double barrel shotgun. As long as you get a hitmarker it counts.

Remember to take off survivalist too lol

[shell obsidian]

how to get make every shot count reliably?

[zealous dome]

The amount of mass your attack can go through

What is mass you ask

Well every enemy has mass

If your cleave is higher than the enemy mass, your attack will go through him and hit a second target

Or a 3rd
Or a 4th
Or a 5th

Depending on your cleave and enemies mass

[red ginkgo]

Revolver, mag dump into a monstrosity for perfect accuracy, melee the rest of the mission (and do not die cause it refunds half your ammo)

[zealous dome]

By Default, Carapace armor type can't be cleaved through

Save for specific interactions

[shell obsidian]

plasna gun seems to cleave through everything

[leaden fjord]

It does i think on a charged shot

It used to on uncharged shots

[shell obsidian]

I used revolver on the train was really easy got it first try

[dense tulip]

why do people invent these strategies for every shot counts when you can just take a kantrael shotgun and magdump into literally anything, the spread is so big it's hard not to hit anything when you shoot

[sharp fossil]

Im a returning player and i love this weapon. Is Empower the way i can increase stats on my weapon.

What mastery do i need for that and on that weapon will it be 80/80/80/80/60?

[clear plume]

Max mastery for a weapon is 20

[sharp fossil]

Another question why is tier 4 locked? How can i unlock it? Can I change both perks?

[stoic locust]

19

20 is the last 3-5 blessing unlocks

[clear plume]

Blessing levels are locked behind mastery

When you have max mastery you can put on any tier 4 blessing

You can find the mastery tab in your inventory

You gain mastery when playing a mission with that weapon

[sharp fossil]

oh i know that, i saw that tab. I'm talking about Perks

[clear plume]

Or sacrifice weapons at hadron

[clear plume]

It seems perks are locked to mastery as well

[sharp fossil]

The 4th tab is locked for some reason

[sharp fossil]

ooooooo

I see that now thank you!

Am i able to change both of them?
I remember in the past on launch it would lock that perk slot and only allow change for one and not the other

[clear plume]

You can freely change perks and blessings at anytime, but it will cost resources each time

It's not locked to only 2 like before

[sharp fossil]

does the same apply to trinkets? 😮

[clear plume]

Yes

Trinkets dont need mastery

So you can change them right now

[sharp fossil]

wow, thank you for the info. this is really helpful

they really uped the QoL

[clear plume]

Happy to help

[novel blaze]

Does anyone know how to fix the bug where it will freeze then disconnect from the match every time.

[clear plume]

Screen freeze or infinite loading?

[novel blaze]

more like lagging out where time just stops in the game and you can move but your bullets don't actually hit anything, and teamates are stuck running in place

I wan't to play the game but it keeps getting me killed in crucial moments and it's so infuriating

[clear plume]

Sadly you are not the only person I've been seeing and hearing about server lag increasing recently in the past few days

I've lost havoc 40 duos to it

It sucks

Just double check your connection, and make sure it's not your end

All I can say

[novel blaze]

It's weird cuz this was a problem when the game first released but it got fixed and now it's back

[clear plume]

[novel blaze]

fatsharks getting way too fat

[clear plume]

Love the system they've made but the problems that are left over are frustrating

[untold bridge]

What are the dumpstats for following melee weapons:

1. Combat Blade
2. Dueling Sword
3. Sapper Shovel

[stoic locust]

Mobility
Mobility
Mobility

[untold bridge]

Aren't combat knife and duelling sword heavily mobility based?

[stoic locust]

Yeah so you’ll hardly notice a difference between 60 and 80

And besides

It’s not a damage stat

[untold bridge]

understood

[gusty whale]

you also hardly notice a difference between 60 and 80 cleave damage

[true gust]

The main thing that matters in the mobility stat is the effective dodge count. As long as mobility is over 50% you'll have max effective dodges.

There's some weapons like the psyker force sword that say it can get 6 dodges with a high enough mobility stat, but we can't get that because we can't get over 80% in any stat.

(which honestly doesn't make any sense. It should be 4 dodges below 33% and 6 dodges above 66%, but what can ya do)

[true gust]

Oh yeah, some weapons will have both a Defense stat and a Mobility stat. Just check which one of those two controls dodges, and that one is the dump stat.

[rigid wasp]

im new looking for some people to play with i wanna get into darktide : )

[smoky ember]

#vox-lfg-lexicanum

[barren mortar]

yo guys

since some update my game crash randomly

any fix?

[vocal nacelle]

Do you use mods?

[woeful bison]

When do you know if you should try auric missions?

[kindred inlet]

if you can pass normal damnation then just do auric 4 and see what happens

[bold mist]

Anyone else having issues with the Penance counters? I've completed at least 2 Heresy missions after the counter hit 4/5 but the counter hasn't moved.

[zealous dome]

When you can regularly complete missions without taking too much damage/relying on teammates

If you can complete missions without dying and being able to fend for yourself then yeah you're pretty much set

[woeful bison]

Okay, thank you

[rigid wasp]

I’d also suggest you’re ready to take on Auric if you can stick with your team.

It sounds so basic, and it is. But I can’t tell you how many times entire runs (on any difficulty) have been compromised/lost because of one person running off on their own too many times.

Like perfectionist said, you need to be able to fend for yourself. But there’s a big difference between being naturally seperated due to circumstances, and choosing to wander off alone and go exploring

[smoky smelt]

Anyone having problems with a disconnect when the mission ends? Had it couple times in havoc and starting annoy me quite a lot.

[median dune]

Looking to get back into Darktide, problem is I don't understand the gear progression system. When you hit 30, do you just keep hitting vendors hoping to get a good base to build off of?

Or are drops relevant?

[late valley]

You can do that or go to the gear requisition tab (I think that's its name) at Brunts and buy a weapon to get good rolls
From there upgrade the desires ones

[wheat night]

Get 30. Then roll grey bases at brunt's

[keen oracle]

You will find plenty of optimal weapons in Brunts regular store too, always worth a look

But the only thing that matters are the stats

[median dune]

Ok, thank you all. So, mission rewards are pretty much not worth it.

[keen oracle]

No

I think I've got two or three good weapons from those in nearly 400 hours lol

[median dune]

lol. thanks.

[keen flume]

Never bother with them unless you got pink or gold rarity weapons that you can sell them for materials and dockets so you can spend the currency on far better weapons and crafting them

[junior wedge]

you can sell weapons?

[shadow skiff]

The discard is actually scrap.

[heady pulsar]

Yes, in the weapon select screen in your loadout there's an option to "Discard Weapons". That gives you dockets. But don't do that. Instead you should sacrifice weapons you don't need to Hadron for weapon mastery unless you've already maxed out your weapon masteries.

[junior wedge]

damn I thought it was just throwing away

[heady pulsar]

yeah no
upgrade every grey to green
then sacrifice them to hadron for mastery

[static agate]

For my weekly contracts, I have completed 1 mission with no player dying successfully, but have 0/8 complete missions.

anyone know why this may be?

[vocal nacelle]

you prob need to complete it from the start

if you quickjoin in the middle it doesnt count

[heady pulsar]

it's a bit iffy, seems sometimes joining mid-game does count, sometimes it doesn't
doesn't seem consistent in any way, at least I haven't been able to figure out what rules it follows, if any

[spark glacier]

Sorry if this is not the right place to ask, but isn't the Rogue Trader charm awarded upon login?

[heady pulsar]

It's supposed to be, but some people have had to login twice to get it, for some reason.

[late valley]

There's be no notification

[spark glacier]

It's just that it's not popping up in my cosmetics

[red ginkgo]

Do note that the trinket appears sideways, so just go through them individually, it's probably there

It'll be called the Kuronos Charm

[spark glacier]

Will check

[red ginkgo]

Yeah, idk what fatshark smokes either

But hey, free trinket 🥳

[spark glacier]

that sideways chronic

So am I just blind orr...

Oh

D'oh

[red ginkgo]

2nd row, 3rd column

[spark glacier]

I thought sideways like

<-

not sideways like viewing it from the side

[red ginkgo]

Yeah no, horizontally sideways

Should've specified sorry

[spark glacier]

No it's fine lol

Thanks

[heady pulsar]

They're arranged alphabetically so you don't need to go through all of them
You do know your ABCs, right?

[red ginkgo]

Of course! It goes A, B... What comes after B? Is it C, K or S?

[heady pulsar]

It goes O, G, R, Y, N... I dunno the rest, I guess they don't matter

[red ginkgo]

True and real

[spark glacier]

TIL

[shadow skiff]

Just for info, it's sometimes 70%~ mission time spent playing for consideration. Is why some midjoins count.

[marsh elk]

wha'ts the best way to levl up weapons ? Mortis or regular mission?

[vocal nacelle]

dumping plasteel if you are rich

if not just play normal damnation

[marsh elk]

sorry, best way level up mastery of a weapon.

[heady pulsar]

You can sacrifice weapons to Hadron(the crafting station chick) for mastery, if they are above grey. Or you can just play with the weapon. If you have materials to spend you can just buy a bunch of weapons -> upgrade to green -> sacrifice. You get the most mastery from sacrificing weapons of the same type.

[marsh elk]

oh I see, I'm just trying to master every weapon at that point 🙂

[red ginkgo]

That's going to be a big ordo/plasteel commitment. I wish you good luck 🫡

[ornate stag]

i mastered every weapon, i ended up just combining it with other penances to make the grind less bad

do 75 of the train mission or whatever, for example

[rigid wasp]

So, I'm seeing a split on the dump stat for combat blade. Some say damage, some say mobility. Any insight?

My thought is purely mobility and single target damage. Is the damage drop-off going to be worth trading for the mobility boost? I'm unsure how critical the first target stat is, as I've not really found anything in-depth about it.

[stoic locust]

The people who dump damage are very incorrect

It’s mobility

[rigid wasp]

Fair enough. I just wanted to look into it further before I decided on which blade to keep.

[stoic locust]

The difference between 60 and 80 mobility is negligible

[rigid wasp]

It seemed that way, but I thought it was maybe a placebo type thing and just me thinking stuff.

Thank you for the info!

[zealous dome]

First Target stat is very important

Like super important

[chrome rivet]

one thing i still dont get is why some players are ungrateful or straight up ignore you when you offer them a free penance completion.

[rigid wasp]

Neat. After doing some reading, I got a mod that shows the difference on first target. Indeed, it is important.

I liked it when I was still leveling Veteran, but the stats were junk and I've since swapped to other weapons. That said, I like variety, so I'd like a bunch of different stuff to use.

[spark glacier]

Say i'm not happy with the blessings I picked here, can I redo them? I believe there's a finite number of Blessing Points I can unlock for each weapon?

[vocal nacelle]

If you reach 20 you get all

[keen oracle]

This is just to unlock the blessings. You'll get all of them at level 20. If you're selective you can have the best options unlocked at level 4 around level 15 though.

You have to apply them to your weapon at Hadrons workshop

[spark glacier]

Ah I see

Thanks

[quartz flint]

So all the on hit effects that alter damage dealt like brittleness, shred, etc.

Are they applied on hit BEFORE or AFTER damage is dealt?

For example, if I hit something for the first time and apply brittleness to hit, did that first hit do more damage due to that effect applying, or would the effect only apply additional damage on the subsequent hit?

[velvet quiver]

the moment your swing connects it applies it

1. you hit - deal 60 damage apply 40% brittleness
2. you hit again - deal 90 damage, still at 40%
   etc

[quartz flint]

Right, but does that mean the damage dealt is under the effect of the applied effect?

Sorry I just saw the edit

Makes sense to me

[velvet quiver]

the first hit is the malcontent, everything after that scales with added debuffs

notable exception

bolt pistol

with explosion/damage radius

and Zealot Crusher

if you charge the Crusher and have the pistol equipped

it'll done the bonus damage

from the blessing on 1st hit

it had a similar mechanic with the thunder hammer but i don't know if they fixed it

"fixed", more like remove a fun interaction

[quartz flint]

Yeah this is why I'm asking actually

Basically to figure out if any blessings outside of thrust would make a harder changed bonk

Because on havoc 30+, I hit some stuff with a charged overhead and it just barely survives

[velvet quiver]

ouh yeah, that's classic. I get that all the time with the DS, that's why you spam the special attack (the jab) it has an absurd stagger % and it resets autoattack animation so you can overlap them like Charge Heavy > release > special > light > heavy

all in the time it'll take you to do a charge heavy + special

but the enemies scale big, i don't think there's a weapon that can 1 shot on havoc 30+

i mean consistently

[quartz flint]

Yeah it's usually just a single light attack finishes them. But it isn't ideal when a wall of 15 shieldgryns appear and they require 2 hits to kill each

Thanks for the help

[smoky ember]

lethal prox never interacted with thunder hammer

as lethal proximity affects the crusher's AoE

and thunder hammer does not have any AoE

also, there is no damage difference with lethal proximity, only a difference in the AoE of the special

[velvet quiver]

I require the Emperor's blessing in the form of 1 (or more, if you wanna come) Zealot to help me with the damn stun granade penance. It's the only 1 I have left and it's a b*tch and a half to do solo... T_T

thanks i got rid of the difficulty and it let me select havoc

[warped basin]

I understand this might be a broad question:
what should I focus on if I want to consistently be able to complete diff 4 (called Heresy? I can never remember), aside from improving mechanically of course? ~130 hours of playtime so far, lvl 30 on all classes, I have builds that work, stats maxed, diff 3 is a breeze
I don't go down often (once or twice per mission max, with a team that has at least a little bit of experience with the difficulty level it's barely even once) so I don't think I take too much damage, I try to care about positioning, pushing and horde management, pressing my buttons, focusing specialists if I have the build for it - generally doing what I'm supposed to be doing and trying to stay with the team
so it's entirely possible I might just be Dunning-Krugering here but I genuinely cannot find other reasons for when I wipe other than snowball due to someone running ahead and getting downed, or getting overwhelmed during objective because me or someone made a mechanical mistake (happens)

[smoky ember]

i’d recommend you post your build so people can give you advice

but the 2 pieces of advice i can give is

dodge more

and always pay attention to where specials are

also heresy players in general kinda suck

so it could just literally be teammates

you could try damnation, or auric heresy

[shadow skiff]

Builds just makes it easier. You'll just build up skill to do/play whatever at some point on aurics. Havocs is where late meta builds are more important if you aren't the top 1% of players. Also, there is that joke if you get gud in heresy, nothing phases you anymore. The main players there are the ones that feel too good for malice but suck too hard for damnation. Auric heresy is the next step up, players who think they can do aurics but can't do damnation again. There are still better players in auric heresy though. All I can say is, dodge is your best friend, and push is your other best friend. Never trust anyone in pubs. Keep an ear out at all times.

[warped basin]

yeah builds don't feel like they'd have major impact for me at this point yet, or rather, I haven't figured out anything about what I use that would need adjusting - like, if I make a build, I play with it for 5 missions and it sucks ass with how it performs, I'll tweak it or go back to what I like to use
yup, feeling too good for malice but unable to play damnation would sum it up for where I'm currently at, I'd like to get to a point where heresy feels comfortable and "easy" to keep track of
and well, I do the other stuff, dodging when playing sabre (with the extra crit/finesse bonuses), mixing it with blocking when playing every other melee weapon (I enjoy chainswords, hammers and ogryn clubs for cc)

and unless the build website has an option to autoimport builds from the game - that I missed somehow - I don't feel like copying six-eight builds by hand unless I reeeeeally think something's not working that I'm unable to figure out how to improve

what is auric about anyway? I know havoc is the endgame, ranking system with increasing difficulty, only did one mission of havoc so far, felt like... between malice and heresy

[shadow skiff]

We meant it in the bad way. Is ego related. All the legit worst players are in normal heresy. Also, auric board is normal, but spawn rates are increased. The director has free will to dook you over with increased caps as well. Low havocs are easy, the real havoc lvls are actually 35+. Most ppl will get stuck around 25 tbh.

[warped basin]

ah okay, might be the case for me as well, I want to get consistently good at heresy to move on to damnation or aurics
this is actually pretty funny, because the difficulty/player skill issue is the same here as it is in DRG, which I've played a good bit of as well (though they queue up for diff 4 there only in order to unlock diff 5, nobody really plays it otherwise and either goes to 5 to "tryhard" or sticks to 3 to goof around and relax)

so I might just give aurics or havoc a go and come back if builds etc. aren't working, thank you!

oh yeah one more question - curio power stats don't matter, right? only the blessings
and is a certain type of curio considered meta, or do all have the same stat range rolls?

[shadow skiff]

Only if stamina. You need 410+ for legit +3.

And that's true. Though true tryhards mod diff 6+ lul. I will agree with what Meow says, just skip to normal damnation. As long as you aren't doing absolute stupid, it'll be fine. You gotta get used to it anyway and breakpoints are harder there.

Or play auric heresy, it filters out the worst heresy players cos they can't deal with the increased bs in a way they feel good about.

[keen oracle]

Tbh, normal damnation has become a hellscape since Mortis

Probably from all the people that get told to skip heresy

[warped basin]

hm, what do now
mostly I just don't wanna be a burden because I know how infuriating it is having a player like that on the team, though of course everyone starts not great

[shadow skiff]

Well, skip to auric damns? The really crap ones will leave since they aren't willing to put in the effort to get better.

Doesn't feel good to always be losing as well, you know.

[keen oracle]

You'll have to make a jump sometime if you want to get better. Auric heresy/Normal Damn have their own challenges, so take your pick and send it. Take your best builds

[shadow skiff]

Trust us when we say, some ppl learn, some don't. Those that never do are just a secret challenge modifier.

[keen oracle]

No!! I'm saying Heresy is fine and not the disaster some claim it to be. It shouldn't be ignored imo

[shadow skiff]

As long as you are trying to help, it's all good.

[keen oracle]

Carry games are funny

As long as it's not every game

[shadow skiff]

To be fair, I got used to it. So heh. Is just fun when you get to hit one shot breakpoints there easily.

[shadow skiff]

Too tiring though. And too risky on my end since not good enough for it.

[warped basin]

oh yeah the occasional specimen ready to leave the moment they get downed after having run ahead of the team is sometimes there, but thankfully they usually get replaced by someone more useful

or someone who doesn't know how demonhosts work yet, whenever I have a player like that I'm like "oh no"

[shadow skiff]

That's fairly normal. Usually a loner zealot running off only to be dogged or trapped.

And to be fair, new players don't know about the witch so... heh.

[warped basin]

one would think if they chose to play this game, they've already played something like L4D2 which has an enemy that works exactly like that
I dunno, I was able to connect the dots immediately when I first saw one

[shadow skiff]

I mean, it was a Humble Choice game and such. And to be fair, you could come in with just liking 40k and never playing any of the Fantasy tide games or the zombie horde shooters.

[vocal nacelle]

play damnation for maximum rewards

[warped basin]

I think I'd rather stick with lower diff for now rather than have to hyperfocus a mission and come out 10 years older after each one
even Heresy sometimes takes a lot of focus out of me still

[shadow skiff]

The idea is to just have fun. If malice is more fun, just play it till it bores you then go for harder.

[vocal nacelle]

Just train the Muscle memory , will get there eventually

[keen oracle]

Nothing wrong with playing lower diffs if that's what you're in the mood for

[haughty lance]

okay, perhaps a silly question:
penances usually require at least malice threat or higher.. does that apply to this one too?
I just ran a warren 6-19 on sedition as it was the only one available at the time and didn't get it

or does my eye/aim just suck

[keen oracle]

To my knowledge, if it requires a difficulty it should say.

What did you shoot the bottles with? If you hit anything other than the blue bottles, I think it doesn't count

[haughty lance]

used a revolver.. trying a lasgun next

[patent jasper]

you most likely just shot a grey bottle

[haughty lance]

ah I see, even the lasgun sometimes destroys bottles behind a blue one, I just have to make sure to double check each one every time... sigh

[tawny estuary]

Get onto games that are Heresy or higher difficulty with the high intensity modifier (maelstrom missions sometimes have that), and just press F onto huge crowds. You can also try using the ogryn shield to get a big crowd going, but it may leave you open to disablers.

[velvet quiver]

if you don't play any havoc for a whole week it starts dropping, but if you play you stat your highest until you get 40

[velvet quiver]

and after that you cant downgrade unless you manually click "lower assignment"

[candid trail]

Need some help with flame psyker. I've been coming back to DT and I want to try it now.
in auric maelstroms I'm always at the low end of damage. sometimes half of the top damage dealer.

given there aren't as many hordes as in havoc I believe that's where my dmg should go up. but maybe my game sense on when and how to use flame staff isn't correct yet. I push myself to 85ish% Warp then charge flame staff to 95ish% then let it go on a horde. I quell to 85ish% then repeat if there's a horde. For single enemies I use Brainburst (a lot more than I thought) and dueling sword (for now, since I know it)

I've mostly been using a different version of hechs build on gameslantern and followed his gameplay. It's havoc 40 and he says in the build "otherwise it's shit" but I would still like some opinions on the game loop of the flame psyker or any insight into it on havoc 30+.

my GF crashes almost every time on claiming penances from hestia after completing a mission

could anyone recommend anything to fix this? Now i do have to mention that her PC is extremely CPU bottlenecked currently

very new, very strong GPU, old (but still decently strong) CPU
I know this isnt gameplay but technically she cant play properly with constant stutters and cant claim penances so...

Please @ me if anyone has a recommendation, we are currently experimenting with the threads setting in the launcher.

[void forge]

the dxgi reference makes me think it is gpu related

check https://support.fatshark.se/hc/en-us/articles/7709667528349--PC-How-to-Resolve-GPU-Crashes-in-Darktide

[cobalt stag]

that is strange, i looked it up too

but how could that be?

The gpu is literally super strong compared to the CPU

well, we disabled the picture frame thing, and did the appdata deleteing then restoring

also lowered the worker threads to 1 but i think this will just logically lead to way more stutters.

[cobalt stag]

@void forge so funnily, now the game of my girlfriend crashes every single time on the character select screen

we reverted everything we tried to fix crashes and stutters and now it made it a guaranteed crash on character screen.

[cobalt stag]

Literally, mathematically crashes, the character idles for like 10 seconds, and then game crashes, SAME error message, by the way.
And we did try everything that was sent in this link here.

and we also tried reverting everything, from AMD driver settings to fiddling with windows, so thats pretty crazy.

I'm just glad to know it's actually something that can be fixed. I just resigned myself to having to deal with it.

Tho the reason I popped in here was more about talents and some stats. Is there some resource that has better explanations for things. More specifically stats like strength, impact, etc. I've heard of more then one stat that actually does more then one thing but I always forget. I've also found myself a few times thinking a talent does one thing when it's actually different. I'm not new to the game but i've had a bit of trouble finding sources that aren't just discussions.

[smoky ember]

no, stats can reach a max of 80%

but it’s a max of 380 points

so one stat needs to be 60% (what’s referred to as a the dump stat)

for everything else to be 80%

[keen flume]

gunner resistenace on curio
Keep dodge sliding between their fire shots

[honest heart]

Alrighty I’ll slap those on thanks

[keen flume]

You can try to practise dodge slide on the meat grinder until you get used to prompts if you have difficulty to execute

But it is one of the best mechanics you can do especially agaisnt gunners

[keen oracle]

Only thing I will say, is gunner resist doesn't work on all ranged

Only gunners and reapers iirc

[honest heart]

Oh that’s fine normal gunshots aren’t thaaat bad

[keen flume]

normal or elite gunners you mean?

[clear plume]

dreg and scab elite gunners and reapers

[honest heart]

Yeah it’s typically the elites

[clear plume]

for gunner res

[keen oracle]

You will probably find regular shooters will be scarier than gunners now

[keen flume]

Until you get a massive gunner patrol spawn on you

[honest heart]

That’s gonna be fun

Actually I hate trappers but that’s probably just a skill issue

[keen oracle]

No, everyone does

[honest heart]

Okay awesome

what exactly its doing

[vocal nacelle]

It's best

[wary solstice]

faster regen while together?

[vocal nacelle]

Doesn't work well currently

[vocal nacelle]

Yes if there's no enemies in your melee slot

[wary solstice]

so its even worse

i thought it will help regen in psykers sphere too

[vocal nacelle]

No it doesn't affect the bubble regen

[ionic moth]

One bulwark
Two+ bulwark

[smoky ember]

only affects coherency regen

which is only active when you aren’t in melee combat

so its not active when you really need it

it’s not a good perk

[potent birch]

Might be a very stupid question but it's been a while since I last played and messed around with blessings.

I have a blessing on a weapon I wish to put on a different more powerful weapon so that I have two fantastic blessings on it.
How can I do this? There used to be a way but I'm a bit lost.

[somber peak]

Can anybody help me get to lvl 30

[lone adder]

You dont do that anymore: what you can do is basically master the weapon and use those mastery points you get to unlock the blessings you want. From there, you can apply it to any other gun you find.

[lone adder]

#vox-lfg-lexicanum not incredibly helpful I realize, but best ask there

[quartz epoch]

Hello, I have a question regarding movement tech with the dueling sword.
Yesterday I saw a guy doing what looked like a light attack just before a ledge and he got launched quite far. I know about the dodge sliding tech from a ledge but that was clearly not that

Does anyone have info to share please?

[shadow skiff]

Which class?

Zealots with IJ will dodge far with enough movement (momentum) stacks. Vets on Weapon Specialist will dodge far if they shoot something to death with their gun and switch to melee.

[quartz epoch]

Psyker

[shadow skiff]

With enough crits and scriers, they go nyoom. They also get an extra dodge as another node but I don't think they get increased dodge distance from memory.

[quartz epoch]

I can be wrong but I don’t think it has anything to do with dodge. I was waiting for rescue and watched that psyker play and I’ve seen it 3 times going straight toward a ledge and doing what looked like a light attack just before the ledge and he got launched the same way as when I dodge slide from a ledge.

Asking because that could be kinda useful for my psyker. I sometimes miss my dodge slide in the middle of the action, if there’s a tech that simply involve a light attack it would make my life easier lol

[zealous dome]

@sinful summit

[shadow skiff]

If it's dueling sword, doing a heavy while dodge sliding will help.

[grave yacht]

does Block start deflecting damage on the first frame of input or is there a delay while the animation plays

hey guys, i just got the game yesterday, and was wondering if anyone is willing to show me the ropes?

[leaden fjord]

@clear plume

What do you want to know

[shrewd magnet]

its not more on info, as much as running missions with someon, when i did some last night i got lost for 20 minutes xD

not my proudest moment ngl

[vocal nacelle]

i can help if you are on SEA region

[shrewd magnet]

EU sadly..

[vocal nacelle]

try #vox-lfg-emea

[shrewd magnet]

[zealous dome]

It's ok
There's not a lot of yellow paint to follow

[shrewd magnet]

what bamboozeled me was the fact i was going the right way, but the ai bots kept behind and kept saying i was going the wrong way

then i kept pushing past the bs they kept saying and apparently i WAS going the right way

so yea...

[shadow skiff]

The chatter isn't exactly telling you where to go. Is just convos.

I would help on like heresy, but not home atm. And no, am not from EU but can deal with ping.

[shrewd magnet]

i got a pretty stable connection

[shadow skiff]

The not home bit is the fact I'm in JP rn on holiday, otherwise I'll get on to ramble on about the game and such. Heh.

[shrewd magnet]

ah, fair nuff

xD

[shadow skiff]

Cos, I'm just not mechanically sound. But I would say I know enough to play. Ainz would be better if you wanna know where are the possible boss triggers and such.

[livid trench]

Anyone know where crashdumps go on Steam? Game is crashing this morning out of the blue.

[gloomy iron]

Hi , do you know what is the little icon we can see just near the damage a weapon can deal ? Do you have a guide that explains what it is ?

[gloomy iron]

Thanks a lot

What does cleave mean ? I'm French and I'm not sure i have the good translation ? Cleave is when you block ?

[zealous dome]

Cleave is a value that determines what enemies your weapons can go through

[ionic wedge]

i need help for a good psyker class that can clear hordes fast

[gloomy iron]

Ok thanks a lot again 😉

[zealous dome]

So every enemy has mass

If your cleave is higher than the mass, your attack will go through the target and hit a second target

So say, enemy has 1 mass, your weapon attack has 1 cleave, it won't go past the one enemy

[clear plume]

like 90% of psyker builds clear hordes

what weapons do you want to use

[zealous dome]

But now same 1 mass, but your weapon has 2 cleave

So you'll hit two targets but not a third

Same enemy, but 11.1 cleave

You'll hit 12 enemies

[ionic wedge]

the staff

all my classes got cleared for some reason

fire staff

[clear plume]

There are staff builds pinned in https://discord.com/channels/727074276724965407/1046914150363844779

there is 1 for fire staff

[gloomy iron]

And can we see it easily on the game ?

[zealous dome]

Well the difference between a low cleave weapon/attack to a high cleave weapon/attack is noticeable

Unfortunately the cleave values aren't really shown in the game

Nor the mass values

[gloomy iron]

Okay okay but yes I see which weapon can hit "many" target, thank u again 😉

where is the way to remove titles under teammates nicknames? its too big and spreads my attention on mission

I've never had that issue but iirc the russian(?) translation is probably making the title much longer than it probably is

[frozen dust]

anyone also crashing a ton but only on havoc mode and on console..?

[kindred inlet]

people playing doom were crashing a lot and they thought it was the driver

[tepid mirage]

everytime I verify the game's files, it says corrupted files detected, so I rectify the problem by going and verifying the game files on steam, then when I reverify on the launcher it still says corrupted files, I'm pretty sure this is related to the bad audio problems I have with the game, like the flamer just not having any voicelines at all, should I just reinstall atp or is there anything else I can do?

[zinc pelican]

reinstall

[quiet kestrel]

i have an annoying connection issue id like help with and i have a clip of it but idk if i can send it, its on medal so its a link

it's probably that

alright, ill try find a long enough ethernet cable to see if its that

[quiet kestrel]

it would seem thats the fix, i just now have to find a longer ethernet cable, thanks

[vagrant oak]

they are cheap on amazon, at least where I live 20m is like 10 euros, and its the flat kind, that you can squeeze through certain areas better, like under some doors

[shadow skiff]

Last resort, poke Ainz for help.

[proud talon]

can someone tell me what the objective "revive the clandestium gloriana" is? when doing that mission sometimes i see it sometimes not, and it always looks like something we skipped (objective marker points to lower areas during extraction). cant find anything about it online

[kindred inlet]

probably just the objective marker getting stuck on the switch you flip before the elevator to the iced gears section

happens all the time for some reason

[proud talon]

ohh i see, thankss

[candid hull]

is the boltgun good even if it has low collateral?

Yes

Some might even say that 0 collateral can make it feel a lot better

Collat affects stagger

You don't really want the target you are shooting to be stagger since his head hit box moves around

hey guys... I have a question about Havoc... I kept hearing people say after you do your maelstrom, you start from havoc 15 or something... however after my maelstrom it put me at havoc 1.... did I do something wrong??

did you do an auric maelstrom or a normal one

[flat nexus]

I think I did a normal one

did I just shoot myself in the foot by doing a normal maelstrom?

[clear plume]

I think so, try beating an auric mael and see if it jumps you up

[flat nexus]

So I just picked up Darktide on gamepass PC, and i keep getting these weird stutters where its like im getting 30 fps for about a second before it goes bakc up to my fps cap, im guessing its like shader loading but its wierd, 7900 XT paired with a 9800x3d

[kindred inlet]

stuttering appears to be a very common problem (this and networking issues are the greatest embarrassment for darktide gamers)

could try messing with your worker threads and setting it to like 8 and see if it still stutters, no one seems to truly know how this setting works

[vocal nacelle]

I thought boltgun collat affect damage, wait nvm thats stopping power

[modest marten]

Are there some good guides on how to get better at playing darktide? i do have around 200 hours now and know all maps and the basics fairly well and i kinda want to get out of the Haz4 bracket but i feel like i kind of suck sometimes

At the same time im just getting back to darktide after around 10 month and dont really know how much changed with gear and stuff

[late valley]

Well I guess where in particular do you think you're failing? Getting hit a lot? Downed a lot? Target priority? Etc

[modest marten]

getting hit a lot and in general loadouts

[late valley]

Well for getting hit I'd say 100% learn you sound queues for backstabs. And also dodge way more.

And for general loadouts best to ask in a class chat

[modest marten]

okay thanks. ima take a look at that

[polar forum]

also remember to push more

it's a 360 degree AOE lol

[modest marten]

push is all around?

thats crazy

[polar forum]

yeah

not that they explain it lol

[modest marten]

last time i played the tutorial or something was like 2 years ago

so no wonder i forgot stuff

[shadow skiff]

The tutorial misses so much though.

[full scaffold]

is there some kinda strategy for gloriana first event? if its a I-II-VEG or similar its just an absolute fkin disaster most of the time 😭

[polar forum]

in pubs you really have to focus the objective

if needed, you can put down a medkit down on the low ground to the right of the objective (when facing the next part of the map you go to)

right next to the rescue point, and relatively safe

[full scaffold]

do the switches activate in a certain order?

[polar forum]

uhh they prob give hints, i never have time to observe tho

[full scaffold]

yeah

i lose focus

because the wall of gunners and snipers and bombers is just crazy 😭

[zealous dome]

It could be any switch but it's always the first row first

Which sucks because gunners also spawn and have line of sight there

Hey... I'm having an issue where no matter what melee I equip... I constantly have the dueling sword in my hand... Does anyone know how to fix this bug? I've switched characters, I've restarted the game... but now my psyker is stuck with that dueling sword.

[zealous dome]

Check if you have the same curio equipped on different slots at the same time

[flat nexus]

swapped loadouts a few times, now it is fixed 🙂

[zealous dome]

🤷

[flat nexus]

weird thing lol

[zealous dome]

I guess that's just a fatshark moment

[clear plume]

I can explain gloriana mid event if you still want

[full scaffold]

please do

[clear plume]

When the lever is 1st pulled. the event starts. It's row based, so back row, middle row, front row for the power rods (?). It goes from back to front and there will be 1 error in each row. It starts left to right

so when lever pulled, back row left side

then it goes 1 by 1 to each power rod

1 of them will error

if you fix it within a time frame, maybe 10 sec? then it will just continue. You do not need to pull the level, no more errors in the row

then then back row is done, then middle row left side

repeat

if you fail the fix the power rod in the time frame it will short circut and you will need to pull the level again and the power starts from the beginning, back row left side

but if you already fixed the power rod in that row it wont error again

Please tell me if that makes sense

[slate pivot]

[clear plume]

it does not

[rigid latch]

Can someone be a buddy and explain the natures of finesse, cleave, strength, etc., to me?

[slate pivot]

I can explain cleave I think, basically there's two stats, one is cleave and the other is enemy hit mass, they're pretty much different sides of the same coin

each enemy has a hit mass stat, example:
80% hit mass
and your weapon can have cleave, example:
a weapon with 20% cleave

basically the more cleave you have on a weapon the more enemies it can go through while swinging, the other side of the coin being, weapons that can apply -something% hit mass on hit, I think it's the equivalent to giving your weapon +something% cleave, example:

weapon with a perk that gives +40% cleave on hit is the same thing as a weapon that gives -60% hit mass on hit

I might be wrong tho, this is waht I understand from searching what -40% hit mass does while using the Thunder Hammer

[clear plume]

@rigid latch here is an in-depth guide

Also, if you find Kuli's Steam guide. It might have more info

[rigid latch]

So is it a rollover situation? For example:

Say, hypothetically, enemy A has 70% mass and I swing with 130% cleave. Because I meet that mass with an additional 60% remaining, it can then still go through enemy B who has only 40% mass. Would this be accurate?

Or is it just whichever percentage is higher, period?

[rigid latch]

Hell yeah. I'll look into it right now

...Or not. Looks like I have to "make an account" for whatever that link is

[slate pivot]

yeah pretty much

[rigid latch]

The first example, or the second?

[slate pivot]

first example

it goes through enemies until the amount of cleave is lower than the amount of hit mass of an enemy

Excerpt from the guide about cleave:

Every enemy has an assigned mass. Cleave is the amount of mass that can be struck by an attack. An attack’s remaining cleave must exceed the mass of the enemy it’s hitting for the attack to cleave through that enemy. +clv stacks additively with itself and scales from the weapon’s base cleave.

Carapace armor ends cleave on contact (including infinite cleave) unless that attack has specific properties that bypass this (blessings such as Sunder, Perfect Strike).

Dmg-in-cleave and stagger-in-cleave decrease based on the number of enemies already hit by that attack, and each melee weapon has its own cleave distribution profile. First target refers to the very first enemy hit by a melee attack who receives the attack’s full dmg without any cleave distribution falloff. Ranged attacks (excluding Mk VI Combat Shotgun’s special shot) will maintain first target dmg (no cleave falloff).
