[slate pivot]

on heresy or higher

I was told the best missions for it are rolling steel and the twins

[clear plume]

indeed

meow was right

as she always is

[slate pivot]

maybe the mission'll be available in heresy in two hours

[clear plume]

I have a mod, I can play any mission

so if I help dont worry about map

[slate pivot]

yooo thats crazy

aight cool

[potent raptor]

Can someone help me complete the Malleus Monstronum quest?

[clear plume]

@slate pivot @potent raptor I can help now

[velvet tartan]

what is it?

oh this

i still have no idea what this means

cuz 50 hp is like, nothing to them

[clear plume]

50%

[velvet tartan]

does this mean 50% of its hp?

then where is % obese fish

it says 50 in game too

so you find a monstrosity, stall it as the psyker just brain bursts it to halfway or more

and then just finish it off

[late valley]

In a private game too

you can do it with a daemonhost and a taunt ogryn with shield

[velvet tartan]

i hate private game only penances

some of them dont even make sense

those can definitely be done with pubs

there are some that are straight up griefing to do with pubs, but they arent private only

i would love to do "just a flesh wound" but

well no but, i would love to do it

if anyone is up for it i can attempt in an hour or so

[late valley]

the community asked for them

get mad at them

[velvet tartan]

those specific penances?

like, that psyker penance?

so "kill an elite by blowing yourself up" is completely fine for pubs?

[late valley]

it used to be 3

now it's 1

[late valley]

Just a flesh wound and monsterous yes
Gone bowling not really though

[velvet tartan]

why tf is just a flesh wound private only

so that people dont harm themselves and rush others?

that one makes a bit of sense, sure

every penance can be done in a private match right?

well, i will be doing "just a flesh wound" in an hour if anyone wants to help out

i heard of a strat with bots and shroud and whatnot

[keen oracle]

Yes, I did it in pubs

Actually nearly failed the mission because of it

[velvet tartan]

yeah

exactly

it is straight up griefing

"guys imma kill myself for a penance brb"

[keen oracle]

I guess they figured people would get it naturally lol

Some do

Just not me

I'm that good

[velvet tartan]

naaah

people wont blow up

it is so easy to just

not

[keen oracle]

You say that but I have played pubs

[slate pivot]

imma just have dinner and I'll let you know when I'm ingame, is that okay?

[buoyant notch]

can someone help me with the shocking stuff penance

🙏

[shadow skiff]

I can also help if Ainz doesn't reply back then. Insert racist joke about Asians stealing jobs.

[slate pivot]

If you think you're good at something, there will always be an asian that's better than you -someone on the internet probably

[shadow skiff]

Naw, Ainz is actually better. I just do it because Clad shirked off doing itwent on holiday for abit. It just stuck basically.

[slate pivot]

aight I'll let you know when I finish having dinner

I finished dinner and am ingame :D

[shadow skiff]

Which vox?

[slate pivot]

strike team 26

[placid hull]

You can get the passive that will just give you the Corruption damage from it.
I think it would make very little difference to the team. I did it with a team and I honestly don't think they noticed, also the passive is yours to control and use as you see fit.
Many Zealots let themselves take damage for the buff's awarded.

[velvet tartan]

Can anyone help me with it is just a flesh wound?

[potent raptor]

can you help me sir?

[clear plume]

In a havoc mission rn, but I can help after

maybe 20min

[potent raptor]

thank you sir

[clear plume]

still need help?

[potent raptor]

thank you. I finished with Karien | 7054161273

[mystic wadi]

Anyone want do a private Heresy/Damnation game for "Just a flesh wound"?

[ashen berry]

I will do it

@mystic wadi if you're still trying to do the penance

[velvet tartan]

Need help for "channel your rage" gonna do a mortis run

[velvet tartan]

Karien the goat

Helped me with like 10 penances yesterday lmao

[velvet tartan]

Would do solo but can't make a private party

[buoyant notch]

can someone help me complete just a flesh wound penance?

🙏

[warped flint]

For havoc, do you always have to restart at level 1? I hate how it's so easy in the beginning and you have to rank up but is there an easier way to gain levels faster in havoc?

[shadow skiff]

Poke me when low int / normal heresy train. I'll get on.

[buoyant notch]

alr

[buoyant notch]

can someone help me complete just a flesh wound penance?

[mystic wadi]

[buoyant notch]

how do i join u

1824180176

[mystic wadi]

i have no clue xd. we will have to figure it out. i added u on disc so we dont disturb the chat here

anyone else want to join for "just a flesh wound" the more the better

[sinful summit]

Winning an auric maelstrom set you at 16
Beyond that, winning a match more than 5 ranks above yours bumps you up 2 ranks, and 10 ranks or higher bumps you up 3

[potent raptor]

exactly, she is the goat

[lofty timber]

Looking for some folks for "just a flesh wound". If anyone is interested hit me up.

[dense tulip]

might want to post this in one of the lfg channels https://discord.com/channels/727074276724965407/1045597890472579075

[lean oxide]

why do people perma decline on havoc parties?

like ill ask to join a 23 when my max shows a 26 and get declined almost insta?

[clear plume]

not a game problem, that is player mentality

the way made havoc made people way more selective on their teammates

since losing will lower their rank

so most people use mods to check the player they want to accept to see if they are running what would help Them win more

[wispy dagger]

bro i hate chaos spawn like there so annoying there basicly impossible to fight solo because they all was just pin you in a corner or a dead end and you cant fight back

[clear plume]

learning its combo helps

you can cycle their slam and grab attack

I can make a clip after my mission

[graceful raptor]

https://tenor.com/view/shifu-kung-fu-panda-git-gud-scrub-gif-9908673464158315671

[grave yacht]

what's the tell you use for seeing the grab coming in? i noticed in one of your vids that you've got that shit on lock

all the animations kinda just flail around, is there like a tentacle you try to notice

[lusty anchor]

I'm a returning player. Been gone for about 6-8 months. What's havoc and how do I progress? Apparently I'm havoc 16 and i don't remember.

[clear plume]

after my mission I can explain in depth

in a havoc rn

@sinful summit are you able to explain?

[lusty anchor]

Appreciate it...

[clear plume]

its mostly muscle memory to me

The Cspawn question

[sinful summit]

chaos spawns can do the grab on a cooldown, so after fighting them enough you can start to anticipate when they might use it (they have it off cooldown when they first start fighting you, so expect it as their first or 2nd attack)
its when they reach their right tentacle (your perspective) up and backwards, and the best way to deal with it is to dodge to the right, dodging back or to the left is for certain going to get you grabbed

[grave yacht]

gotcha. does the hitbox come out before the grab like the trapper net or do i try to time it a little more precisely

well ig that's something i can pretty easily answer myself

tyvm

[sinful summit]

the hitbox is in effect basically the moment they start moving the tentacle back forward

[grave yacht]

damn ok

[sinful summit]

its why it looks a little weird when you get grabbed cuz it seems to happen before the tentacle reaches you kinda

it still is a sweeping motion so the leftmost side of the hitbox is active later but if youre dodging to the left uh
lol

[grave yacht]

while i'm here, is there a tell for BON's grab? or is it just, don't stand in front of him

[sinful summit]

bon can only eat someone its vomited on

you can see based on the vfx at the corner of your screen, or the debuff on your buff bar

its a movement speed reduction and stacks 3x

and the bon typically will target people it can eat

if youre at 3
uh
have fun being eaten lol

[grave yacht]

does it need the full 3 or just 1

[sinful summit]

just 1

[grave yacht]

gotcha, tyty

[sinful summit]

since it has a duration indicator you can basically tell how long you need to keep distance from it generally

at 1 you can kinda just walk around
2 you have to dedicate everything to moving a way
3 its over for you

[smoky ember]

aside from what cole said, no not really

i’ve managed to dodge it a couple of times but it feels like it’s mostly luck

once ur vomited on you just have to make sure u keep ur distance

switch to dealing with horde and specials rather than the boss whilst u wait for the debuff to clear

[grave yacht]

[smoky ember]

thought BoN will prioritize you when ur vomited on, but it’s not always, it’ll swap targets under some situations

[sinful summit]

oh a tip for avoiding being eaten
if you get cornered and are about to be eaten, if you can get it to do another action like vomit (cuz you have enough distance that it tries again)
you can use that window to slip past him, even if youre literally squeezing right next to him
he cant start an attempt to eat you until he finishes what youre doing

[grave yacht]

i've seen people just like run right through his tail as though the collision isn't there

his body seems very small relative to the visual

[clear plume]

Doing an Auric Maelstrom will bring you to level 16, win a havoc mission accessed through the Havoc Board. Win 1 mission to go up 1, if you lose 3 in a row you go down 1

[lusty anchor]

So I play with a couple buddies, we do auric maelstroms frequently and they are still on lvl 1.. However, i'm on 16. I think it was before i left the game though

[smoky ember]

is there any criteria for a BoN eating an enemy or is it just chance

[clear plume]

Maybe?

Unsure on that part

[smoky ember]

reply fail?

oh wait

nvm

[sinful summit]

if he tries vomiting and theres an horde enemy near his mouth ig
thats mostly based on experience tho

[smoky ember]

i’m stupid

[smoky ember]

fair

[clear plume]

I feel like if there is poxwalker

and its mission hp

cause it can even stop attacks halfway to eat

*missing

[velvet tartan]

I just keep dodging around in circles lmao

Guy gets flabbergasted

[lime idol]

just 1
the stacks decrease player movement speed, so the more stacks u have, the easier it is for BoN to catch up to u and vore u

the sludge trail they leave behind do not apply stacks, only their vomit attacks do

[round verge]

My friend and I never see the same havoc parties in party finder. Is there something that we're doing wrong? Our settings are as open as they could be, i.e. havoc with no range selected.

[clear plume]

Party Finder is region based, it will only look into regions you have selected on your mission board

[round verge]

That's the issue for sure then

[keen flume]

[buoyant lily]

Have you looked at that link (If you're running an Intel CPU)? Have you tried to verify or reinstall Darktide at the very least?

[slim citrus]

okay so i havent played since the karnak twins where teased so 2 questions, is there a website or something i can go 2 for builds cause i dont even know what the skill trees do these days and please tell me this psyker blace force greatsword is as cool as it looks and feels?

[vocal nacelle]

1. check the class channel
2. yes

you can do moonlight slash with psyker greatsword

[slim citrus]

noted

is there somewhere i can get a breakdown on what the stats actually mean again cause like

i have no idea what im looking at ngl

mainly the yellow/greybars which admittedly might be a mod

[keen oracle]

That's normal

[slim citrus]

right but what do they mean

[keen oracle]

Warp res to 60 max, don't worry about anything else lol

Though, if thats the one you have it's ok

[slim citrus]

okay but id like 2 understand what im looking at

is the yellow bar what this weapon roll got versus the maximum possible or is it like

it could get to where the grey bar is if i max it out?

like upgrade it

[keen oracle]

Grey bar is the max that particular weapon can get

Yellow is current number

Max your weapon rating to fill the grey bars

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/modifiers

That's what the individual stats do

[vocal nacelle]

yellow is the current stat, greyed is the max potential you can get

you can uppgrade the stat at hadron

but you need to level upp the weapon mastery first

[slim citrus]

is it like rng or is the grey simply what i will get if i max it out all the way?

if so is this not a pretty good roll for the literal first blaze greatsword i grabbed lmao?

like why do i still have such a huge grey bar on something thats maxed?

[keen oracle]

Because it isn't maxed

Rarity and rating are different

500 is max rating, not 410

[slim citrus]

so what just roll grey weapons until i get a hight rating? and upgrading the rarity wont change the actual stats but just give me perks and blessings?

[keen oracle]

The grey bars will always be the max you get when you upgrade your rating fully.

The RNG comes with the weapon itself. So that is a half decent roll for an FGS yeah lol. Warp res is better though. Ideally your rating would start at mid 300 for cheaper upgrading. I think 380 is the max you can get from Brunts shop

[slim citrus]

im confused how do u upgrade rating? i only know how to upgrade rarity

also what about this? like its 500 yet the stats arent max max so like what rng is happening here for weapons 2 roll like this

[keen oracle]

Your bug focus on rolling weapon is your grey stat. Most weapons have a "dump" stat you don't really care about like warp res, mobility, defences etc. ideally this is 60 at max but the numbers can vary a lot.

You upgrade your rating at Hadrons shop

You can upgrade everything about a weapon outside those max stats

[slim citrus]

i do remember the concpet of dump stats i think when i last played i was just prioritizing blessings n stuff

[keen oracle]

Blessings you can just add at Hadrons given they are unlocked and your rarity is high enough for the slots

[slim citrus]

so is the sword i posted just now from melks shop any good? im still lost on why there all so close to max despite the rating already being maxed

OH wait is it like

[keen oracle]

It will do ok. It's not optimal

Ideally max stats would be 80 for all except warp res, which would be 60

[slim citrus]

u get a weapon and it shows u its maximum possible in each stat and maxing out the rating is how u get it there?

[keen oracle]

Yes

[slim citrus]

ahhhhh ty bro

very simple but im autistic with it and need it layed out in a super specific way before it clicks

[keen oracle]

But individual weapons can have different max stats, so you have a bit of rng

[slim citrus]

just as a test run

if im understanding this then

is this not a fucking insane pickup?

if i max out the rating everything but warp resist would be at 80%?

[keen oracle]

Yes, thats perfect as a base

[slim citrus]

it aint a greatsword but ill grab it

[stoic locust]

Obscurus has the best armor killtimes of everything

It is the singular best

[slim citrus]

yeah but it aint a greatsword

[stoic locust]

Just telling you

It suffered from middle child syndrome for the longest time

[rain shell]

anyone know why this is crashing? is this from a mod?

what can cause a total game crash for all participants of a lobby? we (2 friends mine and me) just did the rolling steel mission and right at the end all our games crashed at the same time

[smoky ember]

was there a random

[modest marten]

yes

[smoky ember]

there’s a chance they were using some mod that crashed the game on accident

or it could just be

[clear plume]

At which part of the map? During the battery event?

[smoky ember]

[modest marten]

yeah literally the last part

[clear plume]

The power cell part?

[modest marten]

ye

[clear plume]

I see

[smoky ember]

when you destroy the computers?

[modest marten]

yes yes

[smoky ember]

ok so the very end

not the battery part

lol

[clear plume]

Nevermind then

I know of the battery crash

Either or a bad mod

Like meow said

[modest marten]

oh i thought thoose things you need to destroy at the end are batteries

thats why i agreed

[clear plume]

Your fine

Meow cleared it up

[smoky ember]

typical me W…

can’t spell meow without Me W

[clear plume]

Oooooo

[modest marten]

i think i saw the first thing getting destroyed and then instant crash

[rain shell]

is there a problem with mortis trials? i revalidated my game files and turned off the newer mods i downloaded before my game started crashing and it is still crashing but only in mortis trials with the same error

[clear plume]

Running any mods?

Perchance "let me see"?

Weapon customization also crashes

[rain shell]

let me see wasnt causing crashes before but i also wasnt playing mortis trials so ill see if its that one, i appreciate it

[whole flame]

real

[still iron]

how do get skulls

kills?

[fickle ether]

You can find them around the map and inside chest. Aswell as a chance to drop after killing something these always count as just 1 that you need to press E on to break. There's also this #darktide-pics-vids message that gives out 250 skulls once destroyed.

Be warned breaking the skull totem thing tends to spawn a boss from what I've seen and can also have a DH camping it.

[keen flume]

It seems to garantee a chaos spawn if you break it or destroy

[fickle ether]

Yea that's what I was getting

[keen flume]

I think theres a small chance to spawn two chaos spawns

[fickle ether]

Based

[still iron]

TY

[jaunty junco]

anyone know how the skulls event work?

did 1 run in quickplay damnation

didnt really get anything

[zealous dome]

Did you play the mission with the modifier?

[jaunty junco]

oh what specific modifier is it?

is it Dark Rituals?

[zealous dome]

When you look at the mission board it should have a hexagon with an inquisition insignia

[jaunty junco]

ooo

[novel blaze]

any of these mods been causing issues for you guys? I've been getting disconnects here and there.

[fickle ether]

Scoreboard, NumericUI and Creatuer Spawner all work fine on my end

[velvet quiver]

okay I got a couple of quick Qs...in the paid cosmetics shop next to some of the items there's a yellow skull, what does that mean? also, the last rewards from the limited time event, that's Aquilas, right? (the paid currency)

[velvet quiver]

did u check if they're not outdated?

[late valley]

Basically they're regiment sets.
They're more expensive that;s what the gold skull means
and yes that's aquilas at the end

[storm glen]

How hard is that premium currency challenge to do? Or how long does it take to do?

[late valley]

like 6 hours

maybe

[keen flume]

The event will last until 6 june so theres enough time

[modest marten]

for the steam achievements it says something about a corruptor? whats that? are thoose the things where you have to destroy the 3 little nodes and then the thing that opened?

[clear plume]

Do you know the demon objective, where you break the 3 arms then the eye that opens up?

[modest marten]

yeah that

[clear plume]

the eye is the corruptor

[modest marten]

i was thinking about that but i wasnt sure

thx

[gaunt wasp]

do multiple chaos spawns... spawn when you destroy a totem win this new event?? i just had three spawn on vigil station before the scanning area

[clear plume]

Yes

[gaunt wasp]

ok that rules, thx

[uncut phoenix]

I was looking for people to assist with the flesh wound pennance and other things wanted to know if I post here to see if I could be assisted? Sorry very new here.

[graceful raptor]

better do it in vox channels

higher chance to get help

[sturdy fractal]

is there a certain worker threads setting recommended in the launcher for best performance?

[keen flume]

8 threads is the most recommended and stable from what most people been talking

[vocal nacelle]

Middle slider or less

[shadow skiff]

Depends on cpu. Safe is number of real cores +/-1.

[sturdy fractal]

I'll have a try of some different settings thanks people

[arctic oyster]

Has anyone else been getting freezing with the ogryn box of grenades since this update?

[clear plume]

What kind of freezing and when?

When the boxes explode so they lower your fps so low it seems like it froze?

That's a common thing for consoles and some pcs

[arctic oyster]

Freezing on the explosions, yes. It seems to be most prevalent on missions with the Dark Rituals modifier

[ornate stag]

does mortis trials difficulty effect spawn rate, or just stats?

[wheat ether]

im in need of some help. game is running like shite for some reason after having no issues running it for 160hr.

im on a I7 7700k quad core and rtx 2070 and was hitting 60fps on high settings this afternoon. but come 4 hours ago. im struggling to keep 15 that isnt the main menu. any ideas what i can do to help this?

i verified files. updated drivers, and clean installed the game and still struggling with 15fps

[late valley]

What driver version are you on?

becuase 576.40 isn't playing nice with darktide

[wheat ether]

im on driver 576.52

[late valley]

Hrm

[wheat ether]

it is their lastest driver they brought out. but it was running terrible even before i updated to the new driver

previous driver was on was version 576.28

[late valley]

you mentioned verification I'm guessing a steam one?

the launcher verification is useless

but you reinstalled so that point is moot haha

Did raytracing get switched on by accident perhaps?

[wheat ether]

it didnt. i asked someone in a game when i was testing setting. and worker threads are the solution atm

im just settting them out but it was set at 1? i put it on 4, cause i got 4 cores. and it was stable at 30

which is a improvement

so im gonna do more testing

[late valley]

try 8

it's usualyl teh most stable

[wheat ether]

i only have up to 6

i found so far 4 is the most stable forme

[dawn mortar]

Do you have to do something special to get past lvl 30?

didnt know you could reach 40

[kindred inlet]

mod i guess. but you should know that if that's your screenshot

so maybe he's hacking lol

(true level mod shows you the levels you've gained post 30)

[clear plume]

Thats his havoc level

seperate from player level

he has cleared havoc rank 40

[kindred inlet]

oof im dum

I didn't realize vanilla doesnt show your level above your head lol

guh

[tepid ridge]

Hi guys. Can someone pls explain "Armourbane" blessing
It says +brittleness based on charge. Does max amount comes with full charge or should hold it more?

[clear plume]

Does this help?

[tepid ridge]

yep... Why this info not in the game?)

[clear plume]

lmao

[tepid ridge]

fact...

[clear plume]

you think they add quality of life or explain anything?

welcome to tide games

it is a bit of the charm of them

[tepid ridge]

its like looking on different Models of weapons. Sure, some numbers sligtly change... But how on earth should i guess that different Helbore have different charge time...

[clear plume]

higher damage, slower weapon

this applies to basically all ranged weapon

[tepid ridge]

Yeah, I got it in old versions, where we had to buy/loot models separately

[rigid wasp]

So what's this new event, and where to find it?

[red ginkgo]

You'll find missions with the modifier "dark rituals" in the mission terminal. They're the ones with the icon

Well, that icon but yellow of course

[rigid wasp]

Ty kind stranger

[brave wadi]

Hello! what is this opaque yellow bar represents?

[little coyote]

it's how far the stats can be improved upon on that weapon

[brave wadi]

via consecrating it right? i can reach that opaque yellow bar?

[little coyote]

yeah

and it requires you to level up the weapon mastery, if that's not familiar to you yet

[brave wadi]

Its not. haha. cool! Thanks bro!

[kindred inlet]

empower, not consecrate

consecration gives you the perks and blessings

[little coyote]

oh yeah, I mixed those up as well

[frail scarab]

Does anyone know if the current event is per character or per account?

E.G can I grind Aquilas on one character then grind more on a second?

[keen oracle]

It'll be shared across all of your characters on that account

[sturdy fractal]

Any tips on ways to fix stuttering? Performance seems fine as far as I can see but I notice stutter here and there

[sour olive]

With the new Mastery system in place, what's your top priority for spending resources?

Options:
1️⃣ Unlocking and upgrading blessings through Mastery
2️⃣ Enhancing weapon stats to reach the power cap
3️⃣ Spamming curios for better survivability
4️⃣ Saving resources for future updates
5️⃣ Still figuring out the best strategy

[velvet quiver]

when did it start?

[velvet quiver]

what new Mastery system? 😮

[velvet quiver]

Account bound

I have a question about the ogryn pickaxe...if you had to dump one stat EXCEPT Defence, which would it be?

[vocal nacelle]

cheap way is level up the weapon by playing mission or if you are rich just dump 20K plasteel to level your mastery

[velvet quiver]

Brunt's Armory > buy 20 grey ones > upgrade to blue > sacrifice > profit

[vocal nacelle]

green is enough

blue is overkill

[velvet quiver]

I have an odd question with a statement that has been bugging the shit out of me forever and I'd like to know how and where to address it. On Ogryn when you equip Pickaxe your left foot scewers in an unnatural way and it looks disgusting...where might one bitch and complain about that? xD

@thelambsauce
I kinda got a request for the new class my dog snati had to be put down because he had cancer he was a good boy never barked, was well behaved, never ran far away, was kind to our other pets and was kind he was 10 when he died and would be now 15 and i kinda would like some kind of reference to him be it a customization option for the cyber mastif or a easter egg i would greatly apriciate it

[sour olive]

Not new new. The Mastery system was introduced with the Unlocked and Loaded update, on Sep 26, 24. I took a hiatus from purging before that, so it's relatively new for me since I just came back.

[sharp salmon]

What armour type are the yellow shields some boss enemies have? Can you entreat a weapon to be better against those?

[leaden fjord]

no

those bubbles are like refractor shields or whatever warhammer calls them

weapons that hit a lot, as in swing fast, do best

such as chain weapons or the knife

there's a damage cap on how much damage you can do to the shield

chain weapons when you rev them up and latch them onto the shield shred them

[sharp salmon]

Can the Shock Maul do that too

[leaden fjord]

not really

the little zap poke doesnt do much

and the smaul kinda stinks

[vocal nacelle]

Fast melee weapon break shield faster

Or chain rev weapon

[velvet quiver]

Void shield

it's not flak or carapace etc.

also ranged weapons dont do shit to it so only melee otherwise you're wasting ammo

[vocal nacelle]

For ranged its not that good but vraks autogun , twin stubber, ripper gun is decent

[velvet quiver]

however, notable exceptions in the damage department are the zealot's powered up relic blade, when you combine Eviscerator's special + dash it counts all the times it hits it as separate attacks

the powered up Crusher

and...basically that's it xD

[leaden fjord]

only exception is twins/havoc twins

rinda's shield takes more damage from ranged, rodin's from melee

[velvet quiver]

only then, yes

also I noticed if you apply stagger 3 before shield pops up

they fall

and roll on the ground

without shield

i have no idea how to replicate it

[steep geyser]

Hello, im coming from Deep Rock looking for another PvE game, DRG doesnt have as advanced stat system for weapons. Ive looked at a few videos that describe the weapon stat system for Darktide, but I think their outdated. Im just confused on what dark yellow and light yellow bar signify on each modifer, also im confused on what the [#/#]% format means below each modifier. If anyone could help, id greatly apreciate it!

[fading peak]

how does the Dark Ritual thing work? for example, I see some one missions diff 3 and diff 4, but do they rotate? tier 3 missions feels to hard for me yet and I wanna do the event

[clear plume]

The event will be 1 every difficulty, so 7. 2 in auric 5 in normal board

they will have random modifers with them (lights out, puppies)

[clear plume]

Are you able to vc?

or do you want to type it out?

[steep geyser]

I cant vc i apologize,

[clear plume]

all good

[fading peak]

You need to explain it to me a bit more, coz im quite new to the game 🙂

[clear plume]

see the maps with the "I" icon

those are the events

there will always be atleast 1 on difficulty 3,4,5

1 on auric heresy (4)

1 on auric damnation (5)

they look like this

[steep geyser]

I dont really have enough free time to learn all the nitty gritty of the game sadly so dont worry about it lol. The game just seems like too much for me to learn with the amount of free time i have

[clear plume]

its not complicated

its just hard to explain to newer people since Fatshark doesnt explain anything

[clear plume]

@fading peak makes sense?

[steep geyser]

lol if they just kept the same system as vermintide 2 then there wouldnt have been any problems

[clear plume]

there still would be, since alot of DT players dont play VT

[steep geyser]

you could understand vermin2 without a whole ass hour long video

[clear plume]

so

need help or no

[fading peak]

It does, yes, I was just curious if you can roll it on missions with difficulty 1 or 2,

[clear plume]

its alot of added difficulty

so they didnt want new players to be scared

[fading peak]

So I need to git gut to play at tier 3+ difficulty missions to participate in skull event?

[clear plume]

Yes

[kindred inlet]

he left instead, sadge

[clear plume]

lmao

[fading peak]

Now this mayb e a stupid question, but how do I git gud enough as a newcomer to beat tier 3 missions?

[little coyote]

dodge more

dodge is your lifeblood

dodge is your friend

[keen flume]

Dodge, listen to audio cues, social awareness
Learn how to push

Malice is where the game starts to show actual difficulty for new players

[fading peak]

audio clues are for elite enemies like doggo or trapguy or fatso who loves to rush from behind, that I am learning quickly coz its similar to my old love L4D2.

dodge... so, just tap space like a madman and make it a natural habbit

social awareness is something that makes me feel weird, coz it requires more then my own effort, but I get it, stick together and be aware of whats going on

Malice is teir 3?

[keen flume]

Yes

[little coyote]

I recommend changing the dodge key separate from jump tbh, wont cause any accidental jumps when you need to dodge

[lone adder]

^^

[keen flume]

If you are already familiar with specialists in L4D2 then that is a good thing as you know that lot of the specials in DT work very similar

[grave ocean]

When did the gun inventory mechanics change why do I need to level my lasgun

[little coyote]

Half a year ago or so

[keen flume]

I honestly just use that one mod that prevents accidental jumps

[grave ocean]

Jesus christ

[lone adder]

A few updates ago with Unlocked and Unloaded

[kindred inlet]

it's a better and easier system now

[lone adder]

Also another thing: be aware whats within a horde, because you might have to change up how you dodge and space yourself if the horde is comprised of melee elites or ogryns

[keen flume]

Ogryn patrols stacked up all together

[lone adder]

Me when Bulwark horde hiding Maulers

[fading peak]

roger that

[keen flume]

Also forgot to say besides listening to audio cues, dodge and stuff also learn how to dodge slide

Slide and dodge slide becomes important in later difficulties agaisnt lot of the gunner units

[lone adder]

^^

Sliding perpendicular to gunner hordes will allow you to not get hit as often

Also sliding is much faster than continuing to sprint with 0 stamina

And you dont need any sort of momentum to slide, just need to start running

Also it ignore physics, so you can slide up stairs and keep momentum

[keen flume]

And you even can get extra speed from sliding of ledges

[little coyote]

Oh and about sound cues, you will be alerted by a swooshing sound whenever you are being hit from behind, that's a good moment to dodge and your block will work 360° if need be

[kindred inlet]

sprint sliding is also absurdly important, even more than dodge sliding

[keen flume]

Try also not to waste all your stamina when you about to face enemies and bursters

Me when I am sprinting wasting all my stamina, hear two poxbursters coming at him so i rush into them, stop try to push only to forget I am an idiot for wasting my stamina

https://tenor.com/view/bro-is-finished-cooked-finished-dog-closing-eyes-dog-with-eyes-closed-gif-8933440936102921947

[lone adder]

I have this issue so often

Ive been trying not to sprint everywhere now

[keen flume]

800 hours playtime and I still do that shit

[steady aspen]

Sorry if this is the wrong channel, but I'm trying to get the Cliffhanger penance and everything dies too quickly. Some of the advice I've seen online is to ask for help here, so here I am.

[keen flume]

You can ask for people who want to help with the penance in #vox-lfg-lexicanum

[steady aspen]

Thanks!

[keen flume]

Though the way I done it, I recommend you using the blaze force sword and play on the mission that has the phage tree

In near the end after destroying it has those three bridges that Masozi destroys them

[steady aspen]

I've been trying to do it with smite because the force sword's push is way too small, I only end up knocking down 1-2 enemies

[keen flume]

Venting shriek does help

[steady aspen]

I'm a new player, my character is only level 10

[keen flume]

You will get it eventually, it is just some tedius penance for early players
Lot of people are willed to help with penances

[steady aspen]

Ty, I just really want that hood lol

[dawn mortar]

What do i need to do to take this blessing into my own inventory of blessings if that makes sense

[little coyote]

mastery rank and unlock blessings

[dawn mortar]

whats the magnifying glass for then?

[little coyote]

you haven't unlocked it yet

[dawn mortar]

Its not saying you can scrap the weapon for the blessing its just saying you still need it

[little coyote]

you don't scrap weapons to unlock blessings anymore

this menu will do all that

[keen flume]

You have to level the mastery of weapon in which by every level it rewards with masterypoints and higher weapon power level

[dawn mortar]

right ive done the masstery stuff

so once i get the tier prize tha increases my gear another 500 power level itll unlock?

[little coyote]

uh

which weapon is that blessing for

and what mastery rank is that weapon

[dawn mortar]

I think for the one shot shotgun

[keen flume]

Kickback by sounds of it

[dawn mortar]

i exited game

yeah it is

i believe im at rank 4 thnough

[little coyote]

so this one

[dawn mortar]

yes

[little coyote]

By the image you posted, it shows looks like you've not unlocked the blessing at all

you just have a weapon that comes with one

for comparison, my Power maul has blessings that I've not yet unlocked in the mastery screen

[keen flume]

This really is a Fatshark moment of poorly explaining things to players

[little coyote]

I mean I really think this might be confusing if you've used to the old system and you are a returning player, newcomers might not have that much trouble with it

[keen flume]

It took me a while to understand the system and I got the game when the Locked and unloaded came out

[little coyote]

ah, fair

[dawn mortar]

so i cant get perks off that weapon in any way i can only use that perk if i keep that specific weapon i bought?

[little coyote]

you can get it to any weapon of that type once you've unlocked it in the mastery menu

[dawn mortar]

or its just more mastery points i need to slot in

got ya

tx

[wide axle]

is there a +2 wounds curio or is it wishful thinking?

[keen flume]

Only 1+ wound

[wide axle]

🫡

[keen flume]

2+ wound curios would be too OP for the game and martydrom zealots

So you just need to use several 1+ curio

[clear plume]

martydrom stops at 6 stacks

[wide axle]

thats handy to know

[stoic locust]

Thought it was 7

[buoyant notch]

can someone help me with the clifhanger penance
🙏

[clear plume]

6 or 7

idk

[stoic locust]

You just can't get 7 in damnation

[little coyote]

doesn't the tree give a few too

[stoic locust]

Three +1 wounds plus 2 from the tree plus 2 base

7 wounds, of which you can have 6 missing

[worthy current]

you can have more in mortis trials with a specific indulgence

that gives +2 wounds

i don't remember which archetype it was

[sturdy fractal]

I'd probably say since I started playing again/reinstalled? I've verified the game I am using some mods but I notice it with or without mods and although it's not the worst it's just frustrating to have in general

[rigid wasp]

How do i fix the micro slutters on ps5?

After I restart ps5 or game everything is fine for like 4 5 games ,then every 4 5 min a small freeze or stutter sound effect happens

[dawn mortar]

is this worth buying? seems like its pretty good

i would change the stam obvy

this is the weapons i would usually use but it feels like if were being overwhelmed a single target pick axe might do better.. Any thoughts?

[buoyant lily]

No, no good

The ideal dump stat for the pickaxe is Defense

You definitely want First Target higher because it ramps up the axe's damage

Especially on the Branx, the ST oriented variant

[vocal nacelle]

Can just change to mk4 knife

Mk6 kinda bad on moveset

And upgrade the weapon

[late valley]

anyone seen this error?

haven't updated drivers am running mods

[keen flume]

Outofboundsmanager?

[late valley]

yeah I've never see tha tbefore

[kindred inlet]

maybe a weird version of the out of memory crash

[steady fable]

when i post my havoc mission how do i get it to show what lvl im doing casue i see some have the 1-40 in yellow and some have nothing

[vocal nacelle]

select current havoc assignment

[velvet quiver]

have you checked GPU drivers (Nvidia App or AMD?)

also Win Cumulative updates

[sturdy fractal]

All my drivers and Cumulative updates all appear to be in date

[fading peak]

Dumb question, but why LFG channels are spread for "lexicanum" "nasa" "emea" and "apac", what does they mean? I know, its not the smartest question You saw today...

[late valley]

NASA: North America and South America
EMEA: Europe, Middle east and Africa
APAC: Asia and pacific

[fading peak]

Oh, so they are just servers/regions, okay, thats smart naming, thanks

[velvet tartan]

Nasa is for people in space

[fading peak]

What can I do with all the early low power weapons that I do not need?

[late valley]

Sacrifice them for mastery points just make sure the weapons you're sacrificing match the weapon you're giving the mastery too

So sacrifice chainswords for chainsword mastery etc

[fading peak]

Roger. What about white weapons?

[late valley]

Upgrade them once to green then sacrifice them

[fading peak]

Roger, thanks.

[torn cargo]

When the skull event thing finishes?

[keen flume]

6th June I believe

[torn cargo]

Thanks a lot!

[velvet quiver]

Needs to be green at least otherwise it's considered as an act of disrespect to the Omnissiah. (it sounds like a joke, but I'm serious xD )

[fading peak]

So I must sacrifice my hard earned materials to be able to please the Omnissiah with the green piece of equipment. Understandable, its actually funny the more You think about all other games and vendors buying off of you 281 broken swords, 172 teacups, 189 broken jars and 722 pieces of scrapped leather.

[velvet quiver]

I know, right? xD

here, have these 18,000 rolls of cheese.

[fading peak]

Aight, time to jump in and learn the game some more.

[vocal nacelle]

Dont click special assignments

[fading peak]

I tried twice the 2difficulty, but dayum, we got gotted hard.

[vocal nacelle]

It do be like that for new player

[fading peak]

If gremoir - or whatever is the typing of taht word - holder dies, the item is lost, correct?

[keen flume]

You can't drop it unless you destroy it or die while holding it

[velvet quiver]

gets destroyed yea

Grimmie = The Epstein list

[stuck marlin]

What is the best class/build for a support?

[clear plume]

What's your definition of support?

I personally see it as someone who can help prevent teammates from going down, and that in darktide would mean having a build that deal the best damage

[stuck marlin]

Keep team alive so they can focus on killing stuff

So what would be best for dealing damage? I was thinking veteran

[clear plume]

Zealot then, taking the middle ability (chorus) your teammates are almost invincible

While you are using it

[stuck marlin]

Okay awesome

[clear plume]

Vet can get the similar affect from their middle ability

Voice of command

[vocal nacelle]

if this is your first time playing , darktide is not a horde shooter like left 4 dead the melee part is also important

[graceful raptor]

mid sections in every tree seem like helping

but smoke grenade also helps

invisibility also might help

so its not so obvious everywhere

[stoic locust]

Invisibility hurts as often as helps

[vocal nacelle]

also avoid the bottom left "SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT"

[pine trellis]

anyone have any tips for finishing orthus on hard mode?

[shadow skiff]

Ask @clear plume for help. Heh. Unless you want serious answers. Then it's basically getting good at the time and remembering that mechanics gets extended and such.

[pine trellis]

you're the 3rd or 4th person to suggest that haha

I just feel bad for getting taxied

or asking for one rather

[shadow skiff]

Naw, Ainz usually will do it if he's free and playing Darktide. YOu can see how many times he bullied the twins lul.

[pine trellis]

gotcha, well if I see him online I'll get in touch. thanks 🙂

[vocal nacelle]

Whats your current loadout

[pine trellis]

recently been playing a full gold toughness Vet with the recon lasgun and chainsword for mob clearing, but I have a couple of the "meta" builds set up, they're just not as fun to me

[vocal nacelle]

Normally you want to bring ogryn or zealot and Bringing recon vs twins is not an efficient way

[pine trellis]

I've noticed lol, unfortunately I haven't made a zealot or an ogryn yet

looks like I've got some grinding to do

[vocal nacelle]

you fight twins (flak+ carapaced armor) with ragers + crushers + disabler + horde at the same time
need something to reduce the pressure fast

[novel blaze]

everytime I add mods to darktide it causes disconnects and server desync

anyone know why this happens?

[graceful raptor]

maybe they are outdated

[pine trellis]

you think the mk4/plasgun meta vet build would fare any better? I've also got that set up

[novel blaze]

how can I tell

[graceful raptor]

game crashes?

[novel blaze]

error code 2001 and 2014 and some desync where things will just freeze but the match is still going for a lil

it doesn't happen all the time but it's ruined some runs for me

[graceful raptor]

should not be about mods but im not sure

[pine trellis]

in my experience if it's mod related it full crashes

idk about disconnects

[pine trellis]

have you checked nexus to see if anyone's having similar issues?

[novel blaze]

most of the people I see having these issues are reddit threads from like 2 years ago

[vocal nacelle]

Should be decent enough, i recommend bringing field improv talent on vet

[pine trellis]

assuming you're using vortex, have you run through all the preliminary troubleshooting steps with it? like hardlink deployment, toggling the darktide mods batch script, etc etc

[novel blaze]

yea I've tried all the fixes and I don't use vortex

idk why I have this issue with error code 2001 and 2014 so much

[pine trellis]

ok gotcha, I'll swap up the builds and see how it goes

[pine trellis]

hmm in that case I'm lost, sorry 😦

[vocal nacelle]

Thats a connection problem , i usually switch to mobile data when that happen

[novel blaze]

does anyone have a modlist that works fine for them?

[vocal nacelle]

or try vpn or something

[novel blaze]

I've heard about that but how is it possible mobile data would make it better?

my hotspot is way worse

than my wifi

[pine trellis]

been using ashax's nexus collection for a couple weeks, worked fine for me after I disabled super flashlight and weapon customization

scoreboard mod can also be a bit weird for me too but ymmv

[vocal nacelle]

Plug it on your computer and use usb tethering

[twilit sundial]

is there any modding chats that I could seek for help?

[shadow skiff]

Try the modding server in community or so.

[twilit sundial]

Thank you!

[dark vine]

Sorry if this has been talked about a lot before, has anyone figured out a solution to the nvidia crashes? I tried rolling back the drivers and that didn’t work

[vocal nacelle]

have you tried the worker thread solution?

[dark vine]

No I haven’t heard of it, is there a link to it?

[kindred inlet]

in the game's launcher set worker threads to 1

game will probably run like dogshit though so I have no idea how that's a real solution. maybe you can increase worker threads from there until it breaks again

[dark vine]

Ohhh okay, I’ll give it a try and just keep repeating. I think I have it set on 13 right now

[shadow skiff]

Set to real cores +/-1.

To test.

AMD usually is 2x real cores from threading or so.

[ornate fossil]

I thought theres a sick soundtrack when u play. I dont hear any. How do u turn it on

[kindred inlet]

certain events in-game make it play

[ornate fossil]

Oh that sucks

perhaps. you could see it as that the game has a dynamic soundtrack and it's more reserved when nothing happens

[vocal nacelle]

Yes it does but it is not used that much often besides twitch drops and warhammer+ stuff

[keen flume]

Curio checking? I really dont know of it

First time hearing it

[restive tartan]

yea u can check the shop rotation

not just curio i believe

[molten bough]

Idk where to ask here but is the arbiter class not free

[keen oracle]

No, it's paid dlc

[molten bough]

bru

[keen oracle]

Beats one shop item

[nocturne mica]

The fact that they keep saying FREE UPDATE to refer to the upcoming update that will be happening alongside the Arbites DLC launch is really annoying

[keen flume]

They becoming greedy after two years and half of free content though

[nocturne mica]

Why keep saying Free update? You planning to charge us money for the regular updates sometime in the future?

[little coyote]

the class is paid, the other stuff in the update is not

[hidden grove]

is this additive or multiplicative?

[keen flume]

Imagine having to lock a choose your difficulty on any mission basic feature locked in a DLC

[little coyote]

well about that

[keen flume]

Well that one was a new difficulty

[zealous dome]

Additive

At 0 stacks your melee kill replenishes 5%

At 1 stack, 5,75%

Anyways it stacks up to 120%

Which should be 11% tg replenished on melee kill

[dawn mortar]

what are considered elites and what are considered specialists?

[little coyote]

Elites:
Mauler
Crusher
All Gunners
Bulwark
Reaper
Both Ragers

Specialists:
Both Flamers
Both Grenadiers
Trapper
Doggo
Sniper
Mutant

I maybe forgot something

[dawn mortar]

Thankyou!!!

unyielding are monstorosities?

[vocal nacelle]

elites : deal huge damage
special : do funny stuff

[keen oracle]

And Bulwarks + Reapers

[little coyote]

Unyielding encompasses more than just them, but they're just the Reaper and Bulwark where he isn't armoured

you can test around in the psykhanium and hit the enemies there and it'll display what body type that area is where you hit them

[fickle ether]

[golden niche]

after installing the new update my game runs worse all of a sudden

i'm on the same nvidia driver (it's up to date) as before this darktide update, but now i get like 30-40 frames in missions

and all of my settings have stayed the same too

[little coyote]

current nvidia drivers are fucked for some people, might be anything really

not just in darktide

[polar forum]

updating drivers was your first mistake

[golden niche]

this doesn't make sense tho because before this current darktide update my game was fine

new darktide update and now my game is geeking out

[polar forum]

nah nvidia drivers have known to been a cluster for months now

you just don't know when the problem is going to happen

[little coyote]

it might be something like ray tracing getting enabled automatically

[golden niche]

i checked that it isn't

my settings have been exactly the same

[timber mesa]

is it possible to complete class penances as a different class? like ogryn completing a veteran challenge or do i have to be a veteran

[steel tulip]

You have to be the class to do a class specific challenge

[timber mesa]

thanks

[void forge]

Last I checked you can complete going out with a bang as vet with plasma. Maybe they fixed it though

[modest marten]

which ones the good combat blade? MK3 or MK6?

[clear plume]

both are good

[modest marten]

then it depends on what you wanna do with them right?

what does each other do compared to the other?

[clear plume]

mk6 has easier time horde clearing with the heavy spam

mk3 has heavy single target

[modest marten]

allright. thx for the explanation

[tropic palm]

hey i'm coming back after a huge break. how do i dismantle a weapon to learn its perks?

[polar forum]

sacrifice option with hardon

but keep in mind that if you sacrifice a different weapon, you only get 1/5th of the mastery xp you would've otherwise gotten

so essentially, you want to sacrifice the weapon you're leveling

[tropic palm]

thanks i think i worded it wrong how do i aquire the "blessings" from weapons

[polar forum]

oh it's just from leveling weapons by sacrifice or playing with them

you get rewarded points

that you can then spend on blessings

[tropic palm]

i see now. thanks a bunch

[polar forum]

it seems confusing at first but basically boils down to dismantle weapons to power level, or just play the weapon and you unlock shit

[bitter oyster]

do both

play mission, sacrifice weapon reward to weapon, more progress more quickly

[ashen cedar]

Just started Is playing the nightmares and visions update worth it or should I wait until June 23rd so I dont get burnt out

[vocal nacelle]

i dont think that matters

[ashen cedar]

Okay was just checking since I saw 23rd had a update for the new players in terms of a campaign

[graceful raptor]

on 23rd there will be a

a uhhhh

better campaign plot experiens

good better gooderer

so if can - its better to wait

[graceful raptor]

read

[ashen cedar]

Ah okay thank you for that explanation

[vocal nacelle]

unless you rush through the content , there's plenty stuff to do

[dawn mortar]

does this mean all guns or just specialists and eltes?

[clear plume]

dreg and scab gunners

and reapers

*elite gunners

[dawn mortar]

Not normal mobs?

[clear plume]

no

[graceful raptor]

normal sized shooters will still bite chunks out of you

[normal sable]

What's the difference between Impact and Power?

[clear plume]

Impact is stagger and power is damage/cleave/stagger

[normal sable]

so power > impact

Yes

slide it down

[buoyant lily]

Try lowering your worker threads to your physical core count, sometimes -1 or +1. If that doesn't work, try rebuilding your shader cache. If that doesn't work, try reinstalling your drivers with DDU, Display Driver Uninstaller. Even if Darktide is the only problematic game. This game just does not appreciate good hardware.

Any tips for the penance Frenzied Killer (3)? I'm at 111/120 and it's been tough lately. Playing with randoms doesn't help because they either steal kill or don't care

[clear plume]

My 1st tip is not thinking about it

That's one of the penances you get naturally by pushing the difficulty

But if you really need it this instant, then try to do a solo run or mortis trails I've heard makes it easier

[fleet crest]

I have a mod where I can save expired missions within 24 hours. And if I wait long enough, no one should be able to join me and just bots. I guess it depends on the map and preferably has the Hi-Intensity modifier

[clear plume]

Try high intensity mercantile

Not shock troop since specials will kill the horses as well

Blow up the 1st brick wall but not the 2nd

Between the 2 walls has infinite spawns

[fleet crest]

Smelter Complex I heard is a great map at the end because of the amount of camping spots and the area is almost a straight line

[clear plume]

I've had friends who sat there for 30 minutes farming the infinite enemies

[fleet crest]

Oh I could try Mercantile. Forgot about the walls. That sounds like a good option

Just need to find the map with Hi-Inten, save it, wait for a while, and simply play without any players

[clear plume]

Uip

Yup

[fleet crest]

Pretty sure there’s a good camping spot too. If I do get it, thanks brother

this should help

[slow bough]

Oh nice ty

[void forge]

you can also try the "disable screen effects" mod

I used it to turn off high peril and low health effects

[supple helm]

Is there a mod that makes the flames of zealot immolation grenades and enemy incendiary grenades look more different? A couple hundred hours in and it's still one of those things that trip me up.

[clear plume]

@supple helm

[supple helm]

Saw that. Description on the mod page only says flamers and flame staffs.

No mention of grenades

Yup. After going through that mod's comments section, it's confirmed that it affects the weapon and staves only. No changes to the nades.

But I did find a helpful comment about a mod that does change the zealot immolation grenade's fire color. Posting the link here in case anyone else is looking for the same thing.

[chrome shale]

how can i start playing havoc? i've tried joining parties with the party finder, but i assume im getting denied since i have no havoc levels

[supple helm]

If you're low havoc level and don't have an impressive title/frame/etc, expect to get denied. Try joining a lower difficulty party or host your own.

[chrome shale]

figured that was why lmao

[fleet crest]

that's why I don't bother playing Havoc with randoms. It's so stupid. Can barely find a party that is within my HL

[chrome shale]

well im trying to play havoc for the first time

and i cannot get into any

tried hosting to no luck

[fleet crest]

basically the high havoc level ones, some of them are big time elitists. Had an Xbox player think they're elitist by calling me out on my playstyle as Zealot

literally they were so nit picky

[supple helm]

I would suggest getting the Auric Exemplar title first. I believe it requires 20 successful auric missions, which are hi-intensity heresy at minimum. That will prove to others and yourself that you can handle havoc.

[chrome shale]

it's kind of dumb that you have to have a party for this

[fleet crest]

agreed, I'd rather play with friends for that mode

[supple helm]

Havoc is extremely sweaty and elitist by design

[fleet crest]

I tried playing for a few games, then when I realized getting people to join my party or even attempting to join one was a big no-no from me

[chrome shale]

it's 10 consecutive

which i've gotten consistently not great teammates in auric so idk

[supple helm]

Well, that's just part of the deal. It's to show you can consistently handle at least high-intensity heresy under suboptimal conditions. And trust me, you'll need that skill for havoc.

[chrome shale]

i've been playing pretty well in auric maelstrom and my build is pretty solid i'd say

how much of a jump are the havoc assignments in difficulty?

[supple helm]

Great. Just get that title and put it on.

Havoc level 25 feels like high intensity shock troop gauntlet damnation

Imagine popping out of an airlock to 5 crushers and 2 bosses

[chrome shale]

i've been pretty content with voice of command vet and running these weapons

[chrome shale]

i don't have issues with crushers at all honestly

for some reason it's ragers of all things that i go down the most to

lmao

[supple helm]

Ok great. Go get that auric exemplar title champ

[chrome shale]

oh yeah one more question

[chrome shale]

Is Auric Maelstrom really a huge jump up from Auric? I'm not feeling much difference lol

I might just try for ASS

Either I am goated or it's just not a huge difference

[supple helm]

Don't quote me on this but I think a lot of elitist players look down on ASS because you used to be able to cheese that title

[fleet crest]

This Frenzied Killer (3) penance has been taking a toll on me mentally

I tried every suggestion and nothing works

[supple helm]

Yeah some of the penances are just dumb bs

[fleet crest]

randoms love to ruin my chance

it's been almost 2 weeks I'm trying to go for this

[supple helm]

I just decided I won't even try going above 4500-ish penance score. Once I get "redeemed" and unlock the cool-looking masks to match that blue-and-white armor set, I'm done

[fleet crest]

lucky you

[supple helm]

It's like that time Alexander the Great met Diogenes:

"Don't you know who I am? I conquered the world."

"Well, I have conquered my desire to conquer the world."

[fleet crest]

I've tried doing it solo with bots, nothing

I've tried even good maps and none of the hordes were even big on Hi-Inten

[supple helm]

Instead of conquering the penances, I conquered my desire to conquer the penances lol

[chrome shale]

on overwatch :(

[supple helm]

voice of command with overshield, then just lock in. actually got that penance by just playing normally
damage to toughness doesn't count as taking melee damage. as long as you don't take health damage from enemy melee, you're good

[vocal nacelle]

list your own havoc mission

you can get few people join you (cuz 50 havoc penance )

[lone adder]

Play on malice and spam VoC as much as you can. It's not too bad especially on malice

[dark vine]

I think I’ve fixed the nvidia crashes

[ionic moth]

It depends which maelstrom it is, some are neat and buff you and some are quite difficult or require a more specialized build, the latter being the melee/only as an example

[kindred inlet]

go on.........

[vocal nacelle]

I-II is easy

Try 3 veg

[kindred inlet]

try 3 veggies

[dark vine]

Gotta go to nvidia download an older driver, I did 566.36 use that if you have 40 or below series, download a program called DDU, turn off any internet connection, run pc in safe mode, start DDU to remove the current driver, and click on the new driver you just downloaded for nvidia to install it. Turn wifi back on and reboot

I ran a couple matches to test it because it would crash every couple minutes or so but I didn’t have a single one

[mental sleet]

Hello there, I was wondering if I could get some help doing the Shocking Stuff Penance

[kindred inlet]

i see. well, given that it's a problem caused by the new drivers i suppose that's an obvious solution

[dark vine]

I’m just glad it worked, because even rolling back the drivers or changing the worker threads did nothing for me

[kindred inlet]

makes sense then

[shadow skiff]

Well, that's manually rolling back.

It's a last resort. Why I said to those to try either around feb or older. Or research up the last most stable for their card.

[exotic crag]

Does anyone know why when I try to install mods the filter “mod order list” isn’t showing up so I can’t use any mods 😦

[tired valve]

Can someone help me with the challenge mortis - 25 min

[graceful raptor]

iirc you need to put it there manually

check guides

its just 1 bat file, should be easy

[restive pollen]

with weapon masteries, the perks im putting points into, those just unlock them to be available for crafting, they arent just always active, right?

[keen oracle]

Yes

[craggy minnow]

Yeah you only get 2 active perks and 2 active blessings per weapon

The ones listed on the weapon card as im sure you'd guess

[restive pollen]

thank. and the challenge outfits, in particular the one that says "do 50 havoc missions", is that account wide or per character? like if i do 50 on my zealot, will that unlock the outfit on my psyker as well, or does the psyker have to do the 50?

[fickle ether]

Account wide

[keen flume]

Account wide

Would be terrible if it was class tied

[velvet quiver]

I need to know (because everyone keeps saying different things and I have no idea now) is the Zealot Crusher a finness weapon or not? Does it benefit from crit or nah? I was lead to believe it's the CC version of the hammer. The hammer is for dps #bonk# and the Crusher just tosses everyone around like they're pop corn.

[clear plume]

The cusher push attack has really high finesse

Its both a crit/non crit weapon

It's so well designed that it works perfectly fine with either setup

I mainly say it's a crit weapon since crit setup is zealots best tree

[clear plume]

Thammer and crusher are no where near the same

Thammer is funny 1 tap, while crusher has actually move sets, special for stagger, good finesse with push attack

[broken raft]

Even of only sorta built for it, its a 2-4tap

Which is nice

A shame in mixed hordes though

[nocturne oracle]

anyone have an idea of what the best kinda weapon to use for "20 Consecutive Headshots" is?

im thinking a shotgun but idk

[fickle ether]

Psyker Brain Burst they count towards it

[nocturne oracle]

what

[fickle ether]

Just kill 20 fodder and your done

[nocturne oracle]

i dont even have to aim

[fickle ether]

Yep

[nocturne oracle]

https://tenor.com/view/this-fucking-sucks-crying-girl-tears-of-joy-clapping-danny-devito-gif-12766761978490409957

ty

did you lie to me?

[shadow skiff]

They aren't lying. I did it in a solo mortis. You need 20 consecutive headpops. Using melee or staff instantly fails if you don't strike heads only.

[nocturne oracle]

ok nvm i did get it

i think i mightve gotten a couple burn kills by mistake

[shadow skiff]

Ah yeah. Have to remove those before trying.

[storm glen]

Is Melks store/weeklies/currency actually used anyomore? Ive been collecting the currency since launch and im at 195k and ive basically never spent it? Do any of you buy the stuff he sells?

[zealous dome]

Mainly gambling for curios

[storm glen]

https://tenor.com/view/kratos-ares-destroy-my-enemies-and-my-life-is-yours-gif-7965707800203237625

Fatshark, put some cosmetics in his store and my life is yours!

[nocturne oracle]

it kinda became redundant after weaponcrafting was introduced

[stoic locust]

You can clean him out and discard all of it for like 500 diamantine

[nocturne oracle]

is that a lot?..

cleaning out melks stock and dismantling doesn't seem worth to me unless u have like a million

[stoic locust]

Or you're particularly desperate

There is a reason I know how much it is worth

[vocal nacelle]

Quick curio on new class next month

[chrome shale]

best dump stat for combat blade? mobility, right?

[clear plume]

mob

[peak lake]

anyone willing to help with the <25min clear of malice mortis trial penance

[graceful raptor]

I somehow managed to do it on damnation without really trying, and with timer on 26 mins

For help better try vox channels tho

[willow field]

What best tactics to get achievement "overwatch"

[shadow skiff]

Beg 3 ppl to 3 man while you hang at the start and stay dead.

[willow field]

Impossible other ways?

[shadow skiff]

It's a guaranteed penance. Otherwise, for legit, go shout and ask ppl to gold toughness spam.

Then play at the top of your ability.

[shadow skiff]

You can get it legit, but needs skill so is a git gud situation.

Or is like, you play too much true solo legends+ on Vermintide 2.

Since GF got it at lvl 3.

[willow field]

I only brought darktide

Maybe git gud first try

[shadow skiff]

Basically what GF did by accident.

But yeah, the easiest is still asking ppl for a carry for it.

[willow field]

Will try first

[willow field]

Lack of friends only became a problem when it's about games

[civic kindle]

I did it on the train mission, easier since it's pretty short... playing very safely with VoC, mostly avoiding dangerous fights (stayed inside dealing with isolated enemies when we needed to fetch the power cells, and never engaged the boss directly at the end but instead stayed closer to the door to the last room, killing the ads coming from the nearby manhole)

got hit in melee once while I had golden toughness and once without at the very end, and got grabbed by a mutie too (also with gold toughness)

[keen oracle]

Low Int Malice, duelling sword, double barrel, kraks, voc. EZ

[willow field]

Decreased health?

[civic kindle]

of course not, wouldn't have got the penance othewise

[willow field]

Ah well I'm trying

[steep pine]

Is every boss (besides human bosses) unyielding?

[clear plume]

Correct

If you want I have pictures with armor classes in my guide

I think I put enemies on the 3 or 4th page

[sand ledge]

are perks Or blessings the ones that stck?

[fleet crest]

A couple of days later after talking to you, I got it first try for today! Would show a screenshot, but I can't for some reason. The tip paid off, but instead, I was camping near the black gate where so many enemies were climbing up the gate.

The key for me was to make a cheesy build with the relic blade and flamer, keep swinging away and switching the flamer

And this was on Hi-Intensity, Damnation, Auric Maelstrom

[clear plume]

Nice job

and you'll need red name to send pics

[fleet crest]

Ah I see. Also, I did it by myself with bots. And not breaching the 2nd wall down really helped me

[clear plume]

yup

its infinite horde until you break the 2nd wall

[fleet crest]

after getting it, I'd say better than Smelter Complex because Mercantile will give you the hordes almost immediately after the 1st wall

[stray crane]

does anybody know a good video for noobs i have been looking online and most videos explain the obvious or are too hard to understand

[serene cape]

can someone teach me what it means to have a "good roll" on a weapon, like for example on these 2 weapons
both are white rarity with a 180 total power. for the damage stat, weapon A has 50/80 while weapon B has 40/80

does it mean that they are just both equal since their max is 80?

[fickle ether]

So the number on the left is the weapons current stat modifier % while the one on the right is what it can be empowered to i.e it's future max stat modifier %. Both in the end have the same max stat so once you empower your weapon to 500 they end up being the same stat % but untill then the 50/80 is your better pick.

Also would depend if the other stats are how you want them before you empower said weapon but we can just skip that part in this example.

[supple helm]

To add onto the previous person - the stats on a weapon is the only thing that determines whether it is a "good roll". Rarity, perks, power level, and blessings can all be upgraded/swapped at Hadron. Marks can be changed freely once you unlock them through mastery. The weapon's stats is the only thing you can't change.

[alpine trench]

Shakes servitor-cane* back in my day you went bankrupt trying to get a god roll and you dealt with it!

[vocal nacelle]

What kinda explanation you want

[nocturne oracle]

do I lose Shred's crit chance buff if I alternate between heavies and lights?

like the way it's worded i assume i only get the buff if i do light spam or heavy spam

[vocal nacelle]

No

Shred have timer

[idle kite]

Does Darktide on PS5 support Mouse and keyboard? It doesnt feel good with a controller imo

[shadow skiff]

Nope, only Xbox.

[willow field]

I did thank you! Very much appreciated

[quartz epoch]

It feels way better if you have back paddle on your controller

[buoyant notch]

can someone help me with the Malleus Monstronum penance🙏
