Looking at getting my first curios and I have no idea what +1 Wound does, is this good?

[little coyote]

wounds are the amount to which your health bar is split

each wound increases the times you can be knocked down without dying basically

or how much corruption you can withstand without dying when knocked down

[edgy coral]

So pretty good? It's either +1 wound and +7.5% toughness regeneration, or +14% max health

[little coyote]

it really comes down to preference and class, most human classes will benefit from 1 extra wound

[zealous dome]

It's uh not good once you get better at the game

[edgy coral]

I'm using a lvl 15 Ogryn for this Curios, so go health for free health buff?

[zealous dome]

Toughness and health curios will usually help you survive more than a wound curio

[keen oracle]

Ogryns typically run all toughness, since they have plenty of health + stam

[zealous dome]

No problem using wounds when you're learning, but you should definitely swap after you get better

[edgy coral]

I grabbed the health one and swapped a curios reward perk for EXP, since I want mah talent points

I think it'll help, since I usually don't run low on toughness

[vocal nacelle]

Wait till you play high diff gonna need toughness

[vocal nacelle]

Ogryn already have 3 base wound, more than that is martydom ogryn

[supple helm]

Maybe I'll get flamed for this, but I believe using wounds relics (when you're not a martyrdom zealot) is building for failure. You shouldn't build for failure. Triple up on toughness relics. Then if you do well, you'll barely get a scratch. And if you do badly, you'll die fast. Either way, it's good feedback - either keep doing what you're doing, or learn from your mistakes.

[edgy coral]

I have 4, but I took off the curios, so IDK how i got the extra

[vocal nacelle]

Lower difficulty have more wounds

Training wheels

[edgy coral]

ah

[lime edge]

I second this. Extra wounds If youre not martyrdom zealot is a waste of talentpoints/curios. Toughness toughness toughness is the name of the game. That and stamina management.

[edgy coral]

I bought a replacement that does more toughness, then put +10% EXP and +5% Toughness perks on it

[supple helm]

Look out for power level 410+ curios. They should give 17% toughness, the maximum roll possible.

[edgy coral]

Will do

[keen oracle]

One generic shooter removing 1/3rd of your toughness

[onyx jasper]

At the end of a missions timer, like, on the mission select, does it refresh and become a different mission? Or is the ONLY thing that changes, the modifiers?

[restive pollen]

is it better to consecrate a new weapon, or empower a higher tier one? like if i ahve a 460 green and a 410 orange, is it better to bring the 460 to orange, or the 410 to 460?

[turbid zealot]

As long as your weapon has the correct stats, you need to consecrate in order to empower it fully

So it depends on your weapons in question

If your green has better stats, consecrate it, if your orange has better stats, empower it

Either way you'll recoup your losses quickly

[restive pollen]

Oh shit, they drop with different stats? I thought that was determined either by weapon mark or by the perk/blessing I put on it

[turbid zealot]

Stat rolls are random, yes, each one capping at 80%. If you check your weapon you'll notice two numbers over each stat: The current value on the left and the potential value on the right. Consecrating weapons boosts rarity, increasing perk and blessing slots, and Empowering boosts your stats to their max potential cap

One Stat, called the dump stat, will always cap at 60%, though

[clear plume]

Stats on weapons add up to 380

So that's is 4 80s

And 1 60

The 60 is called a dump stat

[restive pollen]

oh wow, okay thanks, that changes how im looking at these a lot then. so i could potentially, if insanely lucky, get something that has 80 in each?

[clear plume]

The stat you don't need as much as the others

[restive pollen]

oh okay, cool cool. thanks then, will def be paying more attention to that now

[turbid zealot]

Send a screenshot of your current weapons if you can, please

[restive pollen]

https://imgur.com/a/54BbEE3
the knife and crusher have been what ive been using mainly, and the two heavy swords were what i was initially comparing

[turbid zealot]

Alrighty, so, for example: If you empower your crusher to the max, the damage will cap at 76%. Ideally you want a roll with a potential of 80% for everything but Defenses

For the Heavy Sword, the dump stat is also Defenses

Stuff like Power Output, Penetration, and First Target all affect how much damage you do, while Crowd Control and Cleave affect how many enemies you actually hit with your attacks

Mobility is another common dump stat

If you go to Brunt's Armory stall you'll be able to roll as often as you want btw, you don't need to rely on mission drops if that's what you've been doing

[heady pulsar]

Defences, any weapon that has that, instant dump stat. Useless outside edge cases.

[restive pollen]

oh okay sick sick, thats good to know. yeah i have a ton of the ordo currency, finally found a use, rolling alll of these lol. thanks a ton

[zealous dome]

Changes everything

[onyx jasper]

Like completely different missions?

[keen flume]

Yes

[keen flume]

It rotates to a different mission with randomly selected difficulty and modifier

Though on June 23rd update, the rotated missions will let us pick the difficulty ourselves instead randomly

[turbid zealot]

Is it June 23rd yet

[sage crane]

So anyone can tell me how Havoc ranking system works? My current assignement havoc rank is 24, but I did a havoc 40 with some randoms couple days ago. Do I have to wait till next week for it to update my Assignement to havoc 40? thx

[turbid zealot]

Yes

You'll note the "highest level completed" on the right of your screen

That'll be your new assignment rank next week

[fickle ether]

It changed you stay your current rank on reset but your reward chest is based off the highest you've beaten

[clear plume]

They changed that

You don't get boosted anymore

When you win, you go up 1

Lose 3 go down 1

[sage crane]

oh so you can't do 1 havoc 40 and get to 40 anymore? that sucks

[clear plume]

If you play a rank lower then your current one you don't go down

[sage crane]

now you have to grind?

it's just so hard to find a full party

[clear plume]

Yes

But there are jumps

[sage crane]

so basically if you do a Haoc assignment of at least 5 ranks higher than your current one and win, u'll get to rank up 2 ranks

[clear plume]

Yes

[sage crane]

i saw some ppl playing Smoke Vet

is smoke really h elp in havoc?

does*

[clear plume]

Yup

its a psyker bubble that has more uptime since vet regnes nades so fast

funny that

I made a video

4 vets all smokes

havoc 40

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhrV7dDOmqo

[sage crane]

nice

gonna try that out

so you pretty much throw the Smoke on where u're fighting? or in front?

[clear plume]

where you are going to fight

[untold bridge]

Just started playing as a shouty. What other ranged+melee combinations are great for Zealot other than the flamer+toothpick/knife

I was thinking maybe a vraks braced autogun

[zealous dome]

https://tenor.com/view/you-don't-invincible-omni-man-jk-simmons-that's-the-neat-thing-gif-4390372980992221432

Zealot will melee basically everything

If your melee can't handle something in specific, then ranged should deal

IE

Heavy Swords + Bolter/Zarona

Hammer/Knife/Dueling Sword + Flamer/Agripina Braced Autogun

Relic Blade/Evis15/Crusher are generalist, they can do everything

Often lacking on mobility department, so pair with Shedder Auto Pistol/Laspistol

[clear plume]

from my guide

[zealous dome]

Oh hey

Would you look at that

[mossy condor]

General is moving too fast... I haven't played in months. I went to update my mods and now the game won't load and I don't know what to do.

[clear plume]

Does it launch without mods?

Did you verify files through steam?

[mossy condor]

Yes

[mossy condor]

How do I do that?

[clear plume]

right click

properities

installed files

verify integrity of game files

[mossy condor]

Alright, I will do that. Thank you. I'm running verify files on the launcher now

[clear plume]

would not recomment

takes forever

[mossy condor]

Ok

[clear plume]

and it'll just tell you to do it through steam if it finds anything

you can alt f4 out of that

[mossy condor]

No issues

[clear plume]

toggle mods again and launch game

when does it stop working

@clear plume Turns out I just needed to update the mod launcher and now it works

[soft pollen]

Hello, I have a quick question. Is it possible to redistribute the percentages of weapons with crafting? For example if the max mobility is 65% and the max damage is 75%, can I somehow change them to 60% mobility (my dump stat) and 80% damage? Or do I have to wait until I buy/find a perfect 80/80/80/80/60? Thanks

[clear plume]

max stats cant be changed

[soft pollen]

Thank you

Once I find a weapon with the perfect 80/60 combination, should I consecrate or empower first? Also, should I wait until I'm lvl 30 and with mastery at 20 before doing any crafting?

[clear plume]

whatever order you want

[soft pollen]

👍

[soft pollen]

Apologies in advance for keeping asking questions.
What exactly does the "versatile" trait actually do? I do understand that it means the weapon is a solid all-rounder, but I don't know in practical terms what that actually is. For example, what would the difference be between a versatile/high capacity gun and a precise/high capacity one? (Assuming all other stats were virtually the same). I know what "precise" is, so I'm assuming that weapon will be more accurate when shooting after aiming. But the versatile trait doesn't really add much info

[vocal nacelle]

You can inspect the weapon

It will tell you

[soft pollen]

It doesn't. After inspecting all it says is that the weapon is a good all rounder but less specialized than others. It doesn't even sound like a trait, more like the absence of a trait.

[supple helm]

Those "traits" are just labels that (at least try to) briefly describe how the weapon performs. They don't mean much tbh.

I recommend going into the psykanium and trying the weapon/marks out yourself

[wide hound]

is there a way to fast reload bolter

[stoic locust]

None of those do anything

Its just a description

[vocal nacelle]

What weapon is this?

[vocal nacelle]

Vet reload talent or zealot throwing knife

still slow tho

[vernal plaza]

Sprint cancel the stage reload

Dont know how good for boltet tho

[vocal nacelle]

It kinda doesn't work on bolter

[vernal plaza]

I dont use bolter enough to know
Inb4 infinitely stuffing rumbler with ammo

[smoky ember]

traits don’t really mean much sadly

some of them are contradictory to how the weapon actually performs (mk3 evis)

[kindred inlet]

it's pretty arbitrary and at best can be used within a weapon's mark family to get some sort of idea of what kinda weapon it'll go for

[onyx path]

Hey all
Do i have to keep buying a wep for the perfect 80% on all stats? Or that will never happen and 1 stat will always be lower

[supple helm]

Max total stats are capped at 380%, meaning you'll never have a weapon with full 80% in all stats

Most endgame players like to pick one "dump stat" and try to find a copy of that weapon with 60% in said dump stat. The exact dump stat varies by weapon and by player

[onyx path]

I see thank you

[jovial thicket]

Hey I’ve seen videos of sainted weapons in dark tide how do u get those? Can’t seem to figure it out lol

[vocal nacelle]

[jovial thicket]

Oh shit ok

I was so confused haha thank yall

[turbid escarp]

Is there a reason two penances are private games only?

[clear plume]

Doing them normally could count as ruining the game for others

If you see a low HP zealot run to the end of the mission it's called speedrunning

[fleet crest]

I've seen some players wear some fancy suit. Is that a mod or an actual in-game clothing?

[clear plume]

Could be coin shop or real life money shop

[turbid escarp]

Ok that explains the zealot what about the pysker one

It's just one you will complete as you play wouldn't you? It's called malleus monstronum

[lime idol]

Purposefully triggering a daemonhost so they could complete their boss damage penance

[turbid escarp]

Does brain burst not affect the others?

I'm just about done with veteran so I was looking at the other classes

[zealous dome]

The brain burst one was a higher value required before

And you couldn't reach that value because BB dps isn't that great

Your team would often damage the boss enough for you to miss the target value

[turbid escarp]

Ok sorry about all the questions I'm trying to figure out what class to work on next

[fleet crest]

Ah you're right. It's an actual in-game clothing from the cosmetic shop. I thought it's just me going crazy but good to know

[willow field]

There never 100% quality on guns?

Of dmg and so on

[clear plume]

No

Max stat is 80

And weapons total stats can only add up to 380

So 4 80s, 1 60

[willow field]

Eh😔

There's no gambling

[kindred inlet]

the real gambling is for curios

[true gust]

I spent so many damn melk tokens on curios and i got absolutely Zip, so i don't recommend going that route

Like 30k tokens on that shit, trying to get some 17% toughness for my psyker

[keen flume]

what 800 hours of playtime does to a man and still only has two 17% on one class

It sure is gonna be fun when Arbites drops, not a single 17% day 1

[true gust]

at least my zealot has a full array...
if they ever make curios account bound instead of character bound, then I'll even have 3 21% health curios

1 on my ogryn, 2 on my vet 💀

[shadow skiff]

If they can be transferred... +9 stam Arbites insta.

[true gust]

It'd be awesome QoL, but the moment they do that then everyone'll be asking for cross account weapons too

which would Also be awesome QoL

[shadow skiff]

So now I have 6 shared bistols.

[fleet crest]

I knew it was so sketchy to even go for that so glad I didn’t waste my time

[true gust]

Let my experiences be a lesson to all

When Sire Melk offers you a snack from below his counter, don't take it!

[severe loom]

when do you have havoc rewards

[warped basin]

what counts as triggering perils of the warp? trying to do the penance and noticed that not every 100% peril counts as a trigger

[vocal nacelle]

tomorrow

[vocal nacelle]

just spam your warp attack when you reach 100% to explode

assail, staff

[shadow skiff]

When your char puts their hands to their face and you lose the ability to do anything but walk and (ult) vent.

[warped basin]

thought it was that, thanks
so I need to stay at 100% for it to count towards the penance, probably gonna finally look into modding to see the exact timer

[keen flume]

Yeah stay at 100% have your character losing control, hands on their face before exploding and use your venting shriek

The ability can prevent and stop from exploding

[slate geyser]

Does the special action of the ogryn bully club, the "bitchslap" move count as a push?

[fallow grove]

No. It counts as a special attack, that staggers.

[slate geyser]

ty

[modern bluff]

Is anyone else getting engine error crash with amd and GPU driver crash as well DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

[fallow grove]

Yes. For me, if I don't use a lot of alt tab, I rarely ever get it. When I alt tab, I guaranteed will get it, eventually.

[vocal nacelle]

should count as heavy

[civic kindle]

is there an easier way to get Dodge This currently than going to Mortis Trials with a BB psyker and pray for Infectious Headache?

[shadow skiff]

Last I remembered, Infectious headache won't work for it. it won't break the penance, but won't give credit to it either.

[civic kindle]

😦

[soft pollen]

For extra survivability should I get curios with health or toughness? I have many passive talents that augment my toughness so I guess they would work even better with toughness curios, but extra health also seems like a no brainer and I can't decide.

[fickle ether]

Depends on class and build your running. For ogryn you want to run 3 toughness as they have insane ways to gain toughness plus already have a very large hp pool that doesn't need more. For vet with a VoC build 3 toughness is a option since every shout gives you back full toughness +50 golden. Zealot tends to be 2 toughness and 1 health unless you need a stm curio then I tend to drop the health curio for one. Pysker I've found 2 toughness and 1 stm works for me since I run a dueling sword as the melee. Otherwise 2 toughness and 1 health should be fine. Or if you tend to overload your peril you might want to bring a extra wound until you find yourself not blowing up as much.

[restive pollen]

how do I see my progress in the event?

[clear plume]

hold tab and cycle with E

unsure about console

[restive pollen]

oh sick, thank!

and I can't increase the rating of a curio, right? just have to hope one drops at 500

[clear plume]

curio rating only goes up to 430 iirc

[restive pollen]

ah alright, i cant increase that myself though, right? not seeing anything at crafting showing that, but im perpetually blind so could be missing something

[clear plume]

you can not increase it

[coral steeple]

Are there dimishing returns on the 20% resistance traits on curios?

[fickle ether]

Yes think if your running 3 of the same resistance it caps out around 50% DR

[fickle zinc]

how to do you counter the melee dudes with the 2 saws or blades whatever that keep on attacking very fast and dont stagger?

[fallow grove]

Depending on what your setup is. You can either spam backwards dodges and shoot them/other ranged tools. Or you can use F ability (depending on your ability). Or you can try and time side dodges.

I mostly dodge backwards and shoot 'em. Or dodge backwards, move forward with charged attack, rinse repeat.

[vocal nacelle]

Block and dodge

[ionic moth]

I've been getting that too

It eventually spread to anything I played

I had to factory reset

[soft pollen]

Can someone please explain to me what Maelstrom and auric missions are? Thanks.

[fickle ether]

Auric always has a high intensity modifier same for auric maelstrom

[soft pollen]

So you can have a non auric Maelstrom mission and an auric non Maelstrom one?

[fickle ether]

Your bricking my brain wdym?

[soft pollen]

My bad, let me rephrase. Is there any difference between a normal Maelstrom mission and a Auric Maelstrom, other than the fact that normal Maelstrom can have intensity below 5 and Auric Maelstrom will always be 5?

[vocal nacelle]

Different AI director aggression

[soft pollen]

So a lvl 5 Auric Maelstrom will always be harder than a normal Maelstrom lvl5, gotcha.

[smoky ember]

block, dodge backwards, shoot them

some weapons can stagger them

[fickle zinc]

it just feels like its just about doing a bunch of damage like theres no proper way to do it. lik the carger dude you dodge and avoid him but the melee dudes its just annoying. What bout ogryn with the sheidlds i get owned by those too

[vocal nacelle]

need to bait them for weapon swing and hit them

will open up the shield

[kindred inlet]

bulwarks are basically the strongest (non-boss, non-disabler) enemy in the game especially if there are multiple of them

[vocal nacelle]

or you can use nade

ask psyker with trauma staff , smite, BB , surge

[severe loom]

how do you increase havoc assignment rank? is it like you have to do missions your own or higher than your own?

[fickle ether]

Just beat a havoc mission that's higher than your own. You don't need to be the host in order to rank up.

[hoary vessel]

Is it a common opinion that the recent patch has railed the framerate

[keen oracle]

If you complete an Auric Mael, you can start at level 16 and skip those early levels.

Complete a mission higher than your own to level up, you can earn up to 3 levels per mission completion, if it's 3+ levels higher than your own

[tough jacinth]

Anyone else know how to get the "That the Best You've Got?" Penance?

Where you have to Dodge 500 Reaper Shots while sprinting.

Because I feel like I've done that in a game but it doesn't look like the progress has gone up

[stoic locust]

Best way to do it is run in circles around one

Play zealot with Swift Certainty so you don’t have to worry about stamina

[tough jacinth]

makes sense

[vocal nacelle]

you can do it with this

[stoic locust]

Oh that also works

[vocal nacelle]

braced auto vet

[stoic locust]

But it requires running 2 meme build parts instead of 1

[vocal nacelle]

atleast you are immune to gunners while sprinting

cue dogs & mutant chase

[stoic locust]

Or you could just

Slide spam

To close distance

[vocal nacelle]

also true

play normally

[lunar cipher]

Is there a way to farm Diamantine? I have a surplus of everything else just not Diamantine at all. It's kinda frustrating even

[vocal nacelle]

havoc

you can get from 2K - 23K Diamantine weekly

or you just run normal damnation and get 300 diamantine per mission (if you gather all)

[lunar cipher]

Oh well

Guess that's that then

[vocal nacelle]

i really recommend trying lower havoc its not that bad

[supple helm]

Too noob for damnation? At least try heresy. It's that magical difficulty level where you can no longer get away with mistakes and bad habits that you could get away with in malice and lower. Playing it makes you git gud, and you'll realize mentality is half the game. I went from grinding malice only to carrying hi-intensity damnation in less time than it took to level a new character to 30.

[lunar cipher]

It's not that I'm "too noob" I just have no one to play with

[supple helm]

Public matchmaking is right there

[lunar cipher]

South America servers are kinda... Cricket noises

[supple helm]

A large part of the difficulty also comes from the quality of your teammates. Malice with a bunch of idiots is infinitely more painful than damnation with an on-point team. And take a wild guess where all the good players are? They ain't farming malice, that's for sure.

[lunar cipher]

Found a cool guy who plays very well to play Havoc

We're on rank 5 now

Scratch that, 6

[warped basin]

is it not considered an issue that pressing Q doesn't register unless your hit/shoot animation is completely finished? I've only been playing this year but assuming this is in the game since release and it's fucking annoying that I can't swap to my melee quickly simply because the game won't let me almost a whole second after my lasgun's finished firing, resulting in shooting again, often taking unnecessary damage
the game just ignores the swap input but registers the attack input after it, what purpose does it serve

[lunar cipher]

I play with the revolver and sometimes I do the special attack to stagger an enemy and... The same happens as well

I try to switch and attack, I just fire another bullet

[little coyote]

Is it just me or is the Havoc ranking somewhat busted? We completed rank 27 yesterday, but we lost on the 28 rank run 3 times. Shouldn't I still start at rank 27 today? I was not the one hosting. Today I started at 25 for some reason

[shadow skiff]

Were you 27 assignment rank yesterday?

[little coyote]

it was the highest rank completed, I didn't host any

[shadow skiff]

Cos if you were 26 yesterday and dropped to 25 by the 3 losses.

[little coyote]

I was 24

in the picture

[shadow skiff]

Assignment rank=/=clearance.

[little coyote]

I am aware

[shadow skiff]

If you were 24, the win would have put you to 25.

Not 27.

They now limit the number of assignment lvl increase.

[little coyote]

we did 25, 26 and 27. Then we lost 28

[shadow skiff]

If the mission is same or up to +5 higher, you get a +1, if it's 6 to 9 lvls higher, you get a +2 and if it's 10+ higher, you get a +3.

I'm assuming you started at an even lower assignment lvl?

[little coyote]

I started at 24

[shadow skiff]

Cos you can seriously just do a 40 now and only be 27.

Yes, but it shows you at 24 AFTER a 27 is completed.

Assuming you lost the 28, it's normal you are 24 still. Even winning it will mean you are 25.

[little coyote]

Alright so this was new, last time we played Havocs it hadn't been implemented. Though it's kinda fucked that losing after a 3 win streak you basically lose all progress

[shadow skiff]

You shouldn't? If you lose 3 times, you get demoted once.

So if 24, you drop to 23.

[little coyote]

But so did I get punished for the loss at 28 or did it matter at all at my progression, would I have still only levelled up once if I played through three maps

[onyx jasper]

I dont understand how to even begin to understand the difference between these two weapons

[heady pulsar]

They have different movesets and damage profiles. Go to the shooting range and test them out yourself, use the one that feels better for you.

[buoyant notch]

What's the best class to do havoc on

I'm level 30 on all of them

[velvet tartan]

Whatever you are best with?

Silly question

[zealous dome]

Any non vet

3 times the effort for 33% of the impact

[buoyant notch]

i mean some classes are stronger than others

[keen flume]

It all comes down with the class knowledge and build

Most importantly your skill put into them

[clear plume]

Indeed

Right now ogryn and psyker take less skill to get the most results

But doesn't mean they are the easiest for every map, every challenge, for every player

[keen flume]

if you using light spam and boring meta builds

[heady pulsar]

not to mention team composition is important
if everyone's playing as the same thing you'll probably have a bad time

[onyx jasper]

Does melee attack speed affect how quickly you go into a heavy attack?

[keen flume]

Yes

[onyx jasper]

Do blessings on my ranged weapon affect me when im using my melee weapon?

[keen flume]

Depends what blessings
Some ranged weapon blessings can give buffs to melee for a small period of time

[onyx jasper]

like "gain 5% strength on close range kill for 5 seconds" on a shotgun, does that ONLY apply to kills while the shotgun is in hand?

[keen flume]

Oh yeah that only affects on your shotgun

[heady pulsar]

Rule of thumb, anything that applies brittleness will also aid your melee strikes because that's a debuff that gets applied to the enemy. It also helps any teammates' attacks against that enemy as well for the same reason.

[onyx jasper]

Im reading a reddit threat complaining about the game not having bots.. but i swear ive played with bots? am i misremembering?

The thread is only 2 months old

[clear plume]

Bots will always fill out a team

Sometimes it might bug and they might not spawn

But I've only seen that like once in 3k hours

[onyx jasper]

Does basically everyone (not on console) use mods?

Any time I see a clip of someone playing the game its modded

[clear plume]

I don't know the numbers but a lot of PC players use mods

For the Quality of Life

Mods are basically things the game should already have

Numberic UI to see teammate HP and ammo

Scoreboard (debatable)

[onyx jasper]

Any that you recommend as nearly "must have"?

[clear plume]

Numeric ui

[onyx jasper]

Where do people get their mods from? Nexus?

[clear plume]

Nexusmods

Yes

[onyx jasper]

Thanks!

Wait

I assume they're in compliance with ToS?

[clear plume]

All the mods on Nexus are okay to run

But if you have mod trouble fatshark can't do anything

But the only problem I've seen is mods not working after a major uodate

But they update soon after

So no trouble

And there is a modding server if you have any questions

[onyx jasper]

Awesome, will get a few QoL mods. thanks! Any mods that specifically help explain things? I hate that I can't compare two marks of a weapon easily lol

[clear plume]

Enchanced descriptions

Explains talents and blessings

Idk if there is a weapon compare mod

[true gust]

I'm a fan of the mod that just shows how many dodges you have left, very useful.
the other one i use just makes sure that your weapon switches when you press the switch button, gives it a buffer

[onyx jasper]

I thought you could dodge unlimited? It's just on a cd

[true gust]

There's a limit that's unique to each station

Weapon*

[onyx jasper]

ahh

Lemme guess, there's no way to tell in game

[clear plume]

Not in base game

[true gust]

Light weapons have more dodges, heavy weapons get less

[onyx jasper]

lmao fatshark cmon now

[clear plume]

Yup

[true gust]

But the dodge count is shown in the weapon stats page

[onyx jasper]

Is fatshark an america dev company or?

[true gust]

Sweden

[onyx jasper]

So it says dodge limit 4.00

But.. when does that refresh

[clear plume]

.74 sec

Of not dodging

[onyx jasper]

Is that a bse reset timer?

Base*

like everyone has that

[clear plume]

For every weapon and class

[true gust]

It's immutable

[zealous dome]

Everyone has that

[clear plume]

Besides 1 talent

[zealous dome]

Some classes can even reduce that

[clear plume]

Only 1

Nevermind

I forgot agile exists

But

Inoxerable judgement keystone on zealot reduces that timer

By like .15?

So it's around .6 sec on zealot with that keystone

[true gust]

It's not much, but it's noticable if you have the dodge count mod

Also important to note, your dodges don't automatically become garbage the moment you go into negative effective dodges. It decays until you reach the opposite of your max

still, good practice to not go into negatives

[heady pulsar]

There's only one mod I use, personally, but one that I think is an absolute must have. It's called "Psych Ward" and the only thing it does is, it lets you access the mission board, the shooting range, and the various vendors from the character select screen without having to load into the Mourningstar lobby. Mind you, the 2 things you can't do with it are joining the Mortis Trials and Havoc game modes, but then, those aren't that important especially if you're just starting out.

Without psych ward, you have to load into the Mourningstar after every single match, which may take a frustratingly long time. With it, you go back to the character select screen and you can just click quickplay again. This was a game changer when I first installed the mod, since I could just play match after match with very little loading times.

[upper yarrow]

how do I see what missions have the event skulls on them, I want more but I do not know how to identify which missions have them

[heady pulsar]

Theres the inquisitorial rosette on them and the modifier that goes with them

[clear plume]

Missions with

[upper yarrow]

got ya

I don't think I see any

[heady pulsar]

Or "Dark Rituals"there's usually a couple on the mission boards, on every difficulty.

[zealous dome]

Hexagons

Look on the board for the hexagons

[toxic dagger]

First time trying crafting - why does it say "Blessing is not available" for everything?

[fickle ether]

Blessings are tied to your weapon's mastery with every level up in said weapons mastery tending to give you blessing points. You use these blessings points to unlock the blessings you want on that weapon. Every iirc 5 blessing points spend unlocks the next tier of that weapons blessings.

[toxic dagger]

Yes, I've done that

Wow

Sorry

[fickle ether]

Nah allg

[toxic dagger]

Wrong Autogun

[fickle ether]

Be like that

[toxic dagger]

Thank you

[pallid lynx]

I know this probably isn't the channel for it, but I got a bit of an issue with the game and performance... AMD GPU.

CPU: Ryzen 9 5900x (running at 4.30Ghz) | GPU RX 7800XT. | 64GB of DDR4 running at 3533 (was worried about instability)|

[vocal nacelle]

#gameplay-help message try this

also try to slide down the worker thread on launcher

[pallid lynx]

yea about that I keep getting mixed info on that

some people say double the physical threads (threads the CPU has, so in my case it would be 22 because it's 24 cores) others say just the amount of physical cores, others say half the physical cores

[vocal nacelle]

Set it to middle or less

if you are crashing that mean current thread is wrong

[shadow skiff]

Number of physical cores +/- 1 is a safe bet.

[vernal plaza]

Physical cores
Also 25.5.1 driver is fuked, roll back to older driver or use 25.5.2 experimental

[pallid lynx]

well that would explain it

gonna have to dl 25.5.2

[pallid lynx]

and what do ya know, the 25.5.1 driver seemed to be a major cause of my fps issues cause I'M ACTUALLY GETTING A REASONABLE FRAMERATE.

[vernal plaza]

Enjoy your non slideshow fps

[south vessel]

how does the havoc on hand assignment work

is it just play with x different people? or x different hosts?

[vocal nacelle]

50 games not you hosting

[magic fox]

You guys got a list of story missions?
Like the Cathedrum etc

[onyx jasper]

Does stamina affect how long you can sprint? with one weapon i have 3 stamina, and another i have like, 10, but it doesnt feel like i sprint any longer or shorter

[shadow skiff]

Each weapon has their own stamina cost to sprint. Some have low stamina but also very low cost to sprint while some gives you a ton of bars but chew through them.

[onyx jasper]

So the actual amount of stamina bars doesnt matter? Is that only for pushbacks?

[shadow skiff]

More or less. Only extra stam from curios increases the time you can sprint, but still drains at a specific rate. You can check in weapon inspect.

So as a generic number example. If a weapon uses 1 stam per sec to sprint, if you had 2 bars, you can sprint for 2 secs. If you had 11 bars, you can sprint for 11 secs.

[onyx jasper]

Ahhh, gotchya, thank you!

What kind of content is coming with the Arbites class? just the class itself?

[shadow skiff]

If it's like VT2, class and maybe new shared weapons.

[onyx jasper]

Was development for post launch content way slower for darktide?

i feel like vermintide 2 got way more content post launch

[shadow skiff]

Seems that way but not exactly. Is just the bigger updates feel smaller than what they did/do for VT2. Unless you mean the clearly late premium classes lul.

[onyx jasper]

Hmm, im not totally sure how to explain what i mean. I just see that vermintide has a bunch of PAID DLCs that add maps and stuff but darktide hasnt gotten anything like that

Is it because those same style of updates were just free?

[shadow skiff]

Ah yeah, paid for by the cosmetic cash shop mostly.

[onyx jasper]

Oh Vermintide didnt have one?

[shadow skiff]

They did. But they were going for a diff style. The FOMO cashshop here rather than full catalogue.

[lime idol]

Nah, DT has gotten more, just the game launched in such a bad state that it wasn’t rly “good” until last year

[onyx jasper]

What do updates usually look like for dt?

[lime idol]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/767173194943168545/1379449614960427069/Screenshot_20250603_092009.png?ex=68404811&is=683ef691&hm=2519975691228acb98807774ec82bd736312ca6cf5923f8b7cda3afa8b21fee5&

[lime idol]

New map and/or new weapon, with major QoL improvement

But the 2 most recent ones both added new modes

Grim Protocols added Havoc
Nightmare & Visiobs added Mortis Trials

[buoyant notch]

where is the best place to find a plague ogryn

i need one for a penance

[keen flume]

You don't find the plague Ogryn, the Plague Ogryn finds you

Just have luck with random and scripted boss encounters

[fleet crest]

you'll eventually see one as a random boss encounter

if you do see one, the head is its weakpoint

[buoyant notch]

i need to run into it when it is charging

[fleet crest]

Is it for "I'm in Charge"?

[buoyant notch]

yea

[fleet crest]

Ah that one; basically when the plague ogryn rears its head down and roars by charging, use Bull Rush to charge at it to interrupt their charge

[buoyant notch]

the problem is that my main build doesnt have bull rush 😭

so i have to switch my build to get it

[fleet crest]

well the penance's description does say to use Bull Rush

[wicked valley]

Hey
I need some help with one zealot penance, the "It's just a flesh wound". I read that it can be done in the rolling steel map, is this true?

[supple helm]

It's doable in any mission. Rolling Steel just happens to be the shortest and thus easiest one. Also it requires you to be in a private game, since purposefully trying to run through a whole mission with less than one segment is health is a burden on your team.

[onyx jasper]

Do all weapons have the same crit chance

[zealous dome]

Not all weapons

But a lot have 0%

[wicked valley]

Yeah, the biggest problem for me is being private. Any other tips for doing this? I run a chorus build for survivability

[supple helm]

Find a willing team and don't die.

[wicked valley]

Bruh

[smoky ember]

@clear plume

[clear plume]

Playing VT in inca rn

but If I hop on DT i can help

[indigo yacht]

what is the good allaround beginner gun for vet?

[azure granite]

I'm not going to lie, but fury and stealth have better survivalbility than chorus

[polar forum]

Infantry auto guns are pretty standard

Agri and Vraks

[azure granite]

No it's Helbore

[polar forum]

Recoil is gonna suck until you hit level 30 though

[indigo yacht]

is there a good scoped/acog option? The first gun i started with had a red dot, but now everything is just iron sights :(

[azure granite]

No but here is the next best thing: https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/253

[polar forum]

Yeah you can't modify attachments

[velvet tartan]

Only a few laser weapons have sights

[polar forum]

Unless you use a very unstable mod

[velvet tartan]

The mod makes you crash sometimes I got sick of it

Broke with last patch too

And disables skins so u are stuck with the ugly default schemes smh smh

You get used to the iron sights

You will mostly use melee anyway

[onyx jasper]

Is slide considered a dodge as far as game terminology goes?

[fickle ether]

No you can still get hit by melee it just dodges all ranged attacks during the slide. Not counting flamers ofc

[onyx jasper]

how do i best utilize slide for movement speed?

[fickle ether]

Just something you learn you can use it to save stm. Most of the time you use it to slide into ranged attacks so they don't land any hits on you

While pushing the ranged units like gunners and what not

[onyx jasper]

no i mean like i heard that people utilize slide to speedrun high level missions

[fickle ether]

Oh with knife?

Heavy attack then go in for a slide saves all your stm while sliding

[dense tulip]

You can slide off the things when you vault them like the crates and whatnot, and it will give you a boost in speed until you land

[onyx jasper]

idk, this thread basically https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/1l2mtv1/why_is_everyone_running_through_levels_at_light/

[fickle ether]

Ill check it after my mission

[vocal nacelle]

slide are different from dodge

[magic fox]

guys. What mission contributes to the "story"

?

[fickle ether]

Just sounds like their speedrunning with knife and invis maybe with a slide or two mixed in. Their known as knife speedrunners just block them

[vocal nacelle]

thats a good question

[zealous dome]

All of them

[vocal nacelle]

check back the answer on next update

23rd

[magic fox]

The ones I found were

Special Mission - The Twins

Cathedrum - Where you stop a ritual and this is where Admonition is first introduced I think

**
There was one but I'm not sure which this was but Rannick was talking about a traitor

[modest glade]

Technically playing each mission once is part of the story.

[upper yarrow]

does the game freeze alot for anyone else?

[warm berry]

is it normal to lose the game in malice difficulty im lvl 9 and getting rekt at malice

[fickle ether]

If your new to tide games yes it took me about 200 hrs to break out of malice. Just take it slow and learn the game no rush

[lucid epoch]

yes

the beating will help you learn to get good

[magic fox]

While that's true. I'm curious what mission it was about the traitor. I wanna play it again but it hasn't triggered again for me

It takes place after Zola was punished for the Orthus Offensive mission

[vocal nacelle]

depends on hardware, darktide is a bit hostile with AMD

[modest glade]

I think the traitor is a unique cutscene?
Or do you mean the Atoman Noble Traitor? I think that is randomly mention in one of the Archivum Sicorax missions.

[magic fox]

I'll test that out. Thanks.

Basically the mission was a back and forth between Zola and Rannick with Rannick criticizing Zola's actions in Orthus Offensive and Zola was like Rannick you're being rash now. Or something like that it was a quick play so I don't remember much

[vocal nacelle]

you can try mortis trial, there's zola & morrow memory

or find the martyr skull

[magic fox]

Thanks. I'll eventually do Mortis Trial again.

[keen flume]

That really shows how invisible and unnoticeable the traitor is for the first time

First time leveling a class and you won't noticed or know what is going on that you miss the subtle details

[velvet tartan]

Subtle details?

They hint at the mole?

It isn't just that one cutscene where you see her a little bit?

I forgot who she even was by the time I hit level 30

[keen flume]

You see her lot of times in the cutscenes

The one scene where you see with a squad gearing up, you see her pretending to bless a ranged weapon but the thingy is not light up which proves she is faking it

[velvet tartan]

They really could have made it look more interesting

[keen flume]

Hopefully they will make it on june 23

[velvet tartan]

There was like 0 reason to care or look for details lol

Yeah hope they will make the story actually engaging

And not just cutscenes where someone goes "Nice progress but I still don't trust you, fuck off and do more" and my guy just walks away without saying a word

[keen flume]

Also this one scene where the traitor seems to have placed something in a hallway and suspiciously running always looking back as she thinks she was spotted before bumping into a guy

[velvet tartan]

Why is the commissary clerk even moving so much

Her job is selling recolored slop

[keen oracle]

The mission you're looking for is "Dark Communion"

[frank token]

How do I actually do the event and destroy skulls? I just did a full maelstrom round and got no progress

Skulls = Headshots yeah?

[keen oracle]

You have to play a mission with the event modifier. The skulls will drop when you kill specials/elites

You also get 250 skulls from destroying the totems

[frank token]

Ohhh thank you, I swear that skulls meant headshots at one point

[shadow skiff]

Need Dark Rituals modifier.

[keen flume]

This one

[frank token]

Yeah guys I'm in a game of it already, thank you though!

[cold heron]

okay new to the game, but have some experience in vermintide, does zealot played like zealot class from saltpyre?

[keen flume]

He has few talent nodes and keystone martydrom that lets him play almost similar to zealot saltzpyre

[cold heron]

interesting

[vocal nacelle]

should be easy skill transfer if you play VT2

just need to learn how to slide

[cold heron]

saw some people slide and baffled and I CAN RUN?!

[vocal nacelle]

yes its more mobile than vt2

[cold heron]

tho i have to say i thought ranger are the same with berseker but they kicked my ass

or maybe fanatic rat

[vocal nacelle]

pretty much the same

naked one hit fast
armoured one hit slow but have chaos warrior body

[cold heron]

i don't remember getting deleted by berseker that bad but that might because i have shitty weapon to deal with it

[ruby tide]

What’s the fastest way to level 1-30?

[cold heron]

you do mission and higher difficulties = faster

[ruby tide]

Oh man

[cold heron]

:^) trying to weasel my ass on third difficulties, i can survive but people tend to be really new to fatshark game so i also meet newbies hence why i am here

[vocal nacelle]

can help in few hour

[keen flume]

At first they do feel very tough when you learning but eventually they become too less of a threat like from plague monks

[vocal nacelle]

same in VT2 , avoid the combo dodge back and shoot

also depends on the class

[keen flume]

They also can be more staggered

[vocal nacelle]

if you pick psyker, early psyker is a pretzel

[cold heron]

newer people doesn't seem to understand the longer you linger in the level the more you have to fight off, i just need to learn the map and start zooming it again

[keen flume]

At least one thing is that their moveset is not as janky which i hated in VT2

[vocal nacelle]

newbie zone in diff 1-5

experienced player in auric/maelstorm (still 50-50)

[cold heron]

do they have VT2 Chaos waste-like level?

[vocal nacelle]

no

[keen flume]

Well

Not exactly

[cold heron]

dang

[vocal nacelle]

we have weaves 2.0 tho

[cold heron]

it's fun tho chaos waste

[keen flume]

At least for now, god knows if they ever add chaos wastes like

[vocal nacelle]

there's also fortunes of war like mode + boon (like chaos waste)

[keen flume]

Theres an alternative mode of chaos waste in darktide

More of a wave based rogue lite

[cold heron]

oh thats nice actually

[cold heron]

i like the sound of this

[keen flume]

It came out like 2 months ago

It does not still have too much content but it can be fun for first hours

There are some very hilarious upgrades and blessings though lmao

[cold heron]

also how does limiting only to making 6 (?) charather good?

[keen flume]

For now only 5

[vocal nacelle]

cuz you only need 1 each

[keen flume]

But with Arbites coming on june 23rd, there will be more slots

[cold heron]

oh so new class = new charather?

not like VT 2 i guess

can you respec?

[vocal nacelle]

resource are shared , but weapons are not

[vocal nacelle]

yes

[cold heron]

oh nice

[keen flume]

Classes in Darktide are very different in comparasion from VT2

[vocal nacelle]

there's loadout setting in talent tree/inventory

[cold heron]

yea, i thought we will have named charather like VT2

[keen flume]

We all just a bunch of nameless morons dragged into a war

[cold heron]

when it was first released i was expecting same formula except 40k

is this post indominatus crusade or pre?

[vocal nacelle]

post

blueberry johnson already awake

[cold heron]

oh so robot girlyman is back? very nice

mayhaps we may see

fairfax?

[keen flume]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7SQQtwZMdvc

"what the grut is it? "

[cold heron]

will they ever add tech-priest class?

[keen flume]

Who knows

It took them 2.5 years to add a post launch class with Arbites

[cold heron]

tbf i can feel the game felt unpolished still

[keen flume]

Most of the game main issues has been like reworked and properly fixed

Crafting system, class talents reworks and such

But now most what we want to expect is actual game content

[cold heron]

is it that barren?

[vocal nacelle]

not really

[keen flume]

In this current state not really

But been a while since we got like new missions and weapons

[cold heron]

yea saw people writing about farming stuff

[vocal nacelle]

probably can reach 200-500hr if you level up everything

[keen flume]

Gameplay loop is also very addicting

[cold heron]

it felt like warframe that i have to level each weapon now

[keen flume]

Ever after 850 hours of playtime that I got the game last year it always feels good to play

[vocal nacelle]

Just dump resources

[keen flume]

Or you keep playing missions with that weapon equiped

[cold heron]

i really like sword thats all

[keen flume]

Relic blade?

the two handed sword for zealot i mean

[cold heron]

Haven't got it yes but there's 2 similar looking one

[vocal nacelle]

Heavy sword

[keen flume]

Speaking of similar ones, theres also weapon marks

[cold heron]

huh?

[vocal nacelle]

Each weapon have different version

You can change it when you check the weapon on "marks" Button

[keen flume]

They can have from different movests, damage, stats, cleave, armor penetration and rate of fire for guns

[ruby tide]

Had no idea they had movesets that’s dope

[vocal nacelle]

Game melee not mindless left click

[vernal plaza]

That reminds me someone said chainsword suck a few hours ago in zealot chat

Didnt oneshot trash mob randomly

[grave yacht]

what are the barrel mechanics? i haven't thoroughly examined how to tell when it's going to explode vs. explode+spread fire. i've been using them as transportation for some time now though...

[vernal plaza]

Yellow (boom) vs red (burn)

[grave yacht]

there's a color difference?? 🥹 need to check my eyes ig

[vernal plaza]

Bad way to realizr youre colorblind

[grave yacht]

wow look at that

huh

never noticed

[vernal plaza]

Idk if theres red/yellow blindness

[grave yacht]

i do not have colorblindness
i wish they had different models tho

[cold heron]

HOW DO YOU DO THAT

[vocal nacelle]

?

[cold heron]

found it

mark

oh my god

[pale marsh]

any math people here? if i sacrifice a weapon of the same type to Hadron, how much xp does it give? does anybody know how much green/blue/purple/orang gives each?

[supple helm]

Rarity doesn't matter. Only power level does when it comes to sacrificing

[pale marsh]

really? so orange 300 and say, green 300 give the same amount???

[supple helm]

Yup

[pale marsh]

well crumbs, my friend was right...

[heady pulsar]

The same type of weapon gives more mastery as well. So sacrifice the same weapons for the same weapons mastery.

[supple helm]

Buying green weapons from vendors is the most money-efficient way to sacrifice. Buying from Brunt and consecrating to green is the second most efficient way, if you're in a rush and have plasteel to spare.

[pale marsh]

that one i knew

[pale marsh]

thanks

I thought blue was better 🤦‍♂️

[supple helm]

Blue is less efficient than Brunt in terms of spending money, but it does save you plasteel

[pale marsh]

i mean upgrading from gray to blue instead of gray to green

[supple helm]

Zamn

[pale marsh]

thought the higher rarity gave more, but it does not T.T

episode 3984923423 of "Frosty Being Wrong" 🫠 👍

[heady pulsar]

Don't feel bad, the game itself will sometimes mislead or outright lie to you, but that's what friends are for, guidance if nothing else?

[onyx jasper]

As i level, should i be upgrading my weapons? im level 14 right now

[heady pulsar]

Do Melk's contracts and buy the good stuff from him until you get more mastery and materials to work with.

[onyx jasper]

The mastery system is literally just crafting unlocks, right?

Other than marks

[keen flume]

Weapon marks, higher power level, mastery points that you can spend on blessings

[onyx jasper]

But blessing is just a crafting system

right?

[keen flume]

You will need to level up the mastery of the weapon to earn blessing points

[onyx jasper]

Right... but the blessing system is just a crafting system

[keen flume]

Yes they are used for crafting

Theres four trait levels for blessings that they are upgrades of the blessings, the higher trait level the more efficient and powerful they are

[bronze girder]

hello my friend only started now and needs traitorous collective, but can't do it cause we haven't encountered any scab radio operator or any where this enemy is needed, is there a way to still do it after the event?

[clear plume]

Was an event enemy a few weeks ago, not in game. They will probably add him back soonish

[bronze girder]

yeah i guessed, that not possible now :/

but thanks for the help :)

[obsidian belfry]

So now that I've wasted a bunch of mats on a terrible weapon, what's the actual good way to get better weapons early on? 😭

[stoic locust]

Before level 30? Don’t bother rolling weapons

Just buy whatever looks fun and run it at the rarity and power you bought it

You are going to be treadmilling gear anyway

[heady pulsar]

Buy them from Melk, you can get 500 rated weapons from him before you reach level 30.

[obsidian belfry]

That makes sense. Thank you

[potent mulch]

would somebody be willing to help me with my mods?

maybe join a call with me

Mod framework etc is showing up

but my hud and other ones arent

[kindred inlet]

are they on the mod order list?

[potent mulch]

yes that was the Issue now im trying to figure out how to make Crosshair HUD look decent

[obsidian belfry]

What does it take to make daggers good on the zealot? I hear they're good, but I just haven't had good results with them yet. Do you need the good blessing combos or something?

[velvet tartan]

Aiming

That's it

Headshots

[shadow skiff]

Uncanny and something else. Push atk on mk 6 to heads.

[velvet tartan]

Blessings on throwing knives?

[shadow skiff]

I think they mean the combat blade.

[velvet tartan]

I wouldn't switch my weapons to ones with good blessings for the dagger just so dagger can benefit, it is just a long range specialist killer, smth to get out of a pinch

[velvet tartan]

People call that dagger?

While zealot has literal daggers?

[obsidian belfry]

The combat blade yeah sorry

[velvet tartan]

And they said daggers, plural

Fuck

[shadow skiff]

Knoife, dagger, pointy thing.

[velvet tartan]

Makes no sense but meh

I know nothing about combat blade but if it has uncanny you use uncanny

[fickle ether]

Precog is also a good pick for blessing

[soft pollen]

Quick question! Does the bolt pistol blessing Lethal Proximity (explosion radius increases by x%) applies to grenades as well? If yes, does it apply only if I throw the grenade when wielding the bolt pistol or also if I'm starting from melee? Thanks.

[shadow skiff]

Yes, passively as well so no need to have gun out.

[soft pollen]

Thanks a lot

[shadow skiff]

Only frags, shredders and krak though.

[obsidian belfry]

Ah so skill issue. Makes sense

[shadow skiff]

You basically do no damage with bodyshots. Unless lacerate but then you still wanna hit heads after applying the bleed.

[velvet tartan]

No that's for throwing knife

Not combat blade

[shadow skiff]

Still, that weapon is headshot focused.

[velvet tartan]

Applies to that too huh

[shadow skiff]

Crit headshot basically.

You can test it yourself.

[obsidian belfry]

I'm testing it and. Yeah. Something like a pitiful 54 damage to the body, but a headshot heavy attack from a backstab does like 600

Might use this thing a bit more. I like using things that force me to try to learn to play well

[digital musk]

Which of the recon las marks is the best? Slow or fast? Bored of plasma.

[shadow skiff]

Blue is best boss DPS but is an ammo hose, Green is best ammo efficiency, brown has cleave but costs 2 ammo per shot.

Blue is meta in general. Ppl argue over green and brown. I prefer green personally if I don't wanna deal with the downsides of blue. Slower pull out and reload.

[digital musk]

Thanks

[west ingot]

Are there any good content creatures that I can listen to to help me learn the game better? Most of the stuff I've been able to find is aroubf 5 or 6 months old.

[shadow skiff]

Not really, better to just ask around in the class mains.

[west ingot]

Well, thats just poopmuffins.

I was hoping for something to listen to while I work. 😂

[shadow skiff]

The only good ones basically just play so you need to watch them do stuff anyway.

[west ingot]

It's more the tooltips in the game suck.

[shadow skiff]

And they sometimes run builds that newer players probably shouldn't go near yet because they have the skills to do so.

If you are in EU, @jade jolt will usually be willing to give you a low down on vet/oggy stuff. I honestly just suck at the game so only can talk about info stuff.

[west ingot]

I'm semi new, I've figured some things out but others I'm in the dark. Especially when the tool tips for stuff are parroting what the thing their meant to explain says without telling me what the karking thing does!

[lime idol]

The best source for those are steam guides

Check out kuli

[shadow skiff]

If PC, there's a mod that basically improves tooltips.

[west ingot]

I need to look into mods... I need one that cleans up the in mission UI too..

[shadow skiff]

Well, explains things FS failed to explain.

[west ingot]

So 90% of stuff? 🤣

[shadow skiff]

Might have to ask someone else about it since I'm too lazy to mod live service games and I need the excuse to complain for accessiblity for console users who might share or have some form of colourblindness.

[west ingot]

That's fair.

[shadow skiff]

That's just FS games. You either need to read code or ask around those who read it to know what things even do at times.

[lime idol]

Usually you can just ask

The problem is the lack of credible sources

Youtube people are usually not credible

[west ingot]

So there are plenty of incredible ones? 🤣

[lime idol]

There’re like a total of 6.5 good sources for info

[west ingot]

Sorry, bad joke.

[lime idol]

Yea
Incredibly misleading

[shadow skiff]

Just poke Path for everything. Heh. Or pester for that Vet guide that he keeps procrastinating on.

[jade jolt]

Ye i can talk & show stuff in vc if you’re willing

[west ingot]

If you're around when I finish work, definitely

[jade jolt]

Will let ya know when i will be available; for now i work myself for next 5 more hours

[west ingot]

I'm at work for 3 more so this works well

[steel dagger]

anyone trying to do some true survivor runs? still need to get that penance

[clear plume]

bro was so sad no one joined so they left

[keen flume]

You should have sent them invite, now they sad 😔

[fickle ether]

Funnily enough that isn't the first time they joined asked for something and then just left

[jaunty junco]

ive been doing havoc 1 to 10, is it always the same 2 maps here

[potent crystal]

What is the most efficient way to finish the current event?

[shadow skiff]

Malice, destroy all totems.

[potent crystal]

Do they spawn more frequently on Malice?

[zealous dome]

You get 3 totens per map on all difficulties

Malice games are shorter

Comparatively

[burnt imp]

Need 3 people helping me with the Auric Survivalist title. It's literally impossible with randoms. All they do is ignore enemies. Sadly lost 4/5 progress after the server dc.

[native lichen]

How do I unlock memory echoes from Mortis Trials? is it just one at a time every time I beat all 12 waves, or is there a way to do it quicker?

[potent crystal]

Thanks

[vocal nacelle]

yes, play normally

and its RNG

[slender sleet]

hello! i have a question about character creation!

[vocal nacelle]

you can change after you make one

name , voice, hair even background

[slender sleet]

right now we can create a max of 5 characters, that means in less than 2 weeks we can only have 1 character for every class, now the question, do you think we will have more slots?

[vocal nacelle]

FS said they gonna add more slot forgot where they mention it

i think in this server by CM or warden

[raw smelt]

There is also a mod for more char. slots

[slender sleet]

i hope so, cause rn i created a second zealot cause im playing with a friend that is enw in the game and yeah rn i am without slots for the arbites ahah

[slender sleet]

yeah but im scared to use it for those thigns, cause im scared if maybe one day i will lose characters created with the slots from the mod

[raw smelt]

Hope Max slots would be like 10 after DLC

[slender dirge]

question, title auric storm survivor , survive 5 auric malestroms without dying, does downing count?

[vocal nacelle]

i dont think so

just dont die die

[vocal nacelle]

yea dont die

[slender dirge]

Thank u

[obsidian belfry]

How big of a deal is it if a weapon's dump stat is at like 65% instead of 60, and then you lose 3% from one stat and 2% from another?

[heady pulsar]

Not a big deal at all unless you play at the very highest difficulties.

[keen oracle]

If you have lower than 80 on some damage related stats it can, miss breakpoints on Damnation diff. But it depends on the weapon

Honestly, most weapons are very easy to find with perfect stats if you're patient and wait for them to appear in brunts shop

I saw 4 perfect stat weapons in the shop when I looked earlier for example

That's not unusual tbh

[twilit grove]

Would fatshark refund a commodore purchase?

[heady pulsar]

I have no idea, but they're not gonna punish you for asking them.

[twilit grove]

How do you ask them? Where do i file a support ticket for that?

[fickle ether]

If it's within 2 weeks yes

https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/c/darktide/technical-issues/93

[smoky ember]

it will rarely have any effect

but it’s cheap enough to roll for another

so u may as well when u can afford it

[digital musk]

Does hitting targets with smite, even if it doesn't kill them, count towards total kills for Poxbreaker?

[graceful raptor]

lol why should it

[final cloud]

do we know the exact differences between each havoc difficulty?

[vocal nacelle]

Wdym

1-10 is malice
11-20 is heresy
30+ damnation
35+ auric maelstrom with extra modifier

[kindred inlet]

i think it's harder than that

• Ranks 1 to 10 are Malice difficulty

• Ranks 11 to 20 are Heresy difficulty

• Ranks 21+ are Damnation difficulty

• Ranks 16 to 29 have an "increased difficulty" mutator

• Ranks 30+ have the "highest difficulty" mutator

• Increased difficulty mutator is just Emperors Fading Light (1)

• Highest difficulty mutator is just Emperors Fading Light (2)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3375980903

due to how havoc works, especially now, things around 20 could easily be harder than any auric maelstrom, especially if certain things happen (like 3 bosses at once or something) and depending on modifiers

the above guide could easily be out of date

[vocal nacelle]

Wait i skipped 21

Ogryn brained

[broken raft]

Ive had to sweat for 19-20s so Id say 20s are probably the equivalent of normal damns

[shadow thicket]

One of my friends has 5 characters and is wondering when the new class gets added if he will have to remove one of his characters or if the new class won't apply to the 5 character limit

[clear plume]

@shadow thicket

"There will be more character slots."

[shadow thicket]

Thanks for the fast reply @clear plume

[upper yarrow]

Got a penance to kill 50 Scab Snipers and its at 50 but I can't claim it

[clear plume]

restart game or switch operative

then check again

[merry dome]

i cannot get a 17% toughness curio to save my life on my zealot... hes lvl 120 and have never seen it.

Whats weird is my Ogryn and Psyker are both like 40 and ive been able to buy 17% toughness and 3 stam curios from the armoury exchange!!!

but my zealot only gets trash in the armoury and i havent been lucky with mr melk either 😭

[clear plume]

Rng

[ivory forge]

can beast of nurgle shoot you out of its mouth into a death barrier

[silent furnace]

does anyone know if xp boost curios boost weapon xp too?

[clear plume]

yes

[clear plume]

no

[ivory forge]

i see

[buoyant lily]

You'll see when it does it to you

[vocal nacelle]

he can do more than that yeeting you at demonhost for example

[ivory forge]

it did

[honest bear]

Can anyone help me out with the Malleus Monstrorum penance?

[brave willow]

Hi, looking for ppl who could help me with a penance as Psyker, required private match, and i dont rly understand how to do it. I need to kill a boss with brain burst? or do the most dmg myself

[vocal nacelle]

do most damage on boss using BB

[brave willow]

can i do this penance on havoc mission?

is it count as private match?

[vocal nacelle]

nope

[brave willow]

its count

and i did that penance

[vocal nacelle]

Huh good to know

[steep trail]

what blessings/perks for agripinaa revolver? the one that doesn't ads

on zealot specifically

[graceful raptor]

doesnt ads? advertises what?

[shadow skiff]

ADS, the RMB/Left trigger to aim thing.

[graceful raptor]

i still dont get what the hell does it mean

[keen oracle]

ADS - Aim Down Sight

[graceful raptor]

is he talking about the big damage slow reload one

[shadow skiff]

No, he asking about the fan the trigger one. The cowboy revolver.

[graceful raptor]

now this i understand

"cowboy revolver"

[vernal plaza]

Probably means no surgical

[torn cargo]

Does the Collateral stat in Recon lasgun affect the dealt damage? Or as the description says, solely stagger?

[zealous dome]

Stagger only

[shadow skiff]

You can just dump it btw. Barely makes any difference in that way as well.

[clear plume]

I have a zealot setup guide pinned in zealot chat that will explain it

https://docs.google.com/document/d/16W_MhzUGXv9WRVjXjowIyqlktqrJ8U5wxVlgX3X5TU8/edit?tab=t.0

[torn cargo]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Stagger's not needed with this particular weapon. But sometimes Fatshark is not always precies with the descriptions. that's why I typed here. Thanks for the info.

[dusky orchid]

What is the least important stat on the DS? I have two 80/80/80/80/60 DS's

[clear plume]

[soft pollen]

How can I see where I stand in the current skull event?

[clear plume]

hold tab then cycle with E

if pc

unsure about console

[soft pollen]

Thanks

[shadow skiff]

Dumping mobility is just a safe bet if you plan to not roll multiple DS and just swap marks tbh.

[dusky orchid]

Playing support Psyker, so hordes can be a problem if others aren't staying near the support.

[shadow skiff]

Just burn the hordes tbh.

[dusky orchid]

I do, but DoT is DoT

[shadow skiff]

They should be burning down quickly enough though. But to be honest, the dodge difference won't change much. It really just means the teams you play with play different from your style. Conflicting styles maybe?

[dusky orchid]

Yeah, the only Havoc lobbies where it's been a problem is with Zealots and Ogryns running off when I place a bubble because we're being pincered.

[shadow skiff]

Ah, can see the issue. People don't know when to back off to a better position tbh if there's no pointman.

[dusky orchid]

It's a bit frustrating each time. They run off without their medic/support, then I get downed, and now they have no support.

You would think it would be a no-brainer to bodyguard the medic.

[shadow skiff]

More like, common sense is to stick together and move as fast as the slowest, unless the slowest is literally failing to move.

[dusky orchid]

Ironic that the Psyker has slower/less sprint than the Ogryn

[shadow skiff]

Sprint slide more to compensate for that specifically.

[dusky orchid]

I've done that when I can, problem is when a horde catches up with me and my team is far ahead.

[shadow skiff]

Then yeah, team might just be moving too fast so a conflict of playstyles. They are also failing to look behind just to check if someone is in trouble...

[twilit grove]

[burnt imp]

Need 3 people to help me with Auric mahlstom.

[burnt imp]

Move faster and don't stay behind

[subtle nexus]

is having speedload and both barrels on the DBshotty redundant?

[dusky orchid]

Good idea, I'll just tell the horde of unwashed masses to stop attacking me so I can reach my allies that ran off. Surely they won't follow the whole team and kill us in a pincer attack because a 2nd horde spawned in front.

[burnt imp]

Never had issues like that. If you keep moving and reach checkpoints everything will be okay.

[burnt imp]

Taking your time is just a waste of time. You can go through missions in like 10-15 min. The slower you are the higher the risk of dying.

[dusky orchid]

You haven't played Havoc mode have you. If your team outpaces you, you're just dead. The team HAS to stick together at all times.

[burnt imp]

Havoc above 23 is a different story, true. Yes a team has to stick together. Plus you need perfect Meta builds. But everything else you can just run through without any issues.

[keen oracle]

10-15min? We just letting the heretics live now?

[polar forum]

Yes, especially on vet

[subtle nexus]

of the 2 which would you recommend I keep?

[polar forum]

are you playing vet or some other class?

if you're playing vet, neither. if you're playing zealot, you can keep both barrels. if you're playing psyker, i'd honestly suggest dropping both as well

[subtle nexus]

vet

[polar forum]

ok drop both

take weapon specialist and always prepared

by reload manually when you can reload automatically

https://tenor.com/view/brain-gif-338783462287106063

[subtle nexus]

ok I shall try this out

le thank

[polar forum]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9e1f05dc-6162-4d02-8a5d-ceb865e4f69a/infil-fragger

example set up of an automatically reloading double barrel

main thing is that you want this

[subtle nexus]

oooh oh my b, I was talking like blessings on le gun itself

[polar forum]

yeah ik, but these talents let you remove the reload blessings

[subtle nexus]

my tree is inbred and doesnt even reach the purples

[polar forum]

and in turns allows you to take these extremely important blessings

manstopper is mandatory

and flechette is extremely powerful

allows you to proc bleed on basically an entire horde

and one shot snipers at any range (with the guaranteed crit from WS)

[subtle nexus]

How long does it usually take to get a response back on a support ticket?

I wonder if i even did it right

[wary osprey]

Hey guys, I have no VPN running and live in FL

WHY is NA server ping so high

But somehow have a 21 ping to Asia & PAcific North???

[fickle ether]

You now live in apac accept your fate

[kindred inlet]

lucky

[kindred inlet]

it's probably just wrong. if you get in-game and use the ping monitor mod it'll probably be fine

might be trying to use your ip to resolve location but that doesnt always work

[steep trail]

nice try little asian boy

[royal plover]

its been quite a while since i played so quick question
to do havocs i need to do the maelstrom? or is it the auric maelstrom?

[late valley]

Regular sets you at havoc level 1 auric sets you at havoc level 16

[steep trail]

you can skip to havoc 16 if you complete an auric maelstrom before starting havoc

[royal plover]

thanks

[normal sable]

chat

is it even worth it

do you think i can make it

[stoic locust]

Yeah thats like 10 missions in 4 days

just do like 3 a day and you're good

[normal sable]

in 4h?

[stoic locust]

Oh thats hours

I thought that was days

Yeah that's literally impossible

[normal sable]

i might be able to make it happen

[stoic locust]

You’d need to do every totem in every mission and somehow keep them all under 25 mins each

So uhh

Have fun

[normal sable]

pshhh thats easy

i need to hope my team can keep up!

[kindred inlet]

just leave as soon as you get the 3rd totem

seems impossible tho

[iron python]

Any oce players able to run some auric maelstroms? going for ASS

oh scratch that just realised this isnt the right forum, ill post in apac

[shadow skiff]

At 20 mins per run on malice, you can do 12. Just gotta MMT the faster missions and dip after third totem kill.

[wanton flame]

how exactly works "sprint efficiency"?
i know that lower cost stamina to sprint but is it increasing sprint speed ?

[shadow skiff]

No increase in speed, just makes running the same distance cheaper in stam cost.

[wanton flame]

thanks
