[static fractal]

From what I've seen

[shadow skiff]

There was 4 weapon skins.

400 each.

You could pick up one of them technically.

[rigid wasp]

Anyone know what error 2014 is

Second time getting it over a few hours now

[sinful summit]

Did you get it done lmao

[deep bronze]

my highest completed assignment last week was 29, but i got 21 in the new week.... anyone have an idea why?

[fickle ether]

So havoc reward chest is based off the highest you beaten that week being that 29 of yours. With havoc 2.0 changes you no longer rank up to the highest you've beaten that week and instead stay your current rank at the time of weekly reset.

However you no long have to worry about beating a high havoc to stay your current rank at reset you could beat a H1 and keep your H21 once reset rolls around

[deep bronze]

ah okay

thanks

should not have messed around with demotions then i guess 😛

thought they would jump back 😛

[fickle ether]

Sadly not anymore altho if you can get to h40 you can no longer derank no matter how much you lose so atleast there's some positive mixed in

[deep bronze]

🙂

[languid sail]

my havoc cache didn't count towards my 20 caches opened penance...

five more weeks instead of four i guess

[static fractal]

I saw only shredder autopistol
Decided no

I never used that thing

[shadow skiff]

Was plasma, shredder, inf las and an oggy gun. I think was ripper.

[static fractal]

Ah

It's rotated out now I presume?

[shadow skiff]

No clue. Didn't check, but assume the skulls discount is gone even if so.

[static fractal]

My point stands just like Cadia

It's better to just buy the aquilas if you want to get something pretty

Iirc the price floor was 2k aquillas

That's something to start with

[shadow skiff]

Not everyone can seriously afford to dump on added cosmetics so that little bit was nice for those.

[static fractal]

Ye I know
Still 500 is a weapon skin at most

Unless you're willing to wait till the next special event

[languid sail]

bro, cadia got rammed by a blackstone fortress. thing's gone, get over it

[static fractal]

Meh

After 13 attempts everything's fair

[shadow skiff]

Or save up and buy some nice set after years, heh.

[static fractal]

Haven't seen one I like yet aside from Armageddon

But I really prefer camo Armageddon outfit

[shadow skiff]

Still waiting for Commissar rerun on the class being left behind.

[signal wren]

Could anyone please help me get the penance "Just a Flesh Wound" :3

[lime idol]

u still need help?

[soft pollen]

While watching a video about Darktide I saw that the guy while playing somehow opened a window with the name of the teammates and several scores in different categories (attack, defense, cohesion, etc). It looked official so I don't think it's a mod. Is there a key to press to open that window while playing? I took a screenshot but unfortunately I can't attach them here

[keen oracle]

It is a mod

[soft pollen]

Ah I see, it's really well done then cause it looked as if it was part of the game

Thanks

[signal wren]

yeag

[clear plume]

If path can't help you I'll be on later today

[lime idol]

Already done

[normal sable]

i dont care about the aquillas, the emblem is all that matters

[normal sable]

absolutely not LOL, i played 2 games where team rushed totems and got us all killed and said "2am is too late to be dealing with this"

so i got off

[night steppe]

Not at a 100% GPU usage, RT no on, FG not on
Weird stutter and lower achievable max FPS than I used to have when I last played this
I wonder what's going on, if you look at the camera motion it's still relatively smooth, but looking at the character, even on video you should be able to tell the "stutters"

[warm berry]

no matter what i do i cant make mods work i just got darktide mod framework everything else wont show in the game

i followed every step in every youtube guide

[lime idol]

did u run the mod batch file

[warm berry]

yeah the only mods that load are these ones

everything else wont load

[lime idol]

what mods did u put into the mod folder

[lime idol]

maybe ask abt it in modder discord

[warm berry]

which discord is that can u link it pls

[warm berry]

ty vm

[red swallow]

Is the game having stability issues or something? me and 3 friends just reinstalled the game for the new patch coming up and 3/4 of us have constant crashing issues, one of us cant even make it into a match. 2 years ago we played with no issues

[fickle ether]

Are any of them using Nvidia drivers? Latest driver update has been known to crash the game

[red swallow]

theyre on nvidia, im on radeon, but it took me 5 hours of trouble shooting the other night to stabilize the game for me too, ended up also being the drivers needing to be rolled back

[little coyote]

yeah the current set of nvidia drivers have been very poor, they've caused a lot of crashes for a lot of people in myriad of games

[late valley]

Nvidia and not testing their drivers is it a day ending in a Y?

[coarse plaza]

any idea why the game blocks my y, s and x buttons on my laptops inbuilt keyboard?

nothing else is affected, and I never had this problem prior having a crash due to insufficent memory ... since then reinstalled the game restarted my computer and nothing

its also the game that is causing this, as I can freely use the afromentioned keys when im not in the game ....

[coarse plaza]

turns out its an assus laptop problem ... 🙂 so disregard my question

[vague bronze]

Hi, guys.

Does 'target cleave' stat affects energized hits on vet's power sword?

[smoky ember]

yes

[smoky ember]

however with brutal momentum, you don’t really need the target cleave to be high

but dumping mobility is usually the best option

[shadow skiff]

Naw, dump cleave targets since it hits no real hit target breakpoints.

[smoky ember]

i was trying to check paths guide

but it’s awful on mobile

but yah

@vague bronze yah what karien said

[vague bronze]

Nah, brutal momentum feel like trash of PS. Why would you go with blessing that will stop your blade after hitting single crusher? I go sunder!

[vague bronze]

So, technically is i dump cleave so i will cleave through less mobs with energized hits... Okay, thanks!

[zealous dome]

Uh

It's brutal momentum still

💀

Anyways we often recommend Sunder on mk3

[clear plume]

Why cleave cara when you can just 1 tap crushers with BM

Lol

[keen flume]

Push attack stab on PS is my beloved

[placid quiver]

no idea where to report this.

but my builds get stuck? like on the mourningstar i am always wearing one thing and then in a mission i am defaulted to an entirely different build.

[lime idol]

(It doesn’t 1 tap without damage juicing)

[clear plume]

fair

but it can

[lime idol]

And BM also doesn’t go through ogryn enemies

[vague bronze]

I go with mk3. Used to it since beta

I don't see the point of switching to mk6. Imo 6 is straight up worse with moveset and activation time

[vague bronze]

Because crushes can go with the horde and it's more convenient for me to kill the horse first and them kill the crusher

[zealous dome]

Would you believe me if I told you mk6 is better than mk3

[vague bronze]

How lol?

[zealous dome]

Better defenses
Better horde clear (brutal momentum moment)
Better single target damage

Mk3 still a power sword though and that's enough to overperform against most weapons

💀

[vague bronze]

How?
Not true. Mk 3 powered heavy swipes are superior.
Arbuable. Mk 3 push attack not really behind on single target damage

[zealous dome]

Oh so it is behind

[vague bronze]

It kills crusher with two push attacks and, maybe a couple of lights

[zealous dome]

Or you could get PS6 and 1 PA 1 light

But the truth is that mk3 is only slightly behind mk6

However

Still behind

[modest marten]

why do i sill have thoose?

[smoky ember]

mk6 moveset is better for horde clear due to brutal momentum meaning you don’t need heavies

mk6 push attack light kills a crusher

mk6, you basically never need to use heavies

[slender dirge]

how possible / not possible are the hard mode twins

[zealous dome]

It's possible
You might need a good loadout and knowledge of the fight

The alternative is asking Ainz for help

[clear plume]

Need help?

[slender dirge]

yeah i think so

was just too shy to ask

[clear plume]

just need your fatshark code

social menu then press E

[slender dirge]

6137357630

this?

[lime idol]

higher single target dps
slightly better horde clear (light atks come out faster with similar clear efficiency as heavy atks)
lower sprint cost
faster activation with block cancel

in a max density trial, mk3 with sunder can clear only 0.3s behind mk6 with BM for 50 poxwalkers (stacked literally inside each other)
but practically game will never spawn density like that (enemies spread out a bit more) so mk6 usually pulls ahead

[stoic locust]

Mk3 is the sidegrade that enables armor sliding cara and bulwarks

[warped basin]

can someone remind me real quick where do >400 curios drop from? havoc?

[keen oracle]

Keep an eye out for them in brunts shop or spam buy them from melk and hope you get lucky

[warped basin]

utter bullshit that if you want to complete a "meta" build, your only option is RNG
thankfully it's just 1% toughness difference

[keen oracle]

I get that but it really doesn't matter much lol

Grab a 16% toughness/20% health/+2 stam and then just be patient

[warped basin]

I still mostly play my heresies in the mornings and work my way up single digit havocs in the evenings so curios don't matter much yet anyway

[wanton flame]

is chained hit counted when i do whatever hit etc light>heavy or just combo with single light>light>light
like it is wrote in details on weapon stats

[dapper shard]

IIRC it’s just consecutively connecting (hitting an enemy with) any light and heavy attacks past the first hit, but somebody do correct me if it’s more involved

Chaining hits can also be initiated with push-follow-up attacks, but executing a push stops the chain

[vague bronze]

Gave it a try to check all the points you named...

Only lower sprint cost is somewhat remarkably better

[autumn walrus]

my game says i have 300 fps but it doesnt feel like 300 and my game keeps stuttering does anyone know a fix maybe?

[vocal nacelle]

AMD?

[autumn walrus]

yea

[vocal nacelle]

or first time?

[autumn walrus]

wym first time?

[vocal nacelle]

new player

[autumn walrus]

yea

[vocal nacelle]

it could be the game still trying to build up the shader cache

and you need to revert back to old driver version, because new one cause stuttering

[autumn walrus]

its like my third time starting the game though

[autumn walrus]

like last amd version

[vocal nacelle]

i dont use amd so i dont know which version is good for darktide

[autumn walrus]

okay thank you for the help though

[vernal plaza]

25.5.1 is fucced
theres 25.6.1 now

[autumn walrus]

i have 25.6.1

[lime idol]

Then you’re not doing most of it right

[zealous sapphire]

starting to get into havoc proper, currently around 22ish clearance.

Got a question about dealing with regular shooters, do I have no other choice than to use my gun on them if they're spread out enough?

these enemies are becoming a serious threat to hp if I leave them unchecked as veteran, but Idk if I should use my gun on them given the limited ammo

[little coyote]

have a shield psyker in your team

and sources for over toughness

[zealous sapphire]

so the usual, got it

[hazy blade]

hello! whats the best way to farm for Plasteel and Diamantine?

[keen oracle]

Just play the game and loot tbh. Don't really need to go past damnation unless you want to though

Higher havocs can give you a decent reward chest every week if you have the skill

[smoky ember]

havoc 40 once a week will give u a ton of resources

but otherwise, normal damnation and just look around

auric and normal damnation have the same amount of resources in them

[hazy blade]

alright!

[covert solar]

Anyone available to help with the "Just a Flesh Wound" penance? Trying to do it in 30 - 60 minutes

[clear plume]

I can help now

[covert solar]

Great!

PM?

[clear plume]

just need your fatshark code, social menu then press E

[mint shell]

can you increase the base stats on a weapon or are they locked?

the ones that go up to 80%

[clear plume]

80% is max

[soft pollen]

What is the maximum % of toughness that a curio can have? I can't seem to find anything above 16% but I just wanna make sure. Ty

[clear plume]

17% tough, 21%hp, +3stam (above 410 rating), +1 wound

are max

[soft pollen]

Ty. Is there a way to empower curios the same way it's done for weapons?

[clear plume]

cant change curio rating

you can upgrade its color, to add more perk slots

up to 3

[soft pollen]

Thanks

[mint shell]

i understand 80% is max im asking if you can increase them or if theyre locked at creation of the weapon

[clear plume]

max stat is capped to what the number on the right is

[mint shell]

lets say i have a weapon that has 17% in a stat. can i upgrade it to 80% somehow eventually or is it stuck at 17%

[clear plume]

number on left is current stat

number on right is max when fully empowered

makes sense?

[mint shell]

how do i fully empower a weapon

[lone adder]

Level it up to 19 mastery

[mint shell]

thanks :)

[lone adder]

No prob!

[placid trellis]

how should i progress after i hit level 30?

[lime idol]

Get better gear

[lone adder]

Level masteries up for other weapons, play higher difficulties, try different builds

[placid trellis]

cool ty

[rigid wasp]

also if you only did it for one character do it for other classes

[rigid wasp]

What perks and blessings should I be putting on my dueling sword?

[true gust]

Most people say like Precognition and Riposte

[clear plume]

Flak/unyielding then precog + riposte/uncanny

[wanton flame]

is there any way to farm more diamonds?

[vocal nacelle]

quickplay damnation give around 1K-1.2K plasteel and 305 ish diamantine if you collect all drop

if you want more, play havoc

havoc 40 give 23K diamantine chest

[stoic locust]

(Once a week)

[vocal nacelle]

even havoc 16 give 2K

[stoic locust]

Alternatively you can spend 20000 melk currency to buy out his entire shop and discard all of it for like 400 diamantine

[wanton flame]

23k? dam time to go for havoc well i will probably will be able done somewhere near 30+

it is better to save that currency if they will be nice weapon stats

that refresh daily

[stoic locust]

That’s the funny part, melk weapons never have good stats

The fact they made him worse by making his weapons better is hilarious

[vocal nacelle]

havoc 40, its "hard"

the darktide ELO journey

havoc rank = ordo, diamantine , plasteel

• 16 = 12000, 2000, 5000
• 18 = 15400, 2270, 6100
• 20 = 17300, 2650, 7100
• 22 = 19800, 3140, 8200
• 30 = 41000, 7050, 15200
• 35 = 73000, 12600, 22900
• 40 = 137400, 23200, 35100

[raw smelt]

Is there a way to play Mortis Trials solo? (Like with bots)

[shadow skiff]

Pick africa server or SEA at graveyard hours.

[raw smelt]

Will try thank you . There are always 2-3 Ogryns constantly throwing grenades and shooting rumblers the game becomes unplayable for me (single digit FPS)

[shadow skiff]

You can try your local server at weird hours as well, but IDK if that'll work.

[lone adder]

Question: whats considered close range for the purposes of blessings like Deathspitter and Dumdum?

[zealous dome]

12.5 meters

For full effectiveness

Then iirc it decays

Until it hits 0% effectiveness at 30 meters

Back when close range was 8m

[soft pollen]

Does "close range kills" apply only to ranged weapons or melee kills are also considered close range?

[modest marten]

whats the more accurate mod for tracking stuff ingame? is it the "scoreboard" mod or is it the "PowerDI" mod

[clear plume]

PowerDI by far

but its harder to run

[modest marten]

in what regard harder to run?

[clear plume]

affects performance

[modest marten]

yeah well that shouldnt be an issue for me but still thx for the info

[kindred inlet]

it'll probably be an issue

[lone adder]

So at most just a few steps away from the player, damn

[summer basin]

Is the quick work penance bugged?

[clear plume]

no

it works fine

[summer basin]

Strange, me and my friend have tried like 3 times, and still no dice gettting it

[clear plume]

I can help soon

[fleet crest]

any tips for the Kill Shot penance? It’s the one with using the keystone Marksman Focus. Low key, I’m getting frustrated with this when playing with randoms

[stoic locust]

Its way easier with a shotgun ironically

The Zarona combat shotgun works really well for this because of its alt shells

Run this
When a horde spawns you spam the special shells at head height while ADS'd, and as long as you hit 5 or more a shot you have a 100% crit chance while doing this so they all have infinite cleave
Infil is here so you can pop it and abuse Low Profile to keep shooting without being harassed

Fastest and easiest way to do it without outright cheese such as Crab Vet

Make sure to run a melee that is good at carapace though, kraks can't carry it all

They can however carry boss damage

[fleet crest]

Hmmm a shotgun? Never thought about it but I’ll give it a a try

Dueling sword might be a good choice since I have that

[stoic locust]

This one specifically is probably the best weapon for the penance because its special shells have a perfectly flat spread

[fleet crest]

I’ve been using the recon lasgun and was thinking of ditching it

It’s fun to use, but I feel there’s better options out there

[stoic locust]

Recon also works pretty well but if you want to fully lean into getting this done than the shotgun will work better

[fleet crest]

Luckily I was able to save a shotgun, but if it’s not the one like that with 60 mobility, then I’ll just buy one

[vocal nacelle]

Crab powersword

[obsidian belfry]

So I'm not sure where to ask this but I'm having some trouble with a click macro (essentially I just want it to click fast to do light attacks so I don't wreck my wrist any more than it already is). It works with shooting my gun, and it works with tagging, since I have tagging set to left click, but the macro won't do melee attacks and I'm trying to figure out why that is

[clear plume]

Just use the auto attack mod

[severe loom]

my chat is broken?its black screen and i cant send anything, restarted my game and pc... didnt work. help pls

[clear plume]

Saves you so much effort

[obsidian belfry]

Ah in this case I already had the macro (from my Razer mouse) and I'm just trying to use it here

I'll look into it though

Thank you

It's just weird that it works for everything except specifically melee attacks

[clear plume]

I'm unsure about macros but I've used the auto attack mod multiple times for challenge runs and had no problems

[vocal nacelle]

darktide chat system is 3rd party

usually a game restart would fix the chat

or the vivox system is dead for a while

[fleet crest]

ew I hate the power sword with a passion

[true gust]

power sword gets better when you get the right blessing on it, unfortunately you gotta use it to get it

[keen oracle]

Heavy sword

[fleet crest]

Like when I first tried it, it looked promising. But then I realized it was the mobility that made me not want to use it anymore

Only reason was I wanted to master it to lvl 20

[ivory gate]

Do damage modifiers apply to DoT?

[true gust]

You're gonna be hurting for mobility on most every Veteran weapon, and it gets really boring to only use dueling sword and knife forever. Unless you're one of those knife only speed freaks i guess.

[vocal nacelle]

debuff like rending and brittleness yes

[ivory gate]

Oh only that? So ranged attack/weakpoint modifiers are useless on recon lasgun's burn blessing

Not even crit mult?

[vocal nacelle]

crit apply extra stack of dot usually on psyker warp stuff

[ivory gate]

Well you burn the target ON crit

[vocal nacelle]

im pretty sure only rending and brittle boost DoT

[ivory gate]

Is armor damage modifiers just damage against that armor type or can you actually "damage" an enemy's armor?

[vocal nacelle]

first one

[ivory gate]

Dang

[vocal nacelle]

technically brittleness does the 2nd one

[ivory gate]

I might just swap out the blessing altogether, the burn isnt doing any damage in my experience

[vocal nacelle]

its good vs monster

[ivory gate]

This one I know

[vocal nacelle]

but suck against crusher

[fleet crest]

I mean fair. Maybe I might give the power sword another chance

[ivory gate]

The naming conventions are weird in this game

Anywho

[shy stone]

You could also try something spicy like a Chain Axe if you want to mix things up a bit. If you want something more meta, Combat Axes (Antax and Rashad mostly) are also very effective

[restive cove]

How good is the Heavy LasPistol compared to the revolver and is it worth using? ( Aside from maxing it out for penance )

[lime idol]

it's nice but obv not as strong as the mk2a revolver

[restive cove]

ah okay ty

[craggy minnow]

Also hope you like clicking lol

[ivory gate]

I really like it on psyker and veteran since it has high crit chance

Esp with that talent on veteran that makes you not consume ammo on critical hits

[graceful raptor]

its extremely good against shooters and gunners/shotgunners

if you can pop heads of course

specials also

[ivory gate]

I just noticed that the autopistol has both stopping power and collateral

How does the damage multiplier work since they both have some overlapping (unyielding and flak)

[craggy minnow]

Poorly i assume considering how the gun performs

[ivory gate]

Well yeah but like, do they stack? Do you take the highest or lowest?

[lime idol]

stopping power is damage vs diff armor types
collateral is stagger & suppression

max both for autopistol, dump mobility

[craggy minnow]

I feel like what autopistol needs to be relevant is good blessings (at least)

I always think about levelling it, look at the blessings, and go "why would i want these"

[lime idol]

it has 4 good blessings rn

pretty good selection

[clear plume]

Autopistol is amazing with its role

[obsidian belfry]

So I've had a hard time finding more resolute info on this, but with the combat blade, when is it better to use Mercy Killer + Flesh Tearer, and when is it better to use something like Uncanny Strike + Riposte?

[clear plume]

bleed is a trap

[stoic locust]

It is always better to use uncanny riposte because mk flesh tearer is bad

[hoary lichen]

ey can someone help me try to get the "untouchable" achievement rq
have a train mission on diff 2 saved

[lime idol]

I can help

[hoary lichen]

got it ty tho

[steep trail]

what's the dump stat for the shredder pistol?

mobility?

[lime idol]

yes

[steep trail]

also which blessing to go with pinning fire? blaze away, inspiring barrage, or raking fire?

[lime idol]

blaze away if u want more dmg
inspiring barrage if u want better toughness sustain
cavalcade if u build crit (ex: psyker)

[unreal forge]

whats the meta zealot build rn?

[violet finch]

backstab book imo

you can out-ability a vet shout spam lmao

[serene zephyr]

Assault chain sword dump stat?

[graceful raptor]

Morbility

[ivory gate]

Does higher difficulty give you more plasteel/diamantine?

[kindred inlet]

it's more accurate to say that higher difficulty spawns more plasteel/diamantine. you have to find it

[ivory gate]

Aaaah yeah that's what I was referring to, thanks

What's the green highlights on some of the enemies?

[graceful raptor]

if you mean eyes - its from the poxgas - they become tougher

[vocal nacelle]

Maelstorm nurgle blessing

[ivory gate]

Oh those are the buffed enemies?

[vocal nacelle]

On maelstorm yes, you cant stagger the glowing green one

if you get pinned by green dog your teammate need to kill

If they cant do it you just get chewed for a while

[storm glen]

I dont want to do my own research so ill ask here, does the Arbites start on level 30 or 1? Do we know?

[ivory gate]

Is Opening Salvo on Vigilant Autogun always on if you use the semi auto Mark?

[little coyote]

No, you'll need to wait for the recoil to reset for it to activate again

[inland lichen]

What's the difference between all the difficulty levels?
How about regular to auric to havoc?

[keen oracle]

Auric is similar to normal but with the "Hi Int" modifier as base. Plus other modifiers are more frequent

Havoc is its own thing with special conditions

[vocal nacelle]

auric director is more bloodthirsty than regular

[shadow skiff]

Auric also removes the pity cap on specials. You can easily get a congaline of trappers.

[vocal nacelle]

and havoc is crazier than auric

[shadow skiff]

Or 7+ boomers, on a normal high int auric mission.

[ivory gate]

How do you get clearance level 40?

[fickle ether]

Beat a havoc 40

[ivory gate]

Ohh it's havoc related, I see

Do they actually give extra talent points?

[fickle ether]

Yep not to be confused with rank CLv is the highest you've beaten which can be higher or lower then your current rank

[ivory gate]

Or are they just prestige levels

[fickle ether]

No they dont

They kinda work as prestige kinda just flexing rights if anything not that beating a havoc 40 means your good at the game

[shadow skiff]

You can get carried, lul.

[fickle ether]

Yep

[runic egret]

Play rumbler ogryn and it's near impossible to not do the carrying

[shadow skiff]

You dunno how bad players can get, do you?

[runic egret]

Sah, me thinks you need more boom sah

[runic egret]

I've certainly seen some creatures

[ivory gate]

Is the catachan recon lasgun fire rate capped? Tried to run veteran's right keystone and the fire rate feels the same without

[shadow skiff]

It only increases it for like 10 shots, you burn that in a fraction of a sec.

This is assuming max stacks.

[ivory gate]

I thought the buff is time based?

[shadow skiff]

The shot is first shot guaranteed crit, each shot burns a stack.

[ivory gate]

Oooh

[shadow skiff]

The melee side is time based.

[ivory gate]

Damn that sucks

Thought I could go above 1200rpm constantly

*consistently

[shadow skiff]

It was more meant to be used with revolvers, bistols and other more semiauto or single shot guns.

Or shotguns.

[ivory gate]

Yeah I've been using the revolver and bolt pistol with it, thought I tried something new

[shadow skiff]

You are better off middle or keystoneless with recon. Maybe left, but recon finesse is meh.

[ivory gate]

Idk vet's right side tree felt underwhelming on some of it

[shadow skiff]

It's the "strongest" side though... you can see why vet needs buffs generally.

[ivory gate]

I've been running the "no ammo on las crits skill" and it's pretty fun

Yeah feels like people default to his middle tree, esp when it comes to aura and active

Left active is okay but I wish the augments are better

Like I get they encourage you to be in the stance 24/7 but the skill is also on 30s cooldown

[runic egret]

I hope they buff double barrel cause my wep spec DB build is boutta go CRAZY

Already does but mmhh

[shadow skiff]

Yep, tree is fun, but too taxed tbh.

[oblique parrot]

heyy guys i just got into the game. wanted to ask how does one obtain gold quality weapons and curios. Trying to get better gear but havent been getting much luck

[lone adder]

If you're starting, you shouldnt worry too much about the highest rarity weapons. You'll be able to easily get them when you hit 30 and/or with sufficient resources for upgrading said weapons

[oblique parrot]

Oh got it thanks.

[lone adder]

No prob

[inland lichen]

Is the new arbites class dlc or are they just selling skins for it?

[clear plume]

Paid dlc and I think it comes with a few skins

Could be wrong about that part

[graceful raptor]

i think they sell it like this:

1. class
2. pack class+skins
3. just skins for arbites

[hoary lichen]

ye its like kar said

[keen flume]

Upgrade DLC is pretty much those only bought the base Arbites DLC

And they want to get the extra cosmetics without having to buy the Deluxe

[true gust]

I think I'll just buy the extra skins, I'll get the class later

[keen flume]

Cosmetics first, character later

[true gust]

skins get wins

yknow, I wonder if theres someone out there that has every single cosmetic

the drip is probably immaculate

[vague bronze]

Can someone explain me the point of plasma gun?

After returning to the game and my fav recon lasgun - i listened to howls about how OP plasma is and decided to give it a try now(Since the last try i tried it was on release when it damaged health).

And... It's... 'meh' tier gun.
It's clearly supposed to one-two shot everything that is not ogryn(Considering how heavy it fire restrictions are), but in takes 4 shots to kill the mutant, even more to kill crusher. It worse than recon lasgun at killing elites, lol!

Am i doing something wrong or it's just reddit- and forumtards?

This is my plasma

[patent rapids]

braced autogun better

[vague bronze]

Better than plasma?

[latent girder]

i'd ask in the actual vet class chat, get more of a response other then "this other gun is better"

[vague bronze]

Hm. Will duplicate

[zealous dome]

You're doing something wrong

Wrong Perks for plasma as well

[hoary lichen]

is there a specific mission thats the fastest to level up weapons?

[abstract ocean]

Hey can anyone help me hit Havoc 25. Just want the armour set lil got the head and torso but cant hit 25 to get the final part with randoms im on EU servers

[true gust]

The fastest to level up weapons is just the highest difficulty you can do, then also sacrificing the weapon you get when you win

[smoky ember]

@lime idol

[lime idol]

change perks
unarmored + flak

[sinful summit]

Plasma is op as people say it is, 1-2 shotting all elites gets kinda stupid when it pierces through like 40 of them
Mutants are not a good measure for ranged weapon efficiency tbh, they have 4000 health and if your gun isnt amazing at maniac, it's a slog. Mutants take 3x damage from melee, which is why it seems like guns aren't good against them, it's cuz they dont have the massive bonus that melee does

If you wanna see it's potency, here's me running a melee vet build and being denied gameplay cuz someone with a plasma left clicked 3 times

[serene zephyr]

Is it crazy to dump cleave targets or cleave damage instead of mobility on the power sword or should I just keep gambling till I get a 60 mobility roll?

[zealous dome]

Cleave Targets is the dump on the Psword

Never dump cleave damage

[serene zephyr]

Someone lied to me then

Said it was mobility

[static swift]

anyone know if they got rid of getting plasteel from salvaging high tier weapons?

[serene zephyr]

Its mobility on assault chain sword right?

[zealous dome]

Yup

[serene zephyr]

Gracias and one final question it’s collateral on recon lasgun?

[zealous dome]

Yes

[serene zephyr]

You’re the goat

[zealous dome]

Because collat on recon only affects stagger and recon is not a stagger weapon

[serene zephyr]

Is it cool if I ping you with dump stat questions in the future?

[zealous dome]

I can't guarantee that I'll be online

You can always check on the respective channels

[ivory gate]

Am I crazy to think that weapon with Penetration is a must for Auric/Havoc?

I just feel like Lasguns aren't going to cut it with the amount of Carapace enemies thrown at you

ranged weapons should be the only thing to deal with carapace

and all melee weapons can deal with carapce

[ivory gate]

Good fucking lord

I think I get the Havoc appeal now

It's that 4-man-in-vc, full comms, ultra min-maxed build

It's like GTFO

[true gust]

I absolutely want to try it someday, it seems really goddamn fun

[ivory gate]

Getting more talents points sounds fun

[keen flume]

If you want the true masochist experience, play with randoms with no team coordination

[fickle ether]

Would break whatever sort of balance this game has left. With the base 30 outside of maybe h40-30 the game is super easy once you understand what your doing.

And even then half of what makes high havoc hard is boss rng and if it feels like spawning 5 on you at the same time.

[ivory gate]

Wait did I misunderstand your initial message? Does progressing your Havoc missions give you more talent points or not?

Like above level 30

[clear plume]

It does not

30 talent points is max

Nothing changes at player level 30

Havoc level (clearance) is how high you played havoc

[ivory gate]

Gotcha

[quasi flint]

Quick question, as it now occured to me due to ar-bee-tee being released. Do normal pings override the Veteran' keystone ones?

If they do, it might be problematic when throwing the dog at people requires a double-ping

[fickle ether]

Dont think so vets tag keystone has higher priority than other pings and can override already pinged stuff.

[ivory gate]

I honestly don't mind if they make veteran tag keystone a double tap tbh

[ivory gate]

Oh can two characters not stack a ping on a character?

Like I thought arbites dog will work regardless of veteran keystone ping or not

[keen flume]

Probably wont even override the veteran yellow mark tbh

and is gonna be tied to arbites only

Though that means the dog will deal more damage to pounced enemy

[quasi flint]

Yeah, what I am slightly worried about is a situation like: vet pings, then arbite pings to toss a dog and due to wonky coding that might remove the damage bonus effectively wasting Vet's cooldown and stacks

[keen flume]

I doubt that will be the case, the double tag might just be visible and applied to the arbites who tagged only for themselves and not shared to the team

Guess we will have to wait, too bad the extended gameplay did not shown anything in detail

[ivory gate]

It's low-key underwhelming lmao

Like we got to see more of what they do but barely anything happens

[fickle ether]

They really didnt showcase the dog the best didnt even use the double ping system for the dog once that whole video.

[inland lichen]

How optimized does one's build and gear have to be to do havoc assignments?

[woeful ruin]

The +3 stamina curios need to be at least 410 for full effect, right? Or was it 400? 420?

[leaden fjord]

410 is right

[ivory gate]

In the smelter mission, is the elevator right before the main room a secret?

There are pustules you can shoot up top but the door still won't open

[fickle ether]

Yep that's a skull puzzle after you shoot the tendrils from above you jump down and the button next to the door works now and you can get inside to pick the skull up

If you ever need help with the skull puzzles this is a good place to start https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3194249338&searchtext=skull

[ivory gate]

What's the best stat to dump on duelling swords? Cleave dmg?

[smoky ember]

yah

[vague bronze]

When i mean 'elites' i do not consider gunners and shotgunners. They are barely a threat and actually just a regular enemy.

I consider ragers, crushers, maniacs, etc. And if gun that supposed to deal a lot of damage takes longer to kill them than lasgun(With weakspots) - imo gun is shit.

I mean, i got it. Horde clear is cool, yes/ But it's not exactly the thing that you expect from such gun as plasma gun.

I've figured out already that weapon in just misrepresented in the game. Overtuned with cleave and undertuned with raw damage

[keen oracle]

They are literally elites

[jaunty junco]

How does Havoc levels work

do I need to do my levels one by one, or can I join someone else and rank up from it?

[ivory gate]

The help part in the game explained it I think, but basically you gain a havoc level everytime you finish a mission 5 level higher than your current level

And it works in increments

So you gain 2 levels if you do a havoc game 10 levels higher than your level

[jaunty junco]

ahhh

[kindred inlet]

you level up 1 time if you do a mission 1 higher than your current assignment.

theres a little excel table somewhere to show it but idk

[jaunty junco]

I see,

[onyx knot]

will this reduce tox bomber corruption?

[restive cove]

Does playing on higher difficulties get you MORE weapon exp? ( sorry if stupid question )

[sterile magnet]

XP is the same thing as weapon Xp, so whatever amount of Xp you get from a mission is what will contribute to your weapon level

[zealous dome]

Yes

[onyx knot]

[restive cove]

side note, love the name lmfao

What're some good stats/stuff to have on relics? (generally speaking). Trying to make myself a bit more tanky for Heresy and Higher difficulties

[vocal nacelle]

toughness and more toughness

[spare hemlock]

Okay, so I've been playing the game for a few weeks and I'm not getting any of the math around stats and stuff. Especially where weak spots are on enemies.

[graceful raptor]

well, usually in real life if you hit a human in the head real hard, he will most likely die

so head is the weakspot

[spare hemlock]

Yeah, I got that, but is that how it works in the game?

[graceful raptor]

game tried to represent it

[spare hemlock]

Okay. Gotcha. What about on armored enemies?

[graceful raptor]

also when you deal damage, you see different marks on your uhhh

how is it calls

in the center

white dot

[spare hemlock]

Right. Red, Yellow, and White

[graceful raptor]

red means you killed the enemy

[spare hemlock]

Got that.

[graceful raptor]

others are hit, crit, and so on

[spare hemlock]

Gotcha.

[smoky ember]

all enemies except beasts of nurgle have their weakspots on their heads

beasts of nurgle’s weakspot is the pimple on their back

maulers are unique though

as they have carapace heads and flak bodies

so if you have a good carapace weapon, you’ll deal more damage to the head

but if not, you’re better off aiming for the body

[inland lichen]

What is a dump stat? Wouldn't leveling up every weapon to 500 rating max out the stats?

[clear plume]

stats only max at 80 per slot, and weapons only add up to 380

so 4 of them will be 80

and 1 60

the dump is the one you want 60, the least effective

[spare hemlock]

I figured that out after some testing with various weapons. Blunt weapons seem to damage them better than blades. Shotguns work too, but Lasweapons and autoguns don't effect them as well. Right? or am I wrong?

[inland lichen]

I understand. Is there a way to move that around, or is it RNG?

[clear plume]

number on left is current stats, and right is max stats when fully empowered

[zealous dome]

It's weapon dependant really

[inland lichen]

Yes. But is there a way to move those around, or is literally just luck?

[clear plume]

luck

[inland lichen]

Oh god

[clear plume]

rng when bying

[inland lichen]

Is there a resource to refer to for which weapons should ideally have what dumpstat?

[latent girder]

90% of the time it's either mobility or defense

[clear plume]

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

I have a list of weapon dumps and setup for zealot in my guide

[latent girder]

and outside of some very specific weapons it should apply just fine across the classes

[clear plume]

[smoky ember]

you can view the weapon breakdown in the inspect menu

[polar forum]

Oh. Hello there. Remember me?

[inland lichen]

Am terrible with names.

[polar forum]

Rip well I think we talked a bit back in Enlisted days

[minor crane]

not exactly gameplay help, but i cannot switch my loadout to slot 3. am on ps5. i can cycle through all the others just fine, but it will not change to the cosmetics and weapons i chose when i get to the third one. i think the talent tree does change though

tried going back to character select and also tried closing the game completely, no dice

nvm i think i just fixed it? i think i had a bugged curio equipped?

[crimson swift]

Has Vigil Station Oblivium been added back to map rotation? Or is it still being fixed?

[gleaming mantle]

what does "ignore hit mass bonus from armor" mean? referring to the perfect strike blessing found on the Heavy Sword

[fickle ether]

So normally crushers and maulers have melee bounce off them. The ignore body mass bypasses that

[gleaming mantle]

is my damage utterly shafted after bypasses the bounce?

or does it just ignore the guy and go on with cleave damage?

(trying to figure out if it's worth ignoring armor on crits)

[zealous dome]

Depends on the weapon

Sort answer no

[gleaming mantle]

why not?

[zealous dome]

Still uses cleave damage distribution

If the carapace enemy is the first target
Then you'd cleave him
And the second target would take second target damage

[gleaming mantle]

makes sense

speaking of, does Deathblow (ignire enemy hit mass on weakspot kill) really help with crowds? you'll hit more enemies, but if you're already doing crowd clear then you're probably hitting your max number of targets for dealing damage readily enough, plus the reduced damage for each cleave, right?

[lime idol]

x25% target mass when u hit them (essentially 4x cleave on crit attack)

Also crit attacks can cleave through carapace

[smoky ember]

4x cleave and able to cleave carapace

[stoic frigate]

So I just bought like 8 random grey heavy stubbers from Brunt, all Kourk. I've got level 20 heavy stubbers mastery, am rank 26. How/when do I get access to the gorgonum and achyls?

[smoky ember]

and bulwark shields

[smoky ember]

deathblow is a mandatory blessing on hsword and combat axes

[gleaming mantle]

but does it still have reduced damage per cleave?

[stoic frigate]

Ah nvm I figured it out, you change weapon marks via inventory, I've been gone awhile

[zealous dome]

It deals first target damage to 4 targets on spot kills

If the weapon still have enough cleave, the 5th target will take second target damage

[smoky ember]

let’s you kill 4 enemies per swing, as ignoring enemy hitmass on it actually means your damage distribution is not affected at all

[bold juniper]

Hello, I was hoping to get some pointers on farming mats. Ive gotten to level 30 with all of my characters and am now trying to max out my masteries for each weapon. But i need more plasteel and diamantine. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Play the highest diff you can win 90% of the time and pick every loot.

Normal Damnation is the best farm if you can do it.

Also h40 weekly box.

Alrighty, is H40 Havoc 40? Ive seen stuff about havoc levels but haven't really done much with them.

Doing atleast one havoc a week will help in the grind of mats by alot

[supple finch]

God roll? Gonna change some things on it but man the stats

[void forge]

You want stability or mobi dump

Ammo affects mag size and max ammo, stopping power is damage

[graceful raptor]

how much is crit dmg by default

[void forge]

It's on a weapon by weapon basis

You can check the weapon's Crit mods using the in game weapon attack breakdowns

Some attacks may even have a different finesse mod from other attacks on the same weapon (pokes vs slices)

Finesse is weakspot and Crit damage (they are the same multiplier, but Crits actually do more damage because of the innate rending they get)

[graceful raptor]

you just cant say "different on each weapon"?

i aint reading all this essay

[void forge]

Well it's a complicated topic and I'm not sure how much info you want

[graceful raptor]

as little as possible

Is mastering every weapon worth the trouble or is it just a way to pad penance progression?

[polar forum]

yes you'll want to master most weapons

and then all of them eventually

it's not just for penances. penances for weapon mastery is just the cherry on top

[true gust]

mastering a weapon means you get to edit them as much as you desire, and make a perfect version of each weapon

well, perfect until we get the final rarity of equipment

when u join a new section of the game how does the enemies work? do they respawn? or are they just gone?

if so how do those solo games work

like i see ppl run though it all, and not respawn later

[vocal nacelle]

They travel with you they have their own door, enemies in darktide rarely respawn except demontoast

zealot with knife can outrun most enemies, game have spawn limit that mean there's no enemy spawn infront

[severe loom]

so when i leave them they just spawn in the next wave until it reaches the spawn limit?

[vocal nacelle]

Maybe, sometimes you can break the spawn

Never tried it not a zealot player, but i heard you can do it

[vernal plaza]

They just chase you until the ends of earth
They have their own magic door

[woeful ruin]

Is it normal on Damnation to immediately go from half health and full toughness to dead with just a few poxwalkers around you? Or is this server lag and multiple earlier hits catching up all at once?

[void forge]

If you are low on toughness, yes

3 hits as a psyker, down

Depending on the enemies

1 hit as a psyker can leave you with 0 toughness quite often

[woeful ruin]

Vet with 200 toughness, full bar.

Didn't see that happen on Heresy.

[void forge]

Poxers will do about 80 damage on damnation, so if you had no TDR then 3 hits would almost kill you

If you were using iron will/gold toughness then maybe a few more hits

[clear plume]

Veteran only gets toughness damage reduction

So if they have no toughess they get destroyed

Short answer you cant. Long answer is they were part of a old event called Communication Breakdown active during April 24 2025 - May 8 2025. Why FS added them to that penance no clue classic FS. Guess they mean to bring them back some way or how

[gloomy lance]

If I am playing Havoc and encounter the Twins as havoc lieutenants, if I kill them can another pair spawn during the same mission?

[fickle ether]

They can only spawn once

[gloomy lance]

massive

[fickle ether]

It's about a 80% chance they show up on h40 so you dont always fight them

[gloomy lance]

h24 currently

[fickle ether]

Closer to 50 then I would image

[gloomy lance]

seeing them on most missions, plaguefather hates us

[vocal nacelle]

Woe 8 purple + red bulwarks

[inland lichen]

Where do I find radio operators?

[vocal nacelle]

you cant

its event exclusive enemy

[true gust]

they'll probably be back, eventually. or removed from the thing, who knows

[little coyote]

they've done event enemies before and added them to the normal rotation, it'll happen with them as well 100%

Daemon Hosts, Twins and Blight Grenadiers

And well sort of Admonition Champions (Dreg Captains), they were originally introduced in the Rolling Steel update and only in that mission iirc

[true gust]

I do wish they would crouch down and actually use their radio rather than just flex and scream to make one million nasty boys attack my city

And wishing that they weren't just bald and tall gunners

[polar forum]

yes it did lmao. the power stats don't matter, barring the one exception i specified.

when people ask for curio stat caps, they're asking for the max values that the curios provide

if you were asking for the utterly meaningless power value (aside from the exception, once again), you prob should've indicated as such

[true gust]

Melk can give stat capped curios, but it's much rarer than it should be honestly

I'd actually have a use for all the melk tokens if every curio he sold was a max rolled one

[polar forum]

Yeah too bad the curio gambling system is ass

[inland lichen]

No. You really didn't.
I already knew what the max values were. I was asking if Sire Melk's curio rewards can actually hit that max value.
I frankly don't remember who you were in a different server, but it's clear you lack the ability to comprehend a question.

[stoic locust]

First, chill
Second, they did answer the question, the stats they gave you can roll off of melk

[inland lichen]

Coincidentally, I dumped 2 characters' worth of the weekly reward ingots and now I have 2 maxroll toughness curios for my new character.

[inland lichen]

mrw of you asserted to have answered a question I asked and would be the one to decide if it was satisfactory.
In the original question, it is already apparent that I've been trying to maxroll curios- Meaning I already have knowledge of the statcaps.
What I was asking was if Melk could hit those statcaps. Something I now already know the answer to several hours after the question was originally posted.

[polar forum]

You asked an extremely common question to which I provided the answer.

It's not my problem the question you actually had in mind wasn't the question you actually wrote out.

I don't expect every discord denizen to be sunshine and rainbows but next time feel free not to be a curt ass when someone takes the time to respond to your ambiguously worded question

[polar forum]

I was more inclined to help you because of our prior acquaintance, but I see that’s a mistake now

[true gust]

I dumped 30k tokens on random rolls from melk and I got absolute shit, not a single useful thing

[inland lichen]

Hey, you provided an incorrect answer to a question you didn't understand, then asserted you actually answered it. But if being told you got it wrong is offensive, I don't know what to tell you.

[inland lichen]

Is there a table of possible drops from random gear from Melk?

Or should I just assume it's the same as the rewards from difficulty 5 matches?

[true gust]

it's purely random, all greys, drops stuff that's appropriate for your character's level

[inland lichen]

Grey?

I've only ever used Melk for the random curios. His random weapons can also give out grey gear?

[true gust]

I'm pretty sure it's all grey, cause if it was any higher you could spend all your tokens to just boost weapon masteries

curios probably can't be grey, but they can't be sacrificed either

[velvet fulcrum]

What mode do you think has the highest likelyhood of no players going down in a mission

[stoic locust]

None one them

It’s player roulette always

[velvet fulcrum]

This achievement is killing me

[stoic locust]

Only advice for dream team is ignore it or get some friends

[velvet fulcrum]

being stuck at 35/36 completion for like 150 hours is brutal

[stoic locust]

Hey I’m at nearly 700 and don’t have it

[velvet fulcrum]

I got 53

[stoic locust]

No idea where I’m at

Low 80’s or something

Or high 90’s

[velvet fulcrum]

I'm at 240, I just finished all the other achievements a long time ago

[stoic locust]

I’m missing long bomb, cliffhanger, and everything stun grenade related

Because nothing will make me complete those

[velvet fulcrum]

long bomb isn't hard if you just toss it straight up while in a horde lol

[stoic locust]

Yeah but that means running frags

[velvet fulcrum]

i like frags more than krak

[stoic locust]

Which means playing left tree vet

Which is not fun for me

I am a smokes enjoyer

[velvet fulcrum]

meh, it's like 1 point to get back to middle

im grinding smokes rn, can't wait to be done with them lol

[stoic locust]

1 point I could spend on loaded bottom tree

And I usually play weapon spec so I need to take agile

So that’s like 3 for a straight cut right

[velvet fulcrum]

i just prefer the tag

simpler

[stoic locust]

Expensive

And not as fun

[velvet fulcrum]

middle and left bottom have a ton of generally useful talents

right is just crit

love me bonus weakpoint

[stoic locust]

Just crit isn’t bad

It’s actually really good

[velvet fulcrum]

I'm not a gmabling man

[stoic locust]

It’s not gambling if it’s 100%

And it’s not really gambling in the first place

You attack so much it’s basically a dps increase with extra steps and intricacies

[inland lichen]

Does the Zealot throwing knives have an aoe? I've been trying to use them for the bullseye penance and it looks like they're destroying bottles next to the ones I need to destroy

[little coyote]

probably not an AOE per se, but rather just a larger hitbox than the object itself

[stoic locust]

They’re big

It’s like throwing bricks

Most sniping weapons are like this

[polar forum]

Let me spell it out for you. The question you actually wrote was completely different from the question you were trying to ask. I answered the question you wrote . But somehow, it's my bad that I didn't read your fucking mind and answer the question the you had failed to write out.

All this would have been totally fine, if you simply didn't act like you have a stick up your ass.

Normally people asking for help will at least put on a veneer of civility, but I suppose you're above all that.

I'm not wasting anymore time on this.

Consider this a warning to the next poor bastard who is just trying to help but didn't bend over backwards to figure it out what the actual question is.

[void forge]

This reminds me of that time I answered a guy's question and because he didn't like the answer he immediately called me esl

[coral relic]

is max weapon 550?

[kindred inlet]

500

[polar forum]

It's a meaningless stat anyways

You can have sub 500 power weapons that are more powerful than 500 power weapons

All that matters are the actual weapon stats, perks and blessings

[proper moth]

Is rending just armor pen? And should I use a talent ppoint on it for veteran?

[zealous dome]

Shortest answer

Rending is more damage to flak, carapace, unyielding and Maniacs

Depends on the weapon if you use a point for that talent

[proper moth]

For The recon lasgun

[polar forum]

Yeah if you can fit it into the build it's a good take

[proper moth]

Cool ty

[polar forum]

For stuff like bolter and plasma not worth

Unless your melee needs it

[tidal light]

So I guess it would be good habit to save ranged weapons for elites?

With exception for weapons made to deal with crowds: The Flamer, Boltgun, Bolt Pistol etc.

I watch Havoc 40 gameplay sometimes and that seems to be the case

[latent girder]

of those only really the flamer is made to deal with crowds

[fickle ether]

Havoc 40 plays a bit different from base game due to ammo pick up nerfs. You can save ranged weapons just for elites and bosses but in a normal game there's enough ammo to go around to shoot off a fodder or two behide the team

[latent girder]

the boltgun and to a lesser extend the bistol can wipe crowds , but aren't really ment to be used for mag dumping regualr hordes (hordes of elites is a different story though)

[tidal light]

Ah, fair. My goal for now is to do well in Damnation.

Though an issue I have is overusing my ranged weapon, Bistol and uhhh shredder gun. Because it's easier to take down elites that way, especially when they're stupidly far away. But I also want to learn the movement mechanics that allow flow like this like omg.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9EP0Ci9CRY

Oh good embeds are disabled for me

LIke...how do I move like that. I notice that they swing their melee for a little more speed.

[fickle ether]

Heavy attacks on knife give extra movement speed

[tidal light]

Right and you can charge heavy attack while sldiing so that makes sense.

[fickle ether]

Yep the slide lets you save stm while still getting the speed buff that comes from the heavy attack

[tidal light]

Should I aim to have a pattern for when I attack hordes? like with dueling sword, light atack light attack push, light attack, light attack push etc

[fickle ether]

You can do that depending on each weapons combo. Each and every weapon works a bit different in that way just something you kinda learn as you play. There are guides out that can help or you can always ask in one the class chats how best to use whatever weapon your looking to run.

[tidal light]

Gotcha

[smoky ember]

depends on weapon and class, but weapon combos aren’t as important in darktide as they were for vermintide

most of the combos are pretty easy

like mk15 evis, or rashad combat axe, are super simple to use

[sharp compass]

is everyone else experiencing severe lag recently while playing?

[nova stump]

Dt and vt2 have been unplayable for the last days

I can't go above auric heresy

I can't dodge

Crazy input rejection

Sound breaks

Everything

[late valley]

Isn't VT2 Peer to peer

[hollow phoenix]

I have max mastery but all are still unavailable except the 2 equipped haven’t played in a bit was something changed that i missed

[true gust]

yeah VT2 is peer to peer, sounds like a problem on your end more than FS

[late valley]

Did you buy the blessings in the mastery tab?

[sharp compass]

had a real laggy and spotty playthrough just now

[true gust]

yeah you gotta go claim the masteries in the page for em

[paper zenith]

I keep getting kicked out of games

[sharp compass]

i did an sfc recently and it helped and changed my ethernet cable as well and played today and it has to be their servers cuz of the upcoming update

[hollow phoenix]

Omg I’m an idiot I forgot about that

[sly jungle]

is there a list of stuff like finesse does? Mean strength seems easy enough to understand

[vocal nacelle]

Check kuli guide on steam

[sly jungle]

thank you!

[vocal nacelle]

That guide is the most accurate stuff for explanation

[sharp compass]

just ran one and it ran like butter. its updates

[lime idol]

here
covers everything

[fleet crest]

I could have swore that happened to me a few nights ago, when my shots and hits were not registering

I had to restart my computer and do sneaky optimizations to get the game running a bit better for me

[leaden lion]

how do i kill bulwark packs w/ relic blade?

well, bulwark packs + extra

like flamers and crushers

4+ bulwarks

in front

[shadow skiff]

You pull out your flamer and burn them all. Or activate it and hope for the best.

[leaden lion]

well i don't like running flamer

but ig ill just hop off rb and run knife and flamer

[shadow skiff]

Could have the party help though.

[leaden lion]

i am running solo

[shadow skiff]

Ah. Then if you rather not flamer, it just relies on activated blade and hoping to not hit shields. Or tknoife cancel bolter to open them up to activated relic or so.

[leaden lion]

i dont use bolter either

[vocal nacelle]

solo with bots?

[leaden lion]

no

[vocal nacelle]

or solo with pubs

[leaden lion]

no bots

[vocal nacelle]

true solo?

[leaden lion]

only me

yes

[vocal nacelle]

ah

then you just need to kite them until you can hit one of the opened bulwark

[leaden lion]

mkay

thanks

[vocal nacelle]

long kiting game

[clear plume]

My best tips for anti bulwarks is ledges and barrels if you dont want to use ranged weapons, most of my solo runs I save yellow barrels or know paths where bulwarks drop down/climb up in that state they dont have their shield covering them. Another option is the combat shotgun, all of them stagger bulwarks with the special shell, even if you hit the shield

and they have decent unyield damage

[little coyote]

stun nades would probably make them trivial but I reckon you're running throwing knives

[leaden lion]

thanks!

[leaden lion]

yes

[vocal nacelle]

whats your ranged weapon

[leaden lion]

shredder autopistol/heavy laspistol

[vocal nacelle]

i dont remember autopistol can stagger bulwark or not

[clear plume]

It can but not without them already being opened for a bit

Since it takes a bit of bullets iirc

Around 20+

[vocal nacelle]

yea i use braced auto usually and shoot after they swing to open

[inland lichen]

How much of an angle does blocking cover? Can you block attacks outside your screen?

[vocal nacelle]

360 but side, rear block consume more stamina

[stoic locust]

If you look at an attacking enemy while reviving a downed player it costs less stamina

[weak stratus]

So whats the general gist for high havoc when it comes to toughness vs HP curios? What is concidered "bis" ?

[stoic locust]

Toughness no question

[weak stratus]

thats what i have been running but the more i look around the more i see people using x3 max hp 😄

[ivory birch]

Odd

It’s just easier to regen toughness

[vocal nacelle]

Still toughness

You get oneshotted by crusher overhead anyway

Toughness is for gunner squad

[smoky ember]

sometimes taking 1 hp curio can meet a certain breakpoint when it comes to sniper or buster damage, but really it’s best to take more toughness, or stamina
