[paper nest]

was wondering this too

they must have it on longer cooldown

or its a glitch

[hazy finch]

Same issue.

Have you played a mission since you logged on?

[floral mortar]

i've done 3 of them

on auric

[hazy finch]

Okay just trying to rule it out I haven't done one yet since the patch.

[stoic locust]

I think you just have to click around for it

[floral mortar]

nah i clicked every single of of them

no maelstrom i guess

[zealous dome]

It's not gone

What's happening is

That there's no auric maelstrom available at the time you looked for it

For example
There's a heresy mael up rn, if I change the difficulty, it disappears

But

Why's there no auric maelstrom

Are they rotating as well

[floral mortar]

except

ur wrong

there was one but it was hidden

for no reason

because now its there

[wanton flame]

Orthus Offensive
maybe you already know maybe not, but i will leave it here

[floral mortar]

thats not what were talking about here tho

[floral mortar]

also for aslong as the game has had maelstrom they have been up 24/7

makes no sense to make them limited

[wanton flame]

i even did care what are you talking up soo... i just drop it

[floral mortar]

bro that sentence doesn't even make sense

[zealous dome]

A play tester confirmed that it just disappears every now and then

Probably means it'll be hotfixed soon

[floral mortar]

oh well

[true fox]

OK, thank you for the info,

[raw sage]

How does the mechanic of the arbites shield block work? does it only block when you're blocking? Or do incidental shots from your side with the shield get blocked too?

[patent jasper]

Only when you hold block you are actually blocking otherwise it’ll just hit you normally , bullets are blocked from a certain degree angle infront of you while you hold block

[raw sage]

ty!

[gleaming mantle]

does Shock and Awe (reduced enemy hit mass) on Thunder Hammer increase the number of enemies you can deal damage to when cleaving?

I've heard it deals damage to a maximum of 3 enemies, but cleaves enough to stagger many more. does reduced enemy hit mass increase that maximum?

[quasi pelican]

Any suggestions for the best mark of combat shotgun?

[gleaming mantle]

the 3 variants are useful for different reasons, just a matter of preference. mk8 for slug special shells, with lowest damage but highest ammo; mk6 for burn special shells, with moderate damage and ammo; mk9 for staggering specials shells, lowest ammo but highest damage.

[zenith willow]

Hey guys. Is the dog's action "Pounce" defined as when it just jumps on anyone, like when it just does it on its own, or is it only specifically when I command it to jump on someone?

[shadow skiff]

When it pounces on anything. If you mean that node, it's basically always on in a fight.

[zenith willow]

ok nice. thanks.

[full stone]

Anyone know why whenever I alt tab and alt tab back into the game my fps drops horribly to around 35 ish for like like 20+ seconds. It eventually goes back to 120+ after staying tabbed in

[rigid wasp]

What are the blessings most have on the Spearhead?

[shadow skiff]

This happens to most games not coded to run in the background to save on resources.

You are probs also playing fullscreen over borderless or so.

[shadow skiff]

You are better off asking in the class chats on that. Check pins for guides first.

[viral niche]

hey guys any recommendations on best way to mastery grind all the weapons?

should i always be trying to quickplay auric?

[lone adder]

Buy a bunch of weapons you wanna level, consecrate them to green rarity, then sacrifice them to get more levels

[vocal nacelle]

be rich and dump 20- 30K plasteel on lvl 30

[stoic locust]

Not even close to 30k plasteel

[viral niche]

ty guys

[ashen junco]

Does the 10 consecutive aurics without dying pennance mean that the aurics themselves must be consecutive (as in you couldnt do a damnation mission between them), or does it simply mean that you just have to not die for 10 aurics with any amount of non-auric missions inbetween?

[clear plume]

just aurics in a row

you can do normal inbetween

[ashen junco]

Okay dope

Was a bit worried that i wouldnt be able to play with my friend without dragging her in to aurics lmao

Ty

[wanton frigate]

game told me I need to finish battle for tertium 15, 17 to be able to play auric maelstrom again. Does this mean I need to do like 17 different missions in campaign?

[warped basin]

started dropping frames after the update, especially when nuncios are dropped, which setting would I lower for minimal visual loss to keep my frames?
you'd think it would be something like "effects" but I see no option related to that

[queen notch]

Hello. I just started playing but if I understands the crafting correctly, the main aim to get 80% on all bonuses even if it is a low level weapon?

[keen oracle]

You can ignore it on low level weapons. Stats don't have much impact. Best to save resources for later, when you get to level 30, you'll get higher rated gear in the store

Typically, darktide weapons have a "dump stat" which can be lower than the rest since it has little impact. Typically, defences/mobility/warp res/collat but there are exceptions.

Your weapon would look like 80/80/80/80/60

[warped basin]

adding to what's been said, what you can do is check the armory or Melk (when unlocked) from time to time for a weapon which has the stat cap for stats you want at 80, buy it, then craft it to max once you have a level 30 character so you can focus on making the build you want - or wait, buy one at higher power later (armory scales with your level somewhat) and spend less to craft it higher
you cannot reach the max potential on low level weapons anyway until your mastery is high enough to be able to be able to push the weapon to 500 overall power (max) at Hadron
try out all the weapons and variants so you can find ones you like, stats are irrelevant until you have a level 30 character playing Heresy/Damnation/Havoc

[raw sage]

What's the technique behind the indignatus crusher's block-shove attack? Comments all point out the high finesse and weak point damage but I'm having a hard time nailing headshots with it because of the angle of its uppercut usually hitting a limb or something else first

[clear plume]

Aim up while being a little back from your target

Doesn't always need to hit heads to get value from finesse since it's crit damage as well as weakspot damage

[raw sage]

Aaah, gotcha. So stack talents that do crit chance/damage to maximize finesse then?

[clear plume]

Both classes use crusher the same way

Build attack speed and crit

And spam push attacks for single target

[raw sage]

I was noticing that without crits my L2 H1 combos were doing more damage than the push shove attack

[clear plume]

I'm uploading my crusher Arby's havoc 40 tonight if you want to see that playstyle

For zealot I already have my vdieo

[raw sage]

Tag me when you do, I'm interested!

[clear plume]

I'm going to sleep soon but here

[raw sage]

Zealot was the only class I neve bothered playing much of so this is basically me learning a new weapon haha

[clear plume]

https://youtube.com/@ainzdt?si=wY_2Sa1hM26vja6I

I think it said an hour or 2 to upload

[raw sage]

Ty!

[clear plume]

My 1st vid was a crusher solo on a monstrous maelstrom

https://youtu.be/GjrQtdy4bMY?si=zbWXqCp_0BPtdJQN

Look at that timing

[queen notch]

Thanks @warped basin & @keen oracle. Another thing, is there a place where I can read more about the different stats and other effect (mobility or cleave for example)?

[warped basin]

open your loadout, select a slot (melee/ranged), click on one of your weapons, I think V is inspect, hover over each stat

gives you somewhat of an idea about what each one does, also the weapon's attack pattern

[fickle ether]

Games Lantern has a very helpful database you can go over not sure it has everything up to date with the new class but should have most of all basic info you'll need https://darktide.gameslantern.com/modifiers

[cloud adder]

Which is "better"?
High Voltage with +25% damage vs electrocuted enemies
or
Execution with +20% Damage BONUS vs staggered enemies?

[little coyote]

shock maul I presume

then both

[cloud adder]

arbiter one, ye
Using atm brittelness and the high voltage because it has +5% more
But wonder if the bonus from execution gets calculated different and might be therefor better

[little coyote]

I've not done any testing with carapace yet but I feel like the Execution goes harder. Plus you have lots of ways to stagger and gain bonus from stagger

but I've run using both High Voltage and Execution for the most part

[cloud adder]

will test that combo then, +45% sounds nice

[cloud adder]

works great! thanks

[little coyote]

Nice to hear 🫡

[ionic fern]

there is a special event going on
but how to start or gain progression in this one 💜 ?

ohh wait think i found it already there are Special event markers on the mission board
i am as blind as a zealot on rage 💜

[sharp shuttle]

cant find technical issue channel so apologize in advance

anyone else experiencing slow loading textures? happens a lot, mostly on big sized units like ogryns etc

[tacit canopy]

Servers crashing for me I’d guess

[stoic scarab]

anyone else getting stuck on loading screen after finishing a mission?

[ashen herald]

anyone else suddenly locked to 1080p and windowed borderless is gone as a display option?

[frosty crag]

is there a way to unlock these perks by sacrificing the weapon like the old days or do i just need to unlock the blessings? why is the magnifier glass still there like it used to be?

[acoustic zephyr]

yo partypeople... im kinda "new" to the game got around 60 hours, i started as a OGRYN and unlocked auric yesterday and did GOOD with him, barely died.

now i wanted to try another class, i leveld a PSYKER to 30 and tried like 5 or more differnet builds
but all of them dont make me any close to happy. im DYING in T4 like im a fkng ant they step on..

ogryn made me addicted to this game and psyker kills it for me, im almost in a uninstall mood.

IS THERE ANY "BEGINNERFRIENDLY" PSYKER BUILD WHICH IS HARD TO KILL?? Q_Q

i tried the most recent most liked GANDALF melee psyker build which feels better then the caster variants.

but at the end ofthe mission i did nothing thanks to scoreboard.

[late valley]

I think your issue is you went from the tankiest class to the squishiest

However psyker can have phenominal damage output

I'd say best to ask in #psyker-class for some tips and stuff

[slender sleet]

guys no more maelstrom missions or am i blind?

[lean grove]

Also, why can't we access the karnak twins offensive mission, by itself, anymore? I still have penances for it.

[sly ocean]

hi how do i fix maelstrom missing

[lean grove]

maelstrom does show on the map, from time to time. It's usually one of the 'special events'. I remember seeing the maelstrom on the board, yesterday

[late valley]

fatshark ated it

[sly ocean]

oh godg without mael i might need to actually play havoc

[lean grove]

IIRC, auric's become it's own difficulty setting, like the others.

[sly ocean]

meh they gotta buff auric if they want it to be its own diff properly

[sly ocean]

:(

wheres my mael.. i need 30 bosses on screen...........

[serene lagoon]

Anybody know what caused me to insta die? @.@
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1151360250788728854/1387941469872066580/Warhammer_40000_Darktide_2025.06.26_-_18.39.49.145.DVR.mp4?ex=685f2cb9&is=685ddb39&hm=184738b7b7478c88e520cd47fc465667a71d4c3403cf7e19416600d528d1e696&

Never died instantly with toughness still on

[clear plume]

was there a captain?

[serene lagoon]

ya

don't tell me shield shenanigans

[clear plume]

yup

shield can 1 shot you

funny bug

I've had that happen to me around like 50 times in the past 2 months

[serene lagoon]

what the, is it when it regens or when im up close to it?

[clear plume]

it sucks

[shadow skiff]

RNG on the board now if you didn't get them via story. Can try RNGing quickplay,

[shadow skiff]

It's if it breaks while you are jumping, mantling or somehow in the air like a pogryn stomp.

[acoustic zephyr]

ehm blessings, its just the same stat like we have on t5 on mastery but twice then`?

[woeful bison]

With the Auric Survivor Penances (Auric Storm Survivor & Untouchable Operative), they state the games have to be consecutive - If the current mods are really bad and I dip to go to something easy to kill time and work on my Melkbucks, will it end my streak?

[shadow skiff]

As long as you play damnation and below, is fine.

Do note, Auric maels count to the purple title one as well.

[woeful bison]

Sweet. I've just had a few spawns of really easy mods, and I'm close enough I don't want to play with a tough one. Thank you!

[acoustic zephyr]

uhm i finaly found a ranged gun i like the recon lasgun, but i guess it shoots so fast + all those burning dots my game crashes? got a 4060 16gb 6000mhz ram amd ryzen 7 7840hs 😦 *edit, it alsmo mightve been something modwise q_q

[fast saddle]

what is dumpstats for shockmaul? i want to forego crowdcontrol rather than mobility.but i read that mobility is the dump stats. help pls

[shadow skiff]

More likely to be mods crashing tbh. Have you tried playing without mods with the same build just to rule it out?

[craggy minnow]

Even if your machine couldn't handle it you'd more likely see frame drops/chugging, seconded as mods

Check the log files they can be helpful

[craggy minnow]

Mobility because mobility 60 gives you the extra dodge and most of the stats, you get almost nothing for the last 20 points

Mobility is a really good stat its just you only ever need 51 points in it lol

[limber pagoda]

Is there an issue with pinging enemies rn?

[vocal nacelle]

not really

but when focus target vet and arbites ping at the same enemies at the same time, there's a chance your game will crash

[shadow skiff]

That should be fixed.

[merry dome]

I really feel like Fatshark stealth tweaked Havoc - I am seeing INSANE boss spawns at the same time like I never have before, in my last 200 hours of havoc.

I’m talking 2 hexbound, twins, burgle, plague ogryn and chaos spawn ALL AT THE SAME TIME

or its bugged, idk but is anyone else feeling this?

[lean grove]

and a partridge in a pair tree.
/s
In seriousness, that sounds absurd and chaotic.

[clear plume]

not bugged normal

you just got unlucky

[vocal nacelle]

there's a certain spot of the map that can do that

[limber pagoda]

I took the dogless node for the Arbitrator and stopped being able to ping enemies

Or it could be the 'ping once for companion attack order', but I dont think thats it

[limber pagoda]

Had 3 plague ogryn spawns in a friend's malice mission

[steep trail]

am I tripping or there's no maelstrom on the auric board?

[kindred inlet]

just how it is. idk but there may be a heresy one still

[steep trail]

did this ever happen before the UI and difficulty rework?

[shadow skiff]

It's likely that. Try turning it to off and play a mission to test?

[limber pagoda]

I did try toggling it mid-mission, and I don't think it still worked

Unless I just happened to miss the ping that time, have to check again

[kindred inlet]

no

[steep trail]

how does this studio fumble something as braindead as maelstrom always available?

[shadow skiff]

FS spaghetti code.

[shadow skiff]

Better to be sure, otherwise probably a good idea to report it anyway. Since it shouldn't be preventing normal tagging on other classes.

[merry dome]

wow really? the ai director is seriously tripping

[honest tangle]

hey guys any one can join my room an help me

[round verge]

how do I increase the average level of items offered by Melk and the store? is it based on what I'm wearing, my level, or what's in my inventory?

I'm 30 and its still 350ish stuff.

[shadow skiff]

That is it. Rest is luck based.

[round verge]

Sorry, to be clear, its only based on my level? Or all of the 3 things I mentioned?

[shadow skiff]

Character lvl 30. The trust lvl of said char is all that matters. 30 is cap, to get 410+ curios is pure luck.

[round verge]

Thank you.

[cloud adder]

Maelstrom fun

[cloud adder]

Does curios level matter?

[cunning pecan]

ok dumb question, I'm clearance level one, but my havoc mission is rank 2 and won't let me launch it, do I need to demote the assignment?

nvm I figured it out

[shadow skiff]

Only for +3 stamina, anything below 410 is fake.

[quasi tree]

anyone have tips/build for the warp battery penance? I can't get it no matter what I try

[shadow skiff]

Rest are basically what you see.

[quasi tree]

Arbiter dogs also end up taking a lot of kills for it as well

[acoustic jetty]

was just wondering if anyone can tell me why darktide is taking up 381gb on my ntfs 2tb ssd

[shadow skiff]

Ask someone to help with a private game on at least heresy for elite/special count. Maybe with a tauntgryn to help by time.

[shadow skiff]

Your ssd might be having issues. I don't think even having all the mods will make it that big. Even if downloading the new update might double the size for abit, that's still way to much used.

[cloud adder]

Oh, there is +3 stamina, Max health is 20%?

[shadow skiff]

+3 stam, 21% hp and 17% toughness.

[acoustic jetty]

I dont use mods and my ssd is actually fine Im not sure why its taking 382gb of space

isnt it supposed to be 71

[shadow skiff]

Wounds are always +1 and are trash on any char barring martyrdom zealots.

[cloud adder]

Could be old files that the patches didn't deleted

[acoustic jetty]

no clue how to fix that

I tried fresh re install of it 2 times tho

[little coyote]

which subfolder takes the most space

[shadow skiff]

I think it's currently more than that but still sub 100gb.

[acoustic jetty]

I'd really like some help with this 382gb issue

when I downloaded it in steam it said 77gb to download

[shadow skiff]

Maybe open the folder after uninstalling and delete anything except the settings file then reinstall. Because it feels like some stuff is either left behind or not getting removed. Or SSD issue and reading it wrong.

[acoustic jetty]

so delete everyting again okay

[shadow skiff]

Or open folder and find the biggest file.

[cloud adder]

What size does it have once uninstalled

[acoustic jetty]

ill wait for the launcher's verify files its at 97% rn

[little coyote]

asking this again

[acoustic jetty]

once uninstalled I get back my 382gb

[shadow skiff]

Check the contents.

[shadow skiff]

Is it okay to ask for brand and details of the SSD?

[acoustic jetty]

yea leme get it for you

https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/hard-drives-&-ssds/solid-state-drives-(ssd)/93499-skc3000d-2048g

thats it there

im australian

[little coyote]

go as deep in the folders until you find the one folder without subfolders that takes that space

[shadow skiff]

Just wanna check if anyone shares similar issues with the same SSD. I'm getting a feeling it's somehow smaller than it claims to be but inflating numbers to feel bigger.

Does this happen to any other games?

[acoustic jetty]

not sure what you mean jerk o matic and no just darktide

[shadow skiff]

Then it's just weird.

[little coyote]

go in the bundle folder, find the next folder that is the largest and repeat until you find a folder with only files in it

[acoustic jetty]

its that next

[little coyote]

yeah, then what's inside the data folder

and so on

[acoustic jetty]

bunch of folders like 01 0a etc

[little coyote]

find the source of the bloat

ah, that'll make it more difficult

[acoustic jetty]

they are all

256 folders

[cloud adder]

Why is FD 360mb but size on disc is 1,52GB?

[acoustic jetty]

idk

gotta brb take my dogs for a walk

[little coyote]

because of Cluster Size, if the setting is set to 2MB for example and the file is 1.1MB, the cluster will take 2MB of space

[acoustic jetty]

dunno what that is

[little coyote]

it's a setting to your SSD

[shadow skiff]

It's supposed to only be like 361 MB.

And likely everything else is being bloated in the same way.

[little coyote]

it ought to be smaller than 2MB by default, something akin to 4KB is more likely but if you've managed to change it during the SSD install it would explain this

[cloud adder]

Can file handling be changed in the SSD settings, under Properties of the D:?

[little coyote]

I can't recall, might need a separate drive management tool

[shadow skiff]

Is something you might want to get actual help with if you don't want to risk bricking it.

[acoustic jetty]

I have no idea what any of this means

[little coyote]

https://www.easeus.com/computer-instruction/ssd-allocation-unit-size.html

google will help you out

[acoustic jetty]

seems I might need to reformat my ssd

although I just downloaded tainted grail fall of avalon today steam said it was 39gb but its 39gb on the same ssd

[little coyote]

Check the allocation unit size before you do, it might just be that

[acoustic jetty]

dunno how to check that

that app said its 2mb

although its money to use it

[little coyote]

I'd help better if I were on a Windows machine at the moment but it's Linux, so I can't give you a step by step but you should be able to change it on the Windows' own Disk Management tool

This here, shown on the article

but yeah it might need a reformat

still, it might be done without data loss

[acoustic jetty]

nope it wiped the drive

its now set to 4096 and im re downloading stuff

[little coyote]

Oh well, hopefully you're not on a very poor internet connection 😅

If you start feeling like your loading times take a lot longer, you might want to try an option somewhere in the middle instead of the smallest or the largest option

it'll use more space but the loading times will be more optimized

[acoustic jetty]

its called Australia our internet is dog poo where ever you live

[little coyote]

Figures

[acoustic jetty]

p.s I want to rename you to nice o matic

[little coyote]

haha, it's fine as is

[acoustic jetty]

its not because your not acting like a jerk

[formal quail]

switching gear sets on arbitrator isn't working for me, not crashing or anything, just not applying the changes.

[ivory gate]

Some questions:

• Do shock mauls have an innate Shocking attack on some of its combos? I noticed that the arbites' Shield+Maul has the Shock property despite its Special being a flash
• If so, is it different for the Arbites' Shock Maul? Since its Special has a clear Electricity effects
• What is the base duration on these "Shock" debuffs?
• Is Arbites' Charge ability a Melee Attack? If so does it benefit from melee attack buffs?

[graceful raptor]

bro wants to know answers when there is still no ingame explanation to what brittleness is since release

https://tenor.com/view/sopranos-sopranos-paulie-laughing-the-sopranos-tony-soprano-gif-23785315

[ivory gate]

Wait so it's pure players' speculation? Fatshark never talked about it??

[cloud adder]

Even in virmintide you needed external mods to see real weapon descriptions
Fatshark is quite cryptic

[keen flume]

Typical Fatshark

[stoic locust]

No we know exactly what it does
Game just doesn’t tell you

[woeful root]

• for shock weapons, if you do a hit that staggers or while the enemy is staggered, that hit inflicts electrocution
• arbites shock maul's special does inflict a different debuff on top of electrocution which is what is doing the damage (no idea if it also applies electrocution itself, but probably)

[little coyote]

thank you mpreg jesus

[woeful root]

yw

[ivory gate]

So there's no reason to pick the "+dmg to staggered" over the "+dmg to electrocuted"

Since stagger on Arbites' Shock Maul = Electrocution

[stoic locust]

Or you take both

[vocal nacelle]

On arbites charge, check kuli guide

[stoic locust]

Because it has like no other good damage blessings

[simple vessel]

How do I unlock auric?

[keen oracle]

Need to win around 10 damnation games iirc

[simple vessel]

Thanks

[keen oracle]

The progress bar is under the difficulty selector

[ivory gate]

True but the toughness on chained hits is too good to miss for me

[stoic locust]

Confident strike is gross and in need of nerfing

[ivory gate]

I tried the 10% toughness on staggers talent and it just doesn't hit the same

[ivory gate]

Damn didn't think they already updated it, barely a week

[sinful summit]

It procs on enemies affected by concussive tho

[ivory gate]

Is Concussive the talent that makes enemies hit considered as Staggered?

[sinful summit]

Yes

[summer pollen]

Is anybodys launcher minmized and cut off like this? Mine has been like this for over a year but Im finally starting to get tired of it. I mod my game but this started before that and uninstalling mods and tons of updates to the game haven't fixed it

[simple vessel]

Can you drag it from the corner?

[summer pollen]

Don't think so but let me try again

I cannot, it only moves the window

[ruby burrow]

guys im current playing darktide via family share, i wanna buy the game so i can buy dlcs as well, will my characters stay the same after i bought the game

[ivory gate]

Should be

To my knowledge Steam's cloud save system is per account basis regardless if it's a family shared game or a game you owned yourself

[craggy minnow]

In this case its your fatshark server data being tied to your steam id but yeah

[craggy terrace]

I have a bug right now that always selects my 1st loadouts weapons, but properly selects the other loadouts talents that I pick. Does anyone know what would be causing this or how to fix it?

[craggy minnow]

Have not heard of that one. Unmodded and files validated?

[cloud adder]

where to find auric mealstrom missions, on damnation?remember top left was at one point auric mission options, but havent been playing a while and everything changed xD

[fickle ether]

You havent unlocked auric yet need to beat like 3 more damnations

You can see the bar in the bottom right below damnation

[cloud adder]

ah, have to unlock again? Ok!
Thanks

[graceful raptor]

FS said auric is a new difficulty now

have to unlock as other difficulties

[limber thicket]

What properties work for Leutenant bosses and do any of the %vs Monstrosity talents work on them?

[vocal nacelle]

Flak+ carapace

[void forge]

Captains and such do not have the monster tag so they will not take extra damage from those talents

[limber thicket]

Alright, thanks

too bad, they're such a pain in havoc :\

[vocal nacelle]

They kinda fragile

If you meet them in the correct way they have 30s lifespan

[limber thicket]

hmm. perhaps, but I guess I'm not running a bosskiller build. I don't even think Arbites has one

[vocal nacelle]

Rinda always overextend in the first 10s

The aggro holder just need to backtrack a bit and let someone hold the horde while 3 people whack rinda

[vocal nacelle]

Arbites have rending shotgun

Or bolter

Or just use good ol melee

[limber thicket]

the special ammo you mean?

[modest marten]

is there a way to replay the orthos offensive mission? i havent gotten al the penances for it yet

[shadow skiff]

Get lucky in quickplay or find someone with MMT.

[modest marten]

whats MMT?

[fickle ether]

https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/175

[modest marten]

i will actually take a look at that

thx

[delicate estuary]

When was the last time scab only+melee enemies only+no ammo pick ups auric maelstrom happened?

Also I am on 4/5 for maelstrom survivor. Will dying in another difficulty reset the streak?

[craggy minnow]

No

Streak penances arent even aware of missions that don't qualify afaik

[limber thicket]

Is Brittleness worth it in Havoc?

[keen flume]

RNG based

[keen flume]

Only when playing Auric Maelstrom

[delicate estuary]

I know, but it seems to be the rarest, while other mods are returniong frequently

[keen flume]

Just have to wait and be lucky that gets on rotation

Some days CIVI is quite common, some others bit rare to see

[rigid wasp]

Just a heads up when your not playing arbite change the ping for companion to ping twice ad it disables pings for the other classes

[woeful ruin]

Is campaign Heresy far easier than regular Heresy or did they reduce Heresy difficulty in general?

[graceful raptor]

campaign is easier than regular missions

[shadow skiff]

Easier, but still luck based.

[karmic moon]

where do i access maelstrom missions?

bc were trying to do havoc and no one apparenntly has an maelstrom mission to access havoc

[zealous dome]

Fatshark ate it

Try changing from Malice to Damnation

See if it shows up

[keen flume]

They really have to fix that

Im looking at Execution for shotgun; dmg bonus vs staggered. Does this bonus apply to the shot that staggered as well?

What is he sayin?

[latent flame]

yet translate to check it, lil rat

[lone adder]

Lil? Sorry Im a big rat

[graceful raptor]

just some kind of catfighting

not really interesting

[lone adder]

Ah unfortunate

[limber thicket]

imagine call of duty chat in 2008

💀

[lone adder]

Ahhhhhh

[graceful raptor]

also good comparison

[sleek kelp]

Plz try n keep it english in the server plz.

[sleek kelp]

Thx, dealt with

[fervent harness]

does anyone know about worker threads and if more or less gets me more fps

[nocturne condor]

is the bolt pistol just objectively the better ranged weapon? I find it hits solidly, accurate at range, pulls out extremely fast and can make decent short work of crushers, ragers and gunners. I struggle to find any other ranged weapon that matches it other than the revolver

[lucid coyote]

Guys does completing campaign missions unlock them on mission board? Or how it's working now? Any way to farm twins mission?

[polar forum]

better compared to what? 🤔

[nocturne condor]

pretty much anything? the only gun to beat it on a per shot damage is the charged plasma

[polar forum]

nah if anything bistol is just mid to good

revolver does higher damage, and has way faster draw

bistol suffers from severe breakpoint issues on vet

seems to be better on arbi

[odd torrent]

Arbi with Castigator stance makes the bistol really strong

but they also make the full on bolter strong too

[polar forum]

a lot of bistol's utility comes from its blessings having very funny interactions with abilities/blitzes

[nocturne condor]

even on aurics and havic it can reliably down specialists and elites in two to three shots, especially with the bleed blessing, on anything lower its a one-shot to die from the dot, two for instant kill

[polar forum]

yeah that's the thing, 2-3 shots is a very big difference in ttk, ammo economy and kills per mag compared to one shot...

[nocturne condor]

I mean, sure if youre using the gun constantly, but just with the revolver, youre not firing it into chaff, and doesnt demand weakpoint hits

[smoky ember]

bolt pistol and revolver demand weakspots

they both are very much finesse weapons

revolver is better than bolt pistol in most situations due to the cleave it has

bolter will outperform bolt pistol, aside from the draw time

flamer is meta on zealot

[ocean raft]

hey guys where do i find the maelstrom missions now? i have 0 maelstrom missions in my hub

[graceful raptor]

seems like they randomly show up

might not show up

or you should beat campaign maybe

or unlock auric

[ocean raft]

well i saw one on my new arbites where i cleared the campain but not auric yet, but on my other characters they don't show up even in auric level, saw a post where a lot of people don't see the maelstrom missions so i was wondering if its bugged perhaps

[graceful raptor]

🤷‍♂️

[ocean raft]

thanks anyways

[lime cargo]

Do Aurics advance Havoc rank? I haven't done any Havoc missions, but my rank is 16

[sly mica]

big questions guys I have a games pass version of darktide i have progress for more than 500 hours but never bought the game, Now steam has darktide for sale I'm i able to bring my xbox account to steam?

[clear plume]

Auric maelstrom jumps you to 16

[lime cargo]

Thanks Ainz 🙂

[clear plume]

Unless they recently changed this (within 2 weeks) they do not transfer accounts

[limber thicket]

what's the difference between clearance and rank?

[clear plume]

Clearance is the highest havoc you have beaten while rank is your current havoc level

[limber thicket]

that must be wrong because I cleared a H15 and got 15 rank and 4 clearance

then I did a H7 and got rank 5

[clear plume]

That checks out

You don't jump ranks anymore

Got a graph, one sec

Makes sense?

[limber thicket]

sort of

thanks)

doesn't really matter, was just curious

[clear plume]

@limber thicket whoops, I meant the reverse

Clearance is current rank, while rank is the highest beaten

[limber thicket]

makes sense

[warm storm]

When looking at a weapon. there is a nuber displayed on each weapon before you select it. I have seen 20, 40, and 50, Is this the weapon level/power? Is higher better?

[clear plume]

I can help in dms so you can send pics

[delicate estuary]

#arbites-class talks about anything but actual class stuff, or when they do I don't get answers, so gotta ask here.

What does arbites maul special attack do exactly and when to use it?

Special seems to apply electric stun and dot. But when to use it?

[stoic locust]

If you want something to stop moving for 5 seconds

Its cleave is abysmal though, don't use it on hordes

It can also be used to hit a 2-tap on crushers via its DoT

[delicate estuary]

As in, apply the dot and forget?

[stoic locust]

If you can hit that breakpoint yeah

[delicate estuary]

I am not sure what you are trying to say

breakpoint for applying the dot?

[stoic locust]

If you have enough damage

[delicate estuary]

[stoic locust]

If you don't have enough damage you won't two shot

[delicate estuary]

Two shot with special?

Or with dot?

[stoic locust]

Same thing

Special inflicts electrical DoT if you hit something staggered

[delicate estuary]

how tf would you kill a crusher with two swings on arbites maul

[limber thicket]

heavy + special

someone showcased it earlier in arby chat

[delicate estuary]

Only seeing videos with 3 attacks kill

[frosty crag]

where do you queue for Maelstrom missions?

[limber thicket]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-the-neat-part-you-dont-invincible-gif-27194608

idk, I haven't seen any maelstroms at all lately, they should be available on the mission board

[lean grove]

Maelstrom appears when you set it for Auric difficulty. Auric has become it's own difficulty

[stoic locust]

Auric maels get eaten as of late

but not heresy maels for whatever reason

[frigid echo]

like dis

[frosty crag]

I just Beat an Auric Maelstrom mission but Dukane is still telling me to finish one? Can someone help?

[vocal nacelle]

i could be you forgot to talk to dukane first

complete another one

[viral niche]

yo whats the best way to farm crafting material?

quickplay on auric?

[fickle ether]

A weekly havoc for the chest rewards then just farm quickplay yea one ill see if I can find the havoc reward list

[rigid wasp]

how do base stats work now? is it still 380 as max or?

i have a 490 combat shotgun but i heard the cap was 380 :(, so it's confusing for me

[viral niche]

@fickle ether Ty! appreciate it

[shadow skiff]

500 power. The cap is the percentages. You get 4x 80 and 1x 60, which after mathing is 380.

[rigid wasp]

ahhh, thank you!

[ashen junco]

Anyone got a link to where i could find info on the crusher's melee combos? Or just for melee weps in general, like what the ogrynomicon has

Just need to know the hordeclear/single target combos for it really/how to use it properly

[polar forum]

zealot pins

there's also a big dedicated crusher guide in the pins

[ashen junco]

[signal steppe]

how do i play maelstrom missions? im trying to do the havoc thing, i just got level 30

/ unlocked auric level

[kindred inlet]

it is on the board marked as "maelstrom" (similar to how some missions are marked "special event")

sometimes there just isnt one tho

[signal steppe]

thats fairly lame lol

[kindred inlet]

i dont think it's on purpose. idk though

[onyx knot]

so what does the (+5) mean here ?

[vocal nacelle]

Modifier list probably

[graceful raptor]

isnt it 5 other people want to play

[delicate estuary]

Thanks. What build does it?

[frigid echo]

i think i was using basically the full-melee build in arbities pins but with Monstrosity Hunter and Strike Down, plus carapace on the maul.

i dont know if all of that is strictly necessary for two shot, but i was just tinkering around

[signal steppe]

well good news i got access to havocs, but theres literally no one queuing, and i need a party to do it?

[vocal nacelle]

yes

you need to use party finder

[simple vessel]

Is anyone else having trouble opening up the xbox app on pc? It's stuck at "opening xbox-app"

[mellow zinc]

Hello. Do we know already which one is the dump stat on the exterminator shotgun?

I'd guess either mobility or stability?

[polar forum]

Mobility

[limber thicket]

getting this crash pretty consistently, any idea what could be causing it?

[restive cove]

Out of curiosity, what's the cap for dockets?

[patent jasper]

highest ive seen posted was 25 million

[fickle ether]

25m is indeed cap

[restive cove]

dang o_o

That's a lot

[fickle ether]

Not too much auric maelstroms give like ~100k dockets for beating them adds up real quick

[polar forum]

lol i have nearly 1k hours in the game and never have enough dockets

[long crypt]

how come i have no auric difficulty, i'm level 30 of arbites i thought you'd get it then unless you need to clear like 10 damnations?

[limber thicket]

it unlocks like all the other difficulty options. gotta grind damnation

[kindred inlet]

you need to clear like 10 damnations

[polar forum]

yeah 10 damnation wins

or auric wins

[slender sleet]

are they gonna update it?

[merry dome]

what level do new players unlock shrine to entreat weapons?

[graceful raptor]

its mission now

do campaign

(i think)

[keen flume]

https://tenor.com/view/the-daily-show-jon-stewart-i-wish-wish-wishing-gif-4204955

[graceful flax]

Best way to grind diamantine?

[stoic locust]

Auric QP

[slender sleet]

same here :c
i though that they were gonna add the armor for the arbites in the same spot as the others but nop sadly

[merry dome]

will doing a mission on heresy count towards a friends campaign prog

[shadow skiff]

If you mean the difficulty unlock bar, yes. Assuming they are on the lower or same difficulty unlock. If you mean campaign mission, you need to do the SPECIFIC mission shown. Progress is shared if you both need the same mission.

[heavy nebula]

I have a quick question, im rlly new to the game and was wondering should I just get my character to level 30 before worrying about builds and all that sort of stuff? I played the game a bit then stopped playing for a while and now after playing vermintide I wanted to try darktide again so ye

[slender sleet]

yeah imo just reach 30 and then u can worry about builds

cause even before that u dotn have enough skill points for the tree

so yeah first 30, then grind some money and materials for weapons and curios etc

GUYS

WHO THE FRICK ARE THE "SCAB RADIO OPERATOR"?

[red ginkgo]

They were a limited time event enemy. Gone now lol

Also came with a little cool hacking mini-game. Something that I hope they add to the base game eventually

[slender sleet]

oooh

i think i didnt met them :c

[midnight kite]

you gruttin' wot

[slender sleet]

which one was the minigame?

[slender sleet]

is it one penance?

[midnight kite]

i just need to collect one scripture lmao

ogryn time t'is

[heavy nebula]

and then is it like in vermintide where I should just craft until I get a weapon thats the max power/gear rating? or should I just wait and check daily in hopes that the weapon I need appears in the daily shop or whatever its called

[keen flume]

Theres currenty the inferno event on, so do the objectives and earn the materials much faster

[slender sleet]

here you dont craft, u can just buy a raw weapon till u get one that you like the stats, but for this you need a lot of money, so yeah i d recommend to just use what the game gives to you after missions

if you do high level mission u can receive good weapons already maxed-ish etc

[heavy nebula]

alright, and then just upgrade its rarity to legendary/yellow and get the perks and blessing I want?

[slender sleet]

yup

[heavy nebula]

(assuming its the weapon I needed)

alright tyyyyyy and sorry if it sounds like a super brain dead basic question

[slender sleet]

exactly

a question is never stoopid

[heavy nebula]

: D

[slender sleet]

enjoy the game mhmh!

[limber thicket]

you can't craft

you buy a weapon with perfect dump stat -> upgrade

can gamble in the shop for grey weapons to get what you want eventually, but that requires having gold

[warm storm]

Is friendly fire a thing?

[limber thicket]

no. dt = baby game

[zealous dome]

Can't friendly fire (through conventional methods)
Can't block shots

However, you will get voice lines if you keep shooting teammates

[merry dome]

weird i feel like it didnt give her credit when i picked the mission out

[limber pagoda]

So i revisited my tagging issue and found that it seems that single-tag companion target breaks enemy tagging when you dont have the dog

[warm storm]

What are the best Curios to have?

[frigid echo]

The most common setups you'll see are:
3x +17% Toughness
2x +17% Toughness, 1x +3 Stamina
2x +17% Toughness, 1x +21% Health

with some combination of these perks:
+5% Toughness
+4% Combat Ability Regen
+20% Gunner Damage Resist
+12% Stamina Regen

[marsh lava]

Is this quite ok for a lvl 25 arbitrator leveling up?
Do I have enough materials to optimise my gear at lvl 30?

[frigid echo]

gear doesn't really matter while leveling up, except for having +10% Experience on curios :)
you have enough plasteel to empower one weapon to 500

[astral ocean]

My suggestion is just get more plasteel for leveling up gear

[frigid echo]

And once you're level 30, Melk will have max rank weapons, which is a great way to try new weapons w/o spending the mats

[marsh lava]

Yh i'm saving everything up to lvl 30 then ill gear up correctly.
i just can't find a gearing guide with all the new stuff this game has.
I see there seems to be some range of % each weapon has, like a ''quality'' range of sort.

[frigid echo]

are you reffering to these numbers here?

[marsh lava]

yeah

[frigid echo]

oh okay so that means , once the weapon is level 500, it'll be 80/80

[marsh lava]

but the numbers on the right seems to be different from stats to stats

like they can't hit 80

[frigid echo]

you mean like this? this one will cap out at 60 once the weapon is max

each weapon has 380 points it can have divided between its 5 stats (at max level)

with 80 that can be the most in one stat

[marsh lava]

so how should i prioritise which stats and how to get the bests?

[warm storm]

Thank you!

[frigid echo]

check the Armoury/Melk for "perfect roll" weapons, which have an 80/80/80/80/60% distribution of max stats, like this.

The common advice is you want Mobility or Defences as the "dump"/60% stat.

once you have one , just empower it to 500 at hadron and you're set on that weapon for life till fatshark updates the system

[marsh lava]

oh nice, thanks for the advice

[warm storm]

What's the highest rating for gear? Is it worth paying attention to gear that's lower than the highest?

[true gust]

Highest rating is 500, but you can empower weapons at Hadron's alcove up to 500 by spending ordos, plasteel, and diamantine

[warm storm]

Can you incresae the damage of a weapon? mine is 53/77%, can I get it to 77% or is the 53-77% a range?

[warm storm]

Thank you!

[true gust]

The first % is what your weapon is currently at, the second % is what it'll be when you empower it to 500

[warm storm]

Thank you!

[frigid echo]

since every weapon can be empowered now, ranks don't really matter now. BUT, i believe there's still an issue with +3 Stamina curios which only give you the full +3 if the curio is rating 410 or higher

[warm storm]

What impacts the rating of the gear you get? Do I have to have higher rating gear on to get better rating drops?

[true gust]

Solely character level

most important thing to look for while leveling up is getting curios and putting '10% experience' perks on them as you get them, just helps you get to level 30 faster

[warm storm]

I'm level 24 and I haven't seen any exp cusios

[warm storm]

Are they useful after level 30?

[true gust]

You can change the perks on curios any time at Hadron's shop

[warm storm]

OH! Okay. Thank yoU!

[true gust]

🫡

[craggy minnow]

xp curios should be removed and xp should just be buffed 30% lol

Its so weird the secret to levelling up faster is already knowing a weird aspect of the crafting

[acoustic zephyr]

how to actually use emotes?

[keen flume]

Hold middle mouse when you are in the mourningstar

Not sure how is on controller but probably same bind as the callout wheel

[acoustic zephyr]

ah sadge thought we can maybe emote in missons :c

[keen flume]

Would be cool like it was on VT2

[acoustic zephyr]

ye some emotes would fit some funny situations

[cloud adder]

Do Ogryns get different numbers on their Curios or was it till now just bad luck;

• +19% Health
• +1 Wound(s)
• +16% Toughness
• +2 Stamina
  cant get higher ones than those,...

[fickle ether]

Just unlucky rng they have the same maxes as every other class being 21% health 1 wound 17% toughness and 3 stm

[cloud adder]

well, time to hope the armoury will then have at one point something, thanks

[keen flume]

Curios stats are same for all classes

Just unluck with rng

[cloud adder]

rng doesent like my ogryn
90% of thoughness curious are at 15% (the rest are at 16%)

[keen flume]

I spent like about 12K+ melk coins on curios for arbites and did not got a single max stat curio

Except wound but who even uses them but zealots

[keen oracle]

I still don't have a 17% toughness curio on my vet and I've completed his penances

[fickle ether]

I have 1 on him and 5 +3 stms so ummm guess it wants me to stm max on my vet

[vocal nacelle]

Got like 3 +3 stamina 410 and 2 17 toughness for cost like 40k melk

[slender sleet]

are you using a mod to make sure that 80% means full bar?

[frigid echo]

yeah, Show Me Real Weapon Stats

[steel oxide]

is the orthyus offensive part of mission rotation now or is there a specific terminal to access the mission?

[shadow skiff]

Only story or MMT.

You might be able to quickplay into someone hosting it though.

[steel oxide]

Thank you very much I thought it was something along those lines

[shadow skiff]

Ppl are annoyed at FS on it lul.

[craggy minnow]

Ironically it going away will probably be the trigger for me bothering to finally do secret mode when its back

[supple helm]

So did they actually give the enemies more health in the "new" auric difficulty? Gameslantern lists the enemies as having even more health than damnation on their website, but experience tells me auric should just be damnation with extra intensity/modifiers?

[delicate estuary]

Has anyone experienced inability to tag enemies? Can tag ammo and other stuff normally.

[tight heron]

I just came here to see if anyone else was having this problem

[shadow skiff]

If you have companion tag set to 1 tag, change it back to 2 when playing lone wulf or other classes.

[crimson scaffold]

Emotes in missions would be nice

Atm they’re kinda worthless since basically nobody socialises in the mourningstar

[graceful raptor]

what is Final Toll havoc mod

"hold shift to show modifiers" ok Obese Fish but show also the description of modifiers

ffs...

[wintry maple]

@ruby burrow just to be sure, since I had someone else try to click the diamonds to change, you're clicking the arrows to try and change difficulty, not the top diamonds right?

[kindred inlet]

when below 50% hp they become immune to stagger or something like that

[ruby burrow]

nah im just dumb, i use the diamonds

[wintry maple]

you're not dumb the diamonds work at mission select, just not at the grinder, if anything fatshark is dumb here for the oversight and misleading UI

[ruby burrow]

but brah how did the devs make it so in the mission board we can use the diamonds to change threat levels but we cant in meat grinder

they are on something there

[polar forum]

has anyone else had an issue where you can swap builds, but the weapons/equipment (including cosmetics) dont' swap with the build?

[rapid bough]

I can't select anything past malice on my level 30 zealot. I skipped the story so I thought it unlocked everything. I have auric unlocked already on arbites

Did I misunderstand that difficulty should be unlocked at that level or is it a bug?

[graceful raptor]

thanks

[limber thicket]

I had that issue a year ago

[marsh lava]

My newly built lvl 30 arbitrator, not bad for what I had in stock, weapons almost maxed (and they have the right stats)

[rancid raft]

How do you get the “atomas elite guard” penance now that auric and damnation are separate difficulty levels? Is it just completing a maelstrom mission on auric difficulty without anybody being downed?

Also, would you still be able to complete the penance if somebody died without being downed first? For example, if they were launched off the map.

[zealous dome]

No change in HP

[sage coral]

It's this, yes. For penance purposes, "Auric" counts as both Auric Heresy and Auric Damnation (i.e. there's still penances for completing a mission on Auric Heresy and on Auric Damnation - you'd get them both at once if you completed it on the new 'Auric' difficulty).

[rancid raft]

Alright, thanks

[still shadow]

Maybe a silly question but where is Orthos Offensive now?

[clear plume]

only open through campaign

[still shadow]

I assume it'll come back at some point? Still have to do the hard mode :(

[clear plume]

I have a mod

I can play it whenever if you want

[modest swallow]

If I want to solo can I just use a secondary xbox to join my lobby start mission and then quite with the secondary account?

[vocal nacelle]

set the mission to private, yea you can do that

if you are on PC you can also use MMT mod

[modest swallow]

Ty 🙂

[cloud adder]

so, not only to help in havoc, but also to play havoc without party, the only way is the party finder?

[little coyote]

you can be in a premade squad, just have someone else choose their havoc assignment

[cloud adder]

Ah, thats handy, thanks!

and regarding Havoc:
immune to crowd control
What is meant by that, just a weird way to speak about stagger/impact/suppression?

[stoic locust]

Blanket for stagger and suppression, yeah

Also stuff like smite

[cloud adder]

smite?

[stoic locust]

The psyker blitz

[cloud adder]

ah,..thanks!

[hard wasp]

whats the MMT mod do?

[keen flume]

Lets you play missions that have been out of rotation for the last 24 hours

Per example if currently theres no Rolling Steel mission on the board now but it was available like 30 mins ago, you can use the mod to play the mission

[kindred inlet]

it's actually 190 minutes now

[modest marten]

do you think we will get frames and armor skins for the arbiter from the "penance pass" at some point?

there are very few arbiter weapon skins too yet

[maiden compass]

penance pass?

[modest marten]

the thing in the bottom where you get stuff for the amount of points you have

what would you call it

[maiden compass]

the bar that makes me sad

[modest marten]

bruh true

tho im done soon

[maiden compass]

I just wanted the outfits then I realized it be easier to get the ones from havoc

[modest marten]

i havent even played havoc yet. well maybe a little

so i dont even know what outfits you can get there

[maiden compass]

the moebian 53rd armor( the black version of the ash and blue armor from the penance bar)

[modest marten]

oh nice. the blue and ash one looks not great

imho

[maiden compass]

I would send an image, if I had perms

[modest marten]

yeah ive seen it before. i just didnt knew it was the havoc one

[maiden compass]

yeah, I personally like them except for the open neck for the zealot on both armors

[reef pewter]

how to find maelstrom mision?

[keen oracle]

Check the Heresy and Auric boards, should be one on each... If it's working...

No longer on damnation for reasons beyond our comprehension

[reef pewter]

Got it.
thanks bud

[cloud adder]

What is the clearance level?

[keen oracle]

Highest mission rank they've beaten in havoc

[cloud adder]

from which level on, does it show ?

[keen oracle]

As in trust level? Doesn't matter.

Should show as soon as someone completes a Havoc mission

[frosty crag]

Someone able to tell me what the 8 on my Veteran indicates? Such as game mode or whatever it means

[limber thicket]

does anyone have issue tagging after the hotfix?

[neon helm]

Does anyone else keep loading in with the wrong wargear set but the game won’t let you change

[limber thicket]

Havoc Rank?

[frosty crag]

No my Havoc is 17, i have no idea what the 8 is from

[limber thicket]

your highest cleared havoc is 17, but your rank is lower

99% that's what it is

I have 22 clearance and 12 rank (the laurel thing is clearance = highest Havoc cleared, that I know for certain)

[restive cove]

What are unyielding enemies?

[keen oracle]

Bulwarks, reapers, monstrosities

[restive cove]

Ah

ty

[keen oracle]

Captains are flak

[dapper shard]

It’s „prestige” how many times in total you’ve earned enough XP to practically level from 1 to 30

[craggy terrace]

I have a bug right now that always selects my 1st loadouts weapons, but properly selects the other loadouts talents that I pick. Does anyone know what would be causing this or how to fix it?

With and without mods, validated, and reinstalled. I currently have no mods after a fresh reinstall and file validation.

Ah, even swapping my first loadouts weapons doesn't change my weapons... for that loadout or any loadout.

[frosty crag]

🙏

[cloud adder]

this is the way to assist people in havoc and or join ongoing havoc missions?

[pine pulsar]

I completed my first hi intensity shock troop mission on auric difficulty, I haven't tried havoc yet, how is havoc compared to that?

[vocal nacelle]

auric maelstorm with IIIVEG

[clear plume]

To "assist" you just need to complete a havoc that you didn't host

[clear plume]

Depends on level of havoc

[cloud adder]

quite simple.. thanks!

[clear plume]

0-20 is around or less then auric

[vocal nacelle]

normal auric is around havoc 20 ish give or take

[clear plume]

20-30 is around difficult auric maelstrom

30-40 is the hardest difficulty

[vocal nacelle]

30+ is where the magic happen

(where you cant see shit and let emprah take the controller)

Auric Maelstrom is baby mode, Havoc 20 was 3x harder at least

I can't even imagine 30

at least on arby

[clear plume]

(old auric maelstrom) and I was considering only really civi/3veg/ I-II

[vocal nacelle]

its either 20 bulwarks getting flamed or you are brawling 20 crusher inside smoke while 30 gunner munching popcorn

[clear plume]

I was also talking about the scaling

0-10 is coded as malice

10-20 is heresy

20-40 damntion

[pine pulsar]

Haven't tried auric maelstrom yet what does IIIVEG mean?

[void forge]

it's the combination of modifiers

[clear plume]

its the conditions of the maelstrom

from Combine

[pine pulsar]

Interesting thanks

[cloud adder]

how to activate or use Mortis Trials Archetypes?

[graceful raptor]

you choose them before the first wave, or after a wave if you join ongoing mission

[ionic veldt]

Hnelo peoples, can I also ask questions regarding optimization, Performance and Quality?

[supple helm]

No you're not allowed to ask questions in the ask questions channel.

#questions

[ionic veldt]

Oh wait, was this a joke 😭 ?

[ionic veldt]

Oh well then: How can I make my game look better- like higher graphics and less FPS drops?

I am wondering, if I can even play on high graphics with constant above 60 fps?
Specs:
CPU: R7 9800 X 3D
GPU: AMD RX 6900 XT

[rotund meadow]

Whats a good build thats also fun? (Like havoc tier)

[low summit]

When I select Cadia as my background planet, it doesn't unlock the Cadian eyes.
Furthermore, changing my precinct doesn't change the numbers on the deluxe Arbites cloak..

[midnight kite]

i'm getting blueballed by my steam download

[shadow skiff]

Both are bugs. You can add to the reports, but it's just waiting for a fix.

[spare robin]

When does the shop rotate

[lean grove]

what's the actual mod name, by chance? I am interested

[lean grove]

Fatshark being merciful and not adding extra tiers with the arbitas update, letting us catch up with an entire new class worth of penances, feels grut man.

[patent jasper]

MMT = Many More Tries

[fluid sand]

What's the best strat to get a monster for the Psyker Monster Brain-pop penance?

getting a mission w/ a garanteed monster spawn I mean

[shadow skiff]

Dark Communion or Consignment yard has guaranteed spawns.

Rest is just RNG or get an Oggy to tank the DH.

[midnight kite]

Dark Communion (guaranteed monstrosity halfway thru)
Consignment Yard HL17-36 (i think) (guaranteed monstrosity at end)
or any maelstroms with monstrous specialists

[fluid sand]

ah ok, I'll prob jsut do one of those missions then. Sidenote, so the mini-boss modifier also counts? I wasn't sure

[midnight kite]

i think so?

[plucky sundial]

any one trying to help me run havoc says i need atleast one person

[craggy terrace]

I have a bug right now that always selects my 1st loadouts weapons, but properly selects the other loadouts talents that I pick.

Does anyone know what would be causing this or how to fix it?

With and without mods, validated, and reinstalled. I currently have no mods after a fresh reinstall and file validation.

On one character even swapping my first loadouts weapons doesn't change my weapons... for that loadout or any loadout.

[vernal plaza]

Nuke all your loadout
Rebuild them all froom scratch

[midnight kite]

afraid to say that boneofimba's suggestion is the best way to unfuck your loadouts

[craggy terrace]

Damn

Hopefully it works, thanks

[ivory gate]

Field improvisation doesn't work on Auric Maelstrom?

*The corruption cleanse

[livid timber]

Man Pinging enemies got broken again

[coral steeple]

So what's the best source of diamantine? Never have enough of it. Not sure if it's Auric, Auric Maelstrom, Mortis Trials or Havoc

[little coyote]

Damnation quick play used to be the best for it but not sure if that's the case anymore with mortis and the difficulty changes in place

[coral steeple]

I remember before the itemization rework, I never had enough plasteel and too much diamantine. How things change

[vocal nacelle]

havoc

complete 1 havoc 40 , get 23K diamantine

[coral steeple]

If only I could find people to do havoc with

[lucid coyote]

guys, what is the item rating after the mission revamp to do heresy difficulty?

i mean i know i can go with 150-200 but is that enough?

[coral steeple]

There is none. You have to play the highest difficulty available to you enough time to unlock the next

[lucid coyote]

yeah, i know, what i meant was - what rating i should have to do the heresy comfortable

[clear plume]

That is 100% up to player skill

Try it out if it's available

There is literally no harm done

See how you do and if you feel like you did nothing or aren't having fun, leave after the mission and go down 1 difficulty

[ionic veldt]

Is this the right channel to ask this in ?

[clear plume]

Yes but it's less busy here so it's harder to get feedback at times

What I do is turn everything off or low, it still looks fine

I also use Lossless scaling on stream for its frame generation since DTs doesn't work

[vocal nacelle]

check driver version

[limber thicket]

doesn't matter, try it as soon as you can and learn
I did Auric Maelstrom with 300\300 weapons

you won't be griefing by using low power items, if you're playing good enough for the difficulty

things will die just fine with low power equipment

[lucid coyote]

so baiscally whats the difference between diff lvls? only more mobs + modifiers (like guntlet, hi-intensity, gas ect.)? or mobs have more hp ect?

[vocal nacelle]

hp damage and intensity

auric & damnation have same hp and damage but different intensity

[weary thistle]

Okay so, uh, weird question... I'm getting a prompt to either skip the campaign or play it from the beginning after Dark Communion, but I just finished the campaign, I thought? Like, what would this option even do here?

[upbeat night]

It asked me that for the first login on each of my characters. Once you've done it once there's no reason to do it again. I still randomly get the campaign cutscenes playing after missions

[weary thistle]

Yeah, I'm just not sure why it's asking me after finishing the campaign for the first time on my first character

[upbeat night]

That sounds like a bug to me

[weary thistle]

I guess so, yeah. Weird. I'll hit skip and hope nothing breaks or w/e lol

[upbeat night]

You'll be fine, all it really does is gates off access to the various vendors so as long as you still have access to them it's not a problem

[weary thistle]

Yeah, looks like everything's alright? Weird that the Comissary lady is still here, though

[mild sky]

Is there a way to get havoc stats on enemies inside the psykhanium?

[vocal nacelle]

mods

[ionic veldt]

Hey man, thanks for the reply <3
Il check out the lossless scaling ones I am home :)

[ionic veldt]

My driver is (should be) up to date

[vocal nacelle]

Dartkide have funky issue with the driver, need certain version i don't know which one for AMD

Recent one could tank your fps

[ionic veldt]

Ohh zanku for the info :)

[ionic veldt]

Oh damn

[vocal nacelle]

Ask people here maybe

[acoustic zephyr]

yoho, guys, do i unlock auric faster playing the new campaing or unlocking tier by tier?

[ionic veldt]

Oki :)
il do that once I am home, im currently at work

[mild sky]

nice, do you know the name of any of them?

[vocal nacelle]

I think you need creature spawner and solo play mod

So you host havoc and spawn stuff there

[mild sky]

aha, that is a nice workaround. thanks

[acoustic zephyr]

yoho, how to make the mobs in meat grinder actuall attack us to learn their timings etc?

[brave breach]

wait really?

[vocal geyser]

[warped basin]

has anyone noticed problems with disappearing audio since the last update? didn't read patch notes fully so don't know if it's a common issue
more than just a handful of times per mission my music randomly cuts out in the middle of a horde, specials sneak up with zero audio, things like that

[acoustic zephyr]

huhu, any blaze sword experts? why does MK IV have like 100 more damage on light attacks then both others mks :D? makes no sense to play one of the others if u just spam leftclick when im out of spells/quill or ?

[little coyote]

different moveset

and don't remember if the MK IV was the Illisi variant or one of the other two which also has a different active ability

raw damage number is rarely the only stat to to look out for in weapons

[keen oracle]

IV is deimos

[cold moon]

Disappearing audio especially to warn of unique enemies (e.g. trapper, bomber, mutant, etc) has been an ongoing issue since at least Grim Protocols update from November 2024

[warped basin]

really? never had it this bad

[little coyote]

One map (think it was consignment yard) has a particular spot when you emerge to the room a couple doors before the final event where most of the sounds bug out, it has been a thing for a while now

[limber thicket]

it doesn't work sometimes and I don't know why. a cooldown or something else, but it's awkward and annoying
consistent issue every match

[cold moon]

Worse than before with the addition of new dialogue from Arbites, then verbal responses from the other characters to the Arbites is my understanding. Audio cues has become more complex and in-depth since last year.

[zealous dome]

Strikedown instead of assassin

But

Don't believe those

Inspect your weapon

Check the adms on each attack

[shy stone]

It happens 100% of the time in places where you are fighting near doors that seperate 2 "rooms" (not just any rooms, but when it's coded as a different area, or something like that). You won't be hearing anything from the other room/area, despite you might literally be able to touch the enemy. It's not always this that happens, as audio ques are a bit finnicky, but in my experience from watching clips from people complaining, at least 75% of the issues I've seen have been caused by what I described.

[inland lichen]

Any fix or mod that would allow me to read square symbols representing asian symbols? All I see is a bunch of squares

[limber thicket]

explain what?

[inland lichen]

Is this some sorta mod?

Oo, found it.

[vital thunder]

games been crashing a shitload for me since I got the new update
if anyone happens to know how to troubleshoot I'd love that
mind you, the game ran fine on high for me prior to this so its not hardware, Im updating my drivers now

updated drivers successfully, so far the issue has resolved

[cloud adder]

Auric on Damnation, isent that from the old system or what does it mean?

[lucid coyote]

yeah, few of these old wordings remained

[patent jasper]

Simply just do the auric difficulty now, auric missions count as both of the old auric heresy / damnation for penance purposes

[fluid imp]

So i'm a bit of an idiot when it comes to mods, they were working at the weekend and now they are not, they seem to be up to date according to the vortex thing, anything i can look at /try?

[limber thicket]

you have to relaunch the .bat file in the mods folder every time there's an update

[fluid imp]

ah i see! tyvm 🙂

[ionic veldt]

how can I make my game look less grainy?
i sadly cant send an ss but i have high settings but it feels like i have something one that makes my game granny like a sand filter xd

[limber thicket]

ambient occlusion

[ionic veldt]

where can I find- il search my self thanks for the tip!

sadly didnt fix it :(
maybe im js litl dum idk

[ionic veldt]

is there a setting that scales down graphics automaticaly to have consistent fps?

[limber thicket]

DLSS on Auto. But prepare for the blur

[ionic veldt]

im asking that because i (think) have high enough fps to play on high graphics, and im so confused my game my looks... not like it it those in youtube videos xd
Ik this sounds weird but im so confused what people use for settings to have so high graphics xd

il check out dlss

starting game gimme a sec (also got no clue what that is xd)

[limber thicket]

if you have AMD I think you can only use FSR (same thing but worse)

[ionic veldt]

i do use that

but the graphics dont rly change

[limber thicket]

well, in auto mode it will adapt on the fly to keep fps stable.

and at least for me, there's noticeable blur while moving

[ionic veldt]

yes right exactly that

let me see if I have that one

[limber thicket]

so I just play at 1080p and lower everything to minimum, limit decals and ragdols and so on

[ionic veldt]

do u think i can play on high graphics with a rx 6900 xt, 64gb ram, and a 9800 x3d

[limber thicket]

and allegedly, you should limit "Worker Threads" setting in the launcher to "your number of CPU cores -1

[ionic veldt]

idk what I am doing rong or if I am just overhyping my build or smth xd

[limber thicket]

I don't know amd cards so 💀

[ionic veldt]

u know nvidia cards?

its roughly the euqal to an 3080ti

i put fsr to quality now

[timid flicker]

I sure have. Do we have any answer on this? It's completely ridiculous.

[limber thicket]

that's pretty good, I think. but again, you'll just have to experiment with the settings

do you have an FPS counter or something like that?

Volumetric Fog eats a lot of fps and all of this

[kindred inlet]

C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Fatshark\Darktide

user_settings.config

find last_fullscreen_resolution
find last_windowed_resolution
find screen_resolution

set the numbers involved to your resolution

at least, that's what mine is like

[limber thicket]

Fullscreen = Windowed Borderless

don't ask why

[ionic veldt]

sry for the late reply, i do have an fps counter, it shows near constant above 100 fps
the game js looks grainy and mabye un focused even tho sharpness is at max iirc

its not really about fps in my case, but about how the game looks

[limber thicket]

100 fps is not good? damn

[limber thicket]

that's FSR

[small storm]

How can I see my FPS ingame? I've tried Fraps, Nvidia, and Game Bar; all of which can't detect the FPS ingame. I'm on the Xbox version btw

[limber thicket]

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/software/nvidia-app/

that's what I use

Alt + R shows FPS and a bunch of other info

[delicate estuary]

Guys. I tried Havoc 30 and got totally wacked.

How do I git gud?

[supple helm]

By playing

[delicate estuary]

More havoc?

[supple helm]

If you want to get better at havoc, play more havoc, yes.

Aim to make each run better than your last one, and eventually you'll git gud enough if that's your goal

[delicate estuary]

I don't even know where to begin. I lost it because of boss spam and me Psyker deals shit damage to bosses

[ashen herald]

for me, when my main monitor is set to duplicate my display on my TV by my bed, that’s when it’s locked to 1080p max. when i click “only show on display 1” and reset the game, full resolution options are available

idek

[supple helm]

Welcome to havoc

I would say, don't feel obligated to play havoc just because it's there. If you're not having fun, go play some other modes.

[delicate estuary]

Me mates all play havoc without me and keep bitching that even auric maelstrom is boring after h40

Couldn't help but try dipping

[limber thicket]

there seems to be some way to manipulate boss spawns in Havoc, so as not to trigger too many at once

going slowly I guess

[supple helm]

Pretty sure it's based on your physical location in the map. Don't rush forward too fast and don't backtrack too much.

[clear plume]

Exactly like VT, there are boss triggers

Don't pass them and you won't get a boss

Only pass when everything is cleared

[limber thicket]

okay, but for example: there's a map with like lots of sand and an elevator very early

and we once got 3 or 4(?) bosses in that elevator room

that's practically 1min into the map

[clear plume]

Relay station probably

Full hp or weakened?

Twins?

[limber thicket]

It was a plague ogryn and twins I think

and maybe another weakened boss

[clear plume]

Twins are always a trigger

They have unique ones only for them

Every map has 1 at the exact beginning of progression (1st enemy spawn spot)

For weakened they are monsterous specials and you got unlucky

Every special spawn is around 2.5% chance to be a boss in havoc

[limber thicket]

[clear plume]

And they can spawn up to 6 at a time

So you got unlucky x2

Havoc truly has some unlucky runs

[limber thicket]

well, it's whatever, since that was literally a few minutes into the run

played the same level havoc today and we never fought more than 2 full bosses at the same time

guess we went slowly enough

[delicate estuary]

YES

This is exactly the map I was wrecked in

[onyx jasper]

how do i get my mods to work again?

[limber thicket]

run the .bat file patcher again, in the mods folder

[onyx jasper]

thanks!

[viral swan]

Hey, I'm a new player. Can anyone tell me what counts as weak spots for the marked for death penance for the veteran, since headshots aren't working and idk what i did to get 3 out of 4

[clear plume]

Weakspots are headshots on all but Beast of Nurgle which is the yellow spot on its back

[viral swan]

cool thanks

[zealous dome]

Flamer Cannisters are also considered weakspots

However

They don't really take damage there

0.something modifier

[south berry]

wouldn't really say it's a gameplay issue, but are there items listed for the arbites in the commodore's vestures?? i don't see anything there at all

[vital aspen]

is vault spireside coming back? I swear I played it a couple weeks ago before arb update but haven't seen it since and can't find any info besides when it got removed over a year ago?

[clear plume]

its been back for a few months now

[vital aspen]

haven't seen it in map rotation for the past 6 days

[clear plume]

I only play havoc so I'm sorry that I cant confirm it. but its still in havoc map pool

[vital aspen]

even played through the campaign again hoping it would be a forced mission to play

yeah maybe i just need to hope for havoc

cheers

[golden tartan]

Could someone tell me what is this symbol for ?

[leaden fjord]

XP

[golden tartan]

Xp for the character ?

[leaden fjord]

XP for that mission if you complete it

[golden tartan]

What's the fastest way to level up a character ?

[leaden fjord]

If you go to the other tab on certain missions with secondary objectives it tells you how much xp those side objectives additionally give you

[golden tartan]

XP in general for everything ? or XP for character ?

[leaden fjord]

Play missions with secondary objectives and complete them, put +xp earned on your curios

[leaden fjord]

XP for the character

[brittle basin]

I've been playing on and off for a while, and i feel my skill starting to plateau a little. How do I work out what I need to improve on/what my weaknesses are?

[graceful raptor]

gotta get into the shape to start grinding that pts, for tournaments and big prizes

"how do i improve", just play idk 🤷‍♂️

watch how enemies behave

[brittle basin]

I realise I was vague in my question. I'm not going down tons, I usually win matches. I play at auric level. I just feel like I'm stagnating.

[graceful raptor]

everything is ok then

[brittle basin]

OK

[graceful raptor]

if you think you need to beat havoc 40 consistently then... NO

bullshit mode

[limber thicket]

challenge yourself - do higher difficulty

[brittle basin]

Yeah, I figured that'd be the answer. It's just people tend to be shittier when there's actual penalties to losing

[graceful raptor]

just play maelstroms you find fun, play high intensity aurics, and thats it

[little coyote]

well if one wants to improve on themselves, havoc is the place to go if normal game modes start to feel easy

[brittle basin]

true, thanks

[graceful raptor]

if only havoc was actually balanced

[brittle basin]

also: how does auric work now, exactly? Is auric high intensity supposed to be harder than original auric damnation?

[little coyote]

havoc is fine

[brittle basin]

or the same?

[graceful raptor]

more enemies (?)

obvious no?

[little coyote]

auric is the old auric damnation, pretty sure the high intensity used to be baked in to the auric modifier but that might not be the case anymore

[graceful raptor]

ah, you're talking old version

[brittle basin]

Yeah

[graceful raptor]

bruh who cares now 🙂

[brittle basin]

true

thanks anyway, i'll just suck it up and move on to next difficulty

[neon galleon]

Auric feels pretty much the same as before

[inland lichen]

No difference in health between damnation and auric? Just enemy spawn frequency?

[keen oracle]

Yes

[inland lichen]

Seems a bit weird to have different levels for the psykhanium

Made sense when sedition still existed

[keen oracle]

I feel like they did it because it was easier than removing sedition lol

Just copy and paste damnation again

[karmic ravine]

My biggest issue with havoc is how hard (Comparetively) it is to get into a session for it. Id play it all the time if that was easier.

[ivory gate]

Yeah the LFG channel in this discord is almost a must imo

[wispy mango]

Hey I’m back playing after months. So relic blade and new weapons are all low level. Do I need to level them before trying damnation or auric?

[vocal nacelle]

yes

[limber thicket]

if you could run auric mael before, you can just jump in

get a good roll from brunt, consecrate and it's ok

[wispy mango]

Thanks!

[delicate estuary]

Do Mortis Trials count for Melk's "Complete Missions"?

[golden tartan]

Could anyone please tell me how do I buy mass: Exterminator Mk 8 ? I don't see it in the shop...

[polar forum]

its just the exterminator shotgun

and then you can change marks after you buy it from mk 3 to mk8

Okay real talk, am I just bad now, or are trappers pulling some scummy moves like shooting through walls and 60 crushers and 400 poxers?

lmao play ogryn then

he can do so

[slate idol]

hmm maybe i am just getting brokebacked by them trappers

[zealous dome]

That's

That's ogryn

Do Mortis Trials count for Melk's "Complete Missions"?

But ideal to destroy everyone devices
