Is curio rating affecting anything at all?

[graceful raptor]

something-something about 3 stamina curio, for others no

[mental osprey]

Hey guys, returning player here from release with a question about crafting:

Is the standard way of crafting repeatedly buying the white item weapon that you want until you get the desired stat roll, and then adding blessings to them? Or is there a more streamlined way of getting the item that you want?

[graceful raptor]

for people with resources - yeah, roll for stats at Brunt, then upgrade it and then change whatever perks and blessings you like or dont like

[mental osprey]

TY friend

[hoary plume]

Is Excise Vault Spireside-13 currently disabled? I know it's had some issues before. It's the last mission I need to complete on Auric for Penances, but I haven't seen it on the mission board in at least a few days.

[shadow skiff]

410+ for +3 stam, rest is what you see is what you get.

[delicate estuary]

Is just doing aurics and maelstroms still the best way to get diamantine?

[limber thicket]

Havoc gives a fuckload of diamantine

once a week I think

[delicate estuary]

I need diamantine now, not at the end of the week

Quickplay it is

[limber thicket]

Auric Mael then

[frigid echo]

how many extra mats does maelstrom give?

[slender sleet]

can you tell me the name pls?

[frigid echo]

"Show Me Real Weapon Stats"?

[keen obsidian]

Sorry was me

[frigid willow]

Is creature spawner mod crashing anyone game?

I’m also missing the plague orgryn

[plucky sundial]

what do i need to do to be accepted to havoc missions

[unborn sail]

when im looking at a havoc party which number is the actual assignment number?

[clear plume]

37

Bottom right

[dense tulip]

you need to complete a Maelstrom mission. If it still works as it did, completing Auric Maelstrom will bump you to a havoc rank 16 immediately

[plucky sundial]

done that but it says i need one other person or find a team and i get rejected

i have no friends who play

[frigid echo]

people can see your build and gear with mods, which is a major contributing factor in getting rejected. are all your weapons and curios fully upgraded? (i just played a game today with someone running blue and purple gear, which is wild for havoc). and running a standard meta build will increase the chances of being accepted

[plucky sundial]

thx

[winged atlas]

I just got the game, is it really going to be hard to get into games? Or were they talking about endgame type stuff? I just did the tutorial.

[frigid echo]

endgame mode called havoc

also, welcome!

[winged atlas]

Thanks!

[vocal nacelle]

not really that hard, just ask if you want to know something because the game doesnt explain few ingame mechanics

[ashen river]

Anyone know what time the vestures update?

[keen flume]

Next thursday 10am UK time

[ashen river]

Thanks man

[open escarp]

can someone explain these game modes, i just did my first havoc. Im tier 13...are these other options the difficulty increase

like how shoul i work through these, should i get to havoc 40 then move on... are the others easier/harder...

[keen oracle]

Mortis is the silly mode with lots of hilarious buffs. Bit of a side mode to the main game

I assume adventure is the "normal" mode. Where you go on missions and work levels to complete a task. I honestly don't where this menu is lol

Maelstrom is that but with modifiers, hound waves, mutant waves, pox gas, vent purg, Monstrous specialists etc.

Havoc is like ranked maelstrom, H40 is the hardest content in the game.

Just start off with regular adventure and go from there

[open escarp]

ok

second question is that loot box something i have to open somehere, or is the gun i got in my invetory. cuz its shit lol

[keen oracle]

You'll receive the crate contents on the weekly refresh. monday iirc. Just check the havoc terminal

[open escarp]

nice

last question

what does demote assignment mean, i literally cant figure out what they mean... my best guess is maybe it lowers my rank if im getting owned??

[keen oracle]

Yes, you can drop your current assignment rank

Only reason to use it is if you have a truly cursed combo and can't be bothered lol

[open escarp]

ok... but you would have to rea-earn that rank yeah

like if im rank 13... do i got to 12... is that what it means

[keen oracle]

Yes and yes

[open escarp]

k

thankyou, very hepful

[ivory gate]

So like

Is the autopistol just for laughs?

[brave breach]

welcome to party finder

cant wait for the quikcplay havoc update

just host your own game and accept people

[violet ermine]

Hey team, what are the precinct trim numbers? I know Vortorn is 34 and Throneside is 56

[stuck heart]

where can i find a weapon DPS cheatsheet?

[craggy minnow]

For the last long while, yeah
Trash base stats and no good blessings to counteract them

[polar forum]

it's good. high mobility, quick draw, very high dps against maniacs and unyielding, good finesse stats. bit ammo hungry.

[polar forum]

SAP sucked for a while, not anymore baby

[golden tartan]

Question: If I already did finished Havoc 40, is there are point to do it again on the same week ? do we get better mats than auric maelstorm or ?

[ivory gate]

I got backend error signing in? What do?

[void forge]

Try again

[ivory gate]

I did try relaunching, didn't work

[void forge]

Just keep trying

It will work at some point

[ivory gate]

Restarted steam now it works

[crisp widget]

How much does Havoc scale compared to Auric and Auric maelstrom, like when does Havoc surpass Auric/maelstrom??
Havent really touched it yet as I dont have a group

[limber thicket]

at about H22

Havoc 15 and below are, idk, regular Damnation\Heresy levels

[barren heron]

Hi! Why are difficulties locked now? How do I unlock them?

[limber thicket]

play enough of the preceeding difficulty

[tribal willow]

Is there a collateral threshold to open bulwarks with the bolt pistol, or is it better to keep as low as possible like with the recon lasgun? I have one at 34% with the other 4 at 80%.

[shadow skiff]

87 archivum, torrent under is 13.

[midnight kite]

You have to play like 10 matches of the preceeding difficulty to unlock the next. There should be a little progress meter with a ##/100. It's a bit annoying that it exists, but hey, at least you know the people who play higher difficulties aren't complete idjits.

[quasi tree]

I gifted my friend a copy of the game. He lives on the other side of the planet. he swapped to the same server as me. he ques for a mission, i accept, we're ready in lobby then it just separates us and give us different players and party is gone. can i fix this somehow ?

[shadow skiff]

Naw, there's ppl still carried to damnation and aurics. Some not great players got grandfathered in as well.

[violet ermine]

ty, didnt know they were stacked

[dusky urchin]

I have trouble with my Loadout.

Anyone know if there is a fix for this?

Whenenver I try to switch marks on my Revovler it just... refuses? I press equip on the mark i want and the checkmark is on the correct mark, but when I exit mark selection, it just stays the same as before?

If I buy a new revovler from Brunts it can change its mark just fine, but the fully leveled one I have just refuses?

I do have mastery 20 on my revovler so I do in fact have both marks unlocked

[rose barn]

are 420/max stat curios still from melk? or will they drop from missions w/ the curio drop after mission perk?

[limber thicket]

armory sells them too sometimes

[thin crest]

I dont get it, why didnt I get clearence rank 20?

[shadow skiff]

Because you need to clear a 20 to get that to 20, you cleared a 19 to get to 20.

[willow slate]

is there a way on mission board to know if i done on auric difficulty before?

[rose barn]

Appreciate it, pimp

[sturdy barn]

hello I have a question, if I have voidstrike staff + surge blessing and True Aim talent
I crit and throw 2 projectiles on weakspot
is that +2 to true aim counter ?

[wise anvil]

Does anyone have the issue where textures (not all and not always) are blurry and only load after a few seconds?

[wheat night]

anyone knows how to make the game stop resetting video settings everytime I launch the game?

[steady hornet]

Hey Ive been tryna queue for Havoc 11 but it keeps telling me that someone in my party cant queue for it,,, which doesnt make ANY sense bc everyone in the party already has havoc levels,, anyone know how to fix this?

[void forge]

Someone in your party needs to check the havoc terminal

If someone levelled up their havoc or got demoted, they need to check their terminal to acknowledge it

Then you can queue up again

Also applies if someone hasnt received their weekly cache

[steady hornet]

ive had it happen with 2 seperate partys i thought it was me but Ive been on the havoc termnial this whole time

[void forge]

If you've been checking the terminal regularly, it ain't you

[steady hornet]

ill ttry again tysm

its still happening, completely different group everyones checked terminals

oh was gonna post a screenshot but it just tells me someone in my group isnt eligble but since its happened with like 5 different groups i have to assume my game is just bugged

[void forge]

It could be that a player in your party recently left a match (you can't join a havoc if a havoc you left is still in progress)

[steady hornet]

ive had everyone confirm theyre literally at their terminal

3 times

im listing my party from the havoc terminal and people are finding my party from the havoc terminal

this is def a bug

[void forge]

Can you show me what your terminal looks like?

Oh you don't have perms yet

[steady hornet]

yeah i tried

i joined the server bc i wanted to report this bug lol

[void forge]

Just stay active and you will get perms quickly

[steady hornet]

oke, i made a fourms account to actually report this

[void forge]

Does the mission in your havoc terminal have a big lock on it?

[steady hornet]

it does and it list people in a party im not even in LOL

[void forge]

Like this?

[steady hornet]

yea

[void forge]

Okay you will have to hold R to cancel the ongoing deployment

It will kill an attempt though

[steady hornet]

thats

why? LOL

so it was me then too

[void forge]

Yeah I've never personally seen this

[steady hornet]

yeah thats

quite stupid

[void forge]

I just googled your problem

[steady hornet]

yup i can queue now

tysm and wtf LMFAO

[fickle ether]

That bug happens from time to time. I normally get it when someone leaves while I'm in the havoc board been a bug since the launch of havoc.

[steady hornet]

ive had ppl leave multiple times so makes sense

[onyx jasper]

Why does this game do such a terrible job of explaining fucking anything

[clear plume]

This has always been a thing

[onyx jasper]

It's genuinely such an easy fix

[clear plume]

Sadly

It's a fatshark thing

Yup

[onyx jasper]

Lazy devs

[smoky ember]

what in particular

[tender wren]

Are buffs & skills (on kill, on hit, etc.) not showing up on the UI because of buff overload or are they not activating sometimes? or am I crazy

[polar forum]

the buffs bar is a buggy piece of shit

[tender wren]

I figured, but the sidebar menu sometimes doesn't show buffs that are on the bar (is it that bad?)

[velvet fulcrum]

Is aiming center-mass on maulers generally better than headshots?

Unless you have crazy carapace damage

[shadow skiff]

In most cases, yes. Unless your weapon has both good finesse damage and the ability to ignore or is good against cara.

CoughsDuelingSwordCoughs.

[smoky ember]

unless ur weapon has rending or is extremely dependent on finesse, yah

depends on the attacks too

[livid leaf]

Do any of y’all have this bug specifically on arbitrator that it loads you in with random weapons? Like it’s not anything that you had selected

[willow slate]

question about matyr skull if an ally grabs it will i get penance credit?

[clear plume]

You need to grab

[raven jacinth]

How do i easily update my mods?

[lilac pebble]

Guys, weird question. But, are there blessings that are unique and only can be found through upgrading weapons and not on the mastery blessing tab?

[hard goblet]

No.

[leaden lion]

how do i door bosses?

[leaden lion]

Aside from “shut the door on them”

[vocal nacelle]

they kinda "fix" that one

bit harder to do now

[leaden lion]

What do I do?

I mainly care about it for captains and twins

[vocal nacelle]

find the "center" and shut the door

[leaden lion]

Okay

Is like shout, taunt, book, a good idea to keep them there then close the door?

[vocal nacelle]

yea

[leaden lion]

For shroudfield-ing, what are my primary concerns?

Just disablers?

I’ve heard that I need to cap out the hoarde and leave only melee non-disablers alive

[vocal nacelle]

uh what ? is this havoc true solo run?

[leaden lion]

Yeah

But I don’t want to do archivum

I’m fine with doing it with shroud, even though it is not appreciated. I play the game for my enjoyment

[vocal nacelle]

not a zealot , dont know how the stealth zealot usually do

[leaden lion]

Do you do ogryn?

[vocal nacelle]

yea

[leaden lion]

Are there any cool ogryn techs? I’ve seen button presses from odd spots and special battery throws and backwards dog pushes, but wondering if there is anything else cool out there

Ogryn for the longest time has been irritating to play and I’m just now getting into it

[vocal nacelle]

nothing fancy or gamebreaking but you can stunlock monster if you use heavy hitter impact mk3 shovel

current "op" ogryn stuff is rumbler spam with lucky bullet

[leaden lion]

Ah, I have seen a bit of that. Is it better to pair with the Branx or bully club?

[leaden lion]

That’s super cool

Does this work on like chaos spawn and plague ogryns?

[vocal nacelle]

should be if FS didnt fix it, bullrush -> heavy attack -> weapon special (punch)

just loop heavy and punch on the head

[leaden lion]

Hahaha

That’s awesome

[vocal nacelle]

anything goes but on havoc mk3 bully club is fav pick

because you can just light spam your way out

[leaden lion]

I have really only played havoc so far lol

[warped basin]

what's harder than Heresy but easier than Damnation?

[stoic locust]

Hi int heresy

Otherwise, nothing

[warped basin]

garbage idea
thanks for the answer

the step-up is absurd and makes me want to uninstall but I don't want to stay in Heresy forever

[stoic locust]

Damnation is easier

Teams are better on average

[vocal nacelle]

What's your current problem?

[warped basin]

no it isn't easier, I have 90% winrate on heresy and can clutch, on damnation I can't remember the last time I completed a mission

[stoic locust]

What level are you and your gear, and on what class

And what do you die to

[warped basin]

you're really expecting a player who can't even beat Damnation to identify the mistakes they're making
if I knew that, I wouldn't be here, would I

[stoic locust]

Not the mistake you make

Just what actually does final hits

[warped basin]

stupid shit, misclicks, mistimed dodges, being laserbeamed by gunners in .5 seconds because I didn't spot them among the three hundred enemies coming my way
now you're going to tell me to continue playing until I get mechanically better, good talk

[stoic locust]

If you have problems with gunners run gunners resistance

Taking half damage from them is amazing

[vocal nacelle]

gotta start somewhere

could be build issue or gameplay issue

what class what weapon

or using controller, im not dissing the controller player but you have slower reaction with it

[shadow skiff]

Shush, I get made to clutch on vet and controller.

[keen oracle]

You might need to play a bit more cautious for a bit until you get a feel for it.

Being more comfortable will help with those mistakes

[limber thicket]

you're clearly not doing the fundamentals

so yes, you need to get better, otherwise how will you go up in difficulties

you don't need to see gunners to dodge them for example

you rely on sound or muzzle flash

I bet you're not doing enough pushing or blocking either

I know I didn't when I used to struggle on Damnation

[stoic locust]

Blocking is largely optional

[limber thicket]

yes, pushing is more important. but blocking can help

[stoic locust]

Is mostly for stalling

[limber thicket]

dodge > push >>>> block is my order of importance I'd say

[warped basin]

I have full, havoc-ready builds pulled from guides and I'm comfortable playing those builds, it is NOT a build issue
I am NOT a brand new player either, been playing Heresy for about half of my total 200 hours in the game so far
yes, it's still extremely new and - I'm guessing - extremely bad, I simply am not able to pay enough attention to reliably succeed at Damnation
all I came here to ask about was whether there's a middle ground between Heresy/Damnation and, like I thought, there isn't, so I'll keep climbing Havoc from scratch because that's a much more incremental curve than the bullshit step-up to Damnation
I don't need or want to analyze my gameplay or tips on how to get better, I simply want an experience between what has become too easy and borderline impossible in order to get better
and it is only tilting further when I keep getting answers to shit I didn't ask about in the first place, despite it being in good faith

[stoic locust]

Havoc does have a damnation step though

Havoc uses malice stats for 1-10, heresy for 10-20, and damnation from then on

[keen oracle]

But analysing your gameplay is how you get better

Face tanking your way through difficulties is not the way

[cold moon]

You mention havoc-builds from guides, but where do they come from? Not all guides are created equally.

[keen oracle]

Even minor stuff like, well how did I die?

Get jumped by a rager pack? Focus on awareness, enemy spawn locations, utilising your equipment better to disable them

Whiffed dodge on a crusher? Focus on their dodge timing and positioning so you have room

Die to specialists? Those are YOUR problem, you cannot rely on randoms, prioritise them hard and listen for their sounds

And remember, this is darktide. Bullshit happens, you won't win every mission

[vocal nacelle]

if you are on asia, wanna play?

[limber thicket]

I barely notice the difference between Heresy and Damnation, it's so minimal

Auric with Hi-Intensity is a big step up

[stoic locust]

That’s funny because it’s the largest HP step

[limber thicket]

also, Heresy has Maelstrom, right?

maybe that is the middle ground between Heresy and Damnation?

[keen oracle]

Once you have a good grasp of the fundamentals, you avoid damage most of the time anyway. So it doesn't really matter

But not when you're trying to get better at the game

It's a huge jump

[limber thicket]

fair

[limber thicket]

did you try Heresy Maelstrom?

[civic axle]

guys my friend has the minimum reqirements for darktide (even better than minimum) and his game just keeps crashing constantly. We just cant figure out why. My computer is a bit weeker than his and my game works just fine. Does anybody have the same problem. I dont know if this is the chat for this.

[vocal nacelle]

whats the spec

could be driver issue

try on launcher setting and reduce the worker thread first

[civic axle]

thats his

thanks we will experiment a bit

[wise depot]

Hi. Is there a useful tutorial on how to acquire and craft decent gear?

Only just got back into the game after about a year out from it, and I’ve never got this far with a character to start thinking about getting better gear and using crafting materials

[vocal nacelle]

are you max level?

how much resource you have now

[crisp widget]

Are you able to leave a mission before bleeding out to save Auric storm survivor progress? I am not saying I will do it everytime, if i die with my team fair and square I deserve the loss of progress.

but sometimes you just get people who shouldnt be in maelstorm who have clue what they are doing and wont help or play as a team at all, and rather not waste my time again if I find people like that.

[keen flume]

If you quit/alt f4 the mission in progress you will lose track and restart all over if I remember

[woeful ruin]

Is there an unlisted Havoc modifier that reduces health and toughness? I just had something like 40 each less in the mission.

[limber thicket]

yeah

[undone mantle]

is quick play fastet mode to lvl up?

[clear plume]

yup

and put exp on your curios to go faster

[limber thicket]

I think Heresy Maelstrom might be better when you get there? but idk

[leaden lion]

Highest havoc level completed this season

[wise depot]

I’m level 27,
313k dockets
4.6k Req coins
14k plasteel

It’s been a while so I have no idea how to craft or what to look for in vendors. I know what items I’m after for each of my builds, and a vague idea on their perks. I know about sacrificing gear to level up weapons to then use those blessing points to unlock more t4 perks. But that’s about it

[limber thicket]

lvl to 30, then buy from armory\melk or roll greys from armory till you get desired stats -> upgrade

that's about it

everything else you can switch at any time either for free or for a small cost at the omnissiah shrine

[wise depot]

Hmm, ok, might be worth looking into what stats I’m trying to achieve then huh

[limber thicket]

only thing you can't change is the stats, like mobility damage etc.

[wise depot]

Thank you

[modest tangle]

can i advance in havoc ranks by completing any mission above my current assignment?

[fickle ether]

Yes and depending on how high of a rank you beat compared your own you can skip havoc ranks. Let me link the thing for that one sec

[tight olive]

is there any way to skip the difficulty lock? my zealot and psyker are both at auric, but my vet for some reason is at malice.... even though all been maxed since the game came out

[blazing idol]

Have you ever played a game higher than Malice on your Vet?

[tight olive]

i skipped the campaign on vet but its still like this even though i played damnation on it, but i guess i just havent done auric for him?

[tight olive]

yea

[keen flume]

You need to complete 10 damnation missions to unlock auric

[vocal nacelle]

How often you played with your vet?

[tight olive]

yea im just saying my vet is still at malice somehow

[tight olive]

....... last time i played him was like a year ago lmao

too far back?

[vocal nacelle]

It could be total completed mission is less than the requirements needed to unlock auric

[tight olive]

no im saying

he is locked to malice

and i need to unlock the other diffs

[vocal nacelle]

Your vet penance is 60/60?

[tight olive]

nah

[lilac pebble]

Just grind it out real fast

Malice and heresy if you're confident shouldn't be that hard to finish up

[tight olive]

i mean its just annoying cos i bought his new skin

[keen flume]

[blazing idol]

I cannot think of a reason why it would be locked to Malice unless you had not completed some missions of a higher difficulty already.

[lilac pebble]

Yeah if you had heresy and damnation penance unlocked it shouldn't have been locked.

[vocal nacelle]

The game probably check the total completed mission on your vet per difficulties and says it's lacking

[lilac pebble]

Complete 5 of each

[vocal nacelle]

Just speedrun rolling steel

[blazing idol]

Possibly you only did like 1-3 Heresy+?

Or Fat Shark hates you specifically idk

[lilac pebble]

Not to be toxic. But you definitely haven't finished it up that's why it isn't unlocked. I had damantion off the rip

[tight olive]

this feels correct but theres absolutely no way ive only done 3 damnation missions on vet if ive played this many

absolutely no way if i already have auric on psyker with only 48 missions total

ah whatever

ill grind it out eventually

[limber thicket]

3 ppl just disconnected at the exit elevator in Auric Mael lmao

I somehow was left alone and finished the mission

[keen oracle]

Quality servers strike again

[ripe fossil]

hey uhhhhhh so the only diff between those two weapon model are the 3rd light attack being horizontal or vertical ?

[polar forum]

there's hidden statistical differences

rashad is a god tier weaon

achlys is bad

just use rashad

[ripe fossil]

LOL I hate this game. Can you provide a video or something to learn about what Mk is the best? What about the 3rd axe?

[polar forum]

idk if there's any video guide on this

HOTE guide in the vet class pins will give you an overview

[polar forum]

also just a worse rashad

though not as bad as achlys

[limber thicket]

Pressing the "Play" button in the terminal often doesn't do anything. Anyone know what the issue could be?

[void lintel]

So when are these stupid devs gonna make it possible to play alone+??

[leaden lion]

no comment from them 😁

[vocal nacelle]

You can check in psykanium

[graceful raptor]

i hope never

[vocal nacelle]

In 5 year

[graceful raptor]

why playing alone when you can play in a team, save them and be saved, support them and so on

[vocal nacelle]

Or just use mods

[graceful raptor]

listen to banters

how do i build evi?

Thankfully we never getting it as we requested

[hidden adder]

yellow damagen umbers are crits right?

[keen oracle]

Yellow is a weakspot hit

Orange is a crit

[hidden adder]

when did they switch this

what a strange choice

[smoky ember]

when they switched a lot of weapon mark names around

yeah

it was weird

[keen oracle]

[hidden adder]

yellow = brighter = more damage in most people's heads id imagine

maybe im tweaking

i guess actually its darker than white which is a regular hit, orange being darkest and therefore most damage makes more sense lol

[untold grotto]

Yall got any tips for the Shocking Stuff penance? Been trying forever and getting nowhere

[frigid echo]

play auric, use flamer, coordinate with team, ask for help in LFG channel

[untold grotto]

Alrighty. Thank you

[chrome rivet]

yall ever seen this bug before? my homeworld is cadia and yet its telling me i need to change my eyes.

[crystal stream]

Yeah it's an issue

The game doesn't remember your history since the DLC update so if you pick Cadian eyes it will always think they're invalid, and you have to either pick a different eye color or pay 50K to re-select Cadia as your homeworld (every time)

[quiet moat]

I completed Auric Maelstrom mission and can't play Havoc. Fat Fish explain

[limber thicket]

you have to do a Maelstrom

[quiet moat]

sry yea yea yea I did that!

[shadow skiff]

Did you talk to Dukane before and have the quest to do a maelstrom before?

[quiet moat]

She doesn’t wanna talk to me idk

[chrome rivet]

also does anyone know how to fix the extreme stuttering and lag with darktide?

its been an issue for awhile and i have yet to find a fix for it.

[shadow skiff]

Then either FS broke it for new players or something is the issue. I'm assuming lvl 30 and have watched/skipped every cutscene and finished every campaign mission to date?

[lean grove]

anyone know what the icon for the karnak twins mission looks like on the mission board? I've been trying to watch for it but never seen anything for it. I missed some penances for it.

[kindred inlet]

gotta do the campaign to find it again

or use mmt mod

[quiet moat]

Pretty much. Maybe I missed something. Appreciate the help

[violet blade]

random question, if i got a friend to play darktide for the first time, would he be forced to do the campaign or is he given the option to skip it? i know for myself since ive been around for a bit i have the option but im not sure about him

[kindred inlet]

doubt you have a choice since it's the new campaign

[solar basin]

no choice.

Is Excise-Vault-Spireside missing AGAIN? Apparently i completed the campaign but i never saw it on the board at any point.

[violet blade]

unlucky, not too much of a fan of the lockouts on the higher difficulties until you do enough of previous difficulty, all that stuff

[void jay]

Do people make key binds to spam certain weapon combos?

[vocal nacelle]

there's mod for that yea

[trail parcel]

Could anybody here help me get the Just a Flesh Wound penance?

[tiny rain]

can't help, but heres a friendly tip: play rolling steel on heresy. took me 9 minutes to complete it

[severe loom]

How many weakspots does plague ogryn have?

I was trying to do some steal zealot th builds for fun and i noticed in psykranium that i was getting a bunch of different numbers despite maintaining consistent buffs

With stealth and full martydom 6 stacks, i managed to get in the back when trying to aim for the vent, 21k remaining, 15k, and 8.9k remaining, I made sure i had zero buffs when doing it

I dont understand how im getting 3 different damage values

IT seemed like when i was aiming for the top left side of the vent it was getting damage numbers less than 21k remaining?

[woeful root]

enemies have dmg modifiers depending on the hitzones/area of the body that your attack hits

e.g., the obvious examples are arms/legs which almost all (if not all) take reduced ranged dmg (usually 0.5x, 0.25x, etc.)

bosses have these all around their body

e.g., it's this same dmg modifier system which is how dogs/mutants/etc. take 3x melee damage

there's a chart that commissartyr made but i forgor where it is

and just to be clear, weakpots are a separate system from this

if you don't see double lines on your hitmarker, then what you hit is not a weakspot

[graceful raptor]

head

[woeful root]

here's a list that shows the approximate hitzones and their dmg modifiers https://imgur.com/a/DqmYpV1//layout/grid
caveat: this is from 2+ years ago, so a lot of stuff here is outdated (e.g., health & hitmass of almost every enemy if not all here are wrong)
but the hitzones should for the most part be correct

[severe loom]

WHATTTT

[inland lichen]

Autoplay bugged? Feels like I've been in the 1st story scenario forever

Back to back mission 1s

[severe loom]

I dont get how im hitting for like 51k damage though, and sometimes its not? From the back, it tells me its a weakspot beacuse of the double lines

But im still getting different values

Crit shoulnd matter because ability ameks 10% crit chance

[woeful root]

hmm i'm not sure then
prob have to record a video and/or somebody more knowledgeable comes around
having the healthbar mod would help to get the dmg values directly instead of reading off of numericui

[severe loom]

bro i think

i was tring around and i maanged to one shot basically every boss by hitting the head from the back

Only one i couldnt really get conssistently was chaos spawn, tried for like 20minutes and only got it twice

[woeful root]

yeah, shroudfield thammer is beeg damage

[severe loom]

But i would aim high above the back, jump, and if i got lucky chaos spawn wouldjust die

No disdain or other buffs other than 6 martydom and thrust

With sustained assualt, and headtaker i could be even better, but yea

If i can somehow figure out how to conssitnely hit the head from the back i could just one shot everything

[royal merlin]

Who here runs around in underwear

[severe loom]

i recorded it lmao

im only using stealth and that one node next to it, martydoom, and thrust as buffs. I made sure for the most part not to include disdain and sustained assault or anything else

it seems like u can somehow hit the head from the back to get the backstab buff and also head weakspot buff, my theory atleast

[woeful root]

ye

weakspot priority in this game is pretty lenient in this game

[severe loom]

thats why for me atleast, it was more consistent jjumping

but its so weird and hard to replicate

[woeful root]

so if the hitbox of your melee touches the head, even if it touches the body, it will prioritize the head

[severe loom]

really hmm

its decent on ogryn but

i couldnt really get it consistent on chaos spawn

it takes like 5-10 tries

tbh probably impossible to do in game unless someone stuns it

[opal stirrup]

Hey guys, getting to Auric Maelstrom now, any tips on getting auric storm survivor title?

[little coyote]

stack up on toughness, stay in coherency and dodge a lot

[limber thicket]

don't die

[keen oracle]

Cherry pick missions

Extra bursters, Muties, hounds and barrels at your own peril

[frosty crag]

can someone who actually knows the answer please tell me what the 2 represents? It's not prestige, so don't answer with that, it's annoying the fuck out of me

[rancid raft]

this feels like a stupid question, but to get auric storm survivor do I have to complete all 5 games in one session, or can I close the game after completing 2-3 missions and keep my progress?

[late valley]

You can close

You can also go do a different difficulty and come back

[rancid raft]

Ok, thanks

[little coyote]

It is prestige, it just doesn't go even with the full level as if you were to divide it by 30. It is the amount of xp needed to level up to thirty instead. (the lower levels are less xp thus making the true level and prestige level uneven)

I know it's a bit confusing but that is what it actually is

[stiff blaze]

Idk where I can ask this its not actually seeking help but I have questions other people can use same names? I seen guy wearing same cosmetics with me a.k.a victor saltzpyre witch hunter cosmetics and his name Vector but mine Victor I'm the only one has Victor named Zealot?

[steel tulip]

Everyone else can use the same names

[stiff blaze]

I seen one guy Named Saltzpyre other Vector but didint seen anyone named Victor thats why I wondered if theres a limit and somehow I'm lucky.

[steel tulip]

You're not lucky, it's just that you haven't meant another person named "Victor" yet. Character names are not restricted from person to person, in fact you can readily change it whenever you want to whatever you want.

[stiff blaze]

Thanks for answer.

[crystal stream]

Fixed in today's patch hooray

Fixed an issue where backstory choices were randomized at the start of an operation in the Barber-Chirurgeon instead of using the player saved backstory.

[clear basalt]

You're generally expected to stick somewhat together right?

[kindred inlet]

yes

[vocal nacelle]

on higher difficulty yes

if you play like 1-3 difficulty, most of them are new player ish

[clear basalt]

Followup question in that case.
I play Ogryn and when there were a ton of enemies including two of those big armoured ones with shields, I taunted so they take increased damage and focus on me. I figured it'd be good so everyone else would be able to kill them then.

But everyone ran off instead leaving me kind of trapped with a lot of enemies

Did I make the wrong choice there?

[vocal nacelle]

nope, you can just kill the taunted enemy by yourself

[clear basalt]

I wasn't able to get a hit in (probably because I'm not good enough yet), so I eventually got stuck in a corner unable to move anywhere

[vocal nacelle]

what weapon are you using

[clear basalt]

Slabshield

[vocal nacelle]

spam more heavy attack

[clear basalt]

I'll try that next time, thanks!

[vocal nacelle]

also charging the heavy attack doesnt increase your damage unless you have weapon blessing called thrust, you can just release the moment the heavy animation started

[clear basalt]

That's good to know! I actually thought it did increase damage. Going to have to pay more attention to when the animation actually starts

[keen mulch]

My entire team got thrown back into The Morningstar in the middle of our havoc mission. Have not been able to join more havoc missions because it’s counting the mission as “ongoing” even though the whole team got the error code. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

[brittle wave]

can someone tell me why campaign level 9 is messed up? it doesn't allow me to pass a certain point and crashes the server, forcing me back to character select

[zealous dome]

What map is that?

Refinery Delta?

Because that map is bugged for now

[brittle wave]

yeah refinery delta

[frosty tusk]

Is there a fix to it? Already tried veryfying game files

[woeful root]

restart steam to see if a new version of darktide pops up for you to download?

[flint lotus]

Is there an updated wiki where I can read about certain mechanics? I want to read more about the bleed, brittleness, and rending mechanics

[polar forum]

Kulis guides on steam

Also HOTE guide in vet pins

[chrome rivet]

Are they gonna fix the known disconnect issue?

[crystal stream]

I mean, if it was announced as a known issue

If we are talking about the game's sensitivity to connection instability then I have no idea

[shadow skiff]

Is the same in 4. Dogs hard carry 1-3.

[solemn roost]

is stagger and impact the same?

[chrome rivet]

impact makes more stagger

[solemn roost]

i see, ty

and what staggers?

[inland lichen]

Do the devs have a roadmap or news about class reworks?

[stoic locust]

No

They don’t have a roadmap in general

[chrome rivet]

certain weapon moves, basically just use riot baton and shield. that thing staggers like a mf

[frigid echo]

development:

[solemn roost]

ty!

[smoky ember]

a link to them is pinned

[rare falcon]

Are people still having issues with havoc? Couple hours ago me and my team got to the very last section of a slog of a mission and then we all got disconnected. We all RQ'd after that im just curious if its worth trying.

[void jay]

Just got DC'd midway in a Havoc

[frigid echo]

im a few havocs in and no DC so far 🤞

[void jay]

Must be nice lmao

Atoma's Elite Guard must be done from the very start right? Can't join one midway?

[shadow skiff]

Start from lobby or high chance you get nothing for the risk.

[ivory linden]

Does psyker blitz count as ranged kills for bounties?

[high hill]

Any Advice for getting the "Dodge This (3)" Penance? - 15 Headshot kills in 10 seconds
(Tried looking it up online but the posts I found tend to be around a year old)

[vocal nacelle]

Psyker brainburst, recon lasgun, infantry autogun, plasma headshot, helbore with cleave blessing

[onyx jasper]

How much does empowering my weapons actually increase my damage? is it noticable?

[vocal nacelle]

from what to what

[onyx jasper]

Im talking in general

[vocal nacelle]

from 300 to 500 its very noticable

[onyx jasper]

like how much stronger is 300->350

Because the number on the light attack went from 197 to 202

That doesnt seem like much

[vocal nacelle]

example you need 3-4 shot to kill a trapper on basic grey to 1-2 shot correctly built weapon

[onyx jasper]

If i activate this with a combat shotgun, and switch weapons, does the melee weapon benefit from this? Or does the buff disappear

[vocal nacelle]

3.5s

it only affect your ranged

the blessing can affect zealot throwing knife

[frozen skiff]

mid shotgun perk

"close" was broken I think sometime ago

[void forge]

nah close range was never broken, FS was just very unclear with what constituted close range

causing players to think it was broken

classic FS

[ivory linden]

What’s close range ?

Like the distance

[vocal nacelle]

12.5 Meter

[ivory linden]

Thank you @vocal nacelle

[craggy minnow]

Trying to use terminus warrant and it won't tell you how many stacks of either side you have

[shadow skiff]

Mod or learn to play by feeling, lul.

[craggy minnow]

im just bearing with it until i get the penances then im not going to use it ever again

im glad i spread out my penance progress they shrank them to right past what i'd already done

I think i had like 650 execution order kills and 1800 arbites gunner

[shadow skiff]

Heh. They need to shrink the numbers for penances on base classes.

[graceful raptor]

they need to add hardcore penances for arbitrator

"kill 100000 dudes" is just bad

[solemn roost]

how come some people are now over lvl30?

[limber thicket]

you are either seeing Havoc rank or installed True Level mod

[solemn roost]

no mod,. so prolly havok

ty tho!

[flint lotus]

Does +10% experience on curios affect weapon mastery levels?

Also, I'm running execution order on Arbitrator right now, and I don't see the icons popping up on the bottom, so I can't tell if its triggering. I'm running lone wolf, if you think that may affect it.

[clear plume]

it does not

[flint lotus]

unreal, i've been wasting 3 curio perks for the last 3 years

[rocky crow]

How often does global havoc level reset happens? Like the one which drops everyone 10 levels down

[vocal nacelle]

New season, big update

[rocky crow]

So new season starts only with big updates?

[vocal nacelle]

Usually 3-6 months

[opal stirrup]

Yo question, does joining midgame for Auric Maelstorm not count towards the streak? should i just leave mission?

[shadow skiff]

Does not count.

[void jay]

is the Liquid Wrath penance kill 50 under a single Combat stimm or across all stims?

[opal stirrup]

Just got it auric storm survivor

thanks!

[regal thunder]

Anyone happen to have a link to an updated FOV changer mod>

[shadow skiff]

Across all stims.

I just played my first few havoc missions, and I have a possibly dumb question.

Is it possible to skip the shielded captain minibosses? Just run into the next security checkpoint and hit the button once everyone is inside?

They'll spawn in the next area typically

[rain escarp]

Thank you kindly for the response! Then I guess it's best to take care of them ASAP.

is there any way to change loadout order?

excluding manually swapping all the equipment and talent points ofc

[thin crest]

Im struggling to get the 20 headshots in a row penance what do yall reckon is best build to do it

[craggy minnow]

Infantry lasgun probably

Dont take difficult shots

Its really easy if you only shoot enemies when they're like 15 feet away

[shadow skiff]

Brain burst on psyker.

Just bb 20 walkers in solo uprising mortis at some ungodly hour.

[keen flume]

Brain Burst psyker

[onyx jasper]

Is it possible to power level a friend? And if so, does it really make it much faster?

[violet ermine]

You can sometimes bypass the level gate and put them in a higher mission, but thats a bit of a dick move unless theyre good

Mortis trials at the hardest difficulty they can do gives a bunch of xp, but you'll wanna unlock the level progression system for them

[thin crest]

nvm I made it with autogun

[ivory linden]

Does the smite, needles and brain burst count as ranged kills?

What about grenades, rocks and electric doggo?

[shadow skiff]

Doing higher than locked will still add progress to the bar btw.

[onyx jasper]

Wait this game has a perfect block?

[keen flume]

Yes

[graceful raptor]

no...

[shadow skiff]

Attacks hit 0.3 sec after priming the block is perfect blocked.

[graceful raptor]

you're imagining things

🥹

[zealous dome]

Yes and no

It only exists to proc certain talents and blessings

If you don't have those

Nothing changes

all those hours in FromSoftware games finally coming in clutch

Does the 5 second strength buff from full bore also apply on the shot that triggers it, or only any shots in the next 5 seconds?

At which point will these start getting completed? I've played 2 games with 0 progress made and it's a bit frustrating to have 3 penances stuck at 1 entry remaining

[shadow skiff]

Luck based. I did all of them already. But it is annoyingly pure RNG.

[dusty marten]

what are the odds of all 3 getting stuck like this without at least one completing first

[shadow skiff]

Not sure. But I remember spending a week hunting for 1 chapter, lul.

Hello I am new to mods and have tried updating Mez's modpack from the steam guides but I get this error and crash when I try to load up my character, anyone familiar with this?

GUID: 7ea5ded1-ea20-41e0-a124-a3803a928ac2
Log File:
Info Type:

[Script Error]: scripts/managers/ui/ui_hud.lua:230: attempt to index local 'class' (a boolean value)

[shadow skiff]

Have you checked to see if the mods are updated recently before installing them?

[regal thunder]

yeah, I think I did it correctly haha which is probably why there is a problem... im not 100% sure

It was working before I did the newest update and I was able to troubleshoot it before by following the file paths but not sure what to do about a script error

[shadow skiff]

Looks like a UI mod. Though might be better to ask in the modding Discord.

[regal thunder]

Cool beans, I will try with disabling those and seeing if I can get anything then ill try the discord! Cheers

[leaden lion]

how am i supposed to do a lot of boss dmg w/ knife on zealot?

[young heart]

Good news! You dont

[limber thicket]

you whip out your bolter

[stoic locust]

Attack them

[zealous dome]

Real talk

You dodge

Proc Duelist talent AND Precognition blessing

Then you hit them with your mega juiced weakspot critical damage

[leaden lion]

i should be using mk 6 for the knife, right?

(for not speedrunning)

[shadow skiff]

Generally, yes. Zealots can make use of mk3 though.

[tribal willow]

Do grimoires block the untouchable penance?

[fickle ether]

I would say they do

[leaden lion]

im considering using shock maul for the fastest weapon that has skull crusher (w/ flamer on zealot)

just kinda want a second opinion

[void jay]

For Serial Killer I can just use Psyker Brain Rupture 20 times in a row right?

[shadow skiff]

Yes.

Do note the mortis trial bb indulgence only counts the initial bb.

It's actually bad if you are going for the penance. XD

[leaden lion]

what do i run for thammer?

[tepid zenith]

looking to help anyone with assist for Havoc missions 20/50

[onyx knot]

is there an effective way to maintaining agro from the twins?

[vocal nacelle]

Deal damage

Or be taunt ogryn

[chrome rivet]

trying to do the Malleus Monstronum penance, does it specifically have to be Brain Burst or can it be the upgraded variant Brain Rupture?

[vernal plaza]

Both works

[chrome rivet]

and yet i did 100% of the damage to the monstro on heresy and it still didnt give it to me

[limber thicket]

curious

[vernal plaza]

Have you set the game to private?

[chrome rivet]

it was a private game, full squad too.

[vernal plaza]

Thats weird, its how i did it ages ago, boss spawn, kite them while bbing their entire health using rupture, penance
I know you can do weakened monstro these days

Maybe try redoing on some monstrosity maelstorm, private ofc

[fluid bough]

how do i get the box currency fast?

[shadow skiff]

Did you last hit? You need to last hit as well.

[leaden lion]

Havoc 40 clears

Or I guess orthus offensive

[fluid bough]

what about at lvl 37\

[leaden lion]

That works

[fluid bough]

27**

[leaden lion]

Will give a lot

H40 gives 23K per week

[chrome rivet]

like i said previously i did 100% of the damage to it, had an ogryn keep it occupied in the corner.

[limber thicket]

character level or havoc level?

I'm thinking character level xdd

[fluid bough]

character

[shadow skiff]

Did you use quickplay for it or picked a mission?

[leaden lion]

Were you the one who set it to private?

[limber thicket]

yeah, well, push for higher difficulties and play the game, simple as

do some Havoc, once you're comfortable with Damnation difficulty. Up to 15 should be doable if you can do Damnation

[shadow skiff]

Because quickplay sets the game to public for some reason.

[chrome rivet]

yes i was the one who set it to private.

[chrome rivet]

it was a picked mission

[leaden lion]

You got the final hit right?

[chrome rivet]

i got 100% of the damage

[leaden lion]

I don’t know then

[shadow skiff]

Chances are, the public private game bug. It happens at random and is annoying.

[keen oracle]

You don't need to

[leaden lion]

Oh I am misremembering then

[shadow skiff]

But it does matter at times. Had it fail cos bots stole the last hit on one boss so I just provoked the DH later and they got the penance with the last hit.

[keen oracle]

Only if they've not enough damage

I've seen it completed twice without that last hit

[leaden lion]

has double shroud hit been patched?

[shadow skiff]

They should have based on the burst damage. The bots basically chip.

[limber thicket]

is there a way\mod to disable crouching?

[vocal nacelle]

unbind crouch?

you cant slide tho

[patent jasper]

You could always just bind it to a key you never use / is entirely out of the way on your keyboard

[onyx jasper]

Is it possible to get the stats on this higher than 80%

[keen oracle]

No

[limber thicket]

I wouldn't be able to slide then

[shadow skiff]

Technically, but it's a bugged weapon and usually a point lower than normal. It's caused by weird roundings on UI but the game actually just rounds them down in the end.

[limber thicket]

you can get 4 80s and 1 61 but I've never heard of an 81 in stat
and yeah that 61 means that one of the 80s is actually 79.x

[inland lichen]

So my havoc assignment has this lock symbol on it and it says im in a strike team when im currently not, and every time i either join a new strike team or make my own, it says a player is ineligible to participate in an assignment. What's up with this?

i havent played havoc in like 2 or 3 days

anyone willing to help me out with the Malleus Monstronum penance if possible😅? (While on Heresy threat or higher kill a Monstrosity after damaging 50 of its health with your Brain Burst. "private match only")

[high hill]

Does "stripped down" Blessing work with "That the best you got" Penance or does it invalidate progress so one can't use the blessing?

[leaden lion]

how does the crits benefit flamer? do the dots crit? i don't understand why its so big for the damage unless dots can crit

[frigid echo]

crits apply double stacks of burn iirc

[leaden lion]

then why does strength matter so much?

most flamers use stuff for strength i see

[zealous dome]

Damage and stagger

It's also multiplicative with other damage boosts

So the end result is better

[leaden lion]

i thought that the flamer base dmg was bad

like 20 dmg

[shadow skiff]

If you still need it, give me a poke around 30 mins later

[zealous dome]

Like 90% of flamers damage comes from the stacks of fire

Which are affected by Strength

[leaden lion]

how so?

i don't think ive seen the dot crit

[fickle ether]

Need to hit Cancel ongoing Deployment - R sometimes it bugs and thinks your in a team your not really in. Wont derank you or anything

[zealous dome]

Strength is also damage and buffs fire damage

[leaden lion]

how does it do it

is there any way i can do creature spawner or psykanium stuff in solos? like invisiblity etc.

[zealous dome]

Only with mods

[leaden lion]

which mods

because i can't find them

[zealous dome]

Creature Spawner

[leaden lion]

i have that

it isn't working in solo

im in solo mod clandestium gloriana rn

nvm

im dumb

[fickle ether]

Be like that

[leaden lion]

invis and no dmg and ult regen aren't working though

[zenith tendon]

can anyone help with the on overwatch mission

[fiery juniper]

Any advice for completing the “survive 5 auric maelstrom missions” penance? I keep losing my streak. I main vet with a bolt pistol and chain sword, with mostly buff/melee talents.

[graceful raptor]

Vet is weak, better change to ogryn or arbitrator

[vernal plaza]

Not pointing out the chainsword?

[graceful raptor]

Zealot with relic sword and chorus can also work

Chainsword is bad

But vet is a bigger problem

[fiery juniper]

Vet is what I’ve got the most time in. My ogryn has no gear at 500 and I don’t even have a zealot. Never liked them lore-wise so never played em

[graceful raptor]

Ok (?)

Ah its you

Nm

I thought some other guy just said it

[fiery juniper]

I understand the confusion 🤣

[graceful raptor]

Well, i also have 600+ level vet, and hes just for fun

If i go havoc, i better take ogryn or arbitrator

They simply have stronger perk trees

Vet and zealot need changes, devs know about it so we just have to wait

Dunno about psyker, my least played class

[fiery juniper]

I didn’t realize that changes for vet were in the works. I have been feeling a little underpowered compared to the squads of arbitrators

[graceful raptor]

Yeah no shit

When i see 5 ragers coming to me i know im dead

On ogryn or arbi - let them come

[graceful raptor]

About being in the works - they just said they know about zealot problem, officially

Nothing about vet - but im sure they know

[leaden lion]

ive heard some people say the mk6 knife is better than the mk3 can someone explain?

[vocal nacelle]

you might as well use bolter

[polar forum]

Has an actual moveset

Including better single target damage

And can use heavies for horde clear

[leaden lion]

so im supposed to be light attacking bosses?

[polar forum]

For mk6? PA

[leaden lion]

i dont know what PA means

[polar forum]

For mk3 PA and you can throw in heavies too

[leaden lion]

push attack?

[polar forum]

Push attack

Yah

[leaden lion]

okie

i feel like the mk 6 is anti synergistic w/ fotf

or rather the ease of access for the third heavy on demand with duelist to fotf weakspot hit seems very demanding

and i thought i was just supposed to train the horde until i can flamer so AoE wouldn't matter

i am trying to do knife flamer zealot b/c i haven't done a lot of it

[smoky ember]

i’m pretty sure the PAs on both MKs deal the same damage

and mk3 has a better single target loop aside from PA

being the quicker punch light loop

[zealous dome]

Mk6 is pa 10% faster

Or something like that according to Path

[zenith tendon]

does the suicide bomber's explosion count as mellee damage?

hey guys, i'm completly new on this game and i got questions, first do my money and stuff are for all my characters ? and is it ok to up one, and then strat a new one right after to get all soon and play what i want when i want ?

[frigid echo]

Money and materials are for all characters, but equipment is separate.

you can keep making new characters if you want to try them all out.

[shadow skiff]

Yes, if you like shared weapons. You still need to master unique ones.

[kind kraken]

not that bad, thx

[split silo]

what dose no tughness grace period mean

[woeful root]

toughness grace is a mechanic where, when your toughness is broken, you gain +85% or whatever ranged damage reduction for a short period.

[soft pollen]

I just completed my first Havoc (yay!) and now I'm rank 5. Question: will my rank be erased starting next week? Will I get demoted? Or do i get to keep my current rank until I improve? Ty

[limber thicket]

no, you'll keep your rank unless you lose 3 missions in a row

it gets lowered by 10 I think every major update

[soft pollen]

I see, thanks for explaining

[fickle ether]

There is rank decay built in that happens if you don't play havoc at all that week knocks you down 1 rank for that week. Can play any havoc rank tho so in your case you could do a H1 and it'll prevent your H5 from the decay

[soft pollen]

Ah yes that's what I was fearing. I guess I have no choice but weekly for the rest of my gamer life lol

[fickle ether]

Yea it's kinda stupid however iirc you dont have to win that match for it to prevent rank decay. Dont quote me on that tho I don't fully remember where I saw that

[brittle compass]

What is rending in this game?

[graceful raptor]

you deal more damage to armor

[brittle compass]

Ohh ok makes sense

[graceful raptor]

to carapace, unyelding, flak and something else

[arctic patio]

is there anything ingame that tells me what Mk of weapon i should use or is there any resource online i can find? some are kinda obvious but some not at all

[graceful raptor]

"should use"

for 40 havoc and sometimes for auric yes

for everything else you pick whatever you want

[arctic patio]

i get it, but what resources can i use to know what weapon and/or Mks are really good for endgame content?

[graceful raptor]

i doubt there is one universal guide to it

there is for ogryn weapons at least

maybe for arbitrator also

[arctic patio]

saw on veteran guide too (though hard to judge because its only icons and not letters lol) but not much for zealot, i use some youtube videos as reference for now

[polar forum]

hammer of the emperor guide in the vet class pins should be still mostly up to date

there's also a zealot guide in the zealot class pins

[arctic patio]

aye both ive been using, but idk if vet weapon tier list applies to zealot aswell, as i use those as reference to learn whats good and what isnt

like combat axe Mks i cant tell the difference but apparently one is better than the rest?

[polar forum]

yeah rashad is just better than the rest

[arctic patio]

🗿

[modest marten]

is it just me or is the inferno modifier just incredibly hard? you get spammed by flamers and bombers and you dont see sh*t

[frigid echo]

yeah i love inferno!

[sleek kiln]

could anyone help me with the cliff hanger penance?

everytime i try it randoms just kill my horde

[gleaming mantle]

anyone know why my I'm dying without going down in Havoc?

when I'm not missing my wound?

[fickle ether]

What havoc rank you playing? H30 and above iirc crushers and maulers deal so much corruption damage in a overhead they now insta kill everything besides ogryns

Also all melee deals more corruption damage by default think it's 30% more

[gleaming mantle]

wait, ALL melee enemies deal corruption??????

also I'm 22

[fickle ether]

it's a % of the attack yes on H22 the melee modifiers are 50% attack speed 30% more damage and attacks gain 20% corruption so I guess even that low overheads can still insta kill

[vocal nacelle]

yes, you get hit by crusher its straight to heaven

unless you are an ogryn

[fickle ether]

Site I use to see the hidden modifiers case you want to take a look https://darktide.gameslantern.com/havoc

[gleaming mantle]

what's "player venting speed"?

[polar forum]

the speed at which psykers fart peril

[gleaming mantle]

seems odd to buff their quell speed, but tbh they probably need it

[polar forum]

I thing they vent slower

Despite what the numbers indicate

[shadow skiff]

Or Until death zealot. Arby can eat one with True Grit from memory.

[polar forum]

@clear plume random question but do you have any tips for fighting BON 1 on 1 in melee?

[clear plume]

stay by its arms

[polar forum]

the puke seems to hit me when i'm dodging really close

circle strafe it?

[clear plume]

it has a tell for its puke

[polar forum]

yeah ig my timing is off sometimes

[clear plume]

[polar forum]

Thanks

yeah idgi

seems to keep randomly counting me as puked on

fucking hate this boss so much

[leaden lion]

Does pus hardened affect dots?

[foggy plume]

Does picking up crates slow me down or have any downside such as Dodge speed or distance?

[little coyote]

crates?

[foggy plume]

Ammo or med

[little coyote]

nah, no downsides

[foggy plume]

Why do so many people refuse to touch them then

[little coyote]

lack of awareness or they expect someone else who needs them more often to pick them up

like I rarely pick up an ammo crate as a psyker because I will never need it

unless everyone else has a crate already

[foggy plume]

The someone else will do it mentality would make sense

Thanks

[little coyote]

🫡

[vocal nacelle]

tunnel vision

[shadow skiff]

I mean, just pick it up anyway if they left it. Can always swap for medikit if needed.

[little coyote]

if no one else is around to pick it up then sure

but if we're in a group I don't rush in to get them because I know they'd need it more than I will

[shadow skiff]

True, last resort is shove it into them, yes.

[keen oracle]

They may have scriptures or grimoires taking up a slot.

[ivory linden]

How do you do that it the meat grinder !??

[ivory linden]

Like fight the enemies and they don’t just stand there

[shadow skiff]

PC only mod.

[ivory linden]

Awn 😔

[glass terrace]

so if i'm buying profane weps from armory looking for good rolls, what should i do with the leftover profane weps? upgrading them just to sacrifice them seems wasteful

[ivory linden]

If you have plaststeel to spare get them to green and get exp on your other weapons or the same one for more exp

That’s the best way to get rid of them and progress your masteries

[limber thicket]

it's not, plasteel is in abundance

if you don't need the mastery progress - just discard them for cash

[glass terrace]

thanks!

[elfin prism]

what is a damage meter?

[clear plume]

Pus is only ranged damaged

So explosions and DOTs are full damage

[velvet sundial]

Sou novo no jogo ja peguei lv 30 PROCURANDO BR grupo pra jogar n sei o que faz no jogo agora

[void jay]

Do certain mobs only spawn on certain difficulties? Tryna farm Crushers

[shadow skiff]

No. You can either gamble in auric mortis or just auric scab only maels.

[void jay]

ty

[vast hull]

anyone else crashing when switching operatives in party?

[leaden lion]

How much do crits increase my damage?

[polar forum]

depends on the weapon but the lower range is 30 percent up to 250+ percent

[leaden lion]

So the scale is dependent on the weapon? Any other factors?

[polar forum]

crit damage talents prob

[leaden lion]

Strength has no affect?

[polar forum]

anything that boosts damage yeah

if we're not just talking strictly about crit

[leaden lion]

So strength only just boosts the base dmg and not the crit?

[polar forum]

i believe but could be wrong, @lime idol would know

[lime idol]

It varies on a per-attack basis

[polar forum]

oof right there's that too

[rigid wasp]

By boosting the base damage they also boost the crit because the crit is a multiplier slapped on the base damage

It's how you could get silly numbers with blessings like thrust

[graceful raptor]

what is this "[!]"

[void forge]

Is it your melks maybe?

[modest marten]

whats going on whith the playerbase right now? since arbitrator dropped so many people are just rushing in public lobbies and youre getting trashed by hordes of enemies that overwhelm the rest of the squad

[keen flume]

Weekend hours

[modest marten]

not even that. ive had that also over the course of the week

its just so annoying and makes me quit the game since you cant enjoy any mathches anymore

[stoic locust]

Matches with absolute creatures are fun

[modest marten]

sry but i dont see fun in getting left alone by some dude that ran away and leaves the team bleeding on the ground

[stoic locust]

Makes things interesting

[modest marten]

games actually 40% loading and queing for me that playing

[stoic locust]

And pushes what I can do

[modest marten]

yeah then do it in private lobbies

instead of griefing everybody elses lobby

[stoic locust]

I’m not the one playing like that in 99% of missions

[leaden lion]

That is intuitive, I was wondering if it doubly affected it

[rigid wasp]

I think they might've mentioned it, but crit damage and weak spot bonuses only increase the bonus, meaning that if you get 100 base damage and doing a crit/headshot adds 50, a 10% bonus to crit or weak point will actually add 5 damage because it's 10% of 50 and not 10% of the total 150 damage you dealt

While if you had 10% strength you'd get 10% of the 150

Which in this fictional case is triple the bonus

[leaden lion]

Thanks!

[rigid wasp]

You can also check the weapon sheet for the base damage values, but also be wary that different attacks not only can have a different base damage, but also a different armor damage modifier. For example, take a look at the difference between unarmored, flak and maniac on both images:

On the first, flak and maniac are around 75% of the unarmored damage, but on the second they're the same

Welcome to Fatshark games

[leaden lion]

How can I find the dmg stats of push attacks?

[rigid wasp]

About that...

Welcome to Fatshark games

[leaden lion]

I hear crusher push attack has great finesse modifier

[rigid wasp]

You don't find out about how ridiculous some push attacks are until you test it yourself or someone tells you about it

[leaden lion]

Like regurgitated level of hearing it

Ah

[rigid wasp]

And also combos are something you can't really bring from weapon to weapon reliably, like "if I did one light attack I'll do the second heavy", or "if I just do heavy attacks on this weapon with 3 heavy attacks I'll loop through all 3"

[leaden lion]

Also

You seem like you know fgs stats

Would that be the case?

[rigid wasp]

Example of wacky combo: Deimos force sword light + heavy is a poke + poke, but if you keep going it becomes a swing + poke

[leaden lion]

Yeah I like mk2 rb, crusher b/c of combos

[rigid wasp]

No, I played it an actual total of 2 games so far

[leaden lion]

Oh

[rigid wasp]

I kind of avoided relic blade since it was released because I mostly play psyker and veteran

[leaden lion]

Ah

[rigid wasp]

So it's more that I avoided zealot

[leaden lion]

I just play original 3 humans

I avoid arb and ogryn

Psyker meta just felt brain dead to me

[rigid wasp]

Zealot builds were mostly set in stone for me, so I couldn't be avant-garde playing ranged zealot because it just sucked

But melee psyker and melee vet were pretty novel

[leaden lion]

I just like complexity

[rigid wasp]

I had fun ignoring the psyker meta, or at least what I understand is the psyker meta

Which is staff spam, bubble and assail

Maybe smite idk

My best warp power is called Zarona

[leaden lion]

Assail meta?

Wut lol

[rigid wasp]

I guess so, it has some funny cleave with the peril cleave talent, is pretty spammable and deals good damage to most elites while having a kinda-aimbot

[leaden lion]

I’ve seen like two assail in my lobbies

They were ehh

[rigid wasp]

Also staggers a lot of enemies, so to me it's a rechargeable gun that allows me to backpedal like a little bitch while mashing my mouse button

[vocal nacelle]

assail fallen off since couple nerf

[leaden lion]

Died a good bit and not a lot of dmg

[vocal nacelle]

Its good on melee psyker tho

[rigid wasp]

I remember when it released

God, every lobby was a fucking assail psyker

[leaden lion]

I’ve been debating doing some melee psyker to make my matches harder

In an interesting way*

[rigid wasp]

It's a pretty fun thing and it feels good when it works

[leaden lion]

I mean does uncanny work w/ assail?

[rigid wasp]

It's a very active defense though, so you rely a lot on empathic evasion and kinetic deflection to get away with the biggest funnies

[leaden lion]

Yeah empathic is nice

[rigid wasp]

I think it does, like soulblaze and bleed

[leaden lion]

Kinetic is ehh

I don’t really need it even if a ritual procs on me

It would have to be like a big aggro dump

Is assail an objective so if I swap to a weapon with puncture while the shards are moving to I apply bleed?

[rigid wasp]

That is actually a good question, I don't know if assail counts as a ranged attack

[leaden lion]

Ik the fgs projectile works with puncture

[rigid wasp]

But it could be the case, after all we had the dog counting

Also, I just realized you asked me about FGS and not relic blade back then

[leaden lion]

That’s why I was shocked

I thought it would be like a fav

[rigid wasp]

I kinda know a bit, been playing a fun psyker knight build thingy

[leaden lion]

But ig taxe and blaze force sword and ds4 and knife are popular

[rigid wasp]

FGS's biggest crime might be not having uncanny strike

It's not that it needs it for the weapon

But psyker can also do stuff like proc soulblaze with talents, and that can be a pretty handy damage bonus

[leaden lion]

Yeah I do that with ds4

When I run purg

Or Deimos if I feel like it

[rigid wasp]

Uncanny + riposte + blazing spirit is a dream

[midnight locust]

how do i unlock auric missions

[stoic locust]

Play damnation and win

Several times

[midnight locust]

thanks

[ivory linden]

Best way to get diamatine is to find some in the missions right?

[vocal nacelle]

damnation or havoc 40

if you are able to do it

[graceful raptor]

auric*

bro's advice data-base is outdated...

[vocal nacelle]

auric got increased drop?

[graceful raptor]

most likely

[vocal nacelle]

im gonna run 1 auric to check brb

[vocal nacelle]

nope still 1.1K plasteel, 300 diamantine

[graceful raptor]

so auric gives same amount of res as damnation

well
