[ocean kernel]

I mean I guess that's one way of looking at it

[smoky ember]

light spam for crushers is specifically referring to uncanny strike with fleshtearer/lacerate

[split vortex]

have a weird question. I come from pvp games where meta is basically required. this is pve but has some difficulty. i was wondering if meta is required at higher stages and difficulties of the game?

[vocal nacelle]

Using "meta" loadout will make your life easier in high difficulty

You can run weird build depending how well your in game knowledge (dodging, kiting, map mastery, priority kill)

If you play high rank havoc mode you gonna need "proper" Build because the game will throw you every BS situation

[split vortex]

so basically, if the build has an intended purpose and you arent bad, you're good to go

[polar forum]

pretty much

though running meta shit will obviously make life way easier

in every mode

[vocal nacelle]

Yes and you picked toughness gain talent on your tree

Not knowing toughness how your class gain toughness is throwing, i seen it a lot

[opaque basalt]

I did my first successful auric maelstrom expecting my Havoc assignment level to jump to 16ish but it's still at level 1. Any ideas what's happened?

[rigid wasp]

Are the havoc rewards randomized guys?

Rescource wise ? Or is it dependant on how many levels in havoc you climb

[keen flume]

Depends how much you can reach clearance level per week

[edgy onyx]

Auric Maelstrom isn't tied to Havoc in any way.

[smoky marsh]

hello i do not find party for Havoc for literally a week, since my lvl of havoc is 3 coz i left the game temporally when it came out

any idea on how to gwt party? i already tried to set the party filters to none so more ppl see it

[fickle ether]

havoc rank = ordo, diamantine , plasteel

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

[cosmic sky]

Just join off other peoples assignments beating someone who's in higher havocs assignment will allow you to rapidly gain ranks. also I'm pretty sure doing an auric maelstrom will put your rank at 16, no one really does havocs below that point @smoky marsh

[smoky marsh]

thanks for answer

the problem is i dont see any party in any day, by doing an auric maelstrom u mean in the mission terminal? o has it to be with someone in the havoc one? @cosmic sky

[cosmic sky]

Yeah the standard mission terminal go to the auric difficulty and do maelstroms

[smoky marsh]

i didnt know that raised havoc lvls

[cosmic sky]

I'm unsure if it's retroactive if you've allready done havocs but I got put to assignment rank 16 initially at 30 cause I had allready done auric maelstrom

[smoky marsh]

i see

[cosmic sky]

You also gotta make sure you have your party finder filtered for havocs

Around 20-40 is where most people use the party finder

[smoky marsh]

thanks for your help, may the emperor guide you

[cosmic sky]

If you need some help with assignments in a week or two hit me up, I'm kind of busy with work for now though.

[edgy onyx]

I don't mind helping you rise through the clearance levels sometime.
I found it easier that way as the difficulty is cumulative, 20 is kinda where it really ramps up, I think I went up to 14ish before jumping into other parties to get a 2-4 level boost up, nothing too drastic of a leap.

[torn cargo]

How effective are these when selected? As an Axe Arbitrator player, any additional melee damage is important for me, but I'm unsure if this node would be that effective for me or not.

[craggy minnow]

Depends if it changes breakpoints

Go into meat grinder and check

[keen oracle]

10% passive is solid honestly, especially with how easy it can be to access

[craggy minnow]

Yeah its probably useful

When cleaving even if you don't need it for first targets

[torn cargo]

Yeah, I do ''feel'' like it's very important in terms of damage. But if someone had done the math on how effective (or, if effective) they are, I'd love to hear it.

[keen oracle]

Will depend on your weapon and build

10% on two swings is better than 15% on only the second and equal on third

[craggy minnow]

There's 10000 things that affect whether you're getting mileage out of it including the combination of every other damage modifier in your build just take it to sefoni lol

I stg people don't want to spend 1 second in the lab checking numbers

There's also the damage calculator which honestly is more effort in most cases

[torn cargo]

I do check & compare builds on Psykianum. Just wanted to ask people's opinion here.

Thanks for the replies. I'll go with %10 melee for now.

[craggy minnow]

Yeah a bit of an overreaction on my part

The real sinners are the people who ask about weapon perks
Put trash on it and see what you can save a hit on with a 25% boost

[shy stone]

I usually theorycraft when I'm away from my computer, because otherwise I would be busy purging with my chain axe

[craggy minnow]

Its probably going to be flak maniac or flak carapace 95% of the time anyway

[hexed palm]

Is anyone who's playing darktide getting curious after mission levels, I'm not getting much. Only weapons, I got curious perks up high with 20+ not receiving any

[shadow skiff]

Luck based is luck based. It could be 99% and you still fail to get it.

[hexed palm]

Maybe true

[limber thicket]

it's not 20% flat chance to get a curio, it's a multiplier to a very low number afaik

just gamble at melk if you need them fast

[hexed palm]

Melk?

Oh right that npc

[final drift]

I seen someone say they spawned in enemies to the meatgrinder. How do I do that? Can I spawn bosses to test?

[smoky ember]

https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/25

and yes

you can spawn all enemies via creature spawner

[final drift]

Oh so it's not built in. Kinda lame

Thanks!!

[smoky ember]

yah agreed

and of course

[craggy minnow]

The vanilla meat grinder is kind of lacking

Like why doesnt it have a dense pack? Or a mixed pack?

You can lab out st breakpoints just fine but good luck testing cleave that's any good

[limber thicket]

you haven't levelled up your relationship status with Sefoni enough

[craggy minnow]

Pog

Giving her a fish every day until her hearts meter maxes out and they add 20 closely packed poxers to meat grinder

[velvet fulcrum]

I think she likes eating amethysts

[main crest]

so if i keep buying white items from the armory i can check the stats to see how far I can empower it based on percentage, and i just have to keep buying whites until it shows if i can upgrade all stats on said weapon to 80% for each category?

[little coyote]

each category cannot be 80%, the best is 80/80/80/80/60 or a mix of that

every weapon maxes out at the same amount of combined percentage

(discounting rounding errors by the UI)

[main crest]

ohhhh okay that makes sense i looked at this one build wrong and assumed they were all at 80, but yeah one is 60 so ill just look for the weapon that is 60 based on the build im looking at

thanks

[little coyote]

No problem

[raw yacht]

Guys i am curious, which classes (besides the arbiter with his op sniper shotgun) can run a shotgun and actually perform decently in auric+ ?
Vet with wep specialist? Which shotguns are not total dogshit?

[red ginkgo]

All the shotguns (except Zarona imo) feel pretty good in Aurics. The slug shotgun from Agripinaa is awesome for sniping with vet, and helps open up bulwarks on zealot. Accatran just has pretty damn good close-up damage so great if you prefer a more melee playstyle on any of the classes.

[keen oracle]

All of them tbh. I run the slug shotgun on zealot quite a lot, double barrel and slug on vet. Can work on psyker too since your guns are mostly for specials and bosses on psyker

[little coyote]

I remember really liking the double barrel as a psyker on auric+ when it came out

[keen oracle]

Funny reload speed build goes hard on DB psyker

[gusty whale]

i don't remember liking any shotguns

but the one with the slug special is alright

arbites "sniper" variant is just a shitty revolver

[torn cargo]

Constantly crashing after the update, without the mods either. Any known reason?

[void forge]

#arbites-class message

Could be this

[torn cargo]

Thanks!

[warped basin]

can you guess whose first time in Damnation it was?
(good luck, we all started somewhere)

[merry dome]

is anyone feeling a performance decrease on high end machines after todays patch

[void forge]

clearly it was your first time if you think these numbers are bad. I've seen someone with 5k+ damage taken

[ornate stag]

does the No Rebreather Required penance (dont trigger 3 grenades in orthus) count party members?

i seemingly didn't trigger any grenades but didn't get the penance

[fickle ether]

Yes

[vocal nacelle]

bot also count

[keen obsidian]

Vet ws with dbarrel is amazing

[shadow skiff]

Arby? Dogs will trigger them.

[violet fox]

Any tips on improving and learning to get better? Like what missions am should do?
I can’t do anything higher than the lowest difficulty

[vocal nacelle]

controller?

learn the ingame mechanic

dodge, sprint slide, dodge slide, block, shove

if you cant do slide atleast learn how to dodge

[warped basin]

I bet your entire argument is that the 5k player wasn't a hindrance
you're certainly free to think so, wasn't the case in my game

I don't even mind those numbers (on missions that aren't twins) unless it snowballs and causes a wipe, like I said we all started somewhere

[languid jewel]

Play that until its easy then go higher.

Maybe watch a melee tutorial or something.

[vocal nacelle]

forgot to tell darktide is not your usual left 4 dead 2 where you can shoot everything

[cedar dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/dodgewrench-dodgeball-gif-22028517

[void forge]

Well your bet is wrong. He was a hindrance of course, but I don't mind because I find that fun. The whole point was that 1k+ damage is actually pretty common, in fact I see that in maybe half of my aurics

[celest halo]

Is there a way to access the Karnak Twins after you have already finished the Campaign on said operative ?

[wheat night]

I think it appears randomly in mission board now?

[vernal frigate]

Since Burst Limiter Override comes with a 15% chance to save ammo, does that mean I only need 9 stacks of Back Off to guarantee a free shot? Or do the chances stack multiplicatively?

[keen flume]

Multiply I think

You can have like only 5 stacks and you still the chance to shoot three in a row if you blessed

[shrewd plank]

Howdy friends, anyone know of where to report bugs?

[vocal nacelle]

#🎒support-issues

[shrewd plank]

Ty apologies

[vocal nacelle]

np

[dusty aurora]

Hi-Int is baked into maelstrom right ?

[vocal nacelle]

auric mission yes

[icy flare]

Just came back to the game after a long break. If I'm playing veteran is the boltgun still a good choice?

[vocal nacelle]

yes

[icy flare]

Cool, thanks! Was between that and a plasma gun, but I don't have one yet lol

[vocal nacelle]

depends on the difficulty most weapon is usable

[icy flare]

So this new weapon mastery thing, they're not passive. They're just for crafting on your weapons?

[keen oracle]

Yes, you need to apply the upgrades at hadrons shop

[worthy dew]

do auric difficulty enemies have more hp than in damnation now? I just got back after like 5 months break

[vocal nacelle]

nope

just more intensity

[worthy dew]

so just like before, this is good to know

[keen veldt]

Can you farm havoc assists off one person? Or does it have to be exactly 50 different people

[red ginkgo]

It can be one person

As long as it's not your assignment, you're goochy

[hexed palm]

I guess, the connection issue needs to be fixed

[main lily]

my game is crashing in the new event pretty frequently (at least once per match). Is anyone else experiencing this?

[vocal nacelle]

current crash caused by too many buffs you received

[main lily]

< round crashed after an ally accidentally killed me so it looks like I rage quit. (It's not giving me the option to reconnect again)

[main lily]

Noted. I guess I'll try to avoid the event for a while then

[vocal nacelle]

its not caused by new event

[main lily]

I played through some normal rounds and it didn't crash. Happened every game of the event so far. Even if it isn't only in the event its' happening more frequently in the event for me

[vocal nacelle]

are you using arbites?

[main lily]

yup

[vocal nacelle]

i heard arbites crashed more frequently

because they have lot of buffs

[main lily]

dang it ><

I'm nearly done my arbites penances too

[vocal nacelle]

if you are on pc , can use mods to fix it

[main lily]

oh? which mods would help?

[vocal nacelle]

https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/579

[hexed palm]

I guess they need a bit of fixing

[main lily]

[keen veldt]

Thanks man

[obsidian belfry]

So what's the point at which the combat knife becomes good? I have one at orange rarity with good blessings and such, but it seems like a way less upgraded assault chainsword just does way better with way less effort. What am I doing wrong? Does it just need a bunch of variables to align in its favor or something?

I guess it pulls decent numbers when I do a backstab power attack with the buffs up, but even then, I'm not coming anywhere near two shotting a plague ogryn like I see high level players doing?

[limber thicket]

you should ask in the relevant class chat, because it highly depends on who is using the knife

but you need to hit heads with it and crit

[zealous dome]

It's the opposite of of a Chainsword

Knife is single target oriented

Chainsword is a horde clearing oriented weapon

[lime thicket]

Anyone been having lots of missing sound/audio issues in game?

[obsidian belfry]

Gotcha. Zealot in this case

[obsidian belfry]

I mean I get that, but I'm still having an easier time killing bosses with the chainsword than the knife

Headshots might be the issue though. I think my crit chance is pretty good

[broken raft]

The knife depends on the mark

[main lily]

Only during the event with a bunch of poxbusters clicking at once

but the game in general has been buggy for me today

[lime thicket]

Glad it's not just me. Only getting these issues in Darktide.

[smoky ember]

the one handed assault chainsword?

or the 2 handed eviscerator

[obsidian belfry]

The one handed one

[smoky ember]

yah then it’s definitely headshots

knife will outdamage chainsword in bosskill in most situations

[modest marten]

this SUCKS. how am i supposed to complete this?

[violet finch]

combat knife or duelling sword are pretty good

its just very good practice for dodging and self sustain

[limber thicket]

do what you did 187 more times

[modest marten]

that will be 60 more matches

probably the single most poorly though out penance

[violet finch]

not really

its decent to learn how to backstab

which is one of the best abilities in havoc

[modest marten]

ive completed every other class in regards of penances and this one just sucks

[violet finch]

😭

[stoic locust]

Combat axe, Tactical Axe, or Heavy Sword (best of the three for this) make this one a lot easier

[violet finch]

imo ds and cb both work better cuz they more geared towards backstabbing

anything with strikedown really

[modest marten]

whats dc and whats cb

[violet finch]

^

more meta

[modest marten]

oh

lol

[modest marten]

yeah i know the meta i wasnt just able to assign thoose abbreviations do to massive smooth brain

[violet finch]

kooked

[stoic locust]

They can only get one target a backstab, weapons I listed can get 4

[violet finch]

but they guarantee kills easier plus they scale with the backstabs really well compared to caxe and taxe and hs

[modest marten]

for backstab it doesnt matter if its a heavy or light attack right? does it matter if the target kets killed via weakspot or not?

[violet finch]

its just the location you are in regards to the enemy

its like roughly 120 degrees of behind them counts as backstab

[modest marten]

biggest issue i have are teammates that are allways running after me

[violet finch]

lol

[modest marten]

fr its like ive bathed in superglue

[violet finch]

the two weapons ive mentioned also help

cuz theyre the fastest weapons zealot has access to

bar taxe

i think

[modest marten]

im using a max mob combat blade

and its not realling working in terms of spee

[violet finch]

how

thats crazy 💀

[modest marten]

arbitrators dogs count torward coherency limit for loner

i believe which is very stupid

[vocal nacelle]

lmao

[craggy minnow]

only if they're running the one of the pack talent or always?

[modest marten]

yeah

only if theyre running the talent

[blissful acorn]

does anyone know where to check the "Light the Fuse!" Progress?

i cant find it anywhere

[stoic locust]

Hold tab and press E until it cycles to it

[blissful acorn]

ohhh

thanks!

[tropic quest]

Quick question does anybody know if the orthus offensive hard mode is still doable?

I was trying earlier today and it didn't seem to be working

[keen oracle]

To my knowledge, the only way to play it is through campaign missions

So you can either hope quickplay gives you the mission or restart the campaign

[tropic quest]

Thanks to the campaign selector mod I can queue it whenever I want however the bell puzzle itself doesn't seem to work

Perhaps I'm messing something up but it seems to fail on the second last bell each time somehow

[keen oracle]

I think there might be something to complete before you can do the bell puzzle but I'm not familiar with it

[gusty whale]

good luck with your penance in this economy

[modest marten]

Yeah i know. I do what i can but its not much. But to be straight ive seen more Ogryns and Vets over the last days than ive seen Pskyers, Shoutys and fellow Lex

[fierce sandal]

why does "always dodge" prevent me from jumping (separate keybind) unless i'm sprinting....i just want to jump when i press jump, and dodge when i press dodge. Is this not possible lol

[modest marten]

its that you still dodge despite pressing W

[fierce sandal]

i like this

but then i can't jump

[modest marten]

but no jumping allowed then

yeah its annoying but it is what it is

[fierce sandal]

okay - that's just how it is then?

gotcha

[modest marten]

yeah. no way around

[keen oracle]

That's the always dodge option in settings?

Something must be up with your keybinds, you can separate those two buttons

[fierce sandal]

they're separate, but as mentioned, if you have always dodge on, you can't jump while "walking"

which is just the way the cookie crumbles i guess

[keen oracle]

It's not something I've noticed 🤔

[warped basin]

anything else I can do to report a player for trying to bypass the language filter besides doing it in game through Social?

[raw yacht]

Did they ship a new veteran nerf? I got instakilled twice by poxbursters as veteran with no wounds and full hp

event map

literally no downed state

straight dead

[stoic locust]

How many hit you

If you take enough corruption to cross into your second wound you will die instantly

And no, no veteran nerfs

[raw yacht]

3 max

this never happened on my zealot or ogryn

[stoic locust]

That would be enough corruption damage

[raw yacht]

and i got hit by more

[stoic locust]

They just hit you exactly right for all 3 to hit you

[raw yacht]

feels kidna BS

[stoic locust]

It kind of is

[keen flume]

Corruption damage by the sound of it

Burster waves go crazy be able to one tap you

Not sure what's the corruption resistance for each human classes but Ogryn is the most durable

[raw yacht]

It makes sense now that you explained it but it still is kind of stupid

[keen flume]

And yeah also two wounds

[raw yacht]

downed state is there for a reason

[keen flume]

Only if your first wound is not fully corrupted

[zealous dome]

No lmao

Poxbursters deal 100 damage

It takes 2 to kill pretty much all classes except Ogryn

Vet and Psyker have 150 base hp

Zealot and Arby's have base 200

Ogryn has base 300

[limber thicket]

3 bursters with base vet hp should put enough corruption to instakill, makes sense

[smoky ember]

yah that happens, like catachan said, alongside the fact that bursters will detonate other bursters, so you can get instakilled pretty easily

[modest marten]

ya see?

[gusty whale]

agony

[modest marten]

pure agony

[vital crown]

hello, is this a good place to ask for help with a penance?

I need someone to go with me into mortis trials and let me solo a monstrosity

I would of course help you in return with any penance you need

[modest marten]

got it. totally didnt took 19 matches

[modest marten]

can curios get +2 wounds?

or is it just +1?

[clear plume]

max wound curio is +1

[modest marten]

sad. still thx for the headsup

[long citrus]

Played since release, took a long hiatus.

Heard difficulty got some adjustment. Back then Heresy > Damnation difficulty had a relative jump.

Is that still the same case?

[modest marten]

what even is the purpose of 410+ curios for wounds?

[clear plume]

nothing

[clear plume]

malice to heresy probably biggest jump

auric is now a seperate difficulty

[long citrus]

So as someone who finds high intensity shocktroop Heresy exhilerating, and have to sweat a bit.

I should sorta be okay to finally step up to Damnation?
Will public matchmake be generally okay? Or should I just bite the bullet and start making friends.

Also. How is Auric different than non-Auric?

Sorry for the hailstorm of questions, I've been wanting to go further than Heresy for a long time now, but it've always been extremely intimidating for me.

[clear plume]

1: Try out the difficulty, no harm done if its too much 2: Public skill level has declined a bit recently (since crafting update about a year ago) up to you if you pub or not, I find it funny. 3: Auric now is coded as intensity 6 which is the highest base game difficulty yet

spacing

F

[long citrus]

Thank you very much for your time 🤍 I shall give it a go. ||eventually||

[clear plume]

go for it

no harm in testing higher difficulty

[shrewd magnet]

where is the best place to farm diamantine?

[gusty whale]

weekly havoc rewards

[shrewd magnet]

and missionwise?

[gusty whale]

used to be damnation difficulty, might be auric now

[shadow skiff]

Is whatever you can loot and win in by yourself.

Most randoms won't really loot anymore.

[vocal nacelle]

still damnation

[vocal nacelle]

if you cant play havoc 40, havoc 16 is good enough

2K diamantine weekly

havoc rank = ordo, diamantine , plasteel

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

[shrewd magnet]

thanks for the info guys

if i start a new class, do i keep my rss

or are they independent?

[vocal nacelle]

resource, mastery are shared

weapon per class

[shrewd magnet]

awesome, thanks

[split star]

Is Blaze Away bugged? I was doing some testing in the Grinder and noticed it wasn't proccing on the buff bar. Usually a weapon blessing that's proccing pops up its icon in the bar yeah? Or are some blessings activated but not placed on the bar?

Edit: NVM, I'm dumb the icon was proccing it just looked a little different from the Blessing Icon. Derp

[opaque dawn]

anyone had issue switching to grenade? i have like plenty of grenades but game wont let me use grenades

[limber thicket]

I remember watching a stream (Ainz maybe?) and he couldn't switch to grenades on zealot

maybe it was reginald or unc

[opaque dawn]

yeah it was annoying, tried back in psykhanium, remapped key, still no go. had to restart the game

[fickle ether]

Havent had this happen in awhile should fix it by holding tab and pulling up that overlay thing for like half a sec

Going down can also fix it iirc

[keen obsidian]

Huh i didn’t know that

What exactly is intensity 6?

[clear plume]

Bascially how agro the dirctor will be

unsure how it looks in code

[keen obsidian]

Ah does it just allow for more specialist?

Is it why tox bombers appear in pairs of 4?

Why do they do that

[tender sand]

So, help me here a bit. What does affect when you can or can't be interrupted during various actions that take time to complete? I know that when you revive/rescue and assist somebody, you are considered blocking - so regular hits from chaff won't interrupt it until I have stamina left, right?
What about solving various puzzles? It seems like any hit interrupts those, even if I have stamina. What if I'm shot at? Will it interrupt puzzles too?
And also I heard something about ogryn being special in that they "cannot be interrupted" - what does it mean? Does it cover all those interactions above, or only some of them?

[lone adder]

Basically, non Ogryn characters are interrupted during mini games if they get hit in melee; if getting shot at, they need to have their toughness bar reduced to 0 in order to be stunned out of the mini game.

Ogryns ignore this completely, even if their toughness breaks.

[tender sand]

What if ogryn tries to revive somebody while being hit, and their stamina runs dry?

[lone adder]

Different system there

I should say, similar but not quite the same

[tender sand]

sorry, I meant stamina..

[lone adder]

Yeah, similarly but instead of toughness its stamina

I think when youre getting shot at, it'll go to your toughness instead of stamina

Ogryns ignore any interruptions from stamina or toughness loss in these situations

[tender sand]

okay, gotcha

thank you

[lone adder]

No problem

[rigid wasp]

On psyker what blessings n perks should i slap on my bolt pistol?

[tender sand]

I usually go with the Puncture and Deadly Accurate

I tried surgical + deadly accurate, but somehow it doesn't work that well, despite weapon seems to be similar to revolver where Surgical is my go-to bless

[gusty whale]

deadly accurate does nothing if you do not crit

[tender sand]

I get it, it's just a filler as I didn't find anything else that would work better than it. I tried a few promising combinations, and this combo allowed the best dps with least possible effort. That's kinda what I need from it on my psyker, to kill an occasional armored elite by a rapid burst of shots, or some specialist

i.e. it's not a main weapon, just a sidearm

[stark ibex]

Quick question: for HAVOC gameplay, is it better to have health curios at higher levels? Given that it’s a flat reduction rather than a multiplicative reduction of toughness?

[vocal nacelle]

Depends on class

2 toughness 1 health is still good

People usually stack golden toughness

And all havoc enemies deal more damage + corruption hit

[limber thicket]

it's the other way around

[modest marten]

I regualry have lags ingame from time to time. its like a single lag with the duration of half a second every 2 or3 minutes and after like 4 or 5 lags my game disconnects from the server.
anybody an idea what could cause this?

it happens in like 15% of all matches

[fierce sandal]

What dictates whether a mutant will straight up toss you or give a little smacky smack first? Or is it just random?

[vocal nacelle]

Location

If mutant don't have space to smash you (in a corner/ near wall) he will throw to other direction

be careful sometimes mutant got bugged/ pissed and throw you into the void /inside wall

[main lily]

Is this a semi recent problem? Have you tried updating your graphics card, reinstalling the game, temporarily disabling your anti virus to try and determine the problem?

[modest marten]

i do have this issue while running the most recent drivers. theres no anticheat i could disable (best antivirus is still common sense) and i do have that issue on both my windows and my linux installation.

no such issues on other games

i do have it for some time now and on my windows installation i tried to reinstall the game without any luck

[shadow skiff]

Ever questioned your connection to the servers? Check by going to mission terminal and pressing the button for terminal settings. You might be being put on the wrong server.

[modest marten]

EU servers. 14-35ms

first thing i checked

but that doesnt mean that there are no momentarily interrupts

[shadow skiff]

Could still be bad connection, packet loss.

The servers been a little on the spicy end recently as well.

[modest marten]

i will check my fritzbox if there are any DSL interrupts

no events thus far

It wouldve suprised me if there was soemthing since i have no issues in any other game thats heavily multiplayer sided

[shadow skiff]

Why could just be the servers themselves. It's been getting worse tbh.

[modest marten]

Thats likewise a relief that nothing at my end is issued aswell as its concerning since we all live and love Darktide.

[pulsar sphinx]

Where's the best way to get into Havoc missions

[green iron]

usually play pub but i want to do just a flesh wound, could i get some help (haven't played in a while so i may be a tad rusty)

[red ginkgo]

I can help out if you still need it

[green iron]

yes i could use help, thanks

[red ginkgo]

share your FS code if you could, please and thank you

[green iron]

yep give me a seck

th

[frosty walrus]

y'all start already? I also need this one haha

[tawny mirage]

Do bots count for achievements for rescuing/reviving?

[wind cosmos]

So

I am at 3/5 for the don't die in auric maelstrom, anyone down to help me out there

[cloud adder]

About Havoc
In the group finder there are only groups 20+, so.. how difficult are they, how does the difficulty scales, compared to Auric
When should I be able to join Havocs 20+ (Current assignment is 17 and dont want to join some others havoc and be hinder rather than help)

[limber thicket]

after 20 it becomes harder than auric mael
if you've done 17 already, you can apply for 20 for sure

[cloud adder]

Harder than Auric mael, hmm, that sounds fun
I will give it a try, thanks!

[keen flume]

You going for a treat when playing high havoc

[cedar dagger]

The want to play h40 is strong, the fact that I can't leave without fucking people over is annoying.

[wheat night]

Yes

[tender sand]

Is there a mod(s) that:

1. Displays clear enough (customizable) visual cue when certain thresholds of toughness are reached (50%, 0% etc). Like some big enough red blink around the center of the screen or something
2. Show clear enough visual cue when you are hit (or shot) from behind. Like may be a BIG down arrow under your crosshair or something

[velvet quiver]

Spidey Sense and CustomCrosshair

not when you get hit but rather when you're 0.2sec away from being hit...but if you're going specifically for visual queues, there's a mod called Less Annoying Visuals or something like that. It allows you to tinker with visuals like flash, flame, blur etc.

[velvet quiver]

why would you want to leave?

[velvet quiver]

Up to 20 is Auric Damnation Maelstrom, up to 25 it's ADM+ and 30 is the first step to insanity, that's Take ADM+ (with 7 modifiers including extra bosses but now you also have 2 captains that may or may not spawn along with 4-5 other bosses and sprinkle on that extra armored (Carapace) enemies delivered in bulk)

35 to 40 is the same only worse xD

so far I've dragged my guts only across the 36 mark. Hoping to hit 40

also the AI director has access to 2 conditions called Tension and Terror. They work in stealth on ALL other mods and maps except after Havoc 30. The second you hit 30, those "limiters" on how fcked is fcked are disabled and the AI director can not and will not give a flying pox burster if 2 mates are down, he will spawn the population of new zealond on your ass

[cloud adder]

the AI director, how is that to understand in this game, is it like the usuall line of code that balances out how many enemies spawn/what enemies spawn (like in vermintide where they love to spawn in dozens of packmasters when alone); and for Havoc 30+ that safty code is overwritten and the game just keeps on flooding the player, like its a hive city wanting your lunch money?

[tender sand]

Honestly, I'm considering MORE annoying visuals at this point. The default ones just won't work for me, 40% of my downs on psyker will be because a couple chaffers were hitting me from the back, and I wasn't aware of it until losing half hp. And another 40% are because deafult Peril threshold for the visual cues is nonsensical when using Assail, when you see clear enough warning you are about to blow, it's already too late, I would like full-screen visual cue to appear when I'm already at 80% peril

But I'll check those, thanks

[cloud adder]

then I will first play more Auric malström to "warmp up" and "train" for havoc (to git gud)
Thanks

[keen flume]

DisableScreenEffects then?

[cedar dagger]

I'm the sole caregiver for my wife, having a system in place that punishes the team for someone leaving. (IE no backfill, loss of attempts, demotion, in ability to join another game, loss of resources for weekly completion.) Really disincentivises someone from playing the hardest content despite the want to participate.

If h40 was an unlockable quickplay on the normal map that allowed me to play h40 with out the blowback if I had to leave suddenly I'd play it all day.

Sadly the sweaty nature of top tier players bred a system that makes playing havoc content a fucking headache.

[velvet quiver]

exactly, the Terror modifier dictates how often and when you're going to be in the "ouh sh*t!" moment, you know, horde barreling towards you with 12 crushers, 10 ragers and you see 2 plague orgyns and a hel puppy come out from the other room. And the Tension modifier is I think the intensity of the events that happen? I'm not a 100% sure, if you want I'll go find it. Yeah, if for example, there's 3 people trapped in nets, and the Terror goes down, you just clean up what's currently trying to make you its lunch and then there's silence for a while. Without it, on top of those that you just killed while trying to res your mate the captains spawn with 10 bursters in a conga line behind them. That type of thing. And since the director can see you at all time anywhere it knows exactly what all your vitals show and where you are situated compared to other mates (mind you it doesn't take the dot that is the player, it takes the Coherency radius)

[velvet quiver]

you want a TURBO useful life hack? Go into your Settings, under Interface, there's a "Perill effect" gauge that by default is set to 80% I think, Yoink that b*tch down to like 6% and thank me later

[velvet quiver]

Now THAT's the right mentality bro. Just spam the difficulty you feel comfy with and take it upwards when you feel you're ready. Like, when you start doing the anime protagonist blade dance Omae Wa Mu Shindeiru plays then try the next difficulty. My current go-to is Aurics, preferrably Maelstrom. If I want to challenge myself I go to Havocs and try to push for Clearance level. But all in due time, trust the process and the Emperor and might beyond your imagining shall be bestowed upon you!

[velvet quiver]

that's one, yeah and there was another one that gave you extra graphics and such settings and a one more expansive one for effects, visuals etc.

[velvet quiver]

it does have its minuses and like mostly everything else they'll fine tune it over time, but currently, even if you're the Emperor himself, there's STILL the random % bullsh*t chance of something like that happening. 😄 But I just see it as another challenge in the run (that's why I have the Reloader and Reconnect me and bypass Log In screen mods so that once that happens I can get back in ASAP.) To quote Courage the Cowardly Dog: "Ahh...the things I do for love..." but replace "love" with Havoc

🤣

[cloud adder]

This Director, is AI itself?
Cant be one person doing all that I guess?

Sometimes, the Terror and Tension modifier seem to be "broken" or intentionally unhinged, even on herectic difficulty (mostly during malström), prob intentet and is nothing compare to what one experiences in havoc30+?

[cloud adder]

Slow and steady grinds the mill!

[velvet quiver]

No, it's not like Joel from Helldivers 2, it's an AI algorithm that decides based on math and data when to do what...and sometimes someone spills their coffee on it and it goes complate batsh*t insano style xD

[velvet quiver]

Sometimes, the Terror and Tension modifier seem to be "broken" - Yes, exactly what I had in mind to say and you said it.

[cloud adder]

Just imagine, all those AI Directors meet in the Bar in Stockholm after work and giggle about how they unleashed hel on someone

[velvet quiver]

🤣 someone random in voicecomm once joked "hey imagine if the AI is just bored and that's why it's f*cking with us" and you see him pushing a pencil over a desk, super tuned out... "Huhhhh, guess I'll go make their lives hel again...might as well, since there isn't anything else to do in this box..."

[keen flume]

Thats just the AI feeling devious

Just like in L4D2 it also uses AI director to make spawns enemies and specials with how the game is perfoming by the players too

[tender sand]

You missed my point, I don't have the issue with its intensity, my problem is I stop seeing all the default, mild visual cues of high Peril during an intense fight. And the only thing my vision registers when like that is the final stage (when you see the "tentacles" growing at the edges of your screen).
But when using Assail, it's often already too late - either I've already pressed the mouse button one more time, or about to do it and can't stop that movement, that's how I blow up 95% of the time. I want those intense visual cues to appear already at 80% peril

[velvet quiver]

Ah, okay, I got u fam. Then you need LessAnnoyingFX

and Disable Screen Effects

and tune it out however feels best

personally I just lowered the Perill effects that are in the default menu and haven't bothered with any other effects

[rigid wasp]

Why when i get a server error Darktide crashes and i am stuck in black screen for 5 mins, nothing works,on ps5

[edgy onyx]

Speaking from my own recent experience only starting Havoc a couple of weeks ago, I tried to avoid any clearance level that was more than 2-3 levels above what I'd already done, for example I did a lvl25 when I was clearance 22, I tried to do as many sequencial ones of my own assignments first to get used to it, and gradually learn the extra modifiers instead of immediately jumping in to 20+.
20 should be doable if you're up to 17 and feel confident, but I also found that the failure rate went up in the 20+ range.

[green rover]

i haven't played in a while, are duelling swords still op or can i use other weapons now?

for psyker specifically

[keen flume]

Not for long

FGS is a great melee and very popular too

[limber thicket]

https://tenor.com/view/copium-cat-gif-27161395

[green rover]

ooh is it finally getting nerfed?

[keen flume]

Dueling sword and plasma gun to be nerfed, mentioned on one of the blogposts I assume it was from Arbites release

But it is uncertain when the nerf changes coming, maybe next major update

[green rover]

sounds like a breath of fresh air

[smoky ember]

they're being looked at

thats all it really said if i remmeber right

reworks probably

hopefully,,,

but i am faithless

[keen flume]

I still where and how did that chinese steam blogpost got those weapon changes

Probably wont be for the final release but still weird where did they got that info

[arctic cosmos]

Haven't played in awhile - just hopped back in, has there been an update that breaks mods?

[stoic locust]

If your mods are old you should update them

There may have been major system reworks since you last played

[arctic cosmos]

Big thanks

[tender sand]

I'm trying to customize indicators' positioning for Spidey Sense, via Custom HUD as recommended. But I don't see any elements on the screen which would affect positions of its backstab indicators

this one was my first guess, but no, moving it doesn't change its position

and there are no others in that region

[keen flume]

Pretty sure you dont do that through custom HUD

I think is through the spidey sense mod settings from what i remember but only used for short time

[smoky ember]

inspect element

could just have been entirely faked

idk how large the chinese darktide scene is

but we've had people here fake some patchnotes for funnies

so it wouldnt surprise me

[vocal nacelle]

It's posted by FS themselves

On the steam announcement

[smoky ember]

wha

no

we're talking about the announcment that was talking about ds and plasma being reworked

that would give ds a parry and massively rework plasma

which was translated from chinese

[tough cape]

I think Chinese gamers are a considerable chunk. Most games I play tend to have 2/4 or 3/4 with Chinese character names

Granted a few of them are Thai by their chatter lol

[vernal plaza]

Likely missing link somewhere that they forgot to remove in chinese patch

[smoky ember]

ohhg i never saw that

[stoic locust]

You wasted a ton of time just sitting and holding block at the beginning

[fickle ether]

At the start of the clip you had time to get some purg in clearing out atleast some of the horde. The M1 on that staff if there isnt final toll can stun lock that mauler if you arent that comfortable holding the charge while dodging the overhead. Once the twins locked onto you that wasnt the worse play but instead of getting knocked into a deadend I would have went out the door on the left to buy some time for your team to come help.

[arctic granite]

Ye, could've thrown some purg. i tried going for the door but brain was halfway panicking

[fickle ether]

That's the joy of havoc learning not to panic when shit goes south

[arctic granite]

was probably scared of the captain zooming at me at the start so i just held block

it was a really good match overall

also just pretty happy i survived because i usually see runs end if someone goes down and other people panic

[keen flume]

Those teammates were also not doing much to help to kill the bosses through the entire clip

[arctic granite]

tbf it had just thrown a crusher horde at us too so i imagine there was probably leftovers

[keen flume]

Surprise that they survived, I was expecting them to die instantly

[final drift]

I have like 20-30 hours in this game and I gotta be honest. I don't understand the stats on weapons at all.

I seen this post and I don't know what the fuck any of the comments mean

It's crazy you can't post screenshots

Basically it showed two shovels and asked which one was better, and was talking about dump stats and things.

I only look at the damage number up do gooder

[little coyote]

You need the convicts role to be able to post images and embedded images, you get it once you've messaged enough messages on the server

[little coyote]

So basically the stats are divided in two values, current and max. Those range from 0% - 80%, no weapon can have all stats at max 80%. The values always total to 380, so you can have weapons with stats 80/80/80/80/60 for example, this distribution of values if often what people search for where 60 is the dump stat. Dump stat is the one you don't need to be high or gives you the least benefit compared to the rest the weapon has access to

The current stats can be improved by increasing the weapon mastery for that weapon family and going to the weapon customization station and empowering them

and you can see what each of the stats impacts by inspecting the weapon

[final drift]

Thanks og!!!

[little coyote]

🫡

[limber thicket]

the stats are complicated, but until you want to dive deeper into it, just know that Defense or Mobility are the dump stats 99% of the time.

[final drift]

I thought people like mobility

[little coyote]

it is nice but having it 80 instead of 60 rarely gives much benefits

some instances it might be prudent to have it higher than 60 but often that comes down to preference

[pastel forge]

Ye on most weapons the difference between max and minimum mobility is pretty negligible

[final drift]

🤙🤙🤙

[pastel forge]

The only exception i can remember is dueling sword which dumps cleave instead

[shadow skiff]

You dump mobility on DS mk2 though.

If you wanna minmax.

[pastel forge]

I remember there is a dueling sword that dumps cleave

[shadow skiff]

Yes, for mk4.

Mk5 is def or pen if you like memes.

[patent urchin]

Anyone here down for havoc 40? I want a dedicated team
I play psyker mainly but can flex all classes

[craggy minnow]

Crusher dumps like, power output because push attack cost is on defenses

[edgy onyx]

So right now it's possibly better to hold off on hunting a godroll stat Plasma Gun just incase tweaks in function and stats change what the meta is, I assume.

[rich ocean]

I'm not sure where's the place to ask, but does anyone know of any mods that improve the performance of the game?

I've always had little fps issues with the game but by the God Emperor, it's been getting worse with each update

[fickle ether]

This is a mod I've been using for awhile helps a decent bit https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/521?tab=description

[main lily]

Does anyone know why I can't seem to get any progress on Find Their Weakness? I'm tossing the stunstorm grenade and attacking but I'm not getting any results. Maybe it's because I'm using the dueling sword?

[solid pilot]

As long as you're playing on malice or higher and stunning targets before killing it sounds like a lack of crit

If you have the resources this would probably work, not a typical build since stun grenades are not too popular but I think it would manage:
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9fbae2a1-434e-439d-9708-27a97be01c44/find-their-weakness

[main lily]

thanks. I'll try that

[solid pilot]

Here's what I based that off of if you're interested in the more optimized build after you complete that penance:
#zealot-class message

[main lily]

thanks I got it

I think I'd confused critical hits and weakspot hits

[solid pilot]

Oh yup in many games a critical hit is a weakspot hit but this game does handle them separately, you can even stack them

[main lily]

Doesn't help the penance had weakness in the title

[solid pilot]

that's an excellent point that is pretty misleading actually lol

[main lily]

[lethal sierra]

Hi just bought the game with the new class. Just want to ask does the Home World choice matter here?

[little coyote]

Not really, some have slight additions to cosmetic options but nothing more beyond that, just some role playing opportunities

[lethal sierra]

Also I found that this games has some mods on nexus, is there any recommended mods to use? I believe you can have bots here as your teammate. are they good enough?

[keen flume]

Character creation backstory really does not any matter with narrative with the game and character dialogue besides you just want to be creative with your characters

But Cadia is the only planet that gives extra stuff like new eye colours that is tied to planet and it's lore

And if you play veteran and pick Cadia as home world you get to pick the Cutthroat personality which is a Cadian person

[keen flume]

Huge majority of the mods are all QoL which does improve and help with the experience

[lethal sierra]

any QOL recommendation for a preferrable solo player?

[keen flume]

Ehh not sure, I don't use Solo play mods as I always play with randoms

But there are few of them and some people here to play

[little coyote]

do solo mods even give you progress?

[keen flume]

I don't think so

As from from what I saw with Solo Play mod

Honestly you are better to play for the meantime vanilla, you just bought the game

Public matches with randoms ain't too bad (for most of the time)

[vocal nacelle]

darktide doesnt have "solo" mode

and you cant private the game need 2 people

but there's workaround that turns your game semi solo ish (with bots)

also the game not designed to be solo (you can but its harder and more annoying)

[vernal plaza]

Technically they exist, just 0 progression

[pastel forge]

Tbh i also consider myself mostly a solo player but entering public matches with randoms is still good

[lethal sierra]

damn the game crashes a lot

[lethal sierra]

guys my game really crashes a lot. any recommended settings that I should be aware of?

damn HD2 doesnt crash me at all but this is so fvking bad. it crash like every 30 mins

[lethal sierra]

I did try verfying the files, if it still does continues to happen ill try to reduce that worker thread

The thing is I am only crashing when I visit the penance

[vocal nacelle]

Are you using mods?

[lethal sierra]

yeah the numeric ID and DogWhistle

[lethal sierra]

its still doing the same thing, whenever I go to the penance menu it crashes

[keen flume]

Only using those?

Have you tried to play vanilla to see if it crashes

[lethal sierra]

yeah because I heard those are the only safe mods so far

[keen flume]

There are other plenty mods, i never used dogwhistle though

Not sure it could be related to it

[lethal sierra]

it was working well earlier I dunno what happens that everytime I go to penance menu so that I can claim my reward it just crashes

I am sorry but kinda not sorry, this is a 2 years old game and still function like shit. HD2 and some other games is much newer than this game and it doesnt crash at all. even last night that HD2 peak for 300k players.

[keen flume]

Because xbox release
Have you seen what the crash was related to with report?

[lethal sierra]

there was nothing on the crash report which is also why I am wondering I cannot let you guys see what error it is because me myself dont know what it is.

[lethal sierra]

yeah xbox release and HALO ODST warbonds(which is lame btw)

[keen flume]

Best option you can have right now is reinstall mods or temporarly disable if it stops the crash for now imo

[lethal sierra]

ill just delete everything and reinstall the whole game

[keen flume]

I am unable to see that both mods cause crashes from the modding server

[lethal sierra]

ill just play vanilla

that numericID thing is really cool QOL

[vocal nacelle]

Could be arbites related crash

Try changing other characters and access the penance

[lethal sierra]

does penance achievement of one char carry over to another?

[vocal nacelle]

Yes

It could be this too

[flat hull]

how do you deal with ragers when not playing arbi or ogryn

been face tanking them without problems but playing some psyker for the first time in a long while and that doesn't really work

[limber thicket]

kill them from range

[flat hull]

what about vet and zealot. I can't just swing through their rage

[jade hollow]

My darktide settings just reset and now im lagging like crazy, what do I do?

[lone adder]

Keep distance and hope you can kill from range first. At the very least, you'll thin the horde, which can make it easier to take melee swings on them without taking excessive damage

[smoky ember]

some weapon specials can stagger them, some weapons reach stagger breakpoints on them with grievous wounds,

or just block and backdodge until u have space to pull out ur gun

[vocal nacelle]

Depends on the weapon

[heady pulsar]

psyker staves all have a CC feature
inferno staff primary staggers ragers
voidblast staff secondary throws them on their asses
electro staff secondary stuns them
and voidstrike has ok stagger I guess

[keen oracle]

Fury temporarily staggers them on zealot, so you can charge in and start swinging. (Use with care lol)

Vet has grenades + shout to stagger.

Some melee weapons are also able to stagger them:

Heavy sword special attack
Combat axe push/special attack
Chainaxe IV light attack

Just as some examples

[lethal sierra]

is the patch already drop on steam version? why the steam doesnt show update

[keen flume]

try to restart app

[lethal sierra]

nothing happens, also checking penance while using arbiter still crashes the game

[cosmic sky]

Red ragers are a pain in the ass though

[final drift]

Why do people care so much about stamina on courios? I don't find this system as easily instantly understood as Vermintide stam/guard point system

In other words, what actually is stamina in this game other than my sprint lol

[clear plume]

2 things

1: certain weapon want to use the push attack more which uses stamina for their attack pattern (crusher, tactical axe, ogryn pickaxe)

2: sprinting with certain builds/weapons allows you to outrun enemies which some people value then defensive curios

Stamina is worth a lot more in DT then VT

And certain classes struggle with maintaining stam because of their base stats are low (vet)

I only use stamina on 2 classes, veteran and zealot

The others can make due without

[final drift]

I have no stam on my shooty vet because aiming and shooting takes it away lol

But I see. Thanks!

[clear plume]

That also

Deadshot (using stam to increase crit chance while scoping)

Also increases dps but lowers defense because people bring stamina curios with it

[limber thicket]

the same as in vermintide - blocking and pushing

[clear plume]

Stamina is sprinting, blocking, and pushing. Also certain talents drain stam

[final drift]

🤙🤙

Does holding block and actually blocking active attacks drain stam because I haven't noticed

I've dodged more than hold guard down for multiple hits

[keen flume]

You dont lose stamina when holding block

[final drift]

Even if I get hit? What stops me from blocking all attacks because I assume it stops at some point

[pastel forge]

getting hit while blocking consumes stamina

[clear plume]

When blocking every time you are hit with a melee attack it consumes stamina

Certain enemies deal more "stamina" damage

Bulwark shield bash does 100% stam damage if you are blocking

[keen flume]

There are few blessings that drain your stamina for holding block if i remember

One being tied to force sword for psyker

[keen flume]

Getting hit while block consumes and depending what enemy it can consume more stamina

[final drift]

🤙🙏

[limber thicket]

stop throwing gang signs, that's illegal

[edgy onyx]

If you feel brave you can parry them with Devil's Claw, especially with a psyker build that uses peril for block.

Hey. Gotta question regarding heavy attacks. Some blessings increase the dmg of attack the longer you charge. Does this mean there is no difference how long you charge without the blessing?

[vocal nacelle]

yes

just release the moment the animation change from light to heavy

will feel it if you heavy spam block cancel ogryn shield

[frank dust]

Thanks

[pastel forge]

it can still be useful to hold the heavy attack when youre approaching an enemy so you can release it the moment they are in melee range

but if theyre already in range and you dont have the thrust blessing just release it as soon as the animation starts

[brittle basin]

Brunt's Armoury isn't loading for me. Is anybody else getting this issue?

[thorn abyss]

just came to ask this. trying to make a Bolt Pistol build on my Veteran but of course, Brunt's armory wont load on ONLY my Veteran.

its loading on my other characters, already hard reset game/console/internet and still wont load on my Vet

[late valley]

Veteran only seems to be a spread issue

weird

[brittle basin]

Huh. I didn't even think my class was a factor.

[vocal nacelle]

New vet weapon cope

[late valley]

This but unironically

[round verge]

Is there any way to see what the armoury has without opening the game?

[limber thicket]

yes

[round verge]

Oh shoot, really?

[limber thicket]

yeah

[round verge]

That'd save me a ton of time. How do I do it?

[limber thicket]

I don't know

but I do know that you can

a website that you link with your darktide account or something like that

[round verge]

Oh that website doesn't seem to work anymore.

I was looking for a new way.

[polar forum]

should still work, it's with the darktide armory browser extension

so long as you have that, it should still work

[round verge]

Oh huh, its working now. yeah yesterday it wasn't working for me at all and I found a bunch of posts saying it wasn't supported/updated.

Cool

[round verge]

Yeah this is going to save me so much time and effort. Wow.

[cedar dagger]

https://accounts.atoma.cloud/login
This page still works

[cursive sable]

Guys any tips on how to get the 120 enemies in 30 seconds penance ?

[vocal nacelle]

what class

ogryn or zealot probably

or venting shriek inferno psyker

[cursive sable]

ok I ll try thanks !

[frank dust]

Hi. Wanted to clarify. Some talents activate upon taking dmg. This only means when toughness is broken?

[vocal nacelle]

Nope , toughness damage also count

[round verge]

It just stopped working again, darn. I was so thrilled.
Maybe its my internet, phone off-wifi can get it to work.
Guess I'll experiment some more and see what I can get to work.

[cedar dagger]

Gotta be something on your end. I just logged in now for the first time in months and it worked fine.

[smoky ember]

if you’re curious about a specific one, Kuli’s guides are pinned in this chat, which should specify

it’s got good info in general about blessings and talents

[gleaming copper]

whats better for carapace? impact or rending?

[clear plume]

Impact is stagger while rending is armor damage reduction

so always rending

[gleaming copper]

ohhhh

well crap

cuz i want a way to deal with capace enemies as veteran

[clear plume]

thats pretty easy

[limber thicket]

duelling sword, power sword

knoife

[clear plume]

melee weapons have alot more rending damage then ranged damage on average

notable weapons are knife dueling sword, power sword, combat axe

[limber thicket]

Bolter spam in aurics works too

[clear plume]

certain ranged weapons can do carapace damage

like bolter and revolver

certain ranged weapons with a build can do it aswell

vigilent auto guns and helbore

kraks grenades are always an option

always 1 shotting crushers and maulers

and with vet nade regen speed its really good

[limber thicket]

what's the setup for helbore to be good vs cara?

[clear plume]

but learning to melee carapace will help alot in the long run

[clear plume]

rending strike and finesse from stance or MMF

and a blessing

forgor name

[gleaming copper]

yeah i was looking at a melee weapon with high rending

[clear plume]

.

[gleaming copper]

yeh yeh

i read that

[clear plume]

but all melee weapons can deal with carapace

just need to learn how to dance around them

[limber thicket]

armorbane?

[clear plume]

think so

[gleaming copper]

fair nuff

also what kind of weapons are good for a combat stance build?

sorry

[clear plume]

the left side ability?

[gleaming copper]

executioner's stance

yes

[clear plume]

vigilant autogun, las weapons, bolt pistol (not 100% sure if it can get elite 1 taps)

shredder auto gets a bit funny too

[gleaming copper]

well i like the braced autogun

is that any gud?

[clear plume]

go for it

yeah

the slowest one has cleave, good for mixed horde clear

[visual gyro]

hey sooo! real quick. how do you use skullcrusher exactly?

[clear plume]

stagger an enemy to increase its damage taken from all sources

stagger sources varies depending on class

[gleaming copper]

real quick too

is there such a thing as a grenade/explosive build?

[clear plume]

yeah

vet has 5 1/2 grenade talents plus bolt pistol increase grenade explosion radius, from a blessing

[limber thicket]

rumbler spam too

[limber thicket]

everyone loves that build

[gleaming copper]

ohhhhh

alright i heard of it

is damage or ammo aura better?

[clear plume]

define better

[gleaming copper]

like

[clear plume]

they do different things for differnt playstyles

[gleaming copper]

for the grenade build

what would be more advantageous for it

[clear plume]

damage aura increases grenade damage

plus better talent tree pathing

[gleaming copper]

gotcha

[smoky ember]

to specify, brittleness and rending are what degrade enemy armor

[gleaming copper]

gotcha

[smoky ember]

the wording of this makes rending look like a hamper

[clear plume]

mb

[smoky ember]

from the pinned guides

[visual gyro]

aah okay awesome

ty ty

so if I stagger a boss and whack 'em. then they'll get debuffed

[clear plume]

dont need to hit them iirc

ogryn taunt applies SC if you holding your melee weapon

things like that

[limber thicket]

but it only works so long as the enemy is staggered

bosses don't get staggered for long

but I was almost certain you had to hit enemies a second time to get the stack

[keen flume]

Bosses don't typically have much stagger unless some abilities but they last very short

Ogryn on the other hand

[round verge]

I want 17% toughness curios. They're all I really need.
Should I roll for them from Melk or continue to just stalk the shops?

[stoic locust]

Both work

Shop camping is vastly less expensive but takes longer

[inland lichen]

Could also just get the armoury exchange browser extension to see the contents of the shop without booting up the game.

If you primarily stare at your PC, you can just check a tab on your browser every hour

Then only ever log in when there's a max roll.

[round verge]

That's something I'm doing but it doesnt work on my network most of the time, so I have to use my phone off wifi or fix my network.

getting some ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

[inland lichen]

rip

[round verge]

Yeah looks like someone had the issue earlier in July so I'll ask them

[plush bolt]

I'm pretty new to havoc, and I was wonder if the twins plasma shot can one shot kill with no wounds?

I know melee can cause some corruption, but I wasn't aware that ranged could

[clear plume]

Ranged does not deal corruption damage

[red ginkgo]

Ranged attacks do no corruption, so as long as you haven't lost any wounds, you'd just go down

Sometimes you can get hit in melee while also being tagged by a ranged shot, so it can seem like the ranged attack does corruption, but it's always that one little poxwalker out of LOS

[plush bolt]

Thanks! I'm pretty sure the % for melee corruption for my havoc game wouldn't have put me into a wound. I keep looking at the clip, and I'm pretty sure everything in front of my character was staggered too. Just disappointed 🙁

[vernal plaza]

Can upload and have more ppl looking at it

[plush bolt]

:_ ) I deleted it

Would have been smart

[limber thicket]

the twins\leutenants are bugged and can oneshot you from full toughness

[clear plume]

And captains

All bosses with bubble shields have that bug

[plush bolt]

Yes, it’s fall damage.

[gleaming copper]

lads what does it mean to supress enemies?

[limber thicket]

when you shoot at\near certain ranged enemies, they cower and stop attacking

also works on groaners i think?

[gleaming copper]

gotcha

so with infiltrate you bassicly jumpscare them

gotcha

[cedar dagger]

With infiltrate you basically get into a group of gunners/shooters/shotgunners and pop it. Then systematically take them out like a ninja using a melee weapon. At least that's how I play it.

The sub node for the 90% less threat generation is great for that.

[visual gyro]

hello darktiders
do twins/captains count as unyielding enemies?

[limber thicket]

no

they don't count as monstrosities either

[visual gyro]

darn

[frank dust]

Hello. Me with questions again. I know it's worth killing bosses before proceeding stages in havoc (since they follow and can lead to 4 bosses at the same time). Does the same go for other enemies? I've just seen very different play styles. One guy stayed for a while to clean the horde before proceeding. Yesterday someone was coatching to be agressive and push

[smoky ember]

if it’s a couple of chaff, or a couple shooters that are far behind, just ignore them

kill things that are close and threats

if you stay behind too long to kill things, you’ll get more horde spawns and special surges on you

[frank dust]

There were like 10 crushers and other armoreds. But they were so far we could easily proceed. But the idea was, that they would follow to other stage and stack upon other enemies there

[smoky ember]

if it’s an armor pack that kinda depends

[vocal nacelle]

depends on the current situation

[smoky ember]

i’d probably go back and kill them

just so they don’t travel thru doors in the middle of a horde

and get us that way

but if you’re like, about to go through an elevator or airlock

i’d just go

[frank dust]

So the idea is valid, that leftover enemies stack with the ones that will spawn next?

Im talking about airlocks and elevetors, yeah

We had ages of spare time to get to the air lock but one guy persisted to stay and clear a horde with armoreds

So it made me wonder if it really works that way

[keen flume]

It all depends what is the current situation and priority

[fickle ether]

Depends on map and airlock/elevator some have boss triggers/twins/rituals after walking through where your better clearing what's behide you then going through unless it's a handful of poxwalkers which really cant do anything to you. I always say if you dont know what's in the next area clear the armor then move on fodder stuff like poxwalkers are never a problem.

[amber anvil]

Not sure where to post this, so I'll do it here. Since the last patch I noticed the game would crash a lot, almost every mission when exiting the mission after the compelion (or failure) screen. I noticed this post on Reddit Darktide and gave it it a shot, and it is working. So far no more crashes. So if you're on PC using an nVidia card with updated drivers and crashing a lot after the patch. Downgrade your drivers to the GeForce Game Ready Driver - Driver Version: 572.83 (March 15th 2025) release till Fatshark resolves this. Post: https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/1n4tw0q/comment/nbodacu/

[fierce sandal]

They're both wrong, imo. Whether you're lagging behind or too far ahead, if someone's f'd off and doing their own thing, it's asking for trouble

[pastel forge]

yeah the most important is to stick with the team

[keen flume]

And never back away too much or get sandwiched

[pastel forge]

Alright but heres the real questions

What would be the favorite sandwich for each personality

[keen flume]

The most important question that we have to know

[potent lance]

How rare is a lvl 430 toughness curio i had no idea that it was even an option?

[vocal nacelle]

dont look at the 430 power

just check if the toughness is 17%

[frank dust]

Going solo is always bad in havoc, but these were not the situations. Main question - is it worth clearing big chunks of enemies before proceeding to elevator/air lock, even if you have opportunity to proceed.

[little coyote]

Usually it is better to clear them out I feel, they'll just follow you to the next area if you don't and you risk spawning another wave on top of it

[clear plume]

Only when its finite enemies and if there are elites

cause they do follow

[frank dust]

People here say that it depends on situation, but the only situation in havoc 30+ is endless hordes with 10-15sec breaks at best

[clear plume]

hordes are finite outside certain events

you do run out of enemies

[frank dust]

Hard to believe tbh. It really feels non stop. I think sometimes you even get hordes before the previous ones end.

[little coyote]

Do you play solo? Could be that you're not fast enough in clearing the horde before the next one all by yourself? I'm not sure though because I never tried solo havoc

[frank dust]

No. Usually with people of clearance lvl 40 too. And yet there are instances where you get pinned down in a starting area for like 7mins

[clear plume]

cause the director has alot more tickets at the beginning of progression

[vocal nacelle]

if its just horde then you go to airlock

if its like 20 elites each then go clear that first before they come in package with twins

[frank dust]

Guess that makes sense. Wouldnt want 20 crushers acompanying them

[edgy onyx]

I'd at least tag them to let the team know.
I sometime take up the rear if I'm playing my Knife/Plasma Vet, since I can pick off specialists with ranged but also have the speed to sprint to the front if I'm needed, so I'll tag a crusher pack while jogging along with the team, it's less risky than staying behind and taking them on all by yourself in case a sneaky trapper hides behind the crusher pack, very easy way for things to go South fast.

[gusty whale]

should just go north instead

but no one issued our rejects a compass

smh

[edgy onyx]

I wonder if a compass would even work so deep inside the hive, I assume plasteel and a bunch of the other material is magnetic.

[warped basin]

what's the strat for clutch soloing each monstrosity?

[keen flume]

Learn their attacks, be efficient

[clear plume]

bosses are slow in their vaulting

use terrain

[keen flume]

Use advantages of the missions layout, use the explosive barrels for stagger and fire ones for chip damage

Plague Ogryn is the most easiest and straight forward but beware of the charge and slam, you can block the charge with your melee if you got stamina

Chaos spawn is aggressive, you can avoid their grab if you dodge to your right at the right moment

[warped basin]

prob won't be able to pull it off, just curious
since lately I've been getting main character syndrome teammates or people who don't seem to have dodge/block keys bound

[hushed chasm]

squeak (there are plenty of resources online especially on youtube which explain it more in detail, but a brief explanation is this)

squeak (for the plague ogre, scurry directly up to it, and bait out the single hit fist slam. All you need to do is dodge backwards to avoid the attack. After you dodge his attack, just keep repeating walking up, and dodging backwards. This makes is super easy to consistently hit headshots)

squeak (for the beast of nurgle, walk up to it, and wait for it to vomit. When it vomits, either dodge left or left or right, and just poke its back from right next to it from the side as much as possible, and repeat. Your goal is to minimise the distance that the beast moves, as it makes it harder to hit its weak point, while managing its vomit area denial so you have more room to scurry around it)

squeak (note that if you get hit by vomit, just kite until until it wears off so you dont get eaten. Addtionally, if you are a bubble psyker, you can just bubble ontop of the beast, and you will be completely safe from its vomit, even when you are right next to it.)

squeak (the chaos spawn is by far the hardest because of how oppressive it is. There is a way to get a semi consistent attack loop by walking right up to it, baiting out its single fist slam, and dodging RIGHT. From testing, it is much more consistent when you dodge to the right, and you have to hug the spawn as close as possible when dodging to keep him in this attack loop)

squeak (rat hopes this helps) ;D

[hard plume]

So what's the deal with elites oneshotting you from full wounds in Havoc

Is it an overflow bug with the corruption damage you take from melee attacks in Havoc?

[clear plume]

its intended

overheads do so much damage that most human classes die in 1 hit since its more then 1 wound of corruption damage in the total damage delt

[hard plume]

Ogryn can die from full or near-full health from one crusher overhead too

Has FS stated that it's intended?

Because it feels inconsistent

[little coyote]

It doesn't feel intended

[hard plume]

Yeah lol

[little coyote]

I've encountered the same many times, insta death from full wounds without getting corruption damage

[hard plume]

It just happens sometimes

[clear plume]

Was there a captain boss?

[hard plume]

Maybe damage resistance is helping people survive the oneshots

No, just crushers and maulers

But twins and captains trigger it too, yes

[clear plume]

then you got hit with 2 overheads in quick succession

that can full kill an ogryn

[hard plume]

There was only one crusher

[clear plume]

whuh

[hard plume]

What happened was that the ogryn got pounced, then got overheaded

Went from 100-0 instantly

[clear plume]

yeah that can happen

[hard plume]

My theory is that the dog bite caused a tick of corruption that put him over 100% health

I got overheaded from about 90% health by a crusher in another match and instantly died

Then the zealot got overheaded and killed, but I didn't see what other instances of damage they were taking

[clear plume]

it also can change depening on build/curios

[hard plume]

idk this shit does not feel intended

[little coyote]

Think I've got a few clips to show, one has a pretty clear corruption prior to dying but two other single damage instances from normal elite enemies have killed me outright

you should go down from it

[hard plume]

But yeah, damage reduction might be preventing a lot of oneshots in cases where people survive

[little coyote]

but it doesn't happen

https://imgur.com/v4MFjOr

This one has the corruption

[hard plume]

YEP

[little coyote]

https://imgur.com/IsGdNzY

these two don't

[hard plume]

Yeah that's exactly what it looks like

I can't even tell what killed you in that second gif

Hit in the back by a rager?

[little coyote]

https://i.imgur.com/pQuUbCu.mp4

[hard plume]

Ragers can also cause the oneshots, and I'm wondering if it's like Plague Monks/Zerkers in Vermintide where all of their hits are getting sent as one giant 80-damage packet

[little coyote]

I don't mind getting a huge input of damage but getting outright killed without prior corruption is what irks me

[hard plume]

It happens in non-Final Toll matches too

So I don't think it's just sheer damage

[clear plume]

depening on havoc rank total melee enemy damage delt is corruption on top of certain enemies already having corruption dealing attack (poxwalkers, plague ogryns)

psyker and vet are often 2 shot by poxwalkers for this reason

1 poxwalker hit removes toughness and then 2nd 1 shots you because of the total damage being around 50% corruption which can 1 shot, in most cases

[little coyote]

but do crushers and maulers deal corruption?

[clear plume]

all melee enemies

[hard plume]

Yeah in Havoc

[clear plume]

this graph

[hard plume]

All melee does

[little coyote]

that would explain it, but why does it not display on the health bar

[clear plume]

it does

but its instant

[little coyote]

corruption should be visible when dead as well, no?

[clear plume]

no

one sec

[little coyote]

ah right, you're right

I remembered wrong

[clear plume]

he did 1 wound of corruption damage with 30% of his damage making you insta die

all good now?

[little coyote]

I think so, I did add a wound curio after those clips and it hasn't happened since

[clear plume]

that is the worst idea since its hp value

they bypass wounds

I can draw a picture to explain

[little coyote]

I know but a single attack won't go through two wounds this time around

[clear plume]

it does

too tired to make a graph, but overkill damage bypasses wound system because of the corruption override

[hard plume]

So yeah, basically you take so much corruption that it overflows your hp and instakills you

It's why eating an overhead as zealot will sometimes leve you at 1hp and 99% purple

if Revenant procs

[little coyote]

I got that part but the damage they deal is high enough for the extra wound to not be enough to mitigate the corruption portion?

[clear plume]

corruption goes through wounds and if there is corruption past your last wound you insta die

[little coyote]

yes yes but the full damage is high enough to do that even with extra wounds is what I'm asking

Would the optimal survival curio be corruption resistance then?

[clear plume]

yes and no

[hard plume]

If nothing else, it's a possible case for running more hp and anti-corruption on curios

[vocal nacelle]

yellow toughness also helps

[hard plume]

yellow armor will outright prevent the oneshots

[clear plume]

toughness stacking to help stop hp bleedthrough

but overheads from crusher and maulers still 1 shot, human classes

[hard plume]

That too

[vocal nacelle]

nah you can survive overhead if you have full toughness

as ogryn

[clear plume]

arby too with some talents

[hard plume]

Arb and Ogryn can usually survive

Though they will sometimes get oneshot as well

lil uns have more of an argument

[vocal nacelle]

if you dont have 100% toughness yes

havoc is 100% toughness or die

[little coyote]

my go-to has been toughness stacking as psyker so far but the full hp and full toughness one hits made me exchange one curio for an extra wound. Should I then do something else instead?

[clear plume]

3 toughness or 2 toughness 1 hp is a good idea

[hard plume]

2t/1hp

Is safe

[clear plume]

you cant stop the 1 shots from maulers and crushers on psyker without yellow toughness

[little coyote]

3 toughness was clearly not enough, so I'll respec for 2t and 1hp next I feel

[clear plume]

go for it

[hard plume]

It prevents a single poxburster from taking you from 100% to 40%

I run x3 toughness usually because I like seeing it go to 111 hehehe

[little coyote]

I don't have three 17% toughness curious so I only get to 108 😔

though you might have a toughness talent that I do not

[hard plume]

You can also run a stam curio if you want to block for ages with Kinetic Deflection

[little coyote]

I prefer my shock maul
