[clear plume]

guh

going to double check again

but holy

[grave moon]

Yeah meat grinder was never updated

[clear plume]

once again

another banger

apologies if that came off rude, but such a fatshark thing to do

[grave moon]

Yeah

But not like it will be easy to concentrate on crit damage in middle of combat anyway

[clear plume]

yeah

if it happens it happens

crit weakspot

weakspot

in a live game

[grave moon]

Oh wow don't even change color for weak spot anymore?

[clear plume]

nope

its just double lines

if weakspot

[grave moon]

Lol this game seriously needs to make up it's mind

[clear plume]

[potent gull]

So im just gonna hit things and pray

[grave moon]

Yep

Lol

It will probably change again

Next it might be purple for crit and pink for weak spot where you won't know the difference

Lol

[willow fern]

Kinda wished I had shadow play on for this, but somehow in auric 1 barrel was able to instantly kill one arbites at more than half hp, one psyker that went down once and a zealot.

We weren’t near the edge and we were fighting a plague ogryn

Anyone got an idea why we got instantly gibbed without going down?

Without context it does make it hard tho so I understand if there’s no answers lol

[vocal nacelle]

Any enemies other than plague ogryn

[willow fern]

Shotgunners, mutants

Besides that, no

That’s why I’m stumped about it.

Lowkey kinda tilted be about it since the guy that blew the barrel up immediately left

[vocal nacelle]

Plague ogryn last hit and shotgunner deal big damage

But instakill maybe collision bug

Rarely happen

[olive zenith]

anyone else cant login? I played earlier today and now all of a sudden i cant login

[potent gull]

What is meant by “strength”? it says for the greatsword “up to +5% strength, scaling with peril” is that damage orrr?

And it really only goes up to 5% so is that blessing just bad?

[vocal nacelle]

str is damage, cleave and stagger

[potent gull]

Wow okay thank you thats very unintuitive wording

[vocal nacelle]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3286161222 check all kuli guide for very detailed information

[potent gull]

Thank you!

[viscid matrix]

Having a weird bug and not sure what channel this fits in lol, but I digress

When I click launch on the game on Steam…nothing happens
Like, it should be opening the launcher so I can in turn start the game, but there’s just nothing instead

Edit: rebooting my computer fixed the problem

[smoky ember]

usually if something like that happens, you can go into task manager and kill all tasks that are related to whatever ur trying to do, and it’ll fix it

so in task manager u could’ve probably ended all darktide tasks, and if there weren’t any, or it didn’t work, ended all steam tasks

i have that issue with the spotify desktop app sometimes too

[viscid matrix]

Hmm…good to know, much appreciated

[modest marten]

Is there a way to queue for quickplay but dont get thoose event missions?

[grave moon]

No

It's random

[keen flume]

Completely random

So pray for the big e you dont get it

[grave moon]

Only thing it won't do is put you in a mission you haven't unlocked unless your party did

[modest marten]

missed opportunity for fatshark to be able to disable event mission on the cost of event progress

[keen flume]

Don't see the issue of it tbh

If I get the mission event through quick play I just go play like normal

[modest marten]

i dunno. either its me or that even modifier is increasing the difficulty quite heavily. im not really that used to auric yet but ive allmost lost all event missions on auric difficulty

[vocal nacelle]

is it that hard?

dont feel anything when i play few days ago

[keen flume]

It honestly really fun tbh

[vocal nacelle]

probably taking more hit because i need to look down grabbing ration

[keen flume]

Angry Ogryns with muties waves

And also permanent blue stimm buff on the mission

[modest marten]

i dont even pick them up anymore

[vocal nacelle]

but it is in the middle of auric mael and havoc intensity but with player buff

fun

[keen flume]

Ogryns spawns go crazy

Welcome again brute Conscripts, I missed you

[vocal nacelle]

it is kinda ironic FS nerfing the crusher amount but give havoc rotten armor and waking giants modifier in the event

[modest marten]

i only need havoc and auric penances for true 100% but loosing 70% of all your games on auric is incredibly demotivating

maybe its just my region any the times i play on but theres rarely any teamplay and people are just running all over the place alone

that does not mean that i do not make mistakes

[grave moon]

To add on to that the event fucks them up

[keen flume]

It fun seeing people struggling against big crushers and bulwark hordes

So I can solo them all

[vernal plaza]

Hey ds got nerfed
Or not, they forgot the new talent buffs it even more

[keen flume]

So called DS rework

And they only replaced with the devil claw parry special

That you can one shot a crusher with right build

[modest marten]

yeah thats cool and all but can you perhaps split yourself and match with everyone at the same time?

[keen flume]

Mayhaps

[woeful otter]

Any difference between destroying and recovering rations?

[keen flume]

• in mission (triggered per certain amount of pickups each):
  • recover spawns bulwark waves (50), plague ogryns (100), and 2 plague ogryns with ogryn wave (350)
  • destroy spawns armored groaner waves (50), captain (100), and twins (350)
• daily total (presumably):
  • if destroyed wins: ranged buff for players, infinite ranged cleave/double ammo; inferno circumstance mission; more hordes, armored groaner replacement
  • if recovered wins: stimm buff, attack speed/reload speed/dodge speed/dodge distance/more stamina; walking giants circumstance mission; head parasite mutator; mutant waves

(in mission spawns scale per difficulty, listed is auric)

[grave moon]

Lol I might as well keep a copy too since it's been asked a lot

[storm glen]

Is that darktide rattail charm event live rn ?

[strange thunder]

yes

[scarlet jolt]

Hey, i played the campaign at launch. If i start on the new class with the campaign skip, will i get the new story bits or do i gotta start from scratch to catch all the new things?

[pastel forge]

when you say "at launch" do you mean like when the game first released or when they introduced the campaign restructure a few months ago

[scarlet jolt]

I mean launch launch, first release but your answer is perfect. Seems like i gotta start from the beginning.

Now to pick a class, ty.

[keen flume]

you still get to play campaign missions on the board

and in current rotation

alternatily you can revist the entire campaign at the playlist on the bottom right of the board

[scarlet jolt]

@keen flume what would you recommend, I havent played in 2 years I think. So my thinking was to just roll the entire campaign with arbiter.

[keen flume]

Campaign is fun if you want to relearn and also good way to introduce the story of darktide

It has its unique modifiers

[scarlet jolt]

ill do that, I think I need to relearn before diving in head first 😄

[mystic hinge]

Anyone got a good generalist build for zealot ? Leveling it rn and still not sure what to go for (maybe thammer later)

[grave moon]

The campaign is different with Arbite

Different cutscenes and I think if I remember right there was a few different missions added for it. Don't remember

[shadow skiff]

Wrong. Only thing diff is the prologue. They skip the escape from the prison ship and a different intro entering the Mourningstar.

Everything else is the exact same.

Because they aren't recruited prisoners.

[grave moon]

What about the mission where you got to infiltrate at the beginning with explosives?

[shadow skiff]

The other cutscenes are now generic enough.

[shadow skiff]

You also get that as Arby.

[grave moon]

I thought that was Arby's

I didn't do it as psyker

[shadow skiff]

You get all quests to date to be exact.

[modest marten]

Take a look at this thread (and the main channel above it)
https://discord.com/channels/727074276724965407/1158835247685836853

[stoic locust]

That thread has like

One build

For the current patch

[modest marten]

well

[stoic locust]

3

My bad

[modest marten]

its a start

I personally like to run Relic sword and the Book thing ability (middle tree) in combination with beacon of purity and blazing piety

i would paste a link since ive stole it from the web somewhere but i have no idea if thats allowed here

[limber bison]

How do you fix error 2014?¿?

[warm anvil]

im in the backroom

a charger throw me in here

[vocal nacelle]

connection problem

[limber bison]

Is it a fat shark problem??

[vocal nacelle]

not really could be ISP issues

[limber bison]

I tried looking up how to fix it no luck....

[vocal nacelle]

use DNS/ VPN

[languid jewel]

Are you put by now?

[warm anvil]

nah i leave the mission :v

another one join in and he also in there with me

[languid sail]

anyone else experiencing crashes when switching portrait frames several times? it happens specifically on arbites for me
it's kind of a niche issue, but i'm picky and finding the right portrait frame is a pick-and-choose situation

it's happened twice for me now. one yesterday, one today

also, sometimes my cyber mastiff's skin gets stuck to one across all loadouts, even though i've selected different ones on all 4 loadouts of mine

[sand ledge]

i know its not the game, but what mission is the one on vt2 of the event?

[keen flume]

for the upcoming level?

[sand ledge]

the event of vermintide 2

[late valley]

Righteous Stand
Hunger in the Dark
Warcamp
Old Haunts
The Forsaken Temple

[short light]

Does anyone know why can't I see the player requests on party finder if anyone else is the host?

[glass fox]

Anyone got any advice getting better performance my specs are rx 7900 xt and r5 5700x3d and I'm struggling with fs3 on balanced at 1440p constant frame drops below 60

[strange thunder]

turn off ray tracing

if it's on

[gleaming copper]

am i the only one who cant equipskins for the weapons?

oh now they show up

oops

[modest marten]

~~theres some stuff you can do. ive been told that darktide has a terrible native renderer so using FSR might help you with that ~~ Im stupid and didnt read that you have fsr allready on

also disabling windows CFG can help you with performance aswell but i would only reccomend that as the last resort (if at all)

also resetting all the settings via the launcher and re-doing them might also help sometimes

deleting the shadercache is also worth a try.

[shadow skiff]

If you have DLSS, try with it off.

Do not ask me why, all I know is box of boom and rumblers stop causing insane stutters. My fps is lower, but also more stable. DLSS is like, 7-144 fps, off is 49-80.

[light blaze]

any idea what ssetting is causing this? I swear it was not doing that before

i do not recall changing anything

[fleet crest]

What am I doing wrong? I’m playing as Assail Psyker and every team I join steals my kills

Also using blaze force greatsword and void strike staff to master both weapons to 20

[polar forum]

wdym steal your kills

this isn't a competitive shooter lol

[fleet crest]

Meaning my hits or shots don’t damage the enemy enough while everyone else’s somehow kills with one hit or shot

[polar forum]

spam with lmb

[vocal nacelle]

usually assail need 3-4 shards to kill without empowered psionic on left click

right click maybe 1-2

[polar forum]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1046914150363844779/1393626978464043088/7A66861.MP4?ex=68fcf7c4&is=68fba644&hm=73a73e8f73b46f32337b6d3acf99b49f4120c51990dc2bc13d8bf2538f4bd0ba&

literally just magdump assail

[fleet crest]

How is ur peril almost never going up to 100? You didn’t activate gaze

While for me, it goes up

Did I not choose or missed some other talents?

[polar forum]

empowered psyonics keystone mostly

[fleet crest]

Think I regrettably chose Disrupt Destiny instead since I have that for a penance

[polar forum]

DD is stronger if anything because it gives stupid damage boosts

[smoky ember]

you know you can change talents right

its not set in stone

[modest marten]

great thinking. tho DLSS isnt available on AMD GPUs

[shadow skiff]

Frame gen stuff?

[modest marten]

frame gen for NVIDIA cards can be DLSS and FSR and for AMD cards its only FSR

FSR is for intel cards aswell i believe but i dont know if theres something similar on intels side

[shadow skiff]

Yeah, the idea is to turn them off and play. Cos I tried all of them and they made the fps wonky.

Sure, you get higher, but lows are insane.

[modest marten]

interestinly for me its the opposite. even if i put FSR on highest quality setting i have way more stable fps

[shadow skiff]

Performance modes of them gave me less fps on avg.

Why I think is PC to PC thing.

Never hurts to try.

[modest marten]

i used the native renderer for a very long time and got drops down to 25 fps. since i switched to fsr its all gone

even tho frame gen is off i believe

[shadow skiff]

What I stated was havoc 40, though the DLSS numbers were for last season. This one is worse though. I much prefer lower but less ping pong FPS.

And I don't think it's engine, even Cyberpunk 2077 shares the issue.

[modest marten]

yeah thats true. i too fancy stable fps more than higher frps

performance do be a fickle mistress sometimes

[shadow skiff]

Is a PC thing.

Could have two exact same ones and differing issues.

And the best part, turning off those fixed my issues with Box of Boom stutters.

[modest marten]

yeah. every electrical component has tolerances and thus you wont be able to get the excact same system ever

[shadow skiff]

Yep. Might need to tell them to try FSR off instead. Who knows, maybe the stutter if from all the oggies showing up with explosions.

[modest marten]

Ive also read somewhere that reducing or increasing the amount of worker threads can improve performance

[shadow skiff]

It can, usually real cores or it +1/-1.

[modest marten]

no clue about the ratio so just gotta test around. for me its 13/16. Got a 5800X3D

[shadow skiff]

True. I just use 6/8 cores.

[indigo sail]

How can i get FSR working? i have it enabled in Adrenaline and FSR 3.1 in game but it does not work. Do i need to bypass the launcher? if so how..

[rotund ermine]

Need to double check, does this stack with crite rate Curios

[grave moon]

That's damage not rate

Rate is how often it happens

Or chance

[formal horizon]

my tactical overlay is not showing (tab) any one know the fix?

[rotund ermine]

wait my bad

not crit rate

Curios Crit Damage stacks with it too?

along with maybe the weapons aswell?

[grave moon]

Yes so what ever extra damage crit does normally will then have all the modifiers added.

But here's the thing

Your curios don't stack fully I know that not sure if it implies on other things too. You can't get full value from multiple stacks on curios of crit rate or damage they diminish in return so on curios if you had all 3 with the +10 it will not be +30 more like +17

The only perks that stack on all 3 curios is hp, toughness, ability cooldown, and I think the toughness and stamina regen

I may be wrong on the regens

[inland lichen]

Does ranged damage nodes affect blitz damage?
Do the range damage nodes also affect dog damage for arbites?

[smoky ember]

curios cant have crit damage

ur thinking of toughness damage resistance against specific enemies

where its multiplicative, meaning each 20% TDR is 20% of the base

so if an attack were to do, 100 damage, one TDR curio would reduce it by 20, down to 80, 2 would reduce it by 36, down to 64, 3 would reduce it by 48.8, down to 51.2

[smoky ember]

but yes, it does stack

but crit damage isnt a good perk choice on really any weapon

taking +damage against an armor type is much better

[rotund ermine]

thanks

[smoky ember]

also, crit damage doesnt work the way you think it does

[smoky ember]

most talents that give weakspot or crit damage are good, as they give a pretty high amount

but the perks arent

[rotund ermine]

interesting, thanks again

[smoky ember]

of course

[fierce sandal]

Like physical cores? I might have to knock my worker threads down and try that. I've been getting some nasty stutters when hordes spawn in - not on screen, but just wherever they actually start "existing"

Not really sure the issue, but I figure it's gotta be cpu related since nothing, or very little is actually being rendered (animation culling is pretty severe for enemies not in LOS or a range). Thought maybe it was related to the server struggles over the last few patches, but I don't see anyone else mentioning this

[shadow skiff]

Yeah, the physical cores. Usually it's half of what's stated for AMD but you can look it up yourself.

[limber bison]

Hey console player here. I love darktide but its been plagued by error 2014 since lunch. All I want to do is play my favorite game. Ive tried everything recommended but im at the point of quitting and moving on.

[lime idol]

Usually, ranged damage talents don’t affect blitz (some exceptions for psyker)

Ranged damage talents don’t affect arb’s dog’s damage

[modest marten]

what about blades of faith for zealot since its still a thrown projectile

[stoic locust]

Tknives just get bonuses from everything

[modest marten]

sweet

[stoic locust]

5 stacks uncanny on melee + full surgical and handcannon

Because why not

[modest marten]

i dont use full surgical and handcannon on my build since i use the flamer but its still good to know

[stoic locust]

I wonder if you can still crusher oneshot with tknives

[modest marten]

with the right build maybe. sadly i sometimes need to throw 2 knifes at trappers even if the first was a weakspot hit

they feel a bit inconsistent sometimes but im allready used to inconsistency

probably an issue on my side tho

[stoic locust]

Tknives only fail a trapper oneshot headshot in havoc

[modest marten]

guess then its a skill issue

[stoic locust]

You can guarantee bodyshot kills with IJ

[clear plume]

really?

whats Tknife damage?

[stoic locust]

Good

Idk

Its 861 to maniac body

[clear plume]

weakspot?

[stoic locust]

Like 1.2k or smth

Idk

Maybe 1.4

Not at liberty to test

[modest marten]

whats IJ

[stoic locust]

Right keystone

[modest marten]

ah

i believe im running blazing piety

ye

[clear plume]

Havoc trapper is 1350

and knife does like 1.4-1.5k iirc

"• Damage: 585 base damage; high armor damage modifiers against Maniac/Infested; deals no damage against Carapace (unless weakspot hit or crit); no damage falloff"

one sec

testing more

you can 1 shot trapper

^this is no talents

(bar talents pathing to knife)

no damage increase

wait

I was holding relic blade, maybe that changed it

no maniac perk though

[warm axle]

whats the sound a daemonhost makes

the mumbling?

[smoky ember]

whispers n mumbling yeah

the rejects will also usually call it out

[modest marten]

also usually theres a lot of smoke and fog around the daemonhost

[stoic locust]

Your screen will also ice over

Background noise will drop away

[modest marten]

in most circumstances you can easily run around it by taking another route. i think theyre coded to be "optional"

[stoic locust]

Yeah they cannot block progression

[modest marten]

oh yeah the icing on the edges of your screen. good catch

[stoic locust]

They can make it really tight

But you can always get around one

[modest marten]

i think the only really poorly placed one is one in the mission Vigil Station Oblivium where the daemonhost is sitting right in front of a medstation

right before the bridge and the elevator

Or was it the silo cluster mission? im not entirely sure

[fickle ether]

Yea your thinking of silo also iirc there's one like that on gloriana

[modest marten]

i havent played gloriana much since it has a habbit of failing in the first 2 minutes

[lime idol]

That one is ranged attack

[short light]

Does anyone know why can't I see the player requests on party finder if anyone else is the host?

I'm playing with my gf and she can see a few players requesting to join but I see none

[tiny ibex]

Is it me or that is a new thing ? Or I never noticed it before

[keen flume]

party member

you playing with friends or havoc?

[tiny ibex]

Playing with 1 friend

So that's why lol, thanks

[keen flume]

Yeah it is that

Just an icon of whenever you play on a party

[ivory gate]

Does flashing someone with arbites' shield count as stagger?

[grave moon]

If they flinch or fall whatever

If they stand like nothing happened then it wasn't high enough impact

[shadow skiff]

It's 200 suppression codewise.

[grave moon]

It's easier to stagger just hitting them with your mace or pushing them to be honest

Perfect block is actually the best since it lasts longer but got to time your block right

[shadow skiff]

A bistol shot is around 11 in comparison.

[languid sail]

quick question: what are the additional effects to stimms when the community decided to recover more rations than destroy the previous day?

[north junco]

What is max "level" of curio?
And how to farm thoose with high stat?

[polar forum]

the stat you should really be looking at is the main buff it gives

like +3 stamina, 17 toughness, 21 hp

those are the max values

the only time you care about the level is that you don't want +3 stam curios that are only at level 400

because those are fakes

and only give +2 stam despite what the UI tells you

[north junco]

Thx ill keep that on mind.
And what about wound zealot? Viable?

[polar forum]

yeah it's great

my favorite type of zealot

[north junco]

Was wondering, and how it works? i need to have 7 wound and 6 blanks?

5 max sorry

how to menage that? In curios?

[polar forum]

iirc zealot maxes out on the number of wounds required for martyrdom now with 2 wound curios

and then you can take toughness or something as your third curio

no point in taking 3 wound curios anymore

[north junco]

so there is +1 wound max on curio?

[polar forum]

yeah

+1 wound is max

[north junco]

Okay so now i need to get 2 curios 😄

[cloud adder]

Can you see what the daily ration event does?

One day it was more ammo, now its melee.. speed?

[cloud adder]

thanks

Ok .. thats enough of that invisble fire on the floor, is there a mod that shows a AOE Circle on the floor for that ?

[strange thunder]

I still run 3 wound curios, leaves with me with more health remaining when I'm at max stacks on martyrdom

so you can get back to quarter HP after until death procs

and still have max stacks

[rancid raft]

I complete a mortis trial on auric difficulty without picking up any ammo or using a medicae station, but I didn’t complete the “no provisions” penance.

Do I need to complete the trial without using any healing packs along with medicae?
Or maybe without anybody else on the team picking up ammo/healing?

[strange thunder]

med kits are fine, your teammates can do whatever

you probably picked up some ammo on accident

[rancid raft]

Okay, thanks. I’m not sure then, I’ll just do it again and see if it works this time

[strange thunder]

yeah, can always go staff on psyker to make sure it can't happen

[rancid raft]

That might work, but I’ll have to make a new build for psyker because I haven’t used them since the update. I’ll just be more careful this time

[rancid raft]

I’m not sure if I did anything different, but it worked this time

[warped basin]

where in the game options is disable chat? I can't for the life of me find it

[keen flume]

Dont think you can

[warped basin]

you're telling me that after almost 3 years this game doesn't have the option to disable chat or at least mute all?

[keen flume]

Not sure if there any mods for it

Either way, it is easy to just ignore like almost nobody ever bothers to check or read

[warped basin]

easy for you maybe, and not everyone's you

[keen flume]

I already met with quite enough of individuals in all types of games so I am not affected by any insults

Let them whinge until they rage

[stoic locust]

You can mute vc

Not text

Actually you might be able to mute individual player text

[broken raptor]

Why are people recovering rations instead of destroying them? Am I missing something? Am I out of touch? Starvation Riots is miles better than Angry Ogryns. Angry Ogryns feels worse than the beast of nurgle event

[smoky ember]

bosses are fun

[broken raptor]

This makes no sense to me because I hardly see plague ogryns, but you get human bosses if you destroy the rations. It's always just oops all crushers and mutants

[warped basin]

it's not an issue of what they're typing because 99% it's useless garbage anyway
I pay attention to everything on the screen, it's distracting me and it's not information I need or want so I want to get rid of it, period

guess I'll have to update mods again so I can have yet another feature that a multiplayer game in 2025 doesn't have baseline

[dense tulip]

melee buffs for recovering rations are cool though

[keen flume]

Recovering does have better daily buffs and more fun

Blue stimm effects permanent on mission and increased ogryn spawns

But destroying does spawn 21st hordes, captains and twins during mission

As for the daily buff, it does give more ammo, higher ranged cleave

Also inferno modifier if I remember

[polar forum]

i have become recover-pilled

so much more fun than destroying

[keen flume]

Me like recover buffs but me like destroy mission spawns

And yet can only pick one

[strange thunder]

the destroy daily buffs are not as fun, tho inferno is peak modifier

[split vortex]

idk if this is much of gameplay help or advice, but i have a decisive question.

Is teamwork essential?

[clear plume]

no

every difficulty can be solo'ed

but it takes more skill, teamwork just makes it easier

[split vortex]

mmm i see

its like a combat puzzle with teamwork as a crutch

[modest marten]

the highest ive seen so far is 430. tho you probably want all curios to be at the most possible stat like youve allready been told. usually the threshold to get the highest possible stat is 420 or something

[faint perch]

I'll disagree somewhat with Ainz and say yes. While it is possible to play without teamwork, all 4 players will be weaker

[clear plume]

well of course

4 just makes it easier

[modest marten]

isnt that why Fatshark removed loner from the zealot? To push more teamplay that is

[polar forum]

I mean it was just bad design

And taking it was trolling

[modest marten]

maybe. i didnt found it to be that bad when doing the penance linked to it

tho usually one takes beacon of purity or benediction since theyre way way better

[vocal nacelle]

depends on your build

if you have swiss knife build you can tackle everything

[modest marten]

What i personally value way more than actual teamplay is not being sold my teammates. With that i mean for example one teammate blasting a poxburster near other teammates even tho theyre allreay on their way to pushing them back
maybe a bit petty but you get the picture

[faint perch]

It does show a lack of awareness. That said, I think everyone messes up sometimes. Like we may think a teammate is out of range, so we shoot the burster to save them and they do get hit

[modest marten]

yeah no worres. if it happens it happens but its def annoying if its a reoccuring thing

[grave moon]

That I feel happens more in the lower levels. The higher levels is when you trust them to push it and they don't

[modest marten]

agreed. ive started to grind some auric lately but i to be honest im kind of loosing any motivation to play. if i play any kind of missions that includes hunting grounds its allmost a compelte wipe.

the entire team just scatters as soon as some dogs start to appear. I usually try to stick with the nearest teammate i find but that does not solve the issue in the first place

and due to my realla great network connection i cant rely on pushing dows away most of the time

[grave moon]

Best way to handle that is finding a narrow position and funnel them into gunfire or grenades

[modest marten]

thats what im trying to do if i can find such a position

i feel like thats basic knowledge of positioning

[grave moon]

Usually if you keep running ahead you will find one or if you see buildings near you

Pox hounds are weird they rarely jump on you when running but once you stop is when they pounce

[modest marten]

getting the auric storm survivor penance seems so completely out of reach right now and i absolutely dont want to cheese it

like leaving as soon as you go down

[grave moon]

I had them follow me for a while when I was rushing to safety a few times. They just keep following till you stop

As arbite though I don't worry about hounds too much I only start going to narrow areas when there is like an army of mutants or crushers

[modest marten]

yeah luckily the dog helps you out in case you get pounced

[grave moon]

Yeah lol but also it does require micro management when there are non-stop variety of specials coming at you. Sometimes I got to move to the side to see around crushers or bulwark to have it attack trappers or things that can really make a wipe especially if I'm face tanking a large group of ogryns

[modest marten]

as someone who recently picked up the flamer i love having a grouped up horde right in front of me

so i can just blaze away

[grave moon]

For some reason it's down to my dog to take care of important enemies since everyone wants to kill the crushers

[modest marten]

corridors and tight spaces are really nice for that

and if theres some trapper or other thing behind the crushers/bulkwarks it will get roasted too

but i also tend to look around from time to time due to lack of trust that teammates will handle them

[grave moon]

Flamer can be fun I did it for a while on zealot but fell in love with recon lasgun. Lol I use it on both my zealot and vet now

It's like mowing a lawn all that's left standing are trees

[modest marten]

im using the recon lasgon on my psyker for a while now (couple month) and since the big balancing update a few weeks ago ive seen more and more psykers using it too

hows that?

[grave moon]

What you mean?

[modest marten]

ive seen more and more psykers using the recon lasgun recently

and ive wonderes if theres a reason for that

[grave moon]

No asking about your question

Oh

I don't know I use a melee psyker. I rarely use range unless for a boss or monstrosities

[strange thunder]

I mean it's a nice gun to use with SG

increased crit rate and the already high rate of fire lets you trigger EE often and apply burn stacks

and since SG overall was buffed, more people run it

[grave moon]

Ah figured it was for the burn stacks

Is it good for monstrosities or bosses?

[strange thunder]

good against anything that isn't carapace

[grave moon]

Ah ok so I'll stick to my staff lol

[strange thunder]

I mean you just deal with that using melee like FGS

[grave moon]

I do use it just when I want to stay away I need a good range

Not smart to fight things in puddles of fire, gas etc

[warped basin]

what happened to revolver ammo capacity
I didn't change my build and didn't see anything in the patch notes, last week my max ammo was ~60, today I noticed it being ~100

[shadow skiff]

Event buff for destroy is double max ammo.

If the event map is inferno, you will get double ammo pool.

[warped basin]

thanks, I keep forgetting the ingame event actually does something

[nimble narwhal]

i don’t know who to use

[strange thunder]

what class to start with?

[late valley]

Whichever one looks the coolest

[fair terrace]

How do you even get this? It seems purely luck based with you waiting for a horde that will get decimate by a teammate anyways

[stoic locust]

Mercantile

The mission that begins with a breach charge is real easy for it

Just get an friend and stall the horde after the dropdown to the second charge

Pop stuns, then use flamer

[languid sail]

ok, i gotta ask.. is this just on my end? it's been like this for at least a year. i don't even remember what it originally was (i have NO mods, and have never had any mods either. verified my files several times over the past year(s) and it's stayed like this)

and if it isn't just on my end, why haven't it been fixed? lol

is this accidental cross-class victory pose the glue holding darktide together?

[fair terrace]

That's going to suck, I don't actually have somebody to work with

atm, I'm trying to do this on random que with no success

[trim river]

anyone knows how to get more fps on this game without enabling frame gen, on a 4070s and my frame drops below 60-70fps in hordes im only on medium settings with most other settings turnt off, 1080p

[keen flume]

game native perfomance is unfortunately terrible without using DLSS

[clear plume]

[keen flume]

I have a 4060 and when I tried Darktide with my brand new pc few months ago without frame gen it would cause frame drops at high density sessions

And DLSS was the only solution to have smoother experience

[wooden rain]

is the buff today stims or ranged

[keen flume]

Ranged

[coral relic]

when the hell is there new map rotation coming to havoc?

feels like the same maps since bound by duty update

[strange thunder]

they've usually done rotations on hotfixes

but that's not gonna happen for a while now

[warm axle]

I need to kill one last enemy type

the one that throws pest bombs

the fart clouds

[strange thunder]

pox bomber ye

[warm axle]

in which missions are they prone to spawn?

[strange thunder]

don't think it has specific missions, but it can't spawn on scab only ones

[warm axle]

playing on heressy btw

[strange thunder]

so not the event missions

[warm axle]

i swear i need one to get all the enemies in the psykhanium

[noble elbow]

does kinetic flayer talent count towards power up and prioritise targets penances on psyker?

[strange thunder]

which ones are those again

[noble elbow]

kill 200 specials/elites with bb and kill 100 specials/elites when on max warp charges

[strange thunder]

it should

[noble elbow]

Yeah but like I don't see them progressing since like 4 missions which is weird because I know they did earlier

[fluid trench]

Anybody willing to help with the "Shocking Stuff" penance?

[smoky ember]

it was just a bad aura

the toughness gen was worthless

and it didnt affect spawns at all

it was only ever taken to save points on stealth builds

[patent jasper]

also the increased coherency regen talent at the top of the tree did the same thing

[clear plume]

but better

[potent gull]

What level of havoc = damnation difficulty?

[patent jasper]

somewhere around 17 iirc

[smoky ember]

30

i think

its higher than 17 i know that

@clear plume is it 30? that havoc = damnation?

[grave moon]

Depends if you talking normal damnation or an event. Normal damnation is about 15

30 is way above auric Maelstrom

[clear plume]

in what way?

ingame difficulty?

or what the code is

[smoky ember]

that

like

health

n such

[clear plume]

0-10 is coded as malice (3 wounds). 10-20 (heresy) 20-30 (damnation) 30+ (auric)

[smoky ember]

thanks

[clear plume]

you can find with with mods easily

auric since it was a havoc 40

[grave moon]

How often is that mod updated though?

[clear plume]

at every major update

[grave moon]

Ok cool

[potent gull]

Damn, I’m struggling on heresy havoc at level 19…

[clear plume]

its not the actual difficulty

its just what its coded as

[trim river]

NOOOOOOOO

[potent gull]

Yo

Is there supposed to spawn 3 shield dudes at once at level 18 havoc lol

[grave moon]

It's rng

[fickle ether]

Like captains? Sometimes you can get twins plus a captain to spawn

[grave moon]

But that is actually low

Bulwark

[fickle ether]

Ah

Dont back up too far

[grave moon]

At least I believe he is talking about bulwark

[potent gull]

3 bosses with all shields

[grave moon]

Oh

[potent gull]

How tf honestly im mad about that last one

[grave moon]

You got the short end of the stick

It's not common but it does happen

[fickle ether]

Best way to avoid that is try to hear the impossible twins spawn effect and not pass a boss trigger intill you kill them

You kinda have to play havoc alot to know the boss trigger points tho

[potent gull]

Damn

Im mad

[grave moon]

Though it's a good introduction for havoc at least it was a lower level one

[vocal nacelle]

one does not simply rush when playing havoc

havoc have layered boss trigger you can trigger it all if you arent careful

cue 2 monster 3 captain

[grave moon]

Yeah it's why they removed crafting mats in the matches to prevent people from stopping and to keep moving

Though honestly they should be more detailed in the tutorial. Like have npcs yell at you to keep moving and have waves of enemies. The mission objective saying rush to the objective. Npc yelling why are you not dodging etc

The earlier they apply pressure the more beneficial it will be. That way the player is more knowledgeable of the game

Lol but instead they go hey this is how you shoot tutorial done

[strange thunder]

how do people play combat axe? I've never really gotten in to it or what class to even use it on

[void forge]

Use the Rashad mk. Take headtaker and brutal momentum for blessings. Spam light attacks into everything that isn't unyielding/cara. Spam heavies for those guys. Win.

[strange thunder]

no worthwhile combos or anything?

[void forge]

Nope, it's a shit simple weapon which is why some people think it's very boring

[strange thunder]

gotcha, I'll give it a try

what perks btw

[void forge]

Perks may vary from class to class. Just know it's important to hit that onehit headshot on enemies for brutal momentum, so take perks that enable your class to do that

Or just go unyielding cara if you are too lazy to care about breakpoints

[strange thunder]

aight I'll prob test on arby first, ty

[lime idol]

Unarmored + carapace

[eager basin]

Does the experience boost help with weapon mastery experience? y/n

[polar forum]

Nope

[eager basin]

Classic fatshark

Oh well, thanks for the swift answer

[polar forum]

best bet is sacrificign green weapons

of the same type

otherwise it's just a matter of grinding

[eager basin]

Yea I got just stupid amounts of cash so I often buy out the shop, but I am doing characters that somehow never gotten masteries despite getting all their achievements/penances in the first batch and a few of the 2nd batch of penances added etc

So sitting there with a lv0 staff is just demeaning

[reef ibex]

Hey 👋

Just upgraded to Win 11 and every time I launch Darktide, windows is putting it into the background with my taskbar on top. Any idea what would cause this? A minor inconvenience to switch it to main focus, but still bugs me as it's weird

[real ether]

Will stacking multiple of the same buff on different curios be additive or multiplicative

Say for example I had 3 toughness curios

All with toughness secondaries as well

Is this a dumb idea

[patent jasper]

toughness/health is additive, dmg resistances are multiplicative

And no toughness maxing is not a bad idea

[noble elbow]

Do you have any tips for completing power up penance on psyker?

[novel ermine]

Which one is that again?

[noble elbow]

kill 100 elites/specials with brain burst when on max warp charges

[strange thunder]

just kill specials

use kinetic flayer upgrade

[novel ermine]

Well, it doesn’t have to be in one go, it’s just a bit of a grind of killing specials.

[strange thunder]

most penances are best done over time

[noble elbow]

kinetic flayer doesn't seem to work lately

[strange thunder]

wdym

[noble elbow]

I've done like 4 missions and both normal bb kills penance and power up didn't go up by one bit

and I'm pretty sure it worked at least for power up earlier

[strange thunder]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

idk, you'll get it eventually

[noble elbow]

yeah but it's just so tedious

maybe it bugged out after last patch idk

[novel ermine]

Not as tedious as veteran’s crab walking penance. Be thankful for that.

[noble elbow]

Yeah so far I've only maxed Ogryn and I'm terrified at the thought of doing that with other classes

[novel ermine]

The class penances can be very tedious, especially Ogryn’s.

[sterile ivy]

so i haven't really played the game much since release, and to be honest barely remember anything about the game as i only played for like 10 hours or so. if i choose to start the campaign over, am i gonna be stuck playing with bots in missions that nobody is doing anymore? or will i be able to play through the campaign with real people on normal missions?

[keen flume]

You are gonna be queueing with players who happen to be playing the campaign mission on current selected difficulity

[sterile ivy]

is that something people actually do? or will i just be waiting around for a group forever or get stuck with bots or something?

[keen flume]

Campaign missions appear on board rotation too so it makes the search for players faster

It does depend your region and current time

Not necessary to play campaign unless you wanna learn more about the current story and timeline of the game but it does have quite good stuff including end mission cutscenes

[sterile ivy]

does it like actually explain how the game and classes work mechanically? or is it just like lore stuff?

idc about the lore stuff too much, i just want to re-learn how to play the game

[keen flume]

Just lore stuff

Campaign missions do have their unique modifiers though tied to enemy spawns of both factions as far i remember

[sterile ivy]

i see

i will just skip the campaign and like watch a youtube video to figure out how to play the game again

thanks for the info

[keen flume]

You can always ask more for the classes channel if you wanna learn for each

[polar glade]

are the mortis memories randomized by which one you get every run or do they exclude already played ones? do they only count if you complete the full run from start to end? and is there a best way to farm all of them for the penance?

[keen flume]

All random

If you wanna get that remembrancer title, your best of luck

[patent jasper]

gambling: the penance

[keen flume]

More gamble added each update drops more memories and characters to complete

The people who got the title back in Q1 update are eating well

[polar glade]

riiiip

well

[rancid raft]

Is bubble shield psyker still good in havoc since the talent tree changes? It feels a lot worse than it used to be without the ability regen from warp charges.

And with plasma gunners, no idea how they affect the bubble shields because I haven’t fought one yet.

[patent jasper]

at the very least plasma gunners dont pierce the bubble shield

[polar forum]

The ability regen is still there

[polar forum]

Yeah I think you can still get splashed

But it doesn’t go through

[rancid raft]

Oh, I don’t remember seeing the talent for it when I looked. was it moved somewhere else in the talent tree?

I haven’t played in months so I’m probably missing something

[grave moon]

Isn't the ability regen your coherency

I just don't remember if shield had that but been a while since I done shield

[polar forum]

There’s psykinetics aura in the center of the tree

And then there’s warp charges which gives something stupid

Like 45 percent off your cooldown

[rancid raft]

Okay thanks, I’ll check tomorrow morning because it’s getting late. I just remember there being a talent which consumed warp charges and gave you like 20% or more ability regen.

Im probably misremembering it.

[grave moon]

Warp charges are at the bottom to the left of the tree I believe

Oh were you here before the tree got updated into 3 trees?

3 branches

Lol or even had branches

[cosmic sky]

It used to be but it got reworked.

[grave moon]

They change too much things lol hard to keep up. It's like that whenever I'm like eh I haven't touch this class in a long time let me hop on it. Then I'm like wtf now I need to figure out a new build

Though I have noticed it getting easier to mix and match things

[untold moth]

Hi, i have a Question, in my game i was close to gater/destroy 3000 rations and sudenly, every part of the event stop showing. No more info in Tab key and in missions it dosnt say anything when i colect a ration

[grave moon]

When was this?

[untold moth]

30 min ago

[grave moon]

Maybe reset for next day to tally

[untold moth]

My friends where playing with me and for them it was runing ok

[grave moon]

Oh

[untold moth]

Ok ok

Maybe tomorrow will be fixed

[grave moon]

Could be a glitch then did you try restarting the game?

[untold moth]

... No... F*** i feel dumb XD

[grave moon]

Yeah if everyone else still going I don't believe it's over yet

I mean unless there's some daily limit

That I don't know about

[untold moth]

Ty for your help, i will try that

[grave moon]

No problem

[fickle ether]

<@&735928989146939404>

[grave moon]

Lol uh oh someone in trouble

[clear plume]

just a bot spam

[grave moon]

Yeah lol figured

[vocal nacelle]

Hanz get ze hammer

[novel ermine]

Ze heavy thammer?

[upbeat knot]

Does any one know for the "Flawless Execution" penance can it be quick play runs or does it have to be one where you start finish it from start to end?

[uneven tide]

Idk if its just me lacking as a player but I can't progress in Havoc. Out of 30 attempts I have won 6

[vocal nacelle]

What havoc rank

[uneven tide]

I reset myself to 1 but initially it was rank 16.

[vocal nacelle]

Rank 16 is heresy difficulty

[uneven tide]

In theory it should be easy but nothing has worked reliably.

[fickle ether]

Alot of the difficulty in havoc comes down to teammates if you arent already I would use the LFG channels in the discord partyfinder is... it's there

[vocal nacelle]

There's a lot of factors

[uneven tide]

I tried to be anti Armour and died to ranged shooters being cracked and attempted to Anti Range lead me to be swamped by Armour. It boggles me some nights

[uneven tide]

Yeah, that's a fair point; I'm hitting a upper limit. I could just not be built for Havoc

[vocal nacelle]

Veteran class?

[uneven tide]

Yup

I was running two different builds

Plasma, Krak and Shout Vet

Bolter, Frag, Executioner Vet

[vocal nacelle]

Tbh running vet havoc queue with randoms is harder than other class

[vocal nacelle]

Try smoke

[uneven tide]

Never did get a handle on smokes. Do I toss them at the enemy and force them to move up or throw it at my feet and try to bait them in?

[vocal nacelle]

throw at feet, infront of you as cover, at them to confuse them

most of the time i throw it as mobile cover, going back into smoke to snipe safely

[nimble narwhal]

in about 20 mins can anyone help me level up my arbites

[polar forum]

#vox-lfg-emea #vox-lfg-nasa

[inland lichen]

What's the highest difficulty you can pick up grimoires in that pub lobbies won't suddenly collapse

[vocal nacelle]

auric maelstorm for the funny

[novel ermine]

To be safe, I’d say Heresy. But you can always try your luck in damnation and/or auric pal.

[inland lichen]

The last time I tried it in auric, the chinese guy with 2000+ levels left and never came back

[novel ermine]

Skill issue.

[inland lichen]

And before that, I was suspiciously barreled off the map in one of those refinery missions

[novel ermine]

Probably some intentional friendly fire by some teammates with skill issues.

[inland lichen]

Regular auric runs- Everyone is usually at near max health most of the time

But the moment a tiny bit of corruption damage hits their health bar, they suddenly start doing stupid shit

[novel ermine]

Just play some heresy missions to get those annoying grimoire and scripture penances out of the way.

[cloud adder]

"Close Damage, Close Range" means prob. up to 6 meters?

[void forge]

It's either 8 or 12.5 meters, I forget which

[clear plume]

12.5

8 was before the change pre crafting update

[hushed rover]

Hi everyone, do you know where I can find a clear explanation of the havoc ranking system? I can't find anywhere what happens if I play low level havoc missions with a friend but don't win a single game solo at my higher havoc level until the end of the week...

[strange thunder]

except that is exactly why you run auric maelstrom: they don't spawn

[wheat night]

If you play a mission you won't lose any clearance levels. Doesn't matter if it's a mission lower than your current assignment

Doesn't matter if you win or get wiped

As long as you don't quit and witness the win/lose screen

[hushed rover]

Thx 😊

[wheat night]

The "highest level completed this week" on Dukane's screen is just for your weekly reward

[north junco]

What is "Finesse Damage"?

[clear plume]

weakspot and crit damage

[quiet moat]

[solemn kelp]

I'm getting this bug where I get locked into an animation like stuck blocking, or stuck winding up a heavy attack. Never had this issue before. Is there a fix?

[obtuse glen]

This is a dumb question but I'm pretty new. Am I actually looking for stats on my weapons, or do they all end up at the same palce once fully leveled?

[clear plume]

weapons have a max stat total of 380. so that is 4 of them being 80, and 1 being 60. The 60 is often called the "dump stat" the one that benefits you the least

all weapons are able to get to stat total of 380

just need to max out the weapon mastery

[obtuse glen]

Ohh okay, so basically just figure out which I can do without and I'll be set?

[clear plume]

yup

and its very easy

[obtuse glen]

Thanks a lot buddy

[clear plume]

melee weapons are mobility and defense since they dont affect damage

and for range its mobility or collateral for same reason

some weapons are unique and if you want an exact answer you can ask in the class chats

[obtuse glen]

mobility and def are dumps for melee, or 2 I want to have 80?

[clear plume]

the dump, so 60

[obtuse glen]

Okay great

[clear plume]

defense is less valued for most weapons, so if there is 2 dump stats. dump defense

weapons like vet shovel and ogryn ogryn have mobility and defense

[pure skiff]

does anybody know how i unlock havoc i did maelstrom mission on auric in big middle terminal and it didnt unlock do i have to get a group together at dukane and do a malestrom mission from her too?

[tame vortex]

are you at rank 30?

[pure skiff]

yes

like my charaecter level is 30 not my assienment rank from dukane

[tame vortex]

did you finish the campaign?

[pure skiff]

yeah i think so

where u gointo church to stop ritual?

go into*

[tame vortex]

did you speak to dukane?

[pure skiff]

think so

[tame vortex]

when you interact with dukanes station what does it say?

[pure skiff]

nothing she just brings me to the regualr assignment screen

and if i use party finder to make a havoc group havoc is blacked out

[tame vortex]

do you see current assignment rank in the upper left?

[pure skiff]

yeah it says im 16

[tame vortex]

you have havoc unlocked, havoc missions require you to be in a party to start though like you thought

[pure skiff]

ohhhhhhhhhhhh

[vocal nacelle]

you cant run havoc solo

use LFG channel here or the Party finder ingame

[tame vortex]

charisma dif, just have friends /s

[vocal nacelle]

because there on quick join middle of the match in havoc

[pure skiff]

i know i cant do havoc solo but i thought it would at least let me make a group for it cause it does for all the other categories in the party finder

just doesnt let me make a party finder group for havoc like that category is completly balcked out

blacked*

[vocal nacelle]

reset filter on party finder

[tame vortex]

clear the filters on the left side of your party finder

[pure skiff]

ohhhhhhhh yueah that worked!

yeah*

[vernal plaza]

UI strikes again

[pure skiff]

tyvm evrybody for all your help

thats so dumb that the ui is like that

lol ty anyway everybody

[tame vortex]

by our 3 collective braincells combined we prevail

[pure skiff]

lol

[warm axle]

is there a reason why teammates or myself cant pick up grimmoires and scriptures?

[vocal nacelle]

do you have medikit /ammo crate in slot?

[vernal plaza]

That will get replaced no?
Probably map geometry, cant say much without seeing the location

[keen flume]

Grimores can't be dropped unless on death or destroyed

[warm axle]

nope

none of us 4 did

there was only one no one could pick, we got the other 2

thats why i´m asking

[vocal nacelle]

maybe the grim/scripture got buried to the ground a little bit , some spawn are unpickable

[woeful otter]

not really game play per se but: is there any way to hear what the Krieg voice lines are that don't cost a pile of aquilas?

[woeful otter]

Worked it out: 'see on operative -> preview voice'.

[languid jewel]

[obtuse glen]

Oh my god I am so pissed. I had a Mk3 cleaver with perfect stats, needed a 4 so spent thousands of Plasteel/Diamantine leveling a low 4. Almost immediately after noticed you can just change which mark weapon you have....

[strange thunder]

rip

[obtuse glen]

big rip.

whats the fastest way to farm mats? It feels so slow

[vocal nacelle]

damnation for plasteel

auric for ordo

havoc for diamantine

[obtuse glen]

great thank you

[smoky ember]

some helmets change how your voice sounds

[near raven]

What do I do when it's the end of a High Intensity mission, I'm already sitting inside the elevator extract, but the people outside drag their feet on extracting so much that they go down, but still take like a solid minute to actually die so I can't extract?

Shit's infuriating. I've tried going out to rez but it feels impossible with the typical pub player somehow always finding the single worst spot on the entire map to go down in. I've tried sitting in the box and waiting for them to die, but those boxes are tiny and if you get mobbed or grenaded or dead.

Vent over, but oh my god.

[void forge]

Did you try actually communicating with them in any way? Or just waiting quietly in the elevator while they struggle

Like I understand being frustrated by a team that waffles about as you want to progress, but if you just sit in the elevator that will only make it harder for the other players fighting through hordes to get to the elevator because they are now only at 3/4 people

[strange thunder]

just play on higher difficulties when you're able to

people are better players there

but if that's not an option you just gotta stay with the team

even if they're lagging behind

[fierce charm]

Is there only one penance for killing Daemonhosts?

[wheat night]

I let people die outside elevator/dropship and I go pet my cat meanwhile

Usually it's the same people whining that you're speedrunning when you're just playing the objective

You don't get the missions done by killing poxxies

[near raven]

I tried joining them but then they just stand still and fight things forever without actually moving.

I play in EU so nobody actually speaks English either

[void forge]

English is the most spoken language in europe

[broken raft]

I get my achievement though

[hoary vault]

Am I supposed to be able to solo auric maelstrom to get the A.S.S title without cheating?

[patent jasper]

well you either prove you are A.S.S by cheating or you improve yourself, or just hope for a lucky streak in your matchmaking

[hoary vault]

there is no way to find a group of people wanting to get it legitimately?

I'm not lucky enough to get 2 teams in a row without level 20 people with quick play

[patent jasper]

#vox-lfg-lexicanum if you want some people from here

[hoary vault]

Thx! I'll try that

[patent jasper]

It’ll go much better than matchmaking (or at least be funny if it goes horribly)

[hoary vault]

I feel like havoc is so much easier than auric maelstrom because of the quality of your teammates 😄

[hexed agate]

heya been a long time since ive played, do i need to play a good amount with every class to get to hardest mode? seems like im stuck at uprising for every class

[patent jasper]

its about 5 wins per difficulty, but i think thats only if you selected to do the campaign?

[hexed agate]

thought i clicked skip

[polar forum]

No skipping the grind baby

You have to do it on every character because go fuck yourself

[hexed agate]

thanks very helpful..

[polar forum]

Literally 1000 hours in the game and I had to do it all over with arbi

And I’ll have to do it again with the new class too

Because fatshart is fucking stupid

[keen flume]

Shit, I forgot about that
We are cooked

[icy scroll]

is it just me or does the flamer suck to try and use? finally got one for my zealot and it was a horrible experience. the burst it gives off by default does about as much damages a none nurglite wet fart, and the continuous fire gets reset every time you get hit, which is CONSTANTLY. am i doing this wrong or is this just a terrible weapon? how am i suppose to effectively burn the heretics with this?

[clear plume]

left click is only for stagger, and there are talents to stop the stagger stun

and you need to keep back dodging if you are going to get hit while right clicking it

[vocal nacelle]

depends on the weapon stat and blessing , also you need to dodge while flaming stuff
and its normal for lvl 0 and grey flamer to feel weak

[icy scroll]

guess i need to make a new talent set up for dodging and mitigating stagger. thanks i will give it a try. i really want my zealot to make the flamer work. heretics generally dont burn themselves. 07

[polar forum]

Here’s another reminder: we’re going to have to grind curios again

[keen flume]

Ain't so bad since we lot of us already banking on them

[keen meteor]

so, where do I find dregs to kill in melee for melkbux?

[smoky ember]

dregs are the enemies in yellow rags

[keen flume]

Keep playing

they are random enemy spawns

[keen meteor]

yeah but like which missions have the most dregs

[smoky ember]

these guys

[keen meteor]

cause it seems like all scabs all the time

[smoky ember]

are you doing the campaign?

[keen meteor]

just quickplay mostly

[smoky ember]

then its just chance

[keen meteor]

which campaign missions should i replay for drugs?

dregs

[smoky ember]

unfortunately i have no idea

i didnt do the campaign

[keen flume]

relay station?

Pretty sure that Hourglass campaign mission always has dregs

[obtuse glen]

Can anyone explain the Blaze Force Greatsword for me? Sometimes I'll do basically 0 damage to a Crusher and sometimes he just falls over dead with one swing, like I used Brain Rupture on him. Having trouble finding where it explains what im doing right/wrong

[vocal nacelle]

are you using this

[obtuse glen]

Ohhh shit. I'm 99% sure that's it. I was just getting it at 12 second intervals I bet.

Thanks a ton man ❤️

[vocal nacelle]

there's other way to kill elites using deimos

L1-> heavy

or special attack

[obtuse glen]

Ohh nice. I'm trying out the Greatsword first but I'm going to that one next. Thank you 🙂

[mint sapphire]

Looking for a melee weapon recommendation for a veteran playing auric maelstroms, I want to focus on fastest unarmored horde clear

[vocal nacelle]

depends on the build

[mint sapphire]

Doing a support-ish build with recon lasgun ranged, kraks, the target thing for team support

not primary dps type

[vocal nacelle]

there's combat axe, falchion, shovel, powersword

[mint sapphire]

I don't have experience with any of those, cool, I'll try em, any you recommend to start with, for fast horde clear?

[vocal nacelle]

easiest one would be shovel and combat axe

put skullcrusher on shovel or put brutal momentum on rashad combat axe

aim at the head and you are pretty much set

[mint sapphire]

awesome, ty for advice

[mint sapphire]

will I be using heavy attacks for cleaving?

or spamming a bunch of light

[vocal nacelle]

just spam light

thats why its easy

[mint sapphire]

ah, would it be faster to use power sword and spam heavy attacks?

[vocal nacelle]

heavy 1 for single target

[mint sapphire]

ahhh

ok this may be a stupid question as im kinda new but

I thought killing unarmored hordes was all about spamming cleaving heavy attacks

[vocal nacelle]

you need to turn it on everytime for max damage

[mint sapphire]

yeah

[vocal nacelle]

depends on the powersword

mk6 is special -> light -> light

mk3 is the heavy swing one

[mint sapphire]

hmmmm

[vocal nacelle]

just ask everything , better to get more info to avoid staring at the ground when playing on high difficulty

[mint sapphire]

so if it's the mk3 vs a shovel or axe, i assume mk3 is faster at the unarmored horde clear

[pastel forge]

https://tenor.com/view/microwave-gif-18041779

[pastel forge]

Mk6 is the better pord iirc

[vocal nacelle]

still new prob havent unlocked it yet

[pastel forge]

But yes pord is better than shovel and axe for unarmored horde clear

And mixed horde clear

And boss killing

And elite killing

[mint sapphire]

and then pord vs shock maul for horde clear, pord wins?

[pastel forge]

Pretty much better at everything except mobility

[pastel forge]

Yes

[vocal nacelle]

the power sword cons is you have gimped mobility

[mint sapphire]

hm that's fine

[pastel forge]

And also having to constantly reactivate it

Because unpowered state is just worthless

[mint sapphire]

I assume people use mods for activation at high levels? or naw

[vocal nacelle]

mods?

[mint sapphire]

ya

[vocal nacelle]

you 100% want this on your power sword

[mint sapphire]

nice ok i'll get

[vocal nacelle]

if you dont have this equipped enjoy suffering

[mint sapphire]

mobility dump stat i assume

[pastel forge]

Power cycler is mandatory to run yeah

[vocal nacelle]

yes

[pastel forge]

And then for the second slot its either sunder or brumentum

[mint sapphire]

which version? of the power sword for horde clear?

[vocal nacelle]

mk6

[mint sapphire]

awesome

thank you both for insights

[lime idol]

Cleave targets is dump for power sword

[mint sapphire]

@lime idol damn rally? thought it'd be useful for horde clear (whcih is my goal for this weapon for this build), but i can try other one

[languid jewel]

Nah

I would ho mob

[lime idol]

It matters insignificantly little for power sword

10.9 vs 11.7 cleave

You don’t cleave more of anything significant

[mint sapphire]

ahhh ok ok

[languid jewel]

But mob is the same no?

Not much difference

[lime idol]

U run noticeably faster

[languid jewel]

Id rather cleave more

[pastel forge]

Specially if you have sunder

[strange thunder]

you're gonna block a lot with power sword as well

[lime idol]

Even without sunder

[languid jewel]

Aight

[lime idol]

0.8 cleave is just not a big difference

[strange thunder]

block to power up and such

[lime idol]

Lowest mass enemy in the game is 1.25

lol

[mint sapphire]

I just found a mod to activate the power sword special ability so hopefully that'll help

wait block to power up? block powers it up like special ability?

[lime idol]

No

U can cancel the power up animation with block

Which cuts a few frames

[mint sapphire]

ahhhh

[strange thunder]

and one of the marks allows you to power it up while blocking

since you can otherwise get stunned when surrounded

just helps create a little space

[lime idol]

Neither can

Power sword’s activation doesn’t have block status

[strange thunder]

yeah but it doesn't prevent you from doing it while holding block

[lime idol]

Both can activate from block

Neither can block while activating

[strange thunder]

huh, was sure it was just one

[fierce charm]

What's the fastest way to increase weapon mastery?

Probably running Rolling Steel right?

[pastel forge]

Go to brunt's arsenal->buy a bunch of the weapon you want to level->go to hadron->upgrade those weapons from grey to green->sacrifice them

[pastel forge]

@fierce charm

[fierce charm]

Oh, that's a good idea! Does upgrading to green require plasteel or diamantine?

[pastel forge]

Not diamantine

Thats for sure

[fierce charm]

Nice! I have far too much plasteel anyway

[fierce sandal]

Anyone else getting this "can't tag enemies" bug? Also seems to prevent viewing the tab overlay, but that's less of an issue...

And if so, are you running mods or not?

[latent haven]

not running mods, not having any issues rn

[wheat night]

Only plasteel for grey to green. Be mindful that a sacrificed weapon will earn more xp if the sacrifice is for mastery of the same weapon type

[fierce sandal]

Found post on the forums - status "acknowledged" so that's good I guess. Reported on Xbox as well as PC so guessing not mod related... Seems more related to havoc given the context there

[vocal nacelle]

arbites ?

[fierce sandal]

Veteran, personally

[fierce charm]

Is there a best dump stat sheet for every gun in the game?

[mint sapphire]

@fierce sandal ya I had that bug earlier

[fierce sandal]

do you use mods? don't suppose you remember what game mode you were playing?

[mint sapphire]

I use mods ya, was playing auric maelstrom, it bugged out during a mission for a couple minutes, then i re-set a key bind and it came back

[polar forum]

it's usually mob or def, and some class chat pins have guides

actually maybe all of them do now

so check pins in class chat

[fierce charm]

I guess my new goal is to get 5 of every weapon in the game, one for each dump stat

I gotta make my goals realistic, wouldn't want to do anything crazy or uncalled for

Actually, what am I thinking! Would I ever want damage to be the dump stat on anything? Maybe I only need 4 of each weapon!

[mint sapphire]

@vocal nacelle you were helping with power sword earlier, does power cycler give me extra energized attacks? I'm testing it in the test area and it doesn't seem to give me any extra (I get 3, just as before)

[vocal nacelle]

no PC blessing only give 1 swing

[mint sapphire]

1 extra swing, so I should see 4 total, is that right?

[vocal nacelle]

base is 1
with max cycler give 3 swing (+2)

[mint sapphire]

ohhhhh got it

[near raven]

Is there a trick to quickly solo kill a Sword Captain as Arbiter? Every damn game the entire team goes down when a Sword Captain shows up and I'm stuck slowly battering him down for like 10 minutes and it sucks

[novel ermine]

As Arby specifically, I don’t believe so. I could be wrong, however.

[polar forum]

i wouldn't really recommend this but you COULD use shock maul or a chain weapon

and by shock maul i mean the normal one, not ASM or shield

Oh Taxe is good too

[fierce charm]

Do you know how many green weapons it takes to go from 1-20 mastery?

[pastel forge]

idk

[novel ermine]

I usually make around 35-ish.

[inland lichen]

How long do you have to wait in the lobby for the idle animations to play?
I wanna know how I can get my ogryn to sit

[vocal nacelle]

50ish

[fierce charm]

Awesome! Do you know how much plasteel it costs?

[novel ermine]

Don’t remember off the top of my cranium. Let’s go with a guesstimate of 6,000 - 7,000? It’s pretty cheap all things considered.

I think upgrading to green costs like 150? Idk, haven’t had to upgrade in forever.

[craggy minnow]

either flamer or psyker-flamer dumps damage cant remember which

[fierce charm]

Thank you 😊

[polar forum]

Both actually

[fierce charm]

Why do you dump damage?

[polar forum]

Actually

Purg dumps warp resist

[polar forum]

For flamer nearly all the damage is from the burn

[fierce charm]

I see!

[fierce charm]

If you need a quick mastery 20 it's for sure pretty cheap, but if you want all weapons at 20 mastery it's a bit expensive overall

[craggy minnow]

Yeah i was going to say i think purg tick damage is on the damage stat

[novel ermine]

True.

[pastel forge]

If it directly affects your damage output then chances are its not the dump stat

Also goes for finesse, crit bonus, stopping power, piercing, cleave targets/damage, ammo (except for ogryn's ripperguns those dont want the ammo stat higher than 66%), etc etc

[coral relic]

How are these weapon stats possible? all 80 and one 61% instead of 60

[keen flume]

Blessed by emperor himself or just a visual glitch

[coral relic]

[wheat night]

Rounding error; your 61% is a 60.XX% and one of the 80's is a 79.XX%

Tbh it's negligible

[smoky ember]

literalt unplayable

losing 0.4% damage ruins the weapon,,

[warm axle]

how do you watch your scoreboard at the end of the mission, or your log history

mod?

[vocal nacelle]

yes

[warm axle]

oonf

[chrome vapor]

does confident strike (toughness on chained hit) not work on captains bubbles?

[vocal nacelle]

its easy to install

[fierce charm]

Is there a config / mod that improves fps?

[elfin sedge]

Let me know when you find out

[warm axle]

already got an answer lol

its a mod

[elfin sedge]

Ah

Fuck
