[clear plume]

zealot and arby

but all classes have their pros and cons

[muted pumice]

the terminology comes from the warhammer boardgame where a "Wound" is basically hit points. A normal soldier's stats have them able to take one or two wounds before dying.

[onyx night]

Ohhh, thanks you! So maybe 3 or 4 are okay while I learn, but having 5+ slow you down offensively?

[muted pumice]

It's also very important to note that you can gain purple health by being exposed to pox, and an entire wound will go purple if you get downed. This is basically max health reduction.

If you have only one wound left that isn't purple and you get downed you will die instantly with no opportunity to be revived.

[clear plume]

lower difficulties already provide you with extra wounds, base is 2. But planning on your downfall and teammates being able to revvie you is not a good mindset. Haveing more toughness to prevent the down in the 1st place is the best plan

[muted pumice]

In lower difficulties you get an extra wound automatically, that is all you need for learning the game imho.

Otherwise you rarely take extra wounds in your build. Exceptions include:

• Martyrdom zealot who takes lots of wounds because they gain bonuses based on how many wounds they have lost.
• Squishy builds like psyker when the player finds themselves getting oneshot a lot at higher difficulties - particularly in Havoc where there is no toughness grace period.

[clear plume]

I 100% disagree with the 2nd point

[muted pumice]

Possibly it might change in future balance, but for the moment people most often take curios that benefit some mix of max hp and toughness.

[clear plume]

that is actually wrong because the things that down you deal corruption damage

so wounds are negated

[muted pumice]

I personally do not do this either. I think it's a waste, but I have seen it done.

[clear plume]

the worst thing to do in havoc is stack wounds

I see 5 wounds vet too

they die in 1 shot because they dont have any defense

[muted pumice]

Theoretically a kamikaze psyker could stack wounds too but honestly I think that would exclusively be a meme build.

[clear plume]

meme and not good

yes

[onyx night]

And as for the weapons, I see that you can upgrade all to exalted

[clear plume]

also psyker isnt squishy anymore

all weapons can get to yellow 500 rating, yes

[onyx night]

But the goal would be all 80/80?

[clear plume]

stats can only total 380

so 4 80s and 1 60

the 60 is called the "dump stat"

the stat you dont need

example of perfect weapon

I used the darktide website so it will look a bit off

[muted pumice]

Moreover I think it's a fundamental skill to instead learn how to take as little damage as possible.

Being able to go down <2 times before you find a medicae is bare minimum milestone for moving to the next difficulty imo.

[warped basin]

is it good/bad for a smyker to out-damage 3 arbitrators?

[clear plume]

too many variables

[sacred dagger]

Hi, best ressourse to find the best combo with melee weapon for horde clear/single target, outside of youtube ?

[clear plume]

doesnt matter

[clear plume]

this server and asking people who read the code/extensive testing

[muted pumice]

Witches and arbites have similarly high damage potentials; I think witch is higher (fact check pls), but the difference being that the Arb has an easier time doing a lot with less reliance to be enabled by teammates.

[onyx night]

Thank you Ainz and Kedge

[warped basin]

not sure what to think about having outdone my teammates by minimum 100k damage (damnation, hi-int) when usually all I am is a walking "you're free to hit anything around me" thing
or what am I misunderstanding here, am I not supposed to be the damage enabler for my team? I'm usually the one with the lowest raw damage

[green flame]

I'm juggling whether to play veteran or zealot in auric maelstrom going into havoc.
Mainly focusing on supporting the team as an allrounder. For this played mostly vet with carapace focused melee,
and ranged for sniping specialists. Both classes offer gold toughness, with what seems to be similar uptime.
Both have good hordeclear with shredder frags vs flamethrower. The one edge veteran has is ammo sustain,
but zealot with better melee stats might kill crushers better.

[clear plume]

play whats fun

its video game

[soft ferry]

Are both twins and captain shields considered flak?

[muted pumice]

Some people are also just kinda bad. It's not unusual to outpace people by 2-4x their total damage, depending.

[clear plume]

they are their own armor

called void shield

[muted pumice]

I don't know what builds all four of you were on but tbh if they were rocking something stagger oriented and you ran the flamestaff then yup you'll probably do more damage. Or I'd hope you would.

[soft ferry]

Ah damn I was lied to then. Ty

[copper tendon]

do poxbursters count as melee damage? I am trying to do the 0 melee damage taken penance and I know I was hit by one in my last run

[clear plume]

explosion

[muted pumice]

They have a void shield and once it breaks it's something else. I wanna say it's flak, but could be unyielding etc. Can't look up rn in elevator in mission gtg

[copper tendon]

ty ig this is harder than i thought it would be

[clear plume]

I can help cheese it after my mission if need be

[copper tendon]

you can cheese it?

[clear plume]

yes

at end event on Garden of Morr

5ish min

[copper tendon]

didnt know that was an option, im down

[soft ferry]

super_armor = carapace?

[clear plume]

think so

unsure

but captains are all flak

twins are cara head flak body unamored limbs

@copper tendon launching game, jsut need fatshark code, social menu then press E

[copper tendon]

Stepped away for a sec, should be back in 2 mins

[broken raft]

Any idea if the chem toxin goes through void shields btw (like bleed)

[clear plume]

idk

am not playtester

check kuli's guide

most DoTs do damage to captain if applied when no shield will still tick even if shield comes back

[broken raft]

Ah bet

Thanks

[warped basin]

wouldn't have believed you if my very next game wasn't this
matchmaking's being drunk, keeps giving me 30s (prob their first character) when my acc level is 350

[strange thunder]

idt the game matchmakes you for true levels

[muted pumice]

yes. Mauler also has a carapace head. It's why in some instances it's better to bodyshot them if you are running flak pen vs cara pen. Weapon specific though so, but you can look up if you're a nerd for stats.

[muted pumice]

probably due to havoc being offline and those regulars getting squished into mael again.

Played five auric mael this evening and every single one was 1-2 of us needing to get super sweaty to carry the rest.

I wish there was a way to see if some of these people have actually ever beaten an auric maelstrom.

let alone havoc.

if scum is as hard as reported then I'm expecting an absolute mess release week.

[craggy minnow]

Dlc class buyers when the ganger isnt invincible like arby

[stoic locust]

I am going to eat shit to random overheads and trash swings and I will like it

Rest of people though

[patent jasper]

laugh at their failures

[strange thunder]

the best defense is offense

[craggy minnow]

I should really not spend time gaming tomorrowv but i probably will

Ironically i have the day off but by all rights need to spend it doing research

If you've heard of a pribnow box hmu

[muted pumice]

Is there any way to reduce the damage taken from barrels? The majority of the damage I've taken in the past several missions was from barrels.

[patent jasper]

shoot them early yourself or stay clear from them

[smoky ember]

not me tho

stay safe yall

im just too cool for that

ainz u hate me

[trim solar]

hey all, I'm new to the game. I've only made an Ogryn character so far. Will I have to unlock the campaign with each new character I create?

[clear plume]

you get the option to skip

[muted pumice]

I was gonna say the same thing but I think they're talking about the new story stuff

tbh most of us oldies havent done it since it was added, so pretty sure it's optional at some point

[muted pumice]

or do you mean just the tutorial bit at the start?

[trim solar]

Yeah like you go through the story and it unlocks the armory and omnissiah as you go

[clear plume]

those are level unlocks iirc

for each character

[trim solar]

It says to beat terati.... something with a Roman numeral to use armory exchange and that stuff

[clear plume]

and is this your 1st character?

or one you just made

seems like you chose the tutorial on this class, so yes you will need to beat the campaign

if you skipped it, it should be level locked

[strange thunder]

you still have to unlock difficulties on each new character

[muted pumice]

oh yeah you need to do those and also the weapon level unlocks iirc. But tbh the shared currency lets you pretty immediately get a top gear with +XP curios. Takes like an evening of play to get to 30 on an alt.

[trim solar]

Yeah. I know I can do other missions but I want at least the comisary and armory exchange available when I start a new class

[muted pumice]

Downside is that Ogryn has no(?) shared weapons with other classes so you'll start masteries fresh.

[clear plume]

When you make another character you will get the campaign/tutorial promp, skip it and then the shops will just be character level locked

[trim solar]

Ah ok, that's cool. Thanks

[maiden path]

wait the masteries are account wide?

[patent jasper]

yea

[fervent relic]

Pretty sure the devs just flip a coin to decide what is account wide and what isn't

[lament parrot]

Hey, would anyone be willing to help with the "on overwatch" cheese? Just need a few people to let me die to fall damage and not rez me in a malice mission.

Would be much appreciated, happy to help with same or anything else in return.

[warped basin]

I don't play auric, I play damnation

[vocal nacelle]

then its normal

there's no playtime based matchmaking

doesnt matter if your modded level is 10K or 50, you still get paired up with anyone playing that difficulty

[coral relic]

no post yet about the changes so close to release?

[strange thunder]

p sure they just post patch notes at release

I think reginald read them in some video yesterday

[inland lichen]

How many hours before the patch drops?

[velvet dagger]

Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide out on sale

Anybody have an opinion on it?

[keen flume]

Good but might be jankier than in compared with VT2

[fierce pelican]

How can I possibly stop backend error from occuring? I bought the arbites class and I can't even create a character to play it

[inland lichen]

Any particular mods that are known to crash on startup after the most recent update?

[keen flume]

#1079236212239384597 message

[inland lichen]

No access.

[strange thunder]

darktide modders discord

[restive tartan]

Anyone experience crashing in havoc?

[inland lichen]

Yeah... Time for no mods for the next few days.

[thick acorn]

is there a bug right now with diffuclty seleciton?

my game is queueing for uprising when i selected auric

and going for auric when i swapped to uprising lmao

this is on the new section for the no mans land

[strange thunder]

weird, I didn't experience that

[thick acorn]

crazy cause i was queueing for uprising on the new separate maps and i switched to a new weapon to farm mastery

then i got queued into an auric game proably cause its my last queue, even though i changed it before getting into the new one

then i swapped to auric for the second map, only to be put in an uprising game

[rotund ermine]

Any chance Fatshark can implement Bonus Exp week?

Can it work?

[faint perch]

Why? Levelling is already easy

[shadow skiff]

Just not fun to most.

[faint perch]

playing the game is not fun for you?

[shadow skiff]

The leveling up part isn't. After 30, it becomes fun.

[faint perch]

i would bet money that most people do not feel the same way

[devout stratus]

you guys get backend errors too? i cant login

[shadow skiff]

And I can also bet many people hate the lvling and would love to skip to 30.

[faint perch]

leveling serves a function as a way of introducing players to mechanics and encouraging experimentation

[shadow skiff]

Having 30 points directly allows for it as well. Unless they are VERY new, most general things are shared between classes.

Well, mechanics.

All they get is a new DoT that's unique to them, but that can be as Soulblaze is for psyker.

[strange plover]

Same for my friend. What's your region?

[devout stratus]

HK, SEA

[strange plover]

Oh

So it seems it's not about region

[timid lake]

Mods are down?

can load any

[devout stratus]

dont play with mods right now

wait for the DML to update

in nexus

[polar forum]

temp fix is out

[polar forum]

see above

[leaden fjord]

Thankfully they let difficulty leveling be a lot easier

Or faster I guess

Dont have to play 7 hours to get auric

[glass fox]

dump stats for auto pistols and twin shivs?

[strange thunder]

mobility

[cloud adder]

why would that DLC be required, if that Hair comes with Deluxe edition (was was aquired)?

[void forge]

You own the deluxe edition?

If so idk why it's not working

[cloud adder]

ye

[silk spoke]

I wanted the deluxe version i bought the wrong option can I upgrade somewhere? or do i need to refund and repurchase?

[void forge]

There is a cosmetic upgrade

[silk spoke]

i cant find it

[void forge]

It's on the darktide store page

[silk spoke]

i see the arbites one

tyvm found it

[strange thunder]

it's a bug, if you go back to krall the options are there

[chrome solstice]

My game runs like shit and I don't know why. 9800x3d, 9070xt, 256G 6000mt ddr5, Windows 10. I updated the BIOS. Reinstalled chipset and graphics driver. Reinstalled Windows. Still getting only 6 fps on low settings, no ray tracing, no FSR

[cloud adder]

do the servers have issues atm?
Enemies floating around, talents in talent tree dont stick, same for weapon selections and such?!

[nocturne hinge]

so basically everything

[crimson scaffold]

Is anyone else’s game crashing when loading into a mission

[restive vale]

Hey guys could anyone help me with mod support?

Problem: I keep crashing when trying to launch game with mods.

---

[Script Error]: module 'scripts/main' not found:
no field package.preload['scripts/main']scripts/main.lua: cannot load incompatible bytecode

Info: I have both the Darktide Mod Loader and Vortex to manage my mods. I suspected i needed to update those so I downloaded BOTHthe manual update and the mod loader update today but still nothing is working. Also tried disabling all the mods within vortex and still crashes. I've also tried adding "- -" in the mod loader file to each mod and still crashes.

Am i missing something? Reinstall all these again? Not sure

[void forge]

Did you ask in the modding discord

[patent jasper]

dont run mods for now, a bunch of them are broken in the new update

[glacial compass]

@restive vale yeah, mods break after nearly update. need to wait for them to be updated to work with latest patch.

[restive vale]

I gotcha, thanks for the replies!

[modest swallow]

When’s arbs getting new stuff

[clear plume]

no

[open mortar]

Is everyone crashing at least once a game or is an AMD GPU thing?

[crimson scaffold]

I crash when loading into meat grinder or a mission

I’m basically stuck in the mourningstar

[waxen night]

Anyone getting Frame drops during matches? I assume its just performance hitches with the new patch but its pretty rough!

[thick acorn]

is there a way to prioritize weapon switching over all other inputs like vermintide?

currently pressing the weapon switch hotkey doesn't trigger until all your inputs are done and animations are completed

feels so weird coming from vermintide

[sturdy sandal]

I'm trying to build my loadouts again but for some reason I just can't get the loadout profiles to STICK, non-profile I can...but when you press "+" to create loadout profiles, everything resets and it just doesnt want to stick even when done again

[lost ferry]

There's a mod on Nexus called Guarantee Weapon Switch that solves that I believe, but that requires you be on PC and willing to mess around with modding.

[keen flume]

Something about why I hate the base game because of this

I am not sure how they managed to make it awful

Sometimes not responding with my clicks or just switching randomly

[thick acorn]

damn, maybe in 5 years fatshark can add this QoL change to the game

[coral relic]

i see some having H40 keys how? they dont even have any havoc completed yet

[patent jasper]

All cosmetic frames and titles are for every class

[keen flume]

I had few times today that I try to swap to my melee after try to shoot my ranged for a quick shot, it plays animation and fire but does not actually shoot the thing

Guarantee weapon switch, special action and ability activation need to be QoL features

[storm glen]

Im not tripping right, ive changed my keyboard and its still happening! So many times in darktide, seemingly at random, i have died or took a bunch of dmg because i press a button and nothing fucking happens. So many times ive pressed to button to swap weapons and nothing happens in stressful stations. Anyone else have this issue ?

[keen flume]

Literally discussed this above and other person mentioned it

It is most likely a vanilla game issue and been like this for a while

[storm glen]

Well im glad that its not my hardware then.

I would say that i hope they fix it, but its been 3 years lol. That shit is here to stay lol

[signal sleet]

Is there ANY way to see our old builds that got wiped in like a file or log somewhere? I lost around 25 unique builds for seemingly no reason at all. In the past at least it made sense since it only happened when that particular class changed

[tight obsidian]

Are mods broken rn?

[strange thunder]

check this @tight obsidian and the darktide modding discord

[fossil holly]

Can't you just skip a bit of the talent tree and get the stuff you want?

[south vessel]

if a friend queues at a higher difficulty than i have available, does it count extra towards the missions needed to move out of that original difficulty bracket

or does it enforce lowest difficulty

[acoustic kraken]

If i upgrade a gray weapon to gold when my character isnt fully leveled can i still max out that weapon to 500 when my character is fully leveled?

[patent jasper]

as long as the mastery level is high enough yea

[devout stratus]

im still getting backend error damn

[smoky ember]

it’s weird because i have never had a problem with that happening

1300 hours and i cant recall a time that i had a problem with it

i’m not discrediting people having the issue to clarify

i just think its weird i haven’t noticed it

[thick acorn]

is matchmaking down?

[surreal acorn]

I haven't played since they reworked the crafting system and even then it was a lot. Is there a channel or video or something that can help get me up to speed? I've played a lot of Vermintide and this is all a far cry from simple weapon rerolls, stats, and quick play

[fervent relic]

Yeah there's like a gorillion videos

And maybe 3 good ones, but that's how it goes

[surreal acorn]

well does anyone know where to acquire these 3 good ones, as someone who is returning after a lot of content has been released Im sure many players have simply adapted one change at a time but this is quite a lot for a returning one

[clear plume]

still need help?

[surreal acorn]

Im taking all i can get

[clear plume]

I can vc if you want

faster to show you and talk about it

since alot of videos dont go in depth or dont cover them

[surreal acorn]

im looking for something more structured

[true bone]

Typing it hear so it appears for those searching
I managed to fix my backend Issue by by just restarting steam
The game did not recognize that an update was in waiting so simply logging off steam fully refreshed my whole library and dugout which games needed updates

[potent mulch]

is there a way to update mods without having to download and replace things from my folders over and over

[kind aurora]

Sorry if people have heard this a million times by now
I'd really appreciate it if anyone who knows more about modding than I do to tell me what is going on. My mods were working fine yesterday and I installed the new mod loader but the game will just randomly crash mid game or if I ever open mod settings and it's actually driving me insane
This is all the info it gives me 💔

[clear plume]

the modding discord will have more help

I am pretty sure they have a list of broken/outdated mods

[kind aurora]

Oh thank you very much

[glad otter]

Any fixes to the backend error? Unable to play for hours now

[echo gyro]

is anyone else having the problem that the flashbomb on hive scum. my character throws them all at once on a single click. i got rid of fullauto mod and its still happening.

[clear plume]

Do you have the mod, gurenteed special/ability?

[echo gyro]

yeah i found out it was weapon swap

[exotic crater]

playing on linux (pop!) and am running into some issues; is there somewhere i could go for assistance?

(also yes, despite my name, i am a person, not a bot)

[rotund ermine]

is there a list of mods working and not working?

[thick acorn]

is it normal that veteran players in darktide on auric just run ahead leaving others behind?

bros are playing like they're speedrunning

im 4 days into the game playing auric and since i have 2k hours in vermintide playing mostly legend - cata i can hold my own but i don't know the maps by heart yet so i get lost sometimes

I've seen this behavior in vermintide before but not to this level

people are just rushing the map and ignoring teammates

crazy what a sprint button can do

[dense ruin]

Every class skill tree has been reset and then the skill save bug is even worse, what is going on?

[exotic crater]

no mods installed; just vanilla tide

[rotund ermine]

I mean I remember someone posted the list of mods not working and working

I'm wondering if the list is updated or not

[exotic crater]

ohhhh my b thought you were responding to me 😅

[craggy hearth]

Is the "Stimmed" penance bugged? Just spent an entire mission with full stacks of dependency and didn't get it.

[vocal nacelle]

Normally for vet? No

[velvet dagger]

There's a pinned post on the Darktide Modders Discord

[autumn osprey]

Did the steamdeck get completely unlooked at for this update? 2004/2014s, missions being aborted, etc. The layers of compatibility netcode is too much for fatshark I guess.

Proton 8/9/exp/hot all do this. I'm at my wits end. I didn't realize a class release was going to ruin my ability to play this game overnight.

If anyone has any solutions I'm all ears.

[full scroll]

is there a quicker way to empower from 30->500? or do i really just gotta sit there

[stoic locust]

Not buying tier 30 weapons

But otherwise

No

[clear plume]

Hold Q or wait till you are higher level to roll higher base weapons

[full scroll]

unfortunately, I've just recently learned that rolling for ideal weapon stats is much harder while low lvl AFTER I had already dropped an obscene amount of dockets doing so (thought it was just a bad night, did not realize my level affected it till I was done)

so me and my VERY expensive little baby knife are just gonna have to sit through it, I guess 😔

[full scroll]

phenomenal, thank you

[stoic locust]

Yeah I'm just gonna buy a good enough tac axe and run it for 30 levels

[full scroll]

had a few good enough options but "just buy one more" is lethal and I am weak LMAO

[last phoenix]

hey how to play with mods? i downloaded the new modloader and still get canceled out of game

[vocal nacelle]

Check your outdated mods

[languid jewel]

Just level to 30
With the trash u get and them level ur weapons.

Its low diff anyways so u dont need good weapons anyway

[full scroll]

I'm 30 elsewhere, just never really dipped out of it so the pre-30 experience is now a lil foreign to me again LOL

had a lot of extra stacks and figured I'd just get it out the way, now i know better (hopefully) 😭

[muted ether]

what's the difference between the Braced Autogun Mk II (Vraks) and Mk IV (Graia)? I can't see anything obvious testing

[vocal nacelle]

Damage, recoil, fire rate

[muted ether]

I see. Is there one that's more favored generally?

[keen flume]

depends for what type of build you going for

[muted ether]

trying it out on Desperado scum, mag dumping.

[warped basin]

did the game get a leak or something
twice now, my game hard stuttered for several seconds mid-match causing my DLSS to break, making all textures look like mud, refusing to update them until I restarted the game

[shadow skiff]

Chem grenades seem to not be optimised imo.

[zealous dome]

Agri 8 for chunk
Graia 4 for brrrrrrr

[brave breach]

Aight I need some help understanding why the swap in mentality, from vt2 to darktide, why no one runs the 5% crit chance stat on pretty much any weapon, I remember in vt2 the attack speed/crit chance were like must pick in like 90% of weapons. So what makes it bad in darktide

[dapper shard]

• no Swift Slaying reliance,
• some weapons have bad crit damage profiles, so crits are „nice” on them but not necessary
• damage perks are much stronger in DT than in VT2; even for just improving DPS rather than giving breakpoints

[pastel forge]

Yeah 5% crit chance is like nothing compared to an entire +25% damage boost against 2 armor types

[river plaza]

Can I transfer my save from Gamepass version to Steam version?

[vocal nacelle]

from what i remember no

but you can ask FS

#🎒support-issues

Got it, lemme try

[river plaza]

I cant really see a category for my request. Technical support is more for crashes and other bugs :/

[vocal nacelle]

still technical

Welp its paused till Jan 21st 2026

No more transfers till then 🥀🥀

Atp i might as well just start from scratch

[heavy skiff]

Anyone got the whenever I play hive scum and either I drop the supply stimms or throwing the chem tox I keep getting this weird sound bug and it making me deaf like asf. And idk how to fix it

[slim citrus]

what dis?

[strange thunder]

the campaign

[slim citrus]

i choose 2 skip it never noticed it had its own ui spot on the terminal

[strange thunder]

it's new

it was just a toggle key before I think

but it also houses the new 3 map campaign of the maps that were left out of the original campaign

rolling steel, excise vault, and the new no man's land

[languid jewel]

Guys is there a mod that lets me consecrate multiple weapons at once?

[balmy moat]

i think its straight to hadron, not absolutely sure

also not sure its updated or works

[polar forum]

Sounds like cheating to me

[polar forum]

if you're doing this for mastery, there's this mod

https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/395

but using it makes you a cheater

[cloud adder]

whats up with the current lag?
Loadouts not applying, game claims there are Talents left to spend, but they arent, is it something I can fix on my end, or is it the game?

[languid jewel]

Thx

[languid jewel]

No thank u i dont wanna be cheating

[languid jewel]

Sadly none of these seem to do what im looking for.

Is there nothing to prevent having to consencrate every weapon one by one?

[strange thunder]

you're looking for something to level grays to green so they can be sacrificed?

[polar forum]

I already posted the auto sacrifice mod above

I think he’s literally just looking for a bulk consecrate mod lol

[copper tendon]

is spamming ping a bad thing? ive had a few people complain but I have it bound to my mouse 1 since I am new and don't know what the specials look like that well so it helps to identify them easier

just wondering if I should swap it to a different button so its not getting pressed ig?

[clear plume]

Yes it is a bad thing

1: it's loud and blocks other noises

And this is a sound sensitive game

2: if you need help seeing what specials look like, the testing room has them all lined up

3: having tag on a easy to press button helps in highlighting important enemies in a horde

Like a trapper that is in the horde

You want to see where she is and if she is shooting

But if you spam it constantly then you don't get much value

I use tag to highlight important enemies like specials to know where they are for awhile

Most of the time I have an enemy highlighted

[copper tendon]

good to know, ill swap the keybind

[clear plume]

I use v

Personally

My thumb rests there

[shadow skiff]

You are likely to be blocked by people for being a disruption to their enjoyment. Think of a loud noise constantly going off, do you enjoy it? If not, then you get it. Pretty sure is why some games added an awful ping cooldown due to such.

[thick acorn]

do more difficult missions give higher rewards?

[clear plume]

Yes

3 variables to rewards on mission

4

1: quickplay bonus

2: map

3: modifiers on mission

4: difficulty

[long condor]

Persay that i as a lvl 20, craft a eviscerator, and since i saw some like builds it says to get a 8080808060 but persay i do get one etc it was like 200-280 item level and i empower it to 500.
Is it worse than crafting another one at lvl 30 with the exact same scenario where then i empower it to 500?
probably poorly explained but

[clear plume]

All weapons can get to power 500

Fully empowered yellow

But the stats on the right don't change

So you want to buy a weapon with the stats you want then upgrade it

[long condor]

i bought like grays until it came with the proper stat and then i started upgrading it

[clear plume]

Weapons have this on their stats

[15/80]

Left is current stat right is max if fully empowered

[clear plume]

Yes this is the way to craft a perfect weapon

[long condor]

yea but apparently before there used to be like a old way of crafting?

like

[clear plume]

It was terrible back in the day

[long condor]

so its fixed?

that doesnt exist?

[clear plume]

Yes

They removed old crafting

It's so easy now

Way too easy imo

I can't gamble

[long condor]

so technically as a lvl 27 i have the "best" weapon for the build im doing if it matches

[clear plume]

Yup

[long condor]

and all i have to do is empower it

over and over

[clear plume]

I'd wait till I have level 30 because buying weapons then have a higher chance to have better stats

[long condor]

yea but

okay

hold

[clear plume]

But if you have a grey with the stats you want

Go for it

[long condor]

lets say this weapon is already i already crafted it already consecrated, refined and blessed it

the ONLY thing that is not like maxed out is the empowered

[clear plume]

Nothing will change besides the stats on the left

[long condor]

but then at max it will be 80 80 etc right?

[clear plume]

Yes

[long condor]

so lets say my weapon at its max could "compare" to urs that u obtained at a higher level

[clear plume]

My number on the left will be higher with the rng weighted to have only 1 stat 60

Only difference

[long condor]

so both weapons at max mine will be weaker?

like i have a 80/80/80/80/60 weapon like gray

[clear plume]

They will be the same just cost less resources to max them out

[long condor]

okay

so i technically didnt "waste" my materials right?

[clear plume]

Only a little

But it's fine

[long condor]

i just wanted to min max as i was levelling

[clear plume]

Let me type out an example

[long condor]

and then i was asking chatgpt and he was giving me like oh, a nat 380 will alwas be better

[clear plume]

I buy a weapon under leveled (less then 30). The grey weapon has the stats I want, 80's in all but mobility at 60. The total empowerment of the grey weapon will be lower then one I buy at max level. So when I go to the shrine and empower it I will need to empower it more times since the stats on the left are lower

Does this make sense?

[long condor]

so let me see if i get it

the only thing that changes between both weapons like one under 30 and one above 30

is that the weapon below 30 is way less maximized so it will require more materials to get it to the cap

[clear plume]

Correct

[long condor]

i see

[clear plume]

Under leveled weapons will need like 15 empowers

While one rolled at max only needs like 10

[long condor]

okay i see yea i

i havent been having fun playing for mats

because this goes for both my gun and weapon

[clear plume]

It's rough leveling

Sadly

[long condor]

ALSO

persay

the same thing goes to curios

for this build i did read it requires like a 500 empwoered weapon with 1 wound whatever that is

i found a 270 blue with 1 wound

[clear plume]

The higher the player level the higher chance the curio is higher base stats

But wound curios don't benefit from that system

Since they only roll as +1

So there is no bad or good wound curio

There is only 1 type

The color you get them is also rng

[long condor]

but lets say u have a 500 curio with ur stats

could i just get a 270 curio cosnecrate it and refine it to the same stats?

[clear plume]

Curio power rating don't mean anything

They don't get empowered

[long condor]

no i mean sorry i mean perks

[clear plume]

Ahhh

Yes even a low rating curio can have all tier 4 perks

Any curio can have max perks

Only thing that matters is the main stat

[long condor]

so the difference is purely in a cosmetical number?

[clear plume]

Yes

[long condor]

because lets say u have a 500 with 1 wound

i have a 270 with 1 wound

it will perform the literal same

[clear plume]

Would be same curio

Yup

[long condor]

then why does it

why the number then

[clear plume]

A relic of the past

They haven't updated curios in like 3 years

[long condor]

wait hold on can i send u the ss in dms to just double check

[clear plume]

Sure

[thick acorn]

for plasteel and diamantine is it also the same or just static per map?

[clear plume]

I am unsure about the material pickups around the map

But those 4 scale exp/materials at mission end

[hidden adder]

im getting error code 9999 when trying to play with a new player, but we can both queue for games separately, just bugs out when hes in a party

[warped basin]

why the fuck is it so hard to beat malice with levels 15-20 when I did it on all my prev characters just fine

[keen flume]

randoms

thats the only answer

[warped basin]

everyone ends up dying and I don't have the talents or gear to clutch

so fucking annoying

[keen flume]

there you go lmao

As I thought it was randoms

I legit just had an arbites just killing me on the open as i tried to shove a burster away and shot it

[warped basin]

and the players there who ARE level 30 are still in malice for good reason, as I just saw today, jesus christ

[keen flume]

My guess is the difficulty unlock

But malice?

[maiden path]

i also struggle in malice because i stray away from the group to collect loot 🙂

[keen flume]

Currently at level 15, playing heresy is good for me only problem is the gear progression and teammates worst of all

[astral cave]

is there any reason why my vysnc setting refuses to stay enabled on relaunch??

[glad barn]

anyone else having issues with crashing to desktop when trying to create a loadout?

[fervent relic]

Modded?

[glad barn]

I run some mods yeah

but i even disabled all my mods and get same issue, even after verifying files

[sonic osprey]

Q) Newbie here. Is there a guide that lists stat priorities for all the weapons?

[patent jasper]

the stats you should be dumping are mobility, defenses and collateral

they generally provide the least difference between 60% and 80%

[nimble narwhal]

is hive scum better than zealot

or they equal

and what’s the best class

[nocturne hinge]

they fix mods yet?

[sonic osprey]

Q) For Curios, does it make sense to stack "20% dmg reduction (Gunners) "?

[polar forum]

Yes I usually take two

[warm axle]

is the only way to change language on pc outside the game?
or is there a language option i cant seem to find

[south heart]

anyone know how to get the stimmed, enhanced, and alchemist penances for hive scum? I know it's related to the stimms and such but I can't seem to get any progress on it, I think I might be doing it wrong not really sure.

[vocal nacelle]

Depends on the situation

[patent jasper]

enhanced - regenerate toughness via coherency with the top left branch of stim
stimmed - stay at 3 stacks for duration (not just one game) or 4 if you take the node that reduces stack timer
alchemist - same thing but longer

[solid shoal]

What "magics" bypass armored enemies?

On psyker

[lost ferry]

I spent over 70k Melkbucks™ this morning on Scum. Didn't get a single roll worth keeping from the man himself, but it let me max out the masteries on 3 weapons and seriously boost several others, then got my ideal rolls within 5 rolls each on Brunt anyway lmao

I am also entirely out of Diamantine again and cannot wait for the event tomorrow as a result

[vocal nacelle]

the blitz?

or the staff

you can also use red stimm

[vocal nacelle]

play one havoc and wait for the weekly cache

[faint hazel]

Hi I need help getting Psyker Cliffhanger penance 😐 I’ve watched guides, read posts, and played hours and hours trying to get an opportunity and I’m going mad

[obsidian ledge]

anyone know how to fix the infinite black loading screen of doom on start up?

[south heart]

yeah i figured out enhanced, still figuring out the other 2, does the cartel stimm count as as stimm

[patent jasper]

yea

[south heart]

I see

I got 180 seconds somehow, not sure what I did to proc it

[maiden path]

for masteries, do i get more exp if i use that weapon in the mission or na?

[patent jasper]

only need to have it equipped

can have a grey gun you never use the entire lvl and it'll get the same xp as if you used it entire time

[maiden path]

ty!

[faint perch]

"they" would be the bot developers, so case by case. I recommend checking out the darktide modding discord. They have a pinned list of mods and their current state. Nexus hub also can show updated mods

[faint perch]

From those 2 zealot has more survivability but hive scum is more fun

[prisma glade]

Anyone know if the mortis trials maps rotate or something? Been trying to get the penance for playing on three maps, but I for the life of me cannot get Rectitude to appear.

[maiden path]

is the scoreboard mod updated?

[iron helm]

Is Cleave how wide your melee swings are or is that something else?

[vocal nacelle]

simple explanation is cleave is how many enemy you hit in a single swing

different enemies have hit mass

[iron helm]

I'm using shivs (Melee Hive Scum build) or should I just get something else.

Idk if cleave is necessary for Shivs

[vocal nacelle]

just try everything first

hivescum build is all over the place rn

havent tried shiv, only crowbar and bonesaw

[regal topaz]

i legit just want bonesaw

idc about the other ones

lmao

[remote ridge]

what traits should i use on power falchion

[languid jewel]

Its nice to have yeah

Helps with poxwalker hordes

[keen flume]

If you quite plenty of attack speed buffs it wont be too necessary

But I really only bring cleave from rampage

[keen meteor]

oh god wait why is there an update
no please they cant be nerfing poison bomb boxes i havent even played it yet nooooooo

[warped basin]

frames back now please, what setting do I need to change

doing Karnak twins on 20 fps is suboptimal

[umbral pond]

I assume Groaners and Poxwalkers are the basic horde enemies?

[vocal nacelle]

Are you asking for weapon perk?

[umbral pond]

yeah

for a Slab Shield, cause that's really all I swing it at

[vocal nacelle]

Put flak

[strange thunder]

Shield is flak/unyield and cara

[vocal nacelle]

Groaner and poxwalker dies fast

[umbral pond]

yeah fair

[strange thunder]

Bromentum and skullcrusher

[umbral pond]

should I have Block Efficiency on it?

[strange thunder]

never

[vocal nacelle]

you will worry about bruiser

[strange thunder]

defense should be 60

[vocal nacelle]

ironically best shield setup is the most offensive one

full damage

[strange thunder]

defensive blessings are bait

same with block talents usually

[umbral pond]

then what do I put on muh shieldz

[vocal nacelle]

and ogryn looked like a "tank", but he's more like a frontline DPS

[strange thunder]

I gave you all in messages above

[vocal nacelle]

for new player

when you arent struggling with unarmoured anymore

[strange thunder]

what are you hitting unarmored with

[umbral pond]

interesting aight

[strange thunder]

also it's all heavy attacks

[umbral pond]

while I'm here, what do I slap on a Twin Stubber (Because obviously I'm going for maximum big weapon smash)

[vocal nacelle]

dregs

[umbral pond]

??

I hit them with whatever I happen to have equipped

[vocal nacelle]

no he's asking me

[umbral pond]

so either my club and shield, or if they're far away gun them down

ah

[vocal nacelle]

fast explanation is the yellow robed enemies called dregs they are mostly unarmoured

the black armor called scab they are mostly flak/ carapace

dreg

[umbral pond]

oki

[vocal nacelle]

scab

[umbral pond]

I'm not gonna lie, both of these are just "Thing to shoot"

[vocal nacelle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[umbral pond]

I can not tell apart the small melee boys as Ogryn
I probably would notice a difference on any other class

[vocal nacelle]

it depends on the build

[umbral pond]

why can't I post an image

[vocal nacelle]

no red role

[umbral pond]

I wanna show off a Shield I found

meh whatever

it's got the 60 defense

[vocal nacelle]

maybe this for starter

[umbral pond]

aight thanks

anyway, is it correct to put every single perk and blessing and crap on my trinkets into toughness and health XD

[pastel forge]

You want mostly toughness on your curios

Sometimes hp if the class needs it to not be one tapped by poxbursters on high havocs

[vocal nacelle]

yes

[umbral pond]

fuck yeah

so I can still be tanky Ogryn man with shield and 500 total HP

[vocal nacelle]

pick this talent, most ogryn build use this as a base

[onyx knot]

can someone explain how dodge angle works

[pastel forge]

I think its that thing where sprinting somewhat parallel to enemy shots makes you automatically dodge

So this would make the angle this can happen more forgiving while also removing the stamina requirement

[onyx knot]

ok gotcha looks like this be very handy

[pastel forge]

Idk between desperado and sprint sliding this seems pretty niche

[onyx knot]

[last apex]

hello i would like to ask, i updated my mod loader and mod framework but my mods dont work, does anyone know why?

[warped basin]

mods themselves also need updating, ask in the mod discord
I usually just wait for a week or two until everything gets updated

[last apex]

yeah okay thanks

[rancid raft]

What does the purple chem on the bonesaw do?

I have tried it on some enemies and can’t tell if it’s doing anything to them

[patent jasper]

Purple applies brittleness to enemies on hit

basically just makes armor less effective

[strange thunder]

it's also an enemy debuff, so other players also do more damage

compared to rending which only affects you

[rancid raft]

Okay, thanks

[lament parrot]

Anyone have any ideas on fixing campaign progress?

It's telling me I can't do mission 10 until I do mission 8, but Ive done mission 8 about 4 times fully from the lobby to the end

[rose hinge]

who told me that suppression doesn't effect non ironsights weapons

that's just not correct and it cost me the round today because my cowboy revolver was swinging all over the place

[remote ridge]

how do i get higher power curios

[clear plume]

Depends on how you are getting them

Also curio power doesn't change

1: mission rewards at end of mission, the higher the difficulty the higher the power. 2: buying from brunt's hourly shop, I am unsure how this shop scales but being higher level probably helps. 3: gambling at Melks, same a brunt, being higher level raises the average power drop

[hoary turret]

Anyone gotten mods like numeric UI to work yet?

[clear plume]

its not updated yet, if you really need it, there is probably a temp fix somewhere in the modding discord

[signal flume]

Not sure if here is the correct chat exactly. But i've got an issue with the game eating up all of my ram to the point of crashing after a mission.
I'm sitting on 32GB ram so it's kind of surprising. I know the game had a similiar issue when it came out due to i thinka memory leak.
Do we know if it has come back or something?

[gloomy osprey]

Anyone got a good zealot build

[maiden path]

yeah tehres definitely memory leak, i don't crash after every mission but maybe 5 or something and i get the error ran out of memory

could also be my mods tho 🤷🏿‍♂️

[signal flume]

I managed to find a launch command from a couple of days ago. it solved the issue of of crashing directly after a mission and able to load into the hub again. But it now crashes again if i try to start a new mission

[maiden path]

😩

[warped basin]

what's going to take less time trying to get a character to 30
winning on malice or losing on heresy

[fervent relic]

Winning on malice

[warped basin]

how many % do you actually get for losing, I never cared about it but now I do a little bit

[patent jasper]

if you want to spam lose, go do spam losing on auric twins

[strange thunder]

I mean you want to win on difficulties early on to unlock up to auric

nothing is worse being 30+ and having to slog through the lower difficulties

[warped basin]

repeatedly wiping because new players can't handle the stepup of heresy is worse

[daring goblet]

Evening, joined since someone recommended coming here for help with my penances

Trying to get the zealot ones, bonk a sniper with a stun grenade and 40 meters and get a chastises the wicked melee charge kill on a mutant

Idk why the penances for the basic low tier cosmetics are such a pain or tedious as Hell

Like the veteran resupply one, that needs a serious requirement nerf

[warped basin]

cosmetics aren't required for gameplay, nobody's forcing you to do them if you don't want to

[daring goblet]

I know, just ya'know I like to kill heretics in style

Plus lot of the ones I want are locked behind penances

[strange thunder]

sniper is just aiming high to get the range needed

[daring goblet]

It's also getting one at a distance to begin with, doesn't help they die before I get a chance

[strange thunder]

can check the convo there for more info

[daring goblet]

Would help if I knew their HP, though I guess I could probably just run them in circles till I do get that kill

Alright

[warm axle]

do we know how many points the shrines give towards the event

[fervent relic]

Install the healthbar mod

[strange thunder]

just use a weapon that's strong and charge a heavy attack

[warped basin]

idk you get plenty other cosmetics just from playing normally, I got 380h and still didn't do either of those zealot penances

[daring goblet]

I forgot about mods...

[fervent relic]

I genuinely cannot play the game without them anymore

[daring goblet]

I'm also a cosmetic nut

[strange thunder]

but ye they've stopped making penances for classes be reliant on chance

like all of arbites and hive scum is just do x y times

[daring goblet]

Well that's good to know, not that I can afford either right now

[warped basin]

I would play the game without mods if Fatshark got their shit together and at least would fix sound

[zinc dirge]

are mods currently not working? Having issues getting them to populate

[daring goblet]

What's up with the sounds?

[strange thunder]

you need to update DMF and DML at least

and there's a lot of broken ones

the modder's discord has a full list

[zinc dirge]

Had them working yesterday just fine :/

Its saying they are still up to date

[daring goblet]

I remember there's a mod that added weapon customisation, why that isn't in the base game is beyond me though sadly that's broke

[strange thunder]

did you patch it again

they released a patch today so

[daring goblet]

Well undergoing an overhaul from the ground up

[zinc dirge]

Ok, i'll dbl check. Thanks

[warped basin]

the game will straight up not play some important sounds if there are too many or they come from a weird angle (around a corner etc) sometimes
including things like burster ticking or a dog running
so I have visual directional HUD markers for all the specialists

[daring goblet]

Ah ok, happens to me though that's cause it just barely runs

Game lags, all goes quiet, then suddenly I'm hearing everything at once though that's very rare

[fervent relic]

That's just your pc

[daring goblet]

That's what I said

Barely runs

I wish I had a better rig...

[strange thunder]

it might be an engine problem, like they're using a real old one

[daring goblet]

Though seems the updates made the game run worse

Got this bloody stutter back which I didn't have two updates ago

[final condor]

How does aggro work in this game? Because I feel like I’m every fight I see everything targtting me first, gunners, mutants, ragers will run past my team after me, it’s so consistent

[daring goblet]

You can say that again, minibosses, bombers, mutants they'll run past the whole group in front of them to focus me, even if I haven't attacked them

Though I also have mutants or something sprint past me when I'm in front

A proper aggro mechanic would be nice besides whatever the Hell is going on in the background

[strange thunder]

Generally, there are multiple weight factors (e.g. distance, number of occupied slots, being disabled, being targeted by a monster, etc) that are used during combat to calculate the score which determines the enemy target selection of player units.

[daring goblet]

How do you do that side line effect on posts?

[strange thunder]

it's >

[patent jasper]

just insert a > then a space

-# you can make it tiny doing -# too

[daring goblet]

test

-# test

Nice thanks

[inland lichen]

What's the lowest difficulty grimoires can spawn in?

[prisma glade]

Uprising, just gotta look for the modifier.

[inland lichen]

brb, going to filter out the folk coming in from the free weekend.

[acoustic kraken]

Does strength affect guns?

[patent jasper]

some do, some dont, just ask here specifically

[acoustic kraken]

Hive scum smg's

[patent jasper]

i meant like talents,

all guns are affected by any strength that affects ranged

but not all strength applications affect ranged

[potent mulch]

can somebody help me with mods?

[patent jasper]

#📌communities message

those fellas can

[agile rampart]

For the love of god

Where is the last corpse I have to scan on the second mission

[vocal nacelle]

you can hold the scanner to know the direction

[agile rampart]

Yes, except it's telling me to go somewher I can't go.

We finally found it, but by luck. Thanks tho

[vocal nacelle]

if its hab drekyo, the scan object always near the servitor skull

[normal flame]

is there any good info on how threat works? ive looked around and havent found any good answers

[rose hinge]

does exec stance change reconlas' dps at all

[stoic locust]

Uhhh

Yeah

It provides a damage buff

[rose hinge]

okay i meant significantly, sorry

ok it does but not for the super fast one everyone loves

[thick acorn]

what's the easiest yellow title to get?

[vocal nacelle]

all? will get it eventually

[thick acorn]

auric seems to be referring to two things in this game

auric mission board for the time limted ones, and the difficulty level

which specific "auric" is this referring to? maelstrom missions on the mission board, or auric difficulty level (cataclysm)?

[stoic locust]

Auric maelstorms

Maelstorms only appear in heresy or auric

[thick acorn]

yay, 4 more

[keen flume]

biggest challenge is not you staying alive but having competent and brained teammates

[thick acorn]

two kept falling down but we had a chad arbites that carried

[keen flume]

only because arbites is down easy to play

[cloud adder]

Is there any recommended amount for the Setting "Worker Threads"?

[thorn coyote]

Is it me, or are the enemies in the event tougher than outside it?

[mossy crane]

Hmm i don't dodge slide much but eh what exactly it helps in doing ? Saw ppl saying dodge slide should be used more.

I mostly just dodge and block

[vocal nacelle]

more distance if you want to avoid poxburster explosion

certain weapon also have less dodge distance , mostly 2 handed or ogryn weapon

[thick acorn]

what the hell is mission aborted due to unexpected error

no reconnection, no record of the game

[vocal nacelle]

Hivescum or psyker can cause that

[thick acorn]

great, im a psyker with 3 hive scum

[velvet dagger]

6 seems to work

9 is a bit too much for most PCs

or well, GPUs

[dense jasper]

is there a way to turn off those emperors duty things taking up half the screen during a mission?

[quaint jacinth]

i've returned to the game after several year hiatus
what are the special assignments i see in the mission select area? how do they work and what are they for, do they unlock something?

[keen flume]

They are story campaigns

[quaint jacinth]

is it seperate from the main story?

[dense jasper]

pennances
thats what it was

[vocal nacelle]

no

[keen flume]

They are chronological order with the timeline of the story

[dense jasper]

oh, sadge

[quaint jacinth]

it shows me 17/20 but when i open it up it's all uncompleted

[keen flume]

Are they locked?

[quaint jacinth]

i think they are, im not sure

[keen flume]

The other 3 missions are the new added 53rd campaign with this update

Campaigns don't really give anything to the player besides more narrative and lore explanation with the story

[quaint jacinth]

i see

another question about the difficulty

i can only pick the first one uprising*

[keen flume]

The difficulty is no longer unlocked through character leveling up

Now the way it works, you are require to complete several missions of the respective difficulty you have to unlock next one

[quaint jacinth]

i have the border for completion all missions on damnation difficulty and the game forces me to start from the first one 😄

kinda silly

[keen flume]

This works on every new character you create which becomes quite grindy and time consuming

[quaint jacinth]

have they changed how difficulties work too?

[vocal nacelle]

wdym

there's one , sedition got deleted

damnation/auric director got upgraded, kinda

[quaint jacinth]

is that just a name change

i went into a game with a friend and he was on a cnew character and it felt a bit more difficult that i remember for the second difficulty

[vocal nacelle]

nope

[quaint jacinth]

i remembered the first two difficulties were pretty braindead easy so i was surprised he was struggling very hard

[vocal nacelle]

Before : sedition -> uprising -> malice -> heresy -> damnation -> auric
After : uprising -> malice -> heresy -> damnation -> auric

[vocal nacelle]

current 2nd difficulty is malice, training wheels off

[quaint jacinth]

what is the shrine penitentax and what is that number that keeps going up in the top right

[zealous dome]

It's Hestia's

[quaint jacinth]

and what are they for?

[warped basin]

Esc - Penances

[ashen lintel]

Guys are the servers off or am I just locked out of the game I keep getting the message of “ the response from fatshark servers seems to be slow” can’t even find a fix for console
If anyone can help please let me know

[quaint jacinth]

yes that takes me to the thing, but that doesn't tell me what it is

[warped basin]

thought it was self-explanatory but maybe it was just immedialy obvious to me
do stuff penances tell you to, get cosmetics or points that turn into cosmetics

[vocal nacelle]

ingame achievement / challenge

[umbral pond]

differences between the Catachan sword marks?

[dapper shard]

Movesets, as in what light and heavy attacks they have, and chain into

[umbral pond]

yeah I know
which is good for wot

[dapper shard]

Mk1 arguably is the only one that’s „unusable” due to its very one-sided attack patterns/lack of single target attacks bar riposte and chaining into an overhead heavy attack from push, but between Mk7 and Mk4 the only real differences is movesets

So just get one and test in Psykhanium whichever you will like more

[versed trail]

how do more reliably get +3 stamina curios?

Over all my classes i've only found a single one this far

[keen oracle]

Check Brunt every time the shop resets (hourly iirc) and spam buy curios from Melk

That's it

Then just patience

[versed trail]

😭

[storm glen]

Anyone finding that darktide runs a tad bit worse than it did before?>

[little coyote]

kind of, the toxin effects seem to tank the fps when they appear en masse

[storm glen]

I have a just above mid range PC so maybe it is those that are doing it.

[mental talon]

why are enemies hitting thru my toughness?

[vocal nacelle]

Your toughness not at 100 % melee hit will bleed through

[mental talon]

wow that ruins the game completely for me

[keen flume]

And thats why you are encouraged to keep on blocking, pushing and dodge

[polar forum]

just git gud

[mental talon]

im amazing in fact

its js hive scum has a singular toughness regen talent

so it's buns

and zero modifiers for toughness damage reduc

im realizing

[keen flume]

Scum has barely any damage reduction talents due his heavy reliance on movement and dodges

Gotta crack your reaction times and keep moving

[river temple]

wtfudge is this thing below gold?

its paid currency isnt it? I have a strong feeling >.>

[mental talon]

nope, those are SIre Melk's currency

if you do certain tasks, for example get grimoires in a mission or kill enough of a certain enemy type you get those

[river temple]

[minor crane]

just encountered a very annoying bug. got to the end of Dark Communion, killed all the sorcerer guys maintaining the barrier and it stayed up. is it a known issue or a one-off?

[void forge]

It's a new bug with the event I think, because the event also has cultists at the shrines of atonement

[autumn osprey]

Every time I close the game on Fedora it will behave wildly on the next load unless I validate this one file. Every time. Started happening after Hive Scum came out.

[daring goblet]

Any good maps for the two zealot penances, bonk a sniper with a stun grenade at 40 meters and kill a mutant with a chastise the wicked charge?

I just need teammates that won't gun them down instantly, could probably get them done easy I mean I just need a long map for snipers and a weakened mutant

Probably on malice if snipers spawn on that? I need to line up a throw on snipers without being shot or stabbed to pieces

[olive geyser]

hey guys, anyone got a good list of classbuilds they could hook me up with? Havent played since february so I have to get used to the new reworks theyve done but all my loadouts are reset and those builds arent what they used to be. if anyone can help so I can hit the ground running again it would be great

[mental talon]

maybe the one where you gotta get the script thing? idk the name tho

with all the scanning

library-type map

i think it's the Archivum Sycorax one? if not, the newly added mission has pretty big battlefields

Rolling Steel might also be decent, the train one

[smoky ember]

chasm logistratum, the map where you get ammo canisters from the trains, usually a sniper or 2 will spawn in the end event, and it’s easy to get it

just remember to tag the sniper to see the distance, hold down the grenade so you can see the throwing arc

also also the penance only depends on how far away you are from the grenade when it detonates, so you can throw the grenade and then run in the opposite direction to help ensure it

and for the killing a mutant with chastise, either the base ability that you start with, or fury of the faithful both work, thunder hammer is usually the easiest to get it with, make sure you hit the mutant with the thunder hammer during the charge itself

[chrome vapor]

will fatshark ever host on better servers or sum? i tried every workaround i could and im still running into rubberbanding issues + disconnects on the wazoo, regardless of low/higher ping servers

[rose hinge]

okay what am I supposed to do when there are two poxbursters coming at me, and one jumps right after I push the first one

/gen

[clear plume]

its been this way for years, the downside of swapping to server base after VT peer to peer

[chrome vapor]

same thing happens on VT2 for me as well, just tide games in general

[clear plume]

I dont think it will change

[rose hinge]

is that literally it? seems like a massive oversight

[chrome vapor]

i see, so the solution is uninstall all along this is so sad

[clear plume]

up to you, I was able to ignore the server instability by installing solo mod, which puts it in offline

[rose hinge]

its such a cruel twist of fate that the most annoying enemy in the game is by orders of magnitude also the most jank

[chrome vapor]

i ran into a pseudo auric mael solo coz i think the map select reset by the time my teammates left the soon they got downed, i got about 70% done in the mission with desperado scum and i had fun 💀

[clear plume]

Solo is very fun

[chrome vapor]

kiting like a true gunslinger main from KF2, but i cant solo 💀 not that based yet

the second i see a flamer my eyes cant shoot

auric maels can be solo'd, not sure how a h40 run would be

as in, no bots*

[clear plume]

I did it

was fun

[chrome vapor]

which class? if it was ranged vet thats like, nightmare diff or sm 💀

[clear plume]

[chrome vapor]

would be really shocked if it was a vet soloing h40 with a lasgun and the good ol' shovel

just a regular guy/gal in the AM, casually out on a stroll

[void forge]

Vigil station also has a good spot for that penance, the bridge leading to the elevator

There is one of those stand and fight objectives there while the elevator descends too so you will spend some time there anyway

[rancid spindle]

anyone know what the best way to level up weapons now? green weapons dont seem to be the trick anymore, sacrificing weapons i mean - for hive scum mostly

[rancid raft]

Somebody correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe you get more exp for sacrificing higher power weapons.

so if your hive scum isn’t max level, you will get lower power weapons, and therefore less exp for sacrificing those weapons compared to trying the same trick on a max level character.

If your hive scum is max level and you’re still getting less exp, then I’m not sure.

[rancid spindle]

oh well im level 1, was just trying to see if i could buy a lot upgrade then sacrifice, but htanks for the info! that makes a lot more sense, i should probably level it first

[ashen granite]

I have a question about shotguns. Are the alt fire on them random from shotgun to shotgun? I have some combat shotguns with a mix of spread and slug between the 3 marks and another that has fire shells on a mark. Same with the exterminator for the arbiter. I have one with both marks as brittle and one with brittle and electric between the two marks.

Is that intended? I had thought it was always the same alt fire on each shotgun

[patent jasper]

its always the same alt fire on the same mark

just different special ammo on different marks

like slug is always agrippina combat shotgun

[ashen granite]

That's what I thought

And I think I found the issue

The game wasn't loading the switch in mark so I was switching it to like agrippina and it was still showing fire shells instead of slug

Everything makes sense again lol

Thank you for the help

[dense tulip]

in this particular situation I'd try to either position myself to the side to shorten the distance between the bursters which would hopefully allow to push both of them and do a double dodge back, or try shooting them before they get close to me. Or retreat back to get better positioning. If you don't have any of those options, it's 99% chance you had bad positioning in the first place. And 1% just bullshit that you didn't have any way of countering

[rose hinge]

first one is pretty smart

shooting bursters seems to always end poorly not bc its a bad idea but bc most people's instinct is to shove them and so there's usually someone trying to do that

[strange thunder]

maelstroms sometimes have sniper modifiers

higher difficulties in general are your best bet

[patent jasper]

heresy and auric have an extra mission on the board that rotates special modifiers (example below)

[civic pine]

the "X/X%" stats on weapons are only the potential stat caps and not what they'll actually reach when you get them to 500, right?

[clear plume]

Left is current stat

right is max stat when fully empowered

[civic pine]

so mobility will increase +31% in 12 empowers?

[clear plume]

yes

[civic pine]

oh, okay thanks. I thought it was only a potential cap and not necessarily what you'd get

[cedar cosmos]

Is Archivum Sycorax removed from the game? I don't think I've played this map in a year! My friend literally just mentioned he's never done it for auric, it's his last one. I forgot this map even existed???

[sonic osprey]

Q) Is this a good roll? I am playing Zealot (just hit 30)

[patent jasper]

yea just gotta empower and consecrate it now

[vocal nacelle]

you can use the campaign menu and just play on that

[deep sleet]

Can someone explain the range weapon stat for me

[vocal nacelle]

which one

[deep sleet]

Like on the twin linked stubber and ripper gun

[patent jasper]

If you hit inspect and then hover over ranged it does show you what it does

but ranged is basically just dmg fall off

[deep sleet]

Im debating on swapping my weapons to prioritize range over ammo

[vocal nacelle]

dump stat is collateral on both

[slate bridge]

Hey hey, I'm not sure where to ask this so sorry if this is the wrong chat

Is it against the rules/bannable to use a clicking macro? Rapid fire single shot weapons start to hurt my finger after awhile and I was wondering if I'd get in trouble for making some kinda macro to auto fire by holding down M1.

Thanks in advance for any answers!

[stoic locust]

Single input macros like the mod Full Auto are fine, but anything that does 2 or more inputs (light attack -> block cancel or QQ as example) isn't generally allowed

[slate bridge]

Thanks!

[deep sleet]

That feels wrong

[vocal nacelle]

because the Collateral is not the ranged weapon cleave, it affect how strong your bullets when hitting the enemies knocking them down

actually you can dump ammo on ripper gun

because you can make use of blaze away and cavalcade blessing efficiently

[shadow skiff]

You want 66% ammo on ripper.

[vocal nacelle]

min max yes, if you are lazy just go 60%

[limber crest]

doing the campaign/story on my ganger, 10 is locked and states i need to complete BoT IX to access the mission. i've done 9 twice and it hasnt' unlocked. am i missing something or is this a known bug?

[vocal nacelle]

you can skip the campaign if you pay 50K at the barber

[limber crest]

works for me. ty!

[vocal nacelle]

this is not your first character yes?

doesnt work if this is your first character

[limber crest]

yeah i've got everything else 30'd. just miss clicked while making this character and thought why not. but this wont progress so i've lost interest. lol

[thick acorn]

why does my shredder autopistol matery keep resetting

[deep sleet]

btw is range a hard dropoff like 30-60-90 meters or does it drop the damage off gradually the further away the target is?

[vocal nacelle]

there's "near" and "far"

shooting above 32 meter deal less damage

[lime cargo]

What's sprint dodge?

[faint perch]

Isn't that when you sprint at a particular angle to gunners and won't get hit?

Usually only works if you have stamina

[lime cargo]

400 hours in and I didn't know

I think I remember it being explained in the tutorial too now that I think about it lol

https://tenor.com/view/in-one-ear-and-out-the-other-michael-kupris-become-the-knight-i'm-not-listening-i-don't-care-what-you-have-to-say-gif-15670787125689503895

[shadow skiff]

Very poorly explained imo, but yeah.

[lime cargo]

Does the 10% experience perk on curios increase mastery exp?

[clear plume]

no

[lime cargo]

Thanks, taking them off now. lol

Just hit 30 on scum

[fathom osprey]

seen a thing say death korps stuff is on sale... where is that?

shop has nothing on my end

[vocal nacelle]

alice NPC

[balmy moat]

commodore vestures, featured page 2

and not on sale, for sale

[velvet dagger]

Chocob exploits this to dodge close with gunners

If you look perpendicular to the gunner and dodge towards them, you can dodge straight through all their shots while closing the distance

useful if you're almost at them, but not fully on

[faint perch]

I know what I'm going to be practicing when I get home. Many thanks

[velvet dagger]

just to reiterate, it's only useful when you want to close those last few meters, and also requires you to have kited the horde out of the way

if there's an infected in the way, you're going to get stopped and hit
plus, you won't be able to push them out of the way because you'll be looking sideways

tldr, go watch Chocob

you have to use it with good horde management, positioning, and kiting to really use it

[faint perch]

I see it as a fun way to say hi to lone gunners or snipers

[velvet dagger]

yeah, it helps in a pinch

[tame quiver]

which is generally better between cleaver and rend

[vocal nacelle]

on what weapon

[still gyro]

can't playing darktide error 2014

[jade herald]

Guys what should I buy with those contract currency ? mystery acquisitions or limited time acquisitions ?

[strange thunder]

usually the only worthwhile thing to get is random curios to try to get ones with 410+ rating

which requires a lot of them bought

[umbral pond]

which Catachan Sword Marks are good for doing what?

[vocal nacelle]

Doing what?

[umbral pond]

like
there's 3 marks of Catachan swords
I assume each has a reason to be used
for example, I assume the second mark is better for heavy attacks, considering it has like double the heavy attack damage

ok I sorta figured it out I think

[rancid raft]

Does this game matchmake you with other players at a similar character level? Because im getting bored of being put with experienced teams, it makes missions too easy.

I’m trying to get used to playing the game again, but I can’t do that when I don’t get a chance to fight anything.

[onyx schooner]

Anyone have a fix for a backend error unable to login thing? I just installed the game again when it happened

[fervent relic]

No, you're just matched by difficulty and map

If you want to get used to fighting again, go to higher difficulties, there's plenty for everyone over there

[slim citrus]

can someone give me quick details on how the event actually works? Do we need to get kills in the shrines glow? just stand near it for a while? i can never tell if its finished or not

[polar sundial]

@slim citrus there is the initial wave but there will be a boss enemy that spawns. Kill it.

Anyone know where / how to see current Attonement? Like how much more do I need to get til next ier reward?

[warped basin]

I like how every single content creator is doing the same thing I've instinctively started doing when playing scum, 90 degree dodge to get everywhere faster, the distance is crazy

[warped basin]

select the weapon -> Inspect
different attack patterns + different damage types

[slim citrus]

i mean we been doing that but it feels like theres no feedback to know if the shrine is actually done or not

[slim citrus]

just press tab

[strange thunder]

there's also an event thing under melk

[vocal nacelle]

loud ringing

[polar sundial]

thanks! I didnt know I could TAB so see what im tracking

[languid sail]

The tab menu is honestly great. I use it all the time to track penance progress

You can track 5 at a time by right clicking them in hestia's blessings

Tab menu also tracks your weekly assignment progress. It's nice

[inland lichen]

Anyone know what's causing trash mobs to randomly explode and knock everyone away?

[languid sail]

Atonement event adds back the mobs with explody brains. They only explode when killed with a ranged headshot

But with desperado double uzi scum running around right now, the explosions happen a lot because the spread is crazy

I try to go for bodyshots when I start gunning during hordes when doing atonement missions because getting knocked around isn't as funny the 100th time lmao

[fickle delta]

i saw half my team launch themselves into the abyss at the very end of a mission the other day because one of them shot a zombie in the face at an inopportune time
be very very careful with ranged weapons around ledges if you play event mission lmao

[shadow skiff]

When you get cranial'd off the map because ppl refuse to stop shooting.

[languid sail]

Make every mission into Clandestium Gloriana with this one single trick

[slim citrus]

So something i only just discovered recently is theres strings from push attacks but also different strings from just shoving and then doing a heavy? (bonesaw) does this exist elsewhere or is it new?

[vocal nacelle]

power maul and TH

[slender quarry]

I'm new to game as of this week but it already feels like the type of game that people learn a lot of new things even after so many hours lol

[keen flume]

Darktide is full of surprises that even long time players still don't know

[slender quarry]

Genuinely love that

[warped basin]

Darktide is full of surprises that even the devs themselves still don't know

[quaint jacinth]

is there a way i can choose what servers i connect to? i am constantly being matched up with people who have cyrillic names
i don't live in russia, i don't speak russian and it's very hard to communicate in a game that requires cooperation

[clear plume]

go to the mission terminal and press E

[quaint jacinth]

yes im on europe

[clear plume]

then its RNG what server it chooses within europe

you can only choose what region you connect too

Just utilize the tag buttons for cooperation

[quaint jacinth]

maybe i should accet the small ping loss and play on US east
it's close enough to only have 100ping

[river temple]

what r these dog tags we get from penance reward?

[clear plume]

Titles you can equip onto your character

bottom right of cosmetic tab

[clear plume]

try it out, ping isnt that bad if its stable

I play eu from NA west all the time

180-200ms

[quaint jacinth]

why do you need to do that?

[river temple]

ic, tyvm! ❤️

[clear plume]

friends

alot of Turkish friends

like for my Havoc 40 4 ogryns slap only, 3 were eu, and I was na west

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1F4yv_5kJY&t=71s

was still fun

[quaint jacinth]

i just saw something about lvl 40
what is this whole havoc thing?

[clear plume]

have you played vermintide?

[quaint jacinth]

i just rejoined and last played 3 years ago so i'm missing a lot of context

i have

[clear plume]

its comparable to weaves

there are ranks, 1-40

40 highest

the higher you go the harder it gets with each mission having a pool of modifiers that are added onto the mission

[quaint jacinth]

i see

and what is a malestorm mission?

[clear plume]

a normal board mission that has added modifiers on it

you can see which ones when you click the mission and look at the tab that pops out with the map picture

[quaint jacinth]

any modifier makes it a malestorm mission?

[clear plume]

yes

well

sorry

the maelstrom modifier pool it pulls from are unique

no other mission can have these modifiers

[quaint jacinth]

okay to unlock the havoc missions it tells me i need t completed a malestorm mission
so just any modifier mission on uprising difficulty is enough?

aah

[clear plume]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/circumstances

this has the list of maelstrom modifiers
