[craggy minnow]

Amusingly i think desperado massively improved my sense for where close range starts

[brisk meadow]

Is Chemical Dependency Broken?

Im testing out a build with Stimm Supply, and both Stimm Supply and the Stim wont push me up to the 4th stack. Im just stuck at 3 despite having the modifier picked.

[craggy minnow]

Stim supply will never give you stacks because the synergy was extremely broken and they had to disable it entirely
Dunno why regular stims won't i haven't tried the 4 stack node

[brisk meadow]

Regular Stims wont either.

[patent jasper]

The talents ‘Blessed Stimms’ and ‘Chemical Dependency’ will now be triggered when entering the proximity of a Stimm Supply loaded with a Stimm (once for each Stimm Supply deployment).

you will get stacks for it

[brisk meadow]

I get up to 3, but no matter if its the Stimm supply or Cartel Special, do I get Chem Dependency.

[craggy minnow]

Oh hey they must have fixed it

[brisk meadow]

Since the Hotfix

[craggy minnow]

Probably broke it patching that lol

[brisk meadow]

Like I have the 4 Stack equipped here and it just doesnt go lol - Could be a Psykarium thing maybe

[muted pumice]

What's the best build to solo havoc 40? :)))

[prisma plinth]

Is there any way to reduce stuttering on pc? Recently the game has been stuttering super badly, and I hadn’t had the issue until then. It’s the only game on my pc that has this problem

[shadow skiff]

Is a FS thing. Ppl suspect they accidentally released the dev test version of the patch with debug logging.

[prisma plinth]

It’s been for like the past month or two ish though

[shadow skiff]

I know it's like that after scum release.

Before, it played better.

[prisma plinth]

Pre scum release it was actually worse

Idk, I’m going to tweak some more settings and see if I can’t fix it

[shadow skiff]

Honestly, is just FS.

[prisma plinth]

That sucks

Why is the game so unstable

[shadow skiff]

FS spaghetti coding.

[prisma plinth]

One patch the game runs fine, the next it’s terrible, the one after is slightly playable

[shadow skiff]

It's held together by dollar store tape.

[vocal nacelle]

AMD?

[prisma plinth]

Yes

Ryzen 5 and Radeon RX 7700xt

[vocal nacelle]

yea AMD just not good on darktide

[prisma plinth]

That’s unfortunate

[modest marten]

I have the same issue on both amd gpu and nvidia gpu so its not only an amd issue

but appart from that i cant even log in to darktide anymore

[prisma plinth]

Really?

I literally re bought the game on console just because I was sick and tired of these issues

[modest marten]

getting hit by backend error rn

[prisma plinth]

Like I just want to play the game I enjoy

[modest marten]

i know right?

who doesnt

[prisma plinth]

But on console in any enemy dense mode you’re getting 30fps most of the time on performance because there are just so many enemies

That was why I bought the pc, because I could make it have crazy specs

But even that is not enough apparently

[modest marten]

on my main system with my 7900 xtx im playing on quality preset for FSR and ive not experienced any issues prior to the update

[prisma plinth]

One patch it runs like butter, the other like an old jak and daxter game, and even that is an insult to jak and daxter because it runs better than this game sometimes

[modest marten]

and now ive hit my all-time low with 23 frames

[prisma plinth]

Frames aren’t the issue for me tbh

It’s just stuttering

I need vsync because the screen cracks if I don’t

I’m on like low settings with no motion blur, blood effects, the list goes on, and the stutters persist

[modest marten]

theres a windows flow controll guard setting that you can edit but it makes your system more vulnerable to stuff

[prisma plinth]

I’m going to try lowering worker threads

Maybe that will help

[modest marten]

ive tried that and after doing that literally ALL stuttering went away

[dense idol]

[prisma plinth]

The game just straight up doesn’t run on windows 11

[dense idol]

does anyone know what could be causing this?

[prisma plinth]

Interesting

But darktide is the only game I own that stutters like that

Even Vermintide 2 doesn’t

[modest marten]

i also can recall v2 being very smooth but i havent played that for years

[modest marten]

do you use mods?

[dense idol]

yes

[modest marten]

by any means scoreboard and or numeric UI?

[dense idol]

Numeric Ui yeah

[modest marten]

i know that theese 2 can cause issues and i had to disable them for myself

[dense idol]

thanks i'll try that

[sonic osprey]

Q) What is a "successful dodge"? relatedly, how good is the Zealot talent that gives you 25% dmg mitigation on successful dodge?

[modest marten]

yeah you can just comment that mod out ont he loader file

in case you wanna try again some time or so

like this

[dense idol]

did your game also crash after switching weapons? Im testing my load order after the update

[modest marten]

nut sure. i werent even able to load into missions before it crashed for me

[modest marten]

not sure if its correct but iirc a successfull dodge is when youre about to get hit and you dodge in time so you dont get hit

and usually you wanna constantly dodge all incomming attacks to not get hit

but take that with a grain of salt. im not incredible in this game

[dense idol]

hmm still seems to crash after disabling NumericUI

[sonic osprey]

I recommend you join the Darktide mods discord

[sand sun]

What rating does a curio have to be to actually give you +3 Stam instead of rounding up?

[clear plume]

410 or higher

[floral igloo]

oh yeah the patch notes mentioned a new inspect for hive scum, does anymore know what weapon thats for?

[lime furnace]

Did this recent patch... break the game? I'm starting a new character, and I've been in three groups in a row that have wiped on the first story mission boss. Before today I haven't seen a wipe on that boss in months.

[thick acorn]

what the hell how did they break the plasma gun with a hive scum hotfix????

[haughty cape]

any tips for a returning player? havent played since late 2024.

[vocal nacelle]

what class

[vocal nacelle]

new player dont know how to block

[vocal nacelle]

its not the first time, enjoy the bug (with stutters)

[modest marten]

I know that they edited the visuals for the Mastery skin of the Crowbar (has white stripes on 3 sides and lost its deep reddishness. no more freeman crowbar vibes)
and depending on the mode youre using the crowbar in you have different inspect animations

one is holding the crowbar more vertically and one is holding it more horizontally by default

but not sure if it is the new inspect animation

[lime furnace]

No, something is definitely broken with this mission. I've never seen so many consecutive wipes.

[clear plume]

you sure its the mission?

[lime furnace]

hahah, right?

it's hard to not take it personally after a few times, but no, i'm not great for sure

but the rest of the group can't be this bad too!

[clear plume]

its the week after a free weekend and a new class

there are like 4x the average players on rn, probably mostly new or returning older players

this is not rare

[vocal nacelle]

Did you at least try to melee the captain

[lime furnace]

Yeah, meleed the hell out of him. But it was mostly just me... the rest of the group were all in different corners of the room dancing.

[vocal nacelle]

yea thats normal for new player

[ashen lintel]

Is it just me or the plasma charger is disintegrating my frames ???

[clear plume]

Yes

Hotfix made plasma drop frames when fired

[pastel coyote]

Sorry, literally brand new so I apologize if this is the wrong place. Just looking for at least 1 person, more is fine too idc, to help me form a strike party so I can do the private match heresy + brain burst monstrosity penance for my psyker. Please and thank you!

[strange thunder]

easier to check in #vox-lfg-lexicanum and pick your respective region

[dusky moss]

do we have an lfg?

[vocal nacelle]

#vox-lfg-lexicanum search your region

[pure ravine]

Hi everyone !
Does anyone have a guide about how the thoughness work and how the thoughtness regeneration affect it ? Thank you !

[little coyote]

What do you want to know? Don't know if there are any dedicated guides but I'm sure we can clear up anything that is causing confusion

But basically toughness will soak up any ranged damage in it's entirety until all of it is depleted and any melee hits you take will be reduced in damage you take to your health by a portion depending how much you have left

Toughness Regeneration refers to the passive regeneration you receive when in coherency with your fireteam, hanging around close to them whilst not taking any damage

Each class has talents that give you additional ways of toughness in chunks, like by hitting or killing enemies in melee

[vocal nacelle]

there's kuli guide that explain how many toughness regen amount you get depending on your character and curio

[warped basin]

don't you get toughness explained in the tutorial?

[vocal nacelle]

simple explanation , not detailed one

[pulsar acorn]

is someone having lag? my game is running like shit

i get kicked by a game like 3 or 4 times in the same game

[faint perch]

I'm doing Brutal Bludgeons penance, but it's progressing incredibly slowly.

(KIll enemies with heavy attacks while Cartel Special is active, 1000 times)

I'm using shivs for the fast heavy charge and spamming a stimm with a 15 second cooldown.

Is there anything else I can do to speed up the penance? I'm certain most of the heavy kills aren't counting

[shadow skiff]

Chem/bleed kills won't count.

And you are likely killing them with those.

Best to use the crowbar or remove bleed and chem on crit.

[faint perch]

ok. thanks

[shadow skiff]

Also, may need to remove hyper-criticals

You need to test that one yourself. I did it when it was bugged so never had it.

Just know DoT kills don't count.

[warped basin]

the more toughness you have the less melee damage you take to health (100% reduction at 100% toughness) in addition to toughness
ranged attacks don't damage health as long as you have toughness
what did I miss

[void forge]

Nope that's pretty much it

Although there are some melee attacks that will delete both your toughness and hp regardless of what % toughness you are at, namely overheads

[faint patio]

Hi, what is damage vs "electrocuted" enemies? How does one electrocute?

[vocal nacelle]

arbites?

[faint patio]

Yes

[vocal nacelle]

your shockmaul special action can electrocute enemies

dog bomb, shock mine

[faint patio]

People recommend the +dmg blessing vs electrocuted on shield but I don't understand why

[vocal nacelle]

or the shock ammo shotgun

[vocal nacelle]

its easy to apply on arbites

[shadow skiff]

Any attack that staggers with shock maul and shockmaul and shield also counts to it.

[faint patio]

o.O ok thanks

[shadow skiff]

Is easy to see if you hit easily staggered stuff or take a certain node and hit heads.

[faint patio]

Cheers 😄

[shadow skiff]

Enemy will crackle with electricity. The ones from the mauls attack stagger has no damage though.

[languid jewel]

Check ur drivers etc darktide is very sensitivre.

And just try to turn it on and off again.

[pulsar acorn]

game was running fine yesterday, since thhe game kick me from the game i think it should be something related to conecction

[knotty wyvern]

is this penance bugged?
just did rolling steel twice

1. did get hit once in melee but took no health damage, couldnt heal at the healing station. read that it might still register as technical health damage so i did it again.
2. this time i took no health damage, but i collided with a dog, it did not pounce on me, but moved me, which isnt damaging. so i took no damage.

i still havent gotten this penance, is it locked behind a certain difficulty or does rolling steel not count?

[little coyote]

dog collision causes corruption damage iirc

oh and not sure if rolling steel (operation) counts

[knotty wyvern]

i couldnt heal at the healing station afterwards, but maybe technically

oh yh its a special operation

[shadow skiff]

If a dog touches you, even with immunity to corruption, it would break. Same as a mutie even if killed quickly.

[knotty wyvern]

perhaps they discriminate between the special operations and missions.

[strange thunder]

idt rolling steel would block anything

[knotty wyvern]

i didnt take any toughness damage, it pounced another guy and i simply got pushed. but maybe third times the charm

[shadow skiff]

I wonder if they made it harder now... For whatever reason.

[quaint jacinth]

why do i sometimes become unable to ping things?

[shadow skiff]

Bug, try pressing tab alot or the back button on controller.

[supple iron]

if you get interupted while reviving down player you getting that bug the best way to fix it is to interact with something like ammo packs or just open chest.

[pure ravine]

Ty for your answer ! It's pretty much about how the toughness regeneration work with syntony. If i understood correctly the toughness regeneration buff of curios affect the passive regeneration of the syntony right ?

[smoky ember]

syntony?

[balmy moat]

it only affects coherency regen

all other ways to get toughness are not affected by the curios

[pure ravine]

coherency right !

[smoky ember]

but toughness regeneration on curios only applies to coherency regen, which is very slow and not taking curio perks for,

some talents will increase toughness replenishment, which increases how much toughness you regen from talents that generate toughness

[balmy moat]

its generally considered a "dead" perk, because theres other perks that are more impactful in an active fight

[smoky ember]

this, for example, you gain 5% extra toughness from all sources per stack of martyrdom

[balmy moat]

things like increased toughness, hp, stamina regen (on some classes), damage resist of some sort, et cetera, are a better application of curio

[pure ravine]

Ok ok thank you it's clear now for me 🙂

[mild snow]

In the Special Assignments tab, how do you know if you completed it or not?

[strange thunder]

I think if you can view the post battle thing in the box next to the missions

[wicked cosmos]

Hi i'm new. I would like to play but do not feel comfortable yet to use a mic.

[storm gale]

how does backstab work?

[balmy moat]

hit an enemy in the back, with melee

[storm gale]

i tested in the meatgrinder but theres no damage difference

[clear plume]

testing with what

backstabs do not do more damage base

it only triggers certain talents or blessings

[storm gale]

tested with the knife with a 70% rending on backstab

and with a shotgun for the veteran talent

[clear plume]

rending only increases damage against things not infested or unarmored

and side note, ruthless backstabs isnt that good

Here is the backstab angle

[sonic osprey]

Q) newbie question.
Is this a "god roll" from melk? Why or why not?

[lone adder]

Mobility is 11 points too high, so sadly not the best roll it could be, but still perfectly usable

[stoic locust]

Low crit bonus is pretty lame

[sonic osprey]

When it says Critical "70/70", does that mean Critical is GLOBALLY capped at 70%? and I can NEVER see a weapon that is higher?

[stoic locust]

I wouldn't get it unless you want one

[lone adder]

No, it means for that specific weapon you got, the max is 70

You can absolutely see 80 on crit

[strange thunder]

the first number is the weapon's current percentage and the second is the weapon's max percentage

but it's already a 500 weapon so they're the same

[lone adder]

^

[storm shale]

Which missions are "the carnival" for the show penances?

[twilit girder]

How do i make my spyker fast enough to not be left in the dust by 3 hivescum?

[stoic locust]

Psyker is faster than non desperado

Go for it

[hollow nest]

quick question about difficulties, I started playing during the free weekend and just unlocked auric difficulty but haven't tried it. I also unlocked havoc by doing a damnation maelstrom mission and have that too, but is havoc 1 harder than auric? or is there some kind of scale?

it also seems like this was changed some months ago so I'm having a bit of trouble looking it up online

[clear plume]

Havoc scales by rank

0-40

40 being highest

only around 25-30 is auric level

[hollow nest]

ah ok so if damnation feels chill then I’m probably fine to start messing around with earlier havoc levels?

I wasn’t sure if havoc 1 immediately is a step up from auric or something

[stoic locust]

Havoc 1 is malice with a really nasty director and a unique modifier

[clear plume]

doing an auric maelstrom will jump you to 16

try it out

its my fav gamemode since its the hardest

but if you lose 3 times you go down 1 rank, if you win a mission you go up 1

[hollow nest]

sweet thanks yall, a lot of this stuff is very confusing and not well explained lol

[clear plume]

thats what they do

dont explain

[thick acorn]

is the plasma gun issue resolved?

[vocal nacelle]

Either before Christmas or after new year

[pastel forge]

What issue

[latent girder]

lags some people's games

[clear plume]

DROPS FRAMES

*caps

[latent girder]

that more accurately

[vocal nacelle]

Plasma and voistrike can cause heavy stutter

[pastel forge]

I see

[cunning merlin]

since the hivescum class channel is full of people talking lore any one wana check my work on a talent build for hive sucm?

[normal flame]

how is it that sometimes you can go from full to dead/need rescue without having a chance to be revived?

[vocal nacelle]

corruption and wounds

or getting overhead in havoc

[normal flame]

is it possible to have poxwalkers give that much corruption that from full you end up with enough to just be dead?

thats what happened to me so im confused

[vocal nacelle]

yes, if the corruption ate your health segment to 1 you die when you get downed

[normal flame]

the consequence of 1 net

[vocal nacelle]

or poxburster

[gusty cape]

Is there an actual list of all sources of Corruption damage? There are times where after hordes of Poxwalkers I have a large amount of corruption gained, despite not getting downed, and no Tox Flamers or Pox Bombers, but I don't think Poxwalkers can inflict corruption, can they?

[vocal nacelle]

Pox can

[gusty cape]

Is there any specific ones that do it, or a specific circumstance? I swear if I'm watching for it, it doesn't happen

[shadow skiff]

If they hit you.

[gusty cape]

Just any hit, huh? Weird, cause it seems inconsistent sometimes.

[vocal nacelle]

Not at full toughness

[shadow skiff]

It's only if they do health damage to you.

So, taking two or more hits in a row from full toughness.

[gusty cape]

Gotcha. Thanks

[nimble basin]

what level should i move onto heresy? I just got my character to 30 and have both weapons above 400. I've heard the jump from malice to heresy is noticeable and was just wondering

[vocal nacelle]

if you didnt die often when playing malice try heresy

[nimble basin]

ill stay in Malice for now i still die quiet a bit

thank you

[vocal nacelle]

darktide at high difficulty are mostly knowledge check, you need to have decent build and good grasp of mechanic

[keen sonnet]

Tbh the jump between malice and heresy is iirc one of the largest too

[vocal nacelle]

i cant give comment on this because my perception already skewed from high diff

[keen sonnet]

Nah the health jumps between malice and heresy are iirc the highest because iirc up and mal didn't get hit with HP tweaks while the other diffs did

[nimble basin]

i play psyker should i prioritize wounds on my curios or something else?

[clear plume]

Wounds are a never take outside martyrdom zealot

Toughness is best thing to stack, but some note that health helps them more

2 tough + 1 hp

or 3 tough

is what I use

[nimble basin]

so for main blessing look for toughness or health?

[clear plume]

yes

prefer toughness stacking

but if you dont have enough resources

hp will do

[nimble basin]

im trying to do the event so i can level my gear fully but im still looking for curios that are good for me

thank you for the help

[rancid spindle]

the game is equipping the stimm supply on hive scum no matter what ability I take? is this a glitch, and anyone know how to fix it?

[coral crag]

Why the hell is train on damnation literal hell?

[shadow skiff]

Because you have an invalid build, check all nodes again.

[shadow skiff]

Because most people suck at pushing or just stand around whacking poxxers.

[coral crag]

Yeah but then we get a thousand rangers thrown at us at once and it gets more painful

[keen flume]

people have a massive skill issue and are to busy fighting and not rushing

[rancid spindle]

i checked all 3 and none are invalid, all the talents are connected

[shadow skiff]

Could you screenshot them? Just to be sure?

[rancid spindle]

that work?

[shadow skiff]

Yeah, just checking. What happens if you swap characters then swap back, does the build change or save as is?

[rancid spindle]

saves as is

i think its just the game being buggy, ill just try and restart

[shadow skiff]

Just going through a checklist of the usual stuff. Sometimes, it just gets stuck. Worst case, make a new loadout to test.

[rancid spindle]

ah kk

[rancid spindle]

restarting seems to have fixed it

thanks for the help!

[coral crag]

Train got finished thank god

We literally pub pushed

[shadow skiff]

A clear case of FS spaghetti code, heh.

[shadow skiff]

It's the fastest mission, but can also be the hardest. Ppl forget about the clock.

[rancid spindle]

ye lol

[twilit pike]

has anyone encountered issues with block-pushing? Been a number of times where I tried to do it against a dog or burster and the push doesnt respond? Idk if this is my mouse or the game

[void forge]

there are various reasons it might not have worked for you

like you couldve not been in range, lag, or if the dog/burster wasnt actually going for you but rather a teammate then they become somewhat more difficult to push

[patent jasper]

If you ever get stuck blocking swap weapons and it’ll fix it, wonky new-ish bug

[twilit pike]

I meant like there isnt even a push animation sometimes and its not executed

[patent jasper]

yea, the bug where you are stuck blocking and you can’t push or stop blocking

Just swap weapons

[twilit pike]

Hmmm I'm not sure if I'm unable to stop blocking, but I'll give it a try

[brazen stag]

ok, I dont know where to ask by this point, so I will ask here - after the new patch my game keeps crashing and/or having desync mid game before disconnecting me, I tryed with mods, without mods, disabling and enabling mesh_streamer_settings and still the issue persists for the past 3 days.
this is what I get when I crash -

I dont know what to do by this point

[vocal nacelle]

Try updating gpu driver

[thick acorn]

is there a build for ogryn and zealot that focuses on ranged 90% of the time like recon lasgun veteran/inferno spam psyker

or are they both just melee focused classes?

[tawdry oxide]

Does anyone know if toughness damage reduction has a cap or diminishing returns?

I have a hive scum build that COULD have 75% tdr just from existing but I don't know if that's accurate

[brazen stag]

the most obvious solution worked... fucking hell

[strange thunder]

right side of ogryn tree lets you do ranged a bunch, but you can't get up 90% really

zealot doesn't have anything close to it

[chrome imp]

anybody ever heard of an issue my buddies having? Enemies running in place despite being dead, running through walls, lots of rubber banding, invisible fire. We've verified game files but that ain't it

[clear plume]

server lag it sounds like

[chrome imp]

yeah but its only him, there a way to idk get him on a different server or something?

[clear plume]

you cant choose the server within a region but if you want to can change region, go to mission board and press E

We'll try that, thank you

[faint patio]

Bouncing from 20->21 havoc past week >_< is it that big of a spike? 20 feels very reasonable, but get hard pounded on 21

[clear plume]

doesnt 21 add a 2nd modifier

[acoustic snow]

Is brunts/Melk the only way to get 17% tough curios?

[keen flume]

Yes, the best only two options to get max stat curios

[acoustic snow]

Yea I does the higher chance for curio ....curio and it only dropped one toughness outa like 12 runs

which was 15% lol. I wish they would just let us get the max ones like why not lol

[fervent relic]

All my melk coins go to curio gambling

[acoustic snow]

and curio's are character bound right?

[fervent relic]

Yes

[acoustic snow]

Dag. I truely think they should either allow us to sacrifice to swaps stats around or just pay a buncho monies

[rancid raft]

I believe 21 is when it becomes damnation difficulty, that’s what I have heard at some point anyway.

[shadow skiff]

It is, way more hp and damage, AI gets more 'unlocked'.

[inland kindle]

Where do we report bugs? Cause this needs a patch asap 👆

[clear plume]

Crusher attack is an aoe

it was going for teammate close to you and hit you with the aoe

[craggy minnow]

the hitbox is a little odd, doesnt usually come up

my game's been crashy as hell today

idk if the hotfix is butting heads with mods or something

[inland kindle]

Ive avoided crusher smashes closer than that. Bombers are insane lately too and I can’t count how many dogs have managed to snatch me despite being 5 feet way off mark

[clear plume]

explosions have a bug

crusher aoe does not

[stoic locust]

Because dodging prevents the hit

[clear plume]

you cant dodge teamamtes attacks

[misty swift]

Am I the only one who feels like I keep getting hit by stuff that I dodged? Especially with bursters and trappers.

[latent girder]

it's bugged rn

[clear plume]

"Known Issue
In patch 1.10.0, we introduced a change to how explosions work that was meant to improve performance around said explosions. A side effect of this was that players are being ‘hit’ by explosions from farther than before, which was unintended. We’re aiming to fix this issue in the next hotfix."

from the patch notes

[misty swift]

Shit then what do I do until its fixed? My team keeps getting wiped when we really shouldn't be.

[clear plume]

uhh

up to you

[misty swift]

Is the answer just to suffer with it?

Thats fine then

[latent girder]

more or less yeah

[clear plume]

Its their vacation soon

so hopefully they finish before they leave

[tight obsidian]

Are any mods known to cause crashes right now?

Modded the game again and I crash consistently

Never had an issue before

[vocal nacelle]

if you didnt update the mod yes

numeric & scoreboard

[maiden path]

does difficulty matter for weapon mastery?

[vocal nacelle]

til damnation i think

[modest marten]

and idea on how to complete this in fairly fast time? ive played 63 missions wich scum now and this is all the progress i have

[vocal nacelle]

go full right side

[modest marten]

left you mean

for toughness regeneration

[vocal nacelle]

stimm lab yea

[modest marten]

im allready doing that

[vocal nacelle]

the talent you do chem dependency and stim supply

[modest marten]

im doing that too

but dunno

its just incredibly slow

like it requires you to activly play bad

[vocal nacelle]

well stimming while full toughness doesnt count

[modest marten]

would be helpfull if it would even though youre getting no additional toughness

[balmy moat]

it is, but that itself is definitely a bug

crusher aoe is not supposed to be a radius around the entire crusher

Can someone help me with On Overwatch

[clear plume]

5 min then I can help

just need your fatshark code social menu then press E

[keen zenith]

Okay thanks wait should I either do it manually or just cheese it

[clear plume]

I can help cheese it

[keen zenith]

Okay here

[keen zenith]

Misclick its 13

[clear plume]

so I can copy and paste

if you left click it, it copies it

[keen zenith]

Ohhh okay

[winter fog]

Can someone help me clear this havoc assignment it’s my first one

[keen zenith]

Ainz is so sick man they just speed running the whole thing

[winter fog]

How’s

[thick acorn]

why does the spearhead boltgun take forever to be able to fire after swapping? how do i skip the animation?

[clear plume]

only with zealot throwing knives

swap to bolter and throw knife

[vocal nacelle]

"balance"

[thick acorn]

sucks when i need to switch to melee while getting swarmed then needing to shoot an elite/special quickly

additionally sucks cause if you're focusing on specials/elites and stay on the bolter, pub game allies just zip forward and leave you behind

its less annoying in vermintide cause you only have movetech, it's twice the issue on darktide cause of sprint

[stoic locust]

Throwing knives

[smoky ember]

throwing knives, or vet’s executioners stance

[vernal plaza]

Reload sprint cancel

[proper stratus]

if i am trying for 5 no death maelstorms, can i die in another game mode meantime?

[sinful summit]

yes

thanks

[frail coral]

I am trying to put a level 4 skullcrusher blessing on my crusher but it says the blessing is not available

Is there any way to fix this or I gotta grind until I get one thats available for skullcrusher or something?

[shadow skiff]

You need to claim it in mastery first.

[frail coral]

oh

thats it?

thanks

[shadow skiff]

Yeah, gotta lvl mastery to claim though.

[frail coral]

yea yea got it

appreciated

[frail coral]

also can you suggest me an secondary weapon for zaelot crusher build?

I'm kind of confused on which weapon I should use

[void forge]

bolt pistol

lethal prox+puncture

[frail coral]

thanks

[cold tiger]

I am NEARLY done with penance hunting

What’s an easy penance points source you guys have used? I’m at 5370 out of 5500

[velvet quiver]

go through the lists and aim for those that give 10, 20, 30 pointys and just grind them out

[cold tiger]

I mean yeah

[velvet quiver]

the ganger class has easy penances

[cold tiger]

Anything specific??

[cold tiger]

Done them just yesterday

[velvet quiver]

i can give you cheese solutions for easy or fast acquiring, but there's like 700 penances or more... 🙁

go through your list, find several and just tell me their names or objectives and i'll let u know

aim for those chain

penances

that 4/5

or 8/10\

once you get one you get the rest too

[cold tiger]

I’ll just stick to my plan of doing the rest of ogryn and the weapon mastery penances

Since I can cheese the mastery ones

[frail coral]

we take the mobility as dumpstat at boltpistol right?

[latent girder]

collat

[frail coral]

damn

that sounded like something important

gonna keep rolling then

[cinder flicker]

Anyone else have issues with the game not rendering textures right away`? Like walls and enemies are quite blurry until it suddenly loads in.

[frail coral]

btw sean you think crusher and boltpistol is decent?

[latent girder]

Ye

[frail coral]

aight

ty

[pastel forge]

mobility on bistol affects your accuracy while moving iirc

so collat dump

[frail coral]

ohh ok

now it makes sense

bc almost every other gun was mobility dump

I thought it would be the same

[fervent relic]

yeah from 0-80 your spread while moving literally halves

[shadow skiff]

The bistol one works. Dumping collateral is because it seriously does nothing at all for the bistol.

[frail coral]

got it

[sonic osprey]

Q) hi guys, is this a "good" roll? The level (number of the top right) seems VERY low? Does that mean I will have to SPEND a lot to get it useable?

[keen flume]

Yes, you gonna now need to upgrade to max stats

[sonic osprey]

should I just wait till I find a better roll where I dont have to spend to upgrade? how "rare" is this roll?

[keen flume]

If you are high in materials you can invest it on the roll you just got and max upgrade it

God rolls are not typically rare, they common unless Brunt is not feeling generous with you today

[maiden path]

this is actually good, i do believe the correct dump stat for this is defences, so this is pretty much min-maxed

you would have to do the same thing where you buy the same weapon for the max potential roll and upgrade it to max

[smoky ember]

no

you wont get any natural max level rolls

from brunt, that is

and its not super expensive to upgrade one weapon

[warped basin]

I forgot how fucking terrible playing on friday evenings is, all the players with zero concept of coherency and pings come crawling out

[warped basin]

lower your texture res, you're running out of VRAM
the game was doing this on my end the first day of hive scum update, then they fixed it mostly, but chem nades are still pretty badly optimized

[cinder flicker]

Thanks for an answer. I got a 5080, but I guess it doesn't matter. I'll give it a try

[warped basin]

you didn't say when your game started doing that (and you just now said what GPU you're using), hard to help without being provided information

[faint patio]

silly question, has anything changed in leveling? Or do I just spam quickplay with +% xp curios?

[clear plume]

nothign changed in leveling

[thick acorn]

does auric maelstrom mission only mean this one?

[void forge]

there is only one maelstrom on the board at anytime yes

[thick acorn]

i can't get this if i join mid-match yeah?

[keen flume]

You can midmatch if I remember

Just pray that you have luck of how you gonna spawn in

[polar forum]

i think there's a cutoff

at a certain point you can't get it

also if you join a match and the team fails immediately

you lose your streak

so best to just not joing ongoing games

[twilit girder]

Any tips for Plasteel and Adamantine farming?

[rancid raft]

Somebody told me that this game doesn’t have level based matchmaking, but after testing it, I’m always being put into missions with teams of people at a similar level to myself

If I’m on a character under level 10, then I’ll be put into full teams with people under level 10.

If I’m on a level 30 character, then I get put in teams full of other level 30 players.

Is there any way to stop this from happening on Xbox?

[rancid raft]

For adamantine, I believe completing one high havoc mission every week is the best method

[twilit girder]

Create a new character.

[twilit girder]

What if I don't / can't play havoc?

[rancid raft]

In that case, the best method would probably be damnation missions. But I’m not sure because I don’t play damnation/auric often

[vocal nacelle]

quickplay damnation for plasteel

havoc for diamantine

[twilit girder]

Damnit.

[vocal nacelle]

you can do it on damnation but its slow

only 250+ permission

base havoc 16 (heresy diff) give 3K per week

[twilit girder]

None of my characters besides arbites can tackle damnation.

[vocal nacelle]

you have arbites

[twilit girder]

It's either arbites is an easy class or that I haven't had catastrophically bad teammates as arby.

[twilit girder]

I do :[

[vocal nacelle]

can ask in LFG channel

[twilit girder]

There's an LFG channel?

[vocal nacelle]

#vox-lfg-lexicanum

[twilit girder]

Oh.

Thank you!

[rancid raft]

How bad were the ogryn talent tree nerfs? Because since that update, I haven’t seen a single person playing as ogryn apart from the occasional person walking around the mourningstar, I haven’t seen any in missions though.

[vocal nacelle]

ogryn player is kinda rare

cant even remember exact nerf on ogryn

[warped basin]

this has never been the case for me but I play on Steam, it's more like you're choosing a lower difficulty that tends to have newer players + you just won't find low-level characters on higher diff because they're progress-locked

[rancid raft]

I was playing uprising difficulty on a level 30 character, and I was either put with other level 30 players, or nobody at all.

Then when I switch to a lower level character, it’s immediately finding teams of similar level players

[warped basin]

I truly wish that were the case, over half the time I play my 130+ level characters I get matched with someone who almost or just barely hit 30 and they very obviously play like it's their first character

[rancid raft]

Maybe it’s just an Xbox thing, but that doesn’t make much sense for it to only be an Xbox feature. I’m not sure why it happens

[warped basin]

I do get a mix of console players in my lobbies too and very often they're far away from my own level, maybe some crossplay shenanigans

[mild snow]

For the armory, how do you get those 500 power weapons?
I only seem to get power 300, or 320 weapons

[rotund ermine]

Late game

[mild snow]

I am level 30 already

[rotund ermine]

You have to upgrade them via Hadron

[rotund ermine]

Masteries

You check masteries first

It should say the level of your gun and choosing the blessings pal

As you level up it increases

[mild snow]

oh, so you have to be masstery 20 in that weapon, before it starts to show up higher?

[rancid raft]

You need a high enough mastery with the weapon type to increase its power at hadron

[fervent relic]

Maxed weapons don't show up in the armory

You can only get them by upgrading

[rotund ermine]

Whats the right words I am looking for.

When you level up your mastery, you have the option to increase the power of your weapon

[fervent relic]

Or from melk

[rotund ermine]

It doesnt need to be max level, it slowly increases at certain levels

[fervent relic]

To get 500 you need mastery 18 iirc

[rotund ermine]

Yes 18

20 is for the blessings

[mild snow]

oh! so.... if you get a grey one, and upgrade it to orange, it will become 500? as long as the weapon is mastery 18+?

[fervent relic]

No

[rancid raft]

No

[fervent relic]

The power only refers to the stats

Not perks and blessings

In order to increase power you need to "empower" with hadron

It's one of the options

[rancid raft]

The maximum power that you can reach by empowering depends on your mastery level with the weapon that you are trying to empower

[mild snow]

ah! so.... by empower a weapon, fully to 80/80/80/80/60 or whateer, you can get it to power 500, but you need mastery 18

[rancid raft]

Yeah

[tight heron]

Is there a guide to dots anywhere? Just curious if there's a list of max stacks, their sources, ADMs etc

I've seen individual things here and there but not all in one place

[tight heron]

And if memory serves its cheaper in resources to make a weapon orange first then empower it than it is to make it 500 then make it orange

[mild snow]

ah, i see

[fervent relic]

yeah more powerful weapons cost more to consecrate

[mild snow]

wait..... is tthat that the opposite

[tight heron]

No

Consecration=going from gray to green to blue to purple to orange

Empowering=going from 200 to 210 to... 300...400...500

[mild snow]

Right... And I mean, you said its cheaper to make weapon orange, then to 500

[fervent relic]

yes

[mild snow]

AH!!!! read wrong

wait no

according to @fervent relic orange weapons are more expensive to make 500

[fervent relic]

both empowering and consecration cost scale with power

[fervent relic]

no

thats not what i said

[mild snow]

so, you DONT want to make weapon orange first?

[fervent relic]

the cost to make a weapon 500 doesnt depend on colour

[mild snow]

This is what I was referring to

[fervent relic]

yeah?

[fervent relic]

it doesnt mean this

[mild snow]

oh

so....what order should I do it?

500 first? then Orange?

[fervent relic]

colour then number

[mild snow]

Or Orange first? then 500

Ah!

[tight heron]

This

[mild snow]

Ok, so make sure its color first, then 500

[tight heron]

Correct

[mild snow]

how do you guys get ordo dockets? like.....millions?!

[fervent relic]

play maelstroms and havoc

[tight heron]

Play damnation/Auric maels and havoc gives weekly reward crates

[fervent relic]

or just spam auric quickplay

it's less efficient but also less faff

[tight heron]

Also to speed up mastery

Sacrifice your mission reward weapons via Hadron

You can also check the armory and buy trash weapons and sacrifice them for mastery

[mild snow]

Haha! I need money first!!

[tight heron]

Like you'll find a Relic Blade that's 60 damage that you don't want as one you keep in your inventory but you can buy it then sacrifice to Hadron

Ordo dockets will become something you don't even think about soon enough

[fervent relic]

if you're really desperate for money like right this second you can buy shit from melk and discard it

[mild snow]

Also, I see in videos, they have a healthbar above enemies, with damamge numbers, what mod is that?

[fervent relic]

i wouldnt recommend it though

[fervent relic]

"Healthbars"

[latent girder]

yup

most the mods are pretty simply named for dt

[warped basin]

"oh I saw a mod that does this, let me avoid googling the most simple thing it could be called in order to be able to find it"

[balmy moat]

youll never guess what "disable screen effects" does

or "disco aquila"

[mild snow]

Honestly....I have no idea what that does

[balmy moat]

disco... aquila

[mild snow]

so.... it gives an aquila in game, that turns into a disco ball?

[balmy moat]

turns the nuncio aquila into a rave

[mild snow]

or it plays music only?

see.....2 different things

[balmy moat]

no, mods are always clientside

its a live game

[sweet heart]

is there a place to find someone to help me get my level up?

[balmy moat]

the #vox-lfg-lexicanum areas, based on region

or, you can often jump into the chat for the class youre levelling and find someone who might help if no one raises a hand directly in LFG

[sweet heart]

thank you

[twilit girder]

Do crits ignore armor?

[clear plume]

no

crits just do extra damage

[twilit girder]

I see.

Rending is AP?

[latent girder]

and many weapon's crits have better armor damage, but nothing specifically about the crits as a whole

[twilit girder]

Thanks.

[pastel forge]

Basically

[mild snow]

so, how do you see the base crit of a weapon?

Wiki doesnt have the scum weapons yet, and also, not sure how to read the charts...

[clear plume]

thats the funny thing

you dont

There is a mod that shows crit chance

[polar portal]

I use a mod

[mild snow]

Crap, i was really hoping not to have to do that....my mod list is getting REALLY long

[mild snow]

which mod is that? I see the show crit chance one, but that doesnt seem updated for Hive weapons

[pastel forge]

Either a mod or dig around the code

[keen flume]

I can see the crit chance on scum weapons

[polar portal]

It is the "Show crit chance"

The red number

[clear plume]

dont forget scum has a base of 10% crit

so -10% if you are looking for weapon crit

[polar portal]

Do some weapons have higher base chance? I feel like everything so far was 5%

[clear plume]

yes

knife is 15%

[keen flume]

Indeed

[clear plume]

tactical axe gets 10%?

duel shivs get 15%?

those 3 weapons iirc

are the only higher base crit

[polar portal]

huh... the more you know.

[latent girder]

a few guns have higher as well

las pistol iirc has increased crit chance but not 100% sure what it is

[clear plume]

between 10-20

probably 15

[mild snow]

wait...from what?

[clear plume]

the class

all classes have a base crit

vet/scum have 10% base

psyker 7.5%

zealot 5%

ogryn 2.5%

arby idk

[mild snow]

What is....combat blade?

[keen sonnet]

Arby is 7.5 iirc

[clear plume]

catachan combat blade, (knife)

[mild snow]

I meant % crit

[clear plume]

ahh

15% on the weapon

then add class crit

[mild snow]

so the crit chance show....doesnt show the class crit?

or, that number is not included in the calcualtion?

[clear plume]

it does but it also shows weapon crit at same time

so you need to note the difference

[mild snow]

AH! i see what you mean

[clear plume]

but I havent used that mod in a long time

idk if it got changed

[mild snow]

so the crit....is true crit, after EVERYTHING?

and then....the breakdown, you need to know your personal crit from weapons and stuff

to know base crit you mean

[clear plume]

yeah, there are 3 sources of crits

class + weapon + talents

[elder fox]

Hello, I need help starting Havoc, I've started countless voicechats and got no where, where should I start?

[smoky ember]

vet has 10% base??

i did not know that

[smoky ember]

don’t forget perrkjkssss

+5% crit chance is just such a game changer

[smoky ember]

it’s dependent on which swing in the combo, it changes from like +10% to +12.5%

i can check when i get home

but it’ll be a couple hours

Please for the love of the god emperor tell me you were /j

[smoky ember]

no +5% crit is game changing, taking ur crit chance from one 1/20 to 1/10 doubles it

so ur basically dealing double damage overall

i also take +crit damage

anyone having 2014 error on Ru servers?
the game doesn't start with mods, I can join the moaningstar only on vanilla

[polar portal]

Had it earlier. No changes in mods, just got kicked once

[umbral pond]

about what level should I start caring about min-maxing my stats?

like, weapon percentages

[shadow skiff]

25+ is when you start getting easier minmax. Earlier lvls get more average all rolls. Still can get minmax, but more ex. Some will say, just use drops to 30.

[umbral pond]

alright

[shadow skiff]

Check in Brunt to see if there's a nice one in the shop first, usually be cheaper if you don't need mastery lvls.

[umbral pond]

what's the maximum toughness and health buff curios can have?
actually, while I'm here, what are all the options a curio can have as a blessing

[latent girder]

17 for tgh and 21% for hp

[umbral pond]

kinda weird numbers but cool

[mighty jungle]

i cant figure out what is the best build atm for zealot... :((

plz help

[latent girder]

it do be weird now that I think about it

[vocal nacelle]

depends what you want to do

[stiff kernel]

above and beyond i guess, 110% completetion

[quaint jacinth]

when i finish a mission it shows my weapon mastery being 20/20 but when i go to the mastery menu it is still 19 and 50% done
why is that?

[warped basin]

the one you enjoy playing
if you aren't playing havoc - which you aren't - you don't really care, as pretty much anything can work

[opal nebula]

when reset, will that 20 be a 0 instead? and i have to grind the way up again?

[umbral pond]

so I was playing a mission
went in a room
inside, was a locker
I tried to open it, but it was locked
what could this be?

it was interactable, but locked
I tried meleeing it, and nothing happened, even though I was a very beeg strong Ogryn and should have been able to smash locker open

[strange thunder]

it's related to a skull

on power matrix I'm guessing?

[balmy moat]

yeah

the cryonic rod one

you need to go find the key to open the locker

its in one of the rooms right across the walkway, climb up some boxes to a little ledge, theres a key there next to a corpse, grab it, then go back to the locker to get the skull

theres a skull hidden in every map (except orthus offensive, train, and trenches)

[umbral pond]

what does skull do?

[balmy moat]

penance, and some plasteel the first time you grab it. amount varies based on the difficulty you grabbed it on

[dense tulip]

and a random lore voiceline plays, if it's of any importance

[balmy moat]

doesnt always

ive never gotten them, i had to find the lines on youtube to hear them

[dense tulip]

curious

this shouldn't be the case

[balmy moat]

no, its broken

my spouse didnt get them either when we started collecting them

[novel ermine]

Assuming you don’t go above 20, it’ll decrease ya to 10

[pulsar acorn]

what's the maximum difference of your havoc level counting from bellow to still increasing your rank

[clear plume]

are you asking how many ranks will you jump if you complete a havoc higher then your rank?

[pulsar acorn]

more like what's the range of havoc missions to still increasing my rank

[clear plume]

any rank that is higher or your rank will increase your rank

[pulsar acorn]

so 1 less don't increase my range?

that's stupid

[warped basin]

no, you can't get to havoc 40 by doing havoc 1s lmao

[pulsar acorn]

yes

you are right

No I'm asking for help. I'm literally stuck at 6/7 not my fault the internet is all brain rot

[shy stone]

I recently came back after a hiatus and I am experiencing an issue with my Chain Axe (mk IV). Previously a revved heavy attack would always stagger even a Crusher, but now it seems much less reliable. Sometimes even an isolated Crusher that hasnt been attacked wont stagger. And I definitely feel like the stagger comes later in the animation. Has anyone experienced the same?

[rancid raft]

I’m pretty sure crusher health has been increased, I’m not sure if that affects stagger or not, but it might.

[shy stone]

Aye I considered that too

[thick acorn]

this is so funny since it's a very obvious and very easy to fix coding error but it's still up 2 weeks in

[opal nebula]

best way to farm diamantine?

[keen flume]

Crushers have a stagger immunity after the initial stagger before

Could be related to it

[thick acorn]

do i just turn on power falchion and wack everything until it charges up, or should i always turn it off before it reaches full?

[patent jasper]

that bar is the heat meter, if it reaches full it'll forcibly uncharge and be locked out until it fully cools down

better to just turn it off before full

[strange thunder]

if you have the opportunity to power down then it's always more optimal, but it's not the end of the world if you can't afford to in the moment

[thick acorn]

apparently, weapon swap twice just turns it off

[strange thunder]

it does, but it messes with weapons specialist

it's my go to on relic blade, not falchion

[thick acorn]

does auric maelstrom give extra rewards on top of auric or nah?

[strange thunder]

maelstrom gives the extra rewards

[thick acorn]

o nice

[strange thunder]

now there's just two ranks of maelstrom, but before you had the possibility of malice, heresy, damnation, and auric damnation

[thick acorn]

yea i just grinded it a bit for the gold title

now im wondering if its worth playing for rewards

or just normal auric

how often does the commodore cash shop reset?

every 2 weeks

on thursday iirc

[thick acorn]

nice, im waiting for a psyker staff skin

[scarlet hazel]

If crushers are also ogryns, do they get affected by the damage against unyielding enemies perk, or are they strictly carapace?

[balmy moat]

supposedly if you aim at their hands its uny but i forgot to test, generally just carapace tho

[clear plume]

Crushers are 100% carapace

[scarlet hazel]

Their fingers are shooting off sparks

[patent jasper]

I did not know reaper hands were carapace

[latent girder]

got my mf gloves on

[warped hollow]

What causes your Havoc rank to suddenly jump significantly higher than what you physically ranked up to?

[balmy moat]

doing much higher ranks increases your rank faster

[warped hollow]

I haven't played any higher ranks, I just started doing Havoc and did 5 rounds and got to assignment 5, then when I checked the terminal a day or two later and it said my assignment rank was 16 while my highest was 5

[clear plume]

did you do an auric maelstrom?

it jumps your rank to 16

[balmy moat]

sounds like exactly what happened

5 to 16 tho isnt as severe as it sounds

so, you should still find it doable

[wicked wedge]

Im stuck in the mourningstar chat and i cant change from it

[balmy moat]

in a squad? or in a game?

[wicked wedge]

in game

[balmy moat]

do you have a premade squad also?

[wicked wedge]

No

[balmy moat]

it should fix once you finish the game, but after, jump into the psyhanium to see if it resolves

if not, relaunch the game

[wicked wedge]

its been a issue since hv release

[umbral pond]

How much worse is starting Havoc compared to Heresy?

[vocal nacelle]

Play maelstrom and auric maelstrom pretty much that intensity

[strange thunder]

first 10 of havoc are piece of cake

only hurdle is specific modifiers throwing a wrench in to things

[vocal nacelle]

This is the intensity when the AI director in a good mood

[quaint jacinth]

does the level of the character affect the guns you get?
if i already get a weapon with perfect potential 380 stat distribution but my charcter is only lvl 21 does that make a difference than if i get that weapon at lvl 30?

[balmy moat]

level does affect what initial rating they have and some stat distributions are more or less common depending on where you are, but you can upgrade any weapon to max if the stats are what you want, any time

[thick acorn]

the emperor protects and cares about his subjects

[quaint jacinth]

okay so it does not gimp the maximum potential just lower initial stats?

[balmy moat]

yup

precisely

[warped hollow]

Yeah I did a bunch of them, that seems to be what happened, thanks

[velvet dagger]

did they fix the auspex bug as well where it wouldn't show how close the scan targets are?

[quaint jacinth]

can sire melks limited offers ever give 380 stat weapons?

[fervent relic]

the power distribution depends on your level

on level 30 i'm basically only getting 500

[quaint jacinth]

by 380 i mean the 80/60 perfect stat distribution

[fervent relic]

yes then

but unlikely

[quaint jacinth]

yeah i haven't seen any, all of them are like 73-79 but almost no 80 stat let alone 4

i guess that's cause it tries to give all stats something 70+ which means it can't give 80 to 4 stats cause that would require one to be under 70

[fervent relic]

it can be under 70

[quaint jacinth]

ah okay

[fervent relic]

pretty sure its the same distribution as in brunts, just fully upgraded

[fervent relic]

this is the closest i could find, just clicked through all my characters

[pastel forge]

Yes

[arctic epoch]

So, general question. How do you know when you are ready to go to next difficulty? Like I unlocked Heresy but should I grind some better gear before I go up to heresy? Im currently a trust 19 zealot

[smoky ember]

if you can do malice without dying consistently then ur ready for heresy

[arctic epoch]

I can. I think I need to change my specs around some more to gen more toughness so I am not losing toughness as much though. Right now I only gain toughness through melee

[smoky ember]

what class are you?

[arctic epoch]

Zealot

[thick acorn]

how is the shredder autopistol mastery bug still up

[fervent relic]

Unlucky, chud, the last hotfix of the year already released

Better buy more Aquilas, then maybe they'll fix it in 6 months

[balmy moat]

considering the severe bug we just found, i doubt its actually the last

they said it was "likely the last hotfix" but, i beg to differ

[summer fractal]

I have been attempting to find grimoires/scriptures using guides for locations online.
I have repeated Chasm Station (campaign mission 1) over ten times this morning without a single grimoire/scripture spawn. I ended up caving and installing a mod to help find them. several tries with the mod on and still none are spawning. the only marker i have found for what could potentially be a grimoire or scripture is behind a wall apparently out of bounds. I've been trouble shooting online, other players claim that grims/scrips always spawn no matter what. Am I missing something? Is my game bugged? Am I shit out of luck? Should I just reroll Melk's requisition?

[keen sonnet]

There are only a few grims ik of that spawn consistently and they're only on particular levels, the one where you gotta purge the daemon in the water supply is normally pretty easy to get both on.

I farmed em out a few months back

[clear plume]

Make sure the mission has the books tag, iirc some missions don't have books. Then the books themselves have areas where they can spawn between like 1-4 locations in an area

[keen sonnet]

Yeah grims and tomes are a tag for missions too

[summer fractal]

oh my god thank you

felt like i was going crazy

[strange thunder]

yeah the mod does help as well

grimoires glow as well so they're always easier

[keen flume]

Always check the missions that has side objective with a diamond like icon from the mission terminal

Those are the ones containing the books

[strange thunder]

I dislike their new tab system for the info

[smoky ember]

same

[supple helm]

I don't dislike it

I hate it

[scarlet hazel]

Are mortis trial rewards bugged? I'm playing auric and the plasteel rewards only lets me empower my weapons about 5 times. I really expect more

[keen flume]

Mortis trials barely gets you any materials by the duration of the matches, not really worth to grind from that mode

[cosmic steeple]

how does the bolter compare to the bolt pistol? o.O

is the bolter still semi-auto? 🤔

[keen flume]

Bolter tap fire is burst fire and holding fire is full auto

[cosmic steeple]

thanks :)

[keen flume]

Theres two marks of the bolter too

[cosmic steeple]

marks? :o

like, skins?

[keen flume]

The other mark is more of an aeo and crowd control

[cosmic steeple]

oh :O

[keen flume]

different variants of the weapons

[cosmic steeple]

👍

[cosmic steeple]

burst fire and full auto sound a bit unwieldly though 👀
might just stick with the pistol >:)

[keen flume]

You can change marks by the inventory, you do need to level up the mastery to unlock the marks

[cosmic steeple]

understood! :D

[cosmic steeple]

there are two bolt pistol variants too right? 🤔

[keen flume]

Yes

Same as bolter

[cosmic steeple]

if one is aoe/cc what is the other?

[keen flume]

OG marks hits harder

Also have more ammo

[cosmic steeple]

i like ammo :>

[keen flume]

I only tried bolter mark because I did not liked the bistol mark, the stagger feels pretty low

[smoky ember]

it’s not actually burst fire

it’s just fully automatic when hip firing, and semi automatic when ADS

[cosmic steeple]

on the topic of bolt pistol ammo...
i have a psyker, veteran, arbitrator, and hive scum. how would you rate them from one to four in terms of ammo management for maximum bolt pistol pew pew?

[smoky ember]

you just can’t tap fire it while hip firing

[cosmic steeple]

oh! neat :D

[smoky ember]

hivescum, then vet, then everyone else

but bolt pistol isn’t very good on a ranged built scum

because range scum does best with rapid fire weapons for horde clear to keep desperado up

[keen flume]

I meant more of tap clicking but I am stupid with words

[cosmic steeple]

maybe i will try bolter then 🤔
does the bolter have more ammo than the bolt pistol?

[smoky ember]

it’s okay i’m literally perfect so no worries

[keen flume]

Perfectionist smh

[smoky ember]

yes, bolter has 105 rounds default, bolt pistol has 88 rounds default

[cosmic steeple]

yay :D

[smoky ember]

bolter has a much slower draw time, and a longer reload though

[cosmic steeple]

question: if i delete my beta vet to change her face, will i keep the beta vet items? :o

[smoky ember]

vet’s executioner stance will skip the draw time though

[keen flume]

And you will most likely to waste ammo faster with bolter

[smoky ember]

you can change character appearance

[cosmic steeple]

oh? 👀

[smoky ember]

go to the left when you spawn in the mourning star

[cosmic steeple]

:D

[smoky ember]

there will be a room with the barber chirugeon

[keen flume]

Visit the barber at the far left of the ship

[smoky ember]

and you can change your character appearance

[cosmic steeple]

yay 🥳

[smoky ember]

you can also change your character’s voice with the personality scourge option

but you cannot change character’s gender

[cosmic steeple]

i'm getting "meet the medic" vibes form ths guy xD

[keen flume]

Legit what 80% of the community says

So you not wrong

[chilly warren]

Can anyone tell me about the dodge exploit? The best zealot ive ever seen mention it

[smoky ember]

whuh

dodge exploit?

people don’t really discuss exploits in this server anyway, i think you can get muted or banned for it

[latent girder]

not really an exploit dodging just busted rn

[scarlet hazel]

Indeed you can

[patent jasper]

You mean the experiments change where dodge linger applies to ranged attacks too?

[warped basin]

late response but
I prefer to up in difficulty only after I've reached a survival rate of my current one of about 90%+, ideally if I can also reliably clutch
but since you haven't reached a level 30 character yet, it doesn't really matter; though as a 30 you would be looking to get to damnation and possibly auric
I'm keeping myself at damnation because I haven't quite fleshed out my mechanical yet

[smoky ember]

wait u can?

oops

[arctic epoch]

Thank you

[warped moon]

False

[true wasp]

does anyone know or have a link to coherency info? im specifically wanting to know how much toughness does coherency replenish per stack of coherency you have, and whats its range?

and does it do anything else besides regenerate toughness passively? (not asking about auras and such. specifically base game, no talents auras or whatnot interfering. whats the base game value of coherency before any auras or talents are applied.)

[smoky ember]

check pins, second pin down

this one

[smoky ember]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3318538305

it’s under curio perks

[smoky ember]

the only other thing it does aside from regen toughness is reduce special spawns if you’re in at least one other person’s coherency

at least i think that’s how it works

@clear plume

is that right

and range is shown on the base stats of each class guide in the link

its 8m default on each class

[clear plume]

idk

https://old.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/1mf1osk/the_specials_of_darktide_and_their_inner_workings/

[smoky ember]

yes

[thick acorn]

are the bots really this weak/dumb in darktide?

im trying to solo auric but, unlike vermintide where that's possible since you can build up and manage bot skills, it seems kinda too hard on darktide

[clear plume]

yes

they use same AI Vt but dont have the correct tools

[thick acorn]

that sucks

[vocal nacelle]

Vermintide doesn't have much ranged except special and beastmen

VT2 bots also perform badly when they meet archer

[thick acorn]

yeah, but they are really good at sticking right close to you and handling chaff, so you can deal with specials

also beastmen archers dont deal that much damage even in cata (relatively speaking) and can easily be dodged

darktide bots seem to just eat gunner fire and do nothing about it

[vocal nacelle]

VT have better equipment following the host loadout & talent
DT bot is basic white weapon devil claw + lasgun + base stance with no talent

single archer is fine but when there's 20 beasment archer bots will get confused and just die from ranged attack

[coral crag]

I kinda wish we got to customize our bots, even if they were stuck with basic gear. I hate seeing veteran bots they are generic as hell.

I'd rather go true solo than see another one of those bots.

Especially pair that with being a high difficulty player it just looks so off seeing some prisoner-garb-looking dudes with no actual proper gear.

[vocal nacelle]

maybe in 2 year we will get better bots thats not just vet

[coral crag]

Shredder pistol bug refuses to let me keep the blessings I used on it. How do I fix it without needing to wait for patch?

Aka, get the mastery to stick instead of reverting.

[vocal nacelle]

Apply the mastery wait for while and close the menu if you switch to your inventory it will revert i think

[coral crag]

How do I directly access the mastery menu, or close out of it without going into inventory?

[vocal nacelle]

press esc?

[coral crag]

It didn't work

[vocal nacelle]

[coral crag]

It just refuses to advance the shredder autopistol

Every time I leave the inventory screen

Hell, I even force quitted to desktop without closing the mastery screen, still didn't work

My autism will forever be bothered by this

[vague sedge]

i have no sound and idk why

i check my headset and its on and can has youtube audio

i check the software and its all working

ingame is mute tho

ok nvm the game finally loaded after like 10 minutes of menues and garbage. it was set to the mic instead of the headphone why is that even an option in the dropdown

[thick acorn]

is there a veteran build where you can stay on plasma most of the time like how recon lasgun shocktrooper is, or is plasma just relegated to killing range elite/special then back to melee?

[cosmic steeple]

is all of veteran's ammo management in the Survivalist aura?

[polar forum]

25% bonus ammo talent as well

and also ammo efficiency from buffing ranged capabilities

or using more melee

[cosmic steeple]

arbitrator also has 25% bonus ammo and has lots of reload speed stuff, i guess relaod speed doesn't really help with ammo though 🤔
