spearhead boltgun feels better
this is the build i follow https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9df040b6-b9cd-46eb-8be0-c3dd02afc350/meta-nrgaas-bolter-veteran-havoc-40
since the game has no real sniper, this is the closest thing to one (i hate how hellbore plays)
hang back and get the pesky gunners
pretty low ammo usage too if you can control yourself from just full autoing into big things
jfc
this is bad
really bad
not taking iron will is tantamount to trolling
in general, do not trust gameslantern public builds
is this like the lieing doors from labyrinth? xD
i mean this claims to be a h40 build lmfao
the description also does say the build is not intended for survivability
Cons:
- Not a lot of survivability, but i think it's enough for a ranged character. If not, we are dropping QOL node Volley Adept and taking Exhilarating Takedown for almost constant 30% TDR or classic Iron Will.
anyone who does havoc 40 will know a good build from a non good build
yeah, i've done h40
and i can tell you this build is a mistake
you don't need to do h40 to know that
yeah and im recommending the build to the newbie
and i'm telling the newbie that iron will is very important
i tend to not listen to absolutes
:<

your loss
don't say somebody didn't warn you when you get two shotted by basic horde enemies
when you climb difficulties lol
did i hurt your feelings or something?
no? idc
i'm not the one that's going to be dying 
u hurt his elite gamer nametag
apologize

š¤£
i care more about people spreading misinformation about the game
if you willingly choose to buy into that, then iiwii
i don't think think "sharing a build that suits my playstyle under the written caveat that it is squishy" counts as "spreading misinformation"
tbf, the build could be worse
if u don't play the way he does, ur playing wrong and ur trolling ur havoc 40 endgame team as a new player
R E P E N T

pretty much
though iron will is mandatory even on "squishy" builds
because it's such an impactful talent
and has natural synergies with vet's kit
you can say the talent is impactful, that is very acceptable
saying that it is "mandatory" is toxic
it's that important š¤·
the only time i'd say don't take iron will
is if you haven't leveld up enough to reach it
and we're talking about a talent that FS moved to the top center of the tree, so it's really fucking hard to skip, so even FS thinks you should be taking it
but if this is "toxic", please ignore me
this is confirmation bias
you do you 
def not for new player , tac axe + bolter with bare minimum defensive talent
you can cut right side talent , get 4 point and put it on other talent
Cutting right side is cutting off a few fingers
35% crit, 25% melee finesse, and skirmisher
worth it to.... checks notes. skimp on taking iron will 
and you're also taking superiorty and TFD
already got cavalcade + surgical
the bottom right talents are stupid strong
no reason to drop them
they're strong for melee, blitz and ranged
Is it better to try Obgyn or Zealot after Vet?
Both got different playstyle from vet, melee focus
ogryn plays very differently
Zealot is easier
zealot's closer
Thanks
but i don't think zealot's doing too hot in the meta rn lol
having its lunch eaten by both vet and HIV
Non meta as in other classes can do zealotās job just fine/ better or non meta as in not worth using over other classes?
Zealot doesn't have any standout features besides being basically immortal
Can just vibe and exist 
Oh thatās fine then
I def need something that pushes me to build better melee skills
Light attack spam can only get me so far
Enjoying what you play is more important than what you play being meta
learn the zealot relic blade moveset 
When you get good it stops mattering as much
Yeah zealot is it for that
tactical axe mkvii might be a good starting point
and relic blade mk x maybe
Doesn't autopilot for you but has some nice safety rails to keep you up
yeah zealot's honestly a good class to learn the game with
prob the best class for it
You can make a fatal mistake every 2 minutes
Well
A light fatal mistake
Theres fatal and fatal
Do missions scale with level/ power score?
Iām wondering if Iām trolling my team by bringing lower power weapons to higher difficulties
Fatal as in oopsie overhead and fatal as in oopsie overhead + blocking horde + fire + gas
No
Difficulty is just difficulty
Stuff will be harder if your gear sucks but thats because your gear suck
as long as you can kill stuff and it doesnt take 3 business day to kill something
Alright
killing a poxwalker with 8+ hit , def not the answer
But zealot is for melee what vet is for guns
They can juice anything enough for it to be good
avoid martyrdom 

or stealth
real men play marty
and worse stealth + martyrdom
Martyr is fun
Ride the line but you get to use any weapon you want and destroy things
it is fun if you know what you are doing
what does this symbol under a mission mean?
it's there on Damnation but not on Auric - and I haven't completed an Auric mission yet with this character.
the highest difficulty you've completed that mission with any character I think
ah ok that would make sense
are both marks of shiv as fast as the other? like equal attack speed?
no, one is faster
Mk3 lights are faster.
Is that the metal shards one or the corkscrew one
shards
how does empowering work
does it increase each stat by 1 % per enhance?
and what happens if 4 out of 5 stats are already maxed does it still only enhance the remianing stat by 1% or will it get a boos?
It randomly hands out stats till it hits the right number at 500.
randomly? it shows me 1% increase to all stats
so is it not actually 1%?
Is random every lvl.
Sometimes it skips one to put more in another.
But the number on the right is what it will hit by the end.
At 500.
im asking about these
Yes, the damage went up by 2%. It basically hands them out randomly till the weapon hits power lvl 500 as the number on right.
You see the faint greyed out number? That's the cap.
so the % increase it shows is actually random and not what it shows but it doesn't matter anyway because once the weapon hits 500 all the stats will be maxed?
No, is as it shows, but each upgrade is random. It will be maxed at 500, yes.
so it can start with 1% at a time
but at the end it will be bigger because it has to max out by the end
im asking cause some weapons stat at like 1/80
and i curious if it would actually take 80 upgrades to max it
Yes. Once a stat is maxed, more pour into another.
but a weapon starting at 320 will take 18 upgrades to max all the stats out regardless of what number they start at?
You don't need to worry about that but yep.
Is why cheaper to wait till 30.
You can roll 340-380 weapons
If it's 500, it will always be 380% of stats distributed to all 5 stats.
well im trying to roll for pefect stats
Then care only for the right side number.
so most of the ones u get from the armoury are around 320
It will always reach it at 500.
If it doesn't, you got Fatsharked.
A.k.a. bug.
But that should be rare if it happens.
Yep. But you don't need to worry about the left number, only the right one. A 1/80 will be 80/80 at 500.
yes i understand it now, thanks
do damage resistances from curios stack?
yeah the only time you need to think about empowering is when you're going for a dump stat lower than 60%, like with really low warp resistance on psyker weaps, while the rest are at 80%
multiplicatively, so they are less effective the more you use
I wouldn't use more than 2 stacks of something
like gunner
how about the toughness regen speed?
that one is bait, don't use it ever
it only affects coherency regen
not toughness gained from talents or blessings
oh
it's another fatshark wording problem
what is corruption resistance?
it was useful at one point in this game, before talent trees
anything that can cause purple wound damage
I wouldn't bother with that
the most useful genaralist perks to take on curios are 5% toughness, 5% health, ability cooldown, stamina regen, revive speed, and damage resist ones
rest are niche, only useful when leveling, or just bad
thanks ā¤ļø
The only time you will think about that is blight havocs.
the best way to combat corruption is to not get corruption damage
And really, just have a beacon zealot or a supply ganger.
If it's blight, unavoidable.
I mean you can still avoid it as much as possible
instead of stacking resist curios and taking a dip in it
it still falls in to the niche category and I wouldn't bother with it
Sometimes you just have no choice. Like I said, a supply ganger or Beacon Zealot will be better but 'supports' are kinda rare.
Is just niche yeah. Also memes in a way for certain builds.
Hey, does anyone know why the ammo count isn't maxed out despite the stat being 80/80?
https://ibb.co/gb5bKn8C (image sharing service cause you're not allowed to attach images directly here without 100 messages first??)
Doesn't it show the max for 100, even though it's impossible to reach?
Max is 80%
That would be really fucking stupid if true
how did i just get this penance completion when i didn't even have volley fire equipped, i had the voice of command instead
is it because it's a really old penance before the skill tree rework and the game actually just checks for any activated ability?
It's buggy, if you get a bot in the game... you will somehow always +1 every mission.
As long as you are on vet.
+1 what?
The penance.
that specific penance?
or any random one?
or what do you mean
also i was in a full team with no bot
Volley fire penances in general.
lol
Another vet with it can also do it.
Do you know if they're planning to set max to 100% in the future? Or is it just gonna stay like this?
God do I know the spaghetti code in this game.
Nobody but FS staff knows.
from what i have heard the calculations are done as if it 100% it just shows 80% to us
we are pesants and don't deserve more
Gotcha, thanks for clarifying. I just bought the game on sale recently so I'm new
do what, if they complete the mepance it is given to me as well?
also what even is a weapons "secondary action"
on most ranged weapons it's like a butstock push or stab or flashlight
how would you kill with it
More, if you do it when they have it active, it might trigger for you.
It's jank as kark.
Rmb/left trigger.
Assuming stock.
ADS or brace.
The melee or flashlight is special.
wait just ADS counts?
aiming down sight is a secondary action lol okay i didn't consider that
Yes, you ads and shoot.
Just FS descriptions is potato.
yeah it really is
which is the best +25% damage perk for the recon las gun?
under what conditions does smite not stagger
died to a crusher overhead the other day because my smite was on him long enough to get staggered, yet he didn't
How much harder is Damnation than Heresy?
If target was staggered recently, there's an immunity period.
I think it's crushers only.
things hit you harder, and have more hp, but if you're doing fine in heresy, damnation shouldnt be too huge of a gap to cross. if you're barely scraping by in heresy tho, damnation will be more of a struggle
just make sure your gear is relatively decent, and that you have basic skills down like pushing bursters, dodging nets and attacks, and you'll be just fine most of the time
what, karien
dont stare, speak

better to think as the percentages as 100+whatever the stat is
a 0% stat on a gun doesn't mean 0 in something, only 100%
while the max is 180%
thematically they're all refurbished from the battlefield, so they're not new by any means
I already solved this issue by installing a mod that fixes the max stat preview at the 80% value
yeah the point is more so that it's not something to fix
just typical fatshark wording
mod in question btw: https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/235
is this mod?
yes scoreboard
with the ovenproof plugin
Anyone up for helping a relative noob with doing On Overwatch? Iāve been butting heads with this challenge for a few days now.
I'm always staring. Also. I just panic my way through, it works.
Well, you can join. Just jump off at the start so we just finish it without picking you up if youw anna do the cheese. Unless they fixed it.
Sounds good to me. Iāll take any way out of this challenge. How am I joining?

any idea if this is a mod issue
I presume it is, but which mod
mods in use
did you update numericUI
ye, last week iirc
also i did see mention that ovenproof might be standalone now, if og scoreboard is broken, if not, i think syllo has posted a temp patch for scoreboard somewhere, but, not certain
ye I've got that temp patch
by see mention i mean on the mod page
hmm
weapon swap should be fine, its updated now too but didnt crash... only other thing there im not familiar with is stimcooldown but i presume thats made specifically for scum, so
is this a repeating crash
yeah, it's to have a countdown on the hud element instead of the very dim progress bar
maybe once a day
stim cooldown causes no crashes for me
might just be the game then tbh
i dont have mine saved but it looks like a crash i had a few days ago
usually on mourningstar but now it happened in game for the first time
idk, verify files?
happened when i got downed during a clutch and someone logged out to spawn a bot
that happened for me as well now
same situation?
ye
i havent had it happen yet, but i also havent had to clutch and gotten downed much, but, it saying its trying to unload something, maybe either player specific or cosmetic specific, or some other data, rather than mod related...
hm that does sound plausible
i do not feel like hunting down code but maybe that has hints
can't be asked either, I do it enough at work already
anyone else having trouble rendering some things?
happens on different textures + the screen blood splatters
The shredder pistol bug is going to forever piss me off until it gets fixed
ok random question, and honestly with 250 hours i probably should know this but
can someone explain the mastery system? like, yeah, level up weapons- get blessings- but i recall that they used to be a limited resource
the blessings themselves- to get more, you had to sacrifice other weapons with that blessing
i can no longer find that option- does this mean that once i've unlocked a blessing on a weapon it's not an expendable resource?
What's the bug?
Can't continue mastery. Always resets to the last one
Every time you leave inventory
The blessings just get reset back to the last one
For example, adding pinning fire, but pinning fire doesn't stay, nor does the blessing progression
yeah you just apply blessings you've unlocked to that weapon through hadron
yeah there's not much RNG or anything left with weapons
you just roll for the dump stat you want and then max them out from there
I think curios are the only thing left with some RNG, and even then it's not a crazy amount
yeah it's an annoying part for not much gain
anyone else pushing poxbursters but they still land with a bellyflop??
How do i make sure my havoc teammates arenāt braindead and die in the first 5 minutes of the match?
They even left as i was picking one up, pissed me off
does the +1 wound curio mean i can get revived 1 extra time
anyone having this issue unable to run DT?
(i know i can launch it, but it has an error in the splash screen)
Among other things, conditions dependant, yes
Sort of
is it worth using?
Only of you're martyrdom zealot
You should be focusing on things that prevent you from going down, not on what happens after you go down
Iām actually never getting past havoc 21 fml
What does the Elite perk count towards?
Is it anything highlighted? Excluding those bosses with a special health bar? Or does it also include bosses?
What does monstrosity count for? Etc...I have not seen any good videos or guides that point them out.
check zealot chat pins
Ah
kuli guide or mine
And what about where each enemy is armored. I know I saw something like that before
.
Jesus....thats some info! So, is there something that does more damage to disables? Or the captains?
Kuli guides about enemy stats
I looked. However was not able to find which perk increases damage to those
Base armor type
Most specials are maniac
Monsters are unyielding
Captain is flak
shotgunners, gunners, ragers, ogryns, maulers, plasma gunners
+specials
but you never really need that
most specials are maniac
and the only one that isnāt (dog) takes like 3x damage from melee
flamers, mutants, dogs, bombers
all take more damage from melee
that would make sense if smite didn't stunlock reliably, which it does
no ruining the game pace in this lobby
just highly confused by what happened in my situation, as I'm used to "if I hold this button for two seconds or longer, nothing in front of me gets to do anything"
the veteran has a skill where pinging an enemy makes them yellow and they take more damage
i just had a game where one was spamming the ping 20 times per second on the same target, the sound was very annoying
is there some kind of special reason for that?
i thought it's based on charges and i can't imagine he is generating 4 charges per frame to make that spamming worth it?
Itās not worth to spam considering the stacks on the first target get wasted
better to wait til target dies then retag
at most youād get a whole 5% dmg boost spamming with focus target
so him spamming was just annoyance and not any actual benefit
people just put ping on mouse wheel without any self-control
helps when playing dog, otherwise is just convenience of not having to press the button in
does the second ping overwrite the first pings bonus?
so you just destory the benefit of the skill by spamming the ping
is there any fix to pinging location not working at times? (double tap, not wheel)
Try pressing tab/back or picking up/interacting with something.
is there a special place to ask for help with a penance?
Here, class mains, asking in vox regions or just in general.
what folder does the mod_load_order.txt have to be in?
mods
im a bit confused about the mod framework
it says to install it in the mods directory
but there is no mods directory by default and it itself contains a mods directory
You're supposed to just extract the Mod Framework zip to the Darktide root directory, it'll then bring the mods directory in to that directory
yeah i assumed that's what they meant because that makes sense
yo guys
is the 4K Aquilas for 5 Euro worth it if I currently don't have anything I want with Aquilas?
should I just yoink it before it disappears?
actually wait
yes
ok but
currently not sure which character I should buy Krieg outfit for
because I like Ogryn
but I also like Vet sorta
It's perma once per account from what I know.
hmm
well I already got it
but like
TBH, the only Gasmask that actually looks good is the Vet one
because apparently nobody else knows what a helmet is
I made my choice
full Krieg set for Vet, but also the Welding mask specifically for my Ogryn
To be fair, cosmetics is taste. I'll always favor the Commissar hats.
those are excusable because Commissars need to look good
Zealots and Psykers however have no excuse, and Ogryn even less
Psykers just make psychic force shields anyway.
Psykers need to protect their damn heads more than anyone else
plus, with how much Zealots fight up close, a little defense against getting stabbed in the head can't hurt
Faith is my shield.
and my face is my shield
Ok but your name is right
if Maulers can get it, I want one
same for Gunners getting Hotshots
also, unrelated but still
give Ogryn a Heavy Bolter
to balance it and make it make sense, make it look super damaged and badly maintained
if you try to fire for too long, it jams due to being old AF and generally how Ogryns use guns
is unyelding better armor than unarmored?
Yes
There's probably at least one weapon type and/or talent combo that gives you a better damage mod vs unyielding than unarmored but basically everything does the most damage to unarmored
cool bug
that isn't the normal damage either right?
anyone else having insane issues on EU servers? enemies are sliding all over the flow (even through walls) getting pox gas damage even when not standing in any cloud. not getting hitmarkers either.
Slide
ive only played inferno psyker f or 100 hours so far
how do i play the smite psyker?
Play melee psyker 
hey whats the most efficient way to farm plasteel nowadays? what do you guys do?
im new :3
smite should be only used to reposition when cornered by armor
so short bursts that staggers the armor long enough to get out of that corner
anything more then that will often hurt the team
Smite is fun but its design is counter productive for learning the game if you're new
which is why we had a bunch of people complaining about assail auto winning the game on the easier difficulties when class overhaul first came out
Y'all, a good modlist I should get? Wanting to get mods to customize and improve shit for gameplay (I have sucked into this game and there's no way back. Now I need to fuel my heretic slaying addiction.)

is 2.5% toughness regen per second a flat 2.5 toughness, or does it scale with the base toughness of my class, or does it scale with my max toughness?
it scales off your max toughness total
@quasi ledge I meant disconnect when I said "DC" not "devils claw" btw. you did great there, and devils claw is good 
I have to shorten messages since I have to type on controller 
Plus 1 is max
21% for hp
17% for toughness
Plus 3 for stamina (needs rating 410 or higher)
Wounds is plus 1
wounds have incredibly limited uses as well, should not rely on them to "survive"
Do not use spidey sense unless u like cheating
so I'm playing smyker wrong by holding smite onto as big + dangerous of a group of enemies for as long as possible while my team chews through them to provide horde clear and turn crushers/ragers/maulers into a complete joke, and I'm sure you'll tell me why
do not use spidey sense unless you like not getting fucked over by Fatshark's bugged audio and dying to poxbursters/dogs producing zero sound, good advice
yes 
Skill issue
Cheaters use every excuse they can
what are those special skulls you can find in missions
i wanna search if there are any penance related to them
Martyr skull, yes there's a penance for it
why did noone tell me i could get 4000 aquilas for 2 dollars
i fucking love regional pricing
How?

the perks of living in a shithole
cheating in a coop PvE game lmaoooo, keep grasping at straws
That's why it's even worse to some. You understand it in PvP even when it's technically worse there.
I can't be bothered to explain this again, literally don't care about some random person's outrage when I'm not breaking any game rules or TOS
the mental gymnastics are amusing though
If a mod makes the game more fun for me I'm installing it
Anyone who's bothered is cordially invited to cry about it
Yup cheating in a pve game is truly
ah ok, guy's just baiting out of boredom
so me and friend both tried adding mods, and we both crash consistently after 5 min exactly
we just played toghether and both crashed at the same time
is this an issue others have too?
What mods
is it not updated on the nexusmods?
No
ooh
Otherwise you'll crash anytime someone picks up ammo
yep i noticerd exactly i crached when i picked up ammo
could you send me an invite to the modding discord in dm's or here
thank you
oh thanks, seems it was a well known issue
I'm using it mostly just so I can get a hang of "where the fuck is that random trapper that spawned in that somehow blended with the crowd and is going to fuck me over?!"
Plus I don't have the best attention span when it comes to specials so it will help until I get a hang of it.
These are my only excuses I don't really use it to cheat much otherwise.
Also this too.
I swear to God there are random points in time when the audio gets fucky wucky and I can't hear that one special that is going to fuck a run over.
dont care about if its cheating or not
its helpful but if ur a bad player ur still going to die
and it makes up for the complete audio channel overload that happens all the time
I heavily agree.
I'm not a bad player at all I just fucking hate sudden trappers that I couldn't hear ahead of time. If I die to a trapper that I know was there that's my damn fault.
i have 19/20 special assignments completed, is there a way to find which mission isn't complete?
mission terminal, special assignment playlist
Yes, i have that open, but nothing sticks out. Are incomplete missions marked in any way?
interestingly.... yes theres a giant x over them... however, i have also now noticed i too have 19/20, but everything is done
im guessing they fucked up the coding, as per usual fatshark
well thats makes me feel better. thanks
do arbites or hive scum give a bonus grenade? just had a game where i noticed i had 5 fraks as veteran
You probably played an Enhanced Blitz Maelstrom
Anyoneās else confirmed for the scum stim pacs still not dropping? I thought that was patched out
so my buddy and i have cleared havoc 30 a long time ago, with the dodge bug we are thinking of giving the grind a second go to see if we can get any farther. what two builds should we take to ensure we'll get added to havoc groups?
If were going based off what partyfinder groups look for bubble psyker, taunt ogryn, book zealot and voc vet
thank you!
Do you mean the welcome package? That's a one time thing
do you get credit for unlocking higher difficulties if a friend drags you into them before theyre unlocked
You get credit for the current difficulty you're unlocking
right
so you dont HAVE to do malice to unlock heresey?
you can get drug into heresy to unlock heresy
If you have friends yea
So itll make progress on their current highest difficulty so like if they only have uprising and you do auric or something it'll make progress towards unlocking malice for them
ok i keep booting up the game and everytime i get a black game play screen
hud is there
the game itself is there
but its black
i can even see other players tags in the lobby
but my vision is black
people online keep saying something about this hapening when you switch drivers but i havent done that
ive had the same set up since purchase and this issue started yesterday, managed to get 98 hours on before this happened
i deleted the config file people say to delete, null, reinstall, nope, checked file integrity, uh uh, so im kinda at a loss rn cuz i aint super tech savvy asides from diving into files with intsruction
sounds like driver issue?
it's likely precisely because you haven't done that
update your drivers, first step in troubleshooting any graphical issue
Tried to do so in the past
tried rolling back to driver version that worked before?
what are the rules for respawn mechanics? specifically, is it possible to walk back behind trigger points when someone dies to get them to respawn at a prior point?
does it choose the respawn point when they die, or when they're available to pick up?
The latter
i see, ty
is there a list of the respawn trigger points/boss trigger points somewhere btw
i know a few common ones but
seems sometimes like i didn't get a memo lol
is there a way in game or a mod to turn off cross platform play?
no that should be all server side
None I would know of - it mostly comes down to map knowledge, unfortunately
these icons under the mission select used to show completed difficulty but not how i remember them looking
and i can't find any posts talking about the changes, google only shows me old pics
anyone got a link that shows them?
(new)
(old)
you need a mod for that
Beat me to it damn
this video has it listed below only works solo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2iAXHR58KU&list=LL&index=72

/respawn_beacons...
if you want to backtrack for a near spawn on havoc be careful how far you went back
spawns a bulwark armada at some point yeah? i've heard of this.. never gone out of my way to trigger it 
what's the best class and build to solo mortis trials?
the bots kinda ass
anything with good horde clear and decent enough boss damage would work
thammer zealot, gun psyker, something along those lines
hardest part would be keeping stuff off you to do scanning objectives, so possibly a shroudfield zealot to keep stuff off you, probably with stun grenades as well for extra assist in said tasks
yo guys
I like Vet and Ogryn
I really wanna play another class because I've gotten to level 30 with both
wot closs do I progross
I have Scum, but not Arbys
flip a coin or something
its highly recommended to level every class to 30
to learn more about the game
Just oggy will work imo. Hard parts are the corruptors if you don't run knoife or at least club if you don't wanna waste bullets.
I've been having issues breaking through in Havoc where they've started spawning lots of the captains; what are some efficient ways for dealing with them on a class by class basis? I'm used to just Focus Targeting and Krak grenading / crit thunderhammering but neither of these methods seem particularly effective. It's really roadblocking me, epsecially when heaven forbid they spawn three of them.
chain weapons are p good at taking down their shields
Is it to do with the multi-hit? (the shredder thing)
psyker can basically block indef with kinetic deflection
yes
shields basically just want lots of hits
heavies are usually wasted
Shields have a limit on how much damage they can take in a single hit
Losing powersword/shovel/relicsword/thunderhammer is a pretty substantial loss tbh
So fast hits work better than an empowered thrust heavy
usually captains arenāt enormous threats, focus on clearing everything around, then the entire team can burst the captain down really quickly
heavy eviscerator is still a p good option compared to thunderhammer
yah with thammer you just spam normal lights into the shield until it breaks
but they're a team obstacle
I'll give it a go on this next run
H20+ is noticeably getting spicier and I am struggling to understand some of the game systems (e.g. the captain shields)
with evis if you have chastise and are using mk3, a chastise revved L1 will actually deal more damage to the head, and quicker, than a revved H1
itās either more or about equal damage
itās got to do with how captain shields pop up when they take damage
How do you usually setup your evis?
for havocs i suggest perfect strike and shred, with blazing piety
perfect strike multiplies your cleave by 4x and allows you to cleave carapace on crits
so against rager, mauler, crusher, and bulwarks
you donāt get stuck sawing and eat damage
with flak elites as the perks
captains only spawn from boss triggers (progression checkpoints in maps). Twins have their own unique spawn locations. This just means that you can choose when to fight captains or twins when you learn where they can spawn. They do not spawn randomly. Captains void shields have a damage cap around 10-15% iirc. So fast weapons that deal good void damage break their shield fast, then the captain health itself isnt damage capped, so its possible t o1 shot captains with things like thunderhammer, just need to remove the bubble 1st. Twin's bubble has a 50% damage cap, so a hard hitting melee can 2 tap them, then the Twins hp is capped at 20% so its better to have faster hard hitting melee.
š«” Thank you all for your guidance.
how do i get a lot of wounds for martyrdom without just straight up getting downed 5 times?
Try walking into fire puddle of a fire barrel. Or just generally exploding yellow barrels point-blank.
at worst you'll trigger until death and then regen back the health with holy revenant
it's also not only purple wounds
fire barrel
you can just lose reg health and have no corruption damage taken
how do you make it so other people can see what havoc level your party's at in the party finder?
you have to have your havoc mission selected when hosting a search
easiest to do that is just to go to havoc terminal and search for ppl through that
What do you mean by "have the mission selected"?
fire barrels are the easiest way, but you can also just got get shot a bunch to proc until death
then go melee to get it back via holy revenant
Works like vt2 zealot, buff depends on how many health left not how many times you get downed
Yeah the wounds don't have to be corrupted
any tips for when playing havoc on a really high difficulty and then you start to get overwhelmed like too much visual noise and a lot of sounds so you can't make up stuff and understand whats going on which makes you end up dying?
Not specifically for havoc, but I turned down some settings at the bottom of the settings menu for things like amount of blood and body parts. Helps a bit
mods and disable all effect or set it to minimum
unless you play on console
Could someone help me do the no damage penance on a malice mission for veteran?
I can help cheese it, just need your fatshark code. Social menu then press E
0968732627****
is this where you invite him at the very end of a mission? Does that even work?
I have him jump off the map at the start
š«”
lol
What's the best way to get more Dockets? Just playing normally, or is there some trick to getting a bunch quick?
The highest level difficulty you can succeed at and joining games already started. And +10% ordo dockets on all three curios
Gotcha. Thank you for the speedy response!
I keep getting "Disconnected from Server error 2004" when I try to play
SOS
when I pick class I mean
it happens with all the classes
D:
ok it just went away I'm saved
Does this give me more Diamantine?
I need it so bad I am so poor
It'll give you more of everything except melk bucks
so yes
yay
whats the current best build/class to get Auric Storm Survivor? Zealot? Arbites? Something else?
Depends what you're good with and what fits that specific team
fair enough
But zealot and arbi are probably good options. Good survivability, without the risk of some classes
I'm hoping to do the same penance with my zealot this weekend
Ogryn
Avoid gloriana
My OSHA cant be this violated 
What OSHA? This is Warhammer. Lemming army exists even,
i forgot in my tired slog last night i went gambling
only 1mil dockets short of where i was
huh
sleepy me was cooking
Something immeasurably complex for your feeble mind 
Does anyone in a strike team maybe have 5 minutes to please help me cheese "On overwatch" on rolling steel, sorry to ask but having trouble getting a team together to help me
My understanding is that I can just YEET myself off the train right at the start and stay dead for the whole round and it'll pop? Or do I need to be kept a-danglin' ?
Just not be rescued.
ok so basically just die and then watch the rest of the round play out
Yes. Die by ledging.
You clearly never got hit nor can be.
So... herp.
Excellent thanks for the info, just need a strike team now if anyone fancies it? I suppose that's true, you absolutely didn't get hit, not once š
I can't get "On Overwatch" and the one with the 3 batteries in 5 seconds, those are pretty much the only 2 I have left š
I did no hit in damnation. Though how I play is so gambly, that's rare.
That and 300 ping is spicy.
nice, i'm getting older so my reactions aren't good enough to not get hit once š even after 400 hours in the game
My reaction speed died like 5 years ago.
I still miss my teen years heh.
20s are bad, 30s are better, same thing but you just stop caring what anyone thinks of you haha
yeah, 1991 here D:
I feel your pain xD
Why reflexes ded in the ground.
Yeah I tried to play Guitar hero in an arcade a couple of years ago after being good at it 15 years ago
I was quickly humbled
Missed everything?
every. single. note
XD
Anyway. I can try to solo it with bots if you want to gamble on if my reflexes hold or not.
that would be awesome if you were willing to try man, think heresy with 2 bots might be tough though
I'll see if I can rope in another chum
It's malice.
ahh well that would be awesome man if I may add you via friend code
You finish your mission first.
Ty!
Ok finished that mission
would the 2 bots not try and revive me though? maybe you need a team of 4?
No. Bots never rescue. Is why is harder to duo.
Uhh, wot?
sry I can't hear you my game is muted for some reason and I can't get it to unmute, something weird i've done in the serttings of PS5, i'll change my char to veteran
Just strike 100
ok accepted, yeah can see you talking just can't hear it
Thus, Discord strike team.
Go to 10.
Is easier to get to on consoles.
You are deafened and muted.
Great. Also deafened.
Unplug your headset and plug it back in
Mine are analogue. I'm on pc.
Thanks so much @shadow skiff and @woeful axle ! It's a Christmas miracle!
Do you guys think the best way to get "kill 120 in 30 seconds" is to get a strike team on mortis trials ?
It's not that hard to set up if you need help with it
That would be amazing man if you had 15 mins to play a mortis trial?
sry i can't hear or speak on DT for some reason, can go in a strike channel if you want to chat or i'm ok just using the in game chat
I can't vc either. In-game is fine
no worries man
thinking i'll go with duelling sword on zealot cause it carves through stuff really well
ah ok, infinite poxburster spawn makes sense
think i got 90 not 120
can we restart and i will pick flamer?
think it will be more effective
So....for the Orthus secret bell puzzles, can you do them in lower difficulties and it will unlock for you?
or do you have to do them in Auric difficulty?
to unlock the bells you can do the puzzle on any difficulty
but to acess the hard mode with the bell skip you need to be in damn/auirc
what if you hti the bells over the amount of times
then you restart
and where in the level do you see
the amount of times needed to ring the bell?
it syas its in the gas chamber, but i dont know where that is
Hello Varlets!
A quick video detailing how to unlock Hard Mode on the new Orthus Offensive special mission!
By ringing all the bells correctly and completing the mission, you unlock an altar at the start of subsequent missions which allows you to immediate skip ahead to just before the boss fight!
Credit to Combine00 for releasing a guide so...
just follow this
do you have to wait for the bells to stop swinging?
you need to hear the ding to count as a hit and then when you hear the whooosh (or whatever sound it makes) stop hitting it
Thanks! I got it!
After I finish campaign then what ?
play and get better, you can get level 30...unlock Auric level
essentially the maps are always the same, if you did this just to finish maps, then your done! you beat the game. However, the replayability is in the difficulty, and challenge.
after you finish the campaign thats when you start getting good at the game
the true endgame is slowly getting better and better at the game
and trying all kinds of wacky builds
what, where and when can i find Grimoires or Scriptures to pick up?
(for weekly contracts)
Make sure the mission has the side objective to collect grims or scrips
Otherwise they won't spawn
There is also a mod to reveal their locations in missions
thank you so much
How do you unlock Havok?
do a maelstrom
What's a good melee weapon to pair with a recon lasgun for Veteran?
Something that can deal with Carapace and horde since recon doesn't do those
Power sword and the axes are 1st to come to mind
the strat when my team is dead is to backpedal, look for resources and cut hordes to slowly clear them, or am I missing something
Really depends on the situation
But yeah it generally pays to fall back a bit to an area where you can kite the threats which killed your team
haven't been in a situation where rushing to res would be the play, generally my team being unable to deal with the existing amount of enemies is what results in me needing to attempt to clutch
Depends a lot on what map you're on and where you're at on the map
Like if you are near the start of Gloriana on the catwalks
I would just run to the first objective and kite there
Because it's a lot safer than the catwalks
Or if you just came out of an elevator, there is no "falling back"
You kind of have to find a way forward
In other words, it's not as simple as fallback or rush for rez
fair point, so generally don't attempt to move forward unless moving back isn't optimal
I was more curious about other general ideas to think about when that happens because it's annoying to even be in that situation outside havoc
There are some more nuanced plays you can make if you are more familiar with maps too
Like if you fall back far enough you can change the rescue points of others
To somewhere closer
It's the reason map knowledge is the true skill check once you get good enough at combat
true, assuming I can think ahead enough, it's kind of difficult to predict three teammates dying and plan ahead from that, I only have some 300 hours
just wondering if there's more to be done; I usually do my best to stay in coherency, babysit my psykers/backline when not playing as one, adjust to what my team is doing
people like to not pay attention, get tunnel vision etc, don't want to be "that guy" to do callouts and most people don't listen anyway (as opposed to havoc, which I don't play, but have seen that everyone's expected to know what they're doing so there's no need)
Yep, just keep your head on a swivel and you're doing more than most
yea my general awareness seems fine to me so I need to focus on some mechanics, I get chipped way too often, need to block more instead of trying to dodge everything
Hi! First time on this server. So yesterday I ruined 4/5 auric maelstorm survivor run bcs of randoms, and after reasonable crashout, I tried again today. On 3/5 I was propelled to see the Holy Emperor by Beast of Nurgle. Please help me. I will be at strike team 15. Playing HivesCum (ill teamplay I promise). Lvl 30(+45). Language EN RU CZ (Better EN). Thanks
Where do i get a working scoreboard mod ?
mod nexus
the home of all darktide mods
This mod is bugged on mod nexus ... I tried it
It crashes the game
there are multiple
I chose the newest
and some require other mods
I have the others already
then this would be something to inform the creator about. i presume the bugs section of the page for that specific mod would be the easiest way
Thx dude
there is a fix for it in the darktide modders discord and then I'd suggest also getting the updated overproof plugin to it as well
file in question #1079236663840100453 message
scoreboard still isn't up to date on Nexus? like why
buggy?
it's prob abandoned, since the plugin for it is also abandoned, and the one ppl get on nexus is a community patch
it also hasn't broke in previous updates
is there a way to change the gameās language?
Might be related to Steam language.
i already changed it but the gameās stay the same
There's a guide to change it. The perma way is system language and regional format. The other way is editing user_setting.config . There should be two language reference (language_id = <your language>), maybe more. Change to the language to what you want. Make sure to read only it or it will reset. Do note read only will make it so you cannot change options ingame.
Use en-gb or en-us for English.
does attack speed affect heavy attack charge speed
yup
ill be at team 21
Does anyone know how am I supposed to get abhor the mutant, i was trying to complete that over and over but it doesn't count for some reason
You have to get the kill before you make physical contact with them
If its the penance I think it is
Hi. if my pc has 24 cores how many worker threads should i be setting?
One below your maximum normally speaking. Lower it by 1 again if you're consistently crashing.
if all 4 people in a party crash at the same time, is the mission gone? was doing havoc but it crashed during reconnect and there's no option to do so anymore and they're not in my previous missions/recently played with social tab
yes will get mission aborted pop up
As a veteran, I want to use mainly my gun. At the moment, because of the ammo efficiency perks available, I am trying to stick to lasguns. What combo(s) would be best for this? Combo being gun and melee weapon.
Helbore is prob the best pick for that
get headhunter or surgical blessing on your weapon
And what melee would I pair with the hellbore?
shovel for krieg cosplay
I'll dig around for one
i think tac axe was vet's best option for ranged-centric build
iirc
requires the least talent input to be good
yup, hard to go wrong with a tac axe
idk man i know fuck all about tac axe besides the optimal blessings being brumentum and headtaker
fellas is there anyway to hold dodge momentum into a jump?
a what
like dodge and keep the momentum in a jump
No there isnt
bcs i cant figure out how to dodge and not have the jump lose me all the speed
man that is so wack xd
but ty ill stop trying now
jumping in this engine stops most if not all speed
yeah im leaning a lot into mobility on hivescum and tryna leverage everything i can
you wanna try bulletjumping in darktide?
ledge jumps are funny on scum
apex superglide š
Actually it's called titanfall superglide š¤
lmao that one is funny
oh god oh fguck
please no dont boil me
there is literally no other point to jumping apart from avoiding one fire tick or mantling then right..?
yes
ok thank you
you can jump in front of barrel to propel yourself into the abyss 
barrel and mutie tech
i forgot if plague ogryn charge can yeet you like rat ogre punch in VT2, never tried it
My favorite gamba is seeing where the mutie will throw me
yes ish
not as potent as VT
but it does exist
maybe hivescum have longer yeet distance
terrain seems to be the main factor of it
im a profficient barrelmancer already worry not hehehe
oh yeah thats what a jump isnt bad for actually
Yes
Even the stomp
if someone in a havoc mission ragequits, can it crash the party where everyone disconnects?
the reamining 3 of us all D/C at once, and it says we cant start a mission until the previous one ends... but nobody is in it- the guy is now offline
so when does it 'end'?
10-30 min
srsly? thats a known bug?
Ragequit cant crash the whole team could be other issue
cause it keeps saying someone is in the mission and needs to cancel it
and nobody knows who
literally just have to wait it out, its a known issue where the server just kinda has a panic attack and kicks the group, without shutting down the match
what we usually do is run another mission just to pass the time, since it could be within a few minutes, or yeah, after a normal auric mission length, about 20, 25 minutes
Interacting with the havoc board makes it go away faster
If the full team who has the error message interacts with the board, I've had it go away in 2 min
I've been told that DoT damages are affected by +25% DMG modifiers from the weapon you currently wield? Is this true?
It is.
My whole life has been a lie
it also is affected by some blessings
applying dots, then uncanny from for example the duelling blade go pretty hard.
if its inferno you mean, please use force sword push attack, pls and thank you
for your own sanity and efficiency
How do I prevent error 2014?
Three times in a row it's disconnected me at the end of missions and I don't get the completion credit
hey newbie question but i just got my first mastery question but i see i still do not have enough points to get all of the blessing, is this by design or am i missing something?
Except if you have the shredder bug 
which is?
The last mastery point you assigned will not be saved once you exit the mastery menu. Even if you achieve mastery 20 one of your blessings will remain level 3
I have it, and I've seen some other people mention it
This only happens to the shredder pistol btw
what causes this issue
request approved on party finder but no popup shows and i cant join strike team
I've noticed that sometimes cooldown reduction from stimms (concentration and Scum's special stimm) dont apply any cooldiwn reduction in the meat grinder. does anyone know if this is exclusive to the meat grinder or also occurs in matches?
hey ! what clas sis the best melee class actually ? principally to bash mob and nuke horde and tons of them !
Zealot, ogryn, arbites
Depends on the weapon and build
if u got a build melee for zealot, to slay tons off horde mobs, i appreciate it ! š
I'm back on this game after a hot second. I have a build with the killing power I want. I'm a full ranged veteran using the heavy laspistol. I go down a fair wack during heresy games and it's usually because I tried to stand and fight while everyone else has already moved on. I'm a bit flimsy and I'm not sure if I'm just not supposed to try that as a veteran or at all, or if I'm just bad at it.
you can run recon lasgun with a crit build and basically never have to pick up ammo again
I mean, the heavy laspistol is doing perfect on the ammo front, I just need to live
recon will kill things better so survivability isnāt as big of an issue
Lemme give it a try then
unfortunately i do not have a build for you
because i do not play vet
but you can probably go ask in vet chat
I should just be able to change out the heavy laspistol I have on for a recon since I am running a crit lasgun build
prolly
but it doesnāt hurt to ask for build advice
it could be some talents to switch around to help with survivability
which melee weapon you want
You shouldn't try to stand and fight for too long if you cannot solo. Best to just push and slide to the team before you get cornered and stuck since most pubs won't return to help.
canceled april fools event prob
just out of curiosity - i know it's not necessary - but is it even possible to get 3 500 power relics?
If by relics you mean curio then no
Caps out at 430
yeah sorry curios
Hello ik it's late and probably not gonna get an answer for a while but does anyone know why my darktide gets so choppy when I play fullscreen?
Is DT, you could be on AMD, bottlenecked, game just dislike you that day, overheating and more.
Is basically normal. Turn off DLSS as well if it's caused by box of boom.
Random question, likely a dumb one admittedly... But is Havoc 1 considered harder than Auric? I'm just wondering where Auric stands in comparison to the Havoc levels as I've never really done Havoc but I'm considering doing so eventually!
Itās not; Havoc 1 should be relatively on par with Malice in terms of difficulty, alongside all other changes the game mode does
Havoc starts being Auric-adjacent at ranks between (roughly)⦠15 and 24?
15 is heresy
above 20+ is damnation
It is, sure, but the gameplay between these ranks is still more intensive than regular Auric Iād say (or can be, on occasion)
maybe 25 will feel like auric
Auric proper starts becoming ābaseā difficulty for enemiesā health/damage/etc. at H30, IIRC
i think "auric" havoc is when you sprint 20 meter infront of you and trigger the triple boss landmine 
Noted, so taking the two, expect some sorta ramping up around 20 or so? Noted!
I find myself wanting to try to get into it all as I'm pretty comfy playing aurics at this point. But wasn't sure where to expect to end up before actually finding myself getting some bit of resistance, mostly where I'd expect to actually start "learning" through trial!
Can't say I've ever seen more than two, let alone THREE
Much appreciated for the help with this though! @dapper shard @vocal nacelle
dw about it , you'll know when you see it 
They say seeing is believing, but I'm insanely blind. Maybe I'll feel it š
Worst case is, a boss, a captain, twins, 2 weakened bosses and a DH because you karked a ritual or ran into one from the above dookshow.
And all the usual suspects like army of crushers and so on.
it is far more common than you expect in 20+ havoc

Then you might have an incompetent teammate who rushes or seperates too much of the team to trigger bosses and captain spawns
Has FS ever talked about why weapon stats max at 80%?
Nope. But figuratively itās for making it so they can feature an across-the-board balance pass for player equipment.
Alot of my memory crashes come from hivescum and the shivs. NumericUI is kinda fucked with them and keeps infinitely counting ammo up in the background till you crash. You can fix it by going to numeric ui options then under ammo HUD turn off show amount of ammo and grenade gained should help atleast when running those. Or just turn it off and wait for a fix
Other than that I hardly ever get memory leak crashs
I can't say I'm comfortable with the worst case at the moment.
I'm usually the one who's stuck behind because I end up playing Psyker most of the time, and I need to work on keeping better pace with the team!
one thing that is true on high havoc, squads with psykers are the most likely to stick together for that sweet bubble shield

100% would be a nice round number tho
Won't lie, the shield is nice... But I started having more fun with venting... So bubble could be worth reconsidering, haha
It must have been even more confusing when you don't have the denominator in the stats
Not many can be. It's really bad.
Let me at em my thammer will show those bosses what's up š
That situation only happen if you ignore all the stop signs
Well that makes me feel a little better!
I'd assume it's better to backpedal and die than to run forward to live and trigger everything
Yeah about backpedal 
Hope you like sandwhiches
But you not eating, you are the one being sandwiched
I get to enjoy those in aurics half the time anyway because people don't stop there usually, lol
It's more of stand you ground and kill all enemies
Pop off king!
You backpedal too much it's going to trigger sandwich blockade
I'm thinking worst case if you can't live, the better choice is back rather than forward?
You only want to backtrack when a huge amount of armor is coming or like 2 or more bosses at once
Atleast that's what my groups do
Loop around the area
unless you have a party that likes to seperate and fight different enemies and just leaving you by yourself with bosses
Totally not what happened to me other day
Same room we all in but my teammates chose to target the hordes and armors while I fought two weak monsters
Bad teammates damn
Ogryn life 
so whats a good level to start upgrading your weapons
When you get god rolls.
do those change every irl day
No. You roll or get lucky for them.
oh
Every hour.
oh
they have a rotation by hour
nice
Brunt is gambling for greys.
Melk store changes every day
Melk is daily.
whats melk
The brunt armoury is where you gamble for perfect rolls
the old man goat on the right side when you enter the ship
The weekly missions guy.
close to the penance lady
wouldnt it be better to buy greens or blues
Can tell, it's okay
if you gamble for greys, you are better luck to have the god roll
than waiting and check on hour store
can you upgrade the color later? i thought it was only the power value
yes
nice
If they have the good max stats, yes. But the thing is, that's a refresh every hour. Brunt lets you force gamble for god rolls.
You gotta level up the weapon mastery first though
To unlock better blessings and perks and higher power level
As you are new, you are better to try out as much you can
Not really? if you see a god roll, just buy and fav it.
play with every weapon and level their mastery
i was told since i was new i shouldnt spend units until im higher level
Yeah
Yes, wait till 30.
But if they show in the armoury, just pick it up.
i have 2 level 25
You are better to wait until you reach 30 and have plenty of materials
Materials and currency are shared through your classes
aight, iāll check in then
you can look through class channels from their guides on pinned to see what weapon rolls you wanna get too
oh thanks
@keen flume completely unrelated, but my dumb self just realized you're a kobold. Suddenly ogryn gaming makes a lot more sense, also makes that insanely funnier to me for some reason!
Omg how many times I have been told by i am a kobold
