as I was once told

Positioning, and where to choose engagements

don't dilly-dally around railings

not to say it still can't happen

game is a choasburger

[broken prism]

hello everyone. is someone willing to help me with this pendants :Reach Clearance 25: Adept of the 53rd: Probitor 2nd Class:

the max clearance I was able to reach was 23 with randoms

[umbral pond]

fuck me I just finished a Train mission so close to losing I swear I would've seen the station the 53rd were in if the game was more accurate

[noble echo]

you should post in an LFG looking for a group to clear up

[lost smelt]

My auric events have been wipe in first room or full clear with no problem. No in between

[soft violet]

Grenade veterans are a mixed blessing during this event, not gonna lie. Love love love the regen for my hive scum chem nades but I've been yeeted off ledges way too many times from spam happy vets... I know I know, "positioning, bro." It's difficult when there are grenades being hurled left right and center. I feel like a ping pong ball. Screw the begining of Gloriana, for real.

[placid eagle]

Vet nades or bulwark nades?

[strange thunder]

vet shouldn't affect you with any greandes

[soft violet]

Ok, I might be an idiot. This whole time I thought the veteran shredder grenades threw allies as well as mobs?

Bulwark nades?

[placid eagle]

Yeah. Bulwarks drop grenades when they die.

(only in the event)

[shadow skiff]

50% chance of them dropping a 'nade that will usually delete toughness (i go from gold to like 50% toughness on my vet.) when they die.

Also knockback.

[soft violet]

I did not know this. Ok veterans. I humbly apologize. Thank you for the regen.

[shadow skiff]

Need to treat them like bursters and immediately dodge backwards after kill.

[soft violet]

Thanks for the head's up!

[broken prism]

what is a LFG ?

[hushed mauve]

looking for group a few channels down reffer to #vox-lfg-lexicanum for information

[noble echo]

as Boudicea said it stands for Looking For Group , if you post in your respective Vox channel e.g. NASA for North America / South America
The general way of doing it is joining an empty strike team, then posting a message in the LFG channel saying what you want to do. In this case Havoc 23+

[sick arch]

Can nurgles or plague ogry spawn in chasm station ( the first level)

[clear plume]

Yes

[halcyon grove]

Heyoo, the mastery system where I'm distributing points to get perks, those perks are not automatically added to my weapons, just unlocked for me to add them later right?

[hushed mauve]

yes. you can add 2 perks at once to a weapon via hadrons terminal ^^

when a weapon reaches max lvl (20) you will have every perk on lvl 4 (max lvl for perks)

[fresh ocean]

hold a wall you can hide behind and push them through it

[fresh ocean]

what mods would i want to get to see if someones kit is good before i invite them to the havoc team?

or really just like an info on the playr joining

[steep silo]

https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/455

[fresh ocean]

thank you

[keen flume]

Tbh that is gonna sound like bit toxic because people often swap loadouts after being accepted or pre-mission screen

[hushed mauve]

i do taht xD based on what is in the team already

no use playing as hordeclear scum if not elite kill is in team or vice versa

[keen flume]

Same, if I see a taunt Ogryn on pre mission then I wap to bull charge

[fresh ocean]

well i just want it to be leveled lol

[keen flume]

It is less about the people builds and more their competence

But certain builds can benefit others faster

[fresh ocean]

its just seeing that they have a coherent build too

at least a little

[hushed mauve]

i am curious what would you say to my psyker with FGS, bolt pistol, assail and 3 toughness curios with sprint and block efficiency?

[keen flume]

You can have the strongest build in the game and still play like shit if you don't know how to use or coordinate and loop around

[fresh ocean]

i cant see it all correct

but i can pick what might be best

with my recent havoc games yeah idk

[hushed mauve]

the problem is, you always have to trust

no matter how good the build/gear looks they can play liek shit

maybe they have a bad day

[fresh ocean]

aits a gray areas

[hushed mauve]

maybe their cat wants to have a go at heretics too ^^

[fresh ocean]

also that sounds completely fine

[hushed mauve]

and here i thougth it was the reason whyi get declined xD

[fresh ocean]

i mean FGS is good

assail is good

ive done very well with just FGS

[hushed mauve]

boltpistol is for the odd sniper ^^

just in case

[fresh ocean]

Yeah and like this is the thing people come into havoc without leveled gear

[hushed mauve]

i mean ... till lvl 10 that mroe than okay imho

[fresh ocean]

havoc 20 lol

i mean max level stuff is pretty important for some weapons

[hushed mauve]

depends on how the stats fell

my dumb ass had a 400 FGS with superhigh scores except warp resistance on 5% and i maxed it -.-'

should've never coudl have been the perfect minmax FGS

[pulsar acorn]

are all class intended to being able to tank 1v1 bosses?

on Havoc

[fresh ocean]

tank? i dont think so?

[pulsar acorn]

i noticed after play tons of Havoc missions with the Vet and dying as hell, after switch to psyker, multiple boss spawns ara way way easier when i can tank one of the bosses thanks of the perill instead of the stamina

[fresh ocean]

it also depends on the boss

[pulsar acorn]

was wondering if all the characters should be able to tank a boss 1v1

like the captain with the shield and sword

[fresh ocean]

you should be able to hold a boss idealy

but straight tanking is not really reasonable

[clear plume]

no class is meant to tank, avoiding the damage from goldtoughness/dodging/ staggering is always better

[smoky ember]

you forget about glorious shield ogryn

oouughhhh im blooocklkiiiinnggg

[amber salmon]

Do goggobites taste like goobooberries

[normal flame]

👍

[eager flame]

Psyker has some of the best block cost reduction options in the game. You can put enough points into stamina and block cost to hold block with any character against most monsters/captains but it is typically ideal to learn how to position and dodge the attacks that are easier to avoid so your stamina isn't doing all the work and limiting other possibilities in your build.

[shadow skiff]

You mean, skill Kinetic Deflection.

[eager flame]

No. You also have access to force swords with blessing to block bullets and further decrease block cost beyond normal weapon perk/curio limits. Furthermore, Pysker has faster native stamina regen onset than many classes. You can also perceive barrier/bubble as a means of further "blocking" damage.

[shadow skiff]

What I'm saying is you can skip all the extras and just grab KD and Warp Ghost (if meleeker/gunker). That should be more than enough stam for most.

[lament parrot]

Anyone wanting to work on dream team?

[obtuse glen]

are toughness curios super rare or do I just have bad luck today? i bought like 30 curios from melk and got all +wounds/stam/HP

[hushed mauve]

Luck based usually you can find +14-15% ones rather fast at the peddler once you hit 30

[obtuse glen]

oh okay nice ty

[shadow skiff]

You usually need to spend like 100k melk bux to get anything good on avg.

It's luck based though.

[obtuse glen]

ohh good lord lol

[shadow skiff]

Should only gamble at lvl 30.

[obtuse glen]

oh i assumed since it was a curio the level doesnt matter...does it have some sort of % cap for stats?

[shadow skiff]

Yeah.

Usually 410 min for max roll.

[obtuse glen]

oh dang thanks for letting me know, i was gonna go do some more after the next run lol

oh but doesnt curio level not matter, only the "rank" since we only use it for the stats?

[shadow skiff]

More so for stam. +3 that are below 410 are fakes.

[shadow skiff]

You look for 21% hp, 17% toughness, 410+ +3 stam.

Wounds are always +1, only for Martyrdom zealot though.

[obtuse glen]

right

[umbral pond]

Guys hear me out
Sniper class
Long range guns, small melees and even unarmed option, ability to jump higher for vantage spots
Felinid

[stoic locust]

No

[strange thunder]

great for a horde

which tends to be spawning every now and then

[umbral pond]

Fair
I guess that's what teammates and melee is for

[strange thunder]

so just negate the whole niche of the class for the majority of a game?

[umbral pond]

Ok yeah I can see the problem

[keen flume]

Hellbore vet

[umbral pond]

Actually, speaking of Helbore, @strange thunder
I actively fight hordes with the Helbore when I use a Krieg Build
The gun kills them fine, the bayonet kills them fine
Yeah I guess it'd be tougher with an even more snipy gun, but there's a fair few ways to fix this
getting stealth relatively often to sneak out and get them to beat up your team, maybe grenades to kill them, or just make them more of a marksman than a sniper so they can still snipe specials but still fire kinda fast

plus I think it'd be really funny hearing some of the more serious personalities having to deal with a catgirl

[strange thunder]

ok but what is your sniper class going to do when helbore vet does all of the things you described

also from what I read, 40k felinids are not really catgirls

they're considered abhuman like ogryns and ratlings

and prob p rare to begin with, doesn't really vibe with the whole notion of a ship full of them

[keen flume]

big 2026 and people still believe portray felinids as that

[hushed mauve]

There is one planet known they exist on + it is said they almost never leave it

Imho felinids are probably closer to like furries than catgirls, maybe nit even that. Like human face and stuff but tail catears and all covered in dense fur

[zealous dome]

Cats from cats

[shadow skiff]

I said that before, got jeered at lul.

[soft violet]

(just kidding... kinda)

[sick arch]

Do any of you use controller for your game? I was curious as to how you fare with 45 degree slide and dodge. Sometimes the control makes me crouch which makes me die from the very gunfire i was trying to avoid. I can use KBM as im on pc but have alwahs used control on other games acceptably

[shadow skiff]

Have hold to sprint tbh. Crouch is to taste but I use toggle. Best if you have back buttons to bind sprint to.

Some prefer hold to crouch since they only use it to slide.

[hushed mauve]

veteran has a sharpshooter tree. and felinids are bound to their planet by lore. also if sniper class extra ratlings would be kinda the predetermined pick but FS does not want an additional viewpoint for small characters

[hushed mauve]

i swear to the goddess... sometimes i wish for leave penalty

liek leave for 10 games and for the next 10 games your title is forced to leaver or something

[strange thunder]

I don't leave games, I just crash instead

[hushed mauve]

i mean taht is always the problem ... btu you have people that go down, instaleave

and its not even auric maelstrom

the problem persists over all difficulties as well -.-' karking ragequitter

[strange thunder]

ye I wouldn't mind penalty if darktide was a stable game with stable servers

they already penalize in havoc and there you get it even if it's totally FS' fault

[hushed mauve]

yeah ... thats the big problem

throne ... my typing today ...

[soft violet]

100%. The .gif's from a space marine vs. furry animation. Just a light tease!

[lone adder]

Why the fuck are we posting Loona in gameplay tips

[hushed mauve]

cuz she cute?

[lone adder]

Fair

[soft violet]

unfortunately rage-quitting is actually encouraged for those looking for "no-death" contracts/achievements and just those looking for a faster requeue. There should be a penalty.

[steep silo]

-5000 diamantine each time you leave

[hushed mauve]

tbh there is more than enough that would not care about -ressources

[soft violet]

Yeah, if play regularly, god roll maxxed gear isn't hard to farm and then it just builds and builds...

[hushed mauve]

tbh 80 80 80 80 60 is good enough

[quaint jacinth]

does my havoc rank lower if i don't play?

[strange thunder]

yes

[quaint jacinth]

well that then takes all desire to play havoc

[strange thunder]

you can just complete any havoc game

doesn't need to be a higher ranked one

[quaint jacinth]

i don't care about the weekly rewards, i wanted to try to see how high i can get my rank

[strange thunder]

well if you're competent and doesn't get stuck in the 20-30 rank hell

you'll get 40 eventually

[quaint jacinth]

sometimes i play other games and i go to a different country for a few months
i got to 22 last time i played and now im down to 12

if it decreases over time just because i can't play it every week then im just not gonna play

[strange thunder]

yeah they drop ppl down to the closest 10-20-30 after a havoc reset

which is after every big update

[quaint jacinth]

what do you mean?

so it's not a constant drop?

[strange thunder]

it is a drop by one rank every week if you don't play

but they reset havoc for everyone when a new big update drops, which is every 3 months or so

I'm 40 rn so if they reset, my mission rank would go down to 30

[fresh ocean]

what maps does respawn manipulation work?
like can you always just go backwards and have closer spawns or do certain triggers negate it?

[clear plume]

Works for all maps

The locations vary per rescue totem

There are mods to give you visual locations for these (works only in offline, so you need to research).

Certain objectives are tied to respawns

1 that comes to mind is mercentile. If the scan data isn't picked up at the 1st rescue they will always spawn there but when it is, they get pushed forward

Even certain drops can be abused if you hug the lip of the drop below it (it thinks your above the drop)

If you want to learn some without the mod just @ me a pic of the location and I can probably tell you where the threshold is

[fresh ocean]

chasm station at the start i was wondering if it had one

everything went bad and i was trying to get a respawn outside of the tunnel but it didnt work probably cause there is none

[clear plume]

For the 1st respawn of Chasm Station you need to be behind the barricade before the broken building bridge

[fresh ocean]

okay so then i have no idea why the havoc 40 players questioned why i wanted to backup when 2 of us died?

[clear plume]

9/10 people I play with in pubs don't understand the respawn mechanics, which isn't their fault. Fatshark doesn't teach and the info is hard to find

Best way to say it is to explain what you know

/where to find more info

I usually say "back/back up for closer respawn"

And if they don't back up I add "they spawned at the next totem because you didn't back up"

Then I show them where they need to go for the threshold

[fresh ocean]

I didn't know for sure but also things were really bad so i wanted to reset anyways

and they all kinda just raged quit instead of hearing it out

[clear plume]

Then they didn't want to learn, move on. Some people just don't care to learn stuff like that, which is fair

[fresh ocean]

I mean this is in havoc

Id hope if they are playing this mode they'd be willing to learn

[eager flame]

it is rumored that Fatshark modeled the ogryn personalities after "the average player"

[fresh ocean]

I think i can see that

[noble echo]

Is there a general rule of thumb that you can use like "back up one room" or is it generally more arbitrary?

[strange thunder]

it depends on the respawn point sometimes

but just follow someone that does know and their markings

it's usually just better to be safe than sorry

[clear plume]

Like 90% of triggers are rook based so go back 1 room works in almost every spot

[crisp owl]

can you still move them to a closer respawn if they already respawned in the further respawn point?

[strange thunder]

no

[reef haven]

Why can't I immediately push after sprinting with melee weapons like the duelling sword and the bone saw? There's a 1 or 2 second delay after sprinting. Is this an issue in the game? If so is there a mod for it to fix it?

[strange thunder]

if you are right next to a respawn point where another player already is waiting, someone dead will respawn next to them

[vocal nacelle]

"balance"

make a post in forum maybe its a bug

[reef haven]

Did that now

[vocal nacelle]

FS forum?

[balmy moat]

i dont seem to experience what you mean... could it be because you're out of stamina?

thats the only way i can not push, if i dont let stamina regen a little for a push

[hushed mauve]

that happened to me before xD being otu of stamina and see the poxburster jump ... scariest moment of the week

[reef haven]

Yes

[reef haven]

It only happens with some weapons, but not all weapons, try to instantly push while sprinting or immediately after sprinting and see what I mean

I even tested it in the meat grinder

[reef haven]

While still having stamina

[balmy moat]

i tried with knife and dueling sword

both with and without stamina

[shadow skiff]

Low ping or high ping? Because I know with higher ping, there's a jank to it.

[reef haven]

Low ping, I have stable internet connection

[balmy moat]

can you show a recording of it happening

[reef haven]

Somebody answered through the forums, It's an animation cancel issue

[amber salmon]

What's considered high ping these days

[clear plume]

Once someone is at a respawn totem they wont move back, they will anchor there or get pushed forwards

there is only 1 (ONE) totem that is bugged and will bring someone forwards

but this is very iffy and I cant replicate it every time

[vast jewel]

I would also add do not pickup the last person hogtied if there is still a count down for someone who just died, it will force teleport them to the next beacon if one is available to be active instead of the one you just freed your teammates

[hybrid idol]

idk if this has anything to do with gameplay but is the scoreboard mod not working for u guys? Cause is crashing the game for me

[shadow skiff]

Mod on Nexus is abandoned.

[hybrid idol]

oh what

damn thats sad

[hybrid idol]

what happened?

[gusty whale]

have you narrowed it down to scoreboard

could it be something else

[hybrid idol]

yes

[gusty whale]

just scoreboard? or any plugins?

[hybrid idol]

just score board

thanks for helping!!!

👍

[gusty whale]

in that case idk because it works for me

but i also run ovenproof community patch

[balmy moat]

run the community patch

as kat mentioned above

[hushed mauve]

if i blacklist a person, does it mean the game will avoid tputting me in a match with them?

[vocal nacelle]

should be

[hushed mauve]

good...

sadly the karker is not in the previous games list ...

run of the mill naem too.
met them 3 times today. they go down, blame the game (game won't let me shove, stupid game does not accept dodge, etc) then leave game

[shadow skiff]

Can happen. Boomers not getting pushed is literally a months long bug.

That never got fixed. Not even slapping them with BtL or Shout works.

[hushed mauve]

true that. but stuff like: shitty sweeds nto even block works against weak minions leaves game
after they stood inside a literal horde of enemy hodling down block button and stam ran out

i mean sorry, but at that point they are just a lousy player trying to play auric xD

or rather get carried

[shadow skiff]

Most just want free wins, you know that.

[hushed mauve]

i do my very best to not conjure that precise knowledge xD

[strange thunder]

you're not even gonna be in the same mourningstar lol

[hushed mauve]

i mean ... mourningstar is empty all the time so wouldn't even notice xD

[strange thunder]

ye it's just funny

[lost smelt]

So sometimes boomers just jump at you from a distance and they land where they deal damage to you but still are to far away for you to push them?

[shadow skiff]

That bs is normal nowadays. Blame FS.

[gleaming lantern]

i honestly charge them, push and dodge back. with a decent mobility weapon it seems safe

no more backing up while pushing

[restive jewel]

do you guys like main a class?

do I need to main a class

to get really good

[strange thunder]

I play some more than others, but not excessively more

so no you don't

then again it depends on what you mean by really good

[balmy moat]

while a main isnt necessary, i do suggest like, temporarily maining different classes, maybe a couple days at a time, instead of switching every other game or so, just to help the learning process along smoother

if you only play 1 game as a zealot a day for example, its gonna take FOREVER for you to learn you can throw knives while channeling chorus

[gleaming lantern]

I consider my zealot my main and have 1000+ hours in game and did not know you could throw knives during chorus

[wicked pine]

is "man-stopper" on the combat shotgun +25% stagger all the time or just on crit?

its not clear

[eager flame]

As far as I know the cleave is only present on shots that crit but the weapon will have 25% more stagger generally.

[clear plume]

Find the blessing guide

And search for man stopper

To my knowledge it's just cleave increase

[strange thunder]

the ranged attack stagger strength is separate

up to 25% more

[old niche]

Does anyone know where I can see a guide to weapon stats? I mean stuff like Impact, Strength, Rending, Brittleness, etc.

[strange thunder]

the blessings guide above also describes what those mean

if there's a blessing that interacts with them

like adding brittleness or rending

otherwise there's this vet guide that also goes over a lot of the fundamentals https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3367063781

[fresh ocean]

How do i see a players CURRENT havoc level?

[vocal nacelle]

true level mod, pretty sure you can see other player havoc rank without mods if they reach above 30

[fresh ocean]

its only showing me what their highest havoc rank is, not their current

it at least seems like it and im pretty sure testing my own account it shows my highest rank not my current

i think people who WERE 40 end up joining when they probably still aren't at 40 cause some of them do really bad

[vocal nacelle]

season 1 havoc player

[fresh ocean]

I just want to have someone dishing out the same stats as me 😭

its just really not fair to anyone to hide players current havoc level and just give out their highest as if it is what they are at

[vocal nacelle]

you get better chance in lfg channel

[fresh ocean]

I guess thats like my last option to actually get anywhere

if im honest the balance of havoc is genuinely pretty horrible and rng reliant

so even when true survivor players are in here they still get screwed by that

[vocal nacelle]

mostly knowledge check

except rotten armor, that one is BS

[fresh ocean]

idk ritual and gas is pretty bad

but yeah i never want RA

if the modifier equates to just do more damage then like what are we thinking

do any really good players like actually ever touch randoms?

[vernal plaza]

*krak check

[fresh ocean]

Well i clearly need a class that will hyper carry more than i am already doing but im not sure what

like hivescum can hit some crazy numbers

just really need something to stop my team from dying so much and to make up for their sometimes 2x-4x less damage than me

[lost smelt]

Viable ways to do boss damage as psyker other than brainburst?

[keen flume]

Scier gaze with GFS on weakspot hits

But is better to ask for builds in psyker channel

[lost smelt]

That looks illegal

[keen flume]

Had moments where I just did over 30% health damage or more with a push attack agaisnt a plogryn

those are the moments that make me pog out of my mind

[balmy moat]

highest single hit ive gotten so far is about 14k damage in a single stab, that i've been paying attention on at least

[gusty whale]

shamk

[restive jewel]

can you realistically play and win with hive scum desperado builds? most of the havoc 40 i saw are shiv rampage meta builds

[thick acorn]

how many hours is this...

[restive jewel]

there is a mod that displays 4 or 5 numbers over a character? what are all those

[balmy moat]

probably a few thousand plus some xp exploit grinding

[gusty whale]

absolutely but melee is more fun

[gleaming lantern]

Yeah I think its called 'true level'. Shows what level they'd be if the same amount of xp to get to 30 kept adding new levels

[hushed mauve]

this mod is so fun to me as i have each class on 30 and my truelvl is nowhere near what a single character shows xd

[keen flume]

True level

[crisp owl]

Yeah, I’ve been running only desp scum for the past week, not bad win rate with randoms and always top damage

Downside is it’s boring, you’re just holding m1 and pulling down while dodging

Does anyone have any tips for completing the Malleus Monstronum penance?

[gleaming lantern]

Go the the vox-lfg channel for your region and host a group saying you're doing malleus monstromum. Either someone will help you or you'll get a few people that need it and just do a few runs to get it. I got it in about 15 mins once someone told me to do that

[balmy moat]

dark communion map for early guarenteed spawn, bring bb, kinetic resonance add on.

preferably bring someone who knows what theyre doing of youve tried a bunch and are frustrated (i can help when available)

[balmy moat]

[restive jewel]

how to what penances for different titles?

is there a list

[strange thunder]

doesn't the titles page say what penances are required for them?

like you click them

there's a mod that directly shows the penance associated and one's progress

which also allows you to view how much more you've done towards the penance after completing it

[steep silo]

it does yes

[keen flume]

Well not exactly the full description of the penance

But works fine enough

[restive jewel]

which mod

it's hard to search for that name

like where tf is adept of 53

[balmy moat]

"how did i get that" which also requires "archivum messelina" then you can check in cosmetics to see how you got them, and what you need to do to get the ones you need

[restive jewel]

i need that mod

thanks

[balmy moat]

it also as you see tracks past original completion on most penances

fun way to keep watching number go brrrrr

[pulsar acorn]

is there any way to avoid people to see my steam nickname with mods?¿

like turning on some kind of privacy settings?

[strange thunder]

im guessing no

[balmy moat]

no, but you could change your steam name itself to something harder to find, if for example, it was your discord username now, you could change it to just say "sergio" on display

[steep silo]

on topic of funny number go up, "Player progression" does that job really well too

[hollow dock]

how do i get higher power curios? can i upgrade them higher?

also what is a ordo docket

[little coyote]

your money

and curios cannot be upgraded beyond their "rarity", 280 rank will always be 280

[hollow dock]

is the max power for curios 500?

[pastel forge]

430

[inland lichen]

RNG. The exception are wound curios.
Rating is kind of tied to your levels, so curio-hunting below max level is unlikely to give you a maxroll.
Best to gamble for curios when you're at max level with melk currency and hope you get lucky, because otherwise, the only remaining options is to check the shop's stock every hour, or hope a good one drops as a mission reward.

[pulsar acorn]

why are ritual gets triggered when we are faar? is not the first player that tells me that ritual were triggered from faar

[strange thunder]

it goes by direct distance, so if it's on another level it can be close enough to trigger while you still have a long way to run

and you have a lot more time than you think as long as keep a decent distance

[pulsar acorn]

yep i know sometimes bar does the same trick that some youtuber makes with their adds and the ad bar, but the rituals are a little bit buggy, yesterday i can't see the bars on the whole match and the other day i get one of the ritualist on the up floor and the rest on the same room we were in

[noble field]

What aura and skill are best on zealot? Im thinking beacon and chorus?

[strange thunder]

chorus is high support value but cuts your DPS by a lot

FotF is often the most useful and it has two charges as well

shroudfield is good for boss oneshots and some clutches, but can be a bit of a waste at times

I usually run beacon or benediction, depends what I feel like

[noble field]

Word. Im mostly weighing the 15% constant DR from benediction, vs the 60% for 4s every 8s from beacons tree

[strange thunder]

that talent is misleading and not very good

it triggers after they take dmg, not before

[noble field]

Oh, ic

Ty

[strange thunder]

np

[fresh ocean]

so as a melee maxer whats the havoc 40 strat of doing something in melee without having to worry about an overhead targetted on a teammate being lead into you?

[clear plume]

being away from your team

I'm always in front past everyone

if they are getting close to me I'm doing something wrong

but thats my playstyle

[fresh ocean]

so there is like 3 hivescums

it honestly just feels unfair

because the only place i can go at times is in front with everyone else

or sit there and do nothing

i mean i could go behind the mauler/crusher but now im surrounded

feel like the aoe of the overhead should have iframes completely if you aren't being targetted

well during a dodge which it does to an extent

i dont know maybe the strat for 2 upfront melee builds is one just sits back when maulers and crushers exist but kinda feels like bad design

[balmy moat]

do not do what ainz does, tbh

ainz is ainz

generally, you can be ahead, but that wont stop someone behind making you eat an overhead, unless you break coherency. just be aware of what your team is fighting best you can, and act accordingly

ainz can rush 40m ahead grab spawns and lead it back to the team faster than they understand what's even going on

[fresh ocean]

im hivescum its kinda the method

[balmy moat]

depends if your team is ready for those spawns or not

[fresh ocean]

yeah i mean i wait for a good moment

taking an overhead cause i didnt dodge valid

taking an overhead that wasn't aimed at me and dodging on time is not

[smoky ember]

hes too goated

[smoky ember]

just be a decent distance from ur team

u dont have to be super far

just be towards the front as much as u can

and keep teammates either behind u or significantly to ur sides

they can handle a crusher or whatever that slips past u

[severe goblet]

rampage scum

is best played like an angry bee

fluttering around killing what you can but, you still have a hive to take care of

so you go back for those moments of support

[compact sorrel]

hi guys i want to do slide while carrying capsule but i can do it only on ogryn, the other classes i cant do it for some reason i hope someone can help ty

[strange thunder]

you can slide with it on any class?

ogryn just carries it the fastest

scum and psyker has very good stamina regen and short delay so you can sprint slide a lot while carrying to go decently fast

[compact sorrel]

yes sir when i ctrl to slide while sprinting it just crouch and backup

[strange thunder]

that shouldn't happen

[compact sorrel]

i can slide while carrying with just ogryn

[strange thunder]

sounds like something on your end

[zealous dome]

For sliding you need to have a certain amount of speed
All lil uns get slowed when carrying capsules so you just gotta find the right speed

[simple flare]

Iirc you have to hold down both sprint and crouch at the same time to sprint slide if you have no stamina left. That's why I have my crouch on my mouse. The capsules eat a lot of stamina and you run out.

[eager flame]

Setting sprint to toggle can alleviate this. I find you need to use a good amount of a stamina bar to get a full slide out. Hive Scum, Ogryn or any class with Stamina curio and some stamina regen are best candidates to carry.

[pulsar pilot]

A comment on the mod page is describing what you do want: showing current rank not the highest achieved rank.

(The commenter wants the opposite.)

Are you maybe on an older version?

[fresh ocean]

Im not sure what you mean by older version? Is there a way to see peoples current rank?

[pulsar pilot]

Someone wrote on the mod page that as of September 2025, they see the player's current rank, instead of highest achieved rank.

So I was wondering if maybe your version was older, and if updating it would fix it.

Sorry I wasn't clear

[fresh ocean]

I wasn't playing then and im pretty sure i started playing atter the hivescum update

[crisp owl]

doesnt the rank only disappear if you skip a week of havoc?

[fresh ocean]

I can't see current havoc ranks unless its someone hosting where when i view players hosting they'll be on assignment 33 but show havoc 40

Like next to their name

So im not sure if its even possible to see current havoc rank apart from that

So if its something many people can see maybe a mod is blocking me? No one pointed out though where i should be seeing a current havoc rank though so im not sure

[crisp owl]

it shows the highest theyve done this/last week no?

i remember taking a break and my havoc rank not being there when i returned

[fresh ocean]

I'm not sure anymore tbh for what others see this is just what i see

Id like to see others current ranks not mine though

[crisp owl]

from what i understand it shows the highest havoc they've successfully done this/last week and not their own "lobby" rank, i forgot what its called

which is what i think you are referring to

[fresh ocean]

Mmm maybe i have no confirmation on this stuff

Like ive said i dont know where the location shows for their current rank

Its really just a matter of can anyone else here see what someones current havoc rank is?

[steep silo]

With true level it only shows their clearance (highest havoc they have completed this campaign)

Don't think you can set it to show their current assignment

[fresh ocean]

For some reason true level has never shown me a lower level ever

[flint lotus]

Is there a frame for brutes and bombs or whatever? I finished it but I'm not seeing it come up

[strange thunder]

no you get an insignia

[flint lotus]

man thiS SUCKS I HATE THIS GAME man CMON man I blasTED ALL THE BRUTES maannnnnnnnnnn

not even a FRAME man not even a FRAME

[hushed mauve]

the insignia is cool though :3

[humble plinth]

Question for dripseekers
Does this literally mean 50 hp, or is it a typo and it's meant to say 50%

[clear plume]

50%

[humble plinth]

ok i see thanks
terrible place to have a typo like that

[clear plume]

Yes

[eager flame]

It was 90% but then Fatshark decided to make it easier and harder at the same time.

[hushed mauve]

question: what is the best map to complete malleus monstronum?

[strange thunder]

dark communion has guaranteed monstrosity spawn so

and ig consignment yard as well

[hushed mauve]

true totes forgot

ty

[eager flame]

I recommend the Auric Maelstrom with multiple weakened monstrosities buff. Heresy or Auric does not matter.

[noble field]

What weapons are best on zealot?

Mostly wondering about guns

[clear plume]

Depends on what your goal is

there is no best for everything

Darktide has alot of variables

[noble field]

Fair enough

Mostly picking off stuff that is too far away

[clear plume]

sniper gun

There is a few

what kind of enemies?

elites or specials?

or tiny shooters

[noble field]

Elites and specials mostly, like gunners, shotgunners, bombers, flamers, etc

[clear plume]

Las pistol, Combat shotgun, revolver, vigilant autoguns I'd recommend

if you get good enough with throwing knives this will replace this role

[noble field]

Ok ty!

[clear plume]

Bolt weapons too

people enjoy the bolt pistol alot

[noble field]

Actually just tried it for a sec in the meat grinder, feels good but super slow reload

[sick arch]

Is the content addition something that has to be downloaded or is it handed entirely on the server side ?

[strange thunder]

downloaded

[hushed mauve]

did it in dark communion ^^ but tty for the tip

hey just started the game with a friend and we cant invite each other

[balmy moat]

using your fatshark friend codes?

[spring grove]

me and my friends are on the same platform

[balmy moat]

[spring grove]

lol were on playstation there is no find friend code in social lol

i can see my friend online

so a friend code isnt going to help us oinvite each other lol

were already friends lols

[vocal nacelle]

there's ingame code to invite eachother

[spring grove]

figured it out just had to restart are games XD

[languid sail]

gonna pull the best prank on myself and never play scum again

[rocky juniper]

Does anyone have any tips for reducing lag in darktide?? Its genuinely so bad I can barely play with it

[cold moon]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3626143482

oh wait, my bad

Is this for PC or console?

Okay, I noticed your discord role is PC-related so the steam guide above can help you.

[rocky juniper]

You’re good! Yea its pc, currently reading through it rn
Tysm!

[keen flume]

Dropping your PC specs here can also help you so we can learn to improve your frames

[rocky juniper]

Kk, gimme a sec

[keen flume]

AMD GPUs in this game have massive hiccups

[cold moon]

Darktide does not like when ReBar is enabled in the BIOS

😔

[rocky juniper]

fuck 😭

[keen flume]

Theres a Reddit page that helps to increase frames on amd GPUs though

Idk where it is, but could swear it is pinned here or other channels

[rocky juniper]

tysm
would I be better off getting a different GPU if I could?

I'm having problems like this with other games too and its pissing me off so bad

[keen flume]

It is a latop you using?

[rocky juniper]

yea 🥲

[keen flume]

Not too familiar with laptops in specific, really the best choice is get a new stronger one or have to start saving for a desktop

Laptop GPUs are a mixed bag for me

[rocky juniper]

Yea ive heard that, just in denial 😭 I'm thinking of getting the Steam Machine

[sick arch]

Once you get havoc 40 clearance does it stay that way forever? And just the assigment can go down?

[balmy moat]

until the season resets, it will display you as 40 as your highest clear

you get no other lasting benefits

if you mean an h40 assignment rank, it will be locked to 40 until season reset, which bumps you down to 30

[eager flame]

Season reset will likely be this week which will make Havoc inaccessible after Sunday refresh until the update on March 17. You only need to hit Havoc 40 once for the Penance(s) but every reset you will go down to the nearest 10 levels below you highest Havoc clear (40 --> 30, 30 --> 20, etc). If you hit 40 during a season you will not derank if you lose until the season reset drops you down to 30 again unless you choose to derank yourself.

[sick arch]

Ok thank you for this explanation

[lime idol]

with current RAM situation I'd suggest holding off on buying any machine lol

[rocky juniper]

Ikr 💔 these fuckin clankers taking everything bro

[noble field]

Which dueling sword mark is the best for killing high lvl armored enemies?

They seem nearly identical

[clear plume]

mk4 has the poke heavy no slash heavy to mess up the single target combo

which is heavy heavy heavy heavy heavy

[noble field]

Ok ty

[autumn crescent]

Why is my diagonal sensitivity so slow and how do I speed it up

I'm playing on controller btw

[normal flame]

how much damage do bursters do? sometimes it seems to negate the explosion if im at full toughness as well

[clear plume]

Uprising/malice/heresy/damn (auric is same as damn)

[normal flame]

what is full spillover?

[normal flame]

ive also been curious about this i havent figured out how it works i think ive gotten used to it

[zealous dome]

Tldr full damage to health if toughness can't tank

[normal flame]

10x damage means 1000 damage? essentially you need full toughness to not take health damage

[zealous dome]

You need the equivalent to 1000 toughness to fully tank it

This is where Toughness Damage Reduction comes

And golden toughness as well

[autumn crescent]

Thank you

[restive jewel]

do I need to change to beta branch for darktide new update

how are people playing it

[vocal nacelle]

content creator/playtester invited by FS for early access

[vast saffron]

If the attack breaks your toughness then the full amount of health damage is applied to you regardless of how much toughness you had before the attack.
Sniper shots work the same way. The only way to negate it is having gold toughness, which prevents overspill entirely as long as you have at least 1 point of it.

[thorny mango]

does a weapons MK go up as you upgrade it?

[eternal mortar]

No, the marks are different configurations of the weapon. Sidegrades. Different states, attributes, movvesets. For example the Infantry lasgun comes in a "light", "medium", and "heavy"

[thorny mango]

Can soulfire crit?

[craggy minnow]

Iirc the tick damage does not but the applications can, which applies 2 stacks (and does a little extra damage)

[gusty whale]

does that mean outside of the main boom you take more damage but less corruption

[clear plume]

I have no idea...

I think so?

I never noticed a difference

[keen hornet]

I can't write in the chat

[strange thunder]

what chat

ingame?

try interacting with something

[smoky ember]

yes

ends with overall less damage though, if ur at the edge of the blast

actually i may be wrong

yah idk if u take less damage overall at the edges

but i know u take less corruption

[fading wave]

What mod manager should I download

and which mods are the highest rated

[strange thunder]

idk if there is any but vertex

I just do it manually with folders tho

[eager flame]

At times you can be disconnected from chat requiring a restart to rejoin chat. Has gotten to be a more rare bug over time but happens still.

[noble field]

Anyone have tips for the shocking stuff penance?

[strange thunder]

flamer

don't bother with melee

get a fellow zealot to help with more stun grenades if needed

[noble field]

Any suggestions for map or difficulty?

[strange thunder]

some like mortis trials for penance completion

higher difficulty means more enemies in general tho

[noble field]

Aye

[strange thunder]

so that's usually more important

[noble field]

I gotta level up my flamer, its not really hitting rn

What blessings and perks should i use on it?

Like the refinement at hadron

[strange thunder]

blaze away and overpressure usually

but you can slot everlasting flame over overpressure for this ig

if you're running it with blazing piety keynode

usually unyielding flak for perks

[eager flame]

If you do the twins map on Heresy at the point where you first encounter both twins (shortly before the elevator down to the final arena) you will get a horde from behind when twins enter. You can funnel them into the narrow hallways on either side (the one on the right as you enter gives you a bit more room and sightline), stun nade and flamer them to death pretty easily before the twins are on top of you. Might need 2 stun nades to get it done so don't kill enemies who are not stunned as they swarm in. Can help to have one other person with you to keep the sword twin busy.

[noble field]

Word, ty. A lot of ppl said that map, i tried on malice and got 36/40 and had the most unbelievably abysmal luck with every attempt after, there and elsewhere 💀

Ill be leveling my flamer fully first and then trying that

[eager flame]

I think heresy gives you better density during horde and will still die to flamer quickly. Many people suggest malice though. Not sure if that was more so before the difficulty rework though.

[noble field]

Yeah agreed. I assume they suggest malice since it might be easier to kill them quickly, but heresy will definitely have more enemies

[eager flame]

Perk flamer for unarmored and infested or flak +25% to do the penance. Blessing as stated above earlier.

[noble field]

Ill probably do unarmored and infested yeah

Since that horde is usually all poxwalkers

Ty

[jade herald]

Guys if anyone here using mods with game i need your help with something.

[hollow dock]

''Those who complete the last tier of the event will receive a cosmetic insignia.'' what does this mean?

is it the difficulty or

[clear plume]

The event is 10 missions iirc

each 2 played you get a reward

[hollow dock]

oh! ty

[clear plume]

Event missions are on the board marked with the i symbol

this

[hollow dock]

can i fail the order or do i jsut do them mindlessly

[clear plume]

you can fail

its just fomo

you get crafting materials and a unique title iirc

to get a tick in progression you need to win the event mission

[hollow dock]

how do i see if ive done one of them?

the progression*

[clear plume]

hold tab and press E to cyclke in the menu

[faint perch]

People don't generally volunteer to answer questions if they don't know what the question is

[jade herald]

all good anyway
was gonna ask about a specefic file but all good

also i said If so if not do not answer

[faint perch]

You seemed unfamiliar with how interactions on discord work. Rather than ignoring you, I took the time to explain how you could get what you wanted. If that bothered you somehow, then I apologize

[sick arch]

Since they just ended the havoc season will we still receive the reward chest earned

[normal flame]

combat shotgun mark 9, any good reason to use the incendiary round? looks like it does barely any damage

[gleaming lantern]

i almost never use combat shotguns but if i do i take the slug variant

[gleaming lantern]

at least lets you snipe in a pinch

[quick spire]

for the blue bottles penance on warren 6-19, if one person does it does everyone in the party get it or just the one who completed it'?

[thick acorn]

we're stuck in the ending of dark communion now for 10 mins

all the vats are broken but nothing is happening

[icy vale]

Ive looked online and this seems to be a global issue but I never saw a potential solution. The game takes forever to load, specifically when loading into the hub. I myself load decently quick, but then it get stuck on "waiting for other players". I cant move the game to my SSD as that SSD would then have 0 space left, so I don't know what else to do

[balmy moat]

that seems to usually be an issue with another player loading you in, if its rare when it happens

i get it once every idk, 200 games or so

then i either wait and get kicked to op select, or i close the game and relaunch, whichever i feel like doing

if its happening more often though i'm not quite sure, could be the server itself struggling at that point

[icy vale]

It's every single time I'm loading into the hub. There hasn't been one time where I load in normally. My friends load in mostly fine too. My PC isn't that great but I shouldn't have to wait almost 15 minutes

Sometimes I'll get disconnected and have to do it again. Yet loading into missions is fairly quick

[balmy moat]

odd indeed

[icy vale]

I could try to move Darktide to my SSD but that SSD would then have like 2-3 gigs free

And another ssd would set me back over $200-$300 which is out of the picture for now

[little coyote]

I'd do it for the performance boost as well, it runs a lot better on one too

But only if you can move something off the SSD

having an SSD that full isn't good for it

[icy vale]

I genuinely don't know what's taking up the other 100 gigs. It's not system files, programs, or media. And I've already wiped old windows versions

[little coyote]

Do you have steam recording active or something similar

[icy vale]

Never. And all my screenshots are saved to a USB drive

[little coyote]

Is the SSD your Windows drive

[icy vale]

Yeah

[little coyote]

Could be temporary files, update files etc

but Windows alone takes a good chunk

[icy vale]

disk cleanup says temp files are only taking up 179 kb

[keen delta]

install treesize to find what files clog up your ssd

[vocal nacelle]

whats your SSD size

[icy vale]

will do this

[icy vale]

222 gb

[vocal nacelle]

inb4 20GB discord cache

[keen delta]

windows shouldnt take more than 120-130 gigs

[vocal nacelle]

yea windows is below 100GB

atleast win 10

[balmy moat]

about 80-100 for me, forget exact amount

win10

[icy vale]

i know nothing about computers lol so i wouldnt know

well i already found curseforge is taking up 30 gigs

[icy vale]

lifesaver because i didnt even know i had all this stuff

[keen delta]

yeah if you are not carefull 256 clogs up real fast when its the os driver

[little coyote]

I used to have a 60GB C: drive for Windows, it was a huge pain 👴

[icy vale]

i need another ssd anyway which sucks

still kinda crazy how optimized vermintide 2 is compared to darktide when theyre made by the same people with a similar file size

[balmy moat]

same company

different people

[keen delta]

obese fish please optimize the game

[icy vale]

freed up some space on my ssd. if it works better than ill keep it. if not then ill move it back. hopefully this is the end of my suffering

appreciate the help yall

[keen delta]

yeah let us know if that doesnt help I might help with another way

[keen delta]

have you achieved any success yet

[icy vale]

still moving files

[balmy moat]

let us know when its done, very curious

[keen delta]

Still waiting tho :>

[short gazelle]

does flamer resistance cover bomber fire or are they both separate

[balmy moat]

seperate

[icy vale]

@keen delta @balmy moat fell asleep since it was 5am lol. trying now

i load way faster now

though my c drive now only has 12 gigs free lol

[noble field]

For sir melks quest to grab 16 scriptures or grimoires, does it count ones my teammates get or only me personally?

[steep silo]

It counts for the whole team

[strange thunder]

it's also a terrible one to complete

I'd just reroll it

[steep silo]

but muh 700 melk bucks

[noble field]

yeah i want that schmoney

but it would be a lot of runs and thats if you get 3 scriptures each

only got one last time lmao

also have to do 6 missions with no deaths which means low diff basically lol

[steep silo]

honestly I'd reroll and just try to complete as many contracts as possible with all operatives, saves your sanity from having to collect 16 books

but if you only have a few operatives and really want to melk maxx go for it I guess

[keen flume]

Pretty sure the rerolls only cost dockets

[steep silo]

yup

first reroll is free and then dockets

[strange thunder]

yeah I'd reroll any missions without deaths objectives as well

[noble field]

only got one rn

but fair

i did in fact reroll them and theyre much easier with a similar amount of rewards

[noble field]

What mission(s) have a lot of dregs?

Need ranged kills

[eager flame]

Dregs are harder to come by as of the last patch but generally I head to the missions with sand in them and seem to find at least a 60/40 split in favor of Dregs. Alternatively, keep an eye out for the rare chance that a Maelstrom is dregs only.

[noble field]

Hmm ok ty

[steep silo]

Dreg only maelstroms don't appear

[noble field]

Honestly, i should probably reroll that one. Only worth 230 melkbux

[eager flame]

Yes they can. Dreg Only, Ranged only. Very rare these days though.

[eager flame]

For weeklies I take, Plasteel, Diamantine, Scab kills, Monstrosities and either dreg kills or no deaths if 3 or less missions.

[noble field]

Well i rerolled it from ranged to melee kills so ig ill take that

Much easier since im zealot

[eager flame]

Team kills count and with a couple psykers and a vet you can rack up ranged kills even as zealot. But melee usually a safer bet in your case.

[noble field]

Ahhh

Good to know

[steep silo]

Not a sight of it in over 2300 hours

Sure you're not getting confused with scab only ranged only one?

[eager flame]

Then you haven't been checking Maelstroms religiously. Or playing since launch.

[eager flame]

There is scab only, ranged only as well and it is much more prevalent these days.

[steep silo]

Didn't play at launch but in the last two years or so I've never seen it pop up and I mostly played maelstroms, even had MMT mod to replay them

[steep silo]

Looking back I do have vague memories of seeing it around, but then just disappeared I guess(?)

[noble field]

What are the best melees for zealot? Ik dueling sword, heavy eviscerator, and combat knife are really good

Oh and power sword

[cold moon]

Crusher is also good because you knock down enemies constantly and the combos are fast enough to prevent them from hitting you.

[noble field]

Ok cool! I like that one

The special atk is great

[delicate estuary]

Can anyone remind me, does playing with friends on higher difficulty than a newly character can select on its own progress difficulty unlocking?

[cold moon]

With a martyr build, your attack speed is very fast

[noble field]

What blessings should i put on it?

The crusher

[steep silo]

Skullcrusher and slaughterer are good

[cold moon]

My Crusher's stats

[vast saffron]

I actually had a related question. With the new diff rebalance is the secret diff tied to damnation or auric or both?

[sick arch]

You can unlock it on uprising . But i think theres a penance for damnation clear

I guess my question was about the penance then!

[icy vale]

@keen delta @balmy moat after a 5 hour play session i can confirm this fixed my problems. however. having 12 gigs free on my main drive is fucking horrible

i really want the bone charm but im nowhere near

actually i dont know what the system is called. the leveling up season pass thing that u progress by completing penances

wait no hestias blessings!! will the rewards change or am i not in a hurry

[gleaming lantern]

I think all the current penances and rewards are permanent. IIRC they're adding more with this next update - so higher max penance points and accompanying rewards

[hollow dock]

ooo cool

[gleaming lantern]

Indeed. With a reward of some kind every 100 points, I'm almost 1000 points over the current cap, so hopefully that means I get a pile of stuff quick 🙂

[tame cypress]

campaign maps 5-8 are primarily dreg

[keen flume]

Expeditions now is gonna spawn dregs exclusive

Except ogryns and specials

[thorny mango]

Do you need to work down the skill tree??
If you have something unlocked lower in the tree and you remove the above perks, do the lower perks continue to work?

[faint perch]

No

You cannot do that

[keen delta]

Yeah its a temporary solution you should get a new ssd

[icy vale]

Looking at some this weekend

[restive jewel]

anyone know this hud mod that has warp charges

[restive jewel]

the crosshair hud is crashing my client any alternatives

[balmy moat]

#psyker-class message
same suggestion i gave you earlier works very well, is stable, and versatile if you want to expand on it in the future :D

[restive jewel]

great thanks

Show me Real weapon stats crash with new upadte

[hushed mauve]

1st expedition: have a vet that shoots poxbursters (on auric) and kills us all

[balmy moat]

sounds accurate

[restive jewel]

do you get more credits on higher difficulty

like there are a lot of tech remnants lying around

[kindred temple]

iam spawning into missions that are lost and i just see the failed mission screen. game is crashed and i can hard reload

[vocal nacelle]

Expedition?

[kindred temple]

yes

its a mess

now you can wait 2 days until its playable

sucks. the mode is quite cool

[restive jewel]

there are visual glitches in loading screens too

my weapon exp is slow to build in expeditions tho

back to normal

[vocal nacelle]

A known bug, read the patch note

[ember wyvern]

I am on a 9070 XT and the game is struggling why do they keep screwing performance

[restive jewel]

i have same

[restive jewel]

why is havoc rank 10

lmao

used to be 20

[strange thunder]

they reset ppl down to the lower 10

40->30, etc

[digital stone]

gpu doesn't matter much for darktide unless you have an insanely powerful cpu and terrible gpu

the game is extremely cpu bound

[rough linden]

Where can I ask questions about mods?

Anyone knows?

[ember wyvern]

I think you can ask here, I've seen others ask

[rough linden]

Well, firstly, either dmf or mod loader stop the opening cutscene from playing lol. :/

[ember wyvern]

That is a option in game I believe

[rough linden]

Hmm no. I have tested it multiple times lol.

Mods on, no cutscene; mods off, bam cutscene.

[ember wyvern]

odd, I don't have the cutscene either way

[rough linden]

turn off mods, validate the files. It should come up.

[ember wyvern]

I can't show a screenshot but check ingame when you enable your mods: in the interface settings all the way at the bottom one of the options should be to disable the cutscene. Just check that the mods aren't changing that for some reason

[native wind]

Anyone not having event progress track? I’m at 1800 remnants but nothing is showing up.

[warm spruce]

Is the infantry lasgun intended to do more damage the further you are away from an enemy

[zealous dome]

Yes
They have inverted fall off
Closer = less damage

[rough linden]

Why lol.

[zealous dome]

Because Fatshark

[rough linden]

Lol

[zealous dome]

I guess they just wanted them to be mid-long range weapons

[rough linden]

Probably.

[languid sail]

first expedition, get to sanctuary, finish up and the exit just.. doesn't open?

i'm confused lol

[steep silo]

happened to me too, going back to the entrance and then to the exit again seemed to fix it, not sure why that even happens

[dusky cobalt]

anyone getting softlock in the shop in the new mode?

[mint cave]

anyone getting a lot of flickering on lights now?

[lost smelt]

So all noobs just queue in on auric for expeditions?

Becuase holymoly the teammates I get, like they don't have basic dodgeing down yet

[thin zodiac]

has anyone faced an issue where they cannot load into expeditions?
Im getting stuck at "reading data from disk" though every other game mode I can play no problem

[keen delta]

Try verifying integrity of files

[near thistle]

Has anyone else been able to confirm that chem enhanced and channeled devastation are not synergizing?

[noble field]

Do penances for breaking idols count teammates?

[balmy moat]

yes

[noble field]

Nice ty

[hasty nebula]

Real talk whats the point of the barrel purchase

[balmy moat]

movetech

[steep silo]

funny barrel

[gleaming lantern]

is there a guide to what the symbols on the auspex actually mean? I know doors are safe houses but idk what the rest mean

[thorny mango]

do demonhosts get mad if you walk NEAR them
I find I keep getting absolutely smited by them 💔

[north breach]

Yes, and don't light them up with a flashlight

[clear plume]

Open the enemy guide and scroll to demon host

Kuli explains how they agro

It's damage and proximity

@thorny mango

[thorny mango]

gulp

oh so sprinting anywhere near it just causes it to go balistic

[north breach]

Yes

Don't even shoot near it

[thorny mango]

Suppression effects, yuh

anyone know what's wrong?

[vocal nacelle]

Re verify the file

[normal flame]

is there a resource on what the symbols on the auspex in expeditions mean?

[restive jewel]

yep I got a few only in expedition mode

[sick arch]

Does anyone know a fast way to get salvage parts ? After 12 hours i got like 36k tech points but only 4000 salvage

[wheat karma]

does not spending salvage earn you anything in the new game mode?

[vocal nacelle]

penance

[wheat karma]

is that a no?

xd

i was hoping it had a savior system to it but ig not

[sick arch]

You have ro spend 100k to get salvage lord penance title which is orange

[wheat karma]

i seen tha

but that does not answer if you get extra tech for not spending any xd

thats what i wanna know

[vocal nacelle]

maybe next update

[wheat karma]

it would make sense

even making it a 1//1 would work

but maybe 2/1 would be nice

[fresh ocean]

is it even possible to play the new gamemode and win if players are so bad and won't go to the points to extract/collect loot?

like is there a way to get extraction at the end without needing majority team?

[rotund ermine]

regarding the grids

Any changes to the maps when you unlock the furthest one?

[wheat karma]

get a buddy and que alone xd

that or

honestly pray on there downfall and solo it anyways

[fresh ocean]

why did they even lock exit to one person at end

or from one person

[balmy moat]

idk why they made it need 2 people

they REALLY need to add a check for "ignore limit if team is dead"

sanctuaries make some sense at least, because they're teleporting you away

[rotund ermine]

I think they did it so that someone wont speedrun?

[fresh ocean]

oh and objectives too

like come on let me do it solo

[rotund ermine]

because fatshark is probably scared some players just take small resources and exit the map

[rotund ermine]

Objectives are weird, some require just 1 person and some need 2

[fresh ocean]

i think the last thing we needed in this game was to add MORE teamplay requirements

because MOST people play auric when it just results in them dying a bunch then leaving

i'd say add punishments to leaving but either way we go with that is a lose lose

[wheat karma]

it makes sense on paper

but like

they really need to make solo player lobbies a thing soon

i dont like harping on the "just add solo" but like

alot of the S tier players need that shi xd

[balmy moat]

make auspex waypoints set in-world

would help a ton

instead of the compass

[wheat karma]

true

a little beacon light would be nice

most gamers dont look up afterall

[fresh ocean]

I mean i don't know why it wasn't done a while ago

also seems like the servers are dying so that lovely

I think if anything is to be changed its just solo and bug fixes in my priority

[wheat karma]

once they get the bugs out, and carapace armor gets fixed. it'll be goated

[little coyote]

What's up with carapace at the moment?

[tame anchor]

expedition difficulty a bit inconsistent on auric so far

have some with no bosses, and some with quite a few

Havnt noticed much of a difficulty difference between alpha and beta

[balmy moat]

its just modifiers

difficulty also ramps up the more heat you generate

more sites you hit, more time you spend, more things you kill

the big difference might be player quality between alpha and beta

in alpha, people dont know quite what they're doing, in beta you have to have some semblance of what youre doing at minimum

probably expands from there, but only just unlocked delta so haven't run it with pubs yet

[thorny mango]

why did i start my arbites playthrough with 100k money?

[little coyote]

Money is shared between characters

[keen flume]

Currency and materials are account shared

[wheat karma]

its culls most weapons and builds from being used

at the moment maybe like 5% of things can kill them well enough to be used

crusher being the big example. after the health bonus a full charge thunder hammer cant backstab them in one hit. which is an issue.

i think about 70% of my net losses are from 12+ crusher hoards and i just can slash them down fast enough

they need a weakness

[vocal nacelle]

Ogryn + mass stagger

[wheat karma]

or the damage resistance needs toned down from 100% from some weapons to like 70% cap

there are things that work. but the things that work vs the things that should kill them anyways. is to far a jump

like sure, i can burn them down and just dodge n pray. but sooner or later everything else will get to ya

[little coyote]

ehh, I don't really see them being an issue as they exist at the moment. Thought there was a bug or something

[fresh ocean]

or just bring other weapons up

[wheat karma]

or that

buff other weapons

but nerfing one big issue is also a good gap

[strange thunder]

dont shoot armor

[wheat karma]

99% of the player base does xd

[fresh ocean]

where did that stat come from?

[wheat karma]

the hundreds of games i've played, public reviews, local calls.

and the like 3k youtube video's on it

[strange thunder]

they need to learn to not shoot armor

[wheat karma]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WeTUiwXCzI

[fresh ocean]

to be fair most people aren't good so

[wheat karma]

its not just shooting it

its most melee weapons to

[strange thunder]

what are most melee weapons

like you have heavy sword, sure

[wheat karma]

most, the swords, the chain weapons, almost all the clubs, the shields,

[little coyote]

Mr E is also an awful source

[wheat karma]

and sure the dagger can work, but its slow. and the other clubs are super slow

[strange thunder]

you can't just say all swords

[wheat karma]

mr.e is like most of the player base

[strange thunder]

chain weapons handle carapace fine

[little coyote]

stupid?

[strange thunder]

clubs as well

shields?

arby shields are super fine

so is ogryn shield

[wheat karma]

chain is one of the worst

arby sheild takes a long time, same with ogyrn

[strange thunder]

no it doesn't

you just aren't using them correctly if that's the case

[wheat karma]

i know i am. i've tried them all

when there is a hoard, and 10 crushers are in the way

they dont cut it

[strange thunder]

they do

chain sword is chain sword so it's not super great

[wheat karma]

they dont xd

[fresh ocean]

i mean have you checked out the most optimal dps for each weapon?

[wheat karma]

again, look at it from a normal dude with like 100 hours trying this out. they dont cut it in the slightest

[little coyote]

there literally are zero non-viable weapons in the game, some or better than others for sure but not every weapon has to do everything perfectly

[strange thunder]

100 hours is nothing

[fresh ocean]

yeah 100 hours you have a lot more to learn

[strange thunder]

I barely understood basics atp

[wheat karma]

there are plenty if you want to have fun xd

[wheat karma]

EXACTLY

if thats your stance, you cant try and tell me that theres not an issue

[fresh ocean]

something taking a while to learn is not an issue

[strange thunder]

what issue, that ppl complain about carapace?

[wheat karma]

100 is alot of time xd

[strange thunder]

idc they complain, they're just bad

[fresh ocean]

then its not for you lol

[wheat karma]

another bad stance in the face of balance

[little coyote]

balance doesn't mean that every weapon has to be equally good at everything

[strange thunder]

like there are select melee weapons that struggle with carapace, but they usually shine in other areas

[fresh ocean]

how is it bad?

depth is a very good thing for games
