gameplay-help

[strange thunder]

and I'm only at like 12 after 50k+ tech remnants

[lost smelt]

Seems like garbage design for a CO-OP game

[rotund ermine]

it is yeah

[strange thunder]

yeah

[rotund ermine]

reminds me of some of the penances back then where you do it alone but fatshark changed it months later for team to help out
💀 💀 💀

[strange thunder]

none of the other expedition penances are like that

well they made the bad ones private games only

90% dmg with brain burst on a monster in a public game?

• get the killing blow

[lost smelt]

I know there are some like kill X enemies with Y or stuff, but that I do not mind to much as they just spawn all the time. But for something which there only spawns 1-2 of per run and you compete with 3 others for is so dumb

It's not like you can "help" others with it either without cucking yourself

[shadow skiff]

Anything relating to data reliquary is selfish, the carry on to ship one as well. The waiting for ppl to die to loot and the kill and pickup what was stolen is also selfish cos teammates can steal your progression.

Since it requires you to kill and pick up the lost remnants yourself.

[strange thunder]

yeah but at least that one is only at 15

I can excuse the others more

[shadow skiff]

Not the waiting for ppl to die instead of helping them.

Have already seen players camping someone bleeding out instead of helping to grab the remnants.

Having a remnant scoreboard also pushes it.

[strange thunder]

ig I've been lucky and not seen that

to me the remnant scoreboard is more like a hitlist

[keen flume]

Often times I question myself if data reliquary is even worth to drag with you lol

[strange thunder]

hardly

[keen flume]

Not counting the penances

[strange thunder]

it's just penance

[shadow skiff]

You need 50 if you don't wanna deal with the above.

The camp teammates dying.

[strange thunder]

if the reliquary also gave you salvage from the casing it would be nice

could come in clutch

even tho you sometimes have too much salvage anyway

[shadow skiff]

Luck based on non-kappa runs.

Kappa is just loot everything.

[wet knoll]

i turned it off, and turned off frame gen because it was giving me less fps for some reason. but boy this game doesn't run well lol

[pulsar pilot]

I use this one. You gotta edit some files though.

whats this mean?

[ripe snow]

nevermind graphics card wasnt updated.

[limber fjord]

This will cost a little over half my dockets, worth it?

[little coyote]

nope

only buy from melk if it's a max roll

toughenss goes up to 17%

[velvet quiver]

why does the new mission give the same amount of stuff regardless if you play it on Malice or on Auric? am i missing something?

[hushed mauve]

nope thats just it and the reason why so many ppl just farm the remnants on malice and then go auric on the missions that are actually fun to play

liek the 5 part one or ethe one where you get 25 minutes per part

[dark kindle]

m8s why the f my cond dmg is f zero??

i use shock mines and arbi shock maul

[orchid marten]

Hi, I'm looking for people to systematically complete the Dream Team achievements (complete 100 missions without anyone getting knocked down). So far, I've managed to get 63/100. Need at least two players, host a game on the lowest difficulty level (Assassination or the Train) and complete the run quickly. Is anyone interested in doing this for 5-10 nights and completing the achievements with me?

[steep silo]

I don't use Power DI but wouldn't shock mine be classed under Blitz damage?

[dark kindle]

hmm
the other arbi was on shild with maul
look how much dmg he give

[orchid marten]

interested!

[dark kindle]

its very interesting that after i start use frame gen my dmg went from 700k per run to 400k
am i trippin

[keen flume]

Frame gen makes you sloppy

Your skill has been lowered

[hushed mauve]

makes literally no sense xD

more frames = less dps xD

[keen flume]

Doubt that really not about frame gen

Probably the power DI not be accurate or some stats missing

[hushed mauve]

or just mor occupied with staggering enemies instead of dealing raw dmg

[steep silo]

was he using the dog?

could've been bleed

nvm I can see Companion dmg

yeah probably the bleed/shock from his dog

[dark kindle]

wow 120k dmg from dog

[steep silo]

not unheard of

[hushed mauve]

actually pretty normal if built right

[steep silo]

especially if there are dense hordes, one pounce gets a lot of bleed

[dark kindle]

its affect bleed just hanging arround horde?

i was think its dmg only then bite

thx 4 this idea i will try doggy build and check if anything changes in my dmg

[hushed mauve]

shock mandibles + bottom right keystone
then take + 25% to electrocuted enemies

[steep silo]

if you take this it will apply bleed when he jumps and when he lands

[hushed mauve]

big dog dmg already, can be improived further

[dark kindle]

thx

[dark kindle]

thx

[hushed mauve]

sry bottom left keystone

teh +25 needs to be on melee

[upbeat parcel]

what's the best perks and blessings for power sword?

[steep silo]

adding to this there also are a couple ability modifers that buff your dog

[orchid marten]

Anyway, I'm now 30 missions away from getting the achievements, anyone want to do it together?

[stoic locust]

This is incorrect

You should take either Sunder or Brutal Momentum over Slaughterer

The cleave increases vastly outweigh the loss of a 40% power drop

[hushed mauve]

never had a problem with power sword cleave tbh

• slaughterer helps with oneshotting horde enemies after power swings are spent

that si why i licke the slaughterer pick

[stoic locust]

Sunder lets you cleave carapace

And brutal momentum massively increases clear speed versus light elite blobs

[hushed mauve]

i use power sword on my plasma gunner mainly

but i will keep that in midn for an additional one for my hellbore

coudl be real handy to dispatch light elite blobs faster

[lime idol]

This is largely irrelevant because u should only use activated attacks

Slaughterer has niche but is largely beat out by BM/sunder

[hushed mauve]

sometimes i do not have time to reactivate every 3 strikes xD

[lime idol]

Nah u do

[hushed mauve]

like within a walker horde

[lime idol]

Yea u def have time

[hushed mauve]

i don't btu then again i am not a vet main

i find the 3 swings are too little to keep a horde back

and shout is only available so often

might also be that it bugs me everytime that you have to reactivate a power sword every 3 swings xD

which is why i avoided it for the longest time, it is just ... to good, sadly

[lime idol]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/985983134275366943/1480348440264183979/7C49A51.MP4?ex=69c1ce6b&is=69c07ceb&hm=a990fe5dadc393a67c639ae7fe2077a17bb74dcada421db7ac11eab296f27034&

[hushed mauve]

i'd rather it works liek the relic sword

[hushed mauve]

good for you ^^ i usually die if i try it

i mean against a horde not liek a few enemies, there it works fine

[lime idol]

Yea this is 20 bruisers

Poxwalker is way easier than bruiser

[hushed mauve]

20 is not a horde imo. i am talking screen full of enemies kinda situations

[lime idol]

Those are still not that hard tho

In any case BM and sunder are still better

For example sunder allows u to take a hilarious number of elites and come out unscathed

And BM is straight up best horde clear

[rare dagger]

Hey Folks, I need some help getting Just A Flesh Wound on my zealot. I guess Rolling Steel on Heresy would do the trick. Anyone have ideas on how to get this one done?

Do I just get murdered at the start and never get rescued?

[lime idol]

have no extra wounds, get damaged to <1 wound (less than 50% health) asap, then play the mission as normal

[rare dagger]

Thanks!

[hushed mauve]

fair

still gonna play it the way i prefer ^^

not lookin to clear havocs with vet so it doesnt matter that much anyway

[paper zenith]

I don’t think you can do operations. Gotta speedrun a normal mission

[velvet quiver]

if it's the train (as it should be), once you deploy, rush ahead, you have 35sec to take 75% damage you need to be on half of your last wound, so if you have 2, you should be left with 0.5 or less. Then you simply need to make it without getting downed or healing to the end and you're done. IF you manage to get downed, your teammates have 15-20sec tops to pick you up and for you to rush and get slapped to 0.5 again. That's it.

whole deal takes 8min

why the seconds you ask, because mission is locked at 10min and penance requires be at X amount of hp for 80% of the run, or was it 90% you get the point. From there it's easy to calculate exactly how much those %s are and what your wiggle margins are.

[formal sun]

Hey folks I was wanting to know how the debuff on the deployable flying lightbulb works for arbites

[jovial frigate]

Does this channel count requesting advice as gameplay help? Or does it want specific questions with exact answers

[stoic locust]

Whichever

What do you need

[jovial frigate]

Wanted to ask if theres any reason to not invest in a weapon early game. Can it only become so strong? Or can it be upgraded to the same levels as later game weapons too

[stoic locust]

You can raise anything to maxed out

Its just more expensive

And harder to get perfect rolls

[jovial frigate]

Is there anything randomized? Cuz I can see you can choose the substats and blessings

[stoic locust]

I would recommend running whatever the game gives you or whatever looks cool without upgrades until level 30

[stoic locust]

Just base stats

The shaded bar to the right of the bright one is your potential stats

You want them to be 80 80 80 80 60 on most weapons

[jovial frigate]

Noted. Is there any weapons that are considered to just be garbage

Veteran specifically in my case

[stoic locust]

You can make anything work but some weapons require significantly more effort

[jovial frigate]

Ive just been using a shovel and a lasgun and running around like a cadian ngl

The semi auto las you start with, not the charge up one

OH! that reminds me. Do all weapons only have 1 possible secondary ability? Like, is flashlight all this thing can have

[stoic locust]

I would consider Devils Claw Sword, the non folding shovels, heavy swords (on vet), and chainsword to fit that bill

[jovial frigate]

Chainsword is a charge weapon right?

[stoic locust]

Yeah specials are standardized between weapon families, though some weapons have slight variations

[jovial frigate]

Are there any special versions of weapons, or just basic rarities

[stoic locust]

Wdym by special

[jovial frigate]

Like a lasgun thats full auto instead of semi

[stoic locust]

Theres a family of full auto lasguns

[jovial frigate]

With a fancy name or something from a specific mission or something

[stoic locust]

Oh then no

[jovial frigate]

I may just not have them unlocked ywt

[stoic locust]

More than likely

[jovial frigate]

I tried the auto rifle. Burst and full auto. I can say easily, I hate the way this games recoil works

And ive failed to find a setting to change it

[stoic locust]

Low level guns kick like mules

Because your Stability stat is low by necessity

[jovial frigate]

Ah. So automatic weapons become not rapid fire shotguns later on?

[stoic locust]

Though some guns will always take you on a 15 degree ride up your screen, like the Vraks Infantry Autogun

[jovial frigate]

I swear holding the trigger doesnt make aiming harder, it just makes me aim at the floor lol

Kinda like helldivers

No recoil but the spot your using to aim changes

[stoic locust]

They don't work exactly like that

Reticle should remain accurate to your spread

[jovial frigate]

Yeah the size does, I mean the position

I slowly have to aim the gun at the floor as it fires

Which makes it hit enemies in front of me while I stare at the floor

[stoic locust]

Yeah if you hipfire that happens

Ads actually moves your camera

[jovial frigate]

Ads was like that too mostly

Camera shook (turned that off) but the floor thing persisted

Idk ill try autos again later on

[stoic locust]

Yeah thats probably a good idea

The recon lasgun notably does not have this problem

[jovial frigate]

Oh. Caracas. Am I meant to slap them in the legs

Carapace

[stoic locust]

Which kinda

[jovial frigate]

At my level. Dudes with heavy helmets and shoulder pads, but weak legs

[stoic locust]

Crushers (armored ogryns with mauls) are fully armored and you just need to headshot them

[jovial frigate]

They use chain axes

[stoic locust]

Maulers (chain axe dudes) only have carapace helmets

[jovial frigate]

I dont think ive met one of those yet

Crushers I mean

[stoic locust]

So yes depending on your weapon it may be better to aim for the chest

[jovial frigate]

Noted. Last question for now. Probably. Are there any ranged weapons other than shotguns that work well even with bad headshot accuracy

Lasguns feel like they have an insane multiplier for headshots

And low body

[stoic locust]

Shotguns (the good one, Agripinna) are headshot guns

[jovial frigate]

Huh ok then

[stoic locust]

Nothing on vet is really a bodyshot weapon besides like

Double Barrel

[jovial frigate]

Boltor a headshot gun?

[stoic locust]

For sniping, yes

[jovial frigate]

Or does this game kinda just ignore the explosive rounds

Or is it propelled...

[stoic locust]

The second mark of both the bolter and bolt pistol has a significantly larger explosion

Though less ammo both loaded and reserve, and less direct damage

[stoic locust]

Oh and Braced Autoguns

Forgot about those

[jovial frigate]

Hmm so nothing that changes it from low to high difference to like. A medium medium

[jovial frigate]

Is that the ones with NO ADS

caps

[stoic locust]

Yes

The one that braces to hip

[jovial frigate]

Thise hurt me

[stoic locust]

They aren't great

[jovial frigate]

They dont feel nice either

[stoic locust]

I think you can make them a decent trash clearing weapon with veteran's new +50% ranged cleave talent but idk

[jovial frigate]

I think ill stick with lasgun. Seems like it has ALOT of ammo. And can fire pretty quick if I click faster

Wish this one could have that bayonet tho. Love that thing

[stoic locust]

They definitely still get beat by the Double Barrel in this regard, and the dbarrel can even snipe too

[jovial frigate]

Ah. Halo shotgun

[stoic locust]

Theres a variant with significantly improved damage, a charge shot, and bayonet

[jovial frigate]

I tried that, I cant stand charge weapons

[stoic locust]

The Helbore family is currently vet's best sniping weapon

[jovial frigate]

I just need a general all rounder.

[tame coral]

The MVP of the Library on Combat Evolved

[jovial frigate]

I dont think i ever used it in CE

[stoic locust]

Then Laspistol would fit the niche of high ammo all range special killer

[jovial frigate]

I had this goofy habit of only using the human pistols and battle rifles

[stoic locust]

With the ability to also shoot into Unyielding for pretty good damage

[jovial frigate]

Any special things it does? Charge, pistol whip?

[stoic locust]

Just a pistol

The special is a push with the offhand

[jovial frigate]

Whats its difference from the bolt pistol

[stoic locust]

More ammo, higher fire rate, better Finesse (headshot/crit modifier), an innate crit chance increase, and generally better blessings

[jovial frigate]

So it's just better

[stoic locust]

Though it does have worse damage and I think runs around 2 taps or burn kills

[jovial frigate]

Taps?

[tame coral]

At least it's not the plasma pistol + battle rifle combo

[stoic locust]

Shots

[jovial frigate]

Oh right

[jovial frigate]

I hate charge weapons in ever game

[tame coral]

Yeah, it's the classic noob combo for dealing with elites in every Halo game

[jovial frigate]

Bows are kinda an exception

But thats another topic

Oh

Are either of the dlc characters worth getting

[stoic locust]

Depends on what you like

[jovial frigate]

Alao thanks deluxe edition for leaving me with 100 currency.

[stoic locust]

Arbitrator is a very easy and simple CC frontliner, with a side spec into ranged
Sadly they suffer from a lack of build variety and the best way I can describe it is they feel like a subclass

[jovial frigate]

Doesn't Arby count as always having a team member

Oh I thought it added to that toughness regen

[shadow skiff]

Only if you take that aura that makes your dog count.

[stoic locust]

Hive Scum is a very fast and fragile damage dealer at close to mid range who can give psyker a run for their money (and win with the newest patch I think), but require more effort to perform

[jovial frigate]

Ah

[shadow skiff]

But even then, is bad.

[jovial frigate]

Fair

I see that there is the option to remove the dog. Sounds like heresy

But alright thanks

[late rapids]

So curios, how do you get a higher empower rating? Can you get them at 500? Or is it random?
The highest I have is a 400 curio, then 390, 380.

[strange thunder]

can't empower, 430 is max

[stoic locust]

You just find them at that rating

Best way is either camping the armor on the hour or gambling from melk's random curios

[late rapids]

Ok thx

[balmy moat]

i agree

arby without dog are heretics

[gusty whale]

i am a certified heretic then

(but honestly if i am playing dogless i wonder why i would pick the class)

[proper agate]

You want to know what a veteran feels like with survivability at the cost of half their arsenal

[gusty whale]

this class has nothing in common with vet so idk what you're saying

[keen flume]

https://gif.fxtwitter.com/tweet_video/HDZEF4XXEAIzu8C.gif

[jovial frigate]

oh my god rem hi

[late rapids]

So does the curio empower number even matter if you max out your blessings at 390?
What's diffrent from a 430 curio and a 390 curio with the same blessings and perks?

[strange thunder]

the stats on the base curios

you can't get 17% toughness, 21% health, or +3 stamina below 400

[late rapids]

The raw stats correct? Not the perks or blessings?

[strange thunder]

yes

[edgy onyx]

I wanna know if I'm doing something wrong, started an expeditions with only bots, soon as I start one point of interest the three new bot replacement players immediately run somewhere else.

Were they just not team players or was I picking the spots wrong? Do the numbers give info as to how valuable the point of interest is?
I suspect they're not team players as they kept running different directions and two of them couldn't even extract properly, but I'm willing to learn if I was missing something.

[lime idol]

no people just don't know how to play the mode

[edgy onyx]

I had a feeling that was it, I'm only on my 8th or 9th game but I knew enough to follow at least one person around to do the objectives and not run around aimlessly killing the random patrols that are just time-sinks.

[vocal nacelle]

Split up to get more tech remnants and get killed midway

[edgy onyx]

Like I get splitting up into two if you're decent, but some of these people were dropping even when playing Arbi and still deciding to run off alone.

Feels like this mode is going to end up like Havoc where noone wants to play with unreliable randoms

[vocal nacelle]

Expedition got a little stealth element, dont hit every patrol you see it's a waste of time

And extract when the timer reach 3 min

[worthy dew]

this, ppl play however they want, then blame others

trust

it happens in regular missions too, even in auric

[worthy dew]

Expedition is an OBJ gamemode. Some people opt to split for Objectives but clearly can't deal with a split party. I wouldn't blame myself if I were you

to steal something from Battlefield; PTFO and do it as a team

[edgy onyx]

Yeah, trying to stick together but just had another game where someone instead of going to the marked objective just activated the sanctuary door.
It gets really tough to carry and get anything useful done, and make it to extract with players actively increasing the heat on you.

Interesting concept for a gamemode, but very frustrating in actual execution.

[jovial frigate]

so 80/80/80/80/60 are the stats wanted on basically every weapons?

[clear plume]

all but 2

plasma gun and ripper gun

[jovial frigate]

lucky me then getting this laspistol

is there a "best perks" for laspistols? plessings and substats I mean

[clear plume]

I like using maniac for specials, unyielding for reapers and bosses

dumdum for the highest damage increase

and either desperado or infernus

[jovial frigate]

I dont even see one called maniac

[clear plume]

perk

maniacs

[jovial frigate]

ah ok

ive just had it as damage to flak and weakspot

[clear plume]

not many enemies are flak in the head

[jovial frigate]

fair

[clear plume]

and weakspot damage increase isnt as good as you might think

[jovial frigate]

are maniacs like the most common enemy type?

[clear plume]

most specials + dreg ragers

[jovial frigate]

alrighty

thanks

[clear plume]

so priority enemies

[jovial frigate]

ugg not being able to send images sucks

[clear plume]

dm if need be

I don't mind

[smoky ember]

scab ragers and 501st

and i think thats it

oh dreg bruisers

[clear plume]

Gunner/rager/shotgunner

[dense tulip]

I mean, it definitely won't make you perform worse if you have, like, 80/80/80/78/62 or something similar because the marginal improvement from a percent or two will very seldom save you from defeat. It's more of a perfectionist/completionist thing

[clear plume]

really the only important one

[jovial frigate]

more 0's feels cleaner

[dense tulip]

of course

[final spear]

How do I rename my character; cause I want to rename my arbiter into wehavethemeats

[stoic locust]

Go to Krall on the right side of the ship from the mission terminal, by the Comissary

50k dockets for a Personality Scourge and you can change anything else about your character while you're at it

[worthy dew]

That's debatable on psyker weapons

technically speaking warp res is pref lower than 60 if you can afford it

not that it affects too much

[jovial frigate]

In this case its on a vet

[nocturne flicker]

if any smart fellas are familiar with this crash i keep getting i'd love to get some help for it

[little coyote]

Only fart smellas here

[nocturne flicker]

[Script Error]: scripts/managers/localization/localization_manager.lua:323: bad argument #2 to 'lookup' (string expected, got nil)

[vocal nacelle]

disable mods

[nocturne flicker]

right

but like

i like em

and the crash isnt consistent

[vocal nacelle]

update mods

[nocturne flicker]

i did, and checked the notes to see if there were any extra changes that had to be made to fix bugs

mods i have are

LogMein
animation_events
DarkCache
true_level
InspectFromSocial
ChatBlock
how_did_I_get_that
NumericUI
scoreboard
are in my load order. and it could very well be i just need to wait for an update on something but i just wanted to see if it was easy to find which one was causing this specific crash

cause idk, sometimes i go multiple games no problem, but i think the crash happens in games with arbites

real weird, i guess its not as common as i assumed

[little coyote]

It's a localization error, is your system language something else than english?

[steep silo]

Likely scoreboard, with the last hot fix it had issues

In the modding discord there's a patch to fix it

[strange thunder]

yeah the modding discord is the place to troubleshoot really

[nocturne flicker]

thanks. preciate that

[nocturne flicker]

makes sense, ty ty

just grabbed the pinned change, thank again smart fellas

[steep silo]

[rotund ermine]

guys need help

Can you record a video when you use Fire-Support Signal Marker during extraction Masozi doesn't do Air Support?

I think this is a bug?

[little coyote]

Is it really a bug if she's supposed to be extracting you at that time?

[strange thunder]

there are two ships in the sky tho

I haven't used them enough to really know how they're supposed to work

I think the few times I did use them they just flat out didn't do anything

[rotund ermine]

Its two Valkryies but the weirdest part is that out of all the Support Abilities, this is the only time when Valkryie doesn't attack

Even the Air Strikes still work during extraction

IIRC Fire-Support Signal Market would attack enemies on the beacon you planted IIRC because I saw players use it before extraction

💀

[hushed mauve]

If the air support arrives before the extract is called in it works

Xould be because technically it is the storm raptor giving air support and doing extract?

[rotund ermine]

I think so because Masozi said she will help us. But when Extraction started the Valkryie didnt shoot and 2nd one extracted us

[hushed mauve]

Hmm mine qas still shootin

[tame coral]

It could be the Storm Serpent piloted by Borovitch

But on the node with only valkyrie pickups you can have even 3 or 4 birds in the air

[hushed mauve]

Then again, one time she didnt arrive at all, despite voxing that air supporr is comming in

[tame coral]

Iirc the valkyrie hovers around the map and takes a while if it starts engaging other enemies outside your close area

[hushed mauve]

It can do that?

[tame coral]

Yeah I saw it hovers around the entire zone instead of the spot you throw the beacon at

[hushed mauve]

Interesting

[sick arch]

Are the havoc missions standardized per assigment level on a given week? In other words does everyone that has assigment level 40 have the same mission with the same modifiers? Or is it just randomly assigned on a per account basis ?

[shadow skiff]

Random.

[sick arch]

Thanks

[agile valley]

Someone can help me to rush this?

[untold surge]

i am unsure if this counts as gameplay help but i changed worker threads to 5 then errors 2002/2014/3013 started happening, i set it back to the default worker threads but its still happening, i do not know how to fix this

[worthy dew]

might want to try reinstalling

or relaunching the PC

[silent furnace]

Hey I’m looking to add some mods and I know the devs are ok with modding. Does modding get rid of your progression and what kind of mods are allowed?

[strange thunder]

any mod on nexus is fine

no mod gets rid of progression, stuff like soloplay mod simply doesn't give any progression because it's offline

[untold surge]

thanks

ill try that

[jovial frigate]

is the first stat on a curio the only thing thats random about them

or is the numbers value also random, or is that based on level

[pearl gazelle]

Primary stat is random, number value of that stat is based on the level. All perks are initially random but can be overwritten with anything so it doesn't really matter

[jovial frigate]

aight so grabbing one with the right stat and just shoving materials into it works just fine?

[pearl gazelle]

you can't level up curios like other weapons so you can't pump it to max health/toughness, you have to find it with the max value which is fairly rare

[jovial frigate]

is the highest toughness 17%?

[pearl gazelle]

yeah, health is 21%, stamina is +3 but be careful since some curios show +3 stamina but are actually only +2 in game because of a bug (you want the level to be at least 410 to actually get 3 stam)

[jovial frigate]

noted

thanks

[pearl gazelle]

np!

[jovial frigate]

whats the general opinion of recon lasguns

[balmy moat]

depends on the class

vet/psyker, fantastic

[jovial frigate]

vet

hows it compare to the infantry lasgun

[balmy moat]

more ammo efficient, easier to control, but overall similar in function

preference far as i understand

[lime idol]

easier to use, less headshot reliant, worse over range

[jovial frigate]

hows damage

bout the same?

other than range differences

oh, is there a way to reset weapon masteries

or do I just gotta rank it up more to unlock others instead

do I have to*

[gusty whale]

is it
i find ilas more efficient

well depends on build i suppose

[jovial frigate]

auto weapons seem like they always drain a bit more

[lime idol]

if u hit headshots well, inf las kill the most important enemies faster

[jovial frigate]

What if I suck at headshots

[steep silo]

then recon better

[sick arch]

Is there anyway to make “lights out” modifier more tolerable. I struggle the most with this modifier because even in the real world my dark night vision is not good

[pastel forge]

Ranged weapons with flashlight, exestance, disrupt destiny, execution order

[worthy dew]

torches, yeah

[balmy moat]

if you are on PC, theres a mod called "emperors lantern" to create a ring of light around you, helped me with migraines from lights out missions

[sick arch]

Thanks to all

[rotund ermine]

Try using Range Weapons with Flashlights and IIRC some of the Premium skins as Zealot where the Candles help find teammates in the dark

No joke wearing Skins with candles can help find where your friends are faster

[balmy moat]

if i know we're doing a lot of lights out missions or a lights out havoc or some such, i wear a glowy backpack even

[jovial frigate]

what are the good single target melee weapons on Vet?

other than dueling sword.

[vocal nacelle]

mk6 powersword, combat blade

[jovial frigate]

hows the saw

[vocal nacelle]

chainsword? good allrounder

[jovial frigate]

wide sweeps with heavy charged attacks?

[acoustic sphinx]

Is this gameplay help for tabletop warhammer or am I in the wrong place

[jovial frigate]

gameplay as in darktide

does this server even have a tabletop zone

[vocal nacelle]

try #40k-minis-and-armies

[vocal nacelle]

most weapon have optimal melee combos for horde clear and elites

[jovial frigate]

true but optimal doesnt always mean good so I had to ask

the optimal attack stance of a pencil is jabs, doesnt mean its a good weapon

do power swords in this game have 2 stances like in SM2 or is it just a charged slash like other weapons have

[vocal nacelle]

no gimmick stance like SM2

its weapon special -> 2 hit repeat

power falchion have meter activation

[worthy dew]

no, but they have an animation cancle

that makes the weapon function a lot better

there are 2 loops that use the cancle

[vocal nacelle]

that more of weapon issue, some weapon hit like a wet noodle at certain armor types

[jovial frigate]

what am I lookin at, poower sword?

[vocal nacelle]

chainsword

[jovial frigate]

oh

[worthy dew]

power sword is special>block cancel shove attack, light 1 or special>block cancel light 1 and 2

[vocal nacelle]

mk6

also powersword need powercycler blessing (not using it will make you miserable)

[vocal nacelle]

for mk6 powersword

[jovial frigate]

whats the simplist melee for vet....

[vocal nacelle]

shovel but darktide melee is not mindless left click (exception to certain weapon), you still need to learn the melee terms

[worthy dew]

^

[jovial frigate]

I know but some gotta be easier than others

[gleaming lantern]

shovel is S-tier

[worthy dew]

melee is probably the hardest part of the game imo, spamming can often get you killed

[jovial frigate]

like executioners blade....

[worthy dew]

dueling sword is pretty easy

especially after they removed the poke special

[jovial frigate]

yeah but its sweeps feel bad

unless I was doing the wrong pattern

[worthy dew]

are you only looking for horde clear melee?

[worthy dew]

every weapon has a draw back

gotta pick your poison

[gleaming lantern]

IMO a solid horde clear melee is the right move. Ranged to specials

[gleaming lantern]

folding shovel is solid at both

[jovial frigate]

it folds?

[vocal nacelle]

most weapon is easy except zealot mk 2relic blade

[vocal nacelle]

darktide have weapon variants

[gleaming lantern]

there are 3 marks. 2 fold and the folded special attack is armor piercing

[gleaming lantern]

non-folding is still good too though

[jovial frigate]

oh are these things you get down the mastery line

[worthy dew]

points to unlock extra levels in blessings

and at lvl 7 i think you unlock a new mark

[jovial frigate]

do all melees bounce off of carapace

[worthy dew]

i forget if there is an extra level depending on how many marks

[worthy dew]

no

[vocal nacelle]

if you light attack yes

[worthy dew]

some are good into carapace others not so much

[jovial frigate]

id assume chainsword is good against carapace with its heavy hit

[worthy dew]

no

[jovial frigate]

well thats lore dishartening

[worthy dew]

unfortunate yeah

[gleaming lantern]

chain axe fucks against armor though

[vocal nacelle]

weapon special (rev) -> heavy / push attack

[jovial frigate]

me jugling around stats, skill ceiling, theming and the amount of currency I have in game XD

[worthy dew]

sword for versitility with more horde focus, Axe for versitility and more focus special and elites

at least that's how i would view them

the Chain axes are nice

[gleaming lantern]

I prefer chain axe on zealot rather than vet. For vet I like shovel and tac axe

[worthy dew]

im not a shovel or tac axe fan

[jovial frigate]

are the laspistol and recon lasgun not having recoil a bug?

[worthy dew]

no

[jovial frigate]

weird...

[worthy dew]

lasers should not have recoil XD

[jovial frigate]

Infantry lasgun

[vocal nacelle]

weapon balancing

[jovial frigate]

the true enemy of lore

[vocal nacelle]

@jovial frigate new at darktide?

[jovial frigate]

yes

very

do people actually use hoarde guns? like using ammo for the fodder

[worthy dew]

you can

[vocal nacelle]

depends on the difficulty

[worthy dew]

but i feel like if we overload you with info we could ruin the game for you

[vocal nacelle]

high diff its a waste of ammo

[jovial frigate]

nah I can soak it all in

[worthy dew]

hmmm

recommendation

[jovial frigate]

listening

[worthy dew]

learn dodging and 360s

[jovial frigate]

360s?

[worthy dew]

looking around*

its a tactic you might want to employ in every horde shooter

[vocal nacelle]

situational awareness

[jovial frigate]

well dodging im ok with coming from vermintide

[worthy dew]

i feel like this is ancillary, because you wont be aware of your situation before you learn

hehe

gotta get abused enough before you learn that

[gleaming lantern]

the only ranged weapon I use on hordes is flamer on zealot and psyker staffs since they have unlimited ammo

[worthy dew]

recon las guns are okay to use into hordes

provided you have enough crit chance

[gleaming lantern]

yea, they melt hordes, it just eats up ammo

[worthy dew]

no

they dont eat much ammo

depending on your crit

[jovial frigate]

I mean im what some people would call cheating? my audio response time is very very bad cuz I get overwhelmed with sounds, so I have a thing on that puts little waves in a circle around my reticle to help point me to major things like barrels and elites

[worthy dew]

mods are fine as long as you dont used them to brag about skill

[jovial frigate]

nah. and I turned off the one that finds hidden stuff

[worthy dew]

using it as an accessibility feature is valid

[jovial frigate]

and ill say it now. this thing hasnt saved me once

also

this game is DARK

tide

I do wish this game had an auto fire setting so I can click and hold.

that mods broken rn

[vocal nacelle]

simple explanation :

melee tap = light attack
melee hold = heavy attack
block + tap = shove attack
block + hold = push attack
sprint + crouch = sprint slide (use stamina)
dodge + crouch = dodge slide (use dodge count)

when to use dodge ? avoid melee hits or anything close to you
when to sprint slide ? avoid ranged hits , dont sprint slide to avoid melee hits because enemy melee have lock on (exception on hivescum or high mobility weapon like combat blade)

[jovial frigate]

yeah that seems all the same as vermintide

[worthy dew]

if you actually run out of ammo im not sure how

[jovial frigate]

thats not much of a hoarde to be fair

[worthy dew]

exactly

i would have more ammo

if i had more things to crit on

[jovial frigate]

crits give you ammo?

[worthy dew]

yes

[jovial frigate]

is that a recon thing for a vet thing

[vocal nacelle]

veteran talent, crit doesnt eat ammo

[worthy dew]

bigger horde = more ammo

[jovial frigate]

oh cool thats down the path im goin

[worthy dew]

im not evena fan of the las gun

[jovial frigate]

cuz ill be real, id rather use the infantry lasgun. but I cant stand all this clicking

[worthy dew]

but these past few months have been kind to the recon

[jovial frigate]

can you show me ur recon btw

[worthy dew]

im a weird player, ignore the perks

[jovial frigate]

im doin what was recommended to me yestreday

[worthy dew]

this is just a test gun

[jovial frigate]

Maniac and Unyielding

[worthy dew]

im a vraks enjoyer

[worthy dew]

this is the better perk pool

i kinda just maxed one and slapped blessings on to show

[jovial frigate]

also do crits ignore armor

[jovial frigate]

whats the better blessings then

[worthy dew]

the blessings im using are right

the perks are wrong

[jovial frigate]

ah ok

[vocal nacelle]

be careful when copying build /watch YT "meta" vids

[jovial frigate]

and stability is the dump stat as usual lol

[worthy dew]

facts

[jovial frigate]

I was recommended it here

[vocal nacelle]

here is fine

[jovial frigate]

only thing I didnt get from here is the theemd build im following from this E dude

[worthy dew]

collateral

imo

[vocal nacelle]

wrong suggestion will result 15 min argument

[vocal nacelle]

ew E

[worthy dew]

recon las gun does technically have recoil and it will get in the way of you sniping targets

which the gun CAN still do

[jovial frigate]

im already in the way of sniping targets

whats collateral even do

[vocal nacelle]

Stagger

[worthy dew]

might need more testing but im testing withering fire on the recon to see if i will finally like the gun as much as the IAG

[jovial frigate]

I figgured stagger was stopping force

[worthy dew]

stagger and recoil

[jovial frigate]

wait I thought stability was recoil

[worthy dew]

edited

just stagger

[vocal nacelle]

Inspect the stats

[jovial frigate]

oh you can hover

stagger from this thing I feel like wouldnt stop a fly

[worthy dew]

on guns you generally dont want stagger

stagger + supression makes enemies duck, hide, and run for cover which can make them harder to deal with

[jovial frigate]

so is the 8080808060 thing only for melee or?

[vocal nacelle]

Most weapon

[worthy dew]

for most weapons

some ppl like lower than 60 on certain stats

[jovial frigate]

HEY I CAN SEND IMAGES NOW?!?!?!

[worthy dew]

mostly psyker weapons and the plasma gun on vet

[jovial frigate]

anyway ive done these.

but like I said I cant stand clicking so much

[vocal nacelle]

Upgrade the blessing at hadrons

[jovial frigate]

they arent maxed, just the highest I can do rn

[worthy dew]

oooh the buff mod is working again?

[vocal nacelle]

Mastery sticker book only unlock the blessing you can apply

[worthy dew]

might be the only one i redownload

[jovial frigate]

buff mod?

oh the info thing?

[worthy dew]

you have a mod for your talent, blessings and keyword description

[jovial frigate]

yeah, enhanced info

[worthy dew]

yeah, been a while since i used it XD

[jovial frigate]

runnin these. collectible doesnt even work right so

idk why enhanced gets to be fancy

[worthy dew]

health bars warps the way you play the game

but again im not here to judge

they are all fine learning tools

[jovial frigate]

I just love how it looks. the bars dont show up until I damage them so they dont reveal enemies

but coming from stuff like destiny and mmos, I love seeing a health bar drop

ESPECIALLY with Smite when I tried Psyker

[worthy dew]

the wall of red was fun?

[jovial frigate]

very

watching it all tick down

I had to turn off stuff like "armor type" and "dps summary" cuz it was cluttering it up

I might swap damage numbers out for DPS instead so its one number

[shrewd cloak]

also warframe fan detected hi

[jovial frigate]

yeah hi :D

[worthy dew]

if you care for finding out what works for you i would reccommend creature spawner if it's working

[jovial frigate]

ive just been in the meat grinder

[worthy dew]

its a good resource to check Break Points

[jovial frigate]

hardest part about testing in this game is im POOR

[worthy dew]

but you are here

and this community is rich in knowledge and misleading information

🙂

[jovial frigate]

like most

but yeah enemies kinda are obvious where weak points are so far. like I said I player Vermin so im used to beast men and chaos warriors with the head not always being the weak point

the dogs in this game are horrifying.

tho they have the poise of a napkin

im runnin this so far.

for now ill just stick to my theme and go with combat blade and recon

[worthy dew]

that's a solid path

[jovial frigate]

its from the E guy

[worthy dew]

out for blood idk about though

but keep it for now

[jovial frigate]

I jsut typed in the theme I wanted and it was the only one lol

[worthy dew]

Mister E?

[jovial frigate]

yeah

his schooby doo channel

[worthy dew]

i am not sure what' other's opinions are of Mister E, but i think it's a fine channel to learn the game off of, or i guess try builds from

i've never done so, but some of his builds are similar to mine, and arent bad imo

i think i value things a little differently than others in the community though, so take that with a grain of salt

[languid jewel]

Out for blood ir really good for tghnss in melee

[worthy dew]

maybe im just not privy to what would contest the slot?

i pretty much always just take the max amount of damage i can, or close to it

TDR and confirmed kills usually keep you topped up

[jovial frigate]

its a sign.

[shrewd cloak]

nice pool noodle

[jovial frigate]

what 60 do I want on a chainsword.

they all seem useful

[stoic locust]

Mobility

Mobility is almost always stat of least priority

[jovial frigate]

less dodges and slower move speed....

[stoic locust]

You don't lose any dodges

And barely lose speed

If the speed is an issue take a fast moving ranged weapon

[jovial frigate]

huh?

[stoic locust]

Its fine past 51%

Nobody even remembers that number anymore

[jovial frigate]

ah

ok then

my lasgun has that too

so I need a new one...

[stoic locust]

Thats a perfect roll

[jovial frigate]

wouldnt I want less stability on a lasgun

[stoic locust]

The stat cap is 80

[jovial frigate]

I know

[stoic locust]

Just Empower it later

Keep it in your pocket for when you want it

[jovial frigate]

I was told 80/80/80/80/60 earlier

for most weapons

and lasguns dont really recoil

[stoic locust]

Inflas has a ton of visual recoil

Unless they fixed it

[jovial frigate]

doesnt feel like alot, say compared to the burst fire rifle

[stoic locust]

They probably reduced it

[jovial frigate]

cool

whats the 2 perks people use on chainsword

[stoic locust]

No idea i hate it

[jovial frigate]

noted

[worthy dew]

it sitll has recoil

[jovial frigate]

barefly

[worthy dew]

just not a lot

again, it mostly matters if you are going to be shooting enemies from farther

which you should in case of snipers and gunners

also missing those shots is negative ammo value

[worthy dew]

this is the correct roll either way

or

almost

stopping power dumpy

[jovial frigate]

The roll im told to pick has changed 3 times now since yesterday ahhhh

[vocal nacelle]

Flak + carapace/maniac/ unyielding

[jovial frigate]

Blessings sorry

[vocal nacelle]

It depends for blessing

[jovial frigate]

Wait why flak and not the normal maniac with unyielding

[worthy dew]

the ONLY stat that is detrimental on the gun is stagger via collateral

[vocal nacelle]

Stronger mobs have flak body armor, gunner shotgunner also have flak

[jovial frigate]

Flak unyielding it is

[vocal nacelle]

And mauler body, scab rager head

[vocal nacelle]

Unyielding is monster and ogryn gunner

[worthy dew]

bulwarks as well

[past pendant]

Hi folks, can someone help me with "Just a Flesh wound" penance?

[worthy dew]

which one is that again?

[past pendant]

complete mission in under 20 min with less than a wound hp

[worthy dew]

if you give me a few i could try helping

usually you want to put stuff like that in the lfg channelse though

just to avoid any problems

you can message me your FatShark code or copy the numbers at the end of my name and past it in the find player section

[past pendant]

ok wait a min

[past pendant]

nvm mods corrupted game files, I will pm you in half an hour or so, if you will be free still

[worthy dew]

i should be

[charred bloom]

What do the different types of damage markers mean? Some times when I hit enemies i get blue, red or orange markers. Im not sure what they all indicate?

[little coyote]

Blue is reduced or no damage, because of the armour of the enemy. Red is a killing hit and an orange is a crit. Doubled cross is a weak point hit

[last trout]

@jovial frigate Cute pfp

[charred bloom]

Got it thanks

[analog hawk]

Yall know a fast way of getting the penances for the expeditions?

[gusty whale]

malice gaming or so I'm told

[analog hawk]

Alr8 thx

[jovial frigate]

Thank you

[last trout]

They don't have difficulty requirements so yeh

[rotund ermine]

need to double check something is the Extraction Failure Server issue right?

[lime idol]

Speedrun malice 100 times

[open sedge]

I'm coming back to the game, is there a good resource for like generally what type of left clicky (hold etc) and/or combo you should do for each weapon or will I just need to inspect the MVs of each hit? Idk how much has changed since I stopped especially with how you can freely change weapon marks and blessings

I assume it'll vary by class and relevant breakpoints but like broadly crowdclear vs single target strings

[keen flume]

All class channels have their own guides with the weapon breakdowns and movesets

[open sedge]

Oh okay now I have something to look at for the rest of my workday

Do these tend to vary between class or nah

Like crusher on arbi same as zealot or would I check both?

[keen flume]

There might be some key differences for each class when comes to the choice of perks and blessings

But for crusher example it pretty much same for both classes

[open sedge]

Sweet ty! ❤️

[wheat karma]

anybody elses game keep crashing about 10-15 seconds into a mission

no matter what i've done, scoreboard on or off. Verified files, change classes, or re-downloaded the game. it continues to do so

[velvet quiver]

do you get the crashify report after?
if yes, copy to clipboard and drop it, I might be able to let u know how to fix it

[wheat karma]

Theres nothing helpful in the logs.

I've done did scan through it. But i can again when i get home

[velvet quiver]

at which point of the loading process do you crash? pre-Press Space, at Op select, at Mourningstar or?
P.S. I dunno why I asked, you said "10-15sec after mission start" disregard xD

[wheat karma]

Lmao yea

[velvet quiver]

in any rate, try to replicate the crash when you get home and lemme know, I have a few suggestions

[echo cape]

For the tech-hunter penance do i need to get all of that tech rem in one run on does amount carry over?

[velvet quiver]

there's no chance in the Emperor's sacred throne that you can get 250,000 PC parts in 1 run 😅 It accumulates over time so "in total"

[storm flame]

"Local squad of thugs and deserters trips over and finds STC more at 11"

[velvet quiver]

what's STC stand for? those fancy-shmancy news agencies think we're all a bunch of egg heads that done did their higher college educational degrees and whatnot...

I may or may not have tipped over a bowl of peanuts while acting stupid just to ironically...be stupid. I shouldn't be my own defense attorney...

[storm flame]

Basically 40ks version of blueprints from when times were good , the mechanicus will immediately throw anything and the kitchen sink at something if it means getting a fragment of one. Like some guardmens found a intact one which was for a slightly better combat knife they were then put on charge of a world as a reward so its a big deal (tm)

[velvet quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/admech-techpriest-good-varlet-hadron-omega-7-7-hadron-omega-gif-10325245944154593888 - Good varlet! Here's a lasgun, now go do a war crime. pat pat

[storm flame]

Yea there's non zero chance the varlet will be rewarded by getting serviotor'ed

[cursive granite]

The Space Marines use that Knife lol

[languid sail]

did FS fuck with enemy spawns on Clandestium Gloriana? never seen enemies spawn here (and further ahead before you drop down into the mission proper)

doesn't make sense cause swagger is just standing there, yapping away while surrounded by heretics lmao

[cold moon]

Yeah enemy spawns are borked and can spawn right after loading into a mission

since the Beyond the Hive update released last Tuesday

[hushed mauve]

Fixed an issue where the Veteran talent “Field Improvisation” awarded Blitz charges when obtaining ammo in a Deadsider Sanctuary.

this was no issue but i guess we can't have nice things xD

[steep silo]

You will buy your separate grenade pickup and you will be happy

[last crypt]

Legit went from happily reading notes to instantly losing motivation to play today lol

Shit is so unnescessary

[hushed mauve]

i saw it comign tbh

they wnat the nades refill to be expensive

and the vet node made the nade refill ultracheap

[last crypt]

Veteran with grenade refill every 1ish minute

[hushed mauve]

yeah xD

[last crypt]

Even then i just wont buy ammo now ill just buy an ammo crate and use that lmao

[hushed mauve]

vet no care just all teh others

[last crypt]

benefits the whole team vs refil ammo only for myself

[hushed mauve]

IF it is there

[last crypt]

in the long run imo better spend of scrap

[last crypt]

ive seen it pretty much every run, maybe im just lucky

[hushed mauve]

possible

[strange thunder]

field improv was mostly for the rest of the team to get it

[charred bloom]

Are zealot throwing knives good against flak armour?

[strange thunder]

these are the ADMs for it, so it's not that good

585 base damage

[restive jewel]

did the game get harder

dont remember auric maelstorm being this hard

[strange thunder]

don't think there was a change to that

[vocal nacelle]

more terror point for terror event and weird spawn place

[dapper shard]

More Terror event „spawn tickets” for AI Director were only enabled for Havoc, no?

[vocal nacelle]

wait i forgot, then the weird enemy spawn issue then

[clear plume]

Not currently working

[dapper shard]

[clear plume]

Ambiance spawns in pre progression is something weird

We'll see what fatshark says later

[dapper shard]

Just in Havoc or regular board Auric too?

[clear plume]

Unsure

I only play havoc

But i've seen people talk about it in non havoc

[dapper shard]

Fair - my remark was more so about the Terror event changes supposedly affecting Havoc only, so it shouldn’t occur in regular Adventure

[safe lichen]

Is it just me, or do not all the players of the "Previous Mission" show up in the whole tab?

I want to block this one player, but ID isn't showing up for me.

[limpid lagoon]

I just hit lvl 30, what's the way to get endgame equipment?

[balmy moat]

buy from melk, or brunt, gamble for the proper stats, upgrade at hadron

[limpid lagoon]

Allright, thank you for the help!

[limpid lagoon]

the max of a stat is always 80%?

[steep silo]

Yes

You can get 4 stats at 80% and 1 at 60%

[balmy moat]

sometimes you want perfectly like that

there are some special cases where thats not the case

mostly psyker, but then also one thing on vet and one on ogryn

plasma gun, i think, then also ripper gun for oggy

then fun things like this for psyker

[limpid lagoon]

ok, then it's get lucky at melk or buy from store(or drop) and upgrade it

thanks again for the help

[eternal mortar]

Come the fuck on

[thick acorn]

whats up with whole ass hordes spawning in the start area of maps this patch?

relay station elevator and gloriana swagger start area has spawns

[graceful raptor]

also noticed that, funny

[thick acorn]

metalfab too, before you even open the start vault door, there are enemies

[eternal mortar]

Full reinstall did not fix this

Guess I dont play Darktide anymore

[wheat night]

AMD user?

[eternal mortar]

Yup...

[keen flume]

The expeditions update fucked up the enemy spawns in missions somehow

[hollow dock]

why dont i have my prison outfit in the inventory anymore

personality scourge doesnt give it back either

[clear plume]

what class are you on?

[hollow dock]

ogryn

[clear plume]

Unsure then, havent heard of any bugs about that yet

[hollow dock]

i really want it back ):

[wheat karma]

breaking news

the patch has fixed my crashing xd

unsure what it was or why. but i can game again

[keen flume]

The inquisition has earned your full respect and honour, you are not a reject no more

[hollow dock]

ogryn like pajamas

[shadow skiff]

Probably best to bug report it.

[eternal mortar]

Is there just no fix?

[vocal nacelle]

ask in forum

[restive jewel]

anybody having problems with amd gpus after update.

it is stuttering a lot

[short gazelle]

do you get 1 havoc chest overall, or 1 per char

[frigid pebble]

How does XP for weapon masteries work, and what is the most efficient way to grind em?

[short gazelle]

mortis trials

[balmy moat]

resources are accountwide, so, 1 per week, for the account

[short gazelle]

the more use you get the more exp you get, generally

[balmy moat]

if you have ordo, brunt armoury spam buy, upgrade to green, sacrifice at hadron

and, weapons of the same category will do more xp

ie, combat knife is best sacrificed for combat knife mastery, tac axe best for tac axe mastery, etc

[sinful summit]

aside from what hexis said, using the weapon in missions you win gives you xp, and it is exclusively tied to the difficulty and only the difficulty

losing a mission gives nothing, and the lengths of missions/modes has no bearing

[short gazelle]

does auric mortis give the most plasteel

[vocal nacelle]

no

just run normal damnation it can spawn 805 plasteel (+QP bonus)

[vocal nacelle]

1 chest weekly

[frigid pebble]

How does Havoc work exactly, higher number equals harder? and how come you can't solo queue, is it a way to gatekeep noobs?

[vocal nacelle]

more enemy buff and player debuff if you play higher havoc rank, quickplay doesnt exist on havoc need premade team / party finder

[frigid pebble]

Ik about the need for a premade team, was just curious as to why.

[vocal nacelle]

no QP to prevent mass team switching when someone die

[frigid pebble]

What does that mean, people leaving and having others join?

[vocal nacelle]

yes, you can do it on normal mode

its one of the annoying thing in darktide

[frigid pebble]

People rage quiting cuz they died?

[balmy moat]

i think they even removed the ability to manually join someones active havoc because people were selling their slots to give people true survivor and shit, but thats a rumor i heard, not based in fact

[vocal nacelle]

respawn abuse

[frigid pebble]

Could you elaborate on the buffs and debuffs?

[balmy moat]

no toughness grace period, means once toughness is empty, your hp gets wrecked

theres two tiers

I and II, II is ofc more severe

[frigid pebble]

If you're dead and join back doesn't the game spawn you still dead?

[balmy moat]

then theres hidden things like psykers generating more peril, and quelling peril slower

[frigid pebble]

Why the need for 40 levels if there's only 2 tiers?

[balmy moat]

tier 1 starts about lvl 20 (?)

2 starts about 35?

[vocal nacelle]

its a bit weird, the bot need to stay alive if you/new player managed to join your character get half health (not dead)

[vocal nacelle]

a lot more than that

all the debuff will get applied/upgraded depending what havoc rank you play

dont worry about if you are new

[frigid pebble]

I'm a returning player just tryna get some more information because It seems kinda scary lol. Wanna make sure Ik what's up

[vocal nacelle]

the BS only starts at 30+

below that its fine

[frigid pebble]

Aight, I appreciate your help!

[gleaming lantern]

Do people still play Mortis Trials? I was taking a break when that released so never played it while I assume it was busy

[crisp owl]

Just take your time climbing, don’t rush to 40 immediately, best would be to find a group to play with in the lfg channels, playing with randoms can be frustrating at times

[umbral pond]

ok 2 things

one: THIS SHIT IS SO FUN
two: No way I got to hear Masozi call Hadron a slur

also I love how obvious it is that they knew what characters we like
Hadron and Masozi were a PERFECT pick for this
even if Swagger reminds me of Pocket Cat and I have mixed feelings about that

[dapper shard]

Hey, question - does anyone have some insight on what is the pure corruption damage inflicted by "radiation" tick-rate like, in Expeditions?

• how often it ticks?
• for how much damage?
• how much time post crossing the time limit does it take until the tick rate accelerates (either that or damage increases), and how many acceleration thresholds are there?

Thanks in advance.

[vocal nacelle]

From what i found

corruption_base_damage = 40
corruption_tick_time = 0.5s
corruption_time_power = 1.02

[charred bloom]

How do I obtain curios?

[umbral pond]

I'm sorry, Grimoires deal HOW MUCH CORRUPTION EVERY HALF-A-DAMN-SECOND?!

[faint perch]

Melk Store or as a mission reward

Or regular shop for gear (armoury)

[vocal nacelle]

1.2 corruption damage every 10s

[steep silo]

For Grims I'm fairly certain the "base damage" of 40 is just the initial pickup, not the ticking amount

[pure marsh]

OK real talk how do I avoid getting hit by crushersi feel like i play fairly well most of the time and can run low havoc and a uric with no problems 90% of the time until I get hit with a overhead for ky entire hp bar

[soft violet]

Personally? I circle dodge while attacking and hoping a grenade from a karking teammate is about to blow them the hell up.

[dapper shard]

Some thoughts on this:

• 40 doesn't seem like the initial number the tick rate starts at - is it scaling with time, up to value of 40? I'm confused by this/this doesn't help with my understanding - it doesn't add up with what I saw in-game,
• With this in mind, there could be value that gets calculated based on <some> value, which scales the value of 40 down, and that would be the starting tick damage. Is corruption_time_power 1.02 suggesting that this is the rate at which the tick damage accelerates?
• Is the tick time in seconds? What does 0.5 stand for? Is it every 0.5s, or is it every 2.0s? Something else?

I was hoping for a technical breakdown without having to myself dig into the code

Kuli's guides usually have info on this, just not this bit

[sick arch]

How does one obtain these pemamces or is it no longer possible ?

[dapper shard]

It should be achievable by completing Silo Cluster on Auric threat level.

Auric used to be a separate mission board up until a certain update - hence the wording on penance, since it wasn’t updated alongside.

[sick arch]

So if i pick auric difficulty and then pick the special assingments and manually select that map from the campaign list it will work ? Or does it need to be on the mission board that has modifiers?

[dapper shard]

I don’t know - Auric board used to always come up with missions that had additional mods, like High Intensity + Power outage, but I haven’t a clue whether that’s currently a requirement or is only the Auric bit important.

The penance says it just should just be Silo Cluster map on Auric level difficulty, so try that first

[vocal nacelle]

its similar with grimoire corruption tick & damage 1.2 corruption damage every 10s

[split plinth]

hello is it normal I cannot tick havoc for party finder ?

[void forge]

Have you unlocked havoc?

Or you might need to clear your filters with the E button

To unlock havoc you need to beat a maelstrom btw

[split plinth]

in auric or any ?

but i think yes because I can open the havoc menu

[void forge]

Any maelstrom to unlock it. Doing an auric will unlock h16 though so it will be quicker progression to do that

Ok you probably just need to clear your filters then

[split plinth]

ok thank you it worked, it was due to the fact i ticked a difficulty in filter

[languid sail]

extra rashuns for any FS employee who sneakily lowers the requirement by, like.. 50k

[pastel forge]

what if they lowered it by 100k

:3

[strange thunder]

nah, let ppl work for orange titles

[pastel forge]

ok then

lower it by 99,999 salvage

final offer

[strange thunder]

I think I'm at like 19k from only doing auric runs

[gleaming lantern]

I'm at ~5600 doing exclusively aurics. At that rateits like 15-20 weeks of just playing Expeditions.

I don't really care all that much since 'Salvage Lord' is a pretty meh title

If I wanted a better title I'd finish 'Havoc Exemplar' even though I just don't really care for Havoc itself.

[latent drift]

hi. how obtain 510 weapons?

[balmy moat]

cant

500 is max

[latent drift]

discard filter 510 max can choose

[balmy moat]

it means everything below 510, its fatshark being fatshark

500 is maximum

there is no 510

[latent drift]

thx

[eager flame]

How close are you to unlocking your 18th zone?

[latent drift]

thx

[near breach]

error code 2014

[strange thunder]

happens

[lime idol]

There is no 18th zone yet

There’re only 8 atm?

[strange thunder]

ye

[lime idol]

Either they’re rotating stuff out or they’re adding stuff in over time

[strange thunder]

would've been nice to know what they had planned for the future

since I'm guessing they didn't talk about that in the new devblog

[safe lichen]

Is there some kind of bug with the plasma gun?

I say 7 or 8 times times I whip it out -- my player is jammed to strafing left constantly. & it's always left.

I don't have this problem with my other Veteran main guns nor my non-main guns.

So bloody annoying in Auric & Auric Maelstrom difficulty.

[sweet bear]

Hey gamers. I just recently finished creating a checklist for each of the Darktide classes along with their weapons and common dump stats that I've found. I was wondering if anyone could check it out and let me know if there are any inaccuracies or if there's any important weapons that I'm missing.
Here is the link to it:
https://draynoth.github.io/darktide-gear-checklist/

[vernal frigate]

Not so sure about dumping finesse on combat axe

[balmy moat]

hard disagree

[sweet bear]

Finesse is there because the Combat Axe changes from Finesse to Cleave Targets if you change it over to Mk V, and from what I gather it's what you prefer to dump on that specific Mark. Mobility is used for the other 2 marks.

[sweet bear]

Would you mind explaining the reason? I added damage as a dump stat option because I saw a guide mention taking it if you don't have any skills that increase damage on high peril and I assume the weapon works just like the Flamer where the main damage is the DoT rather then the initial hit which is what the damage stat affects.

[gusty whale]

want lower warp resist because it barely generates any and you want peril

[sweet bear]

I've added both damage and warp resist as options on the checklist. I do agree that Warp Resist seems like the better option most of the time

[balmy moat]

there is never a case for dumping damage on inferno

there is on zealot flamer

but not inferno

if someone is making the choice to forgo warp rider, there is even less reason to dump damage

its the raw DPS staff

and, you'd have to forgo both warp rider and warp nexus to not want peril

[smoky ember]

all the time, really

[sweet bear]

Thanks, I'll probably toss that check off the list then next time I update it. I literally only added it there cause of 1 guide pretty much mentioning it. I've not tested a lot of these weapons myself hence I'm relying on a lot of feedback from the people that know their stuff.

[balmy moat]

for psyker things, we have a build guide in the psyker chat pins that iirc six has updated to include weaponry data

was community effort, he put it together

[sweet bear]

I've used that as a source, it's a great guide

[open sedge]

if you queue quickplay on private do you get the bonuses without randos?

[vocal nacelle]

You can't do solo private

[balmy moat]

quickplay also removes the private setting from being active

if you as a squad of 2 or more quickplay, you get placed in a public game

[velvet quiver]

does the devil claw sword's parry return damage scale with crit? cuz I swear i've seen identical attacks being parried by different classes and sometimes it does a little chunk while other times it does like half their health...

[strange thunder]

parry isn't returning anything, it's just a separate very strong attack that behaves like any other attack pattern

so it has the same normal damage breakdown in to various ADMs and for crit, weakpsot, and weakspot crit

the only other special thing is that it always deal major stagger to ragers, regardless of where they're hit

[velvet quiver]

i always thought it was a return of the damage that was being introduced, so if you're about to take 80 damage you return 80 damage

[strange thunder]

no

it'd be very bad if that was the case

[velvet quiver]

🤔 hmm

[strange thunder]

since you have a lot less HP than your enemies

[velvet quiver]

thx

Doesn't surprise me

dude's a worms for brain

[shadow skiff]

Is like, 1 in 100 takes of his is reasonable.

[gusty whale]

he is perhaps entertaining in how wrong he is but i would not consider him for any actual advice

[quick zinc]

anyone knows what exactly the trickster special action for scums akimbo pistols dopes and how it works? like does it just empower the next shot?

[vocal nacelle]

Boost accuracy and crit bonus

[quick zinc]

ah ok

well it also makes me feel cool

[vocal nacelle]

only if you dont miss the shot

[quick zinc]

is that a challenge?

[gusty whale]

pistol go spin sniper go splat

[velvet quiver]

yup

guy's a fucking moron that has the unique superpower to put out a 30min long video that's a huge nothing burger...I swear, I can synthesize his 30min videos into 5 to 10 sec long summaries. Him and a couple more of the paid shills have this superiority complex and elitist attitude about the sphere of content they reside in that's...incredible. Anyone opposing their view (which is 8 out of 10 times wrong btw) is immeditely submitted to attacks from their mindless drone followers, which is another pile of dung I'm not willing to get into. The simple fact even the content creators that do collabs with them can't stand them is proof enough but they're forced to suck their ass gas because...well...viewer counts. :/

[restive jewel]

unfortunately viewer counts is their ultimate goal

drama and bait gets more clicks

[velvet quiver]

facts. sadly, this game needs more people that explain shit, not ego hungry megalomaniacs...there's enough of those already.

[languid sail]

didn't mind him for a while, but when he crashed out on FS for having mandatory time off, like it was a bad thing, after Arbites came out and the left keystone was bugged (still extremely powerful), i just kinda rolled my eyes. truly an 'american moment'
