Someone?

[glossy gale]

Does anyone know if there is a fix for this bug that's happening to me? My build is getting like half refunded on the hive scum over and over again

[vocal nacelle]

Bots can trigger mines so you want full team

[vocal nacelle]

Wait for few sec and just close the talent menu dont switch to weapon menu will reset the tree

[glossy gale]

Ill try that

[bleak tundra]

Hey guys do you know if increasing difficulty earn more remnants in expeditions? or should i just speed farm malice?

[strange thunder]

it does not

[bleak tundra]

ty

and does it affect the bosses spawn rate?

[shadow skiff]

Technically by having more shit you can walk into and trip over that causes more and more to spawn.

Is why the minmax way to play it is on malice.

[charred bloom]

When i consecrate curios do both the blessing and perk stats improve?

[clear plume]

the main buff never changes

when you update the color it only add perk slots

to have more active sub perks

[charred bloom]

Ok so should I only be looking for max rolls on the main buff

[clear plume]

Yes

are you max level?

The shops are weighted against you until you are max

[charred bloom]

Nah im not

So i should wait till im 30?

[clear plume]

wait till you are max to try for the highest/maxed items

yeah

waste of materials

[charred bloom]

Do my curios carry over to other characters?

[clear plume]

just make sure to check the hourly shop for curiuos

it might have a good one

no

weapons/curios dont carry over

materials and weapon mastery does

[charred bloom]

Ok thanks a bunch

When you pick up the crystal for the ship, & everyone rushes ahead to get to the ship but leaves in the dust said downed crystal wayyy behind. During a Hi Intensity Shock Troop Auric.

What a wiping waste.

[opaque lodge]

Anyone know if the quickplay bonus applies to tech remnants?

[strange thunder]

no

[wraith sinew]

do you get more tech remnants on higher difficulty?

[steep silo]

no

same amount of scraps and tech across all difficulties

[solemn roost]

putting a fucking wind in front of the valkyre so we couldnt board was the final nail in the coffin for this mode for me

[hushed mauve]

thats a classic xD

[velvet quiver]

otherwise you risk getting sploojed under it, their orders are to land on the AO and exfil, not to watch where they're landing xD can you imagine...dying from the valkyrie would be the dumbest shit ever

don't worry, it's typical FS nonsense, they're gonna roll around with it a few months and get it right eventually...at this point it's SOP (standard operating procedure) on Obese Carcharadon's side

i'm not excusing anything, I'm simply saying

[shadow skiff]

Pretty sure they meant the invulnerable unstoppable blightstorm sat on it so they couldn't get on.

[rotund ermine]

made some tests, Do not throw this when you're about to extract. When I throw this support utility before my teammates call in Masozi, she would have some delays to spawn in but when my teammates called in extraction she would stop and proceed to extract you. This is useless when extract is called. Can I call this a massive bug?

💀

[civic kindle]

why would you only call it before extraction? the fire support valkyrie lasts the entire zone and follows you aorund

I mean, it's still a bug if it doesn't do anything after extraction was called, obviously

[rotund ermine]

I was testing it because strangely the Barrel Airstrikes works even when Masozi is extracting you

(100 Salvage airstrike)

[cold moon]

Only method for more remnants is to play Zeta node with the more scavenging zones modifier. That makes the node have 5 regions full of objectives instead of 3.

Requires an extra 10-15 minutes to complete a Zeta mission, but the rate of remnants earned is doubled on average.

[charred bloom]

If i find a weapon with 60% in the dumpstat I want can i consecrate/ empower it straight away?

Or is there anything else I need to look out for

[steep silo]

if it has the stats you're looking for you can just upgrade it

[charred bloom]

Ok also is there anyway I can access previous events, I see in melk’s tab, when i didnt have the game

[steep silo]

Nope, no clue why they're even displayed there since they ended

[charred bloom]

Ah shame, thanks

[lofty herald]

Am i just that bad? i know havoc difficulty scaling was upped. but before we were pushing 31/32. and now 24/25 is nearly impossible. you get 2-3 monstrosities at the same time as having 2 LTs and a metric s ton of specialists

[clear plume]

1 min, I can check into it furthur

but to my knowledge there is no pacing change with havoc since season 2.0

terror points doesnt make sense here

is why I am confused

thats not a havoc ting

[lofty herald]

Well, now you can read those 2 things above and now you know its harder

[clear plume]

I love how everyday Jsat's point gets proven even furthur

[lucid epoch]

terror affects events only iirc

otherwise the big thing that might be fucking your team is the fact that rotten armor is just in rotation rn

plus moebian 21st mod sometimes fucks with sound cues/performance

[latent mica]

jsat? is he alive?

[clear plume]

I think there bug with ambaince at start on some mission as well

might make it feel like pacing is changed

[clear plume]

ish

[lucid epoch]

he plays from time to time but he quite literally hates interacting with this community

[clear plume]

for a good reason

[lucid epoch]

the one time i asked him about this discord he said "do yourself a favor and leave that server and never come back"

[lucid epoch]

yeah honestly if you don't like being "at the zoo" i fully understsand it

[clear plume]

yeah

[balmy moat]

spawns are fucked

we're getting expedition patrols in normal missions, so that can also be why as ainz said

(sometimes they also open the martyr skull doors which i find really amusing)

had a dreg seed, with only dreg ragers/gunners, with @rare vessel in an auric duo, then suddenly, MASSIVE scab rager pack armour blob

[clear plume]

The main point that was brought up was about boss spawns

so if the change that is listed in the dev notes actually is working as intended then it wouldnt have changed anything

probably experienced overlapping triggers/progression skips/start of progression limit with max_monsters

[balmy moat]

could also be an occassional bug, didnt you mention it being odd to get a 3rd monstrosity during your current solo attempts?

so if someone gets more than intended it could be spaghetti striking again

[clear plume]

.

Last line

Don't know technical term, Kuli might know

I just know it's the start of special pacing interacting with max_monsters

[vocal nacelle]

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

[clear plume]

Not mentioned here

It's a weird havoc bug

I could probably get in contact with the poster of that and ask him

Or Kuli

Or both honesty

[rare vessel]

The change made should solely be for terror events, which are:

"Increases a point modifier which scales the 'point cost' of enemies. Point costs are considered by the game as part of one of several systems to spawn enemies during terror events. This effectively increases the spawns of enemies during these events. 'Terror events' are all premade events in the game that are not controlled by the usual AI director. These events are essentially a list of elements/actions that is activated when players reach a certain area or start a map event. The game will then go through that list in order until the end or until some other action/event stops it midway."

[rare vessel]

I don't know of any changes to boss spawns. There continues to be the bug of multiple weakened boss spawns before pacing starts properly.

[clear plume]

Yeah, that's what I understand

[keen dove]

Gameplay is noticeably shittier experience since the patch. GG Fatshark.

[wraith sinew]

How are we supposed to get Explorator Prime 3 (18 grid points) when there is only 8 on the map, am I missing something?

[vocal nacelle]

new map rotation prob

[languid jewel]

I was wondering that too

But it looks like they are gonna expand it to the right

But thats just my guess

Because it looks like the lines allready continue on the right side but no points yet.

[shadow skiff]

So don't need to do them?

[balmy moat]

sometimes, yeah

[shadow skiff]

Stutters and hitches? I suspect due to the increased spawns. It's not like their engine is already on the edge and yet they keep pushing it.

[shadow skiff]

Fatshark.

[lusty mango]

anyone can help me do the shocking stuff penance?

[short light]

Has anyone achieved the Tech-hunter (3) penance yet? Is it any way not to feel miserable doing it? 250k is just too much

[cold moon]

Zeta node with more objectives modifier. Takes an extra 10-15 minutes compared to other nodes, but twice the rate of remnants earned. Malice difficulty of course.

#darktide-pics-vids message

[short light]

Does it take too long? I mean.. It's 250k

[cold moon]

Let say on average I obtain 5500 remnants per mission on Zeta, that would be 45 46 games in total to get 250K remnants.

And usually the time to complete a mission is 38-45 minutes.

Assuming the team splits into 2 groups to complete all points of interests in an area which normally happens for Zeta node.

[short light]

Jesus

Thanks for the help. It's gonna be... a long ride

53,695/250,000

https://tenor.com/view/patience-thinning-hawaii-part-ii-spongebob-gif-18004962809988399182

[steep silo]

If you really just want the penance done you can do it at malice since rewards don't scale with difficulty

It's gonna be a snoozefest but yeah, that would be fastest way

Can get 7000 or more completing everything

[short light]

Yeah, I just want the penance, tbh. I'm not that interested in expeditions. Unlocked every map and it's all the time the same so... Yeah, I want the cosmetics and that's it.

[strange thunder]

I'm at 150k or so from just auric games

but I enjoy it so idm

[short light]

Also, almost no one plays it, so it's harder to do it fast

[shadow skiff]

Could play eu or us malice.

[short light]

I'm on EU and it's getting kind of difficult to find players

[blazing charm]

Anyone else had a bug where the tornados in expeditions don't drop you?

[shadow skiff]

Not even quickplay?

[shadow skiff]

It's like BoNs, they can decide to keep you in forever if they want to. Longest BoN swallow I have seen is over 7 mins.

[blazing charm]

i tried to send a video, but dont have permissions yet

[shadow skiff]

Like, the player is already DEAD at that point but still not being spat out.

[short light]

Quickplay yes, but I'm queing for Zeta map to grind it

[shadow skiff]

That's your own choice though. Maybe people aren't grinding for it or doing Kappa because more casual and also gets a decent payout without the stress.

[safe lichen]

There a way for -- when bringing up in the Mourningstar the Operative menu screen (ESC button), the player always debuts carrying the gun weapon rather than the default melee?

Make sure you have the correct marks, Evis15 Psword 6

Oh ok I thought it was a separate attack

it technically is a separate attack

[hazy crest]

Can combat blade kill crushers in few hits with uncanny and carapace perk?

[clear plume]

Yeah

[hazy crest]

How

[clear plume]

Damage increases, crits, weakspot, time to kill varies per class

[hazy crest]

Which class do you use combat blade on?

[clear plume]

Uhhh

All of them honestly

I think scum was the last time I used it properly

[hazy crest]

Okay, what attack combo do you use to deal with crushers?

[clear plume]

Mk3 heavy spam or heavy special loop

Heavy attacks for weapons on average have way higher carapace damage

Then lights

[hazy crest]

Does the combat blade one shot mutants?

[clear plume]

Unsure, it could probably reach that breakpoint with minor damage increase plus crit weakspot

Maniac is an easy armor class to kill

What are you testing for? Or just a very new player?

[hazy crest]

Idk, is 140 hrs new?

Im just having a hard time with combat blade and power sword. Can't reliably one shot mutants or kill crusher in 4-6(iirc) hits vs duelling sword.

Oh well, thanks for taking the time to answer

[clear plume]

Imo, even 3k hours is new. This game has so many layers and variables I still learn things and I'm reaching 5k hours

Depends on how much they learn

[clear plume]

So since power sword was mentioned here I am going to assume vet. And I have a friend who knows vet very well (I do too but he will have the numbers and graphs). Just go to vet class

https://discord.com/channels/727074276724965407/1046912126746374274

[hazy crest]

Lol. I just learned you can vent plasma gun with special action key 100 hrs in. I thought you needed to reload

[clear plume]

Yup

I learn stuff still

This game is amazing

[hazy crest]

Well, I wanted to use combat blade on vet or zealot.

[lime idol]

Combat blade best single target dps is push attack spam

Power sword (use VI) single target is activate + push attack + light + light

Do keep in mind that, given veteran’s longer stamina regen delay, you’ll want to be a bit more conservative with both of these (don’t be greedy basically)

[hazy crest]

Thanks @lime idol, I'll try this out after going home.

[thick acorn]

my assignment level is H40 now and i havent had a loss yet so im not sure, but does this mean i can't derank anymore with losses until the havoc reset happens again?

the 3 strikes thing?

[strange thunder]

you can only derank manually or from not doing havoc for a week

so you should be fine now @thick acorn

[thick acorn]

time to play smyker

[polar citrus]

Im trying to access the twitch drops. I logged in the hours, I linked my accounts, why can’t I get the cosmetics?

[eager flame]

This round of twitch zealot drops was messed up server side by Fatshark but corrected several days later. Then they introduced a patch. If you have linked your Fatshark and Twitch account previously and watch/claimed the rewards on twitch already, I suggest logging into Twitch again to reconfirm those actions and try logging back into Darktide over the next 2-3 days. It is possible the patch bungled the drops again although I can't confirm only had another friend who hasn't been able to claim his yet. Took me about a week to get mine initially. Usually only 24-72 hours from claiming them in the past. Also, there will be no notice of receiving these items. Just look at the bottom of your zealot cosmetics (or maybe easier to check thunder hammer skins) to see if purple stuff is there. I think the skins are grey/non-color tier but they are at the bottom of the list at any rate with no notification of new cosmetics attached.

[polar citrus]

I'll have to check again then

give it a day or two, then check

[eager flame]

It may also be helpful to browse Fatshark forums for recent posts on unreceived Twitch cosmetics from within the past 4-5 days if you don't receive anything by the end of the weekend or Monday at the latest. Could be the Sunday reset around 7 pm EST will assist the process although that may just be wishful thinking.

[prisma heath]

I'm trying to figure out if the Veteran setup I'm using is the problem or if I have a genuine skill issue in this game. At the moment, I'm trying to use the recon lasgun with the power sword, exe stance, and krak grenades. I'm using the focus keystone with deadshot for the sake of ammo economy while having some melee investment at the cost forgoing field improvisation and withering fire.

The weapon builds are exactly as prescribed, I can handle things well most of the time in Auric, but there are moments where I get grabbed by one dog and it falls apart or I get jumped a crowd too big for me to deal with. I'd like to get on to doing havoc, and I don't really wanna blame the randoms if I'm the issue here.

[noble field]

What perks should i use on the spearhead boltgun? Unyielding + reload or flak + reload

[fleet cypress]

Flak unyielding

[paper zenith]

Marksman’s Focus or Focus Target? If you’re using MF, I’d say Recon Las doesn’t really need it. FT is pretty good but probably the least impactful for you, since you’re concerned about own performance. You said you’re having trouble with crowds, so I’d recommend trying Weapon Specialist. That will give you more utility. Don’t worry about skipping Withering Fire. Recon las is a very forgiving ranged option.

In terms of gameplay, try turning up SFX volume if it isn’t up already. This game’s audio is kinda janky but hearing cues earlier will help you avoid surprises. Widening your FOV in settings can also help with awareness.
When it comes to disablers (dogs, trappers), all I can say is be proactive. It may sound silly out loud, but you are a lot harder to catch if you’re the hunter.

[fleet cypress]

Deadshot on recon is a uh

Choice of all time

[prisma heath]

The stamina management wasn't too bad since I'm using the slower firing one, but I did use marksmans focus for tunnel vision to sustain it

[fleet cypress]

Its still -25% stamina per 10 shots

With default stam anyway

[prisma heath]

It's a case where I dug myself into a hole trying to use it

[fleet cypress]

Just use reciprocity

[prisma heath]

I was also using that, all for the sake of shock trooper so I wouldn't run out of ammo

[fleet cypress]

You don't need 100% crit rate for recon lasgun

[paper zenith]

Precision Strikes will do a lot more for you

[prisma heath]

Weakspot damage up?

[fleet cypress]

Yea

[prisma heath]

I'll take it then. I get a good amount of weakspot kills when mowing down shotgun hoards

[paper zenith]

Which mark are you running?

[prisma heath]

For the recon it's the Mark XIV, the slow firing one
For the power sword it's the mark VI

[lime idol]

what is the exact talent setup

[prisma heath]

Lemme get that for you

This is what I was using

[fleet cypress]

Drop deadshot for skirmisher and its pretty normal

[prisma heath]

Then I'll do that and just try to git gud until I can do havoc. Thank you all.

How do you crouch mid dodge without dodge sliding

Mine just did but i didnt see it happen before like that

went from chasm terminus to ascension riser but its still the same modifiers

Nope

I'm gonna go barrel myself off a map

[balmy moat]

if i had to guess, macro as well

for several minutes, i've not seen him to a normal dodge

so, he's got a macro for crouching then dodging to cancel the animation

at 10:29 he even does it with trappers firing at him, so he has to dodge twice because of it

[peak loom]

Can someone tell me the name of the mod that allows you to make your Player bar like that plz?

Hey I just got back into Darktide recently and leveled the arbites to 30. What gear level should I have for Aurics and expositions to start?

Also see Havoc missions like Aurics+? What scales on them

[void forge]

You should have maxed gear (500 for weapons) for aurics

I believe havocs 15s~ are about equal to aurics

As you progress in havocs your stats like hp and toughness take a hit and enemy stats like hp, damage, and hitmass increase

Kuli has a good steam guide in the pins somewhere that lists every modifier that havoc will put on you

Sorry not kuli, someone else

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3375980903&searchtext=havoc

The most crucial modifier to understand is emperor's fading light, which reduces your stats and removes toughness grace period

Pretty sure Chasm Log is one of the few missions not available in a campaign as of yet. Should appear in the random queue within 1-2 hours for what that is worth.

[lusty mango]

thnx, i guess i ll w8

[eager flame]

For smelter end event I typically go from left to right as you face the arena looking at the exit on the far side. Hit button, drop down to do 1st objective or go to back room if it is there. To get to the other side it is safest to use the back wall where exit door is (cross with an ult if possible (shout, chorus, bubble, etc) or just do a lot of run into slide into dodge (and repeat) so you are safe from incoming fire a lot of the time. Also, while you are perpendicular to enemy fire and have stamina you cannot be hit by ranged damage when running. The biggest problem with that event is ranged enemies if you don't have effective anti-ranged (or teamwork) so keep out of sight as much as possible and use ult to cover ground when feasible.

[sick arch]

Its only on the mission board

[sick arch]

Thanks

Also just pinging one of the objectives can help with team coherency

guys I have a quick question: is the corruption resistance in the Curio effect the corruption I got from Poxburster?

Like do I get less corruption when I bring the 15% corruption resis

when get hit by poxburster

[eager flame]

When it comes to pulling switches at end of that event you can do the two on the side you end up on. It is easier to keep going in a clockwise motion since you don't want to climb the ladder to that one switch if you can help it in case of ranged damage. Starting on the left will also place you near the respawn point in the event so if your team is running out alone to die you will be in a good position to rescue and they will now be on the left side and most likely to work that side of the room with you. Ping won't help with some randoms but placing them in proximity to the objectives you want to do after their untimely demise assists their AI in working with you better 😛

[eager flame]

Yes corruption is the purple on your health bar that shrinks it. You can stack corruption resist from curios and the talent tree. Grimoire specific corruption resist will only work on the type you get carrying those books though. With 15% corruption resist x 3 from curios you should receive a little more than half as much purple corruption after a poxburster. Your best defense against poxbursters is to push them and dodge away unless your teammates are shooting them in your face when you try to.

[limpid lagoon]

for the scripture/grimoine mission do you have to get all of them for it to give extra rewards?

[eager flame]

Yes.

[hollow roost]

Thanks for the info tho, that's sound kina peak ngl, I don't understand why it's not a meta?

my currently loadout is

16-17% Toughness
CAR
+12 stamina
5% Toughness

16-17% Toughness
CAR
+15 corruption resistance
5% Toughness

16-17% Toughness
CAR
+12 stamina
5% Toughness

[balmy moat]

depends on the build, and personal preference

[hollow roost]

So, for something like veteran and pysker, should I just drop all the stamina to get corruption resistance?

like just 3 corruption resistance; I just found that I just have so much trouble pushing the toxburster and gas so....

[balmy moat]

psyker doesnt need the stam regen

so you could

[hollow roost]

the corruption resistance work on gas too right?

[vocal nacelle]

because you can kinda ignore poxbuster if you stack enough toughness

1 direct hit atleast

[vernal plaza]

Golden toughness
Regular toughness do nothing vs bursters

Unlike sniper that does 10x toughness damage

[fleet cypress]

Doesn't really do anything

And you don't have the curio space for it either

Unless you really hate tox gas mod

[lime idol]

No, you need 1000+ effective toughness for that (or gold toughness)

[lime idol]

Yes

[lime idol]

Usually you’re better off with +% health instead

[shadow skiff]

Unless you go both for memes.

[restive jewel]

veteran feels squishy

[shadow skiff]

Iron will?

[restive jewel]

have iron will but still feels squishy

[smoky ember]

there just isnt much of a reason to take corruption resist,

in auric and below, the only enemy that deals any noticeable corruption damage is the poxburster, which is fairly easy to avoid

in high level havocs, the only time youd want to take corruption resist is for blight spreads missions, as that inflicts a ton of corruption and can easily cause you to get killed

corruption resist can be nice against poxbursters, but theres often a better choice, like gunner resist

[limpid lagoon]

I finished the campaign and unlocked damnation, what should I do now? unlock more diffs? do exploration?

[strange thunder]

yeah and master any weapons you have left and try to get some good curios

auric has auric maelstrom which is a good hurdle to tackle

then you have other classes to learn as well

you've only just started really, you'll get better the more you challenge yourself

If gunner resist is for noobs, corruption resist is for fetus still in the womb

[smoky ember]

yeah lmfao

[hollow roost]

But I'm be real, I hope it's work on all guy with gun, not just the elite gunner and orgyn guy

[strange thunder]

always slap on 2 gunner resists, never hurts

it does not

[smoky ember]

its elite gunner and ogryn, theyre the ones who will usually deal the most damage anyway

ogryn especially can easily burst u down if u arent careful

[strange thunder]

ogryn has a talent that reduces ranged damage after getting hit by it, that one affects regular shooters

[lime idol]

Reaper can 100-0 you in 0.5s without gunner resist

lol

[smoky ember]

but tanner said its for noobs,,,

[hollow roost]

Yea they don't get suppressed when you get close them to melee, they just keep shooting 😭

[smoky ember]

yeah

[hollow roost]

He say just it's a noob trap

[smoky ember]

they really should switch to melee instead of shooting u while u melee them

Closest I got was 54/60 but even when I asked the lobby for the help there was a hive scum just shredding through my hordes I got lucky

[strange thunder]

yeah you'll just get it eventually

otherwise there's #vox-lfg-lexicanum and picking your region and asking there

[balmy moat]

gunner resist is nice and all

until you get to stims in havoc and get shot 45 times by a single stalker

[pastel forge]

gunner resist is awful or none

[balmy moat]

to which gunner res doesnt apply

and im not even exaggerating.

an h40 yellow stimmed stalker shoots 45 times

and fatshark thought "nah they dont need to apply under the 'gunner' category"

same for shotgunners iirc?

so i just dont use gunner res personally

i get killed by shotgunners, stalkers, fire from poor positioning, things like those more often than i end up in gunner fire

and, when it IS gunners, i'd be dead even if i had the 2x effective hp against them, because it usually means i REALLY done fucked up

[shadow skiff]

To be fair, if I am shot in H40, I'm basically already dead and I know it.

Gunner resist is pointless.

[hollow roost]

But I think Orygn really need gunner resis I think

[smoky ember]

huh

[smoky ember]

i hate stims

stim and blight are stupid

rotten armor though

[hollow roost]

I swear that you don't need gunner resis if your character is the lowest height possible, I think. I watch a short about height character in darktide long time ago and I think huh, height really have an effect here, huh?"

[smoky ember]

i love rotten armor,,

[smoky ember]

thats fair

i just really dont see what else id take over gunner res

no other resistances are useful really

[hollow roost]

corruption babe ヾ(•ω•`)o🫵

[smoky ember]

only if im playing blight spreads

otherwise im probably just running gunner res, stam regen, and toughness

[hollow roost]

you dont have the CAR?

[balmy moat]

i've tuned my curios so much to personal preference at this point

[clear plume]

Does she know about the CAR?

the C-A-R

[smoky ember]

the d o r e

[hollow roost]

CAR 3 of them is like 12%

[balmy moat]

when in doubt, i run revive speed, toughness and hp, but hp is the first to get swapped out for other things depending on what build it is

[clear plume]

12% of a 30sec ult is what, 3.6 sec?

[smoky ember]

its such a small amount

even smaller when you account for CDR from talents

[balmy moat]

the game is also decided in seconds tho tbf

[smoky ember]

not me

but im just better so u know thats okay

[hollow roost]

It's like personal seer presence; it's 12%. 😭🫵

[smoky ember]

(i get what u mean but i feel like having chastise up one second sooner doesnt really save me)

[smoky ember]

12% isnt really much when i have a perpetual 100% from crits

or 75% from weakspots

[hushed mauve]

i feel offended xD

[smoky ember]

or 50% from being low health

[balmy moat]

ah see

[shadow skiff]

Someone is asking to be shot.

[balmy moat]

i dont use chastise/fotf

[smoky ember]

i hate it

i only ever use chastise

stealth is alright now, with the changes

had a macrouser in a game i played, FGS bleed bistol

they said nothing and left discord comms when the scoreboard came up with me outdamaging them on normal fgs melee psyker

for some reason

hadron's filters r weird

tbf if u arent top damaging with fgs ur doing something wrong

fgs is braindead

The guy have like 200 mods install

which is crazy

fgs warp slash bleed, lies about not using a macro, even when slashing at nothing at extremely regular timings the entire match?

[shadow skiff]

Probably then.

[hollow roost]

Oh, it's Qlang, dude having It's like having 200 mods installed; he know what boss is sqawning from a far away

[smoky ember]

ouugh i cannnoott play darktide without my moooddss

every major update kills those people

[clear plume]

then she modded all over

[smoky ember]

i cant play without mods because i like knowing my crit chance

thats really it

[balmy moat]

will say though, when mods have to fix issues fatshark should and could fix, it does suck when those mods suddenly dont work

[shadow skiff]

I don't mod at all. Unless you count .ini edits to try to get playable fps.

[smoky ember]

auto fire

or full auto

whatever it is

should be base game

i dont even use it but i can see why people need it

[hollow roost]

finger hurt

finger weak

[smoky ember]

ive got 34 mods

[balmy moat]

some version of spidey sense should also exist, probably not the extent spidey sense is, but, considering how much of this game is audio based...

[smoky ember]

yeah

[hollow roost]

that's why pp using it

[smoky ember]

audio based game, with an engine that cannot handle all the audio

hrmm

[balmy moat]

thats the best part hto

[shadow skiff]

Honestly, keep swinging and full auto as baseline is okay. Unga bunga is a little questionable cos nobody can constantly min time between heavies well. Skitarius is limp dick energy to max.

[balmy moat]

spidey sense doesnt show when sounds dont play

silent bursters for all

[smoky ember]

wait actually

i never used spidey sense

my only cheating mod is health bars

because im too lazy to test breakpoints on my own

[balmy moat]

it doesnt show where they are, it shows where the sound was played from. if no sound played, no indicator

[smoky ember]

lmfao awesome

[balmy moat]

dogs get me all the time

[smoky ember]

this guy isnt pushing enough

[shadow skiff]

Psykinetics is straight up cheats.

[smoky ember]

whuh

is that a mod?

[balmy moat]

its like a wallhack mod

[shadow skiff]

If one claims exe stance does the same, they can play vet and upkeep it fairly.

[smoky ember]

ohhhg

yah thats just cheating

[balmy moat]

yeah

[shadow skiff]

It's perma exestance that allows you to select what is highlighted in X colour.

[hollow roost]

wait you mean this one?

[balmy moat]

yeah

[hollow roost]

holy I use it

[balmy moat]

thats it

[smoky ember]

yeah that tracks

[clear plume]

[smoky ember]

[shadow skiff]

Guy's just cheating all the way, it seems.

[clear plume]

I saw him in havoc a month ago

[smoky ember]

yeah lmao

[clear plume]

I think

[hollow roost]

yeah I mean.... wall hack see everything in 50m

I does use it

I dont even think's a cheat

[smoky ember]

wonder if hes still a dorn grub

[balmy moat]

seeing things youre not meant to see unless you play a class with an ability or passive to do so? cheat

[hollow roost]

fair

[balmy moat]

wallhacks, outright a cheat, and cannot explain away as otherwise

[smoky ember]

healthbars my beloved ,,,

[balmy moat]

healthbars themselves i feel is a cheat, but its also a learning tool, so its mixed for me, but i also know debuff indicator is a similar bag, its at least more grey than wallhacks. i use debuff indicator, and leave healthbars for the psykh

[smoky ember]

debuff indicator i dont really think is a cheat

i dont remember if i use it

but its just providing a little extra information

i can absolutely see the argument for healthbars being a cheat, it lets u target prioritize much better than if you dont have it

[shadow skiff]

It's grey for a reason. Can be a cheat to know when things are already maxed to move... But also...

[balmy moat]

it depends on peoples definition, since its more info than the general playerbase has access to, and therefore is unfair advantage, but its also not severe enough to play the game for you / ruin the surprises the game has in store around the corner

im using it until i get the mucle memory for max flame stacks or max brittle etc, then plan to move on eventually from it

[smoky ember]

its also a matter of player experience, a good player will be able to instinctively tell when an enemy has reached max stacks

just because theyre used to it

[smoky ember]

yah its pretty minor in the end

[shadow skiff]

Why more grey than anything.

[smoky ember]

yeah

[balmy moat]

another one thats grey is emperors lantern, i use it because lights out maps cause such severe eye strain a single mission triggers a migraine, but its definitely a cheat, even if its to prevent such an issue

but then, its grey because accessibilty

lights out maps were the worst thing to QP into, now i can do them without needing to be done for the day after

[shadow skiff]

It's more of a cheat than allowing you to swap special for flashlight on any gun.

[keen delta]

I mean spidey and skitarius kinda solves accessibility issues for some players but setting up for intricate macros is outright cheating

[balmy moat]

gun flashlight honestly didnt help

inferno staff either

the flashing from guns also made it worse faster

[shadow skiff]

Then one can just play other missions.

[balmy moat]

not with QP

[shadow skiff]

Quickplay is always a choice though.

[smoky ember]

its not really that big of a deal

its not wallhacks

[balmy moat]

yeah but i also know playing a mission alone sucks ass

[smoky ember]

its not even healthbars

its just allowing you to see whats immediately around you better under a specific map condition

[shadow skiff]

It can still be an unfair advantage.

[smoky ember]

hardly

[keen delta]

I mean having functional flashlights on shoulders of characters would solve the issue but you know las guns should have their useless flash light specials

[balmy moat]

the flashlights characters have built in really do fuckin nothing

[river yarrow]

I hate the lights out missions! especially during the day when the sun glares through all my windows onto my monitor

[shadow skiff]

Between a console player and that? Actually pretty unfair.

[smoky ember]

welp

sucks to be a console player then

[balmy moat]

well by that metric all mods are cheats

[smoky ember]

yeah lmfao

[shadow skiff]

One can't see without specific guns and risking waking DH, the other has cheat flashlight.

[balmy moat]

cant have deafness accessibility, its unfair to console players

[keen delta]

Console players also can choose not to play those maps by your logic

[smoky ember]

daemonhosts make noise and fog and this and that

its seriously not that big of a deal lmfao

[shadow skiff]

Full vision, no risk of accidentally waking DH by light.

[balmy moat]

also she doesnt fully wake from flashlight

she just enters alert stage

[smoky ember]

she doesnt even fully wake if u run into her

only if ur too close for too long

anyway my point is, emperors lantern isnt a cheat

[shadow skiff]

But that still is a penalty the cheat mod doesn't incur.

[smoky ember]

its acessibility

[balmy moat]

not even, tbh

i have ABOLUTELY walked over a DH anyway

[smoky ember]

and arguing its a cheat because it provides a very minor advantage over someone without it is extremely semantic and ultimately pointless

[balmy moat]

it dont cure stupidity

[shadow skiff]

This is just skill issue no light can help.

[balmy moat]

exactly

[smoky ember]

congrats u have supported his argument

[keen delta]

I mean if I am blind 20-25% in my eyes I should just get fucked I guess

[balmy moat]

turn yourflashlight off, and be aware flashlight doesnt actually wake her

and then shes easier to see anyway

its more win than loss if shes half awake, unless you have a boss deletion on your team

[shadow skiff]

Just eats up that one charge where you can shoot close but not right at them.

[balmy moat]

then dont shoot near her?

as you said, skill issue

[smoky ember]

oh my god this argument is pointless

[keen delta]

I dont use lanterns nor weapon customization I specifically play zealot on those maps to delete them

[balmy moat]

karien isnt even a console player

[shadow skiff]

Ever seen specialists hide behind DHs?

Or just near.

[balmy moat]

yes. BB works, dog works, moving works

shooting near her at proper intervals works

[keen delta]

You dont shoot near dh thats a skill check

[balmy moat]

waiting for threat to go down works

[smoky ember]

whatever

off to do college work

[shadow skiff]

Still, having more vision via a mod is unfair. Might as well reshade the game into daylight in lights out like some do.

[keen delta]

You know What I’ll do that

[shadow skiff]

Cheaters using excuses to cover their advantages as usual.

[keen delta]

Dude I am literally blind what do you mean normal vision players have advantage over me

[balmy moat]

ah yes. chronic migraines. the excuse. yknow, the thing i'd gladly trade to be without.

[keen delta]

Xd

[shadow skiff]

People told me to just not play lights out when my inability to sort out similiar colours is said.

I do just that or deal with it if I choose to quickplay and land in lights out.

[balmy moat]

colourblindness and pain are not the same, karien

neither is deafness

[shadow skiff]

Lights out is a near black screen with UI for me depending on map.

[keen delta]

I mean as I said I dont use lanterns nor weapon customization so I dont really give two shits I crank up the highlights and brightness

But game could have had accessibility options for people with impairments but fs being lazy and all

[shadow skiff]

Thing is, you just play even then, right? That's how it is. Unless the mod alerts DH by you just looking at them, it's still an advantage in a way.

[balmy moat]

you cannot dump all accessibility mods under "just another excuse".

[smoky ember]

i think karien is ragebaiting

i do not think someone can be this stupid

[keen delta]

Nah she is being real and watch your language

[smoky ember]

unfortunately i fell for the bait

[smoky ember]

huh

[shadow skiff]

But for modifiers like those, you could just not play them instead of using basically unfair to people not running the same mods that literally removes the negative part of the modifier.

[smoky ember]

it doesnt even remove the negative part of the modifier it just negates it in a small area around you

still cant see 10 feet past u,,,

this has 2 be bait

Emperor’s lantern doesnt add flas lights I guess but idk because I dont use them

true

[wheat night]

Pay to win != cheating

[smoky ember]

ok brb exam time

[shadow skiff]

Well, it's still a tiny advantage to those who don't memorise every square inch of the map. You know, potholes and such. Also, the light granted by that servoskull mod is just free flashlight that also doesn't trigger DH and can be made wide as well. It's just coded to try to avoid shining but how would one consider it not an advantage?

[balmy moat]

how dare people with wheelchairs have a place to sit when my legs are tired.

[balmy moat]

its not a servoskull anyway

its a light circle, around me

[keen delta]

People on wheel chairs should not use busses because its a choice.

Busses should not have wheelchair designated areas cuz it give unfair advantage against to those who has to fight for a place on the buss @balmy moat

When I turn these basic mods on my game becomes unstable and prone to crashing in the middle of a match. They are all updated so I figure it must be the load order. I have no idea what it should be do yall know

[queen tinsel]

Sense the patch I just get nonstop errors. Mainly 2014 and 2019. Mainly around hoard spawns. Not sure if anyone has any fixes.

I did recently reset up my mods but they worked prior to patch fine only after the patch did the disconnects start plus I disabled them already to try and play without them but nothing

(tried experimental branch, uninstall/reinstall, deleting shader cache)

[queen tinsel]

is scoreboard on your mod load order?

[thin crest]

yeah its the third

[queen tinsel]

Im blind

[queen tinsel]

well looking at your mod dates you might need to update them

[astral flint]

Hi, having an issue with text chat ingame: randomly in the middle of missions I can't type or read teamchat. I've tried everything listed in the fatshark forum (VPN, appdata, verify game files...) and interacting with stuff doesn't work either.

Anyone know something that can help?

[thin crest]

they dont have newer updates

[queen tinsel]

scoreboard does unofficially and animation events I think does as well as hivescum breaks those two if I'm not mistaken something with stimpack makes the game crash

[thin crest]

wdym unofficially

the upadtes arent on nexus?

[queen tinsel]

Not on Nexus

[thin crest]

where then

[queen tinsel]

You can find them mentioned in some of the comments (posts) when looking through scoreboards mods but also in the darktide modders discord

#📌communities message

^Link to that discord plus they may be able to better help you with mod issues

[thin crest]

ok ty

[queen tinsel]

Deleting appdate folder and going through and updating all of my drivers seemed to fix it. Nevermind.....

[charred bloom]

Any recommendations on relic blade perks?

And blessings

[astral flint]

Perks: flak and carapace
Blessings: Cranial grounding so you can keep your blade activated for way longer, and for the second you can get another heat management blessing, but I like to take rampage to ge more strength; it gives you enough cleave to handle waves even without activation and gives you even stagger to make heavies stumble.

[eager flame]

If you just want to sweep over and over without thinking too much Overload and Rampage is decent as well. If you are playing high Havoc Wrath and Rampage can help ensure cleave even when on cooldown.

[eager flame]

I started playing without scoreboard because I found it too likely to have problems after to an update which I haven't wanted to wait for and play without my other mods so I just run True Level and Hub Hotkeys for now. If you are having problems without mods it may be you are running an unstable GPU update as well? I heard newest Nvidia has not been playing well with Darktide but i'm still running 591.86 from Jan '26. I forget which AMD build was last noted as stable for Darktide but I think it was 9.25 or 11.25?

[queen tinsel]

Its not the drivers as far as I could tell it worked fine perfectly fine with and without mods then they patched the game then with and without mods I kept getting disconnected

[lime idol]

there's an updated version of scoreboard that includes newest enemies
also the issue for scoreboard is actually animation events (which u don't need if u don't track stagger in scoreboard)

[rotund ermine]

gonna give feedback soon and need to double check if someone made topics already on the forums. I dont want to make any overlaps

1.) Ability to Track Players Dropped Tech-Remnant after death or disconnection via the Auspex
2.) Option to have some kind of Small Underground bunkers we can explore with higher risk but more rewards
3.) Collectables in future maps where we can display it on the mourning star
4.) Very Expensive Valkryie support grenade (200) that drops rng supplies from ammo to maybe health

[eager flame]

Expeditions is an early access mode released in a notoriously early access game. So much needs to be reworked for it to function as anything other than what it is currently trying to be (a clone of open-zone type games). My hope is that they move in the direction of a Chaos Wastes type experience with the ability to back out after each map rather than commit to a multiple hour session by adding new zones that can be traversed from multiple gates so each of the three sections is more unique. Give Tech Remnants more utility than unlocking new map modifiers. Maybe have zone exploration culminate in an assault on some type of bad guy stronghold either as a 4th section or new area to unlock with less focus on sitting around babysitting objectives every few minutes.

[gritty harness]

we agree !

[mental elbow]

darktide is not in early access

players try to enjoy something in 2026, level: impossible

[rotund ermine]

I agree there needs alot of rework

[tame coral]

Modifying weapon specs/parts with tech remnants would be a pretty cool and lore-friendly addition

Step 1: In the Steam Library, right-click Darktide, select Properties > Installed Files, and click Verify integrity of game files.

[eager flame]

There is a known bug that can generate this issue on Alt+Tab in the event you were doing that around the time of the crash. Fatshark is aware as of last year. Here is another potential group of sources which may or may not relate to your issue: https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/crashing-nvidia-gpu-hang/116610/2

[eager flame]

Beyond that it may be a matter of disabling Ray Tracing, FSR, framegen or rolling back driver for Nvidia/AMD.

[plain helm]

I am at 10%. Is there a way to get Salvage faster? My go to strategy is just to solo and hunt them out... bah!

[eager flame]

I am of the opinion that Expeditions economy will adjust over the next year or two and given that the penance for unlocking 18 zones seems unachieveable at this time it seems fruitless to need the rest cleared right now. Could keep an eye out for a salvage highlight mod over time. For now you at least can skip points of interest and scrounge for nooks and crannies in between since that seems to be where salvage is primarily coded to be.

[plain helm]

I'll totally keep an eye out for Salvage highlight mods. But yeaw, that's my go to strategy. Just literally look everywhere as much as i can lol.

[gritty harness]

\

so how do i do this??

[limpid lagoon]

Train Mission on heresy

[limpid lagoon]

let some mobs damage you and then go super bonkers

You need to have less than a Wound's health, meaning half hp if you have only 1

[gritty harness]

got it

[charred bloom]

Is brunts armoury weighted towards certain weapons? I always see autoguns and never bolt pistols for examples

[vocal nacelle]

Its RNG Use the 2nd menu, buy the guns you want

[vernal plaza]

Brauto 3
Vigilant 3
Infantry 3
Vs
Boltpistol 2

[eager flame]

Twins is also viable. You may run into the issue of finishing too quickly for the percentage of time you spent in low HP to be 75%. Speed running a normal map with a Captain at the end will also be doable in 15-18 minutes. Avoid +wound trinkets/talents. You can opt for +HP instead to give you a larger pool of one wound worth of health to work with or go stamina for running efficiently more often. You don't need to get downed to corrupt your HP but it can help to get downed ASAP near start of mission if you have someone to pick you up and just run the mission from there. Also, note the Private game which will demand at least one person is with you to go to the mission terminal and press E (or check the input in the lower right) to pull up options and turn on Private Game or the achievement will not pop.

[bitter violet]

If you want the lights out penance in a way that causes less eye strain, the night time missions in expeditions gives credit for it.

I’m spamming point eta as it lets me cover multiple penances each run.

[keen hornet]

Thanks

[pulsar pilot]

Nice

[limpid lagoon]

I just unlocked Havoc, what happens if I help with a Havoc of more rank than mine? do I skip ranks?

[vocal nacelle]

depends on how big the havoc difference, max rank you can jump is 5

[limpid lagoon]

Thanks

[bleak tundra]

hey guys what's the fastest method to farm scraps to sell for the penance? zeta?

[vocal nacelle]

yes speedrun on malice

[glossy gale]

My skilltree keeps reseting as I go into missions, does anyone know how to fix this

[latent mica]

its a bug in the loadout system

make sure you re-choose your loadout slot, or get the Loadout Selection Fix mod that was released just today

[glossy gale]

Does the expedition mode set you to a certain ability when you start it

[lapis fog]

yeah zeta is the best map, I’ll drop a video on it soon, but long story short: you can farm around 58,725 salvage in 11 hours 24 minutes. of course the number isn’t fixed and can vary a bit ± and that’s all in duo + private 👍

don’t wanna flex, but I finally got that painful penance done XD

oh and don’t forget the mod Radar, it’s basically a must have.

[mint cave]

does any one know what would cause darktide to keep crashing the whole pc, not jsut the game

nvidia 5070, 9800x3d, ddr5 32 gigs 60mhz, m.2 ssd, 850w power supply, b840m mobo

should be more than beast enough to handle this game no toruble

but it keeps crashing the whole system

anyone have any idea what could be the problem here?

[balmy moat]

ah so you'd just gotten it done when i saw you in the lobby then

[vagrant oak]

This penance is a pain with randoms. When I search for zeta, I usually get dropped in a match where nothing is done, and theres like 3 minutes remaining

[ornate stag]

do higher difficulty deadside runs reward more tech relics?

[rich jackal]

how the hell do you unlock Explorator Prime (3)

[steep silo]

nope

[keen flume]

For some reason no, so people just been grinding on malice the most

[solid bramble]

I feel like my worst enemy is barrels and shit. Whether other people are hitting them and im near or im hitting them and fucking up my team (using bfgs w warp slice so high cleave/wide swing). And assail hits them too. Genuinely half my damage on successful runs comes from this shit what do i do. Besides just stop hitting them or being near them

[fleet cypress]

detonate them on sight

[solid bramble]

Its havoc so i can barely even notice theres a barrel until its exploding

[eager flame]

Wait until the mode is more feature complete. Expect updates over the next couple years.

[strange thunder]

you usually want to run some extra health in havoc because of the penalties scaling differently

where toughness gets a flat nerf and health gets a percentage one

and there's a lot of things that can kill you outright like bursters if you're not running extra health

so that makes barrels less punishing as well

[solid bramble]

Im at 15% extra health from perks on all curios is that enough?

Or switch to 2 tough 1 health, psyker bubble knight

[strange thunder]

I run 2 health 1 toughness on psyker in havoc, but I only run h40 so

[solid bramble]

Is it staff psyker or melee?

[strange thunder]

staff, but I'd run the same if I was doing one of the melee builds

[solid bramble]

Ill prob switch to one health and see because often whenever i lose like 25% of my toughness im losing all of it because something went wrong

Bet thank you

[lapis fog]

yeah

[hollow dock]

any way to view all existing weapon cosmetics? rather than the ones currently available

[vocal nacelle]

[bitter violet]

Man I want to mod the game but I’ve always been paranoid about installing third party stuff in my pc.

[limpid lagoon]

In a a melee weapong what's the dump stat between "cleave targets" and "cleave damage"?

[plush furnace]

mobility or defence 99.9% of the time

[limpid lagoon]

and between "cleave targets" and "cleave damage"?

[balmy moat]

cleave targets i believe, it might depend on the weapon

[mint cave]

anyone have any idea what could be causing this repeatedly

[tame anchor]

ive heard reload speed dont really matter for boltgun and is a viable dumpstat

[eager flame]

I go with cleave damage as dump stat so you can keep the ability to stagger more enemies if nothing else. Cleave damage is pretty much garbage anyways. First target takes at least 100% more damage than each cleave target. Plus the 20% you dump does not equal 20% less damage. Same with all the other stats it isn't a true 20% on the functional end.

[latent drift]

hi. is any fix how hear poxbusters? i hear only when they explode

[tame anchor]

get a danger zone mod so you can see AOE radius

[eager flame]

Set Dynamic Range to low to give yourself a better chance of hearing low sounds like poxbursters incoming. Nothing is perfect and some spawn out of thin air seemingly.

[tame anchor]

there are a lot of poxburster batman doors

[eager flame]

Except boltgun also has mobility and I don't see anyone running around with those by choice.

[tame anchor]

on some zealot builds when yo uhave two incredibly heavy ass weapons, im not sure which is worse to sprint with

[latent drift]

thx

[strange thunder]

bolter is collateral dump stat anyway

[silent furnace]

Does anyone know what settings in Dark tide might make your pc run poorly, my pc can run pretty much anything but darktide for some reason makes my computer run really poorly?

[strange thunder]

raytracing

[eager flame]

Check to make sure Raytracing is disabled as it is poorly implemented and was turned on by default after an update a while back. If AMD GPU, disable FSR and framegen. You may need to rollback your GPU drivers. I believe the newest Nvidia driver causes issues after the last patch for Darktide. I run Jan '26 without issue. On AMD I forget what was last stable but I'm pretty sure 9.25 and/or 11.25 were.

[silent furnace]

Yeah a long time ago GeForce set the ray tracing to on when I started the game and it blew up my power supply

But I’ll try that

Recently the game is making my pc run stupidly hot only after like an hour

And it wasn’t before

[eager flame]

Another thing I believe helps me is running 1080p with a 60 fps cap. You might be able to get away with more but I prefer stable to max allowable.

[silent furnace]

60 fps cap makes the game run better ?

[eager flame]

Compared to trying to force 400 fps, sure.

It depends on your build, monitor refresh rate, etc. But taxing the CPU/GPU for max resolution/FPS often leads to unstable presentation.

[limpid lagoon]

ok thanks!

[undone maple]

Sooooooo idk if this is the right place to ask this, but-

I want guidance in making a build as I play this game

Just got it recently, only played for about two hours

[balmy moat]

depends on the class but i can definitely help with some of it, a lot if psyker

the class chats also can offer guidance, some have guides in the pins as well

[undone maple]

We’ll see that’s the thing, I don’t know if I’ve picked the right class for what I want

Above all else, I wanna be FAST, speed is like my favorite thing in any game. I also heavily prefer melee over range

[balmy moat]

[undone maple]

Currently I’m playing a Zealot with a Combat Blade, did I make the right picks?

[balmy moat]

zealot can make knife work, psyker is also very speedy, can be faster than zealot

[undone maple]

FASTER??

How fast are we talking?

[clear plume]

Zealot has more sustain speed but psyker has faster highs

[balmy moat]

+60% movespeed total

[clear plume]

Also, there is no wrong choices

[balmy moat]

true though

[undone maple]

So general fast vs a burst ability?

[clear plume]

Experiment and see what you find fun

[undone maple]

How long does this boosted speed ability last, and what’s the cooldown?

[clear plume]

Varies

You are fast in combat

[balmy moat]

no cooldown, its buff stacking so its as long as you can maintain it

[clear plume]

But slow outside

On psyker

[undone maple]

Well… seeing as how I like to run AT the enemy, being in combat doesn’t sound like it should be an issue

Speaking of

What are some of the best melee weapons for going fast, and some of the best ranged weapons to shoot while moving?

Low recoil/hipfire type stuff

Or a good spray and pray works too

[balmy moat]

theres a few options, knife is the best for mobility, ranged, anything works, something like voidblast or electrokinetic with a surge style build also works

[clear plume]

Knife/dueling sword/tactical axe melee. Recon/las pistol/infantry auto gun/shredder auto ranged

[balmy moat]

i sent you a DM, btw

[undone maple]

Gotcha

Any large important differences between those melee weapons?

[clear plume]

Nothing that matters

Again

Experiment see what you enjoy

The game doesn't start until you are max level and have max gear

[balmy moat]

and dont judge weapons entirely on their unupgraded status

[undone maple]

Gotcha, gotcha

[balmy moat]

gauge weapon attack patterns and styles, but overall their damage, movement, etc will change drastically

[undone maple]

I’ll play around with these then, and I’ll switch to the psyker to see if I like it

Also, what is finesse damage?

[clear plume]

Crit damage and weakspot damage

Here are some resources

[undone maple]

Thanks!

So how do I get this Psyker speed build? I saw Warp Speed, but that’s the only thing I can find?

[clear plume]

3 talents

Mettle, warp speed, destiny

I think those 3 are 65% move speed bonus

[manic dust]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask or not - but would love help with playing an entire Malice level as Veteran without ever receiving melee damage...Ive tried in public games with no comms and end up getting hit somewhere in the last half
(also if you know any good strats for this I'd hear them too)

[clear plume]

https://discord.com/channels/727074276724965407/1045597890472579075 ask in your region

Or wait till later today when I can get on

[manic dust]

Thanks!

[steep silo]

You can try Expeditions

Load in and go straight for extraction

[manic dust]

Yeah that worked like a charm hahah thanks

[strange thunder]

wow that's a funny new strat

[solid bramble]

What fov is best for havoc? Mainly melee, shooting maybe 5% of time

[stoic locust]

Whatever you're comfortable with?

[zealous dome]

The lowest possible

[outer ridge]

can some one help me on overwatch

[errant oracle]

Going for the Bullseye penance (destroy all the blue bottles at the shooting gallery on warren 6-19) and i went to the 'shooting gallery' that they showed in the reddit post i read but none of the bottles spawned when i went there.

coming to think of it though ive literally never seen them spawn though. is there somthing i'm missing ???????

[sinful summit]

did you go there on warren specifically? dark communion doesnt count

[errant oracle]

i was on warren yeah

[balmy moat]

its in the alley, behind a short impassable wall

[bitter violet]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rSghx17uRHE

This is the guide I used.

I used a las pistol.

[errant oracle]

yeah okay so i'm not crazy those bottles just outright didn't spawn two games in a row for me. same spot, same map, just no bottles of any colour :/

[keen flume]

You sure it was on the exact mission that was required?

[errant oracle]

yeah twice ://

does it need to be on a specific difficulty ?????

[balmy moat]

no, it should always be on warren

the only case its not is if someone throws a grenade or something to destroy them first

[small atlas]

I came here looking for something else entirely and i found this, tysm this has been a fucking headache for SO LONG

[bitter violet]

Happy to help. :D

[small atlas]

By which i mean - are there any guides on movement tech ? I kinda know the slides+certain heavies, but the rest i'm just absolutely clueless

[viscid badger]

Can anyone explain to me how the tooltips work. Specifically, why the gun on the left shows as having significantly more damage despire the damage damage% and a lower ilvl?
E: Solved thanks to Ainz below

[clear plume]

DM me the pics

You are Grey name so no imbeds

[scarlet hazel]

Can't matchmake because "teammate is not available" or whatever, when I'm completely alone. Is there a way to fix this without restarting the game?

DUDE I JUST RESTARTED AND IT'S STILL THERE

[eager flame]

Trying going to the mission board. Press E to bring up options (or read lower right of screen for input options). From there disable Private Game (set to Off).

[vivid gate]

Are you trying to do Havoks?

[scarlet hazel]

It's off it's never been turned on

[scarlet hazel]

Uprising quick play

[tawny mist]

Hi, my game sometimes revert to native 2k resolution and my game lags a lot, any way to make it stop, wanna just fullhd res so it is lighter for my hardware

[vocal nacelle]

you can try changing the user config to read only file

[agile veldt]

Today I decided to install some mods for the first time. But the game continue to crash. There is a way to understand what I did wrong?

[balmy moat]

what mods? also, did you grab both darktide mod framework, and darktide mod loader?

[agile veldt]

NUmeric Ui and Scoreboard+animation events; also yes I picked both mod framework and loader. Yes, they seems to be detected by the game. Numeric Ui work in the game, scoreboard doesn't seems to work well

[balmy moat]

you need ovenproof community patch for scoreboard

[agile veldt]

please explain more

[balmy moat]

original scoreboard isnt upkept, but is still core to ovenproof, but ovenproof is also not upkept, so instead, we use the ovenproof community patch, which IS upkept very proficiently

dont need original ovenproof

[agile veldt]

so i need to install ovenproof and ovenproof comunity patch. Right?

[steep silo]

Additionally, scoreboard itself causes crashes since last update. There's a fix in the modding discord (or you could just remove animation events iirc since it's only used to count staggers)

#📌communities message

Scoreboard fix should be pinned in #mod-bugs

[strange thunder]

also animation events causes crashes

so get rid of it, it only logs amount of staggers in a game which is fairly inconsequential

[soft violet]

Thank you for this tip!

[lime idol]

u don't actually

backup's scoreboard patch is perfectly fine

[sick arch]

How come sometimes (often) i will wipe in damnation but in auric i rarely go down?

[vocal nacelle]

teammate quality

[topaz cairn]

do heretical idols not spawn unless you are playing a mission from the mission board? I keep running special assignment missions but cannot find them

[strange thunder]

good question, it feels weird that they'd be gone tho?

[bitter violet]

Pretty sure they can spawn regardless. But maybe they’re spawning in different places?

[balmy moat]

they spawn in every map every time. they do not spawn in rolling steel, nor expeditions. otherwise, they will ALWAYS spawn 4 idols

plasteel and diamantine drops dont spawn in havoc, for example. idols still do

[bitter violet]

Does clearing auric expeditions count towards the auric mission penances like not dying 10 times in a row and such?

[balmy moat]

yes

through severe oversight by fatshark, yes

[bitter violet]

Well then… time to speed run that penance before it gets fixed.

[balmy moat]

you'll get it done in less than half an hour

[bitter violet]

Sick.

[bitter violet]

Wait that could also mean speed running the 100 auric mission penance.

:D

[void forge]

Wait so could you also do just a flesh wound on expedition as well?

[shadow skiff]

And on overwatch.

Just sneak to extract or get lucky it spawns near.

[void forge]

Wow, that really is an oversight

[shadow skiff]

Just Fatshark.

[void forge]

How good is the XP? Is it going to be faster to speed run a few expeditions or still faster to bell skip and die?

[balmy moat]

shitty as hell xp

like 800 ot less

bell skip still much faster
