"Instead of poor people, the Omnissiah has seen fit to increase this weapon's damage against the worshippers of chaos on Atoma. You will not notice a change in who your weapon is effective against."
Mod
If there’s one thing that’s stood the test of time it’s 40k it’s most certainly the 1911
oh i just noticed that mod got updated
a mag fed stub pistol would be fire
anybody got a link 2 the 3rd person mod ive been seeing
1 of those mauser pistol things
It's literally a Mauser C96
Search “perspectives”
im naked in my backyard hunting bears w/ my chunk of granite i cant look it up RN
That’s very specific and I’m here for it
I had a question about a niche perk interaction that i'm unsure if it counts
with Voice of Command, you can revive teammates
wrong, technically ur INSPIRING them 🤓
Or infiltrate rather
does the 33% damage reduction only apply to a manual revive, or does the INSPIRATION also give damage reduction
Anyone got a way to mitigate hitting f and getting boomer slimed from left form dead
Because I can't see in the soup
it applies 2 VOC revives as well, yes
oh, nice
I want to know what they were smoking when they cut VoC cd by half
What is assist speed?
Oh yeah. I tried to use the bayonet with Trench Fighter.
Getting people out of nets?
the time it takes to revive your ally
It didn't change the bayonet's speed.
how fast you pick someone up from nets and such I'd imagine
I would assume that is revive speed
yeah, nets and ledges are assist speed iirc
does volley fire effect ranged weapon melee specials?
Doubt it?
oh cause its 20 for both assist and revive so yknow. potato pohtahto
Lemme try
wdym by ranged weapon melee specials
It really should just say like
"20% Speed for assisting incapacitated allies" or something
ranged weapon bashes
It does
bayonet attack on hellbore for example
Bayonets or bashes
i tried that, didnt work. only for ranged fire
it definitely should not, keep the keywords and keep using them, I love keywords
huge
Bayonets for Helbore Lasguns, bashes for both Headhunter and Braced Autoguns.
Wait, I misread.
Stubby bashes too
Is it true that Exhilarating Takedown is bugged?
yes
yea it sucks if you're not a deadshot fan
everyone should try hard to get iron will or confirm kill
Its nice and easy to get on left tree
Iron will with 3 voice of command vet to have 100% uptime 🙏
Related to the Helbore Lasguns, I found out that you can sprint while holding the bayonet attack (at least the stabby one).
Sometimes I do want to lean super heavily into my marksman Vet, VOC spam is nice, but its satisfying being able to down 90+ enemy shooter and 30+ ranged specials in a hi intensity Heresy
anyway i ask because i know point blank barrage lets you apply burn stacks with ranged weapon melee attacks
And then charge at a heretic
Yeah mk2 lets you charge, others are overhead yops
Wait, others? I thought only the "heavy" one does that.
Only for an Ogryn to stand in front of you for 5 seconds
Mk1 is a bayonet charge as well? Thought it was only mk2
Anyway, in terms of melee, which Helbore Lasguns is the best?
.. Yes that happens often lol
Shooter stance biggest weakness is allies
im leveling a vet rn and brought a 30% damage hellbore 3 to t3 and it wasn't killing shit with the gun but the bayonet went hard
was one shotting shotgunners and ragers with it
Like, which Helbore Lasgun is the best at bayonet combat?
What's the current must have or die toughness talent? I keep forgetting and dying
The strike down one is fun but the animation feels kinda icky
Iron will and Confirmed Kill
Catch a Break if you want to have your toughness up at all times
Iron Will is nice but isnt it overkill
I feel like most of the time it end up wasted
Iron will is down the middle tree towards the bottom yeah?
Yeah
Damn that fucker is hard to splash
What I wouldn't give for a few node lines around there
It’s a great insurance especially if you take VoC as ur ability
I'm gonna try making a build where my only means of meleeing is the bayonet.
I use this, can modify on ur preferences
ironwill is a 25% increase of your effective thoughness
And that is not considering the effect of yellow thoughness or regen
This build is pretty competent
I don't take voc very often
250 effective toughness with a health, toughness, and wound curio
Currently I'm trying to make smoke bomb volly fire not crumple
In any case, vet thoughness DR is very effective on anything that is not flamer and bomber
I think I can squeak iron will tho
If a flamer does anything you kill it then shout

Not taking the crack grenade is heresy
Just having 200 Toughness and having the 50% reduction on 75%+ toughness lets me tank a poxburster without losing health
Shredder and krak are equal
Vet DR is nuts

Real talk volly fire is classic that's what it will always be named in my head
Frag is significantly more versatile
^
Executioners stance goes hard tho
This
Even my infiltrate runs frag
5 bleed stack at range is so goof
I find krak useful if you don’t have means to handle armoured elites

Vet DR being all tied to its thoughness means that any specialist catching you in flame is an instant down
Frag is very versatile, krak is good to take down big targets or do good single damage but otherwise
If I could squeeze the points I’d go for close order drill + demo team for toughness DR & 5% nade regain
I like to pretend I'm fallout pickpocketing heretics with ol fraggy
If you get cornered throw your frags at your feet, 15 bleed stacks on a hoard is not survivable
Frag just answers a lot of chaff and mixed hordes
Frag gives u the answer to rager spam
It's the ogryn pick up of grenades
when you run auric missions, you'll understand why krak is very important or why nade builds are always good
Frags is more versatile than krak in general
Real. Ragers? Maulers? Frag.
It helps so much
I miss Darcy, made this chat not borin
Krak makes a better noise though
Yeahh
Usually I just quick switch to revolver to stagger them for easy kill
That’s the real winner on krak
whats like a good dmg build for auric rn?
Plasma gun isn't a grenade
The audio fun
Er I mean
There is a ton of good dmg build for auric
Isn't supposed to be
I love krak because it's just a plasma grenade
I should run krak more
Revolver can deal with 1-3 ragers fine
5 ragers plus shooters is tough
krak stuns bosses too
And a poxwalker hoard
If rager give you trouble get a PS
I can't wait for late stage darktide modding when we have model and effect replacers
Frag also staggers bosses and interrupts their current attack
Two frags the poxwalkers are dead
Is Exhilarating Takedown bugged? Has anyone tested?
Yes, don’t use
Ranged wise, rager get also destroyed by brauto
Which monstrosity would make the best Shrek? Plague boy right?
Yeah but lasguns are better
I prefer my weapon to have impact
Chainsword with bloodletter is good for the two carapace armored enemies in the game
What are you doing in my swammmp! As the boss music cuts in
Outright killing them is better than stagger
Depends on your sense of humor
Implying lasgun actually kills better
Pox Burster likes this
question, is the penance where you have to replenish 5000 ammo to allies with scavenger bugged atm?
I like live leaking someone with the crusher
Yes
nice
I will continue to dhoot the burster to troll the zealot
Its funny to me
And then cringe behind your mask knowing the zealot will live the hit and you might not have
I can remember the last time i was impressed by lasgun plays in auric, and it was in p12
Jesus you shot his other eye out
Why stagger the reaper when two puts them down?
Reaper get 2 shot by almost half our guns
At risk for gun psyker I see
Drugs are bad bismarck
A lot of guns can crank out 3800~4000 dps against reaper rn lol
They’re the weakest elite enemy against veterans
Showcasting big damage on reaper is like saying that IAG is a good antiboss weapon cuz you can quickly kill spawn with headshot
this feels like the most backhanded thing i've ever gotten from the emperor
If i use my plasma gun for elite, specials etc, what do i put on my power sword? +25% dmg unarmored and what else?
Iags are busted for console
we gamble those
oh, i absolutely am sending this thing to gold cause if i can save it
Lucius two tapping crusher however
its my new shovel
you can fix her i believe
well did you gamble correct?
So IAGs are not good at all vs bosses?
What platform do you play
oh, i am very poor on plasteel cause of upgrading my revolver, i'll have to grind some more
Why does that matter
charges plasma gun up with religious intent
can i salvage this
Cause Xbox IAGs have a buff
Theres nothing wrong with playing console theyre 40k fans that are insulting you

It is serviciable. Not great but you cannot expect to reliably hit headshot on all boss
so
Yea that’s fair, I just didn’t find them particularly bad if I get to shoot weakpoints
should i replace vicious slice with shred or rampage and change the melee weak spot damage
or ignore the perks and just change the two blessings
its not looking good chief
Bullet magnetism
i feel like this is heresy

I really want the 374 😔
Nah consoles got more than aquilas
god thats fucking cursed
People just dont know it yet
like, you're gonna get bolt pistoled in the back of the head if commissar saw it
💀💀
That’s funny but on pc you can just hit ur shots so I don’t rly have issues with that
It’s a pve game
It’s usable till a better one
Funny. It took me level 30ing pysker to finally know that each class had its roles. Finally played as Vet again, this time I hard focused on every shooter that my psykers couldn't managed while they horde cleared
i suffer that little bit more as a pc controller player 😔
If the game aimbots to headshots all the time for me its good
I think if I keep the squad this alive I'll keep leaning into this
What are good perks for plasma gun? They still flak/maniac?
Change out vicious and replace weakspot with maniac or flak
it is still usable yeah just throw rampage savage sweep on it
I think you can get carpace in there
it will be ok till you get one you can actually roll perks on
I used to have the very bad habit of trying to focus down smaller horde rushes with my guns when I should be keeping my other teammates unmolested by gunfire hmm.
And this is not like that crazy cuz you’re not getting the bullets to hit near full headshots
Carapace instead of flak?
Plasma gun already does enough to 1 hit flak enemies
So carapace lets you effectively kill crushers
I think maulers may he an exception
Smol hobo vs gigachad.
But the heads of maulers are carapace armor so
5'11 vs 6'0
Idk why people made a big deal about ugly female characters in this game, I think majority of them can look great in their own way :)… just gotta learn how to do Barbie is all
whats the shotgun meta currently
welp
Rn for my vet sniper I like slug
Slug seems to be the go two as it got good ammo
And is well rounded Even for veteren
yeah i mean what blessings i love the agri shotty
I don’t know off the top of my head
sure
Wanna do close range only go for the usual double layered death version for more damage, maniacs and I’d say do flak
good luck barbieng half of those
If your a ranger then do FULLBORE

Oh yeah really good man just change Crit chance to flak
I'd def go full bore cause it procs when you hit anything with slug
yerash full bore is a given
Yeah I’m just not a shotty expert mroe so Helbore kinda guy
but swap with what hit and run?
It depends
If you wanna just rush
And not care about cover
It’s the best
Gotcha then yeah go FULL bore and remove chance with flak dmsage
Boom god roll

if you get lucky twice it'll be good
Ye I'd prolly keep deathspitter and exchange hit/run for full bore and go maniac/flak
Or maniac/unyielding to do dummy boss damage
Cause I think you can still 1-tap reapers without it
Could be wrong tho
My problem is money
play damnation
Being spending too much on mk1 helbores
i have 450k
Can’t get a 380
ah that sucks
Same rn
It's plasteel for me 😭 I'm sitting on 2.6 mil ordo but spend plasteel constantly lol
What the heck is power cycler
i just use anytrhing over 350 tbh
Perk for power swords
Gives you 1-2 extra charges on your energy swings
which is goofy strong
I've never even seen it and I keep hearing how cracked it is- oh
like hyyuk
Best is to do it in stages
Got alreayd 350 boost it up to then 360 then 370 that’s what I am doing g
Yeah that explains why my sword feels doodoo compared to when I see others use it
My first 380 was a god roll club on my Ogryn
So gotta get block and Stam up, and a power cycler
It’s decent but the problem is the gimmick is the power swing
Unpowered it feels like a wet noodle
But it’s fine for now if anything it’s just a nerf to melee for vet to not be better over zealot
Depends on your perks yeah
If you do get one
I prefer Pcycle and Momentum
Thing turns into a stiff light saber
XD
I still like slaughterer on PS cause once you get a few stacks even the unpowered swings can be pretty good in a horde
I normally play ogryn and zealot so vet after getting their durability nerfed (played on launch and came back for p13) feels weird
Or start one hitting a lot of other stuff in mixed hordes
I feel slaughter is best advised if you’re not with P cycle
Cause the damage helps to counter act the thing
But doesn’t mean it won’t work
Yeah I'm stuck with PS 3 still
Just feels like overkill if you rely heavily on it
Power cycler* 3
Oh I remember people spent mills to get the roles for PCycle 4
This server was just all the crave for that
Same with god roll Bolter
FARRK
legit is that what it takes to get a auric worthy weapon
Anyone on and wanna grind out some weekly’s?
Is shovel any good?
You can take a profane into auric if you know what to do with it
I was lucky with bolter and had that god rolled like basically in the beta lol
But truth be told I don't run PS in Solo's much. I have to change play style completely between solo and with a party
Tried it, got a attack speed buff
Swings faster so yeah
Nah even okay weapons can work on auric how you play is 99% ofcif the run succeeds or bot
Want a decent weapon similar to a devil claw and an axe
Since it can roll brittle

you could perform just as well with a chainsword which isn't nearly as expensive/difficult to build
I dotn run it much as I’m still trying to make my devils work as I love the counter it can do
Helps with ragers
Chainsword is legit, a great balanced option tbh
But the issue rn is that it works and doesn’t work in terms of its parry’s
It can block but still gives damage
Sometimes
so what curios are ideal, since youre tyyna not get hit would stamina be more crucial than wounds/health?
and ofc block efficiency
Curios imo are pretty free form. Icing on the cake in my view, and depend on how you play
It’s versatile
With boss killing potential
ok vet chat i have questions because im leveling one now after like 100 levels on a zealot and 60 on an ogryn. what do i need todo to not die and how do i navigate your tree because that bottom part phyiscally hurts to look at.
i take a combination of toughness regen, stam regen, toughness, and sniper resist
On my vet I usually take 2 hp curios and a +3 stam. I don't take block efficiency cuz I don't block very much. 3 hp perks, 1-2 perks to both sniper and gunner res, 1 to corruption res, 2 to stam Regen. That's what I like to run but a lot of stuff works, it's more preference than anything
and one +3 stam curio
thanks noted
Is the empowered activation block cancel only for mk6?
hello all my fellas
LOL basically don't take any bottom talents. The bottom left one can be situationally good to hit certain breakpoints and can proc a lot with shout ability
It depends on your fire arms, and play style
Voice of command is really good for survivability
what’s the best chainaxe perks and blessings and modifier distribution
do you need stamina to dodge more or is dodge not affected by stam?
Want to do flank dmsage go hard right
Confirmed kill and/or Iron will (bottom part of center tree) are your best survival nodes
i did want to go shout vet because it gives merc v2 energy
for best survivability, Confirmed Kill + Iron Will in the lower-middle column is almost mandatory
i found it hell of a alot easier than the left ability
and yeah it combos great with shout overheal
Basically all of your builds should have some of that lower middle tree
Close order drill at the top, and then most of the stuff in the bottom middle is great and gets you to rending strikes which is also great. Shout ability with the +100 toughness to teammates is overtuned and strongest atm
Is the empowered activation block cancel only for mk6?
if i don't take survivalist am i a bad person?
Yes the mk3 doesn't charge on block at all
Imo it's by far the best aura and you're trolling if you don't take it lol
Yes 
3% damage is only acceptable if you're avoiding a point tax
And even then it's not great
yeah thats what i mean
you'd only not take Survivalist if you're purely greeding a path for more skill points, which is funny 
The heck did I just roll?
OR, you have friend vets who will take it for you 
just dont bother go after enemies further than 30 meters
Nice! Try not to steal all the ammo lol
i mean shoot at
i know the other 2 auras are garbage but like i feel like you need to sell a kidney to get the skills you want sometimes and honestly the ammo kidney is looking real sellable
Yeah vet survivalist is basically mandatory though. All it takes is one or two ammo hungry varlets to steal an ammo pack that wasn't intended for them and suddenly the team is rationing lol
the kick even braced is pretty monstrous
WAIT GUARDSMEN, LOOK IN #🐦tweets-sermons
Me not taking survivalist so I can give people damage on shout, RNG damage on hordes, easily get good and refundable grenades and buff my consumable packs 
Demolition team doesn't give nades to allies anymore

I'm talking the funny 60s grenade, blessed be its name
wtf is a keystone
I think its a new feature
purple talent
I'm a vet, I avoid bottoms of trees
You are the bottom
No clue what a "keystone" is
question is what will the keystones do
I think
need deets
yeah this shotgun is a fucking torpedo launcher
They help us shoot guns
It’s a stone that looks like a key 
for every other class except vet, keystones are special purple talents at the bottom of skilltrees that give them special mechanics that can be upgraded with more nodes
I run demo stockpile on everything, I think it's too useful to not
veterans will get them soon
Stockpile is goated
if they don't fix our penance i am going to shit
I don't know who needs to hear this but...
DON'T USE WOUND CURIOS, USE HEALTH FTLOG
It's a chainaxe
no
chance for 1 bullet to deal 50% more dmg
I'm sorry you rolled one, friend

rip bloodletter off though
NEW KEYSTOEWNS
Ye, I'm not much of a chain axe guy. I got a good one as an emperor gift and wasn't impressed
Maybe someone can educate me, but what edge does it have on anything else?
What's a better perk perk to have on the Vraks VII Headhunter: unarmored or unyielding? Deciding to see which one I'll switch out for flak.
Vet keystones vet keystones owowwowowowoww
If I was to make a chainaxe, which I have, I'd slap thrust and slaughterer
its a niche boss killer
Where is this from?
Alright everyone! Time to theory out the new keystones based on some blurry pixelated images! 😄
it used to be semi best chain weapon with slaughterer then they nerfed slaughterer
Chainaxe is the vet equivalent of thunder hammer
Take a look at what brunt is selling... TIER 1 headhunter
Veterans have won today
Does it kill faster than a chain sword would?
New Veteran tree incoming
I ALREADY HAVE LVL4 BLOODLETTER
Ah ok
game trash
worth trying?
Chainsword is incredibly goated at the moment, so nah
just use chainsword if u want they perform same function
That's what I was thinking
new kidneystonesss
Darktide players love kidney stones
ive had kidney stones twice, do not recommend
yes
hell yea
grow them big enough for ogryn to throw
Right now with the way I set up my talent tree, to get survivalist I'd need to lose the team damage on ult, 15% toughness, 10% rending and born leader
hmm, update coming november
nice sword, now let Hadron touch sword 
u serve the emperor by growing stones for the ogryns
part 2 coming december
And if I didn't want to lose born leader because I basically eat anything that glows red for breakfast, I'd give up on the revive shout that really saves the day when needed
Hmm, now I may be wrong, but I think left is for sharpshooting, middle is support, and right is combined arms
guessing from the icons:
- headshot/sniping keystone
- coherency buffing keystone
- gun and melee keystone, with further nodes to lean into either
the guessers
The rest is screwing stockpile or the funny grenade ammo box, because the other other thing I have is the weakspot buff that allows me to one-hit all but one specials
They accidentally made a nice tree with tradeoffs
now enhance the part 2 image, unblur!
anyone got a Heavy laspistol build for veteran?
Something like a comisar
are we gonna get clown zombies
also that trailer music, freaking banger inbound
might as well try to get a power cycler 4 from it i guess
Track is Nightsider on official OST
They don't miss with the music
So Vet’s getting keystones
I wondered when we would finally hear it ingame so I suppose thats when.
Very nice
alot faster
i wager a lot of redundant nodes are gonna get culled to make room for these keystones
Even now? That's a solid use for it if it's a good boss killer. Is there a blessing combo that does this best?
I could use a boss killing melee 👀
knife with bleed stacks
True
uh there is but really its useful for 1v1 or boss killing
bleed on bosses is good
thrust and headtaker
All the reload perks
(Ignore the damage) But with these two blessings, bosses and monsters just get fucking mulched
lol the shotty already reloads good
And focus on weakpoints and crit talents
Ohhh thrust with rev attacks could be nice
It helps trust me
I personally recommend a chainsword with Bloodletter and Unyielding perk, same effect but more nimble to still be useful against trash
14 stacks? Man I need to try Chain axe now
yess it kills crushers in 2 hits

#DARKTIDE
The Agri shotgun is a very reliable anti shooter gun even without headshots
Behold
Red light district here we go!
and reapers in 1 hit
Actually nevermind, thats not nightsider. Its a very similar but different track huh
Please know, horde-clear is ass. You're gonna be hella reliant on the shove-attack, and the heavies.
Mmmm I'm never really meleeing reapers anyway. And chainsword can do that too, and is more useful in horde
Quite similar to mine, I swapped out Deathspitter for flechette on mine
dont has flechette yet
But the thrust for boss killing could be funny
yeaa, hence why the chain axe is a very niche weapon atm
I only really use melee situationally so I’m cool with that. I really only pull it out in emergency
Alright time to stop bothering with new builds for the next 2 weeks I guess
Yeah
Flechette allows you to have hilarious number of bleed stacks when you come across monstrosities
You do like 200+ damage a second while you're reloading
Chainaxe is nowhere near reliable for "Oh Shit" moments. So have caution.
Depending on how much it is. Problem with thrust in my experience is that unless it's a realllly powerful burst you may as well do 2 uncharged heavies
Or if the target is a boss
We'll see how borked the new tree is
I'm excited for new tree
I mean chaxe is alright for the malice- gamers i guess. Wouldnt ever bring it on damn+ though
Vet update soon :)
Hopefully it's more of a reorg than a rework
I hope they give some damage reduction to stance, or give ways to buff it's power while in stance
I hope they had fun making Veteran a bit better
The nodes present are mostly fine, it just badly needs to be reshuffled and probably just get rid of the shitty cap nodes at the end entirely
Yeah, maybe some buffs too
Please put survivalist aura in center
For the love of Emperor
in the preview pic, the middle cap node got culled
Make Ex Stance tree more survivable for one
Gotta compete with shout and infil tree
Keystones will be interesting. Honestly survivalist should either be on every vet by default or just be eliminated entirely
There are some people here who would argue against that.
Yea I've seen the vocal theorizing ha
im really really hoping they have nodes that branch between the capstones
I'm a little confused on some opinions. Some say remove it, some say don't, and all I'm thinking is, "Its not VT2. We can't stay in our melee 95% of the time.
Or make it +50% ammo from pickups or something
3 kickback ogryns and their survivalist vet mule
Id say it should stay. Some weapons will really suffer without it
I am more than happy to be their bullet mule.
yeah just rebalance the ammo economy around not having one class supply loads of ammos
Or make it so you start with an ammo crate
i feel like survivalist should be a perk that applies only to the vet
and it being a slog when you don't have that one guy
Edited a vid from someone here yesterday
No yellow clothing
Wears full body armor
is that guy using an mg34 with power armor
If only we could get the chaingun from this art
Hopefully part 2 update brings new guns and weapon variants
Hmm, some sort of LMG? Longlas? Thats being realistic.
To me it seems like a braced or infantry autogun with BIG DAKA
i need a heavy as hell backpack volleygu-
HELLGUNS
Please dont be just teasing. I really want a hellgun
Lol tag FatsharkCatshark and confirm.
Isn't this just Ogrgn chat?
Bring them in for trial
not confirmed, but catshark personally suggesting it in our stead raises hopes a lot
Should've also asked them for Longlas
let our wants be known
Saw this vid in veteran chat yesterday
#RestoreVeteranRangedDominance
It’s a 42, and he’s a panzer cop from Jin Roh
I had a match an hour back where I really leaned into my job as anti shooter with Ex stance
If we just had a bit more survivability perks in the left tree, the Marksman tree wouldn't be so bad
other than have a long range scope what would a longlas do that a mk3 helbore wouldn't
Lol that's exactly what all vets were before the big rework. Anti Elite/Specials. Sometimes ogryns/monsters.
Whats so special about hellguns?
The BRRT
Vets currently exist to carry band aids and bullets
backpack power cable, no reloads necessary, more firepower
And occasionally swat flies
Well they would penetrate carapace armor for one, hellguns specifically are like the Machine gun version of las guns
4 scab gunners with hellguns
I'd assume just to balance it, its damage output would be low.
as it maintains role of suppression.
He'll guns are similar to what the Scab gunner uses
YES
Backpack powered heavy lasguns
Please make supp usefull
To avoid stepping on the Ogryn's toes, ours would less be a machine-gun and more an anti-material rifle
Ty guys
Lasguns that could actually possibly deal with carapace
i'd like them to deal solid damage, but be prohibitively unwieldy to equip or basically need you to stand still to control accurately
they hate us so much
Tempestus scions
With Shout? Yeah I can see us being that tanky
Although I'll be honest. Its when I played Psyker till lvl 30 did I truly appreciate their role
So long as I get the melta-gun soon™️ Ill be alright.
Leave ranged trash mob clearing to them. We are counter rifleman
we wont 
THIS
The fact it's there is going to create enormous pressure on them to make it a reality
Are we talking volley guns or hellguns or w/e the name for the heavy variant of the lasrifle is that th scions and karkasin use?

#DARKTIDE
On the way
Pog
That only works when people do actually clean trash unfortunately

But ideally yea
Red Light District update
Lol valid point. Always need variation.

Nov 30th right?
Any indication of actually getting hellguns or are people on the hopium?
Having people bitch at you for not taking out specials while you're busy covering your own ass from a mob that walked up and nobody confronted is lol
Idk
Yeah, luckily had two psykers and a zealot that did their work very well. And I enabled them yo do it by mopping up all rifleman
Didn’t see a release date
november SOMETIME
Just says November yeah
soon ™️
Although I did use the 'enemies here' tag a lot
They specified a year though? Right?
Probably within a week
Next week
my gut says 2 weeks
Since my head was on a swivel
right?
They usually turn around to find me gunning down the specials that are spawning behind us.
No date indicates the absolute end of November
i sincerely doubt itll be anytime soon
the vanguard set releases the 17th so i can only logically imagine then
Hotshots are the semi auto version, hellguns are the full auto
but fatshark doesnt always act logically
we're on the hopium train because catshark is personally sending our suggestion request to the devs
Yeaaaah
Seeing your teammates turn around in a panic because you just overfilled the kill feed, only to see an empty hallway, is a good feeling
Hotshots would be nice
Hellguns are also called hotshot volley guns sometimes
minimap mod is very limited use, but it at least gives me an indication of when my team is moving and I'm covering the rear.
is it just like a circle with dots representing you and your team? 
Oooo Hotshots would likely have insane cleave
So we can have the true railgun experience
Lol essentially, yeah. No enemies show up unless damaged (I believe)
Drill through hordes instead of the massive plasma balls
i swear me and one guy will always be defending a rear horde attack and the other two keep holding W and pull the hugest crusher patrol
Nah, that's the zealots. XD
You already know it.
We finally get the Warp Traveller track in the game 
You’re good
i forgot to disable ping
ISAW IT ALREADY
good

i hope we get one soon
My current Vet build allowed me to 5 shot to 6 shot headshot Crushers reliably on Heresy with a Vraks mk7 of all things. So I'm quite okay with zealots dragging crushers in like fleas on a cat lol
I HAVE SEEN THE EMPEROR
i cannot wait for my gunner korpsman to fire his first hellgun
was he goodlooking?
HE IS GLORIOUS
No need to look behind you if the objective is forward right? Right? Enemies come from the front right? What are all those odd netting sounds, guttural charging noises, smashing sounds and flamer screams anyway?
was he handsome?
I understand the seer now
excellent
regarding the update name "The Traitor Curse", wonder if we'll have to fight a dead 'ard traitor captain
Oh shit nice
How many arms does your emperor have
Tempestus scion gear when?
My hopium is paying off

I need that backpack. But how much will it cost me 😢
Someone told there were Jetpacks here 🤨
I can't wait for these backpacks, hope when we attack the Hotshot lasgun (if we get one) it adds on the lowerpack for us as a little nice touch
Holy shit wait so THE LAS VOLLEY IS REAL???
this has been in for mooonnnthhs, same with the enforcer armor
I knew someone could do it. I was waiting for someone to make it in that mod.
WHAT i have NOT seen that one holy
The carnival looks exciting. Heard it's where the "fire team" auras vets are born from.
Splash screen gear is too
We need gravshutes

Looks like just the model for now but functionally a Boltgun from the holding animation
We're back
Make people angry 😆
The model is in the files
This is peak veteran helmet I will not be told otherwise
Oh shiz. That's an official model?
I will make an entire guard army with them having this helmet
'Ere we go.
Break the gameplay loop a little by flying, gets clowned on by all gunners in the area 😆
Its modded onto a regular bolter
I have to reset my perks >:[
I can't wait to find out what these will be
But the model is official
I'm about to make a boltpistol knife build
Damn I need to screenshot all my trees to not forget
I hope these are from future redacted penances they’re adding
vet talent tree getting update!
are we seeing a brighter future? 
Meanwhile I made the complete opposite and made a proper stocked bolt rifle lol
Missile launcher when?
Hope they fix the magazine placement before this goes live, whenever that happens
would be cool as an altnerative to grenades in the talent tree
damn, thanks big e
I guess they're keeping explosive weapons to be ogryn's niche ?
One moment. Can the incendiary shells from the Kantrael crit?
Completely fair
I know they have infinite cleave
Yes
Ogryns need a lasscanon
Perfection 
Yes please
give orgyn twin linked chain bolter, i'm ok with that
You can proc flechette with fire rounds
Lol so fire and bleed stacks??
That sounds hilarious. Optimal? No. But hilarious
It's the main reason to take kant sg imo
I mean, if they really wanted to, they could give veterans the grenade launcher.
That’s Zealots job
two handed chain axe
Yes you can bleed a mauler to death with fire + bleed DoT
It clears out mixed hordes well
Theres alot that can be done
Not efficient but you can do it
Longlas snipers
This would be cool but Ogryn already fulfils that purpose
Give ogryn big hammer
Would fit the Volley Fire 'Sharpshooter' build really nicely
I want the scab snipers long las
I want a sniper rifle
Fuckin hel one shot everything
I'm obsessed with chain weapons 
If we’re getting a long-las I’m expecting it to one shot crusher to the head at base
I hope we get like two types of Longlas, as I'd love a Hellbore with a scope so we can pretend to be that Krieg Sniper out of the Killteam trailer
Agri slug shotgun lmao
I actually like to use my infil just so I can headshot that stupid sniper that's causing issues to the squad.
chainsowrd brrrr
should i swap stripped down to deathspitter t4 or chance specialist damage to 25% maniac?
my devils claw luck is honestly embarrising at this point
Death spitter
Give us a heavy bolter and see how many shots the player can fire before it just kills them 
100 percent ds
and my vet's best chain sword got sold off due to an inventory bug 
Mods allow you to change the zoom and stick reflex sights on helbores
have yet to get any form of rampage
Stripped down for Deathspitter/fire frenzy
I totally don't do that
tyvm
Imagine DaemonHost vs. 4 murderhobos with hellguns
have levelled up 3 different claws to yellow
I said scope /joke 😤
If I could I would take the relfex sight off my lasgun
You can...not
Can
I know 
what do you think these new keystones will be?
At nexus
hey veterans
Actually the one I'm thinking of is in the DT modding discord
the anniversary update trailer came out
What's up gamer
Jokes aside, when the deamon host downs someone. It's hilarious to see all the Vets in the squad line up infront of her. And it's max cyclic rate of fire into her face
and it shows new keystones for vets
Oh neat
Weapons Customization mod is working on something for sniper scope.
Not often I see it fail with half good Vets
Yes but we’re more occupied with catshark teasing hellguns
I sure hope we don't get nerfed
wait, can the scope actually work?
what does the hellgun entail?
Lol and that's what they're trying to do.
Overclocked, backpack powered, full auto las gun with higher penetration
They have it somewhat functioning, but from what others say, it's sort of janky
It’s what the scab gunners use
What was said!?
like scab gunner lasguns!
able to alter the weapon's accessory would be awesome
That just looks like a buff to me
is this from modding or in-game
Mod
modding.
ok
That looks. Actually not half bad.
Imagine commando vet gets weapon swap speed talent

The amount of stuff in this game that is simply toggled off is uh...mind boggling
I don't think I'd want that personally
Imagine if they said "F it" and toggled it all on
The game would be better slightly lol
I'd imagine a shit ton of new bugs
Commando Vet with an improved swap speed might make bolters more viable
Don't get too excited. The files for a Hotshot Blessing for the Hellbore have been in the game's files since launch. We're probably not getting a hellgun. Maybe a long las but that's still a big if.
Didn't think of that
Yeah like
Imagine the speed of the Headhunter rifles
But on a bolter
So we now have a proper heavy marksman rifle without charge mechanics
Bolter is pleanty viable
Keystone coming this month (within next 20 days)
Add orkish weapons like the dakkagun that hurts you Everytime you shoot it
Nice, although I'd like the idea of it just being cosmetic then gameplay changing (Other then blocking parts of my view, it is a price I am willing to make)
It'll be even better then!
There’s a big difference between stuff we know they thought of at one point, and a CM saying we “deserve it as a treat” it’s not a confirmation by any means but it’s one hell of a tease
its just an A tier plasma.
why cuz its basically a helbore but too good?
what stars don’t really matter on the devil sword
lol the subs
finesse and mobility?
Techno heresy with Xeno's tech? Mating press Death
That gifs hilarious
we already gots a kannon! (kickback)
Its noncomittal and vague.
Is that John commissar Reilly
I love John c Reilly
Maybe
I suspect this is Jasper Kyd dark magic at work
The c stands for commissar
Just type 'Commissar' into the gif finder
That’s why I said it was a tease
They make some of the sickest video game music
Imagine him actually playing the role of a commissar
And that's why I said don't get excited.
He probably could
Get up there and get them or whatever or I gotta shoot ya I'm sorry I don't make the rules :/
New weapons on second half of anniversary maybe?
Lol if Henry Caville threw him into his series, I'd totally be okay with it.
He'd be the misunderstood commissar that shouldn't be in that position
It’s just me
“I’m not entirely sure how I got here.”
He'd the commissar assigned to a platoon of Kriegsman.
"They just keep charging and I can't stop them."
These guys don't say much I don't know what their deal is or if I offended them or something but jeez it sure gets quiet
Don’t Krieg commissars have a tendency to umm… “kill themselves with several lasrounds to the back”
Krieg commissars have a tendency to not be from Krieg, and the position tends to be a retirement position
Also not to be a lore head but they're called Causemen
Neat
The death korps plural is causemen
"They have some pretty dark humor when we're in the trenches."'
is stagger a dump stat for boltguns?
We all sat down to eat one time and I was literally the only person to say anything the whole meal.
Who thinks Lee Pace should be in the series. He just has a 40k look. Especially with his elf hair
red bolter with 100% reload speed when
I don't know if I can keep doin this Ricky
4rth decent rolls on a sword today, surely it won't brick instantly again
The funniest part is that I can hear him actually saying these lines.
Lmaooo
That’s how u know he’s good
If u instinctually read something in an actors voice, that’s a good actor
His sad inflections as he's complaining about feeling like he can't make any friends
I think that's enough stagger to knock bulwark shields in one shot still
I'll test it out. If it is, it's enough, the stats are good?
Lmao
It just reminds me of him at the end of guardians trying to explain to drax and rocket why they can’t commit crimes
No wait! I got it! He'd be the perfect actor casted for Ciaphus Cain!
Healthiest person in 40k
You can’t swear!!!! Anyways intestines
The gore is amazing in this game tho
Lol turn off your chat censor
John c Reilly commissar sitting down looking defeated staring off in the distance
John C Reilly Commissar being celebrated as the hero of the imperium but confused as all hell.
Yeaaaah!! We are cheering for me alright!! For all of the super good things I totally did! Looks around nervously
"All part of the plan guys."
Funny. Most of my rifle shots blow off their head entirely.
Lots of blood fountains with this Vet around.
Krieg deathwatch assigned to other guardsmen factions tend to suffer from morale issues because I would assume they dont understand that guardsmen actually have morale
They almost aren't even human
It's really creepy
it was, one shot staggers the shield away. thanks for the advice :D
Thunder hammer moment
Well it is that devotion Kriegsmen have
The only thing that can repent the sins that the traitors caused is to die for the emperor
I wouldn't call it devotion
Its fantasism
It's like they lack a part of their brain that lets them...feel want...or fear
Well yeah
A kriegsmen with fear, or feelings wouldn't survive basic training
This is why krieg commisar have it easy
They aren't afraid that the krieg troops are gonna retreat
Doesn't tabletop say that Kriegsmen straight up cause -5 morale?
To who? The allies or the enemies? Yes.
I have to wonder about their basic training
They just need to make sure they go in at exactly the right time
Child soldiers
I mean. If I thought to myself
“This fight can’t get any worse.”
And Kriegsman show up. Nah bro, this IS the worst
If kreigsman have shown up at your command, you know you're about to see some fucked up shit
Debatable. They don't need to tell them to charge. It's telling them to stop charging that usually ends up getting the commissar killed.
Debatable
Iit would be heresy to kill a commisar
Relatable
"Executed for cowardice"
A kriegsmens duty is to die for the emperor
Depends on situation
Guardsman life is the currency of the Emperor
And wasting is bad
And to attone
Have y'all read Krieg?
Yeah
It's a really good book
Theory crafting time?
Nah I'll save my energy
😔
I don't see the problem
but that's half the fun of pre-patch info
rightmost one looks like a gun-melee duelist thing where you are rewarded for swapping guns frequently
You enjoy your fun I have to sit in this foxhole for 36 hours with no water or food
Ranged, shout/support, melee cqc
Oh by the by guys. Does Decimator on the shovel work with heavy attack chains?
Was thinking the same.
Left: Something that goes pew better
Middle: Something with toughness
Right: Something with swapping between gun and melee
What do causemen eat?
Like what's in a kreig ration
Corpse starch?
They just slinging bricks?
Left "Faster reload/high crit chance on headshots buff that last x seconds"
i think the left one looks like something with weakspot hits, maybe crits on weakspots
Better yet
Weakpoints, Coherency based, and Close Quarters Damage
middle looks like coherency something
imagine a keystone that is just
"All coherency bonuses doubled for all in coherency" or something hilarious lol
Isn’t corpse starch basically like the last resort though?
It should, it makes no sense for it to be a normal meal
Unless is in low %
"For every ally in coherency, fire rate increased for all team members by x%"
Imma google
corpse starch, standard militarum MRE
Isn’t cannibalism like. Turbo illegal in the Imperium anyway
Clearly not
Call it "Wall of Guns" keystone
Since corpse starch is a thing
"Grenade explosion radius increased by 25% per ally in coherency"
Rules get broken here anyway who gives a shit
hopefully one of them gives us a way to skip reloading, maybe similar to the old talent where it reloads your weapon on activating ult, or something new like the weapon reloads itself while stowed
A single Vet and three Gorgonom heavy stubber Orgyns be like
manual reloading is cringe
