Going for push when you don't have too is also pressuring your team. Like if everyone already shooting in general buster direction, don't go pushing
So yeah, buster is a special case
Buster can come in sparse group
i have ptsd from when bursters wouldnt det each other
and if u had a conga line ur choices were shoot or find a random guy to eat all the explosions
Sound mix is fked this patch too
burster trains are the most fun
that shit was so cancer
u were basically guaranteed to get detted on at least once per game in auric
It was never not funny to see someone get instagibbed going for push
i would regularly sacrifice overconfident pub players to the bursters
They chose to be stoopid
better them than me
"Please do not hit barrel"
my favorite wipe involving a barrel is this one time on one of the torrent maps
right at the start
barrel by a ledge, fighting enemies, ogryn staggers an enemy out of the arc of my caxe heavy
and i hit the ignited barrel
instantly sending 3 of us flying to our death
the remaining pub player could not clutch 😔
The fkng disruption map with the 2 barrels between the spy station
The one where you upload false data
There are often 2 terrible barrel between spy station on top of the stair
Hab dreyko barrels after the first section, at the trade quarters. <.>
Hey a barrel flies off the map into the trade quarter
Also the fire barrel in the radar mission, middle event ?
I need a tier list of worse barrel position
If only mission had easy way to identify them... like name that are not DELTA BRANCH X11356
Is the vraks any good?
I heard vraks 7 is top tier but its not for me
So lets see: hab dreyko, revolving door map, cryo map, hot smelter map, lasgun canister map..n
Ascension riser
so i have an issue, with the keystones coming for vet, howi s this going to wrok? will i still be more or less the same or do i have to sacrfice more? because one of my builds is already stretched and if the keystones dont replace a few then im fucked
because this is my build as of now
It was smth i guess
i like smoke
I hope the vet changes aren't garbage, I've been enjoying my build so far and don't want it mucked up
with the buffs it got we're pretty solid
I know obama, i know
What blessing should I change here?
my build hinges on that crit perk to the left and the bottom one
I'd argue they're pretty good as is tbh
change speed load to fire frenzy
Well, it took a while to make something good out of vet tree. And a full patch
Wait, I already had this, idk why I spent melk bucks on it
But there are still very, very poor stuff in it
The inventory management is garbage, that's why
What's wrong with having TWO of the same good gun?
Post both of them in screenshots to tease people who get bad rng
What, you don't like sorting by alphabetical order ? 
Not as if you gained weapon every game
O wait
I guess no one need a way to identify its main weapon
Does anyone know the mod to put peoples steamid next to their name in the text chat?
I saw a youtuber with it in a video
I have it but i dunno which one it is 
Hmmm
They should buff the mark 3's push attack
Buff the adm against Carapace and Unyielding
Spamming heavies will still be something
Chainaxe could use some luv
But the push attack can be chained for an L1 for quick single target deletion
But it appear chainaxe is cursed to be memetic
Reddit was right all along for the revolver meta
Revolver got what, 3-4 buff patch ?
If you buff enough even a meme end up being meta
Pre patch 13 revolver was decent
But it's not something that's recommended to use
And it got horrible ttk
I mean,
is kinda heavy handed when it comes to "balancing"
I don't use full auto mod
Really because I just got used to do tap firing in most fps games
Lets nerf pinning fire > 20% to 5%. Lets buff plasma > 4 to 100. Lets buff voc > -33% cd, 50% duration, 100% effect 
yes
I got it on muties event
They sometimes fall in same place, mostly immobile. Easier to kill in melee group
Dog goes all over the place its annoying
Also swap shattering to pinning fire
Cav to surgical, shattering to pinning
Atm shattering isnt that good on bolter
Pinning is still 25% power
Pinning Fire > Surgical
Unless you go VF, I think Pinning Shattering are still BiS
Surgical doesn't feel that good to me and I play a lot of Bolter
I can't decide whether to buy this from Melk or not
looks like a brick, smells like a brick
unless u need the blessings i'd say skip this one
fairy nuff
Finally power cycler IV
Mobility can be a bit higher but not bad for a horde clearing weapon
And my plasma gun
Shattering does basically nothing for a bolter right now
Except vs cara
And even then its... not much
Shattering reduced the armor of the enemy for the WHOLE team
Cos u 2 shot them either way. With or without shattering
I mean.
Yes the thing. That is now dead in the ground
For plasma is great because i can penetrate multiple crushers, maulers etc and stack that debuff on everyone that did not die
Bolter murders everything short of a boss in a few rounds
Bolter also has the thing of doing 100% damage to basically every armor type across all ranges (except carapace)
So rending loses a LOT of value
I dont use bolter honestly, its like what is the point when i have plasma which does better job anways
Precision rapid take downs
That u dont need headshots for
Also better ammo eff
faster pull up, huge ammo clip, knocks down ragers, crushers maulers if they are not dead, aaaaand the ability to shoot trough people and through walls and light cover what more to ask lol
Well bolter magdumps way better
i just move behind my ogryn and blast away
Basically plasma is better if things are lined up
Bolter is better when things are spread out
Tbf they both suck at magdumping atm
people underestimate the ability to shoot through friendlies and walls, see a sniper? i dont even bother to see if he is hidden i shoot with the plasma and most of the time its a kill because sniper was hiding behind light cover
Plasma def better for MLG montage 😎
plus even if you shoot it at 100% game stops you now for 1-2 times as to not blow up
Its two different weapons. Very hard to compare
Its like saying what is better. A headhunter or a braced autogun
Ah lets not compare any gun then because they are all different....
Ngl i kinda hate that we have hidden percentages
I mean as I said. Have a spread out concave of gunners and bolter will sing
I am not denying that
Have a line of ragers down a narrow corridor and plasma will do well
I just think that overall in MOST situations plasma preforms better
Eh
Spread out enemies is very common in larger rooms
As is clumped up in corridors
for example, there is a horde on your ass? then you see 4 maulers comming at you, i can just pull out my plasma since its fast and blast away
Both situations come up a lot
bolter pul up is very slow
Its fine
Its helbore levels
And helbore is perfectly capable of shooting while in a horde
And Bolter isnt as aim intensive as helbore
havent gotten a single 4 blessing from my blue spams
More likely , but going to blue can get PC 4
Buy a white power sword, get it to blue, and repeat
been doing that for this whole week
I gfot it after 15 tries
had a one day break to get hand cannon on zeal revolver
Took me 325 hours of playtime.
And I was focusing on powerswords for the majority of that time too.
dc when extract
man
...
Me just 15 tries, a week
pien
Welcome to Fatshark's slot machine.
i hate this fuckin grind
But yeah
Don't think they want anything other than your user engagement metrics and money.
Rotund megalodon.
It goes beoyond logic though, for example i have great weapons now right? But i want to try something new, but all my other weapons are weak so that means i gota struggle in order to play with my other toys because of RNG? So what do i do instead, shut down the game and play smt else, then come back play few games on my character with my upgraded weapons (since other weapons are shit) and then quit again
If i had MORE TOOLs to chose and better weapons, i would switch all the time and the game will be more fun
i play this game to have fun not to play rng crafting simulator
I will play the game 2x more if i have 4 different upgraded melee weapons and 4 different upgraded range weapons of my own choosing
I don't think anyone is gonna argue in defence of the crafting system
is dis good to buy ?
No
too low finesse
if you gota have dumb stat rather make it low mobility then finesse
ok
Yep. But remember that the game spent 9 months with an average player count of 2.5k or so. And to Fatshark that was a-okay.
They are perfectly fine with that bottom line.
Mobility is only spring distance and dodge range, which is not a big deal, since you still have same dodges as 50% mobility as 80%
Which is weird to me
There could be more players. But what they have is already enough to meet their minimum.
Any extra is just icing.
That's what I'd infer from that period of time.
And now with console players enticed, they're already set financially.
after 1200 hours between psyker and zealot, i rolled a vet
got power cycler 4 in 2 or 3 rolls
and got this bolter in 5 or so rolls
really lucky
VT2 runs on those numbers
For years
just got this promising autopistol from melk.. is powderburn good now or?
It's decent, but its use case is different from that of say BA + Pinning Fire
And these two blessings have more generic use case - just fire
Whereas Powderburn is mostly relevant against suppressed targets (but it gives you a stronger suppression factor and reduces the recoil, so there's that) - notably, not all enemies can be suppressed, because some (like Maulers or Bruisers) are outright immune to it.
Powderburn Ius SAP might be good on a Stealth Vet, but even then an IAG will probably do better/be more flexible in other situations.
Whats the dump-stat on the lucius mk3?
Oh yeah I planned to give this a spin on my melee infiltrate build. Currently running a Columnus MkV on it
Does Shredder have access to Raking Fire?
Stability, probably.
Ammo is not super important either, but it's nice to have it high
yup
iirc
the problem with powderburn is that most melee enemies just have absolutely no suppressed state
Oh yeah, I just checked, it does.
which is unfortunate and it should probs do something like slow them down a lil
That certainly would be nice
Also, I made this today
I wonder if Supercharge does anything even remotely useful for the PS
Well I fucked up that bolter that I got, but having too much fun with this to care
Power Cycler IV my beloved
If tou melee a boss? 
Crit damage perk is a little yikes, but it's a good Vraks 7
Well, yeah, maybe 
So is the grenade talent making you immune to stun bug gonna be fixed with the veteran update?
We don't know, really
i forget what the other perk was that I replaced, but it was much worse
I've been taking full advantage of the bug and will be sad to see it go. XD
second Veteran to reach lvl 30 
Sweet penance drip
looks like he has those forest mushroom they say taste like chicken for a beard
I like to call them my thigh ticklers
Looking at my options for autopistol blessings - am I correct in the understanding that Powderburn is difficult to get value out of because you can't really suppress melee units, but Pinning Fire is great because most things are easily staggered?
& that Raking Fire is a bit of a meme outside of boss fights
suppression is really strong. getting gunned down by a squad of shooters and getting staggered to death from the chips is a real thing. powderburn works well. pinning fire got nerfed a lot so its still good but not mandatory imo.
raking is for more flanker playstyle.
what you find best on a weap will depend on how you play.
do you stay tight with squad and shoot down everything?
do you pref melee and only switch to ranged when you have to? etc
In my case its in the context of a melee-focused Infiltrate build with a 3am cat zoomies problem
Lets hope the balance isnt that fuckin goofed 
There are enough balance issues across Ogg an Psyker already
with infiltrate you will likely get better value out of raking fire if you can position well and not die trying to get flanks.
imo you want to focus on maniacs with your ranged weapon for that kind of build. so maniac and either crit, flak, or possibly unyeilding. then take what blessings you feel work best. suppression is great, are you taking it in the skill tree too?
Press f on any ability chosen and get ammo + bonus damage for x seconds.
pre patch 13 bolter my beloved
-6s on ability with every special killed btw. 
Yeah I haven't touched bolter ever since they removed sustained fire. 
it's still fine now
it was just funny af before the pinning fire nerfs and sustained fire
Your loss then; Bolter still feels awesome (I’m a Malice prisoner tho)
bolter is fine, middle of the pack, after being super strong for ages
I am a noob so I need my 30 rounds of boltgun spam.
tbh anything works fine on malice
Become the opposite of Dirty Harry, count your shots and reload on the 1
its when you move up to damnation breakpoints and enemy numbers you need to kill things fast and efficiently
True 😔
Sustain fire my beloved 
#veteran-class message
once you start getting comfy and getting some nice rolled weaps I really rec trying out heresy then damnation. matchmaking can be a bit wonky. but i love the challenge. normal damnation is what i play when im feeling lazy, aurics are lots of fun
heresy is a nice midpoint with the HP numbers of damnation but much lower agro to give you a chance to get used to it
hope to see you on damnation soon!
Im slowly pushing into Heresy, on the days I’m not hitting the amasec
All I will say is that Drunktide hits different
what weaps are you running atm?
Personally i play better when plastered 
is there a mod for accuracy by anychance out there?
Got loads. Gimme a minute to get dressed & coffee & fire up the battlebox
But I’ve been playing on and off since beta
Are you asking if there is a mod for aimbot?
There’s mods that add red dot sights to everything
No, the guns are as they are
I mean, i want to know how many bullets land the entire game (shot accuracy)
like a scoreboard thing
You can get the extended weap' customization mod, but other than them letting you add basic sights, there is nothing out there that would effect accuracy that wouldnt be considered cheating
i dont mean aimbotting ffs 
Oh right, check nexus. There are a number of plugins for the scoreboard, might find summat
Oh. Probably a plugin mod for the scoreboard mod. If it exists
there is a scoreboard extension mod that tracks crit rate and weakspot rate for melee and ranged but i dont think it tracks total shot acc
I haven’t heard of that exact feature as a plugin. But the modding Discord is where to start looking or asking for it:
I tend not to actively try to flank much except against bosses and even then I prefer to get silly with krak+melee. I mostly use Infiltrate for turning off aggro during revives, toughness recovery and the damage buffs and I usually deal with most nearby specials except trappers with melee anyway
to the bottom wow
most people stop at trench fighter level
if he has enough talent points why not
The extra close damage from that capstone is very strong, but because its tied to ability use the uptime isnt really fuck all over the course of a mission
I'm a melee goblin
i personally dont feel the keystones are worth it, though they did get a slight boost when VoC CD got a huge buff
They're stand-ins anyway it would seem, so no harm no foul, if it works for you, it works
slaughterer IV good on power sword?
Things might change drastically depending on what they do with the new update for the tree
all that to say, the autopistol would mainly be a supplement for my power sword I think (this build also has ~220 toughness with curios)
Laspistol > Autopistol imo
Autopistol still works, but its nowhere near as good as the Laspistol
Particularly given you're taking Onslaught which will get stacked basically for free if you roll Infernus on said Laspistol
laspistol is S tier atm for sure. if you can shoot heads it is incredibly ammo efficient, and can do pretty crazy boss dps
handles everything pretty well even crusher packs
Did not try the laspistol yet. Definitely not S tier in popularity 
Weirdly
The gun I see the most is the revolver
Idk why people are sleeping on it, its competative with the best of the best
Revolver is in its own league at the minute for sure
strange comparison. shredder more comparable to columnus infantry auto
But unlike previous OP weapons of old, it actually makes some kinda sense for the Revolver to be very strong because long reload
There is a LOT of good gun in vet arsenal rn
I don't think laspistol is particularly noteworthy in that regard
Play a few games with it, its up there with the best now
Like comparable to how MKXII used to be, only with a much faster firerate and better crit chance
nah
its Rampage now
or brutal momentum
rampage prolly gonna get patched tho
it will be
and itll be a sad day for my claw
Yeah Catachan Swords will still be ace
What is wrong with rampage?
The commissar told me my columnus was too small, but i told her its meta now
Rampage does more damage then intended
How much more?
Not sure about the exact numbers. But I thought rampage gave it’s damage increase on activation like twice? Might be wrong tho
100% more iirc
Thats nothing, check out this midget 
That sir is an average sized weapon of war
Did u use an accatran barrel to get it that short?
Meanwhile I made this
In game?
Yuh
Da fuk whered u get the scope
The mod has it
Oh shit fr since when
How's this?
Tis alright if you hab nothing else
shattering impact first, then pinning fire second weapon upgrade, pog
I find it chews through armoured enemies really well
Latest updoot
Would be better if u got flak on it
Oh cool is it on all the guns or just the vraks autoguns
This one is my proper marksman rifle tho
I haven't checked all of them yet alas
locked sprint efficiency
Ranged damage buff for elites is nothing to sniff at
ffs
That fucking barrel lmao
also is this a good pairing with the bolter?
TBF, its a bolter, you'll probably have situations where you gotta lug that boi when runnning about than wait 1.5 seconds for a weapon switch
Although it feels like 2 full seconds at times.
Why I shifted to autoguns
Its meant to be a boss melter bolter tbf
but I can one shot most enemies and a could for anything chunky
Brought to u by saint Kalashnikov
It's the amount of ammo that is the issue
Hits like a SVD too!
Man i believe that I gotta dress up my vraks
On Heresy it one taps any hooman sized enemy except Maulers
U got a god roll?
Although with my crit build at full tilt it'll three tap Maulers so that's hilarious
A bit less forgiving on Damnation, but still. I can deal with one head one body for specials and some of the heavier elites
Ow damn almost a perfect roll ok those stats
So u run a sharpshooter build with this?
Mhmm. Leaning a bit into middle tree with Bring it down and Superiority complex
am i inproving as a vet?
Pushes pasta few breakpoints
I find running sharpshooter vet in damnation hard in general tbh
Yeah you need good add clearer Psykers
Then you're free to slaughter anything carrying a gun
Also have this Helbore
fellas am i improving as a vet?
Shame that my playstyle doesnt work well with it.
You Hound?
no Callum
Oo very nice, u should give the mk8 infantry auto a go
I find ive been wrecking with it in damnation
Also ofcourse the mk5 columnus infantry
I really could not like the automatics.
Doesn't have the point and click adventure the Vraks can pull off
Idk why they keep buffing it
Yeah but the amount of lead you can pore accurately is super fun man
I think they buffed the recoil and damage on them
Feel so good
why unarmored tho
Breakpoints!
Allows you to one tap some of the unarmored shooters in the chest
Which enables you to very rapidly clear out an entire room
sadly this is the only vraks ive gotten so far
i havent really tested this one but i have spent sometime on the semi auto one
huh when you put it that way
ya know its kinda funny my dumbass has learnt to keep up with pc players yet here i am using a controller on pc
Good to play, misses a few breakpoints vs the other two, but yeah
What perks should i roll for
I mean.. i wouldnt play with a pad myself, but more power to you if you're decent on it
Flak/Maniac
Ah i meant blessings my bad
Unarmoured isnt a dead perk tho so dont worry if you get stuck with it
Ah reet, Deadly Accurate + Headhunter/Surgical
I prefer Headhunter over Surgical myself, but thats mostly because i have no patience when it comes to holding my shots
Ayt nice ill try for those
shoots one bullet, lets reload
The agripinaa shotgun, is it just me or does the normal fire feel like hot garbage to use
Revolver gameplay
does the scope actually work?
If you're not aiming for heads it is, its very much a headshot-only weapon
fug wrong reply 
Ah is it just headshots? Bit saddening on a shotgun but ah well, I'll give it a try aiming for heads mostly
Just the niche it fills im afraid, Lawbringer is a little bit more forgiving, an Kantreal doesnt give a fuck where you shoot something
Ofc headshots are always gonna be more damage, but the Agri' needs it a lot more than the others
Yeahhh it just felt horrible having to unload 4 or 5 shells into a mutant to get it dead
I don't like weakspot fishing weapon
agri shotgun is the weakspot fishing shotgun. It is arguably a worse revolver
tbh old plasma when venting was health damage and you had to reload fast
That moment that chosing to bring a Helbore cost the game.
The switch time was just too much.
also yes 
In some ways most certainly, but its still fun to play
Tbh, most things are pretty entertaining even if they're not amazing
The incendiary shotgun is pretty fun
i need to try that gun still
MKIII power sword power cycler + slaughtere or energizer? what perks?
which
Does any1 use the extended weapon customization mod?
anybody know anything about the veteran keystones?
I like savage sweep for the cleave
Didn’t we have a nerd looking into the datamine for it
no idea
i just wanna know if they specialize into weapon types or nah
cause i think thay would be the best
i dont have savage sweep, i guess ill just wait for that blessing to pop up
Nope, but im kinda happy with it being a surprise
Is there any visible clue to differentiate between friendly fire area and environment’s fire area?
Zealot fire is yellower
As for Flamer, not really, other than it coming from the barrel
And is, you know, not on the floor
They should’ve made the zealot’s white and call it “holy flame”
At least it’ll be easier to tell
which blessing should I change for power cycler??
That would have been pretty neat tbh
It certainly isnt all that obvious at a glace. Often have fire go off under my feet an freak out for a second 
theyre both useful but id rather have rampage
Swap Wrath out
Keep Rampage
worth getting?
If you dont already have PC4 yes (and if its not gonna make you skint)
Do you have PC IV?
how can you see this??
no
aight thanks
He is hacking, Power Cycler 4 doesnt exist!!!
Its a mod mate

Get it and redeem the blessing
Get it the power cycler t4 alone is worth it
ok
Actually just use it as is
ah thought so thanks
No worries, installs are super easy if you're on the PC platform
Nahh, deffo pull off the blessing an roll a better one
cannot stomach the agri shotgun my god
Perks are scuffed on that
I mean use it for now
Ehh, i wouldnt
How farmed are you? If you buy that and change the perks it’s almost optimal
what perks should I get? should I keep the Wrath blessing?
Been playing since release lol
Before even, beta
Yknow I hope a keystone give us the ability to take 10% of ammo whenever a teammate picks up ammo

Sure, if they're gonna remove Scavenger
25%
(Which they should)
10% would be fine
An would still be a net positive over Scavenger, it just wouldnt break other classes
If anything, it would be a far better way of going about it than the current iteration
“Oh damn it we got two ammo stealing vets”
Wrath blessing is fine. Change the perks to bonus vs flak/carapace armored
Maniac instead of Carapace
An Wrath is kinda dogass because PSword already has access to really high cleave
Yeah.. it wouldnt matter for the Vet player so much if someone was taking all the ammo
10% of whatever they pick up, even if it was coherency tied, would be strong as fuck
I just picture a 0 ammo ogryn picking up a big ammo bag then realize there’s 3 ammo stealing vets
“Boss get your own”
Nah dont have it directly steal ammo from the bag, just give a comparable 10% of it for no cost to teammates
Next keystone should increase smoke grenade duration and make it darker
Also make it so people can’t tag through the smoke

the first one was a good idea, why'd you have to go an ruin it 
New update Vet’s Scavenger will be reworked to auto magnetize and pickup ammo boxes 🤗
Legit tho, i am starting to find uses for smokes more i play with em
Exe' and the node that gives teammates the highlight is a really good combo for smokes
If there is 2 vet with scavenger they enter a mini game everytime they both get into a ammo box range
i would like to try this if it didn't ask you to zigzag across the tree to get both
Yeah its costly, but it can be pretty strong
shredder grenades are still a lovely complement to most exe stance setups
They really need to make smokes shut down snipers tho
for sure
Oh yeah nah i agree, Shredder nades are great
got a whole list of extra stuff it should do lol
fast throw, fast detonate, work against snipers, snuff fires
Lmao, a bit more would be nice, but that sniper thing is the biggest change they could make to keep it competative with other options
Snuffing out fires tho.. that would be fuckin dope
Real utility if it were to do that
Based on the little screencap of the capstones images, we probably will to some degree
Started a zealot because I reached lvl 30 on my vet, but honestly miss the vet class
shutting down existing flamer puddles and countering bomber spam would be a dream
Make yourself a zealot thunderhammer + revolver build
Particularly for bombers 100%
You're just a very angry veteran at that point
There are more of em than ever now so a counter is due
Why dont they use white phosphorus for smoke bomb? Are they stupid
That hordeclears very badly
the only class i eagerly play besides vet is ogryn for their sheer bullying power
club slapped a chaos spawn to death the other match
Not really at this point since they removed the target cap for Hammer
Hammer also has huge reach so you can clear mostly without taking chip
look what was hiding in the armoy, brunty you bastard
No, left Keystone appears to be headshot centric, middle is marking enemies (sounds annoying to play) and right side is "agile combat" (switch weapon a lot playstyle)
Marking enemy sound becomes louder
I've not had issues with hordeclear, since I run martyrdom
Hopefully they stayed away from the certain weapon types thing
Nothing heavy swing don't get outta the way
So you play it like a PSword?
DING DING DING
my guess on middle keystones was team buffs for fighting in coherence
You can do that with the Ironhelm because the charged attacks cleave enemies yeah, not on Crucis though because the powered attack is just for single target bonklage
Either way, when both unpowered, they can still clear way better than they could before
^
I used to refuse to use the thunderhammer cause it was just a worse version of saltzpyres in V2
Now I use the mk2 for single target boss damage and horde clear
kruber hammer my beloved
that and exe sword, but i didn't play long enough to reach any sort of endgame weapon meta
I honestly preferred the mace+sword combo myself
NGL i didnt touch the ironhelm (only Hammer i got) once I saw the new moveset 🤢
Single target hammer is easy
You heavy spam for horde clear
and power up heavy for single target bosses
ezpz
DOC LOOK AT MY FUCKING BURGER
Your buns look dry
Thank
Potatos look good tho
damn that made me hungry, looks good
Discovered the game rather recently ... started Zealot, then Vet .... oh i hate this penance ... any tips, or just git gud ?
That's how much he'll charge you for just the water
hold block a copious amount and listen for back attacks
Keep your toughness maxed out at all times, get all the toughness regen perks and then make sure not to get hit twice
though... less easy now that sometimes your sound will bug out
even thought about trying stealth for it ...
i think shout would serve you better, that overtoughness will prevent your hp from taking damage
Call it sparkling water and charge 30
which i believe is what the penance is really asking for
it is yeah... good idea on shout tho
Sssshhhh
just do it on malice low-intensity
Best Curio setup for melee veteran? I'm usually rocking one wound and 2 max hp curios with max hp and combat ability CD reduction. What's the best for 3rd perk? Using mk6 PSword and voice of command.
I've tried corruption resistance. Didn't feel like it did anything impactful.
Tried toughness regen speed, doesn't feel like that's doing much either.
I like getting reduce sniper damage just in case
Doesnt happen often but when it does could be game ending
flamers popping my toughness is prolly the nr1 reason I go down ever 😄
2 toughness + 1 health is what I rock on melee vet
I run 2 toughness and 1 wound
I feel like toughness curios are a waste with such a short shout CD. Can always hide behind overtoughness and Iron Will until shout comes back up.
there's a few different curio set ups people run for various reasons, i run double health and stamina since it helps me stay health-y
veteran breakfast 😀
Wouldnt it synergize
More than anything
🍔 🥔
it does not synergise that well, but more toughness is still good
i should rephrase in saying that it works as well with toughness curios as it does any other curio
2 toughness +
one 3 stamina myself
What about perks?
toughness, toughness regen, stamina regen, sniper resist
in descending order of priority
So
Hows autopistol?
Is toughness regen that good on vet? You mostly get tuffnes refill with passives IME
mediocre beyond close range but still stumbles stuff good
Ah I see I see
Just run braced autoguns tbh
Which of the auto/hard hitting ranged weapons good this patch?
Columnus IAG is funny now
Agri mk8 is hella fun
Iag?
Vraks HH are big
what are the blessing to run on plasma besides get hot ?
It's most useful during short gaps in damage to top off your toughness back to full after taking a hit. It goes a long way over the course of a mission if you're in a position where you can't get the last hit on elites
Laspistol BIG
Fuk helbore, plasma and revolver was funi that crit revolver is extermiatus its too funi
generally gets you back into the fight faster if your shout/infiltrate isn't ready
Laspistol one of the best weapons in the game atm fr
But even if people dont like it, i enjoy the Agri' HH because its basically an AN-94
Mobility, visually low recoil, what’s there not to love
Wait so what i put on las pistol
I guess if you dont run autofire mod you get carpal tunnel 
Dumdum/Infernus is kinda as good as it gets
I see I see
i dont why las pistol when u have las rifle or helbors
I play unmodded and fire it just fine
It does way more DPS
Mobility and you're not forced to hold your shots, also what 'Nessa said
so fighting shooters
And has better mobility
Mobility goes crazy when u cut a lasgun in half

revolver has mobility as well
Laspistol go brrr
Ye but low ammo count
Yeah but it is wasted on small enemies
revolver 1 shots most of em and can get collats if u line em right
Laspistol can just execute shooters en masse
But that ammo is for special n junk
tbh focus on dogs and muties
Sure, but that takes from the pool of ammo you would otherwise be using to kill actually dangerous enemies
Laspistol’s lasers rated E for everyone, cept cara obv
my concern on las pistol is when u face heavier ones like maulers , ragers or even muties
not even ogryns yet
It fucking destorys everything that inst a Crusher tbh
Heavy pistol deletes maulers
dont stand too close to ogryns enemies might hit you throught them @halcyon owl
An even Crushers it can kill if you have Rending bonus'
Its also funny as fuck nerfing Reapers with it, they get totally clowned on
so going full rending with las pistol ?
reapers do nothing
Muties are always close enough to acknowledge them with melee and you can just krak the crushers
gunners om the other hand they scare me
Yeah, you can go full into it, you dont need to, but if you do it becomes a "do everything" gun
Even without rending it works great, a HS/Crit build does wonders for the laspistol
i can see it just deletes repears cuz u can keep plinging the head
so what perks , i know infernus and dum for blessing from before
flak and unarmored ?
Flak/Maniac is what i would roll personally
Flak maniac as usual is my guess
Unyeilding/Maniac is also a good pick if you feel like you need more boss damage
as a sparkhead ive come over here to ask you gun bois a very important question
can anyone actually tell me the difference between fire frenzy and death spitter on autoguns.......
boss is going to be a team effort anyway so i will abstain from thinking i can hog it
Crit is also fine if locked in. But I wouldnt invest to get it
Yeah, if you roll it its decent, but not as good as +damage perk
one gives power and the other gives a damage buff to enemies in 'close range' iirc
Damage, Stagger + Cleave all being part of "power"
for las pistol shout or executioner ?
god i hate you fatshark
yes and no, power is an umbrella term for some offensive stats
Users choice, neither make or break the gun. Personally i play it with Exe or Infil
fatshark needs to take finesse and "power" and shove them in the trash
tired of random terms being thrown around
It wouldn't be so bad if they actually told you what they do
namely power affects all your sources of damage, so if you have a power buff and have soulblaze going, power will affect your soulblaze ticks
So does damage though
damage buffs do that too though
i believe it depends on the damage buff specifically
Ye
fire frenzy killing enemies increases your damage (close range), death spitter increases your damage (all ranges) when killing enemies in close range
melk pls sell me sunder
But so does power
finesse you can see what it does in the weapons tbh
i believe this is true
Nope
power on the ither hand its more mistery
does deathspitter stack 5 time
yes
it does
really?
Yep
isnt finesse supposed to be weakspot and crit damage?
ok thats dumb
i dont know about deathspitter but fire frenzy stacks 5 times
You thought FS would keep things consistent
Finesse is Weakspot damage, Crit damage and Weakspot Crit Damage

Finesse modifier is anything from attack speed to weakspot/crit damage
ah yeah dude heres my hellbore
You forget. This game is coded with Chaos.

Ofc
Sometimes one. Sometimes both
Nothing would make sense.
just waitin to get better blessings to put on it
how rare is sunder
i think it only appears on on orange items
dammit
no
tzench coded the game even when nurgle its the main evil
but
if you're aiming for T4 blessings it may take a while
especially on powersword which has a bloated selection of them
its a Tier 4 only blessing for Power Sword
good luck finding it

just buy random ones and upgrade them till you get the blessing
and so it begins
i do that and tend to get the tier 3 and 4 blessings
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/weapons/sword-power/munitorum-mk-iii-power-sword <-- has info on sunder says tier IV only
look at the silver lining
welcome to the broke gang
you'll get to hear every single one of Hadrons voice lines

again and again and again
varlet jump off a ledge
did you know
back couple months ago
everytime you reroll something
mm?
Hadron would ALWAYS play her voice line
i remember
yes
it was pain
like EVERY FUCKING TIME
reroll until rarity wasnt a thing back then iirc
automatic reroll was a godsend that broke my earholes
and is that a bad thing?
yes... it was
it gotten so bad Reroll until rarity (bless that mod) has an option to turn her voice lines off
i dont mind hadrons voice lines
Is the Lawbringer still straight up doody? This is really tempting to buy from Melk
the problem is the 50000th time
yes, though shotguns are just a little worse than the revolver
the way the mod worked was that it essentially macro'd rerolling your perks for you, so you didn't have to sit there through a literal hour of rng clicking to get the perk you wanted
and every time Hadron would just
talk
Buy low, sell high I say. Might get buffed for the anniversary
she would not shut up
and no, it's good
at the very baseline, it's viable. I say it's good, i like it
yuh its good
what should i change >
Scattershot and Flechette is a funny build
when i was rerolling i would watch something else (taskmaster) though so her voice would be drowned out
I wanna say both blessings
shattering impact to gets hot or blaze away
no keep volatile
Shattering Impact is pretty pointless
Very true. I've got dockets to burn anyway, buying it
since your charge rate is high you want to keep volatile
and Volatile just reduces your damage
change reload speed to flak
only if you are below or at 73% charge rate
thank you 🙂
if you're above it volatile boosts your damage per shot

🧱
someone did say something about the damage chart for Plasma
anybody got the link for it
why cant FS just give us the ability to customize our weapons (a lot of books have guardsmen customize their lasguns), its lore accurate
telopots video on it covers the interaction between charge rate and damage, as well as volatile, so i always just refer that if anyone's curious
though the breakpoints part is a little outdated since patch 13 and 14
thats from 6 months ago
Cuz GW is looking over their shoulder making sure it ain’t turning into Fortnite last time I heard
Because skins
ryken is from 2 weeks ago though iirc he didnt cover the charge rate quirk
And weapons gotta stay lore accurate for GW
it's a small bug if we're being real, the damage lost or gained is always under 2%
but keep volatile anyway since you have it
Fire team moment
Because Fatshark moment.
If I need the Chainsword to take care of armored targets, do I put Bloodletter on it?
No
you get a power sword
if you're using the chainsword to take down armoured targets bleed won't do that much damage to them
crushers specifically
Bloodletter is basically only for bosses
no chainsword is best against high health enemies but no armor to flak
And apparently one shot BP on some ragers
It's not very good imo but people like bleed
i love bloodletter on my chainsword its lore accurate, so much blood
for the mg1a inf lasgun its headhunter and deadly accurate with maniac/flak ?
No Khornate demons on my weapons thank you!
yer
I am struggling with the "Make every shot count" Penance, does anybody have tips?
Revolver or a shotgun.
use a low ammo capacity weapon and don't bring survivalist
man relies on mods to run helbore lol
This one, perhaps?
https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/17qx6tv/plasma_gun_charge_rate_and_damage/
er low ammo reserve i mean
DO it on heresy, use a revolver, ??? profit
back in the olden days you could disconnect and reconnect while having only 1 ammo at the end of the mission, can you still do that now?
Doubt it.
Nope
they fixed a lot of the cheese you used to be able to pull off with penances
honestly you only need 90% so if you miss a few shots it's not a big deal just pick up some ammo
and hit with whats left
Your best bet is to shoot often into a monstrosity if you get one
thanks all
If I can do it anyone can 🙂
New to Veteran, is krak grenade or shredder better?
apples and oranges
Gotta go zealot for the bleed on crits too
Krak is for big things frag is for big crowds
Generally krak is more loved here
i tried to use krak i missed shredder so much i dunno just more satisfying to use maybe
Frag makes space while krak deletes almost anything it hits
The bleed damage nerf makes the shredder a bit lesser imo
WE have plenty of dakka to deal with crowds and watching a mauler explode into seperate bits it just 😘 👌

IS it exhilerating Takedown that's bugged?
It didnt suffer that badly with the nerf, it still wipes out big groups an makes most of the tougher lads notably squishier
yes
tah
veterans who mag dump into hordes deserve to be put on trial
unless it's a brauto
or
one of the other guns that does great into hordes
but not the revolver
Thanks so much for reposting this, was losing my mind looking for it
I will continue to sometimes empty my cylinder into a crowd for fun.
Volatile is such a terrible blessing lol
mr johnny boyo
Pls explainz
certified fatshark moment
Certified optimised ™️ programming moment
Whats going on with special spawns lately
poxbursters spawning out of nowhere
outside of the spawn rooms
Why make something complex when you can make it as easy as possible and not account for consequences of your actions 
I noticed it too
not just bursters
stuff just spawns in front of me
You even did a spin out of sheer confusion 
i had a whole gunner squad literally spawn right on top of my ass
trickle in the odd stalker or shotgunner too from time to time
what's a decent stealth build? I'm having trouble figuring one
Hahahaha
Hahaha i guess u dont have it installed
He a bouncey boy!
You wouldve known that the long range scope just came out today haha @umbral scaffold
So no indont need mods to run it
Imo you do a kind of revolver/shotgun orientated one or you can do an IAG/CQKZ one
what do u guys bring for no ammo pickup AM?
u should see my las pistol
How is typically a Ia lasgun build, anyway? Should I consider taking some rending from Rending Strikes or Brittleness from Onslaught?
The former paths through scavenger, the latter can get away without it for more points to spend patching to the bottom
i know ur pain
IAG?
I've got
Whats the conversion ratio from power to damage anyway
Like vet keystone that gives +50% power to weakspot hits
Columnus MKv right?
Yessir
This is a beautiful gun as well
Then why not just say +50% damage
power affects cleave and stagger too
Oh

Revolver carry?
Wait then I dont understand, why is one of oger’s early talent so much better than later ones
The +40% power on heavy melee talent
Oh
isnt the heavy melee attack a full charged one?
what's a good shootbang build with ranged weapon?
Bolter with Cavlace and Pinning fire
Literally spray and pray (but it works)
waht u guys think i should change for my second option on this thing
i was thinking carpace to flak or volatile to blaze away
new poxhound skin
doubnht but ok
this any good?
Damn I'm jelly
bought it just in case
Haven't seen any good rolled plasmas in the shop revently
neither of those blessings are good for plasma
id upgrade it cause it has perfect statage u might get lucky
Best like 340
whats the plasma blessings these days ?
are you talking to me?
Also when do you guys typically charge your plasma shots
shattering is pointless
yeah def not optimal
worth getting?
367
but beter than volatile right? cause i barely charge it
for the blessings
shattering is pointless you dont need brittleness on plasma
I might change elite to maniac and try it on damnation
@strange grove nice gun swap opening to headhunter and ranged to maniac
im hunting a mg1a atm but tis ruff out there man
Real
Crits and Sprinting?
