It's always a great sign when you start a match and your entire team unload ammo on the first three pox walkers they see

#

You know it's going to be a dry run

bitter turtle
#

Do people like HH or surgical vraks7

karmic musk
#

I mean if nobody else is doing it...

bitter turtle
#

I'm running surgical

#

But I was wondering

frank ether
mystic belfry
#

I will sometimes shoot plasma at shooters. But I took smoke on that build for a reason

forest blaze
#

There’s normally enough specials in AM/AD that I’m naturally clearing the horde while taking out specials/elites

frank ether
#

vraks 7 doesnt get the massive 45 round mag like vraks 3

#

so I think surgical lets me make the most of its ammo

bitter turtle
#

Ye makes sense

karmic musk
#

I had a 3 Ogryn 1 Vet match once, guess who's shooting at the shooters KEKW_ogryn

forest blaze
#

All of my ranged non special kills are simply collateral damage

bitter turtle
#

Just sometimes I do have to pump like 10 rounds

#

Like on crusher/maulers

#

So I wasn't sure

frank ether
#

yeah it goes from 0 to 100 its all down to crits

mystic belfry
frank ether
karmic musk
frank ether
#

with HH you'd have to spam

mystic belfry
#

You don't need exe stance for that.

bitter turtle
#

I see

frank ether
#

which is K for spammy guns

#

like vraks 3 is a spammy gun

#

so is agri HH

karmic musk
forest blaze
mystic belfry
#

Just tag

karmic musk
#

Tag shooters?

bitter turtle
#

I'm always mashing that tag button

mystic belfry
#

Let the ogryns tank the shooters with their infinite toughness

bitter turtle
#

Lmao

frank ether
#

gunners even in the dark can be identified by their green helmet glow

#

their eyes glow

mystic belfry
#

Assuming theres three fucken ogryns

karmic musk
placid portal
forest blaze
#

You can normally just ignore the shooters with plasma tbh. Just use your sword and stick to cover

placid portal
mystic belfry
#

An ogryn can just tank five shooters by using heavy attacks on anything

ruby hull
#

Here is my dream, helbore special swaps between melee mode and ranged mode instead of a melee attack.

Ranged mode acts like normal
Melee mode let's try block with rifle, light and heavy attack and do a bayonet charge with sprint attack

Melee mode procs all melee feats
Maybe make equip time to rifle longer to balance the fact you have a second full melee weapon

placid portal
#

Feel no pain + 3 10% toughness resist

#

55% toughness res base

mystic belfry
#

And more than that, plus they get a ton back by just heavy attacking

placid portal
#

Ye 20% 25% per heavy

frank ether
placid portal
#

Super tanky

frank ether
#

I like the idea though

#

like it'd be cool

mystic belfry
#

Meanwhile, they had to nerf vet toughness generation

ruby hull
#

It could just take both slots

mystic belfry
#

🤔

frank ether
#

but I just accept reality and I'm happy with bromentum slicing for now

placid portal
#

When kill confirm is 10%

#

Bruh moment

#

What a kick in the nuts

ruby hull
#

I want a full kriegsman bayonet charge veteran

forest blaze
#

Personally… I’m ready for new weapons. Bolt pistol. Plas pistol. Hellgun.

placid portal
#

Esp when they didnt fix exhil takedown

mystic belfry
#

Why'd they have to nerf the instant heal so hard and not the heal over time

#

Fucken rude

frank ether
karmic musk
frank ether
#

then it will be K

placid portal
placid portal
#

Legit you kill faster stabbing certain enemies than shooting if close range

forest blaze
#

I wanna recreate Necromunda with dual plas pistol, no melee.

placid portal
#

Mk3 needs to fix its jank ass melee animation tbh

#

Or be stabby

frank ether
#

not the best roll but this was pretty good today

mystic belfry
#

when you load into a damnation match screen and there's a level 17 and a level 18 zealot with stealth

placid portal
frank ether
#

%10 elite is a respectable perk

placid portal
#

Maniac is not needed btw

delicate moat
#

8% elite however is despicable

placid portal
#

You already 1 shot most maniac specialists

#

Try carapace or flak imo

delicate moat
#

oh btw for mg 1a, do you still want the classic flak/maniac perks?

placid portal
#

Yep

placid portal
#

Deadly plus headhunter

#

Git those lethal head crits

delicate moat
#

now if hadron would actually roll to those and not +1.5 stamina / 15% sprint efficiency / efficiency

midnight mortar
#

Yep, it's the same principle as the XII.

#

Deadly Accurate and Headhunter.

frank ether
#

actually

#

good point

marsh condor
#

What's the maximum number of bleed stacks?

placid portal
#

Helbore with kantrael sights are goated ngl

placid portal
midnight mortar
marsh condor
#

Okay

placid portal
#

I tested helbore with accratan and kantrael and kantrael offers better target acquisition from experience

marsh condor
#

So Veteran's Serrated Blade + Lacerate Blessings...means only 4 hits to reach that max stat?

placid portal
#

Lacerate 4 gives 4 stacks

delicate moat
#

yeah

acoustic wyvern
#

i didnt know this was possible

frank ether
#

you're one point short of %20 ogryn/monstro pensivewobble

marsh condor
#

Imma be honest.

#

I prefer being a Grenadier.

#

So BOMBS EVERYWHERE AWAY

acoustic wyvern
#

ogryns and monstro gets targeted often, i'll leave it to the team if they're targeting it

delicate moat
placid portal
#

20% ogryn boost is so significant bc you 1 shot reapers with mk4

#

Mk3*

frank ether
placid portal
#

Sadge moment

placid portal
delicate moat
#

wait what exactly does that 2.5% toughness replenishment node do?

half wigeon
#

Having lvl 30 in my Auric maelstrom 💀💀

placid portal
#

...

acoustic wyvern
#

oh the keystone?

delicate moat
#

yeah

frank ether
placid portal
#

Thats.... whats thr lvl

frank ether
#

since stunned boss = guaranteed weakspots

placid portal
acoustic wyvern
#

each stack of focus lets you regain toughness per kill

frank ether
#

but thats assuming best case scenario

marsh condor
#

How good is Mercy Killer?

delicate moat
placid portal
#

I thought it was toughness replenishment

delicate moat
#

idk what that description means at all

placid portal
#

Not recover toughness

acoustic wyvern
#

it hasnt failed me yet

placid portal
#

Toughness replenishment affects mostly coherency regen speed and delay

marsh condor
#

Someone should damage themselves in the Psykarium and test it out

south garnet
#

Toughness regen = coherence, toughness replen = from talents, blessings, etc

placid portal
#

Oh

#

Thats nice

#

Thanking you

acoustic wyvern
#

oh that'll work with confirmed kill nicely then. thats even better

unreal bone
#

Mob is the dump stat you only want good mob after you get good damage and pen

wanton dawn
#

Damage = Damage. Base damage = Damage loregryn

marsh condor
south garnet
#

Thanks for naming everything distinctly so it's hard to get anything confused fatlard

#

I especially appreciate always prepared being distinguished from always prepared

frank ether
#

obese megalodon

mystic belfry
#

More like tasty soup tbh

wanton dawn
#

I still dunno what impact does

mystic belfry
#

bonk

wanton dawn
#

And i dont care tbf

south garnet
#

Stagger, that's it

frank ether
#

Idk something something stagger

delicate moat
ruby hull
#

oh

#

i just discovered something

#

the bayonet DOES trigger the 25% damage buff from getting a melee or ranged kill and swapping weapons

south garnet
#

Impact effects which teammates will congratulate you on your flashy looks and stylish Maneuvers during the match

frank ether
#

which melee weapons have bromentum besides pswords? I think axes do

#

I want to make a list of what I can pair with hb3

ruby hull
#

free damage right there

placid portal
ruby hull
#

nah

#

it works

#

ranged counts as ranged kill

placid portal
#

Wat

ruby hull
#

melee counts as melee kill

south garnet
wanton dawn
#

Then again, hb is not a great user of this node

placid portal
#

So helbore melee can give itself 25% ranged dmg

delicate moat
ruby hull
#

you can have both 25% buffs at the same time with hellbore

frank ether
placid portal
#

If killing marked

gleaming turtle
ruby hull
#

which technically gives it a 50% damage buff after a melee and ranged kill in succession

frank ether
ruby hull
#

so uh

#

thats a thing

wanton dawn
#

"Technically"

placid portal
#

Helbore melee is still goatd

frank ether
#

It doesnt need right tree though

#

bromentum helps hb3 bayonet more than the entire right tree does

wanton dawn
#

Last time ppl tried the technically i was told that born leader is a good node

delicate moat
#

im still sad they made 15% melee speed to 10%

placid portal
#

How tf you use mk3 helbore melee feels weak

frank ether
#

thats how

placid portal
#

Wat

ruby hull
frank ether
#

yea

#

that makes bayonet viable

wanton dawn
placid portal
#

Weapon with bromentum applies to helbore?

frank ether
#

fatshark if you're reading

placid portal
#

Bruuuuuuhhh

delicate moat
frank ether
#

please dont take this away from me

placid portal
#

LMAOOOO

south garnet
#

They should remove the bayonet from helbore 3 and just make it whacking them with the heaviest rifle

placid portal
#

helbore mk3 needs to be stabby

south garnet
#

If you're not stabbing anyway

frank ether
#

I'll suffer emotional damage if bromentum gets axed to nerf power sword or some shit

#

my helbore depends on it

placid portal
south garnet
placid portal
south garnet
#

That would make it actually fun so won't happen but would be wicked

meager forge
#

what are the chances of getting power cycler

placid portal
#

Yes

south garnet
ruby hull
#

i was not expecting them to actually code the bayonet to trigger the melee half of agile engagement

meager forge
ruby hull
#

im betting agile engagment doesnt even check for a weapon swap

placid portal
#

Lmaooo

frank ether
#

thats... okay

#

thats not bad

wanton dawn
#

That's fine cuz it is not "good" anyway

frank ether
#

probably doesnt work the same way for the keystone though

ruby hull
#

so uh yeah

gleaming turtle
ruby hull
#

helbore just buffs itself with agile

placid portal
#

Bayonet stab kills most specials in one or 2 hit anyway

ruby hull
#

neato

frank ether
gleaming turtle
#

No offense to guys who like the Helbore, but it's bad. I get it. It's iconic, and neat, but it's also bad. We got so many bad weapons as a class.

placid portal
#

Even kills reapers in 6 stabs

ruby hull
#

i might actually take the mk2

south garnet
frank ether
#

Idk dude hb1-2 are pretty good

ruby hull
#

on a left tree build

placid portal
#

Mk3 needs proper adjustment

ruby hull
#

right tree

wanton dawn
#

Hb is not great this patch due to spawn change

ruby hull
#

mk2 on a right tree build

delicate moat
#

i hate that gunners and reapers still unleash bullet hose into you when you're literally in their face

frank ether
#

mk2 mows down gunners very fast

ruby hull
#

not right

south garnet
#

And no I'm not bothered by it at all, why would you suggest that

frank ether
#

probably the best this patch is mk2

placid portal
#

Mk1 is fun

acoustic wyvern
frank ether
#

I feel like mk1 is fast enough for me

#

and I'm a little slow at aligning shots anyways

placid portal
gleaming turtle
delicate moat
#

i want a m1 garand for vet

acoustic wyvern
#

is it the charge time thats mostly bothering you?

frank ether
#

thats odd

meager remnant
#

any thoughts on braced autoguns?

frank ether
#

charge is least of my worries with onslaught

#

without it, mk3 is slow I admit

gleaming turtle
frank ether
#

but I dont have onslaught on mine lmao

meager remnant
#

been trying them on aurics and bracing is a pain sometimes

acoustic wyvern
frank ether
placid portal
#

Braced having no weakpoint is a turn off for me

delicate moat
meager remnant
#

lmfao thats what ive been thinking

placid portal
#

Agreed

frank ether
#

braced is just executioner hipfire spam gun

#

executioner tightens your spread and recoil

meager remnant
#

I thought it was one of those git gud guns

frank ether
#

so its a big accuracy boost

placid portal
#

IAG is jus more reliable to ranged engagement

wanton dawn
#

Brauto lacks an easy build synergy

frank ether
#

take executioner and ignore the keystone I'd say

delicate moat
#

every time I run brauto there's always a sniper sitting 500m away

meager remnant
#

IKR?

frank ether
#

or maybe do a right build

#

if melee is your thing

ruby hull
#

wow

delicate moat
#

i wish i had a rock or something when i use brauto

wanton dawn
#

I aint taking exe stance

ruby hull
#

bayonet on mk2 is so nasty

frank ether
#

do stripped down brrauto, right tree gives you ranged damage immunity that way

placid portal
meager remnant
#

I mean brauto can be good with deadshot?

placid portal
#

So stronk

placid portal
meager remnant
#

but at that point take the infantry autogun

frank ether
placid portal
#

Waste stamina for 30% of shots to hit with 25% crit

ruby hull
meager remnant
#

hmm ok thanks for the insight

placid portal
#

Same stabby speed iirc

frank ether
#

I think bayonets are identical for mk1/2

#

its only 3 that gets the quirky one

#

but if you do the bromentum no jutsu it shall work

placid portal
#

Mk3 needs a fix

delicate moat
#

what if we just stuck a dueling sword on the mk3

placid portal
#

Animation is too choppy

wanton dawn
#

That's because mk3 is top heavy so cannot stabby stab efficiently loregryn

frank ether
placid portal
#

Exactly

#

The swing delay makes it harder to manage even 5 bruisers

#

While stabby can handle twice the enemies

frank ether
#

stabby is insane at dealing with scary stuff

#

like ragers, muties, dogs

placid portal
#

Yee

amber portal
#

wait what

#

im confused

placid portal
#

Helbore stab

amber portal
#

uh huh

sharp ember
#

turns out you can just stunlock a mauler with bayonet chest stabs

placid portal
#

Can 1 shot dog in head

frank ether
amber portal
#

ah

frank ether
#

mk3 doesnt

#

but thats ok

amber portal
#

actually does something now

frank ether
#

mk3 has the drag thing

placid portal
#

Bayonet is strong as heck now

gilded cobalt
#

I really hope hadron dosnt mess this up

placid portal
#

Woe

frank ether

that looks lovely

good luck

placid portal
gilded cobalt
#

this is it so far

ruby hull
#

oh noes, mk2 is really good with a right side tree

frank ether
gilded cobalt
#

its not a god roll, but I think its not gonna be bricked

sharp ember
placid portal
#

Fun shit

ruby hull
#

it deals like 3k dps coming out of stealth with the bayonet

placid portal
#

Lol

frank ether
#

you got two 2/4 good already, it will be good

sharp ember
gilded cobalt
#

I can keep manic on there, and then whatever I get for the other blessing can be swapped ofr surgical and ranged crit can be swapped to something else

placid portal
#

Mk2 need maniac for bps iirc

south garnet
#

There will still be no worse curse than prepatch limbshitter in the mk 5 axe supremacy

placid portal
#

Lol

frank ether
#

you want surgical on the other blessing

#

even tho mk2 shoots so fast

placid portal
#

Still nicr

frank ether
#

no better alternative

gilded cobalt
#

yep. I need to get some more plasteel

frank ether
#

no competition for crit blessings on hb

#

I dont think hbs get headhunter

placid portal
#

Nope

amber portal
#

surgical onslaugt im pretty sure

placid portal
#

Lucius has not many blessings

gilded cobalt
#

what do I want on hel bore, maniac + flak?

frank ether
#

yea so surgical it is

placid portal
gilded cobalt
#

Ill play around with it once I get the plasteel to get it to transcendant

ruby hull
#

jesus fucking christ

#

what is this bayonet made of

placid portal
#

Yep

amber portal
#

deez nuts

frank ether
placid portal
#

Tru

gilded cobalt
frank ether
#

because mk2 shoots so fast

#

if you want to go for crits

placid portal
#

Crit is always nice for helbore

delicate moat
#

gonna use gunker to farm plasteel for my vet

soft solstice
#

Is something up with weapon specialist and the tactical axe? Because I feel the attack speed is way higher than what I would expect from 25% attack speed

gilded cobalt
#

Yeah, then I can just use this forever really

#

keep it out the entire time and crit for free ammo

ruby hull
gilded cobalt
#

INFINITE AMMO

placid portal
#

Yep

#

Though mk2 barely uses ammo as well

frank ether
#

you'll lose ammo if you shoot fast but thats ok

#

with the amount you save it ends up not a problem

placid portal
#

2 to 4 ammo per shot

#

Not much

frank ether
#

shock trooper plus survivalist is too good

#

so what little you lose, ends up irrelevant

gleaming turtle
#

I will admit I've tried to make this thing work, but I can't figure it out. Maybe I am just using the wrong build, I don't know. I want to make it work so I can have a Steel Legion cosplay going on, but it just seems so finicky and I loathe the weapon swap.

#

The lack of punchthrough, the weapon swap, the charge time seeming almost server tick-rate dependent than anything else, I don't know.

frank ether
#

yeah I'd say I also wanted more pierce out of mk3 charged shots

#

all the helbores only pierce one I believe

placid portal
#

What stuff specifically?

gleaming turtle
#

Allies, lmao

placid portal
#

Lol

south garnet
#

It helps to think of arming your helbore as doing your taxes. It prepares you for another year of success, but you must be prepared for it and do it on time

gleaming turtle
#

It would fix so many weapons, or at least make them viable.

#

If you could shoot through your allies.

frank ether
gleaming turtle
#

It's the biggest reason why I throw my hands up in the air and just use the Plasma half the time despite being utterly burned out on it.

I don't think plasma is in need a nerf

#

Like, it's strong, but it ain't breaking the game

placid portal
#

It is doing what it's made to do

Maybe as some point in the future ,but there's way better things to buff or nerf atm

placid portal
#

wanton dawn
#

It is p12 bolter popularity wise

fast scaffold
#

I don't think it need needs one, I think it's more of an issue that it takes advantage of the skill tree very well

mystic belfry
#

Why is that an issue

fast scaffold
#

Because the current tree is very meh feeling (from what I've heard)

mystic belfry
#

left and right skill caps are currently annoying as you have to constantly think about them, at least a bit

ruby hull
#

aight so, im goin deep down the bayonet rabbit hole now, helbore can proc both sides of agile engagment, desperado affects bayonet damage, trench fighter, exploit weakness, serrated edge and onslaught all work on bayonet as well as all the out of stealth damage bonuses, and skirmisher stacks while using baynonet sprint attack

mystic belfry
#

They damn well better work well with at least some things

wanton dawn
#

Cuz p12 bolter had like 50% game presence with more than 50% wr on auric

placid portal
#

Vet tree is jumbled and we make do with what we get

ruby hull
#

i can get bayonet to 2 shot a rager with headshots without stealth

placid portal
#

Wat

fast scaffold
#

Because survivalist still exists imo, until they kill it and bury it deep we won't have a healthy class

placid portal
#

Scsb ragers or dreg

ruby hull
#

scab and dreg

mystic belfry
#

Survivlist is strong, but it ain't ruining the game

placid portal
#

how?

#

For 2 stab kill

wanton dawn
mystic belfry
#

Indeed, but it's mostly just enabling having too much ammo

#

That's very strong, but it's not ruining the game

fast scaffold
#

Its strong, but it's more unhealthy than it is busted in the traditional scoreboard sense

mystic belfry
#

I wouldn't mind it being gone, honestly. I don't even run it outside of my support builds

ebon umbra
#

just make it innate

ruby hull
# placid portal For 2 stab kill

one half of agile engagment, 5 stacks of skirmisher (maybe 3-4 will have to test), serrated edge, close quarters killzone, and desperado

ruby hull
#

i dont even have 25% maniac damage on the rifle yet

ruby hull
placid portal
#

Nicr

ruby hull
#

just headshots

placid portal
#

Amazing work

wanton dawn
#

Vet should have passive, NOT SHARED ammo regen talent

mystic belfry
#

Why

ruby hull
#

yeah the right side of the tree buffs the bayonet to absurd levels

mystic belfry
#

Guns should just be balance around the guns ammo pool

placid portal
#

Tbf team score is weird imo

fast scaffold
#

Vet would be better off if they instead just got more ammo out of map spawn ammo

dusk idol
#

you got more points for blocking enemy attacks

placid portal
#

That too

#

That is dumb

dusk idol
wanton dawn
#

You still have score on your scoreboard ?

fast scaffold
dusk idol
#

it's old scoreboard i never changed to ovens

placid portal
#

Lmao

dusk idol
#

or any of the others

mystic belfry
#

Vermintide had some interesting options, like crits regen ammo (Limited to deep in a tree, and only lasguns for some reason?) and headshots don't use ammo

#

Those are better options

wanton dawn
#

It can be removed on base

dusk idol
#

oh fr how do you do that?

wanton dawn

Yeah

Hallo everyone! I am fairly new to vet and in general don't look up a ton of builds so I was looking for some advice. Currently running a sort of (what I determine) to be a supportive carry vet build. I basically wanted to make a solid solo q build using the weapons I thought were cool and not neccesarily optimal. Is there anything incredibly op that I'm missing or anything super garbage that i'm specc'd into?

placid portal
#

Swap limb splitter for Uncanny

#

Really good shit

mystic belfry
#

... Supportive carry build with specialist and infilitrate?

acoustic wyvern
#

the top right node you can swap for the middle top

mystic belfry
#

Are you sure you said that right

junior needle
placid portal
flint garden
#

get rid of twinned blast and bottom left specialist node and get agile engagement

mystic belfry
#

Like fam

#

That's not support at all

#

That's the opposite of support

fast scaffold
#

If we get rid of survivalist and smoke grenade, what would you replace them with?

I guess maybe we just have different ideas of what support is!

honestly if you use the build you linked and you like it, and it works for your playstyle

#

go ahead

acoustic wyvern
mystic belfry
#

You can run infilitrate if you want, it's your preference. But it's not a support build

dusk idol
#

make sure it does what it wants you to do and that you have some way to cover your weaknesses whatever they may be

nocturne mulch
#

They asked for advice lol

mystic belfry
#

Problem is, if you tell us you want help with a support build, and then show one of the least supportive builds in the game, how do we give advice?

nocturne mulch

Shout is OP for support

mystic belfry

Do you want a support build, or an infiltrate build?

acoustic wyvern
south garnet
acoustic wyvern
#

it is support carry right?

nocturne mulch
#

How advise 🥲

mystic belfry
#

What significant support does it have besides ammo aura

acoustic wyvern
#

leave no one behind

mystic belfry
#

Significant

hollow solstice
acoustic wyvern
#

nades for cc or dmg

ruby hull
# placid portal Lol

wait a second, what if i added falter and no respite + 25% maniac damage to mk2

mystic belfry
#

Krak grenades are the least supportive nade

ruby hull
#

oh gods

#

the gears are turning

south garnet
acoustic wyvern
#

gives breathing room whn a wall of crusher or bulwarks appear

mystic belfry
#

This is what I would run for infiltrate, myself. If that helps

frank ether
#

its a solid tree I just wouldn't think of it as ''support'' in the traditional sense

ruby hull
#

this is your fault plush

#

you did this to me

frank ether
#

mm

ruby hull
#

i'm going all into making bayonet as busted as possible now

vague forge
#

If you play it it functions as a support build. Or the way I do. It's all about staggering and suppressing with shotgun, using infiltrate to do objectives or pick up downs or get to gunners. It's about moving where your team needs you and keeping the enemies from engaging you

frank ether
#

hdkgd, you rly dont have to

ruby hull
#

i can see it all fitting to gether

acoustic wyvern
#

i knew it you're using a shotty

vague forge
#

is it as supportive as other stuff? No of course not.

frank ether
#

but pair it with brutal momentum melee

nocturne mulch
ruby hull
#

explain

frank ether
#

it works on bayonet aswell

ruby hull
#

when the weapon isnt out

#

really

dusk idol
ruby hull
#

how.....interesting

frank ether
#

it makes bayonet gooderer

mystic belfry
#

If your main goal is keeping gun enemies off your allies, picking up smoke could help with that, and you have the nodes to switch to it without talent loss

dusk idol
#

you already have tactical reload and ammo regen node, so it's a tad redundant

south garnet
#

I support my team emotionally, from the next hab over, under my heated blanket

dusk idol
#

sorry, ammo from reserve*

nocturne mulch
#

I support my team from Hadron's bedroom

vague forge
ruby hull
# frank ether it makes bayonet gooderer

well going down the right side tree i can ive gotten it up to one and two shotting every regular sized enemy except mauler, before adding weapon blessings or perks

mystic belfry
#

Getting the second reload talent from the top of the tree would help with loading your fire shells faster

acoustic wyvern
dusk idol
ruby hull
#

if no respite and falter work on the bayonet the way i think it will, i might be able to make the bayonet into a horde clearing melee

placid portal
#

Speaking of which. Kantrarl incindiary + flechette witb weapon specialist for funny burn bleed combo?

dusk idol
#

also, @vague forge lose twinned blast as well

vague forge
dusk idol
#

if you lose twinned blast and your last keystone reload node you can pick up confirmed kill

#

or anything else you might like

vague forge
#

I went for agile engagement

dusk idol
#

that's good

vague forge
#

since I swap a lot

#

but I'll keep messing with it.

gilded cobalt
#

the final blessing on it ended up being no respite

dusk idol
#

yeah, play around, see what works for you

gilded cobalt
vague forge
gilded cobalt
#

I will get a tier 3 or 4 surgical to slap on there

#

and then thats gonna be good to roll

mystic belfry
#

Full bore is a pretty big one for shotgun

dusk idol
hollow solstice
placid portal
#

No respite is nice

#

Fullbore do be a mandatory set on agripinaa

#

Slug is super easy to proc it

dusk idol
acoustic wyvern
dusk idol
#

the spread compared to agri and lawbringer even while ads is huge

hollow solstice
dusk idol
#

your budget sniper rifle at home lmao

mystic belfry
#

Something like this would probably be a bit more effective

vague forge
#

What does that Kantrael offer over the others? I've just been using it cuz I like it, but I truly don't know if its the best gun for my needs

trim steppe
#

I just played with a Recon vet who used 14 small ammo, 8 large ammo, and 2 crates, and did the least damage of anyone. The absolute state of it lol

dusk idol
#

the kantrael is the best at close range

mystic belfry
#

Depends on how often you're using your nades though

dusk idol
#

within 5-6 meters of targets

placid portal
#

Kantrael hits hard with base shot ngl

acoustic wyvern
mystic belfry
#

Kantral does do fine at a distance with fire shells, if you're hitting a group

placid portal
#

Mid range is eh bc you lose dmg

mystic belfry
#

Kantreal altfire is a great way to soften incoming mixed hordes in particular

gilded cobalt
flint lake
#

I would build an alternative that didn't use survivalist in case you're ever in a group with another vet who's already got it.

vague forge
#

interesting, okay. I've mostly been using it at midrange to surpress and stagger

hollow solstice
midnight mortar
#

Ragers take at least 4-5 seconds per.

dusk idol
#

the lawbringer has many of the same breakpoints (or 1 bp higher) than the kantrael at close raange however

#

and decently surpasses it at all other ranges

acoustic wyvern
#

i like using the kantrael when enemies gets nearer then changing to melee then swapping again

dusk idol
#

but due to the ROF of the lawbringer the time to kill is actually pretty similar

dusk idol
#

however if you're using it at close to medium ranges and you're not picking up the extra ranged damage nodes on the left tree

#

stick to the kantrael

trim steppe
vague forge
#

yeah, I mostly use it as a softener. I get my 10 stacks with my shovel, then pop to the gun and fire off into the hoardes and then back to shovel

mystic belfry
#

Yeah, sadly recon basically just sits there as a downgrade from columnus

dusk idol
#

yeah, kantrael sounds like it'll serve you better

#

kantrael also has some soft target pen on primary shot

#

so still solid

vague forge
#

awesome!

#

This has all been very helpful

flint lake
mystic belfry
#

Good luck

acoustic wyvern
#

actually now i really wanna try the build i gave. hope it works

vague forge
#

I'll say, playing this style took me a little getting used to because it feels very differen't

#

but I really love it now

#

it's a lot of work but I always feel like I have tools

#

and I feel like I can handle almost anything the game throws at me unless I burn my resources irresponsibly

#

but if I play within my means it feels really good

#

just sucks to misposition without stealth or have a crusher hoard show up without nades etc

dusk idol
#

one of the limitations of relying on kraks, tbh

vague forge
#

yeah I agree.

dusk idol
#

unless you can get them stacked up on each other it'll blow a hole through one target and that's mostly it

vague forge
#

eh, stacking em isn't that hard I find? but it's map dependant

#

I feel like I can usually get 2

bronze trout
#

yeah I like grenades for getting some breathing room more then anything else

acoustic wyvern
#

you should try shreddder nades with bleed upgrades

vague forge
#

or at least kill 1 and knock two down

placid portal
#

Shredda nades my beloved

mystic belfry
#

Yeah, I've mostly stopped using kraks because I don't like relying on them for my armor/boss damage

acoustic wyvern
#

it'll destroy ragers in two throws

mystic belfry
#

as You're up shit creek when you

#

re dry

dusk idol
#

me throwing a krak out just for the plasma vet to kill all the armoured targets anyway 😔

placid portal
#

Lol

#

Thats why I use shredda over krak

dusk idol
#

same

mystic belfry
#

Right now my favorite setups is probably ps6+las pistol and shovel+plasma

dusk idol
#

just having a caxe means i don't need kraks and i love it

bronze trout
#

I switched to shredders and my 1a las for almost everything and my cara+unyielding antax for the heavies

placid portal
#

Antax really bops vs crushers

#

Esp with shred blessing

#

1 crit is 4 hit kill

mystic belfry
#

All the combat axes do tbh

placid portal
#

Combat axes are fun

dusk idol
#

i think if you have headtaker decimator it's also a 4 hit kill

acoustic wyvern
placid portal
#

Rp as axe maniac kek

dusk idol
#

f to hordes though it kinda hurts

placid portal
dusk idol
#

yeah hordes are much better with bm

bronze trout
#

Yeah brutal mom is all you need and it deals with hordes fine

mystic belfry
#

On a side note. Just as a general thing. I really wish weapon charges functioned on something besides just pressing the special button and dealing with the animation. For both power and reving

#

Like, they're good abilities, it just feels ick when you can't cancel out of them or something

radiant chasm
#

rev'ing is meant to be risk vs reward single target

mystic belfry
#

mhmm

placid portal
#

The one poxwalker infront of elite

radiant chasm
#

you can make it a little easier with attack speed boosts, but vet doesn't get a lot of melee attack speed

mystic belfry
#

Yeah, I'm not saying it's really bad how it exists, it just feels really weird

mellow lantern
#

whats an alternative for the Columnus autogun, been having with it in damnation but I need more oomph

#

but almost same fire-rate

placid portal
#

Agripinaa IAG

#

more oomph

mystic belfry
#

Columnus is basically the best of that weapon type

humble iron
#

hey anyone have advice for the On Overwatch penance

placid portal
#

Or graia for accuracy

mystic belfry
#

Which one is that

humble iron
#

don't take melee damage

placid portal
humble iron
#

kinda been struggling with it

mystic belfry
#

There's no specific thing. Block constantly

placid portal
#

And pick your fights vs ragers

mellow lantern
#

how is it

mystic belfry
#

Play the lowest dif it lets you

placid portal
#

Fun stuff imo

mystic belfry
#

It's a dumb penance tbh

#

Not as bad as soloing 90% of a boss with brain burst though

humble iron
#

oh so blocking works ok thank you

ruby hull
#

waaaait a second

placid portal
ruby hull
#

does bayonet trigger covering fire

#

oh gods

placid portal
#

Dont think so.

humble iron
ruby hull
#

i must test this

#

hmmmm

#

but how

placid portal
#

It has to be ranged kill no?

austere mica
#

I got on overwatch accidentally

placid portal
placid portal
ruby hull

Because people called them on the penances needing you to grief your team

So they locked them to private matches lmfao

Actually pants on head

placid portal
#

Didnt know it until I got it

austere mica
#

#

I saw the achivement pop up and actually had to stop for a second

placid portal
#

Me on damnation on overwatch clear

chilly cobalt
#

I got overwatch when it was no damage taken at all

chilly cobalt
#

I still remember that butt hurt when some random poxwalker spawned from below the floor and slapped me

placid portal
#

Lmao rip

chilly cobalt
#

Ruining my perfect run :(((

ruby hull
placid portal
#

Nice

#

You are the John darktide

zealous wyvern
#

John

placid portal
#

Now warhammer and cyberpunk genre mash would be funny

austere mica
#

necromunda

chilly cobalt
#

Warhammer is cyberpunk to a certain degree

zealous wyvern
#

necr

placid portal
#

Fair enough

#

That is very close

zealous wyvern
#

but without ai

#

and pcs

#

which is a big deal

chilly cobalt
#

Dataslates

zealous wyvern
#

c77 has a lot of technology 40k forbids

junior needle
#

cogitators are PC's aren't they?

chilly cobalt
#

They're computers in general

ruby hull
#

aight so, right side tree bayonet with a brutal momentum is a viable horde clear weapon

#

on damnation

zealous wyvern
#

they are computers 50 times the size

ruby hull
#

mk2 to be specific

zealous wyvern
#

its like saying a 60s office space is the same as a lounge with 3 tablets

chilly cobalt
#

And afaik there's no personal ones in the Warhammer 40.000(tm)
Because there's chances your cogitator could start another Age of Strive
Because AI and shit

zealous wyvern
#

still computers but you get my point

#

not very c77

chilly cobalt
zealous wyvern
#

oh?

#

nevermind that does sound more fitting

#

but it is probably rather restricted to techpriests

#

c77 any kid can walk outside and buy a brain chip

#

holo clothing, ai billboards etc

chilly cobalt
#

Chances are they're going to fry their brains tho

zealous wyvern
#

yeah if he buys cheap

inner canopy
#

what should i swap out with the last edit i have

zealous wyvern
#

that looks like a bad roll

arctic hull
#

Plasma gun is still unrivaled in auric maelstrom

zealous wyvern
#

stats good

#

but all traits bad except hh

chilly cobalt
#

Oh no,it's the digits man

inner canopy
#

i swapped HH, I was thinking swapping OS for uhhh

Crit damage on headshot,

zealous wyvern
#

i would roll opening salvo to surgical probably idk

inner canopy
#

weakspot crit damage +100% because

#

well

junior needle
inner canopy
#

crit sniper

zealous wyvern
#

What

#

I am surprised

#

ok

inner canopy
#

yeah you'd think

#

but no, infantry lasgun doesn't get surgical

junior needle
#

Only helbores out of the lasguns

#

They have headhunter instead

inner canopy
#

it'd be neat to have HH and surgical together but alas

junior needle
#

A lot of redundancy with that setup

zealous wyvern
#

both is redundant

#

but surgical beats headhunter on dmr guns

#

imo

inner canopy
#

i was thinking i'd swap the +stamina for +flak

zealous wyvern
#

i think i would go deadshot and keep stam

inner canopy
#

or the OS for deadly accurate

zealous wyvern
#

then swap yielding to flak

#

idk overall bad roll

#

probably would not invest much myself and just placehold it

inner canopy
#

good baseline stats, but i realy wish the +unielding was eitehr +flak or +unarmored

#

but the baseline stats fucking carry it too

#

like i can 1shot shooter trash

junior needle
#

You can get stamina from curios, but you can't get breakpoints from them

#

Just keep that in mind

zealous wyvern
#

true point

inner canopy
#

i was thinking yeah, swap stamina to +flak or or something

zealous wyvern
#

you got 4 meh things on this

#

rip

inner canopy
#

because it's not like doing more damage to ogryn reapers is bad

zealous wyvern
#

yeah that is true

mystic belfry
#

It's not bad, but it's also not very useful

#

I can't really think of a time when reapers ended a run for me

#

Maybe it's happened, but if so none come to mind

inner canopy
#

i wish it was unarmored so oi could more easily meme on dreg gunners

bronze trout
#

Reapers die to easily to ever be a threat to a vet

#

Pretty sure like 90% of my downs come from ragers

inner canopy
#

At least it's hypothetically useful on this instead of something like +carapace

#

🤔 I wonder if +elites or +specialists would work

marsh condor
#

Wait.

#

Speaking of, Elites apply to Ogryns too, right?

shut vector
#

i believe so yes

inner canopy
#

yeah

shut vector
#

at the very least reapers appy as elites (i think bulwark might be a special?)

inner canopy
#

if I went to +elites

marsh condor
#

Huh.

inner canopy
#

I think I could 1shot Dreg Gunners with no crit

#

You know what

#

I'll swap +stamina for +elite damage

#

And if that doesn't work I'll swap +elite to +flak

marsh condor
#

Would Stagger Blessings benefit the Catachan Devil Swords?

#

It's mostly because of the parry that I thought about it.

delicate moat
#

please, don't be carnival every single quickplay match

#

it gets old real fast with how long the map feels

ruby hull
#

aight so....... i want you to guess what melee weapon i used this match

inner canopy
#

HEFSCalliNEEDSLEEP me getting carnival again and again and again and again and[...]

mystic belfry
#

Yeah, they waited carnival crazy fucking high

#

It's new map, we fucking get it

marsh condor
#

A chain weapon? A knife? A potato sword?

inner canopy
#

they did the same thing with sychorax

mystic belfry
#

Bayonet

ruby hull
#

i just used the mk2 helbore bayonet the whole game

marsh condor
#

Oh yeah

ruby hull
#

i never used my axe

#

a single time

mystic belfry
shut vector
#

wasn't there meant to be 3 variants of carnival cause i only get the one

marsh condor
#

So knife, but better

acoustic wyvern
#

@vague forge the build works and its alot of fun

marsh condor
#

That's part 1

shut vector
#

ah

ruby hull
inner canopy
#

we'll get part 2 later

ruby hull
#

its silly

shut vector
#

can i see this funny bayonet build

marsh condor
#

Speaking of, about the new cosmetics

shut vector
#

( i do not even own an mk 2)

marsh condor
#

Is there a specific?

inner canopy
mystic belfry
#

Still hate that 15% of vets attack speed is in the capstone

marsh condor
inner canopy
#

2shot scab gunners (with no crits)

mystic belfry
#

For reference: An 80% damage mk 1 helbore bayonet

ruby hull
shut vector
#

i will give this a go and report back

mystic belfry
ruby hull
#

it doesnt need an antihorde mlee

#

it does anti horde melee

#

it kills like 7 things in a straight line every attack

#

it one shots all trash mobs with body shots

#

and ignores hitmass because of brutal momentum on the melee weapon

#

it also perma stuns maulers

#

and kills them in about 5 shots

mystic belfry
#

ngl, I didn't realize the bayonet thrust was this fast

junior grail
#

May be late but I counted, Vet tree literally has 3 unnecessary tax nodes it can remove to be the same min points to reach Keystone like other classes

junior grail
mystic belfry
#

I knew that on actually

ruby hull
#

im am just coming to vet for the first time after spending 800 hours breaking apart psyker

#

so many things to break with this skill tree

#

heheheehhaahahahaahaaha

junior grail
ruby hull
#

only using the bayonet as melee is gonna be tough for a bit

#

my brain cant quite multi task it just yet and still shoot

#

which is why i only killed like 50 enemies with ranged

mystic belfry
#

Maybe just claw sword for defense with it, then?

ruby hull
#

well i need the brutal momentum for that extra headshot damage and cleave

#

hmmmm

mystic belfry
#

Ah, you're using it to amp the bayonet?

ruby hull
#

yea

#

im pretty much ignoring my melee weapon

mystic belfry
#

Power sword 6 for reduced block cost? :v

#

And carapace

ruby hull
#

tru

marsh condor
#

But seriously

#

Are Stagger Blessings good enough for Catachan Swords (Parry)?

ruby hull
#

i really want to get falter and no respite and see what they do with bayonet

mystic belfry
#

I just run rampage and savage sweep

ruby hull
#

but i have litterally 0 blessings for helbore since i just came to vet

#

#pain

mystic belfry
#

What helbore are you using?

marsh condor
#

I have 3 Catachan Swords

ruby hull
#

for stab

#

otherwise i would use 3

marsh condor
#

The sweepy one is where Rampage and Savage Sweep went, leaving me with a choppy one and a Bowie one.

mystic belfry
#

3 have a shit stab or just slightly worse?

ruby hull
#

its a slash

#

vertical slash

marsh condor
#

And it's janky

mystic belfry
#

Ah

marsh condor
ruby hull
#

its not gonna get headshots on like 4 things at once

#

its also slower

marsh condor
#

Anyway, it's janky, it deals more damage to unarmored, and poorer against anything above Flak.

#

And I don't think it staggers Ragers as much.

placid portal
#

Barely

#

Imagine Helbore with Can Opener

And they'll recover before next hit as well

gilded cobalt

sire melk is selling this. Is this any good?
