Do people like HH or surgical vraks7
I mean if nobody else is doing it...
on 7 I prefer surgical
I will sometimes shoot plasma at shooters. But I took smoke on that build for a reason
based
There’s normally enough specials in AM/AD that I’m naturally clearing the horde while taking out specials/elites
vraks 7 doesnt get the massive 45 round mag like vraks 3
so I think surgical lets me make the most of its ammo
Ye makes sense
I had a 3 Ogryn 1 Vet match once, guess who's shooting at the shooters 
All of my ranged non special kills are simply collateral damage
Just sometimes I do have to pump like 10 rounds
Like on crusher/maulers
So I wasn't sure
yeah it goes from 0 to 100 its all down to crits
Not the vet, he can't see shit past the wall of meat
when its a crusher/mauler having surgical lets you just wait and hit crit after crit
Exe Stance and plasma ignores Ogryn, ez
with HH you'd have to spam
You don't need exe stance for that.
I see
I do, cuz I can't see shit without it
This. Ogryns drop to plasma without exec
Just tag
Tag shooters?
I'm always mashing that tag button
Let the ogryns tank the shooters with their infinite toughness
Lmao
gunners even in the dark can be identified by their green helmet glow
their eyes glow
Assuming theres three fucken ogryns
They tanking them on the floor you mean 
Green is only scab gooners but red for dreg gooners
You can normally just ignore the shooters with plasma tbh. Just use your sword and stick to cover

An ogryn can just tank five shooters by using heavy attacks on anything
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
And more than that, plus they get a ton back by just heavy attacking
Ye 20% 25% per heavy
I mean that'd be cool but it does replace your melee at that point, considering they havent done any dual wields it probably won't happen
Super tanky
Meanwhile, they had to nerf vet toughness generation
It could just take both slots
🤔
Lmao
but I just accept reality and I'm happy with bromentum slicing for now
I want a full kriegsman bayonet charge veteran
Personally… I’m ready for new weapons. Bolt pistol. Plas pistol. Hellgun.
Esp when they didnt fix exhil takedown
Why'd they have to nerf the instant heal so hard and not the heal over time
Fucken rude
we just need ET fixed
Hellgun without power pack
then it will be K
No cap mk1 bayonet stabbing is fucking insqne
Yea i need that fix ffs FS
Legit you kill faster stabbing certain enemies than shooting if close range
I wanna recreate Necromunda with dual plas pistol, no melee.
not the best roll but this was pretty good today
when you load into a damnation match screen and there's a level 17 and a level 18 zealot with stealth
Id say its very good

%10 elite is a respectable perk
8% elite however is despicable
oh btw for mg 1a, do you still want the classic flak/maniac perks?
Yep
Yes.
now if hadron would actually roll to those and not +1.5 stamina / 15% sprint efficiency / efficiency
What's the maximum number of bleed stacks?
Helbore with kantrael sights are goated ngl
16
16
Okay
I tested helbore with accratan and kantrael and kantrael offers better target acquisition from experience
So Veteran's Serrated Blade + Lacerate Blessings...means only 4 hits to reach that max stat?
Lacerate 4 gives 4 stacks
yeah
you're one point short of %20 ogryn/monstro 
ogryns and monstro gets targeted often, i'll leave it to the team if they're targeting it
the 2.5%? toughness replenishment node can go for 20% ogryn/monstro
I wish I could have the same confidence in my team lol
Sadge moment
If a chad ogryn with a club is soloing a boss then you're set

sorry wdym?
wait what exactly does that 2.5% toughness replenishment node do?
Having lvl 30 in my Auric maelstrom 💀💀
...
oh the keystone?
yeah
ogryn means more than %20 damage boost to me anyways
Thats.... whats thr lvl
since stunned boss = guaranteed weakspots
Fair
each stack of focus lets you regain toughness per kill
but thats assuming best case scenario
How good is Mercy Killer?
Wait wat
but it's "toughness replenishment" not toughness straight up no?
I thought it was toughness replenishment
idk what that description means at all
Not recover toughness
tbh its kinda vague but i let it think what it does for me atm and sort it out later
it hasnt failed me yet
Toughness replenishment affects mostly coherency regen speed and delay
Someone should damage themselves in the Psykarium and test it out
Toughness regen = coherence, toughness replen = from talents, blessings, etc
oh that'll work with confirmed kill nicely then. thats even better
Mob is the dump stat you only want good mob after you get good damage and pen
Damage = Damage. Base damage = Damage 
Thanks for naming everything distinctly so it's hard to get anything confused fatlard
I especially appreciate always prepared being distinguished from always prepared
obese megalodon
More like tasty soup tbh
I still dunno what impact does
bonk
And i dont care tbf
Stagger, that's it
Idk something something stagger
emotional damage
oh
i just discovered something
the bayonet DOES trigger the 25% damage buff from getting a melee or ranged kill and swapping weapons
Impact effects which teammates will congratulate you on your flashy looks and stylish Maneuvers during the match
which melee weapons have bromentum besides pswords? I think axes do
I want to make a list of what I can pair with hb3
Neato
free damage right there
It would still count as ranged weapon kill so you will have the damage bonus on your melee weapon
Wat
melee counts as melee kill
Sounds like it should be that way, which means it's a bug and will be removed soon
Then again, hb is not a great user of this node
So helbore melee can give itself 25% ranged dmg

you can have both 25% buffs at the same time with hellbore
it also triggers volley fire reset fyi
If killing marked
And? Test it in the Psyk with the loadout config mod and see if it meets the breakpoints you need, if it does - then there isn't a problem.
which technically gives it a 50% damage buff after a melee and ranged kill in succession
just not a great weapon in general for right tree
"Technically"
Helbore melee is still goatd
It doesnt need right tree though
bromentum helps hb3 bayonet more than the entire right tree does
Last time ppl tried the technically i was told that born leader is a good node
im still sad they made 15% melee speed to 10%
How tf you use mk3 helbore melee feels weak
bromentum works on bayonet
thats how
Wat
yup, just tested it, killing an enemy with a bayonet stab, and then killing one with a shot gives the 50% damage increase to helbore
Handcannon moment
Weapon with bromentum applies to helbore?
fatshark if you're reading
Bruuuuuuhhh

please dont take this away from me
LMAOOOO
They should remove the bayonet from helbore 3 and just make it whacking them with the heaviest rifle
helbore mk3 needs to be stabby
If you're not stabbing anyway
I'll suffer emotional damage if bromentum gets axed to nerf power sword or some shit
my helbore depends on it
Hell yea
Like how real bayonet training goes
That would make it actually fun so won't happen but would be wicked
what are the chances of getting power cycler
Yes
Only took me 900 hours
i was not expecting them to actually code the bayonet to trigger the melee half of agile engagement
im betting agile engagment doesnt even check for a weapon swap
wtf lmao
Lmaooo
That's fine cuz it is not "good" anyway
probably doesnt work the same way for the keystone though
so uh yeah
^
helbore just buffs itself with agile
Bayonet stab kills most specials in one or 2 hit anyway
neato
yeah its kind of a consolidation prize for having garbage swap speeds anyways but its nice
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.
Even kills reapers in 6 stabs
i might actually take the mk2
Too late, FS saw the post saying there's positive synergy, it will be gone next patch. Meanwhile exhilarating takedown will still be bugged
Idk dude hb1-2 are pretty good
on a left tree build
Mk3 needs proper adjustment
right tree
Hb is not great this patch due to spawn change
mk2 on a right tree build
i hate that gunners and reapers still unleash bullet hose into you when you're literally in their face
mk2 mows down gunners very fast
not right
And no I'm not bothered by it at all, why would you suggest that
probably the best this patch is mk2
Mk1 is fun
The great thing about the helbore is that its works super well against specials and elites. i get it, it might not be your playstyle and yea i agree that its not for me
I prefer it to mk2
I feel like mk1 is fast enough for me
and I'm a little slow at aligning shots anyways
Fair enough its carapace damage is same and mk2 shoots faster
Other guns do as well, without the terrible gimmick. The charge up right now, I can't explain it any other way, is just bad.
i want a m1 garand for vet
is it the charge time thats mostly bothering you?
thats odd
any thoughts on braced autoguns?
It's the combination of the charge time with the lack of punch through.
but I dont have onslaught on mine lmao
been trying them on aurics and bracing is a pain sometimes
i love it but it doesnt have as much weakspot dmg
bracing is a scam anyways, just run and hipfire
Braced having no weakpoint is a turn off for me
feels like braced isn't as good as infantry AGs this patch
lmfao thats what ive been thinking
Agreed
braced is just executioner hipfire spam gun
executioner tightens your spread and recoil
I thought it was one of those git gud guns
so its a big accuracy boost
IAG is jus more reliable to ranged engagement
Brauto lacks an easy build synergy
take executioner and ignore the keystone I'd say
every time I run brauto there's always a sniper sitting 500m away
IKR?
wow
i wish i had a rock or something when i use brauto
I aint taking exe stance
bayonet on mk2 is so nasty
do stripped down brrauto, right tree gives you ranged damage immunity that way
Mk1 and 2 is the same but yes
I mean brauto can be good with deadshot?
So stronk
Heck nah
but at that point take the infantry autogun
nah its too inaccurate for that
Waste stamina for 30% of shots to hit with 25% crit
the damage is the same but the attack speed feels faster
hmm ok thanks for the insight
Same stabby speed iirc
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
Mk3 needs a fix
what if we just stuck a dueling sword on the mk3
Animation is too choppy
That's because mk3 is top heavy so cannot stabby stab efficiently 
Just put bromentum into the base mk3, clean up animation a bit and you have yourself a lovely halberd
Exactly
The swing delay makes it harder to manage even 5 bruisers
While stabby can handle twice the enemies
Yee
Helbore stab
uh huh
turns out you can just stunlock a mauler with bayonet chest stabs
Can 1 shot dog in head
Oh
Thats cool
can two shot mutie which is absurdly good
ah
actually does something now
mk3 has the drag thing
Bayonet is strong as heck now
I really hope hadron dosnt mess this up
Woe
that looks lovely
hadron about to ruin your day
good luck
oh noes, mk2 is really good with a right side tree
saved
its not a god roll, but I think its not gonna be bricked
i've started charging dogs because of that and it's hilarious
Fun shit
it deals like 3k dps coming out of stealth with the bayonet
Lol
you got two 2/4 good already, it will be good
UNBRICKABLE
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
Mk2 need maniac for bps iirc
There will still be no worse curse than prepatch limbshitter in the mk 5 axe supremacy
Lol
Still nicr
no better alternative
yep. I need to get some more plasteel
Nope
surgical onslaugt im pretty sure
Lucius has not many blessings
what do I want on hel bore, maniac + flak?
yea so surgical it is
Elite is nice
Ill play around with it once I get the plasteel to get it to transcendant
Yep
you can actually leave the %4 crit in there if you want
oh really?
Crit is always nice for helbore
gonna use gunker to farm plasteel for my vet
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
Yeah, then I can just use this forever really
keep it out the entire time and crit for free ammo
with stealth it one shots a mutant on a headshot
INFINITE AMMO
you'll lose ammo if you shoot fast but thats ok
with the amount you save it ends up not a problem
shock trooper plus survivalist is too good
so what little you lose, ends up irrelevant
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.
maniac is good on mark 3, drops shots to kill by one on certain stuff
yeah I'd say I also wanted more pierce out of mk3 charged shots
all the helbores only pierce one I believe
What stuff specifically?
Allies, lmao
Lol
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
It would fix so many weapons, or at least make them viable.
If you could shoot through your allies.
just try mark 1 or 2 they shoot very fast and have a strong bayonet that can even do bayonet charge
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.
Mk3 has none of that xp
me > real asian robot
But feels good sniping with mk3
i am truly the better asian bot
W H 
They are goated with sauce
watching them play was sick
uh oh 2 stealth zealots
Rip
Tbh if they are worth their salt I say no offense to them
Until they get downed in 1 min from start

I only know him cuz somebody linked his ps nerf complaint video
every playstyle is fair game as long as they make it work
I think the stereotype is there cause a lot of the people just watch ''true solo'' videos and then try to be like that in a 4 man game lmao
Btw, i said about a month ago that plasma is going to get nerfed 
You'll never be a better team player though
Imagine needing only 1 game to realize that something is overtuned
Vets: Please fix ET
FS: ok
the monkey paw curls
Ie revolver
One thing I will say about the ps6, it's a fun boss weapon
I don't know what they nerf about plasma and make it feel good still
I don't think plasma is in need a nerf
Like, it's strong, but it ain't breaking the game
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
Vaporize heretics
It is p12 bolter popularity wise
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
Why is that an issue
Because the current tree is very meh feeling (from what I've heard)
left and right skill caps are currently annoying as you have to constantly think about them, at least a bit
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
They damn well better work well with at least some things
Cuz p12 bolter had like 50% game presence with more than 50% wr on auric
Vet tree is jumbled and we make do with what we get
i can get bayonet to 2 shot a rager with headshots without stealth
Wat
Because survivalist still exists imo, until they kill it and bury it deep we won't have a healthy class
Scsb ragers or dreg
scab and dreg
Survivlist is strong, but it ain't ruining the game
It is the single most wrapping talent node in the game
Indeed, but it's mostly just enabling having too much ammo
That's very strong, but it's not ruining the game
Its strong, but it's more unhealthy than it is busted in the traditional scoreboard sense
I wouldn't mind it being gone, honestly. I don't even run it outside of my support builds
just make it innate
one half of agile engagment, 5 stacks of skirmisher (maybe 3-4 will have to test), serrated edge, close quarters killzone, and desperado
Crit hits needed?
i dont even have 25% maniac damage on the rifle yet
no
Nicr
just headshots
Amazing work
Vet should have passive, NOT SHARED ammo regen talent
Why
yeah the right side of the tree buffs the bayonet to absurd levels
Guns should just be balance around the guns ammo pool
Tbf team score is weird imo
Vet would be better off if they instead just got more ammo out of map spawn ammo
defense score is weirder
you got more points for blocking enemy attacks

You still have score on your scoreboard ?
It is, if you press a button at the start of a match you have 400 vs 50 to everyone else
it's old scoreboard i never changed to ovens
Lmao
or any of the others
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
It can be removed on base
oh fr how do you do that?
Yeah
1 hit mutant with devil claw
Nice
Sir, use window alt R
I think getting more ammo from map pickups as an ability or increasing ammo reserves across the board for vet would be better than survivalist
It's GeForce Now
ngl crit bolter with no ammo consumption woulda gone hard
""""Flexibility""""".
infinite revolver 
God
Why not just a full free reload for each teammate per match ala killing floor, and passive regen for yourself
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?
... Supportive carry build with specialist and infilitrate?
the top right node you can swap for the middle top
Are you sure you said that right
support with stealth?
Lasguns are the iconic guardsman weapon, so I assume that's why they get special treatment
Shout instead of stealth
get rid of twinned blast and bottom left specialist node and get agile engagement
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!
Stop being mean. You all look like beginner to me 
-lvl 1500 vet
Peg leg and hand tremors
Lol
A bottle of amsec to stop the tremors would be better
Good call. Have found both of those pretty mediocre.
Let's not make the vet any more op OK?
if you can free a node from twinned blast, you can either take the +dmg up node or the toughness node for infil
You think this is worth the ride to orange or should I just earn bloodletter off it?
Right now my vet is sober, I need him to be normal!
Ditch it
Stealth is just a lot more versatile to me. I enjoy the style a great deal more.
If you need a chainsword to use at all, save it for the moment then ditch it when you get a better one
honestly if you use the build you linked and you like it, and it works for your playstyle
go ahead
also since you're using krak, get the dmg upgrade for grenades
You can run infilitrate if you want, it's your preference. But it's not a support build
make sure it does what it wants you to do and that you have some way to cover your weaknesses whatever they may be
They asked for advice lol
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?
Shout is OP for support
Do you want a support build, or an infiltrate build?
he has a different idea for support and has taken multiple support nodes. i think its great for him
Vet ult "get my head straight"
it is support carry right?
How advise 🥲
What significant support does it have besides ammo aura
leave no one behind
Significant
Infiltrate is a support ability lol
nades for cc or dmg
wait a second, what if i added falter and no respite + 25% maniac damage to mk2
Krak grenades are the least supportive nade
The back of your shirt is a good place to wipe boots on before leaving for the next battle
gives breathing room whn a wall of crusher or bulwarks appear
This is what I would run for infiltrate, myself. If that helps
its a solid tree I just wouldn't think of it as ''support'' in the traditional sense
mm
i'm going all into making bayonet as busted as possible now
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
hdkgd, you rly dont have to
i can see it all fitting to gether
i knew it you're using a shotty
is it as supportive as other stuff? No of course not.
but pair it with brutal momentum melee
That's nice, movespeed aura so they support faster!
it works on bayonet aswell
i would lose your reload node at your keystone and find somewhere else to put it, maybe field improv for some extra utility on your team
how.....interesting
it makes bayonet gooderer
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
you already have tactical reload and ammo regen node, so it's a tad redundant
I support my team emotionally, from the next hab over, under my heated blanket
sorry, ammo from reserve*
I support my team from Hadron's bedroom
this is what I have but open to suggestions. Again, this is just all based on my own experience and not a lot of... reseach. But this thing just stops people from doing anything and it rules.
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
Getting the second reload talent from the top of the tree would help with loading your fire shells faster
that shotty is a beauty, the blessings will have to change a bit
for what you're using it for i assume the kantrael is actually fine, since you're close range and that's where the kantrael operates best
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
Speaking of which. Kantrarl incindiary + flechette witb weapon specialist for funny burn bleed combo?
also, @vague forge lose twinned blast as well
Only reason to own one
yes! I made both these swaps.
if you lose twinned blast and your last keystone reload node you can pick up confirmed kill
or anything else you might like
I went for agile engagement
that's good
the final blessing on it ended up being no respite
yeah, play around, see what works for you
What would you swap?
I will get a tier 3 or 4 surgical to slap on there
and then thats gonna be good to roll
Full bore is a pretty big one for shotgun
i love no respite and full bore on my shotguns
Those blessings really shine on the agri
No respite is nice
Fullbore do be a mandatory set on agripinaa
Slug is super easy to proc it
they shine on every shotgun tbh, except the kantrael does become a lot less effective at even medium range compared to the others
this is for build tree, blessings i would go full bore and no respite
the spread compared to agri and lawbringer even while ads is huge
well yes, but since the agri is a precise round its basically a sniper shot with those blessings
your budget sniper rifle at home lmao
Something like this would probably be a bit more effective
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
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
the kantrael is the best at close range
Depends on how often you're using your nades though
within 5-6 meters of targets
Kantrael hits hard with base shot ngl
big dmg up close, nice shot for headshots mid range
Kantral does do fine at a distance with fire shells, if you're hitting a group
Mid range is eh bc you lose dmg
Kantreal altfire is a great way to soften incoming mixed hordes in particular
I just played a game of dammnation carnival with the helbore mark 2, grabbed no ammo the entire match, and only put my gun away to throw grenades.
We count our cartridges in my army
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.
interesting, okay. I've mostly been using it at midrange to surpress and stagger
Recon used to be my go to vet rifle, but then they absolutely ass fucked it into the ground
Its TTK on mutants at optimal range is greater than 8 seconds if I remember correctly. Absolutely insane.
Ragers take at least 4-5 seconds per.
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
i like using the kantrael when enemies gets nearer then changing to melee then swapping again
but due to the ROF of the lawbringer the time to kill is actually pretty similar
That is very sad
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
Its such a fun gun, that got about 3 days of finally being ok (not even amazing) before they decided to murder it
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
Yeah, sadly recon basically just sits there as a downgrade from columnus
yeah, kantrael sounds like it'll serve you better
kantrael also has some soft target pen on primary shot
so still solid
This is my melee meme
Good luck
actually now i really wanna try the build i gave. hope it works
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
one of the limitations of relying on kraks, tbh
yeah I agree.
unless you can get them stacked up on each other it'll blow a hole through one target and that's mostly it
eh, stacking em isn't that hard I find? but it's map dependant
I feel like I can usually get 2
yeah I like grenades for getting some breathing room more then anything else
you should try shreddder nades with bleed upgrades
or at least kill 1 and knock two down
Shredda nades my beloved
Yeah, I've mostly stopped using kraks because I don't like relying on them for my armor/boss damage
it'll destroy ragers in two throws
me throwing a krak out just for the plasma vet to kill all the armoured targets anyway 😔
same
Right now my favorite setups is probably ps6+las pistol and shovel+plasma
just having a caxe means i don't need kraks and i love it
I switched to shredders and my 1a las for almost everything and my cara+unyielding antax for the heavies
All the combat axes do tbh
Combat axes are fun
i think if you have headtaker decimator it's also a 4 hit kill
this is my beloved
Rp as axe maniac kek
f to hordes though it kinda hurts
A tad bearable with Brutal Momentum
yeah hordes are much better with bm
Yeah brutal mom is all you need and it deals with hordes fine
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
rev'ing is meant to be risk vs reward single target
mhmm
The one poxwalker infront of elite
you can make it a little easier with attack speed boosts, but vet doesn't get a lot of melee attack speed
Yeah, I'm not saying it's really bad how it exists, it just feels really weird
whats an alternative for the Columnus autogun, been having with it in damnation but I need more oomph
but almost same fire-rate
Columnus is basically the best of that weapon type
hey anyone have advice for the On Overwatch penance
Or graia for accuracy
<.<
Which one is that
don't take melee damage
Stay paranoid
kinda been struggling with it
There's no specific thing. Block constantly
And pick your fights vs ragers
Play the lowest dif it lets you
Fun stuff imo
It's a dumb penance tbh
Not as bad as soloing 90% of a boss with brain burst though
oh so blocking works ok thank you
waaaait a second
I like it it gets jumpy but puts down enemies fast wirh the first 5 shots
Dont think so.
honestly I think all the "requires private game" ones are stupid
It has to be ranged kill no?
I got on overwatch accidentally
Same
yes.

im going off fatshark logic here
Because people called them on the penances needing you to grief your team
it was on a sub 30 vet too
So they locked them to private matches lmfao
a 10% node 
Actually pants on head
On damnation run for me
Didnt know it until I got it
Me on damnation on overwatch clear
I got overwatch when it was no damage taken at all
I still remember that butt hurt when some random poxwalker spawned from below the floor and slapped me
Lmao rip
Ruining my perfect run :(((
i did it by accident with stealth vet at level 15 on a damnation mission, i wasnt even trying to go for it
John
Now warhammer and cyberpunk genre mash would be funny
necromunda
Warhammer is cyberpunk to a certain degree
necr
Dataslates
c77 has a lot of technology 40k forbids
cogitators are PC's aren't they?
They're computers in general
aight so, right side tree bayonet with a brutal momentum is a viable horde clear weapon
on damnation
they are computers 50 times the size
mk2 to be specific
its like saying a 60s office space is the same as a lounge with 3 tablets
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
They differ from large ones like administration uses to small ones like in tech priests brain
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
Chances are they're going to fry their brains tho
yeah if he buys cheap
what should i swap out with the last edit i have
that looks like a bad roll
Plasma gun is still unrivaled in auric maelstrom
Oh no,it's the digits man
i swapped HH, I was thinking swapping OS for uhhh
Crit damage on headshot,
i would roll opening salvo to surgical probably idk
infantry las doesn't have surgical
crit sniper
it'd be neat to have HH and surgical together but alas
A lot of redundancy with that setup
i was thinking i'd swap the +stamina for +flak
i think i would go deadshot and keep stam
or the OS for deadly accurate
then swap yielding to flak
idk overall bad roll
probably would not invest much myself and just placehold it
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
You can get stamina from curios, but you can't get breakpoints from them
Just keep that in mind
true point
i was thinking yeah, swap stamina to +flak or or something
because it's not like doing more damage to ogryn reapers is bad
yeah that is true
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
i wish it was unarmored so oi could more easily meme on dreg gunners
Reapers die to easily to ever be a threat to a vet
Pretty sure like 90% of my downs come from ragers
At least it's hypothetically useful on this instead of something like +carapace
🤔 I wonder if +elites or +specialists would work
i believe so yes
yeah
at the very least reapers appy as elites (i think bulwark might be a special?)
if I went to +elites
Huh.
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
Would Stagger Blessings benefit the Catachan Devil Swords?
It's mostly because of the parry that I thought about it.
please, don't be carnival every single quickplay match
it gets old real fast with how long the map feels
aight so....... i want you to guess what melee weapon i used this match
me getting carnival again and again and again and again and[...]
A chain weapon? A knife? A potato sword?
they did the same thing with sychorax
Bayonet
i just used the mk2 helbore bayonet the whole game
Oh yeah
wasn't there meant to be 3 variants of carnival cause i only get the one
So knife, but better
@vague forge the build works and its alot of fun
We only have 1 Carnival
That's part 1
ah
it just deletes hordes
we'll get part 2 later
its silly
can i see this funny bayonet build
Speaking of, about the new cosmetics
( i do not even own an mk 2)
Is there a specific?
swapped +stamina for +elites, now 1shot dreg gunners
Still hate that 15% of vets attack speed is in the capstone
Mk1 still works, since it's stabby too.
2shot scab gunners (with no crits)
For reference: An 80% damage mk 1 helbore bayonet
i have no perks or blessings on the mk2 yet, with this build, and a blue axe with brutal momentum 4
i will give this a go and report back
Wouldn't it pair better with an anti-horde melee?
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
ngl, I didn't realize the bayonet thrust was this fast
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
I just realised yesterday that you ran faster while holding the bayonet
I knew that on actually
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
:v
It looks so much more neat without them too
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
Maybe just claw sword for defense with it, then?
Ah, you're using it to amp the bayonet?
tru
i really want to get falter and no respite and see what they do with bayonet
I just run rampage and savage sweep
What helbore are you using?
I have 3 Catachan Swords
The sweepy one is where Rampage and Savage Sweep went, leaving me with a choppy one and a Bowie one.
3 have a shit stab or just slightly worse?
And it's janky
Ah
Diagonal
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.
Barely
Imagine Helbore with Can Opener
And they'll recover before next hit as well
sire melk is selling this. Is this any good?
Does Falter affect bayonet stabs?
You could salvage for surgical 4
We should get more bayonet weapons.
For Zealot, this time (optionally shared with Veteran and Psyker)
Does Deadshot affect ADS or the secondary ability?
ADS
Ty.
Bayonet shotgun that automaticaly fires a shell when you land a stab on something that stops it's cleave
or just add this fucking melee to the game
ok should i buy this for deadly accurate?
Killing floor 2 time
i forgot the melee was from killing floor
still CAN WE GET A SHOTGUN HAMMER FOR VETERAN LIKE ZEALOT GETS A ELECTRIC HAMMER
OGRYN GETS A ELECTRIC CLUB
COME ON
also uh, should i still buy this
We have a power sword
idk if i could transfer it to a columnus
ok but like, not as cool as a hammer that shoots shotgun rounds
Do you have any idea what I could do with a power sword on zealot
yes, but its still not as cool
Which one to upgrade?
I don't know if damage will matter that much but I'm tired of rolling and rolling with the shop
Mk 2 hammer is one of my favorite weapons
Uh, ouch. I guess #2, but I really dunno.
Sure
I want to murder the shop
what happen with shop
is the vrakos headhunter in the same family as the columnus?
it used to give me between 340-380 and now if I get anything above 330 it's a lucky roll
alright bayoney build goes crazy hard
take on a squad of ragers by poking them in the eye till they all fall over
Buy it to extract but its a HH autogun not Infantry Autogun, so you can't transfer to Columnus IAG
I swear damage shouldn't be one of those random stats on weapons
But the war was lost long ago

reroll ghost to surgical and weak spot to maniac/unarmoured and you have an decent-tier headhunter
I want to bleed
Melee build with bleed knfie will do the trick
i already traded it for the weakspot blessing, i dont like burst guns in this game
why are you bothering to get blessings on guns you dont like?
it's not transferrable between weapon types
is punishing salvo any good at all
homie got trolled
What's the build people are running with columns iag?
dont buy from melk unless it has a IV blessing
fucking finally brunt
What's the best blessings/perks for plasma gun? .-.

hey vets
