horde weapons sometimes its flak unarmored
could also go cara instead of maniac on some things
arrg fekking RNG.
I think I can work with this one. Need to keep rolling until I find a T4 Gets Hot to scavenge the blessing from.
Plasma gun is still uncharged -> charged shot to double tap bulwarks?
Any other tips/tricks I should know?
Anyone have an Update Recon Build?
You don't need to charge ever š¤·
You mean tree or blessings/perks
Blessings/perks is dumdum+firefrenzy and flaniac
left side keystone looks....terrible ._.'
Ya pick a new gun
Lol
Not even kidding, every vet gun is p good now except the recons
Itās actually very strong with the right setup, just annoying
6d is just a shitty Columnus IAG now
Machine pistol isnāt bad, but idk when Iād ever choose it
It's still decent at least
Thanks, but why no Longshot? Isn't it free damage?
Not like recon which is iag but with 1/3rd the maniac dmg
I don't pick anything unreliable
ah
Longshot tends to max out only on targets you don't need it for like snipers
61% stopping power
rip breakpoints
I only pick it on specific guns
How high do I need it for the breakpoint/
.-.
Las pistol, ghost/infernus or ghost/dumdum?
I've been stuck on my col iag so if you have a better build for it I'm willing to try it.
Dumdum
word
Like tree?
Gloryhunter is good
I can give you a tree just tell me if you're willing to do deadshot
wont lie ive been using the build u posted and wow it fucks. i was using weapons specialist instead of focus target till i copied u
It adds around 500 dps on crushers
Yeah cause I'm not editing mine beyond upgrading dumdum to 3 or 4 when I get it.
But you chug stam
Dumdum is more value for regular mobs, but infernus can be more value for bosses/ogryns. Infernus uniquely enables taking onslaught in the tree and freeing up the need to get other rending nodes.
is it worth missing out on Gets Hot though?
That's what I currently use on IAG so that works
I tried a weapon specialist version but the middle road feels way more consistent
That's kind of unfortunate. There's decent blessings but they get outclassed so it's not worth running
You don't normally take onslaught with it already?
I'm definitely gonna start making builds with consistency as #1 priority yk
this is my tree w/ deadshot
It's literally fine. Sidegrade imo. You trade the crit for survivability.
I haven't seen most take onslaught with a laspistol/infantry las, you normally kill things in 1-3 headshots.
you can drop duck n' dive and deadshot if you dont want to run it
desperado can be dropped if your melee doesnt need it as well
im using knife so i need it
Gets hot and Blaze Away are the best, but that plasma gun is great, you can fuck with that. It fucks
Anyone run builds other than VoC? Seems all my builds use it
Ah, i was more taking it for ragers/maulers/crushers but that works. Why does infernus enable it though? Do fire ticks proc onslaught or something that i dont know?
That is my exact tree for my mk1
Columnus with executioner stance and marksman is crazy strong
Yes, all dots hit and apply onslaught stacks
Will try it when home.
Ooo shit i didn't know that..
VoC is both the most meta and the most supportive one so ...š¤·
Rending also counters damage falloff from range
And laspistol is a short range oriented weapon
So you have an added benefit there
Fire dot is also not effected by range
Laspistol... "short ranged"
It has strong short-weak long damage falloff
Of course it's very stable and accurate
But it does get weaker at range
Which one do you guys take for Plasma? Marksmanās Focus or Weapons Specialist?
Taking exec stance is a huge survability sacrifice for not so great damage output. Infiltrate works but VoC is way cheaper point wise
Also better node around it
Weapons specialist hands down
For plasma ? Focus target (soz)
Ah thx, so rend stacking is the way to go? Never seem to be doing the nuts damage, with it the vets in my auric run seem to be doing, thought, that there was some hidden spice, that they might have been using^^
Don't use the gun myself, but I hear you want ideally at least 78/78 stopping power/damage
and 71-73% charge rate due to strange mechanics
columnus has a very fast fire rate
so yes you want onslaught
Hey guys I have an idea: let's call one keystone focus and the other keystone focus 
Aim for the head, IAG's have huge headshot damage
rending strikes is not strictly necessary but I pick it up just b/c I want other things on the mid tree
and yes
aim for heads
i have no problems take top dmg on all my runs usually with it
its a very all purpose gun so its suited for racking up high dmg on the scoreboard
What's the idea behind the deadshot spice with IAG? Aren't you immediately out of stamina?
with one +3 stamina curio perk it eats up around 60-70% stamina for me to drop a crusher
but
it does do like +500 dps during it lol
jumps from 2k to 2.5k
honestly
i dont like using it personally though
cause i fucking sprint everywhere
so i dont
i included it cause they said they wanted deadshot
its a huge dps gain if you do use it though
if you dont like it, just drop Deadshot + Duck and Dive
you dont really need duck and dive thene ither
its just to help fuel deadshot
Would going for left keystone with a deadshot IAG be worth it?
it might be to get both of the stamina delay removal nodes
to go deep left
i havent tried it though
fire too OP, instant destruction of toughness Q_Q
you can drop recip too, forgot to mention
i only take it for knife
might as well keep duck and dive then
i think its really good in general but it depends on how up close and personal you get in general I guess
Probably lose too much going down that tree compared to elsewhere, the stuff there isn't that great
At least if you aren't using a lasgun
There's an obvious difference. One makes you focus on your target while the other targets for you to focus. And one is marksman focus so kill the target where the other focus target has a marked man to kill.
...why do my ears smell of copper?
You generally don't need suppression immunity on automatics
and you still have to dip in middle just to get tac awareness too
Very helpful for semi autos though
which means you're stretche dacross all 3 trees
you can just barely make it to the keystone though
give it a try I guess
you can compare the dmg numbers to see if its worth
what to change here?
besides pox for carapace
All of it, honestly
blessings are tanked hard lmao
I guess melee damage for flak and bloodthirsty for anti-horde
Rampage or something
hadron strikes again
After I do a few kg of coke I'll try my hand again at rolling for a better cs
it was already an ordeal to find a decent base for the cs
tbf I'm not doing melee vet, it'll be CS+Recon/Kantrel mkIV
rip 15% trench drill
i'm surprised they haven't touched bloodthirsty all this time, with how little it brings despite the cool concept
We didn't get the attack speed back anywhere
old trench was 20% right
15
yeah 15
I mean my current melee is this so it's an upgrade
pretty solid, sunder has been popular lately for crusher hordes
for this, I could probably swap out supercharge for power cycler, and horde enemies for something like flak or maniac?
COME ON
I see nothing wrong with that PS
well, keep that sword in your back pocket, it's perfectly functional
ive been through 20+ PSs now and nothing
I have no idea what blessings are good, but does cycler 4 change something?
+1 special charge
2+ instead of 1
read the desc, you get extra energized strikes
PC4 basically triples your bang for buck per special use
going from 2 hits to 3 seems pretty huge
here i thought the 380 might finally be the one
alas
ah I see
that mk6 sword might not have PC4, but you can swap out PC3 for 4 and weak spot dmg for something else, and boom you have a decent sword
my god..
lol
what
gotta love EWC shop randoms
these are just the ones ive kept
man turns out columnus and deadshot dont mix all that well
atleast with my monke brain
dunno the stats on those, but if they're decent, you do you
hmmmm
i have 1 +3 but i still almost got gonked
thinking if I should canibalise it or not
man why didnt i think of that
you can always craft it up and see where it goes
Seems most Vet migrated to Ogryn, considering how much they're spamming their guns nowadays
columnus has 5 base but 6 with +1
intriguing
mk7 stubber feels super good right now
rashad betta so yeah
with the change they made, no longer burst fire, no fire delay
Gone are the days where an Ogryn in front meant you could fire freely
Just look up and see 5 bruisers infront of you, meanwhile the Ogryn reloading behind you 
No problem, I'm the Ogryn now with mah Power Sword
my favorite ogryn stubber, now even better
i want them all to be like that
You don't have to use it if you hate it
You still get 2k dps on carapace without it
It's good enough
I don't use it because monge brain holds down sprint key š
I put the two points into crit chance and +1 grenades for more shredder frags anyway
when ya better than the randoms in your mission and have the skills and scoreboard to back it up
but the randoms still talk shit
I cannot take seriously any scoreboard with score on 
Scoreboard don't tell alot of things tbh
buy pswords and upgrade the lowest rated ones to blue for blessing fishing. That way you save a lot of plasteel
The damage extension is great
that is true
yeah ive done about 10 to full, and another 15 or so to blues
you learn how you deal damage in game
y'all need overproof's scoreboard, it's great
just install it and turn off all the regular scoreboard stuff
https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/241
normal sniveler behavior to make comments instead of being a gameplay god who only communicates through nodding their camera and crouch spam
jesus. And still no cycler 4?
That's brutal
ive put all my resources into it basically for 2 weeks now and still nothing
Wheres my overall score? The one that tells me I'm better and you're shit? 
this looks allot better
I beg to differ
first scoreboard that isn't a total eyesore for me to view
Does your scoreboard track how much toughness you generate for allies
overboard does seem to have better detail but default definitely has some things that makes no sense
such as? not trying to be critical, more curious
the team score and defense specifically
your point modifier goes crazy when pressing buttons or blocking
oh, overproof has specifically said that his scoreboard isn't design with the base score system in mind
it's silly anyway
still those to make shit worse my teammates to had the cheek to say i was dogshit
Agreed
All score should be deactivated anyway
Overproof seems better
scoreboards rob enjoyment from the game from me and I leave them off.
I just want raw numbers baby, and overproof gives it to me in spades
I like to see how much damage I did and what I killed
I think some defense stats can be relevant like stagger
But itās missing data like supporting the team
So turn off everything in default score?
But ya i turn most of it off
Block is super relevant if you use parry

Is block relevant
what should i keep on in terms of scoreboard?
ya, I turned off all the stuff under Plugins except Forge Materials and Ammo (as Bullet Amount, because beeg number)
Wouldn't parry be counted under your dmg anyway
block somehow bumps score like crazy for some reason

Agreed
Staggering a ton does tho
Vermintide brain
Like if a psyker zaps everything that should be credited as doing something
Cause their dmg will be low
We need brand-new L4D technology, num of times you saved a teammate from getting hit
funny, you should theoretically be able to track that since the game does report (on a local level anyway) the backstab sound
seriously what should i disable in terms of scoreboard?
the score
wew classic, load into a disaster map, ult and naded everything to revive the Ogryn
Plot twist: He was busy typing some insult so he got netted after revive
if you're using ovenproof anyway

Vermintide has a blessing that activated when you save an ally
Team score, defense score, offensive score, global score >>> in the trashbin. It is noise
So itās either in this game or easily addable to track that
i am using it now
I did exactly this once. Except it was 2 trappers and the Ogryn got chain-netted 3 times. I raughed
so what exactly should i turn off in terms of scoreboard?
since i now have ovenproof's scoreboard
go to the F4 menu, go to regular Scoreboard, find the Plugins header, and turn everything off
personally I keep on Forge Materials and Ammo
Every game I see like this, I am so tempted to actually play my Psyker just to get the million kill penance out of the way
you don't need to touch anything in the F4 menu for Overproof's Scoreboard
still those hate people who talk shit and say that they are better make things worse it was a bloody console player
why take ovenproof over regular one
i miss the simple vt2 scoreboard
a little fun thing to look at
kills deaths blocked bosses
easy
Hold on guys. I never knew that right tree reloaded shotguns so reliably too
I'm watching folk just go ham with PS's then shotgun like Doom Guy
This would make my lawbringer even better than it is lol
Its perfect for saying 'no u' to Ragers, or Kickback levels horde clear when I need breathing room
Gotta build around this now.
The question now is. Which ability to pair with? VoC sounds like it would make the most sense if I'm running melee Vet?
Oh yea Flechette plus Crit Cleave blessing for best effect
it's kind of funny since IIRC manstopper just gives all your pellets infinite cleave
on a kantrael you slap them with both bleed and burn for extra fun on special crits
They're all pretty equally poor.
The MkVId has the highest fire rate.
All of them have greater than 8 seconds TTK against mutants at optimal ranges.
And 4-5 seconds TTK against ragers.
VoC is universally good. But melee vet would shine with infiltrate cause of all the close dmg buffs
But if u want VoC it really isnāt a bad option
I just have the thought of Recon Lasguns with Shock Trooper
You are 2 patches too late for that, sadly.
Patch 13 was when the Recons had their 3 weeks in the sun.
You pick a different gun
I suggest the columnus iag if you want to play a similar gun that doesn't suck
Currently broke.
you're a couple patches too late to take advantage of that with recon 7d shenanigans lol
Shock trooper was nerfed for recons btw
Aw...
Only refunds the first shot in a crit string
Columnus is pretty cheap to build to the point where it's workable tbh
Ya I know, I mean an imperfect Columnus still works well
I'm still waiting for a shop where we can trade the Diamantine for Plasteel.
It's not like knife or helbore where you must have x or y blessing or it's shit
this would be nice to have
10000 diamantine for 1 plasteel pls enjoy
(It was only the 6d, the 7a was still mediocre and the 2 was still dogshit with abysmal dps)
At that point just delete diamantine lol
How good is Infernus?
do not recommend using
once apon time it was good on the recon lasgun
They're all dogshit or low tier currently, I wouldn't advise wasting materials on crafting them. They're supposedly due for a rework down the line according to a playtester, but who knows when that will be.
If you absolutely cannot be persuaded otherwise, then the 6d is your best bet (it's not a 2d). It requires a particular setup and talent taxes, but you can get acceptable dps on it. However its baseline ammo usage is abysmal and the entire line suffered massively from multiple undocumented nerfs recently.
Headhunter blessing and either infernus or the bugged dumdum (if it gets fixed then don't use it). Perks are crit chance and an extra damage blessing of your choice. What's good on them now may not be what's good on the supposedly upcoming rework however.
2 and 7a (not 2a) just have too low dps to consider using them in high difficulty.
Version control, what's that
Generally very mediocre even in best use cases. Mostly ogryn/boss damage and onslaught (talent) stacking. Recons were the best users of it, but they're in the dumpster currently and had their crit strings gutted across the board. It's acceptable on laspistol but has less value on softer targets than on recons.
I wouldn't hold your breath on that one. That ratio is critical to Fatshark's estimated average player engagement numbers.
0 plasteel 
6000+ Diamantine
Archaeotech lost to the sands of time. A relic unknown to Fatshark's offices. š¤£
Btw whats the diff between mk 3 and mk 6 powersword
Ive been using mk 3, havent messed with 6 at all
I tend to forget I own this...
Screw it.. Let's confuse the Xbox players..
I still get better numbers with infernus over dumdum on recon fwiw
Have two recons with both
Paired with HH ofc
Similar gun stats for comparison as well
mk6 is better due to attack animations
that's it
Horizontal>Horizontal>Diagonal
Light 1>Light 2>Light 3
and Fatshark normalized the damage done between energized light attacks and heavy attacks
which made the mk3 power sword worse in every way to the mk6
If you're using it mostly at range then it's not surprising, it works like a gradual damage falloff the farther you are away from the target. Something about using a code for a zealot talent.
Infernus also stacks onslaught because burn so you know, more damage that way too.
Does mk3 have the charge block cancel stab thing
I don't believe so
Nah I tested at 5m away
Both can energize while blocking.
Think that was a mk6 specific change because fatshark "Intended it to be a finesse weapon"
In meatgrinder
While giving it the best alpha damage on a melee weapon in the game, thunder hammer aside
What target?
Even at close range I got better dps on crushers with inferno
and gave it power cycler
Crushers
Well yeah, you're stacking onslaught faster and crushers are a hard target with a larger health pool. Infernus excels against larger health pool enemies.
And yeah then Idk the point of mk3 then
can I do light light push light light to reset the horizontal attack chain? or is it diagonal after push too
The block stab is too gud
The diagonal just doesn't matter
if you're THAT worried about it
run power cycler 3 instead of PC4
But uh
just always use all three energized attacks
on the mk6 power sword
throwing away 800 damage because it isn't perfectly horizontal is stupid
The diagonal has decent enough coverage anyway
Yeah, same angle as the combat axes
which proc brutal momentum fine on the diagonal
I don't even find the stab combo particularly useful on the mk6, speaking of. Its neat on crushers, but that's about it.
Better served just spamming the blatantly overpowered energized light attacks
So what do you guys take with Plasma gun? Exec/Shout/Infil? What Keystone? Marksmanās Focus or Weapons Specialist?
I like weapons specialist cause you can whip it out with the crit rate and dome a crusher
I prefer shout
I don't really like executioner stance on slower firing weapons
except revolver
its funny on revolver
Most Vet mains seem to prefer Shout on Plasma, Idk why
main reason I would use exec stance is for the highlighted targets, to be honest
and I can't really shoot all those targets as fast as I'd like with plasma
Vet tree needs a pruning, now, to get rid of extra nodes, and roll those nodes INTO existing nodes
most the time when I need to shoot something with plasma I knowit's there
Great for spotting sniper with exes stance
yeah but when there's say, 4 snipers, I can't shoot those all at once with plasma (typically)
I can with revolver though
Likely because plasma doesn't let you clear away fodder all that quickly when they close into melee and shout gives you the breathing room to use plasma in a pinch.
Not to mention, going Weapons Specialist gives you enough of a melee viability to clear trash reliably. Alright Iām sold. I like Weapons Specialist myself and this just sold me even further
I been switching to using the shotgun with the duckbill round instead of plasma
I use exec on my plasma build, with shooters highlight, then it's just aim->delete all the snipers and gunners
yeah ranged specialist for the partial reload is really nice too
Especially on the new map at the final.
Snipers are annoying on that part with all of the sight lines
what mod is this?
Mk3 can charge while sprinting
for the drip
Among other things, it doesn't experience slowdown in the energizing animation while the mk6 does.
They should nerf psword
What's the difference between mk3 and mk4 power swords?
Confirmed kill got dumpstered along with close quarters
Itās pretty sad
Two of his actually good talents getting turned into āokā and then a lot of them just outright becoming bad like
Wew
Oh but itās okay they improved fire team by 2%

I wouldnāt take that if it was 50%
mk4 doesn't exist yet
Frags sorta get extra value but not much
in a very off angle

Fuck it I wouldnāt take it if it was 100%
It just doesnāt really do much
I guess it would bring back kraks to pre nerf boss damage just about
And basically mean 1 grenade clears a horde but eh
I've never used Covering Fire, but I'm guessing it must be good with the Autoguns.
i dont find cover fire very good
The mk3 has diagonal lights and horizontal heavies. The mk6 has horiztonal lights for the first two attacks and the heavies are diagonals.
That's a shame. Would've wanted to give it a try.
isn't cover fire when teammates are within melee distance of enemy?
The buff doesnāt last very long and enemies need to be right next to your teammates
Yeah. Basically you're blasting a horde while they're in melee.
15% sounds like a lot but in practice
at that point, wouldn't teammates do melee?
Your guy is at 100% toughness or 0%
If heās in melee heās either dying instantly to the 13 ragers on his ass or calmly killing poxwalkers
Currently I'm just wondering what to spend this 1 spare point I have on.
what tree u running?
But donāt build around it
More on the ranged side. Exe stance
Especially since the best option for protecting someone in melee is to hop in melee yourself
Throwing in shoves and cleaving enemies will help your teammate much more than magdumping poxwalkers
If I had 3 points, I'd go for the Tactical Awareness
exec stance really needs threat reduction imo
Get some infinite exe stance going in the darkness.
there's always at least one annoying poxwalker disturbing u from the back
or some stupid trapper
through the stair case and a wall
Well, we did have exe stance with low profile for a while, but FS decided we can't have that and implemented the tree system. Not that I'm complaining.
Yo wtf is that.
It's still shit due to the stopping power.
but dayum
Man that would be chef's kiss

Guaranteed Hadron would fuck you up though.
gotta have that sweet sweet +1.5 stamina
I have one point. I can either spend it on box upgrade, 30% reload on elite kill, or Leave no one behind.
box upgrade is nice
unless you have denthead teammates that pick up grimoires
then its not so nice
Lol. Thankfully haven't run into those in a long time.
Leave no one behind is a great talent
I have a general feeling that nobody in auric damnation picks those up.
Same. With exe stance, reload speed might be better.
Fatshark seems to have forgotten that
Who the hell is leveling in Auric.
why is the shop selling bangers but with the wrong stat allocations
That uh, grims were for farming weapons
Grims donāt do that now
So why the fuck would I ever want to pick one up
the funny
Honestly, if an auric maelstrom guaranteed a 380, or if general auric missions with books guaranteed it, I would play those a lot more.
That's a pretty good one.
Damn I need to hop on the shop if thatās what theyāre droppin
emprah's brick from AM still gives fucking 30x base rating weapons
like bruh
oh would you look at that. I've been looking for a moderately good HH
Collateral is honestly a fine dump stat on Bolter since itās a headshot weapon now anyways
and right below that HH
Eh. That's like my 4th triple 80 VIIa recon
That stability hurts
I have a 550 chainaxe and boys did i tried to make it work
Shopkeeper is trolling the shit out of me
I'm genuinely looking for a T4 Uncanny Strike for knife to make this my first ever 550.
It'll definitely work.
surely
too bad it has carapace tho
i need exhausting takedown to not be bugged
i want to take it on vraks tree
Just need that bleed talent and it'll proc Mercy Kill 100%
challenge just makes it fun
dont you like when your 300 toughness dissapears in one bullet
The carapace is the point. Thing will kill crushers and maulers easily.
even without carapace
MāsF keystone is busted as hell with the revolver.
it turns out not being able to see outside of your scope isn't good for survival

Slaughterer->BM but is Elite worth keeping or just change it to like maniac or carapace?
Lol this is why I stopped using the 4x scopes after the first time. (Which was a victory still, but sheesh)
yeah i won it, but yikes was it an experience
ive been having more crashes and disconnects than ever this patch
happens especially frequently to AM join attempts
been reading around on google and in the discussion
it doesn't seem like people know definitively it's opinion
just use whatever feels nice to u
im trying to roll a better mk3 despite having a very good mk6
I don't know what feels nicer tbh I'll give 6 a try again

From what I tested, it certainly felt apparent.
The distance traveled is measurable.
I was testing if the attack speeds were different in those videos, but ended up noticing the movement speed delays.
oh yeah thats a yikes
I just realised, the talent for being almost ignored while stationary is going now, right?
That camouflage talent has been gone for a long while.
Yo.. Is this for real right now? I'm about to get this whole kit for free?
I've not played for along while. Booo, I took that as a "well I don't care for the others, this will do I guess"
turned out to be the tits
It's a ploy by Tzeentch. Don't trust it.
That has to be a visual bug only.
The fuck???
Oh fook. Did FS accidentally make this a thing without realizing it?
Better take advantage.
checked on my end, it is not for me
If it turns out to be a lie.
wtf did I do
try restarting your game
don't wanna accidentally get charged or something if ui error
Lol what are they going to take? The 100 Aquilas I have left? XD
Yeah it doesn't display that price for me. RIP.
like gacha games they put you into negative value 
and if you don't pay it off in a timely manner you get banned
Don't give Tencent any more ideas for this game.
disclaimer: fatshark has not actually done this like gacha games have
Exilerating Takedown isn't fixed right?
I'm kind of running a run time dependent crash test so I can't leave game right now.
Hey there ! I want to do that 90% shooting accuracy 0 ammo left achievement, what weapon do you recommend to do it? Do I need to land all the pelets of a shotgun for accuracy?
get mates, do a private game, use a revolver
Plasma, revolver, and shotgun are what I've seen recommended. For shotguns, so long as one pellet lands it counts as a hit.
oh, and don't take the ammo aura ofc.
do u use DarkCache?
Thanks !
Lol yeah. Its probably that causing it.
I just went into mission and about to load back into mourningstar. Should fix it.
it shows a warning msg when u enter premium shop about "free" cosmetics
Ima disable caching on the prem shop
man, good blessing. Pity I'm a veteran with immunity to suppression
+1 talent point blessing
Just donāt get shot at
True. I'm hoping for better crits and maybe burning tbh for my 'ideal' gun.
burning help bypass armour on tougher enemies (fuck you maulers)
holy shit so I was playing the Melee Specialist maelstrom, and my teammates keep dying
You'd be better off either relying on your melee for the carapace enemies.
I died once so I got to spectate and realize without me, the other three struggle with even 2 Crushers
Not sure if the MGIa's bodyshot damage against maulers can bring them down faster than your melee.
it's not even damnation Crusher it's only heresy Crushers
Depends on the weapon.
I tend to magdump into at least one, and potentially throw krak at another before even attempting to melee them.
rage intensifies
this is my Ogryn rumbler build wet dream
it was my infiltrate vet nightmare š
is there a mod that show stagger "health"
You had my hopes up Brunt..
this is what really annoys me, one or two you can maybe handle with a heavy attack to stagger, but then it does... that.
š¤
last point for vraks7 tree where
need suggestions
feels like i need 2 points for anything worthwhile
i'd take exhilirating if it wasn't BUGGED
really need them to fix that shit
cause i'd drop CK if it wasn't BUGGED
field improv
there are still plenty of crates per match
i open p much every yellow box because im on that GRIND
kill zone actualyl lets me hit a breakpoint
on ragers
maniacs
to oneshot
if im at 10 stacks of focus LMAO
seems kinda unreliable though
to be at 10 AND also have no enemies in 8m
and only matters for rager maniacs
i guess improv is the only thing worth taking at all
god
fix exhilirating already
so i can drop CK and save 2 pts and get something else
i could literally get demo team if they fixed that shit
the build that works best for me currently is a no keystone plasma gun build that just take the best team support and defensive nodes
marksman is honestly pretty decent for headshot guns
a lot better than what it sounded like w/ everyone memeing on it
way better than mid tree imo
keystone I mean
Does base damage increase sources affect grenade damage or nah
oh right that one's melee and ranged
so redirect fire should
dn ya fire team should
fire team + infiltrate buff + CQKZ + middle keystone
maximum nade
oh
and skirmisher
not enough points š
tragics
even if you drop overwatch and grenade regen
still cant reach redirect
truly sadge
Question just how toxic are players in darktide
varies, ive been called the F slur in some lobbies, had wonderful care bears the other lobbies
you usually see the toxic people complain on steam or reddit
Itās warhammer 40k youāre gonna bump into some really sus people
Ok well Oceana servers may as well be a toxic waste dumping ground
ur experience will vary wildly depending on person
Yeah I got over 300 hours and no experience comes to mind for me
its generally not that toxic, having played over 1500 matches the amount that even talk in game besides a "gg" at the end is fairly uncommon
Whatās the best build for veteran rn
i can cuss you out right now if you'd like š š
damnation lobbies rarely have toxicity at most you'll just have a irritated remark once a while
pick a gun first
just dont pick recon
i can give you a colum tree
do you like deadshot
or no
that's the only optional part
Yes
Rip recon
last 2 points go wherever
desperado and recip are good if you melee a lot
extra crit + extra grenade are good too
I heard marksmanās focus goes really good with any automatic gun
i get more dmg going down middle tree, problem is left tree has a lot of shit talents after the first line
lol
i really like marksman's focus with agri shotgun
No need to cuss me out my guy Iām just curious thatās all because last game I had before I got off literally a fellow vet told the psyker to stop spamming lightening and than proceeded to be racist towards that psyker
wow suppression immunity (literally useless) cause shocktrooper lmao
then ammo + which is useless b/c column already has great economy
stam delay is nice I guess on the next line
elite dmg is good but at that point you had to pick 3 lines of crap
suppression immunity is nice because its fun (some weapons don't need it because they have very high in-built suppression resistance)
or literally cannot ads anyways
you can try it if and see if you prefer though
its nice on single shots
column definitely does not need it
So yeah thatās that I guess
Marksmanās focus seems whack though
its not as bad as it sounds if you can aim
Sometimes I headshot an enemy and I donāt get the stacks
What does the colum need?
suppression immunity I meant
i didnt mean it was generically terrible for all guns
and i realized it sounded like that
its just not useful for columnus
Marksmanās focus still sounds dogwater
And if you do the math
Your only getting like 20 extra damage
But u have to be a csgo awper
The colum is a CQB to mid range gun anyways
i get a pretty significant increase on vraks7 for marksman focus
Very curious about that math
I meant for the column
Also yes I only use my melee as a last resort
it can do well enough at long range if you crouch
its a very all purpose gun
Did the shop cycle this weekend? havenāt been able to hop on and check
Fellow veterans, my testing has shown something new
Smoke grenades are budget camo, enemies prioritize allies outside of the smoke, even melee ones
all the iags are
ah, like per shot?
Just not as reliably as old camo or -90% threat
anyway ya
But like
Huh
you have to sac too much to go marksman focus for column
you still want onslaught
so you still ned to dip right
For that 90% accuracy and 0 ammo left achievement, is it true I can just unload my gun on an ally? :p
Imagine seeing a vet standing still to get stacks as the whole team is being slaughtered
Because Marksman is actually pretty good with revolver. If you can hit your headshots. Potentially one-shots all enemies
just not worth it
Throw smoke
Stand still
Sacrifice your DR (because no points)
profit

I was thinking of using marksman with the Helbore lasguns
ya that's a much better gun for it
Thats not profit thatās stupidity
It'S A DIFFICULTY TWEAK
Just remember that you actually can move a lot
you lose stacks 1 at a time even when you do lose them
its hardly a big deal as long as you keep hitting headshots
Smoke nades are fragging useless
Yup
@delicate moat ^ Debate?
SMoke grenades are mvp
Iām not even using keystones on my plasma build 
They don't allow enemy fire, outside of snipers
They prevent running attacks
they fuck dog and mutant ai
Gunners and reapers can still fire into them. Not just snipers.
Gunners and reapers just won't track you.
Only if you agro them and walk into smoke
if the enemy is dead they canāt fire back
Common sense
If your team can't see the enemy, they don't exist
Seems like the consensus for most plasma bois. You can make it work with them but I hear most plasma runners run without
Thank god marksman focus works with everything even poxwalkers
They still do exist and smoke nades just fuck the team over dummy
no
if the enemy isn't marked, it doesn't exist
and there's no elites
hoenstly
its usually barely an issue anyway
if there's no elites and only poxes
since only 8 players in the entire game spam ping into low visibility
why are you even shooting
enemies majorly don't exist
if its like a helbore lol
BigJ your logic is flawed I hope you know this bro
and i dont use plasma much but im surprised it doesnt take keystones
might as well go deep into right since its not like you can deadshot 
I mean marksman would still work on plasma
plasma has pretty good switch speed too
The columnus doesnāt require onslaught
idk why people donāt use it with marksman actually
For crushers I'd say yes.
ofc you can just run a melee to kill them
Fair
but its nice that your column has the option to kill them
fairly quickly too i might add
i get 2k dps on them
I just run krak grenades with the grenade replenish talent for crushers
even without deadshot
But you're good without for all other enemies? Haven't actually tested the difference
yeah you should be fine on most other enemies
it does insane maniac dmg so all those are dead within a second tbh
even mutants
I mean my columnus can kill crushers quite easily as long as I have them marked and I have the middle keystone that gives a damage output

Why run columnus when you can run bolter
and vacuum ammo
lol
knife, bolter meta
the ammo vacuumer
from my test it does a lot less dps
Columnus can take out multiple gunners in a single mag
its POSSIBLE yes, but you're talking like 1.3k vs 2k
You can just spam bolter into gunners
Bolter is jerky as fuck
that isnt terrible, for reference that's around how fast recons kill them (and they're still decent at that)
just faster with onslaught
This is the only game Iāve played where I go through 5 stages of rng
if u miss who cares
suppresion does the work and u get to melee them
then vacuum ammo
You can also take a lasgun and click their heads
good plas?
Yes actually
Thermal resistance makes the plas weaker tbh
My guy no offence but players like yourself is the reason why I hate my fellow vets that use the Bolter
Ammo is precious as fuck it is
Thatās actually beautiful
i never have a problem with ammo tbh
And is the life blood for allot of us vets
i never have a problem with ammo because i dont miss often enough + ammo aura
always ammo aura
move it to mid, its practically a point tax
remove smoke and let both nades link to mid
Itās unfortunate cause that plasma gun now has to go through hadron
now tax everyone who doesnt take smoke
giga brain
:^)
You could get complete shit blessings
So has there been some testing done on the left side of the tree? Is it worth even going with the keystone?
Oh shit, tell me about it mate!
But like I said ammo is basically the life blood for allot of us vets
Is this statement wrong?
vraks 7 is really good with it
Aim does not matter if you shoot at a horde and aim above the shoulders
you can keep the stacks up forever
Currently ur playing solo in pubs
Kinda wish the revolver was a bolt pistol, would feel less weird using it as a veteran.
Everyone else in your "team" will attempt to sabotage the success
I would imagine "sniper" weapons would be a good payoff if anything
its also easy to keep up with automatic guns but I find it better to go right +mid for automatics
sniper guns dont benefit from right side much though yeah
so you can go deep left and then pick up tac awareness on mid
Aye i kinda been mostly using headshot weapons the most anyway
Except the uh, autogun, whatever it's called now
braced one
Yeah Iām a solo player I donāt have the luxury to run with a dedicated team because allot of players are I canāt trust to watch my back
you have to roll with thepunches on pubs
While in exe stance
just ran an AM where motherfuckers would run ahead pulling everything while i was trying to clean up the rear lamo
topped dmg in the end
Mhm hence why I take infiltration instead for pups

Since Iām a solo player
Infiltration enjoyers unite
infiltration would be used more if you werent taxed for it
have to go smoke nade or also cant take surv
unless you want to eat a shitton of points
sceaming at my incompetent pub teammates makes me tough and lets nurgle lie down out of sympathy, voice of command team rise up
u can untax it a bit by going krak, suffering 1 tax
Did this instead
so u can regen grenades
Yep
then you miss surv
and u don't have to deal with dogshit smoke
no wonder wolf runs out of ammo š
I love 5% movement speed
What I use survivalist
gotta get back to work but just reminding all you ammo hogs out there shock trooper and Kantrael MG IV still exist
wait how
how many targets revolver can penetrate through?
you could use grawrs distribution
i assume you go hard down mid and you dont take onslaught
since you said you use key
This is my tree for infiltration
wait keystone

RIP
why not VoC and combat ability curios?
I do like invis since I canāt trust pubs or LFG teammates
