basically yeah

#

horde weapons sometimes its flak unarmored

#

could also go cara instead of maniac on some things

opal loom
#

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?

uncut acorn
#

Anyone have an Update Recon Build?

wanton dawn
bitter turtle
#

You mean tree or blessings/perks

opal loom
#

oh

#

.....neat d('-')

#

What build are you guys running post patch 15?

bitter turtle
#

Blessings/perks is dumdum+firefrenzy and flaniac

opal loom
#

left side keystone looks....terrible ._.'

bitter turtle

#

Not even kidding, every vet gun is p good now except the recons

mystic belfry
bitter turtle
#

6d is just a shitty Columnus IAG now

mystic belfry
#

Machine pistol isn’t bad, but idk when I’d ever choose it

bitter turtle
#

It's still decent at least

opal loom
bitter turtle
#

Not like recon which is iag but with 1/3rd the maniac dmg

wanton dawn
opal loom
#

ah

bitter turtle
#

Longshot tends to max out only on targets you don't need it for like snipers

junior needle
bitter turtle
#

I only pick it on specific guns

opal loom
#

viscid marlin
#

Las pistol, ghost/infernus or ghost/dumdum?

uncut acorn
mystic belfry
#

Dumdum

viscid marlin
#

word

bitter turtle
#

I can give you a tree just tell me if you're willing to do deadshot

bright coyote
bitter turtle
#

It adds around 500 dps on crushers

uncut acorn
bitter turtle
#

But you chug stam

junior needle

nor blaze away

uncut acorn
wanton dawn

#

That's kind of unfortunate. There's decent blessings but they get outclassed so it's not worth running

viscid marlin
bright coyote
#

I'm definitely gonna start making builds with consistency as #1 priority yk

bitter turtle
#

this is my tree w/ deadshot

shell berry
junior needle
bitter turtle
#

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

shell berry
#

Gets hot and Blaze Away are the best, but that plasma gun is great, you can fuck with that. It fucks

junior grail
#

Anyone run builds other than VoC? Seems all my builds use it

viscid marlin
viscid marlin

#

Columnus with executioner stance and marksman is crazy strong

junior needle
uncut acorn
viscid marlin
wanton dawn
junior needle
#

Rending also counters damage falloff from range

#

And laspistol is a short range oriented weapon

#

So you have an added benefit there

mystic belfry
#

Fire dot is also not effected by range

junior grail
#

Laspistol... "short ranged"

junior needle
#

It has strong short-weak long damage falloff

#

Of course it's very stable and accurate

#

But it does get weaker at range

cerulean grail
#

Which one do you guys take for Plasma? Marksman’s Focus or Weapons Specialist?

wanton dawn
#

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

mystic belfry
#

Weapons specialist hands down

viscid marlin
#

^

#

no contest

wanton dawn
#

For plasma ? Focus target (soz)

velvet glen
junior needle
#

and 71-73% charge rate due to strange mechanics

bitter turtle
#

so yes you want onslaught

wanton dawn
junior needle
bitter turtle
#

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

junior needle
#

but headshotting like doubles your dps

velvet glen
#

What's the idea behind the deadshot spice with IAG? Aren't you immediately out of stamina?

bitter turtle
#

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

velvet glen
#

Would going for left keystone with a deadshot IAG be worth it?

bitter turtle
#

it might be to get both of the stamina delay removal nodes

#

to go deep left

#

i havent tried it though

opal loom
#

fire too OP, instant destruction of toughness Q_Q

bitter turtle
#

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

junior needle
#

At least if you aren't using a lasgun

bitter turtle
#

yeah

#

that shocktrooper/suppresion removal line sucks

junior grail
junior needle
#

You generally don't need suppression immunity on automatics

bitter turtle
#

and you still have to dip in middle just to get tac awareness too

junior needle
#

Very helpful for semi autos though

bitter turtle
#

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

mint raft
#

what to change here?
besides pox for carapace

mystic belfry
#

All of it, honestly

mellow grove
#

blessings are tanked hard lmao

mystic belfry
#

I guess melee damage for flak and bloodthirsty for anti-horde

#

Rampage or something

mellow grove
#

hadron strikes again

mystic belfry
#

It’ll be usable tbh

#

Just not what it could be

mint raft
#

After I do a few kg of coke I'll try my hand again at rolling for a better cs

placid portal
#

ngl melee vet builds feel off without that trench drill imo

mint raft
#

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

flint garden
#

rip 15% trench drill

bitter turtle
#

Don't you love the gear treadmill :^)

#

IDK why they nerfed that one

sharp ember
#

i'm surprised they haven't touched bloodthirsty all this time, with how little it brings despite the cool concept

bitter turtle
#

We didn't get the attack speed back anywhere

flint garden
#

weapon specialist technically

#

but like its not 100%

sharp ember
#

old trench was 20% right

bitter turtle
#

15

flint garden
#

yeah 15

sharp ember
#

oh so its 10 trench and 15 weapon specialist now

#

guessing they aren't additive

mint raft
#

I mean my current melee is this so it's an upgrade

frank ledge
#

80% mobility, unusuable

sharp ember
#

pretty solid, sunder has been popular lately for crusher hordes

idle carbon
#

for this, I could probably swap out supercharge for power cycler, and horde enemies for something like flak or maniac?

fathom edge
#

COME ON

idle carbon
#

I see nothing wrong with that PS

fathom edge
#

yet another failed craft

#

im farming for cycler 4

idle carbon
#

well, keep that sword in your back pocket, it's perfectly functional

fathom edge
#

ive been through 20+ PSs now and nothing

mint raft
#

I have no idea what blessings are good, but does cycler 4 change something?

fathom edge
#

+1 special charge

flint garden
#

2+ instead of 1

idle carbon
#

read the desc, you get extra energized strikes

#

PC4 basically triples your bang for buck per special use

fathom edge
#

going from 2 hits to 3 seems pretty huge

#

here i thought the 380 might finally be the one

#

alas

mint raft
#

ah I see

idle carbon
#

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

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

idle carbon
#

dunno the stats on those, but if they're decent, you do you

placid portal
#

stack 3 Stamina curios

mint raft
trail topaz
#

i have 1 +3 but i still almost got gonked

placid portal
#

So have 3

mint raft
#

thinking if I should canibalise it or not

trail topaz
#

man why didnt i think of that

idle carbon
#

you can always craft it up and see where it goes

placid portal
#

with 3 stam curios you get like 15 stamina bars

karmic musk
#

Seems most Vet migrated to Ogryn, considering how much they're spamming their guns nowadays

placid portal
#

columnus has 5 base but 6 with +1

fathom edge
#

mk7 stubber feels super good right now

flint garden
fathom edge
#

with the change they made, no longer burst fire, no fire delay

karmic musk
#

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 KEKW_ogryn

bitter turtle

I'm always ready to run if ppl pull a lot

#

I ain't making a stand and dying

karmic musk
#

No problem, I'm the Ogryn now with mah Power Sword

sharp ember
fathom edge
#

i want them all to be like that

bitter turtle
#

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 šŸ˜”

#

I put the two points into crit chance and +1 grenades for more shredder frags anyway

astral blade
#

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

wanton dawn
#

I cannot take seriously any scoreboard with score on whatthefuck_heresy

placid portal
#

Scoreboard don't tell alot of things tbh

empty heron
wanton dawn
placid portal

that is true

fathom edge
placid portal
#

you learn how you deal damage in game

idle carbon
bold sierra

normal sniveler behavior to make comments instead of being a gameplay god who only communicates through nodding their camera and crouch spam

That's brutal

ive put all my resources into it basically for 2 weeks now and still nothing

karmic musk

mystic belfry
#

Does your scoreboard track how much toughness you generate for allies

placid portal
idle carbon
#

such as? not trying to be critical, more curious

placid portal
#

the team score and defense specifically

#

your point modifier goes crazy when pressing buttons or blocking

idle carbon
#

oh, overproof has specifically said that his scoreboard isn't design with the base score system in mind

#

it's silly anyway

astral blade
#

still those to make shit worse my teammates to had the cheek to say i was dogshit

placid portal
#

Agreed

wanton dawn
#

All score should be deactivated anyway

placid portal
#

Overproof seems better

stone birch
#

scoreboards rob enjoyment from the game from me and I leave them off.

idle carbon
#

I just want raw numbers baby, and overproof gives it to me in spades

mystic belfry
#

I like to see how much damage I did and what I killed

bitter turtle
#

I think some defense stats can be relevant like stagger

mystic belfry
#

But it’s missing data like supporting the team

karmic musk
bitter turtle
#

But ya i turn most of it off

mystic belfry
#

Block is super relevant if you use parry

wanton dawn
bitter turtle
#

Is block relevant

astral blade
#

what should i keep on in terms of scoreboard?

idle carbon
bitter turtle
#

Wouldn't parry be counted under your dmg anyway

placid portal
bitter turtle
#

With your counterattack

#

I don't see how blocking supports team

placid portal
#

Agreed

bitter turtle
#

Staggering a ton does tho

mystic belfry
bitter turtle
#

Like if a psyker zaps everything that should be credited as doing something

#

Cause their dmg will be low

fathom edge
#

stagger

#

it counts as

karmic musk
#

We need brand-new L4D technology, num of times you saved a teammate from getting hit

idle carbon
#

funny, you should theoretically be able to track that since the game does report (on a local level anyway) the backstab sound

astral blade
#

seriously what should i disable in terms of scoreboard?

karmic musk
#

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

idle carbon
#

if you're using ovenproof anyway

karmic musk
mystic belfry
wanton dawn
#

Team score, defense score, offensive score, global score >>> in the trashbin. It is noise

mystic belfry
#

So it’s either in this game or easily addable to track that

astral blade
empty heron
astral blade
#

so what exactly should i turn off in terms of scoreboard?

#

since i now have ovenproof's scoreboard

idle carbon
#

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

gleaming turtle
idle carbon
#

you don't need to touch anything in the F4 menu for Overproof's Scoreboard

astral blade
#

still those hate people who talk shit and say that they are better make things worse it was a bloody console player

sharp epoch
#

why take ovenproof over regular one

idle carbon
#

it gives a lot more granular details on your damage

#

just compare the two

zealous wyvern
#

i miss the simple vt2 scoreboard

#

a little fun thing to look at

#

kills deaths blocked bosses

#

easy

midnight patrol
#

Hold on guys. I never knew that right tree reloaded shotguns so reliably too

placid portal
#

šŸ¹

#

yep

#

It's that easy

midnight patrol
#

I'm watching folk just go ham with PS's then shotgun like Doom Guy

placid portal
#

Buck shot bleed shotgun

midnight patrol
#

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.

placid portal
#

Good luck pal

midnight patrol
#

The question now is. Which ability to pair with? VoC sounds like it would make the most sense if I'm running melee Vet?

placid portal
#

Oh yea Flechette plus Crit Cleave blessing for best effect

idle carbon
#

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

placid portal
#

Manstopper + Flechette and make your shotgun a mini shredder grenade

marsh condor
#

Which Recon Lasgun is better

#

The Mk2 (green), the Mk2a (brown) or the Mk2d (cyan)?

midnight mortar
#

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.

wise hill
#

But if u want VoC it really isn’t a bad option

marsh condor
#

I just have the thought of Recon Lasguns with Shock Trooper

midnight mortar
#

You are 2 patches too late for that, sadly.

#

Patch 13 was when the Recons had their 3 weeks in the sun.

bitter turtle
#

I suggest the columnus iag if you want to play a similar gun that doesn't suck

idle carbon
bitter turtle
#

Shock trooper was nerfed for recons btw

marsh condor
#

Aw...

bitter turtle
#

Only refunds the first shot in a crit string

#

Columnus is pretty cheap to build to the point where it's workable tbh

marsh condor
#

Broke in Plasteel.

#

AND can't play so often.

bitter turtle
#

Ya I know, I mean an imperfect Columnus still works well

marsh condor
#

I'm still waiting for a shop where we can trade the Diamantine for Plasteel.

bitter turtle
#

It's not like knife or helbore where you must have x or y blessing or it's shit

astral blade
bitter turtle
#

10000 diamantine for 1 plasteel pls enjoy

junior needle
bitter turtle
#

At that point just delete diamantine lol

marsh condor
#

How good is Infernus?

astral blade
astral blade
junior needle
# marsh condor Which Recon Lasgun is better

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.

frank ledge
#

Version control, what's that

junior needle
# marsh condor How good is Infernus?

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.

0 plasteel NOOOO

marsh condor

6000+ Diamantine

midnight mortar

#

Btw whats the diff between mk 3 and mk 6 powersword

#

Ive been using mk 3, havent messed with 6 at all

hollow turtle
#

I tend to forget I own this...
Screw it.. Let's confuse the Xbox players..

bitter turtle
#

Have two recons with both

#

Paired with HH ofc

#

Similar gun stats for comparison as well

forest scaffold
#

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

junior needle
bitter turtle
#

Does mk3 have the charge block cancel stab thing

forest scaffold
#

I don't believe so

midnight mortar
forest scaffold
#

Think that was a mk6 specific change because fatshark "Intended it to be a finesse weapon"

bitter turtle
#

In meatgrinder

forest scaffold
#

While giving it the best alpha damage on a melee weapon in the game, thunder hammer aside

junior needle
bitter turtle
#

Even at close range I got better dps on crushers with inferno

forest scaffold
#

and gave it power cycler

bitter turtle
#

Crushers

forest scaffold
#

and gave it the best melee attack animations I've seen in a tide game

junior needle
# bitter turtle 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.

bitter turtle
#

And yeah then Idk the point of mk3 then

bold sierra
bitter turtle
#

The block stab is too gud

forest scaffold
#

if you're THAT worried about it

#

run power cycler 3 instead of PC4

bold sierra
#

oh ok

#

I will when I get it

forest scaffold
#

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

bitter turtle
#

The diagonal has decent enough coverage anyway

forest scaffold
#

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

bold sierra
#

kinda sucks then cause I got this roll on an mk 3

cerulean grail
#

So what do you guys take with Plasma gun? Exec/Shout/Infil? What Keystone? Marksman’s Focus or Weapons Specialist?

bold sierra
#

I like weapons specialist cause you can whip it out with the crit rate and dome a crusher

cerulean grail
#

Gotcha. What else?

#

Shout/Exec Stance?

bold sierra
#

I prefer shout

#

I don't really like executioner stance on slower firing weapons

#

except revolver

#

its funny on revolver

cerulean grail
#

Most Vet mains seem to prefer Shout on Plasma, Idk why

bold sierra
#

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

cerulean grail
#

Vet tree needs a pruning, now, to get rid of extra nodes, and roll those nodes INTO existing nodes

bold sierra
#

most the time when I need to shoot something with plasma I knowit's there

floral lichen
#

Great for spotting sniper with exes stance

bold sierra
#

yeah but when there's say, 4 snipers, I can't shoot those all at once with plasma (typically)

#

I can with revolver though

midnight mortar
bold sierra
#

that makes sense too

#

especially when you have dog waves

cerulean grail
floral lichen
#

I been switching to using the shotgun with the duckbill round instead of plasma

stark trench
#

I use exec on my plasma build, with shooters highlight, then it's just aim->delete all the snipers and gunners

bold sierra
floral lichen
#

Especially on the new map at the final.

#

Snipers are annoying on that part with all of the sight lines

What's the difference between mk3 and mk4 power swords?

grave cargo

Confirmed kill got dumpstered along with close quarters

#

It’s pretty sad

#

Two of his actually good talents getting turned into ā€œokā€ and then a lot of them just outright becoming bad like

Wew

Oh but it’s okay they improved fire team by 2%

frank ledge

twinned blast buff too

for all 4 users

grave cargo

I wouldn’t take that if it was 50%

delicate moat

For smokes it’s also never worth it

frank ledge

delicate moat
grave cargo
#

Fuck it I wouldn’t take it if it was 100%

#

It just doesn’t 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

hollow turtle
#

I've never used Covering Fire, but I'm guessing it must be good with the Autoguns.

grave cargo
#

Still not that good zealot and ogryn can just do that

#

It’s not very good no

delicate moat
midnight mortar
#

The mk3 has diagonal lights and horizontal heavies. The mk6 has horiztonal lights for the first two attacks and the heavies are diagonals.

hollow turtle
#

That's a shame. Would've wanted to give it a try.

delicate moat
#

isn't cover fire when teammates are within melee distance of enemy?

grave cargo
#

The buff doesn’t last very long and enemies need to be right next to your teammates

hollow turtle
#

Yeah. Basically you're blasting a horde while they're in melee.

grave cargo
#

15% sounds like a lot but in practice

delicate moat
#

at that point, wouldn't teammates do melee?

grave cargo
#

Your guy is at 100% toughness or 0%

#

If he’s in melee he’s either dying instantly to the 13 ragers on his ass or calmly killing poxwalkers

hollow turtle
#

Currently I'm just wondering what to spend this 1 spare point I have on.

grave cargo
#

It does something

#

So if you’re just trying to find a point go for it

grave cargo
#

But don’t build around it

hollow turtle
#

More on the ranged side. Exe stance

grave cargo
#

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

hollow turtle
#

If I had 3 points, I'd go for the Tactical Awareness

delicate moat
#

exec stance really needs threat reduction imo

hollow turtle
#

Get some infinite exe stance going in the darkness.

delicate moat
#

there's always at least one annoying poxwalker disturbing u from the back

hollow turtle
#

or some stupid trapper

delicate moat
#

through the stair case and a wall

bold sierra
#

what the fuck

hollow turtle
#

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.

bold sierra
#

yeah

#

wtf

hollow turtle
#

but dayum

bold sierra
#

imagine if it were just

#

not stopping power that were 40%

hollow turtle
#

Man that would be chef's kiss

delicate moat
hollow turtle
#

Guaranteed Hadron would fuck you up though.

bold sierra
#

true

delicate moat
#

gotta have that sweet sweet +1.5 stamina

hollow turtle
#

I have one point. I can either spend it on box upgrade, 30% reload on elite kill, or Leave no one behind.

bold sierra
#

box upgrade is nice

#

unless you have denthead teammates that pick up grimoires

#

then its not so nice

hollow turtle
#

Lol. Thankfully haven't run into those in a long time.

grave cargo
#

Leave no one behind is a great talent

hollow turtle
#

I have a general feeling that nobody in auric damnation picks those up.

grave cargo
#

But personally I like reload speed

#

No one picks up grims unless they’re leveling

hollow turtle
#

Same. With exe stance, reload speed might be better.

grave cargo
#

Fatshark seems to have forgotten that

hollow turtle
#

Who the hell is leveling in Auric.

bold sierra
#

why is the shop selling bangers but with the wrong stat allocations

grave cargo
#

That uh, grims were for farming weapons

#

Grims don’t do that now

#

So why the fuck would I ever want to pick one up

bold sierra
#

the funny

hollow turtle
#

Honestly, if an auric maelstrom guaranteed a 380, or if general auric missions with books guaranteed it, I would play those a lot more.

bold sierra
#

WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE SHOP

hollow turtle
#

That's a pretty good one.

I'm genuinely looking for a T4 Uncanny Strike for knife to make this my first ever 550.

It'll definitely work.

too bad it has carapace tho

delicate moat

i need exhausting takedown to not be bugged

acoustic wyvern

combat knife deals nice dmg to carapace heads

heavy of course

delicate moat

i want to take it on vraks tree

hollow turtle

Just need that bleed talent and it'll proc Mercy Kill 100%

royal monolith

dont you like when your 300 toughness dissapears in one bullet

hollow turtle

The carapace is the point. Thing will kill crushers and maulers easily.

I don't know what feels nicer tbh I'll give 6 a try again

oh yeah thats a yikes

I just realised, the talent for being almost ignored while stationary is going now, right?

midnight mortar
#

That camouflage talent has been gone for a long while.

hollow turtle
#

Yo.. Is this for real right now? I'm about to get this whole kit for free?

sour elbow
#

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

midnight mortar

That has to be a visual bug only.

hollow turtle
#

It sure don't look like one

midnight mortar
#

The fuck???

hollow turtle

Is there a giveaway I'm not aware of?

midnight mortar
#

That

#

has to be a mistake.

hollow turtle
#

Oh fook. Did FS accidentally make this a thing without realizing it?

#

Better take advantage.

midnight mortar
#

Well, keep those screenshots.

#

Can always demand a refund I guess.

sour elbow
#

checked on my end, it is not for me

midnight mortar

If it turns out to be a lie.

hollow turtle
#

wtf did I do

midnight mortar
#

Are you on gamepass or something?

#

Is it a regional thing?

try restarting your game

hollow turtle

Damn it FS

how dare you feed me lies

don't wanna accidentally get charged or something if ui error

hollow turtle
#

Lol what are they going to take? The 100 Aquilas I have left? XD

midnight mortar
#

Yeah it doesn't display that price for me. RIP.

sharp ember
#

like gacha games they put you into negative value megachingryn

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.

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

holy shit so I was playing the Melee Specialist maelstrom, and my teammates keep dying

midnight mortar
#

You'd be better off either relying on your melee for the carapace enemies.

languid escarp
#

I died once so I got to spectate and realize without me, the other three struggle with even 2 Crushers

midnight mortar
#

Not sure if the MGIa's bodyshot damage against maulers can bring them down faster than your melee.

languid escarp
#

it's not even damnation Crusher it's only heresy Crushers

hollow turtle
#

Depends on the weapon.

#

I tend to magdump into at least one, and potentially throw krak at another before even attempting to melee them.

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

old quail
#

field improv

bitter turtle
#

but

#

less crates now

#

feels badge

#

i thought about it though

old quail
#

there are still plenty of crates per match

#

i open p much every yellow box because im on that GRIND

bitter turtle
#

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

languid escarp
#

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

bitter turtle
#

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

scarlet smelt
#

Does base damage increase sources affect grenade damage or nah

bitter turtle
#

ya

#

if you mean like

#

CQKZ

#

or the infiltrate buff

scarlet smelt
#

stuff like

#

Redirect Fire, For The Emperor, Fire Team

#

(Middle tree vet)

bitter turtle
#

for the emperor i dont think so

#

its the ones that dont specify a dmg type

scarlet smelt
#

oh right that one's melee and ranged

bitter turtle
#

so redirect fire should

scarlet smelt
#

I see i see

bitter turtle
#

dn ya fire team should

#

fire team + infiltrate buff + CQKZ + middle keystone

#

maximum nade

#

oh

#

and skirmisher

scarlet smelt
#

krieger what are you doing

#

Krak.

bitter turtle
#

not enough points šŸ˜”

even if you drop overwatch and grenade regen

still cant reach redirect

truly sadge

clear lark
astral blade
#

Question just how toxic are players in darktide

bitter turtle
#

most people dont really talk

#

lol

clear lark
#

varies, ive been called the F slur in some lobbies, had wonderful care bears the other lobbies

gritty mural
#

you usually see the toxic people complain on steam or reddit

nimble sentinel
astral blade
#

Ok well Oceana servers may as well be a toxic waste dumping ground

old quail
#

ur experience will vary wildly depending on person

round pelican
#

Yeah I got over 300 hours and no experience comes to mind for me

old quail
#

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

patent slate
#

What’s the best build for veteran rn

bitter turtle
#

i can cuss you out right now if you'd like šŸ‘‰ šŸ‘ˆ

gritty mural
#

damnation lobbies rarely have toxicity at most you'll just have a irritated remark once a while

bitter turtle
patent slate
#

Uh

#

Plasma or column

bitter turtle
#

just dont pick recon

#

i can give you a colum tree

#

do you like deadshot

#

or no

#

that's the only optional part

patent slate
#

Yes

nimble sentinel
#

Rip recon

bitter turtle
#

last 2 points go wherever

#

desperado and recip are good if you melee a lot

#

extra crit + extra grenade are good too

patent slate
#

I heard marksman’s focus goes really good with any automatic gun

bitter turtle
#

i get more dmg going down middle tree, problem is left tree has a lot of shit talents after the first line

#

lol

old quail
#

i really like marksman's focus with agri shotgun

bitter turtle
#

like first line is great (deadshot, precision)

#

then you pick

astral blade
bitter turtle
#

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

old quail
#

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

bitter turtle
#

you can try it if and see if you prefer though

#

its nice on single shots

#

column definitely does not need it

astral blade
#

So yeah that’s that I guess

patent slate
#

Marksman’s focus seems whack though

bitter turtle
#

its not as bad as it sounds if you can aim

patent slate
#

Sometimes I headshot an enemy and I don’t get the stacks

bitter turtle
#

you dont get stacks on headshots

#

you get stacks on headshot kills

patent slate
#

Headshot kills

#

Sort

#

Sorry

bitter turtle
#

i recommend taking camo as a talent as well

#

er

astral blade
bitter turtle
#

as in camoflauge!

#

the talent

#

since standing still building stacks is nice

bitter turtle
#

i didnt mean it was generically terrible for all guns

#

and i realized it sounded like that

#

its just not useful for columnus

patent slate
#

Marksman’s 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

astral blade
bitter turtle
#

i get a pretty significant increase on vraks7 for marksman focus

empty heron
patent slate
#

I meant for the column

astral blade
#

Also yes I only use my melee as a last resort

bitter turtle
patent slate
#

For other guns yes but like

#

Still shitty

bitter turtle
#

its a very all purpose gun

pastel geode
#

Did the shop cycle this weekend? haven’t been able to hop on and check

frank ledge
#

Fellow veterans, my testing has shown something new

Smoke grenades are budget camo, enemies prioritize allies outside of the smoke, even melee ones

bitter turtle
#

all the iags are

empty heron
frank ledge
#

Just not as reliably as old camo or -90% threat

bitter turtle
#

anyway ya

patent slate
#

But like

bitter turtle
#

you have to sac too much to go marksman focus for column

#

you still want onslaught

#

so you still ned to dip right

dire harness
#

For that 90% accuracy and 0 ammo left achievement, is it true I can just unload my gun on an ally? :p

bitter turtle
#

and you still want tac awareness

#

so you still nee dto dip mid

patent slate
#

Imagine seeing a vet standing still to get stacks as the whole team is being slaughtered

empty heron
#

Because Marksman is actually pretty good with revolver. If you can hit your headshots. Potentially one-shots all enemies

bitter turtle
#

just not worth it

frank ledge
patent slate
#

I was thinking of using marksman with the Helbore lasguns

bitter turtle
#

ya that's a much better gun for it

astral blade
bitter turtle
#

i use marksman on v7

#

its great

frank ledge
#

It'S A DIFFICULTY TWEAK

empty heron
#

Just remember that you actually can move a lot

bitter turtle
#

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

astral blade
#

Smoke nades are fragging useless

empty heron
#

Yup

empty heron
frank ledge
#

SMoke grenades are mvp

visual kestrel
#

I’m not even using keystones on my plasma build staregryn

frank ledge
#

They don't allow enemy fire, outside of snipers

#

They prevent running attacks

#

they fuck dog and mutant ai

midnight mortar
#

Gunners and reapers can still fire into them. Not just snipers.

#

Gunners and reapers just won't track you.

frank ledge
astral blade
#

Common sense

frank ledge
empty heron
patent slate
#

Thank god marksman focus works with everything even poxwalkers

astral blade
patent slate
#

If I only got stacks from elites or something

#

Shittiest keystone

bitter turtle
#

ya

#

i always pop a pox if i need to keep it up

frank ledge
bitter turtle
#

and there's no elites

#

hoenstly

#

its usually barely an issue anyway

#

if there's no elites and only poxes

frank ledge
#

since only 8 players in the entire game spam ping into low visibility

bitter turtle
#

why are you even shooting

frank ledge
#

enemies majorly don't exist

bitter turtle
#

if its like a helbore lol

astral blade
#

BigJ your logic is flawed I hope you know this bro

bitter turtle
#

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 KEKW_ogryn

patent slate
#

If plasma could be used on deadshot

#

Man

bitter turtle
#

would be my guess

#

but just guessing

patent slate
#

I mean marksman would still work on plasma

bitter turtle
#

plasma has pretty good switch speed too

astral blade
patent slate
#

idk why people don’t use it with marksman actually

bitter turtle
#

require, no

#

i'd use it though

#

its very good vs crushers

empty heron
bitter turtle
#

ofc you can just run a melee to kill them

astral blade
bitter turtle
#

but its nice that your column has the option to kill them

#

fairly quickly too i might add

#

i get 2k dps on them

patent slate
#

I just run krak grenades with the grenade replenish talent for crushers

bitter turtle
#

even without deadshot

empty heron
# astral blade Fair

But you're good without for all other enemies? Haven't actually tested the difference

bitter turtle
#

it does insane maniac dmg so all those are dead within a second tbh

#

even mutants

astral blade
#

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

frank ledge
#

Why run columnus when you can run bolter

#

and vacuum ammo

#

lol

#

knife, bolter meta

#

the ammo vacuumer

patent slate
#

I’m being honest

#

Bolter kinda sucks dong

bitter turtle
astral blade
bitter turtle
#

its POSSIBLE yes, but you're talking like 1.3k vs 2k

frank ledge
astral blade
#

Bolter is jerky as fuck

bitter turtle
#

that isnt terrible, for reference that's around how fast recons kill them (and they're still decent at that)

#

just faster with onslaught

patent slate
#

This is the only game I’ve played where I go through 5 stages of rng

frank ledge
#

if u miss who cares

#

suppresion does the work and u get to melee them

#

then vacuum ammo

nimble sentinel
#

You can also take a lasgun and click their heads

vivid ocean
#

good plas?

patent slate
#

Yes actually

vivid ocean
#

or do i keep smacking brunt in the head

#

nice

patent slate
#

Thermal resistance makes the plas weaker tbh

astral blade
patent slate
#

Cause u always wanna manage at 50 heat

#

For that sweet 50% crit

astral blade
#

Ammo is precious as fuck it is

patent slate
bitter turtle
#

i never have a problem with ammo tbh

astral blade
#

And is the life blood for allot of us vets

bitter turtle
#

sometimes i even shoot my vraks into hordes for the heck of it

vivid ocean
#

always ammo aura

patent slate
vivid ocean
#

move it to mid, its practically a point tax

bitter turtle
#

ya

#

indirect shredder nade nerf

#

nah

#

swap it with movespeed aura

vivid ocean
#

remove smoke and let both nades link to mid

patent slate
#

It’s unfortunate cause that plasma gun now has to go through hadron

bitter turtle
#

now tax everyone who doesnt take smoke

vivid ocean
#

giga brain

bitter turtle
#

:^)

patent slate
#

You could get complete shit blessings

rain ocean
#

So has there been some testing done on the left side of the tree? Is it worth even going with the keystone?

bitter turtle
#

yes

#

depending on the gun

#

and your aim

rain ocean
astral blade
#

But like I said ammo is basically the life blood for allot of us vets

#

Is this statement wrong?

bitter turtle
patent slate
#

Aim does not matter if you shoot at a horde and aim above the shoulders

bitter turtle
#

you can keep the stacks up forever

frank ledge
sterile phoenix
#

Kinda wish the revolver was a bolt pistol, would feel less weird using it as a veteran.

frank ledge
#

Everyone else in your "team" will attempt to sabotage the success

rain ocean
#

I would imagine "sniper" weapons would be a good payoff if anything

bitter turtle
#

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

rain ocean
#

Aye i kinda been mostly using headshot weapons the most anyway

#

Except the uh, autogun, whatever it's called now

#

braced one

Never trust pubers

you have to roll with thepunches on pubs

have to go smoke nade or also cant take surv

wait how

plucky linden

how many targets revolver can penetrate through?

bitter turtle
#

do you like

#

sac 3 points or something

frank ledge
#

you could use grawrs distribution

bitter turtle
#

i assume you go hard down mid and you dont take onslaught

#

since you said you use key

astral blade
bitter turtle
#

and dont use onslaught

#

so it's rip 3 points

#

o

frank ledge
#

wait keystone

ya

you sac 3 points see

no helping it if you like invis i guess

why not VoC and combat ability curios?
