So I disabled in game music and blasted my own music during the AM run, it actually unironically helped because I stopped relying on sometimes-non-existent sound ques
I mean uhh
12% could mean the difference between 1 or 2 shots
Btw is it just me or are the sound ques in darktide kind of quiet
quiet is one thing, sometimes they don't fking exist
Damn I can understand you needing the sound because your vision is fked due to your nades anyways 
12% across 4 people is pretty good
With a 22% total buff...
Also true
Yeah so damage buffs matter for breakpoints, and with different guns you can test
Focus targets should be able to tag poxwalkers so I could get the buff easier and be more toxic
but I've tested it and it helps only for muties and gunners for plasma gun
They aren't quiet for me but I wish maulers made a little bit more noise for trying to cave my head in with a chainaxe
You could just have your squad of 4 vets shooting things forever
You're not gonna be a horrible failure as a vet if your longshot + killzone + exec stance + precision strikes plasma gun is missing 8% damage because you couldn't max your stacks or some shit
if I don't get full damage bonuses, I'm not firing 
Honestly yeah they need to be as loud as chaos knights or about as loud as crushers
I play better when I stop trying to rely on these sound ques and constantly check my rear being paranoid
Maulers also are very dark
Patience is a virtue, inshallah 
So they blend in
Same here brother
Sometimes I don't even see 3 maulers in front of me because they blend in so well
opinions on the weapons im using?
Chainsword good
Like a dark wall and combine that with crushers
I slightly question the autogun but if it works for you it works for you my man
And agile engagement, as great as it is, needs 1) a melee kill and 2) for you to pull out your weapon and benefit from the 25% in the next 5 seconds
Fatshark should give all enemies 1-shot protection for funnies
If you tag an enemy, that's it
what columnus is like one of the best IAGs
You just hit the tag button and don't need a kill for the enemy to take more damage
So fucking quiet
It's the IAG's in general im not massive on
I stopped complaining about quiet sound ques, and just started spinning
I also mainly ask if theres any pictures of the build its self, mainly for the right passives and stuff
they have voicelines, just not as noticeable

And by that I basically mean they do different things and honestly nothing prevents the player from getting agile engagement and the tag keystone
funny that it triggers on helbore bayonet apparently
Yeah they gotta be loud and distinct
Big if true
Since crusher overheads will ruin your day, maulers too
Melee helbore build when
is this good? im gonna swap the top blessing out for the longer you aim down sight the more crit you get
Actually I'll do it myself, bye
Damage boosts are effectively more ammunition because it takes fewer shots to kill things. This is one of the reason's breakpoints matter.
God emperor of mankind, I repeat my sins for my planet

Doing it now, it's fun!
I have all the melee helbore tech
mk3 seemingly garbage on first glance but it has some secret sauce to it
I just think I should hear like much louder revving from maulers. Like I know when a Scrake in Killing Floor is around. I turn around and I see the mauler club of 6 approaching from behind with a horde
True, but you can hit most breakpoints in the game with the right blessings/perks on the right weapon
Very true
Maulers and crushers are very dark and quiet
Especially since the ogryn keeps taking all of it
So its like a sin of game design

At least the vroom is audible
Though the flak armoured berserkers need like. Something.
Oh right because Rot helms at least in v2 had the common decency to have red and very distinct white bellies to denote a weak point
They're dark, they're fast, deal tons of damage, and are -Quiet-
Crushers have the excuse of being so huge they can't be mistaken. You can pick out maulers but they can blend in more
Maulers have... chain mail
They're pitch black 🥹
But no yeah
You right
Recently its been ragers ending my runs
When a horde is coming and you realize in 3m there's like 8+ ragers
^ Yep
They need to have a distinct shout compared to scab ragers
Yeah mfs
And make them louder or something
They have peril block too
Idk why it's so hard
Or just use lightning, idk
Psykers when they build no health or resistances or toughness
(Why I die doe)
Psykers when they can't stop shooting their unlimited ammo staff in melee
They have like one toughness resist talent 😹
Just a quick draft that goes for Rending and tag since you aint gonna use your melee
Vets and Psykers seem to get mulched by the berserkers a lot though
What should I do to this?
They are paper thin yeah
Look man sometimes if I'm blocking I'm not killing. The warp crayons taste too good
It's cause zealots have 300 hp and Ogryn got 500 hp while psyker and vet have 200
But like at least have the decency to use your melee in melee
Honestly I'm lucky to be running dclaw so I can parry and usually gurantee a kill
Specialist to maniac/unyeilding, shattering to blaze away/gloryhunter
also less damage resist on top of those
Nice smud, also ty blubbery
We are not asking you to clear wave, just block and crab dash away
Running more helbore with the bayonet stab staggering ragers outside their attack range is just too good
I do want the flak armored ragers to have a more easily identifiable visual though
They blend in too much
for wat
I won't lie, I'm a deflector psyker crutcher
Just the post of hp values
Truue
But at least I don't die to random poxes or blow myself up
For some reason I can manage the plasma gun just fine without going boom
I did do an embarrassing, blew up using my plasmagun
But I get a psyker staff
Hold R2 with melee spacebar sideway to safety
And I fucking explode
Yeah that's just general hp values, but that's the reason vet and psykers fold faster
You only blow up with charged shots which you use like 5x per mission
One time I watched League Finals while on call while doing Auric T5
I did learn recently to use left click more on plasmagun and wow
Yeah pmuch Boko
This slaps
It was lit, the team carried 
league 🤢
Imagine not having fun 😤
Right click charge up on plasgun for big armored bad guys like ogryn
Left click for everything else
Wait a minute, I watched the first opening of the LCS with the band playing while playing auric 5 with a friend

Become the 
its too stressful doing pvp thats why im here on pve
Btw. The charge shot on plasgun atm has INFINITE pierce through enemies
Just sayin
You can delete a hallway of enemy ogryn with that mofo
Iirc it also pierces walls
Or thin cover at least
But not walls
Yuhh
We dick measure by comparing damage instead
If lefts didn't autovent at max, plasma vets would blow up as often as psykers. Probably more lol
thanks bro, appreciate it, big help my dude
True, tbh
i guess i got the biggest 😤
Don't give FS ideas
they should stop autoventing
let the fireworks begin
The vent does have a cd
pls no
Also yeah pls no
late response as only just finished work but do you mean the one that was on the right?
I want to go guns blazing into a crowd and then blow myself up taking enemies with me
I have a hard enough time killing all the specials with my plasgun as is on damnation maelstrom
I dont need it to be harder
They should nerd all the gryns guns
In fact
Give all ogryns recon las
As the only option
It's only fair
I just want more weapon types on ogryn
That's just a multilaser buddy
That wouldn't be able to figure it out
Kickback only good option imho
Lascannon on ogryn??
No no give them the current recon las guns
No changes
vet needs heavy bolter, that's all there is to it

Granted, you lose health shooting it due to recoil
It's like plasma
But health
ill take it
Instantly non-viable
im ready for the emperor's peace
does +8% crit damage and +8% elite damage increase damage the same?
I dont know what the crit multipliers are, idk
Crit damage sucks
pretty sure elite damage will gives you buffer crits
i'll replace that one then.
Replace crit damage 100%, elite damage is somewhat useful
Yea elite damage is fine, hopefully you hit breakpoits at 8%
it's just my secondary revolver anyways to play around with close combat
when does vet get a minigun
trash and get a new one
Its probably fine
I do with point blank was higher
Not every revolver has to be perfect
Crit and weakpoint dmg are not very good
Good blessings
Should be 50%
Weak point is not ideal but ok on a cleave melee weapon since cleave swings target weak points now
I'd also settle for the 2.5 timer starting after weapon switch and it bel ike... 25%. Or al arger bonus on a single shot.
but it's definitely better than surgical when you're not sniping elites.
That's pretty sweet for weapon spec now that I'm thinking about it
Yup. You do give up reliability against crushers though which is not great. Buuut.... i'm thinking maybe killing a normal char in melee, swapping, and getting off two or three shots into their face might be worthwhile
i'm also finding it hard to reliably kill them regardless. In meatgrinder I can two shot them reliably but in a group, idiots stagger them repeatedly and it wastes ammo on headshot

Hello! What are some good perks and blessings to have for Power Sword VI? I know power cycler 4 and maybe maniac perk, but im not sure what else
Brutal Momentum and Carapace
so anyone else having fun with infiltrate and bolter?
Whats the god roll on the plasma gun btw? I heard its one of the weapons you dont put flak maniac on
well we play darktide for a reason
flak and maniac
gets hot blaze away
Here's my plasma
flak allows you to reach 1hit on scab shooters
As you might guess, flak and maniac UwU
Level 3 flak
Are you even trying
I haven't found a good place for the bolter after the new skills dropped. I guess melee vet would work best but, like, I could just play zealot.
Surgical is not a must in my opinion with handcannon to reliably kill crushers. I do use it on my revolver but it takes like one or two stacks to one shot a crusher. I think the replacement blessing your using is perfectly fine. Even more so cause your using your melee to kill most enemies and use revolver for elites/specalists etc.
Its literally the only thing that's not maxed rolled pls don't bully D:
Yeah im not sure how melee vet fits into things atm either
Anyone find a good use for it?
Compared to Zealot.
Considering its one of the strongest vet builds
i don't play zealot so i can't compare
Bolter is good to supplement melee nade vet
Fits pretty well
But is the 'strongest melee vet' build on par with the strongest zealot build?
Squishier but far higher damage
Hm, will check it out more then
The big caveat is build I think. On a focus hand cannon build, I think surgical is a must have because then you can reliably one-tap crushers and never have them stagger. But on a weapon switch build where you'll have to at least two tap them in the face... it's a lot iffier
infiltrate then magdump bolter into a wall of crushers then reloard the bolter by meleeing and switching weapon every now and then
I'm honestly surprised.
A good melee vet is also a very strong support due to their shout ult
Because, well. Zealot can one shot a Daemonhost.
Melee vet feels like it's carried by exclusive weapons ala PS6
That is some DAMAGE
If that's all you think of when thinking of Zealot, you should try playing a Zealot
is the Rashad exclusive to vets? 'cause thats probably our best weapon atm
TH builds are far too specialized for my taste
I do play one, though I don't build it for that.
Their melee ability is incredible though
No zels can use it too but zels don't have PS
Zealots don't have psword which is just pure glass cannon
then idk. Rashad is really, really strong. You just swing super fast and crit everything in the face for massive damage
Then you got Shout for that durability without having you be AFK
Yeah ps6 just carries the class pretty much and shout
run any other build you get overran pretty easily
Rashad is good but not as good damage-wise, depends on goal
I like Rashad because I dislike PS6
Dealing damage to a demonhost is probably the least useful niche in the entire game
It's a general analogy to their melee damage, as well
I hard disagree.
stealth chainsword
Nah
Stealth is detrimental to team so meh it just puts aggro on the others
infinite ammo lasgun
Top 2 vet melee weapons def are Rashad and PS6
A psword melee vet will definitely outdamage a zealot
Depends how you use it, for revives/mission completions it is VERY nice
I agree that bad use hurts the team
But psword is pure glass
So it'll eat shit if the vet doesn't kill quick 👀
but you can run really nice utility vet builds with it
kickback is the only god build left
True tho
assail and surge have died 😔
Nerf recon too because it'd be funny
Heh, maybe, we will see
I am hoping they bring more of the weapons up
That's in two patch
Like I want to see a helbore draw time buff
what is the rashad again
This patch they will increase head hitbox
Brb nerfing chainsword due to too much fun
combat axe
ah
this gud?
I want to use that gun and try it but it's just a clunkier plasgun imo
No power cycler, so unironically its not that good
But usable if wanted
if by good u mean bad
Yes
Anyone knows what does finesse boost from Marksman Focus do..? Whats 7.5% ranged finesse power :S?
not gud?
rate my ps
Crit and weakspot hit iirc
Finesse is crit damage and headshot damage
but I cannot trust to get everything on one drop, right?
I should buy it and fix it later
Ah, is it additive % or is it multiplicative, seems hard to keep the stacks up for marksman focus :S
Very good sword
armoury doesn't sell yellows anymore? how will I get powercicle lvl 4?
Just to make sure, you're not using a braced autogun with the marksmen keystone right?
Or get it in a drop
🤢
Using infantry atm
Gambling at Brunt's Armory. :)))))
Because someone said "marksmen keystone is bad" while simultaneously saying they don't go for headshots
gambling at brunt is best then?
What does braced auto gun do with marksman focus o.o?
what are melk bucks?
And consecrating. :)))
oh the mission ones
Shit lol, but there's been some braindead players using it then calling it bad lately
Weekly contract currency.
That's the point, almost nothing cause it's hard to get ranged heashot kills with it
I'm a bit sad i have played a lot, but on release and seems I can only buy one weapon
melbucks are hard to get
Ahh icic, yeah im mainly using infantry to get headshots
I still chuckle at the guy that said Marksmen was bad then also saying "I don't go for hesdshots"
Like bro what
Marksman Focus is best with Vraks series
Ps6 is only arguably the best melee, combat axes are machines
wmake sure you are visitng him when the contracts refresh
or you wont start counting towards the contracts
I can see it for helbore 3
Yeah lol
run headshot build
skip headshot
wtf this build sucks
can i encourage melk to give me more melk bucks, say, with a catachan perhaps
you kinda just.. dont have to headshot for most basic mobs with it
i dont have the aim skill to get consistent headshots sadly
Helbore doesn't need marksmen keystone anyways so its largely wasted
The reload speed of helbore is reasonable too
is this worth the sour milk money? I don't have one of these and I'd probably reroll the perks but not the blessings (cuz i dont have any others unlocked lmao)
More like you'll just accidentally headshot them spraying and praying
so blunt armory rng buying the same weapon again and again is my best source of yellows?
Only need it to one shot crushers with volley fire activation
sure why not
maybe recon will be buffed in future patches
Correct.
is recon Bad™ rn?
Are you into gold investments?
not ideal perks, not ideal blessings, a skip unless they let you disenchant in the future
Its multiplicative, BUT it depends on your gun's base finesse which we don't know lmao
but yea tldr if you play helbore you'll probably dislike marksman its just what it is
nah the best way to buy stuff is just buy anything with good rolls in the normal shop
and then just collect them
Laspistol is a reliable pick for marksmen keystone
Tbh I would love the headshot build a lot more if the game didn't run off of feckin ironsights mate
Cant see shit aiming down my vraks
MK12 and MG la are also good as well
Currently this is what i roll with
Buy weapons from Brunt's Armory -> Sell anything lower than a 360+ base rating -> Consecrate the weapons with a base rating of 360+ -> Have fun hoping the slot machine rewards you -> Run out of plasteel -> Run missions -> Repeat.
Vraks Headhunters like it too
vraks isnt as slow as helbore
Headhunter single shot is my fave headhunter
also vraks 3 stacks it so fast
But man
i like mg iv lowkey
cause you can hit 3 headshots in one burst lmao
Its so shit in a lot of situations
which one is the single shot headhunter again
guys save plasteel their coming out with red weapons
vraks vii
Iirc Columbus's finesse isn't that high
Everytime I see the 5 Carapace damage on the Columnus I chuckle
Columbus likely wants the Ping keystone instead
bro columbus with marksman is good
I have 90k in stock
i got 5k 😤
Doesn't mean it wouldn't be better
Tried it yesterday, can't keep more than 8 stacks consistently
Red weapons with 4 modifiers and max stats would be cool
was this announced?
4 changes, sorry*
Locked behind aquillas UwU
uwu
Lol no
do you guys like the agri iag
Lol nah we trolling
or the gaia iag

the mk1?
skill issue fr
Columbus is best imo just because dakka + good dps
Brrt
maybe take ur eyeball off the stackss then yoy xan aim!!!
like playing an smg lowkey
😔 i know, I should be playing Psyker instead
I run ping keystone too so I got rending to cover that low flak damage 💪💪💪
i am noob so have never player any class but vet
Guess I should try the columnus again
they need to add multipings
I just end up missing the armor damage so much
I'm testing swords, I'm used to play with munitorium mk III, but guides seems to reccomend cadia chainsword MK IV, which I find super slow and bad against big waves or munotrum MK VI, which has less range than MKIII, can I know what's you guys favourite and why? I know the blessings aren't right on my ingame screenshot
I run ping keystone so bring maximum annoyance to my teammates
I want to have manual executioner's stance
I like the pow sword, but yknow
what perks should i change
Don't worry I only have a Zealot because I was absolutely baffled on why Zealots were so shit that I made one so I could learn
it benefits a lot from landing weakspots so dont if ur a bodyshot god
i also unbind my F key so I can't use ult
I have concluded that Zealot players are indeed shit
Don't need it
Armored targets tho
mk vi ps6 you can cancel your powerup into a block sto speed it up
I pink that thing on an ogryn and it just eats my ammo
How do you use the chainsword?
like power sword, charge, swing
Very carefully
Lol
also chainsword gets stuck on minions
That'S not how you're supposed to use it
should i keep the level 2 maniac or should i swap +2 stam to something else
You're thinking chainaxe
Lots of berserkers atm this patch, so
Hordes is light spam, or heavy spam if you're safe
maniac damage
Huh?
Imo
Light spam for horde
Heavy rev for gunners/mutants
Light rev for everything else
Run if ragers/maulers/crushers
Rev for bleed stacking on bosses
You gotta charge
I was just asking to clarify 😉
for shovel do you guys do uncanny / decimator or is it fine to go skull crusher / decimator?
chainsword just didnt feel good for me
cause it's everythng but slow in horde clearing, especially with those blessings
And I'm taking that question literally. Cry about it.
can this be saved lol
also another problem with chainsaw compared to powersword, powersword swings horizontally, hitting more enemies
That seems needlessly agressive but ok
I really thought charged heavy swing on chainsword was good on hordes, doesn't it have a horizontal?
do u have pc4?
no, just pc3, i'd hold off on reblessing until pc4
This is incredible wtf. Roll second bless to PC and change sprint to carapace/maniac
I am needlessly aggressive 😤😤😤😤😤
oh ok, thanks, totally out of the loop, didn't know unyielding was desireable
anyone know which perk i should change? stam is kinda shit but maniac is super low
bonk the mudkip
do u guys prefer unyielding or maniac
Maniac
I prefer them both dead
Those MFs everywhere these days
hello can anyo ne pls tell me what key it is to use the bayonet ive been trying for ages lol
Krak grenade ogryns and shoot maniacs
special attack
you might have to rebind it
i think the default is some weird mouse button 5
Normally its middle mouse button
i can slap decimator 4 on so i just need a hand in deciding which one is decent to use
But yeah you may need to rebind it
i could change stam to special so i do 25 to maniacs still right?
cheers
Does only the Agrip BrAuto pierce enemies?
ok the more I use the chainsword the more I like it
Mutants are?
you guys reccomend it? cadia MK IV?
380 one
Yeah mutant is specialist
Huh! Learn something new every day
Dreg Rager is maniac, I’m pretty sure
I would have thought mutant was maniac
both flamers are maniacs
My brain expands
Both flamers, Ragers
Mutant is maniac
ragers are elites
Trapper
mutie is maniac
thank
What kind of armor do they have?
Elites don't spawn in waves, they form patrol groups (except recently they added gunners as spawnable I think but it's rare)
so do i up maniac to 25 or change stam to something else like elite or specialists
I use this every time I need to remember what's what
not sure
I think elites come from waves now
So if something pops out of the closet and not from you aggroing them from a platform
That's a specialist
both flamers, muties, scab trappers are maniacs
i think all the ragers are elites
I seen some come from already cleared flanks
dreg ragers are maniacs, at least according to my psychanum testing numbers when I shoot them in the head
Same but I think that's from faulty spawn locations
“Elite Armor”? I don’t think that’s a thing.
nah they changed stuffff
All ragers are elites, one is maniac and one is flak
the ones that you can see walking around the map are elites
elites spawn in waves now with the patrols thats why theres a billion ragers
Is there a reason why mauler headshots are considered flak damage with the plasma gun?
I mean in horde events they can spawn in waves
and specialists are the ones you hear a sound and think "oh shit"
But like normal walking i haven't seen them spawning from closets
oh yeah but things dont spawn in normal walking
Wait fr? If its happening they probably coded where every hit is the torso now kinda
should I upgrade this one? I guess penetration is not needed because I use the rew it for those, right?
Easiest way for me is that elites are exactly that, they shoot or melee you better, run faster, tankier, that's it. No gimmick.
Specialist all have gimmicks
Bad rating
Bulwark gimmick!!!?
Do not upgrade
thx
Only upgrade 360 item level or above
Dreg rager is maniac, scab rager is flak
It goes up to 380
Technically they are tankier 
this one damage is bad, right?
thanks for the tips
Not bad damage
Will we be getting hellguns for veterans soon?
Tfw you are so angry you becomes a separate armor type from unarmored
Damage not great. Otherwise it’s pretty good
know where is that info?
should I buy?
Buy it for deadly accurate sure
this one too
I wish falter worked on the bayonet 
If falter and unrelenting both worked on bayonet

this looks good
As for breakpoints, there are spreadsheets out there
Your welcome brother
Kill some heretics for me

Generally you want everything except mobility above 70% at least, but that's not mandatory, also.
how is it looking?
Dev strike aint that good honestly
Damage to elites is pretty solid
I'd roll 1 more time
oh dear
Thats good
yep
Conc that baby
Not bad, pretty good
Mauler heads are always Flak
You can rip off the blessings
They are carapace with everything else
Yeah
both of them?
I think there are better blessings out there personally, yes
Mauler bodies are flak, heads are carapace. Unless you use plasma then heads are flak too for some reason
Move speed one might be nifty to have
crushers are still carapace with plasma tho which is why im confused
#justFatSharkThings
It doesnt make sense
Hi all. I have a gun like this on my vet. It was a quiet lucky roll. Do you suggest to change anything? Maybe the fire frenzy? I have a gun focused executioneers stance build.
It realy shreds anything but I wonder that do I can make it even better?
I would advise but I don't know the blessings for the Columnus
I do recommend getting Maniac Damage % onto th eperk, swapping the +2 stam
The blessings seem good, but I am not sure if there are better ones available for that weapon or not
Fire Frenzy and Dumdum is what you want yeah
Nice
In that case you'd probably swap out the two perks for +25% damage to maniacs and either flak or unyielding, right?
Swap both perks and that's a near perfect Columnus to me
Flak and maniac
Yeah flak and maniac
“Flakiac”
Noice
Honestly that thing is better than my current Columnus 😔
Maniake
I'm a plasgun kinda guy, what ranged vet weapon should I try next?
what kind of build are you looking to use this in
So I have recommended many times over the benefits of shooting the horde, and upon looking at myself play the game I feel the need to clarify proper horde mag dumping etiquette
This is also entirely assuming you are running a crit-built lasgun and Shock Trooper
Chokepoint a distance away from the team: Excellent time to shoot the horde
Large waves coming from the same direction: Excellent time to shoot the horde
There's a horde in front of an Elite/Special: Excellent time to shoot the horde
The horde is in melee of your teammates and not yourself: Could be if they can't take care of it
When they're surrounding you and up in your face: Stop firing, and smack em
Always
Be
Constantly
DPSing
rEsponsibly
Lasgun mag dumper
Sounds fun
Whats the dump stat on columbus infantry autogun?
Mobility
Okeis ty, how important is stability?
Reasonably important on that weapon
the difference between 50% ammo and 80 is almost negligable
Stability should be close to 80
stat reforging when
don't skimp on Stability kids
Not on full auto weapons at least
Thanks
You can kinda get away with bad stability on single shooters
yeah u can but even then
But its still not ideal
0 dockets, no maidens
There is immense value in a non-stressful 9 to 5 that pays the bills and leaves a little bit more to spend on yours—OH right, guns
Yea I had a 60 stability columnus and then I got a 75 or 80 they have. It's such a night and day difference.
Doesnt matter if running shocktrooper + survivalist, but otherwise shooting into non mixed horde constantly is just trolling
no I want my gun to kick like a bolter and you can't stop me
you madman
this is good though yeah?
Just play volter then 
im too tired to keep rolling
I run my gak ammo efficient as hell so I can ease the pressure when the poxers get in melee range and take aim at the elites while I'm at it, it's saved qutie a few runs actually
when I started darktide I just promised myself I wouldn't bother with under 70 stability because I hate sway lol
Feels like it takes forever for the bolter to realign sights even with great stab
I... do. I play Bolter almost exclusively
I've played with a 100% stability bolter 😉
I'm not shooting at EVERY horde mind you, just the ones that need dying quickly
You see, you tap hipfire body and the recoil will headshot the second bullet
I got my groove where I can come out of a wave unscathed and net positive on ammunition without a single pick up
let ignore the fact that two body shot will kill gunners anyway
the bolter has weird breakpoints these days
If I got plenty of ammo and shooting looks OK. Imma shoot.
you can one shot headshot gunners with longshot 12m out and Precision
that's the only one I tested and know
NGL, I'd rather they never raise the modifier cap, unless it's a level 5 upgrade or smth like this
executioneers stance, crit, elite killer in focus.
Okay, vet gamers
no keystone
What can I do to make the shredder not deal shit damage?
imo Columnus is not a great gun for executioners stance
That's the neat part, you don't
but it is an exceptional weapon
it seems better for middle tree with right dip
the game has doggedly refused to give me a decent shovel on either of my 2 vets until now, so I've no idea what to look for in one
for blessings, I'm guessing something like uncanny strike and maybe take a swing / hammerblow, but what about perks?
well i tested a couple of weapon, recon las included but with this i can dump out the most dps
Use the extended weapon customization mod to mod it into a boltpistol but with the borked hold animation - u shoot accurate for fear of shooting hand
you see ivan
yeah it has insanely high dps, i just don't think it really cares about executioner stance
Well a good shovel is hard to come by, it has like 12 blessings, but 2 actually good 
imo it's best served in aggressive, pushy builds
Have you tried it with Vraks 7 or even the 3?
they are more suited for long range engagment autoguns
agree with that statement
there's also shock trooper and a las
Whats the best Vraks anyways, in folks opinion
Columnus does seem to prefer the close and personal style, even if it's not quite melee
7 based
3-burst one
7 for me, so single shot
i mainly use the stance for highlight targets to well focus on them 🙂 in critical situations when the team is overwhelmed
Cool, I'll roll one sometime
both vraks are good, i tried both
my heart says VII but my head says III
yes it can be a good choice too.
oh for sure it's a great ability but it's better suited to longer range engagements and semi auto weapons or weapons with easy tap fire, imo at least
I think you can go exec stance but go middle tree for toughness/nades for those oh crap moments?
plus the tag can give toughness
I can't maintain Marksman Focus stacks on Columnus, maybe skill issue on my part but it seems too much effort
i will try it with headhunter guns however I find myself often is close range situations with shotgunners and elites, more often than in long range situations so i can kill them realy fast
Does the 10% rending work on ranged weapons?
yup
god I hope so
Also
like 1/4 of the arsenal needs it to kill carapace
that gun you have there, if you put Flak/Maniac on it with Dumdum and Fire Frenzy, will shred whatever you point it at within 10m
plus i use relentless so if there are more enemies i can continue the stance until they all die or i run out of ammo 😄
melee
especially if you go Precision Strikes
Great
what agile engagement?
I am having So much fun with mk 1 hellbore in Auric Damnation
I think it’s because plasma’s shot is wide and touches mauler’s torso
And the flak armored torso becomes priority calculation
you know, the engagement that is agile
except with helbore bayonet you don't need to swap
so i thought it would not work for agile either
i really like the I
i use mk2 for most of my playtime but did not know agile works with it
interesting
so it does at least something
i still wish weapon specialist worked with it
Just killing poxwalkers and flamers etc in one hit Is Fun
You can test it yourself. I was shooting above it's head so it could only clip the head, the residual effect was melting part of the helmet only, the damage was all flak
justObesseFishthings
Oyasse
That’s weird
maybe carapace was the friends we made along the way
why cant my vet have carapace armor
You technically do
i quickly draw up the skills : https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor?id=9aad1e89-7fa8-4cdd-9070-b0a95a7f83b5
you have 3 teammates, they are your carapace armor ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
The redacted penance final helmet is made of carapace armor
Ye
The final helmet is nice
Kinda Wish it had effect on your speach
Like slightly muffled voice
I see it as a mid-close range elite killer with crit focus and the essence of the whole build is relentless. very ammo efficient cuz the autogun has a lot of ammo and kills with few bullets. for the big guys, mainly for shild ogrins i use the granade
Made the mistake of going with Cadian Vet and all the screaming is pain
the drawback is that the gun has high swey and recoil. i will try it with headhunter i am curious
did anybody calculated around how many lvl 3 missions are needed to get enough plasteel to fully upgrade grey to yellow?
I don't hate it. It's just without shout or iron will you will be very squishy for that engagement range. I think it will work, you just need to watch your toughness carefully and pick your battles.
yes and doge a lot 😄
Impressive, 1M damage in 35 mins
That's p good
Oh it's the melee Maelstrom
Makes sense
Will we be getting hot shot lasguns anytime soon?
Grey to gold is just under 1500 plasteel
I’ve been trying to make exhilarating takedown work for me but I just can’t proc it consistently, skill issue on my part not an issue with the talent
But I started using out for blood recently and I absolutely love that talent, so I’m probably going to stick with that
u recommend fire frenzy or deathspitter?
u have 2 open locks right?
@tall torrent also I’ve been using a modified version of the build you gave me yesterday and I’ve been enjoying it a lot
nice
Basically I took the points used to get duck and dive and the melee damage node to get shock trooper and the left node of the tag keystone and took competitive urge over bring ‘em down
Been working really well for me
Out for blood is a really nice talent
I can't be the only one wanting a node to make so seen you pop your ability you auto reload your gun
Like that was a skill but now veteran just doesn't have it
They gave that ability to Ogryn as a treat
Saving the cliche and incorrectly phrased question "Which is better?" I'll ask instead: What are the drawbacks and advantages concerning the headhunter autogun versus the infantry autogun?
Very good question that I have no answer too because I don’t use autoguns 
yes the one on the right
I had heard they got a buff...?
I don't think that will ever happen again, given how they give the right tree a stop gap where melee kills reload your guns
Beat the pants out of a heretic captain with a stoned zealot and big E-money gave me this for my time, what am I looking to upgrade, if not throw into the brick pile?
one set is semiautomatic with blessings geared toward long range engagement with high finesse bonus
the other set is automatic weapons with blessings geared toward mid-close range engagement that synergizes with rend/brittle stacking?
True but still
they are quite distinct imo
Could probably leave the perks as they are and go for better blessings like decimator and uncanny strike
Overall it’s a pretty good shobel as far as stats and perks
With ET fixed its a pretty good talent to grab right
Yup, not for me tho, I can’t hit heads for shit
Despite maining laspistol which thrives off weakspot hits
Lmao, you can't say a talent's name, it gets autoblocked
I've done some testing, seems like ChOnk in the armour is not giving me any rending AT ALL. Can anyone confirm
Oh I see why it’s blocked 
lmao
But I’m not sure about the talent
okay so
I haven’t really dipped into the right tree
here are the numbers without CHONK in the armour
173
Number with Rending Strikes middle path
279
Headhunter autogun:
- high zoom in ADS (makes headshots at range easier but unwieldy up close)
- obstructive iron sights
- lower recoil with high headshot damage
- can utilize Headhunter, Surgical & Deadly Accurate blessings for bursts of damage
- very low maniac damage (very noticeable vs Mutants & Dreg Ragers)
- slower reload speed
Infantry autogun:
- rapid fully automatic fire with high DPS for most enemies (works well with Onslaught talent to melt armored enemies)
- flashlight is adaptable in many environments
- high headshot damage, but recoil makes continuous headshots harder
- faster reload speed
- better iron sights (has some visual deviation from actual shot placements in automatic fire)
- utilizes Dum Dum, Deathspitter and Fire Frenzy to amp up its damage in automatic fire
number with CHONK in the armour:
173
So:
Without any rending blessings: 173
CHONK in the armour supposed to be %10 but still: 173
Middle Row %10 talent (Rending Strikes): 279
Lets see if we run both
Still 279
this means, CHONK in the armour is not working AT ALL lmao
all testing was done with 10 focus stacks.
so I am literally spending a point for 0 benefit?
Real talk when are we getting Bolter and Revolver variants
imma go try and replicate this
Can someone confirm that "CHONK in the armour" is not working?
please do, it will be so funny if Fatshark made a talent that does absolutely nothing
Which talent?
CHONK in the armour, the original apparently is also a slur
Dink?
I'm confused
Oh lmao
Interesting
lemme try with 10 stack
can you try a headhunter vraks mk7
It is a derogatory term commonly used towards those of asian ethnicity.
I wish I could rename my vet to nade babe
Ah, hello CHONK
That's very fat phobic of you 😤
ah hell I messed up my screens
lmao
Lmao
i'll try a kantrael real quick to see
taboo words changes with society, wasnt too long ago anthing you wore over your crotch was called 'unmentionables' were a prudish race
lmao wait
@old prism you're onto something
bruuuh
it only applies if you're ABOVE 10 stacks
yep, i can switch the fire frenzy
requires long range assassin, useless with camouflage
wanna upload the bug report?
too lazy 😦
I got it
thanks mate
darn I need to make a forum post
do we have a dev we can ping or something?
or if anyone here has a forums account and wants to post it, you are free to use my screenshots
I would probs change perks, what were they again?
i have fire frenzy 3 and dumdum 4
Ok… is it wrong to troll someone who used Adolf and himmler in their name by triggering host?
My thought is you live by the edge you die by the edge
There's 2 people you're also trolling though
And they don't have those names
That’s true
I'd just report and play the match anyway
You’re a better person than me
that's still 76
so what the hell is going on here
im on 15 stacks, so this ain't a 10 stacks thing
crits have innate rending
so when u have really shitty performance vs an armor type and u crit the value is way higher than u would expect if u didnt know about it
No what perks are on it?
are u changing the distance you're shooting at
that's from the weapon customisation mod, those are my settings for it
i am not moving, no
oh perks not blessings sorry. increased crit chance 5% and stamina +2
I did this to my bolter
Aight, I guess we advise against taking CHONK in their armor then?
we gotta test it a bit more
because it feels like it aint working for me at all
is it completely broken? does it work under some circumstances
Literally just 
that's teeny tiny for a commisar
Nuh uh it’s perfectly average size
gotta say tho, I ain't surprised fatshark actually borked something lmao
yeh CITA is busted
It's 6 inches from butt to tip
standing ovation honestly
You measure from the butt?
Barrel is half an inch at best
aight, so we gotta tell everyone we know CITA is a broken trait
spend one point, get nothing kekw
Well at least I'm 6ft tall
What's broken?
If you count the chair you're standing on?

CHONK in the armour, that %!0 rendin trait on the left keystone veteran
I unfortuantely cannot actually type the name of the trait
We have people making dick jokes and people solving bug problem at once, sprinkled with accidental racism.
same damage on a crusher with and without in the psykhanium
What a time to be alive
Oh, there is no accident here. 
'course that's what a karking commisar would say, starting to sound like a damn cadian too
Well saves me a talent point so that's fine
hows this for a bolter?
Stats are fine, start praying to Hadron
fight a genestealer cult and you have all 3 in one go
good start
Let us know how it goes
i think
Funnily enough my guy is Loose Cannon which makes it even better for larping as a Commissar
the talent's completely borked, doesn't matter what you shooting
beautiful coding, fatshark
Yeah perfect first blessing, I hate you already
That honestly looks sick
is it worth going for the second blessing?
just a commisar saying very anti commisar things sounds about right
Not surprised it took people a while to find. Shows how many people run MM Focus
as expected
Yeah I would since you can reroll both perks and +carapace on it already isn't bad
Hit it fam
Hit it hard
thank you! I love to use it too as it's just a massive gun to blow apart heretics
yeah, not a much used keystone for obvious reasons. I seriously play it sometimes with a revolver to one shot crushers with crouchingtiger veteran flak cannon build lmao
Fuckin send it
i got calvacade
So they need to fix the fix, sounds standard for games in 2023.
Still salvageable
this is fine
aight
Be adventurous
Honestly for my play style, I mag dump and I would run it
that's about all the enemies I can shoot from the loadout box that don't die in 1 crit
did you do the bug report or should I do it
aight
happy to help broski\
what blessings should i roll for on this, or should i just change the perks?
not really an iag main
raking fire can be pretty pog btw
Gaming in 2023 is getting a patch to fix the game with a hotfix for the patch that fixes the game so it actually fixes the game but that hotfix then needs a fix.
Id swap ranged crit for maniac and save the second reroll
raking fire is pretty nice on infiltrate vet
you'd probably want flak or maniac in your perks
i run squad lead with this build, but i'll try to be flanky
just flak is fine
Probably both blessings to any combo of dumdum, frenzy, or that other close range damage one
IAGs melt maniac targets very fast
Oh yes forgot you want flak
