Oh you don't have the buff active
The fek is bleed synergy?
The ping
which buff?
oh
....ping an elite then toss grenade?
Ping it, kill it
is deadshot still worth over precision strikes for something like plasma?
Then toss
ogryn and zealot like bleeding enemies
The bleed is extremely overrated and it's just an extra rider effect frankly
Ogryn and Zealot make their own blood
If you're taking frags to help out your teammates, don't, it's a rider effect
It's got what the ~Skull~ Golden Throne craves.
Ogryns make 8 things bleed every time they swing
Zealots make 1-12 things bleed every time they swing
I'm taking frag grenades to deal with hordes when pubs can't deal with them adequately.
They don't really need your help
Well, no I take it because it stuns, bleed is just a nice boon
If you wanna clear hordes take a devils claw
The bleed is a rider effect that was so underwhelming as a talent they just rolled it into the base
But then what do I do with my power sword? =/
Put it where it belongs, the trash, and git gud
Speaking of grenades
It's basically pointless to take the extra damage on kraks now huh?
Their boss damage is pretty pathetic and even with the buff still very w/e
well seeing how hilariously weak it is, doesn't seem worth it. Can't even kill the weakest mob even with a +25% buff.
sheesh
The 25% boost is for the radius too
Which imo is worth it
Frags were always something you threw to get off a revive or knock down a dangerous group
I use frags to make space, not really to rely on them to kill trash
Just throw 2, you can see the videos I showed
If you wanted to clear you threw 2 with the bleed talent
How high would twinned grenade chance need to be for you to take it you think?
But I always thought that was pretty bad opportunity cost
50% at least
Or all charges that comes back once a minute or something
Add mauler
Now that it's a rider effect, if you go middle tree you can skip to grab frags if you want to crowd clear fairly reliably
even then on a slow regening / limited resource it's not good to have RNG
It's not bad just, not really what I want imo
Pretty much never wipe to a horde
Always wipe to ragers and trappers
Or those crusher trains
So I prefer kraks because it just reliably dunks on the most annoying enemies
Also it kinda depends on your melee
I die on trapper mostly
If you don't bring a melee that can reliably deal with hordes frags can be a good help there
But also wtf are you bringing an axe on vet for
imagine if Twinned Nade let you pick up and throw back bomber nades
axe is insane
CAxe is great
TacAxe maybe not so
Go play Zealot you stinkers
if only Vet had Zealot's damage resist :c
Because I swear I do better on Zealot axe than vet axe
And Psyker peril buff
And Ogryns reload
true
Vet has a LOT of dmg buff. But poor dr
Like, more damage + way more survivability
I guess a lot of it is just Zealot's baseline stats
Better stam and such
Can play way more aggro with a Zealot
Also zealot has stun resist
for rashad, do u just use special against rager pack?
if you mean grenade tinkerer, it was fixed
oh Zealot
The stam regen delay is normalized?
I write too fast
And the sprint speed when out of stamina?
relatable
Cause those are the two stats that kinda make Zealot way easier to go full rampage with imo
Oh yeah ok I thought he still felt
Better at a baseline
Tbf kinda hard to get both -.25
I can't really get both anymore, I could last patch
Now it's just not worth it
Stamina regen is very good when SHTF
because a lot of builds work around stamina
The delay is literally life or death
the only build that doesn't really need stamina is plasma builds
Stam is important for melee, current topic
pushes, blocks, and block attacks too
Stam is important just in general, even if you go raw sharpshooter
It's still a safety net to gtfo when you need to reposition
Only takes 1 curio to get 3 stamina at least
it was a me
Zealot used to have way better base stats
Now it just has slightly better base stats
Which axe is that btw
Rashad? Yeah ok
Interesting
I suppose I need to update my lore
I've been spamming chainsword
Is deadshot necessary?
no lol
Im trying to get one extra point
for what gun?
Zealot really doesn't need any stamina stuff
for plasma, no UwU
Not from trinkets
Arguably the only two guys that benefit from stamina trinkets are still ogryn and vets
Sliding gods no more 
Ogryn because, you can make shields stupid af rn since they force shooters into melee with that one perk
deadshot columnus is not a good idea
And Vets because, you kinda do like having good stam especially since Deadshot finally doesn't penalize you for having more stamina
does something like this make sense for an axe build? Or should I dip further into weapon specialist?
I use ping keystone so the stamina loss is not really noticed
Infantry lasgun
also a single +3 stam curio helps a ton
God why is Fire Team still so fucking baaaaaad
Its one of those âits really noticeableâ things
I'm assuming you're using the Deadly Accurate + Headhunter combo so Deadshot helps a lot
Thx
Yes
faster crits to really use that Deadly Accurate damage helps a ton
because fuck specialists
I endlessly notice it
Now thatâs a lasgun
Deadshot is very strong you just have to build around it, yes, take at least one +3 Stam trinket and Duck and Dive
yeah I'd use Deadshot on it, you can use the ping keystone or something to keep your stamina up in bad situations
But im trying to scave one more point for extra ammo
do I cut scav?
Deadshot and Duck and Dive just need to be moved to the same tree or something
But tbh lasguns dont use much ammo to start with
They're borderline twins
Cut smokes for frags
Fraternal
buh muh smokes :c
you could drop this as 3s duration makes it hard to get value from
Also, you donât need both -threat and +toughness reduction on infil. Pick one or the other
that's like 1-2 attacks at best
You probably don't need both low profile and damage reduction?
You wonât get attacked while in low profile
I like covering fire
Also smoke over frag is a bold choice
Covering Fire is pretty irrelevant unless you use a high RoF weapon
fucking discord
And even then still kinda meh
somehow replied to Bismarck lol
lasrifle go pew pew
But I play backline vet with the xii lasgun
straight silver lets go
Please stop, i need it working
UwU
You only really get value from it on hordes and your teammates shouldn't be dying to them
Shouldnâtâ˘ď¸
Or if they're getting swarmed by ravagers
SHOULDN'T
God I did an Auric where a Psyker did 62k damage
What the fuck was that shit
Taser psyker
Just like
even a smite spammer should get more than 62k lol
Only saber
And the other two 5 times
ah the downed-half-the-match isn't helping 
Fucking
This of it this way, Ogryns regen 25% toughness on heavy melee (not kills, hits)
You killed the enemy means no more hits for the Ogryn while regening him 15%
Heaviest team I have ever played with
I think covering fire is not great
Not every teammate is a bruiser ogryn
Covering Fire would be better if it lasted longer
I was in fact a bruiser ogryn
3s is barely usable let alone impactful
I was a bruiser ogryn that was also on special killing duty
Yes team don't worry I will do everything
Ogryns with kickback are on special killing duty
No I like dancing sniper shots for 30 seconds while I juggle 5 ragers I don't need help
And limit yourself to a smaller subset of enemies

You also get to shoot the ranged enemies
Kickback is really great though
Itâs so silly good.
That's an understatement
compared to something like Grenade Tinkerer + Shredder nades
Sillariously good
Good for quick play at least
Haven't seen anything outdamaging a decent Kickback Ogryn yet
Howâs me Helbore?
I mean it's just nice for the fact it 2 shots snipers at any range
1 shots most specials up close
And can throw shooter gorups to the floor
no Onslaught hurts, but it will demolish anything it hits
And actually has ammo now
kickback needs a buff anyways
Pretty hard to find something to dislike
no onslaught
decent, viable, can be better
assail tracking kickback pellets when?
But it's also not great for a gunlugger
Should shoot through more walls
It's excellent for skullbreakers and bullgryn
true
I find it funny its the only shotgun with the Surgical blessing
Yeah it just doesn't get as much value out of gunlugger as other weapons do
despite being the least surgical weapon possible
Tfw not even slug shotguns have it
Also you will just do more damage in melee, it's not very efficient at killing gunners or even really shotgunners
yeah Fatshark was smoking when they gave the Kickback Surgical
Shotgunners, very close up yeah
Iâm surgical with this shit, how do you want it open or closed casket?
Gunners take 2-3 hits, you can 1 tap them with a crit at close range with fullbore
Not in my experience
But I don't have a perfect kickback
Running surgical 4 and full bore 4
With a kickback?
My friend has a perfect kickback and he one shots pretty well anything at any distance
Very much dependent on range and if I can activate fullbore
It can crit 1 tap snipers from
So far away though
You need more than 1 for dreg gunners with kickback close range?
Send that thing back for warranty friend
I hope it's still in the return window đ
I can 1 tap mutants if I get any extra damage from an aura or something though
wait does this require a specific tree or is it just base?
Which is very funny
What gets me is that the unarmored dudes sometimes take 2 shots from the plasma. Like yo. Iâm oneshotting crushers and youâre telling me this guy ainât dead?
You need melee dmg nodes for combat axe and 30% weakpoint / desperado
vs armor type is extremely impactful yes

Bolter đ
Not bad. Uptime is surprisingly high
Or does it have some kind of unexplained effect to make it not function as well as it sounds
It's fine to take if you have extra point
Like an internal cooldown
I wouldn't take it over Ogryn damage
Because 2.5% is low but auric maelstroms are just a giant meatgrinder
On average, for every 40 enemies killed by anyone on your team, youâll get an 8s buff
The proc can overlap and extends each other
like this?
Yeah so it's just full uptime
They don't stack though
I really hate how this is what half my vet trees look like
What're your stats?
You want 10% melee, 5% melee, 30% weakpoint and a godroll (>75% on every stat except mobility) Rashad axe with unarmored + flak, brutal momentum + headtaker/decimator/thrust to hit every possible breakpoint u care abt
No I mean as far as perks and blessings
đ
hol' up i need to check my axe...
The scab bruiser 1 hit is somewhat hard to reach (talent point wise) if youâre building survivalist
Scab bruiser is 625hp
I tried a bunch of combinations and needed 25% unarmored, 10% melee, 5% melee and 30% weakpoint to get scab bruiser one shot
Ya know, the boltor having both bad ammo econ and bad swap speed is really what makes it feel oof I think
Cause mine does half that
I don't mind low ammoe econ when I can swap off and on it quickly to manage when I use it effectively
If you have desperado, yea
but having such a low draw time makes it feel that much more noticable that its ammo econ is poor
I think just helping out bolters ammo econ and nerfing plasmas ammo econ could work to give them both niches
With just 10% and 5% melee?
I really dont want them to touch plasma damage and cleave cuz that shit is
rn
Daddy don't ignore me
Oh
yeah I didn't think that was something you could get on a kickback
Yea, you need 10% + 5% melee + desperado/precision strikes
Actually no seriously the fuck is your build and gun that your kickback 1 shots at that range
But precision strikes is generally the better pick because it helps ur gun reach better breakpoints unless youâre dedicating to commando tree and arenât using guns that care abt that weakpoint bonus
I don't think 10% on 1 stat and like 3% of missing stats is what's make or break here
Precision strikes hits some very good breakpoints for a lot of weapons that itâs hard to not take it for a 2 point cost
The number was yellow so Azreal crits while yours didn't?
Surgical is very good
Nah even if I crit weakspot it's still not a 1 shot
Now Iâm wondering do I rly want duck & dive for helbore 2
FNP as in?
Feel no pain (middle keystone)
Yeah ok, so you're getting the buff from Payback?
Or does that not even matter for killing bosses
I thought they capped bosses to 16 stacks
Or is that only bleed and infernus
Fascinating
Skullbreaker does a stupid amount of melee dps I dunno what you mean lol
For a couple specific guns it hits breakpoints
For example Mk1 IAG gets to one tap all shooters and sniper in the head with 30% weakpoint
Not every gun but some guns really do benefit from that weakpoint node significantly more
Stunlock bosses
I mean like, yeah a glass cannon is better
But I really disagree with Ogryn being a bad solo class
He has insane staying power, extremely good sustained damage, he's just weak to shooters
And that's kinda arguable it's just dependent on position and the map
ogryn crump best
Solo as in solo queue or solo as in just yourself?
I can't see Vet being usable for anyone but like, the absolute top tierest of players because he has such bad staying power
You make a minor mistake and you kinda just die
What do you mean I just press F and bowling ball the map
Trying doing that against a netter at 8m out
I literally have
If you start a charge while the netter is still running you'll knock them over before they brace
I mean when they primed already
If you start it after, yeah you'll get netted but so will every other character
Should have clarified
I guess i see what you mean about the AoE stun vs charge though
Not vet, you have a bigger window to knock down
I know what you mean
shoot the trapper maybe?
I just don't really see that as relevant to myself because I'm not near good enough to do solo runs nor insane enough for that matter
Sometimes you can't đ
The most I've done is C3DWONS with a group
Which is pretty much the limit to my ability to deal with Fatshark nonsense
i can def reload quick enough with rumbler and kickback
You're basically talking about a separate game than I am to that degree, so while I acknowledge your skill, I just have to say it's not relevant for myself or my friends
That's fair but you shouldn't say things like this. People will respond to disagreements.
Well I didn't initially see that as "literally solo" I thought he was referring to clutching
Now I see what he means and it's just, oh we're talking about two different things
Yes
Yes
I've watched Royale and such
Yeah no i can totally see why Ogryn would suck as a truesolo
No real disagreements there
But rock hits mutants funny
I mean you can stunlock them
Reddit told me so
Chaos Spawn and Plague Ogryn are a joke
Itâs weird how an axe does more damage than every Ogryn melee weapon
That really surprised me when I started Ogryn
Difficult if there's other things active sure, but, in normal play ogryn completely trivalizes bosses
I mean
bromentum shovel or shield multi kills bruisers tho
I normally topscore damage on bosses anyways because bleed
Most people even in Auric are not really running optimal builds
Shovel doesnât have BM
ogryn shovel does
Ogryn shovel is what he means
yeah I don't see many vets in Auric
Sad
The ones I do are usually shouty supports
So not really dealing the most damage
I did get one vet the other day doing sharpshooter damage
Oh no we are not going back to the middle tree = support no damage conversa
yeah Iâm sure, I wouldnât think ogryn would be best for TS
great for clutch and hard carry. whatâs your preferred for TS? Vet?
Ogryn is strong for clutching revives but no I would not argue Ogryn would be good for TS
He's a little broken right now yes
You really have to try to make a bad Ogryn
yeah zealot I figured would be my pick if I was gonna TS
all the movespeed too
Yeah I haven't crunched the numbers but
Fire nade is great
Wow does fire do a lot of damage
They're usably good
They're just not, yeah, incredibly versatile
Except the bully clubs
Those are the most versatile
Cleavers do silly damage but nothing to armor
Also don't have amazing stagger
Shovel is kinda pointless now imo with the bully club buffs
Unless you specifically want to do brutal momentum to kinda try to turn it into a knife for hordes that can still do something to armor
Ohh finally
Is that vet set in yet
Hell no
The game I mean
Weâll be lucky if we ever see it at this point
I don't thiunk the ogryn armor is either?
Yup
Maybe when they finally add penances for the new subclasses
None of them are
Which is funny because they literally have the armor on the wall of the cosmetic vendor lol
That is true but also I can just kill things in 3 hits with a bully club
The zealot armor in game doesnât have parchment iirc
And all of them are in the game files
I have a love/hate relationship with brittle and skullcrusher
On the one hand, cool, I'm making enemies weaker
On the other hand, oh wait they already die from any focused build
Could be useful if you specifically build into it for say a vet running a headhunter I suppose, but even then they can still kinda just kill crushers if they build right with or without you
Wonder if weâll ever get a difficulty 6
Would be hard to regulate because damnation QP rn is a coin toss as to whether your teammates are self capable or complete newbies
And heresy is even worse
Now itâs much more diluted because more people are getting into this game
Pretty sure darktide is in steam top seller page
idk why you'd swap, esp since you'd have to reload and swapping and reloading a kickback would take as long as just killing the crusher with the bully club
brace yourselves for like a month or so while people git gud
much higher hit rate for good pubbers in auric than regular in my experience
Auric definitely helps because new players who just reached lv30 but are not fully understanding the gameâs mechanics try auric once or twice and give up
There's too many of them
@wintry wadi btw whatâs the setup on an axe these days?
wrong az real but oh well
BM+headtaker/decimator is optimal
Which axe?
aight so not much changed lol
Remember when Rashad was trolling
Do I need to be in a strike team for "Make every shot count"?
Antax is safer
Rashad is more lethal
quick question - any perks needed to be rerolled 'fore i go farm enough plasteel to try to unlock hand cannon IV?
same setup on Zealot too?
Need advice - where can I get 1 more point for 8stacks?
that explains so much, thanks
Covering fire
drop res on shout node
its waste
And charismatic
a total waste
But it's good and saving ppl :c
Also res on shout
Why tho?
if you need shout to res you are fucked already
Yea your teammate Ogryn who infinitely regens toughness definitely appreciates that
too large downdidfe
apart from that - longed CD
Isn't it extend coherency radius, therefore extending most buffs range?
Is that true even on crits
I wouldnât call it that impactful
yes, but do not rely on coherency too much
So my two favorite zealot builds can use this just fine
Remember, coherency toughness regen turns OFF in melee combat
Neat
I have this Rashad, penetration unfortunately a bit low, but seems to be able to one shot bruisers without headtaker buff
bruisers are the guys with no head armor right?
you mean bruiser Azreal
Vet does get the 10% AS speed just on its own though
i can't one shot the guy with head armor unfortunately
maybe it's pen stat too low?
yeah, yo just typed rager and I went wtf for a sec
Yeah he's got flak head
i think i have all three
Crit chance and unarmored probably are more worth replacing
maybe i needed flak instead of unyielding...
guy has like a tiny slither of health left

đ
I really wonder if I should drop demo stockpile to grab suppression immunity here
By best I of course mean best statistically and blessing wise
Not best performance wise
And now tac axe 2 is competing for worst weapon in the game yeah
I used to run tac axes on my zealot
Probably Ogryn's power maul
I cannot think of a way to make that not a meme
also zealot maul?
at least now i know what to farm for...
Zealot maul is OK
It's not his best weapon but it's usable
Depends on what you want
It's a good all rounder, but it won't be as focused as well, more focused weapons
Kinda like a thunderhammer now imo
Except it has an aoe stun instead of a one shot button
btw how is hsword 7 nowadays?
if a TH was insanely agile and did incredible damage and stagger without charging, yeah
Chain axe can be as good as possible and I still won't use it
Because I hate the moveset
Crusher is fucked up good rn
lmao
I know it was usable on Zealot for a while but like
Fuck I just don't like it man
It's pretty dog in anything but the most specific of builds and blessings
The lights do hit a lot of 1s bp's though
what blessings should I have for the power sword?
I've got 3
Into the trash
and rampage 4
Nah you can make use of 3, rampage and slaughterer were ok when its normal attacks were better, now the sword is super reliant on being energized
Plus other weapons are better now at a baseline
It also still has really bad dodges and stamina
Power cycler 3 is kind of usable if you had to
You're just gonna be slamming special attack a lot
Because it's really not very good without being energized
I used to just run around with an unenergized PS and still topscore on damage lmao
What a stupid fucking weapon it was
I don't mind its nerfed state at all
Is the recon lasgun ass now? I almost never see anyone use it anymore
Is pretty bad
from bad to meme tier depending on variant
this ok?
Pretty good almost perfect roll, Stability shouldn-t be an issue
Stability matters more on high RoF weapons
Yeah and when you get super pressured you cna't just start wildly flailing and still kill shit
Still need the space to turn it on
My issue with it before is even when you didn't turn it on, it was still better than most other melee weapons
Happy Gary Indiana Friday yall. What's the strongest vet build in your opinion? Right now I'd say plasma rifle spam, or infiltrate shock trouper vet with a plasma sword.
Or at least good enough that you weren't penalized for using it suboptimally
I'm still sorta assuming that's unintended and will get fixed
At least the cancel
But who knows, Fatshark may just forget lol
Oooooo
Huh, I guess
That's wack, yeah
I didn't realize that was a change introduced by the community
By crusher do you mean uh'
The Zealot's maul?
I guess it is called the crusher yeah, ok
This is degenerate 
limbsplitter abuse? love to see it
No it's fun
this is like the only time ever where limbsplitter is good
Also someone talked about cleave properties so
limbsplitter abuse + brutal momentum abuse (cuz why not
) vs chaos spawn https://streamable.com/mefmhr
twas me. said 5; was wrong. looks like 6 đ
Let's try to improve that, shall we ?
if i had pro wrist skillz I could get much better time, It's hard to move the mouse to hit the headshot on the choas spawn
what update ?
which one do u think styupid
the only one with news on it
carnival part 2 ? not yet
how does psword measure up against chainsword this patch?
pretty good, mk6 for single target and mk3 for aoe
Rofl try. I will try to get it lower
now I am very happy that I haven't deleted my Rashad with BM IV and Limpshitter IV
im not going there tell me now
No
24 stabs (22 landed)
rashad gang rise up 
Helbore 1 and 2 have the same special moveset
you do 2k on headshot 2k on crit 4k on headshot crit
for this preem degeneracy do I care if its mk. 1 or 2 helbore?
only difference is when you shoot the hellbore, melee damage is the same
whats better for helbore, mk1 or mk2?
Chaos spawn when he faces a Kriegsman armed with a bayonet:
Mk1 has better breakpoints
Mk2 shoots faster and uses less ammo per shot
the fuck is a breakpoint
AP maybe?
A slight improvement 
Armor pen?
Mk1 takes less shots to kill important enemies
Mk2 shoots faster and uses less ammo
Am gonna stop am hurting my hand 
whats the perks and blessings on the helbore for this
or does it not matter
Honestly, they should make the mk iii a stab too
for melee damage only armor perks make a difference
I have unyielding, then you take axe with limbsplitter and bm
Oh, i know what I can do !
I think
With this strat
You can pretty consistently reach 10 stab = half health
And after that swap to regular melee and block its attacks
does the limbsplitter affect bayonet melee??
Yes (unintended)
limbsplitter and brutal momentum affect bayonet melee, limbsplitter has no cooldown
Limb splitter on ur melee weapon makes the bayonet permanently deal 60% more dmg
Which is pretty crazy
brutal momentum lets you kill 5 enemies per stab (as long as they are lined up) 
what're the ideal helbore blessings
Onslaught + Surgical
kk
Personally itâs onslaught and surgical
Idealling youâre looking for something like this
damn what a fuckin gun
I unironically use this as my primary melee weapon to get maximum ranged uptime so I can dunk any bs from a distance instead of needing to draw helbore from melee
the weakness of the bayonet is carapace, but charged shot to the head + crit can quickly kill carapace enemies
so you have no weakness
Oh my god, serated blade applies to bayonnet 
Mines a mk iii but here it is
Agile engagement and serrated blade both apply
But serrated on its own is pretty meh without onslaught talent
imo serrated + onslaught is not worth, you do enough damage as is and the crit talent is better than onslaught
In an actual game this probably gets even better? Because you can use frag to stagger it first then use VoC for a second stagger for maximum weakspot hit uptime
Any guns recommended for volleyfire/execstance?
Wish the charge rate were a slight better, but it works
#makehelboremk3greatagain
Infantry lasguns
Infantry autoguns
?
plasmagun is the strongest gun right now
My current build
Center for me
ah bet
Mines mostly the same
Any recommeded for headshot autoguns?
(that work against crusherheads?)
- all?
- only headhunters?
- only specific gun?
(going for penance)
You want to use autoguns specifically for crushers?
I like the agripiina mk Ix for an all around rifle
vraks 3 is most ammo efficient headhunter autogun, columnus is strongest infantry autogun, agripinaa is best braced autogun
uh-- i guess..
and ragers I guess
and penance.(volleyfire elite kill)
Columnus mk5 infantry autogun, take onslaught talent on right tree bottom
Does Serrated Blade trigger on every tick of a Chainswords shred?
No, just 1 tick (total)
Not realistic but I wanted to maximize stupidity
I thought colubus was a gunfu weapon which was better for adds
(i really don't know)
Sir pls speak English
they're perfectly understandable
Oh nvm
Columnus IAG is pretty versatile
You need onslaught to kill crushers though
gunfu:
high mobility, sliding, backflip somersault Matrix style. rather than (turret stance)
IAGs can have alright anti-carapace if you stack Rending + Brittleness on them, although your mileage may vary. I've found Agripinaa IAG to actually do better and doesn't need Onslaught
gun fu
kek
X stance drastically lowers mk5 IAGâs recoil
Bomber dr working now?
Without Onslaught my Agripinaa IAG gets about 1.6k DPS on Crushers
Not good
rending and brittleness? đŤĄ
Actually my bad
Onslaught is still gang
I had it on đ
without onslaught it does 800
with 1.6k
huh?
I prefer Agri IAG cause you don't need exec stance to make it work
Just correcting myself on an earlier point
but yeah pick your IAG of choice tbh
I need to use Stance for penance.
Alright, am gonna troll an auric map with this crap
So, Brittleness and Rending Onslaught then?
U just need onslaught talent
New guide for infiltrate veteran is out. Tried some, new stuff with the editing. Hope y'all enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2o9iOZPpus
Make heretics rue the day they were born and dominate in damnation with this new Veteran build.
Thanks again for joining me everyone! Here is the latest Darktide veteran build for maximum heretic slaughtering. I had a lot of fun making this guide, and can't wait to share more Darktide content with you all. Comment down below any weapon type or...
Agri has best bullet to kills ratio
for a focus target build, how necessary is the 8stack node?
Itâs very ammo efficient if youâre consistently popping heads with the 30% weakpoint node
I dont really use the helbore guns, but this one seems alright for a melk gun. Should I bother to pick it up?
stat rolls are fine but the blessing/perks are not
i wouldnt
Ngl, if you're in damnation and you're bringing in a columnus, i wish you hadnt. Not enough oomph for kills
3/4 are flat out terrible
wtf are you talking about
it shits out damage
really?
#veteran-class message :^) not enough damage
Need clarification:
Columnus **Braced **has:
- Deathspitter, FireFrenzy, SpeedReload, TerrifyingBarrage, Hit&Run, StrippedDown
Vraks HeadHunter has: - OpeningSalvo, Ghost, Falter, Surgical, NoRespite, BetweenTheEyes, HeadHunter, CruianRoulette
I think Rending and Onstalught might be melee
is it alright to dump stat collateral a little bit on boltor? Last I knew pinning fire was one of the better blessing for it and collateral is stagger
Jail for how that weapon is modded
Also they are not talking about weapon blessings
they're talking about the talent
onslaught is a right-hand side tree perk...
onslaught on your tree
the one that stacks rending per hit
sorry
stacks Brittleness* per hit
lol yea weapon customization makes some really random ones
Its just my opinion from what ive seen in damnation runs. Just run something else imo
Not like the shredder era
That shit gave me stuff not even nurgles thinks is cool
idk fam i can do 3600dps on a crusher with a columnus iag
don't judge things by "what you see"
Do we have a recommended Blessing/Perks for IAG?
dumdum+ firefrenzy/deathspitter
Perk: Carapace + X I guess?
no
any bleed builds in veteran?
flak man
flak / maniac đŤĄ
And that crusher is standing still not moving and hulking his weight around. Not everything in the meat grinder is optimal
no this was live game with healthbars mod honey
olus
if you have bad aim
with an automatic
how the fuck is a single shot going to be better
you just haven't played with a good columnus player yet
You might need suppression resistance if your aim is off.
Are you being prodded by poxies while aiming?
Brainless plasma build, lmb spam and body shot everything except ogryns
can one tap zerkers with headshots
you have to be in the stance during this?
for the breakpoints on zerk / flamer / gunner
my plasma not perfect though
That was, by far, the most stupid build I ever attempted
all this with the bayo? amazing
same using plasma gun, but here is the melee focus one
i m still thinking that 5 crit with dodge
i could swap to demolition team or 10 melee dmg
its ok but most enemies only stack it when you side dodge
yea, i m melee focus so can trigger it often
but i dont know if it is worth comparing to 10 melee dmg
unless 10% lets you hit one taps on trash then id go for it
or twinned blast, tho i dont think it works well 20% is still kinda low unless i run demolition team with it
i already can
10 melee doesnt have a specific breakpoiont for me
but it would be great against monstrositis
same with 1 bleeding...i rly want to take it but just cant afford the point
bleed is a meme on most set ups
oh rly? i thought it is great
twinned bladst only really good on frags but takes too many points imo
want boss damage better to invest points in krak + tinker
but not oneshot mauler
no but you can drop them in 3 body shots or 1+ crit so you can keep the volley going on packs of them anyway
twinned blast is also great for bulwaks and crushers horde
which are very common these days
but it takes too many points
just got this
need it for gunners
still drops flamers with headshot in volley, flak also needed for no volley bombers
since i am running this, perhaps crit chance is a better option here
What do you even want on this
I feel like, it already one taps flak, and unarmored, so, maniac unyielding?
demolition team is great in maelstorm but just not anything else đŚ
maniac unyeild or maniac crit chance
wish demo team was in a better spot on the tree. hard enough techi9ng down just for iron will in most builds
yea
Alright, I modified my keybind and did some tree adjustment. Time to try again 
right now is hard to build a grenadier without losing key keystones
I did up an infiltrate / krak build and it does ok boss damage, kinda memey though
ye
it kinda just shines over all other 2
1 point you can 50 touguness that pair well with iron well
im trying to make volley builds work but feel so squishy a lot of the time
while the other two takes a bunch modifer points to just to be playble lol
yea volley is kinda painful without the DR it had before
Cool video. Why go down the left tree instead of the right tree at the bottom. I've been working on an infiltrate build where I use power sword and agri shotgun, and I go for grenades and bottom right tree, and pick up all the infiltrate nodes. I absolutely wreak havic in melee.
still missed my -75 DR days
just had a game with a volley bolter
basically my ammo refiller
plasma gun is just too good
better than revolver
you dont even need to reload XD
maybe i time a game
also better ammo economy as well
can also charge shoot boss
When it was buffed people said ghe plasma gun wasnt better than the revolver
the old bolter reincarnated into plasma gun now
A month later its better
We vets all feel this pain
lol exctacly, but I just discovered it recently too, I didnt know it pair so well with melee vet
I took off extra ammo
anothe day I was running zealot a vet just took all the ammo with his lovely kantreal XII
quited after that
Had that happen to me
"Stop stealing all the ammo"
Supression immunity really do make a difference
it has larger hit boix
Miss less
I primarily use infantry lasguns
Heh Iâll literally call people out by name over coms and tell them âstop stealing ammo from those who need it assholeâ
but tbh if you are running plasma gun, supression immunity is not that important
Sometimes I swap to a goofy plasma gun
cuz as long as you shoot somewhere in his body
It has like 12 heat resistance
Had an interesting bug happen today, got the Deadeye penance without even having Volley Fire equipped
exactly, I can understand if is a volley plasma gun vet
in missions like power outrage
But I donât have the pants 
It triggers off of a teammates shared executioners stance afaik
oh no
Tbh Iâll only ever take the ammo stash if Iâm in the red and Iâll generally only ever take ammo tins
I cant see the elites while pumping fire
Soulblaze snowballing is so much more useful than a gun psyker
my screen is totally blue
revolver psyker is super good
You know whats even better?
Letting your plasma vet have ammo
recon? Not sure
schizo wizards
you're not getting ammo with a recon vet in your team lmao
I have seen tons of recon plasma gun psykers
Schizo cowboy wizard 
I have not seen a vet use recon in weeks
i mean even if you are running Kantreal XII
i saw one yesterday
I can understand
I used recon yesterday
but why recon
Recon las gunkers are the worst ammo vacuums in my experience
They prefer bolters if theyâre being goofy
Recon the gun
Its still top tier
Yeah it's not hot
i love sniper bolter in the year 2023
But folks will run it because they probably dont know better still a fun gun
I had one today in malice and they got outdamaged against my lvl20 psyker 
its fun and at this point thatd all that matters
wait ur talking psyker
not vet
yup
Yeah like it has some history on the 40k universe, even I used it until i learned how terrible it was
in that case I dunno
Roll with the punches
recon gunskyers
I use infantry lasguns cause they are workhorses
totally blow my mind
playing pskyer and not using psyker stuff is strange to me
And are extremely good on ammo
Gunker can do insane crits but truthfully why give up the space wizard fantasy for that
and its not rare case like ppl using crushers before
Okay to be fair
(crushers are good these days
Flamethrower zealots are Gs
I dont consider flamer to be ranged
It by definition is
ah if only they didnt nerf the flammer

Like if you play gun zealot, you're playing close range because you get that 20% bo us damage on enemies close to you
The lighting on lights out missions are perfect
cringe
So flamers, smg, shotgun
its supposed to be a suppression weapon
That's useful đĽš
also for shout builds do they work with basically every ranged weapon?
ive been mostly running plasma but helbores are fun too
yup
With damage boost if going full middle tree
What's the distance for Longshot?
I dont even want to go back to old stance
vet needs something to save you from desperate situation
in the past the volley fire with DR saves my life countless time
I support my team
Stealth vet is very good too
sad they removed unwavering
also 50 touguness pair well with iron well
But Executioners stance needs a rework
man I remember popping that shit back in the day
I am not even gonna mention instant reload
and facetanking t5 gunners
Highting Ogryns should he default
Exec is tough
And refresh on kill too
Eh
Not a fucking upgrade
yeah those highlight capstones should be built in
rn my zealot is running Agripinnaa exclusively
Tax on refresh kill is okay, choosing ogryns or all shooters is not okay
Highlightinf for team and all ranged enemies should be the only upgrade
vet already had a large tree and is starving for points
It should target all gunners and upgrade INTO ogryns
i mean for melee vet is acturally okay now
for powersword builds, what is the other blessing besides power cycler you should run?
So you can have both
tho i do feel inflitrate is less op but its at least usable
Refresh should absolutely be built in
infiltrate is more niche than shout but still good imo
but it is hardly to considered as balanced
Wasnt ogryn highlight already apart of the ability for awhile?
sure its not as much dmg as zealot but it has a lot more utility
cuz you can pretty much see all three builds distribute evenly in other class
Really sucks when you can only choose one or another considering there's gonna be alot more gunners and heavy gunners than stray reapers, who mind you, go down so fast
but in vet
so what you are telling me, Brutal Momentum 
i swear 70% are running VOC
Its too good
Vet doesnt have much surviability to begin with
The tax for +50 toughness is kinda stank but whatever
and it staggers everything
It does
It should be baseline
But I mean not passive survivability
thats too op XD
Why do zealot chorus give 150+ toughness
a lot of stuff on vet tree should be built in tbh
Without an upgrade
but i mean they could make the revive not reducing range
Its nust 100
