What is this "ciag" you speak of

junior needle
#

Columnus IAG

I dont see it

junior needle
ocean moat
#

Ohhh

#

I was so confused on wtf iag was

sharp ember
#

iag is this discord's shorthand for Infantry AutoGuns

#

but for Braced autoguns, we say brauto instead of BAG

Not my thing

ocean moat
#

Ah

untold mulch
#

I am trying to make shotgun work with Zealot

frank ether
#

havent rly touched shotguns yet

#

I'm waiting for a decent roll to do it

ocean moat
#

Shotguns just suffer from low range

frank ether
#

I'm hoping the patch comes with some buffs to some of the more doodoo weapons

#

chaxe and recon especially

#

everything else kinda viable but those two doodoo

untold mulch
#

Recon VId damage has been rolled back to 40

ocean moat
#

Chaxe just cant compare to chword rn

frank ether
#

Its cleave is rly bad compared to chainsword

#

it does that lock-on rev attack on lights

#

which isnt ideal

#

and heavies arent good either

ocean moat
#

Tbf its an axe, thats going to happen

#

The revs on light are really annoying

sharp ember
#

+20 heavy damage with less cleave here u go thumbsup_ogryn

south prairie
#

Yea i feel like axes are single target damage, which doesnt bode well for caxe

#

The antax slaps tho

frank ether
#

I mean its not exactly amazing single target damage either

whole moon
#

I'm not even feeling the axes benefit on single target (over the other chain weps)

ocean moat
#

Speaking of axes

#

Which should i use

untold mulch
#

which was the slug special shotgun?

sharp ember
#

mundane axes chop single enemies better and safer than chaxe too

frank ether

ayo what's with all the malice players in auric damnation?

south prairie
nimble sentinel
#

got dudes with plasma guns dumping into more hordes than me with my las

#

exploding barely before meeting the enemy

whole moon
frank ether
#

nor does it cleave

sharp ember
#

chaxe lights sticking on hit could be cool but it doesn't hurt hard enough to justify it

frank ether
#

in the same timeframe I'll do one light with psword or d.claw and it will take out 3-4 chaff

sharp ember
#

nothing about chaxe hits hard enough to justify taking it over chsword

frank ether
#

I guess they want it to not be the same as chsword

#

but it needs buffs

sharp ember
#

my band-aid fix is normalize its maniac damage (it does less to them) and give it 200% carapace damage

#

make it a proper crusher can opener

#

thunder hammer flattens unyielding armor, let chaxe tear up carapace

frank ether
#

that and a little better cleave on heavies maybe

Brooo i have 87 plasteel and 2000 diamantine ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Fatshark give us an exchange PLEASE

I would use it.

frank ether
#

ok now you can exchance 1 plasteel for 1000 diamantine

grave cargo
#

15 plasteel here we come

sharp ember
#

sci fi building materials be like: plasteel, plas-crete, plasfiber, plasglass

whole moon
sharp ember
#

we could use some breakable glass in this game

#

shoot out some windows

grave cargo
#

Metal with the flexibility of plastic is a supermaterial in every sense of the word

#

It would allow things like space elevators to be possible and megastructures

#

Also it follows normal human naming conventions which is basically just "thing"

#

Steel just means "firm"

#

"Oh look I figured out how to make this iron stronger, it's way less malleable, pretty firm stuff, what should we call it?"

#

"Firm."

#

"Good enough let's ship it."

#

Going back to root words plasteel just means "firm plastic"

south prairie
#

Which isnt far from the canon truth as plasteel is uber strong plastic

are you trying to build a plasteel fortress over the plasteel ocean ?

why do you so much plasteel

terse idol
#

For a Columnus, do you want like Death Spitter and Dumdum?

junior needle
#

yes

terse idol
#

nooice

junior needle
#

Fire frenzy also works in place of deathspitter

#

The important one is dumdum

#

Because it's bugged and is actually way better than the tooltip implies

terse idol
#

oooh

#

Yeahh, I had the feeling

sharp ember
#

even if it did work as written it's still amazing

terse idol
#

I just picked up my old Columnus with dumdum again recently and this thing feels

#

GOOD

junior needle
#

So getting a damage boost only there is still uh

#

Well I suppose the IAG's don't have many good blessings do they

sharp ember
#

good enuff for when i barrel stuff a mauler/rager/bulwark

#

they have

#

the defensive blessings i guess

junior needle

#

rip autopistol btw

terse idol
junior needle
#

Autopistol is felt like dogshit when I used it in the talent patch

sharp ember
#

now inferior ammo, accuracy, and damage output compared to columnus

junior needle
#

I had a really good one too

sharp ember
#

but hey it staggers well

nimble sentinel
#

it also has the blessing that gives toughness if you magdump yeh?

junior needle
#

It really do be staggering

sharp ember
#

that blessing has been largely nerfed

junior needle
#

It has that, but honestly it needs all the damage help it can get

nimble sentinel
#

ah grody

sharp ember
#

it's like 50% toughness on a full magdump i reckon

junior needle
#

80% damage roll btw

forest scaffold
#

shooting an enemy that takes 300% melee damage

#

It'd be a more relevant test on flak machine gunner

#

or any of the regular elites

#

Fuck, even the maniac rager

#

because that's something that's an actual

thing

junior needle
forest scaffold
#

unless you approach the DPS of the enemies HP

timid otter
#

Shredder actually outperforms colomnus in maniac dmg

forest scaffold
#

Which is why I suggest the maniac rager

timid otter
#

But thats about it

forest scaffold
#

Its still high HP

forest scaffold
#

I still think the mutant is a particularly bad example though. Its not something you're gonna be shooting very often, or at all, considering its a recon lasgun

serene sage
#

@slow spade wait, a long long time ago we played together without even knowing each other
when we had the twin vet white outfit

polar breach
#

Mutie I never bother shooting with a recon. Maybe a revolver, but even then I know my odds of killing it before I can just melee it are slim.

forest scaffold
#

I mean, I shoot muties all the time KEKW_ogryn

#

I know what I'm doing though.

#

Which is the stark contrast being me and recon lasgun users

polar breach
#

I mean i just pretend to know what I'm doing.

#

It's why I use laspistol

scarlet beacon
#

laspistol, much like the revolver, has the power of it's raw swagger

#

justifies everything

junior needle
# forest scaffold I still think the mutant is a particularly bad example though. Its not something...

The mutie is just a convenient punching bag with high hp so lucky crits don't influence the dps testing as much. You can compare the dps to anything else in the maniac type using the numbers you get.

So with this, we can figure out that a recon 2 has about 481 dps, gray and talentless against maniacs at ideal range. Which is about 1/4 the dps of the columnus IAG by the same metric.

terse idol
#

Okay what if

#

Scavenger did the inverse, so it would give more ammo to weapons with low max ammo and less to weapons with high max ammo

forest scaffold
polar breach
#

Then every scav vet would run bolter, plasma, or revolver

forest scaffold
#

This is why I use the 7a

#

everyone shits on it cause "2 ammo per shot reeeee"

#

then cries about not doing any damage KEKW_ogryn

junior needle
polar breach
#

I use the recon because I have dogshit internet. If my internet was consistent I'd use a kantrael when I'm not using laspistol lol

forest scaffold
#

Cause I'm not shooting a pack of ragers with it

#

Its a full left side weapon

junior needle
#

Might I recommend an autofired mg4 to you instead

forest scaffold
#

I mean, I use everything

terse idol
forest scaffold
#

I'd rather shoot myself than slave away at one single weapon

forest scaffold
#

literal skill issue if you can't manage that

terse idol
#

it's not about missing

polar breach
#

I've been running the weapon swap keystone lately. Shits fun.

terse idol
#

I dunno maybe it's just the damage that I'm viewing

forest scaffold
#

No, I mean the 7a, or any recon lasgun, just outright isn't good

#

They're all ass

junior needle
#

I can confirm

forest scaffold
#

easily the worst ranged weapons in the game by far

junior needle
#

They are indeed all ass

forest scaffold
#

I think the only thing they're better than is the Krourk Stubber

#

Holy fuck is the krourk stubber bad

polar breach

The recon is the ranged weapon of the shovel

I'm still keeping any good ones I find for when stuff changes next but they do feel like ass in their lineup now

For the melee-ish builds, 3 toughness curios, right?

terse idol
junior needle
#

The crit only applies to the first shot

terse idol
#

Or well you probably want 1 curio with extra stamina

midnight mortar
junior needle
#

So you'll get more dps from firing faster, which still works, but you'll blow ammo faster too

It is

It's not a PS6

languid rose

What would you change about this Cadia Mk IV Assault Chainsword?
I want to keep Bloodletter +14 Bleed Stacks from Special Attacks.

However, I don't know what the best second blessing is for this:

Rampage Hitting at least 3 enemies with an attack, increases your damage by 36% for 3 seconds.
Savage Sweep Hitting at least 3 enemies with an attack, increases your cleave by 200% for 2 seconds.
Wrath +40% Cleave on Hit. Stacks 5 times.

#

Recon is not that good on ammo conservation as a regular or helbore

junior needle

Of course it depends on what difficulty you play at

delicate estuary

So, what curios go for mele? HP? one of each one? Stamina?

#

Oh

junior needle
# delicate estuary I only play aurics

Yeah, you'll see what I mean. Of course you could just be the guy suctioning all the ammo (as is recon tradition) so it may not be a problem for you personally. You'll also feel the low dps.

It stacking at range isn't at odds with the tooltip, but it apparently uses the code for a zealot talent where it gives a gradually diminishing damage boost based on proximity. According to the tooltip, you shouldn't be getting buffed damage outside of 7-8m.

The problem with the keystone lies in:

  1. The points it takes to get to them. Trim the useless fat
  2. Needed tweaks, particularly for left keystone
  3. The fact that FS put off including keystone because they wanted ones that didn't shoehorn you into specific weapons to make use of them, then eventually provided keystones that do exactly that.
    There are like 4ish decent builds around keystones, each benefitting from very specific weapons.

Bolter can use just a tiny bit more buff

It's quite strong, I would say A tier right now

But what about the ammo

Would love to see it in S- tier

PewPew mod will get me into servitor volunteer

Give me a way to reload it instantly like before

Without Survivalist it sucks yeah

It still sucks with survivalists

untold mulch

I could change plasma to las, but plasma is enough energy for my brain to be happy

lilac eagle

Depends what you're shooting at

pulsar drift
#

Maybe I am just too used to the old ammo refund

#

I only play aurics

#

And most of the time the ammo is not enough

serene sage
#

Well me too

lilac eagle
#

If you're targeting specials only, literally no way to run out of ammo. If you're targeting regular shooters and specials? Probably gonna have some issues if you're not sprinting around for ammo pick ups

atomic zephyr
#

have you considered using less ammo

pulsar drift
#

Nah

serene sage
#

I use Boltgun almost exclusively for Auric T5/Maelstrom

Itโ€™s like unless you leave some ammo alone

There won't be a mission where you simply don't run out of ammo

#

Its not possible

I am just to used to before I guess

Boltgun would love slightly faster draw, I would say 30% faster is fair and 17 bullet mag.

Draw?

Yup

lilac eagle

What like to take it out?

serene sage

Draw speed

Yeah

lilac eagle
#

Eeeeh

pulsar drift

Thatโ€™s the largest pain I have

Thatโ€™s why I run plasma gun

serene sage
#

No trust me Boltgun needs it to be more mainstream

pulsar drift
#

Which is better at all ways

serene sage
#

Just a little more

lilac eagle
#

If you swap weapons and hold down sights, as you've spotted a regular shooter about to take aim and fire at you, you will 100% of the time shoot first

potent iris
#

a bolter getting outdone by a revolver is pretty funky ngl

pulsar drift

I mean now revolver and plasma guns are way better

serene sage

It's not about DODGING them, it's about KILLING them especially mid horde

Try chasing down a trapper when it runs away

And report back

Number of enemies doesn't matter lmao

bitter turtle
#

If you're dealing with other threats then it's obviously way more clunky than quick swapping to revolver, popping them off and going back to other problems

At that point its more a case of how fast you can snap off headshots
