Combo'd with on elite kill you can reload extremely fast
To get 5% grenade on elite/spec kill since you have no demo stockpile
This is a high speed low drag build that lets me reposition extremely quickly
And reliably, and keep downing specials and shooters on auric as I do so
Which is kinda why I have the shared vision for allies, because there's a lot of specials
Would it be logical to get the same power sword but with a slight increase of stats?
it might be worth it to free up the blessing edits
New vet tree leaked
holy
Left one is a bit nicer, probably worth it tbh
You don't need to change the perks so you can save PC3 until you get PC4 to swap on it even
should put those extra nodes right after grenades, so you can't even get to upgrade Ult 
when does the pain end. when does power cycler 4 reveal itself
2025
You need to sacrifice at least 500 more psykers
PC4 is the rarest blessing in the game yeah
It comes just in time for FS to nerf Pswords again 
I hope they just give the PS 3 powered swings by default again and make the PC blessing do something else. Its stupid design atm but whats new
Want an expensive tip to increase your chance a little?
Stupid design is FS's motto
Fatshark is probably some sadist's pet project. Make games so fun that people will play them no matter what, and then make everything else insane and infuriating for no reason
What should I change on this?
Hit and Run to No Respite. Not sure what I'd do with the perks.
ah ty!
I dont think it does much to carapace right? probably roll that to maniac (or flak)
I'm new to shotguns and don't have many blessings
Well full bore is great so keep that! Nice roll btw
How does Scattershot work? Do all shots have to hit which increases crit chance?
does the lucius have access to infernus?
second question that is probably dumb, can the bayonet on the lucius trigger infernus?
Yes it does, I dont think the bayonet does but idk
damn
No it doesnt need all hits to land, but you get more crit for each pellet that does land in a different target
and since the incendiary shot has supermegacleave you can hit many enemies with it
like it goes until it hits geometry
another skill tree change? this is worse than astrologan in final fantasy 14
Ayy congrats
next question do the bayonets on the mk1 and mk2 lucius do different damage?
and that’s not the cover art helmet
It’s a very close look a like
the actual helm is in the files
as is the entire armor set
my best guess is they’ll be part of the next penance drop
Which more free cosmetics are always great
Nah I think they’ll be a separate set not requiring anything from the other penance sets
Same dmg
Beat each mission type on Auric
nice, i'll have to fnd a mk2 to try then
They are considered the like, main characters?
Cover character, whatever
They’ve been in most trailers
Auric is just a special playlist with higher difficulty modifiers though, it’s still the same scaling as regular heresy & damnation with same modifiers
yeah the vanguard sets are nifty
That is true, but it would be cool thematically
Having to knock out the hardest the inquisition has to offer to look like the best of the best
Aaah the farthuffer mk IX
It's so you can hear what your smelling. True Auric level operators use all their senses.
IMPERIAL WEAKLINGS FACE ME IN THE AMPHITHEATRE!
I'LL TAKE YOU ALL ON, BY MYSELF.
MY STIMMS! MY SPOILS OF WAR! THE TWINS! YOU WILL PAY FOR THEM ALL!
Next year, maybe, possibly, if Sweden doesn't get much snow.
so like. how big was me moebian 6th, you think?
Thousands to hundreds of thousands.
because even with like groaners and poxwalkers and the cult of whatever being lots of bodies between us and them to dilute how many we kill, we do still kill like a thousand plus bodies a mission before that dilution
Well, hive cities house like 100 to 500 billion people
We aren't running out of people to cut down for a while
And that's JUST Tertium Prime, one of the cities on Atoma which is one planet in the Moebian system
They are also probably recruiting planetside too
yeah we're not running out of groaners or poxers or possibly dregs any time soon, but ;ike unless they're recruiting, the scabs are limited
They probably are
The size of a Guard Regiment can vary wildly from region to region. Anywhere from 1000 to 10,000 or more depending. There's no real standardization given the scale of the Militarum and logistical reality of a given system.
10,000 scabs die an hour lmao
i'm aware there's no real standardization of number, but 10k tends to be on the upper end for a regiment and we've been butchering a laut
Us as we take the random stim we found in the random Dredge gutter next to a vent that was spewing purple gas
40K number scaling is always better if you add a few 0s to the end
^
I'm gonna theorize, big enough to have staged a coup and killed all the moebian 21st
Like the scale of just the hiveworld we're in is MASSIVE
We're like ants in comparison
.... Zola... Is that you?
Literally ants in a ant hill
I mean, you can't really take every single player's performance in the game as a 1:1 representation of what's actually going on.
Otherwise the setting just falls apart.
Well we take the canon route
Our rejects turn level 30 and do each mission perfectly the first time
A regiment is the primary organisational unit of the Imperial Guard, and of the Imperial Army ground forces before that. The size and composition of Imperial Guard regiments is not standardised across the Imperium; the number of individual Guardsmen alone can vary enormously between regiments, with some only a few hundred strong at founding-str...
unrelated question: what difficulty do you think is the closest to canon experience?
So a group of 4 is literally taking on hordes, and in theory the fights must be even harder
If we take an auric maelstrom mission as baseline for our character's skill and prowess. That is if they make it out alive. Then they are pretty much Ciaphas Cain tier.
Just poxwalkers alone can overpower a space marine if theres enough numbers of them.
auric damnation
anyone got a good build to use revolver on vet?
Middle and right side. Pick whichever flavor.
Scavenger is mandatory unless you are confident in teammates not scooping up all the ammo and you aren't wasting shots on trash.
i use left and middle tree for my revolver
ty everyody!
With Handcannon and good crit pen and damage on your revolver this 1 shots everything in the game except bosses
Feel free to change out if you want iron will
ELP ME UP
So many wasted talent points.
All of these were specifically chosen to perform optimally on auric
revolver doesn't need ET or reload speed, they're just nice to haves
Reload speed is pretty important when you have 5 shots and there's 9 specials trying to kill your team
Also this makes it very easy to pop 5 shooters, duck behind a wall, reload fully, then pop 5 more shooters instead of having to shoot mid reload to not lose ult
That's why you also build for melee with revolver and not waste ammo on basic shooters
yeah that's great but actually play the game and there's lots of times you can't just run into melee
again, its nice to have, but its not necessary
Especially if you don't have duck and dive to get you there
Also you can pen like
4 shooters in a row
Sometimes they clump up so nicely and you can liquidate an entire patrol in 4 shots
Keyword, "sometimes"
Usually once or twice a mission
There's a lotta shooters
Like I said, do what you want, that's just mine
You are better off going weapon specialist with revolver so you get free reloads and a guaranteed crit off melee kills
How many hours do you have
True, each bullet counts. Just don't miss.
hours =/= good
Do what you want, don't pretend this is some awful build when this shit is making Auric feel like malice to me
I only use the revolver for horde clear
you need shittier teamates for the true maelstrom experience
game is too easy with good teamates
More props to you if you can make that work but most people can't even aim and manage infantry rifles
One shotting crushers from across the map without putting any perks into ogryn killing gives me a mighty feeling of superiority
Two pops maulers out of ult too
That's just revolver being overtuned 
honestly, any build with the revolver will work alright, but ET and VA are not necessary, you could divert away from exec stance as well as marksman to pick up shout and iron will for additonal surviability whilst still keeping your damage
One message removed from a suspended account.
Well uhhh, that's where the power level gets funky
as well as deadshot for extra crit, bring it down, etc etc
Executioner's stance is what makes this build so OP
And I have surgical so I don't actually need more crit
my right tree build is my fav
but is it necessary? you can one shot reapers and bulwarks without exec stance
really I don't think atoma would survive if even 1 space marine set foot
Typically what takes down a space marine are like, chaos space marines, Big Tyranids
so the real value you're getting out of it is crusher deletion
If you spec into ogryn damage
Basically only a space marines equal
I'm getting a lot of weakspot damage as well
Can take down a space marine
Which helps shore up the melee a little
Pick up knife, serrate blade, uncanny strike, mercy killer, trench drills
Become a whirlwind
Not true, space marines die to basic shit all the time
The moebian 6th are all anti-infantry, space marine is super heavy infantry
This build isn't even like, fragile, beacuse you're regenerating a shitton of toughness and have a lot of DR
I don't think
where's that clip of two space marines struggling with some pox walkers
Really?
I mean it can't be too basic
I usually have least damage taken so Iron Will is a lot of investment for a loss of flexibility
I don't even have much DR on my curios
Space Marines are still made of flesh under the armor
I would think canon space marines can take down alotta shit
Fire cleanses all, even the flesh of the damned!
Get past the armor and the flesh will give
Space Marines are as durable as the story needs them to be
Well reinforced flesh
that's the one
That is the tough part
Because legendary space marines don't wear helmets
Either their skeletons are thick enough to bounce tank shells or they get shived to death by half starved children
There's basically no in between
nurgle blessed children
Yeah, that plot armour is real thick but will fail at weird moments
They will take alot to take down
Compared to guardsmen
Who 2billion die
And nobody bats an eye
You have to keep in mind
Because that was the first assault wave
40k was written in 80s rule of cool and is now 60 years of authors trying to one up each other
Yeah
Harlequins suffer from this even more than space marines do
If you see a bunch of space marines
they're gonna wreck everything
I'm gonna complain and be a massive nerd
If you see a bunch of harlequins they're going to job harder than guardsmen in a Tau book
Veteran Talent Tree Update: adding Keystones and several tweaks and changes to the Veteran tree (due to these changes, Veterans have seen their talent tree reset and players have to re-assign talent points)
when will it end
If you see one harlequin they're going to murderfuck everything in 100 miles
At best its a fananim
#warhammer #warhammer40k
All works used in this video belong to their respective authors
To make tension
An entire animated series dedicated to them on 40K+ 
Since everything is made up and the points don't matter
And most of the time the numbers don't make sense anyways
Don't think too hard about it
Seriously every time the Space Marines are deployed they lose like 10% of a Chapter MINIMUM yet they somehow still exist
1000 marines to a chapter lol
Oh the animated series with the guardsmen fighting in that trench?
isn't that one really bad
🥹
That's attrition rates that just don't make sense when you only have 1 million of the guy in a galaxy full of tens of trillions of people and they're somehow still everywhere even though they take 60 years to create
Man, are they going to reset all veteran builds again?
probably
I hope so I love clicking on buttons
Oh because their organs are salvaged later
😌
Can't waste good gene seed
isn't there a story about jacked up ogryns bullying space marines?
yeah does that also allow them to salvage 300 year old Space Marine bodies too
Yesss, and iirc that didn't have their armour on?
But I don't remeber
Cause there sure are a lot of those guys around despite them apparently suffering 300% casualty rates every decade
I know it won’t be hard to rebuild them but I have a lot so it’ll be a pain in the ass to do
Yes 40k in the logistics side of it is really silly
But I do like to think and try to make up how it makes sense
Listen, the most important thing is. That in the Grim Dark Future. There is only War
Like I would imagine only 5% or less of guardsmen will ever see a Marine
I mean, another thing is just, armor's value is heavily reliant on what you're fighting
And 0.001% will live to tell about ot
Because if you see a space marine while deployed
Skmething really bad is there
i probably wouldn't even say 5%, ngl
If you ever come across Tyranids suddenly armor ceases to exist
That requires a chapter to intervene
grey knights be like
Probably 1% or less
Even a basic bitch Tyranid can just slice through a tank with their toenails
And Eldar just shoot you in your weakpoints because muh accuracy
If anyone becomes aware of the Ordo Malleus or the Grey Knights it's a death sentence, the risks are too great
and those that see one get executed 
And everyone's favorite death robot immortals just shoot you with anti matter guns
Not anymore.
But if risks are too high of daemonic taint then witnesses are still purged.
Its just not good
Noblebright was a mistake
Cawl was a mistake
Gullibleman should have stayed in his crib
40K is still very much grimderp
You dont want to see a space marine because one moment you see them, the next your flesh is melting because THERE WAS CHAOS LANDING
Its so funny
40k should be grim dumb as shit
Stop giving people hope
The point is there is no hope
Without Rowboat Girlyman the imperium would have fallen after Cadia got ripped a new one
Eh, the Imperium has been collapsing for 10000 years
Would have been End Times 40K electric boogaloo
Yeah, well, without Ollanius Pious.......
Another 100 worlds getting annihilated would be a 0.27% drop in production
I want to see age of strife 2.0 electric boogaloo
The Emperor Protects
40k worlds
Khorne almost got into the Imperial Palace on Terra if not for Rowboat Gorillaman getting there
everyone shitting on guilliman for being a better father figure than the emperor could ever be 
shovelbros, what bless am i replacing here and what blessing should i go for? assuming that all or nothing is the one i want to keep. not perfect roll but probably servicable
Uncanny is pretty much mandatory on shovel if you want to kill more than just poxwalkers and groaners
that ok roll modifiers wise
replace limbsplitter with uncanny strike
and you are good to go
will do, thanks fellas
just understand that you get the most damage the less stamina you have with that setup
so do push attacks for armor
and during horde make sure you 0 out your stamina
well im running deadshot revolver as well so im usually out of stamina anyway
every few times
ye thats good then
how important is first target stat? am i missing anything having it at 60? other stats are just too good for me to pass it up
I'm roleplaying my scavenger aura
december
is there a specified date yet or just december sometime
'before the holidays"
real
first target is really good to have
just inspect the weapon
and hover it
doesnt look like its missing too much damage compared to maximum? not perfect but its not a low stat either i suppose
I'd also recommend decimator
And uncanny
Nobody tell them thanksgiving is a holiday
They operate based on Sweden's calendar.
swedish thanksgiving duh
Are there leaked infos or a preview of next patch?
Will revolver get nerfed?
no previews yet
there’s not any immediate reason to believe that
Maybe, I headcannon mught
and there was a fatshark forum post
Why
what does this mean
Hmm, what did it say,
why would there be immediate reason to believe that
Well okay let's step back and ask
I dont see any variations in auric
that doesn’t mean they intend to nerf it yet
It can very quickly melt crushers
High base damage, crit chance and armor pen
Yeah
I mean don't get me wrong, i like revolver but it seems ahead of most ranged options
i have a feeling what’s good about the revolver was a rhetorical
The next one we're getting is a revolver you can fan-fire
wtf is a new shovel mark gonna do, somehow be an anti-armor shovel? 
And I'm willing to bet
What will probably get nerfed is columnis
revolver and plasma currently are arguably out of band but we don’t have reason to believe they will nerf yet is my point
That it's going to be better than our current revolver
It might be
like, they haven’t implied it
See, here's the thing. Fanfiring implies it'll be fired a lot quicker. Knowing FS. That means it'll be reloaded quicker as well.
Ah okok I misinterpreted that as no reason to believe they're overturned even if slightly
Wouldn't surprise me if that's the case honestly
hordes are quite literally the only thing it’s not useful on and ammo is a non problem if you use survivor and also your brain
Whaat smmh
You have the slow firing, slow reloading heavy hitting crit revolver
and then the fan-firing, faster reload, better ammo revolver
It can be ammo hungry and your ammo isn't that high that it'll affect it more than say a columnis
Laspistol except the damage is dumped by every other upsides it has if any 
I dunno I'm just bias against columnus rn because it IS crazy
Crazy enough that I replaced it on my VOC pgun
I am not being immuned to suppression despite having the perk. I still shake around and go crazy
Suppression from bullets whizzing past you
Stun is from bullets hitting you
Sometimes I wonder if even the devs themselves know all od their own terminology
What' cha' mean
Plasma gun ammo can 100% be efficient. A good melee can deal with hordes and when good use of kraks you can save a lot of shots. A plasma gun with a full mag can take out a ton of targets, you can shred hordes of ragers and bombers and gunners
feels like a pretty cut and dry example here of someone not from fatshark knowing fatshark terminology here
No, cause they used the same damn terms for finesse in like four different places, and each time it means a different thing

Close order drill or vanguard as my last perk?
Lmao no way
The suppression immunity skill makes you resist the slowdown of being shot at but not from being show, while the zealot skill for no slow down when getting hit removes it from taking damage but not suppression
Finesse on revolver gives you crit chance, finesse on melee weapons gives you attack speed, finesse on your capstone gives you supposedly HS, but no crit chance. Finesse on your blessings gives you crit damage+HS.
finesse is either the damage modifier that affects both weak spot damage and crit (as a blessing) or a stat that is tied to a number of weapon stats like weak spot multiplier and attack speed
Close orders more, depending on your load out your sprint is good enough
where does revolver have finesse?
Wait I thought that was power modifiers
i think revolver has crit bonus technically
power is damage, stagger and cleave
Finesse on Rashad does more than just attack speed
It was changed after enough bitching to be just called Critical Bonus last I checked
Which is why I was complaining about "finesse" being in like 4 different places and meaning different things

Yeah best to inspect weapons and double check

Even in cases where the description is the same the ranges are different
Honestly, even when you can read the description, I 100% suggest just testing it out in the meat grinder, cause it's not always true what the modifier does
pretty sure old revolver crit modifier said melee crit chance instead of range crit chance
even though in effect it was ranged crit chance
It did also say that, yes
Maybe it wqs exclusively for bash

That would be sick actually
Specially if crit chance could affect stagger potential
You could just stagger a crusher with a revolver bash
You just grab your revolver, and stow it in your pocket when you crit
and instead poke the crusher in the eye with your finger
Does more damage ever
Sustained fire or surgical for the revolver
Surgical
Revolver crit is insane and you ahve a base crit of like 25%
So you only need 6-7 stacks to guarantee a crit
On this week be gaming
If you take the +5% crit talent you have a floating crit with the revolver of about 30%
Hadrons drooling
Dang
Hadron gonna brick that gun, just to get to chew on it
stamina infested crucian roulette 2 handcanon 3
You will get 1 pretty ok thing and rue the other 3 that are hot garbage
Now, Crucian roulette or hand Cannon
Hand cannon
handcannon
It's really not a contest
Crucian is dogeshiet after they reworked it
Surgical and Handcannon go together
never use it
It's not TERRIBLE
Again keep in mind your base crit chance with revolver is 25-30%
In any weapon or just revolver
Your own words are the only justification for why Crucian is dogshit on revolver
It's kinda ok on Headhunters the main issue is there's always just a better version of it
Headhunters get increased crit chance for not critting
Revolver gets Surgical
Crucian before? You sacrifice all the bullets in your revolver for guaranteed crits
If Crucian Roulette was the only crit talent it would be fine, fun, I guess, not the best but usable
Crucian now? Oh no, I reloaded, look at me, I'm a dead talent on a gun that only needs to shoot once per enemy

The main issue is just opportunity cost
Every weapon has like, two blessings that do the same thing but one is better and one is worse
Crucian is worse
The main issue is that the bastard doesn't do anything until the second shot, and that reloading actively screws you over
Hell, our right capstone is a better crucian roulette than crucian right now

Typically I empty my revolver every time I use it
Unless I'm saving one little bullet for 20% faster reload speed
On your 5th shot you get an extra 24% crit, which isn't the worst especially since that means your crit rate is at or above 50% buuuut yeah no it should be a higher modifier tbh
Hmm what if you get that weapons specialist node that reloads your weapon for a % of your max ammo when you kill in melee? 
Make it like, 6/8/10/12% crit chance on revolver and it would be good
That's pretty much what you do with revolver
Wait really?
Surgical would still be better but it at least would be competitive
Yes
I'd rather not tbh
Weapon specialist is about hot swapping
You shoot something for that juicy melee buff then go into melee
When the buff expires shoot something else and then go back into melee
You can also melee just to buff your ranged weapon if that wets your noodle
This is effectively the gameplay style with bottom right
Works best with slow firing, one-shot weapons (until they fix the potato code they used on the capstone)
Why what's the problem with it?
plasma, revolver, kinda shotguns but not really, and brautos all work pretty decently with weapon specialist
First stack of weapon ranged specialist is the only stack that matters
Kantrel shotgun's incendiaries apply double burn on crit
Oh
Wait why does only the first stack mater
It's the only one that gives you the crit buff, the rest only matter for a slight attack speed buff that doesn't work most of the time, or are specifically used for counting stacks on the subnodes, which most people don't take
jesus
The 10 stacks only matter if you take brautos
Fun fact: It's because they stole it directly from saltzpyre in Vermintide
and didn't really do anything better with it
What's brautos
Braced Autoguns
Braced autogun
Ah
And even then, I would never use a braced autogun.
My monkey ass brain was thinking brazilian autoguns
isnt the coluimnus v IA good atm?
Yeah it's fine it's just for NERDS
You can grab a white one and it'll outdamage pretty much everything
if I need to mulch a horde ill just use my revolver
Brauto 8 just has a lot of targets it'll pen through, esp with weapon specialist you can clear a room so fucking fast
Ah but you'll need exec stance for autoguns, no?
No
Brauto's don't benefit from exec stance
Most of the damage you get is for weakspots and brauto's are bodyshot weapons
Everything benefits from ex stance
Most of the time, I don't grab ex stance for the damage anyway.
You only get like, a 25% damage increase if you use exec stance?
Yeah
And most of your damage talents for sharpshooter are weakspot too
Or are Killzone, which requires you to not be near enemies to benefit
I thought that was mandatory for any non plasma/revolver weapons to work properly
So, not really optimal to take a brauto for sharpshooter, just a loss of syngergy and efficiency
You're getting 25% damage, weakspot. And more importantly, you get recoil reduction, spread reduction on your spray patterns and all the important shit you should be shooting at gets highlighted.
Yeah but you cant have voice of command
I'd argue colum needs the accuracy less than a braced does
Exactly
That's the main issue
Brauto isn't benefitted that much from the accuracy buff
I need my clutch to survive 
Have you played with randoms?
Exclusively
right, they usually need the crutch
I'd bring stealth if not voc for auric, but never exec stance
They don't need temp hp when I'm already killing the specials before they're on the screen

VoC is pretty ok but you NEED to still be doing damage
yes they do
When I'm zoomed with that ability I totally forget about my surroundings
bc a lone poxwalker is beating them to death from behind
If a lone poxwalker is beating them to death, your VoC ain't fixing them being dogshit
It's really frustrating, same with a psyker that exclusviely uses force lightning
yes it will
That's 1000% a skill issue and they need to die, to learn a lesson
Use your DAMAGE
You're just teaching them bad habits, that'll overall hurt you more later
It keeps them alive long enough for me to kill the poxwalker
Explode the pox buster in their faces so they die by your hands and not by their own
God I hope they remove Surge
Dude
Earlier today someone shot a poxburster and got a triple kill
On us
Skill issue
There were two of them and it instantly wiped all but him
Ive started putting distance between my team when I hjear poxburster beeps
Ppl keep shooting them when Im trying to push
Couldn't really help it too much we were in a small room
And two of em came through the roof
That's just t4 Player learning the game I think
I even shoved it safely the first time but it did that weird thing where like, it didn't explode
I've never seen that shit in t5 and thankfully every random I got in auric was a good Player that knew what they were doing
Something about them not locking on to the player they're closest to and not activating as a result
Also this was in Auric


He was just having a bad game I think, he later died and left after saying sorry
Fair
I had a DOGSHIT game at the start of this but later pulled through
I went around a corner, vent purge, and saw a red dot so I shot it
Then I instantly died
Because there were actually 3 snipers and I took 2 to the face
60% of my games as zealot are me dashing towards a trapper, getting trapped, beaten up and rage quit the game out of frustration because I can't control my gotta go fast syndrome
Also died to a poxbomber that still got me even though I shoved and dodged back, idk, movement felt wierd
So I can totally understand the sentiment
But then I also nearly singlehandedly cleaved through a horde while someone else was dead with my fucking ranged build
Ive had so many people going so insanely slow lately
All my T5's and Aurics are with players playing worse than bots
I feel like Im losing my mind
So I just put the game down for now till Vet tree stops being so.... shanked in the kidneys
God is it just me, or is that blast furnace finale still a bit overtuned
Enemies just spawn faster than you can kill them
Nah, I feel the furnace finale is arguably one of the more fun ones that I enjoy
Yeah samr
You either speedrun that shit or it turns into a 10 minute slog because it just floods the map with chaff
You just sit there and kill everything
During is fine, so long as the team sticks together
It'll pop out 20+ dudes from 5 doors every 10-15 seconds it just gets excessive
3 of us just got locked in a 5 minute long horde clear here
I hit a new combo
155
Before we finally cleared all the adds and could do the demon
Psyker got cliffed and then INSTANTLY died because like 8 poxwalkers were standing on the ledge and gibbed him before we could do anything lmfao
Anyone got any tips on getting the overwatch penance done? I have no friends so I've just been quick playing
git gud
Also lucky
Barrels don't count against you, just take a good dodge weapon combo and probably stack toughness stuff if you're really struggling
Shoves are your friend, and just listen for the audio cue.
If you hear it coming immediately block and dodge
And hope you dont run into such bullshits like rager swarm or gunner swarm
Sometimes I don't even look at the screen exactly, I just listen to the audio and pay attention to how many active dodges I have left
Didn't know that about barrels and definitely need to shove more, I try to dodge but half the time even going directly opposite direction of enemy they still hit.
I'll make it 3/4 through most missions without getting hit and then get slammed by a pack of BS spawns
You can't play this game blindfolded exactly, but learning to reflexively dodge when you hear an attack coming is critical
Usually it's ragers
When you see ragers just start immediately backpeddaling
They'll whiff their combo if you just dodge backwards while blocking as soon as they start
Dodge twice back while blocking, then swap to your ranged weapon, continue dodging backwards and shoot them
I found ludicrous amount of both its not even funny
If there's multiple on you, keep blocking and dodging backwards
Ragers don't do as much stamina damage as other enemies so you can block a lot more ragers than you think
Don't try to melee ragers generally
It huuuuurts when there's like 10 ragers backed up by the heavy gunner dudes
They basically have melee hitscan
You can dodge some of their attacks but the timing window is very small, and some attacks can't be dodged period
That explains alot I always get f'd trying to dodge them
They just have very high stagger resist and extremely fast, tracking attacks
Uea ragers also have stagger resist that can pose a problem to even ogryns
You can also consider taking Stealth and popping it if you see packs of ragers
But once they start their combo they get locked into it, and it slows them to a crawl
Holy shit I didn't even think about taking stealth 😅
Imo, voice of command into iron will is the easiest way to get the cheevo
But stealth is also just fine
Yea voice of command is pretty good with extra toughness enhancement
it depends on what you have trouble with really
Pop it on every engagements
Pop it off cooldown
Well you probably aren't seeing 10 specials every fight so you probably aren't getting it every 7 seconds
Remember, it's a hard stagger, so if you get hit, immediately ult
It'll stop any extra hits from coming in and refill your toughness
Right, gonna try a few more times with these new tips, been using VoC and it works great until half my team just, y'know is gone across the map somewhere
If I keep failing I'll try stealth.
My problem is a mixed bag of Australia internet, I'm not that great at the game mechanically and when I'm on top of those things the game shits on me with spawns of things.
You mean to tell me the overwatch penance is avoid taking melee damage?! Not just avoiding being hit altogether?
what is your melee weapon of choice? that can also change your performance
If you're feeling social, you can try to get a group in lfg specifically for the penance. There are a lot of kind people in the discord who are willing to help. I got an ogryn player who just babysat me the whole mission before the class rework.
Bruh that hurts my soul I'd have it by now 😂
Thought it was at all so I just go ham after getting hit one time
plasma deals flak damage to maulers on headshots?
Maulers helmets different armour to the rest of them
I think
🤔 plasma so strong it loses armour value? Lol
Plasma does a weird thing where it takes the general armour value no matter where you hit
So bulwark shields being impenetrable count as unyielding now
no im testing it, every other enemy it works as id expect it to,
Hm that is weird
oh yeah btw is the limbsplitter bug patched yet
should i cop this or nah
so how does damage corollate to health? or is the wiki just out of date?
like this crusher seems to have about 3500 health as i kill it, yet the wiki says 2550
is that a fandom wiki? it's probably outdated as hell
elite hp was buffed like patch 14
That looks like the pre-13 hp even lol
your estimation of 3500 should be correct
i can charge two body shot a crusher without the cara 25% if my math is right, and as i just figured out plasma counts mauler headshots as flak, so cara serves no purpose?
but i cant oneshot head a crusher without a crit with cara anyway
We might get the traitor curse pt2 update next week?
Its just displaying the wrong armor type. But its still being treated as cara
This depends on the build. Plasma with no perks at all can one shot crushers with some setups.
it seemed to randomly do 3600 occasionally
but maybe not reliably?
i didnt mess with it much
honestly still need a plasma build
I mean
have a gun laying about but no build for it
After talking with some folks yeeesterday
It may be better to run unarmoured?
At least, in the theory to oneshot Gunners, who are more important 
Charged shots just peirce Carapace though doesn't it?
depends if you wanna take the extra second to align your shot or not
Not with no Charged shots
goes through all armor last I checked
I don't actually use charged shots
Last I heard, There was a build that uses +elites and +unarmored. Sounds like a weird setup but it makes things very reliable with a certain talent allocation apparently.
yeahh
I think that's the build I was talking about yesterday learning about it
plasma is more so a high dmg backup for me rn
because left clicking on a gunner on a one shot is huge
Oh, I mean, you should probably charge on crushers

usually 2 left mouse are enough for crushers
Oh that's good
and before I can personally kill them my Buddy takes care of em
with his pskyer
or crusher eats krak
Plus psykanium is good and all but doesn't really reflect ingame
so it's whatever to me really
that being said my most played gun is the MG 4 lasrifle so ignore me when It comes to plasma guns
Well it's good for that vacuum, I WILL SAY, eh, imo, it's a little redundant to run Plasma + krak, but it's preference
I mean that's fiine
We gotta theory craft it out, you already got the blessings
smoke tho lmao
It''sss fine for what it is
Smoke doe
Smoke is great.

It's tough
shrug
Sniper's don't care about the smoke and that hurts too much
I don't have issues with it and it's saved my squad multiple times in Auric
Oh no for sure
so smoke is a good thing in my book
which is something that needs to be changed
Maybe I'm too negative about smoke the issue being, just killing the problem is strong
well considering most Randoms I meet on Auric tier can't even kill normal shooters or gunners
smoke saves my ass 99% of the time
is this one good? 😄
that's faiir
brb need to drive lol
Would definetly replace curio mission rewards, and tougness regen speed but hell yeah

Best if sniper res was maxed, but good enough, imo
Quality of Life: among several tweaks and fixes brought to the game, we have adjusted the Veteran talent tree based on player feedback to make the keystones quicker to reach
are they finally buffing us vet? 
wHERE ARE YOU SEEING THAT
The second part of the Anniversary Update lands before the winter holidays! We are excited to announce that we will be releasing The Traitor Curse - Part 2 before the winter holidays! Continuing the first anniversary celebrations of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, this second part of the free anniversary update adds new features, addi...
Keeeeeeeeeen
First of all: vet is currently stronger than it has ever been outside of old unwavering and pinning fire, so idk about "finally" lol
Second of all: Yes, yes we are.
though by the wording, seems like they just moving the taxing nodes around 🤔
How bad was vet I only just started lol
not bad, i'm just being dramatic 😄
Vet's had some weird design struggles but they've literally never been "bad"
Oh ok pretty fun if you have ammo
On an unrelated note, I slapped my PC for making weird sounds
well vets get infinite ammo so that shouldnt be a problem lol
Lasgun with the right perk
anyway I'm trying to make a good plasma to use. is this look ok?
I think it’s good
Also refer to the pinned messages for charge rate and how it affects damage, something to keep in mind with plasma guns.
Best way I've found to use Smoke has been with Exe' and the node for team highlights, but it is very cost-heavy to do currently
It’s beautiful
you need gets hot and blaze away
That thing...
the numbies are alright on the mods
Iirc, you need 80~% TR, to get 9 shots on left click?
But critical chance and Sprint efficiency ain't good
This is disturbing. I hope it's photoshopped
I'd probably hold fire on spending millions to make a plasma right now
who knows what the next patch will bring. maybe they will finally fix that bug
so I checked the damage / charge rate list for plasma, but I can't find my damage number (587) on the chart
So I saw a veteran with a long coat today. I thought it was a new cosmetic out in the store, but apparently it isn't yet. Where the heck did he get it.
It was this one.
Has that ever been released?
I think I remember the story on it, if I am wrong someone please correct me:
Aquilas store glitch, it was available for like half a day
No ways. They should've just left it at that point.
not my delicious ass rice I can tell you that much
you telling me an ass fried this rice
I'm wondering if this guy is cheating or this was some kind of mistake now.
Because its not actually ready lol. Look at those pauldrons. Everyone hates it when theys ell unfinished cosmetics, and for good reason.
aww what the
This skin gets the big bag
But they squished the Krieg bag

At the express behest of the players who didnt want it to clip anymore. Funny that
Didn't stop them before
Yeah so? You want them to keep doing it? 
Current ogryn pauldrons clip onto his OWN SHOULDER
It's not a weapon or some hard to determine collision
it just clips onto itself
Which one? You can report it. They've been adjusting some of them.
intermission: how are we classifying ogryns?
Himbo
Himbo except the Bully
Bully is an ork. Change my mind.
No, Bully is ogryn of few words. Orks always yapping their WAAAAAGHHH
Bully always looking for a fight.
ogryn's constantly talking about rations
constantly looking for food
ogryns are tyranids confirmed
Orks da bestest and meanest there is.
where's the weak spot on a carapace armored enemy?
Are we talking mauler or crusher?
That too
both
lucius mk3 can kill crusher/maulers less than 3 shots at the head
Mauler, aim for the chest. That's just flak.
usually it's a matter of using a carapace piercing weapon like plasma or hellbore, maulers have flak chest which sometimes means center mass has higher dps than the head
columnus mk v infantry autogun
Ah
Crusher, aim for head. because the whole body is carapace anyways
transcendent if that matters
ye body shot mauler, headshot crusher
was trying to go for a sniper vet build but i dont have enough stuff unlocked to make it work in pubs
but at that point imo just use a combat axe or powersword to deal with them if close quarters
even a backstab rending knife

#veteran-class message try that with a hellbore, infantry las will work too since there are kraks
Mk1 & 2 will offer better ease since its melee and charge speed is good
but basically carapace is actually good armour, you'll need armour penetration from one of your weapons
mk3 will definitely put down the bigger ones easily
yea i gotta farm and level up a lot more
kraks are old reliable, regenerating and a perk rather than gear
big weak rn
danke schon
fiending for when i unlock it
im not in the skill bracket where i can use a revolver reliably and have my team pick up slack lol
Rip
You could justify headshots on a mauler with plasma, I must test
Pretty similar ttk no?
yeh that would be the "sometimes" in play, if your gun pierces carapace go for their heads
Hmm
if not, tits
Best solution to carapace is to axe them a question
"gonna use this shovel to dig your grave, then imma use it again to put you in it"
I do like tits,
They are quite the beautiful bird species
helbores or kantraels?
Personal choice
Kantrael can offer versatile engagment thanks to fire rate and handling
want to focus more on killing specials than mowing down waves
hellbores have high damage and useful bayonets, take forever to swap to and the sights take some heavy learning
Helbore mk1 & 2 are harder hitting and can somewhat deal with carapace but have slower handling
I like kantraels because the swap time on hellbores hurts
mk3 hits even harder but slower charge speed to account
kantrael has a flashlight and great rof, no carapace piercing
Foolishness Dante,
You do not swap at all
That's what's the knife's for

fair enough LMAO
only problem I get with mk3 is how the action is a poor hacking motion but in bayonet training you have to hit them with the stock then smack em down with the bayonet
They can keep the hacking motion but I want my buttstock stagger for easy headshot melee
Wait a tick...
Wtf FS. We have these in the game. Why did you give us moonboots??
Lmaooooo
Which ranged weapons are useful against carapace? Helbore, revolver, bolter, is there something else?
Not so much for Boltgun since you have to shoot at least 8 rounds if not proper build with hipfire
other than plasma? Nothing much, you could get lucky with autogun crits
Still deal pretty hard damage esp if you stack onslaught
Oh yeah, I've completely disregarded plasma
Should maybe give it a go at some point too
Consult the pinned comment if you want absolute efficiency
Charge rate does funky stuff
I've gotten so used to helbore I have trouble with other weapons
Helbore is hecking stable gun ngl
The 73% thingy?
lol yah that was me before discovering the agri brauto
Yarp
Okay. That straight up proves we haven't gotten the last set of penance gear.
Mines at 64% it hasn’t let me down
Nothing like pressing special attack and turning the flashlight on instead of bayonet poke in Ragers face
We already knew that months ago though.
The launch trailer cosmetics which we don't have.
But when will it come out. 
Summer next year would be my guess.
I'm presuming by then they'll have fleshed out enough missions for the next batch.
Oh, there's more than one version of it.
I take it one of them is going to be docket shop purchase.
5 million
Laspistol is such a funny weapon
I wish my best one wasn’t in my zealots hands
Casual 100k boss damage with a build intended to be support
No grenades needed
I was using Frags
Yeh las pistol be like that, fear the crit rate
Good counterfire weapon too, even with point restrictions
If they're fixing the problem then laspistol's gonna soar
The psyker version of the ogrynomicon already sings its praises, it’s their highest boss dps
Las Pistol was one of the two weapons to get buffs in patch 14 that did not need it at all lol
the other being the Revolver
Speaking of which, when are we going to make the infantryman’s primer to darktide?
When Veteran's weapon synergies and talent trees stop being reworked every month.
I'd love to do a video version of it. It's just an enormous project
And actually stabilize into something consistent.
also what PC said
it's not a bad time to be doing Vet guides because of constant patching
We're still in a major state of flux right now.
Out of all the classes, Veteran has been on the higher end of major fundamental rewrites.
Are changes confirmed?
Last patch in a while? Yes. Last update? No. Keep that coming.
yes, via blog
Considering we didn't even have keystones before.
Yes. #📢news-bulletin
Changes to vet tree is the big one.
I've played them, they are good changes
New weapons.
Ty fam
Like, specific ones? No, but the keystones will be supposedly easier to reach
I think Vet is in a very good place as of next patch
HOO BOI
I'm bracing for the monkey's paw.
I'm worried if that means they had to move our passives around again.
you guys have such little faith lol
Damn thing might be curling all 5 fingers into a fist in my ass.
Imagine if they remove Superiority Complex/Bring it down

every patch to vet tree has improved it
even the last one
boring builds
but still a net gain
cant blame us really
https://discord.com/channels/727074276724965407/1046913589614747719 of course we do, you're in the wrong channel
idk I think 3 straight patches of buffs on the trot should spell it out lol
I played VT2 at launch. I played DT at launch. I'll have faith in Fatshark's balancing decisions when they show they understand the fundamentals of what they're balancing for.
Psyker.
Hence why I said "on the higher end".
admittedly I have more information that most but I'm happy with the process
i really don't like Psyker after patch 13
unpopular opinion, but I think they got the worst tree
boring mechanics, boring design. a lot of power, for sure
I probably should level my ogryn but I just miss clicking on heads too much
but just a very un-interesting class now, especially compared to what they could have done
vet's been eating good even if it was harder to get that meal
I hoped Smite would turn up not being as one-dimensional as it is
I want my brauto rambo build back tho
It’s a glorified stun “stick”
like what are the 3 branches of Psyker? Old psyker, but worse, boring passive psyker that doesn nothing but hold smite and shield, and then uninspired gun psyker which is just "we have veteran at home"
Ogryn do click heads
just with biig stick
or "we have veteran at home but he's a recluse acid head"
but then I gotta get close and Nurgle be stinkyyyyy
Give em the good ol hand
it could have been so cool
with zealot I have the powers of god and anime soap by my side
imagine if you could pick people up with it and launch them
AND all my head clickers!
or if there was a secondary effect to the lightning
honestly Psyker is just a class full of half baked, half realised ideas
as a psyker tzeench clicks all my heads for me there's no fun in that
Psyker is your local waltuh white giving the heretics the blue shards
Psyker named Finger:
That's a really nice looking backpack.
It’s the scions backpack
Main issue with the current design for this i think is vet has a LOT of power invested up in headshots, so having raw power increases that can stack on top of that will blow othet guns out of proportion, and its hard to buff the base gun cos zealot brauto is in a great place atm and doesnt need buffs.
Just saw this and was thinking the same thing, a tempestus scions armour set would be cool
I think its one of those guns thats just better on zealot than vet
And... thats fine?
or Agri Brambo is now a zealot build?
If tempestus are coming to tertium then shit really did hit the fan
Best we'll get is a backpack that costs Aquilas.
agree
and it is fine
I don't know if you noticed but...the fan has definitely been shitted on
Vets have 3 flavours of IAG they shred with
there's a Nurgle cult taking over THRONESIDE
Gotta Hold Aegis station again I suppose
y'know I find it odd how the rejects were able to clear and hold ground but somehow operatives cannot do so
James of house Workshop and the power of named characters
Trained Inquistorial operatives vs a prisoner that been through shit
we are ultramarines with more trauma than helmets
If Morrow is your mission handler for Enclavum Baross, he notes that he's not expecting to hold the station forever.
And that it's more to make the Heretics redirect forces and waste time.
how many lives man
Yes
how many lives spent for 10m of ground
well most of em are heretic blood
mans forgot who the Imperium are
We must be miserly with lives for we have nought to spend
A war of attrition is what the Imperium does best.
6 seconds · Clipped by drbeefcakes · Original video "BADAB WAR FINALE: THE ONLY REWARD FOR LOYALTY IS BETRAYAL | Warhammer 40k Lore" by Adeptus Ridiculous
if every reject mission kills are ~1000~2000 kills and already millions of missions have been done
Ngl I feel like the Kantrael lasguns need something right now
one of your faves no? 😄
The Heretics have much more limited manpower and are in a race against time.
They feel... meh
Aye
That is reasonable
idk mate I reckon the Kantrael 1a is just fucking insane atm as well
If the full might of the Imperium stirs to crush this rebellion, the Moebian 6th know they stand no chance.
