Boxfed autogun not stubber, stubber be a steroided 50. cal
I don't mind hotshot lasguns out working other weapons
But fatshark probably cares more about balance or something
Yes stubber m1 variant
if they did they wouldnt of released the kickback buff back in part 1 lmao
Well they do in a sense
Now fire melts Hp faster than you could say "Buyers remorse"

i love new fire
Idk maybe make it so they have to stand still to use hotshot/backpack fed guns
fire is great
And not being able to dodge
what blessings do i want on Vraaks VII
not being able to dodge sounds like it would kill it

Still hate zealots yoinking ammo
That'll be one of the ways to justify it having a damage output way outclassing other weapons
Surgical and Deadly accurate
Really nice pairing
Wait so rending is based on the unarmored damage value?
hmm seems like standing on fire disables the overshield protection against bursters and the like even if you have overshield
Me using lasgun with the first magazine still attached
You gonna use that?
Since people switching out to the quickdraw revolver, I've been reclaiming my spot for medium-long range security.
Ma! I'm relevant again!"
'me fan firing everything and taking ammo to keep the yeehaw vibe going'
What do you mean by that?
or maybe iron will stopped taking effect and I didn't notice the fire taking all of my overshield
My man is making some hot takes

So 20% rending on a weapon that does say 500 damage to unarmored but only 2 damage to carapace would then do 102 damage?
Trust me helbore barrel gets hot on rapid fire
Now my gloves melted onto my hands
if the weapon does 100% damage to unarmoured, then yeah those numbers would be correct
weapons have a base damage, and unarmoured counts as an armour type as well
so if the weapon deals 140% damage to Unarmoured, then those numbers will be off if you're using the damage to unarmoured as your baseline
how hard would it be for them to let us ping barrels like we do ammo and stims and the like? Right now we cant ever shoot them or warn people they were attacked
Interesting, okay. Which I assume it would, barring notes under stopping power or etc.?
and I would like to shoot them to do the aoe
it's a bit whacky since quite a few weapons do != 100% to unarmoured
I am a melee veteran that puts zealots to shame
wouldn't know
since bayonets rule
My understanding of how rending works is that it takes the rending % and applies it to whatever % damage that weapon does to the armor you are shooting.
So 80% vs flak with 20% rending would be base damage.
Stopping power and Penetration affects only armored enemies iirc but stopping power improves impact for stagger as well
at least for guns, it's pretty simple since the damage number on the weapon card usually indicates its base damage
Curious. Difficult to tell without testing then unless unarmored is specifically noted somewhere ingame, or I guess if code is available
unless the weapon's name has "infantry autogun" in its name

no wait
i'm getting it mixed up
the infantry autogun has the correct number on the card
just that if you inspect the damage value, it makes no sense
Oh boy. Okay, interesting, thanks for the rundown Arcotash. So in theory, the weapon card value can be used for calculations
so rending against crushers makes carapace perk useless?
lame
i mean not useless but
If you have enough of it.
you get the point
+damage to armour types is multiplicative
Assuming it matches unarmored anyway
This is same case for helbores vs carapace

i wish it used the carapace dmg and just gave it penetration
instead of unarmoured stuff
Hmmm yes my 400 dmg is 13
A lot of weapons have such shit base carapace modifiers that even a decent bit of rending only gets you to ok output
Somehow my mods are all ded
not big souprice
What a procedure honestly lol. It's one thing to have automation but this is pretty buried
what did you do to gully
intuit the weapon's characteristics through the morphogenetic field
It's a lil hard to understand sometimes but I think all these different armor types and hit zones is actually better overall.
Armor types were a lot simpler in VT2 and it was over centralizing sometimes.
it's even tougher for melee weapons, because the number on the weapon card only indicates the damage of the first attack of the light/heavy combos
Like it was just x% vs armor
Man the rager changes made them a tad frail
so if there's an attack in the combo that has a different damage profile, you have to do some guesswork
2k hp is not alot
what is the caveman short tldr difference between the 2 revolvers? 
Just consecrated this. Thinking of changing the Sprint Efficiency perk. Blessings, though?
otherwise same in dps?
You can look at all of the different swings in the attack breakdown. If you click on them it pulls up the whole table for all armor types
Yea this is like 6% off where it should be even assuming that inspect number is supposed to be post-calc which it obviously shouldn't be
??
Nah different dps since standard has better dmg profile but yeehaw got the flair
fuck, yeehaw got such a swagger though
Tell me the secrets fatshark
sure, but that doesn't tell you the base damage explicitly
Agripinaa revolvo cant benefit from surgical if shooting too fast
Finally 3 x 3 stamina
And better to use standard if using surgical
2 x 3 stam is great for the new revolver if used with deadshot ofcourse
I think handcannon gonna be real strong on this
Ofc
you can make a fairly educated guess and be right 90% of the time, but there's still some room for error
ive done so many consecrations and keep getting the same 4 blessings
handcannon avoids me
đ
Agri has much much better DPS because of it's higher rate of fire. But it's breakpoints are worse because of it's lower damage
Well now I can anyway, as best as anyone can I guess ha. Thanks again for the breakdown
handsy schmancy
Also the agri has less cleave which is relevant a surprisingly large amount of the time
you just aim point shoot
This this is the problem
Trick shooter is gonna be great on it
waz cleave 
I have trouble killing flamers inside a party
Penetration to hit more
But gentleman.
augh
ok
A fine work
Oh that's sexy
Sheesh, been waiting forever for Melk to give me one of these blessings for chainsword.
can do you one better
Meh
Cleave is the ability for attacks to punch through one enemy and still hit the ones after it.
it was my first 380
Unfortunate
Hm. Could be worse.
man the embeds are bad now lmao
thas true dakka
Help a lad out, though, will ya
Don't know if this sucks or not
Wanna maybe change the Sprint Efficiency.
people usually swear by flak/maniac since it covers a majority of the big thigns you wanna kill fast
its bad
The blessings ain't good.
the blessings though are rough
Yeah, it's what I'm thinkinh
base stats arent great either
We love RNG
you dont need stability on helbore you need stopping power
praise be to hadron
Did not even look at stopping power đ
Has anyone had a chance to experiment much with the new chainsword? How different does it play?
Damn right you are
You need reset blessings
get one with stopping/damage above at least 75
I'm wacky about RNG, love it. My grandma died loving it and so will I
It's okay. You'll get there.
FUCKER
At least you're not waiting for Power Cycler IV.
(Well.. Actually you probably are.
)
Nice but mine has flak bc I alreqdy 1 shot reapers with focus
The
yeah its joever anyways dw and start over
lmao

So joever
Dave
Lol you know what would be a funny 'flex' to all the new vets? Everyone just starts posting their power swords with PC4
đȘđȘđȘđȘ
Dat plasteel
Always the fucking plasteel.
I founf pc4 on a mk3 powersword

waiting for the update that makes diamantine relevant
Wanna borrow?
Impossibru
Wait how did I get this outfit, anyone know?
You played on release
This is my best weapin
The pinning fire nerf from way back when reduced its effectiveness considerably across a wide variety of targets. It's still good against maniacs, but it's not even the best there, and its overall performance is clearly inferior to other guns.
It takes more than good damage to one type for a good weapon.
Oh, did they give me my aquila too
It was a gift from FS. Payment to PC community for giving xbox community aquilas on release while we got nothing.
No
part of the 'sowwy we gave $40 of aquillas to new console pwayers'
Nah cosmetics only
Ah I think I'd prefer 40 dollars of aquillas
nice, always love loading into a game just as the knife zealot runs ahead ot aggro the dh and then leave
what a griefer

the more thigns change the more they stay the same
What kind of ppl do you match with
i hit the qp and let it ride
Had that once, and we killed the DH no problem.
Oh whoops, wrong video. This is the one.
we probably could have won, but the guy left immediately
i think it was a griefer!
bah i dont wanna work, i wanna stay home and yeehaw heretics or, and im yelling at my friend for this, forkknife'
only way to go. sometimes you get a mess sometimes youg et the cleanest run known to the god emperor
This is my highest rated weapon.
Melk, why.
Just feel sad it's a Devil's claw.
Gimmie melk bucks for gatcha
augh went into damnation forgetting skill trees were reset
man this is the second cable I killed playing darktide

Knife zealots have made me need to differentiate between "good" and "skilled"âGood if they stick with team and can hold themselves well. Skilled if they're annoying little shits that abandon the team to speedrun and survive on their own.
You want to buy a Skaven without a clan?
pusfume my tolerated
this rat doesnt look very ideal for claw grip, pls different shape
I canât take this shit seriously

Knife gunners in the back pick off roaming specials and shooters regroup
All in 10 seconds

I mean read this shit and tell me yâall thoughts
Lol no skill player posting clearly.
i mean maybe keep the turret idea, but give it to a skitarri class
Sentry goin up
Is this fucking risk of rain all of a sudden
He needs minions to make up for his crap ability.
Mini vet summon...
RATLING SNOIPA SUPPORT
Not even my fucking post just found this crap in the darktide group that Iâm in on fb
Ah fb
Just close it
âif not for the first timeâ brain worms
Kek
Man som ppl get their info from a cereal box for darktide
people are mad sometimes.

me watching the other vet jump directly on top of the daemonhost i just marked
in auric damnation btw
Brilliant
peopel wanting 2 guns meanwhile i play ogryn with shovel and rock and ignore my gun for like 90% of the mission
Minions would be dank honestly, I was hoping the squad leader tree/subclass would have them
I have minions
it just so happens
they are my teammate ogryns
I spot something and they make it disappear
i was playing vet with 3 ogryn yesterday and i felt so safe
'its wild, i mark a target then 2 seconds later i see 3 rocks go in that area and suddenly the mark is gone'
then one blundered straight through a known demonhost unforced and we lost immediately
Damn thatâs funny
Though apparently there was code found that indicated abilities linked to AI henchmen of some variety. Whether or not that is indicative of anything we will ever actually see, probably not
ogryn moment.
just lore accurate dw about it
Anyone got advice for getting On Overwatch? I'm pulling my hair out trying to get the penance. xD
Accept that it's basically RNG
Just found out that if you try to use a health stim while at full health you do this
get it back when vet had the stand still to significantly reduce threat? fr though idk
I hate saying skill issue but only fuck that is a massive skill issue
''see that sniper?''
''yes sah?''
''I don't want to''
never a bad game when you have an ogryn in the team. 2-3 its a party
I wish I got the penance in an achievable way. It was literally three psyker chads carrying my ass
Usually a good idea to bring a gun with penetration though ^^
thatd be your job. or just go with accuracy through volume. whatever works
idk man i play destiny with sweet business in pvp i am not qualified for it
nah its just that I'll be shooting targets through the ogryns bodyblocking me lol
Vets are for cleaning ogryns bib when he's done eating
I feel like they made the bayonet stab on the Lucius lasgun more powerful
Nah Im just the mess chef
that was a few patches ago
thatâs because they did
Really? I didnât notice
Ye
they also spared brutal momentum
Probably because I havenât played sniper in a while
someone in the dev team
had mercy on me
they know my kind is going extinct
fatshark giveth
they did gut the limbsplitter interaction though, that was too stupid
plasma twin just gassed me into a flamer and bomber stack :(
What does celerity stimm even do? I think it just makes the world blue
if they let me have the agri volver and another rifle
celerity increases attack speed and move speed?
i'd take it all the damn time
Celery stim makes you go fast

I canât see through the blue haze
had the twin who goes full sandevistan earlier.
more attk speed and reload speed
Itâs like somebody hotboxed a bottle of macragge blue whenever I take it
Celery is famously the quickest fibrous green
plasma gunners and psyker staves go faster too iirc
âCelerity Stimm
Lasts 15 seconds.
Increase in Reload Speed 15%.
Reduction in Stamina Costs -25% for Pushing, Blocking, -50% for sprinting.
Increases Attack Speed by 20%.
Increase the following by 25%:
Charge up time of Plasma guns, Psykerâs Brain Burst and Psyker Staves.
The speed of which the Psykerâs Smite propagates between enemies.
Speed of which the Psyker can throw Shards using Assail.
Speed of which the Psyker Quells their Peril.
its bugged accoring to ppl here and it increases the charge rate/peril instead of decreasing itâ
Soemone should pin this
Mmmm yummy stims
mm yes the speed pots are back

everytime i get a stimm that's not a med stimm i just stab it into the nearest ally
Lmao
actually i do that with med stimms too
Bruh
give me the ability one. i wish to scream a bunch
I like tossing med stims to teammates
have they seen it actually do that, or commenting about the way it is written?
Based field medicine researcher
no idea
Ugh lord have mercy
Med stim is hella nice
It would be pretty rad if I could pay like a large sum of plasteel/diamantine to make a red item where the only difference is its now free to swap perk/blessings as much as you want, kinda like a gw2 legendary weapon
Feel like at this point crafting is the biggest issue with the game
waiting for red weapons that have max stats and free swaps
Yâall remember the picture that I posted earlier
crafting and story to a lesser degree
but cost like 10k plasteel/diamantine to make
Well got a response back after the comment I made
but the gameplay feels incredible
only took a year lmao
I dont think weapons need more stats just make it a QoL thing when you upgrade instead
the new map is really nice
The three different types of veterans
breaking shit is my favourite
im just saying it since thats how reds worked in vt2, whatever youd respec itd always be the max value
yeah pretty much.
I bet it will be max potential stats and only one locked blessing/perk instead of two lol
couldnât start it before we looped in xbox players i guess
Ay man better than little to no impact side stories season like Destiney

Engagement!
Based
oh im talking the things before perks and blessings. so 80% across the board
Oh right, yea that for sure
thatâs not fair, some seasons 1 interesting thing occurs 
Aint gonna buy d2 again
They had to thoroughly beta test the game first
fatshark special. was the same for vt1-2 though so cant complain too much
yea well, I'd honestly rather pay for map dlcs than to deal with this crafting roulette
god i hope it gets an update soon its fucking rough atm
Yeah...
and the people who go off about how ''you dont need upgrades'' are the worst
I just wanna try fun combinations
Like as far I can tell
Saint 14 came back but becomes shaxx for trials
Crow is alive and forgiven
More witchcraft fuckery
rivens back now
Ah
Dunno what youâre talking about. 40k tabletop game also involves rolling dice all the time so this system is lore accurate
true true
The longtime fatshark playerbase has a mild form of stockholm
:)
recently - rasputin came back and died forever and now eris turned into a hive god, resurrected savathun and then killed her and stole her sword logic magic
Whatâs
Plant your feet and draw pardner
of course that stuff only happens at the very end of 15 week boring season
friend of mine waited a year before buying because of how vt2 went
Huh
Exactly
Smart dude
Or lady
its a goddamn 188 day season atm because of the delay. letsago......im in pain
I only bought it when it came out on Xbox because i donât own a computer
itâs rough out here but at least i got the new dungeon exotic
Letâs all thank fatshark for not trying to shoehorn in a battle pass
( itâs fine)
wishi was. bought it 3 days after release because i was keen on it.
Godbless
Quick question. Does headtaker activate with each tick of the chainaxe's special?
yeah whatâs up
0/6 atm. trying to do my solo run atm but keep dying to dumb shit
What the hell even is any of that
No unfortunately
they dont need fomo battlepass when the shop itself is fomo rotation

But shovel special pick hit counts as 2 hits
No, you can still scroll to the right and access everything

this one seems rough to solo because of the blight eye placement on the first encounter during cages and the time you get to burst the final boss
Welp, time to go out and get some plasteel to make a new shovel
destiny 2 recent story beats
wish more games did the halo infinite bp system. buy into whatever one you want, they stay around after done
I pre-ordered it during whatever the pre beta beta was called lmao, fuck what a fool. I had been sold that crafting and weapon mods would be launch day features.
Imagine my surprise. Surely there must be some mistake I thought
i feel for you
everything as in, the latest 2-3 something in the rotation? lmao
thats in fact not everything
Yeah
keep wanting to check out infinite more and more. but something stops me
common sense
^
infinite was such a dumpster fire
Anyway idk what you guys are talking about with aquilas and shit
honestly Idk
It's alright now
I had the worst fkin first impression
I had to grind for this look
i played it a bit during the early multiplayer launch then stopped because other games came around
Like, the new firefight mode is fun
idk i just think that game has just been insane with many design choices since the start and have no idea if itâs even gotten better
It's just that it took so long for us to get here
game ran horrible, server issues, disconnects, crashes, aim assist incredibly overtuned, gunplay shallow and no headshots on shields etc etc
I heard they ''solved'' aim assist complaints and dying pc playerbase by adding aim assist to mouse input lmao
pros using controllers instead of mnk was certainly telling
Bro wants to play team fortress 2
that aim assist lol
It was obvious from day fucking one
problem is
halo core audience are
creatures
that peaked as human beings back when halo 3 was hot
shame too, the multiplayer was dope as fuck
It's true and I did
Fucking hell man some people in darktide are just hella bad
anyone thatâs still a dedicated halo fan 83% chance theyâre not wearing deodorant and likes rooster teeth still
At this game
On the other hand I still haven't played anything past odst
Why not just bring a whole fucking regiment while weâre at it?
i remember playing halo 2 in the university library instead of....studying
so tldr is bad port and forced crossplay killed any chance of infinite having a pc audience
On Xbox?
yeah they had one just sitting there
a lot of people say lack of content but mfs are still playing dust 2 after uh... two decades?
good content doesnt age like milk
anyways i gotta go to the wage cage, have fun
original star wars battlefront games confirmed this
pc players have been doodoo too
i should pay more attention but premerge was still sus
just play hard to get now âyour mobility was bad i never wanted you anywayâ
I never had an xbox so I stopped past halo 2
assert dominance over the brick
Yea I played on my buddies
I mainly played them for campaigns on pc anyways as a kid
oh well, at least I have this to still a normal revolver to use while grinding plasteelio
Later got whatever the next one was for myself, 360
That moment when you're digging into the stats of a Devil's Claw and realize it's pretty good. And then the store resets.
god thinking of vista makes me feel old
some day some zoomer will remember windows 11 like this
knife vet is kinda weird
i feel like i have no horde clear but im always very high on damage
is it? i thought thatll be devils claw
parry is kinda dumb
parrying two crushers swinging at me is funny
true
i just kinda need a better knoife.
I dont have enough experience using knives to talk about it but mobility do be very high
Fishing for 1% of 1% upgrades does a number to your reserves
yea
knife melts crusher
well the old one does
Idk about new knife
dont have a good roll
naw, ordos are bitch made.
I honestly remember Vista very little outside a couple things that pissed me off about it, last distribution I remember was xp followed by 98, not counting linux/Unix or whatever apple has, macos or whatever it was on those transparent piece of shit all in one's for video editing
its getting that delicious 880 plasteel per match that sucks.
a couple of patches ago
how do you even grind that much ordo
ye. auto guns got buffed
would be using the recon lasgun trolling with its current state
this shit is fucking hilarious with power sword
I highly suggest taking this+blue stim
and reveling in infinite melee dps
I should really start saving up materials
just to shit em out on hmm
What do I want?
should i even have lacerate with bleed perc? i should prob go uncanny strike
hows vet now boys
Mk19 shovel on ogryn
Fan Revolver on veteran
Mk15 Eviscerator on zealot
really good
I use a very similar build with mkIII. The farm for PC IV continues however
is the revolver the new hot shit
I got really lucky when PC3 dropped/released
I found it in milkshop(PC3)
then rolled PC4 the next day at hadron 
Kinda lol.
King.
I do hate how good power sword is though 
I guess its balanced out by veteran being squishier than a pair of testicles
where is that dmg coming from holy shit
You get touched once and boom pancake mode
pretty much done with sod for now so its for darktide again
Tanky if you play the correct pug builds
This, my vet bleed knife build is in serious contention to be better than my zealot build.
are the sappers any good
something like this I'd imagine
Its definitely using all three red nodes
I just dunno how its getting there
It's more fun and newer thus better and old revolver is dirty old relic for hospice patients. Checkmate
hows the new chainsword
Vet falls apart as soon as you go under 75% toughness
I wouldn't disagree. I main zealot for the ults -- but -- vet is really good. For auric dam I think vet is hands down a better choice.
and that's just a fact of life
im liking the new chainsword
nice, good to hear
The best way to play vet is to not get touchy pooed
SoD was fun but need me some darktide
me playing melee vet:
And use your toughness damage reduction against ranged enemies
nah you need focus mark for that kind of boss melting, also for revolver the flat %10 rending gonna outdo onslaught aswell as being next to bring it down %20 monstro damage
I just dodge
I dunno, it doesn't feel super high skill ceiling
I'm just not allowed to be touched
See
that's the thing
I could take 700 damage on Ogryn and Zealot and sleep through it
That's 1 damage, 700 times!
any worthwhile changes for range weps
In fact I regularly take 3x that 
man I need to know those blessings lol
I regularly see ogryns take like 2k through a mission and not die
I just need to readjust to it.
It's really strong, the shout is way faster than zealot for overshield. And you can work out more damnation 1 shot kill points.
How are the blessings for this one?
champ what is your tree for that ridiculous damage
dont you want rending?
I got this from Melk lol.
I mean, in a perfect world:
Exhilirating Takedown, Confirmed Kill, Unwavering Focus, Close Order Drill, Voice of Command, and Ironwill all make getting below 75% toughness fairly hard.
But once you do, RIP
And oh look
wdym?
Does anybody actually take "Competitive Edge?"
Its a solid damage bonus throughout the course of the match
That and revolvers. It's like the wild west out here
when you realize there's 2200-2800 enemies per match
Is it longer than 8 seconds
so no nerfs for my gun, nice
wdym just get pc4
what is the point of an unreliable damage source
Also, and will probably be my last point on this: If your response to 700 damage taken is "Yikes", the class is fundamentally not tanky.
you either hit breakpoints against basic enemies or you dont
I dont play vet to melee 100% of the time though
I dont understand competitive urge and I never will
from VOC?
Toughness tanky sure. The trick is to make sure its always up so funny shit from maulers and crushers windmilling you don't obliterate you
Have
Have you tried regenerating 598% toughness without reloading đ€
he plays solo his entire perspective is based on that
what do with this shovel
must roll me a good new chainsword or sapper and compare them with a mk6 /w ps4
reroll perks?
i decided to see how long i could stand in fire with Iron Will + 50% toughness resistance from Infiltrate ult
i almost fucking died at the 3rd second
I dunno. There's something to be said about going "yikes" to 700 damage taken. That's not really the class being tanky. At least not in the traditional sense.
i'm enjoying new chaxe a lot though, it rips flak like wet tissue paper
even on lights
because vet is not tanky outside of VoC spam situations, its not meant to be tanky either.
But as soon as people start doing HP damage to vet, its joever
Has this been pinned yet?
700 damage is a little ''yikes'' on vet cause it implies you're really having a bad time
<@&735928989146939404> can we get a pin of this please? 
I roll face across keyboard, kill things. I'll adapt to vet's new situation eventually.
meanwhile oggy can take 2k in a mission and not die once while facerolling
Naw
Why do people dislike the low rof recon lasgun the most?
Feel No Pain + Point Blank Barrage is pretty fuckin dumb
the MKVIIa
its easier to adapt with VoC or infiltrate than with executioner
Oh, I'm using VoC
What is so wrong with this variant of the lasgun?
executioner while great, it demands good positioning and knowledge of what you can get away with
People dog on Recon, but when you talk about the Recon Mk VIIa they REALLY dog on you.
- revolver and power sword
Is the VIIa worse in some way?
we don't the mk2 is the one we hate the most
mk7 has a few redeeming qualities
Like not being the mk 2
it has +1 cleave mass, somewhat better armor damage modifiers, uhh that's about it
I was talking about using the Mk VIIa a few days ago and everyone was rofling at me for wanting to use the Mk VIIa and they said I should pick one with a higher rof atleast.
đ€·ââïž
Tbf the VId is the best of the 3
I prefer infil over exe for aggressive sniping anyway
mk6 is definitely better for Onslaught rending playstyles, which is probably the best way to use a recon
but if you weren't using Onslaught, the mk7 opens up as a choice
on
i cannot read the speed one sadly but still the others are good to know
Im pretty sure melee dmg would be wasted with the way i play vet
I think i reached like 900k damage on vet with the last game i played?
I already oneshot everything, and three shot crushers/2 shot maulers. I dunno maybe it does something for ragers.
and that was with 50k of that being melee
I'd consider taking the bottom perk for weapon specialist the one that gives toughness personally
Screw pins, can one of the mods please force fatshark to put these shorthand names in the game itself
until they get buffed I'll rofl at you for using any of the models 
This is one of those cases where I just don't see the point because power sword already obliterates everything.
why?
In all seriousness u want collat as low as possible
shorthand?
Collat is a bad stat
So collat is the dump stat on recons..?
Its not just dump
This is true for ogryn weapons
Its actively detrimental
it is not true on recon lasguns
why is collateral bad on recon?
Health/ability/power/speed lol
watching dreg stalkers run away from you is infuriating
First round with a proper fanfire roll
I wish the speed stim gave a discount to deadshot, that'd be hilarious
Collateral is what causes enemies to flinch and stagger
its just ogryn that bowls enemies over with collat
Does flechette on shotguns only exist up to T2?
agile engagement was great on helbore
So at higher collaterals they stagger before you can laser beam them
Idk if it still procs it or not
ye
but it does help me hit some breakpoints
yes, it only exists as t2
I tested it with deadshot, it does seem to cost less unless I'm crazy
The best collat stat is 0% for recon
Cheers 
No, agile totally makes sense
But i thought you meant just go for the 10% melee node
Time to get silly
I'm over here like "But why"
Isnt it %15
I mean, I'd go for just the 10% melee if that's all I could get.
maybe, i didnt notice much in a practical match
Imagine if you crit on the alt fire
Only 3 shot crushers with the mkVI psword?
bleeding fire rounds
That's the plan 
I was considering just dropping Scattershot and using Weapon Specialist for the crit
but then you can't do multiple rapid shots into mixed hordes
I've used a stim only like twice in real games so far, I only screwed around in psykanium
it probably isn't that it costs less, and more than you're not ADSing as long before your mag is dumped
also one possible trick with Kantrael is getting 5 stacks of Scattershot with the special round then using the 50% boosted crit on a normal shot into a beefy target
Could be, fair point
I thought the same when I tested at first
Wait wtf have they done to my helmet
That would make sense
The best way to test would be to time how long just holding ADS takes to empty your stam
I need players to use their stims more instead of hoarding and dying with them, even healing ones
HUH
I don't have a good method to test that accuratly outside of a phone stopwatch though
they changed it?
Nothing lol
I use them a lot tbh
They did nothing to the pot helmet
Buh-buh?
Yeah, its an acceptable breakpoint for me. If I'm particularly worried, I can shoot them once with revolver and make it a two shot
I'm sure people will grow into them given time
you can use stimms on players if they're not using them
People doing the same shit as average VT2 players and holding their pots forever is annoying
Turn your for_the_drip off
I forget
what gun to use on a melee vet build??
i could swear it did not look like this
just slap on a revolver and call it a day imo
they also need to add a notification for when players give you items tbh
thats what i was thinking
This is how the Armageddon helmet has always and will always look.
The game I just had I watched three teammates hold ther stims through a crusher and rager mob spawn mid horde
revolvers, heavy laspistol
makes sense, thanks
plasma too yeah
pocket big boy removal
Like when the fuck do you think that stim will help more
Either Revolver. Plasma. Boltgun.
That's strange since I'm not using any colour/material changes
weeeeeird
Also, Shout aura + ult stim is the good shit.
bolter feels so weak compared to plasma
the heavy heavy laspistol? 
what keystone would that be
thats because plasma is kinda busted
the right side one lol
Weapon specialist
oh bet
bolter is also not amazing either
You need to take the node just below it for the reload as well
oh yeah, can't wait for the light heavy laspistol with full auto 
assassination target no longer breaks shield
could use a little love in magazine capacity / reserve imo
maybe a burst trigger
I prefer the new revolver over the old one tbh. The old one is still really really good though
Plasma is amazing... ... you just need to mind your ammo management or pay the cost to take Scavenger
it's 3% ammo per stack but it rounds up so the Revolver still gets 1 ammo back
Give me the inferno pistol 
bolter is trash now
what would one want on the new knife
bolter now works like a sniper weapon
all fire is
you go for surgical crits
Like jesus christ they made them worse than instantly stripping toughness
die in 1-2 seconds flat...
i still use it but it feels quite mediocre
its a glitch
Is Make Every Shot Count still broken? I just did it with the shotgun but didn't unlock the penance
hopefully the hotfix comes soon
they already said it will be fixed next hot patch
Hit registration probably cucked you
I feel like a Meltagun will be a Blitz ability for a Mechanicus adept if we ever see one...
did you hit the assassination target shield?
like a worse revolver then 
Tossup for me if I want exhi takedown or on your toes. For now I'm settling on the damage reduction from exhi takedown as higher priority. I have infinite magazine capacity with revolver anyway with a little bit of micro if I remember to keep up with it.(so shooting shit for stacks of exhi doesn't matter)
Easier screenshots
didnt revolver get some fat rending nerfs
which makes it great for zealot but veteran i think needs it for some clearing as well due to not relying on melee as much as zealot
Just use CTRL + SHIFT + S to screenshot in that
Yes, and it's still 10x better than the bolter at sniping, because handcannon
it's like 60% to 40% on Carapace
and Hand Cannon T4 should still be the same as before
Revoler got nerfs but it's still very good
hell the new fanfire revolver still dunks
you just can't get away with T2 putting you at 100% now
does it still one shot crusher or not
which new shovel is better against horde ?
You're thinking of the backstab rending, hand cannon got nerfed nerfed
i do not feel that way but i will say ok
hand cannon is now max 60% rending
New one feels cool and fast reload. But I'll stick with the old one to kill the snipers far away
if vet melee is better than zealot now, they better fix that
zealot should not be outmeleed
What are you putting on your shovel I'm about to farm one
oh you're right
Also, mk 3?
my mistake
new one max is go through only 1 body , old revolver can still let u kill that bomber or gunner behind a wall of bodies
zealot is infinitely more survivable
more damage does not equal better
how is vet melee better than zealot melee?
you literally heal when you die as zealot instead of dying on top of already being tankier
Thanks, that's good to know
also which new shovel is good against horde ?
Are you coming at this from a you angle, or pub player angle?
Cause I think a pub player is going to be more successful because their tankiness is far more forgiving to HP damage, and requires functionally zero maintenance.
ohh
but it does not suck
Time to get silly
You can one-shot from a decent distance. And past that you can one-shot to the body if you crit (with your 50%+crit chance)
vet and their 6 options to oneshot the strongest mob in the game lol
so melee vet does more dmg but zealot has more survivability
Ogryn with Feel No Pain + 3 Max Health curios
the bolter complains are like helbore syndrome
It doesnt work the way you want it to work so you decide it sucks
Just because it isn't the worst gun in the game doesn't mean FS shouldn't give it little love. It's the poster child of the game. And it's currently much weaker than a cowboy weapon. 
helbore is great huh?
I didn't say otherwise buy saying it sucks is a stretch
dont reload it and youll be fine lol
too slow pullout, too few bullets, too slow singleshot
This is from 25m btw
and the reload
I was dropping regular 800k+ games with bolter and that build only got stronger this patch
would bolter work in a melee vet build?
what kind of build?
swap speed too slow so I wouldn't, personally
i genuinely want to perform better with bolter
focus mark VoC with deadshot surgical
No thats the antithesis of what the bolter wants to do.
i just feel like it is horrible
it's not really a melee build if you're magdumping your boltor half the time xD
Bolter wants a build focused on ranged damage due to the slow pullout time.
ok i will try that
The only thing that feels a bit iffy about the new revolver is how variable your shots to kill are based on if you crit or not
i think phrasing ot that way is too gentle
And a good revoler has like roughly 50% crit chance on average
Yeah, handcannon makes revolver falloff a meme
ive been doing aurics today wtih bolter
bolter is impotent revolver
its fine, but its just a worse plasma gun
guys i am so sorry
I mean, snipers are unarmored
I mean fanfire spam
weapon spec revolver synergy is busted
Kills line of stuff pretty nicely passively, not much boss damage with burn+bleed which is surprising.
Now try plasma :^)
which nodes do i need to hit?
Just weapon specialist
Been trying to make the left cap stone work on bolter but fuck me that right tree for vet has been so good on my plasma build.
bolter could have its bash and ammo improved for a start
It had its dps nerfed but ammo was never adressed I think
Luckily they have such a small amount of HP that I'm not sure that matters either. Never failed to oneshot a sniper no matter the distance
Stealth w/ bolter + surgical is good
bolter could probably use another magazine
i think the only thing bolter needs is better ready time to be competitive with plasma
i dont really have ammo problems with it
give it like %20-25 more, its passable on vet but think of zealots and stuff
they'll probably start to step on each other's toes that way
it feels bad meleeing and then not being able to quick handle a trapper or bomber
as a veteran
Or
Buff mag size so u reload less and stay in the âgun rdyâ part longer
when a revolver or plasma can just switch and gib instantly
Bolter could have a ready time twice as fast and it would still be slower than the revolver.
while also still being worse
bolter would have stronger monstrosity damage though
bolter ready needs faster, mag size or reload speed need a buff, the dmg is pathetic. shooters surviving a bolter shot is the weirdest thing ever
also what perks and blessings do i want on revolver? like is this salvageable
Try this with plasma đ
ok
gotta take those super unimportant wins where the bolter can get them right?
they could just not have revolvers that instantly magdump bosses maybe?
isnt that a little busted
also new revolver model definitely competes in monstrosity dps
Spiritual successor of masterwork pistol :v
its not bolters fault the revolver is imbalanced
dont need to nerf rev
make fanfire revolver drop all your unspent shells on the floor if you partial reload 
Something funny with my current fanfire, is that I usually kill a crusher in less than a magdump
Revolver 100% needs a nerf
me with full auto mod:
Unless my crit rng is bad, then I don't quite kill
revolver and plasma need to be adjusted
Muh hecking wholesome big ironerino should not out DPS a bolter
revolvers kinda dumb ngl
Wasn't one of the first nerfs they made was bolter pull out time?
its horrible
houston we have shovel
It's also not the only gun much better than the bolter
Bolter needs a buff
its speed should be balanced at least by making its dmg higher
bodyshot oneshot on any normal enemy
guaranteed
anything less is an insult
I just did 4.2k crit damage on carapace with damage stim đ€
And I don't know how
Because it normally does 2.4k
bolter needs buffs and revolver and plasma need to be adjusted down
leave
might not be meta but this shit slaps
If they buff the bolter it'll just be revolver 2.0 because it will be able to deal with anything anytime anywhere.
It will melt bosses, snipe specials, kill armor fast.
Same as the revolver can do now.
Fatshark mathematics
bolter doesnt need a lot
you're all just having victim complex
comparing it to the two most busted weapons in the game
draw laspistol, shoot random mob, pull out chainsword and cosplay a blender
all i think it needs is a ready time buff
while revolver and plasma need to get yeeted down
Not with how damn slow it is. It will never fully replace the revolver unless the revolver gets nerfed back to launch damage values
infinite cleave on plasma lol
How's the new skill tree?
its sad on zealot because they made it a surgical crit weapon and magdumping kinda sucks
good
Buff the bolter by giving us a space marine sized one
we'd lose our arms
It should be reverted to launch damage values. It was a highly specialized special removal tool on quick response.
Now it's a highly specialized everything removal tool on quick response.
have it dmg ur toughness with every shot fired
there, lore justification done
I don't mind
Pinning fire + insta reload was the reason why
i mostly use helbores with meh rolls, a vraks 7, a las pistol with awful rolls and a bolter
i am not comparing it to s tier
would also make gloryhunter more viable on that bolter specifically
Also give me the ogryn kickback on vet so I can shotgun jump like in Killing Floor 2
i just want to feel like its slow speed is warranted
i havent had many issues today using it in auric, i just want it to be better lol
its just felt like a worse plasma
It is a worse plasma
well yea
because plasma is busted
So boys, consensus on Mk3 shovel vs. Mk6?
bolter and plasma operate in the same kind of niche, one will be good, one won't be as good
the fuck is this suposed to mean
Plasma needs slower draw time and it'll be balanced
mk3 is debatably one of vet's strongest melee weapons rn right next to Rashad mk2 combat axe and mk6 power sword
Stop being thin skinned and clear out some of your old blocks :^)
Sounds good :v
Pretty self explanatory really
No no, not thin skinned just sick of zealots
The bolter should just stop being a slow and clunky PoS with mid damage to top it off. Either make it one or the other, not slow and bad.
So thin skinned
There's no one left in the game you havn't blocked 
HAHA BOLTER AMMOOO
the mk3 shovel ?
Blocking bad players will never actually work btw
They nerfed max block list from 50 to 10 đ
I just tell them to shut the fuck up or tell them why they're a drooling moron or vote kick if there's no coming to an understanding
If someone's just annoying I mute or just ignore
if you're to the point your blocking people for being bad players
I think I like the mk7 shovel more
Might find a premade group
No i block people deliberatly stealing ammo.
the mk3 slappy lights are funny tho
hmm
lol
if you think you're having it bad with hadron breaking your shovels
Makes sense you have max blocks then đ
What
there is always this
I mean, take a swing is decent isn't it
Impact blessings 
Or is that and only normal shovel thing :v
Man you can prime a grenade in stealth, but you can't stick yourself with a needle?
Wtf
Drugs are bad
is it good enough vs horde ?
Take a swing is decent on regular shovel, might be wicked on this one using the special
Ikr smh
No shooting up your heroin in the dark
Vet is a weenie who can't handle needles
How's the new skill tree?
Shove, special, heavy
i cannot vouch for mk3, but mk7 handles hordes as well as original shovel with heavy sweeps
it's passable
I'll probably just change crit chance to something then
good enough for vet standards at this point
Not sure if it's placebo but it seems if you load a special shell while ADS-ing it's way faster than out of ADS
