give veteran something like the stubba, i just wanna hipfire with an lmg

timid gazelle
#

Boxfed autogun not stubber, stubber be a steroided 50. cal

brazen ether

I don't mind hotshot lasguns out working other weapons
But fatshark probably cares more about balance or something

Well they do in a sense

#

Now fire melts Hp faster than you could say "Buyers remorse"

zealous wyvern
#

i love new fire

brazen ether
#

Idk maybe make it so they have to stand still to use hotshot/backpack fed guns

zealous wyvern
#

fire is great

brazen ether
#

And not being able to dodge

livid fractal
#

what blessings do i want on Vraaks VII

atomic zephyr
#

not being able to dodge sounds like it would kill it

timid gazelle

Still hate zealots yoinking ammo

brazen ether
timid gazelle
#

"Yeah but i got pressurized"

#

like shut

placid portal
#

Really nice pairing

south garnet
#

Wait so rending is based on the unarmored damage value?

white minnow
#

hmm seems like standing on fire disables the overshield protection against bursters and the like even if you have overshield

placid portal
#

You gonna use that?

hollow turtle
#

Since people switching out to the quickdraw revolver, I've been reclaiming my spot for medium-long range security.
Ma! I'm relevant again!"

gray belfry
#

'me fan firing everything and taking ammo to keep the yeehaw vibe going'

obtuse raft
white minnow
#

or maybe iron will stopped taking effect and I didn't notice the fire taking all of my overshield

timid gazelle
south garnet
#

So 20% rending on a weapon that does say 500 damage to unarmored but only 2 damage to carapace would then do 102 damage?

placid portal
#

Now my gloves melted onto my hands

white minnow
#

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

sudden dome
#

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

south garnet
sudden dome
#

and I would like to shoot them to do the aoe

white minnow
#

it's a bit whacky since quite a few weapons do != 100% to unarmoured

timid gazelle
#

wouldn't know

#

since bayonets rule

obtuse raft
placid portal
#

Stopping power and Penetration affects only armored enemies iirc but stopping power improves impact for stagger as well

white minnow
#

at least for guns, it's pretty simple since the damage number on the weapon card usually indicates its base damage

south garnet
#

Curious. Difficult to tell without testing then unless unarmored is specifically noted somewhere ingame, or I guess if code is available

white minnow
#

unless the weapon's name has "infantry autogun" in its name

placid portal
white minnow
#

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

zealous wyvern
#

this chat scares me

#

i do not follow at all

white minnow
#

like ????

south garnet
#

Oh boy. Okay, interesting, thanks for the rundown Arcotash. So in theory, the weapon card value can be used for calculations

zealous wyvern
#

so rending against crushers makes carapace perk useless?

#

lame

#

i mean not useless but

obtuse raft
#

If you have enough of it.

zealous wyvern
#

you get the point

white minnow
#

+damage to armour types is multiplicative

south garnet
#

Assuming it matches unarmored anyway

placid portal
zealous wyvern
#

i wish it used the carapace dmg and just gave it penetration

#

instead of unarmoured stuff

placid portal
#

Hmmm yes my 400 dmg is 13

obtuse raft
#

A lot of weapons have such shit base carapace modifiers that even a decent bit of rending only gets you to ok output

timid gazelle
#

Somehow my mods are all ded

placid portal
#

Unless crit

#

Lots of crit

timid gazelle
#

not big souprice

south garnet
#

What a procedure honestly lol. It's one thing to have automation but this is pretty buried

zealous wyvern
#

what did you do to gully

white minnow
obtuse raft
#

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.

white minnow
#

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

obtuse raft
#

Like it was just x% vs armor

placid portal
#

Man the rager changes made them a tad frail

white minnow
#

so if there's an attack in the combo that has a different damage profile, you have to do some guesswork

placid portal
#

2k hp is not alot

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

#

Agripinaa revolvo cant benefit from surgical if shooting too fast

timid gazelle
#

Finally 3 x 3 stamina

placid portal
#

And better to use standard if using surgical

timid gazelle
#

2 x 3 stam is great for the new revolver if used with deadshot ofcourse

brazen ether
placid portal
#

Ofc

white minnow
#

you can make a fairly educated guess and be right 90% of the time, but there's still some room for error

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.

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.

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.

But as soon as people start doing HP damage to vet, its joever

700 damage is a little ''yikes'' on vet cause it implies you're really having a bad time

Power Sword?

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

same with elite machine gunners

collat at least keeps them pinned in place

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?

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

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

I thought the same when I tested at first

That would make sense

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.

you literally heal when you die as zealot instead of dying on top of already being tankier

also which new shovel is good against horde ?

then back to my og point

bolter sucks

#

for vet

forest scaffold
#

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.

would bolter work in a melee vet build?

i just feel like it is horrible

it's not really a melee build if you're magdumping your boltor half the time xD

timid otter

Bolter wants a build focused on ranged damage due to the slow pullout time.

zealous wyvern
#

ok i will try that

mystic belfry
#

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
