I rolled Deva'/Shred on mine an tbh, its fuckin solid, one of the few weapons i can say actually benifits heavily from cleave blessing

fleet thicket
#

No guardsmen of mine will be running chainaxe

sharp ember
#

ahh chainaxe is pretty slick for a navy-breacher type though

fleet thicket
#

I be honest

#

The new chainaxe I tested it

atomic zephyr
#

the plasma gun shots not showing up half the time when firing is really fucking weird

fleet thicket
#

It's still league behind rashad

#

At least with zealot I got so much melee bonus damage than I can make up for that

sudden sundial
atomic zephyr
fleet thicket
#

Unfortunately

south spindle
#

If it didnt feel like it was more clubbing your target to death than it does a chainaxe, it would get a bit more hype about it tbh

atomic zephyr
#

how is that bricked

sharp ember
#

I like it

next spade
#

guys you gotta give the Columnus Braced Autogun a try
I first thought its a farce but I just topped damage on Auric Damnation and I played 95% of the match with just firing full auto at any range, its crazy good

south spindle
#

Where is the gore on the new one vs old?

fleet thicket
#

It's very bad

atomic zephyr
#

oh

sharp ember
#

thunderous covers pen

mint oar
#

hi im new to the game

sharp ember
#

except for over 100% enemies anyway

fleet thicket
#

No slaughterer either

#

Not good perks too...

south spindle
mint oar
#

does the commodore shop change at all? im trying to get the kriegsman cosmetics

sharp ember
#

I use a chainaxe with the same blessing setup and it does well

atomic zephyr
#

rotates

#

every uhhhh

#

week or two weeks i forgot

next spade
#

these are better? I mean autoguns in general, nobody seems to use them

south spindle
#

Two weeks ye

sharp ember
#

every 2 weeks, on a thursday i think

south spindle
atomic zephyr
#

autoguns fucking rock rn

mint oar
south spindle
#

They're kinda overshadowed by the IAGs at the minute, but they're not really hurting for damage output at all

sharp ember
south spindle
atomic zephyr
#

would you guys say the new chainaxe is good for a melee vet build?

next spade
#

autoguns rock but braced autoguns with the brittleness talents and some solid blessings also destroy

mint oar
next spade
#

chainaxe is very good right now

south spindle
brisk sapphire
#

brautos are a simple man's IAG

south spindle
#

New one

umbral scaffold
#

this worth getting?

sharp ember
atomic zephyr
atomic zephyr
south spindle
next spade
#

chainaxe is the hardest crusher and mauler killer in the game probably

atomic zephyr
sharp ember
atomic zephyr
#

oh

umbral scaffold
atomic zephyr
#

rampage to power cycler

brisk sapphire
umbral scaffold
#

perk i said

atomic zephyr
#

i already have a melee build

#

oh perk

#

oop

umbral scaffold
#

not blessing

atomic zephyr
#

melee weak spot

#

to uh...maniac?

umbral scaffold
#

whats u

south spindle
mint oar
next spade
#

axe does it faster tho pretty sure and you can use light attack too

umbral scaffold
#

could i get a second opinion here

atomic zephyr
next spade
south spindle
#

That being said, if you could get a Chainaxe with Bloodletter on it.. that only needs to get the first damage tick of the rev attack, an then you can dodge out, but it will still apply the 16 bleedstack, so should be pretty dank

next spade
#

the stacks dont seem to deal that much

#

chainaxe rev does like 80% of a crusher the bleed like 10%

south spindle
#

16 stacks is enough to kill nearly everything other than really hard targets

mint oar
#

How do I do the marked for death penance?

atomic zephyr
#

oh neat

next spade
#

you mean with light attack

#

didnt think about that

south spindle
#

An the Rev will stagger Crushers, so if you have the room, they will just die to that

sharp ember
# atomic zephyr the axe i mean lol

oh right, I have a few chainaxes because I'm still experimenting. But the few standouts I have run:
A) Headtaker + Slaughterer
B) Bloodletter + Thunderous
C) Headtaker + Thrust
D) Headtaker + Thunderous

south spindle
#

Use the rev, let it bite, dodge out, free 16 bleedstack

#

Do it twice, you've hit the hardcap on stacks (31)

next spade
#

if there is a horde of crushers and you team needs help the axe is there to destroy these and you gotta bring the damage

mint oar
#

Does anyone know how I do the marked for death penance?

next spade
#

and doing heavy rev is really the best way

atomic zephyr
#

pair with any decently precise weapon you like

next spade
#

one heavy rev is I think like 3x light rev

atomic zephyr
#

i did it with an infantry lasgun

south spindle
atomic zephyr
#

yes thats wht im saying, that's the strat

south spindle
#

16 stacks is a lot of damage vs anything thats not Carapace

next spade
#

any other usually dies on a revved heavy

atomic zephyr
#

click on heads

#

i literally got this penance by accident you'll understand

next spade
#

but just needing a revved light might be great yes

south spindle

trim hemlock
#

31 is max for Soulblaze and Burn

south spindle
#

Ahh is it, aight, still, shitloads of free damage for very little investment or risk

atomic zephyr
next spade
#

Maelstrom with Scab only, I had 140 elite kills with the axe, its hard carrying these missions

atomic zephyr
mint oar
south spindle
atomic zephyr
#

that's it

#

also works with executioner's stance when you unlock it

#

should make things easier because you can extend its duration

next spade
#

the shout really helps to give you a get out of jail card against crushers

south spindle
#

Bloodthirsty means you dont dodge out without applying at least a good chunk of damage

mint oar
atomic zephyr
#

do not HOLD left click
PRESS left click

south spindle
#

Ye, its a pretty easy one to get though, shouldnt struggle with that

atomic zephyr
#

you can practice in psykanium

mint oar
next spade
#

surely good for general mixed use but for crushers it dosnt make a difference, which I originally thought this would help against them

atomic zephyr
tardy turtle
sharp ember
# atomic zephyr cool, thanks

Bloodletter + Thunderous is really neat, the bleed ticks build brittleness stacks and improve the bleed damage. But this one takes a lot more time to kill trash.
I've been trying to build a good chaxe with Bloodletter + Headtaker because I think it will be both good at trash AND single target

celest vine
#

Melk has a shovel with limbsplitter 4 and all or nothing 3

#

Mk3 shovel

south spindle
celest vine
#

80% on all stats that matter

mint oar
celest vine
#

Thanks guy

atomic zephyr
#

dont aim it when you do, holding is how you aim it

#

just chuck it into the air

south spindle
#

They're slow as fuck, you can often clear everything else out without having to worry about them unless space is a premium

cerulean void
#

so when are we getting braced lasgun

next spade
#

not sure if its Thrust but you can also one shot a bulwark with a heavy

mint oar
atomic zephyr
#

should i roll this

sharp ember
#

too risky, it's missing 1 dodge

atomic zephyr
south spindle
#

Its not a huge deal missing that one extra if you just play a bit more carefully

atomic zephyr
#

gee, thanks brunt.

south spindle
#

Lmao

sharp ember
#

that one might be missing 2 KEKW_ogryn

south spindle
#

Tertium's heavies Chainaxe KEKW_ogryn

atomic zephyr
#

that ones funny ill keep that one

mint oar
atomic zephyr
#

actually doesnt it specify headshot kills?

#

so four different enemies

mint oar
#

no it just says hit a weakpoint 4 times

atomic zephyr
#

oh ok nvm

#

honestly tech, dont worry too much about penances

#

just play game

#

you'll get half of the beginning ones by accident

next spade
#

bloodletter seems good against maulers as you can then bleed them out on one heavy

atomic zephyr
#

sigh
best axe i got

south spindle
atomic zephyr
#

its alright, i guess lol

south spindle
#

Tag em, dodge, free damage

next spade
#

ah I see

quasi socket
#

@mint oar i started during thanksgiving weekend, big thing is just getting mechanics/confidence and moving to next difficulty when comfortable. i got almost all redacted penances by just playing naturally (still need MESC)

next spade
#

yeah thats very convenient

atomic zephyr
#

holy fuck right after i complained brunt gave me a 379

#

only 67 penetration but i can fix that with thunderous

south spindle
#

Let the brickening commence

atomic zephyr
#

yeah

#

it's gonna get fucked

quasi socket
#

every so often hes got some good stuff in the shop too

atomic zephyr
#

hadron pls 🙏

south spindle
#

Remember to kneel at Hadron's

next spade
#

but the perk stacks are then the max stacks right?

south spindle
#

Use the emote

elder vessel
atomic zephyr
#

you know what? not bad.

next spade
#

so you cant stack the bleed stacks

grand sable
#

this one is at milk's right now, what should I change on it

south spindle
south spindle
atomic zephyr
next spade
#

doing right now, dosnt look like it

grand sable
#

sweet

south spindle
#

Could change Savage to Shred if you so desired, but there isnt a whole lot of need to

atomic zephyr
#

what the fuck this axe obliterates crushers

south spindle
quasi socket
grand sable
#

ight

south spindle
atomic zephyr
next spade
#

you pick axes (outside of crap tactical axes) for the heavy damage and armor pen

south spindle
#

Maniac/Flak

atomic zephyr
#

yeah i like the way this feels

#

will do

next spade
#

chainaxe is opposite of chainsword

south spindle
#

If its gonna take two hits on a Crusher even with perk, no sense in doing keeping it

south spindle
#

Check Mauler BP tho

next spade
#

btw the perk which has crit on rev kill also applies on rev

#

got this on zealot

#

so you can rev one for kill and the next rev is 100% crit including the attack

sharp ember
#

personally dont particularly like it

#

suggests you use revving in a fight with multiple enemies nearby

#

or at least 1 trash and 1 elite

next spade
#

gotta try but you can probably one shot a mauler one after another

#

like these 10 mauler groups

elder vessel
next spade
#

my axe isnt optimal but no

elder vessel
#

ez pz

#

rev everuthing

next spade
#

default heavy 50% of a mauler, with crit 80% of a mauler

elder vessel
#

chaxe lights be viable if you dodge spam

sharp ember
elder vessel
#

soemthing something iframes

#

iframes that dont exist

sharp ember
#

might think about it in a setup with crusher crit rev 1 shots

mint oar
#

How do I make volley fire last longer?

elder vessel
#

kill more idiots

sharp ember
elder vessel
#

higher difficulties, exes stance can last for several times its cooldown

#

if you aim good

next spade
#

I think with the right blessings and perks and some buffs from talents like bonus on ability ou could chain one shot a crusher wave

#

you need like 20% more or something

mint oar
#

how do i speak in game chat

elder vessel
#

uhh

#

press enter

#

then type words

versed merlin
#

like type or speak?

elder vessel
#

like we are rn

#

look at me this is so easy

hearty frigate
elder vessel
#

im even being grammatically correct isnt that cool

mint oar
#

i should only ever use lasguns right?

hearty frigate
#

Using the boltgun is fun because sometimes if you shoot an enemy in the hip they get split in half and their upper part flies upwards with their hands waving in the air

#

:>

quasi socket
# mint oar i should only ever use lasguns right?

try different weapons as you earn them for end of mission, find things you like. you get gifted 1 weapon per mission completion, and unlock 2 weapons per level up from the store. dont waste the currency, just wait til later to spend it.

#

also inspect them to learn what the stats actually do for the gun (should be "V" on pc)

elder vessel
#

even the shit ones

#

because

#

one day

#

they get buffed

#

and become S Tier

inland orchid
#

so i recommend that shit as well

pure chasm
#

least bloodthirsty guardsman

quasi socket
#

tried to boltgun once and didnt realize how trash my roll was (think like 30-40% reload) and it felt like it took years to refresh the mag

quick moth
versed merlin
#

whats the difference between headhunter and surgical blessings? i saw that vraks can have both

cerulean void
#

surgical gives crit the longer you ADS, headhunter adds crit when you don't crit until you crit

inland orchid
#

^

versed merlin
#

so in theory, headhunter would be better right?

inland orchid
#

depends on the weapon

cerulean void
#

in... theory, yes

versed merlin
#

vraks for this case

cerulean void
#

surgical is more useful, I think

forest scaffold

I don’t trust his armory

forest scaffold
#

buy a million gold's worth

#

upgrade the useable ones at hadron

versed merlin
#

i like to call that xing chainsword

pastel geode
#

He always scams me with low rolls when I try that

forest scaffold
#

thats

#

why you buy 100 of them at a time

#

unironically

#

just spam buy

#

100 times

pastel geode
#

Pain

forest scaffold
#

you'll get 5-10 useable ones

pastel geode
#

Guess I gotta go grind more coins in auric

versed merlin
#

do i need the rending node for vraks?

forest scaffold
#

you don't need the rending nodes for anything

#

as just an FYI

versed merlin
#

ah

#

thats good to know ty

forest scaffold
#

they're just uh

#

"do I want to kill a crusher in an oh shit moment" kinda thing

versed merlin
#

where should i spent this last 2 points

forest scaffold
#

and just a nice little boost to DPS elsewhere

forest scaffold
#

middle tree

#

and uh

pastel geode
#

I’d invest in middle tree

forest scaffold
#

that's it?

cinder wadi
#

is it just me a issue: Sometimes I'll be swinging my shovel and it would jitter like it's laging but my fps is stable

forest scaffold
#

I'd grab the other node for focus fire

#

marksman focus

#

whatever the keystone is called

#

the one on the right

versed merlin
#

oh counter-fire?

#

idk it feels like a trap

forest scaffold
#

I was thinking the opposite one of this

#

but its just 2.5% toughness replenishment

#

and this is rending

#

just grab 25% toughness and rending strikes

#

from the middle tree

hearty frigate
#

I love splitting people in half with explosive bullets :3

versed merlin
#

ye

#

i could absolutely go for a toughness replenishment overkill and get confirmed kill too batmanhmm

#

and swap for the emperor for born leader

#

idk if thats even worth

forest scaffold
forest scaffold
#

on literally every single veteran build

pastel geode
versed merlin
#

even if i run exhilirating takedown?

forest scaffold
#

yes

versed merlin
#

a okok

#

then ill give up the toughness and rending strikes for this

forest scaffold
#

confirmed kill is just stupid good thanks to how many fuckin elites get spammed out at you

versed merlin
#

and get myself born leader for the 15% toughness replenishment for my frens in coeherency HAPPY

forest scaffold
#

No

#

unfortunately

#

it is really bad

versed merlin
#

oh

forest scaffold
#

Yeah its mathed out weird under the hood

versed merlin
#

even in the slightest? like for the emepror prob wont do anything at all

forest scaffold
#

so if you regen 5% toughness

elder vessel
#

more toughness = more good

forest scaffold
#

your teammates get like

versed merlin
#

as ill be already one shotting everything that i shoot

forest scaffold
#

1% toughness

elder vessel
#

its more toughness bro

#

make it make sense

#

its more toughness

pastel geode
versed merlin
inland orchid
#

that is nuts

versed merlin
#

the one that gives 10% dmg for 5s

elder vessel
#

toughness regen gives you toughness

#

its toughness

#

its toughness

plush dragon
#

sorry for reply ping

lofty lintel
#

how bricked is this

forest scaffold
#

uh

#

I'm just gonna pick your brain for a minute

#

how do you get "Support Class"

#

out of my last mission's scoreboard

#

Veteran is DPS

#

with some support skills

quasi socket
#

you "supported" the team by letting them ride on your back

forest scaffold
#

but he's just DPS

versed merlin
#

pretty much every class has some support skills of their own, but i woudlnt say that vet is a support class

elder vessel
#

hes ranged elite

#

zealot is melee elite

#

psyker is disabler

forest scaffold
#

ehhhh

pastel geode
forest scaffold
#

have you SEEN power sword?

elder vessel
#

ogryn is ogryn

lofty lintel
#

veteran is whatever u want veteran to be

forest scaffold
#

or chain axe

lofty lintel
#

lol

forest scaffold
#

or chainsword

versed merlin
#

specially with weapon specs, which is absurdly godly

forest scaffold
#

or combat axes

#

or devil claws

lofty lintel
#

shovels

forest scaffold
#

veteran makes them all do really dumb stuff

#

No

#

okay

#

so the thing about veteran

elder vessel
#

killing dummies is never on cooldown

forest scaffold
#

if you're amazing at the game

#

he's fucking braindead OP

#

if you're not

elder vessel
#

its more toughness

forest scaffold
#

he's squishier than a fresh shit

#

and its extremely painful

#

and I fucking hate it

#

I want fatshark to normalize it

#

Sure, I can faceroll a match to nearly a million damage

#

and most specialists/elites kills

pastel geode
#

Ironically that’s lore accurate for guardsmen

forest scaffold
#

but the average player gets pancaked by a couple elite machinegunners

#

cause its really tedious keeping toughness above 75%

#

and requires pristine threat assessment

elder vessel
#

vet gameplay

#

pop ability

forest scaffold
#

I just want fatshark to normalize his TDR so it doesn't swingly wildly between "I am literally invulnerable" and "STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME PLEASE"

elder vessel
#

shoot em

#

repeat

versed merlin
#

time to give this loadout a go

#

i hated vraks when i tried before, but hopefully, ill manage to get around it

elder vessel
#

what did vraks ever do to you

#

all it did was get sieged by world eater boys (best legion)

versed merlin
#

not as fast as revolver and shottys KEKW_ogryn

pastel geode
elder vessel
#

And uh

#

occaisionally tag a gunner

#

with damage tags

what are people running on verteran now

inland orchid

depends who u ask public

#

vet's a pretty flexiable operator gun wise

oak canopy
#

mostly use plasma

#

i was using the focus one before patch

#

with what melee weapon

#

i thought the mk 3 was better

#

ps

#

i got to try the new axe though i heard its good

#

kk thx for the info

topaz pebble
#

Mk6 blows mk3 out the water

#

And that's cause mk6 is broken

mint oar
#

bruh this volley pennance is impossible

topaz pebble
#

Even without brutal momentum it's too good

frozen meadow
#

for power sword is power cycler and rampage better or power cycler and supercharge

topaz pebble
#

Who runs supercharge what

#

Power cycler brutal momentum

#

Or power cycler slaughterer

frozen meadow
#

it is all I have available lol

#

so power cycler and brutal momentum?

topaz pebble
#

Yes

#

You can 2-3 tap any big in the game

#

Or 1 tap if you crit

frozen meadow
#

what would be recommended perks?

topaz pebble
#

Maniac, carapace

#

Why unyielding, that's like reapers and bosses

#

Why would you need the +10% for flak though, the stab already one shots anything flak

frozen meadow
#

do I always want to use energised attack?

topaz pebble
#

Yes

#

Unpowered sword is probably the worst weapon in the game

frozen meadow
#

I will do the 10% elite then since I only have one perk avaliable

#

thank you fatshark for unneeded locks

topaz pebble
#

Player retention or something like that

mint oar
#

are there more then 1 weakspot on enemies?

topaz pebble
#

No

frozen meadow
#

doesn't retain me to grind just makes me sad

topaz pebble
#

Oh yeah beast

mint oar
#

is there an easier way to get the volley fire penance?

topaz pebble
#

Actually worst designed boss

topaz pebble
#

Still can animation cancel

#

I love it

#

I love that new revolver

mint oar
crude ermine
#

Thought I got a really good revolv

Except the one stat I needed high as possible was 50

topaz pebble
#

Yeah, find any tough enemy

crude ermine
#

So that went into the dump

quick moth
#

Controversial take from playing other classes: non-PG or revolver veteran is kinda questionably useful

mint oar
#

what's a reaper

topaz pebble
#

Minigun ogryn

quick moth
#

The damage output from vets otherwise is just kinda crap

mint oar
crude ermine
#

Strong gun but he can be scared by even the slightest tint of damage to cover himself

versed merlin
crude ermine
#

He can be oppressive if not stopped however

versed merlin
#

but i think stealth is better than exec stance for this weapon

frozen meadow
#

and for power sword, what attack patterns should I use and where?

topaz pebble
#

Yeah, got my penance using the good old mg12

topaz pebble
mint oar
#

yeah

#

but it needs to be headshots during volley specifically

mint oar
topaz pebble
#

Mg12

frozen meadow
#

cancel push attack?

frozen meadow
#

what is that?

topaz pebble
#

They made the power animation like cancelable .8s in

#

It's really jank

#

Cause the sword won't even show that its powered up

scenic bronze
#

Getting pushed by a spawning horde into fire is a new one for me

crude ermine
#

Just tell them no, they legally can't do anything now

#

Ofc that's not gonna stop them

frozen meadow
#

when I do that animation cancel, do I want to do that push attack light combo 3 times, or stab once and then use normal light?

topaz pebble
#

Stab into light

#

Because the push attack leads straight to light 4

frozen meadow
#

ok ty

#

damn

#

that does damage

#

are the new vet shovels better than the old one?

#

Yeah

Right. So is there a reason Graia isn't recommended?

and the fact that agripinaa has always been an allrounder weapon

and columus just being way too good rn

Gotcha. I'll start looking at those two. Thanks!

what is power vs close damage on iag?

versed merlin
#

i think power affects all offensive aspects of a weapon, such as damage, stopping power

#

could be wrong tho, i wouldnt trust myself

lofty lintel
#

thats correct

versed merlin
#

so i was wrong at betting that my answer was wrong

lofty lintel

LOL

yeah

Which helbore lasgun is good?

dusk idol
#

depends what you want

quasi socket
#

Mk1 is in middle for speed/damage, mk 3 is slow but hits hard, mk 2 is fast and light hits

#

From my limited time with them

dusk idol
#

if the bayonet is a factor to you, 1 and 2 have good stab attacks where as 3 has an awkward strikedown-esque attack

Yeah, mk1 is where its at for bayonet

is the mk3 shovel good at clearing?

not the best from what i heard

ad clear its like heavy/light i thinks teh combo

eh, am still 25, but wanted feedback on what I'm looking at / the thought process

crude ermine

Should I put thrust on the mk III shovel or something else

gray belfry

first heavys a swing, second is a strikedown

lofty lintel
#

thanks

gray belfry
#

idk man i use the mk 7. better ad clear, but the pickaxe has a longer recovery, which is slowly starting to get me in bad situations more and more

lofty lintel
#

yeah the pickaxe is AMAZING

gray belfry
#

go in to hit a mauler, still pulling it out when the second and 3rd rock up to say hi

versed merlin
#

i love the mk7 and dont really have much trouble with it, mainly because i use it on weap spec loadout so has lots of crits and can pretty much one shot anything but mauler and crusher

lofty lintel

for a wep spec build i use mk6 power sword

it still does the trick well enough

the new one, the agripa cowboy

oh k. yeah idk how people build that one, but i think its mostly used to melt bosses and crushers

#

I like the gameplay of giving wallhacks + shooting via wallhacks, and being able to full unload with deadshot seems.. super effective, if not super easy to aim at not-point-blank

gray belfry
#

i got crucian/handcannon t3 with flak maniac and it does the trick

still leaf
#

so you're thinking just no keystone, or pushing over to try and get tags?

versed merlin
#

im not sure, cant really help you with that one as i never touched the new revolver

#

but i dont think you'll benefit from marksman for anything at all

still leaf
#

fair, it does feel.. clunky, to try and stand still to build it, or only move after headshots

versed merlin
#

yeah that doesnt seem all to bad for a more all around loadout. just make sure you grab iron will tho, its one of the left nodes at the middle branch

still leaf
#

oh, to soak the first hit? mmkay.

versed merlin

not just the first, so long as you're building up toughness by actively killing specials and elites, which will be very common in higher difficulties, you'll have that thing up for a very long time

What are some nice blessings to go for on the new mk III shovel

the difference is negligible because anything you two shot with 1a is a two shot on the 12, but you can 1 shot with a crit on either one

I want fletchette so bad

patent valley

like now u constantly load it one by one, and can only load it once each shot, but what if u can load more than one while u have empty space in the chamber?

wouldnt that make shotguns more fun/viable?

frozen meadow
#

I would be op as hell if I could stack special ammo

patent valley
#

not that its not viable now, but its abit slow

south garnet

could be usable

coarse tide

That's because of the weird charge

@south garnet you shoulda seen the one i have that hopefully doesnt get bricked by hadron. Bought it as a grey 376 or 378 at brunt today

terse idol

If youuuuu

#

Charge too soon

It'll cause it not to fire

The one I posted is at melk's, waffling on whether or not to grap it, swap no respite to onslaught and specialist to flak and call it a day

I don't currently have a mk 1

atomic zephyr

ok so i want to stack as much crit as i can for a manstoppper flechette lawbringer shotgun
what are the best talents to do wthat with

steep vault
#

the sweep feels like crowd control

#

but it doesn't actually do the proper amount of damage crowd control would need to feel meaningful

south garnet

I think I'll probably pass on it though, low ammo isn't generally an issue with helbores but I do have a bone to pick with mag size being small enough to potentially cause hiccups

how much damage are you realistically doing to carapace with a devils claw

hand cannon surgical still the way?

surgical is good too

the cleave on the right one is gonna fuck you up

plus, savage sweep is better imo

Wrath isnt too bad though, ive actually managed to solo multiple hordes in a really shitty spot to the point my hand started to hurt. sadcat

atomic zephyr
#

both are really good

#

tbh its preference for the blessings

atomic zephyr
#

but i'd def use left for the perks

#

devils claw doesnt do much to carapace in the first place

graceful glen
keen wharf
#

Wrath is more consistent in hordes i feel, savage sweep is a little hit or miss if the horde starts to try and disperse and get behind you which is annoying since i dont really like to do heavy swings, i get hit way too much with that.

what is supression?

celest vine

Accuracy penalty for getting shot at

mystic nimbus
celest vine

It can force hostiles into cover as a veteran

generally tho its not useful as a vet

Stagger>Supression for enemeys

Id rather them not go into cover and stand for me to headshot them

💀

crimson bloom

I've been trying to use cover more but ultimatly I just run around like an idiot

celest vine

On paper supression sounds good in practice it pads out gunfights with the 25 scab shooters the game just spawned

Veteran exists to be good at shooting guns

crimson bloom

Nah dude its the damn gunners

He has good melee perks, but the class has unique gun perks no other class has
