#

like just pure damage to killing things

bleak tangle
#

bro doing laps both physical and skill rotation

slow garden
#

The 2 blessings you have on the other plasgun are the best in slots almost

limber egret
#

what i did was talents and glorhunter and iron will

slow garden
#

Just one is t3 but thats fine

limber egret
#

and one other talent

#

basically i take next to no toughness damage

#

when near teammates

#

it was hilariously tanky

umbral scaffold
#

But I'm just saying I'm fast as fuck boy

bleak tangle
#

admiration

#

it seem like fun thing to do

umbral scaffold
#

It's not just fun but it's helpful

bleak tangle
#

that'd be bonus I welcome

umbral scaffold
#

I mean see there's a hoard right and we have a plague ogryn and we're dealing with that but we have some Trappers and some talks flamers coming around and the zealots down I can go into stealth and just go grab the zealot or murder the flamer or trapper and then go grab the zealot vice versa

limber egret
#

would carapace armoured enemies be fine as well?

#

as a perk?

slow garden
#

Maniacs are the run killers usually

#

Carapace is threatening but slow

#

Just the ogryn really

bleak tangle
#

now what to do with 71 knives I have left in my inventory

limber egret
#

oh well here

umbral scaffold
#

I would rather have flak and maniac over carapace any day

slow garden
#

Sick

limber egret
#

so what do you think of this plasma gun?

slow garden
#

That's just shy of a god roll, very good plasgun

limber egret
slow garden
#

Unyielding would ideally be Flak Damage %, and Blaze Away 3 would be Blaze Away 4.

limber egret
#

like the absolute best?

slow garden
#

25% Maniac, 25% Flak, Gets Hot! level 4, Blaze Away level 4.

#

Your plasgun is very good though

limber egret
#

unyielding counts for bosses too right?

slow garden
#

Yep

brisk oxide
#

what even is carapace? crushers and the mauler helmet?

#

not much

slow garden
#

Crushers entire

#

Mauler helmet

limber egret
# slow garden Yep

oh well i did like having unyielding and since it was multiple enemies as well i figured it would be great

wanton dawn
#

Plasma god roll ? Probably ammo as dump stats, locked blaze away 3, locked get hots 4

umbral scaffold
limber egret
#

but apperenty this game has its enemies having multiple armor types

wanton dawn
#

Perks you would have maniac+flak as default, unyielding and carapace as tech

#

unyielding is good for boss maelstrom

slow garden
#

Mauler helmet is carapace, for example, chest is flak, his legs are unarmoured.

#

Most units are not like that though.

low oar
#

Maulers skipped leg day

slow garden
#

And in my experience its not the boss that kills my runs usually

#

Its the elites

#

Specialists

umbral scaffold
#

I think this is the closest I have to a god roll

low oar
#

A lot of units have locational armour actually

wanton dawn
#

For boss maelstrom you want to have anti-boss option, that's all

limber egret
slow garden
#

Aka krak grenades

tiny summit
#

Maulers still need to be louder. I need to hear a chainsaw constantly revving or announcement revs as they enter a certain radius

limber egret
#

heres my build for the plasma gun as well

#

i built for a lot of weakspot damage as well

#

to increase damage as much as possible

umbral scaffold
#

Man I pretty much have every penance except on OverWatch

limber egret
#

like i pretty much always aim for heads or the weakspot of the enemies

umbral scaffold
celest vine
#

Jump off the map then dont get rescued until the end of the map

umbral scaffold
#

Oh

#

Shit

celest vine
#

These terrible penances deserve to be glitched this way

umbral scaffold
#

Ok

slow garden
#

You can check out some plasgun talent builds online

serene sage
#

would that work?

slow garden
#

Personally I don't run weakspot damage on it, because it staggers so hard

umbral scaffold
#

Like just sit the entire round out to the end

slow garden
#

And its hipfire, so

#

Hitting weakspot consistently is hard

#

Some people are cracked and can do it, but not me

#

I suggest taking the talent that gives you 25% damage on weapon swap

#

Grenade bonuses

#

Grenade regen

#

20% revive speed perk

limber egret
slow garden
#

And uh...

limber egret
#

like hitting weakspot

slow garden
#

Use your krak grenades to kill bosses or stagger groups of heavy

#

Take the 20% monster / ogryn damage perk, too

#

I can hit like...

#

30-40% of my shots as weakspot hits

#

But the others are all bodyshot

#

(Or a miss)

wanton dawn
#

Weakspot damage allows to save shot on some circumstance. Consistency is good but you don't have to hit reliably to get value out of it

#

Plasma is a BP weapon before being a DPS weapon

slow garden
#

^

umbral scaffold
#

What do you think fellas

wanton dawn
#

Also it is on the way of the 15% elite damage

tiny summit
#

I personally rarely use exe and plasma together. Very fun to do, but shout just provides for the weakness of close and able to keep shooting priorities targets

wanton dawn
#

Breakpoint

slow garden
#

BreakPoint

#

TLDR: You shoot a guy one time and he is dead.

wanton dawn
#

Plasma can reach OS on most enemies with specific point investment

serene sage
#

does BP mean breakpoint?

slow garden
#

Yes

limber egret
#

oh ok

wanton dawn
#

The difference between 1 shot and 2 shot is way more important than 10 shot vs 11 shot obviously

serene sage
#

I think breakpoint should be abbreviated as BP

limber egret
#

also is overcharging plasma worth it?

wanton dawn
#

No

slow garden
#

Very rarely

serene sage
#

rarely

slow garden
#

But not typically no

#

Only overcharge plasma if there is a conga line of enemy specials in a hallway

#

It will pierce ALL of them

wanton dawn
#

You use overcharge for some specific tech. Otherwise you can get away with only using primary

bleak tangle
wanton dawn
slow garden
#

Uh

serene sage
#

wait does't it go through walls better?

wanton dawn
#

Some ppl say it improve wall penetration

slow garden
#

Got a source on that? I main plasgun and I could swear it does

wanton dawn
#

Not the same things

civic knot
#

lol i got the zealot god roll

wanton dawn
#

You get 6 maulers with both charged and uncharged

slow garden
#

Hmm

wanton dawn
#

I should have a video somewhere

#

Or ill make one

#

2s

civic knot
slow garden
#

I will have a look at it, thank you!

frank ether
slow garden
#

I admit I'm surprised, maybe I just have the habit of charging when I see groups

#

And there's no real diff in pen

limber egret
#

tho something else as well

umbral scaffold
limber egret
#

so i have seen supposely people talking about some more patterns of weapons

#

and i saw mentions of a plasma gun variant thats a heavy pattern for more damage

#

i was thinking of using that when ever its added

#

as the main plasma gun

slow garden
#

Oh, thats just a rumor

#

I think

crude ermine
#

That'd be a weird thing to add no?

fallow escarp
#

No

slow garden
#

There's no confirmation a heavy plasgun is coming to darktide as far as I know

bleak tangle
#

if 509 is enough, I'd like to pull backstab in case I'm in funny mood of sneaky zealot but like.... how much I shot myself in the foot in that case...

frank ether
#

weapon rating is rather meaningless

#

don't fixate on it too much

safe dawn
#

distribution of stats > base stats > total stats

frank ether
#

also focus on rolls with a little less mobility and higher first target

bleak bolt
#

i charge plasma to guarantee one shots on maulers/reapers

frank ether
#

you dont need 80 mobility as much as you need 80 first target

bleak tangle
#

I know, I just use it to differentiate (is that a word?) between 2 knives

frank ether
#

hmm

#

I'll be honest

#

I'm still trying to understand

#

the point of new knife

#

It seems like a slower killing variant with a little more cleave in return?

#

so I just slapped some power blessings on mine and threw infested in there to see if it will cleave

pulsar drift
#

Power sword rampage vs brutal momentum which one is good for the twin?

frank ether
#

again my knife is a lot worse than yours

bleak tangle
#

pretty much. from my feeling

frank ether
#

like look at this, its horrible

#

still works good enough

bleak tangle
#

new knife slash 2-3 head per light

frank ether
#

what I noticed is even though your initial heavy is cleave

#

if you do a special attack your follow-up is a single target heavy

pulsar drift
#

which one to swap out

slow garden
#

What a beautiful Psword

#

Just needs power cycler 4

pulsar drift
#

Yea i am thinking between rampage and BM

slow garden
#

Gimme

tiny summit
#

Yea PC4 and BM

frank ether
#

anyways I can't guarentee that its the best way to play it

#

but weakspot power blessings + precision strikes

#

and the +1 bleed talent (serrated blade) to enable mercy killer

#

this is how I've been using it

tiny summit
#

My friend said "fuck you" when I sent them this.

pulsar drift
#

Arlight

#

got it

pulsar drift
wanton dawn
slow garden
#

Sunder is bad, but replace the melee weak spot damage with ragers and thats a nearly perfect psword

#

I WAS RIGHT?

pulsar drift
#

Sunder tbh is not bad

tiny summit
#

Yea. That's what I plan to do.

pulsar drift
#

it is acturally rly smooooth

#

tho dmg is kinda low

frank ether
#

I think brutal momentum is too good to pass on ps

pulsar drift
#

but very smoooth

frank ether
#

like I'm pretty sure

#

as long as you have bm

#

you could even make it work without power cycler

tiny summit
#

It's just wow. Giving me 2 lvl blessings I don't have yet?

frank ether
#

its that good

#

I dont recommend you do that ofc

pulsar drift
#

wat about this autogun

#

I am thinking flak or unyielding

frank ether
#

but I have a suspicion I could slap bromentum rampage and spam regular heavies with mk3

pulsar drift
#

cuz i m using this for the twin

frank ether
#

It would probably still cleave ok

umbral scaffold
tiny summit
#

W/o PC4, PS is nice but at that point I'd rather have any decent combat axe with any lvl BM

pulsar drift
#

OKi

#

got it

wanton dawn
#

charged plasma seems to be double cleave

frank ether
slow garden
#

Nice

frank ether
#

Its not the end of the world tbh

#

like you can use it, it will be fine

#

mine has unyielding, I dont care

serene sage
slow garden
slow garden
#

Feels good, I hope the info helps your runs!

wanton dawn
#

Though cleave improvement is useless agasint crusher group

slow garden
#

Got it, so that's where it's pretty nuetral

wanton dawn
slow garden
#

Try hitting their head

#

I think it cleaves through three if you hit weakspot

#

But that might be jumbled memories of auric damnation speaking in my head

#

You do so many you lose some marbles, que sera sera

wanton dawn
slow garden
#

Ohh, I bet what might've mucked my brain is a crit.

pulsar drift
slow garden
#

Crit incleases cleave right?

Nice

slow garden
#

Gotcha!

#

Thanks for running the tests my man

#

My brain fog is cleared, we are now wiser plasgun lads.

wanton dawn
#

In any case, you should still use base shot in most circumstance cuz cleaving 6 maulers is already a lot whatthefuck_heresy

Any new cosmetics?

#

Yooooooooooooo Nice!

umbral scaffold

Plasgun cleave superior

merry oak
#

Damn

jade notch
#

And it is done, after half a dozen runs and a couple of disconnections mid-mission:

slow garden
#

Hmm interesting

terse idol
#

Where do you even find the secret hard mode

wanton dawn
#

Well, primary fire plasma has better synergy with blessings

terse idol
#

I found like one of the bells, gotta guide this

quasi socket
terse idol
#

Pretty sweet

slow garden
#

True

#

More crit potential as well

#

So the charge up is regardless rather niche

terse idol
#

Kinda hoped for more guardsmen garb but these are cool

wanton dawn
#

Also, charged shot usually overkill and when it does not, then 3 shot already do the job

wanton dawn
#

and sometimes you can even get 2 shot

#

so you save the ammo

jade notch
vital bobcat
#

any one know what the karnak twins enemy type is? for their body/back mostly

#

i thought it was flak but ive heard unarmored as well

copper pine
#

Cara head flak body

umbral scaffold
brisk oxide
hallow moat
brisk oxide
#

iirc they're unarmored everywhere but the head on hard mode, and have carapace on the head

vital bobcat
#

thats interesting that it changes to unarmored for hard mode

quasi socket
#

what perks we want on plasma? flak/maniac like 95% of guns?

flat wasp
wanton dawn
#

you can justify unyielding. It give you OS potential on reaper and bulwark and it is good for monstro maelstrom

#

same with carapace on crusher, a bit more niche though

quasi socket
#

im a reg damnation player, still getting used to the gun itself

slow garden
#

I say flak/maniac

#

Use your krak nades for monsters

bleak tangle
#

after some run with knife+stealth skill i have found my new dopamine drip

quasi socket
#

it had a strong base, but hadron has been...unkind

wanton dawn
#

I don't run kraks with plasma anymore

slow garden
#

Unfortunate my friend

bleak tangle
#

use skill to get behind gunline and mow 6 gunner down is chefkiss

umbral scaffold
#

Why not?

wanton dawn
#

because frags is better in almost all scenarios

slow garden
#

I still run kraks with plasma, I find frags lacking

teal abyss
slow garden
#

But I run a powersword that tears through maniacs and hordes in melee, so

wanton dawn
#

also kraks is good against target that plasma can already kill. As I said earlier, the only things where kraks is way better than frags on plasma build is BoN

languid escarp
#

BoN?

quasi socket
#

no good ps yet, so im running this still

slow garden
#

Krak has saved tons of runs for me, can't imagine being without them at this point

wanton dawn
languid escarp
#

oh

#

yeah

wanton dawn
#

and that's because kraks is one of the few reliable stun that we get on BoN. VoC is not reliable on it

slow garden
#

Makes Mauler, Ogryn, and Boss problems go away and leave my knife zealot alone

wanton dawn
#

aand frags only works if BoN has eaten someone

slow garden
#

I run all the nade talents but one though, and tend to use my kraks to save ammo / proactively kill off metal waves

wanton dawn
#

Two frags makes everything go away in the whole room

quasi socket
#

so consumed blessing are shared across characters, does that mean the psyker ps can get pc4?

slow garden
#

Maybe they buffed frags since last time I used them

#

I tried them a long time ago and was very underwhelmed with the results

serene sage
#

Throw 2

#

If you want damage

#

1 doesn't even kill poxwalkers kek

#

But 2 can wipe put any ranged patrols, elites or not

wanton dawn
#

thats' because damage from bleed has exponential return

gritty dock
slow garden
#

I tend to prefer things dieing instantly rather than having a bleedout, probably explains my bias toward krak

#

And to ogryn nade

wanton dawn
#

Well, frags put things on their knees

quasi socket
wanton dawn
#

Usually die by the time they get up

jade notch
#

So folks, which one should I keep on my Vet? Columnus with Reload Speed was what I got The Bell Tolls For Thee Penance with.

slow garden
#

I will try it again though, it has been awhile since I tried frags last

wanton dawn
#

But again, for damage you throw 2

slow garden
#

Cant hurt to run it for a couple missions

That's 1 vote for both Columnus lol, noted

screw it, keep both, swap between em, find what works for you @jade notch

Is +17% toughness max for a curio?

Did he mean ā€œborn Cadianā€ as in born as a cadian. Or just born and that I happen to be cadian

jade notch
quasi socket
cedar pecan
#

cool thanks

quasi socket
#

can get a 2nd toughness roll on it as well

jade notch
quasi socket
#

@cedar pecan 2nd roll would only be 2-5% increase tho

#

Oh my god Hadron

It used to be "+20% Sprint Efficiency", IIRC KEKW_ogryn

@jade notch my columnus, argument can be made to have a split dump between ammo and mobility

I'm aiming to beat Orthus Offensive hard

cedar pecan
flat furnace
#

I don't know if go with any power sword, a chain axe or a chain sword

jade notch
#

Handy for dropping Scab Ragers, Crushers and Maulers without sacrificing defensive utility

PS Mk 6 kills them faster, but you're not as nimble because of that dodge penalty.

people use anything other than a power sword? šŸ™ƒ

#

i have used the powersword twice, 8 months ago

flat furnace
#

it could be better
I thought all the new shovels had the penetration special attack...
I guess only the ogryns have it :[

jade notch
#

They do though?

#

It's just not 1-tap kill like the Ogryn Folding Shovels

livid warren
#

Highest toughness curios ?

jade notch
#

17% Toughness

zealous wyvern
#

@flat furnace mk3 does not. mk16a does

#

wait

#

i am confused

#

there are 2 new shovels

#

i did not know this

#

ok i think mk7 is the one with the pick special

#

mk3 does not but i wonder what it does differently from the standard issue model

livid warren
quasi socket
#

can get another 2-5% perk on them as well

jade notch
flat furnace
#

gosh now i'll have to look every shovel special attack

jade notch
#

The OG Shovel Special is still good because it staggers Crushers KEKW_ogryn

#

And Mutants mid-charge if you can hit them right in the face/weakspot.

quasi socket
#

can use darktide build editor to see possible rolls on curios too

flat furnace
#

oh no wait

#

we have it

#

oh gawd now i have to reroll a new shovel

May Hadron not fuck you over with the Shovel rolls 🫔

#

hey guys, I'd like to hear your suggestions on melee weapons for a command voice vet
I'm aiming to beat Orthus Offensive hard

#

ah, looks simple enough without getting into minutia

flat furnace
#

the secret hard mode?

#

all that easter egg with the bells?

Of course I'm trying to beat it in t5

lilac gale
#

gotcha. still need to unlock that :p

flat furnace
#

no worries pal
i'm sure you'll be ready soon!

fickle thorn
#

Is this the right chat to ask for opinions on weapon crafting or should I ask in a different channel?

#

Crafting a xiiig chainsword for a shout vet

fickle thorn
#

I usually stick to the combat knife so I'm open to any suggestions

frank ether
#

bad perks

#

the blessings are ok

#

you got rampage 4 thats good

#

rev it up not my favourite but sure why not

fickle thorn
#

I was considering swapping it for the one that does bleed on special hit

lilac gale
#

is either chainsword suited to horde-clearing? looking to pair something fun with a shotfun

fickle thorn
#

I think this one is light attack for horde and heavy for single target

frank ether
#

not amazing but it can do it

fickle thorn
#

I'm running it with a Kantrael shotty

frank ether
#

same with chainaxe now

#

they arent gonna beat a powersword

#

but they do it good enough

lilac gale
#

is new one primarily for specials/elites?

frank ether
#

then you can research rampage 4 out of this and put it on the new one

frank ether
#

I assume it just has strikedowns instead of cleaves or something

#

so vertical swings

fickle thorn
#

light attack is strikedown and 3 vanguards

lilac gale
#

new one's lights is SD, V, V, V

fickle thorn
#

heavy is 2 strikedowns and a vanguard

frank ether
#

I just think at that point

#

I'd just use a chainaxe

#

can't believe I'm saying that

#

but its actually not terrible now

#

I like the light attack rev now that you can cancel out of it

#

its like an on demand mini special

zealous wyvern
lilac gale
#

i just rolled a pretty nice power sword, time to cleave

frank ether
#

I mean the light attack rev on chaxe is

#

one shotting mutie

#

lmao

#

thats like, actually good

lilac gale
#

niiice

frank ether
#

basically you just stack up your blessings

#

and then your light revs will be enough to one hit dogs, muties (aim for head), flamers etc

lilac gale
flat furnace
#

still... I'd like a power sword or a chain melee weapon, so now I'm thinking what is best for my current need
my need being defeat the twins

#

I should ask someone who has already defeated them

zealous wyvern
#

i used chain and revolver

#

not secret difficulty but damnation

#

shout

#

my chain is not good but i know how to make it good

#

rampage shred for crit and damage

#

i can see the pick shovel doing what i did with the sword though

#

if you have a team already it depends on what they bring

flat furnace
#

chain axe or chain sword? that's the dilemma

zealous wyvern
#

you need at least one horde clearer imo

#

NO AXE

#

idk

#

all i know is that the axe lights lock you into hits too much and i hate it

flat furnace
zealous wyvern
#

anyone can defend the chain axe?

#

because i only ever hear it is bad

frank ether
zealous wyvern
#

one person said it was good on bloodletter or something

#

might have been zealots though

flat furnace
#

well zealots have it easy tho

frank ether
#

think getting on your toes would be better than invigorated since you dont run deadshot, your stamina needs shouldn't be that heavy

#

should you decide to run deadshot then it has value

lilac gale
#

hmmm

atomic zephyr
#

new chaxe special can onehit a crusher

#

easy

frank ether
#

cutting some points off of right side bottom row to invest in some other things can result in a better build

atomic zephyr
#

does a shitload of single target damage and pretty good horde clear too

sand abyss
frank ether
frank ether
#

I need to know that first

sand abyss
#

I just got a good cleave roll one

atomic zephyr
#

i like it cause the heavies have the cutting effect while the lights dont

#

as opposed to the other one

#

so i can spam light for horde clear and heavies for single target strikedown overheads

lilac gale
#

god what a typ

atomic zephyr
#

i think its better for stealth than knife just for ease of use

lilac gale
#

incendiary

frank ether
#

I was thinking starting with top right row or the middle row might be better but unfortunately I'm not too familiar with how the incendiary shotgun works

sand abyss
#

Imma ask cause i can’t figure it out, what is 30m in game

frank ether
#

hang on I'll make an example build

flat furnace
#

@atomic zephyr I ask because I'm looking for a good weapon overall to kill the twins with

frank ether
#

to get you the idea

lilac gale
atomic zephyr
flat furnace
#

I've heard that chain weapons and power swords are good melee options against them

atomic zephyr
#

though i found that like, any weapon will be ok you just have to be mobile

#

on the run where i beat them i was using VoC, kant laspistol and power sword mk6

flat furnace
#

the good ol' commissar loadout

atomic zephyr
#

mhm

#

the biggest issue i found is the running back and forth between the fans during the toxgas phases

south spindle
#

Big E gone done gifted me the best thing i think he ever has

atomic zephyr
#

because you can get caught up in the horde and subsequently eaten alive

#

hence, VoC

#

or stealth, that'll work too but less support oriented

lilac gale
flat furnace
atomic zephyr
#

yeah, or maniac either works lol

flat furnace
#

btw, do you by any chance know the difference between the two power swords?

#

I guess the Mk VI is betterĀæ

south spindle
fickle thorn
#

on light attacks only

#

while the mark 3 only has vanguard attacks

#

theoretically the mark 3 would be best for unlimited horde clear while the mark 4 throws in a strikedown occaisionally for somethng tougher

#

i don't know the attack angle differences tho

flat furnace
fickle thorn
#

Higher damage on 1 target

#

while vaunguards are a small sweep

#

that hit a few things

mhhh I'm liking the Mk VI

Does the weapon specialist keystone for weapon firerate have any impact on the plasma gun?

Does Shattering Impact do anything on Plasma gun? Dosnt it already have maximum armor pen?

Tap head shot

Most pgun gameplay you left click tap not charge

brittleness applies armour reduction for other people shooting the same target, so shattering impact theoretically makes it easier for your team mates to damage what you've hit.

terse idol
#

Its why breakpoint on both gunners is important

Imagining a zealot doing a fury charge with that pegleg is really ruining my immersion

as opposed to rending, which only provides that armour reduction for hits from yourself

scab 1 shot, dreg drops to 10-20% (dreg is the unarmored, yeah? yellow cloth?)

yes but does it give anything to your output with the gun?

admittedly on a plasma gun it's a little superflouous against all but the biggest targets ^^

My point with fomo is it generates more money in bursts, but non-fomo has more consistent revenue.

If they release a shop cosmetic right now that people don't really like for one reason or another.

But say next month they release another cosmetic set that you can mix and match with the previous one to make it look better, but oops it's not in the shop anymore so people aren't going to buy either.

To be utterly honest I'd just hope Fatshark just opens up the whole shop, or at least expands on the sets that are sold at a time, I've been waiting for months for the chance to pay them actual money. and each addition to the rotation makes stuff rarer.
