ive never seen a monstrosity spawn there, wild shit
yeah it was more of a threat considering i was the only one shooting the damn thing
oh well
Rotting Nurgle nutsack
I can't take you anywhere
This is why Dad got so drunk on Thanksgiving
im a dumbass plus im not sober when i play this game
Based
this stupid gun any good
just bought it and changed a lil was wondering if its worth keepin
Meh it's alright
does it shoot
ion think i can cuz i changed two items already
Brother you can
I know what I'm talking about

The slots you modify can be modified an infinite number of times.
no u cant
u can only mod it if i say so
and i say u cant
so
im gonna have all gunner resistances and all gunner damage buffs with focus so i can hear someone say “if you wanted to get better results you could swap-“
changed it
could somone donate me 4 million gold shits?
I can't shit gold
:\
ugh man people are defs dogshit during this special mission
I have IBS so it's like nurgles curse
I beat the normal mode first try
Maybe I got lucky with lubs
Pubs
yeah try playing on oceana servers damnation karnak twins
Oceana
My condolences.
most oceana idiots cant even hold their own
this drippy or nah
You need depraved sociopathic Americans who fantasize about home invaders on your team
Looks sick
or just competent teammates
Same diff
thx gamer
by the by in terms of my infiltrate build this is what i use
Unhinged
hate the keystones
Going for the left tree at the end is a waste. Should just grab the Focus Fire Keystones.
The keystones are all fantastic.
Ya’ll be lost.
I like the keystone and even I disagree
sah sah are you even a veteran main sah
huhh?? i love the keystones tho
they are so good
or im bad idk
whats so bad about them?
Rip
this thang any good just bought it and changed some items was it worth
they're ok
marksman kinda doodoo
the thing is
you can have a no keystone build a lot of the times
i like it on braced auto
which may outperform the keystone
Weak spot damage is trash, switch for flak.
Focus fire keystones are literally free damage and toughness. Like why pass them up?
I do think the vet keystones are kinda whatev, but focus fire is all that shit for just tagging something you're gonna kill anyway and the damn outline already helps with headshots.
get revived
hit by mutie
two poxbursters spawn and instantly full kill me while mutie holds me
listen up the 3 keystones have 3 flaws to them 1 markmen's focus requires you to stand still in order for it to function properly 2 focused fire is tied to the pinging system there for making it both good and bad because 1 yes you can burn down a high priority target down fast down side is if there no high priority target around ya pretty much just got a waste of stack of 5 or 8 stacks of focus fire literally sitting there waiting to be used and 3 weapon specialist the constant swapping of weapons which means going through an animation which can waste precious time which you can be doing DAMAGE instead
I wish they'd make a level where you're running between trenched in a no mans land ground war
If you can score consistent headshots, M’sF turns vet into a god.
yeah because this is a rail shooter
The las recon, Colum IAG, and revolver are just broke as fuck with the finesse bonuses from M’sF.
i like weapon specialist keystone tbh only one i've used
Bes of da bes
bruh there is a boss one clip build for agri revolver
and it doesnt even involve marksman focus
because marksman focus sucks
and i've made my point because allot of y'all seem to think that the keystones are good yes given to a certain degree i'll agree with you guys but this the but those the other classes have some keystone that is tied to there ability
it doesn't give more damage than focus mark does
Use a las recon with 10 stacks (3 headshots) of M’sF in the meatgrinder and you’ll see what I mean.
wow it sucks like %10 less
good job
still killing muties 4x slower than my iag
which is on a melee build
I dont even sacrifice shit for dps
we vets don't have that so just use ya brain for a minute and think before coming up with some stupid reason
Yeah focus mark is also buffed by voice and for the emperor (extra 10% damage). Weapon specialist will get you the most hypothetical damage, but focus is the most consistent.
wtf are unyeilding enemies
There are better options but I’m talking about M’sF’s effect on ranged finesse weapons. Not the quality of the weapons themselves.
mf has 300 hours and doesnt know what that means
Its literally worse than the mark keystone
what was the total damage you got out of focus mark? like %30+ something on your marked target?
Plus the +10% of for the emperor yeah
MF is not competing with that
focus mark doesnt need you to play mental gymnastics
and it works with ANYTHING
melee
Weapon specialist CAN beat it, but again that's bugged so I expect this to change.
so dandy if you think i dont know what the actual fuck i'm talking about than mate all i gotta say is you are a fucking idiot
for your entire fucking team
all you have to do is ping the mf you want dead
its great
you even get stamina and toughness for your entire team for killing it
You’re assigned a lot of opinions to me I feel.
Hey settle down. Let's reflect.
i will admit focus fire is the best out of all the 3 keystones
what does marksman focus get? Oh yeah %10 rending if you have 10 stacks. Guess which keystone has a flat %10 AT ALL TIMES for BOTH WEAPONS
there are like, two weapons where I use mf
the twins damnation hard?
but I do some to goof around
why only 19k gold shits :\\\\\\\\\
Easy with a well equipped group. Build for fighting a captain and ragers squads and you’ll be fine.
yes if you dont have a good build or if ya team is complete horse shit
which laspistol is better
easy if you're not doing hardmode
you just need a decent group
i hate my self and love pain so im going to do it with randoms and see what happens
everytime i join a lobby with randos they all want to do hard mode
cuz hard mode is good mode
Bring chain weapons and a plasma and voice of command and field improvisation if you got a point you can spare.
The free nades and corruption clear are good for the fight
ugh i hate plasma gun so much tbh
Bolter works to. Just anything to deal quickly with ragers and mauler packs.
It's also bugged and doesn't display a shot sometimes which fucks you up
just saying i also made the flaws in the keystones pretty clear
Focus Fire is a must on the Karnak fight
eh imm try out stealth build first
+32% damage the whole fight is massive
plus im good at the game anyway
Hey y'all which blessing would you swap for Bloodletter?
windows key shift and s let you screen snip stuff btw
Probably rampage.
He on his PC, but he ain't using Discord on his PC is what he means lol
Which tbh I don't blame anyone
keep rampage switch out wrath
You’ll have an easier time using Wrath Effectively without rampage than you will vice versa.
Rampage description is bugged no and is actually 32% power? Doesn't make up for some of the cleave that wrath provides?
I’ve not heard of this bug.
wrath is good for single target dps while ramage is good for hordes
I finally beat the twins! After three tries! LOL
I've heard it from multiple sources but have not confirmed it in notes yet
Then I’d say swap Wrath if true.
I am using blood letter for single target so I want the other blessing to help with hordes
than rampage is ya best bet
only if your vet is smart enough to mark the correct one lol
I'm curious how does more cleave help with single target damage
also if it was from a source that was from outside this discord take it with a grain of salt
True I am trying to find the note where it was stated
honestly, the agrippina braced autogun is probably better with shout but there’s nothing quite like pressing f, seeing the screen light up orange and then holding left click and watching the orange fade away
I found it lol
@flint lake
It was stated in Patch 13
Power instead of regular damage. So the description is wrong in game
Damn then yeah fuck wrath
Okay so I wasted a talent slot then
just bear that in mind before listening to the fool aka dandy
Lol
Settle down
Blud was just trying to help blud
Bro just salty he can’t get headshots
It'd a valid question 🥹
try using a controller on pc with a weapon that has a high RoF than try saying that again
Lol nah I’ll stick to the mouse. No wonder you can’t hit shit.
Limb splitter is okay, and so is Decimator.
I'll be keeping this for the time being
you haven't seen what i'm able to do with a controller so you may wanna retrack that statement
I know you can’t hit headshots cause you’re complaining about M’sF
just gonna drop this here
Whoa whoa hold up. Did I just see someone say weapon spec sucks?
kinda dependant on weapon setup ye?
Fair but like. Thata true of many talents
yes i did and grawr i stand by my statement only reason why i said that those is for 1 reason the constant switching of weapons
You dont lose any damage on insta swap weps thou
focus target is just simply super versatile, but I guess that's the exception to such ruling 
In fact u gain damage cos of Agile Engagement
true but what about weapons that aint insta swap
U dont use them with weapon spec?
Simple as
Thats like saying u dont use shocktrooper with non lasguns
Doesnt mean shocktrooper is bad
Or u dont use plasma with deadshot. Etc.
I’m built different, going to run weapon swap with bolt gun
If only weapon specialist also buffs swap speed too

or heck agile engagement also triggers fast swap
is there a way to get weapon specialist and executioner stance?
you could
drawing the bolter is instant
but you'd be on very heavy taxing
weapon spec bolter time
oh no
I found the one 🥰
yeehaw cannon do be fun
Aw kark this Melk set the damn power output to stun
Great for non lethal takedowns
well
Which means bin it right now
phaser time
Degloving rifle
not limb exploding from sudden vaporizing
anyways i've lost enough brain cells arguing with idiots who dont know what they are talking about imma go do some coding for some mods y'all have a good one
nooo you cant just kill the alien species. picard said so
gotta love how iirc lasguns can blow off a limb
you would dare obstruct the Emperors will?
who is picard again
So can my air compressor
star trek is opposite of 40k
And they don’t have dismemberment in this game
humans are super super good guy peaceful
Wolf was saying some dumb shit about how the keystones are awful before self reporting that he can’t get headshot kills cause he uses a controller.
yea just deep burning holes
Star Trek and 40k are basically the same universe
The best u can get is a hot red hole in someone’s face
no explosions
Absolute dumpster
As the CEO of TORGUE company once said
golden age maybe
is the helbore series worth using, say over the regular lasguns?
ca
I'm getting better at Malice difficulty and Veteran, I'm going to go for level four difficulty now
Cooked like my vets hands when spamming a plasma
Just gotta learn when to pull out your gun
dont be a pussy, do damnation
die well
that animation really sucks 😅
The answer is never
from what i can if you like sniping
Damnation is too much
you should never pull out your rifle because you should be holding it already
I'll stick with my 1a for now, I guess lol
or use Exe stance for quick swap
its good
Practice melee, you’ll get better very soon
a proper guardsmen should always have his rifle by his side
I only use exe stance to draw into Lucius, only reason I run exe lucius
Just never use ranged weapons
this is my rifle, there are many ones like it
Pick up a Real knife
but this one is mine
If u like killing armor with lasguns, yes
A real knife
Lucius MK3 can 2 tap crushers
I think you could push it to 1 shot but forgor how
Helbore’s biggest advantage over infantry lasguns imo is their versatility
U can actually take a helbore to mostly any fight and be prepared
of the 3, which is the preferred variant?
I thought it was the fact it is super stable
Mk3 is my cake, but mk1 and 2 is more easy to use when shooting
Helbore has really stable aim
even under suppression
MAN abter beating those clones noe even auric feels easy
Mk1 is the balanced option
Mk2 has lower dmg (worse breakpoints) but shoots faster and uses less ammo per shot
Mk3 does big damage but has very slow charge speed (firerate) and drains ammo very quickly, it also has a horrible bayonet moveset which is basically unusable
mk1 mk2 have VERY GOOD MELEE
mk3 is a delete button sniper if built right
If you really hate maulers and crushers MK3 is the weapon
or an almost delete button if you do not
Mk3 is like the big damage upgrade to infantry lasguns in terms of application
i guess it depends on what you want it to do
Because the melee is unusable
How do you activate hard mode for the special assignment mission?
I think MK3 is probs the one lasgun you can hit headshots and do more damage than bodyshot

Unlike mk1 and mk2 where it’s basically a gun on a spear
ah the olde russian and japanese war tactic
mk12 bayonets stagger ragers, maulers and others with one thrust
find bell, hit it in specific amount, find more bells with specific ring count
we need a long rifle so when you add the bayonet it becomes a spear
its just that I can't see myself charging that thing in damnation+ constantly 😅
Lucius Mk3 is probs the longest gun in the game for human characters
yeah makes sense considering that its based on a ww1 rifle
I need to block better
So more stamina management
dont run too much man
or slap 3x +3 stamina curios
keep enough stamina to do a push block
yeah
As a normal player who binded w to sprint I find this aggregious
Oh yea blocking attacks you don't see uses more stamina
well i played tide games when they didnt have a spirnt so i got used to making do without
i do miss a lot of features that darktide has that vermintide doesnt have
like sprinting
so, i guess, you gtfoed 😎
😎
Perfect for those Horatio Caine one-liners! :)
(This is a better version than the old one I had uploaded earlier.)

Canon professional vet
he successfully lived
Don't mess with the guard
More surprising that as billions don't make it past 10 years, trillions do because they don't live in an active hellscape

impossible you mean if that if we dont treat our subjects like shit then they would do better? Heresy
Is the old chainsword better than the new one for ad clear
Thank god, the twins grind is over for me
Same lmfao
The group I was with tonight we managed to clear in just 3 tries, dumb luck I guess
it's like 2 missions ye?
Then why didnt cadia make it another 10 years?
Is the MKIV or the new chainsword better for ad clear?
Wonder how life is like on a agri world or feudal world. Like it's so out of the way of enemies but potentially not so industrialized that your gonna die in a factory accident or somthing. Other than tithes your probably living the good life
Sad but abbadon flipped the gaming table after losing his daemon prince from 50 conscripts passing 50 6s

I'm not sure what the differences between the two are
if you're in a feudal world you'd be a peon
Agri world is Food production dedicated, Feudal world is what it means a feudal system ruling, basically not current time tech

Feudal worlds is normal imperium without the tech
I think he meant his chainsword question there
ah
Agri worlds are worlds so industrialized towards farming the atmosphere hurts and you still get worked to death
I think new chainsword has 2 Strikedown and 1 Relentless
while old one has 2 relentless loop
So my knife bleeds from talent, 3 from non weak point and then from crit
Now I’m practice I can’t tell
Ngl the new rogue trader set + Krieg helm is prob the closest thing u can get to a Krieg grenadier looking set on veteran rn
So is bleed even worth
depends
I do use tending
but on armored? nah
Rending
Just rending backstab em to death
Nah just unarmored and mob
You got them paired? Lemme see
Like are they dying from the swing or the bleed idk
prefer having backstab
Yeah I do to it’s just a mad scientist thing
I can apply 16 stacks in two seconds more or less
But the damage seems whatever compared to my usual power sword
U mean onslaught stacks from bleed ticks?
They patched that, no longer applies
Seems to do the same damage
Bleed ticks meh unless unyielding or boss imo
DoT ticks no longer apply onslaught’s brittleness effects
I can kinda see it. But just one glance at the frills ruin it for me
heck backstabbing the karnak twins do so much damage

Still looks good imo
Wasn't intended anyways
But yea the frills take it away
ye autoguns eat'n good today
Onslaught is just exclusively meant for braced/infantry autoguns rn
Or recon lasguns if you’re gonna hog ammo
didnt the Recon Lasgun get the Onslaught talent
I am an ammo hog i do like my recon lasgun
About to beat the fuck out my head with a hammer and play ogryn
At least the pathing before onslaught is actually good
5% melee dmg + duck & dive + 0.25s stamina regen delay reduction
Shut my brain off
nah mate
make it easier on yourself just drink some methanol
i promise it wont kill you
not sure if i am running my build in the most optimal way but i do enjoy playing with the subobtimal builds
I fell through the map LMAO
you snuck around so hard that the chaos gods took you
Some Tzeench Fuckery
how important is stability on the mk12
Not at all
👆😯 what they said
What melee weapons are good with melee vet now?
been having a lot of success with new and old chainaxe
can competently work through hordes, and also chainsaw armored elites
the ability to dodge out of sawing has helped these weapons immensely
rrrrrashaddddd
or yeah, the BM 1 shot bruiser rashad 
so fun
For hordeclear on chainaxe do you need to heavy?
How does the old Antax 5 compare with the Rashad now for horde clear?
for old chainaxe, for new chainaxe its the other way around
pretty nice in a scrap where you just wanna spam attacks
I got a pub twin hm win with a fixed scoreboard to get boss damage ! Visibly am better at mob handling than boss damage
slightly inferior but still good, because it lacks the finesse stat to increase swing speed and weakpoint damage
I see thanks! Any advice on blessings for these?
Brutal Momentum + Headtaker/Decimator
headtaker is easier to use because deci drops if you miss an attack
What's the better chain axe variant?
i found them very well balanced
just depends if you want horde clear lights or heavies
Any particular blessing? Seems like Slaughter would be good?
Or is the one that's per hit counting each proc?
Slaughterer + Headtaker is a very good generalist blessing pair
I have always preferred the MK 2. Shoots the fastest and still has good damage. Is also the most ammo efficient.
How long did you suck off Melkers for this
What are the attack patterns for the rashad mk2 combat axe?
I personally like the M3 just so I can 1 shot reapers. It always feels amazing. And also its ammo positive with Survivalist and Shock Trooper
was the dodge distance nerf for the shovel ever explained? i recall them reducing the dodge count but the dodge distance reduction seems to have been a silent nerf
is this salvageable if i replace both blessings for headhunter and deadly accurate
m1a inf lasgun
Could be better, but it's workable.
I certainly would rather not grind for 6 hours just for a God roll
honestly opening salvo isn't that bad on 1a, I'd swap BtE and unyielding for deadly accurate and flak
alr thanks
Guessing theres no ability changing talent that increases movement speed aside from the aura that gives a meger 5%
he looks like an abhuman
if I buy the 40K Rogue trader do I get the cosmetic bundle in darktide?
No
The rogue trader bundle is just a crossover sale.
Like fortnite with their crossover skins
Not even
5% movespeed each
if nobody answered you yet, it’s the same as antax: horizontal lights and overhead heavies
I know the aura. Missed the small stone one. But man having no movement speed hurts my brain
oo aye okay
If you really want high movespeed, hold heavy attack on knife or hold bayonet attack on helbore rifles
They grant a movespeed bump, which will stack on top of the 10%
i disagree since it is in universe content
actual crossovers usually break immersion completely due to being from others worlds
still have a point though
just conveniently timed 😉
you were just explaining to someone
You aren't wrong.
do u guys like the mark III shovel?
Don't care still overpriced garbage like all skins these days
just being conversational
I meant game wise. He's not getting it for free for buying rogue trader. But true crossover was the best word I could think of in that moment
ye
excepting psyker i like them, just not for me
it's clearly a crossover though
the pirate customes looks ass imo except ogryn body
that ogryn head tho... like a condom...
noooo
the disrespect to floppy naval hats
lol
Haven't even looked honestly
at least the psyker hat is back i really wanted to get
okay but damn i wish we had a power cutlass to go with the strangely common pirate outfits we get
true i might buy it
its very expensive... but its looking good
It’s very good
Almost looks like a space marine bolter in terms of color scheme
Reminds me of the retributors chapter from the astartes fan film
bolbgun
Any suggestions for perk and blessing?
i like the.. bleed stacking
but its personal maybe not meta
also i like maniac aswell
yeah I want bleed but I'm wondering if it's worth it over dmg from perks
stamina to maniac or flak
rev it up to thrust
kinda annoying i cant run with the chainaxe charg attack
i feel it whenever switching off from a weapon that can’t sprint with a heavy
Finally done the breakpoint calculations for a couple of my guns
side dodging closer is silly but my solution
I now have perfectly optimized builds for them and can proceed to spend 700k dockets to brick a Rashad
guys
i found something suprising
really really suprising
so when they reworked aggrpina HH
they turned it into like a mid range version of the HHs
it got faster fire rate than
vrak 3
But higher recoil and worse TTK against most targets I think
TTK?
They did buff it but it’s still an awkward middle child
The best dps headhunter is still vraks3
Agripinaa9 is usable
But vraks3 is better in most situations
It benefits from headhunter better, has lower recoil, and higher dps
it
benefits alto from
deadly accrurate
though
it got really good damage honestly
i would argue in the mid range
cuz of its fire rate
it can kill more targets
but vrak 3 beats it in long range
cuz of its zoom...
Hey, u guys like the old laspistol? I rolled a 378 with only low mobility. What build would you run with it? Which melee weapon suits best?
am i dumb or does previewing some of the premium cosmetics crash anyone else
I like the old one a lot more than the new one
Definitely viable, works good with basic focus fire build
But works amazingly with weapon specialist
The guaranteed crit you get after a melee kill gives you a 2 shot crit string when swapping into it, which kills any trapper/bomber/flamer instantly
that sounds really cool, does a fast melee weapon makes sense? What are good perks and blessings for the autopistol?
Yea the lower zoom is much nicer
Vraks autoguns have this stupidly high zoom that’s very awkward for close range
I like Devil claw 4, chainaxe 4 and sapper shovel 3 are my favourites
All 3 have great horde clear and give an answer to crushers which the laspistol struggles against
I like dumdum and infernus, but raking fire is also good instead of infernus
im gonna say this devil claw 7
is the one iwth most
intresting moveset
takes alot ot get use to
but goddam its fine
fun i mean
are the new shovels any better than the OG shovel?
Depends if you like the OHKO abilities
Different
New shovel is a bit like a thunderhammer
vraks 7 feels like an autogun version of the 1a lasgun
Old shovel is stagger city
A thunderhammer that holds it's charge indefinitely.
XII rather
nah it fires faster than it
It doesnt like shooting as fast as the 1a
At least til you hit something/swap off shovel.
Cos u get more dps from surgical than spamfire
can the new shovel one shot crusher?
Yes
Vraks 7 has absurd finesse and relies on deadly accuratr
To the point where ur better off with 1 crit headshot than 2.5 normal headshots
Or 8 body shots
Its hilariously ludicrous
I get like 300 damage on a rager bodyshot
And 2.4k on a head
deadly accurate is kinda nuts
only thing holding vraks back is marksman keystone being rather mid overall
it potentially has some good rending and toughness regen for you but potential is a big keyword there
speaking of which flat rending just beats onslaught for vraks guns
it's interestingly more useful on full automatic weaponry
as you can use one of your possibly 50 bullets to kill a single dude and carry your ten stacks
which blessings to go with the new vet shovel please?
although the start stop babying of stacks reminds me of 1.0 psyker
I'm guessing decimator and what else?
I mean stacking it is not the only problem
where they just vaporized from 6 bb stacks to 0 after three seconds
the rending you get from marksman focus is only active with 10 stacks, hella inconsistent for slower guns
it takes uncanny? put uncanny on it.
unsure about deci, have both on my old shovel. max stacks ws mutie hits for 1300 on heavy
ah damn it that's the only t4 blessing i'm missing for it
thanks
uhhh was this supposed to cover the eye?
How do you do, fellow Veterens.
Isn't shooting the best? I sure do love it and am very good at it.
If I built a plasma vet to beat Karnak bell mode. What stats, perks, and blessings do I go for? Barely ever touched plas in my life
Scripture? No no, these are pages from the astra mili-thingy field manual
WE FINALLY GOT POWER CYLER 4 AFTER 15K PLASTEEL 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭
grats
15k is pretty cheap for such a rare t4 blessing tbh
i got my t3 pc after like 30k or so...
400h in this game and still haven't seen pc4, tired of trying to craft sword at one point and never seen it in shop
Trying to see how cool the combat blade can be on vet, I really do like the jab -> heavy 3 combo they have on it
Because if you have the serrated blade talent, the jab adds a bleed stack and the Mercy Killer blessing adds +60% weak spot damage on enemies with bleed stacks
i might be crazy but it feels like mercy killer has been applying on the initial strike when i use it
Got two Mk IV ChAxes, contemplating which one to keep 🤔
how do I not fuck this up prodigiously
take bloodletter from one chainaxe and put it on the 1st one
Swap out Elites for Flak, tbh. Not bad.
Thanks but what are the good plasma stats though? What's most important and what's the dump stat?
Bloodletter and Slaughterer? Is Thrust not that good on the Mk IV ChAxe?
only if you want to one shot crushers i think
Ahhh
if I discover I can one tap the flak heads already, but struggle with Maniac, should I Do maniac instead? I guess I could experiment with either since the slot will be tinker-able
only time I used thrust was on a shovel and the time to charge was obscenely longer than I thought
also I'm guessing Onslaught IV isn't that big an upgrade from III
Yeah, do Maniac if you can 1-tap Flak Elites without the Flak Perk
Hmm, fair point, I was thinking I'd at least benefit from some of Thrust because of the ChAxe's heavies for horde clear.
I wish I had Headtaker IV but nope, no dice
a whole week of Melk bringing me absolute dogwater items
in fact replace slaughterer for bloodletter, regardless of it being tier 4
because headtaker will proc as you rend enemies to shreds instead of after the fact, being more useful vs enemies you can't just headshot (everyone except infantry)
I dont know what to replace that crit dmg with
Kantrael mk x Heavy Las pistol Blessings and Perks?
Think I'll take the first ChAxe, replace the Crit Damage with Maniac, then swap Headtaker II with some other Blessing, then swap that Blessing when I get Headtaker IV
You gotta point with not being able to get the most out of Thrust.
Yeah, that's waaaaaay too long a commitment
what weapons and abilities cooks up with marksman focus?
its the only keystone that i still didnt get a feeling into and hadnt played anything cool with so far
Rapid-firing guns proc Marksman Focus the easiest, so I think the Infantry Autoguns get a lot of mileage out of them?
I like running it with my Kantrael MG Ia
Been off the game for a few days
but I heard there was a new mission with a 'secret' difficulty
anyone playin rn tryna run that?
Thanks!
Lotta LFGs in the #vox-lfg-nasa channels currently tryna do it/find people to do it
interesting and do you need exec stance to hit breakpoints?
Not sure, and I honestly don't know! 
thats okay
Yeah, I don't tend to use the Psykhanium much. I'd rather just bring a Build into a Run and try to complete it.
Mobility, at least for me.
Does thrust stacking speed scale woth attack speed or finesse speed bonuses?
I run inf lasgun with focus target
if only i could dump stability 
aahh for this one im looking specifically for a weapon to run with marksman focus
so i can make use of that keystone
You don't actually need a lot of Stability either, worst comes to worst you can take Determined/Suppression Immunity so trying to shoot back at Gunner Packs doesn't fuck up your aim as bad.
Oh yeah marksman focus i feel like is def better for infantry lasgun
I just also rely on my melee a lot and focus target dmg boosts are for both weapons
Imagine if stability meant how stable your lasgun is before exploding (hadron bricked it)
So it works
And its consistent dmg
Marksman focus i recommend m1a and mk12 infantry lasgun
Rn m1a has more dps
what are the differences?
You can also use any IAG or my personal favorite helbore lasguns
i cant get into helbore 
M1a has medium firerate and "medium" (cracked) dmg whereas mk12 is supposed to be the slowest shooting highest dmg one
M1a does 200 more dps than mk12
Yes
then im pretty sure one is going to get buffed or the other nerfed
Damage per Shot vs RoF, generally
12 is the slowest, most damaging shot
4 is the inverse
MG Ia is the middle
Except the MG Ia is almost the same per-shot damage as the 12 while having vastly faster RoF, which is why it's preferred as Mateo said
The damage per shot * rate of fire is more than mk12's
hmm but still if i can build marksman focus faster, then that means higher dps anyway
My kantrael mk12
Shots fired per second is 2.5
M1a fires 3.64 shots per second
Max dmg being 262.50
oof
by a pretty considerable margin even
Yeah
what blessings should i be looking for a 1a?
and does it changes between 1a and 12?
Headhunter and deadly accurate yeah
awww\
In DPS, yes. However the 12 still has a faster TTK with headshots.
hardron had to brick it
Thats true
If you have to between Perks or Blessings for the Kant Lasguns, choose Blessings
Yeah always
Often with the Inf lasguns what matters most is TTK over raw dps.
yeah the trick between the MG12 and the 1a is that the 12 is trading overall dps for up front alpha. there are target specific situations where it wins out by only needing a single shot vs 2.
Since you have high volumes of targets you need to kill quickly.
but that swings the other way against beefier targets
Makes sense
But in the end with the changes, they're all roughly on par in performance for viable weapons.
I still prefer the 12 if I have to pick one variant.
Easier to line up headshots than with the Ia.
Especially at range.
The recoil becomes noticeable with the faster fire rate lasrifles.
Oh definitely

Stopping power is your dmg modifier against armoured enemies
That stopping power really hurts.
I would say 2nd most important stat
Yeah
I was typing in holy shit thats an amazing roll and stopped when i saw the 55 stopping power
hahaha thats my life in a nutshell
But hey
You have t3 headhunter there
So you can get that blessing and have it ready for ur next one
i have t4 learned 
Damn..
Power sword + Infiltrate = Invincible ninja
what is the best loadout for melee vet?
this is proably the worst place to ask that
Power sword plasma gun
i got power cycler 3 on my first PS at hadron
knife or you kiss boys
ive been using the knife for a while 😛
mercy killer ?
uncanny strike is best
what should i do with the perks on that?
wait what
flak armored?
im asking because i want to be not useless at the twins and melee vet is the way to go, but im not sure just left side plus ps is the loadout lol
this chats full of 100 hour heresy players
they dont know whats good
this is what i use and its pretty disgusting with the punch combo
that plasmagun overkill lmao
ah i figured knife was the play, sad that i dont keep a good one
Might have taken some of his targets away lol
just snagged this badboy
concecrate RIGHT NOW
how much plasteel do you get on the twins from heresy? i wasted...a lot of it trying to bless axes and other guns last night
I know the room before the end fight has a fair amount
But I can't say if it's above average

How does that happen ? Do you just upgrade to blue ?
i have exclusively played damnation since beta
Does damnation give more diamantine ?
I meant how do you have so much diamantine and so little plasteel
I heard it's a problem in general
plasteel is more common lower difficulties
Guess I need to run more 2s lol
yea its blessing hunting from grey to blue in my experience
even t4 blessing hunts take more plasteel, diamantine is just kinda useless
i hate seeing funnycube
depends on your build
what difficulty you play
ranged dmg immunity is good all around if you are non stealth
2 dmg blessings if you are greedy
dumdum/anything, combine the ranged immunity with the left side thing at the bottom, i forget what its called
dodging gives stamina
duck n dive
yea bsaically, i would actualyl change your perks at that point
crit chance is so giga on columnus and then a damage perk
columnus crits and weakpoint hits are nasty, you can do like 2000dps to a mauler easy
you don't get more plasteel from t2
you just get near-zero diamantine
in damnation you earn about 3:1 plasteel to diamantine ratio, but you use about 4:1 ratio while consecrating
so people accrue more diamantine than they can spend over time
Decided to switch to a plasma gun + shout Vet for HM Twins. This is the first Plasma gun I ever crafted. Anything I should change? Thinking of changing flak to carapace
No unarmoured?
Thats missing a pretty nasty breakpoint on gunners
carapace for crushers and twins/maulers headshots seems pretty value yeah
no gunners in that fight I think
Elites then you want maniac if gunners are not a concern
plasma vet can take care of that, leaving the rest of the team free to beat on the twins
I think that fight spawns scab ragers, not dreg ragers
but dont quote me on that
_>
It's all Scabs, far as I remember
yeah same
Yeah that's why I'm switching to plasma. The bosses don't bother me it's the just the crowd and elites that are a pain in the ass. And yeah it's just scabs
There might be an extreme edge case where focus target exec stance plasma with +flak can 1 tap head on ragers
But thats a rough build
if flak doesnt matter for the rager bp then do carapace yeah
Maniac for the specials?
Yes
ok
It needs it for flamer
that's pretty good too then, but that fight spawns less flamers than stg
it's mostly elites
Mostly Scab Mobs (Shooters and Melee both), Scab Ragers, Crushers and Maulers, yeah
Thanks for the advice I'll try it out tomorrow. And yeah it's mostly elites that spawn
getting yoinked by trappers in the gas phase can be death sentence though
I think cara on plasma is not good
sure but your dmg improves
Also take gloryhunter instead of gets hot
this shit is so demanding that solo ttk is not the only relevant factor. if you make it easier for a teammate to finish off a crusher beacuse you did 25% more dmg with your two uncharged shots, then that's still worth
Kinda? I dunno if it helps ttk nowadays ngl
Not when so much shit 1 or 2 shots crushers
keeping the arena clean of big melee elites is probably the single most important thing you can do for pubbing the twins fight. premades can optimize into other roles (a void shield shredder like a gunlugger ogryn with a stubber is reeeaaaally useful) but yeah
hard mode specifically
We just ran chain weapons for the people on boss duty
ive pubbed it like 3 times now
Helbore bayo mvp
maybe eu is cracked
impressive
Ngl i still think the helbore buff is a mistake
I only failed miserably in pubs
had to get a good premade and then it took us 3 tries
its a thing i noticed
when i play with my NA friend we get the biggest assdraggers but when i solo on eu i have 3 terminators spawncamping everything refinery gaming style
someone please pin this
what does breakpoint mean?
If ur still wondering.
Revolver, New Shovel, Weapon Specialist
we need raider io for this game
A breakpoint is a point where the number of shots to kill a target changes
new shovel with weap spec is absurd bonkers
I have no friends that play darktide so I have to go public. Got close to beating the twins in HM but just got absolutely swarmed haha.
Like against a 1.4k hp target. If u deal 1350 damage its 2 shots to kill, but 1450 damage is 1 shot
1.4k damage is thus the breakpoint
ah i see, ty
I'm Asia+Pacific, so it took me 2-3 different LFGs here and around 5-6 hours cumulatively before I got 'The Bell Tolls For Thee' 
I haven't played in like a month did the vet tree get unfucked yet
I like it right now personally but ymmv
Lemme get u the full build
I preferred old vet ngl
terminator vet with only 2 builds
I get to shout at everyone and never have to reload my revolver with new vet
Which mk of new shovel was the one with the heavy strike downs?
mk3 shobel
nothing will compare to old camo expert 😔
I mean unwavering needed to go
Eh fuck guess I'm a zealot main now.
I did the hm twins with devilsword, revolver, shout and middle keystone
For the extra damage and team wide buffs
I mean the old vet is basically still in with left tree
Yeah but the right tree was chefs kiss
Right tree is pretty good right now
Pretty sure the trench drill one used to deadass be 20-25% extra swing speed
smonk grenade on top 💯
It was 15%
Now its 10%
They nerfed the rending too
debuffs are brittleness so yeah
So many moving parts that are completely opaque to the average player, no wonder pubs are shit
Nah pubs are shit cos they dont learn fundamentals
Like how not to get cornered by 5 poxwalkers
Weapon specialist brings your attack speed up to 25% if you got the 10% attack speed node too
I found a fun tip for surviving the fight that is definitely totally for veterans pinky promise
You just have to kill like any 1 enemy with your gun lol
Or how not to shoot poxwalkers while teammates are adjacent 
On top of a 25% damage buff. A 25% finesse buff and a 10% crit buff and brittleness on crit and...
Chainaxe is going to be OP next patch btw calling it here.
is picking the max focus stack increase to 8 worth it, doesnt seem like it
well shit. yet again, I waited too long to jump up to auric quickplay and discovered that its easier than dam like dam was easier than her
Yes. Cos it also invreases the buff stacks for redirect fire
what is redirect fire?
ah
That one accumulates stacks for each target down and fully resets even if u pop something at low stacks
Yeah I personally fudged around on heresy difficulty for a week before jumping over to damnation aurics and finding them genuinely easier.
So if u have 8 stacks of redirect. U kill a guy with 1 stack of focus target, the full 8 stacks refreshes
damn, the only reason I didnt take max focus stack increase to 8 is because most things die pretty quick before it builds
Redirect and Target Down were pretty clutch for the twins hm
Get Rodin outta here asap
4 ogryns
Anyway ya'll ever have a teammate announce they gotta take a sloppy ass shit mid-mission and then dip for like 15 minutes
Gotta say, chattiest elevator I've ever been in. I found out more about the Zealot's irl hobbies than I ever wanted to.
Well no but usually it’s me that needs to do that
