vet with VoC is good too
at least one
btw how did you send your skill tree? I wanna show you minew
i whas thinking to actualy be a ZEALOT chainsaw build with clesing corruption aura
I run this #1158835044006232215 message
but i just have to hope to find people to do it with ones i unlocked hardmode since i never beated the twins in normal mode yet
Got a few more hm win today with it. Dropped wound for thoughness
I posted a video of it earlier
Well, i kinda selected the smoothest run
hey, we could get two more soldiers and try hard more but in T2
Seems pretty good, shame I don't have a decent plasma pistol
Imo vet is not greatest at putting dmg on boss, but it bring a fuckton of utility and indirect dmg with mark
Also good at picking elite and special
Now that you mention it, I should get a new plasgun
or maybe that C5 or whatever that rifle is, it looks OP
you're right, I should start doing that
vet is the safety net in karnak HM
Also: take improved box
that what i mostly focus on as a helbore as well just use mark to find all the elites and lazer them down
Here if you wanna see an example. Again, not representative it was cleaner than usual: #veteran-class message
OK now I agree
I need one of those
i ussually go for the spotting keystone its literally free damage
"close range dmg" what does that mean? wha enters in that category? being close to the enemy while shooting the gun gives it more damage?
Close range is currently defined as anything at or within 8 meters.
Which is also the range for melee weapons.
Woah, my sword has 8 meters range ? 
It may not seem like it, but yes.
Guess i studied the blade
holy emperor really?
my god
and, practically, let's say
dumdum would be useful in a combat scenario?
Depends on the weapon.
I usually play at a distance, my main loadout consists of that
but for the twins I've been forced to change my playstyle if I want to beat them
highly effective on something like the columnus
on AG you probably want fire frenzy
Columnus Mk V for instance?
yeah I guessed as much, the thing is, I don't play ogryn
Not saying vet is bad. Just lowish boss dps
nah
dum dum is "bugged" and boosts ur dmg for all ranges
also takes 7 shots to get all 5 stacks, don't ask why
Then it's usually decent. The Columnus doesn't necessarily need blessings to perform optimally.
Ay
ma gawd
I mean 
I saw the loadout of this gamer and he told me that it performs very good in the fight
Now I'm grasping at every advantage I ca take for the fight
Does not change that ogryns does it better
^
oh lord
Ogryn does literally anything better
On hardmode infiltrate vets just help their teammates die faster.
for vet, going into karnak HM, imo ur best guns are helbore 1/2, plasma and columnus mk5
good thing I already have a plamsa, that perhaps needs changing for one better
Also no need to insigna me i litterally posted a video of it earlier. With scoreboard at the end
And i fixed boss dmg on it
helbore gets to do ok dmg to both bosses without swapping weapons, can bully ragers
columnus mk5 has very high dps and can melt rinda shield in less than 2 seconds from full
plasma can cleave the melee elites
i dont have plasma but i have like 8 difrent helbore guns lol
It just gets old when vets running the easiest build in the game mock infiltrate
As long as they aren't mk3s, you're fine.
I'll continue this chat later, sorry guys
gotta go to the gym
melee wise
combat axe 2
power sword 6
DC sword (any, 4 or 7 preferred)
shovel
After I switched from shout to infil I never looked back
i got 4 MK3 and 4 MK1
mk1 and mk2 are the general use picks
mk3 is a special case
i hate MK2
I only ever ran exec stance until Twins forced me into shout, to be clear.
Why?
the stabing is just not strong as it is on the MK1 and the looks of it 3 reason too i hate its low damage
mk1 and mk2 have the same stab moveset & dmg
Both the mk1 and mk2 bayonets are the same though.
identical in that area
Shout is definitely the easier option for twins but I was just countering the point made that vet ranged wasn't good for it
no the MK2 got weaker stab the only thing is it can stab true armor units
and dmg is not low, just more specific in build
but i fidn that useless
it doesn't tho
It is, but your average plas/shouter is mainly good for plas'ing the elites and specials and power swording the bosses
True armor units? Weaker stab?
I said it was kinda barf and i stand by what i said
stab dmg is the same between mk1 and mk2
Not with the right builds
on same dmg rolls anyway
The mk1 and mk2 use the same bayonet damage profile.
different dmg rolls? maybe?
i rather us the MK3 if i really have to chose between MK2 and MK3
but MK1 is my general pick of everything i do like the MK3 if i just want to have more of a meele build going and just use the MK3 to blast something
But the mk3's bayonet is awful for melee.
Why are major enemies always very big and tall
like i use the MK3 more like a real sniper really
but for real i dont want to even use MK2
Not gonna argue, i dont care that much tbh and i dont have opinion on infiltrate to begin with
mk2 has similar pen/damage breakpoints on full charge as the mk1 with the same bayonet
i have done entire matches with just it in my hands, great weapon
I have done entire match with mk1 without shooting 
mk3 is basically the 4th variant of infantry lasgun in terms of playstyle
Too bad bayonet is probably crap on twins
you can hit one shot bayonet breakpoints on tons. and it still benefits from executioners stance bonuses - you can one/two shot many elites with headshot bayonet hits. its great
Ah yes, the one where I fight ghost input buffering bugs on charged to uncharged shot transitions every three shots.
MG IV - low dmg, high RoF, high sustained fire, high ADS move speed
MG 1a - balanced middle option
MG XII - heavy hitter DMR
Helbore 3 - anti-armor sniper
it's actually not that bad
u can shoot rinda's shield and stab rodin's shield
dont forget bayonet has enough impact to stagger maulers and ragers
that by itself is massive
MG1A is an M16 set to semi auto
The thing is, bayonet is weak on carapace and rather weak on flak
are the twins flak?
And twins fight is scab faction
Theyre flak
ok so basically over-equipped maulers
If you are attacking a karnack that close just use your melee

Bayonets will not help
u can stab shields tho, shields don't have that kind of armor property I think
In any case, they are not that much good weakspot on twins fight with bayo
id have to go pull numbers but besides a few very specific melee weapons, bayonet will do more dps with a +flak, simply because it stabs so fast. it hits pretty much as fast as a knife with a much higher damage profile
its eather the baronet or lazer since my shovel shure wont do anything against those guys lol
If youre doing that boss fight you probably should have a build just to do that one mission
standard shovel with uncanny 4 max stack + take a swing 4
u can vibe check any armored enemy in the game
i dont have that one and i out of materials anyway
standard shovel post base damage buff is a beast being slept on fr
becouse i use them all to get a nice role new avicorator for my zealot lol
I can handle most group of enemies at melee range with ps if that's a problem anyway
every shovel user I see is mk3 or mk7 but the standard issue actually cooks armor very well with more balanced movesets and safe stagger
i only use the normal shovel
since my krieg shovel skin cant be used on the new ones
Some patch ago you could no sweat handle groups of 30 ragers in melee 
Might be possible today as well. Might try this weekend
that is the standard issue shovel
the new shovels are good secondaries for ranged vet, especially if you build impact. lets you deal with mixed hordes pretty efficently. standard is the go to for melee vet imo
but at that point
power sword exists
I'm running combat axe 2 + helbore 2, standard shovel + plasma, power sword 6 + revolver 2
I cannot justify running anything else than ps at this point. I feel weaker with all other melee
i dont like powersword anymore its not how it use to be and i dont like it anymore the chainsword just does the stuff better now and shovel lol
i run a mk2 tac axe quite often, overlooked heavy attack profile for brutal momentum, good assassin damage. very consistent overall.
but i got block efficiency 20% stamina 1.5% and uncanny strike and limbsplitter
I doubt i could do a quarter of the dumb psy challenge i put on myself with other weapons
Like the ogryn grand slam
10 crusher, 2 bulwark, 1 po
Good luck
you know that the only weapons i dont want to even play anymore is axes i feel so useless against hords with it
brutal momentum is just 100% necessary, unfortunately
Axe needs to be crafted for horde
however with the right setup you cleave heads of every melee standard enemy, so
guess who is the veteran player and who is ogy/zealot 
Deactivate team score. It is noise
I like to see who hogs resources
christ that is so much damage taken, you guys actually won that map?
Chainsword heavy attacks are a good counter from my experience
Simply still the PSword still isss meta
Feeling and like balance are... complex
this was auric damnation maelstorm, with waves of dogs
Oh my
i dont think powersword is meta anymore as i feel the chainswords just do everything better now but that just me
There was carnage
it feels weaker way weaker then it use to be back in the days
Powersword hasn’t been the same since release bc it used to have a duration for its charge, not a body limit
The only thing Psword seemingly struggles in is, it's so blessing dependant
Actually last ps change was ps6 buff
I had a chainaxe iag loadout for it
I msan
It was so strong they had to add a blessing
Back in release you could actually slice through an entire horde with one cleave
and now chainswords are now buffed it just feels better to run that now
Yes when the PS sword had infinite cleave
But now it stops after 2-3 pox walkers, so it’s useless for the most part
Yeah it was the strong
Chainsword meanwhile is consistently high damage
Its still strong now regardless
powersword still has giga cleave
release powersword was the best melee weapon in the game, we all know that
powersword whas nerf when they added the skill tree update so
chainweapons cant compete with it in cleave
It had infinite cleave that was toxic
Also
even chainsword can cleave too
It doesnt only cut through 3
powersword is perfectly fine rn
and i dont need to chage it
That's a liiittle disingenuous
its in a good place, strong, but at least the other weapons compete with it for niche uses
I assume you were one of the people who quit after PS nerf
which is what i think they want
but I guarentee you its good
In my experience, I charge, slice, and barely make a dent in a horde
That just sounds like uh, I dunno what to say
you just need right blessings for PS
Yeah
P Sword Is now blessing dependent, but if that is met, it is very meta.
The charge stopping just means you have to click a few more times.
There is also a pattern to it.
Block-shove-charge-swing.
Meanwhile if I use a chainsword I can atleast stun them a bit and give me a better chance and more time to work
Its blessing reliant
PS has the pure power, but many other weapons have other, better uses, like impact stagger, no charge up while maintaining good power, stuff like that
it just dus not feel the same no more i got power cycler tier 4 and supercharge tier 4 on it but i dont feel like its good anymore
Look all im saying is its all fine to run what you like
i just rather use chainsword and shovel now
What do those do exactly?
boltgun just isn't good still
and i sure as hell not gona use MK VI powersword
sure
Mark6 💀
I think i found the issue 
power cycler give 2 extra charges and
+4 stacks f brittleness on energised hits
Mk6 is the better ps rn
I love it regardless
That doesn’t sound very useful apart from fighting bosses
but i only use the MK III powersword
I exclusively run PS on sharpshooter helbore builds
and run chain weapons on melee vet
Also better secondary blessing is no longer slaughterer
Ppl will say bm. I prefer sunder myself
i want to use a boltgun again but i need to get some blessings extracted and better roles for it
I’m still using disposable bolters before I find one with god stats
Whatever the RNG gods give me in store with okay perks is what I run with until something better pops up
i got one with cavalcade and shattering impact with flack armor perk and damage range elites
Oooh that’s really good
Bolter is definitely not what it used to be. It is arguably a different gun compared to patch 12
I’m searching for something with 75+ in every stat bar
I will find the holy bolter 😔
its difrent but same time i just like useing it time to time to feel like a sister of battle lol
Its like a sniping gun now which is goofy ah
but it works
I still use bolter on hordes and everything in between
you are the reason I'm scared to hit quickplay 💀
Good 🤪
holy zealoits breaking runs
2 minutes in ''I need ammo, need ammo, ammo''
Nuh uh, I always have at least 50% ammo
i play quickplay al lthe time 
Usually more
Play with a boltgun maniac like me?
well it deppens on my mood
Price: all your ammo pickups
If the keystone was good at least it could be salvageable
sometimes i just a charging baronet stabing psycopath krieg
Atm i only do boss until i get bored
Result: everything dies in gore fireworks
sometimes i just a commisar screaming out loud and sometimes i just like to be a CADIAN runing with a infantry las gun or boltor lol
Ppl are getting better at twins in any case
are they tho
Or at least i am
i not play the twins at all
not gona try join randoms anymore on it as mostly i just see the loading screen 90% of the time becouse they kick me out

Its literally easier to carry bad teammates in auric maelstorms than the hm twins
Thats because twins hm are harder than auric mael
That's fiine
i play auric 4 times with some friends but i never done it with randoms
and all the vets in hm were playing VoC
I’m not going to do the hm just because ringing the bells is annoying
I do think ogryn is the better class on it
I'm just saying like, can't be saying x weapon bad, because I don't like it
I dunno Its just theory crafting stuff @compact bear
We gotta look at this kind of stuff from an objective standpoint
ogryn/zealot is the ideal yes
2 ogy 2 zealot
if you feel adventerous you can even throw in a voc vet
psyker dont even try
in your opinion for me some stuff are shit in my eyes and are bad in my opinion and some done hell
not with a random team
people use to talk bad stuff about SIENNA players
do shredder nades count for the non bounce frag grenade penance
only 1 person needs to already have the bell unlock and you will all have a teleport to the twin fight. plus at that point you can just complete it on uprising if you want the bell unlock, then switch to damnation
and i whas a sienna main lol
Psyker is prob weakest on it
Preach‼️
crowd control is meaningless you want to burn everything asap
That's okay but from an objective standpoint many of these weapons are still very good, the best even
psykers who bring smite to hm
dont understand the assignment
they fail at planning stage
Muthfukin columnus
Anyway, i had 3-4 hm win today in pubs. It is not impossible at all
and that fine i just dont feel like some are like autoguns i rarely even use those
Hold on, smite would be okay when the maulers and ragers roll by no?

for sure
only one i ever liked as a auto gun whas a MK VIII infantry autogun
Or do you just sacrifice too much damage
Run aoe bomb staff with the blessing that applies brittleness
would be better to outright nuke them
That's valid
Will this work on veteran?
u gotta kill them cuz smite will run out
Print screen my fren
you get like 10 of them on you and you get cornered

it's better to drop 2 tinkered frags and kill them asap rather than stun lock them
there smite could help
but like
here is the issue
you're not winning
you're breaking even
the twin with plasma will keep spamming mines and shoot at you
seriously trauma staff applying brittle works well
Damn hardmode twins really feel like we planning for raid Night fr
what blessings do you want on assault chainsword for vet
looks god the critical strike is nice i got devastating strike and rampage on mine if i whas abled to change rampage i will have
Smite is a problem because you can’t do damage with it
yea I dont hate it
Trauma staff can do some damage, cc, and also debuff. And you still have room for assail
I like it, haven't played hardmode yet though lmaoo
This feels like FS is setting the stage for like raid mode bosses in the future
With wacky mechanics
crit dmg perk is bad
shred 2 is low lvl
replace those two imo
twins hm is 100% a damage race of 'do you guys have enough damage to clear all of this and fight bosses'
i ended up running full frag grenade build with all grenade buffs to clear out trash while the fire oggy killed the bosses
Nope
Crit damage crit chance sadge
eh i like devastating strike really just for the cleave
what are the best blessings for the assault chainsword
There’s better cleave
it's just bad
savage sweep and wrath both way better
wrath is better and triggers off of regular hits
can be but for me it works
Why run a cleave blessing when you can just run a weapon with better cleave
And then build for damage
dev strike really need a massive buff for it to be competitive with the other cleave blessings
unfortunately
chainsword's special basically is irrelevant unless u have bloodletter
but it needs rampage + wrath/savage sweep
I don’t understand, why am I enjoying this gun so much?
because AG mk1 is good
it just goes hard
all of the regular autoguns have been buffed into p good spots tbh
columnus for mag dumping
graia for middle
AG for still being able to tap fire heads
Nice modifiers too
Woo
Oh holy shit, that's great
I started running this thing on my zealot for the twins but now I can’t put it down
is there an updated list for the weapons and their blessings
oops not that
thanks
what
They're all fantastic for Zealots, but kinda ass for Veteran imo. I'm also addicted to the revolver for vet though 🤷♂️
I run Columnus with my Zealot
Me on vet for the past 10 days
uninstall full auto mod
and see if you still like it
Done it before, really nice even without the mod
i mean long enough for RSI to kick in 
I only hold the button down when hipfiring, when adsing it’s faster to tap fire
what gun should i use for make every shot count?
Revolver Plasma Shotgun Bolter
pick your poison
sigh back to the grind
So for quickdraw revolver, Speed loader goes to Handcannon for sure, but any thoughts on the other change?
Sustained isn't bad for how low the mag is, though its far from ideal
Replace sustained fire with trick shot
crucian roulette also alright ig
what armor class do the twins have?
is determined worth taking for vet
Head is carapace, and the body is flak.
Twins confirmed to be just big ol maulers
IIRC the reason Sustained Fire is bad is because the game defines a Salvo as shooting as quickly as possible without stopping. If you hesitate for a moment before shooting the next shot, your Salvo is over and you lose the bonus
I just figured since this was the fan the hammer revolver, you would still end up seeing it come into play vs harder targets
And it + a more relevant perk than reload speed might be better than reload + one of crucian/trickshooter
What does trick shooter do? Faster reload after sqs kill?
Sustained precision hits give power
which i'm iffy on how consistent it is with this things recoil/spread
Huh. Everyone kept saying Rinda took more damage from ranged
Melee all the shields I guess
Especially Ronald McDonald
I think she does if you look at multiplayer, she is literally takes more ranged dmg
...the shield counts as flak?
does the same apply to the standard assassination captain shield?
btw what are you proccing burn with?
probably the ult
even if the twins don't count as unyielding, burn still does decent damage?
Bruh the OW2 shop is so dumb. 🤣
karnak HM is just suffering but it's pretty fun
I just want the insignia 
Gather a bunch of vets and all use boltgun only?
this is the one fight where u need to specifically build team synergy
Run difficulty 5 just for the lols
probably, as people figure out better strats
One ogryn with a strong slap:
I did it with plasma gun and all grenade talents to kill the melee elites
wait so shields count as flak armor?
good to know then
carapace and flak bonus damage for the shovel
I suggest u play the fight urself and see if that works as good as u think
so gunlugger ftw again?
U need one for sustained high dps
And probably another Ogryn on taunt to control aggro
Doesn’t work when their shields are up
Well you just aren’t slapping hard enough if their shield is up
If you’re slapping correctly it’ll break the shield
Me smrt youz see 
Just go play Karnak HM urself and see if it works as good as u think it does
Sometimes I go on difficulty three as an Ogryn and I bully daemonhosts
that's a staggering amount!
Plasma on headshot can stagger in like 2 shots I think
I've got a power sword with Power Cycler 3 and Brutal Momentum 3 and one modification left. Do I upgrade power cycler to 4 or replace Brutal Momentum with Wrath 4?
It does actually thanks
Only other option is replacing 25% Carapace with Maniac
Yeah I'm trying to build for twins hard mode
Rad, thanks
Good to know. I'm glad I asked here first then
My build is VoC melee with revolver
Power sword build is power cycler 4 + BM/sunder
the difference in PC3 to 4 isn't absolutely mandatory for the mk6 IMO, especially if what you need is boss killing power
the two horizontal lights are the important ones for horde clear, and even with PC4, you can still only get off the push stab + overhead combo since for some reason you lose power trying to block and get off a second stab
It's actually remarkable looking at the # of hardmode twins attempts I've made and counting how many teams collapse within the first 45 seconds.
A real build filter this is.
I mean yeah, pretty much.
Even if no one dies, if no damage is being put out then you know.
On the plus side, this is the fastest method of docket farming I've encountered.
my second team had the first 10s down pat, we could deck both bosses and get to the next phase pretty quick
but the ads were what constantly killed us
What's ads?
not exactly the best representative of a coop game lol
solo stuff is generall much different than group, you know that
Oh. Like trash, or everything?
"additional spawns" or something akin to that, everything except the bosses pretty much
It would be nice if we could get standard OD green camo for guns via Commissary
Ohhh. Okay.
Should I lean into my power sword for my build on hard mode? I was gonna take more support talents
Also considering switching from revolver to plasma
With Veteran in hardmode, your melee is more important.
And ranged is just for anti-ranged weakness shield on the melee twin.
Ciagv?
Still learning shorthand, thx
Use that to drain shield? I thought ranged was weak to shields
The shield properties on the twins are different from the usual boss.
ranged twin's shield is weak to melee
melee twin's shield is weak to ranged
Rodin is weak to melee (3x dmg)
what are the top perk rolls on curious for vet?
chain weapons are great vs shields
Maybe combat knife to drain shield, then plasma when it's down? Knife is my main weapon usually
Fair enough. I'm pretty good at surviving, but dodging like a maniac, my usual method, doesn't seem to work well with the mines
I'm a Zealot with the mindset of a Veteran.
It was Deathspitter and Dumdum for the Columnus mk5 right?
what’s the difference between torso and center mass?
I have a Graia Infantry Autogun with Raking Fire and Dumdum
oh i see
Along with a sweepy Knife with Lacerate and Mercy Killer.
I find it funny how the twins have accurate modeling of the lower torso being unarmored, but the scab stalkers/shooters who have no armor there still count as flak armored
The Scab Stalkers have unarmored arms
yup
Tried making a Veteran-inspired build for Zealot
Focusing on the gun and precision.
didn't puri post the charts tho #veteran-class message
oh u mean for twins specifically
i just get the sense of the 'visual'
i can't explain it im dumb
but there's a pattern to fatshark's madness
is it possible to solo the twins?
I guess eventually some one will be persistent/crazy/lucky enough to do it
2 vs 1?
it's in the realm of theoretically possible
Well, if you're that good...
oh I am not the one to do it 
... assuming you're specifically built for it.
im just saying if someone can
I had this idea, oddly enough.
cause there is no mechanic in the fight that is not possible to solo
Pretty sure Rinda's constant aggro would make it impossible to handle the rest.
with enough movement speed you can probably outrun her, but the plasma shield break from the ranged guy is a problem
a big one
Does "Onslaught" or other powers that apply Brittleness effect boss shield?
believe it or not, u'd probably want to group them anyway for solo trials
Apparently there’s a glitch that allows u to
the first spawn wave is always the left door when u exit the elevator. a pretty common chance for shotgunners too atleast in hard mode
the distance between rodin and that door is probably gonna have me puzzled
what is this glitch

trying to level ogryn, teams never stick together. pugs are dead, guess its only premade only here on.
A bit too disgusting to use imo
whats the best perks for MG Ia Lasgun
how many ortus offencive penances there are?
5 or more?
the usual, flakiak
I’m not sure actually, have u tested breakpoints
Which gun should I go with for a Voice of Command build? Except for Plasma and Bolter.
anything you're comfortabnle with tbh
iag columnus/agri are both good
bag's, same thing
Yea pretty much whatever. Lately I like to run columnus with onslaught or helbores with shock trooper
should I bother hitting this up again
I'm kinda giving up on getting a good roll smh
dewit
Do it. Pull the lever
gambling is good for your mental health
Dont be a quitter :)
You're at purple might as well finish it
i fucking hate that techpriest man
same, same
see what she did to my chainsword
I'll never brick it if I never hit upgrade
At this point i feel like one of those old people in a casino by numbingly clicking "consecrate" for a good roll...
been trying to get pc3/4 for power sword
gone through 7 or 8 now? still no roll
only taking them to blue to save money
Tbh I really like Bloodletter
Bloodletter feels so ehhh. Like if you can get into the habit of activating your chain weapon every swing, sure.
You can set whatever the second blessing to shred and stamina to Carapace or whatever
It's just good vs elites, you unlock a better break points in effect
SPIN. THAT. WHEEEEL
And then with bosses you get insane damage
Go to gold
If you do 90% of a ragers health with it, the bleed will finish it off instantly
Better odds
how does one get this emote wheel?
Mod
On a boss shield or bullwark? No, but I'm curious what you would bring instead
Boss shield
My game pass ran out halfway through playing a heresy Maelstrom mission
its the perks thats bad there

bloodletter is ok
And I typically just shove cleave on my chain weapons, mainly because I HAVENT ROLLED ANYTHING ELSE
Actually criminal how Hadron's holding out on me
No power cyclers for my power swords, no other lvl 4 perks for my chain weapons
is sunder worth it? I have power cycler
I prefer the one that adds impact or whatever based on how many enemies you've swung through
Rather than just straight cleave
I don't touch power sword but I figure you want power cycler + Slaughter
^Yeah ive been running the same
It’s good
It’s power cycler + brutal momentum/sunder rn
It's silly though. Get a Reshad Axe with + Flak + Unarmored and then BM and Headtaker and you can pop the heads off of 5 non-elites per light swing
No charge required
That sounds goofy af
Well it's what I run on my vet
It’s just very hard to roll
Yep lol
Sunder is probably your third best option. Power cycler is must have, brutal momentum is your best second, sunder is a generally lesser but usable replacement for bm
You can do without unarmored, but you need your headtaker stacks to be up
Unarmored is more important than flak for Rashad
Hmmm I had a lot of trouble getting Brusers w/o it
Sure
U can reach dreg bruiser one shot without flak
On a light attack?
It’s very hard to reach scab bruiser one shot without unarmored
But the real important thing is bm+headtaker
Yes
You can one shot trash with your headtaker stacks up. Unarmored lets you do wit without stacks
Because rending works on flak
I believe rending increases damage vs Unarmored as well
Rending reduces how much armor reduces your damage
It doesn’t increase your damage
Damage
Rending:
Rending has changed a bit. Before, rend was complicated and worked differently for different weapons. It scaled how much damage was blocked by different armour types but with maths making an Ogryns head hurt. Now it’s simpler. It works on anything that’s not just naked or rotting. It works on the Mutants. It works on the Monsters. It works on any armour. Any Rend you have is just added. Until you do full damage. After that it still helps you do more damage, just not as much. If you have a shovel that does 20% damage on the big Carapace guys. With 4% rend, you will now do 24% damage, cause 20 plus 4 is 24. On stuff that already does full damage, it will add 1% damage instead. It always adds 1% more for every 4% Rend you have. Still maths that makes an Ogryns head hurt. Just not as much. And it helps kill things on all weapons.
Yes, just doesn’t help unarmored & infested
Unless they changed that after somehow
It works on anything that’s not just naked or rotting
tldr, it doesn't work on unarmored or infested
It doesn't help theres about 20 enemy types, some of which share weaknesses and some who don't
Lets fucking go baby
LETS FUCKING GOOOO
Yea do it. Unless you already got something
Time to start making a vetran build to level I guess
What are people's favorite vets
eh, nothing super good. my best MG1A is only 491 rating total

grenade
my vet is my favourite vet
what I termed enforcer vet
it has a semi marksman + nade + double toughness talent setup
they're all good tbh
If you're asking about whether a weapon is worth and its got 60s minimum in everything even if a dump stat in an important stat, it's a completely fine weapon. You'll be searching for the god rolls after that
I'm a huge fan of just going full support and screaming at people to give them buffs.
basically you're tanky, provide utilities/damage through nade and have enough ranged to snipe one shot nearly everything
Cadian professional
except maulers and crushers
loose cannon has some great snark but i feel like the bit of them babbling on and on about not knowing codes is overdone
hadron bricked it
My vet is your favorite vet
wtf why acnt i send images
What kind of build would y'all suggest for this (Ignoring the fact that it isn't a very good weapon)?
What would y'all run with this?
anyway, hadron bricked this. ranged critical hit damage, infested damage, t3 no respite.
bovine vets
sad
Cutthroat for extra ptsd
Exe helbore
What kind of build would y'all run with this?
@tall torrent
Loose cannon the racketeer?
Hmmmm that sounds like my idea of fun. .
maybe cattle vets
They should have gotten it right occasionally
This is the chainaxe that lead me to victory
You know it 😘
Idk. Right now if I were to touch recons it would be a shout build with onslaught
But eh
no, they havent
the one time they land on a code is traxis-12, which does not exist
load into auric damnation, see stealth zealot with purple revolver going in
i have a bad feeling about this
whats the best build going on atm
Nice
psword with w/e range you like and shout?
Worth seeing what blue you get I guess, the rolls are good but the perk isn’t
Stopping power does matter a good bit as well
Depends on ur weapons
Lots of top tier meta options rn
What you like to play and how you like to play it 
Plasma gun seems like the solution to every problem lol
That's because the only weakness of plasma gun is horde density, which is countered by any half decent melee
JUST BEAT HARDMODE WOO
Does Pen matter if you are running 100% Rending?
discord dying?
looks like yeah
I've got like 7~ servers that're dead, both personal servers and legit official community ones
welp i finaly dit the twins on hard mode sadly dit not abled to do it but as a support zealot with a ogryn and 2 psykers it actualy went well
I just beat them on hard mode, that's what snapped discord's spine in half, me personally, I did it
in a pub no less
It was actually me winning a league game for once, that broke discord
Grats on hardmode tho, fun mission overall
Yea definitely feels like an actual boss battle, good stuff. The first time I did the mission I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the lead-up too, pretty eerie
nope, feel free to dump it if you have rending
well, it's still some damage if the pen scales beyond 100% damage
but if the pen scaling doesn't, go wild
Yea I thought it'd take place in carnival, so repurposed magistrati was pretty neat
Least I think it was that one
i.e. chainaxes doing like 175% damage to flak
Or you could wait for melks if you’re patient
This was one of my most intense matches. We beat it with 3 vets tho did get carried by the Zealot at the end hard. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2005160337
gihren96 went live on Twitch. Catch up on their Warhammer 40,000: Darktide VOD now.
boooooooooo psword
people like plasma/revolver/columnus, VoC and tagging, melee a toss up between dclaw csword new shovels and [sigh] the wish.com lightswaber
you can also dip in the left tree to get shock trooper and grab a Kantral Infantry Lasgun MG IV as the God Emperor intended
how would i go about salvaging this chain axe (emprahs gift i upgraded from purple to orange)
how would i go about salvaging this chain axe (emprahs gift that has been upgraded)
ps6 and plasma
discord had a moment 
been playing too much zealot
did you also experience a discord breakdown some mins ago?
yeah discord had an outage
oh good thought my pc was messed up
Experiencing one now
Works on my phone I think
I feel like the melee modifier for keystone might be better?
And without mercy killer, serrated blade is not worth taking
hey guys, which perks or blessings should I swap out of this plasma?
Is the discord bugged or something? Was saying over 100+ players on yesterday, and 6 today
something happen?
volatile to gets hot
get rid of volitile for gets hot or shattering impact
and swap unarmored to maniac
ammo's a bit low, but that's a great roll
Infested to maniac and thrust to bloodletter
...

does blocking do anything
Besides block?
yeah I don’t understand the question
Does shooting do anything?
besides shoot?
lmao
Volatile to gets hot
Everything else is perfect no need to change
Unarmored gives u Dreg gunner 1 shot breakpoint
U don’t have to have maniac to 1 shot both flamers in the head
Tag keystone handles that already, it’s like 1361 dmg to the head on them
Yea
I think most times I block it maybe blocks one before I’m broken
There’s a hard limit on dodges
So it’s like a last resort
Which weapon
Power sword
Use block efficiency for curios
Maybe it’s because I might dash while blocking so it drains my stamina as well
Dodge doesn’t drain stamina
It just pauses stamina regen
If u don’t have stamina regen delay reduction it’s gonna suck
whether or not the daemonhost is smash or pass
Priest can smash anything pretty good. Have you seen the thunder hammer assassin build?
honestly I have dedicated my life solely to vet
new zealot Evis is pulling me back to zealot
Make dh worth killing and we'll talk
whats up with these loading screens holy shit
DH worth literally anything and grimoires justifiable to pick up
just got back from gym, time to check melk for disappointment
Naturally
dh give achieve, nothing else. check with group if they wanna grab grimoires normally
Don’t even remember the last time someone asked, they just grab it and are told to put that shit down lmao
Especially if we’ve got two magazines left between the four of us who are critically wounded
Just have grims give significant plasteel
hmmmm
Just 366? Feels like it should be way more
mobility sub 70, ammo almost 60
Better than anything melk showed me in months
well no pc3/4 so garbage gear. back to the ogryn i go.
I still don’t have power cycler 4
i just got my first pc3 i cant dream that high yet
im just trying to get a sword to roll it so i can have it stored before goin for a "good" roll
whats the difference between munitorum VI and III power sword
10/10 would smash
6 has better move set
actually thats subjective, but people tend to like 6 way more
Based
I will never get anything better
holy
why
Flak doesn’t help ps
hmm carapace 
does having carapace changes any breakpoints to kill crusher with ps?
Depends on build, it can
thats poggers
Before capstone rework you could one tap crushers
You might be able to with tag stone idk
…the spec ops is really first timer unfriendly :p
(On Heresy even, nervermind damnation…)
One mutant charge into the green fog away from a wipe hahaha
when the quickplay veteran with 2000+ hours starts explaining basic game mechanics to you
but he's a nice guy so just add in a "yeah" every minute or so
if i ping someone with focus target multiple times, does it stack up, or what
Removes all previous stacks
Only the amount of focus target stacks you had at the time of the new ping are applied
and focus targets from different vets don't stack either
do cosmetics unlocked on 1 vet apply to a 2nd vet on the same acccount?

im bout to delete zealot and make another vet. thing feels like trash.
Well this is officially my proper set up
femboy spotted
my desk is 4x as long
Where let me beat the fucker up
be nice to the femboys
My desk is a length of butcher block I bolted onto the wall
if you touch me im going to tell my boyfriend and hes jacked so gl hf
no
Which part of them are you beating?
their dicks
Liver
thats what
Ara~
nope lights outs no one home sort of beating
seriously get y'all minds out of the gutter filithy animals
Says the ctual animal
that is impossible to ask my friend this is a vet chat after all
Just ban 97% of the server and you'll be good for awhile
normal? hah only heretics are normal
vet chat cant be normal smh
If you're horny you're clearly a slaanesh heretic
That's easily achievable if you ban the people obsessed with femboys.
Can i post a build in here for opinions on it?
Wtf
Absolutely
What blessings and perks for shovel?
What do you guys think of this build? https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9adbf175-f19c-4adf-9104-117f4448ea33/veteran-2?utm_medium=website&utm_source=gameslantern&utm_campaign=share_button
The recon las needs a buff, just sayin
tbh kinda bad
you took all the bad marksman focus bonus nodes
and you didnt take the only one that's worth taking
wym?
Swap the two red talents with two of the green checks of your choice
also no ammo aura is really bad cuz your team is just gonna suffer
I also would also take camoflage on marksman
Hmm actually just one a sec I'll make a new image
I'd also recommend ogryn damage and some form of grenade recovery
whether it's regen or grenades on kill
what exactly is camo
This is how I would change it myself
I would remove deadshot and take another in marksman
The other two aren't a big deal tbh
toughness reg is pretty good
10% rending is okay if you really want it, but it's not better than deadshot
im just trying to do hm twins so my builds all over
what is rending and supression
Rending is armor penetration, suppression is making enemies flinch when you shoot near them
Suppression should be 100% ignored, never take it unless you have to
but what about the skill that makes me not get supressed is that good?
Yes
it measn i dont get flinched?
When you're suppressed your aim gets shaky
emperor just gifted me this 
Rending means you deal a % more of the damage you would normally apply to the armor type you're striking.
Rending does not apply to unarmored or infested.
is there a good veteran guide somewherE? similar to the psyker one
Not that I know of
veteranomicon when
WHAT do you mean... it doesn't rend the flesh?
u good? 😧
Rending and Brittleness just reduce the effect of enemy armor
They don't increase your damage, they reduce the penalty of enemy damage reduction
Unarmored and infested have no armor
Rending is a buff on the player, brittleness is a debuff on the enemy
Brittleness does effect damage your allies do as well.
any tips on leveling? about 15 when i quit, before talents came out
deadshot applies when ads? thats what alternate fire means?
Just do the hardest difficulty you can survive on
is this node an overkill for weap spec keystone?
Yep.
krak grenade good?
It won't help when you're get the crit from weapon specialist. it applies to all your melee, and shots past the first one on your range, it's pretty good.
Boss damage, and kills enemy ogryn. If I take it, it's usually to kill bulwarks
It's a fine option. All three nades are viable, really.
do i lose the dodge crit chance stacks when i crit?
No, just when 8 seconds pass without a successful dodge
Which means dodging an enemy that is locked onto you
i take krak, everyone kills big ones before it goes off, i take shredder and no one can manage the big ones
duality of vet
hmm then its good
is there a best ability?
voice of command
like executioners?
Krak on crushers is usually a waste, unless you fold sveral together with Shout
oh really?
No. But Shout is the most widly applicable
Exe is good. I would never use stealth personally
shout if you know what youre doing and volley if you need some assistance with getting elites
yeah every ability shines in its own way but voc is useful in every situation, so it kinda outpaces the others
low profile so i can get shit on
but when you need a man with stealth, you NEED a man
Stealth is great for turning hordes into a 3v1 while you eat popcorn
its for reloading my weapons trust
Ez. 🤩
Brautos are very nice
Alternatively, don't use stealth and the team won't go down so often 🤔
i dont like them haha
Man, I love the plasma gun
Gross default leaderboard mod smh
Ah well theyre great when you wanna be mindless and also not have to shoot heads
it's ovenproof's
Still using the team score :v
i never fight with people online but i have to restrain myself everytime a stealth vet clutches and saves us then saying "see stealth is good to have when you guys need saving"
That's shout
Right mouse click/M2: Alternate Fire
When you inspect a ewapon it tells you what the special action and alternate actions are.
Huh lol
Thats weapon based
Not ult based
Like if you're using revolver or plasma with shout, you still need to click heads
Exactly
stealth vet critical thinking 101
I love default scoreboard SMH
I have my scoreboard pretty much set to match vt2's but with more damage details
Agri brauto and columnus IAG immediately come to mind
wish there was an autmatic good at sniping elites too
sucks u gotta go one way or another
insignia doesn't show in match anymore, is it a bug?
After experiencing the oneshot shovels and new Chaxe, is it bad that I feel Thammer is a hassle to bring anymore?
new outfit in shop? 😮
no, it's kinda fallen off a bit
No, mods.
Hammer 2 is still good
