Just don't play poker, easy 
I was born pre internet
at least im still being carded buying alcohol
that something right :^)
people still think im in college
phew
not an old fuck yet
i was born slightly earlier than internet yea
yet
ur right
no im only 35 so 2 years before inet
ij ust have to wait for digitization of the mind
at lest I have the asian gene that is deceptive 
I mean you guys could always go for surgery and look younger if you care that much 
Figures
Everything dies
and the new season of your favorite show is still airing
and you're like telling your grandkids
yeah fuck that, i want to live forever
put that shit on pls
and like
you're trying to hold on so you can see how it ends
😔
don't tell me all the bullshit that people use to cope with death
if they can live forever, they would
I want everyone to live forever
"oh it would be boring if you live forever" no fuck you
sometimes you gotta realize that its ok to let go
it's not okay
I would die screamng and crawling 
being ok with it is different than being happy with it 😔
anyway, agri shotgun is the slug one right?
ya
Nah we the lucky ones that still lives, right now lots of people kids, young, adult, and elder are dying or getting killed by anything so there's that but life itself is it's own way of suffering or in the end is how you want to see it, not to mention people with disabilities which would desire to live like us
i dont deny being lucky
but even those who are suffering still want to live 😔
well
except the suicidal ones
are there dns issues that make these super long loading screens
im not really sure, i just have ot restart when it happens
ive read somewhere that that is the case
some people calin changing dns settings can help
ye had to restart
I mean they want to for a reason, so that reason shouldn't have happened in the first place
wait what is the kantrael shotty special then?
The fire shot you mean?
fire
theres some issues like portrait making ppl lag
or turn off rtx
that made me crash
EVERY KILL, A PRAYER FOR THE DEAD
Fire shot is kinda mid now honestly
ya I know, I just mentioned it on a technicality if someone went "nuh uh, not EVERYONE wants to live" or something
ppl who dont want to live are plenty in the world. its called a death cult
DEATH IS MY BLESSING
the promise of better, instead of empty void
worship the nurgle
What is going on here in vet chat
alright people, live for a cause, don't die for one
i think kant is a bit meh but more because its role has shrunk
im running a 13900k with a 4090, stable 500/500 fiber but sometimes the game just doesnt want to work, especially those loading screens
its still pretty decent at horde clearing mixed hordes
rt off
idk, we are just having existential crisises, as well as real crisises
yesterday we had housing rants as well
but melees got so much better
I mean people specially family should've stayed close to them, none gets born with the wish to die
this is as real as internet discussions get
@fleet garden it doesnt matter how good your pc is at times, this game can be odd
people tend towards guns as anti-elites rather than anti-horde which hurts kant's standing
ya I agree
I read some of that yesterday, but to be honest I was inebriated and didn't want to think too hard lol
Hey guys, coming back to the game from launch. Can anyone link me meta builds and weapons for vet currently?
housing crisis huh...yea im just living at my parents house, gonna save up money in the bank instead of paying rent

almost every weapon is pretty good except recon
Did you beat the twins yet @serene sage
just pick one
if you want easy mode, got for voice of command with plasma and w/e wep
that you like playing
ah yes, the new Veteran class
then ask for a build
in a 4 person setting, its easy to justify a vet taking revolver/plasma/anti specialist weapon when you can count on another class coming in like psyker or ogryn that can horde clear
seems legit
ya im not saying it doesnt happen for a reason
I think your vet is slightly overweight
chonky boi
there's a reason guns have definitely moved for a preference as an anti-elite
I mean rn I'm just trying to cope of potentially not being able to end rogue trader because of bugs
even weapons that are perfectly fine like flamer have dropped in ppl's respect for them
because they're focused on anti horde
I like the columnus but my fav is still the mg XII, las weps are feeling a bit worse though than bullet ones
flamer is still good, i think the difference is vet can take abilities to one tap specialists that end runs, while zealots cannot
so vets are really kinda forced into the anti specialist role
Man it will probably be my new fav class
ive had a lot of zealots i talk to shun flamers now
ogryns feel very good to play
even for zealot guns move towards anti-specialist just b/c of how strong some weapons like revolver are
plasma is nerfed, it has sound bug 
I think revolver is okay
anyone know what perks/blessing you usually go for on the helborn and the dump stat?
anti horde guns are just not that valued
Its power is offset by reload speed and clip size
plasma?
it's still overstepping Boltgun and Plasma in term of Carapace and Monstros deletion
revolvers great antispecial for sure
it has a ~45 shot mag lol
but you better have a backup for hordes
blessings are onslaught/surgical
its reload speed is near irrelevant when you're 1 shotting specialists and can reload in between waves
Luckily you don’t use plasma for monstros unless it’s beast of nurgle
dump stat is mobility/ammo
All I want for bolter is 5 more shots
idk best current perks to hit breakpoitns
plasma isnt that great for monstrosities
ask someone else
yea bolter needs a few more shots lol
its great at deleting an entire conga line of gunners in one bullet
20/100 would be so perfect, but no, im damned to suffer andlook at 15/100
Chainaxe with bloodletter 4 tho? That fucks monstros up.
slightly better draw (20-30% faster) and 2-3 more bullets per mag
i think if the significantly buffed bolter's swap speed, or reload speed
one of those
I want dual wield 2 bolters 
that would make it good
would make the Boltgun S- tier
ty so stability isnt one
i really think they just need to buff arming speed and nerf revolver and plasma
Honestly the draw speed has been starting to get noticable
i havent used a low stability helbore so idk
but mobility is always a dump stat as logn as you keep it above 50
and ammo is irrelevant on a helbore
i was going to post boltgun build earlier but game did a memory leak
because those guns arm quicker and can still 1 shot like the bolter with significantly less dificulty
Nah. They just need to make other weapons as good as them
you have infinite ammo with shocktroop anyway
nah thats how runaway powercreep happens
plasma and revolver clearly overperform other weapons
rather nerf than buff
you dont make all weaposn over performers
kantrael mg XII buffs when?
im fine either way tbh, but i would love to see the Boltgun slightly buffed
instead of the other 2 being nerfed
the way i look at it is, if plasma and revolver didnt exist, bolter would look pretty good
but they do exist and bolter looks like shit in comparison
Thats Vet build im looking at https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9a565016-bd70-4fe0-8c82-1080bc73412e/veteran-squad-leader
thats a solid one
I think Long Shot over Charismatic will let you hit a few breakpoints on the Plasma?
I returned this game week ago so i dont know
wait so you don't play it anymore?
Alternatively you can drop all that stuff on the left and superiority complex for trench fighter, which is a huge buff
yea i'd drop charismatic and focused fire for longshot and exhilarating
You can drop redirect fire too.
exhilarating is really good with plasma imo, ranged weakspot is your bread and butter
Agreed
i thinik focus fire is useless, you're almost never getting to 8 stacks unless its a boss
Agreed
redirect fire has some utility in horde clearing as you take out marked specialists maybe, but you could flex that point as well
I typically flex out of it in favor of tinkerer for frags
you take focus fire because of redirect fire
tinkerer is good
right but ive seen myself use it
if you have focus fire
and my stacks never go above 4-5
max stacks focus fire is much more common than you think
im always marking stuff
I won't lie you are probably doing it wrong
I’ve been finding weapon specialist more valuable with plasma VOC builds.
slow down marking then?
whoever came up with the idea of binding mark to left click can slowly burn
Middle mouse button supremacy
the amount of spam last group, ugh
but at what cost? you gain, if you're actively tying to get 8 stacks on a target
Anyone who says focus fire is bad doesn't know how to make it keep a 20-36% damage buff to your team 100% of the time
yeah, my mark is middle mouse
you want to speed up marking if you want to maintain redirect fire buffs
you dont need to slow down marking
the stacks add up
because of how stacking works
focussed fire is 8 stacks from 5
Zealots?
if you kill 8 enemies with 1 stack it still goes to 8
it is a max of 12% extra damage
melee veteran...
Ah hmmm, unexpected
only thing i dont really like
about middle keystone
it takes so many pts
gotta run 2 subnodes almost required
very similar to my own build
the other two can function alone even
thats exactly what i use
except i path for hte extra stamina
honestly probably better
something something great minds think alike
Yah. Ive moved over to weapon spec with voc with plasma and it’s been awesome. Spend more time in melee, never reload, flex into gunner shootout when needed.
you can flex tinkerer with any 2 points you like, but i like tinkerer with frags
Tinkerer frags win games
extra based'
im down on focussed fire, not redirect fire
ngl
tinkered frag will clear that horde of shooters
Think ill drop comp urge for field impro
imo
i think redirect fire is a strong node
i think its better to pick up demo team
over tink
for frags
since its not already on your tree
you shold really consider taking precision strikes and superiority complex
I’m down on both focused and redirect with plasma, personally. I didn’t find they were hitting key breakpoints
those two nodes will boost a lot of damage
And I don’t care about team damage
https://i.imgur.com/qKhYKvQ.png
Praise Big E's gift!
What should i drop for em?
"did a i hear something? must have been the wind"
competitive urge for either?
then I would say rending or target down
rodin's farts 😔
rending only helps with carapace
Deadshot doesn’t work on plas anyway
Oh
For real
I like my teammates :(
Fuck them, their toughness, and their damage
yeah, so fuck them
hahaha
Not after just meeting them smh
so columnus with exe stance in low tier missions is a map clearer as long as there are some ranged enemies about
do I take them out for dinner before fucking them?
Sometimes
why before
Normally a drink or two helps ease the tension
why not dinner while fucking
they are already leeching off my refirect fire damage
and my VoC shield
a bunch of lazy communist
Buncha losers
get your own damn buffs
I wish vet had more white armor sets ngl, I wanna be a snow trooper
check out for the drip mod
if you are into that
Too complex for my shrimple mind
then live with your ugly clothes and ugly guns
YOURE ugly

man
I am so torn between supporting the shitty MTX shop
and actually making my character look nice
I have a little disposable income
My only source of income pending the new year will be donating blood 
i still have 700 leftover
the most useful its been is to shitpost being a katana wielding wehraboo
apparently I have $150 worth of uncashed checks
wait hang on
how should I spend this money?
something i just noticed
Why is one 300 less with more expensive cosmetics
How on earth does that work
What are cool horde melee weapons u like besides chaxe? I wanna try something new
power sword
Rashad. PS6. Chaxe12. Those are my go to
i like how weve had the EXACT same Commissary since launch
Like 0 additions or change ever, other than the traitor being made the vendor
Just put some more reskins in there, we will eat it up were so starved for free cosmetics
Does anyone else wish that the 25% ammo tallent was just a stat node? I feel like I never actually run out of ammo when I don't use it, and it just wastes a talent point getting to the Elite damage node
my brother in christ I dont want to continually spend money to look good in a game i already spent money on
I want moree earnable cosmetics
My sister in satan, I do
we have TWO sets that are earned, and the rest that are free are recolors behind ordos (at sometimes absurd price btw)
I use the OG chainsword
i want new penances for all the new fancy shit we got
Imagine Krieg and Catachan sub tree?
i can tell you theyre withholding all or most canon/related fits for story patch progression like if reinforcments come in or a patch about lowight fighting ect.
gota drip feed content
well you earn ordo dockets by doing missions, and then redeem them for cosmetics so technically there are multiple "earnable" sets
hmm aint they on a super tight leash by GW? thats how i understood it
no
you know what i meant.
most of the assets are already in game
understandable then.
GW does have all warhammer games on a leash this is true
i understood, just wanted to be the a-hole
fatshark just wants to spread it out to maximize fomo profits
why not consider both?
because if the assets are already in game
they would be approved
otherwise they're really wasting cash cause it costs them money every time to update the game
since they need to pay the console fee for certification
why would it cost them money every time they update the game?
because consoles
there is a fee for updating console?
ah i see
BUT
what about the weapon cosmetic? its been in the game for ages and it was never added though
Because it would eat into their sales
If you're new to fatsharks business practices
this is about par for the course
Ngl I think
vermintide 1 and 2 were also slow as heck updating
The 3 vet shovels are really balanced against each other rn
I have been listining Caiphas cain and Gaunts while working out
that makes no sense to me, how would adding weapon cosmetics eat into their sales?
Used to think mk7 shovel was a bit awkward with the super slow heavy pull-out animation but
they drip feed the single weapon skin over time
vs just letting us buy them all
Mk7 can do overhead with push atk like SI
i like the 7 more than 3, its attack pattern is better imo
sure but those are like so designed to be basically one piece.
the one i was speaking about is equivelant of the mod you can find online.
i read the system was in place but was just never added
Why does fire so much damn damage
I think mk7 best combo is uncanny + take a swing
Probably cause resources were diverted to other things
hence why crafting was half baked
why skill trees used to suck
etc
which one is take a swing?
that could explain it.
nice pfp btw
thats a nice sword.
haha yea we know what the priorities were now
its mainly my horde clearing weapon
mainly just use heavy attacks to do big sweeps
I did hard mode using mk6 knife and plasma. 
Chainsword + Columnus IAG here
worked out really well tbh
kinda got spooky with some crushers
but otherwise it wasnt a bad slog
Took both stamina regen delay and I just spammed push attack on knife. Xd
add the frak grenade and ur set
is this talent any good?
depends on your playstyle and talent choices i guess. but if you are weighing the choice between 10% rending or like a keystone then i would say no
its hard to not give a direct answer without full info sorry xd
Do you lack armour pen
The pain
for this specifically
uuh very nice bolter.
i was more just asking if the talent is even good or not
wtf, an okay emperor's gift????
it wasnt just for my bolter im asking if the talent is even good at all
3ish shots to a Crushers dome will kill them
hmm i see it shine best in a crusher patrol mag dump so shattering is good in my book
and render on the target means little difference when its you who dmg
compared to brittle
As I said, does your build lack armour pen? Rending will only be good if you're not already running some in your build
well or maxing pen
If there was a ogyrn modifier I could argue for a full pen build
what would yall say is better for plasma gun flak armor bonus or carapace armor bonus?
short version, because theres not a really short version: it'll increase your damage multiplier by 10, out of 100% vs armor you arent strong against. so on weapons good against armor, its not very good. on things bad vs armor, its good
oh ok thanks for info
It's going to merc both of them regardless of the damage boost
imo, carapace. you are gonna one shot most flak if you have decent damage already, but carapace enmies might survive one shot otherwise
^
Get unyielding/carapace + elite imo
carapace, or unyeilding I think? not sure about the unyeilding
If u can maintain flamer & gunner 1 tap headshots
Carapace because it applies to maulers as well
Unyielding is so niche tho
yes, but its a niche that wipes...
I'd take it for the twins, about it honestly
alls fun and games until no one has unyeilding damage for that DH or BON
Just... bring krak grenades you goon
krak grenades do go hard
Bosses are not very threatening in DT if even half the squad knows how they work.
On vet yeah, but the other classes dont have crackkrak
The real threat is the horde during bosses.
well, you see, thats the issue
Is plasma better than bolt and stub?
I see
Define "better".
depends on what you want
At killing ogryns? Debatably.
Uh.... i think its about even with them imo
Plasma is more damage in less shots, which means less wasted shots
Unless you suck at aiming
ive hit 1hko's on crushers with revolver, and i think i remember that on bolter too, but its been a HOT minute since i ran bolter
revolver is better at the stuff below ogryn, and its been to long since running bolter to give in depth suggestions
I think Bolter'll do a horde of ogryns better, but plasma is better in average situations
Bolter is alright as a weapon, it's fun to use but in times the plasma gun and revolver will be more consistent
Bolter can clutch like a MFer, but outside that clutch, the other two generally do better
Is there a good lasgun to use? Or is it just not worth investing into right now
the mk12
is decent
for what? Pretty much every weapon is good for something
All the Kantrael infantry lasguns are currently viable.
The XII has the fastest TTK if you consistently headshot.
Otherwise, the other two variants will have higher bodyshot DPS with a marginally slower TTK.
Just a good head tapper general use weapon
Avoid the Accatran Recons unless they get a rework.
I want to use a lasgun but they just are in a rough spot compared to autoguns
the Lucis varients are good, and the infantry ones are solid
I've rolled most of them, the XII just gets the most results from personal experience
The Helbores (not the mk3) do the infantry lasgun's job well and also have better options for melee against ragers with bayonets staggering them in one hit and killing in anywhere from 2 to 4 headshots.
I used the XII religiously for about 200 hours.
The mk2 Helbore is the XII but better.
the XII infantry las is just really good if you use it well
Additional flexibility due to the strong bayonet and the option to address carapace threats with the charged shot.
Hold up gimme a sec, need to reload. keep at bay the 5 crushers 3 ragers and 2 maulers for a split second. Almost done
Can reliably one tap headshot gunners without charging in exec stance with the proper build.
Shoots faster than the XII as well.
but once you reload, and start firing, they'll be dead before you need to reload again....
the problem isnt even reload, its the swap speed
So outside the helbores, XII is just better all around?
Depends on what you want.
I almost always die when i have switch to my melee weapon id wish the sawp had zero delay
I care about TTK on my infantry lasguns, so I prefer the XII.
Some people just like shooting fast and don't mind the slower TTK, so they opt for the other variants.
not to mention their strong bayonet more than makes up for the slow swap time
If you want to tap heads and want to use an infantry lasgun, then I'd recommend the 12.
Both tbh, and the initial animation not necessary
I love never swapping on my helbore and using the bayonet as primary melee.
Krieg intensifies
actually feels like i'm getting way more value from sustained than deathspitter
I pair it with BM powersword which further buffs it, and then only swap if there is too much chaff
after playing for a while, I think the reload speed is quite manageable, i think that should be the identity of the gun
That's likely placebo considering a salvo is measured by when your recoil begins to when it resets.
but the swap speed is just simply detrimental
swap speed I get that people hate it but its a fair trade-off for how reliable the weapon is
yeah. reloads can be fixed with perks, the swap cant really
A power increase is always going to give you more damage overall than your 3rd and 4th shot of base 74 damage being increased by 14 or 15.
keep in mind as helbore user you're not relying on gimmicks like deadly accurate to hit like a truck
no, you just have to actually aim
you just have high base damage to begin with
so if your aim and positioning is good, helbore is good
can I show off my baby?
that said I still didn't had the courage to bring a helbore to twins hm fight lol
i deally I would love to have flak or even elite damage over specialist
but this is solid regardless
I've tried. Sadly the helbore just doesn't cut it for a ranged damage role and the bayonet is out damaged by dedicated melee options.
I mean is better than before for sure, doesn't mean is good tho but the gripe is with the starting animation like at this point I'll just go revolver. I use bolter just because I like it not to be very efficient. And yes I get the identity of the gun and all but you know still at the very least they could've cancel the starting animation every time
I dont think any of the las weapons except laspis would fare well in the twins hm arena due to the amount of mobility and adaptability required in there
and even laspis would struggle because its all carapace
or flak ragers
Yeah the twins demand a more melee focused build for the most part on Veteran unfortunately.
Your ranged weapon is just there to break Rinda's shield.
yeah its very melee biased I noticed aswell
i thought they only had a carapace hat
Flak chestplate, unarmored underneath.
Also a carapace pauldron on one shoulder.
maulers have flak body but they also have a huge hp pool
its too time consuming to magdump them
I think they are also buffed by the gas
The twins also both take more damage from melee against their HP than ranged according to the multipliers.
the guns are good for one thing though
So unless you're a gunlugger Ogryn, your ranged damage is not going to surpass your melee against them.
bringing down shields of rinda
I used a ciag with raking+dumdum and it was fantastic for that
i like doing the funny colum iauto deadeye shooty
Yeah, my hardmode clear was with a CIAG.
oh yea I actually dropped deadshot for the fight
Really helps since a lot of players just don't have the damage to break Rinda's shield reliably.
my oggy asked for field improv
so between precision and deadshot it was deadshot to go
Yeah I was CIAG on my gun psyker raking fire and dum dum just dps blitz the bosses
They'll break Rodin's easily because you can melee him, but then they flail around at Rinda.
to break rinda's shield simply carry a devil claw and parry spam 🙂
if I'm doing that I'm not meleeing rodin though
its kinda uh...
well there are too many roles to fill
you have to multitask often
its better to kite rinda if you can I think
It helps that she just pushes you off of her sometimes
hey so thinking about it
it looks kinda mid ngl
It's easier to do that, yes.
i may just add tier 4 surgical on my bolter
i love facetanking rinda with the devil claw
she deletes herself
Another space where a quickswap to a high fire rate ranged option you can dump into her shield to break it works well.
Its just that her shields can be downed across the room with guns but rodin needs to be up close and rodin is also priority target
Yeah that's what I mean.
For the person who ends up kiting Rinda, their melee doesn't have to be the option to deal with Rinda's shield if you run a weapon like the CIAG.
which is good
It's very optimal for actually being available to then kill Rodin.
im honestly a big fan of twins pubs bcuz we wipe so fast i get my dockets v quickly. honestly more efficient than winning on lfg games
but I just didnt find the right team with the revolvo-chaxe loadout
I'm like somewhat confident
that loadout can clear it fine
been already spamming a lot of maelstorms with chaxe lately
Auric maelstrom’s AI director has been bonkers lately
it is insecure bcuz everyone is doing twins
lmao
Also if you unlock a blessings it goes to all characters right if they have the same guns?
Yeees do itt
Ok
I haven't played since the 1st year. I used to use bolt gun with volleyball fire refill and standing still you got targeted less. Is there a build similar?
I did
what can I do with this gun?
Is a very sexy skin
I'd swap the perks
nice lin icon
Thank yee
No respite to deadly accurate
and maybe carapace to unarmored to kill guners?
I think infant las is horrible at killing carapace
not having deadly accurate sucks but no respite in the right context is also pretty good I think
Its just that I dont think you can reliably stun things with infant las, Idk
One nuke, and the whole corrupted hive situation goes away
It's inconsistent
infant las rly sucks at carapace anyways so you're better pairing it with a carapace capable melee
Boltgun best blessings?
A tech priest kissing each bullet
😆
Shut the fuck up.
when the servitors fly
k
damn that's so rude lmao
They already do
When we all become battle sisters
what the hell
I know (I’m intimidating him)
Is not nice tho
sssh
i don’t mind ngl
Nobody was nice when I got in this community
Oh alright then
Nobody gets special treatment1!1!
crazy? i was crazy once
I'm always nice
they locked me in a room
a rubber room
full of nurglings
and nurglings make me crazy
They should add nurglings as a sort of treasure goblin mechanic
I really liked the nurglets in VT2 they were kinda cute
Wish we got to fight reeaally biig frogs
But frogs are cool
smoker from L4D2 sound effect .mp4
I mean that dude disintegrated smokes every millisecond to have lungs like that
Lung cancer baby
Uhhh the intro to the game mentioned something about a rogue trader?
What
the ship we're on is a rogue trader ship appropriated by an inquisitor
You mean the skins?
I see. Idk, it showed me it in those four " intro panels "
oh, the special cosmetic shop lol
Yeah man idk I glossed over it because I spammed continue because I thought it was the same shit saying " traitor's curse part 2 " again for like the 5th time
Commodore Hallowette
Ye thers new premium skins
hey buddy I think you got the wrong door, psyker chat is two blocks down
Thoughts on this vraks mk VII?
Vraks have an autogun….?
Hallowette should have a fleet bigger than the imperium by now
Battlefleet gothic armada 2 is fun when you don’t take it seriously
And use all your imperial ships as rams
Two of them. Mk III is burst fire and mk VII is semi-auto DMR
vraks3 is a 3shot burst
aint there also a vraks ix or something that sucks
so agri9 is 9 shot burst right 🤔
yeah but it shoots slowly so it's more of a semi auto 
hello veteran chat, is this salvageable?
why do lasgun vets always never know how to melee and always shoot barrels in my face 
he was shooting the poxwalker and took like 5 shots to do so
average lasgun damage

shooting poxwalkers
you could just leave it there
I mean it's clear as day in the video 
multiple shots nto the poxwalker and the thing still moving
imperial flashlight on display right there
actually might be laspistol. either way pain 
2-shot burst 💀
average vet in melee
people grabbin crates and not using as team is in red for ammo, legit
running the near-perfect mg1a hadron bricked for me last night and its honestly infuriating how good it feels even without deadly accurate
it couldve been even better than it is :(
I mean, how bad was whatever dmg vs maniacs replaced?
lol
The lighting and compression make this funny as shit, deserves some kind of caption
I am glad i am not in the stereotypical blanket of veterans who die because a melee unit coughed on them
honestly idk what's so hard about meleeing a horde (mixed horde is another story sure) but normal horde you just spam attack, dodge once in a while, hear "whoosh" then right click to block
like
it's braindead
when I first started I spam dodge like a mofo and don't die to normal horde still 
almost can taste it
True, most of the time they are unaware that block is 360⁰
Which to be fair, block being 360 is wild
i have 5 penances left
disruption, repair, investigation, purge the heretic and flawless
I am going to create a 2nd psyker to get more autogun blessings and melkbux
i can get flawless but anything but auric t5 puts me to sleep
based on this at least 35% of people have at least 25 hours in (assuming 1 hour per level)
oh did they
I can confirm, levelling my psyker to 30 after the patch took 9 years
Hey guys! first time poster long time listener. Ive got back into darktide as of this month after missing the initial hype surrounding the new Class mechanics. Very happy with how ive built both my zealot and my vet but I was wondering how to do the Vet specific volley fire challenges. I may have missed it but I can't seem to find volley fire as an option anymore? Any help would be appreciated cheers guys!
volley is the basic ability, gets replace by executioners stance, voice of command or infiltrate
and exe stance kills count towards volley penances for anyone who didnt know
thank you guys! Trying to get the leathers and I realised I didnt actually have volley fire anymore
guess its time to grind Find your Targets and Be Methodical, only penances i have left for vet
Is there some hidden reward for the bell skip
trinket for beating hard mode
and more importantly, the penance
same thing but +5
are the bells on different maps?
nah, theres a steam guide for it
this needs to be deep fried a bit more
The only one i have left myself is MeSC
trauma worth grabbing?
There's only one map where they show up, the Orthus Offensive special assignment's variant of the Torrent.
post in lfg for it, was able to do it on karnak twins if you wanna try to cheese with revolver easily
surgical too
whats the recomended blessings for a columnus IAG
Dum Dum Fire Frenzy
its not a same , hard mode one have a more gold lol
its not efficent i feel running hard more for gold
the randoms are usually too shit to carry
love the gold
more gold, more spikes
The emblem of a guy with a big pp
I still prefer the classic
simple
elegant
not even including UI portrait rendering 😎
The look of a guy drowning in spaceussy
Should I change the perk (for manic or carp) or blessing (bloodletter or headtaker)?
taking exe over voc feels like trolling...
yeah, with columnus it rips
run exe stance columnus with marksman's focus
4 Mortis operatives
it sounds like a troll but its comical
name this album
1 run, just 4x for be methodical
oh ez
yeah thats the build im using now
i think i got that one with the XII months back
just rippin through stuff, kinda nutty
currently waiting on plasteel
nice
Ooh hard to say. Slaughterer is a great baseline and thunderous is really good but I like bloodletter more…. Are you hitting the regular heavy one shot breakpoints on mutants?
I’m not a head taker fan on chaxe but I like thrust a lot
Yeah I one-shot mutant on heavy
K what about maniac rager?
i hate how i just rolled this on my Psyker. 
Yah… hard to say. Thunderous should hit max brittle on your special. Can you one special one shot crushers ?
Yah that’s what I thought. It’s hard to justify losing a t4 blessing because thunderous t4 is really good… I say change unarmored to maniac, carpace, or unyielding
I’ve found that I really like slaughterer/thrust/headtaker + thunderous/bloodletter. Preferably bloodletter because 16 stacks on a special cancel is real good
20% brittle on hit tho? That makes everyone on your team super happy
Yeah, I figure I only need to change perks. I too like to try bloodletter but I got to take the breakpoint.
I have thrust bloodletter with flak maniac but my shredder stat isn’t great…. Bloodletter fucks up monstros tho
I got Pc4 like immediately
what are the best blessings for ps6?
Cycler 4, brutal momentum or sunder
Oh yeah
I do have sunder in my blessing bag

There we go
Not sure if flak or maniac is best
Gonna try flak for now
Last thing needed is an MG1A lasgun
Flak, maniac, Headhunter and deadly accurate
What Modifiers/Perk/Blessing are the best for the 1 infantry Autogun?
1 Infantry Autogun?
Yes
Infantry lasgun?
Hold on let me Pull it up
Should specify which pattern for easy info
The Mk 1 varent
2 runs for Be Methodical, now just Vantage Point 3....
THIS THING
yeah, agri mk1
Ok How do you build It
which mark
its in the pinned comments
Is it updated?
most of it to my knowledge is still relevant, but safe bet, dumdum and deathspitter
nothing wrong with mark 7
then your choice of flak/maniac/unyielding
but for iag, always high damage and high stopping power
well, loots like we got some work to do...
Got one from melk for a 76%/71% on dmg and stopping power
what ive been rocking for about 2 weeks?
want it in agri form just for playing, its been damn good to me tho
@hazy notch also, if leveling, try to save mats. most of the guns get replaced mission to mission until 30 where you can get weapons with 80 in multiple catagories
i dont see many other vets running las these days, but i know some people love the m1a. im just trying to build a pool of options so when the next nerf/buff hits i have some back ups
Still getting blues or purple time to time
Is damnation only place to get orange?
Methinks its only during spec ops? Most are just running with plasma and bolter
not reliably, might wanna ask the guys that burn through auric damn for fun tho. ive gotten a few in damnation, but nothing to write home about. most go through the rng machine of brunt/hadron grinding
Still looking for mk1 helbore replacement stats
Oh i see currently im just grinding damn twin fight
Gives me the wrong weaps tho
right on. havent tried it on damnation yet. might give it a shot this week
I mainly use either the chainsword or the venerable shovel
i got a ps mk6, but need bm4/pc4 for ease of living
Yea didn't know i just did hard damn until i got that medal
Twins the only reason im bringing in stubbers, felt las doesn't do much on their shields
But Helbore still my go to las to melee charge
You can get purples as gifts from Damnation too.
It's just less common.
Oranges are more common but not the only reward.
Oh i see
so for mission selection, beneath the picture for each mission, is that like how active/how many fire teams are running the mission?
specifically the emblem with chevrons/skulls
i will say tho that getting a 420 orange from damnation just feels bad
That's an indicator telling you the highest level of difficulty you've cleared that specific mission on for your account.
Maybe you need to equip higher gear score to increase score drop?
That doesn't affect it.
Oh
oh dope, thanks!
The range of base ratings for weapons you can acquire whether it's from drops, Brunt, or Melk is based on your character's current level.
And rng
brunt got some loaded rolls some times
yeah, thats where the brickening starts
i do have dumdum and deathspitter r3 tho, so i might be able to salvage one
or spend the next month rerolling agri's lol
I'll just wait on Melks lineup might be a few perks and blessing worthwhile
Like 2 is ideal and you can just let Hadron change the other lesser 2
usually he sells bricks with nice blessings for me, thats about it
still waiting for a pc4 from him, keepin my hopes up
Got my current Helbore from him
Sustained and onslaught at t3
Perks were meh so swap it out
i got onslaught 3 from him today
transplanted it to this
can 3 tap brawlers, 1 tap mutants, 1 tap reapers, but with marksman full stacks and exe stance
and at full charge
Space marine 2 leak
oooooh
Cant just be tyranids spaced egyptians need to get involved
i mean chaos popped up at the end of space marine, during the ork invasion
not surprised
This is so fun
"I shall tend that relic, varlet!"
what are you running with the build?
Probably a Christopher Columbus MK V
cant wait for all the "i am alpharius" spam
worth keeping?
If you dont have anything better then yea
or i can extract deadly accurate from that lasgun and slap it on this one
what should i do
have you used the mk12 yet?
Swap elite for flak and swap between the eyes for whatever better
Opening salvo is pretty good actually
yeah thats what i was thinking
slap DA in place of between the eyes
putting deadly accurate on the 1a and replacing elites or unyielding for flak
alr bet, thank you
trust me i know the feel
wasted at least 3k plasteel on rolling MG1As last night
damn
ooooof
same here and the one you see in the screenshot is the best i could get
lool true
i mean would changing both blessings for deadly accurate headhunter be better than replacing perk and between the eyes?
eh
crit + infernus kinda nice
its nice to have a perk swap
This is my best Rashad so far. Wondering what perk I should change the 8% Melee Damage (Groaners, Poxwalkers) into.
flak
yeah Hellbrute looks scary but the Ultramarines can use use Revolver with Handcanon and do max damage to the Hellbrute anyway
me watching the psyker self destruct four times in a row (i joined near the end, cant imagine how many times he did it before i joined)
was the last player standing twice
make sure you flame him so he knows what he's doing is wrong
Spam E when picking up to teach a lesson
i was very tempted to just leave him there
What level was the Psyker
Well that's embarrassing, attempting auric histg while not mastered peril yet
Blowing up once or twice is common, more so is ridiculous
its always the dudes with four wounds
Four?? In Auric?
yes.
every time i see someone with four wounds in auric they'll constantly eat shit
besides zealots
Martyrdom zealots are a whole different breed to me hahaha
They can either be meh or the most amazing players ever
wait yeah martyrdom zealots cant even get four wounds dont they have a +3 wound talent
so min five
thus, its ALWAYS the mfs with four wounds
At least they're admitting they're bad at it.
If there was the auto heal charm like back in VT2, I'd imagine they'll use that too
the funniest part is that i wasnt even running VoC vet
i was running exe stance
still holding off crowds better
shredder frag = ultimate cheat code
Shredder frag still such a good nade
honestly i think its better than krak
You run Tinkerer?
on my dedicated grenadier build yes
I've had Kraks not kill Bulwarks for some reason
not with exe stance lasgun build
if you hit the shield and the shield blocks it
the bulwark doesnt die
you need to get it behind the shield
wdym i throw kraks into shields all the time
I think frag should be the default choice, unless neither your gun nor your melee can kill carapace for some reasons
They used to die
