doesn't really matter
Carapace is nice for crusher & mauler 2 tap but that’s abt it
Next zarona revolver you roll try for surgical handcannon though, crucian is better off on the agri (in either case deadshot helps pick up slack though)
I see
thx!
just tested it in meat grinder
1 shots a ton of the elites in damnation
Yea it rocks, def take weak spot node if you hadn't already
decent rolled lasgun have 2 refines/rebless to work with
i should rebless infernus to lvl 4 and unyielding to flak i think
just had one of my shameful moments in this game
i q'd to an auric, threw myself from stairs and ended up in the middle of a pack of crushers
i panic, got one tapped by a crusher, then instantly left the game ashamed 
no
okay that's what I figured lol
how do i kill mutants with the agri shotty
it feels good until you need to fight mutants 
i think imma swap to chainsword so I can one tap mutans
I usually just melee mutants tbh yea
And the most plasteel too, now that's a leader
The overhead attack? Yes you can, actually!
I don’t have a video on hand
But I’ve seen parry videos posted in here before
I saved a game the other day with that tech
You have to aim the parry toward like… the middle of the crusher’s body
not the tip of his hammer
But yes, you can parry every melee attack in the game apart from mutant and chaos spawn grabs
The timing is fairly tight, though
And it won’t help a whole ton vs a huge pack of ragers
But parrying and killing at least one rager in a pack of six might save your life
are crits double damage?
can you define it for me
whats a good range weapon for monstrosities?
keep the mediocre blessings get +Maniac or Rebless?
?
good base
since Pinning Fire 4 is only 5% per stack
you’re barely even at a loss
how is darktide nominated for better with friends and not soundtrack 💔
fun little build
Soundtrack is fire
fax
the soundtrack is honestly one of the best ive ever heard
actually its THE best
alright Robert Heinlein
doom 1 2 and 3 were fire
dunno who that is
go back to your free love bullshit
How the FUCK do you have the name Sgt. Klendathu
and not know who the FUCK that is
actually delete your discord profile and try again
i havent watched starship troopers since i was like
15 dog
no dont think i will
thanks for ur terrible suggestion though
actually insane that you didn't know who Heinlein was immediately with that name though
also, its a book. Not just Paul Verhoeven's fantastic movie.
ok yeah thats why i dont know him
i dont pay attention to who creates what
just how it is
if its fire? cool
next thing
starship troopers also has a few good songs
good day to die and klendathu drop 😩
why is it whenever I'm my veteran all my lower level psykers are suicidal (like warp overcharge)
any vets I play with are sweet and awesome
I just had the worst win ever
the fking ogryn
seems to stand in my line of fire on purpose
literally hold down M1 all game
and block people
holy shit how braindead does a class need to be
we won but still, what a dumbass
hi guys, any recommended autoguns for vets?
Had one who did really good in a haz 3
semi auto is really fun
Columnus Infantry, Agrip Braced, Vraks 3 and Vraks 7 Headhunter
folks is this a decent pickup
unbrickable
take it
BST is a little low but nothing too bad
I think it's a really solid gun
so with blaze away would i pair it with gets hot?
yeah
well, certainly better than my 69/69 damage/stopping power 374 plasma gun
T’augryns have that problem
What Curio perk gives damage resistence to Pox Bursters?
Would it be bombers? or Tox flamers?
it was a full gungryn
Exactly, T’augryns
Cannot melee for shit on the easiest melee class, chooses to exclusively use ranged weaponry
IIRC there is no burster damage resistance yea? It should be resist corruption damage (NOT THE GRIMOIRE VERSION)
there is
so theres 15% corruption, and then 20% corruption (grimoires)
in lev 4, so just the one without grimoires
not sure
yeah like curio perks
thought you were talking about damage to, mbmb
any changes?
Infernus to onslaught
Surgical upgrade to lv4
It’s good
yes the 15% corruption
Maniac & flak is perfect for mk1 helbore
you could leave surgical alone, in case the meta changes
Nah I doubt that
The other helbore blessings are just not that good
Besides maybe falter + no respite if you’re into bayonet
more about the perks
surgical 3 should be fine, I wouldn't touch it, but that's just me
you do you
I hate this game
true
same tbh
I think it's more of that flak/maniac is pretty good so you're free to change both blessings
between Surgical 3 (0.35) and Surgical 4 (0.3) its not that big deal of a difference
maniac is good on HB1, needed for flamer 1 tap without crit
flak is also not bad, I think u can 1 tap scab ragers in the head with them? also better dps on mauler bodyshots which is pretty useful
so yea just change blessings
It's an abusive relationship with stockholm syndrome. I love you Darktide 
I ||unironically like|| this game
It's one of my all time favs. But I still some times need a break 
Its vacation time ! I wont play much if at all till next year 
Enjoy me fren
I will chaos fren
Does upgrading the same blessing to a higher tier count for the 2 max of switching blessings?
yes
Yes.
The sole factor there is whether a slot is modified in any way.
If you change a blessing or perk, it counts as modified and uses one of your 2 available slots.
What gun is everyone using for the twins on damnation ???
Ive run it with Agrip Brauto and Columnus IAG. Plasma can also work thanks to its high cleave primary fire
Oh and Rinda takes more damage against her void shield if you use your ranged weapon at her.
It also apparently counts as Flak
their head is Carapace and torso being Flak
with some parts of their limbs being Unarmored
I like to think that I do pretty well as zealot but veteran is so much harder
huh, the heavy laspistol is.. surprisingly powerful
I have way less survivability as vet
Chainaxe with Thunderous works really well against the Twin bosses
I just rolled a chain axe yesterday forgot the blessings though
I wish there was a shared inventory
What adds spawn during the fight btw
I feel like the game would benefit a lot from that
Just elites?
I think crushers and big guys spawn in damnation hard mode
Oh yeah that too lol
My favorite is having a trapper pull you and then a pox flamer just waiting right next to them
Hard mode is activated by ringing the bells a certain way. The bosses start the fight enraged (lots more bombs from ranged twin, lots more dashing from melee twin), and much more adds in the form of specials, maulers ragers and crushers.
ah yes the 'you zigged when you should of zagged, looks like hellfire awaits'
poxwalkers, scab ragers, maulers, crushers, all specials except i think poxbursters
oh and stalker shooter squads will come in occasionally
Bruh they couldn't even add a button on the map board to activate it 💀
So now you can have pubs just activate it whenever they feel like it 
FS shining at lobby troll mechanics
Lmfao
First DHs, then the meme twin spawns, now this 
not sure if a pubbie has the aptitude to do the hard mode puzzle themselves and still lack the tact to ask if the lobby wants to try
Gotta spice things up somehow
if in doubt, whack the bells to ruin the puzzle 
You would be surprised
Had a pubbie on purpose trigger 2DHs and perma die just so we can wipe
i got taxi’d to my hard mode win so i never had to do the puzzle to unlock the shortcut
yeah that’s a proper nobhead there
In an auric maelstrom
not too fond of lights out missions because of the increased DH spawns
imagine not waking deamonhosts because you're pissed with your team
sometimes i unironically wish i could do that
You can’t hit them too many times
precisely
I mean once you hit them the correct amount it doesn’t matter if they are hit again
hrm, guess i’ll die
Does it have to be done on damnation? Or could you activate hardmode on heresy f.ex.
You can unlock hard mode on an easier difficulty yeah
But if you want the 3rd insignia you need to beat the fight on hard mode damnation
I see. This will be a struggle then 
Mostly play with some friends who could not for the sake of the emperor stay alive on normal damnation. 8 revives.
barely clutched it yesterday
Good luck, it's a tough one for sure
halp
The smite psyker pulled its weight
Flamer zealot ?
Ogryn getting top defense score cuz of 7 blocks
srsly remove scores

scores are something completely random and useless for me
idk what they're there for
They are not random. They are arbitrary and badly weighted
for shits and giggles
I mean the defense score should be much more heavily weighted towards damage taken imo
but it's not
🤔
Hard mode is a different level entirely 😂
You dont need score to evaluate raw stats
Also the team score is weird. Mine is horrible because I picked up ammo when no one else needed
#alwaysrunscavenger
For instance, i could not give less of a crap about mat pickup. If anything loot goblins lose you the game in auric
Ammo pickup being tied to score makes no sense in a game where staff psyker exists
Machinery operated 
Medipack deployed 
Grimoire carried 💀
Really, you are better off deactivating all scores
I agree somewhat. I do kind of like it not being in the base game. But I really want my friends to improve so I keep bringing up the scores whenever they do good.
and some times rant here when they do not 
sorry and thank you
CIAG mk5.
me: this guy did nothing
scoreboard: 400 plasteel
me afterwards: that guy carried the game fr
thank you plasteel gatherers
Sir
I shoot 5000 rounds a match as ogryn
I AM going to be looting and there's nothing you can do to stop me
you'll get bad scores!!!!11
maybe
but it lets me do dumb shit like this
Thinking that the plasma gun might be perfect for my mini zealot ranger with the weapon swap capstone
Plasma is good for melee build yeah
I want to shroudfield backstab a poxwalker with a thammer as many times as humanely possible in a match and see just how much overkill damage I can get
I have a 1m2 overkill damage scoreboard floating around
no kill like overkill
what's the name of this version of scoreboard again? It's actually much better than the other one
ovenproof's scoreboard
It isnt ovenproof though
technically an addon
It is base one with plugin.
several different submods
along with the base one

yeah I don't really like ovenproofs
cause I'm not super interested in DOT damage
its just not relevant
All I really care about is elites/specials killed
if I'm keeping on top of those, the team wins.
Simple as
oh and ammo picked up
I like the raw numbers breakdown, at the very least it's interesting
cause its fucking hilarious to see >5000 ammo picked up
or >13 small tins, 8 big bags, 4 ammo crates
Your dream lobby is 3 other veterans running scavenger and melee build? 
No
I literally just loot the map
When you're using an achlys, and deleting literally the whole map
everyone is pretty happy with just feeding you ammo cause they don't need to use it
My dream lobby is ppl moving forwards
Since patch 13 dropped, teamplay skyrocketed
My dream lobby is ppl just staying alive and dodging nets/dogs
not the use of coherency, granted.
But just general teamplay mechanics like sharing meds/ammo/stims
Praise be xbox players
they aren't jaded greedy douchebags like pc "elites"

SO LONG AS THEY FEED ME I AM HAPPY
I got matched up with 3 xbox players the other day, was certainly interesting
couldn't tell until the end game screen tbh
granted it was 3 zealots lol
Go play with bots
naw, even xbox players are better than bots
they may not be good at killing
but they're pretty okay about not dying
unlike bots
I might be generalizing the console players a bit. I have met several solid ones
But some of the pugs are...
1800 dmg taken
the range of how good xbox players are is very wide, yes
Ive meet fragile ppl from all classes, lvl and console
true
again, I literally outright do not care
You have to be spectacularly bad to get my attention
I havent really noticed any console players but I almost solely play on auric so they propably havent reached that level yet
because I'm too busy carrying to notice
ye I think most of them do normal + try maelstrom
"teamplay"
I have a video of me being neeted for 15s on twins, with one mates litterally walking on me
This day i was mad
post if you can find it. Sounds hilarious and gruesome all at once
The only reason i did not post it was cuz i cannot be bothered hiding names
ah
I think i deleted it by now. Cleaning house
I also like when I have bad ppl in lobby it gives fun challenge and the amazing dopamine rush when you clutch up lost games
I think i posted an extract earlier
True. Managed to revive the whole team with 2 hp, 0 toughness and 0 stamina left. Match went from being a pain to suddenly being great fun
Like I said, I straight up just do not notice teammates 99% of the time.
Scanning missions are the only time, really.
Here is the extract #veteran-class message
Hab Dreyko, Trainstation Assassination
anything that makes players interact with anything not combat
omfg 
I just go refill my coffee or a bathroom break in the meantime
I was mortified
I've been screaming at some of my buds to just free netted ppl as quick as you can. But seems like a lot of players think it's better to clear everything else first
Which is not the case!
👆
I typed ... 3 times without posting it
hahaha
Had a person type "yeah yeah yeah" after popping like 3 bursters as I was pushing. Needless to say I just let them do end event themselves
Another sad case of not knowing freeing from a net is extremely fast. Many such cases.
I mean you can literally do it as you are standing next to the netter
One ppl went "thanks" emote 5 times on me on killing buster. I wrote "get the fuck away from buster when they are down"
and then kill him after
Yes, but they don't know it's fast is my point.
Aye
They probably think it takes the same amount of time as reviving someone would.
And of course, don't pay attention to the actual speed when they free someone from a net.
Or maybe don't notice the difference
So it doesn't get processed.
wHy nOt bLoW uP?
I swear im gambling to get a better roll on blessings but an extra .5% isnt that much right?
watching a hammer zealot run up to a knocked down burster and whack it like a piñata
People who shoot a burster while you're in kissing range trying to push it
I want team damage enabled just for that
If it's any consolation, the CIAG doesn't need the blessings as much as other weapons.
You can do just fine without tier 4 since its base characteristics are strong.
i have learned this but something in me needs to see the exact roll i want sometimes
my default response to poxbursters in pubs is tactically maneuvering behind my team so they can deal with it however they want
but i cant, not while fatshark makes plasteel so scarce
This 👆 

Yep that's good
thank you vint
Infested to unyielding, carapace, flak
Anything pretty much works on plasma
And swap volatile to gets hot
Probably
charge speed is important usualy ammo or thermal resist tanks the hit on high tier plasmagun as you can work with 60% ammo or thermal resistance but the slower hipfire hurts alot when dealing with big packs of elites
The difference between 3 and 4 for most perks is very minimal
They all shoot for sure
Ik Lawbringer is the single shot sniper
lawbringer is a duckbill iirc
Agrio mk VII is the sniper
kantarel IX is the fire shotgun
It says precise
would you buy those power swords from melk and which blessing would you extract (I rarely play veteran, only for the weekly mission but I like the power sword)
Mk VI Brutal momentum and power cycler
I would buy neither, or buy the right one and extract Power Cycler 3, if I desperately wanted to have any Power Cycler
Neither of these is particularly good
General rule is you want to dumb mobility and get all other modifiers up
I'm more concerned about the blessings
Left one you could extract Supercharged 4 from, but it’s not a good blessing all in all.
and you want power cycler IV for 2 extra blessings
I wouldn't use those weapons either way
oh I thought it was decent
Power Cycler is the most important.
Well, do you know how it works?
I know it gives brittleness stacks on hit according to the description, that's all I know
aight I'll look for that then ty
And brittleness applies a stacking debuff to its target that increases the damage they take/reduces the effectiveness of their armour type against particular attacks
This could be good, and is for some weapons
But PS has incredibly good damage values when powered already, against most armour types
So it does fuck all on the PS
did I just get lucky? 👀
noice
oh... then why is it available at all then ? Also wouldn't a debuff work for other team members ?
Ye, that’s a good base
time for hardron to ruin it 
- to clog the roll tables for blessings
- yes, if your teammates are attacking with weapons less than 100% effective
hmmmmmmmmm
IDK, you’d have to ask Fatshark designers 
The second sentence is true, you can debuff a tanky target with it, say a monster, but the payoff is very minuscule + you’d be better off just with a different blessing. Brutal Momentum is a good one on the PS, and so is Power Cycler
Most weapons don’t have malus on damage dealt against monstrosities, I.e., unyielding armour type, so debuffing it achieves relatively little
And you never know. Maybe in the future they buff that particular blessing and suddenly it gets good
So no, Supercharged is not very hot. There are better blessings for the PS
that’s a double perk change to me, the blessings are workable but good perks is paramount
Yes, but it’s not the reality we currently are in. I’m trying to remain objective in regards to advice I give, with reference to how the game fares for now
yep.. not sure what perks to go for. given the nature of the gun I'd say carapace/unyielding, but #VideogameLogic might disagree
Truth. But personally I like that there are lots of different blessings that are good and bad depending on patches. Makes it more interesting to keep playing the game
ok, thanks for the advices guys i'll keep my melbuks 👍
that’s always a safe pick. I find that plasma perks are just preference from Flak/Unarmored/Maniac/Carapace/Unyielding
all depends on who you wanna 1-shot or reduce hits to kill on
though I would probably recommend Maniac
yeah that's what the Meatgrinder is for 😉
Noob veteran question, what is best way for veteran to kill hordes? Not like ogryn that has grenade launcher or psyker with AOE staff
power sword is the typical choice
the catachan swords and shovels also do good work
Melee
you got shredder frags too, though you need demo stockpile and / or demo team to use them a lot (both for spam)
Full grenade build with shredders is actually pretty good on high intensity
Thank you very much
Nah, just keep hit and run and change speedload to dumdun
groaners to flak or maniacs
I tried Agrip. Shotgun recently but how is the Kanterel Shotgun? The Graia braced is another weapon that interests me
Is there a Graia build you guys could recommend?
Alright
Im gonna give that a shot
Cadian cosmetics when?
K shotty fucks
Full bore / no respite
Flak/ maniac
Is what I recc for it
FF or death spitter work in place of full bore but full bore will have more general Utility and uptime.
^ see above
graia braced auto is kind of a meme
If it had longer crit strings it'd be pretty good on vet
but as it stands, its just kinda meh. Funny brrrrrrrrrrrrrt machine, but meh.
I dont have a good rolled plasma thats why i tried the agrip. Shotty but i might need optimise the build more
Join damnation 2 psykers with purgatus
and 1 zealot with flamer

Psykers couldnt save themselves for the life of them from the poxxies

seeing people in damnation not know how to push away poxbursters is always such a confusing moment
Worse a bot spawns and melee it
But sometimes Poxbursters don’t want to and can’t be pushed for some reason 
It’s been a common occurrence for me lately
yeah but enough about knife zealots what about when someone dc's and a bot comes in
Must be ghost hits
ghost pushes
Sucks when you join in and the first person you see is a zealot deep in enemy grounds downed
Then they say something salty

tbh dunno what the guy said bc I saw only boxes
'omg shit team' my brother in the emperor you are 120m away somehow, how did you even pull that off
what is it with zealots and the knife that makes them suddenly suicidal beyond belief
feels like the average vet player in my pug games
honestly it can be any player, its just 95% of the time its always a knife zealot running loner
once i tried to sprint and help them and they had like
5 crushers
12 maulers
5 ragers
and 1 falmer on them downed
ive had the super rare 'loner zealot with knife that actually has 2 brain cells to rub together and sticks with the group'
i was gonna say burster blew em off the ledge but thats even funnier
been running smokes recently half as a meme, and im shocked how often theyve helped against an incoming bunch of gunners/reapers
just sad i gotta run with the speed aura because point allocation is tight
ive just started leveling my veteran, all the other classes at 30 now
its my fave class. its the whole 'being a random soldier with nothign but training, a knife and a slug shotgun vs the horde' vibe
so far im not entierly impressed
give it time. what level is it atm
lmao yeah by then you got fuck all.
I just slap damnation at level 15 
Shit is too easy but if you are new just go up gradually
When that happens to me, it's either because of a brain fart or I was out of Stamina at the time 
oh god yeah thats a mood
ive done that a few times, run a head, forget ive lost stamina, wonder why it does nothing, eat shit
see you should do what i do instead
have your brain malfunction and gun the poxburster down in melee range
yeah done that too

ive pushed a few away with shout
I finaly try New vet tree i Cant stop using Columbus autogun or aggripina braced instead of lasgun
lmao thats good. lasguns are weak atm
once i panicked and shot a burster near my friend so he was sent over the edge and died

Just press the trigger and do a half mag Crit is so good
Literally me:
It do be like that sometimes. I just learned to roll with it. Just like when Pubs shoot a Poxburster I was about to shove. 

So true
I've yet to try deliberately popping a Burster so I can use the blast like a rocket jump tho. I do that with barrels sometimes.
The thing i love is someone dead watching me one-shot 5 rager with the devil claw.
Parry god
Whats better for hardmode twins support veteran
Powersword and plasma or pioneer shovel and slug shotgun?
how the fuck is this supposed to be fun and engaging game design
ah yes, instantly gangbanged by 8 ragers
with literally no way to get out of it
really fucking fun
Always a pox flamer to get you when you’re down lol
sorry, 9 ragers
literally a clown closet of ragers
holy fuck I hate everything about them as an enemy
throw frags at feet and start prayin for salvation
or bombers
or normal flamers.. or a mix of all 3 !
Lmfao
Trapper to rager+mauler+flamer combo makes me want to shut the game off forever
Lol
4 bombers at the same time
tried that ?

heck
Last man standing and hound licks you to death while crushers sit down and look at you struggling

true however i got 8 ragers barging towards me with my bolter.. that i just spent all ammo on

well the 4 crushers before the ragers were the problem in this case
Or just shoot them
Utilize the veteran neutral special: A Gun
how would a optimised skilltree for shotguns look like ?
Or you can be a bitch and run VoC and fart in their general direction
I am a shotgun hater cause I dislike the load slug reload load slug reload 
Just let me do a full reload and use slugs and when I want to use buckshot let me do a full reload and use buckshot
i love my bolter
someone at fatshark is a fan of trapdoor rifles
is the graia braced really that much of a meme?
By itself? Nah.
Compared to the other two? Yeah.
my aim questionable so i tend to use weapons that dont relie too much on it
It's got the same problems as Kan12 in that its other variants are just... better
i know playing vet with bad aim is herectical
Eh, I used to be that way
Then I split the difference and picked up a MkIV infantry las lol
Can't miss if it's just a hail of lasers and you let the recoil drift your aim from chest level to headshots
Thats my tree for shotgun. Could i further optimise it ? And what would a good tree for the Graia braced?
Still waiting for them to not be cowards and let me put run n gun on something other than 2 oggy weps and the staves
Literally just happened to me lol
That's pretty good, if you insist on graia braced I'd take the suppression increase in bottom middle tree
Yeah i asked them to join your game
Share the pain share the fun y'know ?
Thanks doc
I'm personally not a big fan of survivalist but that's just me
Braced autos still need it if you don't take the suppression increase
Is graia the best as far as Braced goes'
Nnnno it's the worst of the three right now
Which Braced could you recommend then?
Columnus has a higher overall firerate and doesn't get a firerate bonus when bracing, but it's very brrt brrt, I use it for shooter suppression so my team can just ignore ranged enemies
This is gonna sound stupid but why is the plasteel reward so low
The Agrippina(?) Is the heavier model, more suited for actual killings
I’ve never focused on it because I didn’t know how the crafting system worked
One Damnation mission can have up to about 805(?) plasteel, which in most cases can get a weapon to purple rarity if not orange
Is this one usuable?
But to answer your question:
To keep you playing
it isn't. but maybe that team just tried punching above its weight.
Take it to blue and see what blessing you get?
Cause yeah, that's almost perfect apart from the carapace buff
That’s cool but every mission is like 20-30 mins
Kinda nuts
Oh yeah, they were all freshies.
Way in above their heads
Yep, that's how they've built this, sadly
Not at all prepared for Auric. I can't even fault them. I'm mostly frustrated with Fatshark for not gatekeeping the difficulty more effectively.
TRS-150 Relay Station Low Intensity Damnation
fastest run in the game
level 15? have at damnation in pubs champ
auric is for lvl30 only btw
Unless you're brought in by a friend
Auric could be gatekept by requiring at least two classes at level 30
at the very least
I'd say 4
but uh
that'd kill the whole auric community 
but auric damnation is overrated anyway. it's a pure unadulterated shitshow for literally no benefit other than being a glutton for punishment
eh
sorta but not really
Its just Auric Hi-STG that's a shitshow
the rest of the time its just damnation
with literally no other changes
I'd still play normal damnation over auric damnation. chance of successfully finishing a mission is much higher, you get the same mats, just coins are lower, but since you finish more missions faster, ... 🤷
thats mean
i have like 900 hours with vet only
i want permission to play auric too

i suppose i could delete one of my vets, level psyker to 30, then delete them and make a new vet
it takes a day to level up a new class
Auric dam qps are the only difficulty that provides the possibility of failure without being actual work like auric maels tend to be, which is why I like them
yeah but having 5 lvl 30 vets still makes you an alright player
depending on your talent
FYI I'd take that to blue and see if you get dumdum, reroll the blessing into a tier 4 blessing you already have or a lower tier blessing that's not so good on a columnus (think speedloader or whatever) so you have a better chance for a tier 4 blessing you DO want when you bring it to orange
For perks your priority is +maniacs and +flak, followed by anything else
Columnus really only needs one blessing to be good: Dumdum
I can bring any stupid build to auric dam
Oh yeah, this was the result of that match.
I tried my best.
The ragers got me and my team immediately folded
that was with a gray MGIV on counterfire vet btw 
Me. By 9 ragers.
I mean I died twice and went down three times 
So I wasn't a perfect angel.
But that's just the counterfire vet life.
Either you treat the game disgustingly passively or run up against the shit wall that fatshark created with vet's tree.
Where the fuck is my defensive utility
It's in smokes, which they can't make too strong or psykers will have nothing
you can't dodge ragers
I would uh
argue that psyker is the best or second best class right now.
If you're willing to break the mould and go gunker
Defensively, and yeah, I gunker main
kickback ogryn is the best class
Laspistol go pewpew
Its kinda sad that ogryn and psyker gun better than veteran
even if you commit full left side on vet
Fatshark really obliterated this poor man because of one talent
Fuck you Unwavering Focus, and it wasn't even the players' fault
Fatshark wildly overcorrected from their own design decisions. Granted, that's really all they do. Just look at the new balance patch for VT2
They really kinda did just kick vets to the curb and hum and haw about making them somewhat usable comparatively
I had a kid who said I suck after I killed 6 crushers but the 7th got me
that shit has been cooking for years and its insane how broken OE is now.
Nah, I try my best not to take it out on teammates. These guys were clearly just not ready for Auric.
So we CAN have a dedicated ranged class
Everyone has tof fail every now and again.
I don’t agree with this sentiment, but I somewhat agree that it has merit, just not in all the possible situations
I mean he was asking for it
Ogryn with a kickback literally invalidates all three of veteran's builds.
A talentless ogryn
with a kickback
completely invalidates everything about veteran

Pain
the guard will never surrender no matter how wavering our focus is
sniper at long range
Yeah but kickback is 40(?) Pellets of unadulterated buckshot
and its dead
3
Maybe in a vacuum, but Kickback doesn’t do a lot of things that say, Plasma or Bolter do
the kickback is fucking nuts
Or one lasgun shot
One with surgical
It dishes out damage, but that’s a fall out from its obscene minimal pellet count and obliterating of horde enemies
I do agree that KB is overtuned, but comparing it to Vet options is just inadequate
And how pellet armor calcs work, don't forget that
Everything about the kickback is just incredibly overtuned right now.
Cleave, Damage, Minimum Pellet Count, Stagger, Ammunition Pool.
While kickback is good nothing will beat Rumblers thump boom.
It's too satisfying
A kickback is no where near a replacement for a competent veteran with a lasgun or plasmagun
Its good to handle ogryns long range weakness
Veteran will still outperform it in gunfights
Yes
Do not get hit with any melee
It can deal zero damage
Still counts
time to go spam spacebar on malice ig
No the cheese still works with it
what cheese?
Jump off the map, dont get revived until the very end
LMAO
If I'm building the Bolter as a sniper weapon, which blessings should I use?
Granted, that was like a year ago now
Uhh, you can get the on overwatch penance as long as your hp doesn't take a hit
But, if it hasn't been explicitly patched, only HP damage counts
I got it a month ago
this just isn't true
Take out 12 gunner fast
and frankly feels like it comes from someone with zero personal experience in the matter.
A kickback completely invalidates every single one of vet's roles
I get Surgical is a viable option, but what else?
For?
^
Yeah
Every time you stagger an enemy, you get one stack of power.
Faster at range, maybe?
But kickback literally says "fuck you, sit down" and you can just have your entire team go and bully them to death
4.25-5% depending on tier 1 through 4 of the blessing
Do you have to stagger multiple enemies to get the effect, or just stagger?
Ah.
While you were reloading I killed 3 more gunners with my lasgun
I was mostly wondering since the wording seems off.
And the sniper that wasnt noticed
Which Perks for Bolter?
I mean, yeah. My lasgun does that too, kickback still suppressed all twelve of them for the next effectively 10 seconds
Maniac and unyielding
Elites and Carapace
You shoudn't need maniac
not with vet's ranged buffs
you'll get the natural one-shots without maniac
Destroying mutants is really funny
So I'd go +Elites and +Carapace
Supression is bad, why send them to cover when you can just kill them?
Extends fights
Death is not CC
Inb4 the ogryn you're playing with does 1.7 million damage
and you've done 500k only hunting elites and specials

Its literally impossible to state how overwhelmingly broken the kickback is right now.
You can only understand it when you go play it yourself.
And you clearly haven't.
I literally only play my Ogryn when I want to win
All of ogryn is a veteran replacement
Exhibit A
and this isn't even with a kickback
Looks like the veteran killed all the trappers, snipers, and bombers
He did his job well
I will give way that vet can have a variety of roles, and a good special removing vet is a beauty
But if you have a kickback ogryn anywhere on your team, none of those save the sniper in the very nichest of situations was ever really a threat if they were doing their job
Should I get Deadshot with the sniper Boltgun?
im so happy i got make every shot count
when i don't want to do the penace
i end up doing it
I say this as both a kickback ogryn and as a vet that works with a kickback ogryn: anything he doesn't mulch, I'll finish off while I watch his back
It'll be the easiest plasteel I've gotten in a week
ye
Vet imo is can fit best as anti shooter or big game hunter
Should I also get 20+ Rending (by combining with Rending Strikes with the Marksman Rending)?
Gun them down, every last one of em

Personally the Marksman stacks giving 10% rending is kinda meh imo
True, but I'm asking if I should add another 10% more.
I haven't found a good use for the rending perk
Problem is if they buff it there's a very slim line between dead talent and brokenly OP
Maybe if it scaled per stack instead of capping out the stacks to gain benefit would be nice
1.5% per stack?
I mean, it's just such a low benefit anyways when you're THAT far down a tree IMO
There's so many options for a different way to spend that talent, even earlier in the same tree
Ive found its best with automatic weapins
Ironic.
Autoguns do have pretty insane finesse modifier
And a Infantry las MkIV
Lets you stay mobile while keeping benefits
Exactly
“Its the marksman perk”
works best with automatic spam fire guns

It would be so much better if walking didnt get rid of stacks
You CAN put it on the Ia but the firerate increase from weapon specialist (as far as keystones go) is better for it
Or if there was a keystone upgrade that got rid of the stack drain while walking
There is! Get headshots.
^
Ngl Exhil is a fun perk to pair with Confirm kill
Makes me remember the good ol days of old Confirm kill

Marksmans Focus is balanced out by the fact you need to actually shoot heads to keep it up. If it didn't lose stacks often it would be the most broken keystone
Fatshark design team be like
That's why camo is a cracked talent
💀
🦀
does anyone actually crab walk to build stacks
Sometimes
I have not seen it outside of memeing, but who knows
I usually frontline with my MkIV lasrifle so clearing lines of fire for the rest of my team has become second nature
Too many times unloading a clip into the back of someone's head
Waiting for the day FS re-add friendly fire
use a lasgun with high damage and critical
shit is insane
i got 100% chance critical
blessing
I like it with my helbore mk1
It's fun when the rager pack comes and with a few stacks they all start getting 1 tapped in head and body
Ooo yeah that'd put it somewhere under the MkIII but with a higher firerate, right?
People keep talking about moving making you lose stacks but 3 headshot kills on chaff gets you to 9, you get to move off the headshots, and you only lose the stacks 1 at a time while you move. I just wish it gave something else over 1% reload speed per stack and that 10% rending on 10+ stacks is ass when you can go to the middle tree and get rending at all times
you could effectively 2 tap crushers and even push it to 1 tap crit
better yet you could just deal more damage and refund stamina & toughness on marking an elite

1 tapping on my own makes me feel good
Weapon customization mod
oh god not that abomination of a mod
im afraid of becoming a monster and turning my laspistol into a sniper rifle
It's the only way, sadly
Well that's what you have and you can make it as curse as you want
I personally like a laspistol shooting bolter rounds
fuck it, i think its for the best if i just git gud
Plasma barrel with lasgun mag
Bolt pistol when :c
We are shooting the bolt pistol. It’s just spacemarine size.
It's a bolt pistol, but sized up to look like a bolter for us to make us feel better
Oh no don't give the ogryn any ideas
Last time someone said that the Commisaar's ogryn ripped off a heavy Boltor Mount and went heads first into the ork swarm
We're actually using police Bolters.
the arbites issue boltgun?
well, considering that the plasma guy from the twins wield that shit like its just a pistol....
Yes
Ogryn only held back by what you don't give him
Well, the Locke pattern is kind of an old Arbites pattern.
It's popular in the Koronus Sector.
ok now i understand why i hate vraks so much
ads from this thing is just 1000x zoom
Seeing as scion cosmetics got data mined. Can we hope for a hotshot lasgun for veterans?
no wonder why i always felt so lost and unprotected while aiming with this thing
Theres definitely other plasma gun variants in the works
PGR posted. 
The commissary weapon appearances prove this
FS is planning some Double barrel shotty meme power
wait what
The commissisary plasma gun skins extend the barrel

And the same happens with the chainswords
where can i see this
Hoo boi, last time the inquisition gave a sanctioned psyker a boltgun he executed one of the Operatives and had to be terminated

So yeah
But really.
They took away our shotguns from the beta. Bullshit
Commisarry gives previews of what varients are to come
Imagine if we get the Solo Boltgun.
So one more cadia chainsword and plasma guns
Which is basically the discount Stalker Bolter.
The bolgun skin changes the magazine from a curved to a stick mag
And changes up the barrel a little bit
Very useable
i'd buy it and swap next blessing and infested if the next blessing is trash
Unyielding is good to have
i was thinking of getting it since supposely this autogun is good
otherwise, if its good blessing, just swap both perks to flakiac
Kills bulwarks and reapers fast
but also seems fun to use
If you get a good blessing like dumdum youre gold
so out of all these blessings what would be the two best ones?
Dum dum ranking is my favorite
Raking fire is an entire 180 degree angle behind your target
It's very good with an infiltrate vet
braced autogun is unironically the best ranged weapon ever to farm malice
Thats good
That's pretty
you just kill everything, never run out of ammo and suppress anything too far away to aim at
Perk changes
I mean enemy HP in Malice is kinda low ye?
tho is deathspitter good tho? since it requires close range kill and its only 6%?
or does it stack?
but its by far the most "clearing" gun in malice imo
close range is 8m range
A kill is a kill
and deathspitter stacks 5 times
maybe regular autogun might outdo it actually
wait it does?
ye
Oof it doesnt even say it does
Ismt it still bugged?
nah
that sounds breaking
It was bugged that way for a bit
Dum dum stacks up at any range but power bonus is not applied beyond close range
Not sure if it was patched
Oof bruh i had taken off deathspitter a few times on my heavy stubber
Probably fixed now
