Its really good
The whole "bUt yOu nEeD tO mOvE" thing is overrated
"stand still and never move build" "tagging a single enemy once every 30 seconds build" yeah bro ill pass lmao
Focus is fine
Krak grenades too useful, I always dump my extra points into nade improvements
Because!
I'd rather have krak nades than either keystone myself
They are all good in the right circumstances but yeah, quite underwhelming compared to other class keystones which fundamentally change the way you'll play the build
You shouldn't want to stand still like a turret anyways
Marksman Focus stacks build and stay up fast
The whole "don't move" thing is ridiculous and overplayed
Easy fix, swap all talent nodes to things that alter/empower the kraks 
I think marksmens focus is harder to pull off because you feel obligated to get the 10 stacks but play like you normally play exec stance
what are our best guns rn?
Yes please
And you'll make value
You get 10 stacks so so so fast without even trying
Give me a pure krak build and I will crack out on krak
Every single engagement
Don't over think marksmens focus
Literally don't think about move/don't move
Just move as you would
You get and keep stacks
Kraks save runs for me, more important than stacks impo
Focus will alas never compare to being able to reactively kill an entire wave of flak and ogryn
Krak is king
You got big pew pews for hordes, strong pew pew for elites/specialists and a lil mix of both on infantry autoguns
Yeah I agree jarude, the focus on movement as a play style is wrong. Just ignore it and shoot heads, the mechanic will play out as it wants to but it's very easy to keep a full stack while running around like a madman
Like... a single group of specialists means max stacks in one second
Anyone got a good lasgun build? I've been using plasma a lot and it seems my lasguns aren't doing enough dmg to keep up
Some lasguns do, Helbore is good
Use the bayonet on it though
Otherwise you will spend so much time swapping weapons that running the thing becomes pointless
I find literally all the lasguns unplayable in this game iteration but I'm in the minority. Most people hate recons but love the others
Recons kinda bad imo
Bad ttk
Just needs a damage buff really
Everything else on the gun is fine
They had one moment then got nerfed hard
Yeah, marksman focus is very strong, people just lose their minds when they read you lose stacks and write it off
Yes
It's a very strong keystone
I may try focus with like, columnus or something someday
Funnily enough my recent lasgun build was recon and it was decent enough but I wanted to see what was the refined build in this meta
My current weapons I dont see the value though, versus getting all my krak grenade bonuses
krak saves lives
Shhhhhhhhhhh hardly anyone plays it RN anyway, no need to suggest nerfs shhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Kantrael la as far as I've been playing performs decent
Recon is poopy
Won't stop anyone from playing recon but recon bad
I highly recommend helbore lasguns
The las pistols are real strong as well
Recons have the worst damage output of any vet weapon. All the infantry lasguns are good, with 1a being best and 12 being least good. Helbores are good with people generally favoring the 3 but all are good. That said I hate all of them
Idk who’s favouring the mk3 helbore, most people I see prefer mk1 and mk2
Forget which it is, I like the higher damage one with the big bayonet
God its hard to get out of the habit of switching to melee though
Mk3 has the worst bayonet moveset
That's just according to what I read on here 🤷♂️
Mk1 and mk2 are literally “gun on a spear”
for the "hit 5 enemies with frag without it bouncing", does it need to be the unupgraded one?
It just needs to be frag grenade, shredder frag works
1 does a little more damage but it only matters in a couple breakpoints
is it just 5 total enemies or does one grenade have to pinball off of 5 dudes in a hoarde?
Just 5 total enemies
Blast hit 5 enemies
Throw it at long range
Is the mk7 shovel any good?
It's good
is the mk3 shovel any good
Better horde on its heavies
Throw it from long enough away that it explodes mid air
Hitting the head is a bit more difficult on its alt attack
But you'll get used to it
Might as well give it a go then. Was a decent shovel in the shops.
oh shit, didnt realize the explosion was nececary
Mk1 can one headshot both flamers without crits at 13m+, and could one tap scab ragers in the head
Mk2 has faster reload, lower ammo consumption, better kill time against mauler & crusher, the same one headshot kill power vs both gunners & shotgunners, and shoots faster
can one cook the grenade? im new to vet
Mk2 can still 1 tap both flamers in the head but needs surgical to build crit chance, or you can bayonet them in the head for guaranteed 1 hit kill
No, they have a set timer
cool thanks for the tips yall
There's a bunch of places on various maps with big distances, you just gotta throw it far enough that it explodes in mid air. A specific example would be the huge room before the ascender on the prison mission, or at the boss room of the same mission (hit the catwalk)
Just throw it high above a distant horde and let it explode over their heads, done ez
Honestly this probably it 
Its the issue that alot of balance discussion is based around... the strongest weapons
Infantry Las guns are perfectly acceptable

The mission with the train is also a good place
Cause when you reach extraction
Throw grenades onto hordes on the platform
But you gotta look up
i literally just loaded into a t2 dificulty, got one off of beast of nurgle, and apparently it was the last one i needed. now im done lol
also... why did a beast of nurgle spawn 5 seconds in on a t2? the director must take player level into account
What mission was it?
Sometimes it just be that way
hab dreyko
This was higher difficulty but one time I had 6 daemonhost spawns. Director really wanted us dead
kill things get home early what's to complain 
I think lights out spawn more DHs as well
what is a perfectly balanced weapon?
is there anything in game that is not too strong, not too weak?
probably the Kantrael infrantry las series?
unassuming, does its job
if i wanted to run a boltgun what blessings would i aim for?
surgical pinning fire?
do you like ADSing or hipfire more?
ads
Well yeah something that is in line with similar weapons imo
of course lol

The exceptions we see
Columnus
Revolver
Pgun
yeah
nerf them
i honestly think Columnus is okay
because it lacks the pinpoint accuracy
Give the revolver a 1 bullet capacity
just nerf it to 2 cleave and slightly reduce ammo reserve
and buff back hand canon
I'm... not convinced, yeah it won't be instant pinpoint but, crouch and tap fire a sniper and it'll die
plasma balance can be balnced by significantly increase the rate at which heat accumulates
so you need to vent a lot more
as long as damage isn't touched, most people wouldn't care
utility nerfs are elusive and effective
revolver isn't vet exclusive but okay
plasma is overtuned
whether you want to admit it or not
it's in 80+ of my games
I mean
I think the strongest weapons from Vets arsenal need to be nerfed so other things can shine
Vet is pretttyyy gooood rn
and im not even asking for damage nerfs
damage should def be the same, they feel good
as they should
but they should take a little more efforts in playing
that's all
It's The anti-special anti-armor weapon
I feel like they'll end up nerfing plasma with more ammo used per shot or reduced uncharged shot damage
There's a reason it's there
Well its anti everything
it overshadows many other anti-elite/specialist weapons out there
(that being said I agree with the guy who said the thing could be balanced better by making the overheat mechanic more obvious)
also t. Agripinaa MkIX enjoyer
Even if plasma could oneshot both twins I just can’t bring myself to use it, personally feels awful to use. I need big blasty shooty noises 
Plasma should have worse uncharge and better charge
I mean uping the heat per shot isn't exactly that bad of a nerf, it's just a reminder that hey slow down, this is a plasma gun
plasma mag is literally half the reserve, you don't need to reload with it, let the venting mechanic be the "reload"
you can't blow up left clicking anyway
Also the absolute psychosis I feel while constantly redlining the plasma gun while blasting Heaven Pierce Her is sublime
yeah plasma increased cleave feels great
helbore (currently), imo
probably one of the better balancing thing they have done
the 3 shotguns
I am tempted to say this but I think they should be buff ever so slightly
they are at like A- for me
that's fair, I think they rly come off strongly based on personal experiences
Give bonus rending to exec stance and make it improve thoughness regen. Should help lot of "subpar" weapon
between the 3, which one kills carapace the best?
agri?
shotguns? I don't even use them to shoot at carapace
you can 4 shot crushers I think, but all special slug so ttk is atrocious, but at least you can
I mean I think it's easier to bleed out crushers than wasting ammo on them
If I'm using shotgun I'm using it as a way to compliment knife or chainaxe
But then I'm an idiot
is this good?
how about which one take care of gunners the fastest?
carapace takes very little dmg from bleed without rending/brittleness
Low shredder is kinda meh, the rest of the stats are alright, it'll get you through bub 🙂
chainsword not bad for a vet right
if they're all lined up, kantrael with fire shots, scattershot + flechette
least amount of shots needed to kill all
lawbringer is good too
agripinaa is better single target one after another
Okay to be fair
good perks, good blessings (after swapping out 8%melee and bloodthirsty), not ideal stats.
my verdict is usable as stop gap, but keeping looking
and yeah CSwod is good on vet 
People perma in malice
Aren't building efficiently
Let's be reeeaal
Many nerfs to the top performing weapons will hit us
the avg malice zealot doesn't even know hand cannon exists on revolver
Because we build to meet specific break points or have specific blessing combinations which put the weapon above and beyond sometimds
Malice players are in the >struggling to play the game
Balance struggle
im a bit ignorant on the shotties, how bad is the spread when ADSing? can you one tap dreg gunners at 15m out ADSing with the law/kant?
Trickle down balance is imo the best thing to go with, tuning to the top % of players means ultimately things will shake out, imo
The balance that affects us will rarely affect them
I know agri can do that comfortably
Imagine balancing locks
Its... tough to be fair
I Mean we aren't balancing like mmo's
without exe stance, very difficult
But the game is more easily balanced because you can just balance enemy health based on difficulty level
Lawbringer can 1 tap gunners up to like 8m
ig ill stick with agri then 
And enemy damage
Atta boy, Slug King
dang, the agri doesn't fall off until 20m
Ultimately all weapon balance change feels bad cuz it is forced interaction with the crafting system
agripinaa is a weird one for vet I feel
the other two are much more geared towards horde clear imo
it feels like a bolter with worse carapace killing and better handling/swap speed
Personally with the shotties I think lawbringer and kantrael fit better on the Zealot, and the agri was made for Veteran
to compliment a bad-clear melee
You can reliably one shot most light enemies / gunners with one shot out to a goodly distance with the agri and with .exe stance it really does shine even without factoring in the slug
also yesterday I ran 2x3stamina curios deadshot agri
it's actually kinda fun 
not sure if optimal
but fun
the range aspect is def better
but kantrael with flechette is a different breed in horde clear
That's how I feel about it. Very fun, but revolver...
yeah 😔 you aren't wrong there
I normally leave the horde clear to my sword or my frags honestly
consignment yard first holdout section u can just perch on 2nd floor and snipe everything with fire shots
I just dislike the revolver and to a certain extent, I dislike the plasma because of how popular it is
Agri is better suited for gunner control than revolver, but that's all I can think of
i used to run plasma a decent amount when it wasn't buffed
I don't see much point in running revolver on vet unless you're doing the same gimmick Sprint-Crucian Roulette that I use on my Zealot?
Maybe I'm not thinking outside the box
it's used for the swap talent with hand canon
so you don't have to reload
Meh
and the instant swap speed means you can make use of a lot of buffs
Idk I still like running revolver with middle and left tree too
I can see it on the melee tree but for melee vet I'd much rather bring either a Columnus V or a laspistol MkII
yeah that's cool, too
revolver itself is jsut simply strong
the same way people keep saying to do whatever you want with the plasma
(because infernus IV is nasty)
do you know what they should do
they should buff the sound of the shotgun
right now it's a little muffled
and a little "plastic"
or is it just me?
Oh yeah
In case fat shark is looking at my bad opinions
PUT RUN AND GUN ON THE COLUMNUS V YOU COWARDS
LET ME RUN MY 6" BARREL DOORKICKER CARBINE WITH MY sword
can someone help me with a revolver build please?
lol
What’s the difference between the chain axes?
One is the new one that does strikedown, the old one does vanguard
Other than that same shredder function
Damn, alright. Thought they had different stats
Not really
eh?
best weapon to pair with revolver?
Workable
spade maybe?
What about club, maybe heart?
Anything with decent waveclear would do

Anything works with volver
powersword then?
Psword is fine 👍
or Chainsword?
Anysword will do
Rashad Caxe is also a very good choice
are weapons not shared between classes? can you get a wep that multiple classes can use and use it on different characters?
Some weapons are operator locked
I.e u can’t get plasma shooters on anything except vet cuz it’s a vet only gun
riight but if you get a chainsword on your psyker can your vet use it
its the same account
Different operators
just a different character
If the weapon ain’t operator locked u can make a similar one in ur other operator
You sadly cannot transfer weapons from one operator to another
I’m doing this with the lawbringer shotgun. The kantrael is nice for the cleave, but getting 5 stacks of scattershot is pretty hard. The lawnbringers wide shot can easily keep up 5 stacks, I’m planning on running it with scattershot and flechette. With veterans onslaught talent anything bleeding also gains stacks of brittleness so it should soften up tougher enemies pretty well.
I have news for you...
"Veteran's Onslaught" oh :c
do you want to tell them?
Balls!
it probably doesn't because that'd be fun
is there a melee weapon primer?
one day we'll get a hotshot :c
Had a giggle reading that one, infernus just can't catch a break
lol ikr
and a full kasrkin outfit
literally everything recon had going for it is gone now
cant way for the hotshot lasgun fr
1200 rpm MK12 when?
Use the pewpew mod for hotshot lasguns at home
no melta gun for Zealot UwU
we have a hotshot lasgun at home
the lasgun lmao
"Abelard, cut off his balls"
traitor
Maybe I’ll just have to go with manstopper now to cleave through everything (assuming it can) instead of stopping at anything slightly tougher. Or maybe no respite to deal with armored enemies.
don't worry I'm still a plasma main
i bet you've seducing that navigator haven't you
I can sense your slaneshii cult from 10 miles away
true could work but not sure on the specifics sadly
literally 50% of the dialogue options are "yo girl want sum fuk?"
like unironically 50%
I legit just wanted to talk to Cassi and accidentally started a romance lol
yeah but does it work though
autogun fun

I accidentally pressed 1 ONCE
a spark?
Lasguns lack a competitive automatic option, although you can autofire an infantry las I guess
allspark
still no Argenta 😔
yeah Fullauto mod doesn't hit the same
ikr, she's literally one of the most likely romance targets in lore too
That sucks that bleed and onslaught wasn’t intended to work that way. That could have made a pretty interesting support setup.
Had an unfortunate wipe on heresy while leveling my zealot. Damn...Definitely would've cleared it with the vet. I'm crying.
IKR
Fun fact: Sisters aren't sworn to celibacy
People really don't like setting themselves up to shoot shooters. Let alone tossing grenades to buy time.
It's confirmed in a Caiphas Cain book
Sisters can have families (and do)
Had to work 5x as hard on my shroudfield just to keep the run stable before some bomber was just being annoying and we couldn't go anywhere else.
Its just "slightly" awkward when the mom is gone on a crusade and the dad is left on a hive world UwU
stay at home dad
or you can also sign up to be an officer in the guard 
Dad is also on a crusade, kid gets the "learn to shoot before you walk" treatment UwU
yknow
there are very very few depictions of children in 40k
which makes sense
but still
What about the "kid series" where a gang of kids are stalked by a Deathmark UwU
the what and the who now?
The WH40K equivalent of papoose
🤨 stop these heretical thoughts
that's a canonical Imperial world designation
suppose to be a massive luxury world where they bring up nobility and high ranking administration officers
as the Emperor would have wanted
Kid gets the lasgun. You get the chainsword
that but it shoots revolver rounds
im liking using the boltgun
problem: my aim sucks
I want a sororitas gf
is this the upcoming vet helm, just found it and hope its from future vendor
Thanks for coming to my TED talk
Damn want that helm
Probably in a paid bundle, it looks too cool for it to be attainable in game
I NEED IT
So called free thinkers when they release Scion outfits
Yeah why would Fatshark put cool shit in the game for free when they can paywall it
Well yeah but
I wouldn't want to live in the hivecity underneath

Great for nobles
Riddled with corruption
there is also a scion backpack that was in the files but it was removed from them iirc
I'm so glad the paid cosmetic vendor is such a bitch and aquillas aren't attainable ingame. It completely removes my desire to check the shop or experience any FOMO.
Fatshark really helped me out with my addiction to paying extra money for a different arrangement of pixels in a game I'll play for maybe a year.
I finally got a good Ia and then it got fucking bricked
They patched DoT applying onslaught
im so glad the outfit I actually want is off rotation for months so i don't bother checking ever
so when the outfit actually comes around, I wouldn't know because I don't bother checking 
And Lawbringer horizontal shots don’t have as much cleave as kantrael’s fire shots
Kantrael fire shots cleave basically everything
I think lawbringer’s special cleave 4.5?
My only gripe is that I only have three color options for every weapon.
grey, slightly lighter grey, and red.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think Halo Infinite had better customization .
Noo wayy
Season passes be waack
You have to buy the weapon skins anyways
The recolors stay away
And!
You can download the weapon customization mod
I mean they added cross helmet, pauldron, and coatings customization. And at least you can earn the event gear
Coatings but you have to buy them
So everyone has 1 pallet

Man if only we had a system that was used before
Yeah
kk wasnt the point but 
(I know. Shhhh, don't let the gargantuan pufferfish find out)
I mean that was one of the conditions the WC mod was given
Where playable monstrosities, I wanna do nothing then everything as a DH 
VT2 versus mod soon

Play as a rat of abnormal size
Gas rat players hitting the sickest crossmap bomb land known by okri
with VT2 versus on the horizon maybe we might get darktide versus 
We might grow multiple beards before that comes to be but ya I’m coping with ya battle brother 
Me as I play the most annoying sniper in all of man kind
I envy the salt farms from future sneakrat mains
4 ratling guns behind a corner UwU
Quick question about the Veteran's Charismatic talent: does this increase the size of your Coherency? The Aura is listed as affecting allies in coherency, and the talent increases the range of your aura by 50%. The wording is weird, so I'm hoping for some clarification xD
it seems to be just the aura
so a niche use with plasma and revolvers to get more ammo
but useless outside of that
Wouldn't the aura also be the aura which you spread coherency?
apparently no
as you can be in range of the ammo aura BUT not in range to hit everyone with VoC
so in my testing it appears to be aura radius only
VoC isn't coherency, it's 9m.
I guess that's okay
Has its own range listed.
Oh no yeah
no that's for the stagger
The toughness boost is coherency
to affect allies, its coherency
^
Ah, my bad.
So does that talent increase coherency radius or nah?
np easy to mistake because lmao Fatshark quality
Fuh
look at the Ogryn talent
Man I wish it did
So the shrinking of the radius by "Only In Death..." doesn't affect the VoC's toughness talent?
Damn, I want that on like... All of the classes
Damn u very specific wording
is exactly what mixed many when grenader squad on vet didn’t have “You” at the start of its explanation
no
yeah I get its technically distinct
but come on, no one sees that and thinks "ONLY aura"
because that'd be shit
Can't tell you how many times I've been just a bit outside of coherency and get dumpstered because I can't regen tough
indeed and a lot of Vet buffs are based off coherency

etc
Yeah, love playing my Vet, but man he's coherency tied
My morals of not spending money on MTX melting for Scion Drip
No wonder I prefer playing my ogryn nowadays
Bro just wins
I dont even have to range spec my ogryn to win with ranged weapons
The zealot with loner:

for pure skill ceiling, a Vet will beat out an Ogryn
My Veteran with his coherency buffs:
but Ogryn is much more consistent
My favourite Vet build is basically just Zealot lite, sadly.
Also basically nobody plays Ogryn, despite him being by far the strongest class imho
my favorite is plasma
So even if my team fucks up and dies
its because he is actually one of the weaker classes
My Ogryn can just smash into the room and grab them
Yo what, by what margin?
Ogryn -Stomps-
Zealot has more damage resist, Vet has more damage, Psyker has better crowd control
Has a get out of jail free nuke to bail the team out of literally any bad situation
Can crowd control literally everything
Ogryn kickback carries though
its just Ogryn is a lot easier to play
He doesn't do the most damage
imo also I feel like psyker and ogryn are difficult to play
"gungryn"

:c
The ogryn competing for damage against vet and zealot in regular missions
I just cant personally handle how slow the ogryn feels.
And if i run any gun-major build i cant get to ammo before the underleveled karkers vaccuum it up.

Sure he doesn't deal a ton of damage, but he can lock down an entire horde of ragers, other ogryns, and etcetera without even using his ult
he's actualy the same speed its just he's taller
so it feels slower
Yes gungryn is good in a specific mission that we juuust got
He can kill multiple specials at once with the kickback
Like, I don't see the weakness. Beyond maybe his boss damage.

Getting flashbacks to SW:Ep1
Since you have to spec into that really hard.
Melee is on the weaker side
the problem is that literally every other class beats Ogryn for their specific role
hp doesn't mean much compared to performance
To be fair, having an ogrynn is nic3
besides you want toughness anyways as "lmao Ogryn going down"
Hp, toughness, doesn't get interrupted, can taunt entire gunner rooms if you take slab shield
Ogryn is your standard jack of all trades, the others are better in their specific area, the ogryn is pretty decent at most things.
also
I think weapon blessings are also a very good point to make.
It's rare I see a good Ogryn though
I'm a bit floored that this is the consensus if I'm being honest
"ah yes my funny numbers with randos clearly beats out the truth"
Guess I just have bad teamates
But I could say the same for the vet. I can have a total everything suppression build, I can have an anti spec/elt build, I can have an anti boss build.
Which weapon is this? If you say kickback then I'm not gonna start looking 
You mean your false opinion
false because randoms can't beat out actually good players
I mean, frankly imo psyker is the weakest class
do you read the shit you say?
I feel like Ogryn's sheer durability, ability to control hordes, clear bad situations, and make space for the other characters to do their job is extremely valuable though, personally.
Very squishy
1 boss and 2 mini bosses? Doesnt matter, Ogryn hits taunt button
yeah none of this really matters when you have bad teammates.
You can hold DH for an hour in a corner of the map and it wont matter if your team doesn't help.
Horde of ragers and flak and gunners?
durability is Zealot, ability to control hordes is psyker, clear bad situations is Vet
I beat nearly every Plasma Vet in Auric T5/M with my Bolter. Clearly the Bolter is better than the plasma. 
Throw bomb
I disagree on clearing bad situations and durability.
Ogryn's by far more durable than Zealot imo
smite/dome psyker does the same thing but better
lmao
push attack > light > light on the mk 3 shovel is very goofy and fun
And frag bomb obliterates bad situations
Mmm pipe bomb 
knock enemies around like youre slapping them like on ogryn
it's funny that people are defending ogryn class in the veteran chat
I've got more plasteel invested in my Zealot than my Ogryn. Have you seen Ogryn's toughness regen? Bro can stay up forever.
its just new players not knowing how to use their class at their best
I mean, I main veteran, but I have a deep appreciation for Og.
it happens
chuckles in Infiltration main
Always happier to see him than zealots
yeah I wonder when Exec Stance will get some love
a good player can top dmg in any class
the other skills have a lot more interesting play imo
Also not a new player, couple hundred hours in and a VT2 veteran
nah VoC needs to have 4 total nodes
though the marking of elites/specialists is neat
shit doesnt need buffing
either choose overtoughness or stagger
exclusive choice
true, VoC with no penalty on revive + Duty and Honor when?
could work
though not sure when people take Stagger over Overtoughness in coherency
I guess for the bosses?
having overtoughness that regenerates is also dumb
like make it a flat value that doesnt regenerate

but it doesn't need a nerf either. it's not overpowered, it's just easy to use
imo
eh...
VoC is like the most op ult
Yeah shout isnt OP
psyker is best
its even convienent because its in the middle
smite is bestest
a good team doesn't need VoC and a bad team won't be saved by extra toughness
Its super useful, but there are better ults. I would argue it's BIS for Veteran though.
you compare it to the other 2 abilities and its the ability with the least skill required for most effectiveness 
EP smite is besterest
lol
a good team definitely wants VoC
stun bosses and hordes
to be fair, exec stance is a bit mid, yes
only 30 sec cooldown at worst
that's why I always go full glass canon and never take defensive options
A good team does want VOC, and bad players really benefit from it
real gamer
god the takes in Vet chat today
nah there is a point about a good team not requiring it cause its true, pubs require it
Tbf, the only major skill needed to make Infiltrator more effective is knowing when, and how to throw grenades without breaking stealth.
VOC still gives a team wide buff, even ignoring the toughness boon
or, maybe, a team is good because of the stagger?
I like screaming words at the enemy and becoming full yellow bar
staggering to make room + make room to throw nades or recharge dodges never hurts
I play all four classes regularly and everytime someone is dumb enough to say one of them is basically weaker than all the others it's a meme.
"meme"
Yes, I'm talking about you
I mean it's not exactly hard to see
Ogryn is probably the best class in the game, not to mention the easiest
idk why you need the flower glasses lol
I mean personally I think Zealot's kind of weak, but not too far behind. Granted. That's coming from me having trouble getting that class to work for me after way too much plasteel investment.
Not the most fun to play though
"best"
well there was a point where some are significantly stronger than others
Ogryns without kickback seem underwhelming to me
Thank you Lion
yeah ok
The worst class is the Servitor class and you cannot prove me wrong.
what is the weapon you use though @tardy plaza
Finally some appreciation for Ogryn's carry potential
dunno I am very biased against VoC because I never play it out of principle and I usually dont have space issues as long as I dont back myself into a wall. If I run 20 meters back and let my ogryn handle the front that is fine by me @slow spade that goes for both premade lobbies and pubs in higher difficulties. The only time I wish I had VoC is clutch situations but VoC stinky with 0 skill involved
Vet is the worst class, if it were the best class Cadia wouldn't be gravel
Sticky Rumbler if I want more boss / elite damage, kickback if our team has boss / elite damage covered
just point at any T.O.O HM run that has atleast one ogryn and you should have more than enough evidence that they're worth their potential.
true
and always shield
Hell the fastest ones have multiple ogryn
stop thje cap
Reminder that Cadia sacrificed itself to take out a Blackstone Fortress 😔
I like nuance in my gameplay and VoC offers none is all I am saying
It was honorable sacrifice
most of the Ogryns I've played with are brain dead
??? the speedruns are all stealth builds
Nuh uh, it's the poxwalker class
They certainly are RPing correctly
and have the situational awareness of a celery
I was seeing gungryn squad myself
they are playing in character stinky
Literally just deletes the entire room
but you can't flame them cause they are RPing and holesume
the difference between 7 minutes vs 11 minutes is like...who fucking cares, you're already farming the twins at that point
or something cliche
I legit turn off brain when I play oggie cause of how easy it is 
Ogryn is the least engaging gameplay I think I've ever experienced in a game, I legit need to be baked or drunk to enjoy it
Atleast the poxwalker class gets to die.
Servitor? I have to play fekkin amogus type minigames all day just to get the mourningstar's air conditioning working again.
tbh I'm really curious how Ogryn will be if Kickback gets touched
Defending that he's damn strong
all im asking is that they have the decency to not walking into my ESTABLISHED line of sight
is the plasteel/diamantine reward the reason people farm it?
its also the shortest map
since I learnt the bitch slap of bully club I get some neuron activations but I mostly play sharpshooter vet cause VoC stinky
im not asking them to stand aside, but im already firing, they don't need to step in front of me
for whatever reason
I have no idea why people farm it, I only did it a bunch to help people get the stupid insignia
the new offensive map is interesting at least
It’s inefficient for crafting materials but pretty fast for dockets
I get that they have a shield but im not a fking damsel in distress
also Ogryn is the strongest class, by virtue of being the most powercrept class
take your slab somehwere else
I have +30% dockets when doing the Offensive
though tbh I'd probably get more going for maelstroms
It's his staying power and space clear/preventative kickback that draws ogryn to top tier for me
God I wish Zealot had that kind of space clear
but not having +36% stam regen in maelstrom...
ah that makes sense. I got both the emblems on my first try so I never bothered with replaying it
I think their skill floor is in hell, and their skill ceiling is probably the lowest of the 4
Damnation TOO seems to have a 100% orange drop chance for Emperor's gift.
The 300 plasteel aint worth shit.
will try this for materials
U tried hard mode yet?
This I definitely agree with
Ogryn is wildly good but also boringly easy
He do be a simple lad
no, did they add it later?
they dont know about the bells
Boringly easy
I do 10 ogryn matches and 10 vet matches a day rn cus I'm working towards 250 missions played, the vet I have to actually focus and the Ogryn I put in a small window and watch Psych on Prime
I just dont like ogryns melee
Yes, but half the psyker chat would disagree with you and say smite sucks. Cus they're silly
Ogryn needs a power shield UwU
Lol what
i swear this is why very ogryns walk into my line of fire
Who disagrees with 'smite is good'
they aren't fking playing the game 
Smite trivializes 90% of the game
me
They argue about it three times a week
Maaaaaaaaaaate
and thats exactly why
Lol
so smite is good, you just dont personally like it
Tbf it's pretty much impossible to NOT get in the way even on fullscreen
ok imagine right you are hyped to play a melee class and 90% of the mobs are afk
I would rather
go play league
back when smite would proc headshots for the double shot perk.... BIG NUMBERS
I mean listen, it's okay not to like something and admit that it is objectively very strong
Smite is broken strong
But it is boring as fuck
Most my issues with the ogryn is the weapons tbh.
Dont like the melee that much, Dont like a lot of the ranged ones.
asking a warhammer fan to not hate something?
bruh
smite requires soulblaze to be useful and removes player interaction aka its bad for me
everytime a psyker smites a horde and just do an 180 and leave them there

tbh, idc
Kickback/Rumbler are great but with every other weapon I agree
I just save my hate for where it counts
Smite just makes the game boring

I never really see Smite that useful
I love this
i don't mind their presence because at least they help instead of making my game worse
I hate it when people ignore all the things I'm not killing to rush in for the free kills
and smite psykers just enjoy being a dps void but cope on doing huge damage to checks notes poxwalkers
honestly I prefer bots over most randoms
To be fair, smite killing poxwalkers has saved some aurics
so a smite psyker isn't the worst thing
Lol what sheo
today has a lot of weird takes
Yeah
I will never complain about a Smite psyker
there
Today has a lotta fuckin weird takes
people are loving ogryns and hating smite psykers?
look smite has a lot of value if you are pacing but I have to loot therefore I dont care
and if I am playing a melee class I just let them do their thing and fuck off somewhere else 
No it’s a secret Easter egg you can do that gives an additional insignia
😮
I mean I appreciate Smite for being super strong
People who just sit and spam smite anger me because they dont realize how they could use it to weave stagger states in and out with melee strikes
But they just choose to sit there like emperor palpatine being powered by a 9v battery
But I can understand why people might groan at seeing one in their game
I bet most of you are Ogryns main astroturfing in this channel
i'll give it a google, thanks for heads up
I can smell ya stinky ass
randos are worst than bots
Sounds like people just need to get more accustomed to their class's tools and execution.
I doubt that immensely ima be real
Bots fucking suck in this game
Immensely
Massively
smite is good for pacing like I said, pair with shriek and soulblaze and its ok for killing hordes and even elites if you can delay it enough
. My problem is I like nuance and smites removes exactly that therefore I just ignore smikers and go loot or something
hey at least they don't aggro random mobs and vaccum up ammo
at least the game lets me run away from the worst randoms
I must have reasonably good luck with my randos then
man I had time to farm 6k plasteel in auric with 30% golds curios, and all the gold farmed didn't even give me one weapon 360+ from the vendor. This is the worse luck I've gotten in this game so far ._.
The problem is that you hit hte nail right on the head
But people dont want to reflect on it.
Ogryn is powercrept af lowest common denominator gameplay that facerolls pretty much the entire map. Smite psyker is an intellect black hole that isn't anywhere near as useful as people pretend it is.
those are my hot (liquid nitrogen cold) takes
it comes and goes.
some days randos are completely new
recently they got better
I mean I mostly just run damnation and aurics, so
average random experience
I don't really encounter the heresy people anymore
smite for speedrunning if you dont account stealth is probably quite useful
like I said
lol
Hot take: they made it easy so Xbox players can enjoy the game.
honestly wouldn't doubt it
I mean I don't even mind that they made ogryn easy
Thats fine
Let the console players have fun
There's a class for damn near everyone in this game
The moment you understand Ogryn gameplay is essentially “you must hold mouse 1” and “don’t stand directly in front of veterans” you’re basically set
Before any balance changes, class dichotomies, etc., I just strongly focus on sharpening my decision-making and awareness of how my tools work, where they can function best, etc.
No patch is going to fully compensate for a gap in fundamentals. Strictly so.
Everything that follows with what's clearly strongest in the game's meta is meaningless.
if a gungryn holding M1 the entire game, chances are really high they are Xb players
if nobody got me, I know the gifts of the emperor don't can I get a throne be praised
no I do that as well
I just vacuum all the ammo
fuck you stinky vets

I dont blame gungryn to have a useless melee and a useless ranged
speak for yourself i got a really nice helbore from a random damnation mission
just so I can use my useless melee
Hi, I just started playing vet today. New to the game, but started as zealot. I had a few questions. Does vet synergize with any weapons particularly well? Also does the Las gun with the bayonet have must use blessings?
I want to hear the dacca
this you? UwU
Hello new lad

😎
:p
does onsluaght proc with the kantrael shotguns fire dot effect?
IDK about the helbore myself
I have a new screenshot now, let me find it with a gungryn running stubber
Most weapons are viable on Veteran, if given the proper blessings and setup
sadly I want to like gunlugger but its very ammo inefficient and well its a meme imo
unless you are using memeback
I realized it probably wasn't a good idea to write all my questions as a paragraph, my apologies
I recommend the Plasgun
fixed my ass bruh i just wanted to build
As it's not super blessing-reliant to get good performance
such is life
Helbore lasguns want onslaught & surgical as blessings
Onslaught increase your charge shots’ charge speed, surgical gives extra crit chance as long as you stay in ADS
Nothing wrong with fleshing out your thoughts.
it sure pads a lot of stats though
especially when you play like an asshole and block other people's shots
Kickback gunlugger ogryn w/ veteran survivalist buddy
Observe as the bad guys disappear mysteriously into red mist
I have an ogryn blocking 90 shots in a game
Become a fireteam + shock trooper helbore lasgun vet to exclusively piss off the t’augryns on your team
Idk what positioning your taking to get 90 shots blocked
front 💪
Which helborne is best?
dude the ogryn would purposely walk into my line of fire
Dogmatic +3
I reposition, he repositions, too
The funniest thing is that they can perfectly trace your movements while standing directly in front of u
Would you recommend any blessings for it?
Blaze AwayTHREE (caps at 3) is really good
god if this isn't true
Depends on what you’re looking for
Blaze Away and Gets Hot!
Take Maniac and Flak Damage perks
(Or carapace and unyielding your choice)
Def take maniac though
You will need it
Also which helborne is the best (I apologize if answered I read slow and possibly missed it)
Just saw your reply 95
It depends on what you’re looking for
I personally use MK3 (the bayonet bug still work?)
Unrelated but the only good part about that movie was that clown getting rolled in his own home. Lmao
Well, some people use mk3, but bayonet throws me off
tbh I got this so I'm not fucking rolling for a MK2 or MK1 Helbore
Reliable and does good damage in higher difficulties
Mk3, bleh.
548 highest rating being a recon 6d 
i feel you
sorry 1-shot killing everything on chest UwU
eh I dont care anymore about ogryns blocking, its just bad game design imo and should be changed. I am of the mentality why hate the players when you can hate the game
. I just try to climb on boxes or other shit that is readilly available if I need or just push up next to them
indeed lol
Mk2 has fastest firerate and hits all major breakpoints except flamer 1 shot (needs crit), has fastest reload speed and basically never runs out
Mk1 can hit flamer 1 shot without crit and one tap ragers if far away though, but shoots noticeably slower with more ammo consumption (you can actually run out if you just keep shooting forever)
Both mk1 and mk2 have very strong bayonet moveset, use a melee weapon with Brutal Momentum blessing to maximize the bayonets’ effectiveness in horde clear
Mk3 is a dedicated slow firing sniper with the highest damage, but the bayonet is horrible
Blaze away 3, and I'm guessing a charge blessing?
wwww
@grand merlin
no Blaze Away + Gets Hot
This is an amazing write up for a newbie. Thank you.
one day Fatshark will add combi-bolters so we won't have to "choose" things
Yep, great writeup
Now I just want the headhunter guns to get a hipfire increase
Gimme gimme
I mean sure, but I also hate the mentality surrounding Ogryns as if they can do no wrong.
The whole RPing thing is cool for a bit but it's getting tiring, especially when it shields them from ever being criticized by infantizing themselves.
As long as the ogryn does his job idc
It feels unfair when they can soft-troll, play like assholes and hide behind the RP wall
that's the problem they don't
I think mk3 might be for me. Feels odd trying to kill the weak guys with rapid trigger pulls
Idk maybe I'm just an encouragnig personality, I greet people when I get into game with them
So people play better
the only line I draw for bad oggies is shield oggies who plop their shield down and take a sip of their coffee 
Mk 1 feels super weird.
Feels like everyones having a bad time with randos and I'm over here having a reasonably good time
Maybe I need to get used to it. Because I like it.
Just keep in mind helbore lasguns all have really slow draw speed, and mk3 doesn’t have a good bayonet to alleviate this problem
I don't initiate but I will respond if someone says hi
i dont care how much into the bit they want to go
If you sit there with the scripture in your hand doing fuck-all just because i handed you a scripture, you're as ogryn brained as the ogryn you play.
I initiate pmuch every match
Mk1 and mk2 are essentially “gun on a spear”
I ignore even people saying hi 😎 fuck that
Ya boi here for a good time
yet you're here in the discord
Correct!
I accidentally got into high level players game and they kicked me. Only negative experience so far
the mk3 is definitely more suited for backlining and having somebody able to cover your buns
And I'm having a good time
What region are u in
I queue aurics to get plasteel and not to fall asleep from normal T5s not to greet others
bit more than the usual big guy in the sky providing
hey man what's up? are you having a good Christmas? god I hope so

stinky pubs never looting
us
Owiie
I got you :D
It happens sometimes, its okay. If you weren't ready for it you weren't ready broseph, doubt they had hard feelings about it
We can play together
who is us? can you be more specific?
Bad luck
I don't know if other players can even kick you
🤮 diamantine spare me
I made it to what I believe the end with no downs.
Alas lads, it has been fun, but I gotta drive
played 200h and I've never seen a kick button
Though I was sticking with the big guy
like vet chat is some kinda hangover inducing beverage lol
lol
texting and driving improves your multitasking, helping you becoming a better gamer
true

make sure to hit a pedestrian too
Gotta get my k/d higher
bonus points
it inhibits your reaction to adrenaline
drinking and driving is optimal performance
The eastern us I believe. I'm not, is there a location in the ui I can Check?
damn, that's like gaming irl
@grand merlin u on steam or Xbox platforms
Lol ya'll are unhinged af I love it
go by GTA rules: sidewalk is the new street
Xbox
sorry, I don't see color directions
Later fellas and gals
Add me, we can play
Friend code is my name here
That'd be great! Probably will have to be in a few days, but sure.
"my name here" is an invalid friend code
can you check again?

what a real g
good thing I don't have a kid
or a partner
or support
😔
(just kd im doing okay
)
For the Emperor
Be strong
After the fact, I found out it's vote to kick
the Emperor protects 
Can only change one
I got voted kick once right after clutching 3 people on Syncorax
I didn't say anything in game except saying in comm "Hey guys slow down we have horde behind"
to this day I still don't know what happened 
To flak or maniac
I’m aiming for slug one taps, right?
preferably
on crowd control weapons it can actually be really good
my fave columnus V is +infested +maniac
i dont have much experience on shotty but for agri you can one/two tap everything without slug that is not carapace
I think slug is for carapace and long range (like 20+m out) kills
Uhhhhh the slug already 1 headshot kills both ragers, both flamers and both gunners
playing slug shotgun 
how can you man
its like plaing a headhunter but with a 5 second delay
no I mean you don't need to load the slug, just use the normal shot
cause the load time is not nothing
I only play the dragon shot shotgun. It just looks so cool.
I think I’ll go maniac
whats your shotty lookinglike anyway
