but its very much never needed
if you use ranged weapons youre bad
I'd rather have surv
Or you just happen to get a bunch of crushers or something else it can be draining
And not have to worry about my teammates huffing all the ammo
or a line of gunners ig again im not a vet main but ammo can be drained in certain situations
i intend to shoot 1000 rounds out of my graia brauto every mission, i want to melt my barrel
nooooo!!! stop being bad!!!!!11
I almost have a scoreboard for this
also, new chainsword goated
Although on my ogryn I regularly run outta ammo because I'm shooting my gun and everything else can get fucked
I highly suggest everyone give it a whirl
based
you run krak and plasma?
So much ammo if you had surv
yes, because I rarely shoot crushers with the plasma gun
I love holdouts if its an interesting location. SO I just let it rip
its a waste of ammo
on me stubba
chuck a nade at them and delete them
lmao
move on
Like you picked up the most on your team there lul
you regenerate infinite grenades
you have 33 ranged elite kills, the highest in the team 
survive regenerates ammo from a talent too
but you can just triple tap them and move on
such a weird little complex you have going on
Alright, look people. My point is that you don't need survivalist.
Good skill, sure.
But its absolutely not needed to succeed in matches.
literally all that matters is you can play what style is fun to you
Enjoy your crutch, but don't pretend its not a crutch.
and make that possible with your choices
yeah but the other auras do like literally nothing, so jsut take it anyway
i dont think its a crutch
they save you points in your talent tree
the other auras are just irrelevant
912 enemies killed 
almost
and that goes a long way.
I have more
i cannot see how the 5% dmg is helping me any new breakpoints on the weapons i use
except bolter as someone pointed to me the other day
I kill everything
I typically average 500-700 depending on the mission but

I'm using a crusher so its meant to kill and just
My mission times have dropped to ~30 minutes
slap everything around
so its literally just killing everything
Only advantage of running fire team for v7 from my testing is easier access to 10 percent melee
Doesn't really help much for anything else on v7 itself tho
Always be where the enemies are
That being said v7 is so ammo efficient that it's reasonable to go fire team just to access that 10 percent melee if it helps your swinging a lot
fireteam/movespeed stinky
Ive been hating plasma since the last patch made it not shoot half the time lol, fatshark pls
love mag dumping with no consequence
this one makes me laugh
Power Sword+Plasma Gun is the ultimate power trip
oh my highest was 1k but that was on zealot, i dont think i could ever be able to replicate such a thing on vet tho
I hesitate to say that the game isn't hard.
whack
Cause I'm biased by my amount of hours and practice.
its difficult enough
I guess I just revive people too much or something
here, this was an auric maelstrom
combat axe 
my favorite melee weapon in this game
average ogryn scoreboard and means literally nothing
which combat axe? I haven't gotten one for my zealot. Probably never because I love the crusher but good info to know
rashad

10% melee damage node my beloved
Both are super overtuned.
you just melt things with rashad
So uh. . . take whichever one rng gives you
tho the damage to cara is pretty okay
Fearing the day im posted on here
Is this my present ?
Just don't take damage, watch as your entire team get slaughtered because they're dumb 
Dont actively jump infront to kill trapper because ogryn was blocking your shots
Don't actively do anything, just chill in the back while team just struggle
would the new cadia chainsword benefit more from wrath or savage sweep for cleave?
wrath
Wroth
Thank you!
See if hadron takes a shit in it
Speaking of chaxe, what are some good blessing for it?
on mk12 I've been going with headtaker slaughterer
you won't 1 shot crushers, but it's 1 shot to light
if you want to thrust just kills everything
Im always into Shred and Rampage for Chain Weapon
Seen some people run it with bloodletter for boss
oh wait ChAxe doesn't have those
Welp Headtaker and Slaughterer probably your best bet
would headtaker be the only "mandatory" blessing for chaxe? What blessing would be ass (if any)
headtaker bloodletter up there
Very Very amazing
Serrated Blade stack 1 stack or each attack stack one stack?
Hello, veterans. Hadron gave me the good stuff. What should I do with this perk/blessing-wise?
maybe carapace for maniac and PC T3 replace with PC T4 when you get it
each attack applies 1 stack
Looks fine, isn't it?
no
what the best weapon for Veteran ?
Current meta is PowerSword and PlasmaGun
Reject meta. Embrace chain weapon supremacy.
Which is also still pretty meta
Embrace chain weapon supremacy ?
Chain weapon are also pretty meta right now if you don’t have power cycler
Thanks 
Chainaxe also a good option.
Really, the game is pretty flexible with weapons. Most weapons have at least one model that is good enough for everything
Almost all weapon are useable with the correct blessing
Then it just come down to how much space bar can you spam
Where's my shovel gang at
question
why are there veterans without power cycler
game has been out 2 years
thats plenty of time to find it
you assume everyone are playing this game for 2 years
Re-equip your equipment
just click the same icon
Sometime game bug out idk
you deleted a weapon that used to be saved to that loadout
just change weapons to fix it
Didn't the game didn't provide option to sell specific weapon equipped
ty
Game kinda suck for the first 1.5 years tbh
Was waiting for it to get VT2 treatment before buying it
Only brought this game because they reworked the class system + content drop
its only been out for 13 months
man
ogryns that come and stand in front of you with their shield planted covering your whole screen is annoying
but its also cute
does the melee weapon for gunlugger matter too much?
or are you looking for something specific out of it
Theyre trying their best

Oof totally gonna be a skaven update for darktide watch
ah yes the dump stat really dumped 
would you say this be a good replacement plasma gun despite the blessing?
and despite the lower ammo?
Depends on your next blessing
Your current plasma charge rate is kinda trash but idk how much of a difference it makes
its very small
so this is 73% charge rate
and this is 33%
its not that big of a difference really
atleast not big enough for it to cause problems
the three main things i want maxed out preferably is damage, stopping power and ammo
bruh
this hurts to look at
now im at 18 profane plasma guns
how many i bought trying to get soemthing similar to my older plasma gun
this is basically what i been trying to roll again
literally best possible plasma gun besides the thermal resistance
been i messed up and left glorhunter even tho can be nice
although the unarmoured perk dont like much
Why would you take thermal resist or ammo over charge rate?
im just saying that one was low on my older plasma gun
and wasnt sure if having that high was better to have
is it flakiac for plasma or unyeilding/cara?
they all reduce hits on relevant targets, basically user preference
i would probably value flak the least though
most flak elites are already 1 shot
so maniac + cara or smth?
Thinking of using kantrael for horde clear on a melee focused build 
I'd try other options first but I have 0 dockets
also whats the dump stat for it?
charge rate and up to a certain amount, thermal resist
you can have something like 65% thermal resist and still get 8 uncharged shots or 3 charged shots
somewhere in that ballpark
man agripinaa Braced Kalashnikov is fun as heck
ok ty
Normally for plas you’ll do maniac and either flak or unarmored depending on what breakpoints you can hit.
As much as I want to do it, I may just have to abandom my goal of chainaxe melee build 
Unarmored is really good if it helps you but breakpoints for unarmored gunners and shotties
Why
Too much trouble with hordes
What’s your build and what difficulty?
(I use chainaxe now in aurics and hard mode twins)
This vet's only lvl 25 so it's not quite at its full potential yet, and damnation. But regardless of build it feels like I just can't deal with hordes 
Do this instead
move speed 
You need the stamina regen delay node and trenchfighter
You can roll with infiltrate but voc is far better in this context because you’ll spend most of your time in melee
I pair my chaxe with plasma
On my old vet I had tons of fun with infiltrate, though I was using the combat axe rather than chainaxe
Yah infiltrate is easily my favorite in most games. It’s often the difference between a loss and a win, which is great
VoC with chaxe however is crazy awesome and you’ll solo everything anyways
i prefer infiltrate over VoC
ive been scrambling my talent tree and trying different things
currently here
This build you can do either without a problem
These dudes that I forget the name of tend to be one of my biggest problems in hordes with my current build
If he’s having trouble with Hordes recommending a Chainaxe that’s very clearly kitted for single target damage isn’t smart lmao, if anything he’ll want Slaughterer or Headtaker
Takes a lot of hits to kill them with lights but there's too many enemies around to focus them specifically
You isn’t very smart
Jk it’s a good point
Thunderous might still help, but yeah, bloodletter probably isn't necessary for me
You can go slaughterer/head taker and bloodletter
Bloodletter is core for chaxe for your revved specials against crushers, maulers, and monstrosities
It practically instas them even without bloodletter anyways :p
when do we get veteran lmg
Mk6ps is life.
Trench fighter and stamina regen node are going to be your game changers @idle dirge
i wish marksmans focus was better
I might go for unarmoured damage instead of maniac damage, it already instas ragers and mutants 
i like the idea of landing headshots rewards you with better damage
Playing mini games within mini games for meh buffs. No thanks.
The reason I recommend maniac flak is for one hitting them on an overhead heavy rather than a special but you do you
anythings more interesting than snoozefesting with plasma/psword and deleting everything
Plasma is meh.
then don't snoozefest with plasma/psword
im not
marksman is a pretty good bonus for finesse weapons
it's simple but it is what it is
You can light rev ragers, but in AM where there’s like 10 of them, you need to be able to overhead heavy and leave
lasgun supremacy
lasgun supremacy
i am just watiting to get my new helbore skin
kant laspistol with it
Braces auto guns laugh at rager spam.

if the emperor intended us to use plasma he wouldn't have made the lasgun
i be glad to bay 2000 marks to get a unique helbore mk1 skin im dead ass serio0us
We’ll see how things go when I get this to level 30. I’ll probably revert to using combat axe or power sword anyways 
Kek
if the emperor intended us to use plasma he wouldn't have given us the boltgun (our arms should not be able to take the strain of firing a boltgun)
Definitely been having trouble against ragers with the combat axe, their range is absurd so I can’t get the uppercut and stagger them before being hit three times
(that we can is a sign that the emperor is watching)
Yah. Double movespeed node and an overhead heavy on chaxe lets me one shot them and back up enough to not get hit. It’s kinda silly.
So you overhead heavy, dodge back, rev, block attack, dodge back, overhead heavy, repeat
And you can clear them out without getting hit and can even do that in the middle of a mixed horde
I’ve also been having fun with vraks mk7 on an exec build, but that also raises hordes as an issue. I could easily take the psword for that, but then I’d fall back into just using that all the time instead of shooting 
This is bad, right?
lul look at my damage taken/stations used, on vent purge HISTG damn
shovel does work
Knives make people play worse proportionate to the quality of the knife roll
Fellers whats the percentage chance that the melta gun that was datamined as far back as the beta got scrapped and thats why we've not seen it yet
im sure its coming eventually
lots of development plans got delayed from the shit launch
well if i had to say next update after christmas break would prolly come with weapons
FS traditionally drops skills, fixes, content, fixes, then weapons, then fixes
and we've just been through the fixes post skills/content phase
Is this worth investing on guys?
im really hoping its gonna be released soon
that or new guns like the hotshot lasgun/hellgun
i generally just want some new weapons that are not just existing weapons but different patterns
im also hoping the hotshot/hellgun since there is a scion skin being released probably tomorrow
would be a letdown if they did not
Oof i just found this in shop
Is it me or Vet's Keystone looking redundant
There's better passive you can go for
That's more for Assasination mission right
full 20% more damage(or 32% with the 8 stacks
because I dont have much problem killing anything except Cara
Would any advice friend like to suggest what blessing I should use here?
Replace No Respite for Deadly Accurate or replace Headhunter with Falter?
Middle and right are worth taking, marksman focus is mediocre if not completely redundant
all the keystones are good tbh
Its fine
I mean like, imo if you don't over think marksmens focus and just play it like how you play exe stance regularly
It's a nice little damage boost
I think folks are overtaking "DONT MOVE" Too much
Do not run anything with Falter. You dont want to stagger enemy's heads
Switch No Respite for Surgical instead and change your weak spot damage for Flak
yes
Problem is you can just get more consistent damage buffs throughout the tree
Its not bad but it's arguable whether or not it's worth the points
Yeah thats fair, I think maybe it needs some more utility buut I'm still testing it out
i find it not great since even just walking removes stacks
like this game is about moving and dodgeing and having to stand still or move while crouching sounds horrible
they need to remove the walking stack part and it would be more worth it
Again
You retain stacks for 3 seconds if you headshot kill something
yes but still
If you play marksmen like you play exec stance
You'll get 10 stacks consistently and not feel the drop off
marksman focused worked better with the lawbringer t han I expected but it's still not that use friendly to use, it's probably the keystone in the game that needs the most buffs in terms of usablility
I do think you need to get camouflage
But you'll never want to stand still as long as you think you do
Its a nice damage steroid, + toughness regain on weakpoint kill
They are footnotes to a tree everyone was fine with
Weapon spec and focus target hard disagree 
weapon specialist is really nice though it can kind of mess with how you play, and the mark keystone is just really solid
I just think folks are over thinking it
attack speed and dodge distance is all I could ever want, but it makes me want to never change weapons to maintain stacks
which actually makes the special on the las pistol feel good for once, I can push bursters away without having to switch to my melee and waste my stack
It removes only 1 stack at a time. You can slide. You can headshot to move. Headshotting a poxwalker gives you 3 stacks. Camouflage can give you stacks at any time. Definitely overthinking it
yeah but compared to focuse fire which is your enitre team doing 20 or 32% extra damage
easier said then done
and also the buffs it adds dont even seem big enough
sliding around while crouching can work for movement and keeping stacks but it's just so awkward, you lose out on trying to keep stacks up than playing normally, even if the bonuses from marksman can be nice
like i do more damage with focuse fire then marksmen from testing it
I still think those keystones are kinda just neat additions.
No. It actually is easy.
Well
not always going to be
and from testing it right now
my plasma gun currently fort example is doing very noticably more damage with focuse fire then marksmen
with the 8 stacks
Marksmanship focus kinda synergies well with taking out multiple gunners quickly in theoory
You could meet a breakpoint with focus target if you really need to too
People don't realize you actually don't need to move at all times in a game in Darktide. If you're a vet with a lasgun, you likely are moving far more than you ever need to.
focuse fire also applys for your enitre team
plasma isn't really a gun you want to use with focus
why i take it over marksmen
focus wants guns with good headshot damage, like lasguns or infantry autoguns or laspistols
small wonder plasma would do better with tagging
im running 30% weakspot damage and volly fire
i can melt a lot of enemies with it
plus focuse fire helps enitre team
Which blessings would you recommend on it? appreciate the help.
well for your best blessings you want Deadly Accurate and Surgical on the mark 9 HH
but Crucian isnt too bad. But not too great either
Got falter IV after upgrading it, not sure if thats worth it
Yeah i'll swap that, ty
What is absolute max a toughness curio can be?
you are welcome
17 wasnt it?
yes
the most i seen was 17%
fug. I got a 16 here.
tho you can add an extra 5% as a perk
my vet is at 206 toughness
for my plasma gun
yeah 17
for example
17 is quite rare
Don't sweat about the 1%. You'll get a 17% eventually.
yeah just wait for it and check the shop
I know but now i been checking brunts every so often now, i forget what the max is
I mean it's just how I perceive it that you could spend ability point somewhere else
I mean, if anything its an affirmation of how strong Vets talents are
That folks can still build around not taking a keystone
But focus target and weapon spec
i do like the current tree
Definetly worth the points
allows me to pick more important talents
Marksmens focus is debatable but it can open up the lasguns more
A lot of damage potential but I still feel without VoC, Veteran just have no game
Infil and exec are both still good
merry xmas everyone :3 especially the cute femboys
Infil itself has utility and toughness restoration
Going into Auric Mael with allow you to stack 150 toughness simply because how much mutant running at you
then the moment I go EC, I just get fuck consistently
Haven't try Infil
Has a ton of potential for a melee vet. Probably one of my favorite abilities to use for vet now
I think marksman focus shouldn't deplete stacks when ADS
That way you can still move and not have to think about the drop off
A
And honestly, makes more sense to use on a veteran rather than a zealot. I wonder if the stealth for the zealot was just a cop out cause they couldn't think of anything else for the zealot
You will have 10 stacks even if you shmoov around just by getting headshkt kills
It has its different uses
Zealot Stealth are marginally better because of one unique weapon type
Zealot stealth is pretty spicy to one shot thongs
That 10% rending at 10+ stacks and 1% reload per stack could use some work.
thammer insta boss kill?
Yea Instant Kill Build
Like bruh there's a 10% flat rending node in the middle tree that you can still get as a MF vet
It is but that's all it seems good for. Doesn't really have a nice buff when leaving outside of toughness gain. Cause chastise does it better
one shotting thongs
Even if you don't run thammer, knife backstab to get stealth resets is satisfying
I dislike Knife Player overall, It's either very very good or just very very bad
I only ever ran Momentum with it, so mobility is the survivability
No inbetween with Zealot Knife
Leave stealth and you still have very long dodge distance
It is but it's so good. I don't know, I just feel some potential abilities was lost cause they didn't want to implement anything else
Could I ask
They still use PowerLevel of your equipment to dictate your roll?
welp fuck, it doesn't look great
6 second upgrade is like trying to get into Vets infil lane yeah
I'll have to play more to find my opinion on it
They dont, they use your max level
Weak spot to flak and terrifying barrage to dumdum?
guys I did it
DeathSpitter is alright right
the gun
That guns pretty good
Deathspitter is BIS for most autoguns
Yea im going for DumDum but Im not sure
Deathspitter + dumdum my beloved
Dum dum, death spitter
Welp timeto trust the internet
I still dont roll up to 360+ for some reason at 30
Just spend 300k docket
Its just rng
46٪ ammo and you're missing like slightly less than a mag. Like 40-50 bullets I believe
As soon as you hit level 30, you can get the 370-380's
Should be fine, I'm running this talent
With Survivalist
I prefer the auto guns than the lasguns. I don’t know if it’s just me but the lasguns feel incredibly underpowered
Yea you're fine. Just pointing put how the ammo stat scales. Large differential %-wise but not very substantial that breaks any gun
But this one, I believe it's truly unsalvageble
So far the Vraks is the best weapon for sharpshooters well ones who don’t like the clunkiness of the Bolter and plasma gun
Lasguns lean less into the raw dps and more into the sustained fire and accuracy
Low ammo on a pgun does hurt it though
Since iirc ammo pickups replenish a % of your max ammo
pgun?
Terrifying to dumdum, weak spot to flak ezpz
You can really fuck up your ammo pick ups if you have low ammo on some guns
Revolver, plasmagun
Well I’m more ranged dps. I just wanna rip through enemies like paper
Plasma
Anything with already low max ammo
Or errm
I dunno if revolver even has max ammo...
But pgun for sure
It’s usable. Wrath to Rampage, Shred to Savage Sweep unless you are fishing for crits
Vraks im just popping heads like bubble wrap
I prefer helbore and Ia infantry right now. Columnus if I'm running shout with onslaught. Shocktrooper + survivalist let's me essentially always have ammo and I like that
A vet with helbore is basically ammo pickups for everyone else
I got a Columnus on standby if I’m in the mood for Dakka
Wish there was a locker to store my weapons
Just in case you want some variety
What if I’m in the mood for some boomstick action
Damn autocorrect
Abominable Intelligence indeed
Guardsman showing his shotgun to feudal worlders
Because if Evil Dead or Doom has taught me anything it’s that buckshot is a demon’s kryptonite
Also what would you consider the best shotgun
Kantrel
Lawbringer
Agripinaa
None is truly the best, they all do different things well, and other things worse
Because I remember getting one that absolutely destroyed everything
Lawbringer can provide some crowd clear/control to reach targets beyond the horde, while maintaining good sniping capabilities
Agripinaa has a sniping special shell and has the best sniping capabilities overall, but it has the lowest pellet count and generally does not handle hordes of enemies well
I’m more of a run and gun guy so I guess Lawbringer will suit me
This is the music from the 1995 3DO game entitled "Doom". It is the music that plays during Map 9. The song is called "I Sawed The Demons". This was ripped by cybdmn. Thanks to him for the rip. NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED!!
*This song is also played during Map 19.
Kantrael has a lot of pellets and a lot of damage advantage over Lawbringer/Agri, but due to that it can be a bit worse at sniping things at a distance, but it’s thoroughly compensated by having a very flexible/universal special shell and burst capabilities against close targets
Overall I would say Kantrael is “the best”, but that’s a subjective take
I like the most what it does, is all
What the Veteran Top 3 weapons right now? I am loving the Bolter but I realize that Psykers are also built for taking down Elites. I'm curious what else are good options.
That would probably be Plasma, Columnus 5 IAG and Zarona revolver, but all of these weapons are extremely overtuned and I dislike playing them 
Vraks it slaps
It’s like a M14
Vraks 3 HHAG is my personal favourite Vet weapon, alongside the Bolter
What is the difference between the 3 - 4, just auto to semi auto?
3 to 4? What do you mean?
Mk VII = 7 
Fuck me. X.x
Mk7 is semi auto, single shots, high damage per bullet and respectable recoil
And you favor the III to the VII?
Mk3 is semi auto with forced burst fire, 3 rounds/burst
I like the Mk3
It’s very gentle recoil and excellent finesse damage
I'll have to get Brunt to give me a taste of both.
What should I be looking for in an agri revolver?
The MK3 just doesn't hit like the MK7. That M14 feel is beautiful.
Cruccian roulette, Hand cannon, at least imo
Can't go wrong with hand cannon
Cruccian roulette fits the fan better to fish crits
Look good and feel good
The only problem is just ammo
I’m surprised that mod doesn’t track accuracy %
Could you link it?
Thx
Most people use this
I know right
Like a carbine from WW2 or Nam
How well is 4% Combat Ability Regeneration stacked 3 times
Whenever you shoot you listen closely the gun plays Fortunate Son
Never got use to using that gun didn’t go with my play style
Does this offer still stand?
I think so.
I also think the melee on mk3 is good when you master spacing.
I don’t even know what my play style even is it’s like a run and gun sniper or something it makes no sense. The only thing that matters to me is killing everything before my other teammates kill it
True Dump Stats
The other 2 are for rapid kills because of the faster fire time, at least that's the conclusion
groaners
I play similarly, except I stay close to the tankiest person and just take care of things that can become a problem
I just always think if I kill more than everyone I’ll get more dockets and plasteel
Life ain't daijoubu
That's normal.
I think anyway.
I just full on Arnie Commando go 80s action hero. Probably cause I grew up with arena shooters where you’re a fast running death machine
I hate Psword I hate Psword I hate Psword
Just get it fron melks
Get axe it better
No use cooking pswords
I'm at the point now when I'll only go down when my team crumbles
is it just me, or does anyone else hate seeing plasma/recon laser vets? it seems everytime I head out with them they're always shooting everything demonhosts included
If I want to play Axe, I be playing Zealot
The one I have kills everything
For vet
I want stats like this for my m3
The only reason why I want to play vets to begin is to touch Psword
I find it easier to shoot than 1 and 2
Melk offer sucks, I start on November and here with me
I don’t really care much for my melee weapon if it kills I’m fine with it. As a Southern blooded American the only thing that matters to me is my gun
Yea
I’m full on redneck except minus the racism. So me like bang bangs
You think southern accents exist in the 41st millennium 😂
I wanted one for my Ogryn
atleast for me i gotten some good weapons from melk
I wanted to make a hillbilly ogryn based off of Butch from GTAs Republican Space Rangers. But I made Heavy from TF2 instead
I made my Veteran Blazkowics from Wolfenstein. I know it makes more sense to make Doomguy but Doomguy would be an Astartes not a guardsman
Dude the game just teased me like 3 times in a row
yeaaaaa fuck my plasteel
they gave me the same fakin blessing 3 times in a row
I’m out of plasteel because I keep upgrading my weapons
The only thing I don’t like about the Armoury is you don’t know what rating your weapon will be. Whenever I get a Columnus it’s so low. I know they are all profane but I’d like one high enough so I can upgrade it past my current weapon or strong enough so I can use it as a backup
My issue is mission completion weapon usually suck
No, you will spend more dockets
BM is good doe
Especially on Psword
Id argue that power cycler and sunder are better
Putting up mah dukes, BM for headshotting Crushers will do more imo
At least
From what I've heard

oh I only use my psword for trash, krak grenades go boom
Yuh
I just want a good Columnus so I don’t have to do contracts for Melk in hopes there’s one in stock or I keep wasting my money on mystery acquisitions
columnus is mid imo, agri IAG has more control at range
Yeah that’s my usual go to for range and crowd control
I use my plasma build explicitly to 1-tap heavy enemies
if you're running into people shooting dh randomly on high level there's something fundamentally wrong
Love thunder hammer zealots that 2 tap demon hosts
I’ve been using auto guns more than lasguns because they look cooler and a lot of them compliment my play style
Purging heretics as they should
also this must be up to preference because I love the columnus for my weakspot build, the spray pattern is weirdly similar to the ak from csgo
I know as a guardsman I should be using lasguns but a lot of them are underwhelming and mostly relies on rng to get a good one
I am of the opinion that lasguns all need a complete rework because they suck so bad, there's always another vet weapon that will outperform any lasgun and it's annoying
Exactly not fun for guardsmen rp
Columnus does struggle abiiit for closer range
I mean
Long!
But the damage is one of the best
I mean
Its a perfectly acceptable weapon
Recon is bad
I remember getting one super good Columnus and after that all my future ones were dogshit
It just feels like it's over shined becuase revolver and pgun are so good
tapfire kills snipers with the weakspot build so that's all I need
But it's acceptable
No Power Cycler Gameplay
If there isn't at least one meta lasgun I'm completely dissatisfied
I wanna go for like a Marksmen/Assault Trooper build but I don’t know what tree is good for that
We are on the stage of balance I feel of like
weapon is worse than the best guns in the game
garbage time
Its not a bad gunn
There is
Kantrael Ia
I shall grind harder then
I solo-queue auric heresy and I do damnation whenever I have an organized group or need plasteel
I mean, Auric Damnation isn't that hard thou
There needs to be weaponry that can perform to auric standards for it to be considered good in my eyes and the lasguns just don't
Auric maelstrom dams do get a little wacky
I’m trying to go for a build that is pretty much like frontline soldier. Into the fray but able to deal with any enemy
and Auric Maelstrom is the only thing that is probably demanding in all situation
I do think we are spoiled for OP weapon
Again Kantrael with head hunter, deadly accurate will do well
run powersword, plasma with voice of command
It just... maybe requires abit more brain power than point and click adventures like pgun
But Kantrael just feel liek a gimmick columnus
Plasma gun doesn’t go with my run and gun play style more of a sniper support weapon
Helbore 1
Helbore 2
Laspistol 2
the only current "troll" guns are the recon guns
Current my build look like this
not sure what you mean
I've built a few kantrael lasguns on my vet and I've fiddled around with the build system, nothing really seems to work well aside from the Kantrael MKXII
and I just don't like it
Also lasguns have inverse damage drop off
Lasguns inverse damage drop off do be fuckin around
Its a staple of why it's so good against gunnahs
Anything to improve on this (Using Columnus)
Where... I would go as far as to say a pgun could struggle
When there's multiple spread out gunners
It’s just more like a rocket launcher than a run and gun weapon. You can’t run and gun with an rpg
What weapons are you using this with
Hmm?
You just left click with pgun
Lucius pattern can be good with the right build, it just isn't fun to me
The helbores perform well, and infantry lasguns generally do although are more precision reliant. I think their shit damage to flak should be adjusted. Laspis also works well.
Columnus
I understand what you're going for
then you are looking at the wrong weapons if you consider kantrael weapons run and gun
unless we talk abot MG4
Because then you should go to the columnus
^^
Spray down hordes
I don’t use Kantrel weapons
Run and gun
or any other autogun for that matter
oh my bad
@umbral scaffold
what do you mean plasma is plenty of run and gun
you guys are completely missing my point
some of the fastest swap speeds
I dislike lasweapons because there's always a better alternative
I mean
I use Agripinna Mark1, Columnus, Lawbringer, and Vraks
Urgh
They're not top tier? Yeah I agree.
well you said any enemy I gave you an option for any enemy
He's not wrong in that regards...Lasweapons are in a weird spot right now except being super accurate or Lasborn dmg
Again I think that logic is speaking of why there's a gun imbalance between a select few guns
Not necessarily though
That's the issue vet chat faces
I am upset because stubbers are fundamentally more reliable in any given situation in the game despite lasweapons being infinitely better than stubbers in lore
I don’t know if they improved it but last time I used a plas it was clunky. I’ll give it another try
and LasWeapon Gimmick don't do it's favour in these map where people just come up and fuck you up
"Inverse Damage Drop Off" more like I don't do a lot of damage most of the time
it has infinite cleave and you can literally whip it out faster than a 9mm
and don't get me started against Crusher with LasWeapon
Felt like a laser bolter back then
But wait stubbers struggle range
I would say I like running the revolver but the columnus has been shining to me
nah its better than the bolter atm
Not to say I don't prefer the revolver
They really do not
So I guess they fixed it in an update
I strongly recommend helbore 1 and 2 for those purposes
Theyre not gonna be able to pin point a sniper in the back like a lasgun can
I kill reapers with 35 rounds from a columnus at 50+ meters on damnation dude
and thats fine, weapons should have weaknesses as having a weapon that can deal with everything is not a good balance choice. Besides with marksman focus and a rending node you can do like 600 damage per headshot on a crusher if you really want to do it
Depends on the gun, rending counters ranged damage falloff so if you're taking an automatic it's really down to recoil management. The agri and graia IAG's are fairly good down range, brautos are obviously much less good.

damage dropoff doesn't change based on enemy
I don't think there's a lot of weakness overall with the meta weapon right now
luv me helbore I, luv me bayonet simple as
Plasma/Columnus IAG/Revolver
Laughs in ciag
I guess it's weakness is the recoil though
Please stop talkin, that recoil is as good as saying you can't shoot
Huh?
Yea, The recoil is non-existent on Columnus
A little bit of kickback but it's not the cons tbh
let me introduce you to exe stance
It's pretty noticeable down range (without exe or other factors that reduce it). The damage is still too insane for that though.
have you tried going into your game settings and turning off screenshake entirely
Coward move tbh
Eh it's annoying
this comment doesn't deserve a dignified response
But you did respond tho
Says a settings coward 😂
I haven’t tried the Pgun since the beta but I remember absolutely hating to the point that I never used it again. Guess it’s better now
35 shots for an elite is quite bad
Learn to shoot without being a cheeser tbh
I feel like I turned that off but I should double check, where's it under?
"boo hoo I don't like the way someone plays the game so I'm going to call them names on discord because I'm petty and need validation"
cant understand how people play with that on
Ok coward 👌
sod off
Is that camera sway intensity?
yeah
Screenshake on any game if it has the option [off]
Already set to 0
Easily 🤷♀️
You can shoot without having to use a cheeseburger yes. Burgers aren’t fundamental to firearms
I can tell a bait when I see one 
That and motion blur I've had off since
Especially when I used to use hammer zel
Overwhelmingly so
bro is literally just here to harass people like it's a youtuber discord
That good huh
I leave it on and have no issues shooting, krill issue tbh
Original plasma gun was big shit and jank
Did damage right to your life if you vented
Absolutely
I already said my piece
I think is this
yes it was indeed ass
As bad as the people who turn off bushes in shooters because they can’t handle anything other than a flat empty plain for shooting
Yeah that's been turned off for forever
I mean it's a PvE game
You do what you like ig
It's as good as saying healthbar and dodgecounter is chEatIng gAis
Versus mode coming next year.... what what!!!!!!!
can someone chain the heretic please
Me looking at VT2 after 1 year on it
Yeah.
I have the dodgebar UI, and sometimes it goes negative and confuses me
like am I in dodge debt?
Yea, just like your mortgage
inefficient dodges yeah
gonna start paying FS
Society
2.5% rate, get rekt nerds
always nice when you run out of dodges and you start sliding
not like an acgtual slide
but I mean the character moving on ice 
VT2 had like 3 years
Or 4
Since versus announced
Before we heard another word on it

has been lost in the warp
actually
This is you on no dodges and you keep dodging
smudgels hitting the nail with that choice
for a gif

what cosmetics are on rotation atm
Likе, commodore?
I meant the latest ones, the ones that came in last week
It'll rotate this week
in about 4 days
any good ones
Never liked the fact they basically just slapped the boltor skin for both vet and zel
Imo vet chest is good
they shouldnt rotate out right
But I don't like the pirate hat
Not until January
ye
14th(?)
Nope it'll stay till somewhere in the 20s since it's biweekly
So between January 21-27
thank you
Which weapons would be a definitely avoid as veteran?
any of the recon lasguns
fucking finally we've had the same shit in there for over a month now
less effort means more money!
it gets a new page every 2 weeks, the shop fully cycles every 6
You could make the auto pistol work! I think...
But I think also the IAG's and braced auto guns Beat it
Recon is a no go
the only thing I've seen new in the past 3 weeks is rogue trader stuff man
so you're probably right but damn
Aight so no machine gun like lasgun.
Bolt gun or plasma gun any good?
It should rotate way more often, I shouldn't have to wait a tenth of a year for a full rotation of cosmetics
plasma one of the BiS weapons fro vet atm, bolter is still super good with bodyshot breakpoints except ogryn type enemies but the draw time.
Yeah I tried the bolt gun but the sway and the aim is a put off
boltgun just feels and plays like shit to me but that's definitely preference because I've seen people annihilate with it
revolver/plasma/colomnus autogun are your best bets for BiS weapons atm @hybrid barn
Agrippa mk 7 braced aswell?
Agrippina Brauto is solid too
havent used brautos much but people say they are ok. I dislike having no control over my gun accuracy
But not as far above as the others
thoughts? opinions?
Fucks
I played a heresy round earlier and some dude with a MG like lasgun with burning stack I think it was melted enemies
if only the burns could stack past 10
thats a brick but thats imo
ogryn's burn stacks go to 99
Emprah take my aim
That's a full auto mg1a lasgun
👀 they whot?
Yeah
It's why Blaze away fire is so good
It's why light them up with Achlys fucks
Yeah that one
Wrong one I think
It's not amazing but you get a lot of ammo with shocktrooper
real
Any recommended build for the colomnus?
Check the treads
Aight
dumdum deathspitter and get every weakspot modifier
There's a build in there called colomnus no keystone
imo onslaught is a must have on colomnus. If yo uwant the basic bitch shit just pick VoC as for keystone I go right keystone (just the keystone itself nothing else) and then I pick both +25 toughness nodes on middle and right tree
you get to a comfy 200+ toughness
add VoC on top
and you are chilling
Btw If I extract a blessing of a weapon, do I have that earned blessing available permanently or till I slap it on another gun?
permanently available on all characters that have access to that weapon
no it's permanently permanent
Every character on my account?
Are you sure
Which have the same weapon available?
I've never been able to use the same revolver blessings for zealot and psyker
yes all characters share blessings on same type weapons. So a psyker would have access to all bleed blessins on a knife if you unlock it on the zealot
No I dont think this work
I have DumDum IV on Psyker ]thou
guys please 💀
there is a reason you get 5 chars to farm melk weeklies on and that is to have 5 melk shops to reroll
for blessings
Ehhh how th do I navigate to the threads? I'm on discord mobile so it's now weird with the new "update"
Damn that's pretty neat
just go test it as well but whatever blessing you unlock on a weapon that is shared between characters on a character it will be available on the others
the weapon has to be shared remember that detail
you cant unlock blessings for eviscerators on a psyker but you can unlock blessings for knives
also same type weapons share blessings as well
all infantry autoguns share all blessings for example. If you unlock tier 4 dum dum on a colomnus it will be available on a mk1 autogun as well
just need to be of the same type
Also I wish we could buy resources with ordo
we all wish things but the game doesnt respect our time
thats why we keep bitching till it gets fixed

But it'll just end up being fucked again so it creates the neverending loop
How many times has the veteran skill tree been reworked on?
my advice is find like 3 weapons you enjoy and some builds for them and stick with them for a while. Farm blessings via emperors gifts and the melk shop and eventually you will get to a point where you have everything you need and keep in mind T3 blessings are ok to use
think 3 times so far

trench fighting drill my beloved...
I kinda get the felling that they make the veteran players suffer
nah vet is fine after the most recent changes
i mean it feels like everyone suffers compared to ogryn but im okay with that
godspeed bigman
Voc?
voice of command
And what's bis?
Ah aight
So I could do one for agrippa braced, columnus and the plasma gun
just fuck around for a bit but be mindful that the plasteel grind is never ending
Ik 
Suffer from what?
The damage and Survivability is so brain dead on vet
I'm feeling the pain 
yea I have no solution for that
Literally showed that Vet gets to delete anything witha Grey weapon lmao
Vet is really goooooood
just accept our fate and make sure to loot everything
Like plasma shout with ps6...what suffering is there? It just work
stinky voc users
I will say, early level vet is ball crushing but like it's probably one of the best classes in the game rn
Out of... 4

Exe helbore main atm
Nah not like gameplay I meant that everytime they rework it we gotta put the points there where we had them before
Qp players really just be skipping the collecting part and keep wondering why they are always running low on materials
I just keep them hostage in airlocks and elevators till everything is looted

I'm one of those players who take their time and look I to every corner of the map for resources. Screw the speedsters
I learned real fast to check all the loot spots for everything so we can be quick about it
the ogryn backshot sells this
I think people who put their UI elements in the center are psychopaths
I don't really think Veteran's strong still
yes I am indeed a Psychopath
And for heal Stims and many other useful things
A true veteran experiences
You took Executioner's Stance, Click Ability
Suddenly Ogryn decided to stand in front of u

Oh well, Maybe next time
What's y'all opinion of other players speedrunning?
depends on your definition of speedrunning
Neat, I like to just run fast and do mission fast
Loner knife zealot moment
they get themselves killed, and rage quit, then a normal person joins who isn't a shithead
Like the leeeeroy Jenkins type or the show offs
As long they're competent, I don't really give a fuck about speedrunning
that doesnt narrow it down at all. There is pacing and there is legit just Wing to the end without even looting
or anything else
I want their house to become explosion
Leeroy Jenkin is just "Zealot with a knife" tbh
Veteran is suffering
From sucess
i am a monster
The real reason why he suffering from success
No plasteel?
