Any Perks/Blessing to make further breakpoint?
looks like a fine build overall, i would drop comp urge or rending strikes to get CK, it's important for survivability
what does rending even do xD
other than the ammo, this gun has good rolls with the flak and onslaught built-in, I would change reload to Maniac for important specials and dreg ragers
whats the difference between the two new shovels currently?
it improves the damage of your gun if it deals less than 100% of its base damage to an enemy
:oo
if you view the Stopping Power stat or check the ingame damage table, you can compare
Basically armor penetration for just you.
if your gun only deals 50% damage to an armor type, +10% rending will make you deal 60% damage total instead
Brittleness is basically that but on a teamscale
Yeah
Shredder is the preferred for hordes, Krak is better with armour
Braced autogun go BRRRRRRRRRRT
it's ok to drop one if you have spares, it'll kill whatever's directly on top of it and slightly stagger things around
won't wipe out a horde but if they're tightly packed it'll kill some things
how much smaller is its radius compared for frag?
like 80% smaller
In my experience you can use krak on groups but it has a smaller radius and harder to keep unarmed targets near it until it explodes
it's basically a single target weapon
Yeah
ah fuck
It's an armor killer
anyone?
I don't understand how zealots can play a character that can only look like some medieval court jester dipshit
mk3 has horde clear lights and 1 strikedown heavy
mk7 has combination lights and horde clear heavies
they both have a folding spike, but note the mk3 rips the spike out faster after a heavy attack
I don't know how anyone can think zealots have any drip
any clue of how to get crusher one hits with them?
They have a little but hardly any.
the easiest way is Limbsplitter + Thrust blessing with carapace perk
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9ae83beb-ef3d-4814-beb0-ab6db1080129/vet-12
I gave up superiority complex and +25% ammo for redirect fire + rending
you can do it without Limbsplitter, but it takes a godroll shovel and a talent build specialized for it
what one would you recommend?
i see
i like them both, but mk3 is probably easier to use
because of the faster spike ripping
less dangerous to try spiking something with multiple enemies around
it's not very complex
just swing away and use the heavy overhead when needed
the mk3 spike special combos into a heavy overhead
one of my shovels kills a mauler with that combo without limbsplitter
Uncanny Strike + Decimator/Skullcrusher for general use, or Thrust/Limbsplitter if you wanna try to 1shot big elites
that is a fine weapon
yay
what abt take a swing?
personally don't like it when i tried it
but at least one person here said they liked it
I dont understand why you'd want decimator on a mk3 shovel
hm?
it's just a simple no-thoughts-required blessing
Presumably so it could actually clear
this is why
why not thrust
Not so much using it for clearing, as opposed to using one of your slots to not have your clear be dog
yeah pretty much
would skullcrusher be better?
mk3 Heavy > Light loop isn't very different from mk7 heavy spam
performance-wise they're still both shovels trying to clear a horde 
yeah lmao
should I cop this? The rolls aren't perfect but that perk looks neat
I'd grab it
really good base
wouldn't thrust work just fine then?
15k plasteel later
it doesn't have the widest swings anyways
Hope I don't get fucko'd out of breakpoints
PS damage limits aren’t very wide, so I’d grab that in a heartbeat
Maniac?
Is rampage good on PS?
It's not horrible, but it could be better
Hmm
for the purposes of horde fighting, i'd rather swing at max speed to keep them staggered, not to say that Thrust won't partially help when you keep your heavy held because there's nothing in range yet
Need rank 4 power cycler and Sunder
that's a fine holdover psword
woundn't bm be better than sunder?
Sunder gives more cleave not relying on weakspot hits
ig
i would leave the perks as-is if you want to hold onto this to replace with optimal blessings later
alright
sad that it still got semi-bricked since I can't keep anything besides maniac
so one thing will always be sub-optimal
I wonder if the Rampage 4 bug still exists
heard instead of +36% power it gave like +96% power 
you'll probably feel it if it still does
PC4 is needed because half the time you get robbed of an energized hit so basically you have a perfect PC3 most the time
Huh?
I think at that point I'd rather just get the old shovel you know
but Idk
I havent done through testing
I just know thrust+limb combo one shots big game
actually why were we talking about Thrust as if we couldn't have 2 blessings 
unless we were assuming Uncanny Strike is a mandatory blessing
Thrust + some other anti-horde blessing is a great generalist pair for spike shovels
you just have to settle for Crusher 2-shots which is perfectly fine if it improves your fighting ability against everything else
I have thrust 4 and decimator on my shovel
Decimator is hilarious after a thrust 4 heavy opener on a horde
I also have Slaughter on my power sword along power cycler 4
Gonna see how it goes
Or would bm be better?
BM is currently the undisputed clear king
Due to letting you get first target damage on more targets
Unless they remove that interaction, it's not going to change anytime
which is the better chainsword currently XIIIg or IV?
Personally id choose reload speed over maniac
Melee would be better for it
I was under the impression you needed maniac for breakpoints
On what
Ragers?
i find them equal, but mk13g is pickier about blessings and does not like Rampage without running Wrath to support it
Having a perk just for a single variation of an emeny is a bit of a waste
Reload speed would be a bit more useful imo
I dunno, I saw flak/maniac as recommended. There's not exactly any great resource for breakpoints for every weapon
does revolver 1 headshot flamers without maniac perk and without a crit
Well dang, it's on my Zealot but I'll take it. Thanks Brunt and Hadron 
No
I play enough zealot to be annoyed at 3 hp flamer
Wait nvm misread
Really?
Oh snap it doesn't
Mb
It still does with crit tho and that revolver has surgical
ragers, flamers, mutants, trappers
and maulers
i dont think 25% damage to some of the most dangerous enemies in darktide is bad
Maulers do not have maniac
And mutants take thrice damage from melee so using ammos a waste
usually sure
not always
reload speed has nothing on that breakpoint cracking though
Okay so we're choosing maniac for killing an enemy youd almost never shoot an enemy you can one tap with surgical and dreg ragers over reload speed for a weapon with notoriously bad reload
yes
Okay we will agree to disagree then
Praetorian guard for veteran is what is most needed
breakpoints mean you spend less bullets per enemy - > less reloads necessary - > less time reloading
damage when hitting breakpoints is an indirect buff to reload
also youre saying this like ragers dont end runs
You are getting more ammo efficiency when fighting ragers and thats pretty much it
Never hopefully. Looks like the Brits from 1776 war
a very common fatal enemy
Maniac is also tox flamers and mutants. Worth taking maniac
u dont really kill muties with revolver
If you are choosing maniac because you cant deal with ragers im sorry but theres a massive skissue
at elast i never had to
Surgical instas and melee does triple damage
i much rather have reload speed.
ranged dmg on mutants is not for killing them directly
Choosing maniac over which perk?
reload speed.
And for what weapon?
Reload
revorver
Oh take flak and carapace. Fuck reload speed
its to save teammates who got mutanted while you are too far to melee
also revolver reload being slow is a joke right
its completely fine
plasma and bolter are slow
Its slow enough to warrant reload over maniac
whats the reccomended blessings for kantrael on vet?
Anyone aware if the special attack on chain sword/axe will proc onslaught?
its 2 enemies that are easely dealt with even without carapace dmg
I only run revolver on HS6 zealot, so I like the carapace damage
Carapace isnt horrible
i run revolver on smitepsyker, surgical handcannon does enough against carapace
Id choose weakspot damage personally
shotgun or lasgun
Or unyielding
iirc weakspot, crit dmg elite dmg perks are kinda weirdly done
the maths behind them
reload speed flak
is good
or straight up elite dmg + flak 
Isn’t reload speed only 10%?
10% is good
Yeah flak reload is good
oh is elite dmg perk broken
lol……
^
I thought it was meh because it caps out at 10%
the math behind the special dmg, crit dmg, weakspot dmg are weird
How so
iirc someone said this about 10% extra crit dmg:
150 base dmg, 200 dmg when crit
which means the crit is a 50 dmg buff
so add 10% on that 50.
I know crit and weakspot dmg is only calculated on the extra dmg you get from hitting the weakpoint/crit
not the entire damage basically
Thats fucked
Elite dmg seems to work fine
i think its properlly done elite dmg. cannot testify
Fatshart please fix your game
id 100% run crit dmg +crit chance on my surge voidstrike if it wasnt so stupid
Yea I run flak and crit % on mine
havent felt the need of critchance on a revolver, (altho i do have a 80% crit bonus roll on mine)
surgical seems enuf
haven't ran a revolver ever but I'm sure by the time I get a decent one the nerfbat will already have hit 
not enough
Whats wrong with bolter
Revolver nerf only impacted Cara
tooo slow / clunky
Revolver is still the most common sidearm I've seen so probably not enough lol
Outclassed by plasma
Fair
even for psykers revolver is a solid option
Pulling it out takes ten years
and reloading another 10
most people don't know what to run on it
I use revolver all the time on psyker
I mean revolver is just there for you to kill elite/special
Doesn't stop them from doing it though lol
And you could have a lot better option with other class rn
it shouldnt be soo good all classes use it for every build
Vet? Just run plasma or Autogun
I think it's just the crutch for people bad at dealing with crushers or running weapons that can't deal with crushers
Psyker? Just get a staff
Heavy sword and Dclaw enjoyers malding basically
Duelling sword player be like
revolver is just very good
we love parrying crushers
DS4 annihlates crushers 
My HS6 does jack to crushers, so I take the revolver on it
and i sitll run revolver
HS6 like 200 damage crit weakspot on carapace
but yea, revolver good
Revolver rending nerf make me stop playing revolver on zealot against crusher or just run Heavy Evis over Heavy sword
It’s not that great against crusher stack atm
Too slow to kill
the rending nerf didnt affect much vets tho, they can still one tap them with a good roll
and build
I mean I don’t run Vets revolver so I wouldn’t know
And just pretty rare to see people do Vet revolver
Vrak7 and agri IAG are the only vet weapons I use lol
wait really?
Vet has rending talent so I can see that
prety sure yeah but u need a godroll
80%dmg, 80%pen, 80%critbonus
a lil bit of leeway
but like only 1%
its tight af
Also just get an autogun considering revolver bad reload speed
at oleast according ot psyker chat (aka schizo-land)
Especially for Veteran, as Crit doesn’t refund you bullet anymore
Only for LasGun

it never did
Guess I'm trying out shotgun
Don’t jynx yourself
im sure she will
Even if hadron bricks it at least it's only a lawbringer
Not bad
I think for that one people run scattershot+manstopper for the cleave memes
I wish shotguns were stronger
heck
Lawbringer rn is pretty weak
honestly the perks are fine enough
no u
reads username

Probably misread it somewhere in the older guide
Lawbringer is pretty vanilla, left forgotten after they added new shotguns in classic fatshark balancing
just like the Obscurus force sword lol
i use this on zealot and it 2-3 hits crushers
Crits do refund ammo tho ||Shocktrooper ||
Ill change my name once lawbringer gets the treatment it deserves
I haven't ran it myself yet but scattershot+manstopper+ alt fire does seem like it has some decent synergy for horde clear
whether dumping a limited resource into a horde is a good idea is a different story... but you take what you can get
any shotgun builds for veteran?
It does but its primary fire is really pathetic
Yeah i got one lemme find it
Kantrael + no respite is pretty good
okay and any revolver builds?
flakiac to hit breakpoints on specials
im trying to decide whether i want zealot or veteran
Kantrael also has the nice bonus of being able to ignore bulwark shields with the alt fire flame rounds too
I have a nice mf build I like to use with revolver
Do people still use Helbores? I can't remember the last time I've seen one in a game
Last time I saw one was a bayonyet memer
Krak nade for carapace and fire team. Infiltrate cqk and fte with middle keystone
And tatical reload for atrocious reload speed
i dont know what any of that means
Oops
Ok gimme a sec
skills i need to build into..
For like the gun or your tree
Honestly, you just need a reload skill, and it should be enough
shotgun doesn't really have much interaction with veteran tree tbh
if they've been playing for 2 hours im not sure they need to worry about either atm
Tatical reload helps alot with the bad reload speed just make sure you never run dry
ty
what abt the second blessing?
Would you say it's rather... obscure?
this is for the Agripinaa Shotgun, not just any shotguns
Get out
don't be so grim
Deathspitter, Fire Frenzy, or Full bore are all good
Dont say dark
i do
-infiltrates-
dark, even
scattershot?
it depends on the gun
Not worth, the fire dmg isn't really affected by crit, scattershot would only affect the normal shots
every time im looking at that ortbital load screen, I want a mission set in the outskirts, down among the highway or train lines out amongst all the industrial buildings... I wonder if they could do a mission with 2 squads and double the enemies, bigger open spaces... 😮
Hellbore needs love too. Like not fiddling with the safety 100x a mission
oki
Testing my new power sword, power cycler 4 feels so damn good
Agri is a bolt action revolver
Get sunder with it
Brutal momentum also makes even the normal attacks feel meaty on the head, holy shit
The weapon itself is still kinda unwieldy though, I can't hold a horde with the same ease as my chainsword
it's just the absurd damage it does that gives you the safety
are you running mk6 or mk3
mk6
don't have to worry about being hit if everything in your swing radius is dead when you are out of charge
I probably just need more practice with it
yea, just get used to slide dodging with it so you negate the slowdown when you charge
Psword work different compared to other weapon
I turn off my brain and wait for audio que for other
With sunder you get the cleave without needing to hit weak spots
Psword need to charge up ->Dodge Slide and strike
how is 3?
good but not as good
is agri revolver just... bad?
3 is more braindead to use, 6 has a higher skill floor but better in every way imo
although, I suppose I got too greedy trying to melee gunners in my last match
people like the 6 because it can 2 shot crushers
and that was part of it
isn't agri the old one?
or are we talking the fanfire one
the braced one is agri, isnt it?
charging at 4 spread out gunners like I'm an Ogryn
in what way is it braindead?
Agri new one. Zarona old one
Agri Revolver is good and bad at the same time
Charge > Spam heavies for horde clear, heavies are infinitely horizontal chains. Also the power up doesn't slow you down either
What do you want it to do
The power up is also slightly faster than the mk6, but the mk6 can block cancel the charge animation for more safety
Mk6 can also power up when blocking
Also mk6 has a higher block modifier too
I’d build an Mk3 if I didn’t like my standard issue shovel so much
starting to think theyll nerf the psword before I can get ps4
Poking mutants mid charge is great
tbf, they should
im happy with dclaw, shovel and rashad in general though
They already did before, release power sword mk3 was something else lol
and then they will buff something else to OP status
we are just taking turns
of what being OP
Like the plasma getting 100 cleave
I don’t even know how would they nerf Psword
the no slow down kinda makes me want to use it
It’s good because it’s blessing
or the revolver getting hand canon and a ridiculous damage table
But in Fatsharks world a revolver out damaged a bolter
honestly they should just remove power cycler 4 and bake it into some hard to get talent deep in the vet tree, so anyone can access it without RNG
society 😔
I just wish fatshark would get happy and start releasing some totally new weapons, wild ones... like grenade launchers or meltas or something
Fatshark and powercreep DLC is a tried and true tradition
is 2024 the year of NEW stuff, not just moth eaten shit
melta probably goes to Zealot maybe
probably shared
cause they need an ranged anti-Carapace option
i know they have the weird chastise bolter trick
Release Sister of Thorns was pretty obscene
but that's gimmicky
is the mk3 bad, or is it just not the best?
and of course the javelins until now
the latter
MK3 powersword is good, MK6 is better if you're comfortable with it. Both are probably in top5 vet melees
you can't headpoke crushers, but it's still a powersowrd
i just really don't enjoy the slowdown on the mk6 lol
the problem with mk3 is just that mk6 is straight up better lol
play combat axe, problem solved
i can, but often when blocked by a horde its difficult to do
how do you sprint slide? don't you just sprint and then slide?
The 3 has the downside of needing to heavy attack, which adds more time to actually start meleeing in addition to the charge
block cancel
Sprint slide to hide the slowdown, in a horde you just sort of get used to the slowdown. Powersword already sort of has shitty dodges so it's not really that much of a difference from Mk3
Blocked as in body blocked
You need to dodge backward with the psword, side dodges are shit on it
ig
Being body blocked probably means suspicious positioning
Aren’t power axes a thing? We need one
They are
or a simply lack of VoC 
But yea, Power sword mentality is kill em all, and try not to put yourself in a situation where you can;t kill them all in time
or like fox said, shout things at them lol
That’s why I like shovel more
Everything stays away
And I can poke crushers for stagger
(the zealot is just watching and not helping)
this happens so much
it's a surprising maturity of this community that we still don't have fart revert mod for VoC
I thought that would have been the first thing out when it's announced
i keep having this happen, where people just stand back and don't help with what they are supposed to do
i keep dying bc i think i'm playing zealot too, its very hard to switch after 400hrs lmao
Melee veteran=Zealot 4th class
that's me, if there is a clusterfuck im not joining, people don't know how to control yourself and someone will inevitably stab a barrel, or a poxbuster, or get trapped by a trapper
i just stand way back and wait
huh
maybe throw a moral support nade 
NOT ONE STEP BACK!
cutthroat is the pinnacle, why downgrade?
Yea if I hear a pox burster and I don't trust the team yet I am out of there
I got all excited for Zealot when I figured out how to do 1000 dmg with the Reshaad light attack (thus killing 4 shotgunners per swing) but then I played vet again and was like "oh I can shoot them faster)
bolter can one tap em 
it took me a long time to get into the IAGs but now I dunno if I can go back
Bolter is really bad pls don't
wdym you can literally one tap ragers
I used Agripina IAG back when everyone ran Kantrael 12 as meta lol
Yea I went back to the bolter and honestly I would rather just plasma
i don't blame you, plasma and revolver are really overtuned right now
Bolter enjoyer: oh look a rager I will now commence switching from my melee weapon and bringing out my bolter so I can destroy that vile - oops he's already dead
if you compare between Bolter, Mg series, Vraks series, and the shotguns, suddenly they are all toe to toe
They should make plasma blow people up again, I want to see the fireworks
Bolter just needs slightly less shaking and maybe then I could aim with it.
draw time is bad but people also love to exaggerate
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Bolter legit can have 0 recoil with 2 talents
oh draw time is horrible, though I think its almost the same with the plasma
lemme stick a bayonet on the front end of a bolter
plasma has a pretty good draw time
then proceed to bash the enemy with the brick instead of stabbing 
then you just need a shield and you can be baby ogryn
speaking of
do any IG use shields?
sword and shield vet would kinda rule
lol deadshot so niche
not that niche, precision is how you should play the bolter now though
no more brainless mag dumping
I don’t like my stamina draining in auric damnation when this game spams poxwalkers behind you
vet should have bolt pistol that draws faster anyway
that's just the revolver 
This game could have used a sidearm system like left 4 dead
I dunno what fatshark are doing man... they could really start amping up the grognard 40K excitement and get this thing buzzing
it's literally vacation season man
One ranged, one melee, one sidearm
they pushed out a decent amount of contents already tbh
i wouldn't say it's impossible, but imperial navy breachers have pretty iconic ballistic shields they can mount shotguns on
a tactical shield for vet and a crusader shield for zealot would be pretty sick
I remember when the holidays hit last year. people were so angry
Classic fatshark release, I personally didn't have the server issues that a lot of people had in VT2 when it launched
but some of the broken/meme shit on release was immensely entertaining
Enforcers use shields too
tbh they probably knew it wasn't finished but they ran out of cash
so they released it as mvp
to get cash and keep going
they know how to release fun maps. the carnival maps are cool. they just gotta lift the excitement on the weapons now
I pray for a day when the ogryn can use the grenadier gauntlet with the slab shield
meth lab is my fav map now
run it everytime i get a chance
the pumping pacing of it is great
better than math lab
allegedly they don't
Its obvious they dont
it's kinda weird, right? the thought of a dev who works on the game coming home and playing it
but a lot do
Blizzard def doesn’t play Diablow 4
wont name names but a playtester said that they have limited knowledge of the "meta" and balance in the game
I mean, if I had to fix the code issues with darktide
I wouldnt want to come home to play more darktide
which is why they take playtesters suggestions almost wholesale

again, this is all alleged
Wait
what would be a good replacement for limbsplitter?
haha meme aside they have a volunteer team
Why don’t they have trackers that tabulates what everyone is playing?
I have this funny image of a player who's so fed up with the game applying to be a dev for it. then he fixes the issues that annoy him the most and quits
Weapons that get played too much get nerfed. Not enough get buffed.
I thought veteran chat being the loudest of them all had at least some influence
they probably do but numbers can be hard to analyze, and usually you can draw correlation but not causation
They nerfed chainsword into a bad place cause they nerfed powersword
Think veteran is also the most played class apparently?
Nerf revolver too
Revolver was pretty strong to be fair
well yeah, this is CoD right?
what if the Bolter in their data sheet is overperforming? is it because the gun is so strong or because it's so unwieldy that most people drop it, except for a few players who got good with it?
It fires what? A 7.62 sized round and it can one hit crusers
While the machine gun that shoots the same sized round cant?
It was strange
it shoots through the eyehole
you see
If you pull the trigger just right, then it's a critical hit and the bullet is blessed by Big E himself
Blessed boolet
if not its just another normal shot

exactly
Chuck E Cheese more like
faith guided the bullet
TBH thats probably a lore friendly way to explain crits
better than bolter's alleged "smart" round
some techpriest blessed every 5th bullet in my mag
I still dont understand about Hellbore
Lasguns be like “oops more power”
HellBore Mk 2 is like
Suspicious weapons maintenance, thanks mommy hadron
Shit Ironsight
Incense is expensive
The irons on it are genuinely the fucking worst sights ive seen on a gun in game
F2000 from MW2 had better irons
New update, weapon customization, but you'll need to buy em with Aquillas

That particular mod is now banned
Why was it banned btw
Oh mb it's not actually
You can still get weapon customization
China just banned the use of “dailies” in video games. Will this affect this game?
It was bricked due to updates but fixed now
Not the version you can access anyway
No cause its not a chinese game

Tencent tho
Its owned by chicoms
Doesn't matter
But it doesnt have to follow their archaic laws
Your "Game" doesn't get affected because you're not in China
They have their own version of steam
Im sure fatshark can get around it
Intronet remember?
I don't think it matters. It's not like you can buy Chinese stocks as an American, and suddenly that Chinese company has to follow American laws
No
Shame, not using it then
Get a stamina curio
Get 3x3stam curios
No I like my toughness
HP and toughness are for noobs, just don’t get hit
Deadshot is great for laspistol
Any Upgrade toward this gun
Why thou, I see the Damage and Stopping Power Profile is okay
Eeeeee not that bad imo
Ammo is kinda always my dump stats
It is, but I feel like the ammo stat on a Mk II Helbore is the dump stat of all dump stats
charge rate from seeing the difference between lower and higher stuff seems too small of a difference
so i would perfer maxing out ammo instead
Surgical for sure
funny thing you can do is get surgical then put shock trooper talent point
basically unlimited ammo lmao
because so long as you wait for surgical to max out
its always a crit hit meaning no ammo cunsumed
it works the best with helbore since you can charge the attack to get more damage out of it when aiming
untop of them always being a crit hit if you wait for surgical to be at max
honestly i still don't know why you want onslaught on helbore
it seems counter synergistic
also do you really shoot that fast to make use of the talent?
Strap 4 helbores together and make a hellgun
Also I have decided, the kantrael laspistol is terrible compared to the accutran
Onslaught and surgical are great on helbore. Faster charge when you need it and more guaranteed crits as you start. The charge rates of helbores still make use of surgical with onslaught. Mk2 you can make the case to not need it.
Least important stat on helbore. You have shocktrooper, surgical and survivalist? You can have to actively try to get below 60% ammo
Good helbore. 2 isn't my favorite. The reload speed could probably become unarmored (for drege gunners, see if how it does in the psyk), maniac or carapace. Some will like surgical. You can put infernus for funny fire. Can see how sustained fire is treating you.
I feel like when I use it, why am I not just using a 1a?
The laspistol in general? Or just the kantrael
I find the accutran is laser accurate
The Kan. I like the accu. Faster pew pew
There is only mk8bag. Everything else is subpar.
The kan's recoil and relative accuracy is horrendous
slap surgical on it, on a hellbore its a large damage buff and i have the new problem of spam shooting rounds to refill nades off ammo crates lately
Im trying out HellBore Mk 2 but I feel it's not that great
Also Spamming Hellbore Uncharged to topup Marksman
Also TTK against Crusher fuckin suck with HellBore
What the fuck were y'all doing
Also
Only Scrab Melee
What kind of fuckery happened for 4 people to go 700k+ damage
Everything is Crusher
Nvm makes sense

Ogryn too tough
Mk2 hellbore to me is one of the best guns in game for clearing gunners/shooters from range. With 25% maniacs you can also reliably 1-2shot every special outside of maulers/chargers with headshots.
tbf though im also playing with a damn near perfect hellbore
oh. And
Bayonet charging is suprisingly good, it stunlocks ragers and kills trash mobs with ease
Hi! Could you help me pls, which is the best/strongest melee weapon for a veteran if I almost only using light attacks?
For higher difficulty
Yea that's what Im using to kill stuff rn
The ironsight just garbage
Use the extended weapon customization mod, let's you slap sights from other guns including the lasgun
Ps6, combat axe
Thank you! Sorry, but what is a Ps6?
I use it on everything. I can headshot mobs across the map with a vrak
Power Sword MkVI
I'm not sure how new you are to the game but both are quite expensive to get going.
Yes sir, sometimes the sights don't like up correctly if you do some crazy part swaps but they work on most guns if you just change the sights
If you want cheap, might need to go with chainsword, shovel, or devil claw
Thank you! I play for a few days, but I reached lvl 30 and I want to gear up for the higher difficulties
Combad Axe needs Brutal Momentum as blessing
Powersword needs Power Cycler 4
Rashad combat axe is real good for that, if it has brutal momentum
Don't get PowerSword
It's grindy if you don't have Pcycler
Remember
I spent 32k Plasteel for 20 Psword
Even without pcycler it’s still a great choice, imo
Shovel man myself hehe
I don't like the look of swords at all :/ So, I guess I'll choose the axe. I like shovels and combat knives the best, but for some reason they have awfully low light attack damage. 😦
shovel you just spam heavy no?
chainsword can spam light and horde clear well enough
rip
honestly lights with an occasional shove works well too on shovels, just not as well
if you want cheap, go chainsword while looking for more materials
honestly devil claw Mk4 works for light spam too
it's just that light heavy alternate is generally better
PS is great, its make mostly random mad, because you dont give them kills xD
rashad combat axe
you literally just light spam
except for certain enemies
but dont worry about that yet
heavy spam for unyielding and carapace, light spam for the rest

Ragers are basically the only thing you don’t just spam light / heavy for
You can still spam as long as some other unlucky fuck is tanking the combo 
Take the dclaw out once in a while to release some steam 
Parrying ragers is fun until you run out of stamina, or there’s two or more of them
just dodge
hsword zealot v single shooter
Me on my way to introduce new cursed location for buff
Deathspitter or Fire Frenzy for IAG?
Ehh yeeaghh
I mean, the attacks they do don't delete that much stam do they?
Except the final hit in combo
Not reaaalllyy, but you can’t really parry fast enough when there’s multiple and you don’t get a chance to regen stamina until they’re dead
Reject parry. Embrace bayonet
Not I, lights attacks seem to be pretty darn effective I hardly ever have to heavy attack
If you drag your mouse, the heavies are quite good
interesting find in brunts
heavies would be good for setting up skullcrusher procs
it's not too bad, i routinely just parry spam against ragers using dclaw
and it works perfectly fine
the thing is, when there's a bunch of them
every parry is a perfect parry

if a player has been banned from game does it show uve been banned? legit asking foir a friend
If you’ve been banned I assume you’d know 
I don’t think they have like, empty lobbies for banned
does any know a good melee weapon?
yes
which one would that be
how much dockets and plasteel do u have
the easy answer is power sword but that is a grind
i'd prob go with a shovel or chainsword
hadron please
Go for it lol
didn't know the powersword that on it
Brutal Momentum?
Does the vraks mk7 have any pierce? Or is it just single target
i got a shovel i am working on but idk what mod to put on it to make it better
decimator is the go-to shovel blessing
That or Uncanny Strike, if it's the old Sapper Shovel
The new foldable ones benefit from Thrust, especially the anti-elite special
ah i got the vii sapper shovel
One of the new foldable ones then, gotcha.
Thrust and then either your choice of Decimator or Skullcrusher
Thrust because you can get more Damage if you charge up your Heavy the whole way, Decimator or Skullcrusher for extra damage
i'd like to get a op shovel but the shot resets in 4 days
other then that idk how to earn better weapons
dockets shop resets every hour. melk bucks shop resets once a day
as for the foldable shovels I prefer decimator/uncanny over thrust
just repeatedly buy stuff from brunt if there isn't anything good in the hourly shop
or melk
save yourself from carpal tunnel if you do decide to go rolling for weapons
Godsend, but make sure to let the game finishes the transaction animation or you risk crashing the game 
Hm, I dunno not thrilled about thrust on shovel
Like, Decimator + Uncanny -shore up your weakness vs carapace
Or decimator skull splitterr
(For horde?)
(Oh unless you're talking about the foldable shovel) 
The Mk 7 in particular, yeah, which was what MisterRadio had
For the old Sapper Shovel, I'd pick Uncanny Strike and Skullcrusher
That's reasonable
I'm certainly more of a decimator uncanny mahself,
I defiently gotta try to find a skull crusher
The only reason I moved away from Decimator is realizing you lose all your stacks built up thus far the moment you miss a single swing
So at least, with Skullcrusher, you apply the full extra damage as long as the target is staggered. In theory
And they'll always be stagger cause funny shovel 
Ye
It give great breakpoint if you headshot with charge
but half the time you be having problem hitting head with charge
Do anyone know the crit chances for HellBore Mk 2?
Not off the top of my head, sadly, and I shore it up with Surgical for that reason.
Could also use Deadshot
Veteran still have a base Crit chances of 5% or it was removed?
it was 10% previously and now it's 5%
I always end up with at least one ammo regen vet on my team, trying to get the "Make Every Shot Count" penance xD
Me bodies missin
Your head and legs are missing, your body's there.
Why? That's a pretty decent roll.
That's not the same stats, it's just the same damage stat.
Ya. All in jest, I'm partial to mk1
I like mk3 just hate how slow it is to charge shots, mk2 is that nice middleground while still retainin okay dmgh
I really want to like mk3 but the bayonet sucks so so bad
Like I'll just use revolver if I want to one shot things then
Mk2, middle ground...? 
Or Vraks 7 if I want more ammo
Between Mk1 and 3? yeah
No, MkII, then MkI, then MkIII
Isn't Mk1 the higher firerate?
No
Ya mk2 is lowest charged damage but highest uncharged
We can't have things make sense here.
Ya after the Vraks III having a 3 round burst nothing else makes sense
Makes sense to me. Mk1 is the base. Mk2 faster. Mk3 harder
You can rationalize anything, doesn't make it actually rational 😛
Mk3 is like
Ahhhh
It just
Its clunky
But it is rational?
Man people complain, about how you have to stand still when you use marksmens focus
Nobody complains about how you have to invest into your 401k and wait for a return to finish firing a single shot
Everytime I play something else, my teammates can't kill shit. But the moment I use Helbore, they immediately become ex CSGO pros sniping left and right, dropping targets before I can finish charging.
Well I mean, mk2 is the fastest firing one eh?
It is
I mean
Is it rational.... what does that mean

Use the MG12
In theory it would be like
Mk2 Mk1 mk3, I think someone already said that
Its the 2nd variation made after the baseline mk1 because someone wanted it to fire faster
Ultimate head clicking gun
Mk1 is the true middle ground
Well okay
When you put that logic yeah
I do
If there exists two natural numbers a and b such that c=a/b then c is rarional 
Like...what is hard to understand that the middle of road mk1 was the 1st variation and the others followed
My 12 has better rolls
Like that's how some gun lines are named
Ultimate head clicker
Sup
I'm New
I was wondering is sniper builds were good in the meta
Me when math
Grenade
You gonna have to define whatcha mean by sniper
Cos most engagements this game are 20m or less
Left side of the ability tree, and semi-auto rifle for extra thicc long range
Oh Vraks 7
Its viable
Vraks 7 is probably the gun that gets the most out of the left side
Dafuk is vraks 7 ?
Vraks 7 Headhunter autogun
The semi auto headhunter
Dmr
Vraks 7 headhunter
Oh okok
Fewer*
I'm fairly sure meters are countable 🤓
Its the head tap gun
Is that the burst-fire one?
The one where u can charge shots ?
One thing about the Vraks 7 though, it is HEAVILY reliant on crit headshots
The hellbore?
No thats the helbore lasgun
No vraks 7
A bodyshot with my V7 against a maniac rager does 250 damage. A crit headshot deals 2k+
For reference
What I'm gonna say is, take marksmens focus, take the toughness regain
Take camouflage
The one with the 5 rounds in a cylinder right?
Seems like any rifle with a baïonnette on it is a sniper rifle
Yes but it's a lot harder to pull off. You need both good aim, good melee, good positioning, and good game knowledge to survive.
No the one with 56
Im throwing you out the window
But that's the colmunhs
:y
Demons
It has been defenestrated
What?
It was demons.
Ok now stop using your phone in the shower :P
I'm doomed
Shoving a towel up there doesn't make you Ahri from League 
squint
Friendly reminder
AT what lv do u unlock the vraks 7 ?
Hm.
Try me
Helbore lasgun btw actually doesnt do that well with left keystone
Mostly cos it doesnt benefit from it as much
A 1 shot is a 1 shot regardless of how much extra overkill damage you want 
I mean, friend has some kind of anthro pfp. A towel is a little low brow.
Where's the suit
What's the best way of getting the most optimized gun ? Brunt ?
Brunt ye
Dockets -> Stats, then upgrade with Hadron
Enjoy the gacha
Make sure you are lvl 30 before you start the crafting though
I'm so fucking mad that I called it.
Dockets ?
Thats the gold coins
The video game money
Oh okok
docket curio perk meta
Time to play cost-effective classes (whatever the fuck that means) only.
Thanks for the tips :)
Ah so Columnus IAG vet w/ Mk 3 shovel
Imma go increase my skilz now
Xbox or PC @snow thistle
Haven't used it yet but columnus guns are mean.
Shit
😎
Xbox gets autogun buffs
Its also that IAGs dont really have any great blessings and perks arent needed for breakpoints
Aw :(
so its not hard to get a good one
Literally ur just fishing for a decent grey
Theres also like 2 dump stats and 1 stat that can be semi dumped
So you only need 2 great stats
And even then you dont need to fish for 75+ on both cos no breakpoints
What auto gun buffs?
Rip hadron
Bullet magnetism
Inferus doe
Too bad about the Infernus, other than that it's pretty decent.

Its lacking onslaught but on a mk 2 its not that necessary
Ive snagged some sniper kills or gunner kills because of it
Its nice to have
Its not as bad as Id thought
I thought that was only console players
Xbox launcher
Imagine not 1 shotting gunners :3
I mean, yeah, but shooting twice vs shooting once and letting them burn for six seconds is a major difference in a fire fight xD
