Ahh

strange sparrow
#

Hmm

woven geode
#

this is my build

#

any thoughts?

#

wish i had 1 more skill point for confirmed kill

strange sparrow
sharp ember
woven geode
#

what does rending even do xD

sharp ember
# strange sparrow

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

dusty sluice
#

whats the difference between the two new shovels currently?

sharp ember
woven geode
#

:oo

sharp ember
#

if you view the Stopping Power stat or check the ingame damage table, you can compare

raven crane
#

Basically armor penetration for just you.

sharp ember
#

if your gun only deals 50% damage to an armor type, +10% rending will make you deal 60% damage total instead

crude ermine
#

Brittleness is basically that but on a teamscale

raven crane
#

Yeah

woven geode
#

is krak grenade good enough for horde clear

#

if i have a ton of them

#

xD

crude ermine
#

Shredder is the preferred for hordes, Krak is better with armour

raven crane
#

Braced autogun go BRRRRRRRRRRT

woven geode
#

i save a skill point by using krak

#

which gives me CK

sharp ember
#

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

woven geode
#

how much smaller is its radius compared for frag?

sharp ember
#

like 80% smaller

raven crane
#

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

sharp ember
#

it's basically a single target weapon

raven crane
#

Yeah

woven geode
#

ah fuck

raven crane
#

It's an armor killer

thick rose
#

I don't understand how zealots can play a character that can only look like some medieval court jester dipshit

sharp ember
raven crane

raven crane

sharp ember
#

you can do it without Limbsplitter, but it takes a godroll shovel and a talent build specialized for it

dusty sluice
sharp ember
#

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

dusty sluice
#

ah oki

#

whats the combos for it?

sharp ember
#

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

dusty sluice
#

oh nice

#

would this work?

sharp ember
#

Uncanny Strike + Decimator/Skullcrusher for general use, or Thrust/Limbsplitter if you wanna try to 1shot big elites

sharp ember
dusty sluice
sharp ember
#

personally don't like it when i tried it

#

but at least one person here said they liked it

frank ether
#

I dont understand why you'd want decimator on a mk3 shovel

dusty sluice
#

hm?

sharp ember
#

it's just a simple no-thoughts-required blessing

junior needle
#

Presumably so it could actually clear

dusty sluice
frank ether
#

why not thrust

junior needle
#

Aren't the heavies for the mk3 strikedowns

#

Or is that just the doink

sharp ember
#

mark doesn't matter for Thrust usage

#

since you're gonna use the spike

frank ether
#

Idk if you're using mk3 for cleave

#

I think its just the wrong choice

junior needle
#

Not so much using it for clearing, as opposed to using one of your slots to not have your clear be dog

sharp ember
#

yeah pretty much

sharp ember
#

mk3 Heavy > Light loop isn't very different from mk7 heavy spam

#

performance-wise they're still both shovels trying to clear a horde KEKW_ogryn

dusty sluice
#

yeah lmao

sharp ember
#

either skullcrusher or decimator is fine

#

whatever you can get your hands on

cedar pecan
#

should I cop this? The rolls aren't perfect but that perk looks neat

crude ermine
#

I'd grab it

sharp ember
#

really good base

frank ether
junior needle
#

15k plasteel later

frank ether
#

it doesn't have the widest swings anyways

junior needle
#

Hope I don't get fucko'd out of breakpoints

rain badger
cedar pecan
#

Yea already grabbed it

#

let's see what Hadron does with it

shadow aurora
cedar pecan
#

Is rampage good on PS?

crude ermine
#

It's not horrible, but it could be better

cedar pecan
#

Got it on tier 4 just now

#

this is the final result

crude ermine
#

Hmm

sharp ember
strange grove
sharp ember
#

that's a fine holdover psword

dusty sluice
strange grove
#

Sunder gives more cleave not relying on weakspot hits

dusty sluice
#

ig

sharp ember
#

i would leave the perks as-is if you want to hold onto this to replace with optimal blessings later

cedar pecan
#

alright

#

sad that it still got semi-bricked since I can't keep anything besides maniac

#

so one thing will always be sub-optimal

sharp ember
#

I wonder if the Rampage 4 bug still exists

#

heard instead of +36% power it gave like +96% power KEKW_ogryn

#

you'll probably feel it if it still does

vernal harbor
#

PC4 is needed because half the time you get robbed of an energized hit so basically you have a perfect PC3 most the time

radiant linden
#

PC4 and BM works wonders

#

you barely get robbed on the last hit with it

junior needle
frank ether
#

but Idk

#

I havent done through testing

#

I just know thrust+limb combo one shots big game

sharp ember
#

actually why were we talking about Thrust as if we couldn't have 2 blessings hmmgryn

#

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

midnight totem
#

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?

junior needle
#

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

signal pier
#

which is the better chainsword currently XIIIg or IV?

shadow aurora
#

Melee would be better for it

celest vine
#

You should be able to

#

Dreg gunners have more HP

junior needle
shadow aurora
#

Ragers?

sharp ember
shadow aurora
#

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

junior needle
#

I dunno, I saw flak/maniac as recommended. There's not exactly any great resource for breakpoints for every weapon

sharp ember
#

does revolver 1 headshot flamers without maniac perk and without a crit

shadow aurora
#

I believe so

#

Not like flamers are very tanky

#

Ill check in grinder rq

jade notch
#

Well dang, it's on my Zealot but I'll take it. Thanks Brunt and Hadron pogryn

strange sparrow
#

I play enough zealot to be annoyed at 3 hp flamer

shadow aurora
#

Wait nvm misread

#

Really?

#

Oh snap it doesn't

#

Mb

#

It still does with crit tho and that revolver has surgical

zealous wyvern
#

and maulers

limber egret
#

this for veteran when

zealous wyvern
#

i dont think 25% damage to some of the most dangerous enemies in darktide is bad

shadow aurora
#

Maulers do not have maniac

zealous wyvern
#

ah

#

still

shadow aurora
#

And mutants take thrice damage from melee so using ammos a waste

zealous wyvern
#

usually sure

#

not always

#

reload speed has nothing on that breakpoint cracking though

shadow aurora
#

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

zealous wyvern
#

yes

shadow aurora
#

Okay we will agree to disagree then

granite dove
#

Praetorian guard for veteran is what is most needed

zealous wyvern
#

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

shadow aurora
#

You are getting more ammo efficiency when fighting ragers and thats pretty much it

zealous wyvern
#

no

#

you are getting lifesaving seconds and ammo efficiency when fighting ragers

shadow aurora
#

Dude you can one tap flamers with surgical lmao

#

Ragers come in flak too

strange grove
zealous wyvern
#

and i am speaking about ragers right now

#

not flamers

shadow aurora
#

It is a single enemy my guy

#

Flak or reload would be better

zealous wyvern
#

a very common fatal enemy

crisp rapids
#

flak elite dmg 🙏

#

XD sitll wont oneshot

#

but reload speed good

strange grove
#

Maniac is also tox flamers and mutants. Worth taking maniac

crisp rapids
#

u dont really kill muties with revolver

shadow aurora
#

If you are choosing maniac because you cant deal with ragers im sorry but theres a massive skissue

crisp rapids
#

at elast i never had to

shadow aurora
crisp rapids
#

i much rather have reload speed.

zealous wyvern
#

ranged dmg on mutants is not for killing them directly

strange grove
crisp rapids
#

reload speed.

strange grove
#

And for what weapon?

shadow aurora
#

Reload

crisp rapids
#

revorver

shadow aurora
#

Revolver

#

Not cowboy revolver

#

Just reg

strange grove
#

Oh take flak and carapace. Fuck reload speed

zealous wyvern
#

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

shadow aurora
#

Its slow enough to warrant reload over maniac

crisp rapids
#

skill issue taking carapace

#

u really dont need it

dusty sluice
#

whats the reccomended blessings for kantrael on vet?

patent swift
#

Anyone aware if the special attack on chain sword/axe will proc onslaught?

crisp rapids
#

its 2 enemies that are easely dealt with even without carapace dmg

strange grove
shadow aurora
#

Carapace isnt horrible

crisp rapids
#

i run revolver on smitepsyker, surgical handcannon does enough against carapace

shadow aurora
#

Id choose weakspot damage personally

zealous wyvern
shadow aurora
#

Or unyielding

crisp rapids
#

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 XD

strange grove
#

Isn’t reload speed only 10%?

crisp rapids
#

10% is good

shadow aurora
#

Yeah flak reload is good

low lava
#

oh is elite dmg perk broken

strange grove
#

lol……

shadow aurora
low lava
#

I thought it was meh because it caps out at 10%

dusty sluice
#

mb

crisp rapids
#

the math behind the special dmg, crit dmg, weakspot dmg are weird

shadow aurora
#

How so

crisp rapids
#

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.

low lava
#

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

crisp rapids
#

so 10% crit dmg -> 205 XD

#

elite dmg i am not soo sure

shadow aurora
#

Thats fucked

low lava
#

Elite dmg seems to work fine

crisp rapids
#

i think its properlly done elite dmg. cannot testify

shadow aurora
#

Fatshart please fix your game

crisp rapids
#

id 100% run crit dmg +crit chance on my surge voidstrike if it wasnt so stupid

strange grove
crisp rapids
#

havent felt the need of critchance on a revolver, (altho i do have a 80% crit bonus roll on mine)

#

surgical seems enuf

low lava
#

haven't ran a revolver ever but I'm sure by the time I get a decent one the nerfbat will already have hit KEKW_ogryn

shadow aurora
#

Revolver already got nerfed

#

Didnt it?

strange grove
#

Hopefully recon and bolter gets love

#

They nerfed carapace damage

crisp rapids
shadow aurora
#

Whats wrong with bolter

strange sparrow
crisp rapids
#

tooo slow / clunky

low lava
#

Revolver is still the most common sidearm I've seen so probably not enough lol

strange grove
shadow aurora
#

Fair

crisp rapids
#

even for psykers revolver is a solid option

strange grove
#

Pulling it out takes ten years

crisp rapids
#

and reloading another 10

dusty sluice
shadow aurora
#

I use revolver all the time on psyker

strange sparrow
#

I mean revolver is just there for you to kill elite/special

low lava
#

Doesn't stop them from doing it though lol

strange sparrow
#

And you could have a lot better option with other class rn

crisp rapids
#

it shouldnt be soo good all classes use it for every build

strange sparrow
#

Vet? Just run plasma or Autogun

low lava
#

I think it's just the crutch for people bad at dealing with crushers or running weapons that can't deal with crushers

strange sparrow
#

Psyker? Just get a staff

low lava
#

Heavy sword and Dclaw enjoyers malding basically

strange sparrow
#

Duelling sword player be like

crisp rapids
#

revolver is just very good

strange sparrow
#

As if I scare of anything

sharp ember
#

we love parrying crushers

crisp rapids
#

DS4 annihlates crushers XD

strange grove
crisp rapids
#

and i sitll run revolver

strange grove
#

HS6 like 200 damage crit weakspot on carapace

low lava
#

but yea, revolver good

strange grove
#

But 1200 to maniac

#

Makes sense lol

strange sparrow
#

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

crisp rapids
#

the rending nerf didnt affect much vets tho, they can still one tap them with a good roll

#

and build

strange sparrow
#

I mean I don’t run Vets revolver so I wouldn’t know

#

And just pretty rare to see people do Vet revolver

strange grove
#

Vrak7 and agri IAG are the only vet weapons I use lol

low lava
#

Vet has rending talent so I can see that

crisp rapids
#

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

strange sparrow
#

Also just get an autogun considering revolver bad reload speed

crisp rapids
#

at oleast according ot psyker chat (aka schizo-land)

strange sparrow
#

Especially for Veteran, as Crit doesn’t refund you bullet anymore

#

Only for LasGun

strange grove
#

Any1 know if new shovels can baseball the poxbursters?

#

Or only old?

serene orbit
#

Guess I'm trying out shotgun

crisp rapids
#

hopoefully hadron doesnt brick it

strange grove
serene orbit
low lava
#

Even if hadron bricks it at least it's only a lawbringer

serene orbit
#

Not bad

low lava
#

I think for that one people run scattershot+manstopper for the cleave memes

shadow aurora
#

I wish shotguns were stronger

shadow aurora
#

Lawbringer rn is pretty weak

low lava
#

honestly the perks are fine enough

serene orbit
strange sparrow
low lava
#

Lawbringer is pretty vanilla, left forgotten after they added new shotguns in classic fatshark balancing

#

just like the Obscurus force sword lol

dusty sluice
strange grove
#

Crits do refund ammo tho ||Shocktrooper ||

shadow aurora
#

Ill change my name once lawbringer gets the treatment it deserves

low lava
#

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

next relic
#

any shotgun builds for veteran?

shadow aurora
#

It does but its primary fire is really pathetic

shadow aurora
low lava
#

Kantrael + no respite is pretty good

next relic
#

okay and any revolver builds?

low lava
#

flakiac to hit breakpoints on specials

next relic
#

im trying to decide whether i want zealot or veteran

low lava
#

Kantrael also has the nice bonus of being able to ignore bulwark shields with the alt fire flame rounds too

crisp rapids
#

flak reload speed does fine

#

on revlver

crude ermine
serene orbit
#

Do people still use Helbores? I can't remember the last time I've seen one in a game

low lava
#

Last time I saw one was a bayonyet memer

shadow aurora
#

And tatical reload for atrocious reload speed

next relic
#

i dont know what any of that means

shadow aurora
#

Oops

next relic
#

i've been playing for 2 hours

#

i meant skills

shadow aurora
#

Ok gimme a sec

next relic
#

skills i need to build into..

shadow aurora
#

For like the gun or your tree

low lava
#

Honestly, you just need a reload skill, and it should be enough

#

shotgun doesn't really have much interaction with veteran tree tbh

serene orbit
#

if they've been playing for 2 hours im not sure they need to worry about either atm

shadow aurora
#

Tatical reload helps alot with the bad reload speed just make sure you never run dry

#

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... 😮

strange grove
#

Hellbore needs love too. Like not fiddling with the safety 100x a mission

serene sage
#

agri don't want scatter

#

agri is really a bolter with extra steps

midnight totem
#

Testing my new power sword, power cycler 4 feels so damn good

low lava
#

Agri is a bolt action revolver

strange grove
midnight totem
#

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

serene sage
#

it's just the absurd damage it does that gives you the safety

low lava
#

are you running mk6 or mk3

midnight totem
#

mk6

serene sage
#

don't have to worry about being hit if everything in your swing radius is dead when you are out of charge

midnight totem
#

I probably just need more practice with it

low lava
#

yea, just get used to slide dodging with it so you negate the slowdown when you charge

strange sparrow
#

Psword work different compared to other weapon

#

I turn off my brain and wait for audio que for other

strange grove
#

With sunder you get the cleave without needing to hit weak spots

strange sparrow
#

Psword need to charge up ->Dodge Slide and strike

dusty sluice
serene sage
#

good but not as good

thick rose
#

is agri revolver just... bad?

low lava
#

3 is more braindead to use, 6 has a higher skill floor but better in every way imo

midnight totem
#

although, I suppose I got too greedy trying to melee gunners in my last match

serene sage
#

people like the 6 because it can 2 shot crushers

midnight totem
#

and that was part of it

serene sage
#

or are we talking the fanfire one

thick rose
#

the braced one is agri, isnt it?

midnight totem
#

charging at 4 spread out gunners like I'm an Ogryn

dusty sluice
strange grove
serene sage
#

i stand corrected

strange sparrow
low lava
#

Charge > Spam heavies for horde clear, heavies are infinitely horizontal chains. Also the power up doesn't slow you down either

strange sparrow
#

What do you want it to do

low lava
#

The power up is also slightly faster than the mk6, but the mk6 can block cancel the charge animation for more safety

serene sage
#

replace the awful crosshair with a mod

#

and maybe it's better?

strange grove
low lava
#

Also mk6 has a higher block modifier too

strange grove
#

I’d build an Mk3 if I didn’t like my standard issue shovel so much

thick rose
#

starting to think theyll nerf the psword before I can get ps4

strange grove
#

Poking mutants mid charge is great

serene sage
thick rose
#

im happy with dclaw, shovel and rashad in general though

low lava
#

They already did before, release power sword mk3 was something else lol

serene sage
#

and then they will buff something else to OP status

#

we are just taking turns

#

of what being OP

strange grove
#

Like the plasma getting 100 cleave

strange sparrow
#

I don’t even know how would they nerf Psword

dusty sluice
strange sparrow
#

It’s good because it’s blessing

serene sage
#

or the revolver getting hand canon and a ridiculous damage table

strange grove
#

But in Fatsharks world a revolver out damaged a bolter

low lava
#

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

serene sage
thick rose
#

I just wish fatshark would get happy and start releasing some totally new weapons, wild ones... like grenade launchers or meltas or something

low lava
#

Fatshark and powercreep DLC is a tried and true tradition

thick rose
#

is 2024 the year of NEW stuff, not just moth eaten shit

serene sage
#

probably shared

#

cause they need an ranged anti-Carapace option

#

i know they have the weird chastise bolter trick

low lava
#

Release Sister of Thorns was pretty obscene

serene sage
#

but that's gimmicky

dusty sluice
#

is the mk3 bad, or is it just not the best?

low lava
#

and of course the javelins until now

serene sage
low lava
#

MK3 powersword is good, MK6 is better if you're comfortable with it. Both are probably in top5 vet melees

serene sage
#

you can't headpoke crushers, but it's still a powersowrd

dusty sluice
hollow ibex
serene sage
#

play combat axe, problem solved

low lava
#

Just learn how to sprint slide

#

It's applicable to all power weapons, not just mk6

dusty sluice
serene sage
#

how do you sprint slide? don't you just sprint and then slide?

junior needle
#

The 3 has the downside of needing to heavy attack, which adds more time to actually start meleeing in addition to the charge

low lava
#

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

junior needle
#

Blocked as in body blocked

#

You need to dodge backward with the psword, side dodges are shit on it

low lava
#

Being body blocked probably means suspicious positioning

strange grove
#

Aren’t power axes a thing? We need one

junior needle
#

They are

serene sage
low lava
#

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

strange grove
#

That’s why I like shovel more

#

Everything stays away

#

And I can poke crushers for stagger

dusty sluice
#

this happens so much

serene sage
#

it's a surprising maturity of this community that we still don't have fart revert mod for VoC

low lava
#

Nah, the zealot probably popped stealth

#

and now you have to deal with his mess KEKW_ogryn

serene sage
#

I thought that would have been the first thing out when it's announced

dusty sluice
#

i keep dying bc i think i'm playing zealot too, its very hard to switch after 400hrs lmao

low lava

Melee veteran=Zealot 4th class

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

gusty grail
#

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)

serene sage
#

bolter can one tap em thumbsup_ogryn

thick rose
#

it took me a long time to get into the IAGs but now I dunno if I can go back

gusty grail
#

Bolter is really bad pls don't

serene sage
#

wdym you can literally one tap ragers

low lava
#

I used Agripina IAG back when everyone ran Kantrael 12 as meta lol

white vault
#

Yea I went back to the bolter and honestly I would rather just plasma

low lava
#

or bolter

#

IAGs always old reliable

serene sage
gusty grail
#

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

serene sage
#

if you compare between Bolter, Mg series, Vraks series, and the shotguns, suddenly they are all toe to toe

low lava
#

They should make plasma blow people up again, I want to see the fireworks

white vault
#

Bolter just needs slightly less shaking and maybe then I could aim with it.

serene sage
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

serene sage
white vault
#

oh draw time is horrible, though I think its almost the same with the plasma

sharp ember
#

lemme stick a bayonet on the front end of a bolter

low lava
#

plasma has a pretty good draw time

serene sage
thick rose
#

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

serene sage
#

shield and baton vet?

#

actually

#

shield and shotgun vet

strange grove
serene sage
#

not that niche, precision is how you should play the bolter now though

#

no more brainless mag dumping

strange grove
#

I don’t like my stamina draining in auric damnation when this game spams poxwalkers behind you

thick rose
#

vet should have bolt pistol that draws faster anyway

serene sage
#

that's just the revolver KEKW_ogryn

strange grove
#

This game could have used a sidearm system like left 4 dead

Eeeeee not that bad imo

Ammo is kinda always my dump stats

serene orbit
limber egret
#

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

strange grove
limber egret
#

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

serene sage
#

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

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.

chainsword can spam light and horde clear well enough

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

Or decimator skull splitterr

(For horde?)

(Oh unless you're talking about the foldable shovel) eyes_eager

#

For the old Sapper Shovel, I'd pick Uncanny Strike and Skullcrusher

terse idol
#

That's reasonable
I'm certainly more of a decimator uncanny mahself,
I defiently gotta try to find a skull crusher

jade notch
#

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

strange sparrow
#

I feel unironically

that Mk 2 Hellbore

Shouldn't be charged

And they'll always be stagger cause funny shovel KEKW_ogryn

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

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.
