left tree vet be like
If ur doing melee vet take OFB
zero survivability
Sole left tree vet is the weakest vet
Def not. Ofb is better on melee focus specifically if you take target down
I just take precision/deadshot and leave it usually
but some builds I take superiority or shock trooper yea
PRECISION STRIKES?!
DETERMINED?!?!
Meh
Determined is gun dependent
determined meh
i dont take determined to often tho
on some guns sure
A lot of guns skip determined
usually not
but it IS really good
obviously
And uh
lmao
Headhunter?
Or just....... Reposition and Peak Fire
you're playing sharpshooter vet thats enough punishment in itself
What other guns need determined?
Bolter could use it but it play exec so...
sometimes
Lucius, Plasma, Bolter, IAG, Brauto, Shredder, Revolver all dont want it
but running to cover and repeaking is just as viable
Does suppression immunity remove slowdown ?
imagine not being able to hit anything with a shredder because you're suppressed but you never passed the 10 ballistic rolls of 3+

Man i miss stun immunity 
at least that's what I take it for mostly
If they give us stun immunity back melee vet is just a full ass zealot lmao
Grenades no longer be swift 😔
get back in the fight
become a zealot every 30 seconds
lmao
Lel
gonna tell my kids this is a sniper
Might as well be
Sir put that peg leg down
Ngl, melee vet is a bit much atm. So much so it kinda makes the class have a confused identity
Slug rounds are stupid accurate
actually i can make it even bigger
its a slug, pretty damn close to one
*pinpoint accuracy
Suppression immune too
You still fold in 2s
it doesnt even fit the screen 
I'm gonna make an agri shotgun with a scope
I love it
Eh? Not really. Vet has so much toughness recovery
Add a scope you coward
same
The biggest one
Rephrasing: melee vet is always 2s away from folding
love it just as much as i love agri shotty
Agripinaa Shotgun is actually a single shot weapon
Thats true of everyone lol
Not if youre good

you know how much i hate zoomed fov
i installed weapon fov just so i could enjoy vraks
veterans are not just good at using guns
Just do it for the screenshot
Netted and grilled with incindiary and Tox flame
no identity crisis
Then it's not a sniper 
Not zealot nor ogryn, they have non thoughness dr
Doesnt matter when ur netted
Thats the main threat anyway in melee
okay lmao wth is this
You rarely take more than 2-3 hits in quick succession
heck trappers being maniac also makes them quite resistant to melee damage as well iirc
Thats cool as hell
sure!
They fire while in melee so its very dangerous to melee them
And are very stagger resistant once they enter the shooting animation
i will learn to play with this 16x scope just so i can keep this appearance ngl
Yea it's the Tournament legal modifications 
Lol
lmao
Just never ads
the gun looks too big for the stock
Ez
I wish you could adjust the scope zooms
same
I don't need to imagine
yeah ranger vigil is as far as i go
Imagine using ads at all. I hipfire 99% of the time
Imagine playing darktide
Yeah go touch grass and be outside
i was an iron sights gang until i became not-so-stubborn anymore and tried this mod. i have no regrets
Might as well be
not unless there are weeds between the cracks
how about a old sweaty and gamer smelling chair?
Yes my job is to cut grass and deliver them to redditors that never went outside but tells their online peers they've touched grass

you could start as business off that no lie
I love being outdoors i dont understand why people dont like it
Lawn cutting Services do be a thing
Well that was your first mistake
Though I'm not in the US
NY be like:
"If it's fun we will regulate it or tax it to the point it aint fun no more"
you like living?
multiply the cost to do so by 5
Guys im gonna do make every shot count. If i use shotgun and pellets miss but a few hit will that negatively affect my accuracy
just use the slug gun
be safe a lot of people have been having issues with other guns
Im on controller we both know i cant aim rat
dump them into a monstrosity
and crushers
Well heres my idea
its sad but just go for suboptimal kills
Hit one perfect shot with lawbringer
Then use special ammo the rest of the game
Even if missing pellets doesnt give me accuracy it doesnt matter because id have 100%
Would that work?
Ok ill use slugs
Well i was hoping someone might already know so i dont have to potentially waste 20 minutes
But i dont see why it wouldnt work
But ik fatshark has spaghetti code so idk
You can also use the new revolver and fanfire into crowds, I did that last night when I was bored
Just kit out for melee vet and, as previously mentioned, shoot suboptimal targets you know you'll get one, two bullets into and those 80ish rounds will be gone halfway through
Just be sure there's no survivalist aura in your team
You can miss one and a half reloads worth of bullets-ish if my math is right
whats the general consensus on the combat shotguns nowadays?
does the fire part of the kantrael do much?
Considering it's pellets in a spread that apply a fire DoT, yeah
It puts in work
what about blessings?
Can melt a horde in at little as three shots
I don't understand fire shells
Now that's a question for others in here, I don't know shotgun blessings
aight, cheers tho
Haven't gotten to them yet
pocket sniper slug shell
They are a DoT with infinite cleave
DoTs benefit a lot from crit
thats the strange part
So scattershot on kantrael is really good
I've made a deadshot build for it
Wish the Lawbringer duckbill shot was better
and I wasnt very impressed by it
And then you could choose between flechette for another DoT
maybe I should have taken cleave into account
idk but with that modifier roll im pretty bricked
get it thats a pain in the ass to farm for
oain
You need surgical so you can only change 1 perk
this is a good day for my melk offers. all goes downhill from here
dont think ive ever seen a 380 modifier myself in melks
convinced he just hates me
I'm of the opinion if melk brings anything that isn't t4 blessings it's a waste but
this gun needs to have surgical so one of the perks will brick at least
on the plus side he sold t4 deadly accurate so i can round this gun out now
thats pretty good
i think its god-god rolled now no?
ah, but now Hadron is poor-shaming me
back to deployment
man grinds in his sleep
guh
Back in the prehistoric era when mg12 was the gun of guns
Altho u could not store blessings
Hmmmm
Maybe ur senile
I kinda hope they give KanXII a little something... more
It's in a really weird spot rn
doesnt this kinda apply to all of them
infant lasguns are weird
at least with recons its easy, they're just bad case closed
I mean, the MgIV is up there as far as killtime goes, and the Ia can definitely perform where the KanXII previously did for shooter clear
KanXII just has enough power to kill the things you need to be dead with enough lack of firerate to get uncomfortable compared to the power
I almost want to say it needs cleave but then it starts breaking into the Helbore's identity
They're very very headshot dependent, big surprise lol
Maybe I'd lean it a bit into laspistol territory, make it the crit lasrifle

They will be good
September 2024
or so
I still think they need to make and keep recons bad so the hellgun they release later has a niche
wait october, and then nerf it again in november
Recon is only allowed 1 of the variants to be good for a month
Eh, I personally think there is enough about Hellguns to keep them separate
Heat system, heavier by nature
My expectations for hellguns are terrible damage except for monstrosities but ALL the suppression
why terrible damage?
Inaccuracy
I have no idea how that blessing combo fairs, but I think it might be your problem too
^this. falter is garbage on the IV gun has basically zero stagger to begin with.
which also makes respite poopoo
I meant no respite
on that gun they are both garbage
It's more for helbores
With the MkIV you want something more like deadly accurate+Head hunter, will be much more reliable
specials I just headshot
if you cant kill a goon the gun isnt doiing its job lol
does power cycler have only a +1 blessing or is there a +2?
Or hel, shoot em in the leg where they have flak, doesn't matter anyways you won't really stagger them
1 at Tier 3, 2 at tier 4
thank you
@twin ingot whats +90% of zero...
those are the IV's stagger multipliers, or lack thereof
bro
the fucking timing???
spared me plasteel thanks bbg
Fuckin throne on a blue
i KNOW right
jfc lucky
now to get a decent sword
discord why

Sadge no proper embed
ok how do you upload videos correctly in discord now
But yeah, as a MkIV/carpal tunnel stan, deadly accurate+HH will mop
@twin ingot below i think 10mb embeds
No idea
let me check
hell even infernus feels good on crit chance builds

I was gonna say Deadly+HH/Infernus lol
Love me an infernus las
I scrap every infernus las I get honestly
melts bosses real nice
My build is infernus+deadly with +flak +maniac, and then that new knife mark with mercy killer, rending backstab and the serrated blade perk
Makes short work of pretty much anything provided it's used with a team that can take the heat from me stealthing into armor backstabs or getting an angle on the monstrosities
It aint the best but it's fun
as long as its fun thats all that matters imo
I hope you don't use smoke bombs in that loudout
no point using something if its not fun in my eyes
I do, actually, but that's because it's for damage support and pushing objectives
HH/inf would be your best bet in a crit build, deadly works too but considering how critdmg increases are calculated the value isnt as good comparatively
When it needs to be more... self sustaining? It's shredders and stockpile
ugh why
True, I never ran numbers
smoke is like useless
Smokes are busted, you just don't know how they work
no need to, this game is weird with crDmg, it only mods on the existing crit not the base mult so its minimal gains
What would you guys use for Agrip Revolver traits? Mine came with Maniac/Unyielding
they are partially nonfunctioning atm
Well, yes, but where they do work it's very nice
so as bad as its inseption
it just has no place in darktide
smokes are mp utilities
not single player game things
They're essentially psyker bubble, but as mentioned they only half-work right now
minus the shielding part
They still break most ranged enemies by forcing them into melee
not helping the matter for a range only focus vet as I prefer them with a gun instead of melee
so you just push more melee people onto us who focus on guns
Again, they're psyker bubble
If you stand in the cloud (not in the center where the smoke obscures your view) enemies can't draw LoS where you are, only where you were previously
I've turned an open field into a completely safe place to pick enemies off from for 30s just by underhanding a grenade
If you can find it, sure thing!
which is most of the time
tbf thats a gamesense issue melee distance interaction is required no matter what youre playing
yea I know I use melee to fight hordes I just don't like being blinded
I mean, yeah
The opacity of the smoke is a common complaint and I'll be the last person to deny that
Smokes can be better, just saying that where they do work right now they're busted as all hel
everyone I know hates the smoke and calls it a dumb thing that does nothing but blinds people
They aren't as dead a pick as many make them out to be, and people who think they're a dead pick just refuse to even try them
my boyos did
they hate it even after using it
they said use psykers with a bubble instead
Then go make a new character and grab bubble with a different talent spread? #psyker-class 🤷
We're talking about a vet support grenade
One that doesn't even work entirely right now
i just think they should remove it and shove it in a barrel and add a melta bomb instead
the big issue with them is inconsistency with how AI reacts when they are in/at edge of it; its not predictable for all mobs or consistent even for some one time to the next. if this was fixed I'd def be using more in a few builds but i cant trust the inconsistency of that 3rd effect
Sorry oggies got the big bomb
Soon as they patch em up they're gonna see so much use, I feel
So I'm just... practicing haha
Still, I just really enjoy smokes where they do work
Very satisfying
every damn time I try the power sword, even with +2 energised hits, it just feels so damn finicky
in the same time I could have killed the bunch with an axe
III or VI?
I'm no power sword user I have the same sentiments but VI is deffo the horde pick if you're using III
I'm using VI with Cycler IV
Brutal momentum? Rampage?
BM, have yet to roll a rampage to try it with
BM is generally superior IIRC but it's definitely a cadence weapon
it feels to me like the non-powered hits just suck too much, and the powered ones take too long when you need to clear space quickly
I dunno, it's probably just because I have many hours played with the combat axe too
from a dmg or stagger perspective
damage
IV is gonna be less overall but its also just Latk spams for horde
Yeah power sword needs the space to charge that mechanic up, not bsing able to dodge back to hit charge before dodging back in will get you
III has more output if you are weaving single /mixed horde combos with the faster push counter and L1 has permastagger on singles which can be nice
I definitely felt slow af running around to kill stray gunners etc
you really need max mobility on em rn ya
generally the tougher chaff (flak helmet boys) took like ~3 lights without powering IIRC, and powering for strays feels bad
me hit with axe, head fall off
Axe is very power sword adjacent considering they both run BM
Power sword just hurts more in its statblocks because it can totally use all of those maxed out
I don't have a great cleave roll, but I don't think more cleave is what I'm after. I don't think my roll could get much better
Yeah, just Tier4 BM
The difference between them, really, is that axe with Headtaker does absolutely fuck
I'd like that, I'm just not sure +2.5% weakspot dam is gonna make me love it so I'm reticent to spend the mats
also need to actually aim for head with the stabby
It might just be what you need to hit key breakpoints though; dunno
I can't really aim too well in melee, that's why I run a lacerate knife for horde clear lmao
with the axe I find you really have to try to not hit heads lol
Yeah it's all high angles and downwards chopz, innit?
Hello asking for help, is the Autogun or the Recon Lasgun better for high rate of fire horde clear?
on MV IV for single target you should be blockpush > into Hvy anyway which is a stab at head. Charge during approach slide and you dont lose any momentum no stopping just kill and keep going
why can't we gift weapons in Darktide T_T
Gotta pad those playtimes
cause the whole disc would be "plz give me godroll w/ poppyseeds"
And people would still be failing damnations lol
Columnus Mk V will do basically everything (except crushers)
itd be way worse honestly lol
you can drop/trade in lots of free to play MMOs and those definitely want to pad playtime
You shouldn't be using your ranged weapon for horde clear, but a columnus MkV infantry autogun (as mentioned) or (especially) a braced autogun does wonders because of solid rounds hitting multiple chaff enemies
Recon lasguns are a pinpoint weapon, not really horde clear despite their high rate of fire
Sadly they are also just in a really poor place right now
Braced autoguns have the added benefit of dealing collateral damage
There's something to be said for burst firing into a horde with a braced
braced agripinaa is 
nahh let agri have this one lol
Poor poor braced graia
gra-who?
I think it's that infantry autogun, never heard of a braced version pal
Really? LOL
Okay thanks
I'll still with the Autogun then, love my mid range killer
oh boy
Yeah it's just that we're in a horde game, there's more hordes than ammo usually
That's where the braced auto shines tho
me, trying a meme recon las build rn 
I have a shovel for that
Swap utility of ADS of an IAG for the sheer fun and ability (through that aforementioned collateral statblock) to more effectively kill hordes and grouped enemies
If you don't mind tapfiring to try to hit distant enemies, BIG recommend on a braced if you want close-mid range clear
IAGs are still pinpoint-encouraged weapons
Brautos go brrrrrr
Look, I too pull out my meme recons from time to time but I can't deny they need to be tucked in and read a book so they can sleepies until they wake up to a big helping of buffs for breakfast
just a failed concept without any gameplay elements to back it up
Ok good yeah you get it then
Some people come in here expecting to be able to magdump everything and still have boolets left
Ironically it does more to harm your teammates than the AI
It simply does not belong in an arcade game the way its implemented
Comparing it to psyker shield is just silly unless I'm missing sarcasm there
ngl a scriers gaze psyker crit build w/ HH+Infernus is really fun on the VId/VIIa lol
No sarcasm? It works like psyker shield in that if you reposition in the smoke cloud ranged units (barring snipers) can't target your new location and will either walk into the cloud or continue firing where you were previously
I've stacked rending and crits and it does good work against crushers and Maulers
It's not psyker shield with toughness regen, but it breaks ranged units like psyker shield when it does work
Eh Vermintide Veteran haha the Outcast Engineer in that game with his machine gun is mid
You give up shredders to be a worse psyker in every way imagineable
I haven't even tried a recon on my psyker yet, yike lol
thats a good plan
but yea it needs so many talent points in comparison to other guns
Yeah, that's kind of how it went
We had this conversation already though, that was pages back
Smokes need buffs, we all agree
its actually sad that you have to download a mod just so some of the talent descriptions are explained
FATSHARK
someone swears about how its actually really good
but we're just not getting it
I have like 1000 hours in csgo
I understand what smokes do
dont they do the same thing in this game?
Again, we went over it. They work when they do and they don't when they don't. They have perfectly workable half-interactions that can totally be buffed up and filled in
But yeah, we'll continue opening the convo until they do something 
they obstruct vision for human players so yes.
whoever thought of putting them in this game might have just been board
so does most psyker staffs but they come with the added benefit of killing everything
if you're gonna make me blind at least rack some kills
They do the same thing for enemies provided you're in the smoke cloud
They just don't kick in reliably if you use them to actually break LoS
I wouldnt use smokes
Best to drop em either on the enemies or on your team
gunners who keep shooting into the smoke
yup
snipers that can track you perfectly fine through it
Plush, scroll up
We covered all this lol
smokes are just the tax you have to take going down on the right side of the tree
I think smokes are fun, yes I use them, yes they're bad
you don't have to take it like a personal insult when I say something you like sucks
Yeah but you replied to a comment I made at the top of a conversation that we had that already covered all the points you're making?
so not after downloading a mod i have learned that at 8m Longshot gives you 1% more damage
fun
yes, so I'm replying to them on how I agree
gunna consider this talent as a tax for going down the left tree at the start
Yeah longshot ain't great but hey it's extra damage
8m is practically melee
so unless you're stuffing barrel into something point blank
longshot is adding something
killzone is worse though
no it'snot
Wish we had easier references for distances in the Psykhanium
you COULD aim for someone outside of your range when there are a million enemies in your face, which is nice
tfw 2 zelots have ammo boxes and everyone is in orange territory with ammo and they wont drop them 
killzone will disable itself when I'm trying to shoot a crusher across 30 meters, because the game teleported a poxwalker behind me. Longshot will not.
but generally you take care of things in front of you
you can kite to make enemies have 8m of distance
Any tips for a lv 12?
15% damage at 8m instead of 1% at 8m is kinda crazy when you look at it like that
Keep leveling! 
try to keep your coherency at 2 or 3
do a 360 every few seconds
learn to block / pushcounter
practice gap closing ranged enemies/positioning
always check behind you
huh?
Sorry I couldn't help myself
HUG YOUR TEAMS BUTT
uwu
Sir, im using Columnus 90% of the game, im shooting because I CAN
SHOTGUNS EXIST AS WELL
yes
did melks weeklies reset yet?
longshot benefits you more than killzone does
oh, stick close.
give me more marks of the columnus
you literally buff each other yes
yeah stick close to at least one other person
coherency is a circle around your character that works like a chain link
Don't split up
pay attention to how weapons behave, different weapon marks have different swing patterns or firerates
Don't improve lots of gear a ton early on, you'll replace it later very quickly
so you dont need to be next to 3 other players exactly to get it to lvl 4
that's what it's called?
yeah... the game kinda explains that one
except the chaining part
Biggest recommendation is the spinning one, more people need to 360, a lot of players dont pay attention to the back
or the side even
also get comfortable in melee with all enemy types/numbers. learn to move/BLOCK/dodge/BLOCK/push/BLOCK so you dont take dmg
did i mention block?
best bit about v2 i'd say.
is there more tech?
besides sword bosses and ragers, I would not block that much
This
To restate:
Is there an enemy behind you? Did you check?
Yes?
Cool, check again, one probably spawned in.
No? Check again!
white flashes on guns, sound cues, etc typically indicate when to slidesprint/ sidestep/backstep/ a unique attack from a special or gunner
this
turn off the damn music
i know its a masterpiece
but its too loud imo lmao
No
booo u

Or at least turn it down
heresey
L:ET THE DOOM METAL PLAY
nah turn that shit off
100 volume or bust
Look, every modern game is guilty of poor sound balancing
Especially the music
I can hear trappers and snipers perfectly fine youre just deaf
turning it off might be a bit much but yeah having it on low is good enough
for general horde stuff and melee

you'll have to learn but when its just chaff, you can fight them against a wall
to keep your back protected
Takeaway: if you're wanting to improve at the game and are studying sound cues, best to turn down the tunes for a bit
in some cases you can just slide against a wall in general
good tactic I picked up in Vermintide and DRG
when you dont have to worry about your back you won't get chipped
but only when its just chaff
"Dodge" is a state of being, not a movement
and i know its melee, but try to aim it
I have a question about Weapon Specialist. It says 33% Ranged Critical Hit Chance per stack, does that mean in 10 stacks I have a 330% chance to crit? Wouldn't I only need 3 kills for a 100% ranged crit chance? Or is it 33% of my ACTUAL Ranged Crit Chance? Like if I have 10% Crit chance the 330% increase would just bring the 10 to like.. 33% crit chance..?
like actually
Am I over complicating it?
shove, dodge and thwack (sdt), is that viable for a place without walls?
this is why mods are nice

FATSHARK sucks
additive
That looks neat and tidy and not fusterclucked
3 kills gives you 100%
its why weapon specialist is so good with plasma gun and revolver
along with the whole "never reload again" thing
Why the hell would anyone need 330% crit chance? Is it more for the ranged attack speed?
power sword + plasma gun + grenade spam build is great, flexible as hell
fatshark not really caring
pretty much
and it'd be tedious if you needed all 10 stacks to get 100% crit chance
though, honestly, nerf it
fuck the plasma gun and revolver
allows you tohave viable crit chance at less stacks in frequent swap
i just like the chain sword, saves me krak nades against the chain-axe blokes
Alright, fair. Thank you guys. Jesus.
you do you.
take the emperor's blessing and just use it, yeah?
the Emperor does not want me to penetrate
Is playing Veteran at low level supposed to feel so bad
bte that's gorgeous!
Thank you very much!
Biblically accurate armor
i just went revolver, it was a breeze lol
no
it can feel bad for the 1st few levels, until you get Voice of Command
just kill elites and let team do the rest
I mean you play executioner stance for a few levels which sucks
need an eight crazy nights meme with the krak grenade now.
but thats like, few games
Vet and Psyker are really squishy at the begining of leveling
I'm gonna say it, vet and psyker suck until lv12/13
Trying to level a Veteran for the first time after maining Zealot and I feel simultaneously slow and weak and fragile
i felt this till i got good curios
tbh levelling is boring once you've done it once
Zealot imo has the best lvling experience in the game
yeah im a zealot main, level 60 veteran now, it gets much better
Veteran Leveling suck compared to Psyker and Zealot
me on my twelfth character: 
Psyker get access to end game power blitz at level 10 shit
lol
oh yeah
Zealot is also pretty ass until you unlock Holy Revenant
curios help 100%
(Assail)
my psyker leveling was
for newer players my recommendation is to stack Toughness or Health Curios
spam assail
i wouldnt recommend vet to anyone starting because veteran is a big team supporter specialist killer class and you gotta know how to do basic stuff first to be good
outdamage the lvl30 vets in my team
through sheer assail spam
and I leveled mine post-nerfs
Recommended starter characters are deffo zealot oggy
Rannick may be my worst hear-me-out
ogryn was iffy for me
since it was m 1st character
being a big ass bullet sponge was not fun
Ogryn forces you to git gud with evasion
zealot needs more cool support stuff imo
I have hundreds of hours in DT and run aurics, don't make me painfully hit things with shit weapons for ages pls gem. It turns the difficulty into having shit gear rather than, you know, the game being actually fun and difficult
and respecting the line of fire
ogryn is beefy tho so you wont go down as easy, and you get 1 extra try compared to the other classes
Oohh cool you got a shiny relic big woop wanna fite about it? 
No, plenty of Ogryn go their entire careers never learning that 
oh yeah
How can I pin this lmao
im tired of ogryns ngl
for sum reason
I never learned to hate Ogryns until I found a gun I actually liked using
wish we had friendly fire
I'd gun down every ogryn that even tries to step on my screen
Throne I wish they would bring in some level of friendly fire if only to actually get peopLE TO MOVE OUT OF MY WAY
Slowly
they are usually the shots that count too
Nah, ogryns walking in front of columnus fire are doing us a favor so we can say it isnt OP and has weaknesses 
ever had an ogryn ask to kill snipers
then as you are shooting the idiot blocks your bullets?
my bad idiot is harsh
Is it wrong that the scoreboard makes me hate 90% of Zealot players 😭
Use the Grenade Gauntlet
Kill them yourself
Be a man
scoreboard is a plague to this community
and will always be
everyone ego trips over the scoreboard
This is a skill issue (you picked a weapon that doesn't pen enough)
I never downloaded Scoreboard, what's the problem
saw a dude here comment about carrying his team yesterday and i wanted to talk shit
Best take.
cause there was a zealot that did more damage, went down less, found more resources and everything
but i try to be nice
matter of fact they all went down 4+ times zealot didnt go down once, but HE carried
EGO
What being cares about some silly numbers instead of having fun?
The "Zealot who did more damage" is some unicorn stuff though
dont ever download it
do the lobby a favor
I judge whether I've carried by the number of revives I've pulled off
he had the one that shows the class and loadouts so yeahhe got outdamaged by one
Ugh, don't even get me started on a vet that had M1 ping and killed the most elites, but also went down the most and generally annoyed everyone
Yeah you got the most elite kills, mkIV lasrifle is cracked lol
Ok but if you have never used the Scoreboard mod all you will have is doubt cuz you lack actual Numbers
but you know, you do more damage when you don't die so yeah
Zealots either go full sustain or burst damage, while Veterans feel like they do both.
if you understand to look for damage taken, fewest times disabled/downed, and that more damage != more skill (e.g. Smite Psykers can be super useful, etc), the scoreboard is fine and lets you identify good builds (your own and others)
The bloody snub pistol so strong for close range
Don't need a scoreboard to see if you're valuable to the team.
also I have 'shots blocked' stat turned on and it's fun to see how many mag dumps the gungryns have eaten
My brother in the emperor I have an xbox.
scoreboard is a numbers farming tool im sorry
tools are what you make of them, fren
a lot of the time i hear ppl in vc talking about that shit i wanna shove a grenade in their mouth
Well enjoy Harecy or w/e adults are talking
I use scoreboard because I like to see just how bad some players are
.>
JURGEN COSPLAY!
(They don't want my feedback anyways)
*heresey
ppl seeand want damage so they just kite the hoard away fromt he team so they can solo while the team does objs, then go down and complain about not getting any help
Yeah of course you know how to spell it
im not helping the battle frenzied maniac sorry, i want my plasteel and i want out
Harebsey!
last thign
ppl that VC about scoreboard either think you can only be good with high numbers or be bad when you dont have the highest number
"scoreboard doesn't matter, btw I'm literally a knife main and I'm just here to get carried and loot plasteel"
you cant be testing or trying something else new
By cadia, just have fun!
Honestly, crackhead style gameplay is fun, but that comes from playing slayer a lot in vt2. Its like steph curry in basketball, the difference between a 3 point god and a bricklayer is just making them lol
it doesn't matter but im about to turn VC off completely soon
That is typical behavior
If you want to test your weapons, go the meat grinder! It has difficulty scaling enemies!
This, me a cracked out knife vet with infil pushing any objective I see and looting all the plasteel
Did you get the secret hard mode already?
Just understand when you get downed its your fault, like missing a 3 instead of ez dunk
"bro you only have 300k damage, carry weight" --- not me collecting 300+ plasteel and not going down all game
I'm either going down once at the start and sticking my butt to the team or hard pushing while everyone else murderhobos
need for rerolls trumps me egoing numbers [on a mission]
The secret is when you run ahead and kill everything, you get all the easy plasteel pickups so no one can accuse you of not being a team player lmao
tell that to randoms online
watch them not agree lmao
Always top or 2nd in plasteel picked up if im mot playing payker but i dont do the side routes cuz im lazy lmao
it's never their fault they are alone behind or ahead of the team
I basically never have anyone say anything about the scoreboard, in VC or text
Besides, keeping the team in mind and not hard focusing on your numbers has better validation. You want to compete? Go back to kerillian.
No matter what I'm doing, even if doing a test or meme build
I literally can't remember a single time
had a few yesterday and 2 earlier today
Probably because you aren't being toxic knife Zealot
The smart ones know they can get banned if they do 
can you?
No.
Almost as if we're playing a co-op game
Not sure if fatshark bans considering some of the spicy names ive seen lol
i've seen someone named futtbucker
was pretty funny
the most ive seen of ppl commenting on scoreboards is one dude was like "jesus christ you killed a lot of elites" when i was playing zealot
Warriorpriestofnigmar, never forget
ive had ppl be toxic to me but it was completely unrelated to scoreboard
uug wrong reply
ayo

is dis shovel gud? I'm thinking about using it with plasma
how many carapace enemies can a plasma gun pierce?
BTW are there any krieger cosmetics? Cannae find them.
i actually like the blessing combo
perks gotta change
There is, but it’s out of rotation rn
you need a melee that is good to wave clear trash, that seems like for heavy hitting
You need to buy it when it’s rotated in
When they said modding was gonna be added I'm fairly certain there was a bit that said as long as it doesn't effect other players, and added in that if someone was toxic because they had X and someone else didn't but started being toxic because of it, that's grounds enough for a ban if they get reported
nah CC is fine too
Any idea of the total cost of them?
so once again it's psword? 😂
with his set up it will kill chaff
Well since you are on xbox lemme describe what a typical High Int Damnation has felt like for me in the last few days "oh they got downed by gunners again. What are you doing? Where are you going? Why are you running?"
2400 Aquila
with the plasma gun things dont get CCed, they just explode and die
For one set
But thanks to technology I can see all that in a scoreboard
Change to your own regional currency
talking about the shovel....
i use that shovel too
New set should cost 2700 Aquila meanwhile
most players right now are new
Wouldn't know. I' just started playing this.
so im only complaing about scoreboard ego kids
not expecting ppl to be good at the game and a bunch of ppl are just trying out damnation
The funny thing is, scoreboard probably is the best way to call out toxic players because it's objective information lol
Most toxic players probably don't use scoreboard or else they'd know how bad they are
So enjoy harebussy your controller isn't going to let you get much farther
and the best way to BE toxic xd
^
I think I don't think I've ever met a toxic scoreboard user yet trying to use it to flex on people lol
I love staying humble without leaderboard mod 
This. We are taking to one right now
Skill issue
I use scoreboard, glance at good peeps (high scorer) and try to notice what they do. also to check my own performance
Instead of studying a scoreboard, I study the blade.
i wish there were more ppl like that
but then it's been a while since I've dipped down to malice and heresy, when I do go in its a smooth run and smooth runs don't generate salt
Correct use of a scoreboard
The only important stats on scoreboard is plasteel looters
You can suck entire game
But if you collected 500+ plasteel

hey I actually appreciate a good looter 
It's okay, do whatever difficulty takes your fancy!
Unless you lose
looters 
Based.
if you not looting my plasteel dont @ me bruh!
You still get rewarded for losing too
though so many people just run. they don't even pick healing and ammo boxes for god sake!

rather lose with 175-200 in my pocket than nothing
Then you still get more than a malice or some hereseys
I don't loot ammo boxes because all of my builds are designed around not needing ammo so other people can have it
Good guy builds
AAAAAND there is this one dude, when I ask why they don't pick plas and dia, they says "why, aren't those psyker's ammo?"
Oh boy the ultimate cope. 'i looted so much plasteel and get to keep some of it when we die!"
Idk why you're being so toxic lmao
yeah weird
I guess the real question is how often you lose at Damnation (please tell me you don't actually go into Auric Damnation)
My brother in christ, you literally compare numbers with no immediate benefeit whatsoever, besides would you rather have it or not.
really fucking good innit ?
Oh by the way @dense belfry you can achieve anything on xbox
As long as PC carries
- i do farm in auric damnation during the day, you lose less there because ppl that play auric know what they are doing. spoke about it a few days ago
Yes, thanks
I really don't know why your being a dick bc I've carried plenty of PC players
Everyone is ass
^
- losing in damnation just happens atm, because of all the new players and I like to test things
Regardless of platform
We all be human after all 
(Says the try harder.)
- NO ONE is ever ALWAYS on top of their game when playing
Jesus Christ save me. "I run Auric Damnation to get carried" please do not try to convince me of anything you leech
who's lost child is this?
Fr
Maybe you run lower difficulties cus you're not able to carry?
i wanted to try the mk3 helobre, i didn't know the bayonet would be THAT BAD
holy shit
You smell like potato chips and sweat, probably a loner zealot player
"just happens" how often does it just happen to you
its funny
because good players leech off of one another
its called teamwork
you bot
Ye my teammates leech off the kills while I leech off their ammo, is win win
it’s less clunky if you hold and then release instead of tapping, but still not great

i didn't think it would be a overhead lmfao
Please, bots have some intelligence. Maybe choose kinder words. XD
some runs you just can't get anything done - i had one run where i literally ate shit constantly, went down like 10+ times (on wound zealot thankfully) and all i managed to do was clear some hordes and do some objectives while my vet and psyker did most of the heavy lifting
it doesn’t even stun better or deal better dps or cleave than the stabbing bayonet 
That’s fine at least u tried ur best 
We can’t all be perfect
No I'm in a discussion with a knife zelot who is going to turn off voice chat because people complain that all he does is loot plasteel and his cope is that losing Damnation is just a fact of life, also play Auric Damnation so the better players can carry you
nah players aren't allowed to have bad games, or just test something
apparently
but yeah it happens
this mising any breakpoints?
Never said how often you lose Damnation
Shit happens bc there's so many bugs and you can literally clip through the map
but other times i can kill lots of stuff and dodge things well! eventually i will have more good games and less bad games... at least that's the hope
I'll random queue Auric and see if I can get carried while doing nothing
They said that they tend to do it not hard focus
Just for you
who's lost child?
Is even funnier the 2nd time 
i think someone shit in his bed ngl
Some karking heretic infiltrated our ranks 🤣
wtf is this post on the steam forums
I'd get mad and start strawmanning and talking shit to ppl on the internet if someone SHAT in my bed, ngl
NOOO lmao
@gusty grail you are literally encouraging the behavior you're whining about
W/e dude you can't argue "scoreboard is bad because people call out my toxic behavior" that is very dumb ty for discussing
It's a bug
But scoreboard is bad because people call out my toxic behavior
FARMING PLASTEEL IS TOXIC?
lmao
Sometimes charge shots dissappear
Well I just learned some neat facts about celery and pineapple, who knew
IDK, but i know when I'm spam firing with it, sometimes the hitbox for the shot goes out and things die but there is no plasma
looks like ill be taking + unarmoured
Maybe thats what he's memeing about
That too
plasma animation bug is an issue from this patch
Bruh that quote is the reason why everyone is dunking on you, one of the stages of grief Is denial you know?
On Low Int Damnation? No. On Auric Damnation where you say "we are just going to lose anyway" yes
the stawmen are infinite
It does not affect the plasma performance though
unlimited staw-works
Felt it tryna fight the twins, is visually unappealing
That's the opposite of what they said
Glad it’s only a visual bug
Tf
It's like watching Ellen or oprah
Wendy Williams?
Explain to me what they said
Also on high auric mael
You don't play Damnation you have nothing to add to the discussion
You can win on 2 person anyways
came on the internet
cant read
so needs explaining
which requires reading
its gold
I had sessions where mael auric change map at the last 3 minutes
2 DAMAGE OFF
Damnation games you'll randomly lose bc of new players whereas Auric you won't
noooo
So no one can join after people left
Happens to the best of us pal 
It’s hard but I don’t really think one handicap would lose you high auric these days
and we being elitist out here now too
and now i have to but unamoured on it :(
So you are saying that is ok to screw around looting because the good players are in Auric Damnation
If there's more people with this attitude I'd definitely rather be hospitalised by my balls again.
And there's the strawmaning
No
I think i called out toxic scoreboard users in the presence of one
That's not what I said
ngl didnt expect someone to get aggro over scoreboard talk
Dang so even AFTER the explanation he don’t understand?
F's in the chat, melk brought me five power swords across two vets all with PC3
Well u tried at least that’s something 
stats if possible?
this is fact
Not the worst, I got 20th Psword before going PC4
none good enough to trade out the ones I already made lol
ah ok
new players TRYING damnation vs expeirienced players playing through auric is two different things but its hard to wrap you're head around it
As if new players don't go into Auric Damnation just because they hit 30 and its unlucked.
Power Cyler and Slaughterer are the best traits for PS
He went bye bye
The definition of “fuck around and find out”
This is literally what he said
I can respect that
not every auric run goes well, but i legit think more of them get completed than regular damnation atm
let me rephrase that, a higher percentage
You are interpreting their sentences way differently bro
I quoted him
[⚠️ Kuro XIII has alerted the horde]
Go ask your mom to suck you off or smth
wasn't aimed at you sorry
I'm wrong when I quoted him
And I summarized it bc you can't read
^
I only play Auric Mael Damnation
It's pretty easy to carry, and I appreciate Plasteel farmer more than dps provider
Ik the guy just disappeared
straw manning
"1. i do farm in auric damnation during the day, you lose less there because ppl that play auric know what they are doing. spoke about it a few days ago"
dont dude, he'll prolly come at you too
JFC the amount of Fucking disablers and specials
I said this and i talked about it like 2 days ago
Oh my god.
is stand by it
I'd have a sensory overload.
you meet more ppl who know what they are doing in auric which makes playing there easy AF sometimes
"1. i do farm in auric damnation during the day, you lose less there because ppl that play auric know what they are doing. spoke about it a few days ago" "not every auric run goes well, but i legit think more of them get completed than regular damnation atm". Literally a determent to the team
Determent? My brother in the emperor
I love plasteel farmer in my game
I do not care
You have skill issue on winning cuz you think plasteel farmer bad
I provide coherency to plasteel farmers.
You lost this fight
It was an example, I didn't say it's what you are doing
Either go learn how to argue
i try sometimes, i don't always make it tho 😦
Huh? That wasn’t to u broski no worries
Your google search was mad informative
Determent. Lmao.
I'm a "determent" whatever that is
Oh, my mistake slime😎
You lose sometimes, you win sometimes, people just need to learn sometimes
It’s a pve game so don’t get too emotional
I will get very emotional, the mutant touched me in mah waist
the fact that they can't spell detriment makes me think this IS a kid
Its a synonym for Deterrent.
You spelled it wrong
/j
Try it with 3 handicaps
sigh
They did 300k damage each
?
Look good enough to me
The numbers not close to 0? Fine by me 
That's really bad in a game with 2.2k kills
I wanted you to think that you were wrong for a second
i'm ignorant
Detriment is what they would have meant by context, not determent
Why worry bout kills when most the kills are the fodder horde ones 
TBH looks like you just went hard because you could lol
Then aid them instead of leaving them behind? Work as a kruting team? Do basic co-op gameplay instead of "They were weak, they deserve to die" Like some basic shonen villain.
I do be wrong every now and then
would not having + maniacs miss anything?
