thats why i recommend to just make it as easy as possible for yourself, on malice and low intensity
(no shock troop gauntlet tho)

torn root
#

i think more ppl have to get use to kiting and blocking

#

or running I do be running away a lot XD

inland orchid
#

No health damage taken whole mission

#

Overwatch is its name thumbsup_ogryn

thorn plinth
#

for actively chasing this penance, just stay out of melee combat, run past everything that wants to hit you, using shout,
let the others deal with it xD
if its on malice anyway they should be able to easily

rare pumice
#

I’m kind of new to the game and the Lora (slowly learning it and love it so far), that being said what is “shout”?

torn root
#

you could probably try to grind low intensity missions for it too

thorn plinth
torn root
#

for the penance there are a few recommendations i think that are worth taking off of skill tree

rare pumice
#

Got it, I guess I have to retweet my skills tree then. If anyone has a good reference as to a skill tree loadout for a veteran running bolt gun please let me know.

thorn plinth
#

one upgrades gives more toughness to you and friends,
the other lowers your radius but lets you revive people
the revive sounds extremely good, and it can be clutch,, but often usign a normal shout and manually reviving is just as safe

inland orchid
#

Ya normal shout is pretty nasty and that’s coming from a lad who prefers revive shout loregryn

torn root
#

Exhilarating Takedown, Close Order Drill, Confirmed Kill, Out for Blood, Iron Will and On Your Toes --- They all either give Toughness Damage Reduction or some extra Toughness

#

idk i think Vet has a ton of ways to deal with it

thorn plinth

severe crypt
#

not gonna lie the helbore kinda sucks dog shit it needs a rework

thorn plinth
torn root
#

can't be typing that here

thorn plinth
forest scaffold
#

he doesn't get anything "for free" as it were

#

ogryn gets 25% for hitting something

#

psyker gets 7.5% for killing something with the warp, or doing anything with peril really

#

zealot gets 15% for dodging

#

veteran is the only one who is gated by barrier to entry

#

which is feelsbadman

strange sparrow
torn root
strange sparrow
#

Everything for veteran is condition except VoC

torn root
#

and you just noted a bunch of other ways with conditions

forest scaffold
#

VoC would be conditional if fatshark removed situational awareness and bumped the cooldown to 45 seconds again

#

why the fuck they buffed VoC I have no idea

torn root
#

+15% toughness and 10% TDR for weakspot kills

severe crypt
strange sparrow
#

Their condition are significantly easier to fulfil compared to Veteran

torn root
#

+50% TDR at 75% or higher

#

which btw

#

is fucking nuts

forest scaffold
#

or

#

ogryn

#

with 66%

#

at all toughness

strange sparrow
forest scaffold
#

voc is blatantly OP Sitgryn

torn root
#

dodging and needing a specific thing to kill isnt free

forest scaffold
#

so is situational awareness

#

but all of the CDR talents are blatantly OP

torn root
#

not as free as just needing to be above 75%

forest scaffold
#

so just toss SA onto the pile

torn root
#

you don't see how the take is scewed?

strange sparrow
#

Not really, considering half of its condition is take a gun and shoot

#

While Psyker can spam special to get toughness back with a sword

forest scaffold
#

or purg staff

#

or trauma staff

#

or electric staff

#

or voidstrike

strange sparrow
#

The condition to met them are significantly easier

#

I could shoot into a wall to get toughness back

forest scaffold
#

Yeah, we're not arguing veteran is bad. Well, I'm not.

#

Just that his barrier to entry for toughness regeneration is higher than everyone else.

#

Basically that's just veteran in a nutshell really.

torn root
#

i didnt know that mass cleaving hordes into oblivion was hard with out for blood either

forest scaffold
#

His whole tree is very high barrier to entry.

#

But if you can meet it, veteran's fucking stupid.

#

And I hate it.

#

I hate everything about it.

strange sparrow
#

No one took out for blood because -20% sprint cost but I mean it exist ig

forest scaffold
#

Skill floor too high, rewards too high.

forest scaffold
#

out for blood is kinda funny with frag grenades

torn root
#

not wanting to take shit has nothing to do with ease of use

forest scaffold
#

as it acts like trauma staff on psyker

#

you immediately get 3.5x10

#

or whatever

#

on poxwalkers/groaners

strange sparrow
#

Also it does require to kill something with Psyker also have but better

#

7.5% for warp kill or something

torn root
#

3.5% for any kill..

forest scaffold
#

warp kill is any kill on psyker

#

like

#

are you reading what you're writing KEKW_ogryn

torn root
#

^

forest scaffold
#

the only time its not is on gunker

torn root
#

says the guy that the others had no requirement

strange sparrow
#

Yeah… I’m a space magician also there’s Crit Toughness regeneration

forest scaffold
#

who gets 5% per crit

strange sparrow
#

For gunker…

torn root
#

then proceeds to like the requirements

#

lmao

#

.>

forest scaffold
#

out for blood is hamstrung by costs

#

and frankly the amount you get

frank ether
forest scaffold
#

Its painful to get point checked by -20% sprint cost

torn root
frank ether
#

do you realize other blitz also take tactical awareness

torn root
#

which is a foreing concept for players

forest scaffold
strange sparrow
#

You get either Crit Toughness Regen, Warp Kill Regen, Get Quell/Reduce Quell

#

Which is funny

torn root
#

because you rahter just have the game be broken and monotonous

strange sparrow
#

Anything you do get toughness

forest scaffold
#

VoC needs to be nerfed

strange sparrow
#

compared to hitting heads, hitting special

#

which require you to aim/find special to kill

torn root
forest scaffold
#

While quantity isn't the sole decider for if something is OP

#

its a good marker though.

frank ether
forest scaffold
#

And nearly every veteran uses VoC

strange sparrow
#

KEKW_ogryn Me trying to tell people Veteran Toughness Regeneration Option are conditional and significantly harder than other class

torn root
forest scaffold
#

I can absolutely fuck up my positioning beyond all reason with VoC

dry knoll
#

Thats not just that VOC is great, but that the other two options arn't as required/good. Especially stealth in a co-op game

forest scaffold
#

and not get punished at all for it

#

its really fucking dumb how the overtoughness works

torn root
#

if you swapped VoC with Infiltrate i guarentee you would see more infiltrate cause right side of the tree is dogshit

forest scaffold
#

I use the right side tree all the time

#

+25% damage?

torn root
#

its not just cause VoC is good

forest scaffold
#

+5% crit chance?

#

+10% melee damage?

idle dirge
#

Infiltrate is pretty damn good

forest scaffold
#

Shits fucking stacked what are you on

torn root
#

literally

torn root
#

none of you guys actually do math

frank ether
#

swing your fucking sword

#

congratz

strange sparrow
#

We got +300 Toughness over

frank ether
#

you've done it on zealot

torn root
#

to argue that 5% damage wouldnt be more beneficial than 5% crit

forest scaffold
strange sparrow
#

That's how funny it is

torn root
#

like actually

idle dirge
autumn bramble
#

what exactly is toughness damage reduction? like each point of toughness is worth more?

frank ether
#

what argument you press F on zealot, gain %50 toughness, gapclose, stun everything in your face, crit your enemy

forest scaffold
#

if you have 50% DR

frank ether
#

and its basically a spammable

forest scaffold
#

damage that hits your toughness does 50% less damage

#

so if you get hit with a 100 damage attack

frank ether
#

zealot gapcloser is MORE spammable than VoC

forest scaffold
#

its now 50 damage

strange sparrow
#

The whole thing with zealot is to survive thou

frank ether
#

no shit what do you think vets use voc for

#

to survive

forest scaffold
#

that just shouldn't be something we can access

#

its a problem on all 4 classes

frank ether
#

how dare abilities scale with difficulty lmao

torn root
#

5% crit is literal dog shit

autumn bramble
#

ah gotcha

dry knoll
#

Considering that different weapons react differently to crit it makes the maths unnecessarily complex. That said, flat 5% damage is just going to be better with other talents

forest scaffold
autumn bramble
#

thanks

forest scaffold
#

It shouldn't to a degree.

frank ether
#

the constant nerf voc cries are actually annoying me

stuck gorge
#

also what even is the base crit chance?

frank ether
#

veteran has one strong blitz

#

and you want it nerfed into ground

forest scaffold
frank ether
#

because god forbid

#

veteran has something good

torn root
forest scaffold
torn root
#

ITS NOT 5% FOR EVERYONE

strange sparrow
torn root
#

see

#

nah now we just typing to type

#

lmao

forest scaffold
#

all classes have 5% base crit chance

#

and then its modified by weapon

torn root
idle dirge
stuck gorge
torn root
strange sparrow
torn root
#

like actually

forest scaffold
#

its on the weapons now.

#

Stubbers have -4.5%

#

making ogryn have 0.5% crit chance with stubbers

#

as just one example

torn root
strange sparrow
#

Im not gonna argue this because I haven't seen an actual reputable datamine in general

#

and all my statement are based on other's people information at some point

torn root
#

it's been tested for so long

#

ppl use to think everyone HAD base 5%

forest scaffold
torn root
#

yeah

#

big ass mistake

#

moving on

#

I really DO NOT like misinformation

strange sparrow
#

Veteran Conditional Toughness Regeneration are pretty bad

#

Still

#

All of the other class eat better

forest scaffold
#

I wouldn't say bad.

#

Just feelsbadman

#

they're still good

#

just feelsbadman compared to everyone else

#

the headshot one is the most annoying due to recoil being a stat you can roll on for half the guns

#

so you can't muscle memory recoil control

stuck gorge
#

psyker with 1 base stamina bar thumbsup_ogryn

forest scaffold
#

not as effectively as static recoil patterns anyway

strange sparrow
#

Headshot one is dumb, simply because the condition was use a range weapon

idle dirge
#

imo vet feels fine in terms of toughness and stuff. Some things could be tweaked but it’s not as big of a deal as most say

forest scaffold
#

I mean

#

it'd be pretty fucking OP if it applied to melee

torn root
#

ppl like to complain

forest scaffold
#

power sword go brrrrrrrr

torn root
#

i moved over from zealot

forest scaffold
#

get 10% x 4 back with combat axes

torn root
#

vet is brain dead when it comes to survivability

forest scaffold
#

so a free 40% toughness no matter what

torn root
#

it has mad options for toughness interaction

strange sparrow
#

I mean Zealot Survivability are way stronger if you learn the weapon's moveset

idle dirge
#

I never really played zealot but iirc doesn’t vet have second highest toughness and hp next to ogryn

strange sparrow
#

which is surprising easier after Heavy Evis got buffed

#

and you need toughness when fighting in melee fight

vivid bolt
forest scaffold
vivid bolt
#

Order for it is uhhh

forest scaffold
#

Ogryn, Zealot, Veteran, psyker for HP

strange sparrow
vivid bolt
#

Ogryn > Zealot > Vet > Psyker i think

forest scaffold
#

Ogryn, Veteran, Zealot, Psyker for toughness

torn root
#

and you can stack on top of it

vivid bolt
#

whats the max for vet?

torn root
#

LMAO

idle dirge
strange sparrow
#

And Veteran Class have a really fucked up Tree that require a lot of investment

frank ether
#

if you're running deadshot your vet will be more or less as squishy as psyker if not more

torn root
#

VET STARTS AT 100 TOUGHNESS

#

like what?!

#

THEN zEALOT AT 70

#

Psyker at 60

idle dirge
#

Ogryn has lots of nodes for toughness that might bring it above vet but I do think vet has higher base, I don’t remember

torn root
#

Ogryn at 50

forest scaffold
frank ether
#

psyker builds dont have to build stamina curio so they can just stack 2 toughness 1 hp

forest scaffold
#

That said, ogryn can get 230 toughness

vivid bolt
#

Base its higher yea

frank ether
#

on vet you tend to throw 1 or 2 stam curio for deadshot

forest scaffold
#

give or take

#

with 330 HP

frank ether
#

some do 3

#

but thats madness

vivid bolt
#

I think typical builds will get zealot at a very close point to vet

forest scaffold
#

and >90% damage reduction depending on selected talents otherwise

strange sparrow
idle dirge
#

I put 3 health curios on my ogryn doggokek

forest scaffold
#

2x toughness 1x stamina is my goal for veteran

strange sparrow
#

Zealot get into an insane Toughness Damage Reduction

forest scaffold
#

for now I'm just running 2x toughness 1x hp

frank ether
terse idol
#

Wait wait

strange sparrow
#

especially when you build crits

frank ether
#

effective hp is higher due to certain talents

terse idol
#

I thought ogryn had toughness DR nodes

torn root
frank ether
#

since you can literally regen hp

#

and deny death

terse idol
#

Unless you're going out of your way to like

#

Take every single +Toughnes

vivid bolt
frank ether
#

I've had a lot of games on zealot where I just kept going on like no hp forever

terse idol
#

You'll still have the most toughness with vet

strange sparrow
#

The only way Zealot could die is probably CD invulnerablity + overhead

idle dirge
vivid bolt
#

vet has max uhhhh, +65 toughness from the tree

#

but its unlikely to get that

terse idol
#

Assuming you take every +toughness and toughness talent nodes

frank ether
#

taking both +25 is an odd build

sonic marlin
#

hey, came here to ask for a meta build or whatever builds are good, i'm guessing they mostly synergize with the weapon too?

forest scaffold
#

I take both 25 on veteran and ogryn

torn root
strange sparrow
vivid bolt
strange sparrow
#

I haven't seen Veteran Tank Build yet

frank ether
forest scaffold
#

its easy to do on veteran too

#

you just don't get +30% weakspot damage or +25% ammo

torn root
vivid bolt
#

I mean, the +25's are in here

strange sparrow
#

Can't believe you aren't getting the damage

idle dirge
#

I’d rather die before not taking +30% weakspot damage lol

strange sparrow
#

in scoreboard farming simulator

forest scaffold
#

yeah, and I exclusively run swap swap on veteran

terse idol
#

Very possible

strange sparrow
vivid bolt
#

with a 9 point investment to get both for both 25's

terse idol
forest scaffold
#

you don't even need that

strange sparrow
#

it's okay

forest scaffold
#

you just need elites

frank ether
forest scaffold
#

and confirmed kill

terse idol
#

If youre going TANK

forest scaffold
#

and exhi takedown for dr

terse idol
#

You're taking born leader

frank ether
#

except you dont spam crits like a zealot does

forest scaffold
#

you're invulnerable if you're not getting meleed

terse idol
#

Because of glory hunter

frank ether
#

but maybe have a bit more ranged power

strange sparrow
#

3 toughness at a time gaming ✊

vivid bolt
#

this has to be one of the most braindead convos

terse idol
#

Well

vivid bolt
#

cause every class can get into the 150-250 toughness range

strange sparrow
#

We be balling out of Hadron with 3 Toughness

idle dirge
#

I kinda forget what the current topic is

terse idol
#

Assuming you take every +10 coherence toughness share

torn root
#

its brain dead

terse idol
#

Which is like 2

vivid bolt
#

250 is just a fuckin even number i used so seethe abt it not being actually acheivable

forest scaffold
terse idol
#

Glory hunter can do soomething

vivid bolt
#

im not doing the math rn for it

forest scaffold
#

HP is kinda pointless except for bursters

#

and with VoC being what it is

#

even that's not really useful

torn root
#

200+ toughness is unnnecessary as fuck too ngl

terse idol
torn root
#

when you could be at max toughness easy

vivid bolt
#

200 toughness is life saving on most things

forest scaffold
forest scaffold
#

more toughness is always better

vivid bolt
#

It makes you able to take 2-3 hits before significant damage is done

strange sparrow
#

VoC > Burster anyways

torn root
terse idol
#

Or ogrn but ogryn has more toughness damage reduction

strange sparrow
#

no ChipDamage

torn root
#

i dont get the point of that response

terse idol
#

In the tree

torn root
#

lmao

vivid bolt
#

or tank entire sniper shots on ogryn

torn root
#

take no chip instead of less chip

forest scaffold

no one is doing 0 damage runs on damnation+

#

ARE YOU JOKING?!

terse idol
swift ingot
strange sparrow
dusty sluice
#

suggestions?

forest scaffold
#

so chip damage is always relevant

strange sparrow
#

VoC override PoxBurster Damage

#

it will always left you with 1 toughness

forest scaffold
#

and crushers

strange sparrow
#

Yes Yes Yes

#

a lot of stuff that VoC override

forest scaffold
#

and bulwarks, maulers

strange sparrow
#

Overhead is not a threat if you just VoC

idle dirge
forest scaffold
#

the overtoughness does giga DR for chip damage from ragers

vivid bolt
torn root
#

literally got overwatch 3 days ago in auric lmao

strange sparrow
idle dirge
#

Pretty sure poxbursters would leave you with corruption even if they didn’t do direct health damage, normally

torn root
#

completely possible to take no damage in even auric and be at max toughness all game

strange sparrow
#

As long you have Yellow Touhgness

torn root
#

bugging tf out

strange sparrow
#

Nothing hurt over it

fossil basalt
#

Saying VoC will always negate _ in any real combat scenario is probably untrue anyways

sleek minnow
#

What 2 perks should I get on plasma ?

terse idol
torn root
#

yellow toughness even stop crushers from bleeding through

forest scaffold
#

in practical application

strange sparrow
forest scaffold
#

VoC does just outright prevent all of that from happening

#

its stupid and shouldn't function that way

sleek minnow
dusty sluice
forest scaffold
#

knockback plus more toughness is fine

strange sparrow
#

I watch as my discord get pinged 2000% times

forest scaffold
#

completely preventing damage is not Sitgryn

frank ether
#

why did you nearly die on your video then KEKW_ogryn

strange sparrow

#

get a helbore mk 3

Don't even need IronWill

mk1 has a fast enough fire rate that surgical doesn't make sense.

sonic marlin

anyone willing to help me O_dogeshy

strange sparrow
#

Yellow Toughness have different coding with it

frank ether
#

please dont do helbore without surgical

actual troll advice

or we dont care about crits on helbore now ok

you know what I'm not even gonna like

#

#

I'm just gonna take a nap

forest scaffold
#

just not the 1

#

it pew pews

#

lean into that

frank ether
#

mk2 is the fast one

forest scaffold
#

its osbs make it ammo efficient anyway

#

so uh

#

is the mk1?

strange sparrow
#

Yellow Toughness just straight up neglect anything that would normally fuck your toughness and chip into HP

forest scaffold
#

Have you used it with onslaught?

frank ether
#

mk1 is the middleground

strange sparrow
#

For Example, Overhead Crusher

terse idol
forest scaffold
#

Its definitely fast enough that surgical slows down your DPS

frank ether
#

yes, its still better to have surgical

forest scaffold
#

on a gun that doesn't need infinite ammo

strange sparrow
#

So really, you would have skill issue if you can't win with VoC

forest scaffold
#

you're already ammo positive with survivalist

frank ether
#

you still get a benefit for staying in ads

vivid bolt
strange sparrow
#

as VoC allow you to regen those +50 toughness

idle dirge
frank ether
#

%10-20 even if you shoot fast

forest scaffold
strange sparrow
#

I tested it, and I could effectively keep VoC up 44% of the time without killing special or getting psyker CD stuff

vivid bolt
#

me when people dont understand how toughness works so they are saying wacky shit

terse idol
# sleek minnow

Low SP sucks, but you should get rid of critical strike chance for +unarmoured imo

#

Or if you run long shot, then get +10 elites

terse idol
#

test your breakpoint on Dredge gunner BP

sonic marlin
strange sparrow
#

as VoC is 10 Seconds and Based VoC CD is 30 seconds, I take Ability Regeneration so it's alright

vivid bolt
#

could do a Rashad/IAG build

terse idol
#

I think everyone takes ability regen

sleek minnow
vivid bolt
#

VoC

strange sparrow
#

I doubt any other stuff matter because how strong is yellow toughness

sonic marlin
vivid bolt
torn root
#

Bonus Toughness is crazy

terse idol
strange sparrow
#

Zealot Chorus have problem because it's not regenerable

#

I don't really fuck with Chorus that much anymore

terse idol
#

There are gonna be alot more dredge gunners than crushers in any given mission so I value +unarmoured and I firmly believe that you should meet this Breakpoint without Longshot, but its not bad if you run longshot

#

It just means you need to meat that minimum distance (which isn't difficult)

vivid bolt
#

fuckin love forgetting my vet build

torn root
terse idol
#

If you take +elites you can also get abit more damage on other enemies too which is why it's pretty good too

strange sparrow
#

Based CD also pretty bad with Chorus at 60 Seconds

torn root
#

i know ppl tell me to stop whining about chorus but im not gunna

terse idol
#

Not that I think it'll change BP's but I haven't done tests on that

strange sparrow
#

So I only use Chorus when I want to play as a support Zealot

sonic marlin
forest scaffold
#

which is infuriating

#

half the enemies ignore the stun/suppression mechanic now

#

because people were pushing bosses off of ledges

untold hornet

Blame Josh

you can still get bosses to fall off of ledges no?

And you're gonna be choosing to headshot maulers

frank ether

I didn't say impossible?

terse idol

Which is why carapace>flak

strange sparrow
frank ether
#

pointless to sacrifice everything for toughness

vivid bolt
torn root

eeh

most vets dont run deadshot

and a lot of ppl like toughness

mfs be sitting on zero stamina, zero hp, no stamina/block efficiency, no deadshot

you will see a chunk of people running around with 15% toughness curios

That's wiild

Doesn’t matter what’s best, use whatever’s the most fun / comfortable to kill with

torn root
sonic marlin
torn root
#

you also have people telling them to focus weird shit

sleek minnow
#

What does this need ?

strange sparrow
#

having more grenade imo is better

torn root
#

YT personalities also like to tell players to focus 12% CDR for VoC

#

i will always say no to that

frank ether
#

I'm also not dropping precision or %25 ammo for the second 25 node either

torn root
#

3.6 seconds off of VoC isn;t that good

frank ether
#

some builds I can grab both

#

but usually not

stuck gorge
strange sparrow
terse idol
frank ether
#

worth the trade off to make veteran feel like veteran and not just different zealot

torn root
#

the 12% doesnt even really change the amount of kills you need for the reset

strange sparrow
#

it's IAG build, You don't need focus target

#

Because Onslaught just so good

inland orchid
terse idol
#

I just have like Exe stance, focus target for my iag build

stuck gorge
torn root
#

actually its not wrong, sometimes focus target feels like over kill

terse idol
#

Cause funny

strange sparrow
# torn root OY?!

Nope, I will not give a fuck to whatever people say about Focus Target

untold hornet
#

This is my Rashad/IAG build @vivid bolt but then again , I know nothing of Veteran and just play like my Zealot

strange sparrow
#

Nice TTK but it's ew to remember to ping

torn root
frank ether
#

Idk there is no build iag wouldn't synergize with

torn root
#

chill lmao

terse idol
#

I think focus target for an IAG aint bad

frank ether
#

you can use whatever keystone with iag

torn root
#

i use focus target not for the damage

vivid bolt
#

@sonic marlin this is the melee vet build that I run currently

strange sparrow
#

He didn't take Onslaught whatthefuck_heresy

Was there something Im missing from this Talent Tree

torn root

NO ONSLAUGHT

#

FOR COLUMNUS?!

im gunna barf

terse idol

Also, Go right side and pick up Onslaught over other stuff because Onslaught allow you to kill Crusher with Columnus

frank ether
strange sparrow
frank ether
#

it could probably still do it with %10

but gonna take a lot of ammo

vivid bolt

Crushers dont threaten me so

I would take Krak too but Shredder is more popular these days

So in general, point people toward Shredder until they have problem with Bulwark/Crusher

Gonna say it

i don't take onslaught when i rock columnus either

#

Melee is your love in this game

But a krak might take out 2 of them

#

Yes it is

#

i just use a power sword or a 12chaxe

terse idol
#

Buuuuuuut

#

I dunno

#

Theyre both valid

strange sparrow
#

I wouldn't recommend any new/leveling player taking on Psword

because how grindy it is

You can try

i am loving the hellbore mk2 stab, and overall speed, but i am missing the consistent damage from mk3 xD

Oh my god, my BM isn't 15%

strange sparrow

Everyone have their way to deal with Crusher/Bulwark nowadays

#

Just try anything and tweak accordingly

torn root
#

PSword actually has a divergent blessing issue imo

terse idol

That's literally my fire team aura crusher BP difference

onslaught seems like a waste of points to deal with specifically crushers

torn root

the 1-2 blessings on PSword completely changes how the weapon plays imo

wooden lotus
#

at least knowing vet with melee can just blitz crushers with like 5 weapons

strange sparrow
#

I mean yeah, But I like to shoot crusher in the face

strange sparrow
#

instead of getting into his melee range

wooden lotus
#

i understand that

frank ether
#

I'd like to see how you d.claw a pack of crushers tbh KEKW_ogryn

thorn plinth
#

btw, does all the melee nodes in talent tree, work on hellbore stabs?

frank ether
#

sounds like a fun time

strange sparrow
wooden lotus
#

but running 2 points for columnus deletus on a rare enemy when i can just power-sword block-combo them is wasteful

terse idol

😌

ive seen vids of people parrying a rager + crusher pack consistently

its fucking such a dopamine release

wooden lotus

Its just not ideal

torn root
#

sometimes just shooting the guy is safe especially in stacks tho

wooden lotus

yeah that's a fair argument

strange sparrow
#

Thing about Veteran is, it depend on people’s playstyle

stuck gorge
#

oh yea does field improvisation talent affect your teammates or only yourself?

wooden lotus
#

every crate/pack you or anyone puts down, ever

terse idol
#

So your teammates too

thorn plinth
#

@strange sparrow was thinking about all the others, if its worth going more heavily into the melee perks as i end up stabbing more than shooting

wooden lotus
#

even while you're dead actually

it's funny

Its a straight buff to the packs

Just bad if 2 vets take it

DClaw, Rashad, Power Sword are all very good options

Dclaw is me self handicapping myself

power sword mk6 is second place

but rashad is dumb good on vet

I put everything below Psword and Rashad rn tbh

All the guns before max level feel terrible

forest scaffold

since it naturally reaches bruisers breakpoints with 10% melee damage and flak/unarmored

They have the worst stats in the game

Columnus without blessing us fuckin autistic

Headhunter autoguns have a huge discrepancy in recoil depending on the stability roll

I don't know if you remeber

I fuckin hate how Naming Scheme is in Darktide thou

How hard it was to control an early iag

But oh boy

What the fuck is columnus Agripinaa Zorona

They also had damage mods of like 5

Yes early iags have 10

Some of our worst iags at level 30 have like 40 or 50 still

tall torrent

like actually?

strange sparrow
#

Especially when you start out on the game, it's so difficult to know which gun is good

torn root

i think its just for flavor

strange sparrow

dry knoll

I mean it's not like real world weapons are Saying "3 shot burst rifle, 5.56 chamber, Bullpup" as their names. It'd be a bit odd.

terse idol
#

Most gun names are just like the creators name

tall torrent
#

They’re like the easiest to use weapons by far

strange sparrow

and futhermore, it have tooltip telling you what it does

Infantry AutoGun, what does that mean FatShark

And maybe the calibre

#

Ump .45

Does that mean all these gun shoot fast

What is an m3

which games show what the guns do or what they are for pre-gameplay?

Also my last CoD is Mw2 and Battlefield is BF3

hollow ibex
#

the game definitely could be clearer on the intended role of each weapon

terse idol
#

I mean

torn root
#

because thats an umbrella and the play different based on what they were actually meant for

terse idol
#

Its fairly obvious

#

Sometimes...

strange sparrow
#

I mean BattleRifle, you would assume it's single fire already so...

torn root
#

like you have close ranged assault rifels

terse idol
#

Like

hollow ibex
#

i was very confused when i first started

strange sparrow
#

it's pretty easier to recognize them in other games....

#

compared to darktide

terse idol
#

When you shoot the gun a few times you can figure out what role it wants

hollow ibex
#

so many different marks

terse idol
#

Vraks 7 semi auto

#

Loud

torn root
#

battle rifles can be used as single fire or modded for close range engagements

tall torrent
#

Battle rifles are select fire

torn root
#

^

#

even in cod

#

you get to the point where battle rifels are just heavier assault rifels

#

it doesnt tell you shit

#

lmao

strange sparrow
#

I would disagree so because I don't have the problem selecting a weapon most of the time in COD, even in some genre that can't use the same weapon's name

#

it's way more overwhelming in Darktide Weapon selection compared to Other game

terse idol
#

If I want to be pedantic, new cod also let's you mod guns to a point where they're intended use gets very muddled

#

It's a mess

torn root
#

i mean you also have close to long range in each category too

#

not even just a battle rifle thing

terse idol
#

And uh smgs somehow beat assault rifles in all ranges

torn root
forest scaffold
#

but the mg12 is just better than it in uh

#

every single way

terse idol
#

Hmmm

#

I think the vraks 7 could do better into crushers with rending

strange sparrow
#

I also hope they went with VT2 Naming Scheme with the Psyker Staff

tall torrent
#

Vraks3 is different tho

strange sparrow
#

Because I do not know what the fuck is Void/Surge/Purg staff is in the earlier days

Purg is like

Kinda intuitive

Like oh fucking uh fire

Surge is like lightning

What the fuck is a void

that's not intuitive at all

#

Yeahhh

torn root
#

a surge can be a surge of anything

strange sparrow
#

Then there's Columnus IAG and Columnus Braced Gun

#

Which further confused me

terse idol
#

Braced auto guns and iags are

hollow ibex
#

bruh

terse idol
#

I mean if you want to get picky
Smg vs carbine

strange sparrow
#

The game does a very very shit job in telling you what gun does what

terse idol
#

But iags don't exactly seem like smgs

torn root
terse idol
#

cause they certainly fire a larger round than a pistol round

strange sparrow
#

also I would blame Blessings System that make the gun functional or bad

sonic marlin

#

If no one use PowerCycler on Psword when you start out, you just be like

This is trash man

I still think that power cycler just needs to be removed from the game

This is why I would wait until max level

full stop

#

fuck people who ground it out

tall torrent
forest scaffold

just remove that shit already

But buying a columnus now isn't a bad idea

Boarderlands solidified that game concept

AK is more like the braced autoguns

forest scaffold

650/800

#

and whatever the graia is

#

I havent used the graia IAG in ages

tall torrent
#

Agripinaa 1 is really slow at like 461rpm
Graia 8 is at 600rpm
Columnus 5 is at 800rpm

but they're all, graia/columnus/agrip, definitely just "Standard shooty shooty bang bang"

#

only way to tell is to count it out

forest scaffold

so. . .

ump45, ak, m4

torn root

using frame data

do it 🙂

forest scaffold
#

Granted, the UMP45 I think is actually 400rpm

#

not 461

but close enough

strange sparrow

They could had categorise the gun better

Or sort them accordingly

torn root

but this is fatshark

dont expect too much so early

They didn't exactly explain many dlc weapons in v2 this is just a level of like
