still no surgical for mk2, but got this promising mk1 (changed infernus for onslaught) not sure on which perk to change tho (not good with knowing breakpoints)
Just wait until you’re lvl 30 to start investing in weapons
I would recommend these 2 weapons https://darktide.gameslantern.com/weapons/sword-power/munitorum-mk-vi-power-sword
We can’t even get through malice without it being 50/50 and my biggest problem are the daemon hosts like 1 shottig me
you should not be waking demon hosts up
The way volatile works though, ev does make your uncharged shots slightly faster also
there's always a route that you can take to run around them
if you have bolter you just need something that can probably deal with hoards in front of you
Don’t trigger a DH lol
Treat demon host like witch l4d2 but as a tank
stop fighting those
you are supposed to avoid them
at least that's what I've read
Unless you need the achievement
I thought the daemon hosts were supposed to be fought lol
your characters even hint at avoiding deamonhosts
or if your ogryn has a shield and can tank it indefinitely with the special, but even then there's no point to fighting one of them
Nope, DH give you absolutely nothing and should be avoided
There’s 0 reward and always a path to avoid them
If you do want to fight them, have one of your ogryn get a shield
Oh fuck lol I always get so excited and take it as a challenge
not 100% worthless
the characters will activley tell you to leave it alone or go around it
FS give us loot from boss kills like in Vermintide pls
Or psykinetic deflector psyker
I'll always kill Dh on my zealot
You only realistically have to kill a DH once for the penance then it’s just killing them to save your teammate who goofed
if your team messes up you could try to fight it
generally i let them die, because the corruption isn't worth it imo
a mistake is a mistake, just mitigate imo
thinking you need to kill the monstrosity that doesn’t attack you
free contract progress tho
I was thinking of just gunning it down
I.. certainly wouldn't force a DH on auric damn
its a waste of ammo if you guys don't actually kill it
Sometimes it makes sense to wake one up in a controlled way if its in a really bad spot, beats waking it up accidentally in the middle of some shit and wiping the run

You could also parry the DH with DClaw lol
so the ppl who gun at it when they get their kills
Yeah
Okay on auric damn might be a bit different but I can legit kill em in two swings
But its also a little goofy
now have less ammo and probably took a lot of corruption
Especially if you can get a shield ogryn on something to take hte tank
You can Parry it forever as long as you have a medikit that can heal corruption
it's easy to line up the first headshot as she's rising
Field improv talent is shining rn fr fr
then I can kill her before she finishes the cuff break animation and does the first teleport
one day ill devote a few hours to DH parry practice
Can THammer still one shot or have they nerf the DMG on shroud field?
shroud should be able to 1 tap
Yea
i think she has less hp than a BoN and shroud hammer leaves those with like 1% hp
Shroudfield thammer is like the most impractical build ever but yea u can one tap with it
again why I prefer chastise, with two charges and a strong hammer it's basically the same as shroudfield but in smaller installments so it hurts less if I fuck up something
which I do a lot
Are you fragging serious?
ooh they all have he same hp, maybe the guy i saw just didnt have good damage roll
I'm somewhat confident helbore could nuke DH in a reasonable time if its head wasnt bobbing around so much
DH is just a stupid enemy
Some zealot with chastise hammer would attack the DH. We could've completely skipped her. But nope. Wanted her dead. We lived and killed her quickly with him. He did it again at the next DH
everything about DH design is stupid
just another obstacle in the way
Wanna express your frustrations?
Nah DH good...until they are in a position where she's probably completely unavoidable
Uh... is this a buy?
suffer not the heretic to live
🤷♂️
If I know I can handle her myself and take maybe one or two swipes then yeah imma cave in a heretic skull
corruption is proximity based no?
Yes. Replace power cycler with IV PC and melee damage to something else.
Maniac?
do you think I can shoot weakspots on DH?
Flak to Carapace
i think I see what you're trying to say though
she'll kill the idiot who woke it and then kill another person
thats the dumb part
just make her kill whoever woke her up
outside of some specific team comp there's little reason to mess with her
its an IQ test that also kills someone else along with it
Should I just replace both perks? If I do, I can't change PC3 to 4.
good thing I main thammer zealot so this is not a problem I'm familiar with
Dealers choice. You already do a lot of damage to maniac
now, where's that red crayon I was eating
just change flak to carapace
i can actually vouch for elite damage on powersword
probably the one weapon its useful on
2 taps everything
Crushers and maulers are elites yea?
the elite damage is actually just a flex bonus for BPs
😎👍
you can take less damage on tree if you have elite bonus
yes
No that would make it a brick
always good
on veteran especially
Hmmm Thrust or Decimator any help?
you can just lean on gun more
Thrust for hammerblow
I personally would go for decimator
For easier horde clear
Or you can do uncanny for hammerblow
It depends on what you’re looking for and what you expect for the shovel
yeah, i was able to drop superiority complex because of my roll
If he didnt want it for that Hed be running a standard shovel
Shovels also struggle with horde clear
Mk3 does just fine with l1 h1
Standard is really good for horde clear
Its the best of its category
True
Fair
It's the best at it of the shovels
I just think having a blessing that would help with its weaknesses would help regardless
Not just specializing on one thing
well
Fair enough
it depends on what coverage is needed
Tbf, I shouldn’t be commenting on shovels since I don’t use them lol
I think he should look for breakpoints on big targets in the psykhanium
Thrust is 3 shot on crusher iirc
2 shot with limbsplitter
only BP that matters on those shovels is if you can 1 shot crushers
Uncanny is like thrust but more consistent
idc
Imo
if its not killing a crusher in 1 special heavy its a problem
Well its impossible to 1 shot with the mk3
It would ruin the point of using mk7 shovel
The thing is mk3 has a much faster recovery from the folding attack
we saw this earlier in chat
Well then thats a balancing problem
nah
thats what the shovels are degined to do
the folding ones*
Yeah but if mk3 does the same thing as mk7 but better its an issue
i think m7 is better ngl
How
Is supercharge worth it on a mk VI psword?
Flak to carapace is the worst advice I’ve seen in a while. Maulers and crushers are the only think with carapace. Flak and maniac or flak and infested for horde clear.
heavy move set
If both can one shot crusher which is the ultimate breakpoint besides monstrosities, but the mk3 has a much faster recovery?
so it can one shot crushers and the heavy moveset with thrust and uncanny strike is really good into hoards
especially hoards mixxed with specials
with the moveset thrust + limbsplitter is really good too
... its designed to lmao
Wtf is the point of mk7
CROWD CONTROL
Standard issue if thats what you want
Mk7s folding attack is atrocious to use on auric anything
why not have the Crowd Control with the damage to clear waves AND a special to kill Crushers
The recovery is so long it reminds me of connecting a revved attack with a chain weapon before the patch that let u dodge cancel it
I've been just fine with the M7, I honestly can't tell much of a difference between the two
Matter of preference i guess
I honestly kinda like the M7 more because it's way better at sweeping hordes
I do fine with the mk3
I just chain heavies with Decimator active and I basically can't miss
i never said it wasnt longer but that shit is barely even slow
you are buggin i dont think you shovel m8
and still the m3 heavy chain is ass, woop it has half the spec time
Mk7 is atrocious to use against a horde of big targets
Which comes at you every 5 minutes in high difficulty
heavy with uncanny
do you even know how rending works with relentless attacks?
why the cc is so good?
Mk3 you slide in n out of the folding heavies killing everything
yes special and entire hoard....
1 at a time
Im talking about packs of ragers/crushers/ maulers
Mk7 struggles in those situations with that slow ass recovery and im speaking from experience
uncany heavies
despite how mk3 can dunk on those heavyweight elites, I miss the hoarde clear ease with the standard munitorum shovel

still wonder if you even know the interaction
Shredder nades alleviate the mk3s lack of horde clear if needed
Then its a matter of preference like i said
Hab Dreyko scrubs out in full force today. Jesus Christ
“Let me sit in a corner in last area and just kill stuff and not play objective.”

I got shit talked even after I clutched the end for the team, unreal
didn't do enough damage?
just rolled power cycler on my power should i pair it with supercharge or sunder?
Brutal momentum
Brutal Momentum if you want to kill waves
Sunder if you want to do more elites pack stuff
BM is good if you could hit heads so ye
If you have Brutal Momentum that has the best mix of wave clear and elite killing, supercharger is mainly just special/elite killing imo, and sunder is exclusively wave clear
interesting thanks guys
Supercharger is redundant because PC6 Push Attack into light swing with Energized kill Crusher
Yea mostly
Some variant could be changed on uncanny depend on personal playstyle
not without supercharger or Brutal Momentum you cant 2 tap crushers with push combo
thrust bm works too? like the ogryn shovel
Oh no, I was top of every category.
I just ran off to scan 3/5 obj while they dicked around getting trapped and downed. Came back and untrapped ogryn and revived the others. Then the guy talking shit got downed on the run to the extraction.

I don’t remember that being a problem when I run +25% cara but I’m not in home to test that
Especially if you took +30% weakspot
At 80 Damage and 80 finess PSword needs either Super Charger or Brutal Momentum 3 with 25% cara and a min investment of either precision strikes or desperado [paired with Take it down in some cases] to 2 tap
It works but thrust decimator does bettee
Better
i stayed in the lab too long testing
apperantly when im downed getting healing will make the tick damage taken go down faster
i placed 5 healing in meatginder
oof
Giant Laspistol.
hmm riposte sounds like it would synergize with reciprocity really well
except melee vet doesnt really have anything other than exploit weakness for critting
I highly advise uncanny
Even at past 100% rending it's still 6% damage per stack at t4
if hadron wills it
I normally prefer power blessings
except knife has really gimmicky ones
oh you know what nvm
I already have uncanny IV
unlocked
ok that makes my life easier
WHUNK WHUNK WHUNK WHUNK WHUNK
GET STAGGERED GET STAGGERED GET STAGGERED
Are there any auric viable autoguns? The columnus MK V looks pretty neato
I think all of them are auric viable
which perk would you change?
(repost, sorry)
just did carnival on knife veteran paired with graia braced auto
which I'm pretty sure is the worst one
mK v is the best
ranged weakspot to flak
and keep elite
and you got a sweet gun
well it looks like if you have perfect 80s WITH Brutal Momentum 3 [+10% ELITE +25% CARAPACE] you can kill them with just one of any of the major damage nodes [Take it Down, Precision Strikes, or Desperado]
if I had BM4 i would only need 1 too
Do you mean IAG's or all autogun families?
It was buffed recently, it's better now.
time to farm a NEW SWORD or wait until MELK BLESSES
yeah I've been doing the crouch brace meme and its kinda decent
Melk was actually useful to me tonight lol
but still veteran synergy with brauto is awful
Graia uniquely has a tightening spread after firing for a certain duration
thanks ^_^
i am terrible with breakpoints xD
Oh tru. IAGs
but I'm somewhat certain you can one shot flak ragers
i can do that i have the second slot free

i have full auto mod going hip firing this
CIAG is the standout for dps but both graia and agri perform well enough, they're better at longer ranges.
oy
its the pinnacle
🙂
It is indeed the highest dps automatic
the Church will not ALLOW such blasphemy
ugh why is onslaught so expensive to get
it does
the blessing?
The talent
remember exploit weakness
it was cheap on 2nd node
so easy
now it become melee
only
Onslaught Talent is expensive but also the strongest on automatic weapon
I'm one away from superiority complex and the only way to get it is to make the build less fun
be happy its not on a node right before a keystone
Because all automatic suck against Cara
Remember, rending also counters falloff from range!
Could fact check me but I’m pretty sure most autoweapon suck against crusher
dont need to fact check
You're correct, there's no automatic carapace shredder of any kind on the baseline
they suck ass vs carapace
good point! I already was running longshot but that just makes it better
graia brauto on crusher take while to kill
with onslaught
like 80%rounds spent in 1 mag

yikes....
Don't have any videos of that on me, but none of the brautos do particularly well against crushers even with onslaught
Brautos existence is cursed
only krak grenade does
It'll still kill just not that well
So with the mk V infanty autogun, is it better to run crit, or lean into dum dum?
even though it folds against crusher packs 
I run Deadshot Columnus
this is the only way to run it
would recommend, meme but not really
that doesn't sound like a bad deal. Do you also run opening salvo? I can see it working since the reload speed is fairly fast
shit slaps
They're not mutually exclusive. Dumdum is the best IAG blessing due to being bugged and using the code for anoint in blood from zealot.
Ah, yeah not gonna lean into that
CIAG should have the longest crit strings as the fastest firing variant.
Oh you don't even need superiority complex?
take it if you can
no reason to miss out on the damage if you could get it without saccing anything else
I wanna try to fit in both CK and ET since it's fun, but it's looking like I might only be able to take one
Deadshot is a particular playstyle though
Yeahhh it's fairly ingrained in me after maining revolver for a while.
And commitment to the bit requires particular curio setups
All my curios are set for it already lel
yeah
would recommend 2x +3 stamina curios
with 12% stam regen on all 3 curios
its useful outside of just using the gun
Good point. I run ability CDR, stam regen, and toughness regen speed because it works with CK amazingly well
Not great not terrible... but still usable
toughness regen should be coherency regen only
Really? I might've had a false positive then lol
yeah, its not bad though
Yeah, many people have asked about that
pretty much only on in between breaks
Try the mgIV some time, I've had a lot of fun with it recently
I've mained MG IV before I discovered the greatness of XII
Oh really ?
k12 has the best one shot potential but also the lowest overall dps
1a has the best dps and is a good middleground for one shots and more general usability.
I kinda wanna fully lean into the crit autogun and see how that goes tbh
mg4 is a slightly behind in dps compared to the 1a with the worst one shot potential
again its great
We need more Columnus brothers
Ia has great balance of damage and rof
Turn yo dps on king
MGIV is the smg of the Kantrael las
I was convinced by a vet last round who was able to take care of 6 ragers while I was reloading the revolver. Might just switch mains lol.
Never mind fellas I confused mgIV and 1a again
I'm using the 1a and am loving it right now
You might have it disabled in the healthbars mod, spawned units don't use the regular healthbars from the psyk
MgIV funny
Bounces too much for my taste
I'm making a mental note to just quit lobbies with 4 veteran from now on
Is spammy and funny
Can't really use the full firerate accurately
aaah there we go
Much better, now you can flex the dps
nope because i cant aim
Recoil build up wide so I aim down sight to reset the recoil sway
I use hip firing
With full auto mod on is fun to play with
All the infantry lasguns bounce an unreasonable amount imo, even with deadshot/max stability/exe
Not meta just fun to shoot and spam
Really been enjoying the Hellbore since somebody told me that I really don't let surgical stack fully
No we don’t
hmm which blessing do I sacc for rending
Fs won’t know CIAG is op
i just dont track this late in the day, uses too many braincells
If no one play it
I mean spread the love no?
Just stand right below it and aim into its head
Plasma and powersword complain go brrrr
Foolproof method

@strange sparrow aren't you also a plasmahater ?
Power sword and CIAG? Hit them in the stability department for being too viable fr
Recon complain
Leave the PSword alone!
Always
Infantry las, not autoguns
I hate Plasma and Psword
Someone else mentioned them bouncing a ton, which they do
I despite the game style
I feel like you just dislike everything that's good
Classic #veteran-class
This thing's performance really surprised me when I brought it into Damnation for the first time... and then we lost when my Ogryn teammate bull rushed off a ledge.
but hilarious that if it exists someone wants it nerfed
I like my CIAG
It’s stupidly fun and abusive
But require me to control some recoil which is alright
I dont think the recoil is that much
watch it ride up
I think I ran into someone aimhacking with an infantry autogun
“Some”
Uncanny mercy would probably be the best if you're running the bleed talent. If you don't want to run the bleed talent, switch out mercy.
could be more
they would kill specials 180 degrees opposed from each other
in the same fullauto magdump
Can someone help on this penance? I've been using the Executioners Stance build but it's not doing anything
I'm not but I could easily run it
already have the %10 melee damage node
I was playing mg12 for most of my first 100 hours but it just kinda falls apart once things get hectic
I do have CIAG on my psyker
just one point investment
It's required for mercy to function
I have no issues with my XII
I disagree, mg12 remains a premier "it just works" special killer
You have the extension node on ?
Also CIAG require a lot of talent investment (Onslaught and shit) to be good
sure it doesn't kill hordes and won't kill crushers but it deals with shocktroopers special waves
So I justify that
Today I will post it again
I mean
If I’m investing 15+ points into making the gun better, it should be better
And in that it just feels outclassed imo
No
just onslaught and rending strikes
the others are just icing
by what, plasma?
all you lose by not taking onslaught is carapace ttk
Post the No onslaught crusher gameplay
Hellbore
Don't think so
if you use melee to kill carapace you dont even need onslaught
Which take you a full mag dump and not kill
Mg1a
helbore is aids for special management because you have absolutely zero way to swap midfight
Acid Dog or Tanith?
It is too late, I am posting
My man out for blood for CIAG
of course there IS the stab bayonet but that has its limits when you actually need to push

That's what you need, you want to hit marked targets to keep exec stance up for at least 20 seconds
Bring the node that highlights all shooters
I just wanna have my P90 shooting 50.cal
Acid dog
i don't think the mg1a gets to one-headshot scab gunners
this gun requires big braincells
but I could be wrong
That's why you have a bayonet
CIAG doesn't require that much investment, since you can also just forgo the rending talents
Like I need both 30% weakspot and 15% elites from tree, and 25% flak, to one shot a scab gunner
like, they're nice to mitigate the ADM falloff, but it also basically doesn't matter because most things just run up to you, or you can run up to them
i don't think mg1a can do enough but I could be wrong
my brother in sigmar, what blasphemy did i just read?
I run my 1a with left keystone
I mean 10% rending isn’t a lot
left keystone would do it I guess but you have to give up so much for it
It’s just a nice to have thing
nah that shit actually makes a diff with long shot
and even at close range
I had a "what if" moment
at close range it doesn't matter besides for flak and cara because of the stupid >100% ADMs that columnus has that close
And tried a recon with onslaught on a crusher
It's more forgiving for general use and maintains fairly good one shot potential. Also has the highest overall dps of all infantry lasguns.
and I'm not shooting crushers with the columnus even with +26% rending
It’s not that bad as I was thinking tbh
either it oneshots or it doesn't
Atleast it kill crusher in one mag
WHY NOT>?!

and with this random mg1a I have, it doesn't, to the degree where I don't think 25% flak will be enough
but lemme roll it on
waste of ammo and i can 1-combo them with the mk6 psword
ammo that you gunna get back my G
The shocking truth of guns as we know them
thinning out 1-2 crushers at range is SOMETIMES the play but it's usually a massive waste of ammo
i like to spam my ammo elsewhere
Also I enjoy shoot crusher in the face especially they’re in a mixed hordes and packed like sardine
Then again I toss krak
we out here using no braincells frfr
So I can’t say much
yeah i do magdump them if they're mixed in with bulwarks
PS6 CIAG loadout
because holy shit are bulwarks extremely annoying
Definitely convinced that Melk was good to me tonight
hell yeah
Ngl im not taking this shit off till its nerfed
i run that meta shit
i found an mg1a with flak on it, gime a sec
i will always run the meta on any class I run so that I have an authority about overpowered shit
Also I stop using Psword because it make me play worse
and I can just pull out the "i ran this shit for 500 hours it's fucking op"
I just tried PSword because i wanted to see the hype
why submit yourself to the horrors of >1 braincell activity
wait, I'm not at full damage distance
Too much brain rot make me a dull man
yeah i can not give up the mk6
why does armor have to be so expensive, especially a helmet, cheapest one is 50000
Fun fact: Rending counters reverse falloff penalties as well
okay what nvm
now my mg12 isn't onetapping heads either
which is funny because I was just doing it in a game
i'm like 50 damage off lmao
Do you have temp damage boosts like comp urge
because its for the government and they cant have those prices low for buyers to compete?
idk im coming up with BS tbh
i spent an hour making an mg12 build that onetapped scab gunner heads so right now I'm a little miffed
you are about to hate me
lmao
Because it just make me play really really bad
well, i guess if you take left cornerstone you can take an mg1a since you'll get way more headshot damage
so im trying to get the helmet from doing the two penaces of mark for death and long bomb, mark for death was easy
and can afford a slower rifle
Like I forgot how to dodge, abuse I-frame and all the stuff
the Power Sword I have right now is the 3rd one I ever crafted
Because I just charge slide into chaos puddle of death
oh I'm dumb
you can still dodge with PSword tho
because I took off 10% rending
Why bother thou
yeah there we go
gotta love when you have 2 zealots on your team,, whenever someone opens a chest they spam take everything the second they can, no matter what it is
BECAUSE ITS A GOOD HABIT
Just tank it like a man because you get all the toughness back
that's why you forgot

lazy ass lmao
i mean yeah
The side dodges are absolute dogshit, gotta dodge backwards for any kind of real distance
they both end up with a medi pack, and when the team is in a rough spot with low health, they refuse to use them, since they are zealots working with low health,,,
yeah with the 10% rending node I get a oneshot
then i fuck up and charge at the wrong time
of course this ends up wiping us
1200 damage on scab gunner, but mg1a only does ~1050
i have high dpi i boosted it when i took up the weapon
so if i hear something behind me i legit flick to them then dodge
Are headhunter autoguns good? I'm committed to marrying Vraks 7
It’s good

oh
Vraks 3 and 7 work well but are overshadowed currently
It’s not the best meta gun but it’s a good weapon to have fun
mg12 can do it even without kill zone up
I tend to just handicap myself by playing New Chainsword/DC4 and Hellbore Mk2/V7/Columnus
wait, are you saying the agri headhunter is actually good
agri HH is the 9 I think
The agri headhunter is a disguised ship cannon
iight dont slander my 13g
If I took chainsword, it must be V7 or mk2
It’s a reverse kinda handicap
because from what I understand people liked either the vraks 3 for being a more consistnet weapon than the infantry autogun (massive ammo pool, lol) or the vraks 7 for one shots
they just gotta make the special not feel like ass
iight
I'm saying vraks 3 and vraks 7 are good but overshadowed by guns outside the line. I didn't mention agri because it's uh, well you know
The agri headhunter dealt like 40 stagger on a headshot, if memory doesn't fail me
Look, a lot of stuff in game right now is just overshadowed by the top performer which I call them bad
Because in the era of 40k, there is only blessing and 80-80-80-80-0
More like 80-80-80-80-50 cuz I ain't wanting no reduced dodge count
ppl should stop dumping mobility
Don’t say they aren’t bad, because Grinding Blessing and Best roll fuckin suck
lmao

After I learned that 50 is the breakpoint for dodges, I got muy saddo
I don’t wanna grind for a subpar weapon it’s that shrimple
🦐
that's fair
I will krill the Moebian Sex
Oh whoops, I forgot to ping. Just remember they're very precision oriented and if you aren't good with consistent headshots they will fall behind.
Just aim your gun at head level and you would hit your shots
Oh yeah I'm aware. I'm going full marksman despite the occasional urges to just magdump
vraks 3 wants deadly/HH last I checked, and 7 wants deadly/surgical
Which is better for Deadly Accurate, Surgical or Headhunter?
Except you’re playing Hellbore vanilla
I killed nearly 1.5x the amount of elites my team killed combined 
no
not you too
what
the scorboard plague!
I have always been a scoreboard whote
Yeah you want deadly/surgical on vraks 7
There's personal problem and then personal success
what are you talking about
Hadron on her way to brick your roll again (after giving you false hope)
Give you +25% Cara then forgot to give you any good blessing
Also 1.5 stamina
Running is cool right varlat
When i get this I dont ever roll past it
shit just counts as an auto brick
everytime ive tried it disappoints
Stamina seems to be weighted more highly than it used to be
I get it constantly now
Running is cool varlat
Speed is directly proportional to your devotion to the Emperor
Actually yes because just don’t get hit
you mean curios?
yeah
oh 100%
1 sec
Legit contemplaying not getting health on any of them
Usless ass stat
you have toughness for days
I still don’t understand the argument about health curios
I mean we have higher base HP and better curios return
But that also mean you get hit past toughness
Which is ew
im not calling hp ass
I’m calling HP ass
but stamina and toughness helps not take damage to it anyways
Also toughness damage reduction exist which mean toughness should provide better return no?
I've noticed newer players do struggle with staying topped off toughness wise, and so inevitable take health damage over time.
yes
yup
Some things do have large toughness damage multipliers though, like dreg stalkers for example
parrying is fun, I wish my recording software stops cutting off the sound at the end though
Or is it scab stalkers
then when they start taking stamina regen, guard reduction and maybe extra stamina they realize they dont need health anymore
I think it's scab stalkers yeah
both stalkers have large toughness damage multipliers patch 12 and before
The true Iframe
not sure if that was changed though
it's the scab shooters that didn't have the large toughness damage multiplier
I hope dogs are as strong as Rat Assasin (gutter rat)
spent 14 hrs trying to do long bomb, gonna try again tomorrow ffs
Is simple, throw grenade into sky
Use shreds
On weak melee chaffe
Big ole pack
i been trying that, 90% of the time teammates ruin it
Playing higher difficulty also help
Tell them in chat, unless you did
Because your team can’t kill fast enough
i did
Well there's no accounting for randos
I remember a heresy game around release where a whole ass rando squad I was in let the psyker take forever to get his "90% damage to boss kill" with his BB
And we covered his back
Everytime I die I swear it's two scab shitters stuffing a spiked club in my rectum
Nothing else ever kills me
Bruisers do a ludicrous amount of damage
Unless I get stuck on terrain
i love iron will for reducing the bruiser's ~120 damage hit to my toughness
Virus
Oh whoops, wrong file type
It's an mkv, not a virus
Video file that discord doesn't recognize
is that a reference to the columnus mkv !!!!
Hadron bricked my 80/80/80 mk12
no dog was harmed in the making of that clip :^)
Yes
ah damn they deal a bit more damage than i remembered
Both bruisers do that
I swear to lord these fuckers are the end of me
in case you aren't, i recommend dodging sideways instead of backwards against these fuckers
because their running attack is extremely annoying
Who is bruiser again
When I glued to my v7 having a somewhat erotic competition with a scab sniper and one of them starts getting intimate
The flak weak point twat?
the scab/dreg melee units
Yeah, melee units have a tendency of sliding towards you while attacking if you move backwards (or try to run away from them)
i think bruisers in particular have a running attack that tends to go rather far
Running away never works
Its the timing partially iirc
Yea they run and melee
Bruiser is a type like stalker, scab bruisers are armored and have unarmored heads, dreg bruisers are the opposite
i've gotten smacked a bunch of times by bruisers that suddenly run through a horde to fuck me up with a running attack
and I don't recall any other melee unit doing this
Oh I think I know who you talking bout
Melee chaffe unit
Crusher in Overhead animation also push up
that too
but at least crushers have an extremely short dodge catch so you can just spotdodge them unless you encounter a wall during your dodge
Moebian prank
So good luck shooting them because bulwark won’t be attacking you because you are dodging crusher overhead

Except you giga 6D chess it and bait Bulwark before hand
yeah if you can take a good initial engagement it's gucci
Dodge into a DH
but bulwarks + crushers are annoying as hell
do crusher actually do damage?
isnt it just a guarenteed knock?
unless you have bonus toughness
it does damage
just that human characters tend to not have the stats to tank it without some help
Overhead is almost a guaranteed oneshot unless you're caked up
I survived it with 198 and about -40% reduction
you can tank it on zealot with just Bleed for the Emperor for example
You need to be on very specific case scenario to take crusher I believe
Mauler overhead is easier from what I know
yeah i can survive a mauler overhead on my psyker, albeit with almost all of my health missing
well maulers i think you can tank easier
but i dont think ive seen someone tank a crusher without protection
without blocking*
blocking also doesn't help
Also does anyone get there weird moments when you headshot somebody, they flinch back with the crit sound, but there's no damage or visual marker
since it's a block bypass attack
No reg probably
Server issue
How is it not shooter's advantage in a pve game
gave boltgun a try after I got bored of plasma, it's not that bad
just the ironsight is shit
Modding
Because Darktide run on dedicated server
And that’s because Vermintide 2 complain
p2p suck stuff

Me : still play on NA server while being in APAC
Indie company
As a marksman roleplayer this pisses me off to no end
Sounds like you need to mark different men
Head tap the sniper
He returns the favour
Yep, hit reg. Very common issue, especially as patches go on longer because obesefish refuses to do server maintenance.
Think of it this way
yup
shit's cray
happening way too often
Fatshark was apparently very concerned about hacking in their pve shooter
Nurgle bend the physical space and reality to save his favoured sniper
Hence the easy anti cheat when the game launched
Their faith in nurgle was stronger than yours in the Empror
Also mean you didn’t use enough incense for your bullet
Which perks do you run for your vrakses?
flak/maniac
My current workhorse has +25 to maniacs and +10 weakspot
Does flak one break any thresholds?
i found out that vraks 3 with marksman focus works really well
10% weakspot is kinda ass sadly
if nothing else you kill maulers easier
I picked that over flak willingly because I didn't see a point for flak one, when I'm oneshotting all but scab rager
With deadly accuracy I tend to headshot them more
I guess
Just so you know, crit/weakspot damage works in a very strange way in this game and only applies to the bonus damage of the crit/weakspot hit
meat grinder testing doesnt line up for real gameplay for me
they work as expected
imma defend fatshark on that front
distance and marksman keystone are unreliable in game
man i swear plasma gun players have smooth brain
they affect their portion of the damage equation
I can't recall even a single game where crit damage modifies only the bonus damage and not the whole of the crit.
He said games
Pathfinder
wait what
League doesn't even do it that way,
anyways time to try this out
For league your crit modifier is a %increase of your base damage
the only things in league that affect crit are jhins passive and IE
and they only affect crit bonus portion
This is very unintuitive and needlessly complicates the equation
And bonus crit damage additively increases the crit %
Does pinning fire stack if I stagger the same enemy over and over? But I bet stacking on same enemy is slow cos it takes a while to re stagger it
MF should increase damage instead just finesse
Also in Pathfinder you increase the crit modifier by additional dice

There's a few more than that
well, rolling an extra die is not actually just a crit damage thing and still, crit in dnd and maybe pf2e are way more rng and benefitial than in eletronic games
oh?
They don't just kinda boost the existing extra damage of the crit, but change the modifier explicitly
thought it was just IE and jhin passive
So say the difference between regular and weakpoint is 200
+10 weakpoint damage would be +20?
Which still includes your base damage
It should be a 10% increase to 200, so yes
yes only on weak spots
God that's so ass
unironically the weakspot damage can be better and more benefitial than crit damage
thats fucked up
What about critical weakpoint?
It does more than either individually but not by that much
They both work in the same way, but usually weapons have larger weakspot modifiers than crit mods
only on weakpoint hits that crit
Is it compared to regular critical or is critical calcd over it?
?
Separate damage table
Shred is unusual in that it has matching crit/weakspot mods (mostly)
Yeah so here's there the point
Difference between regular and WP is 22, difference between crit and crit WP is 14
How much would +10% weakspot damage add?
Crit/weakspot really do work with how you read, problem being the modifiers for crit/weakspot can be ass and 10% to either is ass.
Tldr Crit dmg not that great because you get more from base damage increase which also increase Crit dmg
Yes, straight damage is universally just better.
+2 and +1 lol
I'm actually not sure how the individual elements interact with crit weakspot hits
So it's WORSE for best case scenario?
I'm sure they have decimals somewhere in there but it's never really shown
honestly i dont mind it being this way since we already have plenty of damage on our side, but having bait shit like +10 crit dmg/weakspot for perks is so infuriating
I need to test this
But like 1.4 is still as trash as 1.0
well 10% crit damage i dont think was meant to be bait
it just ended up being not as useful
Just 10% elites much better
This has 30% additional on both crit and WP and 50% on crit wp

Are you sure
its 1.3 ->1.4 lmao or it should be
1.3->1.03

This makes sense
J sat on these
NAH
Oh yea. Disregard I'm barely awake
I DONT LIKE THAT OPENING LINE DAWG
This was from before they changed rending btw, so that part will be outdated
Considering 15 marksman stacks are supposed to raise your ranged finesse 112.5% and your damage doesn't go to the moon makes me think 1.33 is the truth
MTG has keywords at least, better than yugioh
keywords than have an entire lexicon explaining how they work
have you seen the book that judges have to learn?
True, but it's better than having the lexicon printed on the cards 
NEW BUSTED BUILD 948 RANGED FINESSE(10% DPS GAIN)
Normal - 100
Crit - 150
Crit bonus - 50 x 10% = 5
Crit + bonus = 155
Not true for the weapon card someone posted
I haven't seen it but I did learn mtg somewhat recently, it's definitely a lot of BS to start
I learned about layers
whats mtg?
Magic the gathering
ahh
Mahjong the goblinning
it has a massive ass book
It’s uh the literal crit damage perk calculation smh…
with like over 1k rulings based on interactions
I think that was an abstract example and not indicative of that weapon
I mean interactions is what makes mtg fun
Explain then
Normal - 72
Weakspot - 94
Crit - 94
Crit weakspot 108
Let me tell you why turning magus of the moon into an ability-less hamster doesn't actually turn off its ability
Are the same bonus in that case
That's the weapon card without any bonuses. That's the weapon itself
Ah sorry
The crit and weakspot bonuses are added on the last one
If you applied the crit damage perk, it would be like
I see what you mean
Math. Not even once
YIPPEE
layers are fucking crazy lmao
Versus like
You need both a big modifier and a large amount of crit/weakspot damage to get any decent value out of it
shouldn't crit weakspot be 116 if we were just adding up the weakspot and crit?
Please fatshark. We need new math for the laws of the Darktide universe
no
because its its own damage table
oh jeez
yes
It's from a existing weapon card
What does veteran use to AOE dmg hordes? I tried grenade but seems I got to use all 3 grenades to remove most hordes, unlike psyker trauma staff I am used to.
its dumb that part is dum
MELEE
Shovel
I use mk4 chain sworde
Melee primarily, grenades are more for SHTF scenarios than casual clear. But if you take grenade regen you'll have overflow. Just be careful for when you need them.
Caxe works. PS6 works. Shovel. Stuff works if you got the blessings
Melee really shredders are more for making space
Even without the blessings. It'll just of course be better
Vet has no good mid-to-close range aoe weaponry besides shredder i guess. Need to melee.
I need to play less voc commando
I had a vet clutch me a near wiped damnation run by singlehandedly shoveling and entire horde an saving three people
Shotgun?
The actual addition is weird
Shotgun can work but shotgun are not great
no you dont
You have 3 different ones
Also you need some distance for shotgun
