I want a Hellgun, I need more dakka
what you guys think yay or nay ?
my most LETHAL and I’m talking DOME POPPIN build is ironically the revolver my zealot switches to for quick elite ranged kills before going back to melee, im a better vet as a zealot it’s insane
it is a one hit kill on most enemies in the game
First time playing after revamp
Poor squishy vet mains
I think lots of weapons could do with some tweaks, though none of them are SO bad that I'd immediately consider them trolling
Thats hella cute n wholesome, MADE MY DAY!
Though I personnally wish all ogryns used shields every time
Yes dear?
Reddit when the disabler kills you
Tbh just don’t get hit
as a melk purchase? nay, headhunters do not want crucian
Darktide have I-Frame
Just shoot everything
How could you even take damage tbh
Salvageable? damn it hadron
nah i upgraded it , was curious what would i get
I feel like yes?
Sometimes I have dodged into a sniper shot and depending on timing I got not damage
Not even joking
Why is "The disabler gets me I am squishy" an actual argument
You legit have I-Frame
Imagine not being able to OS crusher
Idk how many bullets per second the gun shoots so I'm just basing it off of the amount of bullets it takes
On average, for a Reaper with 10,000 HP
15 stacks MF needs ~24.6 bullets to kill
8 stacks FR needs ~27.5 bullets to kill
i don’t see the issue with this, keep maniac and BM
You need flak and unarmored perks unless you're taking a lot of melee damage in the tree and have high stats. Not sure if that cuts it. Also you want headtaker. You can supposedly do without flak with enough damage.

That sounds like not worth the talent?
That's good to know! Thanks
Weakest guardsman
You took the way with the average E-damage hp thingy
Yo..
I like that
This is fine
post sword
this a naive as shit sim, probably something is wrong somewhere but the ballpark should be right 
it’s useable but can’t be fully modified into a typical meta headhunter configuration
@wanton dawn post sword
You lose the damage once you stop tagging
Trapper nets and doges can be pretty BS still
Don't try this at home kids
@shut flax Here you go
At 40% it does better
disabler goes from 20mph sprint to 0 because a cadian roared
i am curious is there any shotgun builds for vet ?
Oh I agree
It's just funny that the man was telling me veterans are squishy cos they get downed if they get net trapped
Dog be 360º pouncing to your ass in the other room
who’s askin.
That's like
All the classes
Maybe wrong maybe right idk but I believe MF serve a purpose
excalibur....
Ogryn I guess 
Sometimes dogs don't even stop
It is a mod for testing in psy 
I get actually pissed when they go from running into an instant leap
Straight up just leap from the run
Rn my pain in the ass is Poxburster spawning from corners
When 9/10 times they stop
RIGHT
I'm not insane right
I have ascended beyond fear of Trappers

But Bursters are 
when a door opens and you get pounced the second the dog is visible
In any case, you need 8 stacks of focus target to reach OS on crusher so no, it is not reliable
Been snagged by a dog before and I swear that little shit was just a jerk
Ooooh nice
Tag with Redirect Fire needs like 28.5 to kill
one whole fewer bullet compared to not taking Redirect Fire
play what you want, but the vet doesn’t really have anything directly buffing a shotgun, most of our stuff is mid-far range
then again, this is very specific scenarios
What weapon? And I guess the keystones are bad on that one or just for that case?
you don't always get full 8 stacks ping, full 15 stacks MF, etc.
I wish we could buff our close range damage when shooting
Me with brauto just going ham
idk
they just gave me the number they got from Psyk
I think this is for Columnus?
15 stacks MF feels like a pipe dream for most weapons in the actual matches
Oh man, hadron got myself a present. Too bad it is a mk3 
I wish weapon spec would be like 3% crit per melee kill and then 5 full seconds of the full crit
Only a single guaranteed crit is so fucking weird
yeah
Like as it is, feels like a Talent just for Revolver users
also it varies wildly cause crit damage in this game is weird, literally case by case basis

So at least snipers get you some I-frames
everything have i-frame
Got hit at the end HAHAHAHA SKILL ISS-ACK dead
You just dont take damage even they're onto you
noted
Yea I skilled issued
gonna show that I also fail you know smh

Time to i-frame the Crushe----
Yes you can
dead
I just bought it and expected a brick 
I had done that multiple time kekW
I was mostly joking about mistiming it

you're a quarter way there bud
The fabled high base 370+ and a lvl 1 blessings
Here's me with the local wildlife
Its a monster
Almost guaranteed to have a lvl 4 blessing next
That blessing is just spitting on you
oh lol
Damn that flick
I can even switch to sunder if I want
Yeap, after i got my PCycle 4, the next 3 times i rolled i got 3x LVL3 Shattering Impact in a row for Plasma
There is no real reason that player should be taking damage
I-frame are stupidly generous in this game
My average damage taken with Vet is like
You are a human
Less than 200
Things happen
How do the damage mitigators on the defensive trinkets stack? If you get +20% resistance to bombers on all 3, is that 60% resistance?
I need to replay DS3
I think honestly that is one of very few scenarios where dog is actually threatening, I say let them have that little unpredictability just like a disease-ridden dog would 
I mean yeah, but people are arguing that Vets need to have better tanking stuff
“When does it end?” Hint:it never ends
It’s multiplicative
x0.8 x0.8 x0.8 = x0.512
I think is math bs so you end with 50ish

Yeah
And not blaming on skill issue
I just want consistency myslef
I mean they are squishy
I don't mind running jump dogs
That's really nice actually.
Tired of fire bomber area denial fucking me over
But when 80% of them stop
Because of dodge
Hhhh
Half damage would be really nice.
Technically everyone has infinite iframes with dodge
They do thou
I've had a game where I had to dive into the fire cos 3 bombers just flamed a corridor for like 20 seconds straight
It’s diminishing returns and I don’t recommend taking more than 2
Also bomber resistance is not good
Fuckin awful
Which mean that everything just boils down to down to skill
But most other classes have ways to reduce damage vet does too to be fair
I do lots of melee on vet with OG chord and it works pretty well, I feel like I'm tanky enough with 2x toughness and 1x hp curios
Why isn't it good?
Yes and we are not TaS computers
Or programs
Because it doesn’t reduce the flame dmg iirc
wtf? LOL
Or simply just want to argue
Just initial blast
the fire is the only problem
Well the context from what ya said was people were saying vets are too squishy
No it reduces the kick 🦵 from the bomber when u get close
You responded by saying people shouldn't be taking damage because iframes are so generous
tox flamers r worse then bomber flames imo
Thats all
Start here
Then we will talk about it
what an incredible trait that we would always see benefit from
Fine. 5% more toughness it is...
Okay fair enouugh
Just dodge duh 🗿 is not like half of atoma is attacking at you
For the perks on my curios i run toughness health corruption resistance and toughness regen
hol up
and block efficiency cuz i main dclaw
I want poxburster curio
SS13 meme 
I mean sure
One time I was desperately fighting a horde at 1 hit on my zealot, and a bomber that I dodged backwards into kicked me 
Bro definitely got an ego boost
See if u had that Bomber resistance now..
Now imagine how much damage you would have prevented if you took +20% Damage Resistance
yea LOL
Ikr
TO BE FAIR, I mean you can't dodge a trapper trap standing in the same place can you? @strange sparrow
You won't be able to dodge the net like you would be able to just use iframes against a sniper
Smh skill issue 
Maybe sometime Fatshark will add a Fire resistance curio
Let me check that
But fr it is a skill issue
And we can finally play the game without getting area denial'd for 15 seconds
I never test out trapper as I always fuck with them
Unless you over-dodge or get stuck you should be okay
Only enemie type that make me panic are trappers 💯
I probably need to wear earphone for this
nothings worse than hearing a trapper as soon as you slide and youre stuck in the animation until youre trapped
its like a full second of giving up
Those days when fire stopped instantly killing your toughness
Instead just instantly killing your soul
Classic Fatshark
Did you play CM back in the day?
Huh, so you don't really need Precision Striked (+30% weak spot damage) on a crit columnus
Or tgmc
Gotta love them pushing an update without testing
I liked when fires killed you in 4 seconds, atleast when it was only bombers
I played I think CM and another with less "canon" weaponry
Liked a bit more the second one, the first one Xenomorphs were too tanky
"see,t he sniper isn't actually attacking you, it's just the laser discharged from his weapon that actually damages you..."
Nahh no way
I seek more knowledgeable vets to answer this
tgmc is pretty great, I did some minor modding on it and added what I liked into the game.
I remember being captured by the Xenos, them not knocking me out correctly
Me with the radio and a coordinate designator
Shoot on my position lads, its been a good run
I will also ask zealot chat, they like knowing the behind-the-scenes stuff a lot
TGMC is fun, I just wish it had CM's playerbase
instead of TGMC's playerbase
if you know what i mean
nah 60 player tgmc is peak if it has 100, which it sometimes does, its a marine stomp because server lag sides with them and aim mode gives them a wall of bullets
Yea that's true
Bravo doing everything
Alpha just being there
Charlie was the wildcard
No I mean quality ofp layers, not quantity

Ooh the ss13 players vibing
I wish people at least tried to pretend it was still an RP game instead of just an arcade shooter
The thing about trapper thou is this...
I swear I saw ya... on the discord at least
I wouldnt know what youre talking about then, Im mostly a medic in both and front line marines are pretty bad at fighting
There's way better games out there if I just wanted to blast
The wise have spoken, sniper resist does actually help with the shot
like Darktide
I am waiting for SS14, because the engine of SS13 just was murdering my soul

are you saying the femboy brigade and grapist squad arent good enough for you
Just walk...
It's just gonna take a whiiile until it actually gets there
I think I may have been? not completely sure
Does the name Kiyoshi Caune familiar to you? 
But it could be the future
I figured it felt like less damage from a shot before after I put it on
Or people talking about Trump on the radio, unfortunately
Nooo maybe?
I dun remeber 
I was just Evelyn Phillips
havent heard that one, probably because Im too busy killing or healing to listen to anything but giant letters
That
Tooooo long since I touched any ss13
Go closer 

that name is familiar
At about 5meter or closer, you would need to dodge technically
Small world
Damn darktide bringing the CM homies
But their aggro range is so far that you could move away
Helll yee
Tfw i run slower than trapper 
Basically TGMC is a better game but the players are insufferable
The wise have spoken again, bomber resist ACTUALLY applies to the bombs now, they changed that a bit before class update if he's correct
Also once accidnetally getting lost behind xeno lines
and ended up accidentally duoing the Queen 
what's tgmc
Remember, don’t blame your team or your build if you fail a match
EAT PLASMA 
ss13 server
what the fuck is ss13 
Technically it’s your skill issue that lead up to that point
space station 13
Pure Undiluted Autism
We talking Kenshi levels?
The psyk is locally hosted, so you always have 0 ping and no connection fuckery. Actual gameplay can be much different (and inconsistent) and I've been netted doing exactly that in live matches.
Even more
what
Considering how the actions of that game works 
never heard of it
Good
I had those experience before
is that the actual name lmao
I've literally dodged, watched the net fly past me, and then got netted
Impossible. That's From the Depths level.
Yea
But I found the game punish me lesser despite so
I loved once getting a FaceHugger
Going to ship, getting surgery to pull it out
Wonder midfight why I am constantly losing blood
FUCKING MEDIC FORGOT TO CLOSE MY CHEST
since I play on NA more than APAC

dont join, most servers are burning with the amount of players and the ones without that many arent worth playing. Except eris
But if you mean you shouldn't dodge backwards then yeah, don't do that to nets
It happens certainly
i have zero desire no worries
the graphics looks like they are from the 2000s
That is half the fun
pretty sure therye older than that
i didn't know it was popular though
BYOND is such a shit engine
To be honest, Darktide enemy right now
Ss13? Popular?
i guess time isn't something that they can get byond
I don’t really respect any one of em

I mean its got 2000 players at all times its doing decent
do you know how many the binding of isaac has?
no but alot of AAA games cant keep that many players
I mean 2000 players ocnsidered the game rans like shit and is so fucking old
is pretty fucking good
yeah no it's respectable
its a 20 year old game
Single player/multiplayer vs a game with only multiplayer

I hope the game difficulty scale better with the quality of individual enemy rather than quantity of enemy
keeping 2000 players during weekdays
I am tempted to download BYOND again
tbf that is more of a case for isaac and against ss13 tbh
but goddammit I do not have the freetime
cause isaac has like 20k
Currently Auric Mael is just AI director wilding out
for 4 hour long sessions 
56% time dialation xeno chess
God that karking time a round lasted 3-4 hours
and the admins were like guys stop please
I beg you
Most cm rounds lasted 4 rounds sometimes
best fatshark will do is "oops all gunners/ragers"
I'm so confused 
I love rounds where I can die 5 times and still come back and make a difference
Either you hit the xeno speed run, marine speed run or everyone was stuuuck
The last ones are the best 
Welcome to SS13 lol
Oops indeed. But I'd rather take them instead of shooter spam
Also that time I did mortar duty
Most the shit u understand has already gone to the past
Like gunners are a lot less scary than shooters
MADLAD SL, getting the xenos boxed in
alright 2 hour rounds are hell as medic though, corpse piles everywhere 12+ people dead at a time with 2 people trying to do treatment
Ragers is a joke to me
I mean if theres gunners, theres riflemen
Get all the pills and lets karking go
UNGA
Much like irl, medical is understaffed 
by the throne one hell of a match. NO SURENDDER
My friend got so damn efficient in pulling people from death 
fatshark gonna nerf helbore stagger. I can feel it
Pull body, armor off, check injuries, treatment, good enough FUCK OFF
hypos save lives
Reddit say it need buff WDYM
ITS UNUSABLE LEGATE
Reddit says Bolter needs 2x damage UwU
you right, you right
Not having all your meds fully stocked
Lord forbid a runner hid in the ship
Fucking kills you
Fr
I'd much prefer the bolter didn't feel super clunky
I ended up being a cargo mule for my doc
always had a pouch for him to cram more meds

And that fatshark stopped balancing weapons with jank
I swear SS13 Colonial Marines was so damn intense
between danger close
scarily cunning xeno players
Also, you can double your damage with a shotgun 
and dumbasses in your own team
if I use up my 3rd pill bottle you know the rounds about to get bad
So the full auto mod is bugged for shotguns
Sometimes you can do double shots with it
And double your DPS 
the great part about tgmc is that everyone has their own drugs so its much more likely you just get killed than you run out of pills
Any sign of damage
Take pill

Well the silly part is either its gonna go bad or the marines are 1 or 2 steps from winning 
the worst felling in CM is being like 2 screens behind the front line treating bodies and you just see the queen with 4 t3s pull up on you and you know it was a full wipe
I think the moment I really sunk in CM SS13
Was with my friend guarding a door
for like an hour
a rando joined us
and we were just vibin and joking
And taking potshots at Runners

also another we doing the same
a mf dual handing 2 shotguns, passes, opens the gate and continues
"Where you going?"
Dude turns around.
"Unga"
leaves
walking around the middle with a slug shotgun and a friend just hopping a lurker comes to fuck around and find out
I still have no idea how tf once we 2v1 the queen

Xeno players were so malding on chat
mod88s thats how, I got the queen to run away solo using 2 of those, which by the way if you land all your shots within 1 tile will just straight kill her
the mosst useless broken gun
7 falloff
I did it with the energy rifle and the other had a machinegun? idk

Just constnatly shooting and backtracking
30 seconds after the kill half the map appeared and ganked us to death, not even capture
walls off your bodies just so the next queen can rip your head off

what game
SS13
CM ss13
The colonial marines servers were just peak gaming
war is hell
still can
i dont have the time to learn such a thing
Fair enough
its actually at a peak, some russian steamed it and added like 400 new players
and bby 400 I mean at all times so its probably more like a few thousand
games like that are a time capsule for early 2000s internet era
PRETTY MUCH
something about the endless creativity and freedom that you cant find often in modern gamign
If Im randomed into delta I stay with beta and pretend I got lost and dont want to go out alone
I was a fan of mostly charlie
and yes theyre called beta not bravo, but the grapists are indeed best squad
The emperor provides, now let's see how Hadron "improves" it
oh it was beta?
My mind was making me write beta, but I was like "no it should be bravo tf"
some people like to pretend theyre bravo but youre standing around the FOB all day because youre affraid to die, youre beta
Someone had to do it
Also shooting the mortar was surprinsignly fun
"142, 250. Copy"
"FIRING"
sneak a backpack full of booze down is the only acceptable way to play in the FOB
"Ready for next round"
Is this salvageable? 
I ended up making a few macros to use all expected generic quotes for mortar to inform the team when I could help
I mean its passable, replace all or nothing and crit damage
I guess you can empty your stamina on purpose 
Hadron takes another victim
just keep waiting on your god roll
probably thunderstrike or trauma and just play like a crusher zealot
maximum impact minimal damage
uncanny strike and thrust seem like the best blessings for it
i would keep All or Nothing over having thunderstrike, and crit dmg to Flak
Why did the robot lady do this to me?
She gains power for each grief she gives to someone
by end of the game lifespan, she will become the new Chaos god
sounds like some warp based power maybe she was the real traitor and ratted out of the other lady to cover the tracks
No kidding
and then said person was made into a servitor which is done by the mechnicus, likely hardron
oddly convenient eh?
PERFECT PLAN
Man, if I have a nickel for every maelstrom that starts like it was a melee only with only crusher mauler and scab, I would have 2 nickels, which is not much but it strange that it happened twice today
i don't vibe with melee mostly
it limits the number of equipments you can bring imo
The point is: it was not melee only
most other mael are cool though, except that one
well scab only no ammo isn't much better
it was not scab only either
Just standard maelstrom
Where I don't meet any ranged till the 3rd room
or more
we love our superheavy melee elite horde
Fuck dreg gunner
It is very easy to notice with exec stance cuz you know, wall hack
So when I see only mauler as far as the eye can see, I ask myself question
where's (Mostly Ranged Dregs) 
it feel like too few ranged weapons like that modifier
mostly the stuff I play don't like carapace spam
Hellbore Mk2 love it

Also IAG with Onslaught
Talent -40% brittleness
Turn every armoured enemy into Tofu
thanks Obama
I mean FS
Obama care cause this fr
i gotta get headhunter on my headhunter
Gonna get my Stormtrooper in stormtrooper gauntlet
Biden was the admin during the vet tree debacle at patch 13 and 15
I need a Hellgun for Stormtrooper
Damn the liberals
Imagine not helping
Okay chat, hear me out
Not the Obamnassiah
All I am saying is
Gets Hot and Volatile names should be swapped
Volatile should means crit when hot
Gets Hot should means faster charge cause the gun gets hot faster
chat is quiet because it makes too much sense
I understand
I hear your arguments
To the fire witch
To the fire fr
Bidenmisiah wouldn’t allow this
Thy heretic die
Just started running this build with a deadshot Columnus and gotta say, I don't think I've felt more consistently powerful before.
ew meta chaser
Yeah the ciag has the longest crit strings
And massive finesse modifiers
On top of the highest dps for automatics
Is it meta? I thought revo and plasma were meta atm
10% rending isn’t the best for my taste
Very meta
it's a trio
Plasma Rev Colum
But I don’t use keystone for columnus so my opinion is skewed
You want the 10% rending, trust me
Columnus iag one of de best weapo
10% rending is good for crits
Hear crit strings
Me a Recon enjoyer: 😭
Eh. Whatevs. Columnus is fun.
I'm not like other columnus users, I actually like the fastest full-auto option in games I play 💅
10% rending gives you about 17% more damage at range falloff, cuz base ADM is like 60% iirc
This is the falloff chart for ciag
Dakka is important
Rending counters falloff
I don’t, because I fail to find significant result except rending help me BP 1 mag body shot them
You want rending
Oh yea could you help me find something out
I done a testing this evening about Hellbore
You could run MF if you want 20% rending, but you'll miss out on stamina or onslaught
My man.
I can’t find its inverse damage fall off on it
yknow for some reasons I have never vibed with automatic weapons
For some reason
I just refuse to use Autoguns on principle. That's the weapon of civilians and traitors.
I don't like em
The recon 6d fires faster 
Should be under stopping power
Does brittleness just increase damage taken?
yeah
True, I wish recon wasn't so mid or I'd be using that cuz laser
I get the same damage from 0m-5-m-10m-20m
additive though, it's like reding but as a debuff
Could use Helbore
Semi auto high damage weapons have always been my preference
samesies
For unarmored and infested it should be under damage
The thing was the damage was consistently the same
I don’t get what’s wrong with it
Are you using a gray talent tree
Yes
Empty, excuse me. Are you standing far enough away?
Onslaught and Surgical blessing only
I will test this
The picture was very very far away
can this be saved?
I don’t know why it doesn’t do anything
Can't recommend smackdown, I think raw is better

But yeah riposte works but you want uncanny as your blessing first and foremost
And smackdown is uh
yikes
Is the talent selected? 
No talent
You can see from the buff screen
certain lasguns have inverse falloff
I’m expect one value lower and one value higher
Could you try on normals
so just change blessings?
I want to see whether it’s a bug on my end
That's what I'd recommend. You have flak so it's not the worst.
You mean unarmored?
Lemme do something rq and I can
Yes dreg stalker Unarmored
Also I use full charged shot in the picture
Instead of uncharged
inb4 charge shot has no inverse falloff
gonna play maelstrom with a recon lets hope my teammates dont kick me cause they assume im throwin the game
Gaslight them
If it’s pubs they’ll be running super soakers filled with piss so I wouldn’t worry
i kinda got a poopy roll on a 378 recon, its the slow firing one
hadron bricked it but i put dumdum and maniac on it at least
Recon users typically don't get kicked, even if they perform very poorly
Leaving the lobby if you see one happens decently often though
I've only ever seen someone kicked a handful of times
in 1200+ hours
rending only applies to non- unarmored non-infested
fyi
That's for damage falloff
I’m aware, I’m asking about why no damage falloff
I got very confused at that testing
So I just wonder whether is my psyk bugged or something
The only thing that may fuck around is just blessing and perks but those doesn’t play too much in Damage falloff (?)
Surgical and Onslaught in this case
Could you do a charged shot variant to it?
Just to make sure I’m not going crazy
what if i did this
vet skill: leave nobody behind
+10% revive speed x 3
Chances are they're more than capable of fucking themselves up.
wonder how quick id be
Only issue I can see with that is when you're just in runs where people are playing clean enough to not really warrant it. Very nice for a hyper gambling on your life build though.
Recommend at least taking something for combat ability cdr.
well in an optimal run, nobody goes down
I don't mean it like that, just where people aren't struggling much even in shitty scenarios.
but it's more im curious, vs it being useful
Not the vacuous perfect run.
I say just try it out. Never know
Fuck the math after a certain point, go in the field. Leave the lab.
imagine tho, if u did all that on 3 +3 stamina curios w/ +stamina from vet tree and +2 on weapon
Finish the research.
I don't really know how stamina works tbh when it comes to blocking.
You are not, at least on the hb1. Charging in this instance seems to have normalized damage across ranges.
Sometimes it feels like it doesn't matter.
congrats on your discovery @strange sparrow
well im talking abput stamina used if u take dmg while picking someone up
Mhm. I'd say Mayne like.
cause id be uhhh +12 stamina
I'd go with maybe 6-7 blocks worth of stamina?
Strangely it still functions on not unarmored
People who attribute ability purely to weapon selection generally suck.
I use wep specialist a lot with stamina interactions so I'm lucky enough with what I got.
i usually throw stamina to the wind
Some guns are harder to use than others, but none of them are honestly inherently trolling
But I don't have builds that are super concerned with stamina inherently.
melee damage to elites is good and flak is really good on knife
may as well test flak, cara, and unyielding now
Try it on flak, I found that doesn’t do anything too
They're the sort of people in league who only play meta champs and wonder why they're still in gold
uncanny + bleed blessing and its saved
Just ones with either stamina stability or just a healthy amount
Slow firing one is in 2nd place dps wise when built
However on flak
Which is weird to me too
uncanny bleed knife is nuts for vs armor
I assume the falloff tables were scuffed by accident
you guys should save yourselves a lot of heart ache and never use a helbore
Fait enough. I just hate league at this point lol
just roll a revolver or plasma
Cannot stand playing that game
does it also apply for cara & unyielding though/
League sucks, meta monkeys just aren't doing themselves any favors in getting good though
Strictly because of the attitude of most pub players. Most self-entitled lot next to toxic ow ppls
You were talking about it earlier, actually knowing how to play the game is what matters
And without any of the skill to back up the attitude usually.
Also vs everything, because even if you're going purely up from 100%, each stack of uncanny is 6% damage at t4.
Or if they do have the skill, they're actually just outmatching people weaker than them
The moment they get high enough on ladder and have to start changing their rotation of obvious approaches, suddenly they just can't do anything.
Shocker.
Are you asking for uncanny or these helbore falloff oddities
yes and carapace
for helbore
my bad i meant "ruthless back stab + mercy killer" knife
(I read uncanny as unyielding oops)
its nutty vs crushers
I find uncanny to be better value overall
I was maybe two days older when 69 mentioned how some blessings work with hellbores.
Pubs are a magical place
Did not know that the game allowed for that logic tbh. It seems obvious though
prob? but i like 1-2 shotting crushers with a knife in .4 seconds
FS doesnt seem to realize, u can cancel the punch for an immediate overhead strike on knife
I'd consider a crit infiltrate build with hellbore and combat knife now.
They do. It's why it's in the game
I only recently noticed that the followup actually is a heavy.
that's an intentional mechanic that you can thank certain play testers for
Thought it was a light.
We're new to each other. I'm old with combat knives though.
if u time it right, u can heavy stupidlt fast
I'm very well aware.
Can you make a video? I want to see
I didn't cancel the special and just let it ride
It's why I have Haymaker with riposte on one of my knives. As a meme but it works on my zealot really well.
I can't, but I can VC and stream if you'd like
It's a very fast heavy setup.
You just flip the knife and stab down
Usually one the first hit I let the punch go through,to cause bleed
It feels faster than normal heavies but the break from the special attack can make you vulnerable in those really right moments
obs is free 
It is definitely worth it in combination with your push attacks though. Or deliberately whiffing it to set it up.
It's funny that u can bleed with a punch and immediately heavy after
Damage increases over distance vs carapace, but unyielding is flat.
You can also play the dangerous game letting yourself get close to rager pits and darting in and out, weaving the whiffed special heavy followup with it. You just CANNOT miss.
thank you for your service
If you do. Eh. Rager combos. You already know what happens next lol
Only applies to charged shots btw
would infernus and HH be good on Kantrael XII
HH is, infernus is not
I wouldn't but you can if you want.
Maybe on the the fast one.
HH & DA for kantrael 12
what's a good gun to pair with a chainaxe?
after using claw mk7 I see why people like that more than cheese hole mk4
I can stream it in a VC for you really quick
I'd say headhunter is the real meat of the lasgun blessing combos but headhunter with deadly accurate is just that safe and synergistic.
what gun would be good with infernus?
Is +5% crit mandatory on vet combat blade? With Reciprocity and desperado I'm not sure if this is BiS for perks...
Not many
Depends on what you're going for.
Nah
its a melee build pimarily
It's a mediocre at best and usually bad blessing. Mostly laspistol and recons, but recons are dumpster tier right now.
Not really? It helps of that's the point of your build but it's not that good.
In terms of what else you can do using the knives.
I think I want Unyielding but idk if I should replace flak or maniac
Eh, just tell me how you do it and I'll recreate it. All I need to know is the cancelling method
Unfortunately you don't have the luxuries of zealot
Luv me rending backstabbings
knife special atack, and like half way through the punch use a light melee
If you're solid with your horde clear with it and other weapons in your buiod then drop flak imo
iirc the light after special attack is like a heavy 1 right?
Yes
It can be inputted like a light though
It's just that fast
But you can hold it
CB horde clear isn't hard to input, dropping flak it is then, thanks for the advice
You trying to just hurt specials, elites and bosses better?
I just miss running fast for plasteel tbh xD
I haven't gotten another mercy killer-flesh knife on vet in a while
The game seems dead set on wanting me to keep this one, because no other MG XII I have found is as good.
But riposte with mercy isn't bad
just did 12k on a crit knife backstab
And since Cb can horde+elite+boss it's just ideal
I like to mob and move from mobs into gunners a lot on my zealot. With vet, I'm usually using my gun more frequently.
I'm not sure how you could manage to reach that unless something isn't working right
You moisten them up with lights then go for the atab usually when you can.
lemme SC
Like max their bleed stacks or whatever then go for infiltrate stab.
I haven't gotten dmg like that like that but it's a chunk
lmao just like 4 shot a beast of nurgle
In my experience, close but not more than zealot big backstab.
Plus idk if this is a weakened beast or not.
I don't number in this game really.
Help. What (if anything) should I swap? Unyielding for +5% crit chance?
Well
Surgical
You don't have anything ad on paper really. But if you want more dmg swap gloryhunter.
You mean like this? It does prevent the punch from landing, which is helpful for shroud zealot.
Damn that is weird
You want surgical for sure unless you're going weapon spec, replace glory for that.
u can do it a bit faster
dont need the full punch
That's as fast as I can get it on the mk3 without getting a light attack, the punch isn't actually landing but comes out near instantly.
heres proof
Much appreciated gents
Also volatile and blaze away are the dream plasma gun combo.
15790 dmg a single stab
Oh, you're using power boosts
without is nearly 12k
I don't use plasma guns that much
ill show without
Show the knife and the tree if you don't mind, I want to test it.
isn't the fastest way to get heavy-level damage push attack spam? the knife push attack is bonkers
It's one way. I use the punch though in a lot situations where I'm at a loss for setting up heavies and need to keep attacking with mouth burning stamina for another push attack. I don't have high stamina on average.
chonky damage
its nutty
granted its a crit but still chonky
it could be higer, if i put +10% crit dmg
yes, im dmg stacking
Certainly would skip that for something betterr
@junior needle do you know what the range falloff looks like?
If you're talking perk
do u want it just raw? no ping keystone
Yeah, that would be helpful. You shouldnt able to get that much damage with that setup and the keystone. Something must be multiplying weirdly
talking baout how knife did 15k dmg, could inc it more
bout 10k
no ping, just ability for dmg inc
which plasma gun would #veteran-class chat use? thanks in advance (pls dont say "None of them
")
now it could be higer, 25% higer at that
On helbores? The charged shots seem to have flat damage against flak, unyielding, and unarmored
Try it without the ping or ability
I mean crit damage iirc isn't gonna... make your entire damage better
Iirc it'll only increase the crit damage
no buffs ( beside bleed perk)
I don't remeberr
Both are good id snag the 1st one cuz modifier base stat biggerer
Fascinating
So it'll only be the crit damage +%10
yes, but this is just min/max testing
even after lasering people in the head the damage output is far from great
looks like the knife is running a 2x crit ??
so +10% crit dmg should make it 2.2 times
Yeepers
Oh ok this one then instead of 1st, same reason
knife dmg can be insane
Modifier base stat biggerer than rest
Needs get hots t4
i tried to understand the viewpoint of recon lasgun users but i simply cant, and i used the one with the highest damage per shot
You shouldn't be able to hit these numbers, I think something might be going on with the backstab blessing
buffed, no backstab dmg tho
Its just fun™️
Perhaps it's mercy killer
its a combo of both + unyelding dmg
Thing is
well as u can see im pretty bricked... but out of the 3, which would u use?
knife is just nuts if done right
bro i dream about you every night
IAG is more fun, recon users are massively coping that their low powered laser pointer is just in the trash over at fatshark
cedric III is in my dreams
Even with unyielding, you should not be getting that much.
Oh I see, these are also weakspot crits with the big numbers
What do y'all reccomend for perks on Power Sword?
just 2 shot a crusher, the 2nd hit only needed 300 dmg as well
its fine i watched a zealot thammer instakill a DH a few days ago, and i thought they fixed that
I've got one with Rampage IV on Melk and I'm deciding if I grab it for the perk
just one shot a bulwark
wait
i can one shot crushers
if i add the dmg type for them
nvm, one shot the crusher without it
one hit
They're usually either unaware how the guns compare and perform, or wilfully ignorant in the case of one guy I talked to on here recently
no i meant on the colum
lmao
was testing colum deadshot
it's real strong
but onslaught kinda useless
i have an anti-boss colum
It has very high damage falloff, unusually so for an iag
would a revolver with crucian and a knife with mercy killer and lacerate be good?
100% modifier loss over range to unyielding
right but when does it stop
and start
tldr does falloff start at 8m and linearly fall off?
use surgical, dont use lacarate, vet has a skill tree for bleeding
or is it an exponential drop
The Mk II Braced or the Mk V?
So what autogun is good, infantry, braced, or headhunter?
Think I hit max around 45m when trying a lasgun, starts is not that far away either
they're all good
for different reasons
lol
i could one shot crushers easy, if i changed the stamina to dmg
interdasting lol
i need to test some more with onslaught
oh word
but it doesn't seem very worth the 4 points to reach it so far
10% rending + longshot seems to solve the range issues
Infantry auto gun is super strong
the way i use it, open up with punch, it procs bleed and then light attack immediatly after, it makes it a heavy doing nutty dmg
You can try Columnus Mk 5 Infantry Auto Gun
Base stats with it is already strong
Blessing isn’t required
punch?
Ah so i can leave blessings alone?
like the block attack?
ya, the knifes alt move
The alternate action
oh ok
You could try the gun in grey
It’s just that good in its base form rn
It's hillarious, you literally just deck whoever's in front of you
no, its alt move, like how weapons can have a flashlight. on the knife, its a punch
ahhh ok
It’s bad against Cara/flak but you could mitigate it with Onslaught (Right side of Veteran Talent Tree near the end)
Unyielding and maniac have huge positive multipliers so you need to stand a bit further back for the drop to kick in (much moreso with maniac).
ive been using plasma/power sword and im looking for something new
Flak starts out below 100
Hellbore make your game harder
the perk with the sword and blood is vital
But more rewarding
the problem is that
while I can foresee a usecase for unyielding at far away
via reapers
I dont really foresee myself shooting at maniacs from very far away ever
at least, not far enough for the 50% ADM to apply
maybe far enough for 80 or 90%, but then the 10% rending should make up for it
hm
It's not just very far away, you'll go negative at more reasonable ranges
Maniacs you wont
But unyielding and flak yes
and testing against carapace
carapace is flat
onslaught is not very impressive against it
Onslaught is most of your rending vs carapace
correct
You only get up to 16% with rending strikes
but it's so pitiful that it doesn't feel that much better
i would rather just melee it
So that's over triple your damage with onslaught stacked, with rending strikes
than full mag a crusher
I don’t know where you get to not onslaught crusher though
Or you just not using gun against them
wdym?
The damage with CIAG without rending/Onslaught has been not great against Carapace
correct
Crit string are not good enough to bypass their ADM
and what I'm saying is WITH it it's still pretty sad
Half a mag dump into a crusher is great
here look at this
I may be wrong but TTK with Onslaught headshot is 2-3 seconds
It seems to do a very unusual amount of damage to unyielding
I don't why or how the Bolter of all weapons have become my least used ranged weapon
And I can squeeze it down to 1.30
Brunt 
Also how did Freiren become so popular among 40K fans?
She's an anime elf of all things hahaha
Potential DPS
what gun is that
In gerenal, it take me like 3 seconds to kill Crusher
Sats pretty hood
Agripinaa?
CIAG
Columnjs
Ah Columus
Columnus Mark V Infantry Auto Gun
But weapon customized
That should make it worse, not like humans have been secretly forming relationships with the eldar...
...oh. Oh no.
This is an unrealistic approach to how much DPS could it possibly do with Onslaught and Rending
based on these nuts got em
A lot of fuckin bandaid
I'm just not convinced that this ^^^^ is worth 4 vet talent points
