Pinning fire would be better instead of shattering but since you got unlucky just change the perks for now
Hadron says no 
okay, if i get pinning fire lv4 i will try to build another one, thanks 🫡

I'm not going to lie
sometimes, I think about giving up weapon specialist keystone, to get elite superiority
Someone define 'breakpoints' for me. I see the word a lot and have zero idea what it means.
Basically
The amount it takes to break the enemies health threshold
The breakpoint can be described as a goal to reach usually for one shotting
Fancy word for saying how long it takes for you to one shot an enemy preferably with a headshot
Like if you need elite superiority to one shot a Rager because your weapon can't break that threshold so that node will help you break it
Water tastes like
@lusty jetty hey what build do you run with your Headhunter autogun? Maybe I've just been building it wrong
Depends on which one
The 7
We had a discussion about it being better than Hellbore
On basically every level
Because it feels better
Allegedly
And since I'm a inquisitive mind I wanna put that to the test
Hell maybe I am wrong, I'd be happy to be problem wrong
I run opening salvo and head hunter on my v7
I'm talking talent wise
Vraks 7 you'd want Deadly Accurate always since it got insanely buffed + Surg/Headhunter. usually surg on 7 / HH on 2
best perks/blessings for the MK3 Sapper Shovel?
id have to look through my older builds to see if i swapped stuff for 7, been mostly using II @muted knot
Thrust + Decimator or Skull crusher
Uncanny strike works well too
Perks FLak Maniac do be nice for 1 hit BPs on ragers
cheers for that, had one in the shop with T4 Hammerblow and T3 trauma and wondered if they were the go to ones
"PLEASE USE SHOTGUN PLS ILL GIVE U ALL THE BLESSINGS" -melk||, or fatshark
||
deci/uncanny/skullcrusher are all def core wants, + Thrust nice on the fold up sappers. roll sounds not worth prob but iirc hammer4 can stop ragers & maulers if you want a meme baby Zealot-Crusher lol
snag that for the respite nice
i have it rolled on three shotguns
but they're the best of each so i havent eaten the blessing yet
oh... then dont buy those bad stats lol
Point and laugh at em
Do Vets have a Sniper Rifle like weapon, i don't think there is an exact one in game but what would be the closest to one
Helbore go brr
helbores, mg12 lasguns, and the mk7 headhunter are the closest you get to a high-power rifle
ty
none have a high-zoom scope
but the mk7 does have high screen zoom
high zoom scopes aren't suited for a game like this anyway
Would get tunnel vision way too fast imo so ya is a good thing
i think if they insisted on adding a scoped weapon, it would have a variable zoom toggle
hrm
this build works decent with my revolver
gave up agile engagement and weapon specialist
honestly would just love to see a Sniper Rifle with a high armor piercing round capable of handling Carapace
scopes in this game sounds like an awful idea
for extra ammo, and +15 percent elite damage
Biggest noobtrap ever
mk3 helbore is your guy, slow and unwieldy but will drop a crusher in like 2 charge shots
I mean so is a long Las on general
i used to religiously run mk1 helbore with ogryn highlight and bonus damage before the talent tree update
this build is stronger against pure groups of elites
less so against mixed hordes
not sure if worthy trade off
maybe if I was using a chainsword rather then the power sword
What a good gun for the volley fire hit 4 target weakness with secondary fire?
what level are you on veteran?
because if youre low level, just wait for that challenge
its SO MUCH EASIER
also, technically autogun
if you get the self-prolonging your volley fire
doing it with only the base duration is not that easy to force on purpose. automatics like fierach said
are the best bet
brrrr into horde
headlevel
hope for the best
getting 4 clean headshots on 4 targets purposefully does require skill and no one gun is much better at it i feel like
I'd say the autoguns are trash at that
OH WAIT
oh wait, you mean the hit five enemy heads with single use of volley fire
you can literally hit the same target
"hit enemy weak spots 4 times using ads without missing weakspots inbetween"
you can just stand in front of an ogryn
with an automatic
i got it by accident on my new account
because you're not dodging his overhead xD
just shot the plague ogryn in his head
30 lvl
And what the braced autogun alt fire?
I see
All right

reduces vertical recoil and makes it kick horizontally, for spraying crowds
not very necessary to use but it’s fun
that’s only for graia pattern
That's a thing? Man, almost 900 hours and I still get these tidbits of cursed knowledge
Did you know the agri shotty's ADS reduces its cleave?
right click
you need to aim down sights for infantry autogun
for most guns, secondary action is just aiming down sights
a very few instead brace
and plasma charges
All righ
And the plasma ch-
Typewriter Ocelot
i thought they patched this out?
The return
Yeah I honestly don't know
Y'know
maybe brexit protected him from the new regulations dropping
I just realized with the beret and underwear
maybe the EU voted to get rid of that
He's going commando
Is it? I have done a Mandela on myself
Semantic defeat
casualties?
My pride
apparently the cosmetics are loading in
they failed to do so for the past 10 minutes though
everyone else is clothed fully
Why am I not surprised that Ogryn has a small pp?
you dont know that
i assume its not in the "sizable" state
as with most men
i also bet ogryn underwear is like EXTRA STRONG
so anything flexible WILL be squeezed into shape by it
I doubt the Imperium would waste time giving Ogryn extra strong underwear.
I don't think anyone wants to but are now unfortunately
I don't think people wantednto think about the orgyn's underwear breaking from the sheer power
Do I add ogryn to the volley?
Guys do you know what are the best blessings for the illisi power sword?
not sure if its worth the point
but i think it disables marking shooters
so i wouldnt do it
I thought it help better with the penance
i doubt that
if you are close enough to unload a whole magazine into an ogryns face, you will be close enough not to need the highlighting
Maybe ask the Psker-class chat?
I did got ghosted thought my fav chat could help me out, guess not
There is no illisi power sword
You can sacrifice your choice of grenade talents to go for Marksman's Focus if you really want, but MF doesn't make as big of a difference as you may think
When at max stacks it might take one or two less shots to down a Reaper/Mauler - I would rather have Demo Team + Field Improv, or 5% crit + extra grenade
Your individual weapon/perk/blessings roll will determine if going for MF makes sense
Isn't a power sword? Is called flaming physic sword Illisi mkv
I had to translate in English myself
Power sword make de-materization field, force sword make warp field
Yeah but you use a power up to empowered it and make more damage I thought it would be recognizable, indeed I didn't say force
Make sense
Force swords are only useable by psykers so you'd ask there
Oh, missed that part
I just didn't read that message
But here you go, pretty reliable guide
Is there a melee weapon primer for Vets?
Not really. mk6 psword and rashad are generally considered the top tier melee weapons.
- Obtain Power Cycler
No cuz we got too many options 
U wanna guide to John darktide, become John darktide
Man’s a walking Swiss Army knife
I got cycler 4 on a mk6, but I guess I mk3 is better cause u can charge it while sliding? But I was thinking about newer chain sword or axe as fun they seem decent
Mk6 is better than mk3 rn
I like the patterns more but u can charge mk3 while sliding and u cant charge mk6 then
You can charge the MkVI while blocking
Although I've never actually used the MkIII so who knows
I used to be a PS hater but honestly if you have PC IV it is really really really difficult to recommend anything else
Same, I'm trusting darktide reddit for that lul
rashad
Uh, unarmored to flak?
I think lot pick Carapace instead
Since you already one shotting on supercharge attack against flak
Special amp up the sword
That's just charged attacks
Oh lol
So after trying out all the guns i settled on the Mk7 headhunter but now i'm not sure what Blessings to change for what i'm trying to do Deadly accurate seems nice. and i assume a weakspot damage multiplier to compliment it
You can do surgical/deadly or surgical/opening
Just don't do deadly without surgical, important.
surgical ty
generally armor damage perks like Flak or Maniac are more reliable than weakspot damage bonus perks
because weakspot and crit damage perks only increase the bonus damage difference between a normal hit and weakspot/crit hit
instead of the total damage
You're waiting for surgical to charge anyway so opening is a guaranteed damage boost without consciously having to pay attention to it
surgicla/deadly accurate
unarmored/flak or maniac
is mine
Not sure how well the two stack up damage wise though
unarmored to OS dreg gunner without crit
flak or maniac both help with oneshit crit on dreg/flak rager just dpeends which you hate more ig
There seems to be significantly more naked ragers
yeah but flak helps against random bruisers when you hipfire it sometimes
since its not bad hipfired tbh
also it might help hit a bp on maulers?
i honestly just spam shots into their body with v7 so i havent checked how many it takes with or without flak
Opening Salvo/Deadly Accurate + HH/Surgical
In the middle of auric t5 i will respond mroe later lol
hh is better for vraks 3 due to how it works
HH is not as good on v7 imo
you only spam shots into mauler bodies or crusher heads
everything else should die in 2 bullets at most
anyway
idk if you can hit the OS BP without unarmored perk against dreg gunners
mine cant at least
but it isnt completely godrolled either so idk
if you can hit it with 10% elite instead that might be nice
I hit gunner OS without unarmoured perk using OS
but mine falls short unless im relying on keystones which arent always reliable
o ya
if you use OS it should cover it as well
i just use deadly accurate but maybe i shoudl switch
but i think then ragers are definitely a 2shot without DA
even with a crit
well, point being
without opening salvo or unarmored i find that you're about 20% dmg modifier short from a oneshot with no crit on dreg gunners
That is exactly why OS > DA
I will die on that hill
Crits and weakspots and weakspot crits just don't happen as often as you like ingame
well
the main point of DA i found was just for rager OS
do you still OS rager with crit
I remember not liking the reset time on OS
also it might not be perfectly reliable yeah
since sometimes you really do have to gun down gunners in rapid succession
And finding out hipfire and ADS reset recoil differently
Honestly Ragers are just hard to headshot
If Ragers are coming at me in close then I'm dropping 2 frags, VoC, then magdumping/power sword
If they're out far then I don't care about oneshotting
Opening Salvo is just too consistent - at worst it's kicking in every other shot, if you're not letting it reset
my other question then is
what do you gain with the other perk freed up from unarmored
cause the whole point of maniac or flak from my experience.,.. was ragers lol
nothing else meaningfully changes
unyielding for boss dps?
Except BoN
that's why I actually dont see the value in freeing up the 2nd perk
I have Flak + Maniac
do you know if it actually helps you hit any meaningful bps to have both w/o DA?
I oneshot anything Flak, and need as much Maniac damage as I can get
I've never tested it without
you dont need dmg if it doesn't help you reach a bp is why i say that
I disagree with that very much
like if i do 60% or 80% of a rager hp it doestn really make a big difference compared to 50% or 100%
that's what DA helps with at least
i mean i get
IN PRACTICE
they anret always at full hp
but u get what i mean
That's exactly it
its a benefit but not a major one
not very reliable
cause it means 1. you're relying on your teammates to be attacking the same target
and 2. they have to have done enough dmg for it to matter
im not saying its meaningless mind u
im just saying i'd rather run DA then in that case
at least my crit is a definite 50% chance minimum
for the OS
and jsut sac a perk to unarmored
that way i dont have to worry about recoil reset either against swarms of dreg gunners
Hey, I just got extremely lucky and got Power Cycler T4 from Melk. I’m wondering what keystone would be best for a mostly melee Vet? Any other build advice for such?
right keystone
but you need a gun that works well with it
revolver/plasma are both pretty good with it and top tier weapons
Breakpoints are a nice theoretical exercise with strong practical application ingame that is highly dependent on the role and weapon
Like - with Vraks VII it is my job to delete gunners at range, so a Gunner oneshot breakpoint is a practical metric, because they're usually far out enough to be at 100% health
The reality is for pretty much anything else - Snipers don't count because they are so squishy - it will be in close and will have taken damage from the team, so damage increments mean a lot more
but really, anything non automatic that swaps quickly are nice
yes, but its still up to chance if the dmg they've taken makes ur damage perk actually meaningful because its dependent on your teammates having inflicted enough dmg
Awesome, I figured the right was the best for that. I’ll look into the Ranger weapons listed. Thank you.
in that case why not just roll the 50/50 minimum with surgical+deadshot and DA
and just run unarmored perk
that way you have no recoil reset to worry about either
Deadshot is a trap lol
wdym
Stamina
uh
its a single shot weapon
its really easy to control the stam usage on it
at least personally
i never run out
while adsing
how much do you know about Ravenguard ? in warhammer lore
lol
Deadshot and the weapon specialist modifier for stamina on melee swap is goated
i mean ur welcome to not take it if you dont like it
i just think calling it a trap is weird
It basically fixes deadshot
its good on a lot of strong guns
It do be like that
Deadshot is a neat talent; I’m too braindead to use it properly, lol
Deadshot revolver is disgusting
I would say deadshot are a trap because a lot of people can’t play the talent well
I like that infiltrait plays into the stealth aspect but i think executioners stance is better for a sniper build
Easy rager one-shots
not sure
They run out of stamina > realised no more Crit > still ADS -> rager come near you
gotta say stealth is great for clutching a bad situation
playing darktide is a trap bc people cant play the game well too
:^)
ive genuinely never had that problem with deadshot on single shot wep
though i will say
that happened to me
multiple times
with deadshot columnus
LOL
i dropped it after that for colu
not good enough to do that build ig
that or ppl are just literlaly running 3x stam curio that shill it
I’m pretty aggressive as a vet, so I usually don’t run deadshot cause needing to block and shit
Deadshot wep spec
columnus mk5 IAG or mk2 braced auto? which would you guys say is better?
columnus prefers IAG
I can't believe it's been overtuned for this long
Like... at least make it reload slower
Columnus with Onslaught, and you’ll be a force to be reckoned with
My poor Recon Lasgun, allowed to shine for 20ish days…
lol
the funny part about recon is iag would have been better that it anyway even w/o nerf
it had trash maniac damage even when it was "good"
dont get me wrong, I liked it too, i have two 570+ ones lol
(And the 20k plasteel I spent on it)
Well, I’m a laspistol gamer now
Fits my commissar outfit
I can give you spare diamantine!
If I could!
What keystone are you doing on v7 then anyway @lusty jetty
Hey everybody!
Thing is I find all the single shot weapon really not using deadshot to begin cuz their high weakspot damage
my hellbore las deadshot hate me
: ^ )
Grenade Keystone 
I ran MF for awhile but I honestly don't miss it at all
I like pairing Charismatic with demolition team. Gives me more grenades.
Being able to spam shredders at pretty much every HISTG pack is worth
Vraks VII is performant enough without keystones
Yep
middle is generally just good, and right offers a playstyle most vets eschew
I just don't like anything leading up to it
middle?
Ya sorry
O ya that makes sense
Yeah mf was kinda overkill imo
I was gonna suggest mid Stam regen if u wanted to try deadshot since it makes it totally brainless to manage lol
Ya
I started doing right keystone more again
I like Deadshot with Revolver a lot since there's only so much stam to lose
took to putting glory hunter on right keystone zarona
basically maxed out on crit whenever I'm using it anyway
My question is always, does that 25% feel a lot?
but I always debuff my buff by swapping weapons
it's a very particular playstyle
like cool I got 10 stacks, oops, just swapped
I'm a massive swordmage simp in any game I've played
so the swapping back and forth to maintain shit feels good
tbf you don't need remotely close to 10 stacks to get value out of it
Been chasing some penences lately, What's a good map to get the Long Bomb penance?
1 stack is really what matters
yep, 1 for reload, 3 for maxed out crit
but i need gun to go brr
also I haven't needed to manually reload a zarona in forever
Chasm Terminus boss fight is a good one too.
kill some poxies, qq, one round reloaded
@odd merlin @tender pasture cool, I'll give them a shot when that maps appears.
I have my weapon swaps on mouse wheel up and mouse wheel down to cope with FS servers
Quick tip to only click m1 and not to hold if you hold aim with grenade it increases fuse length
you need length and vertical space to be able to arc the bomb, so any map with those and defined spawns will serve
Cool
@final crystal check pins
If we're talking about long bomb, I got that when I was using smoke grenades
Still not sure how that happened
yeah I randomly got it by yeeting a grenade as far as I could cuz I saw a pack
"oh cool
"
the disrespectful direct damage from a nade
Imagine if FatShark adds new cosmetic achievements and one of them is "throw 100 smoke grenades to save allies"
smokes have the potential to be really high impact but they refuse to let them be powerful
coming from fucking around on Battlebit
"throw 100 smoke grenades to~~ save ~~ Griefallies"
ftfy
people stall out in a push, spawn in with a full smoke layout and suddenly they find their courage
FS seem unwilling to properly handicap shooters
Just one out of 2 things will make smoke better for me
- Lower the smoke height so we can spot heads
- Have outlined highlights of enemies through smoke like Ogryns Taunted enemies
literally just let it choke out fire/DOT hazard and I'd use it all the time lol
also, make gunners spray instead of continuing to mag dump last known location
"dunno where they are, so I'm shooting for vibes and to keep their heads down"
This
I've never seen an enemy in this game with less than 100% accuracy hahaha
I would say taking smoke + Infil make that RP sense
You throw smoke and triggering the ability give allies (Thermal Sight) you know
nurgle got that vertical jump and aimbot juice
And baseball pros
Don't forget shooting through grates that we can't shoot through
but the problem become, what if enemy is behind the smoke
Had a trapper net me through a god damn gate
or some distance away from smoke
Teamate saved me
vice versa
But the trapper was back and just netted me again
have seen a clutch fail because they got kicked in the back by a sniper
Couldn't do anything about it
best movement melee?
slap him in the face
don't think I've seen a player get domed by a grenade yet
Knife
Bonus Sprint Efficiency and heavy moveset
Im not too sure about specific things about knife as I haven't grind that weapon yet
It's our duty to bully trappers to death with shoves punches and slaps whenever able
you actually using it for shanking, or you using it as a mobility stick?
mobility
doesn't matter then, sprint efficiency is all you need
and high mobility stat ofc
Aaaand... 10k scabs penance done.
Any tips for On Overwatch?
Do it with a willing group/friends

Play with a willing group on Malice, and be dead for 90% of the duration fo the mission.
Best way to do it is jump off a cliff at the beginning of the mission, then be revived at the last part.
I'll shelve that one for now
Finally
i love the vraks
It's surprisingly ammo efficient
yeah and its satisfying to hit head shots with
also the iron sights are pretty good
I have weapon customizer on so it's got the holo sight from the Kantrael
thats cool is it like a mod?
best secoondary curio? toughness regen and what else? is stam regen effective?
ill try it
I do toughness, more toughness, toughness regen, and stam regen
right now im running more gold, toughnes regen, and then a mix of health/toughness/stam regen
stam regen is great
toughness regen is kinda meh
ok thx, ill use that
really? hmm
whatrs ck
confiremd kill
in the vet tree
the "restore 10% toughenss every time you kill an elite/special"
stuff like that doesnt get affected by curio toughness regen
are the best blessings for infantry lasguns deadly accurate and headhunter?
or is infernus up there
which hurts it a lot in terms of how effective it is
passive coherency regen is fairly small in a combat situation
meanwhile most of your gain is from getting melee kills or talents like ck
which it doesnt affect iirc
ordo docket(gold) is unironically decent as long as you dont feel like u could use more an extra 15% toughness/hp by slapping the 5% secondaries on 3 curios as well
Wth, this thing will two shot crushers on Damnation
curios is rough to find
it's actually pure RNG
Uncanny Strike good
you can't even grind for em
Yes, these two are best
Uncanny strike is amazing
just downloaded the weapon customization mod. pretty cool
lets make a disgusting helbore
how did u do it
I hit download and install with vortex?
It's back on Nexus?
I have come to the conclusion I'll do funny crit stacking with knife vet
Provided it's additive, I believe I can get 70% crit chance
5 base, 5 node, 10 desperado, 25 reciprocity, 20 riposte, 5 perk
the mod isnt. I downloaded from the discord and manually added it in vortex
And apparently on this particular build I never needed unarmored to two-shot dreg gunners with mercy killer
So I was just wasting it
Now I need to see if infested is what's making my light crits one-shot poxwalkers or if I can safely remove that too
I will say I don't think infested is good for annyything
Might not be
If youre building either knife you're gonna have to be relegated with the fact that horde clear is not good
Maybe the finesse from vet already carries the one-shots
The damage is looooooow
I don't know if you'll be one shoting any poxwalkers
Even so, you don't have cleave
Long as I can reliably one-shot them, the attack speed will do the rest
That's fair
Imo I wouldn't try to make the knife anything it isn't good at, you may be sacrificing other things to do so
For plasma, does the charge rate affect the rate at which the primary fire charges at?
that's a fixed delay
Yeah like Sirosky said the uncharged rate isn't affected by charge rate anymore
Ooh okay awesome
So assuming i'm just spamming primary is charge rate the dump stat?
I'm making the finesse weapon have 70% crit
can you check the charge rate description
i could’ve sworn it had a listing for primary fire speed
charge rate dump is still pretty good though if it keeps your other stats high
i'd dump thermal resist b4 that
jsut cause you will end up shoot->vent->shoot->vent loop
the description ingame is outdated i'm pretty sure
Charge Rate
How fast the Charge Attack charges.
Charge Speed: [2 - 1]
Charge Speed: [1 - 0.5]
charge rate stat
have u guys ever created a new character just to get a name change? will my cosmetics stay?
cosmetics are saved
pick a combat knife or something with hella dodge distance and defensive stats
it's one of the more instructive penances around
Hmm?
Hard disagree
Thermal resist at max gives you at minimum 2 extra shots
you get a sense for the players who cheesed it when you play with them because they're losing 1v1s with poxwalkers
7 to 8 or 9 I forgot
You barely charge with the pgun because SOMEHOW the dps just by spamming left click is faster than right click
At least from one video I saw
The more you can smooth out how many shots you spam the better
Needing to vent every shot just complicates things and take it from me I got a 51 TR pgun
Also TR will give you more value theoretically on gets hot and blaze it without mucking about with venting
I'm almost sure charge rate affects the primary on the plasma and the blessing that affects charge rate buffs it
IIRC the patch notes did say it was a fixed rate I'll have to bring it up again laterr
Is going into a shoot vent loop viable if i want to make sure blaze away is always proccing properly?
does anyone dress up their characters like hobos?
like you're walking down a dark london alleway
and this guy approaches you
you're not blazing away if you're venting now, are you 
So if i do get max heat I do want to vent for a little instead of just spamming then right?
This is why you want Max TR
I'm confused by the wording, but I'm not sure it's saying the charge rate for the primary has a fixed value
Dump Charge rate if you gotta
It will always charge up to 0.525
And not go over
This is what i've been using and i have no idea whether or not i should be trying to farm a better one
so in theory
That means Charge rate doesn't affect primary at all
Because it'll always charge up to 0.525
But that doesn't mean it has a fixed charge rate
Isn't it fixed? If it always charges up to 0.525
No, it just sets a limit
You can reach 0.525 in 1 second, 2 seconds, 10 seconds
Doesn't mean the charge rate is fixed, just the charge limit
ohhh i get it now

TR is still better
I'm in the psykhanium testing some greys right now and my volatile 70%
So charge rate still affects how quickly the shots come out
The change just makes the level it has to charge to until it fires consistent which is why they specified it won't affect its "damage output"
It definitely affects the charge rate
It's just that the charge rate won't go past that 0.5something
Should I dump this plasma then and try getting a better one or
Unless you want to explode, you’ll have to vent yeah
They word it a bit weird because when they say "charge rate shouldn't affect damage output", it still does
Balance Pgun
30k plasteel investment
It doesn't affect the damage of the shot, but by reaching the 0.525 faster they will make the gun deal damage faster
It literally changed the damage from a range of 30-40 damag
I think the wording is bad but I think they mean like when spamming the primary fire it used to randomly shoot off sometimes less charged which would affect its "damage output" and the change just makes it so it's always shot out at 0.525 level now
that doesn't matter though at the end of the day
So it still affects the damage output, contrary to what Fatshark said
So charge rate would affect how quickly it charges up to that 0.525 when shooting
yes
It's a DPS increase basically
Your gun looking something like this would be very nice
lol nvm after actually checking the difference is like minimal
well maybe it makes a bigger difference when actually used and not just looking at the stats
hmmm
I need the elites to one-shot reapers with a full charge
yeah
like 0.2 seconds
I also need maniacs because without it the close range shots won't kill flamers
Is elites better to put on plasma than flak?
I think i 1shot both gunners with headshots
This is theee current build i'm running and i think it's been decent so far https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2297465878970090875/0E665F785A31D163F8B69CC0777E53779F6227A0/
Extra weakspot damage on ability use seems like a bad investment tbh
Unless those 30% or whatever it is let's you hit specific BP
If u mean marksman the reason I got it is because it gives you POWER instead of just normal damage
power is alot better because I heard it does its calcs by applying the buff last after every other buff instead of using the base damage
well, it's multiplicative with other buffs like a lot of other things
at least from wut i heard
ooh that makes sense, idrk the numbers
So would it be best to get a plasma with maniacs + elites on it?
Power is always better than pure damage that's true but what do you hit better with it ?
bosses :)
I personally value the stacks on focus target far less than the other 2. I only go for the stacks if I'm going all in on that keystone
I guess thats a point
I like having my VoC as a defense option most of the time
But that's just me
The cool down is low so I guess you aren't missing much by using it for marksman
Would it be better to use that point for something like exhilarating takedown then?
If your build is anything like mine, yes
I can also open the bulwark and fire a full charge in its face
The crusher takes a full charge and a bit more
ohhh okay i misunderstood then
can u 1 shot both gunners with that
Both gunners also get one-shot by the primary, and obviously so do the shotgunners
And I just do full charge bodyshots on ragers because they like coming in packs
I feel like charging shots is kind of a trap at the moment
Ragers get a bit trickier tho
Scab or Dreg?
ya if i headshot them
or have a few stacks of blaze away
I mean, people are welcome to try to chain primary shots on knocked down enemies
You spend more ammo and generate more heat
Even if it's less efficient, I'd rather do a single headshot on a reaper and a single headshot after I open the bulwark
The time I spent trying to line up the next shots becomes a hassle I could have avoided by just doing a full charge
Another question a bit off topic, are krak grenades affected by whether or not they explode on an enemy's weakpoint?
Dead is dead
IK but i'm wondering if i want to get more boss damage if I want to throw a krak grenade on a weakpoint or if i can just toss it
As far as I know krak doesn’t attach to anything else but carapace and flak, in which is non existent on monstrosities
Just toss it and use +50% damage
It attaches to unyielding too i thought?
With extreme precision or so, which is neither here nor there in high difficulty
It attaches to bosses
It doesn't magnetize to them, so it needs to be a direct hit
Getting your gun out deals far more damage
I'm just wondering whether or not it does more damage if I throw it on a weakpointtt
like would I want to throw a krak on the BoN spot or can i just throw it
I tried it on a plague ogryn now
Id rather pick +50% dmg and yeet
The grenade apparently deals impact damage
And the impact damage on the head is tripled
3 to 5 at most
I feel like this info would still be useful whether or not i took the 50% perk
So it's only the impact damage and not the explosion damage that's increased?
okay tyyy good to know
If explosion damage remains unchanged, then where does 50% increase go into?
Oh wait, I think I have the 50%
They meant from throwing it on a weakspot
The extra damage perk obviously increases the grenade's damage
OH Y3EAH
You got Longshot
😌
If you got longshot, you'll be able to get the dredge gunner 1 tap headshot uncharged with +elites on the pgun
emperor keeps gifting me legendary axes and shovels, but i don't use that 
i've fallen in love with this gun, used to be recon lasgun main cuz that's what the game gave me first
It's for you to cut some wood to make your bed and then dig your own grave
got lv4 punishing salvo earier today :3
recon lasgun main
falls in love with autogun version of recon lasgun
checks out
as all things should be i guesss
looks OP, that gun shoots slow tho and small clip
It's actually very ammo efficient, especially with survivalist.
oh cool
It one taps gunners
nice
wdym
Columnus autogun isn't shit
i feel robbed
Cleave Targets is dump stat ?
cursed new roll :[
I think I will go the extra mile on the crit meme
Nevermind, smackdown sucks ass
I noticed it had a 1 on the buff when it procced, but I think even stacking it'd not be worth the hassle
I have a question about the shout ability
For the upgrade that makes it able to revive people, does the extra cooldown only apply when you revive someone, or is it on every shout?
This one
every shout
it's a trap
left node is what you want
Yeahh just checking, was too good to be true lol
yuuup
It's a pretty decent sidegrade tbh
It would be interesting for the cooldown to only kick in during revives, maybe with it stacking per player revived
I'd keep weakspot
wait trolling or serious?
Crit damage depends on you critting, while weakspot depends on you clicking heads with a gun that has bullet magnetism
it's got surgical 4
Keep the crit if you want
im just gonna leave it for now
now all i gotta do is get hand cannon 4 and i got myself a solid volver finally
i have cannon 3 so that'll have to do for now
do you need carapace armor to do the fabled crusher 1 tap funnis?
or with the 80 percent crit bonus do you think i'll be fine?
wasn't tryna contest what you was saying either i was just legit wondering your logic lol pretty new yet only 120 hrs
I'm just glad my shovel can two tap crushers
With Limsplitter?
Yep
Yes
Huh
You could try thrust for horde too.
there's one that can one tap them
fuck giving them a second chance
I use chainaxe to kill crusher
grade iv thrust grade iv limbsplitter but he doing stealf funnies
Which combat blade is the best on veteran btw?
There's only two of them and they both function slightly differently

One is for single targets, and the other hits multiple iirc
@feral stirrup if you up what the maffs do
critical or weakspot damage if i have to keep one on a zarona
which one gonna give me more raw damage on crit
The mark 3 light attack and heavy pattern are single target swiftly. The mark 4 is crowd control pattern both light and heavy.
Ty ty
You welcome
It's.. kinda bad for the current voc play style, and uh
You gottaaa know how to revive people
Survivalist and Scavenger stacks, right?
No
Survivalist replaces scavenger
Actually..
I have no idea
Breh
If one player has scavenger and the other survivalist, do the 2 auras stack?
That's because people are getting used to what's pretty much the top ability of the game and thinking everything less is a downgrade that ruins their match
I like VoC give breathing room
When people tell me the 15 seconds that the revive adds is screwing their matches because vet is meant to be shouting immediately when the cooldown's over, I just keep thinking what kind of nightmares they're putting themselves into where they think they actually have to be shouting as soon as possible
Consistently
Auric Damnation
That's the thing, I play revive shout in there and also play lots of matches where people don't have VoC at all
There is definitely an argument to be made where it's an absurd shitshow that's lasting for minutes and the vet does need to be shouting back to back to keep people alive, but those situations feel rare even in auric
Maybe we just like the bigger VOC radius because it makes us feel like we're shouting louder :)
I am of the mind Fatshark didn't balance auric damnation around at least one person having a basic VoC just as I remember people saying gun psykers were a hidrance because they were daring to consume ammo
People get the weirdest takes on the game and don't account for Fatshark accounting for the sheer randomization of quickplay
You can get 4 VoC, you can get none; you can get 4 staff psykers, you can get none
I like to think they accounted for a sort of base for the worst scenarios
Also Fatshark has lied to me
Smackdown lasts 5 seconds, not 2
It seems abusively inconsistent to proc in matches though
I swear half of the chaff I punch doesn't trigger smackdown and still gets staggered
As I remember somehow proccing it on crushers, despite not actually being able to in the pskykhanium
Also this is without infested and using 8% weakspot on the weapon
I hate crafting

Time to roll a whole-ass new weapon

Because apparently 80% first target, 79% finesse and all passive melee damage bonuses on the vet tree still aren't enough
Now I need to roll something with higher damage and pray the first target and finesse possibly being lower doesn't counterbalance the thing and screw me
You’re not gonna believe this but zealot doesn’t have the exactly the best anti-carapace options

Ogryn only has like 5 weapons that handle crushers fast
So fucking satisfying lol
Ripper guns (all 3) specifically with can-opener blessing
Mk5 and mk19 shovel with thrust and +carapace can folded atk one shot crushers
pretty much all ogryn melee weapons can fight crushers ok except knife
I suggest play with the other classes to better understand their kits

They’re usable at fighting crushers but folding shovels are the best at that

Like, u can say shield handles crushers fine, but it does not kill them very fast lol
Sadly knocking them over isn’t killing them, I wish

They nerfed crusher stagger
One message removed from a suspended account.
my power sword used to stagger crushers with 2 headshots and no longer does
There’s like a flat 2.5s stagger immunity on crushers after u successfully stagger them
Before that update you could stun lock crushers with combat axe
Can’t do that anymore
I feel like Ragers got some stagger resistance
They have a decent amount of stagger resist during their combos
havent noticed
I used to be able to dodge back and heavy attack spam to keep them at bay, now they just full combo through it and don't give a shit
Aaah that makes sense
one head height power sword heavy is usually enough to stagger the group of ragers enough that i can dodge
You need some high stagger atks to break them out of their combos
just do revolver and one tap them and still be useful for clusters or maniacs
Power sword empowered lights can
Combat axe push atk can
The poke attacks on tac axes and shovel can
slaughterer helps with staggering
You need to hit them in the head
I think
dragons claw parry can stagger a crusher out of swing lmao
DC is a good defense weapon but the carapace dmg is miserable
God forbid everything else gives u the time to parry the crusher 
Fellas, I had a cursed thought
Y’know if they’re feeling like being nice
Mayhaps and perchance
okay don't freak out on me if i'm wrong but with carapace damage im pretty sure it's in the one or two hit range
Parry feels so bad to use for me, like its fun when I do whip out a weapon with it but I just prefer the activatable of chain weapons
im just guessing from having used it on them lol
I need to give up on the movement speed aura 
Haven’t used DC much recently
Again veteran breakpoints can get pretty stupid sometimes because he has so many extra damage talents
yeah i got almost all the pertinent melee ones
The breakpoints u get with a regular DC sword vs with both +15% elite and +20% ogryn/monster are very different
don't know how people roll without them tbh
plus 20 percent weakspot on ability use
Yknow what has been pissing me off lately? The fucking crit headshot sound being the same one as when you kill something with a crit headshot.
So question if i wanted to make my melee weapon purely for horde clear and nothing els. what perks would be ideal to run. i doubt Flak and maniac is as important there.
I've left soooo many Goddamn gunners on 1 HP because of that lately
Which weapon
the gunners have been making me mad the stagger after this last big patch is straight aids lol
Psword with slaughter and stacking power on swing
Catachan MK III
Or power cycler
Slaughterer isn’t even the best on power sword anymore
Probably better tbh for horde clear
Combat knife?
flak is pertinent
You’re using combat knife for horde clear?
also unarmored
Ok first recommendation
or maniac for mix ins
At least I wasn't the only one who thought that was weird
Don’t take combat knife for horde clear
no sorry wrong name
my horde clear weapon is "stealing all the ammo"
Forgive them oh beneficent Emperor, for they knoweth not
Meh, never liked the regular swords for wave clear.
They get 'stuck' on weaker enemies rather than cleaving through them
Power sword meta rn is power cycler + BM/sunder
BM?
Big Momma
Oooh is that the one that increases impact based on how many enemies you're swinging through?
No
Impact/cleave, forget what it is
Ignore enemy hit mass on weakspot kill
Oh that one
Allows u to 1 shot 4 bruisers in one empowered hit
i had a psyker get super mad at me for bringing damage aura
whats the deal
we already had a guy with survivalist on the team
lol gunker
Health aura OP OP
actually what blessing with devil claw for horde clearing
it’s not like same auras stack
he wanted the move speed aura you dumbass
smh
give him that 5%
Savage sweep + rampage
zoomies
Rampage is must-have
you denied him the zoomies
Savage sweep could be substituted for wrath
ty
no i said i wanted more damage and hes like so that 5 percent boost is definitely helping your stats huh ive got the scoreboard mod and ive got triple your damage
dude
nft ape
but avoid devastating strike for cleave, it needs a buff
@tribal matrix
HERETIC
Scoreboard inflating egos
Aren't NFT and Lazy Ape in general spiralling into crippling debt and loses.
im supposed to ping a mod right
we are this close to greatness, Melk
good
The heretic has been slain
ive been messing around with my veteran
i have this autogun that feels good but doesnt do very good damage
which is partially why im bringing damage aura
so ive specced as hard as i can into extremely spiky weak spot damage
He even tried it in all sorts of other chats spreading like plague, thankfully we got cool warden 
Which autogun
let me check
If it’s a braced autogun don’t bother with weakpoint dmg
but its a brown autogun not a headhunter and not a braced
