The other clas chats give a shit about documentation
Whaaat
Outside of that, no idea
No no no
We are very shooty with many different weapons and playstyle
We have a lot more ways to min max
You have a gun document that's hand typed and formatted like a high school paper
So with more possibilities come more contentions
That's like...it
We have contentious videos that we all gotta dog pile and argue on
Because the videos about vet are burning a hole in me
someone aught to post a really bad class breakdown akin to an ogrynomicon for vet, then just wait for the corrections to roll in and have the community do the heavy lifting lol
I just did the maths
Gloryhunter IV +25%
Confirmed Kill +30%
Both combined +55%
I have 163 toughness
That’s 89.7 toughness on one elite proc, which is around 13 toughness for everybody else
Anyway, I do wish I didn't have to stitch together screenshots to show of my scuffed kit
So is it possible to use a melee build with a knife
also Mk 6 or Mk 3 for the knife
Usually don’t have that high toughness
So a 13 toughness gain for a psyker is like his 10%
Use this website
If u really think abt it
The tree's just the one from the video
No I mean yeah there's the planner but it doesn't show you what I actualy have
Try taking Gunner Resistance on your curios, at least 2 of them
It will change your life
I mean I'm using what I have
Curios are kind of a hassle
I'm still trying to get my weapons right before i start dumping plasteel into these
if gunner res extended to basic ads gunners it would be so much better
To block and sprint
Change it to gunner resistance, it's relatively cheap
Hmm, why sprint efficiency?
Still best perk for curios though
Extend to shooter is OP
It just feels good to be able to sprint a lot. Leave me with more stamina to push and stuff with
If you’re using less stamina to go to places then u have more stamina when u enter melee
Don't need the block eff though
hmmhmhmmhmhmm
And u can sprint really long
Yeah just those two rolls makes a huge difference
very tiny
Losing my mind on these fr
That's not what she said
lul
Also
but yeah drop block efficiency and combat ability imo
*scream
The Mx12 is a little better
Oh no why did I subject myself to this video again
Just stop watching 
Oh this is basically my tree already, I just have superiority complex and reciprocity instead
yeah that's fine
recip is better than the other node
just takes more points to grab onslaught then
Thank God more and more people realize Catch a Breath is slightly better than Get Back
colum v 🙏
how could i have been blind for so long
for reference because the director was smoking that evil blunt
honest to god the most highest of intensities ive ever seen that has to not be intended i promise it bugged out
watching with mine own cadian purple orbs as group after group of specialists spawns in a room over and over
i mean its auric heresy
and a couple of the dudes left and joined so there were more they killed before they said fuck this
youre smoking that evil pack as well if you think 59 specials in a 30 minute match is casual
idk how many more i could have killed, just aiming straight and holding the trigger they were running into it
i would like to see a grenade stat though since thats my build, like how many i popped off and stuff
as you can imagine with the numbers you see, that % chance for a grenade to spawn in my pocket was very high
last thing a stupid ass sniper sees
GBITF needs a shorter cooldown or smth
@bitter turtleOh hey what would you do with this tree if I were to switch to power sword?
probably drop desperado
and play around with breakpoints
for crushers
25% attackspeed powersword cleaves through hordes like butter so all that really matters is you can hit whatever breakpoint you want on a crusher and then dump the rest of the points in grenades or more gun dmg
in that case i'd probably dip into superiority complex
seeing a community guide from this place would be funny tbh
it really depends on your psword though
the braindead redditor plasma psword meta build
mine cant do the 2shot on crushers no matter how i build my tree
so
i'd go more into my gun dmg regardless since as long as it does the 3 shot it doesnt really matter to pick up more melee dmg for me
every other enemy gets turned to swiss cheese with the aspd boost on psword so you dont need to think too much on that
Also vet balancing is weird
Every patch a new guide
Good luck
we acknowledge what (on paper) is the meta but also laugh at those who exclusively chase it
Psyker is such a bad class god damn, it hurts so much to use
i want to know if im just an asshole or if the public opinion is the same in thinking its boring and dry as hell
idc what people play as long as it doesnt interrupt my fun
Generally you choose between horrible damage or horrible crowd control in comparison with any other class, and if you dare fight for your life, chances are youll either blow yourself up or get swarmed because you can't fight back against anything
Not saying it'd be horrible for everyone but god is it a downgrade from nothing for me
Or damage in general
however: illisi force sword and bubble dome
Killing more than one elite in a swarm is a nearly impossible task sometimes
i may be wrong but i played psyker and loved it at launch then dropped in in feb.
I've seen trauma and surge does absurdly well though
i think it was just brain burst when i played then they nerfed it
Gun Psyker does pretty well
Surge in particular is the worst weapon I've ever used in a game before
So much so I'm tempted to invest in a good Surge staff
yeah trauma will stunlock an elite patrol and kill hordes if allowed to cook
damn those stats, ouch
It'll never target elites or specials when you need it to, and when it finally does it'll take 1-2 fully charged bursts to kill them
It suffers from pre-buff outcast engineer syndrome, unless your team is good enough you're doomed
And at that point why not just use zealot or veteran, the good classes that don't need no babysitting
man i still havent in 600 hours seen (1) god damn dumdum i dont get it
I think surge waveclear and elite clear are fine?
It sucks at boss damage though
Which is psykers im general
bricked
Gunkers aside
They're ok at best, the primary, which is shared with practically every other staff is the main appeal to it for me
the emperor keeps fucking with me with these "gifts"
I've never disliked doing anything more than going to heresy or above with a surge staff but that's probably just me
Scryer’s Gaze is pretty fun tho
more staff psykers means more ammo for me 
are you being sarcastic
even if i gotta peel the exploded ones off the floor occasionally
Have any of you found yourself grimacing in a bad situation like you're feeling it
surge staff can pretty much carry HI damnations and even in auric because you can snipe elites and specials right as they spawn or appear
i find myself wincing mag dumping a bolter into a bunch of crushers
also its the easiest low ceiling skill staff to use
we really need difficulty 6 and raider io or something
put a pin on people who actually know how to play the game so you can discard the redditor misinfo
i think the difficulty is fine as it is
Personally I've never had less fun using a staff
Eh thats up to you
Or any ranged weapon tbf
I've had fun with every class
rolled a profane ia lasgun, the stats are well-rounded I think?
I don't think any less of any class, they're all good in their own way
Maybe I'm overexaggerating but man, I can't remember enjoying playing psyker
its actually insane how wrong you are
where you can experiment with all the weird builds
but its to be expected from people in here
game i just finished 5 min ago
Your sample size of maybe 5-10 people?
I really can't find myself performing as well with psyker as any oher class
hadron wtf did you do
Maybe it's just not built for my brain but I genuinely cannot enjoy or use psyker well
How many games have you played with psyker and what are your builds
Salvageable but not most ideal
i’d be more worried about the hadron rolls, stats hopefully won’t cheat you out of any important breakpoints on a 1a
oh
yeah hadron fucked me over, again
i see
like when I'm not going full support psyker I generally do the most damage
every game
time to farm more plasteel yippeee
every damnation and auric game
well I guess its somewhat of an improvement over to my old one?
my psyker main friend gets 1mil dmg every time i drag him to play a game with me (he quit because the game is too easy)
I do the least damage as brittle trauma shield smite psyker but who cares because I'm enabling my team to kill everything as easy as possible as fast as possible
So the stats dont even say everything
Psyker is arguably my main class, in 200 hours it's my second most played class
I haven't played for a while though, figured I'd pick up builds from psyker-class and start at lower difficulties, just to figure out how they feel
Smite and kickback melt everything
yeh
just use bad loadouts on purpose like reddit sword to give yourself a challenge
the ranged damage perks don't give me much confidence in the recent roll however
Have you tried LMB psyker :^)
he has used every single psyker weapon and loadout its too ez because psyker is the strongest class in the game by far
I can run anything on heresy just fine, but surge staff just aint it
how can I salvage this
i feel the exact same way but for veteran
surge staff is very good idk what you're on about
Use it roughly as much or more than the charged surge, bcause the lmb is actually good for me
you can easily bring it to auric damnation easily
Clearly not
Thats probably your problem then
gotta deal with 1 dead perk i guess, can’t even tell which is worse
I've tried surge staff only builds
Maybe I have severe brain damage and shouldn't be let out of an insane asylum, maybe its just a me problem like I've been trying to say
no melee no G
A true hadron moment
ughhhhh
I think its sort of the playstyle and mindset
I did have trouble when I first started psyker
similar to ogryn
like you have to tune your gameplay and mindset
with each class
She gave me 1.5 stamina
tis' a shotgun
I would have to assume so
Psyker is about as bizarre as placing an energy drink next to apples, oranges, and a banana
it is the only spell caster class
Playstyle doesn't fit in with the others even slightly
I would say ogryn's the major outlier though instead of psyker
It’s strange in like it’s the only class where you technically need to juggle between 3 weapons (blitz, melee & ranged)
especially melee ogryn
that takes a bit to get used to
I can play ogryn off of experience from the other classes, Psyker is a different beast even after playing it for so long
I’m not that familiar with surge staff but isn’t that one of the best anti-special tools u can have on psyker
I like trauma more for that, crowd control too
its autoaim, and arguably the best weapon for ventilation purge and lights out
because you wave your wand in a certain direction and you find enemies by killing them
30m away
Autoaim kinda screws me sometimes, targets the wrong enemies when there's a horde
never really had that issue
maybe takes 2-3 tries but I can snipe elites and specials inside the horde
I’m pretty sure it still tries to focus on the target you’re directly aiming at
It’s like aiming brain burst
You can definitely carry games with trauma without ever switching to your melee
But generally I'd say psyker scales better the harder the game is aka High Intensity
and packs of elites/specials
Overwatch penance is last, yet teams not willing to help
high int dogs smite + kickback
Like I don't have to kite that much against a group of 10 crushers because every time they get up I can just make them fall over again
help with what
Apart from dps its pretty important because it provides space for your entire team
Psyker has one of the best -CD talents in the game so yea
Getting it, teammates been stopping me
by being bad?
Finished all veteran penaces except this
No, like letting me have to deal with orde by myself
Because we LOVE penances that aren't based on teamworks
play with better players
I'm gonna try the ledge idea
overwatch is mostly
which is a good autogun for stripped down?
As long as u run duck & dive, any (IAG / Braced)
It’s never a bad pick
speedload for stripped down, elites to flak I guess
stamina curios help a ton
Yep, it skill, even when they get behind you without warning
yes
playing with randoms or on auric you should expect to solo parts of the game
I’d actually swap carapace to flak/maniac
hrm
yeah I think thats fine too
Braced autoguns just don’t kill crushers that well
I'll do the throw myself over the ledge thing
Carapace is somewhat redundant
theyll revive you
has anybody bought that green revolver skin in the shop and realized the front aim post is gone?
also you do hear sounds when enemies are about to attack you so you can block
make a lfg game
Yes lol
I got it in a random damnation game the other day

yeah, it's a known bug seemingly
somehow took 200+ ranged damage
I didn't buy it
and 0 melee
Since that the only penance I need to be done
They are coming back frokm holiday
i bought it but i'm used to it now i just eyeball
Then can do the missions for fun while going for that black helmet
theey'll fix eet
Carapace -> maniac/flak (I think maniac?)
Speed load -> stripped down/fire frenzy
1 low intensity
2 stamina curios
3 melee build
4 not completely bad teammates
everything
I mean compared to the other autoguns
good bodyshot damage and not having to aim
They’re surprisingly good at killing specials in a mixed horde

at least on the agri, the stagger and suppression is appreciable
The stagger is high enough to fend off ragers
And because of the cleave u can pick out flamers, trappers and bombers through a horde fairly well
U also kill hordes pretty fast with braced autogun
i like to run agri brautos for basically 90% ranged damage games
just shoot that shit all the time and not have to worry about ammo
But importantly. Shoot through ogryns
Having the ability to shoot through teammate ogryns is actually such a huge bonus to gameplay
good luck
tis gonna take a lot of sessions
I'm trying to find stripped down
and three whites to blues gave me terrifying barrage 3 three times in a row
hadron pls
at least give me other blessings to earn
me trying to find headhunter for my ia lasgun
Dont forget to chek Uncle Melk from time to time. You might have luck with an Agri with that blessing
everyday on all 5 veterans
i got nothing i want since october
but i got some 4s for weapons i might use some day
What do you want?
Havent seen a PC4 still
i also want powercycler i suppose even though im not too fond of the weapon
But even then I'm just annoyed by it that I'll probably never use the power sword
I'm an old guardsman. Define "anything meta on the weapon"
there is more i want. i just forgot
I've tried everything except braced autoguns and knives on veteran
anything thats toptier on respective weapon
melk never gives me blessings that are actually good recently
except uncanny on knife but i dont like knife so itll be a while until i get something out of that
can you zoom as fast as zealots if you run knife
if you didnt cheat it well done
I don't play knife zealot but the vet with a knife is very fast if you take the +speed node and even faster when you ult with invisibility
im using something like this, ill be honest i think the reload talents could be better used somewhere else but the quick reload is cool
Bullshit aside, I'm starting to like the rachad Caxe
What'cha got on it
Those heavies go hard
Hate that auric dam is the only ones that consistently have the fun conditions
Brutal momentum and...uhhhh
I don't remember
I closed the game and I'm allergic to logging into it right now so
But it's gud
Headtaker, Decimatoe 
Uh, honestly? I don't really like any of these conditions
Save for the hounds or maybe lights out from time to time
But the damn ventilation or the hi intensity shit is just sweaty and tazing for no good reason
My hands are still shaking from the constant 11 I have to be set to to navigate those missions
Oh I think it's headtaker btw

I want 4 chaos spawns, lights out and ten maulers sneaking up behind me and maybe I’ll feel something again
lol
I’m not saying I’ll win those damnation conditions
In fact I’ll lose that’s why I won’t play that
Yeah nah, I'm not here for this "maybe I'll win" shit
But I’d like lights out and other stuff in heresy more
I have materials to farm
rude
should I??
I’m not kidding lol
Look I can hold my own but I cannot hold the rest of the team's own too
I mean if I'm going to go down in levels I'm not going past malice
Absolutely
I wanted to try a gun so I did sedition and they never broke pace, full sprint, map over in 15 minutes
With how much actual plasteel banked?
So it's salvageable?? I thought the perk+blessing is borked up
god i want more plasteel
Like no kappa
i feel like an actual homeless person
We'd have more plasteel if consecratino didn't lean on it so hard
You could swap the plasteel and diamantine costs on that one thing and bandaid fix the material economy instantly
im gunna replace hadrons hydration oil with vinegar
thatll teach her to stop wasting all my plasteel
it’s fucked there but you can keep hit and run I’d say
yeah, I'd keep Hit&Run and +reload
Mmm I take back my statement that’s pretty bricked and for 2400 melk bucks idk
but I feel like my thinking alway have some flaw so I tend to ask you all first
But that’s just me
I just looked at modifiers first glance
The perks and blessings are wild
the modifier is very tempting lol
stamina I’d say keep
Reload speed is whatever anyway since it’s a graia
Stamina might help something
Again I'd take the stamina any day
Unfortunate perks and blessing
if you use the aim down sights abilitiy itll be good probably
Especially on vet
It's not ideal obvi but it feels ok as a scuffed option when I gotta choose one
Like those base stats are not something I'd pass up
But those 80s
Right?
I’m a sucker for 80s
Exactly
I feel like Melk read my mind and saw that I planned his murder today
damn thats a good one
like.... wft, coins ain't easy to find, man
Perks is kinda mid but it’s alright if you’re into stripped down gameplay
It no longer gave the speed boost so I kinda meh with SD now
hadron dies first, barber second and melk third
thoughts on this?
pass
I like it tho, the purple gun
melk will just put up straight ass and stand there for 24 entire hours like an asshole
thanks, i'll just earn the blessing
mostly because I ADS and see all shot miss because I tap head is funny
has ghost always been on weak spot???
hitting weak spots is hard 😦 and on maulers hitting their head is not weak
Did It work different from Laspistol? I use it on Zealot to close in for hammer
autogun go brrrrrrrrr
just aim a little above their forhead for a crowd
BUZZZZZZZZZ
weak spots until atoma is saved
mowing the smelly lawn
Take a look if you'd be so kind, lmk what you think.
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9b20e76f-b1b5-44a1-825a-b535065729bf/braced-autogun-power-sword-pubstomp
that thumbnail lmao
youd have to get a real good second blessing for this not to be trash
i HATE weapon specialist so my only tweak would be fucking off with melee speed and weapon specialist and hitting the toughness and damage reduction in the middle and left tree
but my main grenadier build runs that combo and i say good build regardless
Based autogun enjoyer 💪
i dont like weapon specialist or that one where you stand still
those are just so underwhelming
build looks fine, i love the BRauto gun because its good out of the box so you can make a really customized build around it
Really? I've used the other keystones and was pretty underwhelmed by them, Popped this and it just clicked for me.
Personally i dont use any keystones
Agri BA, my beloved.
If i were doing quickplay with this i would also take charismatic for the +50% aura, at the top. It's really handy in pub games
mostly cause more allies in coherency means more ammo for you
And people think i pick it to be supportive 
Definitely something to consider, reccomendations on where I'd move the talent point from?
stinky build
powersword (with powercycler) and braced are good out of the box so really up to you
superiority complex is what i'd swap, 15% elite is nice but i'd rather have the aura radius
(if you really want a keystone)
I do, like it a lot
hi int shock troop gauntlet is the most fun. i love getting mauled by 20 crushers while my abilities are on cooldown
at least brunt has some good stuff
based brunt
stripped down with a deadeye build whats the explanation
If you guys like the build I'd appreciate an upvote to get it off the ground, not a big deal tho, thanks for the feedback.
#veteran-class message
you sprint towards a nice flank, and then unload 💪
but tbh with the Agri you can take any blessings, none of them are really a 'must-have' imo
so stripped down can work if its how you play personally
anti synergy with deadeye
that's a good point indeed
is it?
how often do you deadeye i suppose. But yeah i can see better synergies
It's deathspitter
the issue is the stripped-down activate condition, and with deadeye you'll be on low stamina often
you can just sprint slide to avoid ranged damage its why you took duck and dive right?
we're going by this image
why do you need stripped down on top of it
duck and dive with stripped down works quite well
its unnessesary
The duck and Dive & 2 stam regen, 3 sprint efficiency perks help with stam
you are overcompesation for something that is not a threat to begin with
just stop running if you need stam for Deadshot*
Comes down to personal preference i'd say. BRauto works well with anything, but i don't know the guys playstyle, if he runs and guns a lot or hunkers down
Assuming you mean Deadshot & not Deadeye
the build is not bad, its def not the worst ive seen but it just has a bunch of anti synergy
It's nice not to have to play like an ADHD kid on Ritalin and just spam slide all the time :/
if you take 4%x3 cdr and have 6% on special kill you will shout nonstop
that's the idea
Keep your team alive and get yourself some space to keep shooting
this make reciprocity worthless because nothing will even be hitting you
the way i do BRauto is (ab)use a lot of suppression so i never have to sprint slide. Coupled with the (totally) balanced toughness regen from the shout and you can just walk up 💪
how do you get crit chance from dodge if everything is either dead from powersword 1 swing or on the floor from shout?
When you're fighting hordes with pwrsword it procs more often than you'd think, helps with healthier targets
can get pretty hectic
If it works for you then why not
i never see value out of it
it doesn't proc on my builds either often (so i stopped taking it), but i do see a lot of people advocating for the talent so 🤷♂️
stacks up to 5 times too
also not taking close quarters killzone on a build with 2 essentially melee range weapons is a weird decision
15% dmg for 10 sec on a basically 50% uptime is kinda insane
80 damage 80 ammo 💪
All a space AK enjoyer needs
Who the F pinged me
does stripped down proc reciprocity
that's a very good question 
Yes
proofs?
thats awesome
It procs both DnD and Reci
that gun
ok thats p good
give it to me
fatshark loves 80, 380 top rating...
Anything that makes u immune to ranged puts u in a "dodge" state
i'll have to try it out for sure, to see how long you can keep the crit up
Has been this case for a year
So it works for Ghost as well right?
Close Quarters Killzone, you mean this?
yeah, take the one on the left instead
i dont know i would not take weapon specialist or that side of the tree at all
but i guess its a hybrid build
oh.. well. That'd be a different build altogher then
is veteran the best class?
survivalist and fully loaded assumes you want to be shooting alot
knife braced gun build...?
Deadshot doesnt reduce spread
all classes are the best class 💪
It's sway reduction
Agri BA is a machine gun.
it does make it into a laser beam when trying to shoot snipers
The hipfire has no spread
but Ogryn is best boy
How are you gonna hipfire a sniper 
Kraber has entered the chat
With a grenade
works on my agri build, i like the extra accuracy but thats cause i always dump at least 5+ bullets downrange. It has value for sure
who's the knife guy here again
Its not extra accuracy
As a note
Its sway reduction
when spraying it is
Alternatively, just aim and shoot him, Agri BA kills in like one or two hits
when new veteran class skills?
U mean bracing it?
me
someone give me a good knife build for weapon specialist
It doesnt really affect bracing either
Yeah, same difference
Well, it makes it accurate enough for me to crossmap snipers so :/
I guess it reduces the side to side sway but unlike IAG its not random
@ sunriseparabellum
this is what id take to shoot agri brauto all game long
I assume thats for boss killing
I want something a lil bit more flexible for weapon specialist
and i get hate everytime i post it
burning stamina for the extra crit is nice too because (it feels like) it pierces through the horde a lot more, but again it comes down to personal preference. I quite like deadshot for killing the sniper thats 80m away quick, with a gun that has a lot of difficulty doing that normally.
so you normally dont brace?
Crits dont have increased pierce sadly
:c
Probably just the extra DPS killing elites then
And crits on brauto do basically nothing
almost never, even with deadshot
deadshot is just a damage increase but the agri already does not struggle with shitting dmg
Yeah, that's definitely a different build, you sacrifice some good damage with the Sword there
I think its like 1.3x
cringe sword needs 0 talents to do what it does
Which is terrible compared to the avg of 2.25x
wondering if I should take onslaught just to be able to kill crushers easier with the agri braced
damn brunt
That's true, but any crit better than no crit. Doesn't get as much value as other guns out of it for sure
you honestly dont need to, if you have a melee like mk3 shovel that can deal with carap you dont need it
deadshot for me personally is just purely the sway reduction, and i like spraying too much
should i grab any of these?
For the braced?
Okay can knife kill carapace 
yes
Yes
Easily
it 2 shots carap
Push attacks and heavies shred cara
I also just really like the Power sword, whatever lets me be as effective as I can with these particular weapons makes me happy
everyone has a cringe redditor powersword phase
knife 6 it is
you will grow out of it
same
Maybe, but for now, and for about 250 hours I've enjoyed it
It's done, its finally done
i have a literally perfect godrolled powersword sitting in my inventory from a year ago and i dont even think about using it
boring slow unfun weap
PS used to be a braindead weapon that taught bad habits
it still is
See, weapon specialist fixed the slow part :)
sprint efficiency fr
Rashad is the new brain off melee
Possibly
Wdym by this btw? I've heard this before but they didn't explain why?
thats knife tbh
bad habits?
Nah knife actually requires some fundamentals
Like learning to push. Managing stamina. Dodging
activate poopsword > swing into anything > free kill
Grawr, IDK if you paid attention to the ping
I was asking who the fuck pinged me earlier lmao
But I played the Helbro build with VoC/no keystone/MS aura
What waz ping
How did it go
i hate when hadron gives me a blessing i already have on a weapon thats 370+
DECENT
Aye
well, I think that mostly depends on the player and not the weapon but ok.
I can share the scoreboard if you’re fancy seeing the result
Nah psword also sucked at all of the fundamentals
🤔
Bayo go brrr?
It was an odd change of pace from switching to melee, to actively special-stabbing everything
Ps3 still sucks at the fundamentals
thanks for the chat guys, gonna bounce for now.
Aye
Bayo funni gud
But surprisingly effective
It kills trappers in 1 stab iirc
and the mk 3 bayonet cant
very tempting
yes
Or if u dont have a good shovel at all
Buy it. Swap limbsplitter and weakspot damage
consume it or use it as placeholder
i could take it from this, but this is kinda usable (not done yet)
i have collected many shovels
the reason i am playing vet
how good is the new shovels? is it anti-hoard/elite?
I didn't outkill Illisi Psyker in melee kills. I'll get them next time 
I also just noticed how much overkill damage I dealt that game lmao
melk also has this, i just noticed the mobility was this low lmao
defuq dat excel scoreboard
Dayum so close
Absolutely shredded them elites and specials thou
Also I was killed by landing on an out of bounds terrain by randomly dropping some pipes, on Vigil Station
Before mid event, somewhere on the bridge
Amazing
Indeed. I have learned not to trust my instincts for smartly navigating map terrain
No ledge hanging, just quick and painful death
Oof
Classic L4D drop tech fail
whats a meta meta S tier vetern weapon to use rn
these are other shovel, ran out of plasteel with the mk3
Revolver
Or plasma gun
Plasma if ur braindead
Revolver if ur just looking for something broken
Melee or ranged?
(Or both?)
range
i ran revolver it snot meta when helbore outfits it
Grawr got the options right, then
plasma gun is a garuanteed s weapon with it being a heavy weapon yes that i agree
Helbro is SLEPT ON
but i mean rifles
you using surgical + handcannon?
yes still helbore outclasses it
surgical and onsluaght on a gun that has a flat stat of 8 sharge ammo use on a 105 capacity gun
with a melee attachment that stacks with your melee perks
and also has stagger with a quick reload and a good damage drop off with great break points
From the objective POV, I don’t think Helbros outclass the revolver (because the revolver is just karking stupid in damage department + is usable on all human classes), but there certainly are moments where Helbro is preferred over a revolver
With them being a melee/ranged hybrid certainly adding some flavour and flexibility
Best longarm atm is Columnus IAG if ur looking for full auto/burstfire
Helbore if not
Plasmagun for just point and click adventures
Plasma gun is just easy
Yes
kinda ignores bulwarks is kinda big cash
I don’t like the fact it’s been made very one-dimensional
There’s no reason basically to right-click, ever
100 cleave 
Mmm pancake 
Why position well and get rewarded for it when you can just delete the horde and 3 specials in it
Ngl i feel like most darktide tier lists atm isnt about how good the weapon is
Its about how braindead it is to use lmao
It’s how easy it is* to use
Ye
Yes, exactly
welcome back to tier lists my friend
Bias is a thing we can’t ever run from, we can try to minimize it for sure but they’ll still be hints of it
Isn't that most tier lists anyways
Eh kinda not really
I… kind of disagree. DRG for instance has a lot of weapons that have low skill floor but high skill ceiling
Isn't something being braindead a sign that it's so good you don't even need to think to use it?
Its usually both
🤔
For instance, CRSPR flamethrower
maybe is just my experience
Not necessarily
Maybe it is. I generally tend not to rely on tier lists for anything and form my opinions on things
I know for instance what’s the state of all Ogryn weapons and where they fall short, or where they over perform
It means you dont need to put a lot of effort to get most of the value out of it
I.e. its a skill pancake
That doesnt necessarily mean its super good in terms of power levels
i mean running it its just outclasses bolter
as a heavy weapon
Nah
Yes but no rather
Its easier than bolter
Thats for sure
But bolter has some quirks like 1 shotting ragers. Going ammo neutral. Boss busting, etc
Id say a well played bolter can come close to a plasma
Thing is you need to put in 5x the effort
its easier and better
bolter can shoot through walls
has better ammo economy and crit rate
Plasma's main thing is it ignores suppression and stagger, has no recoil or sway or spread, and infinite cleave
Bolter usally requires more talents to be invested into making it function then the plasma
But if u can play around those. Bolter has better breakpoints than plasma
Waiting for the day mis-venting your plasma gun has a 1% chance to instantly melt your face off 
Its just playing around those requires effort
Thats in my opinion why bolter doesn’t feel great.
Also its not brain dead
I fkin love plasma. Especially with the focus keystone you really hit some nice breakpoints
When i actually get to the point of making bolter work im mostly out of talent points.
Fair
Plasma meanwhile gets atleast 5 points to spread around.
Execution is solid I think tbh
Maybe can have a few QoL buffs
But bolter is a solid weapon
People are just spoilt by revolver
Which is broken
Yes, up to 15m
bolter do be accurate 👌
In fact with longshot it has ramp up
Sway+surpression makes me wanna kms tryna snipe a group of 7 gunners 30m away
- Just take suppression immunity
deadshot is great on it, might aswell
Yep, I run Deadshot and Surgical on bolter
- Even then bolter 1 taps gunners in the body
bolbgun
if you can spare the points, the +30 stam for dodging an attack means that bolter has almost constant deadshot uptime
Maybe im just spoilt by the plasma gun 1 shotting 7 shotgunners
Seems like a non issue
Is gonna be a pain in the ass to nerf plasma without making it feel like shit
Ye plasma isnt strong
Like aim and target aquisition?
Like not learning positioning
How to take cover
Whats positioning?
How to space shots between dodges
added 1% chance when getting shot for the plasma coil to get hit and blow up
run to the enemy in glorious close quarters combat
its when you hold M1 with an autogun and walk at the enemy 💪
Oh, thank you lad. I was already doing that 
But like the thing about plasma is it also has very little to improve on as u get better
btw I have a question of utmost importance
Why Bolter has 4 dodges
and Brauto has 2
It doesnt scale well with player skill
is the autogun HEAVIER!?
it WHAT
It has 4 dodges before penalty
both high mobility?
at least mine
helbore 3 is my jam and I love it
just because its less easy to use a lot less people use it
Bolter is
Brauto I am not sure mobility of mine
Brauto sounds like its under 50
it should show you the upper limit regardless i think
But ye bolter has +1 dodge iirc over brauto
Mine is the same as his, brauto has 2 dodges and bolter 4.
Every time someone says Brauto I keep thinking Boruto
same
Story of so many weapons in the game
Vraks 7
Helbores
I do think sometimes of the Braton of Warframe
agri brautos? wonder if there may be a pattern difference if you check graia or columnus
Even the IAGs
Good point, let me see
can't check today
Anyways, bolter has silly dodge 
and I love it
because it allows me to dance while sniping specials
Its v nice to bolter dance ye
Gib me a second, poxwalker, you will get your emperor mercy allowance after I deal with the bomber
I’d use bolter a lot more if it had 30% more ammo and equip speed a lil bit faster
All have 2 dodges. For some reason the mobility stat on the bolter gives extra dodges, whereas on the BRauto it doesn't
as to why that is, only the shark knows
Bolter atm has enough ammo tbh. A slightly faster equip I think no one will complain about
I can gamble they don't either
As long as it isnt as fast as the IAGs
But like
Or iLas
I want to use bolter to unload into hordes
...
i had taken for granted that all mobility stats scaled dodge limit
And I cant do that with current ammo
I never have ammo problem tbh
running scavenger

I dont think bolter will ever be able to do this without being broken sorry
Cos lile
Thats not +30% ammo
Thats like
I would like a lighter Bolter variant though
survivalist + 25% extra ammo and you can do it quite well. Not as braindead as with a BRauto but its quite ammo efficient
+1000% ammo
Bolter has terrible damage vs infested.
ammo neutral with crit vs elites and as long as the team is doing their part
It has decent cleave which is why
you should be 50+%
Fortunately theres only 3 infested enemies
When you running scavenger but the whole squad splits in 4 directions killing elites away from you 🤕
Its really satisfying
that’s why we make poxhounds catch chainswords instead of bolt rounds in their teeth
the one with dodge is the boltgun. Never take anything for granted in this game, it's all cryptic
lmao
they just don't get dodges
Brauto t hat should be used in close

don't need it when you suppress the enemies enough i suppose, which is why i havent noticed the lack of it too much. But it is very odd why its different
Suppresion is nice
Some hordes, not all hordes I mean.
who tf is crabwalking with brauto
I magdump hordes with Bolter if we are at the end nad there is ammo to spare

Aye
Ngl its kinda unfun to play with someone that constantly dumps hordes with bolters though
Or rippers
Or kickback
If i'm survivalist vet then they can go at it
Or p12 shredder
Also yeah obviously I don’t do it if the team is using ammo as well
Not just ammo but like
kickback getting to do it the whole game when survivalist is active 
Someone dumping hordes with ranged and killing them all kinda makes the other three people twiddle their thumbs for a good chunk of the mission
We've had this issue several times
I don’t really care
P12 Shredder was the worst case.
Where it was horrendously unfun to play with shredder abusers on the team
Doesn't sound like an issue you run into in quickplay i suppose
I’ve been running melee vet with autopistol and its pretty good
Since P12 there hasnt been a weapon broken enough to clear hordes at a rate P12 shredder did
fair enough
So its no longer an issue
good ol ius autopistol with +100% pinning fire damage
But an efficient horde clear ranged weapon kinda runs into the P12 shredder problem
hit like an agri brauto while being twice as nimble and more accurate
Recon obviously

I mean P13 recon was that
It was meh into elites and specials
But u could shoot forever into hordes
And it was annoying to play with a vet that did just that
It wasnt OP, just frustrating for a lot of people
I don’t think many people care either
me recreating the wheeled volleygun scene from astartes
Nah it was a pretty common complaint at P13
Cos a lot of recon vets werent doing much except making the game harder for their melee allies
How is it making the game harder
Less hordes = less toughness for melee chars + more exposure to ranged elites
Getting distracted from being shot in the back 
- easier for multiple elites to gang up on one guy
But yeah, primarily due to hordes dying from recon lasfire
i wouldn’t say having infinite rending ammo made things harder, other than lacking shot stagger
anything you had a firing angle on and sufficient time died
Basically the lower the horde to elite ratio, the harder the game
Yea but that requires aiming
Remember people pick weapons for braindeadness
The melee only auric missions are pretty easy though
And P13 Recon was popular for braindead horde dumping
that being said, recon reverse falloff getting sacked was a good thing in my book
not shocktrooper crit strings though
Idk I feel that the game’s easier without any hordes and only elites
is that really a bad thign though?
i mean its a big projectile
Not necessarily. Its justthat its a braindead weapon
Plasma needs some level of skill scaling somewhere
Doesnt have to be the aim complexity
Smaller projectile, less cleave, some falloff damage, requires right mouse charge to effectively kill carapace
Good enough
It doesnt have to be more complex
Ok i guess it requiring a bit more aim
Atm its a skill pancake
So balancing is hard
When its a skill pancake just make it somewhat above average compared to other options
Like
Surge staff for psyker is pretty much that
Then its a meta choice
Nah surge staff is below avg
It really isn’t
Yes
