i have maniac and elite damage on mine and it does
With a 0.85x headshot multiplier
i can one shot everything but ogryns without a crit
They so ezpz to clap tho. Carapace armor goes hard apparently
and flak ragers
Bullshit
and maulers lol
Maulers
sorry forgot those
and mutant lol
I think they want you to pretend it doesn't have a alt fire
I don’t understand, revolver bullets pass right through the enemy and therefore count as a miss?
It doesnt
gotcha, yeah
lmb i mean
Cos its faster to just lmb twice
Rmb on plasma is worthless atm
Except for + cara plasmas where ok u can 1 shot crusher wooo
fellow shootman enjoyers, is there a consensus on plasma vs revolver? i've usually been a plasma guy but i've been trying revolver and it seems pretty good
Volver is stronger, plasma is easier
wild statement
In that case can volver easily one tap without rmb?
is there a canon reason why regular revolver bullets do so much damage
I’ve found charged shot ok at killing crushers because it’s usually better for me to 1 shot instant kill than to use the same amount of ammo but need to shoot thrice
When you can probably 2 tap the crusher and save ammo if you aim for the head
we're actually wielding boltpistols in disguise
Nah its 3 tap with lmb
So itd equal ammo usage
It’s 3 if u build for carapace dmg
So you’re gonna need 9 ammo anyways
One charged shot to head is 9 ammo and would instantly kill crusher
No, if you hit once it'll count as 1 hit
If you miss a shot you'll need to make up 10 shots
On plasma the rmb is so fucking slow u can fire a surg bolter twice with 100% crit rate before the plasma is charged
That's what I'm trying to convey
Sure a crit or Longshot doesn't kick in for the 2 shot?
So just fire the plasma lmb 2-3x
Plasma has falloff
Longshot just barelt negates it
Its not the end of the world if you miss, but if you miss you're gonna need to work harder to bring back your accuracy to 90%
Plasma has garbage finesse
Charge plasma is only worth it to kill 1 crusher and to have enough heat so you bring a lot of value out of gets hot very quickly
That’s it
So crits arent that big
If you like stats padding, plasma is better
If you like consistency and not worry about heat at bad timings, revolver is better
They’re not that big but they give u a couple breakpoints I think
Like rager 1 shot
i love revolver but theres a lot to be said about reload time
In a real game, the crusher probably took team damage so...1-3 shots
Gunner 1 shot
plasma can shoot for days
What reload time
Volver doesnt reload
on revolver
Gunner 1 shot doesn’t need crit iirc
Unless ur talking bodyshot
Nop
That's not a thing because Noone runs anything but weapons specialist
I was thinking of finesse headshot
Sarcasm lol
Just not true
With volver u run wep spec
yeah you still reload a bunch
omg ok
Sarcasm
Its a downright broken build but it removes the main issue with rld speed
Honestly not worth giving up the tag
It also combos perfectly with agile engagement
Well "don't need to" assuming you only fire 1 or so shots when you switch 
heres the one shot noncrit on rager i was talking about
Which is another insane build
Yellow number is crit…
Thosr are yellow numbers
Lol no
ITS A LARGER FUCKING FONT
Its not 🥹
im really not
You really are
how do you screen record
I've tested crusher BP's using print screen the text doesn't change to yellow
That's a crit
Print screen doesnt magically change colours
it literally does on mine i swear lmao
Just give up man this person was saying earlier that revolvers problem is cleave not damage, and to them everyone runs weapons spec lol. You ain't gonna win this argument they just gonna keep going
Yea no like
Do u have Nvidia or AMD graphics card
Your print screen doesn't change white text to yellow
lmao
nvidia
Lmao
You can use GeForce overlay to record
They're both alt+z
ok one sec
Alt+Z to open GeForce overlay, record screen
Or control shift s for screenie
Be aware that GeForce record will include any Nvidia filters you have applied to your game
If you’re one of those people that unironically play on 100 saturation your recording will look as weird as your game
did that worki
You got handbrake?
idk what that is
Doesn’t work
It's a video encoder
good lord
Download fast it's small and free
HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder.
do i just put my nvidia vid in there
.mp4?
Just drag the vid into that select fast 1080/30fps
Sure
now what
Hit the green button
Now shoot the flak rager
i cant one shot those i said already
Yes shoot it
naw naw yall were saying i was getting crits
Plas cannot hit both bps
i was not
U were
This is a fucking crit
it isnt it turned yellow when i hit print screen
Sorry to be asking this here but does anybody know to fix darktide from crashing because of shaders cache?
That impossible
Uh huh
why would i lie when i can clearly one shot without crit
i did mulitple screenshots all on noncrits and all turn yellow
Just do it again then
Uh huh
Though I do think Plasma can one shot Ragers
It can 1 shot ONE of the two ragers
It can
So idk
But not both
Flak rager could, with crit or with flak I think?
Not without exec or ability boost
With flak it gets pretty close?
crit vs noncrit
Plasma or the Hellbore alot of things can oneshot ragers.
Ok ur computer is just bad
again
I’m fuckin dead
Helbore 1 with flak + elite can 1 HS non-crit scab rager
Ye that doesnt happen to anyone else
written apology lmao
This is the funniest shit
Nope
Anybody?
I aint writing nothing, your puter is broke
No one is apologizing for ur computer being shit lol

i have no idea why it does that lmao
why is the heat two different shade of yellow though 
maybe from a mod or something
am i crazy
Damn
Ever considered updating Nvidia graphics drivers or smth
Never seen that in my life
That’s how plasma works
it gets darker with more heat
Yah
Yeah it gets red
how have I not noticed this before 
I am hot

or so ive been told
It goes white to yellow to Orange to red
someone else screen shot a non crit headshot and see what it doese
idk why mine turns yellow
Its white
Literally everyone else’s would be white
Maybe a weird color setting somewhere?
Never seen that before
You see how some of these are yellow and some are white
You can get crit quite high with a plasma, so if it is a crit isn't so relevant
Gets hot vibes
omg im aware what color they should be. mine doesnt show the correct color when i screen shot only in real game
schizo computer
Plasma ammo usage should increase with heat level 
Check if ur graphics driver is up to date, and maybe color settings
not that important i gfuess it only makes my honesty called into question lmao
well I remember plasma one tapping ragers regardless
Man I swear some of yall never heard of transcoding before and it shows
Non-crit or weakspot hit.
it can dpeends on your distance and talents as well
Requires + maniac and + elite
i absolutely had not so thank you
it's white for you?
No problem dude
I think Long Shot can get it there no?
let me go home and test
Only on carapace
It also reduces file size by like half or more depending on the res you record at so I just run everything through it before I go to bed even I've had a long session
Unyielding too
Yeah the 2825 is a white hit.
I cant rmb maniac
i vaguely remember you can tap both
Then delete the originals
It doesn’t falloff on maniac and flak
wait but it should be orange right?
Ill check. This might be true
im just confused 
i gotta go to work sorry to confuse everyone
@serene sage I meaning it's a normal hit, not a weakspot or a crit. You can oneshote ragers without any damage buffs on the gun.
I could get all techy but it's better to record at higher resolution and handbrake down to a manageable size rather than recording at a lower res than native
Looks its all funky
Because I've never seen this
What?
Oh you mean it's not pretty and crazy advanced ui?
They have ones for that but it's better to just learn handbrake lol
implying there's a ciscoded option 
Oooo
I play vanilla
Mb
That video has been passed around a lot too
Fingers still hurt
yeah but have you heard of transcoding though
I forgor
Probably shouldn't play psyker
I only know cis coding but I am getting knowledge
🥹
Time to get a grip trainer
Not yet
I only know queercoding
Soon
what did you do
Practiced ramlethal combos then went to play psyker
LMB psyker gaming
I should playing fighting games regularly again
Is a burnout to play game regular for 20 mission
At least I'm good at both of those things now
That's an addiction
But OW
I really gotta get out of this dorktide slump
Dorktide
Man Palworld is fun
Slaughterer 4 has been fucking cruel to me
I got a literally perfect deimos yesterday
Righteous slaughter 7
Then hadron gave it +2 stam and weakspot and a shit blessing but it did get deflector 4
So I did this to it in silent protest
Lmao
I trashes so items till I got the 1 literal perfect which was one of those deimos.
I had no clue that deimos was this savage tho
@jovial aurora
Tbh not having damage annoints on it isn't the end of the world
Fucker is a menace all on its own
So you combine with wildfire?
Wildfire rarely goes off as it oneshots alot of stuff. It does work when it doesn't one-shot yes like on bosses muties or orgyns. You literally don't want breakpoints for 1 shot's if you are going for wildfire.
Yeah the sword one taps almost everything short of mauler without damage perks lmfao
And I didn't know this but it fucking eviscerates
Wildfire helps make up on maulers etc, just never do the charge (warp charge) attack it's a dps loss and wildfire proc loss, and it puts you in a stupid get wtfpwned unable to act mode
An evisceration
The actual weapon does this too
The evis has a reason for it, but it's a sole blessing, IF you rev it and stun a crusher they will die from a one-shot when built right, but it will be from the bleed.
(the older evis Idk anything on the new one)
New one attack pattern is cc
Have you tried the eviscerating poke on demos?
special h1 and special h2 do the same damage
the old one has a cc pattern too, I forgot how to start it but it goes light Heavy and it is two wide arc hits.
Old one is mixed
like two baseball bat swings
I don't understand how people like the eviscerator
It's so slow lol
Almost have to get a speedy gun to run with
The bleed oneshot mechanic is fun
I like hsword and crits lol
Oh so you could probably get away with Rev it up and bloodletting
I don't think any other weapon has Rev it up.
Axes and swords have it
all the chain weapons have rev it up
It's really bad unless you are just running speed run match.
Idk if it don't feel good it's not fun to me
I genuinely have more success this week with bayonet than my other meta build in maelstrom 
Evis is slow as shit
It feel good to dodge alot of spawns as you outrun alot of the mobs. You can clear way faster but pugs don't speed run.
Or just feels like it idk
But killing it's like bleh in mud.
The other one is fine, not great not bad. FUn to grind into crushers like a boss.
Either way thoroughly impressed by the power of the deimos
What are all the witches doing in the vet channel
I play everthing pretty much equally
what is a "salvo" in blessing terms on a weapon
Burst
Same
Except ogryn
Haven't found a niche for him that I thoroughly enjoy yet
Orgyns get stupid toughness and health def. You can literally walk through stuff with one build. Although killing is a different manner (you do cc alot by knocking them down)
Just got kickback and mkv shovel and that's pretty much what mine does lol
Kickback or rumbler, and Knife or Club is mine.
Although I find myself wishing other ogryns were running something similar when they are running a oddball build
An indeterminate period of firing between resets of your recoil. If you magdump, that is one salvo. If you shoot 3 shots and stop, that's also a salvo.
Salvo is weird on semis tho cuz you can tap it pretty back to back without ruining Salvo
It's hard not to justify running the charge ability lol man that ability can straight turn the tide of a game
Been looking through Scion's codex. Is this the one those Scab gunner use?
@jovial aurora Every orgyn build I use has the charge I can't stand to be without it.
One of the two shotgunners use the same gun as we do, but it has a drum mag. It could be either the medium or light variant, Color-wise it sure as hell isn't brown to be the heavy (They may of changed it since I last paid close attention)
Similar
why does the damage stat make very little diff for rashad
Hey
hmm how's this?
i heard FF wasn't very good or something
oh wait bruh
these are the only blessings for braced?
so no sutained fire that i'd prob want on agri IAG or dumdum
💀
thought braced gets sustained fire / dumdum too
sus fire 💀
for sus fire can't you just stop firing for a sec and then a new salvo would start?
might be misunderstanding salvos
haven't tested it myself
Yes, but you typically want to keep firing them in the ranges they excel at. While you can burst fire the agri fairly effectively for shooters, it doesn't exactly need help there.
yeah fair
This is the issue of salvo blessings on full auto oriented guns (recons have salvo blessings too)
resetting the salvo is a dps loss
ok, fixed the gun
i feel much better about it now
It's mediocre but you don't have many choices on brauto
Can run stripped down if you want tho
yea just realized it has a grand total of like 6 possible blessings
no wonder hadron didn't brick it immediately
Ff is fine, the damage is not actually limited by range currently
Checked it myself
you dont have another damage option
and its not bad
how good is this
They should revert close range to 15m
I remember when dumdum was described as close range
I found out it was infinite and started telling everyone
Meh, the caxes are very stat dependent for bruiser breakpoints which is why it’s a pain to make a good one
You have some wiggle room depending on how much damage you take in the tree
But 69 damage is not a good start
It's close range dmg but it stacks at all ranges
what was even the reason for the change
Based on the wording
finally done
It’s bugged and uses the code for anoint in blood
It works up to 25m
With declining effectiveness the further you go
That might explain why I didn't notice a difference with it testing at long ranges then
Should be kept like that, close range damage is stupid as a concept
just buff close damage back to 15m
it might even make speedload not garbage
that also uses close damage kills no
Does speedload still not work with melee kill anymore
That was actually good
Idk why they changed it
I dont know why fs does anything they do
it went from being an actual option to garbage tier
Because we can't have shit in Atoma
Speedload sainted gunslinger revolver on zealot was actually cool
Before the change I used surgical and speedload on revolver
can you speak Vet? im not familiar with the zealot dialect
May we one day have TWBS and dance of death be the talents preceding sainted gunslinger
we did
and then we didn't 
All the reload talents combined with speedload makes you put bullets back into gun veri fast
thank you 
is reload that big on revolver? my impression is that you quip it out to kill specials and that's about it for zealot?
so you can reload in downtime
it dooooes, except guess who shoots guns at 7 meters? no one
or well, I'm sure someone does
I mean, yeah but also what if you need to shoot 6 times
Most people still ran surgical
But I liked it for the comfy
Sometimes there's more specials than boolet
And you reload fast enough that a single push gave you enough space when the two stacked to get a full clip back
Shoot at 1 meter like a Boomer shooter
I'm trying really hard to understand why people think bolter is a bad gun
I mean it's pretty bad after they made it not work on melee kills
But before it made more sense
Is awkward in handling
But the problem is mostly overtuned plasma and revolver making bolter "inferior"
I played bolter/combat axe for my entire session today and basically went around one/two shotting elites entire day and absolutely decimating bosses
I dont even use exec stance
Its so fun
Recommendations on what I should change on this?
Sustained fire and I guess specialists
yeah it can suffer from suppression but there is a talent for that
the little bit of shake doesnt feel bad
given it can two shot bodyshot gunners
Yeah I got that one in exchsnge of not having 8 stacks of tag
or even one shot
The shake is weird
its a big bulky thing that can bodyshot murk gunners
Sometimes it feels like the gun just went its own way
My problem is that is not consistent
its a little rng sometimes
Slmetimes it feels like it bugs out
yea it could be more consistent
sustained to onslaught, specialists to maniac
Fair
its annoying sure but hardly a real problem
a speedrun I did 5 years ago was asked about
I wanna cry 😭
which should i go for? One has better stats and the one with worse stats can get headtaker iv or unarmored enemies to 25%
I'd take the second one
I say is a problem
At least to me it throws me off
But not breaking
Just very annoying
Boltgun is so bad why would you ever use it
Right, swap thunderous for BM and infested for whatever is good with rashad
bruh
It kinda demands you play at a slower pace
line up shots
It works good for surgical
I still play deadshot surgical
kinda based
best part is its a ''support'' build
fat dmr
you trade vraks stability for
very fat bodyshot damage
boss dmg
and well, suppression I guess
for whatever its worth
vraks also has higher mag count
Which I love
15 vs 22 something with vraks 7 yeah
yeah
17 would be sweet
yeah a little love wouldn't hurt
bolter with can opener
yuri you just can't slap a bayo on every gun and call it mission accomplished
I will literally find you and take away your keyboards
Everyone gets a bayonet
Bayonett with a bayonett
With 2k plasteel at my disposal I'll surely acquire a headhunter for my vraks
clueless
Hi where do I sign up for my bayonet with additional bayonet I would like one bayonet royale
Twin linked bayonets
As the Militarum intended
Power bayonet
We have chain bayonets so I wouldn't be surprised if they tried that
I swear to god
they got hellgun, longlas
dregs got to use a belt fed lmg
They stole them
I would like a belt fed. On the left tree art for veteran theres someone wielding one so i feel like we might get one
loose cannon has lines about calling dibs on decent guns around
doesn't even touch the longlas just sitting there in the carnival
Have we actually ever seen any of the food they eat?
not ideal right
defintiely not
I remember the professional vet saying to look out for grub
blessings are not ideal to start
Welp last one
you want brutal momentum on combat axe its a must have
60% finesse…
Are you trying to look for headhunter in general, or specifically t4 headhunter
Ah, unlucky
Unfortunately, hadron doesn't like my vet
Back to damnation farming you go
Darn
Why is everyone playing veterans, suddenly? It's been three days since I've been randomly grouped with anything but veterans (with the occasional zealot)
We are built different
ok then
Cool space gun man
Guldurn BOOM
As far as statistics are concerned, people who haven't tried Vet since the rework are probably (finally) getting around to it since we're still in-between updates
I’m new to the game and it’s the only class I’ve tried so far
What lvl r u?
11 or 12 I think. Haven’t played in a few days
Best advice for new vets is make sure you take demolition stockpile. It's the most powerful talent in the game.
Sounds useful, I often even forget to use grenades lol
Yes! Your grenades are key to higher lvl play. Getting one every sixty seconds is $$$
Voice of command is also a very intuitive ability that will allow you to make many more mistakes w/o being too punished while you learn. And makes you very useful to the team w/o any effort.
Shredders are great for clearing hordes and crowd control. Kraks stick to armored carapace and unyeilding. Both are very powerful. USe them as often a you can.
How do y'all like running the knife? I was thinking that getting bleed from talents should let you take Mercy Killer AND Uncanny strike. In my testing, it's killing crushers and maulers in 3 hits, or two if I get a crit. Seems like pretty insane damage to me.
I like using mercy killer and lacerate on mine.
That's what I used to run, but if you take serrated blade, you will get the bleed from ANY hit
Wondering if I'm onto something with this
Lacerate is great for consistent horde dps, uncanny is also nutty, keeping the uncanny buff up while applying lacerate sucks.
I also like pairing it with the camo mod for the focus keystone. Those heavy attacks get me moving quick so I can keep my focus charges.
If you take the crit nodes on the bottom right (on dodge and flat) I'd say go flesh tearer and uncanny.
Well
That's what I did. Gonna play one with it soon, but I think this is pretty nasty for a setup. 60% weakspot damage after ANY one hit combined with rending from uncanny is MURDERING any elite I try it on
Silent poxburster strikes again
Went infiltrate, kraks, and Focus
Flesh tearer and repost also works, but obviously dodge conditional, so you need to keep that up.
Riposte is great to pair with back stabbing.
Well to be fair its one of the easiest ults to use
Certainly why it's probably one of the strongest ults for vet
Yup, great for any new player finding their feet.
Yep
Whilst I do believe exe stance can help with a player's positioning but it doesn't come close as the ease of use of VOC
This is the build I'm thinking of using
VoC is clutch for those emergency reloads as well
I'd always have iron will period.
Stronks.
I could drop close order killzone for it, but I've found I dont usually need it with infiltrate
You can also use it to push enemies into range of explosions
Thanks for the advice my fellow warhammer enjoyers
So looks like your aim with this build is to mostly be shooting non armored threats, tap big stuff with knife for bleed and then spam heavies/push attacks and abuse mercy killer and uncanny. My big question is does mercy killer proc from the first hit due to serrated blade or does it take two?
it takes two
but you can hit anywhere
and it applies the bleed
also, good summery, that is exactly what i'm thinking to do
Yup. My thought is bleed stacks tick off so fast applying one and getting the damage bonus from mercy killer likely only occurs on larger elites you're spamming on. If you're knifing a bunch of horde as well, it might be better overall to drop mercy for flesh tearer.
And obv iron will, the rest is looking good imo.
That's a good point
I'll have to test it out and see if hordes are an issue
If they are, i'll try the mk4 since its heavys kill hordes fast
I doubt they're an issue, you could keep mercy w/o a problem, but just general clear speed might be higher.
All my homies hate iron will
Also consider suppression of graoners and pox walkers. they will stop in place and cower if not ranged.
If I play a normal damnation maelstrom I-E-F and an auric damnation maelstrom I-E-F, is there a difference?
Suppressing hordes is anti-halal
The new heavy laspistol seems pretty nice. Hows it hold up in 5/Auric?
Good if you're accurate enough.
normal maelstrom is normal intensity and auric maelstrom is high intensity
and i suppose the +tension modifier that auric has also applies to the maelstrom (basically shorter interval between spawns)
precog is better than mercy killer
but if you must take mercy killer, yes, get serrated from talents
uncanny strike is non-negotiable
Precog lasting 2 seconds is a big oofie tho
Funny damage, but sometimes having a more consistent lower damage is nicer
They're playing a bit more ranged focused so likely not consistantly in the front, and if stuff gets locked down or otherwise CCed you aren't dodging.
When the game decides it didn't count
that is when you're using a gun
if you're up close with knife
you simply have to dodge
on knife
that's just how the weapon works
you dont exactly cleave through hordes
If the game wishes to grace you with a dodge proc, yes
this is the first time ive heard of dodge procs getting ghosted so 🤷
It honestly just doesn't have great uptime at 2 sec on a ranged focused build imo
just started playing vet what is combat blade good for lol
every single knife build is a ranged focus build
mobility. i'd prob learn other weapons first
unless you're one of those ppl who think knives are good at horde clear
you take knife for mobility
That's not quite true.
i see i see
It’s a fun weapon
Kills elites decently well (not the best), also makes u go very fast
so your gun has to pick up the slack
yeah it was fun to go fast
They're competent at it
i liked the knife flipping when i sprinted too
competent at what
elite killing? yes
horde clearing
no
they really are not
It requires some specific things and dealing with weird headshot hitboxes on lights
idk how people cope into think they're ok at it unless they've never played another melee
it doesnt matter even if u hit headshots because knives have fuck-all for cleave
yes you can oneshot a single pox at a time
It's not coping if I have been testing it
The special action is so good on it nw. It makes haymaker sort of decent.
idk how ppl can say the literal worst melee in the game at horde clearing is "ok" at horde clearing but idk lul
like its that way by design
Oh no, I can only one-shot one enemy at a time using the fastest melee in the game on a class that can get 25% attack speed for free
why do you think new knife even exists
thanks
yes and any other weapon actually decent at horde with 25% attackspeed can cleave through multiple enemies at once
idk why you even bring those talents up
every weapon can use them
again
thats why they even made new knife
Because I'm saying you're wrong
its supposed to be a more well-rounded knife
instead of a purely elite+mobility tool
u can go into the search bar rn
I understand people have misconceptions about knife, but the confidence you are talking with doesn't match the truth of the statement
and search "knife horde"
and u can see how many ppl agree with you
but w/e do what you like
I don't need people to agree with me, only for what I'm saying to be right
If you want to measure truth by popularity, I guess water pressure does increase when you squeeze the hose and every physicist is a moron
lol
i already appealed to logic
knife has no cleave
its naturally just going to be bad at horde
that is just a fact
Your logic is shit and so is your attitude, if I am to be honest about it
i think bleed blessings and fast attack speed are more than enough to make up for the knife's shortcomings in hordes
bleed knife makes knife ok-ish at horde by knife standards, kinda, but it really hurts the elite killing ability
could just go uncanny strike and flesh tearer, that would do fine
since you sac either uncanny or precog/mercy killer
yeah but now we're talking like a 4/5shot on crushers vs 2 if you ran precog
personally I'd just take another weapon at that point
maybe 5 exaggerating but even with mercy killer ppl get 3shot on crusher
so you're definitely going to 4 at least
I see plenty of bleed knife vets with onslaught autoguns downing the armor or handgun/plasma, they've got the knife out 90% of the time and just shoot specials and some elites.
mind you i'm a knife purist but only on zealot, for vets i stan the rashad and the shovel
And they do just fine.
you can do fine with grey guns
ofc you can do alright with bleed knife
but there's a reason people meme on it for the most part
Fine as in soloing auric mal with plenty of videos up on youtube of it
Some people just want to play the game on easy mode. That's alright. But any weapon can be fit to do just about any task.
Are other things better at it? Perhaps, that doesn't mean the first one is unusable.
link?
then ultimately there's no argument to be had, like, ever, since all that really matters is how the weapon feels to the player
"be urself lol"
Truth.
no, im saying the argument that "i can use it and clear" isn't really a defense of the weapon
you can use literally anything in this game and clear
I still need to get off my ass and farm a knife roll with crit damage and weakspot to see if it offsets the lack of an infested perk
if everything is viable, arguing over minutiae makes you look mentally unsound
I think it's the best gun. 🙂
if ur saying that discussing what is optimal on our weapons is mentally unsound
then
im not sure what to say
Okay
viable to a degree lol. i dont expect most people to be able to lug around a recon on auric mael for the luls
I mean I'm jumping in quick to say
no 
Your subjective opinion means less than the numbers
^
🥹
like subjectively enjoy whatever u want
but if you want to talk about what is good
Yes all weapons are useable
my numbers are subjective 
then you cant just go backpedal and go "but everything can be used!"
Not to me, it doesn't.
idk why people get emotionally attached to their weapon loadouts lol
if someone tells me v7 is bad compared to revolver idc
i still use it
"just as good" mentality
I mean, when the word "competent" already causes someone to start going on an "akchywally" spree, it's annoying
Its why we even have these optimal/suboptimal/OP/UP discussions in the first place so we can like judge based on the numbers and create opinions on whether or not something should be buffed or nerfed or something
"idk why people get emotionally attached to their weapon loadouts lol"
i think competent is just a strange word to use for the weapon in the game that is the worst at horde clear by design lol
I'm here trying to do something interesting with knife and dedicating my time to it, and what I get is "stop, ur coping lol"
even the toher guy who talked about knife vets in solo auric paired with brauto supposedly
I just think it's useless just using only subjective opinions without also viewing the objective lense that some of these choices aren't gonna perform well
you can do it
me saying
its not good at horde clear
doesnt mean
"stop playing the game wrong u chud" or something
i did bayonet only run for fun
I think you don't need to be an asshole about it
not shooting on purpose lol
It's not that hard
ok
I mean, is saying "it isn't good on horde clear" being an asshole
this is genuinely
🥹
imo you shouldnt be dumping ammo into hordes ever
i didnt say ur bad for using it
That's your opinion
That's fine
Saying it's hurr durr cope is being an asshole
don't know what that word is. sound like "fact."
The defensive attitude justifying being an asshole is being an asshole
I don't know where you're going with this
Turns out acting like an asshole is a requirement for being an asshole
And there are some people who can take issue with being belittled out of nowhere
Okay so basically scrolling up a tiny bit sure there were words thrown around, like you being okay with the knifes horde clear is fine, but knives certainly aren't geared towards horde clearing
The whole "cope" seemingly was directed at the whole and maybe not you
where am i saying ur bad or something
Jesus fucking Christ, you're dense
Its the cope in the sense that you said that people were coping by saying the knife has good horde clear, which, I wouldn't word it that way but yeah I guess it did hurt manurits feelings
well mb then
I wouldn't say knife has good horde clear, moreso that it works well enough to make it useable if necessary
its quite good at stalling a horde at least, kinda like thammer
whats finesse
you can pretty much hold them in place forever
critical/weakspot dmg, attackspeed on some weapons
check the inspect menu and hover over finesse
it should tell you exactly what
I've seen bad horde clear in the form of the old dueling sword, which didn't have the damage to reliably kill poxwalkers but also didn't have the cleave, so the result was absolute suffering
You were slamming your head against a concrete wall playing that travesty
Yeah like it probably wouldn't be my first choice for that, but its not like it won't work at all
^ exactly, knives are meant for single target to begin with
if u dont know what im talking about
Yuri was just saying exactly that
the new knife didn't scratch the horde-clear itch i wanted
It's just the way it's delivered. You came into a convo regarding a gun focused build with an elite clear knife in it, for which a suggestion was made to help it's horde clear as the gun isn't great at that w/o being an ammo hog. You've much too focused on the "knife isn't a horde clear weapon."
Its cool feeling though
no, i came into the discussion to say that precog is generally a better pick of a blessing
it diverted into whether knife can horde clear effectively as a tangent
I'm mostly just saying that knife isn't a horde clear weapon, the rest of the convo isnt really there for me
not that mercy killer is a bad blessing
probably the 2nd best after precog imo though

charge rate just refer to charged attack right? So is this fine?
The new knife heavies would benefit from better headshot priority, as would the lights on both I think
you can try
There was discussion of how the charge rate might affect the left click
Wouldn't be bad to test it
Aiming at the forehead or having specific angles you can attack from without the arm or shoulder getting in the way really kills some of the appeal
my zealot is bleed knife while my veteran is haymaker knife C:
Imagine Darktide but if your crosshair was anywhere on the head it meant you'd headshot the enemy
One can dream
I almost never fire the overcharge, it creates way too much heat and uses too much ammo, the regular fire shoots fast enough and can stagger. I think overcharge is uesful if you happen upon a shotgunner pack and they're in about a straight line
i feel like scabs have bigger "heads" than dregs C:
It's unfortunate they missed some weapons when they did the headshot priority patch
Now I gotta wait two years for them to finish the rest
Funny too
next enemy type has weak point on the back of their hands kappa C:
It made rashad go from bottom of the barrel to the quintessential melee weapon
All because it got its headshot priority fixed
Granted it was a specially broken case
Charge rate is LMB and RMB
you'd still do more damage just
left click spamming the shotgunner pack
Cleave moment
what are the meta blessings for kantrael shotty again?
flechette?
and scattershot?
before I dump into it is there a recon las gun to avoid?
all of them 
Damn
The green one was the most abysmal DPS that I remember
I think it was the same damage per shot as the fastest and lower fire rate, but I could be mixing it with brautos
Same damage, better range falloff. Substantially worse DPS overall though, especially if playing vet with stacking brittleness
should i keep savage sweep or change it to somethign else? i have wrath...
savage sweep is 👍
I'd put shred to squeeze some funny damage out of it
6d is the best oif the family
though they're all pretty bad
I run mine with shred and reciprocity
avoid 2 like the plague the most
Disgusting
7a is okay, but definitely the worst to stack onslaught
I wish it scaled with fire rate or something
i dont think onslaught needs to be any better tbh
The fast shit has a big advantage
unless you mean nerf it for fast fire rate
Well, I dunno
I was thinking something like normalizing the time it takes to max it based on fire rate
Different types of weapons have different talent interactions, i think thats a good thing. shouldnt worry about scaling each talent per weapon type, thatd get weird
its an honestly borderline busted talent
Say, a gun with 10 RPS gets 16 max stacks, but a gun with 5 gets 8 or something
so i think making it usable for slow firing guns too is going in thse wrong direction for it
its already probably too good for fast ones
i have another one with shred and blood letter lv3, as my other chainsword, i'll see if i can put reciprocity on there
And in theory it gets guns to apply the same brittleness in the same time
Though admittedly that talent being so good for automatic guns is a problem
One could argue crits should be taking that role
right now, deadshot fills the roll for anti-armor for slower firing weapons
deadshot surgical basically
that or the weapon just punches holes in armor to beginw ith )lmao plasma)
Bad take imo, the talent is better for fast guns just like deadshot is better for slow guns. Not all talents should work with all weapons/builds
Otherwise we should scale down stam drain on high rof guns for deadshot, right?
That's a bit weird
We know high rate of fire guns work on crit strings, for example
yet devs went out of their way to nerf shock trooper crit strings for recon, curious
My problem with deadshot being onslaught for slow guns is that it... kind of isn't. It's a 25% crit talent being compared with 40% rending and the crit will be subject to the crit jank of the weapon
well that's what im saying
onslaught is probably already too good
deadshot is already a very good talent
onslaught is just "lol what is armor" for any fast weapon
you do shred and rampage?
onslaught is not just armor pen its brittle lol
Rending is rending independent of weapon, but deadshot cannot be onslaught for slow weapons because they work differently
if onslaught was rending it would be overpowered
Oh yeah, true
its already pretty strong as brittle too
if it was rending that would be ridiculous ya
that part isnt important, it would be stronger as rending bc you can carry it over to the next target if it was rending
you need to stack it inedependently on each target at the moment bc its brittleness
which is fine mind you, like i said, its probably already too strong of a talent tbh
True, there is that downside
Im not saying they are ying yang talents or anything, I'm saying that different talents complement different weapons and builds.
Or upside depending on the situation
Not every talent needs to be viable and good with every weapon
chat, I am officially a nerd
anyway, i wasnt saying deadshot/surg combo on slow guns is literally rending
but the crit lets you punch through armor if that is wha tyou want
that's largely hte point of it for most of the guns who pick up dead+surg tbh
since they usually can oneshot light targets already
I just dont understand how deadshot is comparable to onslaught
are you just now a nerd? did you just build and paint your first minis?
they're kinda uh
took you that long?
different things
its not comparable in the sense that they do the same thing
😔
Wouldn't it be good, though?
the context was
good job on the paint
they said onslaught should also be adjusted for fire rate
it looks like it was done by an experienced player
so it stacks to max quickly for slow guns too
and i was saying slow guns deal with armored enemies with crits through deadshot/surg
im just built different 
deadshot tax is a little bs on a lot of weapons so adjusting it is understandable
so there's no need for that
not really i spent the whole fucking day on those 3
i am currently building my killteam kriegers and will just make them all troopers to practice on
they will give their life
onslaught doesnt need you to build your curios or other talents around it
for the Emperor
its different
I want to pivot into Grey Knights maybe
well
i bet they will suffer
