Well
Uh
3266 damage on a bulwark parry bodyshot
I need to figure out how to get it to hit the head
Scion helmet is absolutely dope.
I run it with the green uniform and storm ranger Autogun. Perfect colour matches.
Time to farm the last 10 repair missions for that penance.
Then only Investiagtes left for that one dangly.
so how come ogryn the class with the least complexity in the game has a condensed community made info dump yet we have the opposite of that
?
Early release Darktide was… very different.
We vets were deleting entire maps with out abilities.
99% of people in here have no idea what they are talking about
Doesn't that answer your question
Least complex is easy to make an infodump for
well if you think people here have no idea what they are talking about then maybe no one is ever qualified to make anything
better go ask Reddit I guess

well, if it's easier to make a guide for a class then i assume that there are probablistically more people who'd want to make a guide
less complex typically means easier to explain
imagine making a guide for the classes with more weapons
but also ngl I think most vets and zealots who are really on the up and up with how shit works just can't be fucking arsed writing a guide
and the ones who can be tend to end up in ADHD procrastination hell instead of actually writing a guide (this is me)
What blessings is recommended for the plasma gun ?
And a good player.
Gotta stay up long enough for the res
Blaze Away 3 and Gets Hot 4 for maximum damage potential, but having 2 good perks is probably more important for consistency
so not the end of the world if you have to keep Gloryhunter or something as a blessing
speaking of the plasma gun i got this but which perk should i change
i'd keep reload for reliability, since that tiny extra crit damage is only gonna contribute to bosses
unless you're into that
the difference both of these perks make are really small
I personally chose 25% dmg vs Unyielding and 25% Dmg vs Carapace Armored cause they are the only enemies that take more than one shot to kill
I do love how the Sticky Grenades just chew through giant chunks of the Monstrocities Health too
this was cap, 2000 something damage instead on a bulwark parry headshot
is there smthing that doesnt count as hit?... i had nearly perfect aim and yet didnt get achiev for having used all ammo with 90%+ accuracy, was using cantrael shotgun...
did you shoot bulwark shields
maybe, mostly with special mode
but they never been alone, so it always hit smthing else too
i will need the mod for statistics probably... to see it for real
that's all i can think of unfortunately
will give it 1 more try and then install mod, ty for tip, will try to jsut krak them
what's the current infantry autogun meta
columnus mk V with dumdum and and raking fire?
I assume this is a melee hellbore build ?
Flak/maniac dumdum
The last blessing is whatever you want it to be
Fire frenzy for more damage
and columnus mk v is the preferable model?
which blessing should I pick in this scenario then?
stripped down is funny for sprinting towards shooters, if you always run a stamina curio
up to you which to swap
I found that with the sprint efficiency node at the top and stripped down 3 you are edging the 60%
I wonder if that and the +1 stamina below confirmed kill don't do the trick
stripped down with duck and dive should be fun
can it be saved fellas?
I mean
No
None of the blessings are exactly optimal
Same with perks
I guess you could swap shred for rampage and carapace for flak
beans
Problem is you need to hit your shred crit to trigger rampage
is there a good darktide youtuber that posts talent builds?
the can opener 
Rev to rampage, infested to maniac and it's pretty much what I use
also what do you folks look for on a zarona mk IIa revolver
i do feel pretty spicy
honestly though gloryhunter has surprisingly come in handy a few times
because i've been running melee vet, and being able to tank a slap mid horde because you pulled the revolver to pick off a sniper feels nice
Gloryhunter is very useful for weapons that aren't too nice with toughness, like knife
or for me who will fly into a berzerker rage upon seeing a monstrosity
you don't understand i need my uptime
Or if for some reason or another you didn't put out for blood on your build
[nervously checks build]
I really can't decide between the Columnus and Agri IAG.
col all day for me
Believe I the agri can one-shot shooters at good ranges on vet
columnus with the onslaught talent is monke brain 101
I still don't think onslaught is needed on ciag
Why waste the ammo when you can just pull out your Powersword and 2 tap the crusher ?
If you are gonna be a metaslave you might as well go all the way
I tend to stick to the middle of the herd and just shout at people to restore toughness, so being able to spray things with the col is nice when it gets gnarly. I guess I'll go roll a col. I like that that rhymes.
ogryn have way fewer guns and talent interactions to worry about. I would wager the size of such a project would be 5-10 times bigger with vet
Good luck timing that during most of the situations the game throws crushers tbh
answered your own question
How the hell do youarrive at 5 to 10 times ?
I always feel like the thammer zealot, plasma vet or BB psyker drops the shit I would krak grenade before they have a chance to detonate.
Just don't have any of those in your group
Ez
I love veteran chat.
Simple solutions
Yeah we got that good advice
vote kick anyone who can do my job
thats some hobbesian shit right there
To the krak's credit, its small AoE comes in handy at times
I do like it, I just wish I got a chance to blow up crushers more with it
krak is good, but I love me some shredder spam
watching 30 poxwalkers start to bleed is pleasing to the blood god
although I like that I dont have to take tinkerer with krak, frees up some points
Kraks do surprisingly well into mixed hordes
we have atleast 3 times as many weapon options and roughly 1.5 more talents, with a lot of talent weapon interactions that should be mentioned. Vet also just has way more playstyle options based on weapon choice than ogryn. Ogryn is always somewhat locked into trash clearing.
while vet can do a bit of everything.
looking at the ogryn document i would guess 5 times is propably the more accurate estimate
It’s insane how common it is to make a single misstep and get disabled then for that .1 second the teammates take to look/acknowledge you’ve been disabled, it’s caused irreparable damage to their focus and their entire mental state is untied
slips on banana peel
what blessings/perks are good on the vraks mk7 headhunter?
Allegedly surgical and deadly accurate
And flak/unarmored
For gunner onetaps
Even for burst fire HH I still don't use no respite
shame it just wont apply on the first bullet
I mean that one just wants HH/DA
That would just be a straight up power increase
I run surgical because zealot knives pick up the Crit
Yeah, they pair really well with HH rifles because the HH has rather bad maniac damage, but knives oneshot all of them except muties
just me or are alot of the las weapons kinda...
why is the original las pistol the best of em
I've actually wiped in like a single game today from someone accidentally whiffing at a barrel and instantly killing three (plus me)
original las pistol fires fast and I think actually has damage bonus against flak
Oh you mean the best of all las weapons
idk mobility maybe
I've been having a strange amount of fun with this loadout in Damnation
Even tried the maelstrom damnation mission occasionally in the normal mission selector
Onslaught absolutely fucking carries the recon lasgun though
i'm curious, bolter bps?

funny
when I see that frame on a difficulty above malice I just assume the mission will be a failure
I don't even mind
Two ogryns with the sedition frame
perfectly fine
i use the level 1 metal frame
i trust them because i know they're wearing it on purpose
Any veterans here with mics that might help me to hit a breakpoint with shovel 3? I need people that are calculating damage in this game
i hate how clunky most frames look
i use the basic green military frame
and they hide your face
same
i WOULD use the green frame but it doesnt suit krieg
but I use the three purity seals badge thingy
so i only use it on my cadian char
so people know I'm not that new
any vraks7 enjoyers here?
yes
its funny seing a lvl 50< with this frame
it is the only headhunter i use regularly
i think they messed up by making the frames get thicker inwards
instead of outwards
if you know what i mean
i like seeing my head thank you
always scary to witness
noooo
at some point the director felt we needed a wave of Mutants, Dogs, and a plague ogryn ON the tight staircases. 
as much as i love shooting and activating my rambo neron brain. Stealth vet is incredibly fun
It even serves as a filter
Some people will leave if you have stealth on

wich makes no sense to me.
i mena
LOOK AT MA RESCUE STAT >:d
why would you not want a lil sneeky boi coming in to revive you :p
i use aquila bought gear and the lvl1 frame, noone knows if im good or not until we get to it
although i am 30 so
john darktide is actually a primarch in disguise
the cosmetics you have on mean very little as far as skill is concerned tbh
orly
I suspect it's the whole "sneghs if you were more useful we wouldn't be down sniffs snot back into nose" thing
aah maybe
but if i dont care a lil bit
i wont be able to revei
because often the team sure as shit can revive me often
Meanwhile I'm sitting here like "man it would have taken an act of fucking god to be able to pop off enough plasma shots to cover your ass I wouldn't have changed shit"
Anyone here that might help me to hit a breakpoint with shovel 3 on a mauler with this setup? I dont wanna change the talent tree at all so tell me if this can work for one shotting maulers in the head without limbsplitter? Also, can I hit the breakpoint if I change cara to 25% or thrust to 4? I dont wanna do both
here is the dmg number without limbsplitter
No survivalist, bleh
Only use this when theres other survivalist vet, dont bully
yes but Im not changing the talent tree
oh
idunno if you're not changing
does it have uncanny strike like the normal shovel or nah
ehh that wouldn't do enough even on the two parter hit I think
I'm not a number person but you might be SoL without limbsplitter here
Hellbore best gun wdym
Shotgun still ain’t that hot
Shotguns can do some serious work
Pretty much all the infantry lasguns are very good too.
Got some great buffs last patch but the fact it still can’t body shot a shotgunner at close range is shameful
yeah recon lasguns are kind of piddly pathetic
It ought to be just as powerful as the revolver at close range with a steep drop off making it less efficient beyond 15m
but I got it to be okay viable in damnation and that's fine with me
It should do enough stagger to knock mutants out of a charge on a close range headshot.
kek just wait untill they release the shotgun las.... itll be funny to see that happen
thnx hadron for not bein a heretic this time
What is considered the best recon las gun?
6d no?
or it was before the free bullet on crit got nerfed
should have the highest DPS at the cost of worst ammo efficiency
this is mine

this is gold
whenever I equip r*con I ask myself the same question tbh
does teammate ammo regen counts towards no ammo penance? 4th try and still nothing... do shotgun pellets have to land all? i thought jsut 1 is enough
If it works is it really stupid

its the most build neutral and adaptable
this reminds me of a convo I had with someone regarding brautos vs iags
guy pulled a scoreboard with like
25+ something ammo pickups
Yeah sounds like me

I try not to grief though so I let others have the ammo unless they're all mostly full
Otherwise, suppression from recon is no joke when you encounter an oops all gunners room
it actually annoys me on recon
Suppression do silence the shooters
because it needs headshot to kill fast
it does in a narrow cone
what you need to know is
it wont supress the entire room
Yeah
I just wave my gun in a horizontal line and most of them go silent though
That's enough for a counter push in
Exactly
I used the suppression dealt node and talent in the middle tree
Me with the brauto
I know
tho tbh it is much much better at suppressing than other guns too so there is that
just by design
having fat ass magazine
god please dont suppress reapers dfgkhsdf
they do that stupid animation
where they cover their head
and I have to shoot them 3x more ssdfkg
I also got the recon to kill said Reaper
So it's not anyone's problem but mine
:P
You’re not my dad
Look at any given time if there's just gunners and reapers and fuckshit
ugh new weapons when fatshark
I'm going to give the entire room botched laser eye surgery
i swear new weapon patches end up being the most fun
And we'll storm them in melee and they just can't shoot at us anymore
I prefer giving the room high impact lead poisoning
Definitely more effective
single barrel stubber for vet when
there are many guns scabs and dregs get
but we don't
hellguns, belt-fed lmgs, longlas etc
I'd take a hellgun or hotshot
i want something belt fed for the vet
A personal stubba

Stubbas are just machineguns, and the Stubbas that ogryns use are twin linked so single barrel stubba for dakka gaming
like the talent page has been annoying me with the left most picture
some proper lmg would be cool
i like how you took the 30% dmg for 5 sec node for infiltrate but the 10% for 5 sec on ult use in the middle is not good enough your team needs to regain 15% of the toughness you regain for some reason
no the funny thing is they could just take marksman for 10 sec %20 power
of a vet just hipfiring a belt fed weapon like a badass while being assisted by a shoulder mounted targeting laser, gimme that!
agrip brauto is basically a lmg
it looks and feels like one
id like one thats capable of accurately aiming down sight
thats funny because if they do LMG they way I think its just gonna be a worse brauto for veteran
just give it tons of recoil to make it hard to control
agripina IAG is what you are describing
not enough ammo in the mag
graia IAG
i hope not... but itll probably happen
its pretty much a given we will get some heavy weapon style gun at some point
it would be amazing if it was a full on hotshot las or some mg42 thing like dreg gunners have
I just don't think slow braced lmg would synergize well with exec stance at all.
which is kinda ironic they put the machinegunner on the left side image
the pictures are just art its not a repesentation of anything
its just funy
left side tree would be a wheelchair krieger doing 80% overkill damage if it was accurate
I think the main problem with exec is nothing but the fact that you are competing with your teammates to begin with
depends, i could see the LMG being funny if exec stance suddenly makes it accurate and easily controlable
and by its nature having it coupled with an inaccurate slow ''support'' sort of weapon
just doesnt work
and its double funy for people who take highlight for allies
so their teammates can steal their kills guaranteeing exec will end early
then neither teammates keep the highlight nor do you keep the exec stance
..........me who doesnt take highlight for allies cuz they never shoot what i spot
the gun balance contradicts what the lift side tree is trying to do
true
Its exec stance that doesn't fit the game at this point
its supposed to be the sniper style gameplay but almost all actual precision guns like that dont need anything that tree has to offer to reach breakpoints
so it turns into some bastardized version of itself where the actual benefitors are low damage rapid fire guns
It wasnt a problem when vet was the dedicated class for elite/special hunting with the only ability designed for it
who have a much easier time keeping the chain buff going
literally the only change exec stance needs to become actually usable is the camo expert node from infitrate being added to it
helbores value the instant weapon swap but the problem is, both VoC/Infiltrate also give you the room to reload/swap while also replenishing your toughness
camo expert
lmao
oh that brings back funny memories
I think they probably thought about camo expert on the marksman keystone
Now that you have a marksman focused keystone having an ability also do the same thing but differently is dumb
and its just as broken as it sounds
yee except its for melee playstyle that doesnt even need the breathing room the way marksman builds do lmao
i use my gun 90% of the time
with a infil build
and a raking fire agrip
its incredibly good
i literally dumped every single defensive talent i had because i just do not get hit ever by anything anymore
90% less aggro for 10 sec means that the only thing that will ever touch you is like 2 random poxwalkers per wave
infiltrate with camo expert lets you actually shoot stuff like a marksman because you dont have 10 pipers spawning out of the door behind you trying to beat you to death 24/7
i understand the agrip brauto is the closest to an LMG we can get, but ive been trolled by it so much cuz im forced to take out distant targets like snipers etc
too bad
that i dont like using it
going from survivalist-infiltrate and back to left tree
you pay a lot of tax
I saw some helbore infiltrate builds on yt
and all of them rather garbage
yeah you lose like 3 points
sucks but its the price you pay for one of the absolute best dps setup builds in the game
If I take a blessing from say a Graia IAG, would it be usable on a CIAG?
no
Both are IAGs but different patterns
blessings are weapon specific
as long as they belong to the specific weapon group you can
brace auto guns blessings wont be able to apply infantry auto gun blessings
no
but if you take a blessing from the agrip IAG you can put it on the columnus IAG
blessings you get from agrip brauto will only work for agrip brauto
Play zealot.
Brauto becomes a laser beam
:P
In all seriousness IAG is what ur looking for
what do?
If u want an accurate bullet hose
oh yeah?
yes, as long as its the same weapon group its fine
rampage --> brutal momentum
crit chance --> flak
I have cycler 4, should I roll up a PS or keep using the XIIIg for just general versatility
but like a headhunter autogun blessing is ONLY for other headhunter autoguns
Use what u like
what builds do ppl run with IAG?
no
I mean
they are shared between weapon families
Whatever u want
braced autoguns share blessings with each other
IAGs are pretty build independent
i was thinking of something else
e.g., if you got a blessing from a graia braced auto, that gets to be used on the agri and columnus brauto
need coffee
The only things an IAG really wants is precision strikes
Everything else just go with what u wanna go with for ur build
i am so careful to hit everything with shotgun... still... not 90%+ accuracy... just wtf... is there some trick to it or is game trolling me?
I did it a few weeks ago with revolver
its doable
i should ve do it 5 times already xD
revolver with no ammo buffs and it has low base ammo, I only dumped it into 2 monstrosities, melee build for the rest of the mission
I did it with the plasma gun
you can just use a trash revolver too, it doesnt matter if you're only gonna use it to magdump into monstrosities and play melee vet
Can't miss when your charged shots go through the map lol
gonna try revolver, i am becoming desperate and angry at game, i see the X as hit all the times with shotgun... yet still nothing
I feel your pain
did it with plasma, took about 5 tries
Revolver was also my goto choice
Yeah around that
Before the Class updatew it was alot more ass to do hahah
Mostly a skill issue + revolver users stealing my kills before my overcharge could shoot 
all red keystone buffs start ticking after you leave stealth
enter the reddit.
I want to get rid of the brittle but i dont know what should go on it
it performs pretty well already
swap spec damage perk for maniac.
probs swap supercharge for rampage?
i already swapped out stamina efficiency for carapace
so i've only got one change
I could swap carapace for maniac tho, ig
i have a wrath 4 power sword sitting in the wrings
this thing already cleaves like a hot knife through butter ,though.
sunder 4 on another
i dont think cara is really worth except in a few rare cases to pass breakpoints. maniac is great coz of the enemies it covers includes ragers and trappers and one of the flamers i think?
flak is generally useful as many of the mid tier enemies have flak and you can cut the hits needed to kill them. but if you use charge well you can carve them up with that
My revolver already oneshots gunners and shotgunners
I'm running the target mark keystone
It takes four shots to down a marked crusher, for reference
mauler chest is flak, generally better to chest them rather than headshot
yeah, i'm aware of that.
ok thx for help... first try revolver done xD
if you want to go something else for a specific build fine. but they are the most rec as they are the most useful in the most places
I think i'm gonna swap out supercharge for sunder or wrath
This power sword mostly exists to say 'Get off of me so i can get back to doming specialists and elites'
So deleting hordes is a very good thing for it
then why take cara on it?
Some advice here please, I guees unarmored -> flak and deathspitter -> dum dum is the way to go here?
That was a spur of the moment decision after being caught with no bullets in my revolver by a crusher patrol
that's already a pretty good gun.
What's the build you're running on that?
voc, weapon specialist
Sounds good
Stripped down and ghost might go well, but you already have some good ideas for it
Wep spec on the coach seems meh
Why run wep spec m
sprint or specialist gone for maniac?
Leaning towards specialist
Because it's fun and strong
I'll go with my ideas then
You do you but I think you arent getting much for your gun
I'm not getting much for it? What do you mean?
Your ideas are correct
deathspitter is fine, dumdum is also good. unarmoured is pretty trash unless you need to clear pyjama bois faster. flak would be better
much better... stupid shotgun xD
I personally think you are better off without keystones on ciag but you do you
Or if rending strikes, pick tag
Dum dum is a must since it's bugged
get that subnode for that sweet sweet %toughness regen
sprint is only really great with stripped down imo. swap that for maniac
Running this right now, clearing auric maelstrom with pretty good stats with my current columnus 5 and knife 6
Interesting
The Kantrael is very good a popping heads and can one shot headshot like the best but the thing about lasweapons is with Vet they can be very ammo efficient. Still had basically a full ammo load at the end of mission without any ammo pickups. Its just they're very weird and do more damage the farther away you are (unless certain perks are being reflected on weapon stats)
except the recons
yeah run the weapon as is on malestrom a bit, sprint efficiency is nice tho i will miss it
but recons get stagger?
You should add why they are so ammo efficient cause that reads as if it did so on its own
well if you go survivalist and shock trooper, a Vet can make good use of lasguns
though, I wonder what would happen if you went no auras build.....
i am trying to make lasgun build, any tips? .)
take shock trooper
Depends on what you want to do and which lasgun
suggestions?
oh yeah, definitely gonna take shock trooper, VIIa lasgun
so far this, jsut hit 30 level so i can try to roll some weapons finaly .)
Thats like 1 talent point away from what i planned (want that dodge giving stamina)
Oh wait, also want crit aim that uses stamina
Recon las gun is pretty damn terrible, be warned
At least he didn't say Recon II
It's in there
yeah , if you wanna use lasgun , is probs better to use pistol or hellbore
the 2 laspistols are amazing, the mk12 is great
and yeah full auto mod makes them not give you RSI
I would use laspistol more, but they nerfed the ROF of the basic one back to prepatch
also FOV mod means you can use them like sniper rifles
How does suppression work?
eh i draw the line at FOV altering if the gun wasn't meant to do it
I like how this game does suppression
more shooters need to get more creative to make covering fire actually useful
I feel bad at times killing those enemies just hiding scared while im on killing spree
I know on Gunner Ogryn with heavy stubber you can lockdown a horde, its nice, I'm just not sure what weapons for Vet could do that
the braced autoguns are the best at applying suppression
most automatic weapons will do it if you shoot enough and the enemy type is cowardly enough
yeah the agri brauto is your friend if you want to shoot down hordees
killing enemies with a boltgun or plasma gun will cause a small "oh shit" suppression around the enemy you kill
They are heretics 🗿
braced or shredder pistol
the agrri brauto in particular since it has 3 cleave
compared to the medium variant, the columnus, which has 2.1 cleave
meh if they wont give us customisation like scopes then idc about doing it with mods
Agri brauto I noticed a lot of enemies just not shooting me period because I only did a half burst in the direction
Feels very good
like half the guns are barely usable without modding sights on them
Hmm they certainly play different enough imo
If youre going for that long range play style go Exe MF
the stagger and suppression values built into the agri brauto are pretty stronk
i use stealth sniper build , for hellbore
TO BE FAIR kinda? You get used to em
guns are very usable with vanilla sights , sure they get better if you add modded ones
bolter and HB irons are aids
The lack of sights is a bit disappointing, but we are a penal group. Though, at 30 we're supposed to be full members of the warband so.....
Yeah usable
they are still terrible
hb I kinda get , since you do want precision aim
We are penal in level 1-5 or such
Afterwards we are expendable troops to say
and yeah at 30 we are warband members
Anyone else slightly disappointed by the fact the other Headhunters don't have hyperburst?
Bolt gun is just square
In theory fs do want to add weapon customization
But that's probably pretty far down the road
I wish to see more of the dialogue, because maybe we will get some real respect
Rannick already was like 🤨 damn this crackheads lowkey good
i wish ghost was just a little longer
Like m, seemingly at trust 30 Hadron says things she doesn't say when you're trust level 1
i just so keep losing the immunity before landing another shot sometimes
Its already kiinda here
Makes sense
Guards I noticed
the rest I didn't in an obvious way
but been a long while since I was low level
Even with alternate characters I kinda bulldoze through low level quickly
i also think the lines of mission advisors change depending on difficulty played
when can we have this for vet
if you play sedition, they talk about you worse than if you play damnation but i might be imagining things
really? oh man
its bad but you can make it work with some build
but we dont even have the armors that are on the games cover art, for any class

dumdum+headhunter, onslaught is a must, lasgun ammo refill
krak grenades are probably still a good idea
that makes me sad again
and you need a solid melee so you dont waste ammo on hordes
I AM THE LAW
DAMN RIGHT
Up to malice if you still playing it, it should be perfectly okay
But in Heresy-Damnation you are underperforming
If you can make it work, sure go for it, but be aware of the fact
Recon requires way too much ammo intake for performing decent
🤔 that would be interesting
they never really talk down to me when i play normally
but when im low level i think they talk more shit about you
Huh
and its not the level since people can be different levels in the party
so it must be my choice of difficulty
i usually level on uprising
the recons can kill trash shooters fine enough, it's just that they lack the damage output and ammo to kill anything bigger efficiently
it would indeed
Exactly
even normal ppl cost too much ammo
and you kill a lot of bigger things at higher diffs
You can do the bare minimum job, but against the big threats you have the worst peashooter
since recon not only shoots super fast but also uses multiple numbers per bullet
like all lasguns
a lot of smaller things too tbh
Recon if they don't have the will to fix its damage problems, needs a shit ton of ammo more
i dont see how its a problem to just give it the same dps as other guns
Fatshark could have just upped the base ammo until they get over it
literally just make it an autogun
People ocmplaining about "BUT IS RECOILESS"
Like autogun recoil is hard to control
Okay to be fair like
as if autoguns had recoil lmao
EXACTLY
yegh I gotta like test this more
also one thing just being better than another isnt as big a problem
as one thing being shit
Becauuuuse the vest recon model is doing as much damage as some iags
The ammo econ is just worse
just because 2 things are top tier, other things dont suddenly stop being fun
Gonna run back the drawing board
Like dear lord, the recoil of autoguns is so easy 
I have played games where recoil feels more like the Bolter shooting fullauto while ADSing 
ok, ty, will try it
Vid
btw
the other two are bad im pretty sure
the local recon man says VId, dumdum+headhunter, onslaught and lasgun refund ammo
I agree
I always am pro- add more guns even if they overlap in roles
you can bet i wont stop using helbores just because they release a better charging rifle
no even a little better is fine
eh, yeah a bit is okay
otherwise wed all be running around with plasma, columnus or revolver
but careful with power creep
I run now with Bolter
but ppl who actually just play the game to have fun dont and clear t5 fine
not once have i had the urge to complain that plasma and revolver are super strong
all that matters is that my gun does good
not if others do better
although ofc you need to make sure a gun isnt so good that it ERASES the map
like assail once did
Mhmm
thats a problem since it steals gameplay from the others
so i hope they just make recon an autogun
if all the metaslaves swap to it from autoguns so what
i dont see how its a problem
I am content with it feeling like I am not trolling my other 3 allies
Because if I do like shit
is not my time I am wasting
is 3 others time
yeah
and sadly for me
I mean well
Recon fits in that
The fastest firing one is best
The mid range is the worst
The slow firing one is okay
VId > VIIa > > > > II
Yuhh
I need more > >
Only thing it has is better ammo economy
but you are doing so little dps
it depends on your FoV movement shooting habits
I play with the max the game allows
right now I'm not very happy about iag recoil either as it starts strong but then immediately stops kicking
your max fov is meaningless
because
the game zooms in to a certain fov when you ads anyways
yes thats what I was getting at
there are mods to get rid of exec zoom
or the weapon ads zoom
but its a fair trade off in my eyes
on more long range capable guns I keep the FoV as is
Hmm
You can onetaps gunner switch agri ?
that sounds like a crit
Shooters u mean
i cant even onetap them with headhunters
Ah shooters
ah
Makes sense
Still nice
ah shooters
HHs should easily 1 tap gunners
Ah fair ye
but without any setup, no
think its fair you have to invest some talents into it
Or unintentional multi-Vet Krak throws lol
yeah thats fine
im just saying i doubt agri could without crit if HH cant
without setup
I think currently the only issue I see with HH guns is how the marksman flavored ability/keystone works
but thats not a gun issue
i would prefer a different keystone
as if exec isnt enough headache
and sadly adds almost nothing to actual marksman guns
@untold mulch
because they ALREADY oneshot


and the stacks are horrible to hold
Like I think only Vraks 7 gets real benefit?
Yep
Like some here say is easy
but I feel like they are assuming their usual aim is the norm?
The toughness Regen is nice
my aim is a lot better when I can play naturally and not bother with stupid time gated gimmicks
true
deadshot is the only well designed marksman talent for veteran
and everything else is utter garbage
I am not a terrible shot, but I prefer my mind focusing on positioning, threat directions and my movement
Than being mentally pushing myself to shoot heads constantly instead of whatever bodypart is easiest now
skill issue
yes
build stamina
you're the only class that can turn stamina into free dps
with only one talent point
but what about nonmarksmen guns? Though, tbf, I mostly don't run a keystone on a lot of my builds and if I do take one, its going to be the mark enemy
and have like +4 stamina
Marksman should work with that
its definitely better on auto guns
If I wasn't sucdh an IAG addict I should try Deadshot Bolter...
+4 is not a lot
Is easier to keep stacks the less you accurately have to aim
IN A VERY FUNNY SAD WAY
i have one +3 curio and +1 from skill tree i think
and im doing fine honestly
although it seems weird that i only have +4. my stamina bar is so big
yes, its not a lot for iLas that gets meh base stamina to begin with
Also, Tag keystone is very good
i love how on my shovel i have infinite stamina now
throw another +3
due to all the stamina
imo the only real GOOD vet keystone
Weapon Spec nerfs its gun synergy for no reason
MF is just
dumb
weapon spec is still really good for iags
I wonder if there could be a cloak combo with that since it would allow you to dump all your aggro
Fair, but would be nice the crit too
I don't even care about the damage
The +stamina/toughness
FOR EVERYONE?
dmg and toughness to me are amazing

it often makes the oneshot possible
I just tag as normal
would be too good probably
and all allies get buffs
but the bonus is
and on bosses, it makes a MASSIVE difference
I mean
so you get more crit per crit anyways
look the problem is not zealots getting free crit
I meant as a comparison
problem is your marksman ability/keystone having silly conditions
Yeah
and punishing you for playing the game the way its meant to be played
punished for moving, weapon swapping, using grenades, dodging, sliding
But that
Tag is good keystone that rewards a good mechanic tag threats
tags good I changed my opinion on it
Weapon Spec is good if you go melee, but I dislike the gun aspect of the basic keystone
because its a very low effort keystone
Marskman Focus is just 
so considering that its actually rly good
When?
you just press mark every 10 seconds and get mad benefits
that looks ridiculous
Same
Most of the kickback I had and I think several others about Tag keystone
is that the tooltip
is written like absolute dogshit
yea and the real good stuff are in the modifiers
To fire that minigun, you need ogryn in team to punch you 20cm deep into the ground first so you wont just fly backwards instantly upon firing
it also changed from first tease to actual release
tbf on mini's they make the guns really big to get some details across
Weapon Spec honestly is mostly for full melee vet
Change gun, shoot at anything
have 5 seconds of silly melee
I could chain it with laspistol quickly
10
Imo, I still don't quite like the keystone but I am mostly sure because I prefer mostly ranged
how is the man even holding the gun
hed fall over
i swear the balance is way off
EMPEROR WILL
BELIEVE KORPSMAN
you are right
eh they gotta change marksmen focus somehow....
well if you prefer ranged you're supposed to build left tree which is the problem 
the bolter?
YEAH
At least they made the decision easy for rational people
standing still just aint it
just build both trees, no keystone vet is the way 
At least I always get rending strikes
so picking tag keystone
has no "tax" for me

they put precision/deadshot up so you can just take the good stuff and leave the marksman brainrot playstyle alone
Is a decentish bonus to every damage
some people go into that tree just for that talent
and i feel like that is overselling 10%
it helps with everything
good to pick up on the way of course
good for some weapons
rending helps with long range dropoff?
I heard yes
on some weapons it does
Sooo its very nice
the only way I run vet , with any iag and dclaw/psword 
and tag basically makes my Toughness to be 100%
some weapons have different armor pen values based on range

so yes rending helps when thats the case
you can inspect weapons to learn more about it
they'll list different damage percentage tables for near and far
when its below %100, rending gives big value
replace both blessings or replace hammerblow and unyielding?
Real quick, does anyone have advice for dealing with the "On Overwatch" penance?
I have said it before
marksman focus feels they just basically went backwards to balance it around
and headshot fishing is not for everyone
but that, weapons that fish headshots
already are oneshotting most
so whats the point
I don't think mf is as bad as exec still
you can take a VoC build and throw mf in it as free ranged damage
the point is you use the rapid fire weapons to hit headshots, and you use the single shot weapons for stuff like close quarters killzone 

The design team is having a blast
throwing random stuff at the table
they dont like ranged play
I am mostly sure yeah, they don't want people being able to play ranged
well not for veteran at least
or at least they do not want to favor it in any way
That's a lot of (first target) damage!
anyone?
same lol
be funny if it was worse than the recon
if its balanced around exec
for breakpoints
that would do it
noooo
I will jump to the eye of terror
destroy my soul for I do not wish to be here anymore
It would be funny if they made it an all class weapon
cause scrier gaze would absolutely demolish exec veteran with an lmg style gun
i need a mod that makes the sword parry a really loud metal CLANG
metal pipe drop meme
that but cool
does relentless gives +5 secs to the timer or just 5 secs from kill?
kek
like the parry sound from V.A Proxy
thats gonna be painful
what was relentless?
It would be absolutely fine if they followed their own autistic vision for ranged build trade-offs on all other classes
exec stance subnode?
😔
no way
If its the exec stance subnode, it resets the timer to 5 seconds
yep
Guardsmeb
Then that is not +5 secs
is a reset to 5 secs so keep firing
Will have the melta
ok, so i need to wait and kill enemies in 4 secs tandem to get 20 secs for penance, ok ty
Because they'd be in heavy enough armour to actually engage armour to use it
1-2
In malice-heresy you should be able to keep it easily
get the shooters are marked subnode
Ideally because I'm totally not bias vet and zealot would get it
But yeah, gameplay wise zealot might get it
1 and 2 and because it hits hard and fast
3 bayonet is awkward af
and I don't even think it gets more damage
and well
slashing bayonets cringe 🗿
YOU STAB LAD
IS A SPEAR DON'T USE IT LIKE A HALBERD 
mmk ty
anyone?
Sorry, don't use shovels, someone help this lad
I'd replace blessings
Though limbsplitter?
actually agreed
limbsplitter is okay but there's better ones imo since it doesn't cooldown while you're attacking
is the pick shovel
Limbsplitter I only see it if you plan to use it once every once in a while
i mean i could do funny crusher one hit shovel
normally takes that amount of time to separate one tbh
Lascannons are a thing now apparently
OH?
Wait
When you hit with it charging
it doesn't reset?
Suppression immunity = no scope flinching when gunners fire towards you?

If by lascannon we mean glorified laser pointer
Yes
while you're beating hordes it doesnt recharge
you need to not hit for 4 secs
Lemme test it
LASCANNON
Its designed to take down fragile quadrotors
Still good
I mean how else is it supposed to work ?
for some reason I thought for a sec that it was cooldown even if you were hitting
you get a damage bonus every X seconds regardless of your actions? Thats what the tooltip suggests.
but it doesnt work that way in practice.
So as usual in fartshart fashion, tooltip lies to you.
Been toying with this. Works pretty well, can keep it stance and reload 4-5 shells as long as there are specials around for the reload buff.
Ah I guess that's one way to read it
Infantry lasgun when, we need the war crimes already
I want to try chainaxe, what should I have on this? 😄
Not for a while
At the rate this decade goes, by 2027 the Emperor Of Mankind will pop up
Theyve been here for a long time brother, we are just blind to them
Lasers are awfully ineffectual againdt bodyarmour
fartshart seems busy with vermintide versus testing/balancing
I CAN'T HEAR YOUR LIES
I will deny
Idk when they'll be done with that
CHain ax you have to do Heavy Attacks
Supposedly they should have 2 teams one for each game
I guess u could leg meta with lasguns xD
I’ve been playing with the short auto gun lately pretty fun
