with a team, you just need to stick with them

#

Aight

zealous wyvern
#

also shredder grenades help

celest vine
#

I love dogs

fallen helm
#

Using the frag cloud thing rn

#

I'm happy with my build I just need to actually mess around with blessings

celest vine
#

:))))))))))

fallen helm
#

because I haven't optimised for shit rn

sharp ember
#

a comfortable melee weapon goes a long way for not getting downed by basic hordes

#

so like, not a tactical axe

zealous wyvern
#

or maybe this is a majoris even

#

look at that chaos

#

nevermind dont

fallen helm
#

It's movement/teamplay

sharp ember
#

you do want to make sure you’re next to at least 1 meatshield

#

most of the time being with your team in a bad position is better than being alone in a good position

fallen helm
#

Ok

zealous wyvern
#

for both you and your team

#

and therefore the missions success

sharp ember
#

when you notice a particularly cooperative teammate and cover eachother’s backs it’s really nice

fallen helm
#

So no ogryn ever

sharp ember
#

taunt ogryns usually have teamplay in mind

#

no guarantee for gungryns or bull chargers

fallen helm
#

I've played with like

#

2 good ogryns

#

every other one was just bashing rocks on their keyboard and hoping to get above 60k damage

sharp ember
#

a good ogryn is amazing and always has you covered

fallen helm
#

Yeah when I did meet a good one it was an easy match

Its the other Chainsword everyone uses?

#

Would this be any good? Meme with crit chance?

agile yew
#

Finesse is crit modifier so kinda ruined

sick marsh
#

yup. that sucks

rain badger
sick marsh
#

finesse is 2nd most important stat modifier.

rain badger
#

TIL, if finesse was at 80, would crit be good for a meme at least?

sick marsh
#

mobility is the one there that doesn't matter really.

agile forge
#

Crit isn't a meme I think?

placid portal
#

some weapons have really good crits

#

And finesse also affects weakpoints

rain badger
tiny summit
#

Settings for me do. Gonna have to tweak them

#

I'm also not heretical enough to put a scope

crude ermine
#

Tweakin settings

#

Yeah idk

#

I'm booored

bitter turtle
#

go back to the manganese ore mines

crude ermine
#

oh right

#

Silly me

white minnow
#

there's a setting in weapon customization that removes crosshair on ADS if you have a sight iirc

obsidian umbra
#

does the ui not show when exhilarating take down is active?

rigid whale
#

what melee do yall use for a stealth vet build

#

i've been using the standard issue shovel since it's my best melee for him lol

crude ermine
#

Bayonet

#

But in all seriousness uh

sharp ember
rigid whale
#

i suck with the helbore cause i just cannot aim that well

#

tried it before, not a bad weapon but i dont perform well with it at all

sharp ember
#

i use chainaxe so i can handle any target

#

and the melee talents still let me handle hordes with a chainaxe

agile yew
#

How is chainaxe horde clear though?

#

And which of the two models?

sharp ember
#

not* the fastest but good enough to be pretty safe with

rigid whale
#

i'm really surprised you can take both -90% threat and -50% toughness dmg reduction on infiltrate

sharp ember
#

i prefer mk12? the new one

crude ermine
#

More rectangular

#

Square

agile yew
#

I have been stockpiling Chain Axes on Zealot and Veteran so id have few suitable candidates to craft from

#

Web browser app for shop means all my ordo dockets go to good rolled items across 4 characters

sharp ember
#

you can use basically any blessing combination that you prefer to your playstyle

#

i like using bloodletter + thunderous for cheesy crusher 1 saw kills

agile yew
#

Says Zealot guide

tiny summit
rigid whale
#

are ogryns not considered specialist enemies? am i losing it?

sharp ember
#

because they just exist in the map without a special spawn noise

tender pasture
#

An Ogryn specialist would be quite funny

sharp ember
#

(disclaimer: snipers count as special even though they don’t have a noise outside of sniper gauntlets)

tender pasture
#

Bull charges and pancakes you

thick rose
#

anyone got much experiance with daggers on vet got any tips?

untold mulch
#

Half bursters I am sure they are legit just spawning from corners

#

Like we playing L4D2 versus and is a cheeky player

sharp ember
#

gives you a good damage boost to kill things immediately instead of trying to bleed them out

#

push attack spam does the same damage as heavy stabs, but is faster if you’re willing to burn stamina

thick rose
#

any thoughts on 3 vs 6?

timid otter
#

Had a silent burster yesterday that came from a spawndoor that proceeded to wipe out 3 people.

dusty sluice
#

suggestions?

#

or bricked

#

i'm using columnus iag with this btw

sharp ember
#

i think i prefer 3 for consistent heavy stab chain. the 6 is fine but doesn’t stand out

#

the slightly more horizontal attacks don’t feel like enough

sharp ember
#

i would maybe just deal with the blessings and change perks

#

gotta have at least flak

#

unarmored is useable, you can forego maniac if you plan to shoot them

dusty sluice
#

might put backstab to riposte since i have the iag with onslaught

#

and put one of the perks to flak

sharp ember
#

riposte is crit chance? sounds good

dusty sluice
#

ill be at 45% crit chance if riposte procs

#

i think hadron wants me to use this in a certain way

#

i could do a meme kinfe with this one

forest blaze
# agile yew How is chainaxe horde clear though?

It's fine. I've used Mk 12 a ton in aurics and even hard mode twins. It's not super fast but it knocks hoes around really well and you can deal with mixed hordes well. I pair it with plasma VoC and weapon specialist.

dusty sluice
#

plasma rashad is very fun

hadron approves

atomic zephyr
#

is there a reason to use a mk1 helbore over a mk2 besides just preference?

slow spade
#

Iron sights preference could affect gameplay

#

Other than that, yeah

Hadron decides which one you use anyways

bitter turtle
#

mk2 struggles to hit a lot of oneshot breakpoints on slightly hardier elites

#

pretty sure mk1 can do it

slow spade
#

Really? Surprised to hear that

#

Granted I dumped way too much plasteel into helbores Sitgryn

bitter turtle
#

well, just my guess

#

i only have a mk2

#

it just barely misses some enemies w

atomic zephyr
#

oh i see

#

last time i rolled a mk1 brunt gave me garbage so i just said fuck it and kept using my mk2

bitter turtle
#

yeah

#

just tested it

#

crit headshot bp is possible on mk1

#

not really on mk2

#

at least without keystones

#

that being said

#

mk2 charges so fast it might as well be instant

#

which is nice for the lighter enemies like gunner

#

since you still need to charge slightly to oneshot them without a crit

slow spade
#

Ah I'm using Ping Keystone so I'm pretty reliably getting a minimum 16% damage boost on targets

bitter turtle
#

i run full on bayonet focus

#

so i use mk2

idle swallow
#

For my skill setup I gotta take unarmored or elite damage on mk2 helbore to 1 shot headshot dreg gunners without crits, mk1 does it raw

bitter turtle
#

since i dont shoot ragers

#

i just run in and stab the shit out of them

#

so fast charge to knock out gunners is fine by me

slow spade
bitter turtle
#

it works against everything

slow spade
#

I noticed mine doesn't wirk well vs the flak bois

bleak jackal
#

any1 notice the armorseeking kraks? PES5_Noted

slow spade
#

Ah I should move some points around

bitter turtle
#

to maniac and flak

#

ragers i eman

slow spade
#

Odd

bitter turtle
#

1.1k

slow spade
#

I need to mess with mine more then

bitter turtle
#

well

#

1.1k with agile

#

but i try to keep it up constantly

atomic zephyr
#

mk2 helbore with t4 onslaught is fucking crazy tbh

slow spade
#

Ah

bitter turtle
#

960 without agile

agile yew
#

We need gun with chainbayonet you can rev

bitter turtle
#

agile lets me 2shot ragers with a head stab

slow spade
#

I don't run Agile :c

bitter turtle
#

so its nice

slow spade
#

So 3 hits for me

bitter turtle
#

well like i said, its really a bayo build more than the gun lul

slow spade
#

Indeed while I went for guns lol

dire olive
bitter turtle
#

well

#

even if you dont run agile

#

if you do fire team

#

instead of close and kill

#

you can hit just barely 1k

eternal sable
#

not a problem

bleak jackal
south garnet
#

WHERES THE MONEY FATSHARK?

slow spade
#

The ping keystone helps hopefully lol

bitter turtle
#

this is no agile but with fire team

#

i just like running close and kill with this build

hoary stratus
#

wait, mk1 charges slower than mk2?

bitter turtle
slow spade
#

Yeah

bitter turtle
#

medium damage medium charge

hoary stratus
#

damn it

#

now I have to build a 3rd helbore

dire olive
hoary stratus
#

I thought 2 was middle

slow spade
bitter turtle
bleak jackal
bitter turtle
#

run no respite

slow spade
#

Rip shock trooper

bitter turtle
#

which is part of why i do lcose and kill

dire olive
idle swallow
#

If the damn mk3 didn't have that stupid as hell diagonal bayonet slash I would actually wanna run it

bitter turtle
#

cause i do 900 and then the followup stab gets buffed by no respite

slow spade
bitter turtle
#

so its a kill anyway

slow spade
#

Idk what I have locked atm

bitter turtle
#

no need for fire team

bleak jackal
#

ooh nice

dire olive
#

Maybe even unyielding?

#

pretty sure they stick to monsters

bleak jackal
#

never noticed since i use them only against monsters and ogryns

slow spade
#

Carapace and unyielding

#

Krak only guides to Carapace

bitter turtle
#

they stick to everything

#

er

#

sorry

slow spade
#

Oh they also stick to Flak

bitter turtle
#

stick to flak/unyielding/carapace

#

but they only magnetize to carapace

#

as in the part where you can miss by a mile and it still changes directions to stick

dire olive
#

useful for popping the crusher/mauler in a horde

slow spade
#

Meanwhile the scab melee going "GET DOWN MR. PRESIDENT" when I throw a krak UwU

last parcel
#

k k k k kwak gwenade

bitter turtle
#

that is also part of why

#

i prefer shredders

#

hoenstly they're just more reliable

#

sometimes if ur throwing krak into a pack it magnetizes to the worst guy possible and takes out only one

slow spade
#

I use kraks on anything but plasma

#

Plasma gets shredder

bitter turtle
#

shredder is just really good at everything

dire olive
#

Shredder is objectively better tbh yeah

bitter turtle
#

knockiong down crushers and killing everything else in the room is pretty much just as good as taking out the crusher

#

since a lone crusher is

#

harmless

dire olive
#

better to deal with 4 elites and no horde than a horde and 4(-1) elites

slow spade
#

I just wish it was easier to tell what talents buff shredders

bitter turtle
#

this is my current bayonet build lul

#

also

#

there's a list

#

damage is increased by damage buffs from Bring it Down!, Close Quarters Killzone (if within 8m to the enemy), Competitive Urge, Covering Fire (if applied to Veteran by another Veteran), Grenade Tinkerer, Longshot (if not within 8m to the enemy), Redirect Fire! (if tagged), Skirmisher, Superiority Complex (against elites), Surprise Attack, and aura Fire Team; damage can also be affected by weapon perks and blessings if Veteran swaps to weapon before the grenade explodes

#

but yeah, one of the few builds i can actually afford to run infiltrate without kneecapping myself since bayonet doesnt need much in way of keystones or talents

#

also its just hella fun

#

stealth and bayonet charge behind enemy lines and wreak havoc

#

lol

hoary scaffold
#

Is there a detailed veteran build?

bitter turtle
#

for what

bleak jackal
#

and here i sit with my Kantrael XII because i luv me las

#

Make Kantraels great again pls

#

*even greater

hoary scaffold
#

My friend just reached level 30

bleak jackal
bitter turtle
#

you cant just ask for a build without saying what weapons you want to use

#

at the very least, is it automatic or semi auto

#

and what melee weapon

atomic zephyr
#

shout is reliable for a close-quarters playstyle, exe stance is for shooting things, infiltrate I like for stealth stabbies

#

can decide on a build from there

#

an infiltrate sniper build is also a possibility but I think exe stance is better suited for it

#

essentially, the game’s his oyster

bitter turtle
#

nah

#

most snper guns dont want exec

#

at least the good ones

#

since they can hit their own bps fine without it

#

for something like v7, exec literally adds about 100 damage per shot on a crusher and that's about it

atomic zephyr
#

mm true

bitter turtle
#

evverything else it already one taps

#

if anything, sniper guns would love infil but most of them just end up taking shout because its too hard to pick up infil AND all the talents to reach the correct bps

atomic zephyr
#

I just like it because I don’t have to worry about accidentally missing an elite because it’s too dark

bitter turtle
#

but that -90% aggro would be great to stand there and pick off gunners without being bothered by poxwalkers lol

gusty bison
#

How far it has fallen TT

gusty bison
#

Braced auto and?

#

Shredder?

#

Does MG1a need exec to hit BPs?

bleak jackal
#

now and then i run heresy just to play with a kantrael

gusty bison
#

It needs better handling I feel

#

thats the main thing keeping it down

forest blaze
#

IIRC there some BPs you can hit with exec on plasma to one shot basically everything. To be fair tho, you can already one shot basically everything with plasma without exec

gusty bison
gusty bison
#

Like 2 stacks is enough iirc

forest blaze
#

Yah it’s something like that

gusty bison
#

Which you always have 2 stacks so

forest blaze
#

Sniper plasma you’ll pretty much just do focus target and either shout or infil. Shout being your strongest team one and infil being your clutch button for bad teams.

slow spade
#

Don't have a pic sadly

#

But basically a Ping Keystone with Deadshot and Survivalist

dusty sluice
#

what perk would be better to keep?

agile forge
#

I have accidentally started Ogryn chat talking about knife builds, and they're all raving about it on Veteran. How would you best do this?

bleak jackal
#

why knife when i have a sword with more knifes

nimble sentinel
#

ayo I'm shopping for a wireless headset, y'all got recommendations?

hollow ibex
#

Mk3 if you don't mind carpal tunnel, otherwise mk6

spare ore
#

Aye fellas

#

While playing vet what’s the ideal acatran build

#

Fastest damage output

#

Because I typically use the first variant the quickest to fire

#

But I’ve heard others are better

dusty sluice
#

recons aren't very goon rn

spare ore
#

Yeh I’m talking the las rifles

#

Not the recons

#

Just the pew pews

dusty sluice
#

oh mb

#

i forgot about the 1a

spare ore
#

I’ve got one of each of the main three that are all pretty decent on stats

#

But I wanna figure out which one I could best min max damage for

slow spade
#

There's only Accatran recon guns though

#

I assume you mean the Kantreals

spare ore
#

Yes yes

#

Sorry

#

:(

#

I don’t remember names well

#

It’s funny bc I’ve been playing since it came out on Xbox

slow spade
#

Its ok, important to note because you could also mean the Lucious lasguns

dusty sluice
spare ore
#

The hellebores?

slow spade
#

Lucius*

#

Yeah

#

For pure damage per shot, MKXII is best

#

For sustain, its preference between MK4 and MG La with the main difference being shots per kill

#

I'd recommend the MG La

#

Pack Rending because they have relatively poor flak damage

#

Iirc the MG La has something terrible like 60% damage vs flak 😔

#

MG La can one shot kill reliably on weakspot hits

#

I haven't used MK4 much

nimble sentinel
#

ooooooooooooohSHIT we talkin kantraels? 😄

#

everything sheodoq said about the Ia is correct, I am a die hard fan of the IV

#

click on a regular shooters head and they die on the spot, fire rate is good enough to blast in a horde, bigger lads without damage bonuses like tagging or standing still will mean 2-3 shots but they go out so quickly you hardly notice

west lake
#

I love my XII, it's my beloved

nimble sentinel
#

if your aim is goated get a 4, if you're just learning the glorious ways of the gun the 1a has your back

west lake
#

Just left click heads, easy

#

Turn on flashlight for twin linked mode

nimble sentinel
#

another bonus the 4 has that the 1a does not, ADS movement speed increase. You can kite (with effort and practice) while clicking heads

west lake
#

Honestly the biggest sad about the kantrael is lack of penetration, so while you'll be killing things left and right, it's only one at a time

#

Helbore's pierce through, giving you a marginal option in horde situations. Plus, slightly better versus carapace enemies

nimble sentinel
#

all 3 will drop a poxer in the dome though

bleak jackal
slow spade
#

Clearly we need 100 cleave kantreals like the plasma gun UwU

west lake
#

Brutal momentum but for a gun

#

I've been messing around with the shovels more to compensate for the lack of crusher damage, and man I've been missing out

#

The shovel on ogryn is wacky, but the shovel on vet isn't far behind

muted knot
#

what do i do here gamers

west lake
#

Hard choice

muted knot
#

idont knowman

west lake
#

Right probably does more overall damage

#

although don't remember the cutoff for close range

muted knot
#

8m i believe

#

but im also unsure of the perks

#

i dont reallyneed flak

soft blade
#

las guns have high finesse so you’ll basically wanna just crit constantly with headhunter and deadshot

#

you’ll also probably want rending to help counteract their weird inverted falloff and bolster their god awful flak damage

dusty sluice
soft blade
#

mg 1a as previously mentioned is your best choice

#

second is the mg IV

dusty sluice
#

change both blessings?

soft blade
#

the mg 12 can be used for exe stance builds but atp just run a helbore

finite imp
#

what was ordained HAS COME TO BEEEE

nimble sentinel
#

slander, real imperial patriots use the mg4

finite imp
#

THE AGE OF KNIVES RISES

THE POWER SWORD IS LAME AND YOU ARE LAME

it does but then you’re lacking for hordes

Cos mercy killer + precog is nuts

i feel like you’d be better off just not running an ilas atp though

gusty bison
#

Thats correct

finite imp
#

THEY ALL SAID I WAS CRAZY

Only use iLas if u really like the feel and for the challenge

i’m responding to the dude asking for an ilas build lmao

If u must run iLas, MG1a is ok

Ooo mixed reviews

Very different worlds here

NO NO NO

#

LISTEN TO THE KNIFE MAN

#

CIAG

gusty bison
#

Best infantry autogun is columnus, but the other two are also very very good

gusty bison
#

If u want something with more stability at longer ranges

#

Theres also the vraks 3 headhunter which pretends to be an infantry autogun

dusty sluice
#

just replace the other blessing right?

finite imp
#

if you add the rending buffs to CIAG it becomes a fucking death sprayer

gusty bison

The vraks 7 headhunter is ur traditional dmr

correct

it’s not even close when it comes to recon las

they are better than the shredder tbh

But the shredder is near the bottom too

cursive nebula

i mean welcome to video game balance ig

pearl granite

gud on vet? 😄

junior needle
#

A lot of weapons have weird and unnecessary jank in this game

soft blade
#

if everything in the game was based on lore there’d be zero reason to ever use autoguns

junior needle
#

Not atm

soft blade
#

unless we could suppress them for stealth or something

dusty sluice
soft blade
#

fun and good are two different things doe

junior needle
dusty sluice
#

i have a meme build for it lol

junior needle
#

There's just no reason to take it over old revolver if you want to do old revolver things. And if you're taking it to blow up hard targets at close range there's much better options that don't gimp you for longer ranges.

terse idol
soft blade
#

the mg 12 could use a bit of help but otherwise yeah

junior needle
# terse idol The lasguns are fine

Not exactly at odds with the statement. They're "fine" in a vacuum but don't really stand out as being that good compared to alternatives.

dusty sluice
junior needle
#

low dps

#

Largely inferior to the 1a

soft blade
#

^

#

1a buffs made it pretty much irrelevant

junior needle
#

Although I suppose it is the highest alpha damage option

#

So if you want maximum one shots it's still the best option for that, but 1a has better general usability

finite imp
#

HEY YALL WHAT IF WE TOOK THE ABILITY TO AIM AWAY FROM A 5 ROUND PISTOL

Revolver sacrifices everything for damage. Why would you then take away two of its ONLY GOOD STATS for rpm

ACCURACY AND DAMAGE BYE BYE?? WHY

LITERALLY ATTACH FANNING TO THE SPECIAL OH MY GOD

ROCKET SCIENCE

finite imp
#

I could have designed a better revovler by fucking accident

#

This shit was on purpose

hollow ibex

Which is just fucking awful in mixed hordes

#

Give it the damage of the og revovler, it being inaccurate as fuck from literally 20 meters is such a brutal nerf

#

Like GOD

soft blade
#

nerf it again

finite imp
#

Yeah just make it as bad as the recon gums

#

Guns

bitter turtle
#

ngl

#

idk

gusty bison
#

It has plasma crosshairs but it has very little spread

bitter turtle
#

fanning revolver is actually a more fair revolver

gusty bison
#

It just doesnt have well

bitter turtle
#

i think its perfectly fine

gusty bison
#

"Fat bullet"

bitter turtle
#

it might feel a little worse on vet because of how zarona synergizes wstupidly well with wep speccialist

#

so the instant reload feels less significant

#

i can see it being preferalbe on other classes though

gusty bison
#

Agri volver also doesnt get as fat of a bullet

#

I think

bitter turtle
#

you still delete like half the roster of enemies in 1 shot anyway

gusty bison
#

So u need to aim more with it

finite imp
bitter turtle
#

well i mean

#

even for vet

finite imp
#

You wouldn't trust a zealot would you?

bitter turtle
#

i think its still a top weapon

compared to the majority of weapons

#

like

gusty bison
#

U use a knife ffs

bitter turtle
#

it still deletes like 90% of enemies in 1 shot

#

with basically no punishment

gusty bison
#

That either makes u a zealot or a brit

bitter turtle
#

what do you want from it

“knifemaxxer” throwing accusations of zealotry

hmmmm

Oh shit

Finished the refining. I'm very happy with my new axe.
Crushers and Plague Ogryns aren't as scary as they used to be.

junior needle

bitter turtle
#

like frankly

finite imp
#

Whose frankly

bitter turtle
#

i don t think revolver SHOULD be a portable quickswap sniper rifle

#

that also penetrates armor

acoustic sapphire
gusty bison
#

And has cleave

finite imp
#

You just want all the guns to be SHIT cuz ur a zealot

gusty bison
#

And has a bottomless clip

junior needle
#

So in other words, it only has acceptable spread if you stand still

gusty bison
#

And has fat bullets

junior needle
#

On a peestol

gusty bison
#

Tbf

finite imp
#

Standing still in damnation lol

gusty bison
#

U can let go of WASD for the moment u shoot

#

Then keep moving

bitter turtle
#

then just shoot twice for body shot or something

#

it reloads the whole clip at once anyway

gusty bison
#

Its a volver

soft blade
#

heheh

finite imp
#

Nope it's confirmed it sucks. It says it right here in this thing I'm reading "it sucks ignore the zealots"

bitter turtle
#

you're right, it should be effective at all ranges, have a bottomless clip, have 100% rending, and also make my breakfast for me

#

how could I be so foolish

finite imp
#

Mind you the font is insane scrawlings

#

And the thing is a napkin

finite imp
#

Riddle me something whimsical do the zealots get reload speed/attack speed buffs

junior needle
finite imp
#

I genuinely do not know

gusty bison
#

One reload speed buff

#

And its meh

bitter turtle
#

no gun attackspeed buffs iirc

gusty bison
#

The main ranged buff that zealots get is -75% spread -50% recoil

#

Which is usually always on

finite imp
#

I should try zealot a little

gusty bison
#

Zealot brauto is a drug

#

Gun becomes a laser beam

finite imp
#

It's only fair that if I trash a class that I'm also an expert and can make my insults accurate and personal

bitter turtle
#

beyond that its more unreliable

#

but that's like

#

ok to me

gusty bison
#

And shooting

bitter turtle
#

i meant standing still

#

moving i have to be closer

gusty bison
#

Ah ye

finite imp
#

Imagine not one shotting things so far across the map it bugs the hitreg

#

You see the blood splat and no damage happens

#

But it still dies

gusty bison
#

I feel like zarona needs the following two changes.

Cleave reduced from 5 to 2.
Fat bullet removed.

#

Prolly still strong AF after that but not braindead to use

bitter turtle
#

imo

finite imp
#

How about I remove a fat bullet from you

junior needle
bitter turtle
#

it should just not fucking kill crushers

#

at least as easily as it does atm

gusty bison
#

I feel like crusher killing atm is such a massive joke

finite imp
bitter turtle
#

like its still volver

#

it deletes basically anything smaller than mauler in 1 hit

#

well u need to crit for rager ig but yeah

finite imp
#

He's right tho

gusty bison
#

Like if volver doesnt kill crushers

finite imp
#

Crushers can die in 2 or 3 shots

gusty bison
#

Im just gonna swap to shovel

idle swallow
#

had someone compliment my bolter vet and inspect my loadout post match, that always feels nice

bitter turtle
#

im just saying

gusty bison
#

And 1/2 tap the crusher

bitter turtle
#

its part of why ppl go

#

"why does bolter even exist"

#

cause yeah

junior needle
bitter turtle
#

why even use bolter when you have a fast gun that does the exact same thing

gusty bison
#

Bolter is a bodyshot gun tbf

finite imp
gusty bison
finite imp
#

That was as close to a compliment as I've goten

bitter turtle
gusty bison
#

Volver isnt so good with bodyshots

#

But like

bitter turtle
#

and reapers are fat enough that its fairly reliable to fan

gusty bison
#

Volver also has fat bullets

#

So it doesnt matter

finite imp
#

CLEEEEEAVE

trim hemlock
#

Cleaving one poxwalker is fine

finite imp
#

Don't you wanna kill 7 shotgunners in one shot

#

???

trim hemlock
#

but cleaving 4 and hitting something behind them is ridiculous

gusty bison
finite imp
#

Revolver h8rs

junior needle
#

I suppose you can run surgical on it too but

finite imp
#

If they come for my gun I'm coming for yalls

bitter turtle
#

idk i do it fine with a few stacks of focus

#

i dont have redirect fire so if u just run it with redirect you should be able to do it reliably with 1 stack

junior needle
bitter turtle
#

ya as in like 2

#

like idk

#

im just saying

#

is that so wrong anyway

#

my v7 cant oneshot flamers either w/o crit even if you dont want to run focus

#

and i also have to dump like 10 bullets into a crusher to kill it unlike volver

junior needle
#

v7 doesn't have handcannon

bitter turtle
#

yes

junior needle
#

If it did well

bitter turtle
#

im not saying it should have it

#

im saying

#

is it so wrong that agri actually has a weakness

#

i think its actually a way more balanced volver lol

#

and like fair while still being a good gun

finite imp
#

Against still targets the argument is DIRTY

bitter turtle
#

instead of the glorious 1000 folded steel gun that oldvolver is

gusty bison
finite imp
#

Made of glorious niipon steel

gusty bison
#

U cant have DA, Surg and HC

bitter turtle
#

and like

#

if u reall yneed 100% reliability

junior needle
bitter turtle
#

fan twice bodyshot into flamer still kills

tall torrent
#

does anyone know if deleting the user settings config file resets all the settings to default

junior needle
#

it should

gusty bison
#

Fuckit

#

Im making an agri volver build

tall torrent
#

I might have tweaked one too many things and somehow my GPU temp went berserk

nimble sentinel
#

junior needle
bitter turtle
#

that's on zealot

soft blade
bitter turtle
#

idk if its actually good on zealot tbf

#

but i used oldvolver similarly

#

with speedload handcannon

#

before they nerfed the shit out of speedload into being a piece of trash

#

so im sure its decent

#

as in

woven tide
#

I have a feeling that that person doesn't know how smoke works at all and has some horrible aim to boot

bitter turtle
#

i woul djust bodyshot dump things and then reload super fast

#

and rely on the 25% crit on zealot tree for crushers

fiery wave
bitter turtle
#

by dumping shots until i crit lul

bitter turtle
#

but it worked

#

fine

fiery wave
#

Then assume grenades are why they win

bitter turtle
#

and felt decent

#

maybe not as good as hand surg but that's literally op as fuck

junior needle
bitter turtle
#

like let me ask

#

what do you think revolver role should be

white minnow
woven tide
bitter turtle
#

cause personally i feel like it should be a close range sidearm to take out light-medium elites

#

which agri does fine

fiery wave
#

100%

bitter turtle
#

i dont think it needs to be a 100000 range sniper rifle that deletes armor

white minnow
#

i'd copy-paste that stuff, save it somewhere, and then delete the config file if you're planning to do it

junior needle
bitter turtle
#

idk

#

i dont think its shit when comparing it to my v7

#

that's just my experience if we're going off that then

#

feels like i trade long range reliability for armor pen

#

which is fair

junior needle
#

Different gun line

bitter turtle
#

yes but similar role

#

and one of the reasons guns like v7 are not considered top tier is bc of guns like revolver and plasma

#

that just do the same thing but with armor pen

#

so why even bother unless u just like v7 for its niche of killing gunners faster when they're not stacked

#

which the other two do fine anyway in reality

#

just slightly slower at worst

junior needle
#

Darktide has a big problem with guns just being weaker versions of other guns

rigid whale
#

standard issue shovel stands above

bitter turtle
#

ya

#

but worse version doesn't necessarily mean recon tier

#

i feel like agri is comparable to v7 in power

#

its good but with clear weaknesses

#

and i think that's a good place to be

#

it doesnt need to be a do-everything gun like oldvolver

junior needle
#

I haven't used the vraks 7 so I can't comment on that, but I'm severely unsatisfied by how inaccurate fanning becomes.

#

If it actually kept the shots fairly tight I'm sure it wouldn't feel nearly as bad

white minnow
#

should've just been accurate but higher recoil that you could manually control

junior needle
#

But when I fan and visibly see my shots disappear into the distance around my target

bitter turtle
#

if it kept the shots tight then u just fan everything so why even make it a choice there

white minnow
#

cuz you can balance it by adding more recoil

bitter turtle
#

fanning is meant for close range

junior needle
#

You ads for everything with old revolver

bitter turtle
#

yes

#

because its a shit design weapon

junior needle
#

You ads for everything with most guns if you can help it

bitter turtle
#

i genuienly hipfire quite often on v7 personally

#

its part of why i build it to oneshot gunners without a crit

junior needle
#

While that's nice, you're removing the benefit of surgical by doing it

bitter turtle
#

so i dont need to ads on literally everything with surgical

#

yes

#

that's actually the point lul

nimble sentinel
#

my mg4 gets more hip action than I do

bitter turtle
#

stay more mobile that way

junior needle
#

Just dodge

bitter turtle
#

if i just hipfire headshot a squad of gunners w/o ads it lets me stay on the move much more than adsing on them

nimble sentinel
#

hipfire is good on hordes

bitter turtle
#

that too but i dont v7 into hordes if i can help it

#

sometimes tho yes

#

like i said, though

#

there's a point to it

gusty bison
#

What gun wants to into hordes anyway

#

Hordes icky

bitter turtle
#

so yes

#

imo

nimble sentinel
#

mg4, infinite ammo bruv

bitter turtle
#

revolver going "lmao just ads always" is shit design

#

why even have a button for it then

#

or a choice at all

gusty bison
#

More effective

nimble sentinel
#

magdump a mixed horde, come out with more ammo

#

they never get in range to smack your balls

old quail
junior needle
#

You still can hipfire and hit things, it's just inferior. Which is how essentially every gun in every shooter works.

bitter turtle
#

i mix adsing and hipfiring on all the guns i play, v3, v7, iag, even hb2

gusty bison
bitter turtle
#

except when i play revolver bc lul

junior needle
bitter turtle
#

if ur wondering why hipfire hb2

#

becaus ei play it melee range btw

#

lul

#

quick activations of agile engagement

gusty bison
#

Its to proc agile

#

Ye

nimble sentinel
finite imp
bitter turtle
#

like idk

#

oldvovler is so fucking boring

gusty bison
#

:P

finite imp
nimble sentinel
#

their balls will sprint for me

finite imp
#

Captain longballs

gusty bison
#

:P

nimble sentinel
#

balls so long slaanesh wanna find me

junior needle
#

While you may find it boring, it is very effective. And also very satisfying for others for that reason.

bitter turtle
#

that's fine

#

but i think there's no argument that it's overtuned

gusty bison
junior needle
#

I'm fine with the fanning provided my shots don't go ridiculously wide

#

Even if it takes more shots to kill things than old revolver

gusty bison
#

Cos u can miss with the zarona and still headshot

bitter turtle
#

fanning bodyshots is reliable up to 15m while standing still

#

i dont see the problem

#

10m if ur moving

junior needle
bitter turtle
#

u were way beyond 10m though

#

i mean ig i can make a video but i literally am not missing a single time while strafing fanning on a rager at 10m

#

bodyshots

#

mind u

#

but that's the point of fanning

#

at least how i see it

#

its for panic shots at close range to get shit off you

gusty bison
#

I wonder if the recoil reset on rmb is faster than the lmb fire rate

junior needle
nimble sentinel
#

I think we are all wrong on this day, hipfire has its uses and og revolver is meant to never hipfire

#

everyone except me tho

#

shoot the hordes

bitter turtle
#

and dont say oldvolver

junior needle
# bitter turtle like what?

For deleting most enemies nearby? Laspistols, iag's, brautos are great for casual hipfire and function at a longer range than 15m, shotguns work for it too and more usable at range.

bitter turtle
nimble sentinel
#

laspistol aint it chief

bitter turtle
#

even the ones that do have armorpen need onslaught and 4 points down that tree and time to build up the stacks

#

plus

#

i'd argue the most popular iag at least

#

@ colu

#

is not really any more reliable than revolver bodyshotting at long range

junior needle
#

Oh yeah, boltor

#

That exists

bitter turtle
#

yeah

#

the gun that takes 10 years to pull out

#

and reload

nimble sentinel
#

tbh double rending recon las would be viable

junior needle
#

Taking onslaught isn't a big deal

bitter turtle
#

yes

nimble sentinel
#

for this niche scenario

bitter turtle
#

even with onslaught

#

u get 2k dps

#

with iags

#

compared to me just doing 3.6k on a test on a crusher rn with agri

#

maybe more if u do deadshot meme on iag

#

but that has its own obvious problems

junior needle
#

Yeah I think a measly 2k crusher dps is a fine price to pay for substantially improved usability overall.

flint onyx
bitter turtle
#

reliability at what

#

like i said

#

colu is hardly reliable at long ranges either compared to just bodyshotting on revolver

#

15m is just for headshot reliability

#

u can just do 2 body shots if its a problem

#

and plus

#

like i said

#

4 points into onslaught

#

you may say its not important

#

but 4 points is still 4 points down that tree

junior needle
#

You can struggle to hit 2 bodyshots while fanning if you don't space your shots at about that range

bitter turtle
#

a lot of colu builds dont take keystones just because they need to dip into 3

bitter turtle
#

columnus has to do the exact same thing

junior needle
#

Well the gun doesn't "need" to do it. It's just better value.

bitter turtle
#

unless you're literally spraying at long ranges hoping to hit shit

#

there's areason i swapped off colu myself

terse idol
#

I'll say, I find it hard to believe folks can't just run focus target for 1, since in theory you're running the rending talent and onslaught anywho

junior needle
white minnow
#

i don't run focus target specifically because my teammates benefit from it

bitter turtle
#

you dont need to pace bodyshots at 15m

white minnow
#

that damage belongs to me and me only

flint onyx
#

Column build without keystone sounds interesting, I don't tag enough to justify the middle one and the other two sound too situational loregryn

bitter turtle
#

like

#

i can record it if u dont believe me

hard briar
bitter turtle
#

im fanning into a flamer at 15m repeatedyl bodyshots

#

it is killing him

#

every single time

#

without missing

terse idol
#

Oh is this discussion on Agri revolver?
Cause I thought the damage is pretty bad

timid otter
#

They both suck. Which one is better?

hollow ibex
white minnow
#

i vote grenadier

hard briar
#

I vote grenadier

hollow ibex
terse idol
gusty bison
#

Always leave ur teammates behind

timid otter
white minnow
#

might depend on the grenade you're taking, but i vote for grenadier especially with shredders

soft blade
hard briar
bitter turtle
#

part of me also doesn tunderstand why its such a crime to wait a half a second between shots when you literally already do that on oldvolver anyway tbh

#

for surg

hard briar
#

Why? Because its funny

white minnow
#

you're a sick bastard

bitter turtle
#

if you're going for headshots at 15m i mean

#

like i just finished emptying the entire clipi at 15m with body shots and didnt miss

crisp orchid
#

is sustained fire any good? i don't know whether i should replace it with raking fire or swap a perk to flak

woven tide
#

Grenadier

bitter turtle
#

if u do miss occasionally at this range while fanning its not a regular thing

hard briar
white minnow
#

ainl

junior needle
white minnow
#

get yo facts right

Holy shit

bitter turtle
#

ok

#

let me just take a video

#

idk

#

maybe my agri is just magic???

#

lol

junior needle
#

You can, but it's not relaible

#

Is what I'm trying to say

bitter turtle
#

im going to empty my entire clip

bitter turtle
#

which i already did twice now

junior needle
tall torrent
junior needle
#

Although it is pretty close to the neck there

hard briar
#

Aim at his nuts

tall torrent
junior needle
#

The issue is that multiple shots just fucked off into the void nowhere near the target

timid otter
#

12% damage or 55% mobility?

bitter turtle
#

u are definitely aiming higher than me

#

that is for sure

#

ive dropped 70 bullets without a single miss at this height

bitter turtle
#

or 60 idk i lost count

terse idol
#

Why even have the fan function if it doesn't delete everything in front of you, the issue being why use agri and space out shots when the revolver just does that and is better

#

I seriously hope

#

They make the regular revolver AP focused and the Agri have Hollow point

#

Because, damn

#

Agri got noothing

bitter turtle
#

as i was saying earlier

#

yes

#

oldvolver is better

white minnow
#

and it's still a weakspot weapon in terms of its damage profile

terse idol
bitter turtle
#

and oldvolver is also a piece of shit designed weapon that shits one verything

#

in comparison

white minnow
#

it's not like the brautos which have a high base damage and middling finesse multipliers

terse idol
#

So sad

bitter turtle
#

agri revolver is honestly a perfectly ok and fair version of revolver

tall torrent
#

Wish it had cleave tho

bitter turtle
#

why are we trying to buff it to be the same as oldvolver

white minnow
#

cuz i hate random spread mechanics

bitter turtle
#

when oldvolver and plasma are literally shit designed overpowered trash

white minnow
#

give me something that i can interact with and control instead of RNG

terse idol
#

I don't want to buff it to be the same to be fair, I want it to be able to fit a niche
Maybe focus on dredge ragers and unarmoured, and the oldvolver can focus on AP targets

#

Struggle vs maniac

#

but I dunno if FS even has this frame work thought out

junior needle
bitter turtle
#

if i compare it to v7

terse idol
#

My b my b

bitter turtle
#

which is honestly a good gun

#

i consider it

#

i lose range but gain armor pen

#

both are anti-elite/specialist focused guns

wanton dawn
#

Now that i tried a melee build with plasma: it is just stupidly powerful

bitter turtle
#

but unlike v7 i dont need to throw 120541820 shots into a crusher to kill it

#

but on the other hand i cant snipe at 40m away

#

that's fine

#

that's fair

#

that's a tradeoff

#

unlike oldvolver which is just v7 but with armor pen :^)

bitter turtle
#

like i said

finite imp
#

You still talking about the zarona

gusty bison
#

Oh i know who uses agri volver good now
