#

just had some zealot join my lobby get annoyed at my vet teammate for using a plasma gun and left

#

why

hybrid token
#

ancient greeks be like

tiny summit
#

It's not gay if you top

crude ermine
#

Carried that game

#

What

soft blade
#

tf goin on in vet chat

tiny summit
crude ermine
#

Nevermind, I just connected the pieces

crude ermine
#

Barrel

tiny summit
hearty panther
#

its pretty fuckin boring

rigid nimbus
#

Wait until they find out you can use whatever you want and be successful if you're good enough

hearty panther
#

plasma gun went from redheaded stepchild to shredder autopistol in a single patch

#

if your next words are heat management

rigid nimbus
#

I do think it's fun but only because it's a plasma gun. Just feels powerful to use.

wise fossil
#

oh yeah, high quality 2007 graphics

rigid nimbus
#

...uh no bud

tiny summit
rigid nimbus
#

Heat management is pretty easy

hearty panther
crude ermine
rigid nimbus
#

Damn is that a timesplitters 2 screenshot

wise fossil
#

I've seen the bulwarks that look like they're carrying a car roof for a shield

tiny summit
#

Some on reddit really do think the toughness tickling vent dmg is balancing

rigid nimbus
#

Lol no, you regen it right back.

tiny summit
hearty panther
#

i am of the opinion that left click needs a nerf, right click needs a serious buff, and the hp vent damage should come back

soft blade
hearty panther
#

and get rid of the auto venting when you left click at too high heat

#

fuck you, die

wise fossil
tiny summit
#

Or if they want to have toughness venting...make it enormous that hp dmg is actually possible

rigid nimbus
#

Oof hp vent damage is probably overboard, just nerf it's shot per volley and handling speed.

hearty panther
#

nah

wise fossil
#

I built the thing in early 2017 is all. It's been a while

hearty panther
#

the point is you will probably never vent unless its super critical

sonic marlin
#

first game with Bolter concluded, I ain't using this shit

hearty panther
#

meaning, gasp, actual heat management

soft blade
#

heat management should actually be something you have to consider

rigid nimbus
#

Lol another bolter hater

hearty panther
#

you'll actually want to vent below 37%

#

like you used to have to

sonic marlin
rigid nimbus
hearty panther
#

ye its not made for sniping

#

not without ex stance

wise fossil
hearty panther
#

gotta drop the VoC crutch

crude ermine
#

I can make this damned thing work

tiny summit
#

It's a combination of the ammo econ, survivalist, lmb dmg and penetration vs rmb, and venting. Gun that answers all problems in the games with almost no downsides on a difficulty scaling that adds more enemies that give ammo back

crude ermine
#

It's plasma after all

elder fiber
#

Plasma gun should be lore accurate and just explode randomly b/c its imperium crafted garbage

hearty panther
#

thats why i think going over 37% heat should be an impactful decision

soft blade
hearty panther
#

youre choosing health or downtime to fire more shots off immediately

#

instead of venting under 37% for no damage

rigid nimbus
#

Hmm okay

spice wadi
rigid nimbus
#

I'm seeing the vision

#

Potentially could work

hearty panther
#

and then make the charge shot fucking incredible

#

4x the damage of left click but 30% heat a shot with carapace piercing

sonic marlin
rigid nimbus
#

I mean with the right perks charge shot is already incredible though

wise fossil
tiny summit
hearty panther
#

charge shot is ammo inefficient in the vast majority of use cases

#

thats why its gotta be 4x instead of 3

rigid nimbus
#

I feel like the plasma gun should be ammo inefficient

tiny summit
#

Yea. Charge just lacks an actual use when lmb penetrates just as much

hearty panther
#

put value in it other than '100 mega cleave'

crude ermine
rigid nimbus
#

Check again

crude ermine
#

This was one I used a long while ago

#

I think last time I touched this was November

#

Or October entirely

#

Let me try something

white minnow
#

prob just keep the RMB as is since it's just that it's worse than the LMB isn't it

sonic marlin
#

feels like its just better to use plasma than bolter in every way

tiny summit
#

Rmb could probably stay as it is, and just nerf lmb

white minnow
#

keep the RMB as the railgun and throw in some more heat/ammo/whatever is necessary to balance it

hearty panther
#

depending how you spread the power back out you dont necessarily have to touch lmb

sonic marlin
#

ok im moving on to next weapon, idk if shotgun or revolver

lucid hinge
#

shotguns go hard

#

really fun weapons

tiny summit
#

Be interesting if they made lmb having increasingly ramping heat as you use it in a short amount of time.

crude ermine
#

Oh you've gotta be fucking kidding me

#

How long

#

Did I have this one

tiny summit
#

I want the bleed blessing on my shotgun so I can have fire/bleed

white minnow
#

hmm so something that encourages you to intermittently use it

#

instead of spamming it

#

i guess they sort of have something like that because of how plasma passively vents faster at low heat but that's more of a deliberate thing i suppose

tiny summit
#

Like I think plasmas dmg and power is fine. It should feel good and powerful but damn everything else around it is a bit of a no brainer

white minnow
#

yeah i think it's pretty cool to keep the railgun aspect

#

balancing the ammo/heat would be the way i'd go about it

keen sedge
#

The fire shotgun feels so weak

white minnow
#

the kant is p good

#

infinite cleave special

#

primary is respectable and cleans up specials as needed

tiny summit
elder fiber
#

Make plasma inevitably overheat sooner or later but you can toss it at your enemies before it explodes

crude ermine
#

I wasted so much and I already had one that was sufficient

#

What the fuck

white minnow
elder fiber
#

Yes

white minnow
#

we are cooking

elder fiber
#

Cooking with plasma

sonic marlin
#

whats the best shotgun

hybrid token
#

total war shogun 1 definately

wise fossil
#

okay, gonna give this a shot

white minnow
#

i vote kant shotty just because of its special

#

but i also haven't really used the other shotguns to have a defined opinion on this

light ore
#

agrippina because it goes kuTHUNK

lucid hinge
#

Kant has prob the most useful general special out of the shotguns imo

light ore
#

slug is very competitive

#

opens up bulwarks

#

long range snipes

crude ermine
#

I don't, I don't know what to change specialist to

#

I'm keeping unarmored

light ore
#

funny manstoppers down hallways

lucid hinge
crude ermine
#

Yeah

#

Creature

lucid hinge
#

yeah keep unarmored and just switch spec to like flak or unyeilding

keen sedge
#

Is determined good or no? Like Idk what suppression really does

crude ermine
#

Alrighty ro

crude ermine
#

Then I can just keep the extra slot for the sake of it

white minnow
old quail
#

wtf

spice wadi
#

Wow

white minnow
spice wadi
#

His facist arc has begun

lucid hinge
#

you could change gloryhunter (I think that's what is on the gun) to like gets hot iirc

#

idk I can barely read french

white minnow
#

important on some weapons and irrelevant on some

spice wadi
#

Also drunk

keen sedge
white minnow
#

when being shot at

keen sedge
#

well i use infantry lasgun

#

assume its useless

sonic marlin
#

yikes

#

any shotgun experts

crude ermine
#

Yo what's up

sonic marlin
#

whats the best shogun overall

crude ermine
#

Imo

keen sedge
#

In my opinion, shotgunz arent great but at least they arent recon lasguns

crude ermine
#

Agri

#

But kantreal is also good

#

Agri helps out a lot more for vet especially with the special, whereas kantreal is also good with it not feeling as special for vet even though the fire pellets are very useful

sonic marlin
#

all shotguns have pellets? No slugs?

lucid hinge
#

shotguns are actually pretty good (Unlike recons)

crude ermine
#

Agri's special can be considered a slug

#

Because it can do the exact amount of damage regardless of fall off

sonic marlin
#

feels weak

crude ermine
#

What about it erks you wrong?

sonic marlin
#

the special slug just feels shit

#

i need more opinions

#

seems nobody uses shotguns

rare tartan
lucid hinge
#

not looking in the right places

#

lots of people use shotguns

keen sedge
#

Because shotguns are pretty weak when compared to every other gun that isnt a recon

sonic marlin
#

so far i dislike boltor after 1 mission, plasma feels kinda braindead so i'm trying other boomstick type stuff

crude ermine
#

I have a build that works well with the agri shotgun

#

I think there is one issue with the special for agri

#

Where the bullet comes out can be tricky because you have to aim a lil higher than you should

sonic marlin
agile forge
#

I only use shotguns on my Zealot ATM (and my Ogryn, but they're a special case)

crude ermine
#

Another issue being the hitbox

sonic marlin
#

pretty much want it to kill elites fast

crude ermine
#

On the special can feel weird

agile forge
#

(Their shotguns are basically siege weapons)

wise fossil
#

lol Helbore

#

this is easily the worst gun I've tried in the game

#

and I tried Recon one time

gaunt hinge
#

Sure

light ore
#

also, shotgun spread changes depending on if you're adsing or not

sonic marlin
light ore
#

kantrael is least tight, lawbringer middle, agri most tight

#

no respite is a blessing

#

that causes things to take more damage if they're staggered

#

it dramatically increases the damage of follow up shots

#

so good for elite killing

stone folio
#

god i want more special shotgun shells

crude ermine
#

Not too mention full bore allows you to one shot ragers with the right set up on agri

wise fossil
crude ermine
#

Special

wise fossil
#

they're useable, just not great

crude ermine
#

The special

stone folio
#

me using marksmen focus on agrip shotgun.....

#

i mean...

light ore
#

shotguns are fine, they are weird and require setup to perform well

sonic marlin
#

is agri useful for clearing up hordes or do i need to go for the wider spread ones?

stone folio
#

it one taps everything i need it too using exec stance

light ore
#

kantrael is your anti horde shotgun

wise fossil
light ore
#

agri is a lever action rifle

light ore
stone folio
#

true

light ore
#

rashad is annoying to set up, but it's the strongest melee in the game

#

when set up properly, shotguns are competitive

crude ermine
stone folio
#

did anyone test if the agrip revolver can be fan fired while running if you use Run N Gun?

light ore
#

it's just you can't get a grey one and do fine like with a colomnus

stone folio
#

colomnus is a bad example since i think thats the overtuned one

wise fossil
#

even Graia IAG will outperform any of the shotguns

#

and it doesn't require any kind of weird setup

crude fiber
#

Met a vet that un-ironically had ping set to LMB

gaunt hinge
# sonic marlin the special slug just feels shit

Sluggy can go through thin walls and has very good hipfire accuracy, always load it with a slug, swap weapons often, slide often and when you do slide, optomise and load a slug into it. It opens bulwarks in 1 slug. Its your ez reload bootleg plasma gun.

light ore
#

the weird setup is completely irrelevant to the balance comparison

wise fossil
#

It's not

sonic marlin
#

i basically want a gun that oneshots most if not all elites but can handle hordes decently too

wise fossil
#

and it's odd that you keep saying that

gaunt hinge
#

No gun does that

soft blade
crude ermine
sonic marlin
white minnow
#

kantrael is your closest option then

wise fossil
#

just run Columnus IAG bro

sonic marlin
#

I DO

wise fossil
#

if you want the OP gun that's it

sonic marlin
#

im tired of it

white minnow
#

or brauto

wise fossil
#

Agri Brauto is good too

sonic marlin
#

nah i need my ads

wise fossil
#

you are very picky

sonic marlin
#

so what

lucid hinge
#

I mean

gaunt hinge
#

Then run columnus lmao

light ore
#

"i want to run shotguns, any advice?" "columnus"

lucid hinge
#

if you wanna go classic Ia lasgun is decent

#

press F and just kill

crude fiber
soft blade
#

my advice is to build with more than just your gun in mind if you wanna do everything lmao

frank ether
light ore
#

shotgun specced for horde is manstopper scattershot

soft blade
gaunt hinge
#

Get yourself 9 stamina in curios and deadshot and columnus kills the game

light ore
#

with shotguns you make a tradeoff between different combinations of blessings depending on what you'retrying to do

lucid hinge
#

^ you cant have everything

#

you must take and leave some with shotguns

wise fossil
#

Yeah I guess Lawbringer with the wide special is the crowd clearing gun

light ore
#

so you can make a hybrid elite horde killer shotgun with no respite/manstopper

#

and getting your crits from something else

#

like weapon specialist or deadshot

wise fossil
#

Or just play ogryn tbh

#

use a ripper or a stubber

gaunt hinge
#

Kickback KEKW_ogryn

crude fiber
wise fossil
gaunt hinge
#

Isnt lawbringer straight bootycheeks

wise fossil
#

never pull out your melee

#

you even get a bash for CQC

crude fiber
#

Og shotgun and force sword both faded into irrelevance when the variants were added lol

gaunt hinge
#

Og shotgun was always irrelevant lets be real

lucid hinge
#

kickback is fun but feels....

#

eh

mellow sable
#

Good blessings for mk3 sapper shovel?

icy orchid
#

can you still cheese on overwatch by going off the edge and staying dead?

mellow sable
#

I don't think so?

crude fiber
#

True but it was the only shotgun you could run so if you wanted to use a shotgun you had to use it

wise fossil
sharp ember
lucid hinge
#

on overwatch is take no melee damage

sharp ember
#

oh

crude ermine
sharp ember
#

oops

crude ermine
#

Uncanny is always nice to have

lucid hinge
#

thats Make Every Shot Count

sharp ember
#

yeah i did that one legit too

soft blade
sharp ember
#

when consignment yard was easier and didn't have a boss at the end

soft blade
#

goodbye armor

crude ermine
#

But I like to run thrust and limbsplitter against crushers

crude fiber
mellow sable
#

I have thrust 3 and limbsplitter 3

sharp ember
#

decimator + uncanny strike is my generalist shovel setup

crude fiber
#

That'll work but limbsplitter seems really annoying to use to me

umbral garnet
#

But plasma is a snooze fest.

mellow sable
#

I don't have any of those apparently need to do some grinding

soft blade
#

limbsplitter is good for just going full anti crusher

sonic marlin
umbral garnet
rigid nimbus
#

I mean you have a melee weapon

#

That's what handles hordes

umbral garnet
#

Power Sword!

#

💀

rigid nimbus
#

Shovel!

umbral garnet
rigid nimbus
#

Exactly

umbral garnet
#

MK3 SAPPER

#

ONE SHOT CRUSHER

rigid nimbus
#

A lot of options tbh

umbral garnet
#

RAAAAHHH

rigid nimbus
#

Like a lot of good melee weapons

sonic marlin
#

lawbringer mk6 has a wide shot, that could work for hordes

rigid nimbus
#

....use your melee

sonic marlin
#

im good

soft blade
#

you’d probably be better off with kantrael for hordes but i barely use shotguns so idk

rigid nimbus
#

The 1a is okay at hordes

soft blade
#

although lawbringer flechette is funny

soft blade
rigid nimbus
#

Oh?

soft blade
#

the shotgun

rigid nimbus
#

Just thinking fast firing weapons

#

Lmao

umbral garnet
umbral garnet

Nothing feels better than cleaving off heads in uncomfortable proximity.

rigid nimbus
#

No matter the class you're gonna have to throw hands

lucid hinge
#

make them respect personal space

sonic marlin
#

26 at once, thats fine

rigid nimbus
#

Why do you think psykers get the coolest sword?

trim steppe
#

Anyone wanna take a guess what class I'm on when I find this gorgeous sword in the shop?

soft blade
#

psykers are spoiled!

lucid hinge
#

except for staffs

lucid hinge
#

please fs add more staves

rigid nimbus
#

No matter the ranged weapon you will have to at some pint makebyour own space with your melee

#

No matter what

trim steppe

sonic marlin
rigid nimbus
umbral garnet
#

I know, it's cool and all

#

But it's so uninvolved.

#

It's the plasma of melee.

sonic marlin
#

what do you use

rigid nimbus
#

Shovul

umbral garnet
#

Literally anything else

shell python
#

hey real quick, how the fuck do you do the deadeye penance if executioner's stance doesn't work for it

rigid nimbus
#

Ultimate cc melee weapon

#

For vet anyways

lucid hinge
#

fuck using VoC for its actual purpose use it for the sick ass voicelines

sonic marlin
#

i don't like doing combos that much so i just make my sword light up and light attack

umbral garnet
#

If a mission I really wanna grind out gets on my nerves, I pull out the Pcycler

lucid hinge
sonic marlin
#

sure

rigid nimbus
#

Heavy attacks are where the juice is

lucid hinge
#

consecutive headshots?

#

i think

shell python
#

yeah, 5 weak point kills in volley fire in 5 seconds

#

on highlighted enemies

umbral garnet
lucid hinge
#

exe stance is volly fire

gaunt hinge
#

I thought they fixed those

rigid nimbus
#

But you won't be able to because I'll steal those kills

shell python
#

really? i looked it up and lotta people said exe stance doesn't work for it

sonic marlin
lucid hinge
#

how old were those posts?

shell python
#

maybe three months?

lucid hinge
#

thats why

rigid nimbus
shell python
#

ah, so exe stance works for it now?

lucid hinge
#

try it out in an actual game first

sonic marlin
rigid nimbus
#

Yup

#

Plenty

lucid hinge
#

because that was when exe stance (upgraded volley) came out so it was buggy

shell python
#

ahhhhhhhh, gotcha

#

only recently got darktide so i wasnt sure when this big update was and how much it fixed the game

rigid nimbus
#

I have a lot of playtime on vet

shell python
#

thanks!

lucid hinge
#

no probs

sonic marlin
#

that sounds suspicious

#

i bet you don't even have a vet character

rigid nimbus
#

Well you're wrong

umbral garnet
#

I have played Vet exclusively for almost 270 hours

rigid nimbus
#

Lmao

umbral garnet
#

So I have shot plenty a crusher in my time.

rigid nimbus
#

Me and MZM twinning

umbral garnet
#

Sure, shooting a Crusher to fucking smithereens with an IA or Helbore feels great

soft blade
umbral garnet
#

But one shotting a crusher with a shovel is better than sex

crude ermine
#

Jesus Christ this weapon is stupid

soft blade
#

there’s a reason a lot of people run melee focused builds on vet

#

i mean just look at knife vet lol

crude ermine
#

Why even use the heavy charge on anything but high health fucks when I can just press a button and cleave just as much as without the need of waiting

rigid nimbus
#

I mean I run a utility build

soft blade
#

plasma builds usually run more melee centric

sonic marlin
soft blade
#

same with revolver

rigid nimbus
#

Why do you dislike combos though?

#

Like what about them?

sonic marlin
#

having to time shit

soft blade
umbral garnet
#

I just spam light in horde and hope for the best

rigid nimbus
soft blade
lucid hinge
#

i mean if you are running chord or psword its the best way to really use those weapons in hordes

soft blade
#

(again knife)

stone folio
#

KEKW_ogryn the devil claw mk7 is one of those weapons you really need to put effort into the combo

umbral garnet
sonic marlin
#

other than modifiers this isn't so bad right

rigid nimbus
#

The weapons you do have to put into effort do reward you though

lucid hinge
#

I mean those blessings are great and stats are a little mid but thats due to rating

#

just switch perks and you have a decent shotgun

sonic marlin
#

which modifiers are important on it

#

also both blessings can go to 4 right?

lucid hinge
#

yeah both of those can go to 4

sonic marlin
#

ugh

soft blade
lucid hinge
#

i mean lvl 3 is better than nothing

rigid nimbus
#

Are you ever happy? Lmao

sonic marlin
#

I like maxing shit

sonic marlin
#

guess ill stick with this

#

yeah chsword lights are funny

rigid nimbus

I'm beginning to understand

sonic marlin

thats a columnus

Well

How can I tell

Fucking modded to fuck

sonic marlin
#

yeah

#

its mk69

rigid nimbus
#

Columnus good

stone folio
#

........LMG for vet when

rigid nimbus
#

If a bit OP

soft blade
#

i was so confused seeing that ammo on a plasma for a sec

#

then i saw the blessings and was like oh

stone folio
#

either buff the other weapons to the lvl of columnus... or nerf the columnus abit

soft blade
#

nerf columnus

rigid nimbus
#

Just make the ammo economy a lil worse on it and its in line

sonic marlin
#

sexy huh

rigid nimbus
#

Atm far too easy to keep your ammo up

stone folio
#

ill just say the ammo block doesnt look that pretty when its floating

#

but it looks good

rigid nimbus
#

Maybe less damage too actually

#

It melts things too easy

i know this is a psyker thing but psyker chat is a litttle slow if you catch my drift lol. you can get up to 80% movement speed buff on psyker with these 4 perks + rev it up on chainsword. you could even the speed boost on ogryn ability on there too

someone said it increases fire rate

doubt its good enough to beat gloryhunter or blaze away

slow spade
#

not that it helps anyways

muted knot

But not massively

frank ether
#

columnus is fine

#

It could get a little nerf and it would still be fine

#

but its not gonna make the guns you don't like suddenly attractive

rigid nimbus

Well you're entitled to your opinion

frank ether

I'm telling people agriag is fantastic and they refuse to use it

rigid nimbus
#

That's their problem

#

agri iag is awesome

frank ether

Its fantastic, right now

you don't need a columnus nerf to enjoy it

rigid nimbus
#

Your hot take is like

frank basin
#

Did fs drop the patch?

rigid nimbus
#

Cmon

sonic marlin
#

tbh columnus needs an alt fire that fires a single shot with 50x the standard dmg

frank ether
#

it scales great and is effective at ranges columnus becomes peashooter

sonic marlin
#

call it the bee sting

rigid nimbus
#

Columnus is busted cmon

i think a nerf is warranted for columnus but yeah that alone isn’t gonna significantly shake up the meta by any means

Just aim harder bro

frank ether
#

I mean there are talents that counteract it

soft blade
#

just extend your arms further to reduce the falloff

#

simple as

sonic marlin
#

you really think the dmg fall off is that bad? I never had issues at any range with it

frank ether
#

I didn't say its that bad

soft blade
#

bad enough for it to be considered

frank ether

I said other weapons start to get better

You're not competing with agriag or headhunters at range

you need hand cannon and surgical for revolver

Why else are you using mk14 revolver

frank ether

lol

placid portal

Crucian if you like Spam surgical makes it slower but tbh if you use Surgical on Agripinaa Volvo you should use zarona instead

frank ether
#

The idea of agri revolver is to quickdraw and magdump

placid portal

Deadshot + Crucian

it has a high rof, it has a speedloader, it has 100 rounds

Mad Unyielding damage as well apparently

#

Ye

tall torrent
civic knot
#

thats like extra damage on every crit

frank basin
#

Against armor enemies

tall torrent
#

It’s mainly because rending alleviates dmg falloff (against flak, maniac, carapace & unyielding)

#

And mk14 revolver has disastrous dmg falloff

civic knot
frank basin

How far mk14 maximum damage can reach?

is it a good laspistal?

It starts dropoff at 12.5?

Is it good on zealot

frank ether

easier to work with than veteran

frank basin
frank ether

since you get %75 spread reduction and bonus finesse on dodge rolls

so your playstyle is dodge a hit and then magdump

Agri feels a lot better on zealot than vet

But still

umbral scaffold
#

there's some fun builds around 3th skill tree's colums (cloak)?

frank ether
#

braced weapons in general lack skill ceiling

and vet has no interactions except executioner

Why that’s?

frank ether

but be honest you're not gonna run exec revolver

nobody does that

if the upcoming lmgs are also balanced like this

they will suck

It's the Spray and Pray.

frank basin

Ik

lmgs need to be heavy as hell and need setup or reload

For columnus its flak and maniac, dumdum and what? Fire frenzy or deathspitter? Does the same apply for agri?

frank basin
sharp ember
#

imagine they added equip time to plasma

frank ether
#

vet needs some kind of talent interaction with braced weaponry

sharp ember
#

they'll say it's as bad as helbore

even on zealot with %75 spread reduction brautos and agri revolver still considered niche guns

if exec was a different design honestly I'd agree

umbral garnet
tall torrent

If exe was half as good as SG
Actually no that still wouldn’t benefit braced autoguns much cuz low finesse

solar sky
#

Not saying this is you, but a lot of people are just so used to having a panic button that they don't know how to play without it. Executioners stance is super strong, you just have to know how to keep your self safe in melee.

frank ether
#

I mean other part of the coin here is

sonic marlin
#

honestly where is Deadshot good?

frank ether
#

braced weapons usually considered more for right side builds

#

melee vet mainly

umbral garnet
sonic marlin

agri iag?

#

im planning on building it

frank basin
#

The blessing of brauto just wack and meh

sharp ember
#

i always take deadshot with shotguns because of crit-based blessings

umbral garnet
sonic marlin
#

whats the point of brautos

#

its just upgraded hip fire

sharp ember
#

cleaving crit slugs are pseudo-plasma shot

sonic marlin
#

why not just go for ADS guns

umbral garnet
#

Bayonet charge into a horde and use that damn Helbore

frank ether
#

if you can aim there is little point in braced guns

#

which is how it should be because braced guns are just easy

frank basin
#

Graia feature fast fire rate on braced is funny weird

frank ether
#

Its pretty accurate on zealot

sharp ember
#

doesn't help that IAG come with dumdum to increase their damage even more

frank ether
#

and you get armor pen on fury of the faithful

tiny summit
#

Zealot turning braced into laser pointers

frank ether
#

its veteran that doesnt have any good interactions with it

placid portal
#

For a ranged weapon class they dont have any special interaction with their weapons other than reload and damage

umbral garnet
#

The whole design philosophy behind Vets is The Distance Guy so braced not being great is kinda just how it is.

timid otter
#

Braced does have the advantage of its absurd cleave.

soft blade
#

i like brauto with a knife

frank basin
#

Do you guy wish brauto should have heating mechanic?

sharp ember
#

that's only the agri, which is equally cleaving with the IAG version

placid portal
#

And agripinaa braced is hella beautiful

soft blade
#

other than that eh

tiny summit
#

Agri brauto shooting through ogryn teammates is nice

timid otter
#

Its actually one of the better guns at dealing with hordes in the game.

tall torrent
frank ether
#

but like

timid otter
#

Though admitely that doesnt come into play to often

#

the more interesting thing is that it can shoot specials behind hordes.

frank ether
#

both agriag and agri HH will murk stuff in one-two shots

Yes

despite the ugly recoil

I imagine its because by being so damn unpopular it avoided the P13 nerfs that vraks3 got

i simply enjoy having 999 ammo pool with graia brauto

everybody's getting covered in lead

frank basin
#

Indeed

frank ether
tiny summit
sharp ember
#

when you brace

frank ether
#

try it on zealot though

#

I'm serious

sharp ember
#

you use 2 fingers to pull the trigger

#

2 fingers = more bullet shoot

frank basin
frank ether

it shreds crushers instantly if you use fury of the faithful

Has red trigga to shoot fasta

tiny summit
#

Colum brauto feels...like nothing special

frank ether
#

yeah its the weird middle brother

sharp ember
#

from my runs, columnus is when you want to use Onslaught rending, but want better stagger than graia

frank ether
#

I mean to be fair all brautos are a bit weird

#

they're just weird guns

sharp ember
#

because graia can't stagger ragers for shit

tall torrent
sharp ember
#

but columnus will

tall torrent
#

Does Graia braced auto do good boss dps as well?

frank ether

I wish they had like recoil patterns or something instead of cones

Opening Salvo working on every burst of the burst fire HHs is nice. But it also has Head Hunter and Deadly Accurate blessings

frank basin
#

More cats

sharp ember
frank ether
#

tbh I feel like deadly accurate does more harm than help the HHs

#

because they are balanced around that now

#

v3 even got nerfed over it

tall torrent
#

V3 is literally unplayable without DA+HH

sharp ember
#

boltgun is probably faster, but brauto is gonna come out of it with way more ammo remaining

frank ether
tall torrent
#

However V3 with DA+HH and non-shit perk rolls is unironically one of the highest dps guns u can have for veteran

sharp ember
#

i have fun dumping whole magazines into beasts of nurgle

sharp ember
#

when you brace and put a whole mag into a BoN's back OmegaGuardsmanHype

frank basin
#

That’s what I do

frank ether
#

wouldn't agri HH be higher

#

since it still has unnerfed finesse

frank basin
#

Braced Graia on back BoN weakspot does good damage

frank ether
#

is it a firerate difference maybe

tall torrent
frank ether
#

well I do run it with exe yea

tall torrent
#

And v3 gets to stack headhunter more effectively since it’s 3r burst

frank ether
#

not so much for recoil

#

but I want to hit higher bps

#

murk things with the first shot of the burst

crisp abyss
#

hey is +8% melee damage(elites) or +8% melee weak spot damage better?

frank basin

Elite

tiny summit

Elite. Weakspot and crit dmg perks are dogshit

got it

guess im keeping the +8% elite then

frank basin
#

Everyone wanted flak maniac

crisp abyss
#

yea but cant have both

frank basin
#

If fs remove locked upgrade everyone would go flaniac

muted knot
#

Weak spot damage is such a joke man, it's not the full damage your shit to the weakspot does +8%

tiny summit
#

Fatshark with arbitrary restrictions because they know their perk/blessing balance is kinda shit

muted knot
#

It's +8% extra damage for the difference of your body shot damage and full damage with a weakspot hit

muted knot
frank basin
#

Fs wouldn’t want us play like that

muted knot
#

If other perks were worthwhile

frank basin
#

Yeah

#

Least they should buff it

muted knot
#

But lmao

#

+8% weakspot damage

tiny summit
#

It's due to the enemy cast makeup. If enemies of the same type had a chance of varying armor, it would make other dmg types look better.

Bro imagine carapace helmeted gunners

it shoots fast

almost as fast as MG 12 kant ye?

fast enough to the point I manually slow my pace on Mk II to get more crits

tiny summit

Yea but you'll have nerds going "but dps!".

frank ether

Its so much better its hilarious

tiny summit

Like yea it has more dps but also the charge bonus is negligent in actually having to line up headshots

The one reason imo it will always trump MG 12 is the fact you can murder crushers
