Well
We have. But just because they are playtesters, doesn't mean they are actually are correct
And don't TAKE it wrong, I am not insulting them
As far as we know
but I have NO REASON to believe them
tbf i think they were referring to a different version than the one we got
so bolter still bad?
since crab did remark that this version was not the one he thought we would get

I’d prob run smth like this
was it eve good?
Yeah
Though tbf, he was blindsided I think about the critstring nerf
yes it was one till it got nerfed lol
Like, Fatshark did a change that WASN'T playstested
Because THEY ARE FUCKING GENIUSES
i like wep specialist v3 to go any other tree lul
Bolter hasn't been touched, so it's still mediocre
it's good but it's more of a DMR/crit weapon now
Bolter isn't top tier
but is not bad
Calvade pinning firing boltgun
too late
he's forever a liar in my book
😔
what does calvade do? I have not played in a while lol
You can definitely make the bolt gun work though

Each 10% round spent increase crits chances max stack to 5
Build up crit chance as u continuously fire
hmm so not pinning fire and armor pen anymore
if only the bolter had the funny amounts of damage as the plasma
I personally go Surgical + Pinning Fire on the bolter
you are going to stagger on hits + Surgical makes shots count
going to reinstall dark tide lol, i heard they nerfed my baby and go sad so i uninstalled lol
thank you everyone
kinda ok on laspistol?
i just realized
i cant hit OS bp on shotgunners
without it
For mk10 I think it’s not bad
im using 2
For mk2 I honestly just treat it as a dps machine more than anything
I am thinking of actually uninstalling rn
in that case
isnt it not a bad idea for spamming down dreg gunners too then 🤔
maybe im just coping
so would my way work with voc and the weapon specialist path for mk6 psword?
so i dont have to make a new one
Yea u can role play as a retired csgo pro and just hipfire click every gunner in existence
bruh
It just works
You
lul
Gotta learn
Not the meta
I'm sorry
This meta discussion is getting to the worst bits
uh
mm i don't think so
yes, it's good
dont use that tree for ciag/psword lol
oh
that's for v3/rashad
yes
Btw if u haven’t tried, I think CS4 + V7 is not a bad combo
if you want to try wep specialist psword
there's the tree i'd use
CS4 gives u the unyielding dmg u said u lacked with shovel + V7
And it’s not bad for horde clear compared to a shovel
man
ofc melk only gave me the 13 in shop
lul
i tried it a bit but i really dont like the 13 at least

I need recon to go back to Hipfiring snipers
CS4 I run rampage + bloodletter
Bloodletter gives u great flexibility with rev atks
U can 1 rev heavy (bodyshot) a mauler
U can 1 rev light (HS) both ragers
U can 2 rev heavy (HS) crushers
And 1 rev light (HS) bulwarks & reapers
Bloodletter IV 14 stacks of bleed can do some very serious work against most enemies
On top of chainsword naturally having high unyielding dmg for the role play aspect
U just don’t horde clear as braindead as rampage + wrath/SS
Literally half of the discussion we had earlier was the bolter being "good" before the patch
its a melee weapon
Sit yo ass down
I might try SS + bloodletter
of course you miss sometime 😔
drink a cold glass of water
unbelievable
Felt like rampage didn’t really improve the weapon against bruisers
U just need +flak perk
I AM A GUARD AND IM DIGGIN A HOOOOLE
DIGGY DIIIGY HOOLE
IM DIIIGIN A HOOLE
I LUV ME SHOVEL
Call it Mandrew
It’s very lenient on the mauler 1 rev heavy bodyshot
I think this chainsword I didn’t even have +flak
if only i could name my builds 😢
Tag it
lol
Lemme record another
nah i get you
i tested with the 13 i have anyway
it only took a few ticks
so i get what you mean
its flexible
the bloodletter just fills in the dmg ur missing
Also being able to 1 rev light bulwark is very useful
U just hit them and forget abt them
time to farm bloodletter 4

i wanted to make chainsword work anyway
but i just didnt understand anything gud about it
this osunds fun tho
I went from Rashad -> DC7 -> CS4 back to Rashad
i tried dclaw
didnt like it much
like yeah its kinda good at hordes
but man
i like my melee be able to kill armor
lul
DC’s flak dmg is miserable
Lemme send the new recording
I have 67% shredder
Didn’t even take 10% melee dmg
ye
trying it with the 13 it actually seemed like its the seccret sauce
the rev attack seemed so bad to me before
didnt kill anything
U can fight ragers a lot better with bloodletter
it's pretty alright if you build for EXE, Focus target for like
Special killing
Boss deleting
Hold block against their combo
Rev, push atk, wait a few ticks, go back to block
very useful on "Specialists sometime spawns as monstrocities"
They’ll die from bleed
U don’t even need to go full Rev ticks
In case there’s multiple ragers on u
Bloodletter doesn’t give u 1 rev light vs mutant tho
The shredder stat basically only matters against crushers
That’s when bloodletter doesn’t really carry u over breakpoints
What to change? Keep rampage and run that along with shred?
when patch
Whenever they need to fix some more clipping cosmetics
so never, gotcha
how much does 170 cleave increase your weapon's damage to subsequent targets?
Cleave damage is a separate stat to cleave (hitting multiple targets)
Sometimes the cleave target stat on weapons will adjust both, but the cleave stat on blessings seems to just to affect your ability to hit multiple targets
I will test it now though
I’m happy my main gun is now max god roll
Gonfirmed
God roll
elite
special
falter
try it out then
Why would I want to try out lower value perks and a blessing that not only gives you no damage but also makes it harder to hit subsequent headshots?
you saying that yet i tested it its good enough damage stacking with perks
so idk what youre on bud
but ok
wanna say onsluaght is best with surgical but getting only 20 percent per hit isnt best
when i can get 40 percent
and saying it charges slow isnt the case Xd
You can use no respite instead of falter, it won't gimp you at the very least 
i tried it and yeah tbh
not the best combo in terms of pure damage crits just does it so much better
its great with bayonett though
that kinda combo
but when are you using bayonet as a primary

No no, no respite instead of falter
Not no respite with falter
That's the typical "I want to maximize surgical" blessing
How important is cleave targets on a DC4 assuming i'm really just using it to hordeclear?
You can use this website to see cleave values (doesn't work with power alterations currently): https://dt.wartide.net/calc/
Darktide calculator for damage breakpoints against enemies. Developed by ManShanko.
use no respite for bayonet
and yes
i use bayonet as primary lul
helbore is actually just a bayonet with a bonus gun attached
Swap ds for dumdum and sprint efficiency to flak
the spear part is stronger 
no respite makes it easy to 2 shot rager with bayonet stab
dumdum is bugged to be much better than it seems
Yes, that's the most value
is dumdum bugged?
It functions like anoint in blood
instead of what the description actually states
Literally like anoint in blood
exactly the same mechanically apart from the stacking
huh neat
ya so you still get a damage boost beyond 8m
So it's active up to 25m
it just drops over distance
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/enemies Also this for hit mass values. It's decently helpful for hitting more targets and I think you can reach 4 bruisers with the horizontal heavy with rampage (it apparently gives power now)
at least just testing with loadout config, that just seems to be how close damage is implemented
testing with fire frenzy and the rightmost +close damage on ult talent node
unless it's just that those blessings and the talent are uniquely fucked compared to whatever other sources of close damage exist
just seems like how .damage_near or close_damage_buff be unless there's something that should be overriding those values
Doesn't it just
Give you the buff
But unless you're close
You don't get the damage
exactly what it does
you can stack dmg on range
but dmg benefit is when you are close
No, to both of you. Unless its been patched very recently, the damage bonus is effective up to 25m instead of 7m
Just tapering off, exactly like anoint in blood
that just seems to be how close damage is implemented though
in general
rather than being specific to dumdum
if dumdum is bugged, then fire frenzy and the +close damage on ult talent node are also bugged
Ff works the same at all ranges
Despite being close damage
And the close damage on ult, let me check
Last I checked it just didn't apply past the distance
7m
what is best power sword? 3 or 6?
6
i stood at a distance >8m and compared 5 stacks of t4 dumdum with 3 stacks of t4 fire frenzy (both nominally giving +30% close damage) and dealt the same amount of damage
randomly decided to roll and powersword and got that
nice sword but imo if you're going to get a ps, you might as well get a 6
then, I stood at a distance >8 and compared 3 stacks of t2 dumdum with the +close damage on ult node (both nominally giving +15% close damage) and dealt the same amount of damage
so... take ps 4
yeah take the pc4 off
kk
Huh, looks like the ult got changed to be that too
I tested it awhile back and it just didn't work outside of that range
ohh
what is the other good blessing for powersoerd
recent change then huh
brutal momentum or sunder
Bromentum or sunder
shit really??? i already go sunderer
Yes
brumo for more damage and sunder if you want some more CC
or slaugthere
Passable but worse
im running it with a ciag
Bromentum better for hordes
rampage/slaughterer are p much just out-competed by brutal momentum
sunder ig
Remind me: What stats do you look for when making a good mk4 cadian assault chainsword? Damage and shredder, then i forget if Finess or Penetration is more important.
damage, finesse. penetration are important
shredder lesser so
you can dump mobility or shredder but preferably mobility
shredder only affects rev attack
ah, I thought it also applied to the heavy attacks, since you can hear the rev sound when you do a heavy
no
also the numbercatperson shared with me the secret sauce today
put bloodletter on it
so you can oneshot mauler/bulwark and 2shot crushers
with rev
I was already aware of this...
ok
fine
i guess im just out of the loop
fuck you too
😔
here I was putting rampage wrath/ss on it like a chump
I am basically attempting to upgrade this thing. hence why i was asking about the important stats again
I originally got it as a blue mission reward and consecrated it a few times before swapping out the stamina perk for flak and bloodletter 1 for bloodletter 4
Rev-it-up is a fun blessing, but it's not the best when you're weapon's mobility stat is so low
Brunt you karking BASTARD i was so exited when i saw the 3 80% stats before i looked at what they were attatched to.
Ah, the assault chain massager
This one is almost promising... but that ripper stat seems a bit too low for me.
well if you just want to spam left click its good
I get that, but... if i just wanted to spam left-click i would just use this.
So what are key talents to use when using the Zarona Revolver?
weapon spec keystone
Huh. This worth it if I went Supercharge to BM and groaners/pox to Carapace? I know there was a breakpoint out there specifically for Crusher two-shot combos.
The +1 power cycler is irritating, but if the goal is to 2-shot the crusher anyway...
The stats are alright, those perks and supercharge are uh
bad
If you don't have anything else then it can be worth the pickup though
Fishing for cycler 4 can take quite awhile
nothing makes me more depressed then watching the other veteran rush ahead on Malestrom while im down and force me to respawn like double the distance away from everyone else
I think it's a great direction, the damage cutting off at 7m~ would be an extremely dumb design decision.
ikr
I actually have Cycler IV already! I'm just looking to build the super-Mk-VI that can specifically do the crusher two-shot super easily.
make everything anoint
You'll lose qol for other things from not having the 3 strikes, just consider if its worth it for you
The first-target stat is a bit low for my liking...
For veteran, The agripinaa is definitely the best shotgun.
cycler 4 got a lot easier to find after the skill tree update. It used to be absolutely egregious though. I remember someone on here having 400+ hours in this game and still didnt have Power cycler 4
Technically it became much easier to find after the crafting update, don't think anything changed on the talent patch specifically.
Although I still, albeit rarely, see people complaining on here about how many pswords they roll only to not find it
Got a decent shovel roll, gonna switch out All or Nothing, what perk should I take? please @ me
limbsplitter or decimator
Yep gonna put on Decimator, what perk?
I was heavily considering it, just wanted a second opinion. Thank you!!
no problem :)
yeah i'd say replace groaners with maniac
If you can, get aim to roll for an Mk VII instead some day, if you can to replace it. The ability to one-shot crushers, mutants, etc. is pretty OP, and you keep the sweep heavies for hordes. That one takes Thrust and ideally something like Skullcrusher if you're fighting mixed hordes.
11th time today where the chainsword would be perfect if 2 stats were swapped... brunt is teasing me.
And I am out of dockets to spin the brunt lottery...
how's decimator feel on the 7? and what are your perk picks
yeah the number of weapons I've seen where I wish I could just swap 2 stats.... beyond count at this point
ty for the advice!
Decimator instead of Skullcrusher can absolutely work. it's just about applying a debuff vs another flat increase.
You need Thrust, though.
I rolled this beast a while ago and haven't gotten around to taking it for a test drive yet
Imagine if fat-shark added an NPC that let us 're-tool' a weapon by swapping stat-values arround for diamantine... and it didnt cost a modification slot
because i got diamantine for Days
I have shared the same dream lol. Maybe one day when they are done squeezing this stone
Perk picks I'd want Flak + Maniac for the purpose of making your single-thrust-charge attack kill a rager without having to come back up (fast special instead of slow), but I have Flak + weakpoint.
I feel you brother 
diamonds
Yours is very, very close to perfect, honestly. Decimator will make you that much crazer on the "faster heavy specials" breakpoints.
The goal is for the initial tap to kill, rather than needing the in + out.
does the carapace roll help meet any breakpoints or should I just roll it to Flakiac?
If you had Decimator stacked, you miiiiiight get a faster-heavy-breakpoint against a Mauler? You'll be guaranteed to in-and-out a Crusher with it even without Decimator stacked.
I'm just trying to replace this semi-scuffed thing with a better one
There's a lot going for your current perks, but I'd prooooobably swap Elites to Flak if it were me and test it a bit before dropping Carapace.
Thanks for the input, that's probably what I'll do
It's possible that the "best" play is Elites 10% + Flak 25%
I do wish the elites damage mattered more, it ends up being a dead perk on almost every weapon
You might be able to decrease the thrust charge time you need to one-shot a lot of mobs with Elites.
Like, you can fast-heavy-special a Rager with 3 charges of thrust (and no maniac and no elites). Maybe with elites and decimator it's 1 or 2 charges instead.
That's a LOT less swing time to kill.
plasma hits a gunner BP with elites; surge hits a shotgunner BP with flak+elites and GG hits a mutant BP with maniac+specialist
But like... not to play this down ,I think your shovel is the best roll I've ever seen @trim steppe. We're just quibbling about what'll make it kill a few mobs a little faster, when it's basically capable of universal one-shot-charged-heavy-specials on every mob in the game.
Hah thanks, I was shocked to see it roll like that. And since it's basically perfect I don't want to lock in dumb reroll lol
Elite is optimal on volver
is this good enough and what blessing and perk should i change to?
shattering to gets hot
how a bout glory hunter and flak armor?
I like gloryhunter on plasma personally, others might suggest changing it to blaze away
Yeah shattering to gets hot at the least
Shattering has gotta go either way
+elites is actually not bad on plasma
If you are shooting something with a plasma, it doesn't need armour stripping
But what perks it wants is very dependant on your tree and rolls
You're gonna kill it either way
Yep, and here's a pic to support that.
Almost everything is positive at every range
in that case flak to carapace because its weakest against it?
it really depends. the plasma gets really close to a lot of breakpoints depending on your build and its damage stat. you take the perks you need to hit hte breakpoints you want
So your main focus should be getting one shot headshots on various maniacs and gunners
Except the mutie, don't really need to concern yourself with that one
one shot on lights I should add
Shattering -> gets hot
Flak upgrade to 25%
If you can
Download the load out mod and test what perk will meaningfully reduce the number of shots it takes to kill something
If too lazy I agree with flak
Flak gives best consistency
I do like flak on plasma
Maniac needs lots of talent investments for meaningful breakpoints
Carapace only really helps vs crushers
Unyielding doesn’t have meaningful breakpoints but u have better dps
Elite is priority, basically always take
does plasma still have ~the issue~
Visual bug? Yea
hmm okay. Should i remain weapon specialist or go middle tree with plasma?
Personally I like wep specialist
But both are valid
i like the middle, just giving your team a flat 12% damage permanently is kinda cracked
I'd unironically recommend born leader over for the empruh
Actually decent with ck stacked together
Gloryhunter + CK with born leader basically gives 40 toughness to all 3 teammates with 3 shotgunner 1 shot kills
It is excellent
Just never take born leader with any other gun 
The emperor is trying to tell us smth by making the “one shot everything” playstyle work best for medic vet
Eh, a good portion of it is trickle from CK
It's alright
Kinda
sounds fun
Worth noting that in general, it is not "very good" by any measure
howa about covering fire?
But gets more value from glory hunter
or is 5 meter too little
and the naturally riduculous state of plasma
Not great
oh right thats true
Unless you spray into crowds surrounding your meleeing teammates
Not a lot of value
the 4 vet born leader covering fire meta will reign supreme one day
Clearly they need to make covering fire give yellow toughness at 100% UwU
Bad
If only covering fire didn't last like 5 seconds
If only covering fire applied to yourself and worked on melee kills!
I swear it would be balans
No lie
absolutely
Covering fire giving some yellow toughness wouldn't be a bad idea actually
now here's the million dollar question
Give psyker a way to generate it pls
if you shoot a burster near a teammate
At least you'd be able to tell whether or not it's actually being useful
Yes
Pop like 20 of it on dome expiry or something
so true
the meta of covering fire vet shooting bursters near their teammates
How many shots can I miss for the On Target Penance with a shotgun?
Awesome.
At least you won't miss easily
Slug only challenge
Would help if my teammates don't instantly mow down whatever Im trying to jam my shotgun barrel into.
The obvious solution is to kill your teammates
TRUE
Do I need Onslaught for Revolver? It seems pointless since it's single fire
Just trying to adjust my build
No
Onslaught on revolver sounds like a terrible idea
Yeah I thought so to. I might drop it and get weapon specialist as someone here recommended
Rending over the 100 armor modifier is reduced by 1/4
So unless you don't run handcannon
More rending is probably not worthwhile
and only getting 1 stack of brittleness (2.5% rending) onto a target per shot
(beginning on the 2nd consecutive hit to a target because of the repeated hit condition)
Even on something like the mg4 las, it's hard to justify onslaught
onslaught is only for recons and maybe autoguns if you just really hate having carapace dmg on your melee
Sadly Onslaught has the problem that Weapon Specialist is pretty meh for the full auto guns
should i rip pc4 from the left and put it on the right
I would
depends on if the one on left hits the 1 hit shotgunners in 1hit if you change flak to elites
And replace Infested damage with something like maniac (fuck ragers and mutants)
Missing 5% weakspot damage from brutal momentum will (hopefully) not matter in the long run
thats like 2 damage
Hadron specifically bricking your psword to be 1 damage off lethal UwU
it all comes down to whether the one on the left already hits the BP's or not. Bc the only real upside of the one on the right is the extra mobility which can be pretty big
Hadron paid off Melk
one shot on a light swing?
Weiiiird
I have provided proofs, you misinformation spreaders
Taken just now
Hold on hold on, I swear I heard it from Mr craime 🥹
Also god damn, you had to hit me with the groovy music
Oh yeah, I had something playing in the background 

that music was well-timed lol
Yeah I thought that was on purpose 
NOPE
Both are decent but the second one is probably better, cycler 3 to 4 and infested to carapace and that might bring you to crusher two shot bp
Would you ever keep unyielding?
Definitely
I was thinking the left was better but I would yest both
Left is fine too but the mobility roll you're gonna feel
You might even lose a Dodge
If you want to use the one on the left I'd do unyield carapace

What’s the difference between VI and IV Catachan swords (or whatever the hell the numbers are)
moveset
IV is generally considered the best option
VII (7) and IV (4)

which blessing i should change and change to ?
One message removed from a suspended account.
Power Swords feel much better if you have the, Power Cycler, blessing. Gives extra energized hits. Starts at tier 3 blessing level
i have cycler 4
Lmao I just rolled a Mark VI Power Sword with Cycler 2 and Brutal Momentum, just deciding which perks go for.
swap supercharge into cycler
What are the good plasma gun blessings?
Gets hot, Blaze it, Glory Hunter

Infernus blessing on Hellbore lasguns. Worth investing or naw?
you had me there
the one guy with his invis on cooldown
what about sustained fire?
Nope
welp shit
Precision fire
why the fuck doesnt helbore has the critical hit like the normal lasguns
that shit seems more fitting. the fuck darktide
weird as shit still
Graia brauto beloved
What’s distance for “long shot” talent take effect?
Just started trying auto Columbus Infantry. It's fun so far. Crazy that close range is within 20 meters
don't hate on agri HH 😦
I think it pops up when it activates
On the bottom left
Hmmmm
I don't want to say 6m but my brain feels that's it, or a lil shorter
I hate forced burst fire guns in every game other than dirty bomb
Is 7 meter i tested for close range
Only it got them right
Yeah I may or may not suck at distance calculations
I’ll take look at it
Never was that good at that kinda math when I tried to be an engineer
8m
Rest in pepperoni fletcher gameplay
Alright
It then grows until 30m where it stops
Do grenade kills count as ranged kills for Melk contracts?
worth using on my Graia brauto then
They should
Close range is technically 7m~, as that's the distance to activate various things like ff and ds. However "close range damage" now functions like anoint in blood in at least 2 instances (dumdum and the vet ult talent).
Word. Dumdum and Fire Frenzy is what I have rolled on my Columnus Auto. Fun times
I've been seeing a lot more people running the Revolver lately
The Zarona virus is spreading
Is Weapons specialist good when used with the Zarona?
Yes, although you adjust the build a bit
It's very good
The adjustment is taking crucian instead of surgical and the reload talent, so you get the full benefit of crucian on every shot
What type of adjustments?
which reload talent? fully loaded? or volley adept?
You don't really want to run too much reload on wep spec
Cause reloading resets your crucian
Only this one
Its attached to ws
Go down to zero, kill something in melee, go to range and get 1 boolet, kill something, repeat
Not sure if you even need deadshot between ws and crucian and the natural revolver crit
what are those purple looking things at the bottom?
Nodes for keystones
so this is the build I have so far, any suggestions to make it optimal?
You may not need rending strikes if you have handcannon
You can shift that point to precision strikes or the suppression talent, which will help you actually hit gunners when being suppressed
Don't recommend taking both the revive and overshield for voc
Overshield alone is extremely strong, and maximizing uptime on it will keep your team from going down in the first place
i'm not a fan of skirmisher
i'd path through trench fighter instead
Yeah trench feels great for melee, much more than you'd expect from a 10% difference
Yeah that's what I ended up doing, skirmisher didn't really seem like that great of a talent in practicality
I got lucky and was able to find a Zarona in the Melk shop with Crucian IV on it so I farmed it off of it
mission drops go crazy i guess
Kinda scuffed tbh
flak maniac as always i assume
Yeah
I'd recommend dumdum over one of the blessings and then replace a perk for flak for maximum performance
gosh daarn your game is very saturated
i've done it bros
I assume it's flux for eye strain
I used it before
do i need multiple sniper resists to not eat shit the moment i fumble a dodge or should one still be fine as long as i have some toughness damage resist going on
Not sure if you can even get enough res/toughness to tank sniper shots anymore on vet
But overshield can actually tank it
Because yellow toughness is just that gud
Also snipers have the unique attribute of doing full damage to your health if any of the initial damage penetrates your toughness
So you have to tank the whole hit to avoid health damage
worth buying a chainsword from melk just to rip t4 bloodthirsty or nah
oh thats fun
Ehhhh
I personally run 2 toughness 3 stamina
With cool down reduction block cost reduction and stamina regeneration
On all 3
Nah it's because the picture is in HDR since I have HDR in the game (using Special K) but it doesn't translate well in a standard picture format
Does ghost (blessing) activate reciprocity rn
The steam guide says ghost, hit & run and stripped down can activate reciprocity
My krieg is doing pretty well with that
accidentally shoots a burster near a squadmate, hurting them badly. Feels bad and tries to help with a med injector to heal the damage. Forget which button to use, and use it on self to heal 2 damage, while staring them down. Whoops.
It does but in a very fucky way, only regular shooters will activate it and only near the start of the proc.
Shovel time :3
yeah we only accept horribly unreliable crit chance in this imperium
gunners & reapers can't?
hm
weird
I was thinking of running it for laspistol
Someone elses video
gunners/reapers can do dnd for whatever reason but not reciprocity
Your mileage will vary with stripped/hitnrun as I haven't tested either'
Flexed on the mf

https://i.imgur.com/xCOBefT.png is the infantry graia any good? this seems like a good roll to try for something
amazing roll, the weapon itself can do well but is outshined by its siblings
it has relatively gentle recoil per shot, the way it feels to me
i've got a decent heavy one, but havne't ever gotten a good roll on a light infantry yet
i hear people are going nuts over the light infantry autogun. does it have a super high crit rate or something?
The Columnus?
yes, it's 4am and my words are leaving me lol
It's just got very favourable numbers, it's a powerhouse (crit is part of that)
I think it has the wrong damage stat
Like does as much damage as a Graia per shot, but it shoots faster
Try it if you can make one before it gets nerfed, feels super nice to use
melk trust me a bit too much this week
Also very predictable recoil, idk how it compares with other IAGs since it's the only one I ever used
hrm, i guess those blessings are workable?
I personally love raking fire on my columnus iag
i gotta keep the blessings, cause the perks are straight trash lol
although it rarely get the chance to work...
come to think of it, this is my first 550 ever, i think lol
would be awesome if it had dumdum 4 somewhere
look kinda nice? 🤔
also, i'm thinking about using shotgun for fun. some tip about which gun, perk and blessing I need pls?
Oof, should have kept +2 stam and changed FF to dumdum imo
(+2stam for Deadshot)
The agri is fun imo
ah well, too late now
can always make another one 
i guess deadshot got changed sicne i last played before the rework. back then, as far as i coudl tell, extra stamina on deadshot was actually detrimental
because it seemed to me the cost was percentage based of total stamina
No it definitely helps now
Don't get me wrong this one looks good
I just don't really like raking fire
neither do i to be honest, i jsut thought stamina was useless lol
i'm re-learning
yeah the cost is flat now instead of percentage
It is mostly
Deadshot is the only thing I can think of that really works with stamina
deadshot being percentage was one of the stupidest thing ever 
You get pretty dumb crits with the IAG with deadshot
The redditor had some actual breakdown of Deadshot iags
remind me what an IAG means? i haven't heard that acronym before
Infantry Auto gun
ahh, okay
my current vet build is more of a silly toughness share build
eating a smack to the face on malice only does like 12 damage
Well. It's malice 
Melk hates you more like...
i've got no regrets rerolling book weeklies
Book and missions without player deaths
I swear books are bugged or something because it never tracks for me
how on earth do you do long bomb
Throw bomb very far
I got mine on enclavum baross finale
just keep trying long throws and hope it works at some point
or try throwing one directly upwards in an outdoors map when you have a horde on you
I hear that works too
does quick clicking reduce the fuse
I did mine at the start before you drop down on hab dreyko
I did mine on hab dreyko drop down, quick throw aimed at the sky
tbh just randomly throwing one at the ceiling in large rooms will eventually get you it
quick clicking is the way to go, long throwing makes the fuse like 5 seconds mid-air
quick is closer to 3
good chance of getting it when you measure the explosion distance and look for spots where a horde will drop off a ledge
which maps are best?
Any long bridge
I see around 25-30m for the quick click
if they die to bleed that counts right
got it lessssgooo
easy stuff
is there a guide to what power, finesse, rending etc are
i'm scrub tho 😦
Inspect the gear and it will tell you
Power is dmg
Finesse is weakspot/crit damage and sometimes attackspeed
Rending adds to your armor modifier
or you just need to guess blindly, the way fatshark intended 
So if you do 50% damage to carapace
20 rending makes it 70% instead
Any rending above 100 percent is reduced in effectiveness by a quarter
So 20 rending at 100 armor modifier is 105% damage only
Also rending only affects flak/carapace/unyielding/maniac
there goes my first attempt at auric maelstrom
Judging from plasteel you got decently far in at least
Looks like just an unfortunate run :c
Wait really? I thought it was proportionate
That's even stronger than I thought
Yeah rending is highly desired for most weapons
Part of why crits are so good
Because it gives rending + damage
Any good builds for veteran people recommend for end game to look for?
For endgame, plasma + power sword is a very reliable build
ultimate meta slave build
VoC + Survivalist + Ping Keystone + Shredder Nades to help guide your fit
Sorry losing is boring 💅💅💅
"Good build"
just pray for all your braced auto shots land 
That's the key word
there is one universe where is worth picking up weapons specialist over focus target? i see a lot of ppl doing build with the former but i missing the point where it can be more useful 
Weapon Specialist is better if your team sucks
Focus Target is better if your team doesn't suck
For more details, it depends on weapon
shredder auto pistol and tac ax with smokes for off meta build
Weapon Specialist + Revolver is really due to Handcannon needing crits
Revolver
Reload 1 bullet every time you swap and kill with melee iirc
While other builds like Columbus can't really use Weapon Specialists that well
weapon specialist is mostly useful for melee weapons unless you have a revolver/plasma gun for guaranteed crits
i disagree, when my team sucks arses i want to be as far as possible from histerical zaelots charging blindly in melee
had the most awful match.. in terms of difficulty not toxic team was awsome but we died SO MANY TIMES.
one stealth zealot had to revive like 14 times
yep that's good.....but not as good as damage on demand on the same revolver imo
Hence why Weapon Specialist is better when your team sucks
i feel like i wanna play normal damnation forever cuz i always have control over the game and know i won't lose
Because Focus Target dramatically gets worse when you're not in coherency/teammates aren't shooting pings

There's really no reason to go beyond Damnation except for dockets
If you're still in the grind phase, just do quickplay standards or Aurics if Brunt is fucking you
well isn't it more about 'i'm stronger so why play lower difficulty and not auric'
If you're at that point, just do whatever is most fun
i play auric most of the time for dockets
I sometimes do Heresy just to mess around
It is about the masochistic joy
Same
Funnily enough the word masochistic is derived from is filtered on this server lol
when you cant carry hard enough 
I do maelstroms with +30% dockets lol
doesn't have any coherency req....u mean the bonuses to it?
Plasteel is nice but the real payment I want is pain
Yes?
Focus Target is ass if you don't get the team buffs
Changes a 4% damage minimum into a 16% team-damage minimum 😩
I see extra barrels maelstrom
I load up
I am going to put execution stance on my CIAG vet that is already doing Deadshot MF. Am I stupid?
it's just +20% flat damage, isn't that bad....problem with weapon specialist is if if u have a tard zealot meleeing your intended target or an ogryn in front of your ads before moving to next melee you are screwed
I want to make my CIAG feel like it does on my Psyker
would be a meme build
"Is a potential team-wide buff of 20% bad?" Bruh nevermind I got you now. Still though you have to remember the buff has to be coherency and bad teammates likely aren't
And no because if they were bad. They would likely be dead or doing shit damage
Having the issue of not enough targets that you will overlap is rare enough anyways in maelstrom
Are decimator and skullcrusher good blessings for the shovel?
I personally use Decimator and think its good but I get that's hard to make consistent :c
Idk what skullcrusher is
ok now makes sense....i saw myself WS works as intended in the middle of an horde (as u say when you haven't the issue of having enough targets)
i was missing the picture of endgame content😂
Yeah I figured "endgame" would be for maelstrom
Where the poxwalkers are replaced with trappers and ragers UwU
anyway if 'bad teammates' was only them not being in coherency....usually that means they don't even takes cover under heavy fire🤣 
The bar for player skill in Darktide is so low that knowing how to block and dodge is considered good
frigging true
Yeah, seems good to me. I hear some players don't like maniac damage as its only good vs dreg ragers + mutants
But it should be fine imo
how do you deal with carapace if you use a lasgun?
I hear Unarmored is good too due to a lot of exposed heads on trash hordes
Krak grenade or power sword
If you don't use either, run faster than your team
what's the interaction between rending and carapace, and finesse and carapace
For the purposes of lasguns that aren't Helbore, rending basically gives damage = to the rending amount
So +10% rending is +10% damage for most lasguns
Finesse is weakspot damage which is alright but you want crits
how does this change with helbore?
But the reason you want crits is because crits have their own rending
So crits + rending talents CAN allow you to kill crushers with a normal lasgun
Helbore charged shots have super high armor pen
Rending is largely unneeded for carapace on the helbore
BEHOLD THE POWER OF BRAUTOGUN AND SHEER WILLPOWER
Idk works fine for me
But I use a Mk.3
isn't that the worst one?
ye
my only reason to use it would be for the bayonet
Lol ok
i mean if the bayonet is bad then isn't there better dps weapon?
wait til he discovers what a trigger is
Ikr

Helbore's dps is "bad" but that's like saying revolver dps is bad
It will 1-2 shot kill anything not a boss.
However shocktrooper means it basically never needs ammo and it rarely reloads
The milk isn't sour today! Though the first target kinda sucks
as far as I can see, lasguns take major Ls compared to autoguns on DPS, but are more ammo efficient
i was told it has a cooldown now is it true?
Indeed
is that fair or am I missing something
Yes but the cd is like 0.2 seconds
So helbore doesn't care
ah
I definitely hit harder than that with my mk2
pay up
lasguns are most ammo efficent lol
Actually lasgun dps can be comparable to autoguns but its more skill based. Because you NEED weakspot hits
with right talents you cant deplete your reserve
nah man they are powerful enough as it is
the reconlas is whats hurting the most rn
my weakspot rate is pretty good
? I'm just saying what you need to make the most of them
payday 2 type beat
Lasguns need weakspot hits for Headtaker + Deadly Accurate
If you aren't popping heads constantly with Las might as well use autoguns.
Autoguns need crits to abuse their crit chain
I prefer ghost over deadly accurate now
depends on the group imo. braced dont need crit at all
If you're going for dps, it doesn't hurt
Lol
wait.. ALL of them?
just the long bomb one
? it helps a fuckton lol crits give rending and they have a large crit chain
It doesn't hurt but eh. We do absurd dmg already
Iirc you can get like 33% crit change with Deadshot
no crits here
I unlocked it but i got error coded out of that mission, but it was unlocked all fine when I was on the mourningstar
then I relaunched the game
no longbomb
Then you can just do better then
Base crit for brauto is 3%
idk i was holding down lmb and that was pretty much it.
gun go brrr
Actually base crit for brauto is -2% lol
who cares when you got the ammo capacity of a small nation
Yeah but crit means you'll hit even harder + rending to get past flak better
Sorry I like my guns doing the best they can lol 💅💅💅
infantry gun sure. but its not critical to use. but a good build will around those is the better choice.
braced? its a rambo gun, you just shoot like rambo and scream into VC mic. Good times
show me your gun then
instead of being a passive aggressive gremlin
show me how a braced autogun should be build
Brb
so what do
hard to say.
I never experienced such a thing, and unfortuantely dont know what todo really. maybe contact FS 🤷♂️
Anyways
Crits are good lol
Don't ignore higher damage and rending
Damage dropoff affects your armor pen
Shovel
Its the same thing though
Crit and weakspot both go off of finesse
So headshotting with an autogun also gets u high dps
😂 wheres the crit build? this is just a standard brautogun
Oh braced auto doesnt want crits
It has garbage finesse
Like worst in game
Ahh

Are you ignoring HH autoguns? You literally need headshots for 7 and agri
Might as well play something else if you're pumping bodyshots into maniac with the v7
Lasguns also have worse headshot multipliers than most autoguns
i should use head hunters some more. but i love mowing down hordes too much 😔
And honestly you must be a fool to run out of ammo on autoguns, so its a moot point
Lasgun needs love
🗿
