lolrolled this one for kicks.
Not bad
sunder/brumentum + pc4 are the meta blessing combos
Nope, energized hits already cleave like crazy
Yes
Sunder gives 400% cleave and minimum 4 targets hit by cleave (crushers, maulers, scab ragers, etc)
Huh. Neat. Got both power cycler 4 and sunder 4 so kinda tempted to make a workable powersword.
Sunder gives u the highest cleave currently possible in this game
Brutal momentum is way better tho, gives infinite cleave on weakspot kill and the weakspot dmg helps with hitting 1hit breakpoints
BM is capped at transferring first target dmg to 4 enemies
It’s good
Sunder is just for a different purpose
For clearing trash that doesnt matter
It does matter
I hope when space marines 2 comes out we get some kick ass Cadian armor
Horde clear is important 🥹
fun
Is it? i keep seeing zealots running ahead and only targeting elites and then getting netted
How's that change things 
Yeah you need hordeclear to kill the horde of trappers UwU
Shock Gauntlet says "Trapper Tuesday"
Castiel Plasteel
wish it was rank 4 tho
what
replace sustained with dumdum and unarmored with flak or maniac, you got a nice lil' shredder
I know, I already have one
Unarmored is only good on Caxes and knives
I love magdumping crowds
It was a self-defense sitaution
i don't do defense
don't care; didn't read; keep thinking; solve it urself
Crowds aren't unarmoured except some enemies no?
Wait what the fuck
Ciag already clears hordes fast
testing some nade fun, somehow blind luck let me drop 5 krak nades on the boss with 3 throws, and become top boss damage dealer 😂
Not enough to uh justify running it on ciag
Lol
why can't that stripped fire be lvl 4 instead
But it was a lock anyways
Just noting
Yuhh
Just put on onslaught
What weapon doesn't have 100% pen vs unarmored lol
Onslaught would be useless
recon las
I joke
I'm actually not sure on that one
another brick
I don't know. I don't use the gun till a fs dev realizes how bad it is
i hate this game
I wouldn't have even put that past purple
i feel like not completing any Melk mission ever again
Rolling 67 damage? I could accept 69 but that’s just too low
Another 2 points for perfection
build thoughts on mk6 knife?
HB2
loks the same
Darktide releases discontinued, all efforts on Helldivers 2 confirmed
Typical knife setup, uncanny and something else. If you want to spam lights then the 6 is strictly worse than the 3.
Super Earth WILL prosper
Uncanny and haymaker for the memes 
If damnation, sure to take a plasmagun so you can actually do something rather than run around and deal no damage
yeah, heavies seem pretty good so far on the 6
Lol, new to knife but not vet. Seen plenty of people running 800K+ damage on knife/revo anyways
just mucking around testing it so far, even without uncanny the TTK on elites and specialists is good
MK III or MK VI power sword for power cycler 4/sunder 4 combo?
what does sunder even do? Rending?
Infinicleave.
brutal momentum/pc on the mk6 sword is pretty hard to beat
Every knife vet I’ve encountered has been useless. Only exception was one guy who was good because he mostly shot with his plasma gun. At this point I just use it as a sign everyone on the team will have to step it up to carry the dead weight
Always mk6
I don’t really play with pubs but when we have a fill player I’ve had plenty who somehow are useless w a psword
mostly looking for some variety from me overusing the Rashad lol
I feel like knife players are usually either really good or really bad
Better cleave than the lights so they feel more impactful, but the speed at which they come out and the combo cancelling required means you only get a bit better clear than light spam
That’s true, it’s possible to be useless with any weapon. But with knife it’s pretty much every person using it.
oh yeah for sure. Horde seems could go either way, was thinking on single target
I’ve seen a few good knife zealots and zero good knife vets
Noticed you can throw H3 as a light attack following the punch which is interesting
Safest combo for horde clear on mk6 is l1 h2 anyway
Hand batt mk 2?
helbore mk2 needs unarmored to 1 shot dreg gunners in the face
so i'm having fun with weapon specialist build, agripanaa shotgun and catachan mk4 sword. some success in auric damnation, just not histg yet 😂
⚾ I like mine more
the gun still take a bunch of shot to kill elite and big stuff but I got 3 nades and chance for 2x of them...
400% cleave, minimum 4 targets hit by cleave (regardless of mass)

If youre having fun it sounds like the perfect build. yeah the apripina shotty is good at headshot sniping specials but starts to struggle with bulk since its slow
you could take krak instead of shredder if you want to help with big stuff, assuming you have a decent way to deal with swarms
Wish you could load up as many special shots as you wanted
Make it a slower reload. Just let me have a full tube of fire ammo
Imagine having to hit the special button all the time. Be agonizing
If it was like "hold special to load" as many as you want it'd be fine
Also some interesting mods that admech pfp has
yeah, that would be some great buff / QOL as well
Honestly, the only gameplay mod I would be glad to have more than anything. Just keep spamming kantrael fire shells
My veteran has the best outfit
Kinda mad there's how many variations of the class's standard uniform in the commissary and almost othing of variety based on the penance unlocks or prisoner theme outfits. Like say armored prisoner garb or as many colors as the standard uniform offerings
That's every class though
The cosmetics you can earn in game are certain ones and mostly reskins/recolors
The cosmetics that are more unique are through aquilas. even the stuff you earn in penance are mostly recolors with a few unique ones
I see you enjoy your mediocre live service slop with some salt on the side 
I agree btw
Yes I know. And I think it's dumb that in-game earnables are severely neglected
some really low effort stuff out there in the aquilla shop that I would ignore even as ordo docket options lmao
Especially FOMO recolors
yea the recolors are the most outrageous part
I think I could at least give them the benefit of the doubt if they included recolors in bundles or better yet separated camos entirely as their own separate inventory slot to give players customizability
If I buy a style, I should have that style with X colors as a premium cosmetic or have it unlocked with dockets. I'll pay for unique models and shit but the recolors just turns me away
Its kind of an uh..
test of your mental resistance to fomo bs
I mean the rotational shop is there for probably this reason
so they can sell recolors and such
Been over a year and there's only 2 colors for weapons for dockets
Yep. People won't know its a recolor if they either didn't see or remember the previous cycle
Will probably remain that way till this game dies tbh
I've had uh.. more drip in free to play games
I think fucking apex legends gave me more drip without paying a dollar
I played that game like.. maybe 50 hours? I was swimming in cosmetics
I guess that game's version of fomo is like lootbox gambling though
so they prolly got some giga whales
Game still going strong despite having several cycles of absurd event cosmetic pricing
I'm confident game could lose another %75 of its current playerbase and fatshark would probably not care
I'd still be playing Apex if it didn't shift focus towards crossplay and consoles in particular
I'm too casual to deal with aim assist tuned to compete against pro level mouse aim
I can't just come home tired and play like shroud on adderal just to get a kill lmao
I'm satisfied right now. Came in when the class overhauls happened. Binged it, all characters are decently kitted and melk isn't reliable enough to worry about weeklies. Now to grind Tekken 8
I'll pay attention when new content drops but yea got other games. Actually, slow updates are good for me because now I can focus on other things
for darktide yea playing the shopping mall experience was never the strong suit of the game anyways
Debating if I want to learn reina. She looks cool but I'm playing yoshi who is also cool.
play who you think is cool yk?
It's tekken. :3
Reina is straight up the first Mishima I've ever seen and thought "yeah, I'll play them"
Her animations and design are too cool to me.
Lightning but...checks notes
Apparently she's like near the top in popularity for player choice
P U R P LE?!
From a friend that plays the game I was told that she's like third or something in online player picks.
Third or sixth. Can probably look it up somewhere.
this one is from event hubs from feb 01 this year
Granted, idk where eventhubs is getting that info and eventhubs has had a shaky past in the past with being a little inconsistent to agenda'd with their info reveals.
but whatever.
It's taking the leaderboards in the game
Might be a twitter post or something from harada.
Got you.
So it's only 10k players
I'll admit to just snatching the image and not checking anything else.
so thanks for the clarity.
But I will say with my short time and only just now reaching yellow last night, I've definitely seen Reina the most
Yeah and the person that did it mentions this on twitter too. It's for steam pc specifically at warrior rank and the 10k cap you mentioned.
Dragunov and Reina stocks
But yeah, reina is definitely a popular one. I think she's neat but I'm more into Azucena because I think she's just great.
War crime dance
Jk I just need to understand what she's doing
She might be in that same realm as like Lucky Chloe but much more evasive I really don't know shit about thse games like that specfically.
Usually the mobile stance fiends get gaps in they shit that's free licks for you after being in the lab for a little bit.
Only yellow rank at warrior. Yoshi spinning low kicks so free
Yoshi always got the coldest designs for the monster characters.
I fucking love them.
Tekken 4 yoshi?
With the beetle wings?
T7 is probably my favorite so far rn
Straight out the fucking deeps Yoshimitsu
Abyssal Manji Warrior, Yoshimitsu (T7)
Man bloody roar would be cool if it came back
i love me brautogun
imagine what i could do with a STUBBER OR HOTSHOT
FATSHARK PLS IM BEGGIN YOU
I'm actuallu fucked up over how the og bloody roar was more responsive than I thought it'd be.
I LOST THE WIFE AND KIDS
Got to play it years ago./
We have hotshot at home
So Puppet Master for Psyker and Towering Presence for Ogryn are both coherency radius, whereas Charismatic is just aura radius, not coherency. Is that correct?
yes
wait
yeah just aura radius
with all of your coherency bonuses being extended to that range.
Charismatic is your coherency and it also affects VOC range for whatever reason
Your aura range is, or at least should be, your coherency
So it does affect toughness regen and stuff like For the Emperor then?
Not directly, but it should have all the benefits of extending your coherency
I figured it only applied to stuff like Survivalist due to the difference in wording compared to Towering Presence
One important thing to note is that fatshark tooltips blow
Like how some talents say "base damage" for absolutely no reason, when it's actually just regular damage
It was labeled "base" for no reason
Yeah I've heard that even the iconless talant nodes will be coded differently. Like two nodes that both say +5% toughness damage reduction might not work exactly the same
Probably to make it multiplicative
Might be yeah
@untold mulch
They hate tooltips
The Omnissiah declared "fuck easily understood information"
just like the imperium 😍
Real
The mysteries of the warp is fatshark coding.
I think Tzeentch would be baffled at their code
lili and asuka adjacent to each other
all is right in the world
I don't understand why they didnt bring back Jack 7
Only people I know that play those characters are people that are just specialists of them lmao.
Is there not a single Jack in T8?
yes
there is
im just shitposting
since he's jack 8 now
gomen
also i play lili
sall good
shenanigannery is fine
will admit that jack 8 looking so serious is new to me.
but then again the implication of jack is just as messed up in the tekken story
lol
T8? we getting new difficulty?
Even the game couldn't believe it either
💖 17 🔁 7
Playing Paul where I decide my next move by throwing a dart at a dart board (every spot is death fist)
I am so freaking tired right now
Did they downgrade the servers?!!
My game is lagging and freezing every 40 seconds or so
The correct answer is the only answer at the moment.
Live your life one death fist at a time.
Recon lasgun and a shovel
at this rate who knows
Its probably your isp
Okay come on, the game runs well... usually
But many stuttering or lagging isn't common 🥹
To me it run like shit a few days ago when I did a match with a friend
we both were mid-match going "you know what, kark this shit" 

Damn 
Lol someone didn't use blessed oil
Got to seduce the Machine Spirit for 60 fps
I take it as a sign that even my own rig is tired of the fish BS
Me still forcing my comp to play Darktide despite DRG, L4D, and Helldivers existing
Like, the only time I had lag and stuttering was before my internet was fixed
The previous internet guys put so many splitters into my internet it was slugged
the freeze only lasts like 1,5 seconds or so then it continues as usual
My friend convinced me to get HD2 today
Yeahhhh 
Fucking worth it
Yes
Same problem as I had, I rubber banded in place
I would defo check your ISP
OK
Fighting the bugs at start was annoying and feeling like we were lacking tools
then we jumped to the cyborgs
Why this is suddenly D-DAY!
Sorry Eagle stratagem 💅💅💅
Making me feel like you're in terminator judgement day
See this is why I bring the 380mm barrage
I was gonna ignore it
then a tooltip went "don't forget to use stratagem of rearm to have them ready"
And I went oh thats why they have uses 
Artillery is for kings
Fr
I WILL make this planet look like the moon
Yet
Yet yep
Only at level 5 
Still unlocking stuff
Spamming disposable launchers to survive
went back to kantrael laspistol (my beloved) after using a well rolled plasma for a bit and holy fuck, plasma is so overtuned lmao
does basically everything better besides like, mobility and ammo efficiency

I'm waiting for the next balance patch because for me it's very hard to compare weapons when we got the trifecta of broke weapons
Well shit, I might get the game if it has actually satisfying laser weapons
If the main draw is laser weapons, rn it only has two and are constant beams
Rifle one and a Shoulder one
Beam weapons are cool too
Which IMo dont quite hit the same
Hopefully they add the one in HD1 that was a pulse beam
You dont need to reload as long as you dont 100% heat
I personally dont like them, but check it out on a video if you wish
Also I hope more games copy the aiming system
Makes heavy weapons actually handle like heavy weapons
i saw, the heavy weapons turn slower than the cursor right?
looks extremely satisfying
Mhmm, kind alike WarThunder?
iiiiiiii kinda see where you're coming from
Looks weird, you would think is shit
and then you actually play and is a blast
Got a grenade at my feet
Leapt backwards downhill, while still firing at the target
felt the coolest in the squad for a sec
also the two factions are so different
The Bugs is full on starship troopers and you are constantly with the head barely above water trying to contain the tide of bugs
Then the Cyborgs is D-day and you are dodging tracers and missiles 
ill have to wait to see if sony budges and puts it on geforce now
hopes are not high
Fair enough
Also good pfp 
thanks :D
I absolutely love how that fanart made everyone in the community go
yeah, thats her 100%
Would have preferred her as the constant voice instead of Ayre 👀
I mean, I played all ACs
I expect everyone to be gaslighting/lying to me 
y'know what, fair enough lmao
Like Ayre actually being geniuine was me half the game
🤨 What have you hidden
FS has me trained to expect betrayal
Based ending 😎
poor maeterlinck
Just a tiny bit of trolling
Literally gets thrown into the worst matchup of the planet
I wish there was more everything
To my understanding, this means any kind of damage that can be dealt to enemies. And not only for the tagged enemy. It's correct yeah? Talking about the statement Damage here.
More Walter, More Carla, More Chatty
redirect fire applies to all enemies after death of tagged enemy
its a buff for you
Basically a buff to the group that gives them 1.5% damage per stack to anything they do
is very good
or at least it feels good to have it at max stacks
also refreshes alone, I think
Like, if you tag at max stacks and later tag at min stacks
It is incredibly good compared to other two keystones.
yeah it do
correct.
though im also a marksman's focus enjoyer with IAGs
20ish% toughness regen to everyone is pretty good
yeah focus target is just good all around
getting a good loop going w/ it and a lucius seems to evaporate most specials
i cba to check the breakpoints though
more damage is more damage
I use mainly automatics so mroe damage is always good
It means you and your team dealing additional %12 damage to the enemies the entire map. A wonderful keystone to have, for me.
i played my first game with helbore mk2 and my hand freaking hurts now lol
i really wanna use ILGs more but the IV and Ia feel like they kick slightly too much and the XII...i dunno, it just dont feel the same
also hadron bricked my otherwise perfect Ia so
380 (or near 380), flakiac, headhunter (or whatever that blessing is)....and infernus.
Ilas is just in a weird spot
yeah
i'd kill for a burst lasgun
XII has been power creeped
or a good automatic lasgun but fatshark wont let that happen
Also the reverse falloff hurts a lot
IV should have normal falloff
it having reverse is just dumb
yeah it just don work
Design team at obese tuna just don't think what they are doing
Recon, any day now
ill check in in five years
Still shit
i thought laspis might be too dinky for no ammo scabs
actually pretty decent though
infernus actually useful over dumdum 
dunno if it was just bc itw as no ammo scabs but i might prefer wep specialist over marksman focus
nah
stamina/toughness is the best one to feed deadshot
keep in mind most ppl dont build their guns around you giving a conditional damage buff
some dude on your team with revolver doesnt care if they get 10% more dmg from your buff, their 2k per shot on a crusher being buffed to 2.2k doesnt actually make a difference, still takes 2 shots to kill
meanwhile toughness feeding is nice on top of the stamina feeding for deadshot builds is insanely good
if i can only take 1 its usually that one
I meant the other keystones on the left and rigth path. The Marksman's Focus and Weapon's Specialist.
But sure, that one's great too. No denying there.
i think
in term sof standalone biggest effect
i would say wep specialist is more impactful then
its a huge difference on melees
but very expensive to path down there
compared to the middle tree where you naturally always have to path halfway down anyway because tac awareness
Considering how many bps there are a player cannot build for every breakpoint
so 5% or 6% damage might actually do something here, there.
that's a big maybe
Its really not
on a damage buff that's already inconsistent
Ohhh
100%
alright, name one off the top of your head that activates off redirect fire lol
Marksman Focus I still personalyl state is terrible
on a gun that's already built properly ofc
i'd actually say its quite rare
most of the time if you're only 10% away from the bp you can twist your tree into making it work if its important
and when someone gives up on the bp its because its too far to bother
I think you somewhat miss the point
True. I mainly love the Focus Target as it's teamwide, instead of only you. Tag a Beast of Nurgle at 8 stacks, it'll receive +32% damage. and if you had stacked the Redirect Fire 8 times, that's +12% damage from there and you'll deal remarkable damage to the Boss. Which are the enemy types that can end a level out of the blue on some cases, sadly.
You usually build for your own BPs rather than anybody elses
ya that's what im saying lol
Theres multiple types of enemies in the game
But gunner BP
Weapons can crit, headshot.
Is hit with tag
One of the breakpoints will be hit with 5% or 6% just due to the pure number of variables in the game.
if its so common
like i said
name one
but being someone that almost exclusively uses semi autos
Dreg shotgunners on mk 6 catachan knife.
i can say its very rare
Its what i currently have open
And yes it would hit the bp on shotgunners with 5% to 6%
Are you hitting shotgunners with melee very often
I feel like i very rarely melee them
This is the issue that... 5% and 6% extra damage in practice is very tiny
YES
Very rarely will you ever need 5 or 6%
Nah just interested
their head is unarmored
but yes
im running flak
every relevant melee buff taken
rending does nothing ofc since unarmored
80/80/80 knife too
Generally the actual breakpoint discussion is going nowhere.
its going nowhere bc its not common of a scenario at all
and even if this was an example
u'd
have to be in coherency fighting this exact enemy with a perfectly rolled knife
and only in that situation
and that one alone
redirect fire might do something
if its stacked enough lmao
I mean, depends on weapon
Some weapons benefit from RF a lot
but about half the weapons in the game dont really care about it
I think if u don’t need RF to maintain breakpoint, target down is better
that's why I'd run target down over it almost always unless the RF is for urself
all the team buff shit is sadly something you should only consider as a nice bonus if it happens to help your team
primarily its for your own benefit
Pretty much
what does it mean 🥹
Theres alot of 6% to 5% on there
im illiterate
It doesnt factor in every enemy in the game.
picture is confusing
No but like explain what it meeans
Also RF scales off ur base dmg
Wait for a knife that's pretty terrible
I changed it to instead of damage numbers its breakpoints'
i still dont fully understand
nor do i even know what weapon this is
running what tree

TLDR is, unless you have weapons that specifically benefit in breakpoints from from RF, target down is better (and that’s still a situational luxury pick imo)
8 stacks modifier is generally not good enough to be worth running
8(6%) means that it needs 8 hits to kill the target.
Well the calculator doesn't actually take into account any perks does it?
its 6% away from hitting a breakpoint
I mean talents
No
is that a agri braced?
what weapon even takes 8 hits to kill a bulwark unless its auto
But the general point is that weapons can benefit from 5% to 6% without knowing it
That does mean it's 6% away from getting a bp of 7
Becuase theres so many enemies in the game.
And so many variables in how damage is dealt.
I mean
by that same logic
on the otherhand that breakpoint may be reached by taking something like +elite damage or whatnot
there are even more situations where it did absolutely nothing
Its why people build for their own break points
Ye thats what i was orignally testing
that's why nobody relies on something like redirect
unless its the person using it
Yeah
at least with weapon spec, i don't have to do any breakpoint testing
Like, its why nobody builds for a break point from any other class
attack speed goes brrr
You only ever build your own
I suspect the catachan mk 6 actually wants elites instead of flak with desperado, 10% melee.
I’ll be honest, I don’t really care too much about breakpoint calculations if it’s more than 3 headshots to kill
Redirect fire is good for several 1 shot kill guns
I wouldn’t take it for smth like iag5
yeah its situationally good for yourself
the "team utility" aspect of it shouldn't really be considered is what i was getting at
I take it for myself and whatever dmg bonus it gives to my teammates is just me being nice
personally I find the stam regen node far more useful anyway for 1shot kill guns just to continuously sustain deadshot for crit bps
but if a gun needs RF for a bp that's the main situation it shines in
The only gun I really take crit breakpoint seriously is Mk2a revolver tbh
Im going to go back to what i was doing now
V7 I think gunner 1 hs is better to hit without crit anyways
Crit BP is flamer 1HS
nah not for gunners
i also build it for no crit gunners
but rager/flamers
and to a lesser extent maulers
I think flamer already is crit 1HS even without maniac
its not
just had a level 16 vet in my damnation game
i even need to run 10% rending to do it
Hm
otherwise it doesnt reach
that was painful
Tag them prob
that's w/o 10% rending
with 10% it kills
need 3 tag stacks (at least for my gun is 72/80, its literally 9 dmg off so maybe 80/80 would only need 2 stacks) if you dont run 10% rending
tbh since its on the way to focus target i just take the 10% rending anyway
I think the only issue with the kantrael laspistol to me
Is that it cannot kill dogs
I hate how bad it is vs flamers
Mk2 Laspistol is better imo
Gotta land those headshots for flamers
it staggers them pretty quick at least
Atleast the flamer doesn't go flying around
and ya
I have to jerk my mouse around to track a dog even after shooting it in the head
i do not like the kant laspistol
made me almost drop teh weapon at first
feels like the gun wants to spam for ghost procs and it does not do that nearly as well
Nah, accutran is for ghost procs
do you run it ghostless @ kant?
I run reassuringly accurate instead
It's more likely to kill on a crit with its higher base damage
And it has good base crit
Plus my crit node and my often guaranteed crit from weapon specialist
I wish the mk10 laspistol had better maniac dmg and better dmg over range
🤔
sounds alright if you're using it as a revolver-lite
maybe ill stick that on and give it a whirl
I have a super cursed build for Laspistol rn
do u not run dumdum then?
Per magazine
since it sounds like u just swap to it and shoot once and swap back
I run dumdum and reassuring
That's true lol
slim pickings among the blessings
I mean, I can swap, lay down quite a number of shots
Swap, melee. Swap back, lay down more shots
Revolver I'll have to reload somewhere there if I want to engage more then five targets
i kinda enjoyed
wep specialist more than mf
at least on my last no ammo run with laspis
maybe ill try it
That's a large chunk of time not dealing damage
in theory kant should benefit more
I put
Elite and maniac on my kantrael
I find it's flak damage is high enough
Elite helps with maniac ragers
not high enough to kill a flak rager on a bodyshot 😔
im testing what things i can just bodyshot lul
I go for headshots
god damn
Except on maulers
And it tears apart maulers with repeat body shots
If you also have reciprocity node for more crit
It can be very powerful
Because you also generate more toughness out of every crit kill
man
Crit more, more toughness
this thing could do 20% or so more dmg honestly
i think
and be fair
vs the mk2
i like the idea but its sad a lot of things it cant oneshot evenw ith the gauranteed crit
Yeah. It's not a revolver
flamer, rager, dreg gunner, ironically it can kill shotgunner on flak body but not unarmored head
But two shots to kill most things honestly isn't bad
As cursed as this looks, this actually kinda works
I run combat axe + laspistol
I unironically think if left pathing wasn’t the best option
Right path for aura is the best route
Even taking smokes
nah
well
i agree minus the smokes
i started running v3 with close and kill
and i honestly dont miss surv at all
I have had better time with smoke than krak
It’s good for repositioning vs mass shooters at range
i accidentally brought smokes in a game once
honestly
it wasnt useless
hard to justify over shredder frags in the end either way though
Frag is best
still funny to meme on smokes though
But I find smoke more useful than krak
but i get what you mean by that tbh yeah
kraks kinda suck
even against armor packs, killing like 1 or 2 bulwark solves nothing
only thing it feels good at is monstro
alright
im gonna wean myself off shredder
lets do this 
actually should probably take shocktroop without surv
Yea
I also take middle keystone for a bit of extra dmg
Gives me scab gunner 2HS with mk2 laspistol
I also don’t need desperado since 10% melee alone gives u the necessary breakpoints for combat axe
i think i get it regardless
o wait
not at 18m~
man
i have to give up on overwatch if i want ogryn dmg
U should still take grenade regen
Smoke is funny and having more smoke = more funny
points stretched in too many directions now
i regret everything
fucking infiltrate
@junior haven oh god escape the helldivers discord I thought general was bad

Its like general with a 5 minute cooldown
But woorse
Infil pathing is just miserable
if i take close and kill im taking the chance to NOT play voc for once
i do it on every tree
with c&k
I have one counter argument: If you dont already have a survivalist vet, you are actively being a detriment to your team by not running it. Wish it wasnt that way but unfortunately thats the state of ammo economy in this game...
If there’s another veteran running survivalist I don’t need to play survivalist
I still use survivalist for my main builds, I was just experimenting with other stuff to see how much I can get away in ammo econ without survivalist

The survivalist is not stack other survivalist?
Identical auras don’t stack
That’s boofed
U can have 2 Psykers running the same cooldown aura and you only get the benefit of 1 aura
So 5%?damage not stack identical aura
That’s suck to hear.
Aura kinda sucky but I think the coding of fs is spaghetti as so.
Yep they don’t stack
If survivalist stacked you wouldn’t have ammo issues with plasma gun at all
4 dudes running survivalist (if it stacked) can literally make it go positive in ammo econ
4% ammo regeneration
technically you can run Survivalist + Scavenger (the starting vet aura)
but anyone willing to do that is insane and probably a heretic
Wait that stacks?
yeah
its a meme though rather than effective
Grab every single node before aura
What is scavenger? That sound like old feats
Default veteran aura when you don’t take any aura options
yeah it gives 0.75% ammo back instead of 1%
but it does apparently stack for the funny 1.75% ammo
Works with the bots
No buff stacking but weapon blessings still affecting things that aren't the weapon
I didn’t know there is default aura.
smh forgetting about the 2nd strongest aura in the game UwU
lmao
that is a good way to describe scavenger
Mediocre default aura
god
infil really has like 100 ton weights on its leg
from pathing
its so good
also i think i used smoke grenades like 3 times in that whole match

Too used to my voc crutch
What does overwatch do again? Is it the cdr talent on elite kills?
the double charge
Oh ok
double charge + 12% cd reduction on curios lul
Yeah that’s the one that raises cooldown to like a minute iirc
carves off a good 7 seconds and its rarely wasted since you're usually sitting on one charge
Is graia brautogun any good? ive heard its good since the latest patch that buffed it a bit
I hate it
I’m not a fan either but maybe I just don’t get it
doesn't feel like it does enough damage to justify its fire rate and relative low accuracy
how about colomnus 2?
I like the agri brauto the most
is colomnus 2 better than graia?
hard to say, I never rolled a good one to play with
Big mag but the accuracy feels terrible
The only braced auto I use is agri
It does only slightly lower dps than the agri when braced
But it feels less punchy
We're talking like 50~ dps
The bloom feels so bad
Graia has the unique property of the spread halting and then tightening during bracing
It’s very funny
But yeah the spread is pretty painful on all of them
I think they should just have the braced mode have very tight shot grouping
Not “expand first then condense”
Agree, also tighten the braced spread for the other ones too
Maybe have the columnus brauto have the tightest hipfire
Graia does feel really good in braced mode tho due to zero recoil
Why are they even called “braced autoguns” when the only one worth bracing is only for a firerate increase
Because uh
Game design is immeasurably complex and uhhhh
Small indie company, also it's snowing in sweden, please understand
So is optimization
Speaking of, that's another thing modders had to do for fatshark
wait you're telling me mods can get my 3060ti to run more than 90fps in a lobby with a psyker on a soulblaze build

What melee should I use with plasma gun?
Anything that can handle horde clear and general melee targets well
Devil’s claw, chainsword and combat axe seem best to me
wait r there performance mods?
Just trying to call attention to this mod. I feel like it can help many people, and likely make it playable in cases where it isn't. There isn't even a Steam Guide up yet for this mod. What it is: This will allow cards that aren't a 4080 or 4090 to use frame generation, which Nvidia graciously decided to lock to that generation of cards. If you ...
Gave me a consistent 100+ fps boost
damn, it requires rtx. I'm still gaming on a dinosaur 1080-ti 
I'm considering getting it but alot of replies are saying it makes your UI flicker alot
also wutever this means
if ur using it is it okay if u posted some gameplay?
Am waiting for AMD frame Gen tech to be utilized by fatshark
Take the universal one, that way you don't have to do anything else but drop it in
Yeah the subtitles and ui flicker a bit when you move, it's a consistent thing but doesn't make things unreadable for me.
You can uninstall it if you don't like it but I find 100+ fps outweighs the flickering by a huge margin
This is the most badass group of randos I've ever played with. Several close calls, but we made it.
Infiltrator Veteran is so fun to play.
This did most of the work.
Where’s the scoreboard to claim you did most work?
I'm running vanilla, so my word's only as good as you think it is.
Lacerate 
That being said, having two uses of invisibility with a 25% speed boost helped me break out of near death multiple times, and got me to my downed team mates quickly.
Bleed bad they said lol
Lacerate deez nuts
Lacerate milkie
That's because it is 
i gotta get on this
This talent means I give 5 stacks of bleed, and if I hit a weak spot, instantly do an additional 60% damage. It's worked well for me at high levels.
I stand by it. Plus it's cool.
Uncanny strikes is by far the best knife blessing so losing it is pretty bad
Also mercy killer only needs 1 stack to proc so you can just take serrated alone
Bleed need bypass armor make like warframe did
Hitting weak points is kinda the point of knife so it makes lacerate even more eh
It might not be optimal, but I like it.
It's fun to land a heavy stab on a Crusher, and watch it bleed to death while it's winding up an overhead strike.
Makes me laugh.
Use it if you like it 
bleed isn't thaat much damage
The whatever float your boat
There is no better blessing. Lacerate is the greatest blessing in the game.
Greatest…
I'd say though
it's terrible
Lmao lacerate and flesh tearer
8 is bigger than 4
And you can actually hit weakpoints and use that finesse stat on the knife lul
There’s crits chance on finesse stats?
40% extra
Ye its pretty good with vet
With a flechette lawbringer
While cutting yourself and bleeding out irl

I have no knife
the problem is just that uncanny is simply overtuned rn
the numbers on it are just too high
not running it is like not running slaughterer pre-patch14
you can do it if you want to, but it's just suboptimal to do so
That is a blessed sight.
You have a problem
Its not a problem its a blessing
The lowest
it's not 60% more dmg
FS radio silent
Too busy working on a new set of penances and recoloring cosmetics
You need to be stopped
Uncanny/lacerate
Hello, is there a good resource for someone new to Vet but progressed to Damnation on Ogryn?
Nope
Vets have to dig through the muck, no hand holding guides here
Your only tip is that you should take VOC and survivalist
Very in character I suppose
Alrighty
They are your best friends
This guide explains all of Veteran's talents and related mechanics.
For Ogryn's talents, check this Steam guide .
For Psyker's talents, check [url=https://ste...
As long as you take them, you will be considered at least somewhat useful to have in the team regardless of performance. Also take overshield and spam VOC for a constant stupidity buffer for your whole team
Closest thing so far
What is it that you actually want to know?
Just want to understand what makes the talents and their combinations tick, and the right ways to play the class
Ah yes thats a question that cant be answered with a discord message.
I guess I will try to look up some popular builds and read through their talent trees, figure out what they do
I dmed some info.
Pretty good resources
Finally a breakdown that just give info
The problem is that very few vet agrees on that 
There is even an "implicit rules" not to ask about youtubers guide here expecting a positive answer ! 
I have all level 4 blessing for the knife unlocked...
except uncanny strike
In fact, I have NO level of uncanny strike
my luck is just the worst
Im pretty sure there are some to general themes to follow.
Ex most veteran builds will tend to invest most of their points at the bottom of the tree.
Best talents close to the keystone ? Yah sure, it is a good point
Smoke being useless ? Indeed. Recon being crap ? There are some common agreement. But nitpicking is the name of the game
Its likely to always be like that
And not always polite disagreement 
Theres always some strange niche that isn’t being considered.
t4 bloodletter worth buying from melk to rip?
There are also ppl that talk shit despite being very... arguable
chainsword
I once got baited on my redditor title. That i put down cuz someone insulted me like that here based on a blessing disagreement 
I still think shattering impact isnt good on plasma. Def not top 2 
The community simply doesnt appreciate XYZ niche blessing on a niche weapon.
What can i say?
There is niche and there is math
You reminded me actually that i will need to calculate that
Likely the target will just die within a few seconds after.
Plasma adm's look like this, that's why shattering won't be useful on it
So my advice is too ignore teammate on that one cuz otherwise everything can be handwaved
Also a propensity to kill things in 1/2 shots and shattering not applying on the hit that applies it
And killing things on the second shot anyway, typically
Anyway, i am still a redditor

Is it bad to say I never really enjoyed using the Plasma Gun?
Terrible
upboated
like idk what the hell it is, something about it makes me not want to use it at all
Beg for forgiveness infront of the emperor
You play what you like as long as you dont police other ppl stuff
Fair, I tend to try to make stupid but works builds
I don't like plasma either
I've gotten over my plasma phase 😌
You can tell people if their weapon is shit though
(recons)
that and I've kinda massively clicked onto Headhunter rifles they're just fun being able to click on heads and watching some heretics tumble over
I played it today because i was to lazy to switch from vet to any other class.
Right now i enjoy agri brauto, columnus, bolter, bayonet
Headhunters are regarded as pretty good (except the agri one, which no one seems to use ever)
Most of which are exec stance
Something in me says to attempt making a bleed based build with like Flechette and Serrated Blade perk
Flechette works with the kant special shells now
Dont use serrated blade. It only has niche interaction with some blessing going for it
It is really poor perf wise in practice
Which is sad
Flechette is fun though
Limited pen though
I heard the Agri is... Useable its just kinda outshone by Vraks III and VII
Also thats depressing to hear
No truzz me it very good in performance
On autogun ?
Infinite pen, seemingly. Tested it just yesterday
Bleed applies to all the targets
If we're able to load more than 1 special round at a time, I'd say it make it worth using
Pretty sure it didn't before
I tested it against 150 crushers so maybe carapace blocks 
3 Round burst and Semi Auto are just kinda slightly better than the 2 round from what I've seen but I don't doubt it has its upsides
Very possibly. I lined up a bunch of shotgunners
They're considered much better, generally
Agri HH is truly an enigma
What melee weapon hit a enemies so much bleed stack start mattering ?
Uhh
The exact reason why it has this name
My knife from when i was a level 2 veteran
Yeah its not the BEST but its really hilarious seeing a shit-ton of procs go crazy on one very unlucky special
It benefits alot from serrated blades.
Sure. Cuz of a blessing interacting with bleed 
Mercy killing i think ?
Yeah I'd figure that's the only way to make Serrated work, run crit with like Flesh tearer and Mercy Killer, that or just Uncanny cause its overtuned beyond hell and back atm on Knives
Vet isn't as good for a flesh tearer setup
Also fun interaction with thunderous
Wait thunderous is on knives
It's not
or just Melee in general
No, axe
(I literally don't pay attention to my blessings half of the time)
