Swap carapace to elite and that’s a godroll right there
Elite has the same crusher 2 shot breakpoints but better Crit bodyshot 1 tap consistency
I recall testing elite vs carapace when I played months ago and I believe carapace came out on top. Perhaps it's also my playstyle. I think a lot of people will go for body shots in situations that favor it. But I typically don't. I come from a competitive shooter background in which headshots are huge which I've been playing for 15+ years. (And Yes I'm a weirdo that alsoinvested 2000+ hours into Kovaaks if you know what it is) So it's carved into my brain to always aim for heads/weak spots.
Yes and elite has the same crit 2 headshot breakpoint as carapace
Just superiority complex + 10% elite, you don’t even need 20% ogryn/boss dmg
Anyone have a good leveling build? Lvl 20 and im tired of using this revolver
but every other weapon ive tried feels like doodoo without blessings
Only difference is that it’s around 1890 smth vs 2100 smth
Infantry autoguns
Columnus mk V in particular doesnt need blessings at all they are just icing on top
Not sure what the highest base power i can pull right now is
but ill give this a shot
i have a boltgun with unarmoured and reload speed, what should i change?
Change reload. Unarmored helps with hitting 1hit BP on dreg(yellow robe) gunners
Might help more on Maulers though, since they have flak body carapace head and generally take more damage from bodyshots
Just try to make it make sense for your build. If you're running without any good armour piercing then take a krak for example
Voice of Command and Survival Aura are generally considered the easiest skills to win with for veteran
(well survival is just unambiguously best)
(but voice of command is an option that's really easy to make great use of, but don't take the revive node for it. Spam the overtoughness version of it :) )
Greetings. Penance for the veteran "Make every shot Count." Do I just need to shoot all the ammunition until the end of the mission, almost without missing? Can I just shoot all the bullets at the enemies at the beginning of the mission and run without them? Will the penance be completed?
Yes
Apart from that just take shit that makes sense and experiment with stuff. If you want an easy route then if you can get your hands on a power sword which has power cycler on it you're fine til 30
PS is just turn brain off mode.
If you regenerate ammo after that point (e.g. through vet aura), it's fine. Just don't swap back to your ranged after you deplete it.
PS isn't completely trivial tbf, you have bad dodges and have to be able to fit weapon charges into your combo
although that's easier with the VI
because of the block cancel
I think the chainsword IV is even easier honestly but it needs a good one
Still is a brain off weapon fjdjjd
If someone has the basics of the game on lock down the PS is just free hordeclear.
I am not a huge fan of it however, I like other weapons.
I run some off meta things usually
Agripinaa stub revolver for instance, run that on my exe stance big game hunter and it works better than I expected lolol.
I've taken a liking to the pickaxe shovel on vet.
Pickaxe shovel fucks
Allows me to one shot most nuisances
And has some decent horde clear, worse than the standard but it is there.
PS definitely isnt brain off. But it is certainly very good, the rewards of learning its mechanics are definitely a bit on the OP side still. Being able to kill any non-monstrosity/boss in a few swings is a bit stupid
It's a dumb weapon dnndnd but it Is a power weapon so I'll let it slide for the power gamers. Now my shit shovel, good for caving in skulls.
Ive already relapsed and gone back to revolver
Not investing any crafting mats until im 30
the big boom one, not speed load
if you use one maybe try the other too
i never remember names
Zarona is the slow reload one
Zarona is slow shot
Agri is fan fire
The trouble with the zarona is that it's probably the worst ranged weapon for clearing trash shooters
I'm a big Agripinaa fan but it does require you to build around it, if built correctly though. It's basically just ranger veteran masterwork pistol
but it's probably the best for elites/specials
Only downside with zarona is reloading during stressful situations. But vet has like several ways to get reload speed times a million
Zarona is leagues better than agri sadly
If agri pierced I think it would up it's viability but yeah it simply is trumped
I gotta be real man if I can ads a vet weapon it's a massive downside that not even cleave can fix
I don't need to shoot hordes
Doesn't mean agri isn't at all bad, I've deleted bosses and can kill a ogryn enemies faster than a zarona it's just if a teammate walks in the way smg
Smh*
I don't need a lot of cleave on the agri but at least enough to pierce an ogryn teammate and I'll be happy :,)
ty so much. I'll go try
Just unload into a boss
Big points if it's a beast
I love to reload during a battle! There's nothing like the feeling of slamming a long silver bullet into a well greased chamber.
Me when I draw my revolver to kill that trapper only for my character to start reloading. I do have the zarona on my auric build simply because it is a REALLY good weapon. And the reload is sexy. I'll give it that.
so i wanted to try opening salvo on my mg12
and maybe im going crazy, but it seems as if the cooldown for the blessing is shorter when you hipfire?
is this intended?
And thats why u run weapon specialist
Never draw an empty volver
Yeah that's what I have for my auric vet build
It's nice to have a faster reload too and keep the chain of melee shoot
my theory si the new crafting system will involve melk coins
Melk money baby
And not touch diamantine?
classic fatshark move it would be
Among the thing I can never understand, solo clutch attempt by running back to the spawn is certainly one of them...
diamanten is used for crafting already but thats another theory too
I mean I understand backing up and changing positions for solo clutch
Tactical retreat is not visiting the health station before the previous one
Oh well, I should just not die if i want to complain
Running back after people die is a good strat at least
for the 20s before they respawn
you can stop them from spawning way behind enemy lines
Yeah, not for the 5min after
Oh well, he probably got a full reset cuz everyone left so I guess it is a win ?
You ever just inspect someone who has cool cosmetics assuming they will also have good gear and get pummeled with the reality that you sometimes have teammates who put infested damage on their boltgun. Bro is trying to hit pox hound breakpoints
Homie just wants to make sure poxwalkers don't stand a fucking chance
A Chad truly
I occasionally forget that I take this game a little too seriously and people play this game for fun on their off time fnnfnf
Is it worth building around not a single keystone?
Oh oh, someone has been visiting sites he shouldn't...
Wh
Depends on the weapons you’re taking, generally speaking though taking at least the middle keystone is never a bad choice
Something like this. Is it nonsense?
What weapons are u running
Shovel (standard) + Zarona
yes
I like it because it does a great job on hordes. Not a friend of power swords for example
but its hard dependent on your weapons choice
also i would consider going rending strike instead dmg on ogryns
you probs want uncanny on og shovel so that rending isn't gonna do a ton
Standard shovel is somewhat outperformed by Mk7 right now
and good zarona is gonna have hand cannon so not doing much there either
Probably needs a boost
idk its totally usable as a weapon
It’s usable for sure
Do not diss the power sword
not everything needs to be 100% perfect balance with each other (please nerf cleave on plasma and zarona lmb tho lol)
Giving standard shovel a leg up wouldn’t be bad tho
leave the plas alone
I have a very good one but I just don't like it, feels clunky and it isn't for me
Now ur just baiting

All I'm saying is
the plasma gun is lore accurate rn
Don't worry, when they release melta weapons they are going to change plasma to suck against armor
It’s not lore accurate because it doesn’t blow up enough of the time
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves
Besides that
“Ser, a loyalist reject squad is wreaking havoc in our metalfab!”
“I see. Loot their corpses when the poxers eat them.”
“Ser, they’re just using autoguns and shovels!”
“
”
And Darktide’s lore accuracy is fluid
4 morons with lasguns can blast a beast of nurgle to kingdom come
While also wearing rags
Why doesn't the strike team get turbo covid from being near plogryn and drop dead
Wouldn't call them morons, just stupidly lucky.
Game vs lore purpose strikes again
I would call a lot of darktide players morons, actually
Those are rejects we are warriors.
Plasma needs cleave nerf on uncharged shots
Not a big fan of plasma or power sword
Should buff charged shots tho
Who am I?
bait detected
I really ain't.
24601
not everyone appreciates the adamantium lightsaber
Warrior
A lot of people do
It's like the most popular weapon on vets
The numbers loyalist, what do they mean
Game balance is always more important than “lore accuracy” especially when the lore is as fluid as it can be
it was a joke you numbskull
The rejects are still impressive nonetheless.
Too many overpowered stuff in Warhammer lore
Yea says the guy who put +carapace on his MG1a lasgun and called me stupid
Hard to tell tbh
Blud remembered old news
good for u
I corrected myself afterwards
so stfu
Hostility reigning true
Good for u maybe get ur stuff right the first time instead
touch grass
pls
We should cool it right guys? Don't need any party pooping
I’m just bantering here lol I’m not serious abt it
my favorite headcanon is still that we have bargain-bin defect powerswords and that's why we have so many of them but they need reactivation
Don't want it to go sideways quick though fnnd
Most of our weapons are made by an ogryn
dollar store thunder hammers being outperformed by folding shovels
So we indeed get very low quality weapons
Also second hand
The ogryn fixes them up
Shows it in the cutscene brunt fixes them up and tosses you them
i imagine something like a mid-tier power sword needs an external battery connected to the hilt to stay activated
Backpack powered
while a real preem powersword just stays on by itself for commissars and the like
you don't see chaos captains having to turn theirs on, but then again theirs can be blocked by a wooden shovel if they don't do a heavy
They also have red plasma guns for some reason
Rejects simply better
Morrow absolutely has the most bonkers meta sweatlord infinite-activation power sword somewhere in his coat
its really nice space wood dw about it
To also be fair about the rejects, didn't Cain like
1v1 a khorne berserker and win?
Don’t think we’re quite Cain level
For one, cain uses a 1-handed chainsword in his character art, and that chainsword is about as big as zealot’s evicerator in this game
We are still quite good at what we do plus we have an ogryn and psyker
So it isn't out the realm of possibilities
We aren't Cain level but combined we basically are
spamming shout for gold toughness obv
"THE KILLING NEVER ENDS!"
...Okay, Cain killing the space marines is kinda BS
What he actually DOES is hold them long enough for a guy with a melta to finish them off
He does it twice in the book
The first World Eater is super injured
Cain basically barely survives
I can gripe a bit about the circumstance, but its fine
What hurt world eater?
The second time Cain basically dances around and taunts a lightly injured world eater-
...uhhhh the guy doesn't have a name
It's in Cain book 3
Sound like distraction before world eater destroy cadia
The khornate cultists are landing and he's with the Valhallans
Still
It's a feat of itself fndnne
Cain had some massive plot armor but it is Warhammer so
...I do like the idea of Cain narrowly surviving some Chaos Marines with insane skill and good luck
And everyone interpreting that as him winning
But as it is, it's hard to imagine how a normal human could parry a world eater
Is world eater a entity or a pirmarch?
they're a khornate space marine legion
Ah
anyway, why do people like knife?
after trying it i feel it is serviceable but not remarkable
it gives +10 to your crackhead stat
Turbo shank
but the damage sucketh
Hit the head
It has like a 2.5 finesse damage multiplier and more so with mercy killer
Plus I think the knife has a innate higher crit chance and good armor pen
not as good armor pen as actual AP weapons
and not nearly enough horde clear
not even spectacular vs ragers
i'm trying to look for reasons to run it but i find none
I think people use knife like mercy killer and serrated blade with uncanny strike
How's your build look then
Because my knife is very effective at everything besides ragers but I have a gun for them
It also maybe just not your weapon. It may just not fit your playstyle and that's fine. Find a weapon you enjoy:)
It's kind of a poor weapon on VoC
It is way better on Infiltrate
And you might need to juggle weapon swapping to knife to continuously get buffs that's what I do to handle hordes, not just swing. Shoot into a horde the swap to knife.
people just find it fun
you can make it do some bonkers stuff but ehhhh it's mostly about the fun factor, people like speed
It's an amazing dodge weapon
Fuck man tell me when you find out... The biggest reason to run it is to simulate the average London experience
We do have Bri'ish accents
Ima shiv a mf
Cadia stand!
Cadia stands don't it mate ?
ah yes i will bring a weapon not for the murder capacity but because it makes me dance harder
The dance machine
perhaps it depends on that
who knows
maybe it needs both that and riposte so you can crit
40k is all about style and drip
Cadian drip
why else does their paint cost 5x the amount you'd pay for regular paint
Some paint like 300k ordo docket like buying Balenciaga
mercy killer is a silly blessing
Hit on head and they’ll die
on the followup perhaps
Most times you can simply insta kill most enemies with a headshot
It also saves a blessing slot on the knife for uncanny
serrated blade which does a fantastic 2% of my damage
perhaps more if we factor in the mercy killer bonuses
or perhaps not, they might be going into overkill
who honestly knows
Probably not your weapon but I do spectacular with it
i mean, vet is also not my class
Fair
but i wanted to experiment with weapon spec + revolver
Shotgun weapon spec
I play like every class but if I had to label it
Vet
Psyker
Ogryn
Zealot
the revolver part is ok
Gotta juggle the knife and revolver in melee
but i probably should not bring a short blade to a longblade fight
Get kind of good at juggling weapons with WS
My character loadout like
psyker
Veteran
Ogryn
Zealot
I have like everyone level 30
And deleted character to get them to level 30 again
i'm just thinking if i am doing all this juggling just to make knife somewhat alright
why not just use an actual weapon
Vet is more jack of all trades archetype
They do everything well but that's it, the other archetypes do a specific thing GOOD
maybe agile engagement can be enough to activate combat axe silliness
I am quite the enjoyer of shovels and shivs
i am not at all interested in shovels
They’re funny
fr
Imagine being a traitor guard and some freak with a shovel just obliterates your squad
I used the knives for all the characters
Knife on ogryn is funny. Not his best weapon but doable with the single target combo
Knife zealot is strong af
Knife on psyker is hilariously viable with scriers gaze
Knife on vet is viable with WS Infil
why with infiltrate
also how come no one seems to melee? last three games i was the only one to do so
Bad players ...
vet mag dumping is fun and viable with scavenger
Infiltrate has the 30% increased damage for 10s after leaving stealth, a stagger when leaving stealth and replenishes all toughness including gold toughness.
not a vet specific question
heyo im pretty new to knife i heared flesh tearer and riposte + reciprocity were good for a crit build but im really not sure what perks i should run would anyone have any advice i have this partially made so far
this thing?
even more so for ogryn, psyker and zealot not so mcuh lol
Yeah
My bad I made a mistake
Nah it was my fault, there's so many buffs that are either 10s or 5s on vet jfnnd
Still with the increased swing speed, bleed, mercy killer and a lot of buffs turns the knife into a little blender for a few seconds but kind of have to just get used to the setting up
is that even worth over just having voc
still has for the emperor and clospe quarters killzone
and shorter cooldown
and also saves teammates potentially
Both can potentially save your teammates just depends on how you use infil.
Selfishly by running away? Or using it to stagger, and kill faster
using to stagger and kill faster sounds like voc to me
i was more referring to the over-toughness
Infiltrate also helps utility wise too for auspex, servoskull, getting someone up who got netted, pounced or downed.
Infiltrate has a lot of uses.
You can also flank gunners with it to go full aggression
Staggers gunners from shooting and forces them to run equals easy kills for the team
i still don't see how it does anything that voc doesn't do better
(which is sad, i want it to be a viable choice)
VoC is a great ability but you're also kind of sleeping on infiltrate. It has much better utility than VoC
I use it on my auric damn build
infiltrate allows you to pull off saves that are impossible by any other ability
i will grant that
even once made a setup around that with overwatch
so i can have 2 charges of "save anyone for free"
but that 1min cd is awful compared to voc
and it is even worse compared to zealot stealth
If you get the cooldown 6s ability it is trivial
And comparing it to zealot stealth is a bad idea
Both do different things under stealth. Zealot is to dish out horrendous damage on single targets and hunt bosses down
Stealth vet is utility
It's like comparing ranger bardin to shade kerillian
Both are stealth but do different things
comparing it to zealot stealth is perfectly acceptable
"makes you go invisible and go fast, potentially tankier"
only one of them has like a 5s cd
potentially, i should say
Slowly learning how to aim the revolver, if only it had higher zoom.
Ones an assassin the other is help the team do things.
It has a higher up time than base zealot as well
3s (6s with talent) compared to 8s
is this about the suppression when leaving stealth
Yeah it basically staggers enemies when leaving stealth
It's particularly good when flanking gunner/shooter groups
Stops them from beaming the team
That knife is tiny compared to the one in game
Lol
Like half the size jfjend
Still
ShAMk
Is mark 3 knife lol
Just viscously pounce a heretic and plant that thing in their face
maybe it's just that i haven't used infiltrate in forever
but i don't see it
pun not intended
It is slept on. Think of it as ranger bardins stealth, it isn't a assassin ability more so a control/utility ability
VoC is a support/control
VoC is just boring to use in my opinion because everyone veteran seems to went to drill sergeant school
I have a build with it but like. I only use it if there isn't someone with it already just to fill the niche.
VoC is used by everyone because honestly it is the only good one
exec stance is like.. i already have the Mk I Eyeball tyvm
Exe stance is okay
I do have a build with it that deletes monstrosity and ogryns quite aggressively.
I use it frequently too because it's fun to play off meta on auric and do good
infiltrate is for being a contrarian and rare voice lines
which is definitely a niche
i use voc when i play vet
neither of the others is particularly useful for a melee focus
which i guess no one does
Contrarion??
It's pretty solid tbh
solid compared to what exactly
If voc couldn't get reset so quick I'd dare say it's the best
Compared to VOC
Or even shroud that zealot has
voc staggers mass armor
Yeah Infil is a good ability just vastly overshadowed by meta pick VoC
zealot stealth can have almost permanent uptime
But I'm not a meta slave so I chose what feels fun to me and infil feels so fun to me.
Exec stance cowboy build does too and since I'm confident in my melee I don't need mass stagger when I can kill armor before it reaches the team
But just use what you feel comfy with
I simply enjoy Infil because it's fun to ME. And I use it effectively.
The end of the day the biggest thing I tell players is use what fits your playstyle rather than follow a meta.
It's certainly not a contrarion take though I'll way as much
It's certainly better than exe
Oh I ain't following a meta

But I get your point
Agripinaa stub revolver gang on top (I just want a little cleave fatshark pls)
it's not so much "needing" mass stagger as much as it is just helpful to send things to the floor
proficient in melee or not
VoC is a crutch
Use exec stance in auric maelstrom nfndnek
That was the first time I experimented with my cowboy build and it was effective until a fuCkIng PloGryN sent me flying off the ledge due to a wild spaw n.
VoC was a mistake
But then in that case infil would just be stagger but the enemies decide to go away from you
And right to your psyker
😌
Nah I understand VoC it's a good ability it's just overtuned because of the short CD
They nerfed it once ready from 100+ to 50+ and it still reigns the best ability
Infil is just cool and I always go for cool over optimization
I was after all a silly huntsman main
oi, which eye did you want this in?
It’ll be whatever is in VoC’s place
Infil’s pathing and talent tax still suck
i am disappointed
the commissar hat looks so lovely
but you gotta buy it through aquilas
can't even become a commissar :(
The one you obtain through penances will do
brothers
is it not
cosmetic change time
this shits been in the store for donkeys years
i agree.
my mum does not love you more 😠
🤬
fr though
when they gonna rotate some of this crap out the store
veteran has some horrendous cosmetics on the shop rn
There’s been a lot of horrendous cosmetics in the shop overall
Good thing I decided not to give fatshark any more money
like rotation's can be nice but not when the store is full of reskins. warframe is a good example
i also love how FS said "i know we gave console players enough aquilas to buy every cosmetic available, and didnt give PC players this, but for compensation, heres some ugly cosmetic items"
Full priced reskins
Fun fact: Console players could (and did) also get those by logging into pc
the veteran outfit they gave for compensation is terrible imo
im still waiting for the helmet in the trailers
lmao
its in the game, just not as cosmetic for players
the AI Bot in the advanced training has it on
they do FOMO for the store except most of it is shit
the other thing is when will FS fix the clipping on the back of the collar
4-6 months and no missions bro im dying
i really like darktide but its hard to replay recycled missions
a couple "new maps" were just a map already in game just you start at the opposite end
only thing i am willing to pay for are maccabian janissaries
i just want mm to be fixed i dont mind the fact that heresy difficulty flips to be more impossible then damnation i just want to go in a game with more then 3 other of the same class im playing as
i would be willing to buy
some good looking outfits (im a destiny player)
for some aquilas
HOWEVER
they gotta be good looking
idk
bunch of guys wearing recycled leather and scraps from the battlefield
we are the rejects scrap gear would make sense but like make it scap gear of more then just 2 units
yeah but come on
lets be real
the player character is also stupidly powerful for a reject
and were part of the inquisition
imo thats hardly an excuse to not add some good looking armour sets/outfits to the store
its absurd to charge 700+ aquilas for some plain leather trousers
we are also disposable... more disposable then most troops
idk man
it just dissapoints me when they charge real money for leather scraps and rags
true. but i baught the game on sale and only spent $50 in the store mostly for the psyker and zelot.
im not spending anymore untill i see some major improvments. i hope the update theyre talking about will make darktide less preditory
like, it's tempting to spend game on the money, i really like the "stahlhelm" in the shop rn
but it's real money
do i really need the item?
I'm just glad they put in a Mordant Acid Dogs lookalike set.
I have expendable money so cest la vie
I honestly hated this week's shop
guys how do i play this class
its like i use the boldgun allot and the power sword so of im going to buy something for that
vets is mostly 2 builds rn the high dps and the other gives everyone armor
Strongly recommend shifting some points around to fit in survivalist and take shreds
Well you gotta look at yourself and your financial situation and ask that for suure
It's all real money now a days
Weak spot damage is also very low value on recons due to their base finesse being dogshit
That deadshot on a recon las? gonna suck up stamina with that fire rate
And deadshot is seemingly good but you blow through your stamina super fast with the fire rate
Yep, they don’t have a permaghosting setup either
Well, besides hit and run but uh, not as great as ghost and they need damage blessings to help salvage their poor baseline
i was running survivalist but i couldn't fit in all the talents at the end
so you're sayin i can drop the 30% weakspot damage?
what is the best gun for a vet rn?
Plasma overall and ciag if you want an automatic
ciag?
Those guns are very poor ammo efficiency wise and even from a purely selfish perspective, it’s still the best aura
Columnus infantry auto gun
Highest automatic dps in the game currently
ok, thats the gun I normaly run
My build, no you can't convince me to trade 10% melee damage for the 10% attack speed
There is a good point to be made about attack speed. Attack more often, get crits and more attacks in rather than overall hitting harder but if you like the 10% extra damage you do you :)
I just love combining confirmed kill and out for blood, hardly any situation that toughness is an issue
what is permaghosting
Being able to easily maintain a permanent ranged dodge state
If you're insisting on taking deadshot then you should path through dnd at the very least for onslaught. But you need to dedicate your setup to that gimmick and they're not that great users for it.
Which means 3 +3 stam curios
Yes, you should if you're taking deadshot
i am not married to deadshot
i just wanted the crit synergy with the lasgun crits = no ammo spent
It's a sensible idea but in practice it takes a lot of investment to even leverage it decently well given how fast it blows stam
i usually just hipfire the gun
and ads vs a boss or something
but yeah i'm running a +3 stam and 2 tough curios and i'm out of stam a lot lol
deadshot also heavily benefits from stamina vs tagged targets in middle keystone
at least, on weapons where it's even worth taking to begin with lol
So the hipfire is above average, but ads is near perfectly accurate when not suppressed
So you end up losing value by hipfiring in the downtime between stamina regen
Which detracts from any benefit gained from using deadshot
ww
Darktide is one of the least predatory games on the market lol
None of the microtransactions affect gameplay at all
None of tue content, ie weapons, maps, etc is gated behind paywall
The cosmetics are very predatory though
I dont think they are any more predatory than anything else on the market
Look at diablo4 with their 70 dollar horse
I dont think having to pay for it is unfair lol
D4 is especially egregious but that doesn't mean you should consider anything below that to be "average"
It's a b2p game and it has less cosmetic access than f2p games
Would you rather have a $20-30 dlc pack
That comes with updates like the twins
Or would you rather have the cosmetic whales fund the game so everything else is free
The twins wasn't an expansion level of content
And they're probably going to do that anyway
I think the issue is
They were "discussing it internally" whether to charge for new dlc
As gamers, we're more like slowly boiled frogs
As we meet new and more bs ways of monetization
The older shit starts to look alright
Well i dont think the developers making money is fundamentally a bad thing
We can't be doing that
It's not, but at the same time
As long as the game remains good
It IS more predatory than other games that are even f2p
I don't think so
Just because it isn't the most money grubbing doesn't mean it's not bad
Warframe 
Warframe works too
I think warframes monetization is way worse
Than dt
Because it connects to the gameplay
You have to wait 3 days
To build shit iirc?
Unless you pay to skip
leeg is f2p and you can get free skins from it
you can also get cancer from league
Fully random tho
it balances out
Better than literally nothing
If you want a specific one
Idk i think leagues monetization is about the same as dt imo
Expensive cosmetics that dont afect gameplay
I think thats a win
Anyway Warframe has the ability to trade for its prem currency
Yeah
Its accessible
But i think the system is findamentally worse
Cuz its premium currency that does affect gameplay
Yeah nah, you can actually get skins for free with leeg from playing the game
Yes
Fully random though
So you still need to pay for skins you want
But at its core
I think its a good system
You can just get the skins you want eventually
Expensive mtx that doesnt affect gameplay
You can even get some stuff to wear in the meantime, assuming the things you want are loaded on the ass end
You need the shard which is random
There are people here in the discord like over 1000 hours in darktide or more
Yeah but who cares about cosmetics lol
I've played league, you can get a lot of free stuff
Uh huh, but again we're talking about predatory monetization
Even in similar games with the same kind of "buy skins" approach
Its purely cosmetic
It doesn't have to be p2w to be predatory
If you were coerced to buy it

Like wait 3 days or buy it
To skip
Or "this armor gives u 10% more hp"
Or "you have to grind or you can buy this battlepass to skip"
That's what i consider pred
You have a very different definition from other people
Being predatory is how you motivate people to buy it, not necessarily it's content
Although you can make it extra scummy by making it p2w
And then fomo garbage in addition to it
I dont think motivating people to buy content is predatory lol
For this, all fomo-ing the shop does is make it harder for people to get what they want to try and encourage splurge spending
Like if a game releases a dlc with very good content

That's an entirely different context
You're motivating people to buy it cuz it has good content
Whether it is good mtx or good gameplay
You're changing the topic to something else every time I try to point it out
I agree with you that the rotating shop is predatory

But i dont think the fundamental premise of having a cosmetic store with expensive skins is predatory
Especially when it doesnt affect gameplay at all
No it's not, that's not what I'm saying
But I should expect in a b2p game, there would be a means of earning "premium" currency
Yeah i think the game should prob be f2p at this point lol
Especually since its already on gamepass
Did they ever fix the exhilerating takedown bug
Yes they did.
okay thanks
Paying for the game and then getting this kind of service and you can't even earn the "premium" stuff
Rubs me the wrong way
Not even a scrap
Fair
I guess if they gave chests a small chance like 0.1% chance to spawn 3-5 aquilas
It'd prob feel much better
Im suprised fatshark hasnt released cosmetic bundles for this game like in vt2. Maybe once theres a fifth class/archetype in game.
Theyre swedish lol
They take vacation like 8 months out of a year
So its gonna be a while before 5th class
Or cosmetic bundles
Kruber grenade launcher will come out b4 darktide gets a 5th class
Not sure if they'll even do a 5th class tbh
how would they even go about subclass additions to what we have rn
Beastman convict class maybe?
Very unlikely to get a beastman considering they’re just shy of being outright classed as mutants in current year 40k
They aren’t even allowed in the guard anymore
And especially prone to chaos corruption
I’d say they’re likely to do a 5th class before we start getting subclass additions
A tech adept/servitor/skitarii is highly anticipated
We prob have a higher chance getting a blank as a 5th reject who debuffs allied psykers into oblivion than a beastman
My idea about beastman class comes from this. Idk if this is indicative of a chaos-touched fifth class, or perhaps this idea has been scrapped already
That insignia looks more indicative of some future mode than a 5th class tbh
Orthus offensive had 3 insignias each with more stuff than the last
Probably that, but I like to huff hopium sometimes.
Considering that’s the chaos star on that
I doubt it’d be anything for the rejects
Stealth Revolver Build has been fun
I don't usually run stealth but revolver freshens it up
I know inquisitors can get pretty radical but having a class walking around that’s actively displaying the star of chaos is a bit much
Who.
Rannick would just flex his Zarona skin again
Give me it
And if we're going that route it might be a daemonhost class
you rang?
it's a half star of chaos
so obviously it's an iron cross aura halo thing
totally legit, empra-sanctioned
Iron halo like only specialist high rank member can wear it
yep, SM captains and quistors and the like
and me, apparently
because I have access to the vanishingly rare and valuable commodity american greenbacks
The Iron Halo is part of the Space Marine Armoury. It is an ancient artifact, a special Honour Badge given to a Space Marine who has shown exceptional initiative or bravery on the battlefield. It incorporates a powerful conversion field, similar to the Rosarius or Refractor Field, that reinforces the resiliency of Power Armour, allowing them t...
Actual iron halos have a force field, that one is more just cosmetic
yeah actual halos are no joke
if you've seen the space marine shorts, the psykers the SMs fight have something akin to them
Psykers have psychic hoods, which are a different thing
Librarians have prominent ones, but even regular psykers wear them
oh I just meant visually in the context of the film

What are you speaking?
pretty sure those aren't actual iron halos in Astartes
"laughingstocks" good one
also!
since I just saw it in the related vids and hadn't seen it before
touches on the angels and the black rage
8.5/10
how these guys and gals make such kickass shorts with essentially nothing more than dawn of war models and animations is completely beyond me
Never got into these kind lore
double the recon, double the ammo consumption 
P90 bros
oh my god what is that. ive never seen this one and its really good
from when is this
that isnt part of the normal blood angels thing right? the black/white and red themed one
i dont remember that one looking even remotely as good as this and they fight tyranids in that one (gsc)
the recon brethren have taken over auric5 tonight 
I was making my recon build work earlier in high int damnation
Or maybe it was just because voc is op
Is Power Sword still meta? Am I bad if I wanna use Chainsword?
Power sword when built right can 1 shot most special and/or elites if you have brutal momentum with a melee build, chainsword can really put the hurt on maniacs especially mutants, and can help chew through heavy armor with it's special eviscerate ability
Yes
No
tyvm
As long as you're taking voc you're useful to the team, especially with survivalist.
I'd say that's more the build working despite you using it 
haha, it was indeed probably just survivalist and voc together
a few days ago i had the ultimate exectutors stance mg lasgun moment
that long train tunnel to the final water reservoir area to purge the water tanks of the plague
absolutely full of gunners and shooters of every kind
I think I'm gonna put together a tech adept class dossier
Fatshark plz read when I'm done and hire me
show

So far, just got a visual thing, and the Auras laid out
Tech Adept
The Tech Adept features a custom "backpack" with a mechanical "arm" coming out of it. The arm features two bits on it that are visually different according to which blitz and ability the Tech Adept has. Maybe even a specific color glow according to what aura too.
Auras
Chant of Bionic Endurance - Aura that grants 10 percent block efficiency.
Catechism of Consecrated Wargear - Aura that grants 10 percent block efficiency and 10 percent sprint efficiency. Upgrade to Catechism of Bionic Endurance
Praise of the Motive Force - Aura that grants 1 full stamina bar.
Stratagem of Binharic Offense - Aura that grants 5 percent Rending.

no idea, I just happened across it when I went to link the astartes project here
AH'D LUV ME A POCKITT SHOOTY WOT ELPS ME OLD BACK TH TIYDE
AH'D EVEN PROM- PRUMM- KEEP MUH WERD TA NOT EAT IM WHEN E DIES
Probably the worst auras in the game apart from rending, with rending having varying usefulness
Even ogryns melee heavy damage is at least particularly useful for the builds that take it
Loner as well has some niche in usefulness even if it's purely selfish
I would like mechanical arms for the tech adept that attack independently though
10 out of fragging 10
Karking Heretic killer out of 10
There’s actually some weight in the swing lmao
I could genuinely hurt someone with this kind of power……
I have a sudden urge to join the fight in Ukraine and clobber someone with this…..
That’s the spot
oh wow it has the antitank feature
Be a nice Shovel
You love to see it!
made another
i am now very officially out of plasteel
i guess that is what i get for fully rolling these
If you've got a different weapon to answer crushers with, I really like the chainsword
The IV at least
horde clear seems better than the power sword's
at least with my shitty power cycler 3
Bright side. This one can be saved somewhat
Perfect. I was absolutely going for useless Auras xD
Aura of sigvald. Allies gain 2% thoughness/s when looking at you 
Make it a Ogryn aura and you get yourself a meta Aura 
Bruh I hate it when the bot triggers the DH.
Not when it ends the run two minutes in lol.
Jumped in a quick play with bots.
As soon as we walked into a room with five crushers the DH gets pissed off and I get corrupted because it brings it near me.
Rather have a run die early than late
I rather the run not fail at all. Everyone else joined in as we got swarmed.
The real kicker is the server ate shit and I was just booted out anyways.
Making the endeavor pointless.
I prefer a run to survive, but sometimes the director will say "Die"
Plasma actually, so that feels good
Yeah that's how i do it too
I need to make a good chainsword.
Just missing rampage but Hadron for whatever reason hates me.
that some luck
tried out chainaxe today
it kills elites with alarming efficiency
everything else notsomuch
finally got make every shot count
emperor bless the two ogryns who covered me and the veteran who sniped my marks
Congrats
🤔 cant you just cheese it by dying then shooting a few shots and switching to melee?
Doesn't work like that
You have to end the mission with 90%+ accuracy and firing every shot (Note: Emptying your gun and never switching back to it if there is a Survivalist vet still counts)
They patched out all the cheese methods iirc so you have to do it legit
I won't fault many vets if that is their last challenge they have to do
Anyone know what the max penance points are?
Feels like I'm getting less for the last few penances left.
There's still a slight way to cheese
Jump off a cliff
Respawn with half your ammo already gone

Either my skills are degrading rapidly
Or the director AI seems to be a bit more…dickish…lately
Its the former, you should seek medical attention
its the latter, the director should seek medical attention
It is both, both of you should seek medical attention
Also how do people hit snipers with Brauto :/
accuracy through volume
Fair, it’s just I have been outsniped once or twice..though it is also due to me in a horde.
Kinda miss ADS from AIAG
if it was a zealot, they might've been using the talent that gives -75% spread on dodge
agri brauto has a pretty accurate hipfire
Single tap lmb, crouching helps
yeah, brauto has the tightest spread when crouched and braced
Snipping across map to kill sniper
heresy
it's called braced AUTO for a reason
Thoughts on Weapon Specialist keystone? The swapping one
Strong with partial reload weapons
Pretty simple . Crouch and mag dump . From 40 50 bullets 2 for sure is gonna hit

Seems like it goes okay with plasma if you don't bother with the reload nodes. Good swap speed, could always use more ammo loaded. Seems good
Coming to vet as a zealot main so I like lots of melee anyway
Juggle weapons that have a quick draw in melee for the most bang for your buck
Plasma generally goes better with left & middle trees
Plasma goes well with eveey build
Plasma just good
Next Thursday
Switched back to Agri IAG
Much as I appreciate the power behind Brautos I just…somehow tend to do a bit better with an IAG lol
the secret to braced iag is just holding down the lmb the entire match
Iag's have more potential dps with headshots and also don't suck with accuracy
So engaging things at range leads to less of a sharp performance loss
Ciag is also very overtuned
Right now using AIAG but yea, need a CIAG at some point
bruh they have been on the current rotation for too long
i think it should be weekly
It shouldn't be a rotating fomo store to begin with 
It rotates every 2 weeks
yeah I know, it just feels that way
fomo store sucks
i feel like the better stuff would just sell more
Yea
How else are they going to sell spending addicts low quality garbage if they keep the good stuff around all the time
Whats the best melee weapon for veteran?
Depends on what ur looking for
God roll Rashad combat axe, good roll mk6 powersword, any of the devil claws if you use helbor for bigger targets. Either knife would be good since mobility is survivability
Personally, top 3 are
Mk2 combat axe
Mk6 power sword
Mk7 sapper shovel
Knives have middling horde clear just fyi
I just made this one
Not very good unfortunately
Mk7 shovel needs uncanny strike + thrust + carapace perk
could've fooled me, i thought it was negative
is this good?
thats a very nice voidstrike staff
thanks i grew it myself
Volatile is not great
with what could i replace it with?
Id keep it as is for now none of your blessings/perks are so bad that they have to be changed so you might need to play with it for a bit to see what it needs
Itll likely need flak dmg tho since your base dmg is low to 1hit flak gunners
i'll try it
Decent blessings, Solid Perks, Ouch on the Damage
But it is usable out of the box
so is this at least decent?
Can probably move some points around
Such as moving from Kraks to Frags. Plasma can easily deal with Crushers with no real issues
Frags helps with Swarms, do solid CC and clear some space for revives if your Stealth is on cool down
You really don't need onslaught at all with the Plasma (I'm assuming you're using it)
yea i am
You don't need 3 points to onslaught at all
yea you can swap out those points for sure
but they're kraked
the only thing they are really "great" at is oneshotting a bulwark
their aoe sucks and in every situation where your gun wont help you the shredders are just much better
especially with grenade regen from demolition team
Smoke grenades is where its at right?
That's cold ass take
i often get front for that take thats why lol
Iron will is a great skill to grab as you get insane amount of TDR as you maintain high toughness which for a Vet is generally easy to do
Shredder grenades is the most common taken grenade
For it's crowd control
Usually, no
Smoke and Kraks are niche
change volatile for blaze away
Can't be "in general" because bosses exist
nah if you cant deal with bosses without kraks thats a player issue
what about out for blood? since i have the points for that too now
What weapons are you trying to use
plazma and a chain axe leme get what spacfic one
I guess you are only dealing with heavys?
What difficulty are you mainly playing rn
man fkn hadron bricked another gun i crafted
herecy when am alone and dam when i play with a friend
Pray more to the Omnissiah.
Chainaxes have cleave?
Nah I don't like how "player issue" is used, because that can be used to justify krak
Or just not craft tell new crafting overhaul.
This is really not that great
Low cleave
Bad at Krak, player issue ...and on and on
i know :(
I used kraks for my stealth vet because point cost
Plus I got 3 of them
Smokes could be more economic but I'd lose probably the only reliable crusher killer on the build
rip
This is salvageable
Shattering -> gets hot
Unarmored -> elite
That’s a perfectly fine plasma
not getting blaze away is pretty cringe
Gloryhunter is pretty strong for plasma
maybe with executioner
Not really
otherwise theres no point
It’s just a strong blessing all around
Blaze away doesn’t really change breakpoints for a lot of enemies
Yeah blaze isn't consistent for breakpoints, it's mostly extra cleave when spamming
But hitting carapace just blocks cleave anyways
Against stuff u can cleave blaze away doesn’t really give u notable breakpoints
Cursed reddit loadouts 
I see those headhunter guns with those rolls all the time
Causes me physical pain to look at all the gooby loadouts people are taking in aurics
fixable? I was thinking about turning it into a corny flechette shotgun
headhunter guns need a rework or something
theres just no real point in playing them over the other available options unless you are role playing
I agree buff vraks 7
3/4 bricked, I’d just sell/harvest
same with recons and braced autos
Vraks 3 and 7 are good, just overshadowed by plasma
I should get 4+ ammo after 1 tapping with it instead of 1
Agri HH definitely needs adjustment because it's just worse than the other two
agri hh def needs fixing, it still has wonky recoil and sometimes only shoots once b/c fatshark forgot its in the game
remember launch vraks 3 with the ripper level recoil lmao
Brautos could use some actually not shit spread when braced, but their dps is usually pretty great (columnus brauto is the worst though)
its the same with the aggrippina autogun 1 or something just a bad weapon with bad ammo efficiency
Why pick Vraks 7 if hellbore does it better
got a really really good one its just not worth it though
Agri IAG is about the same dps as the graia iag
doesn't have a wack ass swap time
They're also overshadowed by the ciag
Good point
its like the same with laserpistols
professional soldier struggles to find the on-switch
This one
cause especially in high density crowd situations most of these special snowflake 1 hit weapons just suck ass
Laspistol have decent ammo efficiency, good lmb and work well with crit builds
Laspistols are premiere headclickers, like the knife equivalent of ranged weapons
idk i never ever have issues with ammo
Their dps is pretty good but high requirement for aim
its pretty mcuh impossible with survivalist
I mean they have good ammo efficiency on classes not running the most bloated aura in the game too lol
Eh, laspistol ammo efficiency isn't exactly a strong suit. They're much weaker on that end than infantry lasguns
I need to play more with the heavy pistol
yeah but everytihng they can do the lasrifle / plasma or evel revolver does better
thats the issue
unless you are role playing theres just no need for other weapons sadly
or rather a justification
nah laspistols don't suffer from suppression like las rifles
Plasma & revolver yes
Other lasguns no
better hipfire and swap time
Revolver/plasma/ciag are definitely above average
the pistols got more mobility and stuff but idk
and even the revolver is kinda ass vs big spawns
i often feel like all these sniper esque weapons just fail in this type of game / horde shooters
Single shot weapons are generally doing better than automatics
idk I have a relatively high tolerance for mediocre guns in this game but vraks7 in its current iteration always does great for me
I recently made a crusty MF build with new laspistol, I'm not gonna pretend its amazing but I'm having a good time with it
i try to love my pretty much godroll recon las guns
but sadly they are all just trash x)
even with executioner they just tickle
Recon lasguns are overall undertuned
Most semi auto weapons in this game are pretty good
they are good for role playing atleast
Plasma, revolver and mk5 IAG are overtuned
yeah they're on the low end and even then they're better than agri hh
Most of them really aren’t
no I'm pretty sure plasma lmb that doesn't even fucking overheat probably doesn't need to cleave 6 ragers or w/e
rather buff the weaker ones than nerf the strong guns
Plasma, revolver and mk5 IAG all need nerfs no question
I love buffs but at some point you're just cycling in another ciag
Doesn’t have to be strict dmg nerfs
Plasma is a bit too easy currently in the hands of a good player
yeah like revolver was ass for so long, just hit the cleave a bit
Other things definitely do need buffs though
plasma just needs lmb wacked
(Recons, autopistol)
yeah bring back old shredder, fuck it imo
problem being that the other classes are just much better at dealing damage then in comparison lol
well, old but not launch shredder
Not really?
