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

# tall torrent Swap carapace to elite and that’s a godroll right there

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.

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

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

runic grove
#

i have a boltgun with unarmoured and reload speed, what should i change?

odd sparrow
#

Change reload. Unarmored helps with hitting 1hit BP on dreg(yellow robe) gunners

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?

final stag
#

Yes

agile forge
#

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

final stag
#

PS is just turn brain off mode.

agile forge
#

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

final stag
#

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.

umbral scaffold
#

I've taken a liking to the pickaxe shovel on vet.

final stag
#

Pickaxe shovel fucks

#

Allows me to one shot most nuisances

#

And has some decent horde clear, worse than the standard but it is there.

odd sparrow
#

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

final stag
#

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.

high geode
#

Not investing any crafting mats until im 30

agile forge
#

Which revolver?

#

Agri or zarona?

high geode
#

the big boom one, not speed load

agile forge
#

if you use one maybe try the other too

high geode
#

i never remember names

agile forge
#

Zarona is the slow reload one

final stag
#

Zarona is slow shot
Agri is fan fire

agile forge
#

The trouble with the zarona is that it's probably the worst ranged weapon for clearing trash shooters

final stag
#

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

agile forge
#

but it's probably the best for elites/specials

final stag
#

Only downside with zarona is reloading during stressful situations. But vet has like several ways to get reload speed times a million

muted knot
#

Zarona is leagues better than agri sadly

final stag
#

If agri pierced I think it would up it's viability but yeah it simply is trumped

muted knot
#

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

final stag
#

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 :,)

so i wanted to try opening salvo on my mg12

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

Tactical retreat is not visiting the health station before the previous one

#

Oh well, I should just not die if i want to complain

agile forge
#

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

wanton dawn
#

Yeah, not for the 5min after

#

Oh well, he probably got a full reset cuz everyone left so I guess it is a win ?

Something like this. Is it nonsense?

tall torrent
outer wolf
#

Shovel (standard) + Zarona

tall torrent
#

Consider weapon specialist keystone?

#

Standard shovel is also not the greatest rn

outer wolf
gray finch
#

but its hard dependent on your weapons choice

#

also i would consider going rending strike instead dmg on ogryns

elder fiber
#

you probs want uncanny on og shovel so that rending isn't gonna do a ton

tall torrent
#

Standard shovel is somewhat outperformed by Mk7 right now

elder fiber
#

and good zarona is gonna have hand cannon so not doing much there either

tall torrent
#

Probably needs a boost

elder fiber
#

idk its totally usable as a weapon

tall torrent
#

It’s usable for sure

pliant sentinel

Do not diss the power sword

elder fiber

not everything needs to be 100% perfect balance with each other (please nerf cleave on plasma and zarona lmb tho lol)

pliant sentinel
#

All I'm saying is

#

the plasma gun is lore accurate rn

tame lodge
#

Don't worry, when they release melta weapons they are going to change plasma to suck against armor

elder fiber
#

lmao lore accuracy in darktide

#

if it were lore accurate it would explode randomly

tall torrent
#

It’s not lore accurate because it doesn’t blow up enough of the time

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves

Game balance is always more important than “lore accuracy” especially when the lore is as fluid as it can be

i imagine something like a mid-tier power sword needs an external battery connected to the hilt to stay activated

tame lodge

Backpack powered

sharp ember
#

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

#

To also be fair about the rejects, didn't Cain like
1v1 a khorne berserker and win?

tall torrent
#

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

final stag
#

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

#

"THE KILLING NEVER ENDS!"

drowsy aspen
#

...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

frank basin
#

What hurt world eater?

drowsy aspen
#

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

frank basin
#

Sound like distraction before world eater destroy cadia

drowsy aspen
#

The khornate cultists are landing and he's with the Valhallans

final stag
#

Still
It's a feat of itself fndnne

#

Cain had some massive plot armor but it is Warhammer so

drowsy aspen
#

...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

frank basin
#

Is world eater a entity or a pirmarch?

fast sundial
frank basin
#

Ah

fast sundial
#

anyway, why do people like knife?

#

after trying it i feel it is serviceable but not remarkable

frank basin
#

Turbo shank

fast sundial
#

but the damage sucketh

final stag
#

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

fast sundial
#

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

frank basin
#

I think people use knife like mercy killer and serrated blade with uncanny strike

fast sundial
#

that's exactly what i am currently running

#

it feels awful

final stag
#

How's your build look then
Because my knife is very effective at everything besides ragers but I have a gun for them

final stag
#

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.

#

you can make it do some bonkers stuff but ehhhh it's mostly about the fun factor, people like speed

fast sundial
#

mercy killer is a silly blessing

frank basin
#

Hit on head and they’ll die

fast sundial
#

on the followup perhaps

final stag
#

Most times you can simply insta kill most enemies with a headshot

fast sundial
#

and it requires me to pick serrated blade

#

to even make use of it

final stag
#

It also saves a blessing slot on the knife for uncanny

fast sundial
#

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

final stag
#

Probably not your weapon but I do spectacular with it

fast sundial
#

i mean, vet is also not my class

final stag
#

Fair

fast sundial
#

but i wanted to experiment with weapon spec + revolver

frank basin
#

Shotgun weapon spec

final stag
#

I play like every class but if I had to label it

Vet
Psyker
Ogryn
Zealot

fast sundial
#

the revolver part is ok

final stag
#

Gotta juggle the knife and revolver in melee

fast sundial
#

but i probably should not bring a short blade to a longblade fight

final stag
#

Get kind of good at juggling weapons with WS

frank basin
fast sundial
#

i have at some point played every class

#

i label vet as "okay"

final stag
#

I have like everyone level 30
And deleted character to get them to level 30 again

fast sundial
#

i'm just thinking if i am doing all this juggling just to make knife somewhat alright

#

why not just use an actual weapon

final stag
#

Vet is more jack of all trades archetype
They do everything well but that's it, the other archetypes do a specific thing GOOD

fast sundial
#

maybe agile engagement can be enough to activate combat axe silliness

final stag
#

I am quite the enjoyer of shovels and shivs

fast sundial
#

i am not at all interested in shovels

final stag
#

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

fast sundial
#

why with infiltrate

#

also how come no one seems to melee? last three games i was the only one to do so

fast sundial
#

it's just so strange to see

#

not even the zealot and ogryn used melee

crude fiber
final stag
# fast sundial why with infiltrate

Infiltrate has the 30% increased damage for 10s after leaving stealth, a stagger when leaving stealth and replenishes all toughness including gold toughness.

fast sundial
zinc surge
#

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

crude fiber
final stag
fast sundial
#

5 = 10 actually?

#

fatshark classics again?

final stag
#

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

fast sundial
#

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

final stag
#

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

fast sundial
#

using to stagger and kill faster sounds like voc to me

#

i was more referring to the over-toughness

final stag
#

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

fast sundial
#

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)

final stag
#

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

fast sundial
#

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

final stag
#

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

fast sundial
#

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

umbral scaffold
#

Slowly learning how to aim the revolver, if only it had higher zoom.

final stag
#

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

fast sundial
#

is this about the suppression when leaving stealth

final stag
#

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

final stag
#

Just viscously pounce a heretic and plant that thing in their face

fast sundial
#

maybe it's just that i haven't used infiltrate in forever

#

but i don't see it

#

pun not intended

final stag
#

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.

fast sundial
#

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

final stag
#

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

fast sundial
#

infiltrate is for being a contrarian and rare voice lines

#

which is definitely a niche

final stag
#

I use infiltrate because I feel badass 😎

#

I use exe when I feel cowboy 🤠

fast sundial
#

i use voc when i play vet

#

neither of the others is particularly useful for a melee focus

#

which i guess no one does

terse idol
#

It's pretty solid tbh

fast sundial
#

solid compared to what exactly

terse idol
#

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

fast sundial
#

voc staggers mass armor

final stag
#

Yeah Infil is a good ability just vastly overshadowed by meta pick VoC

fast sundial
#

zealot stealth can have almost permanent uptime

final stag
#

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.

terse idol
#

It's certainly better than exe

terse idol
#

But I get your point

VoC was a mistake

#

Infil would be bis if voc wasn't here

#

Blehh

terse idol
#

And right to your psyker

#

😌

final stag
#

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

and stuff

final locust

lets be real

prisma herald
#

yes

#

all you need to say

#

lol

final locust
#

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

swift minnow
final locust
#

it just dissapoints me when they charge real money for leather scraps and rags

swift minnow
#

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

prisma herald
#

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?

#

with the VId lasgun

junior needle
#

Strongly recommend shifting some points around to fit in survivalist and take shreds

terse idol
#

It's all real money now a days

junior needle
#

Weak spot damage is also very low value on recons due to their base finesse being dogshit

kind otter
#

That deadshot on a recon las? gonna suck up stamina with that fire rate

junior needle
#

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

tropic stratus
#

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?

daring jungle
#

what is the best gun for a vet rn?

junior needle
daring jungle
#

ciag?

junior needle
#

Columnus infantry auto gun

#

Highest automatic dps in the game currently

daring jungle
#

ok, thats the gun I normaly run

kind otter
#

My build, no you can't convince me to trade 10% melee damage for the 10% attack speed

final stag
#

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 :)

kind otter
#

I just love combining confirmed kill and out for blood, hardly any situation that toughness is an issue

tropic stratus

junior needle
# tropic stratus i'm running this right now

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

tropic stratus
#

i have onslaught in my build

#

i didn't take duck n dive

junior needle
#

Yes, you should if you're taking deadshot

tropic stratus
#

i am not married to deadshot

#

i just wanted the crit synergy with the lasgun crits = no ammo spent

junior needle
#

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

tropic stratus
#

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

elder fiber
#

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

junior needle
#

So you end up losing value by hipfiring in the downtime between stamina regen

#

Which detracts from any benefit gained from using deadshot

raw steppe
#

None of the microtransactions affect gameplay at all

#

None of tue content, ie weapons, maps, etc is gated behind paywall

junior needle
#

The cosmetics are very predatory though

raw steppe
#

I dont think they are any more predatory than anything else on the market

#

Look at diablo4 with their 70 dollar horse

junior needle
#

Fomo shop AND no way to get premium currency?

#

And overpriced clipping cosmetics

raw steppe
#

I dont think having to pay for it is unfair lol

junior needle
#

D4 is especially egregious but that doesn't mean you should consider anything below that to be "average"

raw steppe
#

Id rather have expensive mtx

#

And free game updates

junior needle
#

It's a b2p game and it has less cosmetic access than f2p games

raw steppe
#

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

junior needle
#

The twins wasn't an expansion level of content

#

And they're probably going to do that anyway

midnight totem
#

I think the issue is

junior needle
#

They were "discussing it internally" whether to charge for new dlc

midnight totem
#

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

raw steppe
#

Well i dont think the developers making money is fundamentally a bad thing

midnight totem
#

We can't be doing that

junior needle
#

It's not, but at the same time

raw steppe
#

As long as the game remains good

junior needle
#

It IS more predatory than other games that are even f2p

raw steppe
#

I don't think so

junior needle
#

Just because it isn't the most money grubbing doesn't mean it's not bad

raw steppe
#

Like for example

#

Lets look at other f2p games

#

Maplestory for example

junior needle
#

Maplestory KEKW_ogryn

#

Of all things

raw steppe
#

Ok lets pick another

#

Is fortnite f2p?

midnight totem
#

Warframe KEKW_ogryn

raw steppe
#

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

junior needle
#

leeg is f2p and you can get free skins from it

midnight totem
#

you can also get cancer from league

raw steppe
#

Fully random tho

midnight totem
#

it balances out

raw steppe
#

So you have to py

#

Pay

junior needle
#

Better than literally nothing

raw steppe
#

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

midnight totem
#

Anyway Warframe has the ability to trade for its prem currency

raw steppe
#

Yeah

#

Its accessible

#

But i think the system is findamentally worse

#

Cuz its premium currency that does affect gameplay

junior needle
#

Yeah nah, you can actually get skins for free with leeg from playing the game

raw steppe
#

Yes

#

Fully random though

#

So you still need to pay for skins you want

#

But at its core

#

I think its a good system

junior needle
#

You can just get the skins you want eventually

raw steppe
#

Expensive mtx that doesnt affect gameplay

junior needle
#

You can even get some stuff to wear in the meantime, assuming the things you want are loaded on the ass end

raw steppe
junior needle
#

There are people here in the discord like over 1000 hours in darktide or more

raw steppe
#

Yeah but who cares about cosmetics lol

junior needle
#

I've played league, you can get a lot of free stuff

raw steppe
#

It doesnt affect gameplay

#

And I'm playing dt for the gameplay

junior needle
#

Uh huh, but again we're talking about predatory monetization

raw steppe
#

I dont think the monetization is predatory

#

At apl

junior needle
#

Even in similar games with the same kind of "buy skins" approach

raw steppe
#

Its purely cosmetic

junior needle
#

It doesn't have to be p2w to be predatory

raw steppe
#

If you were coerced to buy it

junior needle
raw steppe
#

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

junior needle
#

I'd much rather have to grind to get something, than not ever get it ever

raw steppe
#

Yeah i don't consider paid content predatory

#

If it doesn't do those things

junior needle
#

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

raw steppe
#

I dont think motivating people to buy content is predatory lol

junior needle
#

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

raw steppe
#

Like if a game releases a dlc with very good content

junior needle
raw steppe
#

But it costs $20

#

Is that predatory?

junior needle
#

That's an entirely different context

raw steppe
#

You're motivating people to buy it cuz it has good content

#

Whether it is good mtx or good gameplay

junior needle
#

You're changing the topic to something else every time I try to point it out

raw steppe
#

I agree with you that the rotating shop is predatory

junior needle
raw steppe
#

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

junior needle
#

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

raw steppe
#

Yeah i think the game should prob be f2p at this point lol

#

Especually since its already on gamepass

unkempt island
#

Did they ever fix the exhilerating takedown bug

hybrid torrent
unkempt island
#

okay thanks

junior needle
#

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

raw steppe
#

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

hybrid torrent

tall torrent
#

how would they even go about subclass additions to what we have rn

hybrid torrent
junior needle
#

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

raw steppe
#

Maybe sister

#

That's kinda like a zealot psyker hybrid

tall torrent
hybrid torrent
#

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

tall torrent
#

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

hybrid torrent
#

Probably that, but I like to huff hopium sometimes.

junior needle
#

Considering that’s the chaos star on that

#

I doubt it’d be anything for the rejects

Can probably move some points around

Such as moving from Kraks to Frags. Plasma can easily deal with Crushers with no real issues

#

Why pick Vraks 7 if hellbore does it better

shy maple
#

got a really really good one its just not worth it though

junior needle
#

Agri IAG is about the same dps as the graia iag

elder fiber
junior needle
#

They're also overshadowed by the ciag

tame lodge
#

Good point

shy maple
#

its like the same with laserpistols

potent iris
shy maple
#

whats their point

#

they kinda need to carve out some niches for each weapon type

tame lodge
shy maple
#

cause especially in high density crowd situations most of these special snowflake 1 hit weapons just suck ass

elder fiber
#

Laspistol have decent ammo efficiency, good lmb and work well with crit builds

junior needle
#

Laspistols are premiere headclickers, like the knife equivalent of ranged weapons

shy maple
#

idk i never ever have issues with ammo

junior needle
#

Their dps is pretty good but high requirement for aim

shy maple
#

its pretty mcuh impossible with survivalist

elder fiber
#

I mean they have good ammo efficiency on classes not running the most bloated aura in the game too lol

junior needle
#

Eh, laspistol ammo efficiency isn't exactly a strong suit. They're much weaker on that end than infantry lasguns

tame lodge
#

I need to play more with the heavy pistol

shy maple
#

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

elder fiber
#

nah laspistols don't suffer from suppression like las rifles

tall torrent
elder fiber
#

better hipfire and swap time

junior needle
#

Revolver/plasma/ciag are definitely above average

shy maple
#

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

junior needle
#

Single shot weapons are generally doing better than automatics

elder fiber
#

idk I have a relatively high tolerance for mediocre guns in this game but vraks7 in its current iteration always does great for me

elder fiber
shy maple
#

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

tall torrent
#

Recon lasguns are overall undertuned

#

Most semi auto weapons in this game are pretty good

shy maple
#

they are good for role playing atleast

tall torrent
#

Plasma, revolver and mk5 IAG are overtuned

elder fiber
#

yeah they're on the low end and even then they're better than agri hh

shy maple
#

rather the other weapons are undertuned

#

ngl

#

no I'm pretty sure plasma lmb that doesn't even fucking overheat probably doesn't need to cleave 6 ragers or w/e

shy maple
#

rather buff the weaker ones than nerf the strong guns

tall torrent
#

Plasma, revolver and mk5 IAG all need nerfs no question

elder fiber
#

I love buffs but at some point you're just cycling in another ciag

tall torrent
#

Doesn’t have to be strict dmg nerfs

junior needle
#

Plasma is a bit too easy currently in the hands of a good player

elder fiber
#

yeah like revolver was ass for so long, just hit the cleave a bit

junior needle
#

Other things definitely do need buffs though

elder fiber
#

plasma just needs lmb wacked

junior needle
#

(Recons, autopistol)

elder fiber
#

yeah bring back old shredder, fuck it imo

shy maple
#

problem being that the other classes are just much better at dealing damage then in comparison lol

elder fiber
#

well, old but not launch shredder
