I always assumed it was its mouth
Yeah that's center mass jfjdjd
Cs also move so aggrivaringly awkward that shooting at weakpoint isn't worth
Just unload on the bitch and call it a day
it could be worse thoght talking papa's stuff
That's like a greater daemon
We'd be fucked if we faced one (they'd probably shit on us and that would traumatize me)
no it's a chaos spawn, greater deamons are different
If some Bretonian nonce could take it I certainly can
Kinda looks like a great unclean one
Kidding. It'd probably breathe on me then I'd die of super aids
That's strictly named space marine territory
your standard great unclean one
Nah average blokes can kill some pretty gnarly stuff
Maybe through sheer luck but whatever
Sheer luck, bit of the Emperor's favor, and a lot of cajones
Plasma gun any good?
Probably best veteran gun
Honestly yeah it's probably the strongest Vet weapon right now with only maybe the Columnus Infantry Autogun and Agripina Mk II Revolver competing with it
I'd still say it's leagues ahead of the revolver too
Competing?
That good? Damn
Those guns hardly hold a candle to plasma gun
It's 1st place
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
2nd place revolver!
You mean the zarona
Agri still is sexy
Zarona Mk II revolver is really, really good and also funny on melee vets who like weapon specialist
Been using the Rashad on my melee vet
Feels so nice to lop off like 3 heads in one swing
Agri has that cowboy feel
And I love it
Quickdraw is funny for Big Iron memes
I think of it like the masterwork pistol
It does dummy damage to bosses
I think in my humble opinion it's the best boss dps weapon.
I got pissed trying to long distance snipe a sniper or gunner behind cover though
I did it here I think I have a clip fnfn
Strap a run and gun to it
I only recently discovered how good the Rashad axe is after playing Zealot a bunch
Nice
I need a good Rashad axe on my Vet
Idk if this helps but
If you put HUD scale on lowest (50%), you get smaller crosshairs
Not my preferred weapon for it though sadly
Rashad fucks on melee vet fnndnd
Made hipfire weapons a lot easier to aim with for me
I've bricked 7 revolvers trying to get a good one with both surgical and hand cannon
Agri wants crucian+handcannon
Hadron giveth but she mostly taketh away 
I’ve bricked 41 DC swords to get a decent DC7
Unyielding+flak is also perks I try to go with it since it's main purpose in life is to delete big targets hfndn
The current one I use has crucial 4 and handcannon 4. It's good enough lol

It actually works fine with melee vet anyway since I guarantee first shot crits with weapon specialist
I love WS
Truly the Arizona Ranger coming to town
I am the Arizona ranger
At least I have this
The atoman ranger
My cowboy build
The Atoman Ranger
Prob wear savlar coat
I'm either insane or that blessing actually reduce spread
how high is the base crit rate for that weapon
Definitely but when cowboy hat
I made mine look Falloutishly
I don’t think any of the melee weapons besides tac axe and knife have innate crit chance bonuses
what are the breakpoints for Lucius mk II ? unarmored, flak, maniac?
Unarmored + maniac
If you use the Scion helmet with the Salvar coat you get something resembling the FNV NCR Rangers
cant be used on my cd zealot
I like the gas mask better fnndbj
It also has resemblance to a ranger
Gas mask is very nice yeah
I'm a fan of running off meta
I still think @tame minnow should give the agripinaa revolver a little bit of cleave so you can shoot through allies
Flak is acceptable but maniac + unarmored is the best all-around for HB2
Flak gives u scab rager 1HS
get rid of the agripinaa revolver entirely and put its fan the hammer on the zarona special attack and give zarona a speedloader reload >:)
cuz it's not good enough already
Maniac gives u more consistent trapper 1 hit, 1 crit headshot both flamers, and 2 bayonet weakspot stab mutant
It’s just higher value than flak generally speaking
Unarmored is for dreg gunner 1HS
That would be cancer. Shooting fucking boulders at high speed would delete anything
Does agri have an innate crit chance because I feel like it does. It crits often.
the plasma gun would finally have competition
Which Agripinaa
Mk14 revolver?
Agri stub revolver
It's like having a pocket rock ogryn
All revolver have crit bonus roll
Oh nice
O h
Veteran innate is 5%
No wonder agri deletes bosses quick. It crits all the fucking time in a quick succession
31 with the vet crit node
Deadshot adds 25% more
Along with handcannon smh
Then force a psyker to run crit aura
And crucian which adds another like 5% ever shot
I can smell it from here
So another 5%
I still wouldn't crit
So after two shots all your shots are guaranteed to crit
Crucian IV is 6% for every shot expended
Crucian 4 is 6 percent
Not exactly because weapon specialist only works for 1 shot
But it’s generally somewhere in the 60~70% crit chance range
Max bonus you can get off it is 24
That's a lot of crits
It’s not as funny as Boltgun zealot but it’s good
Jfjdjd
Also if you pause reloading on a zarona
Cowboy vet and wizard cowboy
You get the level of Crucian it should be at
what in the world was this. i played the full match and the "russian" spoke like 3 times total
Crucian needs buff still imo
Crucian needs to be at least 1 percent per bullet for the headhunters
At least 7 or 8 percent on the revolvers
renegadkaya was the only reason we managed to win. god-tier plasvet, and jesus was just... doing stuff? i dunno. i was doing hammer zealot and they were doing chainsword zealot. no clue what i was doing but even less of a clue what they were doing
BlUr out tHe nAmesFasT
why? so the xenophobe is protected?
We can't post other people's names on this discord 😔
Nfnsnd
Not anyone's gamertag or name
It's on the rules jfjsn
I accidentally did it too
panic
rules, to me, are always very common sense. don't harrass people, don't advertise other servers, don't post nsfw into non-nsfw, the works...
Yeah but they have a no witch hunting policy here
I didn't know either lmaoooo
Though agreed. Fuck the xenophobe 🗣
We can't witch hunt
Leave that to vermintide server, they've got witch hunters in fantasy
I love Warhammer fantasy sm
My pfp was my Warhammer fantasy role-playing game character
Brigand turned State trooper
do you have one of those graphics with breaking points for the Standard-issue Shovel?
One sec
Made a mistake on limbsplitter, it’s every 5/4.5/4/3.5s
But everything else should be right
the definition of insanity
I would cry fhdjd
Quick question
Is there a way to find out what melk and brunt is selling without starting up the game?
Imagine being the heretics guarding you and they just hear constantly yelling Vacuum capsule
I'd fear the rejects too
The only reject the Heretics would really fear is a Ogryn and the Zealot
I dunno if I saw some average schmuck lopping off 3 heads then sniping my sniper with a shotgun I'd fear them too
And a psyker is a wizard that makes heads disappear sooo
Crazy? I was crazy once
They put me in a room
A rubber room
a rubber room with vacuum capsules
Cries
Tried using the plasma gun a couple runs, I’m not sure I like it much
The damage output is decent but aiming it is a pain and the reload is abysmal
It's something you get used to over time with aiming
I know it's powerful. I just dislike it too. Isn't my favorite weapon of all time fjndjd.
I got an exalted Columnus, should I try that? I think I read earlier it’s pretty good
It's pretty good. Again at low levels you should try out everything to see what fits your preferences
^^
It'll give you a control space to get a feel for the weapon
Test it's combos and special
Only builds should be thrown out into the real missions 
I test builds in real missions without truly testing them because im impatient ntndnd
Thats like the 10th 379 gun I have to throw on my vet coz my blessings are shit 😦
Hadron being Hadron as usual
I roll with the punches
I did test out the Rashad with brutal momentum in the meat grinder yesterday because I was like
If this doesn't work in a real game I'll be a REAL liability but it works extremely well
These are some of the weapons I have from my Vet that I built over time and gotten lucky with
God how I would love to name my weapons :(
I have a mod that lets me name weapons
Helps when you have a big inventory of them so don't sell it off by accident
So true plus it feels badass to have a personal weapon to slay heretics
Do you know which axe is what its best at
What
I’m not sure I know what u mean
Which axe is the best
Rashad mk2
like out of these 3 which one would you say is better
Rashad fhndnd
thank you 
Rashad is actually one of the strongest melee weapons in this game
But it’s pretty hard to roll for on veteran
im rolling it for my zealot
im going to try to get the perk with crit and brutal momentum on it
to see how it feels with charge crit cd or invis crit cd build 
You don’t need crit
Don’t play crits on Rashad
god
I don't like helbores, but brunt just gave me a 379 helbore 3
with 25 flak base
This is from perspective of veteran
Too bad HB3 wants maniac + elite 
alas
ah well, 25 flak, 25 manic
one of the blessings was no respite 4, the other was falter 2
this is workable
Quick question: How do you build the MK 7 shovel for Vet?
Kind of need brutal momentum but with all the buffs melee vet gets you kind of maul your way through everything
I've never felt so ruthless than with the Rashad carving through enemies
Feel like a savage fnnend
Thanks!
It’s not “kind of need BM”
It’s “literally bottom tier not worth playing without BM”
brutal momentum lets you cleave through the hordes
Yeah fjjd if you hit heads which isn't that hard
Fuck you Hadron
Playing combat axe without BM is just looking to suffer
and if you don't hit heads why are you a vet? just play psyker or zealot

why are your weapons so cool looking
It is what it is
Weapon customization mod
fuck being on console this sucks
Felt
i want cool shovels i fucking love shovels
shovels are the coolest part of darktide
They're so silly
I love how one of the special weapons for veteran is just
Oh yeah here's a shit shovel we found, have fun
do you have the pentagon for the knife III, i just want to see what they look like compare to rashed 2 
I have every veteran weapon except autopistol, revolver & shotgun
Tbh using a shovel you dig latrines with to fight Poxwalkers probably means the shovel was cleaner before you used it you fight
When in doubt. Cuss Hadron out for results 
Knife? Niche? Ur mums niche reeeeee
I know Loose Cannon Vet has a voice line talking about how she once dug latrines for the tempestuous scions while going through the sewer map start
You have some really high finesse and works well with crits. Good pen too but horde clear is a struggle lolol
Niche is “think before u play it” which I think is pretty accurate for knife
Same with ur mum 😠
Knife is funni
I would not tell a player who just got his first lv30 character to play knife vet
Knife best melee
Same
I wouldn't recommend knife to any new players honestly
Hell I see new players light spam with the DC against carapace
Yeah that’s prob true 
And I'm like
Dang. Homies gonna become a mural
agreed
Though if you get good with the knife you feel like a badass too.
Yeah it’s a very rewarding weapon
With how the flip and spin the knife while killing high priority
Bring a shovel, to a metal fab, or rockrete streets
You know, a pickaxe might be better for some stuff
I like to think my vet isn't fancy with the knife and is just relentless using strength over finesse jfnfn
alrighty, I tested out the helbore 3 I got
its hard to describe how much dick the melee attack on it sucks
I fear it would be very heretical
It goes hard against void shield
“This bayonet moveset is how the death korps suffered 17 years on Vraks”
Bayonet Helbore Mk III is awful and I feel like it is never worth using. Better to swap to melee even with the awful weapon swap speed
I only use the Bayonet on the Mk I and Mk II
Bayonet helbore mk3 is why the death korp is known for simply dying stupid bastards fnndnd
I feel like the loose cannon would talk shit about most regiments
I think she makes fun of Cadians for being sad but simultaneously sympathizes with them sometimes
I can't think of any other voice lines off of the top of my head making fun of any other regiments
Both male and female counterparts make fun of cadia if a cutthroat and Professional is on the team dnndnd
Cutthroat doesn't threaten them however unlike agitator (f) who he threatens when she says if cadia had more faith they'd still be around.
I am glad However they cut down how much the cutthroat talks about cadia cause in the beta he spoke about it a tonnnn
Let them fight. The rest of the rejects can take bets on who will win
idk how it was in beta but i feel like fem cadian has no lines
Fem cadian is missing lines
The agitator wins
AMMO?!!?!?
is a knife build for vet really good?
I also feel like fem cutthroat and fem professional have sole lackluster voice acting
It's alright if built correctly
so far i've built my main build around support and the grenade regen and it's carried me through every difficulty
Vet has access to high crit and finesse talent
i hope they let you change chars at some point i really regret making male judge zealot and female fem cadian vet
Along with placing brittleness on crits and sequent attacks
should have been the other way round
to this day brittlness confuses the hell out of me
I just delete and make new ones
thats way too much grind wasted
Brittleness is armor piercing for everyone
Rending is armor piercing just for you
Fem pro is aight
thanks
Nightmare team composition
Gun build ogryn who can’t melee
Cadian cutthroat veteran with no survivalist aura, using Boltgun (to shoot hordes) and knife
Stealth knife zealot who speedruns 80m ahead of you, ignoring everything
Smite psyker who exclusively uses smite on every enemy regardless of situation and folds in under 2s in melee
Homie just outted cutthroat like that fndnnd
It’s very funny that cutthroat players are consistently the worst that I come across
“Cadia stands!” Yea bro why’re you running +3 wounds in damnation on veteran then
Hey I think I'm pretty good fjndnd
loose cannon is so chill theres a reason everyone runs him
More of a coincidence tbh
Wh lmaoooooo fjndbd
I'm just that one in a billion cadian huh
anyone know when the krieg stuff is coming back
Unlikely fjndnd
No I mean, more of a coincidence that most cutthroats I see play pretty bad
Someone mentioned no hot fix in driptide and said that means tomorrow is likely repeat cosmetics coming into rotation
There’re good ones here and there
Oh dnndnd I notice mainly professionals are not that great
But likely of Krieg being the return may be low with how many cosmetics there are that could be coming in
Professional is highly mixed
They fold the most
Loose cannon however are usually great
Some are really good, some are really bad
no door fix yet 😭
Man I want a double boss fight in a mixed horde again
I've only had them twice and they were the most fun I've had in a match fjndn
Professional with scion helm is usually pretty good tho
Then the 3rd one arrive 
I'm just an edgy cadian with Hella tattoos who looks oddly chicano-arabic mix
GRAAAAAAAAH
LET ME DIE IN A BLAZE OF FUCKING GLORY
It happens regularly in monstro maelstrom
Getting eaten by a beast of nurgle gotta suck
Based guardsman
There's a reason the guard held
can kinda work, only downside is that it feel terrible if i dont have the 100% crit from invis since for the life of it it cannon generate crits on its own
though that being said its didnt have the crit per every swing
Light spam
It's lights do more damage than it's push attack
Push attack has more cleave for control
Can I get y’all’s opinion on a auto gun
Pls just don’t play stealth with Rashad

Be a based fury martyrdom Rashad enjoyer
Is +65% melee dmg and +50% melee atk speed not good enough
i dont like martyrdom
I play stealth vet with Rashad nfndn
makes me carry wounds instead of stamina bars
Post and you shall receive a 
U can run 2 wound + 1 stam tbh
I'm simply not based enough 😔
Tis why I asked
is +2 stamina worth using? seems so small
Thank you for the answer
Stam and toughness are top priorities for me
shoudl you run that on all curios?
May the holy 🧱 be with ya
No
+3 stam is worth
It’s always smashing me skull in
Honestly though, you can post whatevet
Sometimes we post pokemon
At least its in topic
One Stam is good enough
I like having 2 toughness curios along with iron will. Makes you hard to kill
One +3 Stam jfjdn
Yeah I’m not sure which stats would be good for a auto gun
Stopping power, damage, stability, reload speed, mobility in about that order
I got u
not to bad with charge 
Right side has stamina nodes
Then you have a Martyr focused on dodging
It's good but the blessing is very mid fjjdjd
This one isn’t my main but im holding onto it so I can re bless it later
Bet bet
The issue with crit build with Rashad is that
Rashad generally wants +dmg to get its major breakpoints
You simply won’t have that many points left after going martyrdom/momentum to build full crit CDR set-up
That and get rid of sprint efficiency
God I hate the salvo blessings
I only ever found it useful if slightly so on the recon lazguns
They’re not good for recon lasguns either
They're so dookie
slight usefulness
The only gun where sustained fire (3rd & 4th shot in salvo has +20% ranged dmg) is maybe good is Agripinaa mk1
this is like my knife build on my zealot and the test with the blue rashad was done with these perks, although missing the dmg reduction on dodge, its pretty tanky once bleed is applied 👀
Check if ur Rashad can hit bruiser 1HS breakpoints
No
Flak armored cannon fodder with melee weapons
Horde enemies with armor
They're mixed with hordes but they have clubs.
can one hit if i crit
They'll stop your silly little brutal momentum cleave hfjdn
Because if u don’t 1 hit them, then BM doesn’t get activated and your horde clear goes from god tier to bottom tier
wouldnt flak dmg solve the issue with it
There’re 2 bruiser types
Scab bruiser wears flak body armor with unarmored head, has 625hp
Dreg bruiser wears flak helmet with unarmored body, has 687.5hp
You want to 1 hit both without crits
i see 
Wouldn't martyrdom solve the breakpoints bcndnd
That’s why the way to go is martyrdom 
I haven't used martyrdom Rashad only WS melee infil vet
But I feel like marty would dominate with Rashad
Lemme show u a clip
Fucking bet
I don’t have mods to stack martyrdom in meat grinder
But this is about how fast you can swing Rashad with a martyrdom build
(Almost all the time)
Every swing is 4 kills
And with extra damage from the stacks too make you into an infinite blender
Might have to try that sometime
With 5 stack martyrdom (and both modifiers), full 5 stacks of sustained fire, and activating fury, you can have:
+65% melee dmg
+50% melee atk speed
+20% TDR
If u go top right for blood redemption and second wind for toughness gain
Every swing killing 4 gives u 30% toughness
Every valid dodge gives u 15% toughness
I see, well since my brain refuses to do wounds for curious i wont be using rashad anytime soon
ima go back to the knife like a pleb, on the other hand my vet will get a rashad in the future if it goes ok without zealot martyrdom
I only can get like 3 kills per swing with Rashad on vet but I am also releveling homie I'm at level 25 with a 475 power Rashad so not even at its full potential and I was outperforming the zealot
probably missing the extra % in finess pen first target or dmg and some perks. But anyways thanks for the help you two 
rashad is busted af so long as you have Brutal momentum and headtaker or similar
you don't need martyrdom on it at all
Martyrdom makes rolling for headtaker less of a necessity
martyrdom is just win more
I'm also assuming Rashad would be ASS on psyker
“Actually Surprisingly Strong”
Yes
Really?
Albeit an axe-toting space magician is a bit goofy in terms of looks
Huh neat
It’s not as good as veteran or zealot
Because u can’t get bruiser 1HS without funny dmg stack shenanigans (relying on DD for crucial BM 1 hit breakpoint is a horrible idea)
But it still kills poxwalkers and groaners remarkably well
Veteran and zealot just have really dedicated melee builds while psyker requires buffs and crits
Still pretty Funny for a psyker to be wielding and axe like a maniac
I haven’t tried momentum with Rashad yet cuz I didn’t roll headtaker on my axe
Got thrust instead
I think I got my Rashad from an emperors gift and it had BM and I was like
Eh ill test it.
Juggling gun with axe while disappearing and reappearing
I'm just a maniac with a gun at that point.
also guys if you see a pysker named Rossel can you please take a screen shot of his build since i want to copy it and he is always top dmg in the scoreboard everytime i see him/queue with him even with my plasma vet or knife zealot 
Prob blaze trauma
With soulblaze build
add and dm him
Blaze trauma is just a “fuck everything except bosses” build
Useless against a boss but fuck mixed hordes
the pain T_T
I have a knife psyker with agri as a meme build
But reason I play veteran a lot rn because of penance for 100 missions completed
This is why I run martyrdom Rashad (hadron bricked my axe)
Also brainburst as a blitz (it's such a meme)
That’s also like one of the hardest weapons to roll for in this game
BB with knife, scriers gaze and agri
Damn
Brain burst is a decent complement to ur build’s weakness
Agri stub fhndnd
It’s nice in vent purge sniper gauntlet
Oh yeah it's nice to see something I'll have trouble with BB it
And also randomly kill a mauler when wildly swinging fjenjd
Don’t take kinetic flayer
It's an alright build but you have like NO toughness regen
for some reason i cannot see him in my previous mission pannel everytime i queue with him these is pretty much one of the times i saw him and he joined late aswell
That 15s cd really kills the talent
i cannot oneshot both bruisers with that axe on my zealot with no stacks
Ah okay
so, like that won't happen but ffs
With martyrdom 2-3 stacks u should be able to tho
I just use martyrdom as “better breakpoints nice”
I'll screenshot the build and show you later to see what your opinion on what I should fix
I kind of make builds off of gut feelings 9/10
this is also a way to do give a bit of love to taxes
and the claw like the crit martyrdom build 😄
Tac axe is still just awkward to me
Which one is hardest?
And I wonder which one is easiest
Zealot Rashad (without martyrdom)
Get the weapon customization mod darn it
That needs like 4/4 perfect I think
IM ON CONSOLE NUMBSKULLFBHDNDBF
On top of pretty strict stat modifier rolls
Death
once you realize PA is considered a heavy attack and you basically just have to spam heavies, it goes better
💀
If I still had PC I would but I don't fjndnd
I'm sorry for your loss
dorimee
I also see why people dislike Xbox players
It's low-key frustrating seeing people of my fellow console play worse than the bots
It’s alright but the 3 base cleave still struggles against bruisers and I’m biased but I consider bruiser clear way more important than poxwalkers & groaners
do you have like cross play dissabled since i swear on console players can opt out of that
Martyrdom & sustained assault giving +65% dmg just to give it enough dmg to BM hit 4
Nah I have cross play enabled
Meanwhile u can juice a combat axe to do it in like 2 stacks of martyrdom
With better hit angles
And which one is easiest by your opinion?
Infantry autogun (any)
let me guess: controller user
with the amaount of aim assist on that thing is suitable only if you are playing on controller
Capped at 30fps, playing on the cloud on a 10 year old console using a controller with stick drift, aim assist off, sens high, plays hi int-shock troop.
And a 10 dollar headset
I'm nerfed heavily
Is series S still 30fps cap
And I still perform better than some PC players
than u are excused for using revolver
this guy is playing auric auric damnation damnation 
If I had a PC I would be disgusting jfnsndn
I played when the beta was released.
I turned off aim assist solely because enemies would mess up my aim. And I upped sensitivity because I was turning at a snails pace.
I play the game so much I broke one of my controllers bumpers and triggers and my new one has stick drift on both sticks 💀
This helmet is the reason why I am farming missions as vet rn
It has a pack of smokes on the side which makes me giggle
My cutthroat is a chainsmoker
God why is mission grinding so necessary
Also tf does MG stand for in Infantry Lasgun MG Ia?
No idea
to make sure no new players pick up the game
“Player retention”
Should I try speedrunning missions with knife and my stealth vet build
you need some kind of stack to hit the bp on the scab bruiser yeah
Knife speed runners aren't people
Why would they rbndnd
If I plan to knife speedrun I'll do it there
No one plays it and bots don't slow me down
Win-win
I always wondered why people hate it
Because it is shit
Do tell me more
1/50% cd increase 2/area decrease 3/it cost a talent point 4/it kills you if used in a fire
5/base shout is enough to safely rez in 95% situation
Only case where base VoC can’t safe res is if you immediately get overtoughness broken by sniper shot/burster explosion/plasma/overhead
Yeah it's a bad spend on a talent point
If it did not cost a talent point I might consider it
It was the same for vermintide 2 mercenary shout
You had much better options over rez the team
At the end of the day, it is a talent point that you spend to make your ult worse on average
Take Grenade regen instead of shout rez
Underhand a Grenade as you approach a downed team mate then begin rez
Blast will stagger everything and give you the time to complete the revive
does run&gun blessing reduce hipfire spread?
Better utility because shout rez is useful maybe once in a crisis run and saves you like a few seconds vs having Grenade regen lets you use grenades more often for clearing threats and saving team mates more consistently
Plus spamming shout with the greater frequency and wider radius helps your teammates not go down in the first place.
teammates dont go down if they have overtoughness 50% of the time 
catachan blade mark? (cleave hordes for my focus target plasma build)
krak grenades stick to the to the tub of pathogen fluid at the end of disruption in the carnival
very funny
what does the silver perks mean like why does some guns have silvery coloured blessing
like i thought thyere meant to be grey
Mk6 uses heavies in horde clear if you want to cleave
Not very impressive tho
that's what I noticed
Because I played with a kickback with r&g
the grey ones are blessings you dont have, aka earned at hadron by giving away a weapon with said blessing. "silver" ones are blessings you do own
Which would be some good stats if I wanna create an energy sword Vl?
Ah
yea
You want damage finesse and uhhh
Lemme pull up mine real quick
I think it's cleave damage ?
Mobility is shit on the ps6 anyways
But you shouldn't dump it completely
Mk6 for hordes
Mk3 for single target
it is worth to improve this one?
Finesse too low
mk iii, just discoverd now....it does exaclty what i was looking for on my non try-hard plasma build
How do you use two most meta weapons available on vet and call it non-meta
He's got a point
By going executioner stance with them
i said non try-hard, not non-meta
try hard is sweaty/meta gameplay which different from chill/meta gameplay
a true try hard will call you shitter if you use chill easy to use weapons, try hards want the meta but also the meta who require to sweat to be used at 100%
2 more weapon types to go
@winter grove want an example from another game?
We're talking about darktide
Give me an example from darktide
How is a try hard any different from casual player if they both run same setup
columnus/knife is try hard, power sword/plasma gun is chill meta
Knife can be outclassed by rashad and powersword
if you don't sweat
Amd comparing op trio weapons between each other is futile
its worth to improve this one?
Not really
Generally you want 360+ modifier rating with high numbers on important stats
So what if I get like 330 rating but the low priority stat is dumped
exactly that's why i was giving an example from another game
Like my agri shotgun with 21% stability
TyI didnt know that
That’s usable, depends on how hard the dump stat can be dumped
Most dump stats you’re still looking for 51%+
Let's say stability
On a lot of guns stability matters
Does it matter on MG Ia?
It affects your recoil
Maybe I should get a better one
I'd never say that
MG lasguns recoil is noticeable as fuck
Although stability is more of a “feel nice” thing for some guns
So 36% stability is bad
On a shotgun u can dump
But against 370+ rating looks nicer 
Oh yeah my shotty is almost perfect
I just need no respite
My most weapons not being optimal comes from the fact that I don't have every blessing
So I can't magically swap a shitty one with a good one
I’ve spent at least a few million dockets just collecting blessings
I only have 4 more melee blessings yet to be collected on veteran
Did you upgrade weapons to blue or yellow for blessings?
I literally buy t1 blessings off brunt’s requisition 
What do u think
I just collect it for fun
It’s kind of “progression” for me
Completionist stuff tbh
I thought it's buy shit from brunt in bulk to upgrade in hardon for blessings
see that would be logical and not rng based
U could do that if you have a lot of resources to spare
we cant have shit in atoma
But I don’t like gambling dockets away
get blessing from hadron
surrender it
get an upgraded version
that would be a logical progression system if you get a blessing that you want then hop it on trash weapons from t1 to t4
but again we cant have shit
9/9 in every tier
nice
do you just have to use a power sword as veteran
no
Headtaker helps the oneshots right?
if you're using a lasgun i mean
No
No
like theres no other counter for a crusher
Knife
i still need actual melee weapons for zealot and vet and curios for vet and ogryn before i can do that
why would a knife work against carapace when a chainsword doesnt
thats just like 500 knives on a sword
Chainsword does
a chainsaw works
no it doesnt
Yes it does?
alt+heavy
No
No need to insult lol
why doesnt my chainsword work against them
Is it mark 13?
u can do this
My condolences
is that just the shit one or something
Mk13g chainsword not that great
great
It’s a horde clear exclusive weapon
i love developers that put bad weapons into games
one revved push attacks even with a mk13 gets them to half health
But it’s not an all rounder
I have heard mostly good things about it tbh
If you want a bad weapon go play with any of the tac axe family
u can also do this
its dogshit
Or a recon II
just tested it and the damage for the special is back-loaded
thats why it hasnt been doing shit
Yep, all chain weapons are like this
you didnt know that?
You can use quite almost anything with lasguns
you cant stay in range long enough for it to do its damage
that is every chain weapon
You can though
You could even use dclaw to parry crushers
(don't do that)
It's a risk but you can do it
I would only suggest power sword / folding shovel with infantry lasguns personally
Been using a mk6 blade with infantry lasgun
But I could save some trouble and use the shovel
I can see combat axe working too
Rashad works with everything if built correctly
Higher point cost in talent tree
If you have 4/4 perfect, no
But if you’re 4/4 correct
Then you don’t have +carapace perk to 3 tap crushers
And since they changed stagger vs ogryn enemies
mark 4 is slightly better
4 overhead to kill crusher isn’t nearly as good
As the other carapace killing options
Tbh I only use chainswords if I have another anti crusher
Like plasma or krak
chord anti-cara is really its only weakness
Chainaxes work right?
never had this problem at all when i was playing psyker
U trade horde clear and dodge for that
two specials with the force sword and they'd be dead
Psyker has different problems
I see
Well psyker has very specialized single target anti-carapace melee weapons lol
psyker has less problems than veteran
yeah force sword specials have better carapace ADMs
Well try a power sword mark 6
Tell me, should I replace mk6 knife with my almost perfect mk7 shovel?
Deimos may as well be named “crusher demolisher 3000”
Or try cleaving with one of those anti-crusher psyker weapons
it could never 2/3-shot crushers totally
What’s ur mk7 shovel looking like
yeah vet is really bad vet needs buffs
Power Sword 6 push attack L4 combo
Don't got screenshot but I remember it
if you're going to make a class comparison, at least don't use the chainsword, a weapon shared between the three human classes, as the example
and then bring up the force swords and conveniently ignore the power swords
truly makes you think about whether the statement is in good faith or not
Fuck

It’s very funny that every class’s top meta weapons are all so hard to roll I kinda don’t want to recommend using them
Except zealot
Zealot crusher u can get away with a lot of things
If I get uncanny or thrust it's salvageable
it doesnt exist

And those were my first two IH
i need a cigarette
What region are u in btw
APAC
this is where i would put my thrust 4 if i had one
Ah ok
Wait does that affect hadron?
and these are my shovel blessings 
Now the question is do I do shotguns or autopistol next
i vote shotgun
Shotguns
Is autopistol really anything except pocket toughness replenishment?
when in doubt flak maniac
I’m gonna tell u smth and you’re gonna think fatshark is crazy
The autopistol has worse sprint-to-fire speed than MG4
I wish I was joking
MG4 has instant sprint to fire
Braced autoguns and Autopistol don’t

It's meta after all
Speaking of MG4.
Since it has newr infinite ammo, can I make a build that is purely pew pew from lasgun?
Like horde clear with mg4 only
Yes
It just does low dmg
I still wouldn’t recommend doing that
Primarily because your horde clear isn’t gonna be nearly as good as if you brought a solid melee
I'll grab a shovel
And as a veteran you should bring a solid horde clear melee most of the time
Mk7
MG4 has only 1.5 cleave
So u hit 2 groaners/poxwalkers
The moment bruisers come in you no longer have cleave
Autopistol slows you more walking than the autoguns magdumping
knife revolver
Huh never seen someone pass up 10% attack speed
dont need it when me kill
It's just nice to have faster swings, the swings in this game take 10-15 business days
knife literally is faster attack speed, so much so i hold off their swings, like how the swoard does with length plus attack speed. im used to the barebones of it all so let it rip
No serrated blade for knife makes me sad
hey one free bullet for fast swapping for no reason hits hard
If you're manually clicking attack I can see why you might hold off on sanic knife
Conveniently mods/scripts can fix that
Encountered an annoying issue
I completed the Deadeye penance, but the pants weren’t granted. They’re still locked.
It shows up in recently completed though. Any suggestions?
Did you try turning darktide on and off again
Lmao
Ol' reliable
Hey all, the Precision Strike talent that gives 30% weak spot dmg - is that for melee too, or just ranged?
Considering it's on the ranged side. It seems really nice for a melee combat blade build
It works for both melee & ranged attacks, however weakspot (& crit) dmg calculation is a bit weird in this game (and not in the player’s favour)
Let’s say you have a weapon that does 50 dmg on body hit, 100 dmg on weakspot hit
+30% weakspot dmg would result in 50 + (100-50)x30% = 115 dmg, essentially 15% more dmg from weakspot hits
The actual dmg increase is ALWAYS lower than what the stated number suggests
+weakspot (& crit) dmg only applies to the bonus portion of dmg u gain from landing weakspot (& crit) hits compared to normal body hit dmg
I just got On Overwatch... on the sniper & poxburster Maelstrom
Hey Vets, I've been cooking with this build for a little while now. Finally written up a guide on how it works, strengths, weaknesses and justifications on skipping certain things in the tree.
Still a first version (also first time I've ever written a guide before for a game), so happy to get feedback if you have any!
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9b9b407b-6b51-4fad-a1e5-aa6808334fc2/the-high-crit-healer-of-atoma
Born leader is best used with more reliable +toughness blessings, reassuringly accurate isn’t the most reliable compared to stuff like gloryhunter or inspiring barrage
Also please don’t take inspiring barrage over iron will or demo team
I don’t think you really need exhilarating takedown or charismatic, could just go confirmed kill and save some points
Opening salvo is a hilariously underpowered talent right now
DC7 benefits from Skullcrusher more than thunderstrike since it has multiple strikedowns to maximize single target dmg (for a DC sword that is)
Thanks! I was testing Opening Salvo in the Psyk and it seemed good, as in I was able to pop off 9 shots before the effect wore off; but ultimately without it my ammo economy is still even amazing. Also I guess taking it forces you to keep your eye on the ammo count/buff icon so it's a distraction
Competitive urge is ok, but for a Laspistol + DC sword loadout I’d personally go with rending strikes due to DC’s weakness to flak armor, and Laspistol’s weakness to maniac
It’s more that it’s not effective enough for a 1 talent point spend generally speaking
Redirect fire (middle keystone modifier) just gives u +7.5% dmg with really good uptime and that’s much higher value than opening salvo
Awesome RE: this one, because I felt that the 2.5% -while did pop off on HI enough, was a bit meh
If I can get away from Salvo then that's actually really good
It’s not a bad talent, it’s more that you can’t predict when it’ll go off
Usually comp urge is taken as a luxury pick when you’ve finalized your build and have spare points
Take iron will instead of inspiring presence
Inspiring presence is only coherency toughness regen, which gets very easily disabled in melee combat
I’d also recommend superiority complex over shock troop since +15% elite dmg usually gets you a few better breakpoints
And las-weapons generally have good enough ammo economy
Also, between the eyes is completely redundant on laspistol
Because laspistol naturally has suppression immunity
Helbore, plasma, Laspistol and shotgun all have built-in suppression immunity
You can tank heavy gunner fire and never lose accuracy
Go dum dum instead for better dps
Mk10 Laspistol also specifically wants flak + unarmored for best possible 1 tap headshot breakpoints
These are the only Blessings I can get on the Kantrael Heavy LP: https://imgur.com/RuZTns4 No Born Leader (unfortunately I wanted to make this build centric around the X Heavy, but I'll take on those notes and do some more testing). Thanks again honestly for all the feedback thus far
Generally speaking, Mk10 Laspistol you want:
Unarmored + Flak
Dum Dum + Ghost
The reason I went Between the Eyes is bc I'm not picking up the Talent for Supression (masochist I know), but I can see why it's useful to swap that out. Better to dodge and kill first anyways
Dum dum is just a flat out +30% close ranged dmg (stays at +30% up to 8m, then linear falloff towards 0% at 30m), which starts stacking from the 2nd shot in continuous fire, it’s very strong
Yea laspistols have built-in suppression immunity so kind of a wasted slot there
Very good point
They never mention this even lol
I’d also say that this build very noticeably lacks anti-carapace power
Something to consider
And it’s not the best at removing specialists because laspistol has low maniac dmg
Mk10 takes like 2~3 headshots against flamers iirc
2 if crit
So for Carapace enemies, I originally DID have Krak nades on 1m cooldown resupply, but yeah it's not efficient for carapace atm
I’d prob experiment with other melee weapons for this build
DC swords are good at defense but they don’t have great dmg on offense, and just abysmally low flak dmg
You lose almost 70% dmg in cleave when you hit flak armor
And you have like no tools to quickly remove crushers or bulwarks in this build
DC swords just don’t kill bulwarks all that fast even with frag’s stagger
If you want to stick to DC sword, you’re kind of hard locked into a few options for carapace
Helbore 3, plasma, boltgun, revolver
Krak (not recommended)
Relying entirely on teammates (also not recommended)
Sorry not ignoring you btw, just updating my draft version of this with all your feedback (duped it so I can use it as a staging) and then testing in the Psyk.
I've got a Grey of each melee weapon so I can test them all out. I definitely centralised this around the parrying functionality and Laspistol - but if I see some improvements in other fields RE: melee I might make some alt builds for this. Thank you really, it's fun getting to try new things and finding out some stuff just flat out doesn't work as advertised lol
You can use loadout monitor mod to test much more efficiently
Rather than relying on RNG and your own armory
I've yet to install any mods, probably worth doing; beter stat observation too
Debuff indicator is a must
Mainly it shows how fast bleed stacks drop, so if you are using shredder nade you must throw 2 back to back to get more bleed stacks, any delay and your damage drops alot
No worries, you can check the pinned messages here in this channel, I have a detailed talent breakdown with their use cases explained
Working on a more comprehensive veteran guide rn with all the weapons & some hidden mechanics explained
Aw hell yeah, that's much appreciated
@stuck kite this one
Best perks for lasgun 1a?
Flak + maniac
can i post the link to my current build here? i like it a lot and wanna share it to see if it can be rounded out more
you can link builds yeah
why are low int teammates mentally disabled
I just watched a gun ogryn
get surrounded by 30 poxwalkers
while firing his heavy stubber over their heads, and over the head of a fucking daemonhost
Steam sales, that'll be why
I've led a few lambs into Demonhosts by accidently, I'm habitually someone who points enemies out. They go to attack 'em
they died on the next horde and I got trapped through bruisers
lost my not going down 8 penance streak
another fucking 8 hours wasted
Hrhe
Please don’t use terrifying barrage (ever)
whhhy
Suppression only works for:
Scab & Dreg Gunner
Reaper
Scab & Dreg Stalker
Scab Shooter
Groaner
You can’t suppress other enemies
ohhhh
thanks
If suppression could force shotgunners to go into melee then terrifying barrage would be less of a meme pick
But braced autoguns already have a good amount of suppression
thanks
What difficulty does your Penance require? If it can be solo'd that might be better (bots don't count as players)
I'm not doing it on anything less then damnation
15 full games without going down
I mean it's just a sunk cost fallacy thing at that point - if you spent 8 hours, surely it's going to be more profitable for your time to speedrun them on the easiest available difficulty
do you think i should change the melee or gun to make the build better in any way? i like dealing with cc and horde clearing
The rolls:
The consecrations 
Ok hear me out
Don't use res voice of command
Invirogated is also kinda meh at best
Wild thoughts but okay
not having survivalist is already a pretty big problem so that's a more fundamental issue
what should i use instead
when i started off with the build my brain went “team do more damage” never thought about survivalist

It doesnt pick up hanging teammates
Or netted teammates
Or tied up teammates
You have to be very close to them and at that point there are some good perks for revival instead
The only situation where its better is when you have a monstrosity on you
It can reach allies on ledges above you though
who keeps putting this on the revolvers i'm trying to make
scary to see that perk
a name fitting
you don't use revolvers for horde clear? what's wrong with you
why do so few vets use the improved field kit talent, emergency nade spam is so clutch...
and its only 1 point since you always grab nade regen anyway
Because it’s a conditional effect - you have to have a medipack
Other skills are not nearly as constrained as that one is 
it applies to any medipac used by the party afaik
no, anyone has to have medi OR ammo pack
if a zealot drops a medipac and a vet has it, it cleanses corruption
I know, but it doesn’t matter
if an ogryn drops an ammo pack everyone gets nades off it too
A medipack is a medipack, you can have up to TWO per level
always 2 medipacs and 2 ammo crates per level yeah? but you don't always find them
i have it on all my vet builds, dearly miss it when im playing sth else
Good point, that also is a point of concern
And sometimes you want to have an effect that will make a difference for you throughout the run, not 0-4 times in a run 
also depending on if people want grims or scrips they may ditch the medipacs or ammo crates but even still I'd say it's a worthwhile node for team support
not even team support
if you've got the point to spare after getting your main build
your rando group begins to disintegrate, you drop that ammo kit and just start spamming nades. or some ogryn drops up to 5 nukes, or up to 15 on some maelstroms
What also is not great about that talent is that… you don’t know if somebody else has it
