one more question, would u recommend hit & run blessing to pair with dance of death

umbral scaffold
#

hey me (again) so i have playd more lvl 30 now and was wondering if any one can recomend a build id prefer a more solo focusd build wiht sustane and focus on ranged damge

tall torrent
umbral scaffold
#

tbh im not fully sure most funn i had so far wehre the full automatic guns

tall torrent
#

Columnus Mk5 infantry autogun maybe

umbral scaffold
#

stuff like taht ya

#

also as im super new i wanted too ask is it just me or do the purple talents of the veteran all sound kinda bad?

tall torrent
#

Goes fairly in depth into what each of the talents do, and has detailed breakdowns for every weapon accessible to Veteran

umbral scaffold
#

oh wow

#

seems like a lot

tall torrent
#

You could try a template like this, 5 points left for u to spend on things u like

#

Also, what difficulty are u mainly playing rn

hollow ibex
#

knife gets all the cool animations

junior needle
#

It's perfectly fine to not use any of them

final stag
#

Left click? That's a wild place to put a ping button.

junior needle
#

It's for pinging things automatically as you fire on them

#

With your ping keystone

final stag
#

If your mouse has side buttons put them their if not, your scroll wheel can also be pressed down instead of scrolled. You can bind it to those to not inevitably annoy your teammates when you fire.

junior needle
#

The alternative is to press 2 buttons every time you shoot an elite/special

#

The issue with that is you still have to press 2 buttons

final stag
#

I've never had those issues. And I would never bind my ping button to my shooting button. Especially when so many weapons are single firing

junior needle
#

Blame fartshark for making it like this, I don't want to make the ping sound constantly but I'm just not gonna use it if I have to manually ping everything KEKW_ogryn

serene bough
#

LMB ping is the ultimate troll

junior needle
#

Thankfully I use autofire for most semis

final stag
#

It's not even that hard bfbdb like cheap gaming mouses for ten bucks or the scroll wheel lolol

junior needle
#

"bfbdb"

final stag
#

Ah I see
You use mods lolol.

#

Just keyboard spam bud.

junior needle
#

Yeah I have a gaming mouse, I just don't want to press multiple buttons every time

serene bough
#

for a second i thought bfbdb was some new acronym

final stag
#

It really isn't that difficult to press a single button

junior needle
#

Unnecessary added tedium

#

That detracts from my enjoyment of the game

final stag
#

Well I still wouldn't recommend to players to bind ping to LMB, just a wild place to put it. Since you have the auto fire mod you do you.

junior needle
#

Many players already do this

#

Especially easy for use with automatics

#

Again, blame fatshark for poor mechanical design if they don't want people bypassing tedium

#

And then making it the best generalist keystone KEKW_ogryn

final stag
#

I know more players who dislike the LMB ping debate.

Pings are in alot of games and honest fatshark made their pings easy

junior needle
#

They can turn off ping sounds

#

In the options

#

Just like I can turn on one button ping

#

in the options

final stag
#

Just annoying to see flashing colors or worse

When people spam ping when shooting at a target

junior needle
#

This is fair, I understand the point

final stag
#

It's actually mind bogglingly annoying

junior needle
#

What I'm saying is fatshark encourages this with their design

final stag
#

I wouldn't say encourages it since it's super easy to just bind it to a side button or scroll wheel

junior needle
#

Side buttons are defaulted to other things, and ping is already on the scroll wheel

final stag
#

Like your thumb is naturally resting on the side of a mouse so side buttons aren't that hard

junior needle
#

I think you are missing the point

#

Oh excuse me, dodge isn't bound to side button by default

#

Or is it

final stag
#

It isn't

junior needle
#

It's on space with jump, which is dumb

final stag
#

It's space that binds jump, mantle, dodge

#

I usually unbind those

junior needle
#

Weapon special is a side button by default I'm pretty sure

final stag
#

Yeah

junior needle
#

But dodge should be on the side button

final stag
#

I still use space but put my jump and mantle somewhere else

junior needle
#

But anyway, the issue isn't easy access to keys for pinging

final stag
#

It's annoying to jump when dodging and get killed

junior needle
#

That has nothing to do with it

#

The issue is having to click an extra time for every elite/special

#

To get value from your keystone

#

People, me included, often find it tedious and either don't use it or do that workaround

final stag
#

It really still isn't that difficult you just say it is. Probably the most simplest thing is to unbind weapon specials. Most weapon specials aren't particularly good.

junior needle
#

As I said

#

It's not difficult, it's tedious and annoying for many

#

It doesn't matter how easy to access the buttons are

final stag
#

And I gave my argument that people without auto fire make it annoying

junior needle
#

I agree, and they should try to be considerate about it

final stag
#

Most pain I've played in a game are with people without that mod and binded their ping button to shooting.

junior needle
#

But the root of the problem is the mechanical design fatshark chose

stuck kite
#

I ping enemies because it's an eyesight accessibility issue for me (but only when it's something I'm gonna kill or make aware of for the team eg. Patrol or elites near downed ppl)

Also because my Vet build gives that damage boost

junior needle
#

As long as it's like that, it's going to be like that

stuck kite
#

But yeah my ping is MMB, never gonna spam it on enemies with the shoot button

junior needle
#

Single shots that one tap are also easy to use for left click ping

final stag
#

I still wouldn't blame fatshark, it isn't a mechanical issue. But I can see how it could get annoying.

#

MMB or side buttons if you have em.

junior needle
#

The cause of the whole issue we're discussing is the mechanical design

#

Other keystones just work passively

#

Vet comparatively needs the song and dance

void rampart
final stag
void rampart
#

1000 hours of Vermintide baked keyboard pings into me anyways, wouldn't have it any other way

junior needle
#

Pretty sure left handed mice get made

void rampart
#

They do, but just not this one and I like this one

final stag
#

I can understand that. But I still would recommend players without mods to just put their ping on MMB or side buttons over LMB, hell I'd recommend RMB over LMB

junior needle
#

That's fair, it's hard to find a particular mouse shape/weight that feels good

void rampart
#

what ranged weapon compliments a full full melee build on Vet

junior needle
#

revolver

void rampart
#

my broke ass still stuck with the Mk 14

junior needle
#

14?

void rampart
#

the braced one

#

revolver

final stag
#

Agri?

junior needle
#

Oh no, not that one

#

Use the zarona

final stag
#

You should be able to get zarona easy

#

Zarona is best for WS

junior needle
#

agri revolver is pretty uh

#

poor comparatively

void rampart
junior needle
#

Ciag is also overtuned enough to use it gray and talentless

void rampart
#

It's the only weapon my vet is still missing

final stag
#

Agri is okay you really have to build around that gun over the zarona which performs good at any level

final stag
void rampart
#

got a good collection of just about every other gun in the damn game

#

bruh I know I can buy one

#

I got shitty luck

final stag
#

Keep buying them 😈

void rampart
#

fixable?

tall torrent
#

But Zarona has very specific requirements (on veteran)

#

Maniac + elite
Surgical + hand cannon

junior needle
#

That'd be perfect on my zealot, which wants flak+maniac

#

Consider me jelly

tall torrent
#

I rolled a 543 plasma that gets all its breakpoints just now

#

Spent 300k dockets, worth it

#

Actually a bit less than 300k

junior needle
#

Incredibly low amount of dockets spent

tall torrent
void rampart
tall torrent
#

Elite is more important overall

final stag
tall torrent
#

Cuz it applies to more enemies

#

Maniac is just for Crit bodyshot 1 tap Dreg rager

final stag
#

Just head shot them 😈

void rampart
#

I'll make do, melee can take care of that

tall torrent
#

Consistency is more important for 1 shot weapons

final stag
#

Vet trading with a rager is ballsy

tall torrent
#

Maniac is QoL essentially

junior needle
#

I need maniac+anoint on zealot just to get crit headshot kills at a fairly close range

#

It sucks

tall torrent
#

I might play the cursed dance of death + hit & run combo on Agripinaa braced for my martyrdom zealot

void rampart
#

finally a weapon I can complete my contract with

tall torrent
final stag
#

Rashad and standard shovel have the bash as a special attack

#

That works I know that works on them

frank monolith
# junior needle I need maniac+anoint on zealot just to get crit headshot kills at a fairly close...

I usually just charge spam m1 with my knife build if its alone or 2 of them if there is way more i spam block attack and it gets the job done killing them. Or if I dont have charge, I have a pool of 4+9 stam and i just dash left or right consistently while spamming block attack, and usually i only take some chip dmg or the blocking blocks it. But one time my dodge got block and i took like 6 diffrent rager hits and nearly die ZGIF_KekLaugh, but i just back spaced after the stun animation and proceed to spam my throwing knife at their head

tall torrent
#

Rashad uses PA for stagger

#

Standard shovel has SP or heavy

final stag
#

All I know is scab ragers were being killed on damnation with a power 447 Rashad. It was a rager horde too smh. That thing fucks.

@tall torrent You were talking about the Zarona needing specifics to hit BPs and Melk has this in the shop. Fixable?

revolver, no + ammo talent or survivalist aura, run into a beast of nurgle and dump into its body

and in general shoot beefy boys that won't get instagibbed by other players

You could also make it a private game and put the difficulty on the bare minimum if you so wished

How do you make a privat game

Go to mission terminal and it should be on the bottom right.

I did test it
I can one shot them with headtaker stacks or with just normal WS Buffs, agile engagement, surprise attack. Etc which are always active when I play

Honestly the gun with which I have the worst ammo stats is the plasma when i am not switching whatthefuck_heresy

I should have a good one somewhere, lemme check

#

Found it KEKW_ogryn

Tbf it is because ammo pickup are really crappy with plasma. A small pack is about 8 shot

You mean 8 shots as in 16 ammo?

wanton dawn

breakpoints are a thing still

#

just saying you benefit more from the perks helping you reach breakpoints (since they're extremely significant for a gun that expects to kill things in 1-2 shots)

#

going from 1-2 or 2-3 is a significant slowdown

#

that said a grey one is still obviously better than a godroll of a lot of other weapons

I don't run grenade regen on my autogun vet >_>

I play Aurics constantly with no grenade regen

agile forge

Veteran has to make a lot of hard choices with talents

and grenade regen is a 2 point dip

my power sword can cover it fine, but the points it's freed up to use elsewhere are way more valuable

I can't remember what I put them in though

#

but if I had a vrak VII and a chain axe I'd probably want grenade regen lmao

loud oyster

This guy was trying to horde clear with said chaxe

agile forge

I haven't really used one

is it capable of horde clear?

It doesn’t have terrible clear speed

I know they're designed as elite smashers

trim hemlock

Mk12 is a little ass

loud oyster
#

Honestly, I couldn't tell which chaxe it was, was just absolutely daffled about someone bringing a chaxe to some of the higher difficulty activities w/o nade regen. This guy clearly didn't know the "strike twice then dodge" rule of horde clear either

I am just wondering whether they had a friend carry them the entire time they played lol

Does it matter?

Who knows. I still see a fair number do the school of "Trading melee hits with the fodder" of melee combat

I generally tend not to talk about other players, even though their performance is subpar. If mission goes awry, it’s easier to find a reason why you karked up, and where, and how

# analog mural I'd rather have an ogryn just charge into the gunners and kill them rather than ...

A few gunners all standing relatively close together sure. If it were just a few I'd have charged in myself. But last night felt like every match I played was Nurgle's "Oops All Gunners!" mix and we'd have to deal with what felt like 10-15 gunners scattering from various sight lines and unloading into us all at once. Normally I don't care about team comp but not having a Vet or Psyker on larger maps vs that many gunners was painful

#

Trying to reach the gunners through the horde, specials and elites can be tough

lyric dock
#

Psykers at least from my pubbing experience generally falls into the "pretty competent"
Ogryns generally solid and bad ones are very few and far
Vets is a 50/50 coin flip if they're good or Pox walker bait
Zealots is 50/50 if they clutch the game or Dog/Trapper bait

I do make my share of mistakes (like accidentally jumping when I mean to dodge which ends in me turning into a pile of goo)

lyric dock
#

Why I have the mod that prevents accidental jumps while dodging

final stag
#

Why I play on Xbox fhnendn

#

I don't have that pleasure sadly. I hate jumping when I try to dodge a net or a crusher.

umbral scaffold
#

i shot a rager with my boltgun last night and my game crashed as i fired

#

it was in the middle of a horde on damnation

umbral granite
#

Melk selling this... I am kinda temped but i dont know if it's good or not (I dont normally use columus)

bitter turtle
#

its good

agile forge
#

you'll be stuck with a B tier blessing

bitter turtle
#

carapace -> maniac
swap out either blessing for dumdum depending on how you want

agile forge
#

but apart from that it's very good

bitter turtle
#

t3 doesnt matter that much for thos e2

tall torrent
#

Hit & run is actually pretty good for duck & dive + deadshot

agile forge
#

oh shit does it trigger that

#

it counts as a dodge?

bitter turtle
#

its like ghost

tall torrent
#

Yea

bitter turtle
#

so yes

tall torrent
#

I specified all “dodge” blessings in my document

umbral granite
#

I only have dumdum tier 3 at the moment, is that fine until i manage to get a tier 4 version for the columnus?

tall torrent
#

Works

bitter turtle
#

honestly

#

t3 vs t4

#

for dumdum

#

barely makes a differenced

tall torrent
#

I got this yesterday KEKW_ogryn

proud nest
#

i run mine w/ dumdum/deathspitter and flak/maniac

umbral granite
#

So, keep hit and run for duck and dive?

#

on it

bitter turtle
#

you can do either

tall torrent
#

If not, keep deathspitter

bitter turtle
#

deathspitter is a fine generic damage boost if you dont care for that kinda gameplay

proud nest
#

deadshot without duck and dive is totally doable if youre okay sacrificing all your curio slots to stam lol

#

just gotta run target down or weapons spec

umbral granite
#

I decided i liked the generic damage boost and situational range immunity better

bitter turtle
#

personally

#

i agree

#

i only do hit and run or raking fire as 2nd blessing nowaday for iag

#

raking fire for boss dmg meme

#

can take out nearly half a monstro hp bar with one clip KEKW_ogryn

#

hit and run is nice for very aggressive play too

#

way better than stripped down

tall torrent
#

Dum Dum + Hit & Run + Deadshot + Target Down! + Duck & Dive

#

Is a pretty hilarious way to play IAGs

proud nest

it just works

proud nest
#

heres some eye candy for yall
i run this on my weapons spec build

trim hemlock
#

Why Point Blank, though whatthefuck_heresy

proud nest
#

weapon spec build

trim hemlock
#

Yeah, but, like, why

proud nest
#

is for q swap + m1 + q swap

trim hemlock
#

Sounds like a lot of work that Surgical doesn’t have to go through

proud nest
#

i dont have to ads with point blank

tall torrent
proud nest
#

no way

tall torrent
#

Yep.

trim hemlock
#

Yeah, but you’re not making the most consistent solution, either

#

And yeah, if Point Blank isn’t activated on your regular melee kills

proud nest
#

haha well at least i can swap it out

tall torrent
#

Don’t ever use point blank

trim hemlock
#

I.e., there is no buff icon

tall torrent
#

Also for that revolver

bitter turtle
#

its

trim hemlock
#

Then it will only pop up on butt kills, and that’s ass

bitter turtle
#

extremely tragic

tall torrent
#

Use maniac + elite
Surgical + hand cannon

#

Maniac + elite is the best possible perk combo for revolver

#

Gets u all the major breakpoints

#

Elite is the most important one

trim hemlock
#

So what does Elites do on a volver?

bitter turtle
#

it gets the 2shot bp for crusher withotu needing to run carapace and also pushes you over for rager crit bodyshots

tall torrent
#

Carapace doesn’t give u scab rager 1 crit bodyshot

tall torrent
bitter turtle
#

found out bc

#

i was gonna try it on agri fan revolver

final stag
#

That's such poor design seeing how the revolvers bash is akin to sneezing on aa poxwalker

bitter turtle
#

since short buff is ok if you fan the whole thing out

#

70% crit

#

but

#

fucking butt attack only

#

actual trash

#

it could be guaranteed crit and 400% power and still be trash with how weak that whip attack is

tame lodge
#

If the body shot didn't kill, whack it

tall torrent
#

It’s more QoL since you generally aim headshot anyways

#

But it’s an extra layer of consistency

tall torrent
proud nest
#

ye

#

do i need elites if im running the +30% headshot damage perk?

tall torrent
#

Yes

proud nest
#

kk

tall torrent
#

You also need superiority complex

#

For 15% elite dmg

proud nest
#

oh

#

i dont typically run that

final stag
#

Low-key a good talent

proud nest
#

oh for sure

tall torrent
#

This is what I’d recommend for revolver WS

#

With maniac + elite this hits every major breakpoint u care about

proud nest
#

i run mine with smokes and middle coherency perk
i take reciprocity and dont take fully loaded cus i dont mind picking up ammo tins

tall torrent
#

Reciprocity isn’t very good for weapons outside of knife & tac axe

umbral granite
#

My friend just got a blue agripina revolver with 80% in damage, critical, and penetration, but only 35% in reload and 20% in mobility... it has native hand-cannon 3 and 20% maniac...

proud nest
#

its a combat axe build
is gud for chunkin hordes

tall torrent
#

Go CQKZ then

proud nest
#

yes

tall torrent
#

Reciprocity isn’t gonna see much use with combat axe

proud nest
#

i mean ive got both lol

tall torrent
#

U don’t need both is what I mean

proud nest
#

but yeah its alredy one shotting lots of things

tall torrent
#

Could grab better talents

bitter turtle
#

recip's definitely not worth losing some bps

proud nest
#

low key
smoke grenades are kinda good for melee builds now that they work on snipers

#

nice to have if you already can handle armor and hordes

tall torrent
#

Try smth like this then

stiff cipher
#

No Krak grenade interesting

tall torrent
final stag
#

Krak isn't like
Make or break

#

Frag is overall best.

stiff cipher
#

Also I like big boom

#

So I’m partial

final stag
#

You could do that with a melee or gun just as easily.

bitter turtle
#

shredders are better than krak 90% of scenarios

#

even against armor

stiff cipher
final stag
#

It is funny

bitter turtle
#

krak only really shines against monstrosities

final stag
#

I have kraks just a save a point and dump em on monsters

stiff cipher
#

I am a monstrosity maniac

#

Oh so now my autocorrect won’t work

final stag
#

But if I want to delete monsters I can use my dedicated big game hunter build

bitter turtle
#

even in a scenario with a pack of bulwark/crushers

#

krak will often only kill 1 or 2 at best

#

it really does not solve the problem when there is a dozen with trappers/gunners hiding behind them

stiff cipher
#

Gotta get the damage buff

bitter turtle
#

shredder will knock down the entire group and bleed kill everything under maulers

#

are you talking about tinker?

final stag
#

Tinker does nothing for krak

bitter turtle
#

krak kills without tinker so that doesnt matter

#

tinkered kraks only give more monstro damage

final stag
#

Tinker on shredders increases range and damage

stiff cipher
#

yeah but more boom per throwey

bitter turtle
#

kraks have very small aoe and wont hit more than 1 or 2 targets unless terrain squeezes them together (not very reliable)

#

that is why they are not really a good answer even vs armor

#

auric mael will see crushers/bulwarks come in large packs

proud nest
final stag
#

I usually get kraks or smokes to save on a talent point

Unless it's my support exe then I use smokes

stiff cipher
proud nest
#

aye cant argue with that

final stag
#

It is funny to see crusher go boom

stiff cipher
#

Now I’m regretting naming my character Northrop Grumman instead of Rico

final stag
#

Shredders are also funny to have

Carry 4 of them that regenerate and deal a Lotta damage

stiff cipher
#

How you get 4

final stag
#

Demolition stockpile I think. Right skill tree above infil

#

You just carry an extra grenade

Stockpile is regen 60s

Demo team is regen 5% chance

final stag

Ah still it is right skill tree

stiff cipher

Ah

final stag

It's so dumb that veteran has like what is it 6 grenade talents? Or grenade adjacent.

Big booom

Paired with shredders it's such a shit show for anyone you don't like

I love running grenade meme builds

proud nest
final stag
#

You can throw a grenade every minute
That's average 30 grenades a match with 1/5 to be 2 instead! Meaning you could throw 42 grenades in a single match!

tall torrent

I don’t think you even need desperado for combat axe if you already have +10% melee from top

loud oyster
proud nest
#

dont need the stam regen i run a stam curio

tall torrent
final stag
proud nest
#

i am comfortable with my stam management as is

hollow ibex
proud nest
#

also i did take out recip

final stag
#

Maybe 19nof you're lucky

#

There's two ammo boxes per map

bitter turtle
#

if you start with 4 and eat all 4 charges of the box you'd get 20

#

not that i'd uh

hollow ibex
proud nest
#

my b im blind

bitter turtle
#

suggest that

#

but its a thing

final stag
#

Oh yeah

#

20 maybe 24

hollow ibex
proud nest
#

meant agile engagement the whole time lol

hollow ibex
#

Realistically it might be more than 20 because of grenade regen perks

final stag
#

So let's do the math, 2 ammo boxes per map.

90 grenades per match if the stars aligned

#

3 grenades a minute

stiff cipher
proud nest
#

not me maintaining a constant smoke screen for the entire mission

loud oyster
#

Does ammo box count vary based on difficulty?

final stag
#

And I haven't even COUNTED the 5% chance of getting a grenade off a kill from you or ally

tall torrent
final stag
#

So it can reach to like 100 if you're lucky

tall torrent
#

So if u use a medpack really early on it’s just gone

loud oyster
#

Weird, I recently had a game where I got three ammo boxes in a single map

tall torrent
#

What difficulty was it

loud oyster
#

Heresy

tall torrent
#

Hmm weird

final stag
#

100+ grenades in a single match is cursed

loud oyster
#

Could it be that there's a very small chance that ammo boxes randomly spawn?

tall torrent
#

If u ever get that again maybe post it here

#

It’s not supposed to spawn more than 2 ammo crates per mission

loud oyster
#

Noted

final stag
#

That's such a cursed statistic regardless but like you'd be hogging up the ammo boxes from your team and being a rather annoying teammate

proud nest
#

dont forget about enhanced blitz maelstrom

final stag
#

NOOOOOO

#

Who even needs a grenade launcher for the veteran when you ARE THE GRENADE LAUNCHER

vague smelt
#

What curios stats are mostly needed on a veteran

#

including sub stats

proud nest
#

i run mine with a stam and 2 toughness, with stam regen, 2 gunner resist/1 sniper resist, and toughness regen (preference)

final stag
#

I think regardless having toughness curios is always go to for any of the archetypes. Maybe with a +3 stam.

vague smelt
#

what about HP

final stag
#

Not important

vague smelt
#

Hmmmm

#

I see

proud nest
#

ye fire doesnt delete toughness anymore

final stag
#

Better to have more toughness to protect health than more health which will just go down

vague smelt
#

I see

final stag
#

Toughness has a Health damage reduction quality depending on how much toughness you have

And will protect you longer from ranged attacks

tall torrent
trim hemlock
#

Toughness Regen speed is also OK

tiny summit
#

Always ordo dockets in every curio. None of the curio perks were gonna make or break your run anyways

proud nest
#

stam regen hella nice
im a fan of it on my curious so all of my builds get it

#

saves me some sp

stiff cipher
#

Yeah stamina regen and toughness are my go to

tall torrent
#

Stamina regen rate affects how much stamina u gain once it starts regen

#

But it does not affect the delay before it starts regen

#

You can only get delay reduction from talent tree

#

Veteran has a 1s stamina regen delay and regens 1 stam/s

#

With triple +12% stam regen rate, you regen 1.36 stam/s

#

With a stam regen delay boost from talent tree, you have 0.75s stam regen delay (same as Zealot)

tiny summit
#

And still feels like ass with +9 stam

vague smelt
#

I'll just take gunner/stamina/toughness/dockets

#

Ugh leveling up it's soooo booooooooooooooring

stone tapir

havent played in a while. does the Boltgun still suck?

wanton dawn

Its alright

#

Top tier on ranged only maelstrom imo

The recoil on it is awful, even ADSing

stone tapir

eh, it always will be a blocky sob

stone tapir
analog mural
#

The recoil on a BOLTGUN is bad? NO WAY

junior needle
#

The bolts are rocket propelled, the idea that it’s supposed to have ridiculous recoil is made up by people who don’t understand guns

stiff cipher

A grenade rifle has kickback crazy

analog mural
#

Well it's made up by the people who made Warhammer, so yes

stiff cipher
stone tapir
stiff cipher
junior needle
#

Last I checked bolter lore it did have an initial charge to exit the barrel

#

But like, it’s not the primary method of propulsion, it doesn’t need to be stupid strong

stone tapir
stiff cipher
#

It’s possible after 5 you’ll be higher than your target

stone tapir
#

for some reason, they have the bolter acting like a 50 BMG being fired by a malnurished 4 year old

stiff cipher
#

But not for how powerful the recoil is but because repeated shots just won’t let the gun reset to where you aim so you’ll get higher per shot

stone tapir
#

sure, it does take some trigger discipline to properly get your (i hate saying it like this in a game setting) sight picture back, but gah dang, the 3rd shot is basically sailing into the moon

analog mural
#

Actually the conventional charge for a bolt shot looks to be about 80% of what a normal round would contain, and considering the boltor shoots .75 calibers, the recoil will be considerable

stiff cipher
#

Also tbf a space marines bolter and our bolter is different

loud oyster
#

Yeah, ours is much smaller

stone tapir
#

thats very true. our bolters are bolt pistols to a SM

stiff cipher

Now a human could carry a space marines bolter but itd have to be the guy whose strangely strong

almost inhumanly strong...

is the recon laser still bad?

or has it gotten some love lately?

agile forge

Marginally less bad than 2 weeks ago I think

It's the machine spirit reminding you who's in charge

The Admech built it in deliberately.

junior needle
agile forge
#

7a is a more functional variant with better (still bad) armour piercing and 6d is the meme gotta-pew-fast gun

#

And the 2 is the champion, worst gun in the game, iirc.

junior needle
#

6d technically has the most dps with onslaught

#

But that requires you to take onslaught

agile forge
#

You can use them as antishooter I guess

junior needle
#

Otherwise 7a and 6d get similar dps

agile forge
#

You could also use a CIAG and do all the same things, and more, a lot better.

junior needle
#

Yeah they need a tuneup, only thing salvaging them somewhat is how much juice the talent tree can provide. Any build that takes them is going to need to build around them for less performance than other guns baseline.

agile forge
#

Max DPS CIAG is just a joke

junior needle

Ciag gets over 3100 maniac headshot dps gray and talentless

Without crits

Depends on what variant you want to use but I frankly just wouldn’t use the guns right now

it's nice to have variety yk

tidal obsidian
#

@junior needle is the worst recon lasgun the tan one?

#

Or the green one

bright cliff

recon lasguns are better on psyker anyway because it's easier to stack crit rather than just dmg

tidal obsidian

Or the blue one

frank basin

He’s gonna say all of them worse

worst recon lasgun is the one with the lowest firerate no??

6d is blue
7a is brown

tidal obsidian

How is blue one better?

More dps

Roughly same dmg but shoots 400rpm faster

Mk2 has likely the lowest dps of any gun in the game

the high firerate one is like 2 or 3 dmg per shot off but has MUCH higher rpm

the one with the slug rounds imo

versatility is important

I think the ones with the shot shells with funky patterns are basically useless

if you have time to swap to a different shell to shoot a poxwalker horde you're better just pulling out your melee

On a 6d you can choose between infernus or dumdum, headhunter mandatory no matter what. flak/maniac or crit/flak perks. Anti suppression node is surprisingly the best pickup in that row due to how it works on recawns also they have shit finesse so weak spot damage is comparatively weak on them.

my favorite psyker build is just the same ciag I have on veteran, but instead of burning all my ammo I just use bubble and spend half my time stunning shit for the group

if they gave veteran the duelling sword I'd never look back at psyker

somber axle
#

Love the devil's claw. I need to experiment more with Zealot. I'm mostly using an Eviscerator build with Perfect Strike and Shred blessings for ignore hit mass on crit and stacking crit/attack speed for crowd clear. It gets really funny doing a charge with full momentum stacks and a rev'd eviscerator to run in and one-shot a fresh Crusher on the spot

speaking of I still assert that they should have given the commissar armor to the zealot class

if I'm using scriers' gaze I'm using the recon lasgun because the increased crit is more helpful when proccing infernus than just getting dps

it's not BAD bad

#

but if you keep yourself alive, you're not a martyr 🤔

i've tryed it but can really make an opinion about it

That's the funny

I like the other two keystones too much to be bothered to farm up 3 wound curios

tame lodge
#

I had bad rng, took a while to get those extra wounds, but hey, two from the tree and one from malice

tame lodge
#

You actually feel that extra attack speed from the wounds

#

I used to run it with a chain axe

#

oh the motion sickness

umbral scaffold
#

i usally go like this on zealot, stealth is boring

tame lodge
#

Or when free medstation

#

You can also go full martyr and never heal

#

Good luck

agile forge
#

Yeah, best to treat deep martyrdom as an enrage mechanic

tame lodge
#

Taking until death+plus holy rev+restoring faith will give you 2 wounds back when healing

#

10 points through Immolation Grenade

#

13 through Stunstorm

#

Hmmm, Bleed For The Emperor...

Brah who said mobility is the dump stat on knife

#

Just play ps if you don’t like mobility on melee

tame lodge
#

It's more of a dodge distance issue

#

Martyrdom is my favorite keystone. Can't go down if you kill everything before they can't hit you

white minnow
#

me cuz the knife's dodge distance at high mob is longer than its attack distance

agile forge
white minnow
#

hell yeah

#

makes me sad whenever i have to dodge with my knife

#

cuz i don't have any mobility dump knives at the moment

Pick your flavor

  • Axes
  • Power swords
  • Chainsaw
  • Chainsaw as a Sword
  • Chainsaw as a Ax
  • Whatever Heretic you get your hands on

Just whatever order I thought of while I was making the list

Holy hell Columnus V is so good

Vet has a solid collection of melees to use

#

To play with the melee options until you find one that suits you

stone tapir
#

Depends on how many points you want to spend to improve melee

stone tapir
vague smelt
#

I didn't know if you die after killing the archi heretic you lose

#

but why does it take like

#

40 seconds to the game just say you won

#

You kill the boss, just let me win

#

don't make me fight an horde when the mission is done

Can confirm

#

Dclaws are more comfortable to use than knives

#

Knife + plasma is so incredibly fun while using the weapon specialist keystone, and the one after where melee kills reload a small portion of ammo to your magazine when swapping to range

fast sundial
#

i think it is a lot more fun when you use an actual melee weapon

#

but i think that might just be me

paper mural
#

Mk VI slashy knife with riposte and flesh tear to kill anything without armor, plasma for anything with

#

Never have to reload inside of an engagement

fast sundial
#

either way weapon spec does funny things with plasma

#

Knife needs uncanny strike though

paper mural
#

Don’t need to be trying to kill armor with the knife

hollow ibex
#

If a weapon gets uncanny strike, you take uncanny strike
