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
What kind of weapons do u want to play
tbh im not fully sure most funn i had so far wehre the full automatic guns
Columnus Mk5 infantry autogun maybe
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?
Not really, you can check out my guide pinned in this channel
Goes fairly in depth into what each of the talents do, and has detailed breakdowns for every weapon accessible to Veteran
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
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2410061757595517827/63A7E4107A861866539BB977D38A34CBA94DF5AA/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false today i learned theres a special inspect animation for the knife
knife gets all the cool animations
tahts very simular too waht i have curently i just used waht sounds good^^
Found it by accident
Ping can be bound to your left click for ez one button proccing, but yeah all the vet keystones requiring some kind of adjustment in playstyle for use
It's perfectly fine to not use any of them
Left click? That's a wild place to put a ping button.
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.
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
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
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 
LMB ping is the ultimate troll
Thankfully I use autofire for most semis
It's not even that hard bfbdb like cheap gaming mouses for ten bucks or the scroll wheel lolol
Yeah I have a gaming mouse, I just don't want to press multiple buttons every time
for a second i thought bfbdb was some new acronym
It really isn't that difficult to press a single button
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.
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 
I know more players who dislike the LMB ping debate.
Pings are in alot of games and honest fatshark made their pings easy
They can turn off ping sounds
In the options
Just like I can turn on one button ping
in the options
Just annoying to see flashing colors or worse
When people spam ping when shooting at a target
This is fair, I understand the point
It's actually mind bogglingly annoying
What I'm saying is fatshark encourages this with their design
I wouldn't say encourages it since it's super easy to just bind it to a side button or scroll wheel
Side buttons are defaulted to other things, and ping is already on the scroll wheel
Like your thumb is naturally resting on the side of a mouse so side buttons aren't that hard
I think you are missing the point
Oh excuse me, dodge isn't bound to side button by default
Or is it
It isn't
It's on space with jump, which is dumb
Weapon special is a side button by default I'm pretty sure
Yeah
But dodge should be on the side button
I still use space but put my jump and mantle somewhere else
But anyway, the issue isn't easy access to keys for pinging
It's annoying to jump when dodging and get killed
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
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.
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
And I gave my argument that people without auto fire make it annoying
I agree, and they should try to be considerate about it
Most pain I've played in a game are with people without that mod and binded their ping button to shooting.
But the root of the problem is the mechanical design fatshark chose
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
As long as it's like that, it's going to be like that
But yeah my ping is MMB, never gonna spam it on enemies with the shoot button
Single shots that one tap are also easy to use for left click ping
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.
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
the pain of being left handed, gotta make the extra button press anyways 
That is actually pain I'm sorry for your loss/win
1000 hours of Vermintide baked keyboard pings into me anyways, wouldn't have it any other way
Pretty sure left handed mice get made
They do, but just not this one and I like this one
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
That's fair, it's hard to find a particular mouse shape/weight that feels good
what ranged weapon compliments a full full melee build on Vet
revolver
my broke ass still stuck with the Mk 14
14?
Agri?
I had the same thought last time I tried this
Ciag is also overtuned enough to use it gray and talentless
It's the only weapon my vet is still missing
Agri is okay you really have to build around that gun over the zarona which performs good at any level
You can go to brunt and buy one
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
Keep buying them 😈
fixable?
Usable
But Zarona has very specific requirements (on veteran)
Maniac + elite
Surgical + hand cannon
I rolled a 543 plasma that gets all its breakpoints just now
Spent 300k dockets, worth it
Actually a bit less than 300k
Incredibly low amount of dockets spent

If one of these has to go then which one
It's on a build where it's just a backup weapon for stuff my melee can't reach
Probably maniac
Elite is more important overall
Not bad honestly. You'll not reach breakpoints on some things but still good.
Just head shot them 😈
I'll make do, melee can take care of that
Consistency is more important for 1 shot weapons
Vet trading with a rager is ballsy
Maniac is QoL essentially
I need maniac+anoint on zealot just to get crit headshot kills at a fairly close range
It sucks
I might play the cursed dance of death + hit & run combo on Agripinaa braced for my martyrdom zealot

finally a weapon I can complete my contract with
Not if you have a melee weapon that can reliably break their combos on defense
Rashad and standard shovel have the bash as a special attack
That works I know that works on them
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
, but i just back spaced after the stun animation and proceed to spam my throwing knife at their head
They’re different
Rashad uses PA for stagger
Standard shovel has SP or heavy
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?
Yes
Yes, get it if you have enough coins
will do
Yay after I break 2000 plasteel to roll a wack ass one and then archaeotech shows up in Melk's shop
😔
hey guys do you know how i can complete best do the make every shot count achievment?
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.
@umbral scaffold also shooting into bulwark shields counts as a miss
You need min 2 players for private games though
Revolver and no ammo talent that's what I did
Then I just shredded everything with psword because lolheresy
like we said, revolver with no ammo/survivalist aura and just take sure shots. You should run out quickly enough esp if you get monstrosities
its not "cheese" but idk I did it first try and my aim sucks tbh 
What region are u in
Im germany
Sure
sure wehre
Honestly I only take damage blessings so I wouldn't know
alr thx
I would offer to help but im OCE and I hate playing with high ping 
what's the dump stat for knives? it's mobility right?
Yes
Mobility is pretty universally the dump, but generally you want 51+ so you get the dodge count
Any y’all got suggestions for completing the Long Bomb penance?
I need it to get the helmet
cheers babe
This bad boy aight?
Looks really good in my humble opinion after using a power 447 jfjdn
where is "all the way back"? 
first target is low, i think too low to pass BP
first target is the biggest difference in damage
so not ideal
well
it probably is still fine
as long as you get enough headtaker stacks
easy to just test it yourself and see
if you can OS dreg/scab bruisers
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
So yeah if you juggle enough I can hit breakpoints fast and just lawnmower through hordes.
What highdamage and kills she has ! she must be using the most overpowered gun in the game !
I most certainly was !
The recon !
best gun 4eva
infantry gun sux 4eva
what is the difference between the mk I and mk II helbores?
Charge times and charge damage most likely
Check the veteran Bible in pins it should say
This one
I love that I knew what weapon you were using as soon as I saw your ammo pickups
Honestly the gun with which I have the worst ammo stats is the plasma when i am not switching 
I should have a good one somewhere, lemme check
Found it 
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?
25
plasma consume 3 per base shot
though it might be stat dependent ? don't really care though
it is 15% of your mag. CIAG by comparison, a small pack is 2 mags
Oh yeah, misremembered that
CIAG ammo eco is something else if you don't try to shoot crusher with it
Video unclear. Spent all my ammo on the horde - Most CIAG vets I seen
I never used the ciag
Mainly because my controller aim is dogshit
Kantrael shotgun alt fire into long horde for best ammo efficiency 
Point at a horde and tell your Ogryn they have rations is even more ammo efficient 
ahhhhh finally a scoreboard that isn't re-tarded
....who is the moron whom made the original one?
hmmm today i will try on the new set
ive seen less meshing problems with skyrim mods
left to right endgame screen is an hidden scoreboard right?
I have send some adjustment to the mod page that were integrated in it. In a way i am one of the moron 
just put kill stats on it....who the hell cares how many plasteel one had collected
I’ve definitely noticed people ignoring resources as of late
idc....it's wrong
I ignore them
would be nice add accuracy %
I will check if it exists on Power_DI
Doubt it though
ahhhh now i get it why they want resource....cuz without it the sheer superiorty of vets compared to the lesser classes would be evident
Nah, i dont have accuracy. I do have crit and weakspot %
fair enough
that ammo pick up mmm
I had a similar game hang on
Just a had game that felt like it was 90% ranged enemies. Ended poorly for us.
did i win the lottery or no?
Pretty close to it stat wise I’m not a expert on blessing and perks for the plasma gun tho
stopping is a bit low but all the rest is fine
they are the right ones, once you get a 360+ with those 2 you have a weapon good enough to carry you throught anything
everything else is minor minmaxxing with plasma
gets hot and blaze away are already the best ones, anything more is just disgustingly broken on plasma
i guess you could have 25% damage on carapace armor and one shot crushers with crits
its a pain i still pick them up because i need them
but if i had all the weapons i wanted i really wouldnt bother
the game is fun enough as is without needing to look around for bullshit
Pretty sure I have a godroll of almost all ranged weapon on vet
Unless I really dont care about it
its a plasma gun it doesnt even need perks
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
Just had an Auric game w/ a Exec vet running Vrak mrk 7 and a bloody chaxe, the guy didn't even have grenade regen... dafuq you doing playing Aurics w/o nade regen?

I don't run grenade regen on my autogun vet >_>
I play Aurics constantly with no grenade regen
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
This guy was trying to horde clear with said chaxe
It doesn’t have terrible clear speed
I know they're designed as elite smashers
It is, it has decent to good cleave damage, but I’m mostly talking from the perspective of Mk4
Mk12 is a little ass
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
At least we did finish the game, thanks to a rockstar of a zealot.
But it was rough.
Zealot is either the first or last player that goes down
zealot is a weird class
Sums up my experience when I play zealot on occasion.
i just play zealot by just overpushing everything until im low health honestly
Sometimes enemies just go "LMAO you die now!", other times I clear the entire horde by myself.
Ogryn on the other hand. "You see that big ball of enemies. I'm gonna charge in it!"
"See all those gunners? I'm gonna slam my shield down and taunt all of them, now pick them off, would ya?" Is the other type of Ogryn player I see.
With how much HP I have. It takes a lot to bring me down outside of a Bullshit trapper hiding in the horde or behind ogryn enemies
That amount of HP can eat a medipack by itself 
Burp I have done that by accident a few times 
Also, thanks Hadron, for once
The rare Hadron being nice
now disassemble it for the blessing 
Tbh kinda underrated (until the fire or the dogs show up)
You can block the fire of the flamer, the problem is the ground
I thought it only blocks it if its aimed at the ogryn, otehrwise it goes right through
I know that you can plant the shield behind a small cover to avoid the pool of fire
same; shoot gun
I was playing my Zealot last night when a shield Ogryn caught the attention of an entire stairway of gunners and plopped his shield down. Luckily no dogs and only one trapper I took care of. No Vet or Psyker on the team and the other two were also Zealots using Braced Auto guns. Helped a bunch because I could use my Revolver to pick them off easier
Good shield ogryns are magical
It's really good when it plays out just right where there is no flamers, bombers or disablers mucking around for those few moments
I'd rather have an ogryn just charge into the gunners and kill them rather than sit in place with a shield
If it a few gunners. Yeah I'll charge in and take some chip damage from it
A big ball of gunners? That depends on the current context
Tank ogryn can simply run in. Taunt to stun them. Then heavy to get toughness and scare them to let your teammates fuck em up.
I do that all the time as a tank ogryn
Idk I mostly play Gunlugger ogryn
It is
Yeah my ogryn has like 200 toughness and 3 10% tdr nodes
Just facetanking gunners all day with heavies
Heby give you like what 30% toughness per hit?
I run charge my main Ogryn ability.
25%
plus a extra 25% if you smack extra enemies
I just enjoy using PBB on Specialist wave missions and seeing my name on the kill feed covering the whole screen 
I have 3 ogryn builds
I only charge into gunners with tank since melee ogryn get fucked up gnfnf
So a insane amount of Rege if you can heavy attack chain through enemies to them
Bonus points if you have a veteran with survivalist next to you
Mow down the hordes
Most teammates I get when I play as Ogryn sums up as follow:
I charge ahead to deal with a dangerous group of enemies and leave my team alone for 5 seconds. In those 5 seconds I leave my team alone
- Vet player gets himself down by 2 pox walkers because he has a F in melee combat
- Psyker goes pop
- Zealot gets wombo combo'd trying to save the 2 idiots
hey Grimdark homies - any of you know a thing or three about wavelets and Fast fourier transform?
1 out of 20 ogryns I encounter are just skullcrusher users who don't know how to play

At least I find better veterans and psykers than anything else
Which is ironic
Psyker players who manage peril like they manages their money are actually the worst to play with.
My ogryns are either gunluggers that run out of ammo after the first encounter of enemies or masters of the Ogryn arts
Peril too high equal brain explosion
Doing most psyker things gives you peril
if you try to do a psyker thing and you're already at 100 peril, you pop
Like overheating?
basically yeah
Yes
And if you go over 100% you climax in the name of the emperor
Except it doesn't damage yoy
if you run shriek, you can cancel the pop
So you have to Edge that peril
It heals you
and there's benefits to staying at high peril
lots of talents and blessings are stronger when peril is high
Hmmmmm
so you're incentivised to try to maintain ~80-95 peril
Higher damage, Higher toughness daamge reduction for example
And why sometimes I just see psykers randomly exploding in front of my eyes while just walking and doing nothing
you can quell your peril manually by holding R with most psyker things
Sometimes the whispers tell us that you can totally get another assail off during scrier's gaze
That's the psyker maintaining and Failing to keep their peril
the whispers lie.
Hard to get psykrr to a really good spot imo but when you do they can be able to carry a team
Sorta like vet in that sense
hello can some one pleases help my with on overwatch ?
Watch your back, dodge often, and USE YOUR DAMN MELEE TO BLOCK
High skill psykers are gods
even the best psykers still fuck up sometimes too
They're funny to interact
I like them
Good or not
For some reason
They're just funny
I saw Pygex blow himself up on the one game I got randomly matched with him
It made me feel a lot better about myself lol
Sometimes we lose our rythem and go pop
I get much less self-conscious when I make a fucky wucky now
not when your team meets run off
and get KO every minute
When I see a psyker I see a liability first and hope I'm wrong
Fair enough. I got some time. I can help you with that challenge
I see a Psyker and I breathe a sigh of relief because the mission is gonna go smoother than it would if the slot had another zealot or vet
I like having at least 1 Psyker on the team
I'm always happy to see a psyker when I'm not playing as my Psyker
fr
I have had few games with good psykers 😔
Because the game is gonna go nice and smooth for the most part outside of the director saying "DIE"
I'm always happy to a zealot though, usually their gods but occasionally they're not and it turns into a liability quick.
I've had some fucking amazing psykers it's about the same number as good and bad vets I've had imo
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
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
Accurate
Fsir
Zealots are either carrying games and clutching solo when the squad goes down or they're the first to fall before the team wipes
It's why I have this "Zealots are either the first to die or last to die"
I did that today as a stealth vet. My team got slaughtered by rager pack fjndnf
Being a good Vet isn't too hard though. Any Vet who understands how to swap to melee and how to actually use melee is already above the average guy backpedaling and spamming plasmagun into poxwalkers in a panic
I almost got killed but managed to kill em all (I sacrificed my vet ally)
I'd like to say I'm a pretty good vet fjdj
I'm pretty solid as Vet.
Considering I use off meta
I'm a good vet
My average life expectancy as Vet is 50 seconds. Which is 47.2 seconds longer than the average vet 
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)
Why I have the mod that prevents accidental jumps while dodging
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.
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
Melk selling this... I am kinda temped but i dont know if it's good or not (I dont normally use columus)
its good
It's very good. It could be a little better
you'll be stuck with a B tier blessing
carapace -> maniac
swap out either blessing for dumdum depending on how you want
but apart from that it's very good
t3 doesnt matter that much for thos e2
Hit & run is actually pretty good for duck & dive + deadshot
its like ghost
Yea
so yes
thats real good 👀
I specified all “dodge” blessings in my document
I only have dumdum tier 3 at the moment, is that fine until i manage to get a tier 4 version for the columnus?
Works
I got this yesterday 
i run mine w/ dumdum/deathspitter and flak/maniac
you can do either
If u want to play deadshot, go for that
If not, keep deathspitter
deathspitter is a fine generic damage boost if you dont care for that kinda gameplay
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
I decided i liked the generic damage boost and situational range immunity better
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 
hit and run is nice for very aggressive play too
way better than stripped down
Dum Dum + Hit & Run + Deadshot + Target Down! + Duck & Dive
Is a pretty hilarious way to play IAGs
it just works
Or just use the deadshot part for burst
I’ll also say that hit & run is very funny for zealot’s dance of death
heres some eye candy for yall
i run this on my weapons spec build
Why Point Blank, though 
weapon spec build
Yeah, but, like, why
is for q swap + m1 + q swap
Sounds like a lot of work that Surgical doesn’t have to go through
i dont have to ads with point blank
Point blank doesn’t work the way u think it does, it only activates from revolver’s melee special action’s kills
no way
Yep.
Yeah, but you’re not making the most consistent solution, either
And yeah, if Point Blank isn’t activated on your regular melee kills
haha well at least i can swap it out
Don’t ever use point blank
I.e., there is no buff icon
Also for that revolver
point blank needs you to get a kill from pistol whip
its
Then it will only pop up on butt kills, and that’s ass
extremely tragic
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
So what does Elites do on a volver?
it gets the 2shot bp for crusher withotu needing to run carapace and also pushes you over for rager crit bodyshots
1 crit bodyshot scab rager
2 crit headshot crusher
Carapace doesn’t give u scab rager 1 crit bodyshot
That's so gay
Ik lmao
takes notes
That's such poor design seeing how the revolvers bash is akin to sneezing on aa poxwalker
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
If the body shot didn't kill, whack it
Maniac is for Crit bodyshot Dreg rager
It’s more QoL since you generally aim headshot anyways
But it’s an extra layer of consistency
Flak to elite
Point blank to surgical
That’s a real 550 godroll that hits every major breakpoint, congrats
Yes
kk
Low-key a good talent
oh for sure
This is what I’d recommend for revolver WS
With maniac + elite this hits every major breakpoint u care about
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
Reciprocity isn’t very good for weapons outside of knife & tac axe
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...
its a combat axe build
is gud for chunkin hordes
Go CQKZ then
yes
Reciprocity isn’t gonna see much use with combat axe
i mean ive got both lol
U don’t need both is what I mean
but yeah its alredy one shotting lots of things
Could grab better talents
recip's definitely not worth losing some bps
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
Try smth like this then
No Krak grenade interesting
It’s very situational
If you like turning people into past tense then yes it is
Also I like big boom
So I’m partial
You could do that with a melee or gun just as easily.
Yeah but red mist
It is funny
krak only really shines against monstrosities
I have kraks just a save a point and dump em on monsters
But if I want to delete monsters I can use my dedicated big game hunter build
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
Gotta get the damage buff
shredder will knock down the entire group and bleed kill everything under maulers
are you talking about tinker?
Tinker does nothing for krak
krak kills without tinker so that doesnt matter
tinkered kraks only give more monstro damage
Tinker on shredders increases range and damage
yeah but more boom per throwey
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
dont need if you have revolver
I usually get kraks or smokes to save on a talent point
Unless it's my support exe then I use smokes
Yes however comma BOOOOOOM
aye cant argue with that
It is funny to see crusher go boom
Now I’m regretting naming my character Northrop Grumman instead of Rico
Shredders are also funny to have
Carry 4 of them that regenerate and deal a Lotta damage
How you get 4
Demolition stockpile I think. Right skill tree above infil
You just carry an extra grenade
Grenadier is +1 nade
Stockpile is regen 60s
Demo team is regen 5% chance
Ah still it is right skill tree
Ah
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
It’s beautiful
Gifting frags like a demented Oprah
I love running grenade meme builds
will try like this next
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!
Swap reciprocity to CQKZ and probably drop 25 toughness for stamina regen boost
I don’t think you even need desperado for combat axe if you already have +10% melee from top
And with Kraks, it's "I don't like dealing with Crushers"
dont need the stam regen i run a stam curio
Stam regen delay is unrelated to stam curio
If I throw a krak at a crusher it's more like I need this roadblock gone because I don't wanna spend time on it.
i am comfortable with my stam management as is
Take field improv and throw out 20 frags in a single event
also i did take out recip
16*
Maybe 19nof you're lucky
There's two ammo boxes per map
4 you start with and another 16 from ammo box charges
my b im blind
I would 
meant agile engagement the whole time lol
Realistically it might be more than 20 because of grenade regen perks
So let's do the math, 2 ammo boxes per map.
90 grenades per match if the stars aligned
3 grenades a minute
This one’s good tried it with very poor revolver and did well
not me maintaining a constant smoke screen for the entire mission
Does ammo box count vary based on difficulty?
And I haven't even COUNTED the 5% chance of getting a grenade off a kill from you or ally
2 ammo box + 2 medpack per map
Scab faction no ammo maelstrom disables ammo box spawn
So it can reach to like 100 if you're lucky
So if u use a medpack really early on it’s just gone
Weird, I recently had a game where I got three ammo boxes in a single map
What difficulty was it
Heresy
Hmm weird
100+ grenades in a single match is cursed
Could it be that there's a very small chance that ammo boxes randomly spawn?
If u ever get that again maybe post it here
It’s not supposed to spawn more than 2 ammo crates per mission
Noted
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
dont forget about enhanced blitz maelstrom
NOOOOOO
Who even needs a grenade launcher for the veteran when you ARE THE GRENADE LAUNCHER
i run mine with a stam and 2 toughness, with stam regen, 2 gunner resist/1 sniper resist, and toughness regen (preference)
I think regardless having toughness curios is always go to for any of the archetypes. Maybe with a +3 stam.
what about HP
Not important
ye fire doesnt delete toughness anymore
Better to have more toughness to protect health than more health which will just go down
I see
Toughness has a Health damage reduction quality depending on how much toughness you have
And will protect you longer from ranged attacks
+16~17% toughness
+20~21% health
+3 stamina
+10~12% stamina regen rate
+10~12% block efficiency
+3~4% ability cooldown
+15~20% gunner resist
+15~20% sniper resist
+4~5% health
+4~5% toughness
And ofc +10% ordo docket
I like toughness, ordo dockets and stamina regen personally
Toughness Regen speed is also OK
Always ordo dockets in every curio. None of the curio perks were gonna make or break your run anyways
stam regen hella nice
im a fan of it on my curious so all of my builds get it
saves me some sp
Yeah stamina regen and toughness are my go to
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)
And still feels like ass with +9 stam
I'll just take gunner/stamina/toughness/dockets
Ugh leveling up it's soooo booooooooooooooring
havent played in a while. does the Boltgun still suck?
The recoil on it is awful, even ADSing
eh, it always will be a blocky sob
i mean, it IS a bolter
The recoil on a BOLTGUN is bad? NO WAY
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
A grenade rifle has kickback crazy
this
Well it's made up by the people who made Warhammer, so yes
Propellant only sparks after it exits the barrel
yea, so the only real recoil would be the buffer system, not the ignition of the round
Yeah so still a good bit but not atrocious
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
yea, certainly not enough to make you look at the sky after popping a few rounds
It’s possible after 5 you’ll be higher than your target
for some reason, they have the bolter acting like a 50 BMG being fired by a malnurished 4 year old
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
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
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
Also tbf a space marines bolter and our bolter is different
Yeah, ours is much smaller
thats very true. our bolters are bolt pistols to a SM
Now a human could carry a space marines bolter but itd have to be the guy whose strangely strong
That or they are a catchan
Give us a stormbolter that damages toughness with every shot fired
It’s an idea and not a bad one with voice of command
Marginally less bad than 2 weeks ago I think
But still among the worst
Bolter recoil is like lasgun recoil
It's the machine spirit reminding you who's in charge
The Admech built it in deliberately.
I would say out of the three, the mrk 7a is the best of the bunch, but that's just me.
Still the worst or among the worst guns depending on the variant
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.
6d technically has the most dps with onslaught
But that requires you to take onslaught
You can use them as antishooter I guess
Otherwise 7a and 6d get similar dps
You could also use a CIAG and do all the same things, and more, a lot better.
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.
i do like memes
And again, if you do the same concept but on an actually good rapid-fire gun, the results are friggin crazy
Max DPS CIAG is just a joke
do you have a screenshot for a good recon laser talent tree? or anything like that
Yeah I got ass, hold on
Depends on what variant you want to use but I frankly just wouldn’t use the guns right now
Posting recon vs ciag again?
i just like the recons
i know they arent meta or best performing, i just have the most fun using them
They’re dogshit currently, don’t waste your money when they’re liable to get reworked 
Just download the pewpew mod
You can change the ciag visuals and sounds to lasers
the what?
300k dockets for this last night 
Mod replace gun firing sound
It’s on nexus
And bullets trails
I am a columnus enjoyer myself but like I do dabble with the recon lasguns every now and then
it's nice to have variety yk
recon lasguns are better on psyker anyway because it's easier to stack crit rather than just dmg
Or the blue one
Mk2 is worst
He’s gonna say all of them worse
worst recon lasgun is the one with the lowest firerate no??
Yeah I don't know what that is what color is it
Green
6d is blue
7a is brown
Worst is the mk2, the middle variant
How is blue one better?
never really liked the middle variant either
More dps
Roughly same dmg but shoots 400rpm faster
checks out

Mk2 has likely the lowest dps of any gun in the game
whats the best shotgun?
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
Kantrael mk9
versatility is important
I think the ones with the shot shells with funky patterns are basically useless
also, if you can DM that to me, id appreciate it
if you have time to swap to a different shell to shoot a poxwalker horde you're better just pulling out your melee
(or using ciag but ykyk)
whats ciag?
I still remember that one guy who said the mk2 was the best variant and then I showed him video proof
columnus infantry autogun mk5
Columnus Mk5 infantry autogun
Columnus auto infantry gun
oh
And he refused to acknowledge it
They like smg
the single best rifle in the game by a longshot
Just pretended it wasn’t there
I still got him
I do not see it
my eyes are closed
my mind is empty
Kazymir that guy
dont put the poor guy on blast like that he's still stuck in heresy difficulty
No joke
Nah he just show up
He literally posted a game where he had 4.7k rounds fired, most of it into melee chaffe
i pretty much stay on Malice, hard enough that i have to pay attention, but not too hard that i have to sit upright in my seat
oh like streaming in the discord?
Barely touched his melee
I mean like you can if you're good but like
His defense of the mk2 was that it didnt run out of ammo as fast as the others one therefore it was better
That’s why kek
Oh if ur playing malice recon lasguns are perfectly serviceable
just????? DONT MISS???????????
He didn’t miss
what he said if you're not pushing auric damnations and/or you're ok at shooters you don't need to worry about meta
You'll have to tell me which variant you want
And quickly
I need my sleeb
it is 2:24PM
the one you were recommending earlier
He’s european
time zones do not exist
I am not
7a i think it was
Gamer are flat earth believers
the sun! is above! my head! and I cannot fathom! a round earth! when the horizon is flat!
if you want slow and high damage the bayonet lasguns are just so much better
how slow? like fat person in a walmart disability cart slow or congress passing a bill slow?
yeah helbore. even the "fast" one works as a better dmr because the charge up attack increase is basically negligible
That’s mark 7a
yes but how slow...
do you want slow rifle or dmr
thankyou
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. Here's a barebones start, pick what you want after: https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor?id=9ba0657b-116c-4a8c-a86b-2655522cb163
6d is only the highest damage variant if you take onslaught
Killing crusher won’t be fast
7a takes dumdum for sure instead of infernus
Killing crusher will be done with melee if you don't take onslaught
i appreciate you for taking the time to help me with this, youre a Emperor Send
He just ciag meta user
crushers should be killed with your SHOVEL
like the EMPEROR intended
Him on Terra did not gift us with foldable pick shovels only to SHOOT crushers to death
cya later chaps, ive got errands to run today
it's a shame dad never recognizes me, my name is alpharius
but he always calls me something else
Femboyrius???
I don't even use it
I don't even play vet
Hey I am Graia brauto user
you don't have all four classes at max level?
What's wrong with braced autos 
I do, I don't play vet currently
I'm busting his balls brautos are fine lol
Or at all, I'm on break
its a zealot, GETIM
See me in 8 months when they drop 4 new shovels
so fun fact, #veteran-class is actually just for discussing zealot builds because the zealot class channel is always full of weirdos
Enough by the shovel we have enough
I actually can't remember the last time I've seen a zealot related conversation in zealot chat lmao
They talking about helldiver
my favorite zealot build is the charge ult with a catachan mk4 for meaty wave clear plus a boltgun with sainted gunslinger for dealing with armor + fast reload speed
also knives :^)
Devil claw with boltgun
I got advice on my eviscerator in there today actually
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
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 they gave the sniper hood to veteran, sure
I want to try making a hammer build next. It looks too fun
dcmk4 is best for the charge ult because your first heavy is an overhead, which is very good at killing one elite you're charging at, otherwise just press l1 - h2 and ult for the h2 for the juiciest crit waveclear of all time
hammer build is very fun and good for one shotting chunky dudes but the problem is that the good dps hammer has only horizontal heavy swings, so if you're not careful you'll get your 5000 damage swing interrupted by a poxwalker
Thanks! I will screenshot this to remember for after work
Idk man, if I'm gonna go gunker I prefer to go crazy gunker
Scrier's Gaze is so good
I recommend trying it with the shitty hammer first just because the overhead h1 is easier to land
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
The Ironhelm isn't bad btw
it's not BAD bad
but if you want those meaty 1-shots on bosses you have to use the other one
It's great for CIAG too tbh, the crit multiplier on it is actually crazy
Yeah, Ironhelm is a bit more all purpose
Still one of the best boss killers
that's just the CIAG doing the work
Well CIAG with a massive crit chance bonus is a big boost
and if you copy this dcmk4 charge attack build I recomment shred on the blade and a boltgun as your ranged. dont forget to take sainted gunslinger, it will halve the reload time of your boltgun
if you really want to dm me later and I'll send you my build
Sounds good! I may poke later sometime after I get home 
Average zealot chat notification
I know the Zealots are missing a few screws....
A few?
A few hundred
Even with a flamer you guys don't let them cook
martydom is any good or is le dogshit?🤔
Probably the worst zealot keystone but still definitely good and usable
but if you keep yourself alive, you're not a martyr 🤔
i've tryed it but can really make an opinion about it
I like the other two keystones too much to be bothered to farm up 3 wound curios
I had bad rng, took a while to get those extra wounds, but hey, two from the tree and one from malice
It's good. Going all in on the wound talents and dmg mitigation really makes you tanky and ignorant of dmg
You actually feel that extra attack speed from the wounds
I used to run it with a chain axe
oh the motion sickness
i usally go like this on zealot, stealth is boring
I also recommend resetting when you have 3 or less wounds remaining, specially if all the others are corrupted
Or when free medstation
You can also go full martyr and never heal
Good luck
Yeah, best to treat deep martyrdom as an enrage mechanic
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
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
me cuz the knife's dodge distance at high mob is longer than its attack distance
So not even just a dump, but a stat with an inverse scaling for you
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
Suffering from success
whats a good melee to pair with the pladma goon?
Pick your flavor
- Axes
- Power swords
- Chainsaw
- Chainsaw as a Sword
- Chainsaw as a Ax
- Whatever Heretic you get your hands on
is that in order of best to less best?
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
yea, i love the sword saw and ax's
as a zealot, i almost exclusively use the eviscerator
knife, so you can go pick up the ammo first
i like how you think
ngl i donno on vet i use iv on zel o ise iii
laughs in chainsaw noises
This is more preference based
Depends on how many points you want to spend to improve melee
the knife does make sense, considering how slow it makes you move
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
- British Shivs
- Rambo swords
- Axes but worse
- Shovels
Veteran generally wants more horde clear focused melee weapons
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
i think it is a lot more fun when you use an actual melee weapon
but i think that might just be me
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
How so
either way weapon spec does funny things with plasma
Knife needs uncanny strike though
That’s what the plasma guns for
Don’t need to be trying to kill armor with the knife
If a weapon gets uncanny strike, you take uncanny strike
i like melee and i do not like knife as a weapon
