Bleed Monstrosities
Which knife has 
I am running Recon VId with as much rending as I can physically get from the Vet tree so it works out in a really dumb way LOL
Onslaught is not rending
Yeah but there's the 10% rending middle node and the 10% rending Marksman's Focus node for max stacks
I am a clown
And I am loving my Exe Stance Recon VId
Marksman focus with knife seems like a very counterproductive thing
You're right but I like playing my goofy Exe Stance Recon VId with my Chainsword
I don't use knife on any of my classes at the moment
Dueling Sword IV Psyker, Chainsword XIII Vet (sometimes swap to shovel), Shield Ogryn, Evis XV Zealot
The mobility is funny and knife is fun for stabbing through crushers/maulers but I like other weapons way more right now
Yea without O4B, u can’t get toughness from bleed kills
So toughness gain is a lot worse than most melee weapons
I know they're not meta or optimal builds but I don't chase meta most times, I just goof around and make whatever seems fun
Only time I look at meta is when I am checking what blessings/perks would be good to combo with a weapon I haven't tried yet
To get a feel for what they're good at
Evis XV with Perfect Strike/Shred is a meme build and Rampage is probably way more effective but I have too much fun with PS granting my ability charge every few swings with the crit proccing CD reduction
Zealot screaming constantly making the Ogryn right to call her Shouty
BLOODTHIRSTY evis15
The thing is that the play style does not benefit from PS
In fact, it encourages you to hit those beefy boys
With the revved heavy for maximum overdrive
I do love one tapping Crushers with the Evis XV
I will try it if I can roll a new Evis XV with it
Good luck, karking T4 blessing
Just tried vet bolter with a random build I realized I had bookmarked and a grey bolter with decent rolls
Wow is it good
Not as good as urs
i wanted to double-check to see if i could fix the one in the milk shop
Slaughterer is inferior to sunder rn
And PC3 is obv not as good as PC4
Ur perks are better too
mmk thanks much
Terrifying barrage 
Yeppphhhh
hows infernus on the helbores?
Not worth it
Even on the Mk II it's eh
weight of fire? i dont have onslaught at the moment
Definitely not worth on the Mk III
this is for 1 should have specified
Def not helbore is a weapon that thrives off onetaps
But yea you want stuff like onslaught, surgical or no respite
In a lobby with 3 vets, all Loose Cannons with power swords
got surgical no respite for it
(I am one)
bro please turn off weapon randomization 😭
Ok but Loose Cannon is the funniest Vet personality
Cadian is always sad and the other one is always angry
Loose Cannon is always sarcastic and takes nothing seriously
Having a great time
Lady Loose Cannon >>> most class' personalities imo
Very true
I like Bully Ogryn, guy Agitator Zealot and French woman Psyker quite a bit
Guy agitator just sounds so pathetic you kinda gotta love him
Judge Psyker is very good and I love the French accent but her lines are very standard
She doesn't have a lot of fun dialogue
Carried very hard by how good the accent is on the character
Hard agree on that one yeah, it's a fantastic voice but i do wish they had more fun lines
Yeah that's why I run them
They aren't an asshole most of the time
Bro doesn't know how to screenshot 💀
Unregistered Hypercam
Picture of their TV because on Xbox
whats wrong with my knife
Weight of fire is onslaught renamed
alright so weight of fire vs no respite? i have both of those
WoF
WoF + surgical is the best build for Helbore generally
No Respite is funny for bayonet but bayonet is not nearly as good as it used to be
There's an argument for WoF + No Respite for Mk II
Or Surgical + No Respite
Fires very fast so maybe doesn't benefit very much from WoF but also since it is charging so fast Surgical generally isn't getting as much value as a Mk III or Mk I
(Idk if No Respite helps with any major breakpoints tho)
Last time I checked, nothing major
The target actually has to be staggered for no respite to do anything
no 
And the bonus stops if it unstaggers
It’s for bayonet stagger-locking ragers mostly
Which it doesn’t change breakpoints for

The most efficient way to kill ragers is still charge shot hipfire headshot at point blank range and instantly stab after it hits
Outside of just bayonet stab spam (which is 3 hits for both if u build right iirc)
If u have extra melee talents u can bring Dreg rager to a 2 hit
But you can’t change scab rager breakpoint normally
Mk 3 gets some extra strength in its shots, but i haven't found any situations where it changes my breakpoints
It has some extra breakpoints
Dreg rager 1HS with +maniac
Reaper 1 crit HS
And it has higher carapace modifier than other 2 variants
i'll need to play around with it more that sounds good actually
The iron sights are goated
if you go all in, you can one shot crushers with a crit shot in exe
I trust the claim, not the reliability
I wanted to upgrade a bricked gun with 380 base stats and the very first grey I bought off Brunt was also 380 base stats. Emperor be praised
What's the highest you could get crit realistically with the Mk III
With surgical, deadshot, etc... ?
There's that node for 10% crit for the first 10% of your shots after a reload, Deadshot for 25% as long as you have Stam, the 5% crit node
yeah it's really annoying to actually hit in game
Then add in Surgical and you could pretty much almost guarantee a crit when you want it, yeah?
When i check crit build they get 35% average on a full length game
Hmm
Its pretty good
Wait
Surgical can be a guaranteed crit can't it?
+10% crit chance every 0.3 sec ads up to 10 stacks
So the reliability just means you'd have to time it properly and watch the stacks to ensure it pushes your crit to 100% when you need to Exe Stance Crusher head tap, right?
Yeah, kinda
just don't get jumped while doing that
Probably unrealistic for a real match where things get hectic and waiting for the stacks isn't always possible
But technically possible to always get the one tap headshot Crusher kill every time
I mean, i have a os setup on ps6 against crusher that does not need crit. But waiting 8 stacks of tag is not reliable either 
and you have to fight the monkey brain telling you "accuracy through volume"
i frequently lose that fight
If you're not hugging the horde, you have time
Same
I feed that monkey brain by using my Recon VId in matches
When I feel like playing with patience I tend to swap to my Kantrael XII for lining up heads
So satisfying wiping out a room of gunners and shotgunners just tapping heads one after the other
Not as good as the Kantrael Mg1a
But I love the feel of the XII
Probably nostalgic for the launch days when it was OP
When i feel patient i bring boltah
Bolter is also good but my monkey brain yells at me to magdump into every crusher, mauler and bulwark I see
I line up head except its the body but it doesnt matter cuz the target still dies 
Muties too
poxwalkers too
Magdumping can be a good choice. Its rare though
Still better than bracing an agri
Which is not terrible but just a waste of time 
I prefer to stab it if i can
I know some people swear by the braced autoguns but wow I hate how they feel vs any other gun
Skewed slug
Well, i only play the agri one. It is great with exe stance
cleaving autogun is no joke
I know they can be very effective in the right hands and with practice and the right build they would be strong for me too. I just don't like how the gun feels
The agri braced cleave is funny though
I understand. I dont like lasgun at all
b-but 380
Sustained fire might be alright. The rest is...
Could swap Falter for Weight of Fire then change out one of the perks for Flak maybe but it's a rough one
Very pretty 380 with awkward perks and blessings
Afaik Mk I is the easiest to build for though
You can get it now and wait for the crafting update, but you know, high hopes are not for everyone
Mk II has more strict things it needs for certain breakpoints
Afaik Mk II wants unarmoured?? Weird gun
But so beautiful with the perfect roll
One of my favs
does vet get any crit bonuses?
because i have this here and i have 0 clue what to swap for what
Anyone willing to take my veteran along on their runs?
this is a moment in history
Ahahah, you are POOR
i can sell this guy prolly
Starch and water
and this?
Idk i dont use either
The mk3 shovel is a weird one
it's been some time since i've used a chainsword and that was the 13g
gone, reduced to dockets
Devastating Strike is bad as far as I've read from others here. Shred probably helps it along but tbh even changing both blessings leaves it with bad finesse
Probably for the best it was scrapped for dockets
scrapped shovel
agripinna but lower mag count means you gotta aim more
agrippina for sure, graia just feels...off to me
are recon lasguns still dogwater peepee doodoo
yes
damn
Just take a CIAG and mod it so it looks like it's shooting lasers
If you don't like ciag, agripinaa is pretty fun and good
There can be something done with any of those two?
you can dismantle them for blessings for the better revolver /s
Right perk seems alright but am no revolver expert
All blessings sucks
Dunno about unyield on rev
Those blessings are kind of meh
I have some t4 blessings.
More ask if it will be usable until something better didnt show up.
I like Handcannon and Surgical, but I use Zarona not Agri
agri is very much a spam gun so yea
ideally I'd want to run trickshoot with crucian but if you're not very confident in gambling for headshots and don't care for boss dps
then you might aswell go for another blessing
like handcannon or throw another crit blessing in there
Thanks, gona cheak how it work out.
Recon VId is ok with Infernus IV/Head Hunter IV and the right talent set up but don't expect it to be CIAG or Plasma gun tier
still ok but not OP
but also very funny with Shock Trooper, Dead Shot and three stam curios for +9 stam (this is pure glass cannon and it's maximum silly)
for me Mark 7A recon lasgun is good
damage and penetration vs horde is good/decent
rate of fire would be slow
already have that
im just waiting for the finesse buff
never ever btw
I think Recon is supposed to be workable with Onslaught
But Onslaught and Shock Troop means you don't get to invest much in the middle tree
crucian is just bad
ngl
even if you fan a lot
much better value from sustained fire
or shit, even run n' gun
since it has hidden close dmg buff
i still run surgical because i use it like a zarona and dont fan very much, but if you want to fan
i strongly suggest sustained fire
last time i tested it saves you a bullet on targets like maulers
Good to know
I haven't ever used the agri revolver anyway lol
if you want a perspective
of how meh crucian is
its not even better than surgical until 3rd bullet in the worst case scenario for surgical with only 1 stack
assuming 51% crit base (deadshot, maxed crit bonus stat)
surg would give you 61% 51% 51% 51% 51%
crucian is 51% 56% 61% 66% 71%
barely even a bonus until you fan your 4th really
and how many enemies even take the 4th bullet fan to shoot down
sustained is a straight up 20% dmg boost for the 2nd to 4th shot even if you do need that many boolet
much better
or just run surg like me :^)
This is my Recon build and it works very well, can use any Recon though I personally prefer the VId https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9b168584-971f-4646-ba08-5880abcd01a5/driptide-veteran-kasrkin-recon-lasgun-overpowered-rending?utm_medium=website&utm_source=gameslantern&utm_campaign=share_button
you can build agripina to be a really funny McCree High Noon fan the hammer gun
that's not even mine LMFAO
people talk down on agripina with crucian but it's a beautiful baby in the right hands like any gun and favours a very bursty playstyle that lets you blow through bosses, crushers, maulers, bulwarks, etc. faster than zarona
wdym people talk down on it
zarona is better for carefully setting up shots and playing backline
im actually going against the grain
bruh
when i say dont run crucian
are you not people

you can do surgical or crucian on it but if you wanna do funny fan the hammer bursty empty the gun for fun memes crucian is better
you're not seriously arguing for using sustained fire as a blessing are you
does it help with like
explain how 20% damage on over half your shots is worse than an extremely minor crit boost until you've expended your 3rd bullet
breakpoints
which ones
wouldn't crits also perform the same effect
you already have 51% crit base on a revolver
if it atkes 3 bullets
are you really telling me
a 5% extra crit chance on your 2nd bullet
and 10% on the third
I don't run revolvers much tbh but it seems more fun to double down on what makes the gun funny vs trying to turn it into a zarona
is better than a straight up 20% damage boost on 2nd and 3rd
because if you try to play an agripina revolver like a zarona
you'll just wonder why you didn't use a zarona instead
about surgical
personally
i just dont like using zarona
its overpowered
so i run surg agri and play it similarly
that's not the point anyway
that's a fair take
zarona is very strong
use sustained
or run n gun
if what ppl say is true
i have not tested the part where it has hidden close dmg bonus
so idk if its true or not
do you use sustained with hand cannon
crucian is just so fucking low value
yes
you can just finne
again
revolvers have 51% base crit with deadshot
crucian would not even be reliable
if this was not the case
ur really telling me you would rely on crit as low as 10% per shot to proc handcannon?
if it didnt have crit bonus stat line and deadshot
lol
idk 6% crit per spent round adds up to offset that one node that gives 10% crit chance for 10% of shots post reload
which is really just the first shot anyway
nobody seriously takes that shitty talent
if you mean opening salvo
its garbage
except on like
meme shotgun shit
like fire only kant
I take it on helbores and my recon VId because I think it's funny
its
shotguns are funny with it too though
mediocre-ish on helbore
believe it or not
ive argued in favor for it on helbores compared to some ppl who say its not even worth it on hb
lol
its shit on 6d
helbore already can run ammo positive with crits and shock trooper on no ammo maelstrom
i would not bother
the gun needs talents on other nodes
if you really want more crit
base 5% crit on all your shots (and your melee) is way better
that minor node right before grenadier
lol
in any case
with the VId I grab anything that can give her even the tiniest boost to make her shine because while the 10% crit chance for 10% of your shots sounds dumb think of it as 10-11 shots depending on ammo stat since it can go beyond 100 shots per clip
then with shock trooper and deadshot
you spend no ammo and keep the crits rolling
it makes it very funny
I take the 5% crit node too
wasting a point grabbing that garbage is a point you could have taken to actually boost the recon dmg more meaningfully
take it all
are you skipping on a keystone
then
cause that adds way more dmg than opening salvo lol
I need to log on to see my silly recon VId build one sec
and im not sure how u can magically grab onslaught, rending strikes, elite dmg, and also a keystone, and also get opening salvo and 5% base crit
and not run out of points somewhere on the way there
I will share my meme recon build in a moment no worries
I was running it with infiltrate a while ago but swapped to exe stance just because it makes it slightly funnier for deleting crushers
plus the mini-game of killing shooters/specials to keep exe stance rolling is fun
even if you're going exec
kill zone is way better than opening salvo
well, i dont want to make it sound like im saying u must run this or you're trash or whatever
ok yeah I skipped keystone LOL
runw hat you like
im just saying
picking up shit like opening salvo is just hurting the gun even more
lemme share the funny build after I input it into the games lantern build editor
even though recon finesse is meh
headhunter lets you crit enough that MF gives a fairly significant dmg boost
since finesse dmg on it also boosts crit dmg
ive tested and its roughly as strong as max stacks focus target as long as you can keep the stacks high in terms of pure dps at least
I made this just for you
behold my clownery
it's better than the node for +15% ranged damage when enemies are not within 8m imo
and in this build I want exe stance so the extra crit helps push my crit chance stacking for more shock trooper free shots
shoot forever
people who chase optimal/meta will run plasma/power sword but I run whatever I think is fun and this is my fav funny build when I feel spicy on Vet
I like being in the frontline purposely dodging a poxwalker or two, or dodging incoming fire from shooters to proc duck and dive stam
keep feeding the dead shot crit spam
my baby hungers and she will be fed crits
you guys think the newest vet cosmetic worth?
looks nice but also looks mediocre even if i pick up the side helmet / headscarf
the robot leg DOES look really cool imo
This is your personal choice. If it looks good on your vet set. Buy it
but the set overall is eh especially with the original head piece
robot leg? i didn't notice
can you screenshot xD
yeah one sec
btw
nah im asking because i never see the previous sets before
i dont know if you weren't aware
I'm still in game for a few more minutes
i just realized lookiung at the tooltip
if u were looking down on sustained fire
i hope you realize the tooltip for it is wrong
i think there are a few really cool ones but im not sure if its an exception, or if the new sets really going to shit
the robot leg is my fav part about it tbh
and I think you may have made me convince myself into buying this + the other helmet
wait this is the new set? or u make this urself
I know there's a past cosmetic with a robot leg but who knows when it will enter rotation
cause i remember the shirt is like cloth
ya i was asking about htis, i thought this was the newest one
is this considered one of the "better" ones?
the mask is eh but there are other helmets to match
the only complaint I've seen by others is that it lacks gloves
idk how people rank the sets as far as popularity
I know Steel Legion and Krieg sets are very loved
the Cadian set is very loved
I personally love the Catachan set
i regret getting the krieg sets ngl
hard to mix and match, looks generic
i got krieg for my ogryn
I've wanted to get them but that's fair
the cloth one you mentioned has lots of jingly bits that move around
one more screenie of Catachan because I love it with the Vermintide tattoo
maybe lighting but look different from here
it's very similar to the robot leg set currently in rotation
the cloth set on the second page of Vet cosmetic rotation has the same pants but different colouring and the boots are more armoured
Catachan boots have cloth around the ankles
i see, i understand its thematic and lore friendly.
I feel vet has alot of cosmetic just make him look like generic soldier
if you wanna see generic soldier
this my psyker, i don't have actual photo though
The pants are black on purpose so i don't look like a cosplayer
I have exactly the set to show you
i dont really want to look like generic soldier xD
there are other sets to make you look less like Guardsman # 1238102983012
Damn I need those trousers
i just don't like these kind
and your cataan one
yeah this ne look cool too
there's also the really funny Atoman Noble one
red and gold
Fallout T51b power armour looking chest
end up looking more like a Zealot
it also has a very neat cape that flows when you run
I like the model, not a huge fan of the colour scheme though
I guess its neat if you wanna look like a zealot
i think theres one way worse that is alot of gold and looks super corny (not sure if its vet or zeal)
I think the only red gold done well is psyker's
oh yeah I love it
feels like a clown costume LMFAO
skulking in the shadows trying to hide from nurgle worshippers in bright red and shining gold
i feel look like cosplayer that tried too hard
Times you wish you can customize the colors on some of the cosmetics
I can show you the cloth set in a bit more detail
I have it on my Vet but I don't personally use it since I like swapping between the various lore regiment appearances
Steel Legion is a fav
the pouches, the inquisition accessory on the belt, the knife on the back of the waist and the canteen all wiggle
the cloth hanging off the hip sways a bit too
personally not a fan of the mask
but the chest piece is definitely worth grabbing
I think the shoulderpads are really cool
really hate the MTX shop model they have
there are so many things I would like to buy
and chances are I will never catch any of them
honestly same
I hope they change the shop to put up all the sets they've ever released and let people buy what they want instead of waiting bi-weekly to see if there's a good set in rotation
a shop more like Vermintide's would be nice
I would buy way more cosmetics if it wasn't just limited to whatever the newest recolour is
That'd be more ideal for me or even if they brought a larger catalogue every once in a month, but I guess they're dead set on not making money
or maybe ppl really buy stuff regularly each month, Idk
I buy something if I think it will mix and match well with other sets
There are a LOT of repeat items though
Just not the sets repeating
Grey bandana appears so regularly as a side item
yeh they take existing items, maybe change a colour or add a very minor detail and then combine it with other existing pieces, and then sell it as a set
If I want to look like a homeless person I'll use this season's penance cosmetics
Waiting to see the new penance cosmetics from the announcement for good looking cosmetics though
I guess soon we'll find out
🧱 ?
ngl i feel you are someone who actually appreciates the art and im just a normie who wants somehting cool but not too edgy
penance cosmetics change???
Flak/Maniac
voom
any advice on improving that build further?
that helbore works surprisingly well on crushers (even 2-headshotting them with focus and stance)
I struggle a bit with long ready time of helbore after swap though
take shredders instead of krak and use the point saved to grab longshot
been running power sword with slaughterer over brutal momentum and it's pretty sick actually
lets me one shot dreg gunners and two shot maulers
fighting ragers becomes very doable in melee
can you one shot ragers with just a push stab on the mk6? i haven’t used a psword in a while
fully buffed i would bet you can on a crit yeah
like without slaughterer stacks or brutal momentum
oh with that i'm not sure
giving up a lot of horde clear for that
but i see people say that brutal momentum lets u hit weakspot breakpoints
you are but it still clears hordes pretty well, you just kill like 3 poxwalkers per swing instead of like 6
with slaughterer your hordeclear is already very good
but poxers are not that scary anyway
no, it's bruisers that you need brumentum for
brtual momentum beats it out yes but not by a significant amount
the hordes that have armor and clubs
oh i like slaughterer for them too
no, flak armored melee
you dont need to make head hits
no, brumentum makes a massive difference
slaughterer lets you kill them with body shots
which is why it's a s tier blessing on basically any weapon that hs it
but whatever works, it's still a PS
in my experience it’s not game changing
yeah that too lmao
ps is pretty brain dead
it's less brain dead than most melee weapons though
not really
https://youtu.be/VDAUhd4pgz8 o really
I like it a lot

00:00 : intro
00:17 : melee damage distribution explained
00:43 : brutal momentum explained
00:57 : demonstration
01:30 : deathblow
01:39 : effect on ranged weapon melee attacks
02:03 : outro
right, but most melee weapons are light attack over and over
yah but most don’t wipe entire hordes in like 4 swings
i know how it works
right, so they're just worse, not more sophisticated or something
PS you actually have you have a bit more finesse since you can lose your charge by getting hit
and you dont have insane mobility like knife that can make up for bad positioning
i guess
i do agree you lose a lot of horde clear without momentum but in the games i played with it it felt like a decent trade in order to be doing so much more damage to elites
ig doubling dps (or more) against hordes, which is 90% of the encounters, is nbd for you huh
it kind of isn't a big deal, since in practice you're already killing them about as fast as they can spawn
maybe on heresy
like if you stand at a spawn door that a horde is coming out of, you'll not fall behind
on higher difficulties, you absolutely can and will be surrounded by hordes at all times
sure, but you still have one of the best horde clear weapons even without BM
your weapon, your call
i’m not saying its bad
i’m saying that slaughterer helps make up for what you lose with brutal momentum
yeah they're both good options imo
brutal momentum is good yes
agree to disagree
but slaughter is also good
BM is probably a little bit better overall, but you can't fight elites as effectively with it
you're not gonna clear a horder of dreg gunners with it
it's not just a "bit" better, but i'm not arguing this point anymore
as quickly
there's good reason why sunder and brumentum are considered the S tier blessing options (next to PC4)
slaughterer is hardly the end of the world, but it's also not at the same level as those two, esp since sunder exists
but like i said, your weapon, your call.
right, everyone is aware BM is the best blessing
i'm simply saying slaughterer opens up some interesting gameplay options that you can't get with BM without as much loss as you'd think
is sunder the rending on energized hits?
oh yeah and you can kill a crusher with one charge using slaughterer even with no crits
you can kill a crusher with just a push attack and its follow up, no need for the third hit
i think
i don’t actually remember now
that's super charge
sunder is increased cleave on energized hit
and yeah
that's one of the major reasons people take ps6 over ps3
could also just light attack spam to the face, but it's less efficient obviously, even if mechnically easier
i feel like three lights is faster than push attack followed by charging and then another push attack
or was it L4 idr
nah it def keeps the charge
without charge, there's no way people would give a shit about that combo
huh, i must be losing it then. i was sure it shuts off after the first push attack
no
just push attack then light
good to know
yah it’s really good
it’s what makes the p6 so much better
along with the flat lights
PS6 push is nasty yeah
i feel like its aim is a little wonky though
like it doesnt quite hit where you'd think
the push attack?
yeah
yeah with thrust attacks u always wanna aim higher
yeah that's what i mean
it’s just weird hitbox priority stuff
it goes lower than the cursor
gonna make a mod that plays fart reverb for every hit that isn’t a headshot
What would you change here
power cycler to 4, specialists to whatever gets you interesting breakpoints in psykhanium
whats better Maniac or Flak armoured?
flak imo
for PS there's only really 2 maniacs that matter
hmm actually maybe 3, tox flamer has 1400 hp i think
Not a 🧱 i think
i'm not crazy about specialists for PS since there's only 3 that you dont kill in one hit i think
yeah vs 4 for maniac, which are also basically the exact same list of enemies except that maniac also includes the rager
Hate those bastards
stacking damage talents on any power cycler 4 power sword is going to do the trick, just gotta rely on stacking those buffs a bit more
for melee or ranged? or both
should make positive osund whever you hit headshot
like uh
anime climbing noises

Tbh I know very little of 40k but I have some friends who are aggressively into it and one of them is into the Sisters of Battle with figures and does tabletop. I like the regiment sets from the lore my friends have shared
Yeah the announcement a few days ago mentioned new penances and puzzles on the way with new cosmetics to earn but they haven't shown what the new penance cosmetics will look like yet
It's the most recent forum post in the news channel here but the short summary
New penance system
New NPC to change personality (Change from Professional Vet to Loose Cannon Vet, etc.)
Tox Bomber new enemy type announced
New titles, portraits, poses, emotes
Moebian 6th Loyalist cosmetics announced
The post says it's due for release in April
late april, apparently
So we should see something later this month yeah
oh ya i saw that, but i didn't know penance cosmetic is seasonal
have they said what's happening with the old penances?
yeah the first season's cosmetics from just after launch became the redacted penances and some of them are only earnable through private games like the Pysker penance to Brain Burst a Daemonhost to death while the newer season's cosmetics are the standard rags that have the penal legion vibe
how close is it?
it might if you go maniac over specialist
figure you'll get 17% more damage vs em
can someone fake @ the regular here with the anime pfp
like what is his/her username again
very cool dude
pink pfp
japanese username
ah its yuri
Hey does anyone have a fun vet build for braces auto guns? I wanna try something new from being a specialist shooter.
agri brauto
Aight thanks!
Oh, I am finally using smoke grenade unironically me think 
Good, if you pay attention, some maps have perfect spots for smokes
if everyone of your team is in the smoke
you can mind control gunners to run in the smoke
Ooh I have one hold on, I'm not sure if you'll think it's fun but I enjoy it
It's melty
I win
i lost
Btw, I refined my clown fiesta build
plasma/ps with pc/sunder
I have a survivalist variant now but it is less fun
Oof if only dump was charge
I run a TR dump and it works quite well
Yeah mine is same, but Thermal actually does let you shoot like 1 more before overheating
Charge does nothing
Yeah after I posted that I came in third on tags in the next mission haha
Always nice to see other people actively tagging though
What for last perk?
7 more missions and I'll have Through The Mud and...I might have to start harassing a different class channel and learn about more than vet
Ogryn is fun
flak or maniac?
Flak
Any tips on what to change on my plasma? I could go IV Gets Hot too for that 50% crit
huuuh
I think shattering impact and gloryhunter myself
thats what I run
gives me enough damage to run an infiltrator build
Took blessing according to this pinned guide
blaze away is iffy
the only reason being whatever counts as continuous shots: if you so much as hold it away for like 0.2s you dont get the bonus I think
magdump plasma for big crowds, only problem is you reach max heat super fast 
its one reason I use it mostly on infiltrator build but it's that good you can more or less use it in vocs etc
kill elites like it was nothing by aiming for the head, two shot anything rager and above
Mine is..okay? It gets the job done
yeah thats a decent plas
Good enough that I'm not motivated to make a better one yet
I'm told my axe is bricked but I still really like it
My Psyker has 549 Surge Staff, 1 point from perfection
Numbers too difficult, must be the fever
Cool idea, but I'm afraid we have similar concepts already
Immolation Grenade
AoE + damage
I run this build w/ max toughness curios + plasma and devil's claw
mega fun and saves runs as well if people go down
parry for ragers, always charge shotguns and gunners with slide and also throw in stealth interspersed
plasma for everything else
krak for crusher swarms
flak
Smoke is highly underrated
It is very taxing in point
Luckily, vet tree is pretty strong
@potent iris Mod sticker plz
I will forward it on to those who control the stickers
ight thank you
Why are you holding it
Charged shots are dps and ammo efficiency loss 
I wonder how many vets know or play with that in mind
Considering how many players on the subreddit choose to have crit/weakspot damage on their weapons
Probably not that many
Those are probably more invested than usual too
Could see the logic if you pair with the extra 30%
But then if you have the 30% you won't really need another 10%
I mean more its just iffy in general, like aiming slightly might screw up what counts as continuous
on that note I've only seen two instances where charged shot works though
can be used to stagger a charging mutie (even though a headshot will do this, the hitbox feels smaller? on plasma while a charged will guarantee it)
and maulers if you absolutely need one to die if they start running up to you with ragers and you have no kraks
but generally vet shouldn't have too many problems with plasma ammo efficiency anyway as charged is more or less shit + plasma has a good refire rate and the single target dps as you said is better
Replacing crit or elites?
Crit
On it
Happened to wake up with leg cramping 10min in straight as got fever, so something to do 😅
Will have to do for now. Now if id only find power cycler IV for 2 energised hits, meanwhile Rashad to the head
Ehhhh
Not really what you want
Carapace can be ok but apparently others are preferred for practical use
Groaners and glory are scuffs
Yeah stat distribution isnt really optimal, mobility is the one you want least
Depends what you have now, could be stopgap before better
noe
ok i got story i found the speedrun zealot he activate every enemy in ma he got downed mid way so naturally he "/rejoin " spawn close to me try to kill me bcs last man standing he got downed again so he just fully died he dc i died after he rage quit
next game same person same strategy he activate deamonhost tried to dc so it would kill me... game let him died from deamonhost doesnt granting him disconnect properly he failed to kill me 2 times XD
i got 10 minutes video of it
huh I've heard multiple reports of 1(?) dude doing this
where he just aggros the whole map, pulls a DH if it exists and then DCs and reconnects to keep going
my bad
The not so bad ending
vet tree is jank, i don't use any keystones on 4/5 of my vet builds
is this thing possible to salvage if i add uncanny strike? with this shovel you want carapace + unyielding on this instead of flak dont you?
I have maniac on mine to bully ragers better but yeah drop limbsplitter for Uncanny and groaners for whatever
flak+maniac/unarmored
so i can keep flak and slap unarmored on it? no unyielding or carpace?
basic shovel is bad at carapace
Not sure with uncanny but still its a horde stagger weapon
I do find scab melee only Maelstrom's fun, especially now that i have a power sword with Sunder, krak grenades of course
Won't he run out of matchable players very fast 
others just leave when died and see speedrunning zelaot
Is it the same guy you and I just played with? I reported him, he's still doing it. The DH killed me when he d/c'd
See, it works stoneless
Strong, that's my point
yes
XD
i could get to his match
somehow
i still playing with him
I submitted a ticket to report him, dude was griefing to hell
even to throw the payload off the map wtf
auric damnation
oh wow
Wow
My guess is either they're a bored heresy hero who isn't going to notice a drop in player count by losing auric damnation players or zealot isn't their main so they don't care if people block that character
Does blocking stop someone accountwide?

surprised kick didnt pass everytime then
adn pressing the kick xD
Dang
the ogry probably didnt know or see
ahh yeah maybe
Kick pass rarely passes because at least one person won't know what's going on because they are so immersed 
yea can't name and shame in here HOWEVER, I saw what you deleted and yeah that dude has apparently been doing this a lot
fancy that

can we just ban this guy so he will only get solo matches and play by him self 
^
Cool model
drg bolter
more like the keystones are basically useless
general nodes are more useful, particularly for grenade spam
Just dropping my daily against the Emperor
Laspistol vs Monstrosities on Specialist spawn is fun don't pay attention on my other damage my melee weapon sucks
Anyone here run into the issue where firing an auto gun just deletes sound? Anytime I pull the trigger I just hear the bullet casings hit the floor Lmfao. I’ve had this randomly in the past but never found a solid way to fix it.
if you like grenade spam so much do you know about shotguns with full bore buffing nades?
Most blessing buff 'nades damage
finally tried melee Vet again
love the knife so much
so fast
zooming around stabbing everything
I still play PS with melee vet 
I gotta be SPEEDY
I gotta cut hordes down
though also I feel like I should apologize to the zealot in my last run because I was using infiltrate with the -90% threat talent node and whenever 8-10 ragers spawned I'd hit stealth then stand inside him and stab things while they all aggro'd onto him instead
he was fine but wow I feel bad
and they spawned a LOT wow
ai director is so funny lately
was probably happy to be spilling so much blood
Same its just so good
Feels great with atk speed buffs
Block cancel on the activation on the 6 goes a long way
Btw, blue stim is monstruous on plasma/ps6
Red is better for autoguns
But blue plasma makes you shoot 2 times faster for 1/4 the heat 
People underestimate the power of celerity, from my experience at least 
The best stim is green stim because I can non-consensually inject a martyrdom zealot with it to make them deal less damage so I can win the scoreboard and therefore the game.

Imagine losing cuz bot is NOT saving you from trap despite being on top of you
This is worst than losing solo
I fucking hate the bots in this game
I like then they're are still trying to attack enemies inside the elevator 
Bots are alright if they replace a quitter, briefly.
1 and 2 both stab
3 slashes
The 2 is the lighter version of them all
it's really good
nah, still slow as fuck lmao
i logged in to get a 380 helbore 2
I love stab spamming the 2, even works against packs of ragers
Crusher and mauler. Have a melee good against those
helbores are fucking real
i dont remember which one i used to level vet but it legit cleared better than my melee until like level 25
i have an ok mk3 shovel
no idea what the mark 3 is like, only ever used the 7
I have a savage sweep/rampage chainsword I was pairing with mk2 for horde clear, might have to try shovel
Plasma fun c:
Just hit things more
It's a "weird" one, I don't like the heavies
My "best" shovel is a Mk7 with thrust and decimator 4
Hoo boy do I like hordes
Spawn director- "I agree" spawns 50 gunner horde
I had a situation yesterday, room full of gunners, stalkers and one crusher, the horde was hugging us
I let the Graia IV roar at the horde and the gunners while dodging from the crusher
I somehow dodge an overhead while dodging in place since no room to move
I went down like ten seconds later from an overhead that I mistimed
Or rather dodged too much
Would've been different if I had smokes
While that would be true, I could've played better
dye figure deathspitter is worth swapping out for speedload
It saves you from picking tactical reload
Which means you don't need to watch your mag
Carapace isn’t of much use unless u have onslaught
I’d swap to elite / maniac
yeah i've got onslaught but even with i'm not feeling carapace much
Yea prob swap to elite/maniac
we have three VoC vets...
our toughness forever yellow
Another bot melee attacked a burster and I died
What the hell
All my teammates just got fell off the side
And then the bots did too
to take or not to take?
noe
which trinket for a mk2
2nd row, 2nd column
looks pretty cool
I use the auric charm (100 missions of each type) on my ranged weapons
where even is this one from? lol
Does born leader work when you're at max toughness but still getting toughness regen?
allegedly it should
yes
yes
It is still awful iirc
but it's less awful than it could be lol
actually I guess it gives a purpose to all of the excessive toughness gains you can get from the start of the tree
could maybe try a support build that takes that with every toughness gain available
This is mask my Veteran is wearing - but still has a no-mask voice audio
Definitely looks like it should have the mask voice
I am told that the "take-a-swing" blessing doesn't work properly, can anyone confirm if this is true or not?
Yeah it should.
Yes, I've read the same thing
Sad... I rolled a shovel with native take-a-swing 4 and uncanny 3, and already changed both of the perks out.
I'll still hold onto it in hopes that take-a-swing get's fixed
hasn’t worked in my tests
Welp... that's extremely dissapointing...
It seems like a really cool blessing in concept as well. (push back a horde of chafe and suddely be able to take some heads off)
the fact that I've read about it is a good indicator that it could get fixed soon
because it means devs have seen it too
Good, I have a build in mind
QA tested it just now for me and the voice filter (regular "muffled" type) does seem to work
When I'm constantly killing elites and specialists I have A LOT of toughness regen, combine with 50% aura and it's actually helpful
Interesting - perhaps I need to do one of those files check?
can never hurt
"verify file integrity" on steam or in the darktide launcher
Yeah, I kinda see it
I would love to be near somebody with that on my psyker tbh
do they have plans to have the "muffled" filter be audible by the player wearing that headpiece
cuz only having it be audible to teammates is pretty lame
not with 1 build
It is audible to the wearer too
does the krieg helmet have muffle
Overkill is not real damage and should affect your score negatively folks
bro turned them to paste 💀
Bro killed everything twice
Turn out smoke grenade was the secret sauce that lacked to my build previously
who would have though
Basically the build straight up annihilate anything that comes at close range, but is weak against ranged fire. Smoke solve the problem
Who'd guess that not getting shot is great
With that being said
Let's go, smoke value
I think I'm going to admit defeat and take a wound curio
I am not consistently good enough for Damnation with 2 wounds
i hate this game
That’s fine, practice more and u will get there
My stats are usually okay but I'm tired of being downed by some trash face slap from behind
Anybody here running the Vraks Mk 7? I've been steadily trying out all the blessing combinationa, was wondering what other people like to run on their Vraks.
just gotta check ur 6 every once in a while and be on alert
Oh my god
surgical + deadly accurate
unarmored / flak / elite
Brunt you son of a gun
How do upgrades affect that Thrust I
It still a tier 1 blessing
Thrust I / II / III / IV
Melee heavy attacks gain +5/10/15/20% melee power every 0.25s after being readied.
Stacks 3 times.
Oh no I just meant like, if it starts as Thrust I, does that change via upgrades or does it just sit there as Thrust I until you do something about it
I feel like I should know the answer to this question already
I still need desperado to get the OS on scab bruiser
it stays as thrust 1 until modified
but good enough
dreg u mean?
yeh
It won't change from tier 1 with upgrades
So is it just the modifiers that make it desirable at that point?
It also has a decent perk but yeah
