Since Ex stance and tactical reload got buffed, i'm thinking of trying something like this for an agri shotty build. Thoughts?

Yeah more or less

I haven't used it till now because I've never found a shotgun worth using on my vet

Also did a bit of maths

The total penance points u can get rn is 4835, but u only need 4500 to claim everything, meaning u can actually skip quite a few penances

#

335 points worth of penances

#

The most point-loaded section is endeavours which u can actually do really easily
Finishing each mission on auric damnation will unlock all difficulty related penances:
Sedition +5
Uprising +5
Malice +5
Heresy +5
Auric Heresy +10
Damnation +10
Auric Damnation +10
For 50 points total

I don't say it's ultimate

Chainaxes are a niche

It's specialized fuck you to armor

#

It's not the worst thing at horde clear in my experience

#

Unlike tacaxes

bright cliff
#

never used the taxes, are they really that much worse than the caxes?

winter grove
#

Yes

small mauve
#

did they change sniper damage or something? they are dealing an absurd amount of damage to me today, even through iron will. Like getting oneshotted when I have 230+ thoughness with iron will. Usually I would need to get sniped 3 times to die on my vet

Maybe pox gas buffed the sniper?

it has flak already @ sallet

# winter grove <@366562874039992331>

Sniper shot is 122.5 dmg with 10x toughness multiplier
It has the “full spillover” effect, meaning if u don’t fully negate it with toughness, it’ll instant break all toughness and deal its full 122.5 dmg to health

#

Unless u have sniper resist

winter grove
#

Ah

tall torrent
#

If he didn’t have any sniper resist whatsoever and he has <122.5 health, he’ll get 1 tapped

small mauve
#

before it wouldn't go through the shield if you had enough thougness

#

now it does, 274 thougness + iron will, it goes through

somber axle
#

Is that without any sniper resist?

#

Because like 1225 toughness damage cut in half is 612.5 and that will absolutely still smash through 274 toughness and still do the spillover other cat mentioned

tall torrent
#

u can cut it down to much lower tho

#

triple sniper resist and a bunch of TDR stuff

somber axle
#

Total 165 HP - 43 remaining HP = 122 DMG to HP

#

Lines up with other cat math

gritty zenith
#

Did the bulwark health buff make kraks not 1 tap anymore?

#

Standard kraks that is

Bulwark HP was not buffed afaik, just stagger threshold

That's a neat interaction. 15% elite lets you bypass Tinkerer to still get Bulwark 1HKO on Krak

#

A lot of builds will grab that anyway

small mauve

but anyway thanks for the info about snipers, I guess I could tank them before as I always had enough damage mitigation with like exhilarating takedown and other stuff I guess, so I could tank the 1225 damage before reduction and thought it was normal

Gold toughness will completely mitigate any single attack even those with the full spillover effect if you are at max gold toughness when it happens

vet also has ridiculous TDR, but only on the first 1/4 of your bar

they made TDR multiplicative instead of additive, so the total you can reach is lower than before

Like seeing a dog and going "What's in your mouth? You spit that out right now!!"

FNP nerfs and TDR changes arent that bad. Ogryns are still tankier than fuck with massive toughness regen on heavy attacks.

#

You cant face tank a gunner for as long now

hearty panther

Punching your way through a horde and Reaper fire without taking any damage was not okay

solar bone
#

Pretty sure you can still kind of do that if you prioritize the reapers

somber axle
#

Yeah Ogryns with that chonky toughness regen on heavy hit from talents and with the toughness 20% regen on heavy swing blessing on some weapons just lets them fight forever in a crowd

#

Never die just keep smashing

I haven't noticed a super huge difference because I was never doing the whole, ignore things for funnies. I never made it a habit to take damage I didn't need to take. It still seems ludicrously tanky to me

Awesome. My primary builds haven't been affected. All I know is that I got the Darktide cover helmet and chest piece now.

solar bone

I mean as in it gets the best damage at 73 charge rate. I see the chart is still in the pins so I'm assuming not. Charge rate effects damage even if dont charge it

confirmed kill is one of the best vet talents

possibly the best

I would run kill confirmed for something like, plasmagun I think they're both valid options in this context

It can yeah but if you're in a special/elite kill drought if other squadmates snag your kills from you, you may find your toughness dropping fast

You get alot of elite kills with the volver for sure

# terse idol Smoke grenades are good

I was going to go smoke grenades because i always use smoke grenades in every other game (e.g., Sicario in Payday 2), and I don't even need offensive grenades because every single time I throw a grenade, the enemy dies from me shooting it before the grenade blows up. So I was like, cool I'll pick smoke. But it turns out smoke is used more for melee? And I'm not really a melee person. What are your thoughts on that

VoC is the best combat ability for Veteran. You really don't need ES to put out ranged damage and Infiltrate is only really good when you're going for revives or speed running

# cosmic needle 2 questions, which is the best hellbore lasgun and which is the best shovel?

I rank them like this:

Mk II >>> MK III >= MK I

Mk II: Hardest to get a good roll for because it needs so much to even be worth more than the Mk I. You need high damage, high stopping power, high charge rate. If you have a Mk I with better in any of those the Mk I is better I think. You want Surgical and Weight of Fire (there's an argument for No Respite over WoF considering the Mk II is the fastest firing but imo WoF > NR) But a god roll Mk II leaves a Mk I in the dust. Both Mk II and Mk I have the best bayonet special attack

Mk III is for one shot one kill gameplay. Very high damage and I think with the right talent build you can even one shot Crushers with it. Very ammo efficient but also very slow. AWFUL bayonet swing which is make or break for many, and it is definitely break for me. But the 1HKO potential makes me rank it higher than the Mk I just because I think it's funnier

umbral scaffold
#

By the way

#

The bayonet on the mk3 swings faster if you hold and release

somber axle
#

Oh I almost forgot. Even with good damage, stopping power, charge rate, surgical and weight of fire you also want unarmoured on the Mk II to hit an important breakpoint but I can't remember what that breakpoint is off the top of my head

Tapping makes it stop and think about what it had for lunch

I know Power Sword VI can get 1HKO potential on a Crusher with the right build

Seeing all this recon talk really makes me want to build a Punishing Salvo + Sustained Fire build....

somber axle
#

Desperado and Focus Target turn it into a Crusher 1 tap machine (but idk what other talents it needs to achieve 1HKO Crusher potential)

#

Maybe it also needs 15% elite and 20% ogryn nodes

#

I know usually Power Sword needs charge shove poke into 2 light swings to kill a Crusher consistently

#

But you can talent into one shot potential with it

#

Whoops edited because I made a mistake

#

Not plasma VI, power sword VI

#

Fold Shovel can also 1HKO Crushers too I think

And those are all the weapons I'm aware of with 1HKO potential on Crushers

# terse idol Which one is the slowest firing recon

Slowest firing is Recon Mk VIIa but it gets highest per shot damage and according to other users better modifiers toward armour types than the other two. Mk VId is my baby and she requires literally every trick in the Vet's arsenal to make her work but when she works she can do this:

bitter turtle
#

the main benefit of 7 is piercing through trash

somber axle
#

Mk II is the worst imo because it lacks the fire rate of the Mk VId and lacks the per shot damage of the Mk VIIa

#

Oh right yeah the Mk VIIa also cleaves

bitter turtle
#

and yes

#

VII is the slowest firing

somber axle
#

I forgor again thanks

bitter turtle
#

im inclined to say it is the best variant after playing with someone from here at one point

#

but ive been saving my plasteel instead of spending it to try one myself

somber axle
#

I should give the VIIa another try because I took one into the Psykanium and was disappointed with how it couldn't kill Crushers anywhere near as good as my VId

bitter turtle
#

probably the correct direction to take recon

#

is not to do the crusher meme tbh

somber axle
#

But not every weapon needs to kill Crushers to be good

bitter turtle
#

and just dump all the points into making it good against everything else

#

onslaught is expensive in points for a tree that's already stretched thin
