you just said it
please don't say it again
pfp checks out

crusader kings moment with my sister
Don't let they know that Hadron has a peg leg
Since Ex stance and tactical reload got buffed, i'm thinking of trying something like this for an agri shotty build. Thoughts?
Oh look a Bolter build
Yeah more or less
I haven't used it till now because I've never found a shotgun worth using on my vet
My zealot is swimming in 370+ shottys
@austere pine why the chainaxe hate?
Looks solid
Is there an equivalent of ogrynomicon for veteran ?
yucky moveset, throws enemies around without actually killing them but unlike the evis, throws them directly away from you and not beside you
there is but people hate the guy apperently
I'm returning from a long break, and the tree is a bit "out of my comprehension" on the synergies
hate ?
It’s the first pin if you want it
What did I do lol
Much more technical than the ogrynomicon
who hates path
He prefers dogs
Based
Understandable I like dogs too
How dare you provide a guide to the community with no expectation of recompense
NO MY BELOVED THAT IS NOT A GOOD DOG
Dogs are the best
Yeah I’m one of those weirdos that likes both cats and dogs too
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
get a room

Which laspistol is better?
how's your accuracy
god
X
Yucky moveset? You mean the mk4 don't you?
i don't think so actually
Use special to oneshot any mf who believes carapace protects well
power swords for veteran
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
never used the taxes, are they really that much worse than the caxes?
Yes
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
They gave hellguns to snipers 
Shadow buff to snipers?
and it's not a one time thing, happened to me 2 times today, out of 2 snipers hit
You summoned sniper actually 
5000/7500 self healing VoC done. (Roundabouts)
Then I can have one more green chest piece to choose from lol
brutal momentum 4, or swap elite perk on this?
or neither dont touch it and use as-is and wait for crafting update just in case lol
(Also: I actually removed Immunity to Suppression, truly found out it wasn’t a direly needed node lol)
Since they added the gas mask helmet from cover art I literally have all my vest loadout outfits have one
Except for stealth one, it has the bootleg one
I'd advice swapping elite for carapace
Or flak
also drip good or nah?
But not an expert here
Keep it as it is imo. Maybe swap out Flak for Carapace or maniac
it has flak already @ sallet
Flak/Elite swap to carapace
Not elite to flak
Carapace can be really strong on it if you run it with a weapon that doesn't do armour so well, like CIAG
It’s good but a lot of the times isn’t needed
Also that's a hell of a thread necromancy
See if u can find pox gas missions, it’s rly easy to farm there
Why did you comment on a post from March 21 lmao @tall torrent
Which post
Wait wtf

so basically, BM 4 isn't worth it, update the perk instead is the consensus?
it just one taps now I guess
I mean you were right but yeah lol
Very minor difference between bromentum ranks
U only need 200 toughness if u rly build for this breakpoint
Unless u exclude close order drill
No he means sniper oneshots now
Like 100-0
Wdym
@tall torrent
Although he isn't 100% full hp there
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
Ah
If he didn’t have any sniper resist whatsoever and he has <122.5 health, he’ll get 1 tapped
before it wouldn't go through the shield if you had enough thougness
now it does, 274 thougness + iron will, it goes through
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
yea u need 1225 toughness equivalent against it lol
u can cut it down to much lower tho
triple sniper resist and a bunch of TDR stuff
Bulwark HP was not buffed afaik, just stagger threshold
Should still one shot Bulwarks and in games I've seen people throw krak they have
Have your kraks not been killing bulwarks?
they got a 33% health boost
Was this a sneaky buff not mentioned in the patch notes
@tall torrent is it worth trying out taxes on stealth builds?
They should probably fire whoever writes the patch notes since they leave out such important stuff like this
yep it doesn't one tap without the talent tinkerer
...Taxes on steath build
Wh
Fucking invisible Irs
Man I must be blind
it's the pox gas
I read the patch notes when the update dropped and never saw that
get yourself some regulation zeta 1 12
I should fire my eyes for not seeing things
but I guess the ult remove the spillover effect? I don't know, maybe they fixed snipers as it was intended, but before I could tank sniper hits and I'm 100% sure of it
Now I'm curious if you need Tinkerer for Krak to kill Bulwarks or not
Remind me, which tacaxe has the most consistent moveset?
yes you do
Was it 4?
Yeah VoC gold toughness puts it past the threshold I think
@somber axle you can still one shot bulwarks without
Oh ok that's good to know
well if it's supposed to do 1225 toughness damage, and you have iron will, you take 613 damage, and it's way more than 274+ 50
Do yall think we’ll be getting new weapons anytime soon
This year
to save me from tears
So soon soon
Not until darktide 2
Damn
i gave it to someone special
not in damnation, and I didn't oneshot the whole day there in live game, so it's not only a psykarium thingy
And I was hoping for the heavy stubber too smh
I want to live out my guard fantasies
Give hellguns to rejects
Some of them were scions if we take character creation choices into account
guess you need superiority complex now
Word
I was listening to gaunts ghosts and the hellguns sound beautiful
Perfect weapons to fight marines too
well something fucky is going on then
mine do 4200 damage, not 4800
I went searching on Google to see if there's an explanation on gold toughness and the best I could find after like 5 minutes of looking was this reddit post explaining all the toughness damage effects and how they work
And if they gave it to us they could make us a bit slower when we have it equipped
yeah it's superiority complex. 4200 * 1.15 puts it to 4830
edit: it's 4000 * 1.2 = 4800 from superiority complex + fire team
Because it’s not light in the slightest
It verifies other cat's info but I do not know what makes VoC strong enough to absorb a full sniper shot
Until I am home from work I am limited in my ability to help
Imagine it takes like
6 ammo per shot
oh yeah it's the talent name, I thought it was directed at me cause you could oneshot them and were right aswell 
Best way to balance out lasgun type weaponry in darktide
Make it eat ammo like it's chicken nuggets
oh lol. i did some more testing and it was actually superiority complex + fire team
Yeah heavy shot would normal shot with slightly more power would be the equivalent of two normal lasgun rounds
It could be done
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
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
you actually also need fire team with that
Fire Team too? I guess after surv aura nerf that isn't too bad
yeah (fire team + superiority complex) or just the ogryn damage/tinkerer
What's the name for the speed aura again
close and kill
Close and Kill is better than Fire Team on stealth builds?
I know that surv is literally out of the question
fingers missing some texture , or its because of my character is taller ?
superiority complex on its own
yes in most cases imo. I'd only take Fire Team if it helps with breakpoints
Good to know
I also think tacaxes really shine on stealth builds since those almost always go into WS route
I found it
From the reddit post at the very bottom
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
Another funny gem from the reddit post
Ogryn just get 71.2% toughness damage reduction for existing I guess LMFAO

this was patched now tho, they made it multiplicative
Yeah it's no longer completely ridiculous, just mostly.
What's the new total for Ogryn TDR? 
It doesn’t work like this anymore
idk I just work here man
This patch changed it
wtf does tdr stand for
toughness damage reduction
Toughness Damage Reduction
It’s still pretty ridiculous because heavy atk hitting anything for 20% toughness is crazy
I don't think we're experts in ogryn tactics
We gotta lobotomise ourselves to be ones
Before this patch Ogryn were easily the toughest/strongest class. Idk where they stand after this patch, I've only played vet since it dropped
pretty sure they made it so yellow toughness now blocks any health damage until its gone as well. no more chip damage with yellow toughness
Well this explains why my friend who mains Ogryn felt so squishy on their Vet alt LMFAO
They were used to having crazy amounts of TDR
yeah this was patched in a few patches ago, it was bugged before and allowed chip
yeah ogryn tankiness was straight up ridiculous
Wait they nerfed Ogryn/
vet also has ridiculous TDR, but only on the first 1/4 of your bar
but yknow, VoC
doesnt really matter
they made TDR multiplicative instead of additive, so the total you can reach is lower than before
They nerfed the class's tankiness? the only class that can't use cover? sounds fun
VoC on a 30 sec CD and possibly lower depending on procs to the special/elite kill -6 sec CD ability reduction
bruh the ogryn tankiness was straight up broken, they're bringing it better in line now
Veterans on their way to be tankier than ogryns
You can also VoC shout at a Burgle who has eaten a team mate and make them vomit the team mate out instantly
You right, the reason darktide isn't very fun and everyone is leaving is because the Ogryn is too tanky
Glad they fixed that
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
Punching your way through a horde and Reaper fire without taking any damage was not okay
Pretty sure you can still kind of do that if you prioritize the reapers
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
Think its time to take a break from Democracy and return to the imperial fold.
Has anything changed for the Vet in the last 4 months?
Surv nerf
Say goodbye to survivalist
meh
It's not that critical
The ammo talent?
Yeah the ammo aura
I forgot what survivalist was. Lol
Has 5 seconds cd now
Ah. Well, shit.
It's not that bad as you think it is
More of a Gunker nerf than anything else
Marksman's Focus buffed, Executioner's Stance buffed, Bulwark/Crusher/Reaper stagger threshold increased indirectly nerfing Boltgun and Plasma who struggle to shoot open Bulwark shields now, Survivalist Aura nerfed for less ammo regen
Gunker ammo economy is fine tbh
No more 3d printed ammo
Gun lugger is harder hit
i still don't need to pick up ammo on my gunker if theres a survet
Gunker has Assail still
Plasma and Boltgun users are having a hard time after the stagger threshold hurts them on Bulwarks and the Surv Aura means they have to pay attention to ammo econ now
did they fix plasma charge damage yet?
The MF change looks intriguing
Can plasma pierce bulwark shields still?
No
Yeah, I'll probably get used to it.
So using the standard IA Lasgun, and the MkII Helbore hasn't been affected right?
As in, not worth charging
yes
Those are fine and arguably two of the best ammo efficient weapons now when paired with a little crit and Shock Trooper
Idk if you can still go ammo positive with helbores in no ammo maelstrom after the update though
Awesome. My primary builds haven't been affected. All I know is that I got the Darktide cover helmet and chest piece now.
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
Not at all
ill be honest my zealot use to have 100% ammo with a vet that has the ammo perk but now im at yellow/orange 
I'm coming back just to unlock armor and emotes I want.
…is it just me or do the spawns feel a bit…different?
Like. Not tougher or easier, just…different.
We can look like the teaser trailer guys now!
What should be perks/blessings on taxes?
The Darktide Seven
Why haven't I buy the game earlier for moebian 21st set :(
Also I did a funny idea
Via the weapon customization mod I put iron sights on lasgun
It’s a pretty mediocre set tbh
Veteran Moebian 21st doesn’t look that good
It would've fit perfectly for my MG4 build
Esp that the cover art helmet is here
I do have a build question
brutal momentum + shred / headtaker... maybe decimator
It's about taxes on stealth builds
headtaker + shred works too
Since those usually go into WS keystone
There are a lot of really good sets in game even without the Moebian Recon stuff honestly especially now that the cover art full set is available. Plus the Infiltrator chest piece from the stealth Vet penance looks top tier imo
It’s good
Looking mediocre is my entire thing. I want to look like standard Guardsman #3717261582
Not the Protagonist
We are bodies into a grinder and Hestia is the only one caring to write down what we do on the off chance someone cares to remember us
If I look like an NPC I am happy
Except even the bots know better then to use a recon
Oh yeah
Stealth penance set actually goes hard with the bootleg gas mask helmet
If Helldivers 2 has taught me anything it's that being more like bots is an issue, not a success story
Rename ur veteran as “Veteran” to role play as bots
Being like darktide bots is a death sentence
83rd powersword, still no power cycler IV
500,000+ ordos and one above 360. it isnt possible is it?
I really should
going for this auric title is kinda forcing me to play like a jerk
which one
10 aurics without dying
i can join you if need help ||im eu server though||
its all good, i'm playing with a group
i just don't like alt f4ing on them when I'm doomed
and hogging healing

probs not helping that i'm trying to do it on high intensity shocktroops

I am planning to try using Infiltrate ult, any melees that would work nicely with it?
Mk3 knife
For ranged weapons I think I am fairly set
knife is good, I like power sword and shovel
Trying to find out if taxes are a good pick
but I don't use stealth much tbh
Just remember one thing
While building for stealth
Surv is literally out of the question
I do like the chestplate connected to penance with Infiltrate, so two reasons to try it out anyway
Surv is out eh? What other aura would be good then?
Close and Kill
Movement speed?
Surv is way too point expensive to afford
Yup
5% more dmg aura if you need to hit specific breakpoints
I think I'll stick to power sword/caxe, I still need to collect blessings for knives
Where are the modbian 6th armour 
It's in game
Yes that's it
Womp womp
White & blue, unlocked at 4500 penance points
I thought it was gonna be like, at least a little black
Also, is going for suppression immunity stupid? When using Infiltrate?
None of the traitor 6th got blue darn
Depends on weapon
Well this is pre-traitor
is there a point to suppression immunity if you're using plasma gun?
We don't even see like
i can't tell the difference
I'm planning to stick to Vraks 7 or Agripinaa inf autogun
I mean
Only the helmet is like
Scabs are blueish shade of grey
Vaguely 6th
I wouldn’t suggest vraks7 with infiltrate
It’s a very point heavy gun
Cause gasmaks
I could use revolver too
Gas masks are from krieg lmao
It would fit nicely with right side talents, I am planning to go for weapon spec
The last armour set isn't krieg that's as much as I know
Yes, this is before they turned traitor
Yes I know
I think before them being deployed to Nox Alpha
I am saying that pre-traitor 6th is blue and post are blue too, just way more darkened
Because they learnt to paint their gear black afterwards
I really wanna know if stealth make taxes shine a bit better than it does everywhere else
oops i turned traitor

gameslantern
Many thanks
peak scion armour 
Yes or no
I know they're really not best
There’s a 2nd headpiece variation where it’s just mask, no helmet
i forgor the link lmao https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor
Don’t we all

The Moebian 6th mask for veteran looks like subzero from MK lmao
Guh can't win em all
Hell yeah, that's the look I was gunning for
bro is gonna restore honor to the Lin Kuei or smth
Uhh I cooked something, let me know what to change, I am clueless when it comes to non VoC builds, I suck at the game lmao https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor?id=9bd50e4f-888b-4039-b8e7-0d19360c512f
I appreciate any tips and suggestions
As honest as my permadrunk being is
That's a lot of investment into stealth sub talents
so i hate the revolver on vet
that's my starting point on that build
I don't mind revolver that much
it's a much worse plasma gun
and I am allergic to plasma
smoke eh?
Well yeah you can save some points
Not taking “always prepared” for revolver is uhhhh
I can try mixing something around
And for the pathing
i also don't like taking those three talents on the right side at top of tree
U don’t need “surprise attack” for ability modifier
would rather see +25% ammo, +weakspot damage
U don’t need confirmed kill if u already have out for blood
Imo if you're taking tactical awareness, I'd also take overwatch personally
This looks decent, I'll try it
That's what I rock with dclaw 4 and agri shotgun
I think u should just go knife lol
I actually do consider swapping to mk3 knife
I like mk6 a lot more than mk3 personally
I'd rock this 
I guess I'll go power sword and agri autogun/revolver to get used to this first
But I also wanna know how bad would taxe mk4 would go with it
then maybe expand

Try it and find out
No kill confirmed
If you're gonna spend time and energy
Thanks for advices fellow vets
Didn't use mk3 at all on vet
Mk6 is nice tho
I wouldn't go taxe
I am a lucky devil I won't waste so much time on crafting a good one
This looks really really good wow 
If you're running double overwatch
Because of tactical awareness
I don't think you hurt too much not going kill confirmed
You got alot of defensive options with grenade tinkerer and uh 60s smokes
Tbh Confirmed Kill is good but I've preferred Exhilirating Takedown most times
I had no ways to replenish toughness except ult
If you're consistent with clicking heads it feels better for toughness regen in fights
This is why I pick out for blood
Because
Weapon spec is just as much for melee as it is for ranged
OFB got buffed from 2.5% to 5% with the update yeah?
Yuh
they're using a revolver
That and Tunnel Vision
3.5% -> 5%
I mean either ain't bad
Tunnel vision is a toughness gain multiplier
I'd focus on you're using weapon spec
I'm gonna try this and see how it goes out

I wonder how good OFB and Tunnel Vision feel when put together
Have no ammo gen, so you're gonna be gaining alot of toughness back from melee too
Kill confirmed can give you so much toughness tho
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
That's also a good point
O4B makes melee kill give 10% toughness
10 stacks of marksman’s focus makes tunnel vision give u x1.5 to all non-coherency toughness u get
So that’s gonna be 15% toughness per melee kill
It's why for blood is pretty spicy
if you're not fighting any enemies that give you toughness then you're not in a situation where you are taking damage
That sounds really funny but I thought OFB did all kills? Is it only melee?
O4B is 5% on any kill, stacking with melee’s 5% per kill
Kinda, there are situations where you need to just bring back toughness like it's an easy way to bring em back
Oh, I gotta run this for
My exe marksmen build
Stacking on TV sounds even funnier

With a BM weapon killing 4 per swing, that’s 40% toughness per swing

Confirmed kill is not beating it at horde killing
any thoughts on veteran grenades anyone
how much time you got
I just started playing this game.. I picked veteran because I like bolter and plasma. that's my favorite guns from the table top. But I just got to the new grenades on the talent tree and they all kind of suck so. Open to hearing your opinions
Smoke is trash, shredder is the best, but you should use krak until you get the penance
Frag is most useful general purpose
Krak is for killing ogryn enemies & boss dmg
Smoke is a defense tool
Smoke grenades are good
Dude wtf
i'm getting varying opinions here lol
you need to throw two frag grenades at the same time if you want to kill stuff with them
plus upgrade to shredders
General consensus is that frags are best, the other 2 are situational
You know what else stops all that? a shredder which also kills most of those things
Not rly
No it doesn't
It really does
When you have a team that can kill targets that need krak
Right away
I don't believe dis
krak doesnt really have a purpose since your main gun should kill armored targets in seconds
I don't krak anymore
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
Kraks are good for anti armor and boss damage, but plasma and bolter already do those things pretty well
Uh
I mean, it depends where you throw it
It is
Niche
if you can't kill crushers and maulers with your main gun you need a different gun, krak isn't the answer
Yea smoke is primarily to cover for melee / reposition
😀 ugghh i'm grinding xp to unlock plasma/bolter
If I can't kill crusher and mauler with my gun I kill them with my melee
It can get alot of shooters and specials off you at least for ahit
1 doesn’t
2 does, but then again you’re using 2
okay so in that case you don't need krak either
Because of hordes
I don't, but kraks are point efficient on stealth
And like everything else
yes the shreddernis the best
But smoke has gotten much much better
Not rly
It’s good to be able to kill multiple crushers in a very short amount of time all by urself
Especially considering the point I'll make, it stops disablers.
that's why god made the plasma gun
Okay?
Krak doesn't
Damn
😭
It sucks
(It's not that bad)
But so many options in the game drop crushers immediately
Which hits them 1 at at time and needs 3 shots to kill 1
Plasmagun revolver
I like kraks myself, they're neat for mass armour and boss damage
Penance chest piece get, even though wipe.
I am happy.
I don't really like krak but I might take them if I lack boss damage
(Alot of my loadouts lack boss damage)
Well u need 500 armored target kills with krak for penance
Best to start now lmao
I'm very excited for plasma and bolter to be unlocked. I heard they're very ammo efficient
I have krak’d every single armored enemy I could for 2 days and I’m at 250/500
Meanwhile I hate doing the smoke one lol
I always make sure my build has regenerating krak grenades
Working on the Krak one is fine, been using Krak anyways,
Smoke u can do in 3-4 games it’s ez
Ah ok thx for info
Still, I got the chest piece for VoC, might do Krak to get pants first
I only have 3 veteran penances left (and 1 where I have to have everything finished)
Need 250 more krak kills, 63 more crit weakspot kills vs elite/special when under the effect of weapon specialist, and 2500 kills with 10 or more stacks of marksman’s focus
My only issue with that cosmetic is that there's no helmet or pants that match that shade of green on the armor
At least not through the commissary or penances
A fair concern, and in my case I whaled previsouoy for the Scion helmet.
Also I think the green backpack should be alright.
If you have the Imperial Edition, the black Mortis Backpack is also a nice backup colour cheat choice
Also the Backpack from the progress track looks ok with that too
theres no guide for martyrs skulls yet right?
Haven’t seen one yet
I only know how to get the one from chasm logistratum
It takes a bit of parkour to do
im too stupid to figure out most of them it seems
think someone started one in the subreddit
I've figured every one I've come across out on the spot
at least to stupid to figure it out before my team rushes ahead 
My team can’t keep themselves alive long enough that I haven’t had time to check for them
Also funnily enough having to farm for VoC penance has made me appreciate running VoC.
I am now actually 50/50 on whether I want to switch back to Executioner or not.
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
Might stick with my current VoC build then…
I do confess Ex Stance, I do sometimes like the outlines of enemies in dark areas.
Then again, I am running IAG, I can always just use the torch,
Are you just pressing VOC after standing in the fart gas on the fart modifier?
For the voc penance?
Drop all ur toughness in pox gas, then VoC
U can farm for 2~2.5k progress per pox gas mission
Possibly more if ur team allows u to
For VoC, am I right in thinking the revive shout is a trap still?

It is
Thx
Unless you know exactly how to use it
You'll probably kill your team more
Than actually clutching
Also, increased cooldown on voc sucks
Which is extra funny now, because I kept my Combat Ability cool-down curios.
I am now Darktide’s version of a TF2 medic.
Yeepees
Just spam shout to heal self/buff team attacks.
Marksman on the left tree - does the weakspot damage apply to close combat weapons too?
Yes
It’s also not weakspot dmg
It’s +20% power to weakspot hits
Ah ok, thanks. Will keep that node then.
Ok what do y'all think of this 
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9bd51d34-807d-4f7f-9fcc-c639a785d299/stealth-taxes-invisible-irs
Watching a knife zealot take an ammo box to restore 2 throwing knives while I'm completely out of ammo

I have ascended to a new state of being
And then you see him miss with the knife
This is why stealth zealots are okay to bully
It cost me my auric streak too
It’s aiming down sights
just had a 1000 plasteel game
which is better for a headhunter autogun? i have not played in a while so i dont remember
Hit 4 headshots in one volley fire without missing
you think 4 headshots in a row easier to do with slow weapons (revolvers) to pace your shots? or a fast weapon?
1st pic iirc
Idk I did that with Lasguns Ia
revolver shots have huge ass hit boxes so its easier to hit heads with it
hello roughnecks, is this any good?
2 questions, which is the best hellbore lasgun and which is the best shovel?
It's a good roll of a bad weapon
aw recon is bad?
Mk1 and Mk2 hellbores, that comes to preference
Yup yup
great base stats, deathspitter is decent, everything else is bad imo
which does more chunky damage? for the lasguns
Mk1 and mk2 regular shots are identical I think
Mk2 has faster charging shot
Mk1 has better damage per charged shot
Both have shit iron sights
Thats a shame
If you want automatic weapons try IAGs
is the new revolver good for precision builds?
@winter grove is the mkIII helbore not good?
The bayonet is really really bad
it's more niche than the others
now time to find a shovel i like
the bayonet does about the same damage at like a third of the speed
Just get a mk7, it's a no brainer
and in case you do want an explanation, mk7 has wide heavy swings and the switch mode lets you shit out a crazy amount of single target damage
Still no reviews of this funny thing
you don't use Overwatch? where else do you get your porn from?
i think that was the point of the build
I forgot what overwatch talent is
+1 stealth use but slower recharge
You have more up time with it though.
What is that, picking a not so good axe? 
Jokes aside eh
No close quarters engagement, no suprise attack
2 point dip for automatic krak respawn is meh
Because you got revolver
Will delete crushers anywaays
Now Krak.
Gonna start krakking my skull open at the sheer tediousness of this penance.
In the grand scheme of things I think you could get rid of grenade regen, because you're not that contested in most maps,
Especially if you have a 1 of each class pub game
And it just gets better if you have 2 psykers

Wouldn't be fun if everyone could do it over night right?
Yes, but 500?
C'mon, it would've been nice to give us, like
Over time it's fiine
I'm at 80... xD
You probably don't want to burn yourself out by just grinding one penance for sure
Already did that with Weapon's Spec.
Throw krak. Armored mob dies by teammate before it goes off.
I have the patience of a saint.
Though, grinding that penance gave me a new-found love for Weapon Spec.
Melee go brrr
Ah, it's all worth it, I have the poster armour now, I am happy.
krak nade penance wet fucking dream holy shit
hey i think that might have been me, i sometimes accidentally take up big ammo thinking its plassteal
i feel like melee only would be better to clup up crusher/mauler
i feel im still gonna get a load of em anyway
I like having 10% more rending than second stealth ult
Depends if you want to finish up penance faster. I don't run second stealth either.
Second stealth is gamer
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
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
Shooter bodyshot perchance?
Might be that
Either that or gunner headshot, I think
I forgor
I know I watched a YouTube video doing a big break down on every Helbore and what they need
I just forgor what it was
I will keep suggesting things to make you feel bad for not remembering
I am immune to feeling any sort of shame
I run Recon Mk VId and everyone, me included, thinks I am a clown for it
recon chad
As a MK3 user with an at least half decent build, it can one shot even if you’re a brainlet like me… not crushers or maulers but being able to 2-3 shot them is still pretty good
I also use knife sometimes yes
I am going to do stealth taxe build
You call yourself shameless?
Damn brother, I thought you were a clown like me
I will use literally any weapon except Recon Mk II and Shredder Autopistol on Vet (but I prefer not to use CIAG or Plasma because they make the game too easy imo)
7d
Worst one is Mk2
YOU SAY THAT TO MY FACE
It's unironically the worst gun in game
I think there's a really dumb and impractical way to 1HKO Crusher heads with Marksman's Focus, Executioner's Stance, Elite 15%, Ogryn 20%, etc. just stack everything on top of everything and with enough ranged finesse power stacks from Marksman's Focus and a lucky crit on a headshot it can make the 1HKO
focus target is enough
Does Focus Target with the 8 stacks node make it hit the 1HKO breakpoint on Crusher?
Probably but my builds meant to mostly kill shooters, specials and maybe some maniacs and maulers every now and again
I wanna play with it when I get home to see how much the Mk III needs to 1HKO Crushers tbh
Because only Plasma can also 1HKO Crushers on a charged shot and literally no Vet is charging the Plasma tbh
remind me and i can send you sme stuff later
I mean like of the Vet ranged
Though maybe Revolver too? But idk about that one
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....
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
Yes it can
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:
the main benefit of 7 is piercing through trash
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
I forgor again thanks
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
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
But not every weapon needs to kill Crushers to be good
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
I just really hate Crushers because 9 times out of 10 they're why a Damnation run ends in a wipe
Wall of Carapace that my squad is too scared to engage
They get backed into a corner and die
If I don't have fast Crusher kill potential I will be overwhelmed too
and then poke their eyes with your psword or something
It's not your opinion
Recon Mk2 is regarded as the worst gun in darktide
idk
i actually think
shredder autopistol is pretty down there
at least mk2 can use shocktrooper to huff less ammo post surv nerf
Shredder at least can regen Toughness on demand

But I don't use Power Sword. I got a Power Sword VI and a Power Sword III with Power Cycler IV on both, Brutal Momentum IV, Carapace damage and Unyielding and got bored of them both quick because they're so strong but also make you so slow
Peegun best gun cause it guns pee all over the place
It probably outdps Mk2 recon too
honestly
im curious now
which is worse
let m e try
they are definitely bottom 2
but who will reign supreme
I member shredder being the undisputed meta, it didn't get nerfed THAT hard that it'd be literal worst gun I would think
Shredder has good Maniac damage for shredding through ragers, muties, most specials and also very good suppression for putting enemy guns down if the squad is being Swiss cheesed too hard but otherwise is eh
It's just that other guns outclass it to such a massive degree
is
-80% damage
Also that
a "hard enough" nerf for you
Recon doesn't even have THAT
CIAG, AIAG, GIAG all do everything Shredder does but better at longer ranges against literally everything including Carapace
Shredder got left in the dust and is just a meme weapon for burning through ammo faster than anything short of a Boltgun Vet spamming full auto or a Recon Vet without a crit/Shock Trooper build
Remember when it was goated
I really want to love the Shredder Autopistol but even with Rending/Onslaught she just doesn't perform to a funny enough degree for this clown
yes i remember when pinning fire gave +100% damage 
Based
Even Braced Autoguns are better at what Shredder Autopistol does than Shredder Autopistol
No reason to use Autopistol unless you like it
That would be nice
It would at least give it funny meme potential for sprinting alongside Knife Zealots and racing them for kills
i wish shredder was better
Same
I would use Shredder Autopistol exclusively with my Catachan outfit
I like the aesthetic
Just not the performance
idk what role it should really fill
For a weapon that has bonus dmg on suppressed enemies it feels like it does fuck all notbing
a lot of guns can shred maniac
wait you around? wanna play?
Well for one it should probably be mobile yet it feels like your walk speed while mag dumping it is like the heaviest gun in the game
shiet
i just started one
let me leave
but sure
we can play one
okay after then
Oh I just read taxes are good at stunlocking shit
Man that abbreviation sure is funny
just finish yours ill join after
nah
i just left
etc
i sapwend in with like 30% hp and mostly corruption anyway
bet
It should probably have near instant swap time, instantly ready to fire on swap and let you have melee weapon-esque mobility. The Run and Gun idea sounds good too. Double down on making it a fast weapon for highly mobile playstyle imo
it's weird that the penance for using weapon specialist is so specific compared to the other 2
why couldn't it just be getting killed while under the effects of it weapon specialist rather than crit weakspot on specials
Yea it’s a grind
new update good?
and most weapons that prefer that keystone want to shoot head anyway
I’m at 218/250 for that then I’m gonna drop weapon specialist
focus target and marksman's focus are much more straight forward
Krak 268/500 rn 
what if i just never use krak
how do I ever complete that
Just when I thought I could get away from Krak grenades
Well there’s a green leg piece cosmetic for doing that
We are so back
U don’t have to do every single penance for Moebian 6th Armor
im back on btw
hi back on btw
thanks
Total penance points rn is 4835, u can afford to not do 335 penance points
Easiest way to rack up penance points rn is to auric damnation every mission
It’s a huge chunk of penance points
i dont think ive killed more than 100 enemies
50 for every map
im psyker man now
It’s hard because it doesn’t count flame barrels
Damn
so that's even worse than i thoguht
Poxburster I’m at 86/100
Just skip that one
It’s only 25 penance points
lots of penaces are sadge
You can afford to skip 335
anyone wanna team up and finish them?
Hardest class-based penances by far are on zealot
NA server?
yeah
I feel like the new Krak nade penance (500 armored kills) will take disproportionately longer than all the other new vet penances
I can join for 1~2 games
I get like 10ish per mission
for vet? yeah its the longest one
Which penances we doing
justine?
where are you 😭
reconnecting atm
im scared
U guys add me
Lovingly caressing the moebian's face with each shot
Call that love tape
How
Should do the job at least
A clown's luck
In a way that's kinda gorgeous. A treasure in itself
I want to play with her and see if she's like a Recon with a knife
It like one of those philosophical stories about a weapon that doesn't wish to harm anyone anymore.
