to have their fun
You can’t deny survivalist nerf hurts no ammo maelstrom the most
Well they don't because only modifier removes ammo mostly
but honestly is checking the forums, and there is an awful lot of people there that definitely wished this game was Vermintide 3
i have an idea for a surv/scav rework. make it so pickups don't show up and are better hidden and have them show the icon only when in coherency with a vet with either of the two, maybe even make the upgrade show through walls or smth
You mean people needed a crutch
no please
that sounds more annoying than anything else
while i don't think survivalist is as necessary as it once seemed, there should still be an option for veterans who want to play in that support role to help their team without directly increasing the vet's own access to ammo, maybe something like born leader but for ammo pickups by the veteran
we want ammo, yes? we want surv/scav rework, yes?
No. Absolutely no
No ammo maelstrom is bad because there is no All the ammo maelstrom 🗿
because the problem was vets being allowed to overfeed themselves ammo and having access to plasmas and stuff
cowards
Idk I feel something’s genuinely wrong if no ammo maelstroms are supposed to be played with doing “make every shot count” penance in mind all the time
they ... arent?
make Surv/Scav Aura give 5% or 10% more ammo on tins/packs just because it'll be funnier to see people fight over ammo in quickplay and we might genuinely see some people grab Fire Team or Move speed aura instead then
but also the entire point of no ammo maelstrom is ... that ammo is very restrictive
"wow why does this hounds maelstrom have THIS many dogs"
it'll make it utterly useless for no ammo maelstrom
like yes, it does impact that maelstrom
It becomes melee focused. I've played a number of no ammo maelstroms w/o a vet or surv. Just means saving your ammo for actual priorities
more importantly it's no longer a maelstrom whose one real condition isnt invalidated by one commonly picked aura
but i find it funny that no ammo maelstrom has the highest actual amount of enemy hp to punch through
lol
like thats kinda ironic isnt it
and? you only go into maelstroms if you want to go to maelstroms. this means you can better prep yourself with the appropriate build
I like this idea but I think it’s too niche
resources are limited but total enemy hp goes up
yeah exactly idc but I point it out because others would
i think the amount of profanity usage would go way up if the aura gave back more % ammo on tins and packs
I think it would solve the problem of people relying too hard on the aura to carry them and help people begin to explore maps to learn chest spots for tins/packs more consistently rather than the inverse of pre-update Surv aura letting some guns do 0 tin/0 pack runs
Actually if you made it like 15-20% imo that’s a completely valid replacement
While I think an aura that invalidates a modifier is bad. An aura that is dysfunctional in a modifier is even more insane
I'm not very good with math tbh but if 15%-20% is the sweet spot sure
"allies in coherency gain 2% ammo on collecting crafting pickups"
I just think the aura would make more sense interacting with ammo pick ups in missions
I’d say it’s good as a more but not enough to be I get too much ammo
Gross
then give Surv Aura an extra node that lets it get extra benefit somehow for ammo crates
I’d have to do the math
imagine people running 4 vets for this
But from the top of my head an 80% ammo HH
and make auras stack pleease
A form of ammo regen for each class should just exist inherently if it's gonna be a mechanic at all
A tin gives 67 bullets
It’s more like “spam nades more” tbh given most of the enemies are very high mass + high health
I already don’t shoot much besides specials & gunners
powered up first mag after ammo crate, like in that boltgun game
aura stacking would be hilarious LMFAO imagine all movespeed aura Vets running 20% faster
With a 20% pickup it Would jump to 90ish
man i want tins to give back 67 revolver bullets
that's a really good idea
oh wait, plasma
or 4 zealots with cleanse aura always in coherency running grimoires
No
why no
anyway I doubt the devs read this but if they do please just change Surv Aura to make it improve ammo gains from tins/packs instead of giving ammo on kills
I swear it will fix how reliant people are on the aura
4 zealots with benediction stacking permanent 60% TDR and roleplay as ogryn, no thx
I mean I played my zealot w/o any vet in the team. I only used my agri brauto against snipers, bombers and trappers and the occasional rager or dog pin. Managed to not blow through my ammo until I decided to at the end of the mission
Or psyker seer’s presence
cdr?
Psyker can already reach theoretical 97% CDR
sure, why not?
make the game harder by giving us space marines, then
the good power creep
No the question is what becomes the cooldown when u go above 100%
No psyker genuinely gets to cut a 30s CD ability down to 0.9s, if everything works out in theory
reworking cdr should not be that big of an issue
i havent slept
I remember having to inform the harsh truth of how fucked we are if we ever run into a Death Guard on Atoma, cause he really wanted to fight one lmao
Practically it’s not as ridiculous as 0.9s, but still extremely short to the point where it’s basically always available
Honestly this is the best way to rework it, cause then it keeps the ammo economy in check but encourages weapons with poor Econ to conserve ammo but get rewarded for running the Aura and obviously picking up Tins or packs
CDR current application is
CD x(1-CDR%)
Eh we slap beasts of nurgle
Rejects are too dumb to get sick
Admittedly I’ll give you that but I feel like a Plague Marine is going to be oh so much worse
Hell I’m waiting for the Traitor Captains to be in the boss spawn pool cause it’d be fucking awesome to fight them outside of assassination missions
a party of 4 ogryn fucks up a SM
Sooo, yeah
Hell, ONE in close quarters
tf is a SM gonna do against a brain burst from a lvl 1 psyker?
An Ogryn hqs suplexed a terminator and broke its neck
OGRYN SMASH
i think the problem with SMs would be their super mobility
I very vividly recall an Ogryn taking on 3-4 CSM’s before finally dying
CSMs aren't in the game cause of power level, fatshark just doesn't want any in the story
1 Ogryn for 4 marines
A protag SM? Sure
A normal one? Gets slapped
cause SM/CSM tend to take over plots and storylines
we'd be talking about either the death guard or a nurgle chaos warband but like... they're still space marines
Youch!
I think is that one
I am okay with no SM
World eaters I believe
our rejects can more than easily take on a lone deathguard, it's just a story reason
At the same time I am down for a boss fight
When the Space Marine has a name.
I’m more Guard focused than I am SM
i think it'd be cool but it's okay we don't have em
I can imagine Genestealers?
But we got 4 🗿
more coordinated daemons would be an interesting addition
True, genestealers please and thank you.
We all know Zola is 'hiding something and she doesn't even realise it'.
Yeah again I see why there but at the same time to sheer amount of Beasts and Chaos spawns even though Nurgle is the most willing to give gifts and favors, I think there’s a big reason we don’t speak of the lower hive
I want to solo a geneastealer ngl
Genestealers any patch now
ah yes... solo a genestealer
Horus Heresy would have ended diff, if Sanguinius had a Dclaw
i've always known you were a heretic
🤨
She could steal my genes if you catch my drift.
Yeah you’re right h- silence
grendyl will hear of this...
Who rattled your cage?
Anyways need a Hellgun
have no mercy for the heretic
Yeah you’re right though Sanguinius should’ve just parry chained
skill issue on his end tbh
Massive skill issue
Have no fear, Dclaw is here.
🤨
Blood Pact Traitor Guardsmen right there
couldnt he hear the backstab sound coming? is he stupid?
i think spideysenses was created for sanguinius
Maybe he didnt update his rig and the audio cue didnt play
He didn’t hear the whoosh effect
post-mortem, but alas
Emperor should have just used VoC to buff his defense
why didn't the emperor use infiltrate?
Should've had a Shield Ogryn to tank the hits.
Sadly he ran Exec Stance
Hello yes can we have a sitcom of a Traitor Moebian 6th blatantly being a traitor upon the mourning star but acting and being fully into the bit of a loyalist
ah... unfortunate
Thanks Obesefish
OBESEFISH
Hello my fellow rejects how’s the missions coming along! He says with his armor being awfully warp influenced and has spikes all over it
Chaos marks every where
"Reject! C'mon, don't mess with that vox, you're not a traitor, now are you?"
"Me? No way!"
Shitty freeze frame
His emotionless green mask some how showing concern
"Oh, reject!"
And then everyone jumps in the air and he shoots someone in the head.
Sah! How comes you alls spikey! Like a sniveler!
It hurts when they punch you, slab.
No better yet you hear the sniper wind up effect before it freezes on a frame right before the laser connects to someone’s head
Lmao
PERFECTION
Zwoop
"Next time on: When the Tide is Dark!"
I’m going to no life Darktide till I get that fucking loyalist armor
What’s ur penance point progress
I want to do a bit of acting as a traitor but horribly covering it up
3100 atm
About to 100% Vet
I’m at 3710 rn
this reminded me of ye olde "when the impostor is sus"
Need to finish ogryn & psyker
Our “Loyalist” friend has a run in with the sarge
Fucking morrow is giving him the death stare
Is Brittleness a purely anti-crusher effect? I am thinking of investing into Onslaught on my MK V Infantry Autogun build
Can't believe Among Us is getting a TV show when our Traitor friend would be a much more charismatically evil soul.
NAH THAT'S ACTUALLY AMONG US
THEY ARE ON A SPACE SHIP
AND THERE'S A TRAITOR AMONG THEM TRYING TO FIT IN
Onslaught is basically exclusively for mag dumping crushers with ur gun, yes
dont forget, to get 100%, you need the hidden penance as well. fill up your Hadron's fun times exciting blessing stickerbook and get all blessings
the... what?
100%ing veteran and zealot was painful
"Oi, you."
"Yes, Sergeant I'm-going-to-eat-your-bone-Morrow sir?"
im just starting rumours
Veteran:
Crab walk melee
Throw krak into bruiser horde
Zealot:
Loner backstab
Stealth backstab
no need to crab walk when you click heads real good 
In other news, real happy with this Boltgun.
Just wish Collateral was a bit higher.
Do you think they'll bring the next update on September or December
we just got an update
there's literally no use speculating rn
Like the Sarge sees right through him as he’s an obvious traitor but like 90% of the people just don’t acknowledge it lmao
Rannick seeing 4 Moebian 6th dudes in a strike team:
Even Hadron and Zola are buddy buddy with him.
Uh yes in the name of the… omnisiah! Not the dark gods no we don’t like them!
just assume december 31st and don’t worry about it until they give a date
Oh great grandfather Nurgle? Oh, no, he's disgusting and vile and hideous and... and things.
Assume nowhere near a good timeline and you probably be right
I mean he gave me a nurglin- I mean the omnisiah showed me how amazing technology is!
I love playing catch with a beast of Nurgle. I mean, I throw grenades, yes, yes!
Captain Wol-Zola is amazing as well!
nice
Which I don't have sadly
Fire Frenzy not as good as Deathspitter imo
Not even Tier III
Should I use Deathspitter instead of FF
u could go hit&run for duck & dive + deadshot memes
I got this last night
if crafting update opens up locks I'm changing maniac to weakspot
if it makes you feel any better 75% collateral hits an incredibly obscure stagger breakpoint that will literally never matter in games ever
but you can technically open a Bulwark shield with 1 Boltgun shot still
Lmao thank you for the reassurance.
with some absolutely nonsensical set up
Really nice
Could swap shattering to surgical when u get that
Honestly I like the combo of blessings on that knife but I’m completely illiterate on what makes it so insane/mandatory for it to be like that mainly just cause my brain immediately sees Flesh tearer is on critical I need crits
whoops one sec
Oh I do have it
the Boltgun can open a Bulwark shield in a single shot IF
- You have 75%+ Collateral
- You use Executioner's Stance
- You have max stacks of Pinning Fire
I think battlefield is up there as one of the worst AAA series of all time
Flesh tearer is pretty nice because reciprocity (actually good for knife) + desperado gives u pretty good crit chance
Damn good pull btw
30~55% crit chance usually
And flesh tearer gives some breakpoints
Basically run WS with it if I can?
you need Exe Stance, Combat Stim, max stacks Pinning Fire AND a Boltgun with at least 75% Collatral stat
i love drugs
What about 2 ?
I don’t run WS
You just run those two perks
You can open Bulwark shield with 2 shots and Exe Stance
you do not need combat stim to do it
TECHNICALLY even the hyper obscure single shot Bulwark breakpoint for staggering their shield is still 2 shots if you consider you must at bare minimum fire one boltgun round into trash to stagger them for pinning fire stacks
I guess meta is to hipfire bulwark then
I saw fully loaded and instantly went
if you're using Boltgun without Exe Stance you will need 5-6 shots
depending on pinning fire Stacks
My HH might work with this but I’d need to do slight tweaking
Vraks7? Or 3
if you have high Collateral stat AND max Pinning Fire stacks you can open a Bulwark shield without Executioner's Stance in as little as 4 shots
I wouldn’t run headhunter with knife tbh
I think exe bolter is the best way to play it anyway
Both are pretty point tax weapons
I agree
and in the off chance you're using a combat stim, have just staggered enemies and see a Bulwark during your Exe Stance?
you can now know you will be able to open the shield in 1 shot
What would be the biggest differences between MG Ia Infantry Lasgun and MK VII Headhunter Autogun? Their damage numbers are almost the same, they are both semi-auto weapons, and they both have crit chance increase blessing + Deadly Accurate blessing combos that are preferred over other blessings.
if you have collateral stat at 75%+
Doesnt vrak has higher finesse and lower mag ?
Also need to check armor mod
So Vrak is more crit and weakspot focused? Which one of these would you prefer? considering their usefulness. I also checked their damage stats vs armor, and Vrak seems to deal more damage on most occasions
personally, autoguns are doing better than lasguns
I will give the Vrak a try, it does seem to do significantly more weakspot damage
It’s good but you really have to land headshots
If I remember correctly, it does terribly if you don't weakspot, but does amazingly if you do
depends on breakpoints, maybe marksman focus can help
Also has a good amount of zoom upon ADS which can be great or awful depending on your playstyle
6s for weakspot kill is comfy
on everything except ammo efficiency if the lasguns are using shock trooper + a little bit of crit yeah
though also
even though Autoguns have funny TTK on Crushers
Generally I can hit weakspots, unless I genuinely cannot see an enemy clearly.
Helbore Mk III can literally one shot Crushers
but then Helbore Mk III is an outlier compared to the other lasguns tbh
yeah, but sadly the ammo efficiency doesn't compensates the drawback IMO
I will make do with Krak grenades against crushers, Chainsword seems to take half their hp too
what drawbacks? Mk II Helbore annihilates bosses, Crushers/Maulers, wipes all specials and elites, and still is ammo efficient enough to use on clearing rooms of shooters without being thirsty for ammo later
Mk III helbore is quite possibly THE only gun left in the game that might be able to go ammo positive on no ammo maelstrom
I am comparing with Kantrael/MG lasguns
Lucius is great on its role
Love Lucius
but very awkward to use if you don't like the gimmick
Kantrael Las Rifles are ok but outclassed by most other guns
pretty much
Mg1a has some solid special/elite kill potential and surprisingly good boss DPS too
it just can't deal with Crushers well
Gonna be dead serious
but Vraks imo are more directly faced against Kantrael, on handling
Graia mk8? Yes
Lucius I think the best comparison maybe is Bolter? idk
It’s good
Why not?
Seriously?
Graia8 is the lowest recoil IAG
And doesn’t have Columnus5’s bad dmg falloff over range
All 3 IAGs are good, columnus5 is just busted
Agri1 is highest recoil, highest dmg
Lucius is beyond compare tbh
in a league of its own as the best all arounder weapon that even can do melee
I'd put it S tier but a lot of people wouldn't because Plasma/Revolver/CIAG is where a lot of people look at S Tier guns
and after the Surv Aura nerf I'd say Mk III Helbore is above Plasma and Revolver
for most players at least
a good player can stretch the ammo econ on those and be fine
average players are very ammo hungry in quickplay using them
Actually you’d think the Graia pair well with a knife at all or a different melee
Cause I’m probably going to test this gun out when I’m home
I am more saying that to my understanding in handling and maybe half role
IAG directly faces Recon (Which IAG clears because Recon is a bad joke)
Headhunters directly faces MG lasguns, in which Headhunters win in outright performance if you aim at heads, but lasgun may be better if you chest shot often? (though why use it then?)
And Bolter and Lucius are both "awkward" to use, personally Lucius wins because ammo economy, single target damage and bayonet. But I can see some slight changes in Bolter making it back competitive for spot
I think Recons are more comparable to Braced Autoguns tbh but they can also do long distance sniping better than Braced Autoguns can
Kantrael Infantry Lasguns are more directly compared to Headhunters
I am half expecting if we hget a hellgun without being an ability it being a "braced las"
Recons are the weakest of all the weapons, doesn’t mean you can’t use them but I can say at least it’s better than the shredder lmao
Infantry Autoguns are all kinda really good and don't really have a comparison with any of the lasgun categories imo
CIAG is just broken and godly LOL
you can't compare anything to it because you'll never actually be comparing, you'll just be praising how good the CIAG is and being upset another gun isn't the CIAG
Yeah is pretty bad
The day it gets nerfed I simply will just use the one I already like more the Agri lmao
eh, I personally say Recon is the competitor if Fatshark gave a damn about its balance, but Recon is so poorly made that it basically hgas no role
I love slower rate of fire weapons
the day it gets nerfed I'm getting popcorn and coming to Vet chat to see how many people whine
I hope it gets dunked on like Recon tier tbh
Could you share?
Yes absolutely
it has a role as being a clown weapon
Focus target 8 stacks not worth it?
Agri brauto and autogun are amazing
memories of psword nerfs
literally only clowns can use this to any effectiveness in higher difficulty content
the cleave is so good
Gods strongest jester
if you're not a clown don't bother
Good, the Ciag has the worst iron sight design
my shoes jingle when I walk and that's why I can fight Nurgle with a Recon
do not get on my level because you will not want to be here
Have you done Recon on Maelstrom yet
no
I’d love to witness this
it works
a guy brought it to no ammo sab only
I'm a quickplay Damnation player and sometimes jump into Auric Damnation quickplays if I'm not dead after work
I wish I could use Recon without feeling like I am shooting nerf darts at people but ALSO having to carefully watch my ammo even on karking heresy
"the psword wasnt op it was just the only way to deal with any enemies in the game because everything else sucked why dont they just buff up all the other options this is a pve game why balance anything they take this too seriously so they should revert the nerf or i will leave more unintelligible angry comments"
I don't touch Maelstroms because monstrosities spawning in constantly sounds terrifying and I can't 1v1 a Chaos Spawn so I don't trust myself to clutch out trying to fight 2 of them at once
annoying
launch psword was great for noobs
the funny lesser enemies sometimes morph into weaker monstrosities modifier is too scary for this clown
Could anyone link a good infiltrator build?
Anyone saying power cycler 4 on PS6 isn't overtuned is huffing their own farts too hard
you could kill everything with three swings and it stayed powered for five
Imagine not using the chainsword
you could just not do maelstrom when that’s the modifier. you’ll just probably end up facing waves of 14 poxbursters 
Ps6 can be put on all build, with any configuration of ranged and talent, and do well
Sorry let me clarify
Standard shovel is the same. 
I probably should just force myself to play it on a day I'm not working and stop being scared
I get why, I just didn't found it interesting
My favourite is the Crusher 2 shot.
Poke, BONK
I'll probably be ok but wow I am nervous about trying to jump into pugs Maelstroms
The moment I picked a Psword and saw I needed to power up every swing? I went back to my chainsword
that weapon when I use the rev, is when asskicking must be done
Id guess ps is better against boss though 
I'm used to the 3, tried the 6 and I totally see the appeal
it's like when Soldier 69 told me there's no functional difference between Damnation High Intensity Shock Trooper Gauntlet and Auric Damnation High Intensity Shock Trooper Gauntlet

it's mostly placebo effect in my brain making me nervous and then because I'm nervous I make mistakes and die
Once you're attuned to the PS6 moveset it's just no contest
Hells your veterans name I feel like might’ve ran into you cause damnation is when I don’t want to think or I’m grinding materials and Auric is my casual
LMFAO
True. Nothing comes close to mk6 against monsters. But uncanny standard shovel is not too bad tbf.
Probably yeah I play on US West region for quickplay servers so chances are you may have seen a clown running around
Sapper Shovel with Thrust.
US east
Yeah but my point is that ps6 is good to best against litterally anything that is not ranged
Full charge, weakspot, boom.
A quarter of their health.
If you’ve seen a Siegfried that’s me
the name does not ring the bells on my ankles sadly
If you see a green vet named BarlaBlackwell that's me, wave hi or something
my Veteran is Leslie, my Psyker is Seffie, my Ogryn is Reth and my Zealot is Clarisse
I'll make sure to shoot you.
Clarisse is really the only one dressed as a clown tbh
LMAO
I am too noob for these folding shovels.
Batman Beyond meme, nice
They are excellent.
Shovel just isn’t great vs bosses even with max uncanny stacks
I CAN dress my Vet as a clown but tbh I am usually wearing the Moebian 21st Recon pants/chest piece with the cover art helmet for teaser trailer look
Tbf my friend code is in my display name on here if any vets are interested in playing in the future, yes this means I want to eventually see you do Maelstrom with recon @somber axle
I dislike their horde capabilities
But one shotting crushers with thrust is funny
though I've been alternating into Elysian and Catachan outfits a lot lately
I am having fun with agile ws ps6 with sunder.

Maybe after I practice some Maelstroms
Gods silliest warrior
I used Folding Shovel for maelstrom with no ammo
Crusher train? Folds shovel 
Recon on Mael
no ammo mael Recon would be the most clownish behavior I could ever do
How it feels to Mk3/7
If you're doing QP aurics or histg often you'll be fine
Evil
I think the first time I run no ammo Maelstrom I'll bring my Mk III Helbore
Cuh-clank
"I am death, destroyer of heads."
I think I could literally go beginning to end on no ammo Maelstrom with it and never run out of ammo
anyway brb gotta go shower and get ready for work soon
I’ve honestly grown a huge liking for HISG (VP)
I could do some maelstrom with discord ppl, why the hell not. Once i finish dinner time
It was so funny seeing 5+ crushers and maules, the entire team running away, and I just funneling them into a small entrance oneshotting them one by one
I noticed recently there’s actually a spawn queue for snipers and I really like its sound design
is it the little breathy sound
it's so hard to hear over hounds howling and muties roaring and poxbursters beeping
and just general combat noises
I suppose I can add you, Gale.
It sounds like NVs Flickering on with the sounds of crackling
It’s only in Vent Purge Hi Intense Sniper Gauntlet
I think it's not too shabby. 
It signifies when a sniper squad got deployed
ok time for me to run this
I will warn you
Strongest Nurgle blessed being vs Weakest Guardsman
You will hear it
And then through the fog you will see like
7 lasers
Track your Ogryn
Oh thats fun
It’s fucking scary
Unyielding on that ?
It’s fun but oh my god it’s nerve wracking
last time I had a sniper modifier I had brauto 
It was not a good time 
Nope flak maniac.
Actually I’ll dig up the sfx real quick
"RAVE, ACTIVATE!"
Yea it’s fairly slow, it works but not great
Which one? When I just get knocked across the rail or?
I can send video links in here right?
PogChimp
yes
Okay
Critical sounds that I believe new players must immediately learn to recognize, classed by specialist type.
Enjoy!

Sniper spawn queue stinger
never heard it
Is there any particular melee weapon that's meta rn
I always see the laser or the charge up
It’s only on Vent purge
They serious need to make it a sound for it
Cause it tickles my brain
It’s very good
Yeah whenever I hear that cause people seriously do not know about it
I immediately type in chat
Sniper Squad stinger
Well what are you comparing it to? Don't say mk6 power sword or bleed knife since those 2 are monsters killer specialist.
wouldnt ps6 be better for light spam
I do whatever i want 
Also appreciate it, won’t be on till way later however
I’m prob biased because I mostly use Rashad/knife so yea
Naw, it's fine, just saying.
just remembered the silly build to punch a Crusher to death with bleed
I’m feeling evil
Punched so hard their organs ruptured
it can do pretty well. trauma psyker did a lot of work though
Is that the sound of distant shots, sounds good, I also love being near snipers when they shoot
Time to make a bald character that only uses the punch of the knife
still on training arc
do squats in the elevator
100 dodges
100 slides
100 squats
Yeah it’s NVs turning on followed with what I can hear to be distant shots or possibly a Valkyrie taking off
Look I love the sniper stinger so much I’m depressed it’s locked behind 1 Auric
Literally I recently learned of it just because i heard it once and panicked cause I had 0 clue what I meant till the 7 snipers took up in our back line lmao
Most monster damage more than a knife bolter zealot. Me standard shovel stronk 
SIM shovel special on its way to stagger mutants
What's the build for mk7 shovel? Thrust is a must?
Thrust Uncanny
The heavy attack chains just feel slower than standard shovel.
Maniac Flak

Iirc
Thrust + uncanny
Carapace + flak/elite
So apparently you can work around that by doing H1 - L1 looping
Or be me and not care and still Heavy spam lmao
Yeah I knew it was something like that
You could throw in a light in there but it’s not really mandatory
That’s a diagonal strikedown like a Rashad hit, and comes out fast
psword and devils claw imo
Kills a good chunk of them instead of staggering
but I like my combat axe too
Power sword mk6
Combat axe mk2
Both combat blades
Devil’s claw mk4 / mk7
Sapper shovel mk7
Chainsword mk4
Mk7 is better for in situations shenanigans but yes the SIM is amazing
Now I can play the game
Especially if you enjoy bullying mutants
why chainsword mk4 over 13?
Way better moveset
And the fact that it has a coherent moveset
Fellow standard issued enjoyer. 
I personally like the 13 moveset actually 
The standard shovel heavy spam is faster 100%.
Especially heavy 2. That comes out so fast.
Bonking with the standard issue feels so much better
I like the basic shovel
Love me bolter
Love me shovel
Love the emporer
‘Ate ‘Eretics
Simple As.
I’m more of a Mk7 enjoyer
But I do enjoy using the SIM solely to bully the shit out of mutants lmao
I'm too scared to special it head on. 
Usually I side dodge then go to town on it.
Mk7 + Maniac
It’s a good 65% I kill it before it grabs me
Other is it’s at 10 HP lmao
Me when my shovel wants to say hi to his head
(It instantly kills him with special)
Geez that's a lot of elite kills
Definitely using the Mk III for my first time
Hellbore?
Yeah
Also I’d say don’t feel beaten up about needing to retreat on Maelstrom I’ve had it happen quite a bit
I want to practice Maelstrom a bit before I begin doing my funny clown routine there
There will be like 6 crushers and 7 ragers backed with a Tox Bomber
You can wait for easier maelstrom like hunting ground.
And I just go yeah fuck that I’m backing up
It's just slightly more scary than hi-int hunting ground.
Basically a hishock with doggies.
Oh don't worry I am a coward AND a clown. If my team goes down I backtrack to find a better position because fighting in a intersection between 3 spawn doors or right up next to one is an awful idea LOL
If I have to solo clutch I will use as much of the map as I need to try to survive
Standing your ground is for Ogryns
Expect specials to swarm you from behind
It’s
Common on Maelstrom
This is why I love that I’ve gotten movement down
That or have a VOC or Chorus Zealot
I damn near did a solo clutch once
Carnival, amphitheater
Every died outside of the elevator right
Carnival is my favourite because it is the stage for Wolfer's men to watch me perform
The elevator that goes down to the area that leads to the ampi right?
I love splitting off solo to close gates while my 3 squadmates huddle in that dark corner
Nothing makes me feel more alive than breakdancing through a hailstorm of lasgun fire leading a parade of poxwalkers all around the arena while my team is forced to watch
I fucking ran through there cause it forced their rescue at the entrance of the ampi
I WOULDVE SAVED THEM
Literally got there
Chaos Spawn SFX
Rip LMFAO
I was proud of what I did by myself
But my god I was more proud than upset lmao
They did congrats me on the try so I felt good
Alrighty then
infiltrate
Me when the knife Zealot halfway across the map gets hit in a net while the whole squad is engaged with bulwarks and crushers
Time to try the stealth rescue and hope my two other living team mates don't fold
Loner Knife Zealot
I will rescue the Zealot and he will immediately run back into a net 2 minutes later
That or get pounced
This does not apply if they are actually very good with the build and rarely/never have this happen to them
Lost all my braincells going fast
The thing is usually the people good enough to run loner knife effectively know to not run loner cuz it's worthless
Nah loner can help if used right and their dealing with the ranged units as they should
Loners who group back up with their team cause they actually notice the massive group of specials swarming them 👍
Good Loners are very good players
Bad Loners are very funny players
you look away for 2 seconds in a firefight and they've abandoned the squad halfway across the map nearly to the elevator and they're pounced/netted
wondering how it's possible they teleported directly to their death
God speed runner knifes are the worst only type of player I will vote kick
even if you play that style
loner itself is just a really
meh aura
pretty much would never use it outside of the stupid penance
idk Zealot tbh beyond Perfect Strike Shred Evis15 so I can't really comment
Yuri after getting a veteran tailing him all game long: 
a clown only tells jokes they know
lel

zealot has like 1 gorillion ways to regain toughness just by breathing
I stumbled into the most meme build on Zealot I think
and it's fitting given I am a clown
so its just pointless to activate 2 coherency worth of regen as an aura
its also very
annoying
to get away from your teammates
I’ve only voted people who are AFK for like 2-3 minutes
as ive learned
doing this penance
it happens a lot less than you'd think
even if you TRY on PURPOSE
It seriously takes a lot to make me want to kick a player outside of that
Fair In 800 hrs ive maybe voted for 3 people
do you guys consider knife essential for the commando build (right side of the tree), or can you pretty much make it work with any decent weapon?
You can make it work
Once you move away from knives, it's hard to come back
I have go to to work soon but
i've used it with shovels, chainswords, and axes so you should be fine
I wanna give the sneaky vet a try, but I am too attached to my rashad rn and knife for horde clear almost gave me carpal tunnel back then 
I'll stick with the axe and see how it works then
she is my fav clown
hello clownrisse
Outfit goes hard but I’m more of a simp for the steel set of it
Though I did literally make my Zealot a Cadian Preacher lmao
I like the bright red and gold in the dark, dreary streets. Everything is some shade of grey or green. Meanwhile Clarisse is shouting and shining in the dark like the clown she is
Might be female Fanatic
HARK YE AND PRAISE KINDRED!
WELSH??
That’s what the male one is at least
fanatic is scot. Or at least her VA is lol
I cannot unhear the old man yelling out PERISH YE
I went back to judge zealot
The other 2 personalities just don’t sound that interesting either voice modulator
The “beneficent emperor” one
i saw someone with golden armor and thought they hacked the game and changed the graphic of their armor
IT'S REALLY SHINY
yeah i was like wtf how is this a thing
Something something noblemen armor
their lore is that they're bodyguards of the nobles
and were busy guarding the vaults of the nobles
then the whole Chaos Nurgle invasion happens and they go to war
they're some of Atoma's finest
Solely for Diet Zealot
the nobles paid big money for protection
they're supposedly very good at what they do
I just picked it up because it looks clownish
and I like the aesthetic
The Psyker version looks like pajamas though
the Vet's Atoman Vault Guardian set has a Fallout T51b chest piece LMFAO
Me who’s mainly just getting the 6th armor and Steel Legion stuff
DONT HAVE ANY?
YOU EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE THATMAGGOT
THE TRUTH IS, YOUVE LOST AN EXPENSIVE PIECE OF ARMY EQUIPMENT
THAT SUIT IS GOING TO COME OUT OF YOUR PAY
Enclave have such a cool aesthetic
Thank you Frank
There is only War/War never changes/War has changed
FOR CREED
THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING
there was that psyker one that looked closer tho
had wiring in it
(They’ve never been there in their entire lives)
Yeah LMFAO
I don't think I've seen that one
Do you have a screenshot? 
That one makes me think maybe the new one
T60?
Personally I have a soft spot for T45
T45 Medic Armour screaming at me in Fallout 3
Have not played in a long time, any vet changes worthy of note?
This is the first time i get fed some many ammo 
i need enlightened guidance on plasma gun gameplay, should i respec to focus on ogyrns, just been trying to fig out the playstyle cus ive used everything else except the plasma gun
I was like a fat kid in a candy shop
Surv Aura has a 5 seconds cool down, Bulwarks are harder to stagger with plasma/bolter
Shoot specialists & gunners in the head
Left click and win it's that easy. 
For the Unseen Predator penance does it only count the first kill that takes you out of stealth?
it is suppress though ?
If you take the +30% dmg for 5 seconds do kills while under that buff count?
it's the amount of people you stagger when leaving stealth
Pretty sure it is just about uncloaking in the middle of enemies
It says kill enemies in infiltration in the spanish version
lmao yeah fair i assumed it was same ol same ol
But yeah it's supress
Crab stance
Does anyone know if bomber resist applies to the grenades or just the physical attack from them?
Is that ammo one?
Yes, still a good aura
Me checking the personnality scourge: "F***, I was a cutthroat the WHOLE time ?"
He was a whiny bitch this whole time
bro missed 1000 lines of cadia
Technically a she
ah, miss missing voiceline
Ha, bugged VO
At least it was
The only character I wanted to change gives me the error

Do weakspot hits have a higher crit chance?
no
Weakspot & crit hits are fairly separated
Unless you have blessings that make them interact
Like Headhunter
My current crit chance is 35% (+5% crit chance weapon perk, +5% crit chance trait, +25% crit chance Deadshot trait). I want to get higher to optimize my lasgun crit build. What options do i have?
Headhunter, Opening Salvo trait, and...
Headhunter itself is enough usually
Deadshot is ok for infantry lasgun but I don’t recommend it
Crit chance perk is also usually not as good as just +dmg perks
+flak for example is almost mandatory for infantry lasguns
I believe you also have an innate 5% crit chance so you should have 40. Someone correct me if I'm wrong
Why not?
I'm playing with a recon with Infernus and Shock Trooper, which is why I was trying to get my crit chance as high as possible
The DPS boost for isn’t high enough to be worth the stamina drain effect imo
In the case of recon, it drains stamina really fast from deadshot
A bit too fast for my liking
bolter is ammo hungry af now lol
Recon just isn’t in a great place rn
Just run +9stam 
I don't have a good base lasgun otherwise I'd be experimenting with it.
What's the penance score lookin like

Do you need to complete every penance for 4500? Or is there some leeway
No, yes
max is ~4800
2500 barrel kill softlock 
Max is 4835
so some of the absurdly grindy ones u dont need to
U can afford to skip 335 points
i have every class done but vet
how do you get +9 stam?
3 +3 Stam curios
the krak and marksman's focus one don't sound v fun
Throw krak into bruisers, crab walk melee
Just abuse frag grenades
Not an actual recommendation unless you are very confident at the game
Penance needs krak kills on armored enemies
Ogryns looked tedious at a glance. Are they not that bad?
Lawbringer special spam into hoards is hiw I did it
very
the FNP one is the fastest
Not nearly as bad as veteran
heavy hitter/lucky bullet both annoying
One is about guns, the other is from taunt, another from just standing around teammates
i did the immo nade, chorus, and beacon of purity ones for zealot at the same time and that was by far the worst because i felt mostly useless
Stealth + loner backstab was horrible
ranged only maelstrom
i also just don't vibe with immo nades or chorus, like i hate the gameplay
i really missed tknives
For Marksman I mean
It wasn’t there when I was on 
stealth felt more bearable because i didnt feel as slow
for the focus target one, do you have to kill the thing you point at or does it just have to die
I didnt mind the loner backstabs cause you could run up and push them and dodge behind to kill them
That one's not nad
the fact that scab stalkers (dunno about dregs) didn't count for the ranged backstab penance was so annoying
If they have their melee weapons out, they don’t count as “ranged enemy”
You can probably abuse flechette and man stopper right?
So u can’t backstab stalkers unless ur stealth
So shooters?
I recommend man stopper and scattershot for more crits
Unless your also doing weapon specialist for guaranteed crits
Ok, was afraid when the shooters change stance they "become" melee
MF is fine, u have 6 second grace now
you are basically always at 15 stacks
The krak one is painfuk
Been doing it every couple of days since the update and still about halfway 
But uh, it is one of those long term penances
Krak grenades penance is a slog
You proobably don't want to burn yourself out for krak kills only
I’m at 427/500
Oh that's poggere
It’s been 3 days of non-stop krak usage
Shark
Throw krak into scab shooter groups
Yeah I took notice to it it’s just
I keep getting very
The best progress is from using it exactly how it’s not meant to be used
Unlucky
With people
Killing them before it actually explodes
Look at least it’s nearly over
Use a knife to run ahead of people
That’s the good news

You'd think FS would learn not to make these
starting up a vet helbore mk1 damnation run if anyone is interested, bayonet charge go brrr
But I guess they weren't expecting people to like
Farm it
I guess they didn't also have a cosmetic for it so it's better
just play aurics and you'll have enough crushers to chuck it at
at least I finished veteran & zealot alrdy so the worst is behind me now
Psyker and Ogryn gonna be chill
I mean you’re technically not off if we’re stretching cause we both have scales just im a fish
Plasma gun users, how do I make this peak
Worst case scenario psyker shield dmg absorption and enemies killed when smited are gonna be boring
Saving Zealot for dead last
How bad is Zealot lmao
Glory hunter to blaze it, stamina to mana
Change both perks, elite + flak
Gloryhunter is good
Let’s just say that you’re gonna hate people who try to be good teammates and follow u around
That’s
Oh yeah I'm only doing veteran for a reason
Veteran is like only penitent that you can complete without a full premade team backing you up
I feel like that’s the same with Ogryn
Though I realize I have to borderline be useless
Talentless Ogryn
For the Grenade box ones
That's how I got On Overwatch lmao
God that's a funny sentence out of context
Though to be fair a good chunk of starter talents before grenades are good
Like really good
On Ogryn
Just I can’t invest into anything beyond grenades for the Corrupter kills
I did it in solo private game with mod.
So just whack at infinite horde until my finger went numb.
Grinding every day
Pick up a knife as your melee
Never
To be fair it's not thaat bad
Never went below 10 stacks and got it done in 2 days
Isn't there a toggle crouch option
Yeah I just fucking insisted on holding it lmao
