And for better blocking to do shove into push attack better, but ALSO for revives

Infinite stamina bar letting me just walk in, shove poxwalkers and let them punch air trying to stop me from rescuing a squadmate

[brittle palm]

Hey guys, any weapon suggestions for completing the “make every shot count” penance? I was thinking plasma but if there is a better option I would love to know.

[somber axle]

I did mine with the Lawbringer Shotgun if that helps. I've seen people recommend the shotguns, the revolver, boltgun, plasma, etc.

But also remember that you can play Brunt/Hadron casino games to rig the game in your favor

Roll a gun with a low ammo Stat to make it easier to do

Less shots to care about

[brittle palm]

Ok, awesome. So pretty much any single shot with low ammo.

[somber axle]

Yeah and if you double down on low ammo weapon with low ammo stat you get a funny weapon that allows a much easier time completing Make Every Shot Count

[brittle palm]

Great to know 😂 guess I’ll be playing the armory roulette.

[somber axle]

Tbh Plasma is probably the best

The one time you actually want to use Charged Shot

Literally burn ammo blowing things up then just be melee Vet the rest of the game LOL

also holy shitake mushrooms

IT HAS WRITING ON IT

I'm getting it for sure when I get home

[brittle palm]

👀👀👀👀👀

[tall torrent]

meh

[brittle palm]

Shit I’m right there with you my guy.

[tall torrent]

the green remodel one is better

[somber axle]

I'm a sucker for writing 😩

[brittle palm]

But is it holy enough?

[somber axle]

We need more tattoo options tbh

And more outfits that show them off

[brittle palm]

We need more purity seals.

[hollow ibex]

No

[brittle palm]

Oh ok 😂 guess that’s what I get for being optimistic 😂

[hollow ibex]

Yeah bad base stats

And no tier 4 or otherwise rare blessings

[brittle palm]

Makes sense. I’m still trying to figure out what to look for in stats. Only thing I’ve stat hunted for was an eviscerator for my zealot, and that was a while ago so it might not even be that great anymore. This is the highest quality item I’ve gotten from him though. So that’s nice.

[north raptor]

i have a friend who thinks no guns are viable on veteran except the plasma cannon

[odd sparrow]

if viable = top tier i guess

[wraith locust]

Revolver

Columnus

Agri braced

Don’t you need unarmored to one shot gunners to the head

It’s kinda niche

[somber axle]

All of them are viable in Damnation and Auric Damnation imo

I've run almost anything and everything in High Intensity Shock Trooper Gauntlet

Different weapons require different playstyles and effort

Plasma is just a very safe and low effort playstyle

Point and click adventure game

[brittle palm]

My favorite.

Though if I play a lower difficulty I like to run a lasgun for fluff reasons. Gotta pay homage to the steel legion ya know?

[gray finch]

i just love when gun that was high skilled weapon goes to the easiest in the game

[hearty panther]

i miss when venting hurt you

i really do

[somber axle]

Same

[faint beacon]

I completely forgot it did not because Im used to it now, but because I just never use it in general lmao

[hearty panther]

they should really bring it back, now is as good a time as any to rebalance the thing

[faint beacon]

God especially with VOC?

Literally vent for free

[candid agate]

just did a maelstrom with another veteran, an ogryn and a pysker

7 deaths

6 of them the psyker

1 of them me because people had to revive the psyker

[faint beacon]

I was about to type out

im going to guess the Psyker?

[candid agate]

yeah

[faint beacon]

I hate saying it but Its usually a Psyker

[balmy flume]

Did the psyker at least know what they had to do

[candid agate]

no

[faint beacon]

Alright there's the issue

[balmy flume]

Or were they LARPing Grey Knight...yea figures

[faint beacon]

they just need to iron out their playstyle

[candid agate]

they were level 87

[balmy flume]

OK must have coat tailed on a LOT of good groups

[candid agate]

so idk if its a little brother or someone is just that bad and gets carried evey game

[faint beacon]

Tbf I play an extremely aggressive Gunker but I can hold a line and assist The Ogryn or Vet

Though its probably carried by the fact I have 800+ hours and understand movement and blocking lmao

[balmy flume]

OK true. Tend to do pure mind bullets myself but if you stay up, I am fine with it

[candid agate]

i have 300 and i dont know shit lmao i just swing, dodge, block+push and swing more

and it works somehow

[balmy flume]

I confess I do arguably clutch in CQC a bit with Power Sword

[faint beacon]

Scriers + Skull Burst and the Typical Gunker loadout, so damn hilarious gliding through poxhordes and groaners

[balmy flume]

Not to the pint of downing in combat, but still somewhat clutch because P Sword is very high damage on activation

[faint beacon]

Its how I did for the longest time, im starting to open my mind up more to actual combos and block cancels etc

[balmy flume]

Meaning less dodges overall

[candid agate]

sounds fun, too bad my psyker is level 11 lmao i cant be bothered to play as a witch

[faint beacon]

You gotta trudge through the pain

it was worth it

literally Gunker is my favorite subclass on other classes lmao

[candid agate]

infiltrate vet is still my beautiful baby

i want to play as a weaker zealot just to spite the meta

[faint beacon]

Vet Zealot

[balmy flume]

Is Gunker specifically the right psyker tree mostly (going by pic)? Or just any psyker build with a gun?

[faint beacon]

Aka Gun based Zealot even though its

actually good

you just spit in the face of how the class is supposed to be played

I use Thammer on it to Delete specials and Boss HP

[candid agate]

only problem is that my las gun isnt too good but i swear by the las gun

[faint beacon]

Any Braced Auto, or CIAG

[candid agate]

at least for the build

[somber axle]

Scriers is my fav Psyker ability tbh and when I was farming the weird 5% damage aura penance I was talking to someone mid match saying my loadout isn't what I would want to take into a group of Crushers while doing this penance, he asked which penance then said "oh just play normal"

Bro no

[balmy flume]

isn't that just Vet with VoC
Yes I use VoC so I get to make the joke :p

[faint beacon]

cause you just need DumDum + Stripped Down

[somber axle]

My normal is Scriers for magical berserker gameplay

I cannot physically get that with the damage aura

[faint beacon]

More like Vet with Infil, cause I use Shadowviel in order to Half HP bosses with Thammer

its the weaker Thammer btw

anybody else hears the same bpm of the 3 beats in disposal unit's drop and in the 3-round burst of that one headhunter gun?

what is it, the 7?

[faint beacon]

3 - 3 round
7 - Single
9?... I think - 2 round

[somber axle]

3 on 3 on 3

Vraks is not a big fan of the government

[faint beacon]

Never noticed, I'll have to listen to it

[austere pine]

even better when you spam the mk3. goes pam-pam-pam, pam-pam-pam, pam-pam-pam

same as the soundtrack

they're my go too weapons

Welp 2nd time I've lost my 10 game streak, this is the stupist penance ever. It's actively making games worse and it takes forever to find a game because it has to be one that hasn't started meaning I need to drop in out of games 5 or 6 times looking for one before I can even start playing

[late hatch]

Dont QP

[hollow ibex]

Honestly that penance is total fucking aids

The fact that you can lose six hours of progress just because the game says fuck you is truly incredible

[agile forge]

Honestly I will never try to get that penance

I hope one day to discover I got it by accident

Unlikely because I do suck

And I like to play high risk high reward builds like gunker and ex stance

[last parcel]

i remember getting the ogryn charge penance while listening to Last Christmas

[hollow ibex]

Anything works early on tbh

[arctic thistle]

Is there anything that shoots automatic lol? xD

[somber axle]

Braced Autoguns, Infantry Autoguns, Recon Lasguns, Shredder Autopistol, Boltgun technically too

[arctic thistle]

Awesome. Gonna check if I can get them early from Brunt. Thank you.

[somber axle]

Welcomes!

[hollow ibex]

Anything if you install the full auto mod 😉

[somber axle]

I'd recommend Infantry Autoguns as they're all really good both early, mid and late game while leveling

The Columnus Infantry Autogun is considered the strongest gun in the game by a lot of people

But the Agripina and Graia Infantry Autoguns are both good too

[arctic thistle]

Wouldn't that get me banned? xD

[last parcel]

no

[somber axle]

Afaik the devs don't care about mods unless you try to rip paid cosmetics and make them viewable both client side and server side

[last parcel]

it’s equivalent to just clicking really fast

[tall torrent]

Any infantry autogun
Zarona quickdraw stub revolver

[somber axle]

Even then if you make cosmetics viewable only client side they don't seem to care

Modded cosmetics I mean

[tall torrent]

It’s not even that fast tbh

[late hatch]

I think its the graia that has cleave?

[potent iris]

it's equivalent to just running a really basic macro, and FS has never really been that bothered by macroing

[somber axle]

Agripina!

Graia has better stability and less damage falloff over longer ranges iirc

Agripina gets the funny bullet cleave where each shot is penetrating to a target behind it

[potent iris]

really a lot of the guns in DT should just have a fire selector or be full auto by default

[late hatch]

Can shoot through team mates too!

[somber axle]

That's the best part about ranged weapon cleave

[potent iris]

getting carpal tunnel on an MGIV to do any sort of decent dps is like...why

[somber axle]

Ogryn in the way? Bring out the Plasma, the Helbore or the Agripina!

you no longer care about the Ogryn blocking shots

[late hatch]

the mk2 laspistol is pure pain without full auto mod

[somber axle]

Carpal tunnel speedrun weapons

[potent iris]

fun weapons but not having to hammer the shit out of the trigger makes it a lot better feeling

you can outrun the full auto mod just with manual clicking if you've a solid trigger finger but doing that constantly is just fatiguing your hand and wearing out the mouse for no reason

do enough clicking in melee as is

[agile forge]

I can manage that one at least

MG4 is worse imo

[late hatch]

At least we have a mod to fix it, but yeah, I wish they would just start integrating QOL mods into the base game. Full auto, custom crosshairs, block on tab or chat, etc

[arctic rampart]

yeah but why would you not use it? its really fun on zealot.. blue stim, hit F, hold down left click lul

Which lasgun yall think is better

[chilly saddle]

Average penance completionist (it’s me)

[hollow ibex]

Left

[chilly saddle]

Deadly accurate is awful

Infernus at least will trigger on a body shot and help the gun with monstrosities, spent so many hours with deadly accurate and all it feels like is that I no longer have infernus

It’s like yeah it’s cool if it hits but it just doesn’t consistently at all you can’t rely on it ever, it might pair good with surgical but where’s surgical in a lasgun

[junior needle]

Deadly accurate is very good actually, provided you have sufficient means for critfishing and can consistently click heads (which you should if you're using those guns)

You can get damage differences in the hundreds per shot on a crit

Infernus is comparatively quite low value on the vast majority of weapons and only mediocre at best on its best use case

[frank ether]

bruh thats a wild take its not even an MGIV

[junior needle]

Helbores have surgical but not DA

[frank ether]

I mean I think iLas should have had surgical

but its not like MG1A or MGIV are guns ppl pace their shots with

they're kinda spammy

[junior needle]

You can still pace your shots with a 1a

It does have very close to the same breakpoints as a k12

But more variety in options would be nice

[frank ether]

yeh

I dont like deadly accurate personally

no blessing should be that powerful in raw numbers

makes for a boring system

any weapon its on if you care at all about weakspots ok now you're going for a crit build fucko enjoy your freedom of choice lmao

and if you don't care about weakspots, like.. play ogryn lmao

[junior needle]

You still wanna aim heads as og, it's just not as impactful

[wise fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/wrong-not-nope-gif-22294097

A good amount of the common ogryn melee weapons use brutal

my gunpsyker prefers to use warp charges

[inland orchid]

when u kill something that has DD stack on it one broskis nearby em gets the stack after u merk em

[shadow aurora]

Hmmm

[midnight totem]

its a bit rough if you have good ranged players on your team and they murk your targets

[shadow aurora]

That was the biggest issue i had with it before. And the game making my dd target an enemy half way across the map

[midnight totem]

and if you lose your target, looking around for one in a hectic situation isn't really the best

the disrupt destiny marks don't ally to certain units either

not pox walkers or groaners

What constitutes as a gunpsyker? Just any psyker with a gun?

[inland orchid]

yea

a gun instead of a staff, thats gunpsyker

dont even gotta have a build with it

[somber axle]

Kinda but like Gunkers tend to use Scriers Gaze over Shriek or Shield

[shadow aurora]

Oh yeah i use warpcharges too

[somber axle]

not that you can't use guns with shriek or shield

just that gaze synergizes really well with gunplay

[inland orchid]

word its like saying u can't use scriers with staves

like u can, just it'll be a lil more dangerous than gunpsykerin the gaze instead

you'll prob just want 25 toughness

[fallow fjord]

yah already took it and the trench fighter drill on my way down to weapon specialist

[hollow ibex]

yeah that's what i do for weapon spec too

[fallow fjord]

this build tree looks so scuffed lol. but I like the crouching tiger, hidden krak grenade with knife + revolver

I could probably switch the extra grenade to something else, although three grenades is probably nicer on higher difficulty shock troop gauntlets with their dozen strong groups of maulers, crushers and bulwarks

I just barely got it to 30

[hollow ibex]

you're running mk knife?

you prob don't need tinkrer, and twin blast is bad too

don't need reciprocity if you're running mk

also prob don't need tac reload either if you're going melee-heavy

you need tinkerer to oneshot bulwarks if you don't have some source of +20% damage

my current knife also has carapace damage and Uncanny so it's been fun blending maulers and crushers in 3 hits or less

I have moved some things and got Iron will and bring it down. with 3 15% toughness curios I'm sitting pretty at... 240 toughness even lol

[hollow ibex]

might be worth swapping the last toughness curio to hp or stam

prob stam

[last parcel]

i simp for stamina

[hollow ibex]

my playstyle isn't as stam dependent as many, but lack of stam can absolutely get you killed

and stacking 3 toughness gives diminishing returns anyway

[fallow fjord]

does it? each of the 15% are giving me 25 extra, do you mean that for most things there is little difference in that last 25? I'm going to switch it out anyway I'm just curious

[hollow ibex]

iirc each toughness curio you equip gives less toughness

[fallow fjord]

Psykhanium runs in a different dimension then, like usual.

[hollow ibex]

i could be wrong, it's just what i remembered from a while back 🤔

[fallow fjord]

lemme check in an actual game real quick

[hollow ibex]

still, would recommend taking a stam

esp once you get 17% toughness curios

toughness won't be the main issue

[fallow fjord]

oh I will be, without a doubt

@tall torrent

[fallow fjord]

it was the same amount in a normal game, it is probably more that the difference between 215 and 240 toughness is not worth pursuing over more health or stam

or rather, third curio worth of toughness, because the numbers will be slightly different with the 17% ones.

I wish I could get those toughness numbers on psyker

Any tips for this god awful adept assassin penance?

[rigid pilot]

Which one is that?

[last parcel]

weapon specialist crit weak spot kills

https://tenor.com/view/eki-station-yasuo-furuhata-revolver-loading-gun-gif-27302364

[rigid pilot]

Zarona / plasma

Plasma can oneshot a whole bunch of them

[leaden hollow]

28 pickles, 5 bottles of mustard

[rigid pilot]

Even can charge to get the guaranteed oneshot on maulers/crushers

If you have +carapace

[leaden hollow]

28 pickles, 5 bottles of mustard

auaa

[frail igloo]

You only have like 3 seconds to get the crits off, and that’s if you crit the weak spot. It has to be one of the most rng dependent penances, and you can’t even do it on normal enemies

[last parcel]

3 melee kills and you have a +99% crit chance when you pull the gun out

[rigid pilot]

The crit is one shot only btw

[somber axle]

wdym rng

[rigid pilot]

[somber axle]

crit is built into it

[frail igloo]

Half the time your teammates are killing everything before you get the headshot lined up

[somber axle]

just kill something in melee

like 3 poxwalkers

get 3 stacks

swap ranged

BAM

100% crit chance on first shot

[rigid pilot]

Just get worse teammates

[somber axle]

the RNG is all in your aim

click heads

[frail igloo]

Dudes acting like I’m on mouse and keyboard

[rigid pilot]

Or the real answer is play far away from your team

Plasma is pretty thicc

[somber axle]

sometimes I forgor people choose to play with controllers

[frail igloo]

And I tried plasma and half the time it will not count as a headshot it’s so jank

[iron marten]

Plasma bullet sizes are like bathtubs

Aim slightly above their head, is what I found to work

[somber axle]

Zarona Revolver, Surgical, Hand Cannon is basically like firing a TF2 Huntsman

[rigid pilot]

Yea or on the head

[frail igloo]

I’ll keep that in mind

[somber axle]

it feels like Zarona Revolver is kinda way safer on heads than other weapons

maybe something with projectile size and how it registers on enemy models? idk

it always felt really easy to click heads with

[rigid pilot]

Zarona does have more head magnetism I think

[frail igloo]

Idk how but i swear I got more points into this penance on accident using a recon lazgun than the plasma

[rigid pilot]

I think most of my points came from melee tbh

Right bottom tree has some melee crit and crit options

[frail igloo]

I use a knife- should I be using like an axe for a better chance at one tapping?

[rigid pilot]

Just dive into shotgunners and kill them

I used powersword

One lucky crit and you might just take 5 heads off

Brutal momentum of course

[normal spruce]

Is 10%+ reload speed on Agripinaa MK VII Shotgun good?

[frail igloo]

Wow the revolver is really nice actually

[normal spruce]

Oh it is, Zarona one right?

[rigid pilot]

Noh

Either reload talent is plenty

Or just take weapon spec

[hollow ibex]

zarona? it's flat out broken right now

[normal spruce]

So I should replace 10%+ reload speed with another perk, the other perk on the weapon is 25%+ damage against unyielding

[rigid pilot]

Which shotty

Oh agrip

I would take maniac for more consistent flamer oneshot

Flamers are the worst special

[normal spruce]

I have a Zarona with Hand-cannon 3 and Surgical 3, its fun too, on top of being great

[rigid pilot]

Agrip can comfortably oneshot gunners even without +flak/+unarmored

[normal spruce]

So instead of 10%+ reload speed I take maniac? Unyielding should stay right?

[rigid pilot]

Unyielding can stay but shotguns have terrible uptime against bosses

You will mainly be taking it for reapers and bulwarks

[normal spruce]

Yeah, I understand

[rigid pilot]

I had a build where I can reliably one normal shot scab gunners from 10m without +flak

The ads has really good accuracy

[normal spruce]

Would be a nice change of pace to use an accurate shotgun

[rigid pilot]

It's kinda sick actually

[hollow ibex]

yeah that's a great combo

[rigid pilot]

Also agrip slug opens bulwarks shield

One slug then 3 normal shots to the head

[topaz lance]

Shotties need a buff generally.

But the slug one is fun.

[late hatch]

Lawbringer and kant are both alright

[little path]

reaaaaaaally wishing height was just changed to not affect hitbox

had to stay behind a box to plink at a shitload of shooters

continued to get hit despite not being able to see over the box to shoot back haha

[tall torrent]

On the bright side it’s much easier to hit enemies in the head in melee with max height

[little path]

Kinda wish it didn't cost 50k to change my height

not a lot of money but

man those could have gone to gambling at brunt's armoury

[gray finch]

there is mod for this

[little path]

to just remove cost of surgery?

[gray finch]

to change height

[little path]

got a link?

[gray finch]

https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/206

[little path]

eh

I already paid to have all my non ogryn characters made into squats

Was hoping it would change hitbox but not visual height

[gray finch]

if you go for max height its easier to kill specialist in hordes

[little path]

yeah but I can't use boxes as cover

[gray finch]

then middle option easier to line weakspot

[little path]

Already had it on middle

that's when I would get plinked even behind boxes

[brittle palm]

I don’t think it is? I changed my psykers height earlier and it didn’t charge me a dime. Unless it’s free the first time. Otherwise the only thing it said is 50k is changing your characters personality, not their physical appearance.

[little path]

personality scourge lets you change height

unless they made it so regular surgery also lets you do that now

[opaque dew]

I believe normal surgery allow you to change height, I could when I want to change my zealots hair style

[sharp epoch]

pre update height was unchangable idk of they added height to the normal change

[opaque dew]

Here is a clip of it, don't mind Ivan's mug

No mods at all with being on an Xbone

[languid dune]

So I'm not silly and the Mk 6 PS is just overall better with the downside of the slow down on charge right?

[normal spruce]

Is it possible to do the Hab Dreyko Auric Maelstrom mission with randoms? Last time I did one, nobody could solve the tree drilling puzzle without getting obliterated in the process.

[celest vine]

Midgets are hardest to hit

[lilac eagle]

Iunno if this is just a playstyle thing but I legit never take cover lmao

I either stand out in the open spamming left and right dodges or I'm running through the arena

[balmy flume]

Just gotta check in chat whether people know the updated puzzle or not (or at least you, yourself, should know how)
After that, it is RNG as to whether any given PUG team actually remembers to do the objective come the tree part.
(Yes people do still get carried away by the killing)

Now, if you need to know how to do the updated Auspex drill game…

Use WASD to move your selector between all the dots on display.
Incorrect dots blink between Green/Red.
The one correct dot blinks between Green/White.
When you find the one blinking Green/White, use LMB to confirm selection.
Repeat for 3 times per auspex scan, two auspex scan interactions total for the entire mission.

[bold sierra]

fianlly good drip combi for this helmet 🥺

[balmy flume]

TBH if the armour did not have the weird candles I would have gotten it XD

But this looks absolutely swell 👍

[bold sierra]

also MHMMMM

[bold sierra]

honestly the candles are the reason I got it xD

lov me candles

[balmy flume]

Ah nice XD

Your second one almost looks heretical 🤣

[bold sierra]

PART of the reason anyway yeah

[bold sierra]

almost xD

this armor set works so well with so many helmets I love it

it is that basic black scheme after all

[balmy flume]

If I see you in the second drip set I might keep swinging my PSword/shoot you thinking you are one of the Bomber :p XD

[balmy flume]

This looks most unique mix of styles

Quasi medieval sci-fi fi body armour with WW2 era aviators

[bold sierra]

👌

chef's kiss

[balmy flume]

The best thing is that it is still somehow very colour coordinated

It is eclectic without being clashing.

[bold sierra]

indeed, you can't quite go wrong with this set

even the B helmet xD

[balmy flume]

I think the armour set being black is the key here

So many colours to work with

[bold sierra]

indeed

[balmy flume]

It’s like the paid version of the Mortis skin (grey/black)

[bold sierra]

the mortis armor has them squares that I really dislike tho xD, but yeah

this is just a nice, clean, greyish black simple color scheme

[normal spruce]

Yeah, I knew the puzzle back then, although I learned later on that the right circles stay the same even after you cancel the puzzle, which wouldn't have mattered in that match anyways. There is something easier in the rotation now, Consignment Yard, specialist and sniper waves, extra poxbursters, barrels and enhanced blitz

[balmy flume]

It is true that certain maelstrom combos are definitely easier than others on a whole XD.

But for the one you noted, just be careful of two things.

(1) The extra Poxbursters could “ambush spawn”; that is, they spawn in a door right next to you, that sort of thing.

(2) depending on map terrain, Poxburster trains are even more dangerous, because you need to make sure you have enough stamina for repeated shoves at close range and even then, IIRC grouped Poxburster explosions can have ridiculous radius

[dire olive]

You say this like Mortis, an imperial edition exclusive, is free

[balmy flume]

Ok good point, yes

[dire olive]

(it was for me it came bundled with a GPU purchase lmao)

[normal spruce]

I tried pushing a poxburster, not realizing I had no stamina left, fell off, but hanged on, teammates were too distracted to pick me up I would assume and I eventually fell. Right on the money on stamina managing. Our Zealot did well, but in the end just as we were about to extract all 3 of my teammates got killed, I killed the plague ogryn but got spammed with flamers and bombers, goddamn that was so close.

[dire olive]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1046914150363844779/1231011700891844669/MedalTVWarhammer40000Darktide20240418162329-tr-edit.mp4?ex=663610bc&is=6634bf3c&hm=7886bc6e80931ca15b66cf83ca593bb63b8e0ad2f07c87907dc06214bfa41aea&

[normal spruce]

Auric Maelstrom is so stressful

[balmy flume]

oof
And yea, the other unsaid danger of Poxburster condition is being blown off the map (a danger shared with extra barrels). Can get very annoying when what you assumed to be a relatively “safe” position is proven wrong as you go flying off the air and map.

I had one or two times where I was blown some far away, the game auto killed me instead of allowing me to grab a ledge …

Yea, Auric Maelstrom are pretty much true endgame level stuff for now (alongside Karnak twins fight)

[frank monolith]

hey atleast he didnt get hit with all the explosion of the pox

[cloud falcon]

Hey guys asking for my vet buddy. He made this after 1 mil credits dumped into it. Was it even worth it?

[dire olive]

Pretty good yeah

https://tenor.com/view/yea-cat-breakdancing-cat-breakdancing-yea-cat-gif-20448298

[vivid silo]

Just wait till you get the TLDR modifer (minibosses, Nurgle blessing etc). Having to fight off 3 Nurgle-blessed Chaos Spawn in tight quarters is.. An experience! Hab Dreyko has always been an experience in pubs. I actually think the new one is slightly harder in pubs because it was much easier pulling off 2x5 scans on your own, than it is doing the puzzle.

[cloud falcon]

Could it be better?

[vivid silo]

Not in any meaningful way

I haven't used a Rashad in a few months, but that particular one shouldn't have problems reaching the neccessary breakpoints IIRC

[wise granite]

is there a viable autogun build using the middle tree?

[austere pine]

how would one go about building a mid-range iag?

[austere pine]

ciag

or, if you wanna be a bit ballsy, any braced

[trim hemlock]

Or if you want to play something normal

Agripinaa IAG

[balmy flume]

Others pls correct if I am wrong, but I think it matters more with the blessings/perks on the gun rather than the tree per se.
Though middle tree, you just want to take that +15 rending node and the damage to Ogryn node.

[austere pine]

agri is very fun but like... middle tree is mid to close range, no?

and agri likes mid-to-long

[balmy flume]

You might need several nodes on the left tree as well

[trim hemlock]

Middle tree is anything goes

[wise granite]

middle seemed like a supportive damage dealer

[balmy flume]

You can force middle to work for long range if you mix in some left nodes.

[austere pine]

with how the auras are and VoC staggering enemies in range, i feel it's short to mid range

[balmy flume]

And the proper guns.
Like Laspistol/IAG/Plasma

[austere pine]

and ciag excels at that range

[wise granite]

does veteran get a flamer or bolters at all

[austere pine]

bolter

not flamer

you get a plasma though

[balmy flume]

Bolter, be aware the ammo economy on it is not in a nice place right now

Otherwise is as deadly as lore advertises.

[wise granite]

hows plasma guns work in darktide are they for aoe or something

[inland orchid]

Big blue beam

[austere pine]

no gun that doesn't benefit from shock trooper has good ammo economy now

and i will die on this hill

[inland orchid]

Aim at enemy, watch as u made a soccer ball sized hole on them

Repeat

[austere pine]

pierces small objects, too

so enemies behind a little wall or a crenellation just get obliterated, too

[balmy flume]

Deadshot Laspistol with Survivalist is what I run nowadays to feel the ammo economy of old Vet lol

[inland orchid]

Pesky bulwark blocking your shot on a special in the back?

You can shoot through him

[austere pine]

laspistols are sort of the exception but anything after that suffers greatly

[balmy flume]

Plasma also shoots through friendlies

[austere pine]

maybe headhunter autoguns but those are

[balmy flume]

Which is important for teammates to not block your shots

[austere pine]

@wise granite what kind of a weapon are you going for?

[balmy flume]

I don’t know, I tried going back to HH autoguns after Laspistols and suddenly those feel very…clunky lol

[wise granite]

whats the difference between all these weapons in brunts armory anyhow? it wont let me compare

[austere pine]

some precision fire? horde mower?

[agile forge]

Quake railgun

[wise granite]

i prefer something automatic so i dont kill my fingers, and maybe something that can trash hordes

[austere pine]

yeah that's either ciag or bolter

[wise granite]

whats a coag

[austere pine]

ciag is in a much better position rn

columnus infantry autogun

[agile forge]

Tbh guns aren't good for hordes generally

[wise granite]

oo ok

[austere pine]

or any braced autogun but you lose out on picking off targets at a higher range from my experience

[balmy flume]

Recon Lasguns
Ok, no, don’t go for that, I was joking.
Seriously, don’t go for it, weapon type still in a bad place right now.

[grizzled pebble]

Graia braced autogun is very based.

[agile forge]

Kantrael Shotgun I guess or crit bleed lawbringer

[grizzled pebble]

Right click is brrrrrrrrr

[agile forge]

But veteran gets some incredible horde clearing melees

And frag grenades are great too

[austere pine]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbJjjELhFbA

[agile forge]

We do often want to be shooting at trash shooters though

[austere pine]

this is the ciag and the way it fires. if you like, we can start talking about a build

[agile forge]

CIAG is indeed a great choice for both that and elites/specials

[forest breach]

MK 6 powersword is anti everything

[tiny summit]

Nuh uh. Vets the most oppressed class. Look at the reddit

[agile forge]

Also mark 7 shovel

[wise granite]

are kark grenade good

[agile forge]

Kark grenades:D

Kraks are solid enough

[austere pine]

krak, kark is the universe's equivalent of fuck in phrases like "fucking" or "fucker"

[agile forge]

They can fill a hole in your build

[austere pine]

they're nice. frags are generally better suited for what veteran can get

[agile forge]

Easiest way to kill a crusher but we usually have another tool to do that

But there is a penance to use them

[balmy flume]

Kraks are alright for warmup, but Shredders are the future for end game content.
If only because endgame Damnation/Auric maps are very busy with enemy population.

[agile forge]

BTW don't sleep on smokes

[balmy flume]

Yea, all Vet grenades have their use and purposes.

[wise granite]

damn that colimbo gun got some@kick

[agile forge]

They are amazing for certain objectives

[austere pine]

@wise granite if you do something like this, you have 3 points to spare and that you can put into anything

[balmy flume]

Smokes are great for Auspex objectives, especially if lots of ranges enemies.

[austere pine]

gets you bullets back through aura, toughness regen on elite kills

you get to deal with hordes through grenades

+1 grenade and grenade regeneration

iron will, the most goated perk in the entire game

[agile forge]

CIAG also a good candidate for E Stance and MF

[wise granite]

cool thanks

[austere pine]

VoC, self explanatory (do not go for the right addition to VoC. it's garbage)

and focus target to ramp up the damage for absolutely free

[agile forge]

E stance in particular, it benefits from every part of it

But the E stance/MF way is harder and less well balanced

[austere pine]

the bottom part (under auras) is basically set in stone with some additions and the top part (above auras, auras included) are a preference thing mostly

[agile forge]

(But it really unleashes the full power of the CIAG)

[wise granite]

i just wanna play call of duty 40k class 😭

[austere pine]

that's infiltrate i feel

i personally ran this for getting VoC penance

[dire olive]

Closest thing to cod is recon lasguns because they have no recoil

[austere pine]

laspistols

[balmy flume]

Also be prepared to do close quarters a bit more so than call of duty come Damnation/Auric. When the close quarter hordes presses you too heavily it is actually a bad idea to stick with only guns.
Now THAT having been said…
If you are adamant on primarily gunning only, strongly recommend VoC and Shredder grenades. Those will give you enough space to reload and keep mag dumping.

[dire olive]

And also a lasgun (not recon) to abuse ammo efficiency

[austere pine]

and, if you insist on running gun only, you go for this

[dire olive]

If you want to shoot 24/7

[agile forge]

If you want raw dumb power

[austere pine]

there's a lot to learn with vet but you'll get there

[agile forge]

And you want to piss your team off from having no grenade regen

Try this utter bullshit https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor?id=9bf46ff0-0284-43dd-ba62-51a0b07fff5d

[austere pine]

bm and not sunder 🤮

[agile forge]

You can shift some points from the top to get grenade regen if you want

Sunder also good

Mine has Sunder tbh

[austere pine]

fire frenzy and not deathspitter 🤮

Pick either one and you will be happy

That blessing is also flexible lol

NO WAY YOU'RE RECOMMENDING DEADSHOT TO A NEW VET PLAYER

[agile forge]

But your burst dps with it is hilarious

[wise granite]

im fine with occasional melee, im no slouch on zealot

i just prefer bullets

[agile forge]

I did say the build was bullshit and suicidal lol

[dire olive]

Seems pretty obvious this is a meme build

[agile forge]

It's a Full Power CIAG

[austere pine]

absolutely no grenade regen

[agile forge]

It's a meme that can still win games, provided your obvious glaring weak point never gets targeted

[austere pine]

man this is Gun™️

[agile forge]

Yep, that's the problem:) you die in small rooms

[dire olive]

They literally called it "utter bullshit"

[agile forge]

Seriously though, try it for a game and see how hilariously strong your gun gets

It's basically gunker cosplay

But without the mobility

And without the melee prowess

[austere pine]

and without the blowing up part

though your lack of stamina will do that for you

[agile forge]

You're a veteran pretending to be a psyker pretending to be a veteran

[agile forge]

But yeah I feel like if you go E stance you're committing to overwhelming offense over defense

Offence/Defence?

Not sure when to use c and when to use s but whatever

And CIAG is imo the best E Stance weapon in the game

[balmy flume]

It’s American/UK spelling so either is fine lol

[wise granite]

s for states when it comes to offense defense

[agile forge]

Well I'm English and this is Brithammer

[wise granite]

what melee weapon should i use

[agile forge]

Lots of great options

Power Sword 6 is most universal (but you need power cycler)

Shovel 7 similar

Combat axes (rashad pref, otherwise antax) can be great but you need a perfect roll

[wise granite]

a shovel for a weapon feels so weird

[agile forge]

Chainsword 4 is flexible based on blessings, you can either make a horde mulcher that kills most elites and specials too or you can make a crusher/boss mangler

Don't knock it till you try it lol

Shovel 7 is godly

Sweeping heavies for hordes

Folded light or heavy for single target

[balmy flume]

You have yet to learn the memes of 40k XD.
Death Korp shovel is where the meme was born.

[agile forge]

You can consistently oneshot Crushers with it

[agile forge]

I pair mine with a helbore 2 so I can also use the bayonet

[wise granite]

my wife calls my@basic starting weapon the murder shovel

[balmy flume]

Built correctly, it does, in fact, become a murder shovel.

[agile forge]

Its ogryn counterpart (Shovel 5) is similarly silly and powerful

[balmy flume]

I like power sword myself but only because I am biased and influenced by the tabletop

Pretty sure Shovel could do better in some situations actually

[wise granite]

can i just keep upgrading this same columbia infantry til im 30

[balmy flume]

Sadly no.
Better to decide long term gear after you hit 30 (because you get a higher basic gear stat to work with)

Max stat is at 80%, you want your weapon critical stats to be at 70%+

[austere pine]

let's go. the guard never surrenders

[wise granite]

so i should just get a new one every few levels or something?

[agile forge]

Any time you see a better one

[austere pine]

are you 30 yet?

[wise granite]

no

im 10

[agile forge]

Tbh while levelling just take whatever emp gifts and regular brunt stock that catches your eye

I wouldn't necessarily bother with Hadron yet

[austere pine]

if you have the stock, sure, level some things

[balmy flume]

Yea, that.
Only really do Brunt/Hadron roulette, or buy from Melk, after you hit 30.

[austere pine]

but there's no point in caring about a proper gun until you can get max rolls

because in a level or two, your golden gun will be outshined tenfold by a white you buy from brunt

[balmy flume]

(Or close to max - again, getting 80s on all the important stats requires a LOT of luck, you just want the important ones to be at 70+)

[agile forge]

Some weapons are fussier than others

Like if you want to use a combat axe it needs brutal momentum

No exceptions

CIAG is kinda chill

You really want dumdum on it

But you can survive without it

now i will defeat those blasted turtles

jokes aside what on earth are these enemies we fight? why do they looklike zombies

[balmy flume]

You fight a mixture of normal humans, Ogryns, and zombies as a whole (excluding bosses, where you can then add a “demonic” category)

They worship Nurgle, 40k’s evil deity of despair and diseases

Is why they all look so decaying and sickly.

[wise granite]

gross

[agile forge]

The zombies are victims of Nurgle's plagues

They are fully aware and in agony

But have no control

That's the groaners at least

[balmy flume]

Indeed, gross is their aesthetic.
Worshipping Nurgle makes you immune to death from diseases, but not their physical effects

Ah yes, the meme front liners who expect all back line players to rush to their aid.

[agile forge]

Aim down sights usually

[wise granite]

oo ok

[austere pine]

just the dude was not doing all that well compared to the 2 wound knife zeaalot

[agile forge]

Deadshot is a weird talent btw

It warps your build a bunch usually

Especially on a fast weapon

[wise granite]

i mean if youre gunna worship chaos at least do a cool one like khorne

[balmy flume]

If your gun has no Aim Down Sights, right clicking should still give you Deadshot bonus.

[austere pine]

asn't even that, really

we all went down, me, a backline vet included

but like

i would expect the invis zealots to be able to deal with bulwarks and ragers at least

[agile forge]

Tbh I will even tolerate loner zealots who are bad

[austere pine]

like, do i ask too much?

[agile forge]

The ones I can't stand and will always try to vote kick are elevator rushers

[austere pine]

can duo after i finish this mission

if i finish this mission

[wise granite]

did fatshork change the function of the 2 squares button on xbox?

i thought it used to goto operative screen

[austere pine]

why did i just get quickscoped by a sniper from melee range?

[wise granite]

now it just says im on morning star and im like.. ok??

i coulda swore it opened opeative screen

[midnight totem]

Get gud

[frank monolith]

atleast it wasnt the muti throw pox bomb to a snip mid air combo

[wise granite]

when they gun glows blue press dodge

[balmy flume]

What I suspect happened is…

• Sniper was actually firing at someone else.
• Sniper shot SFX not played for some really weird reasons.
• You entered into melee range just as the shot goes off.

[wise granite]

its really fun to pick off sniper with auto gun from absurd distance using only iron sights

[balmy flume]

Used to do that before my Laspistol days.

[wise granite]

[balmy flume]

Now I do so with a Laspistol XD

[civic knot]

Does this give any breakpoints for bolter?

[balmy flume]

The ACOG scope on Kantraels are very hit or miss with everyone here.
I happen to love it.

[agile forge]

Kantrael scope being so good is literally part of the weapon balance

[wise granite]

does our characters origin matter at all other than like what their voices say in matches?

[midnight totem]

Not that I can tell

[balmy flume]

No impact beyond that thus far.
Unlikely for the future, but we can never tell.

[wise granite]

mine was apparently in the imperial guard

[balmy flume]

Do note Cadians also get a few more extra lines in the two other non-Cadia specific voice lines.

[wise granite]

are the veteran call signs actually referring to real 40k stuff like traxis 66 whatever

[austere pine]

my loose cannon cadian vet doesn't have any voice lines about cadia so i do think it affects what lines are available

[austere pine]

made up for this game

but they are consistent

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/z2jh3i/darktide_special_enemy_codes/

[balmy flume]

The Beast of Nurgle, Demonhost and Chaos Spawn are direct 40k ports (although their call signs are not)

[austere pine]

i've never heard these in my life btw

[balmy flume]

You are more likely to hear them if a Professional voice line Vet is around, but even then

It is very luck based

[hearty panther]

i hear them but it doesnt mean anything to me

[agile forge]

Everything is a traxis 12

[hearty panther]

my soul is professional but my brain is loose cannon

[balmy flume]

I at least heard Omega Minoris 77 once

[wise granite]

i think i picked professional

[austere pine]

is your vet paranoid?

[wise granite]

the loose cannon sounded too scottish

[austere pine]

does your vet not give a fuck?

[balmy flume]

Also Demonhost also has a designation. But unlike the Guard call signs, is more likely an Inquisition one.

[wise granite]

doesnnot gove a fuck

[austere pine]

does your vet have a stick up their ass?

yeah it's the loose cannon

not scottish btw

[wise granite]

she does not give a fuck and just says i shoot things

one of the options sounded very scottish

the pne that cant remember the codes at all and is female

[rotund plover]

None of the vets are Scottish haha

[hearty panther]

birmingham accent = english
anything else = scottish

[iron marten]

The codes are cool, but Traxis-1 makes you lock in

It’s the sniper callout

[austere pine]

i heard the voice actress is from some northern part of england

[iron marten]

Cause sometimes your character can see stuff a mile away

[hearty panther]

"Intercession 6-9 Roe needed!"
"dude just say help,"

[austere pine]

no real clue what city/region accent it is but she's not scottish

"Traxis-3, return fire." is one that also makes sense

[wise granite]

https://youtu.be/bZij8nx4lx4?si=p1Jk0Rhm6LCnZ1pJ shes the professional

[iron marten]

Loose Cannon bantering with the Pro Vet is always the funniest

[balmy flume]

Had that several times XD

[austere pine]

i have a clip recorded on hand i heard a bit ago

[iron marten]

“Keep those updates coming, maybe someday they’ll be useful”
“Now then there’s no call for that”

As you’re hacking away at a horde

[austere pine]

"It's alright. Take their side."

[balmy flume]

“Oh take their side won’t you?”

[iron marten]

Haha

[wise granite]

loose cannon female sounds

not english

[austere pine]

???????????????

[rotund plover]

Northern irish

[austere pine]

???????????????????????????

[balmy flume]

Also the one where Professional says they have a bad feeling about things.
And the Lose Cannon calls Professional Spineless XD

[wise granite]

its not an english accent

[austere pine]

i need whatever y'all are smokin

[somber axle]

Professional: "You've been practicing when I'm not looking, haven't you?"
Loose Cannon: "This? No, this is raw talent and I've got plenty to spare!"

[balmy flume]

I think they meant “non Received Pronunciation English.”

[austere pine]

well yeah but by that standard, no english is english

[wise granite]

not english as in resident of england

[rotund plover]

Pro is kind of London/estuary, cutthroat is brummie, loose cannon is northern irish

[iron marten]

“In the next fight, try to behave like real soldiers”
“I’m just following your example”
Or, in the case of a Cadian
“Telling that to a Cadian? More of a fool than you look.”

[balmy flume]

I have yet to hear that infamous burn line turn up in my games, sadly.
Hang on let me look for it…

[austere pine]

m pro, f lc

[iron marten]

Is it the one where the pro vet roasts Cadia?

[balmy flume]

https://youtu.be/x2yx7gdPyB0?feature=shared

Yes XD

[wise granite]

professionals very southern soundin

[iron marten]

Think the funniest one is:
“You lot are alright, you know that?”
“While you’re a poor excuse for a soldier”

[balmy flume]

Haven’t got that one yet XD

[somber axle]

Pro Vet vs LC Vet is my fav

[iron marten]

Huh, do you need a Female Cadian, Pro, and Male Cadian for this to happen?

[wise granite]

i keep reading that a female canadian

[iron marten]

I’ve heard the Pro male and Pro female converse a lot

[wise granite]

they seem like old war buddies

they often reminisce together

[iron marten]

Ye

[balmy flume]

Also Cadians reminisce together a lot if on the same team.

[austere pine]

apparently

[balmy flume]

Or they go from roasting each other to reminiscing with each other XD

[austere pine]

emma ballantine, fem loose cannon's voice actress is originally from edinburgh

[wise granite]

I TOLD YOU SHES SCOTTISH

apparently professional female is voices by a black lady, that's cool

[austere pine]

not sure why that'd be relevant

[wise granite]

ur not relevant

[rotund plover]

Shes doing a northern Irish accent

[rotund plover]

Voice actors put on accents lol

Thats their job

[wise granite]

listening to her lines sometimes they sound scottish and sometimes they sound like shes crom belfast

from

[rotund plover]

Agreed

[austere pine]

i find it fascination that english VAs can put on accents like that

[wise granite]

it just takes training really

[rotund plover]

She has a voice line that says something like "big mutie down", and you can tell she's doing northern Irish from how she says down

It's very distinctive

[austere pine]

i'm not a native english speaker and i've been using the language for over 10 years quite actively, listening to native speakers

and i still can't get rid fo my accent

not that i'd want to but like... i find it crazy that people can not only get rid of their own but also use a different one

[wise granite]

like dr house from fox in america is actually from oxford

my accent changes based on who im talking to too

my old mans latino/nativo, moms from yorkshire

[midnight totem]

I need to work on my vet drip

Still rocking killshot duty uniform, the deadeye black pants

And goggles

I want to like helmets, but I'm like, every other vet I see tends to wear helmets

[austere pine]

they look like buckets

do not bow down to the utilitarian veteran drip

rock them goggles

[midnight totem]

Besides, everybody knows

This is 40k

[austere pine]

headshots on main characters don't work

[midnight totem]

You're more likely to die if you have a helmet on
