but unlike those 3, they have gaps in their damage spread
the 3 i listed baiscally kill everything fast
I'm still using the Agripinaa
they have no weakness against any armor type and just delete everything
Which agripinaa lol
mk 7
Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down
agripinna is a forgeworld
There's IAG, BAG, HH, shotgun, revolver
not a weapon type
Combat shotgun
so you have to specify what kind of weapon/mark it is
Did I miss anything
scattersho tis uh
Hoping to get an upgrade later on so I can do auric missions without letting the team down
an interesting choice on a slug shotty
well i figure you probably dont have much of a choice anyway
looks like you got it while levelling
if you want an easy gun to build, the infantry autoguns only have 2 important stats to roll on and fairly flexible blessing/perk loadouts
Honestly if i had kept playing since release I wouldn't have to worry about this stuff
helbore is not meta
especially not after they nerfed the bayonet twice
its still good though
revolver/plasma/ciag share the top most people would agree
Vraks 7 too apparently
It's for weapon specialist
i would say v7 is after them
Mostly
it is a strong gun
but it requires
an insane amount of talent taxes
you cannot run the gun with anything resembling decent melee talents
which seriously limits what it can do
since you give up using something like rashad automatically if you choose to play the v7
you can run v7 with melee talents while being able to hit gunner oneshots
PS6 always has your back
you can, but you cant oneshot flamers then
If you are ever unsure of what melee to pick
i dont think thats a worthwhile tradeoff for a gun meant to pick off threats before they get close
though settling for a two-shot is good enough
it's a tradeoff for taking weapon spec if your heart desires and it's a pretty fair tradeoff at that
i suppose, but it does undeniably limit what the gun is capable of to lose a lot of those nodes at the bottom of mid tree
with rending+ogryn damage it becomes fairly decent at armor penetration, like 2k dps on a crusher
either way
yeah that's just the nature of taking melee talents
sure but you can supplement that with a psword
is my point at least
but the v7 being able to hit gunner oneshots with a melee build is pretty significant
you can have your cake and eat it
and you have more ammo to play with
ye it is
i dont think v7 is playable without hitting gunner 1tap anyway
well
that's extreme
the v7 offers a differrent type of cake than the revolver
a demo of a weapon spec v7 headhunter build that can oneshot gunners https://streamable.com/7yhken
you get to have your melee cake and eat some gunner oneshot cake
yeah, but he's asking what's the "best" guns so we have to rank them
like if we go down further the list, bolter offers a slightly different cake than v7 but overall is still a mostly inferior gun
i was arguing against this specifically
on vet*
since you can absolutely run it while taking decent melee talents and even dipping into weapon specialist
ok
let me rephrase
you cant hit all the breakpoints the gun is capable of without sacrificing melee talents*
that just how it be
I don't even think you can hit the flamer oneshot w/o marksman unless you're talking about a crit
and with deadly accurate
yes, with a crit
you need rending strikes to do a crit 1 shot
with a crit
which is very reasonable with deadshot/surgical
in terms of how fast you can do it
what is the mod for crosshair while aiminig /
crosshair remap
ty
there's two versions (one of them is outdated, and the other one continues on from the previous creator)
you could still take marksman and reach that oneshot and be able to take +10% melee speed
i dont think marksman is very good on v7 ironically
though if you're willing to give up that flamer bp, you can reach weapon spec and still be comfortable with a trapper one-shot and flamer two-shot
doesn't offer any stamina management
sure but you don't really need it anyways since it's hitting oneshots and in a ranged fight, you have stamina up permanently
Marksman =/= marksman focus
i like to have something to continuously fuel deadshot personally since you're relying on crits for flamers/ragers
Marksman is the red talent in the left leg that gives 20% power for 10s after ability use
you can just stand there and take ranged hits intentionally to regen stamina
i dont think he's talking about that one
Ah k
i'd rather not rely on getting shot on purpose to kill a bunch of ragers running at me quickly
esp dregs since it takes forever to kill them without crit headshots
scab you can spam shots into them and its sorta ok enough
ah for a pure ranged playstyle
i think its not controversial to say you usually rely on your gun for ragers no?
even in a melee playstyle i would hesitate to engage like 7 ragers with my melee weapon unless its pre nerf bayonet
i run psword so i'm biased
dreg ragers get 3-shot but have low hitmass
scab ragers have high hitmass but get 2-shot
(this is w/o marksman)
a crit should oneshot scabs in the head with 15% elite only
iirc
im not sure if rending strikes is necessary
dregs are sadly just barely short and like the one thing you cant oneshot outside of ogryns and maulers
without marksman focus at least
with my weapon spec opening salvo one, scab ragers take 1.6k damage with a crit weakspot
though that's what taking melee talents is for with my build
i think my problem with playing the v7 like that
which i have tried
actually yes
since i love weapon spec in general lol
aspd is fun
but the problem i had was
it feels like just a worse version of doing plasma/revolver weapon spec
rather than playing to the strengths of the gun over them
10 stack is 1.75k maniac crit weak damage
yeah though they're omega busted weapons so comparing other guns to them is a bit moot and being able to consistently tap gunners from a distance is in general very nice
yeah
but i would say playing the v7 in a ranged focus style actually has an advantage over them
overall they are better weapons, but they really cant keep up the continuous elite/specialist deletion since the v7's clip size and reload are much nicer than revolver, and the fire rate is much nicer than plasma
so playing range focus on v7 at least carves out a niche
if you're meleeing half the time in a melee spec build
then you might a swell just use the other two
i like v7 cuz i can roleplay as a ranged vet by hitting gunner oneshots even on weapon spec
whiel the toher two can't really play like
and i can greed for gunner kills
"im gonna shoot 70% of the time"
v7 also seems more comfy than revolver in terms of ammo if i am in the business of continuously proccing melee weapon spec
just the former
since of course there's the upgrade node
its an insanely ammo efficient gun
i dont know if that's enough of a niche where i'd consider it over revolver outside of fun for a melee focus build
well, that's just my take anyway
you can legit fire v7 nonstop through a round and only melee defensively and not run out of bullets, so I want to leverage that
i like to be able to greed for kills when a gunner pack is around but i can't run up to them before a teammate reaches them
what i really wish i could do is an infiltrate build on v7 lel
but you have to give up a keystone for that
at least with what i have, the only thing i'd really give up is VoC to go down infiltrate
is what ive tried
though nowadays
i'd probably just go 10% melee and ms aura
and pick up demo team instead on the bottom to make up for the loss of stockpile
yeah p much going through smoke nades
i considered going smokes but it seems so pointless
on v7
like
its THE gun to kill gunners
point economy grindset
๐
which gun of Vet is good for hoard killing?
agri brauto
Ideally you don't use it for hordes
Frag grenades are great, many melee weapons are
I guess maybe helbore because you can bayonet them lol
uh
definitely not after the nerf
unless you plan to kill 100 poxwalkers 1 at a time
there's no cleave after the bromentum nerf
I tend to use guns for hoards and melee for monsters.
It stabs pretty fast, I'm down for that lmao
try lawbringer or kant shotguns
Meleeing monsters is conditionally fine
Gun is more for elites and specials, and sometimes trash shooters
mostly
But yeah, agripinaa Braced autogun isn't bad at it
Those 2 shotguns too
Plasma will ice a whole column of zombies between you and whatever elite you're actually aiming at
If you're shooting at a horde it's like an edge case really
There are times to do it but it shouldn't be plan A is what I'm saying
if all you care about is your gun mulching a horde
this is probably your best shot
its not good for very much else though
is there a ranalds gift website yet? I forgot my builds and my vet got wiped in the last update
since I switch from Psy to vet for penance. I miss hoard clearing ablility/staff a lot.
I would like a bit more utility. At present I like either the agri braced or the Graia infantry autoguns.
dont thing I will miss it that much
just get a shredder to kill everything but Crushers
Nice try
beautiful
and tyhen bring kraks for crushers
prob keep with the agri brauto and go brr
ye
that's my first suggestion
its decent enough at going brrr at hordes while still doing other things
lawbringer is pretty much a one trick pony
wtf. got this as a drop
well
you can live with ranged critical chance
probably just swap the blessings to headhunter + deadly accurate or ghost
I can live with unarmoured as well
unarmored is actually good so you're fine there
im not sure if its optimal but im sure its at least decent
Huh that's a decent drop
you can probably 1tap gunners with +25% unarmored
ez
well, too bad I'm a helbore gamer
guess I'll bring this out if I get tired of holding down to charge
What are the best blessings for the braced autogun?
i would take your pick from deathspitter, fire frenzy (damage boosts), or hit & run (immunity to gunners on a close range kill)
some people enjoy stripped down too
so specifically
on a focus target build with 5 redirect/2 focus stacks
unarmored lets you critless 1 tap dreg gunners at around 25m~ with longshot
so that's
something
neato
the distance needed might shrink if you take fire team too 
which is
a legit consideration since lasguns dont run otu of ammo aynway
yeee
hey, I ain't gonna complain. The only plasteel spent on this was replacing the blessings, lol
fire team shrinks the distance reuqired to 15m
so
that's actually
probably worth it over surv
maybe?
idk
10m less needed to oneshot
you cant make ilas crit on demand because headhunter isnt surgical so its a thought
if I really am that scummy with ammo, perhaps
who knows, maybe a bolter and a plasma vet might join my lobby
gun go brrrrr
pretty low pickups on my last game with it
at least compared to the other two gun users on the team
lol
like that guy who huffed up 3 ammo crate charges
somehow
bolter should be used as a sniper rifle on vet anyway
well
I kinda just bring bolter if I want to feel powerful for like 4 seconds
my opinion is v7 is basically just a better bolter rn
bolter's only niche over v7 is hipiring into monsters
v7 boss damage is unimpressive in comparison
but its like
bolter's perk is monstro damage vs
bigger clip, faster reload, better recoil, better firerate when adsing, don tneed to finger keyboard swap tech to cut down the swap time
Is it worth going down weapon specialist in a melee/run and gun build?
not a great tradeoff
weapon specialist is melee focused but only certain guns really benefit
that being said, the melee buffs are the more important part
so
you can squeeze it in to whatever gun if you really want to
what are you planning on playing
Im using a shredder with my melee I use smoke nades to push guns/elites and to aid survivability in hordes
shredder autopistol probably doesnt benefit much from weapon specialist
but
you can still do it if you want
as i said
what wqould you recomend then
the melee part is the most important part of the talent
single shot guns, or guns that benefit from the rof boost
Like I said im trying to play vet as aggressive and run and gun
or guns that have excellent crit strings
tbh
i dont wanna push you away from using it
I dont have to go down weapon specialist
Tbf
Shredder might be the worst gun in the game
they nerfged it?
never recovered from losing 80% of its damage
Pinning fire got murdered
pinning fire lost 80% of its power boost
Since when?
and uh
autopistol died with it
um
i wanna say like...
at least 7 months back?
idk
its been a while
Autopistol was nothing but a pinning fire stick
I've been using it on damnation auric and its been fine
if they nerfed it it wasnt enough
you can use it
Imagine how you would do with a real gun lmao
im just letting you know
if you really want that playstyle, a hit&run columnus iag will probably legit just be a better version of that
It's currently a gimmicky toughness regeneration wand with inspiring barrage
Which does ok against maniacs
weapon specialist was basically tailor made for revolver
but other guns that are good with it are like
laspistol (use an autoclicker or your fingers will die)
headhunter V3
Oooh las pistol for run and gun is a good choice
nah im usewd to spamming the las pistol
i dont want to be responsible for someone breaking their fingers lol
remember you get an ROF boost
I used to use it a lot just not in my smoke/command build
so you need to click EVEN FASTER
well
if you are willing to deal with it without the full auto mod knock yourself out
there's the mk10 too which doesnt need as rapid clicking
and hits harder
both are good anyway
shotguns are good weapon specialist guns as well
Mark 10 is a suppression immune infantry lasgun basically
It has much worse Finesse values iirc
is that the brown lasgun?
not unlocked that one yet
Can I strewam so you guys can help me pick skills?
the rof boost is pretty noticeable but clicking this fast for 30 minutes straight was awful enough to get me to install the full auto mod
lol
for mk2
my partner is sleeping in the room with me rn so I cant' watch a stream
are you talking about a talent tree?
yeh
just tell me
what grenade you want
what ability you want
and i will just make one
Tbh you are still levelling
So just make sure you get at least 1 toughness regen node from the top of the tree
And have fun with whatever you like
i do play a very
run n gun hyperaggressive mobile build as well
so if you want me to just send you what i use i can do that as well
Voice of command and smoke
im max level I have like 860 hours in this game
Devil Claw mk7
I havnt found one worth keeping
Aight, misunderstood
The one I have has wrath and rampage
it has good stats but I did the best I could with the perks and blessings
its got 80 everything except mobility and finesse is 78
that's fine
im just asking
because exploit weakness is valid if you run shred dclaw
tbh
it might still be worth thinking about
movement speed over ammo aura?
are you seriously planning on going smokes and then going all the way to survivalist and then going back to voc
that is a huge waste of points for a gun that doesnt need survivalist to begin with
unless you really just love your gungryn/gunker teammates that much
I just like it because its good team support and I can use my gun without thinking
you can pretty much shoot without thinking on laspistol as long as you take shocktrooper (i took it)
if you insist on taking survivalist you can, just you will lose a lot
in fact
it might not even really help
you will probably drop shocktrooper
which is probably better than nerfed survivalist for personal ammo economy on laspistol
I also picked up close quarter kill zone
sure
personally i think dclaw is a weapon that prefers recip
but you can take cqkz instead if you 'd like
hmm idk they are both good
anyway
going movespeed aura also gets you
agile engagement for free
which i would say is very important on a playstyle you intend to do
especially since neither dclaw nor laspistol is a weapon that oneshots enemies to begin with
is that a website you used for that skill tree?
yes
gameslantern
they have a build editor there
just uh
do know
since you said you wanna take smokes
and your weapons are dclaw/laspistol
you basically
dont have away to kill carapace
unless you plan to slowly parry them to death
But the help for your teammates is absotely huge. Still best aura in the game by far
how do I link builds?
i just take a screenshot
Your weapons are laspistol and D/claw, right?
you are still using laspistol correct?
Onslaughtttt
grab deadshot and superiority complex
i dont think onslaught will stack fast enough to matter
yes
why deadshot over rending strikes?
deadshot has great synergy with laspistol because of its high finesse values
rending strikes is good, but it takes 2 points to reach
you will get more damage just by taking superiority complex and deadshot at that point
No anti-crusher except running to your teammates I guess
yes
that's what i pointed out earlier
laspistol/dclaw is basically "i cant kill crushers"
so
im not so sure about this pairing
but
even with rending strikes
and shred
with exploit weakness
its still slow as hell
and yes, its probably still the strongest aura in general, but i dont know about wasting 4+ points to grab it
its not THAT good
that its worth losing 4 points on your tree
I get uncomfy with deadshot bnot a fun of stamina drain
well
if you dont want deadshot
drop it
its not like laspistol is unplayable without it
you're supposed to hipfire when you dont need the crit boost
since laspistol hipfire is quite accurate
if you were to drop it
you can get cqkz and recip now i guess
or get on your toes
or drop invigorated too and grab rending strikes
since you probably wont need invigorated stamina gain if you arent draining from deadshot
like so
yeah I got rending strikes. I know dead shot is very strong but it just makes me uncomfortable using it
that's fine
I run laspistol on damnation and never used dead shot
when did they change the power sword activation not reseting it's combo chain?
yes
a couple patches ago
makes my mk 4 feel more ucky ๐ฆ
make sure mobility is at least 51 too
i imagine you do not want to lose a dodge
with your playstyle
lol
Save or scrap?
what is the mk 4 combo now with ps2? before you could get away with l1 l2 l3 since l3 was vanguard.
scrap
its just bad
you want
ghost/dumdum
maniac/flak/unarmored (2 out of those 3)
now your second charge is sweep vanguard overhead
and
rending strikes makes it
slightly better against armor ig
when you keep super complex as well
lol
the second best i got rn is
at least it managed to fit in my 7 second clip limit
its passable
if you want to gamble it
good
infernus -> ghost
specialists -> maniac probably
unarmored is good too but i would def want maniac on a laspistol
to shore up the weaker maniac multipliers
so gohst over infernus?
yes
infernus sucks
only for meme slightly more damage on bosses
ghost makes you immune to ranged fire
and you can outrun melee with laspistol mobility
Argh, infernus would have been good for the other MK
Good Laspistol tho
Now I need people to play with that are not briandead
No talent to help with that unfortunately
Though PUBs nowadays are really good
my friend who i used to play with this regularly stopped playing
Yea laspistol having innate suppression immunity and ghost is so good. Just a chill time clicking heads
No stress, only vibes.
Agile engagement and WS with this mk is fun. It's like a laser deagle. Mulching horde, see a bomber, swap, dome, back to horde
you might need to do minor adjustments
like
remove exploit weakness into 25 toughness on something that isnt dclaw
or adding ogryn damage instead of rending strikes
but yes
the general idea is usable
because we have limited build slots I dont like yper specific min maxy builds
I just want like 30 slots and the ability to name buiilds
there's a mod for more slots i think
Just another number to let you down
i like stab tbh
0 stability
it does nothing
100 stability for reference
idk about you
i cant tell a difference
lol
i meant in general for some weapons it doesnt do much
What mod is letting you choose perks and blessings ?
0 stability hipfire
100 stability hipfire
if there is a difference, i dont see it
loadout config
Might be placebo, but i think the grouping stays tighter?
even if that were true
the difference between 0 (nearly impossible) and 100 (actually impossible) is so minor it could written off as a placebo
if we're tlaking about real values it might as well not exist
Can anybody compare stability values on CIAG?
I'm struggling with mine on my gunker but it's like 50 stability
Try moving as well?
there's basically no difference still
dont feel like recording it again
but yeah
But yeah infantry autoguns stability actually matters
Ok fair thanks
The difference between a low stability columnus and a high level is night and day
for ciag
again, too lazy to record
they both kick up to the same height as far as i can tell
but 0 stability kicks up much faster
As far as i remember anyway
That makes sense.
Cause im only really having trouble with high stability columnus on long salvos
you can compensate for it
but you need to move your aim down quicker
than if you were using high stab
if you i gnore the kick
i remember going to back to low stability headhunter autoguns for my hardcore challenge. was not expecting the ridiculous kick low stabily headhunters have
the accuracy is actually about the same
yeah low stability v3 is actually unplayable
coincidentally thats the one i used. hipfiring became the norm
thanks. i wish it wasnt buried on a mod-dedicated discord so i could have spared you the question and just googled it
i can still compesnate for
this though
i know i said iw as lazy but i just wanted to record to show just how awful the kick is
lol
its like youre firing an anti-material rifle in semiauto
Now I hate myself for gluing the two screenshots together. Because this looks absolutely sick.
Why couldn't Obese Megalodon give us a proper Moebian loyalist helmet like this? Why did it have to come in two separate pieces? 
I want nam era flak jacket and steel helmet
the ogryn one is in the datamines
its probably when they update the penance track
kinda dumb
yeah I've seen that one, slick looking
I want Moebian VIth heretic outfits too
specially that scab gunner helmet with the plume
its a crime we dont have these
Datamine worth of money or goodwill building
Are these new leaaks?
Or is that a mod?
Old leaks
I'd love to see Karskin Hellgun and power gauntlet for Vet, Hellgun would be great, and gauntlet would be a equivalent (or so) for the Thunder hammer
fut it seems this giant fish company devs will jsut wait another year to add content
Because they're going to sell the complete version for actual money and split it into incomplete versions for the free plebs
Cause they need you to see all their effort going into making your characters uninspired faces
Still surprising that it puts down crushers with any sort of urgency
I usually use this one or the mk1
And mk1 is just heavy heavy light
Not a swift combo
Only one stikedown in the whole kit but it does obliterate groups of idiots
Tinfoil hat theory time: the Path of Redemption is going to add additional penance rewards some time in the future to give us the helmeted version we saw with the Ogryn helmet leak but locked behind particularly difficult penances to perform
Imagine a penance that makes you perform 3 Auric Maelstroms in succession all finished in under X amount of minutes with no deaths
hell naw
It'd make the helmeted version carry a bit of prestige too
See someone with it if it takes something like that? Then you know they worked for it
I'm still struggling with the Auric Storm Survivor penance... and you're talking about this?
they could have made a version like this too, respirator looks more cool
It's either going to be locked behind harder penances yet to be unleashed or it'll be like Soldier 69 said and they'll just be cosmetic shop rotation for irl money
I love the helmet of the scab gunner
smh cant believe people still struggle with ASS
with that blue plume on top
not everyone is as skill or has the right build?
I'm a casual player, I mostly dwell around heresy/damnation difficulty levels. auric maelstorms make me sweat out of sheer stress to not die
if u want ASS u gotta carry urself there and u gotta be ready to eat whatever it throws at u
and I'm still at 3/5 to my ASS certificate
it's not required to get to 4500 mind you
which penance are you guys referring to
penance?
I'm fairly sure it's a lot easier to do if you have friends to play with and you're all in VC, not with randos
oh wait, my bad. didn't know what ASS meant 
I feel like auric maelstorms will be a lot easier if the entire team goes slow and steady, instead of rushing it like mad
depends on what you mean by slow and steady
you kinda have to keep up with the special spawn rate or you die, and (unless whole team is psykers) there's a finite amount of ammo
proceed -> clear horde, stay together, once most of the horde is cleared -> proceed further. rinse and repeat
ideally you should be able to move forward while clearing horde and killing whatever specialists show up during the horde, really the only thing where you have to back off is big carapace packs or monstrosity
yeah, lingering for 1-2 extra special waves really hurts
especially with tox bombers nowadays you have to keep moving forward
well yeah, slowly creep forwards while clearing a horde. I didn't mean stay in once place and kill everything that comes at you
if the team stops to clear the horde and a tox bomber gets a single throw off, it's very likely that the team will split in different directions
whereas if everyone is moving forward, when the tox bomb hits everyone will keep moving forward and out of the cloud at the same side
and for the love of god, I've seen way too many people shoot the burster when some else tries to push it
pacing is really important, you want to be going forward as fast as the team can manage
yeah generally whoever is closest to the burster should be responsible for it
I'm horrified going through auric mael with my psyker seeing how squishy and vulnerable she is, but somehow out of the 3 maelstorms I've completed so far, 2 are with a smite/bubble psyker
the other one is with a feel no pain ogryn
lost a 2/5 previously, now at 3/5
I hope I won't fuck this up
the two maelstorms I did with psyker were specifically the "mostly ranged, only scab faction"
two maelstorms and I've completed that bubble penance, lol
oh yeah that modifier is one of the best
hunting grounds + many specialists is also psyker food if you run venting shriek + creeping flames, one shout with 85%+ peril will burn all hounds to death with no further intervention and then psykinetic's aura will refund all of your shriek cooldown for the next wave
the one I did with ogryn was a nurgle's blessing hunting ground, I think
I should look into that, thanks
actually i'm not 100% sure if 6 stacks is enough, i feel like it is but there's a chance you may need to manually kill one with staff lmb for perilous combustion to put 3 more stacks on everything - 9 is definitely enough
ok after testing in psykhanium i was wrong - 6 stacks is not enough. perilous combustion is needed so you have to kill a few (testing indicates you have to kill 2 for a total of 12 burn stacks at 0 peril, with higher peril and the node that gives you power with high peril you can kill with 9 stacks) manually but once you get the chain going they will all burn, i regularly get like 8-10 offscreen hound kills with shriek plus a bit more damage
yeah, it really cuts in your ability to move around the map when you know you have to flee from bursters while they struggle to kill it (which is a mistake anyway)
almost as bad as the people who always flee from the bursters and wind up pulling them into the squad lol
melk coming in hot
Itโs bricked unfortunately
Harvest blood letter and move on
is it possible to find ammo crates in "no ammo pick ups" maelstroms?
i have never seen one
mob looks bad but its actually just about neutral on dodge distance and sprint speed
i run laspistol anyways for running around
Are you testing on regular dogs or hunting grounds dogs?
Hunting grounds dogs are much less tough
if you really want to get it:
Just quit when you are going to die
Else just play and you will get it naturally trust me.
I only got it today (was surprised)
I feel theres no point for it since i always outdo those with ASS. And its like at least 2/4 people going to have that title in a5mael pubs, theres really nothing to show for (esp when you consider those people could have just cheesed it)
i got it playing martyr zealot with chastise
its really not the flex you think it is
Try not to release penances that encourage horrible in game behavior challenge (impossible)
they could have made it that if you left on purpose it wouldn't count
i didn't cheese it but i still don't want to wear it
Fatsharks fix for that seems to make it so that joining games in progress and getting disconnected/crashes also bricks it
Chainsword with Bloodletter and rampage.
Good or no?
i see, i didn't know they tried to fix it
But either way, you play long enough and youy would be lucky that you didn't die for 5 games
They did that with another penance, forgot which
oh that might be it, i was testing on the regular one in psykhanium. if the hunting grounds dogs are less tough then maybe 6 stacks is actually enough to kill
Where they stopped cheesing for it by making so that ANY in progress join stopped you from getting credit
Can i just magdump into enemies at the beginning and do the rest in melee for "make every shot count"?
Just do the boss mission and magdump into the shields
oh okay
i did mine with a kantrael shotgun because it's very hard to miss with that thing
sounds good
It has 1 less dodge because <51% mobility
Crit dmg perk is horrible, might be worst perk in the game
Itโs Mk13g so you need wrath + rampage
Chainsword also wants +flak
So does that mean crit damage on ranged weapons is also trash?
Cuse thats like... My entire lasgun build lmao
im happy with the blessings i can just RR the perks
that blows though if thats the dodge threshoild
It's not that I really want it to wear the status or something. I'm not planning to wear it, I got Auric Examplar which I've earned fair and square and the purple looks better anyways :^)
I'm just an "achievement addict" and want to get it over with already xD
Crit damage perk =/= your weapons actual damage on a crit
Crit/weakspot damage stats only apply to the bonus damage your weapon deals on these respective hits, and not the whole hit
That's why the stats are always weaker than they seem, and why the perks are low value.
That 10% crit damage turns into like 2-6% in reality
Shred is also an acceptable substitute for rampage
Because of the pecularities of chainswords crit damage falloff
So for Mk4 u go
Shred/rampage + savage sweep
And on Mk13g u go
Shred/rampage + wrath
Is that right?
I don't use the mk4 so I can't tell you but that sounds right for the 13g 
+crit dmg perk is ALWAYS bad in this game because of how itโs calculated (and how you canโt meaningfully enforce crits most of the time)
Rampage gets better performance on scab bruisers compared to shred on a 13g but only by some seconds
Is there any build that would make use of this? It feels good but I need an optimal build.
iirc on less beefy chaffe shred catches up though
Carapace is generally a low value perk compared to flak or maniac
Good to know.
Swap carapace to flak
Reload to elite/maniac
You can basically choose whatever you want for second blessing
Sustained fire isnโt great but columnus5 relies less on 2nd blessing
Elite will be more useful if you don't play stg
Which has considerably increased maniac spawns
I don't hate unyielding on it either btw
But elites probably more generally useful than unyielding
Itโs so overtuned it can get away with a lot of stuff
Maniac is fine I just donโt think itโs non-interchangeable
thoughts?
You never know until u consecrate it
well I do have basically god version already
first blessing was rampage 3
Supercharge isnโt that good unfortunately
Ideally you want power cycler + BM/sunder
Brutal momentum
Supercharge bad
ah yeah
hm ironically the MK3 with both anti carapace ones is way way worse than the VI with none
on carpace I just noticed
no wait I mistook them
damn this stupid customization mod gets you so confused
M3 takes 3-4 hits for a crusher (non melee build) with charge
the 6 needs 8 hits which is complete garbage
Mk6 needs at most 3
Push atk > L4 > L1
If u build it right it takes just push atk > L4
not sure if I get the combo, when do you charge?
Special action > block cancel > push attack > L4 > L1
so the stab right
yeah a powered stab headshot does hella damage
mk3 has less raw power but i like the feel more, and with +carapace i can still get a quick 3-hit crusher kill with push light light on the head without brutal momentum (i run sunder instead)
seems like Mk3 has the same combo basically, the push deals 150-200 dmg more even but thats likely the brittleness
its probably the supercharge doing it but m3 feels way easier to deal way more damage to armor
I'm kinda happy seeing people finding it relatively difficult for weapon specialist penance
any thoughts on laspistol blessings? I have infernus but even with full crit build it dosnt seem to really do anything
Dum dum + ghost/infernus
Dum dum is mandatory
its pretty good
Oh itโs mk10
but infernus really? its like 10 damage and the pistol does such high burst and slow firerate
Yea no mk10 is not that good
Mk10 doesnโt want Infernus
Mk10 wants flak+unarmored, dum dum + ghost
But itโs still just not that good
The X should have deadly accurate
X is the new one the slower one right yeah
Yea and itโs horrible
It has better pull out game 
Its just an aggressive K12 really
better mobility, hipfire, draw
and pretty wild flak numbers
The maniac ttk really kills it at least for veteran
I would unironically take a recon mk2 over the mk10 Laspistol for killing flamers
Rager nerf is a lot better I like it
the hardest part is not double dodging out of habit >.>
they need to do something with laser in general
Any suggestions?
This is almost perfect as is
also how is laser the worst on maniac, its like the only thing where laser really would hurt, on bare flesh
its great you can keep it, try bloodletter the trick where you jsut tag and run away, if you dont like that put the kill damage one on it
Maybe crit to manic, or Unyielding or carapace
id put carapace on it, its a carapace destroyer weapon in general thats the purpose
I don't recall the breakpoints
Bloodletter -> slaughterer
Crit chance -> carapace/elite
I want it for the fact that you dont want to invest in crit to make it shine
thats what i thought yea
its the best weapon ingame if you play maelstrom scab melee only
Why slaughterer tho? isnt headtaker bloodletter good?
Bloodletting isn't really necessary on a chainaxe
Unless you really hate bosses
Even then
You'll get more overall bang for your buck just by stacking more POWER
jesus i just tried the X pistol, not doing that again
I like the x pistol...
use what you like
I guess its for a very mixed melee ranged mobility build
+40% power & +25% melee power hits much harder generally speaking
whats the normal mk5 colum IAG build? shout with focus or marksman?
It is. Try it out with Agile Engagement and Weapon Specialist. It becomes basically more of a laser deagle for priority targets like bombers, snipers and trappers
MkX laspistol just needs to shoot a smidgen faster and I think it would be in a good spot
What best perks for knife
You doin horde clear or elite takedowns
Using if w plasma so could do either
Carapace/flak/elite
Thatโs for veteran
Idk zealot breakpoints for knife
The ones on it rn are 15block efficiency and 8% dmg to specialists which do you think i dump
dump block effi
at least specialist gives you something
I think the mkx is fine. I think many other weapons are just too strong
if barely
I run shocktrooper to have a mega ammo efficient laser deagle as the idea
Yep
Never have to take ammo packs, still one shot specials
Mkx is pretty good actually. It's just also you know competing with weapons that cook, clean and do your taxes
Neither is that great
Pretty sure my plasma only does cooking because cleaning and reloading takes a while
But cooking is 5 star
It needs some help
Well the reality is that you dont need to reload that often
But bleed time



Does it need help or does it fall into a niche and the other weapons we see are overtuned where they fit into any build
It needs a lil* help
You triggered the warp aneurysm
I just want a punchier sound on it
There's not much the heavy laspistol does that the lighter laspistol doesn't do as well or thr revolver does better
i really wanna like the veteran i really do its great but every time i play i get 2-3 ogryn team mates and im reminded why i play psyker
Lacerate is bad. Just dont
It's pretty much just the niche with shocktrooper, does lighter laspistol one hit gunners on crit headshot?
Was either that or haymaker
Start by playing ranged weapons that have cleave
Or be very aggressive in melee
No
Yea but I get satisfying 1 taps with it with a sizable mag that doesn't reload 1 bullet at a time
If the maniac Dmg didnโt suck horrendously I think Iโd have liked it more
Its been a while since i last played whats a good veteran build
But it could use a small buff
Slightly less recoil, more fire speed, manic damage
Actually that needs to be updated
Then it'd be perfect
OfB even better now
Pushing your way through cringe
I think it's only viable thing is that you can push a burster
So is this just mid as hell or
I don't think it's the normal, but I love it with e stance and mf
My outfit is
The steel legion looking helemt
The combat chest and legs from the pre order
It benefits so much from every part of both
Tbh i don't think e stance is normal on anything though
And theres backpacks that i keep forgetting about
Thereโre 2 kinds of knife veterans
You either delete crushers in 3 hits or embrace the bleed meme
You decide whatโs more fun to u
Blood for the emperor
Skulls for the golden throne
Iv got the plasma for the metal men so we game
i mean ive been using lacerate + serrated blade and its works just fine
Gonna take my shredder nades, with my shredder pistol and my bleed/lacerate knife
so go ahead if you wanna do that
Why would u play serrated blade if u already have lacerate
More
yup

Gonna take serrated blade on my shredder build
I wonder if the rumors of tyrinids of the planet are ever going to happen or was that monster some new nurgle pet
VAPE KINGS
PUFF THOSE CLOUDS, BABY
Make the heretics choke on your sweet delicious flavoured air.
I got serrated blade and helbore rilfe
Take serrated if u play mercy killer
Once watched a guy go whole match only using bayonet on helbore
Not surprising anymore. Since it is a good spear
That's why i like it
Im not stuck on the planet with heretics there stuck here with me
Lacerate is very much a trap blessing and its usage method involves gimping yourself
You can see why if you look at the inspect screen for the knife
Weakspot hits do about 2.7x the damage
And bodyshots comparatively do very dinky damage
It's not good for vet apart from the flak roll. Lacerate is just outright bad. Flesh tearer is technically more acceptable (provided you build for it) but not really competitive with other options like it can be on zealot, due to vet lacking vast quantities of on demand crit.
You also want uncanny for bleed memes (and in general because it's BIS) because it affects dots.
I'd change both blessings
Ok
does the smoke grenade do things now?
@somber axle even the emperor is telling me to use recon
AGH so many mods
yes
does it do good things now tho
im racist against snipers so i say yes
but it JUST prevents things firing at you? or does it not yet
is in*
get it
I love this outfit
I love this sword
And the gun
I run out of ammo it makes a neat spear
I've now realized that ammo goblins are more of an issue with the survivalist nerf
Good thing I'm not playing 
Yeah definitely noticed it . thankfully my gun acts like a spear
I hate the smoke gernade might change it to be something more explosive
mmmm tasty. 8 ammo crate charges all for myself
imagine using guns for things other than shooting specialists
every poxwalker is special
Remember to grab the ammo bags before even reaching yellow ammo
well yea thats how you get free dialogue
Yup. Gun lugger suffers 
Yeah but do Ogryns really need ammo?
Strictly speaking, no
So feel free to grab all the ammo you see. If the team dies, skill issue.
Skill check all your pub lobbies by taking all the ammo, sigma grindset moment
i like to bring a bolter or a plasma when I see a gun psyker team. i say: veteran get your ammo, I will use my mind powers to defend us
even if im red i'll tell them to get it
Recon users are truly the most sigma of vet players
The Emperor knows best 
You look like a Helldiver
Prove to yourself that you have the strength and the courage to be free
Free from what?
these
The Helldivers 2 server has two very different halves of the community split between bugs and bots
Ah- hm.
Most agree on one thing
It was very interesting to see the people who were saying "stop complaining sony won't change their mind"
There is a lot of pain in this picture.
Man I'm not gonna lie
Beginning of Path of Redemption I was like
Man Tox Bombers are so cool
Now
Kill all tox bombers, behead tox bombers, drop kick tox bombers
Actually the most annoying shit in the entire game is a fucking fog of farts
I can't believe the most annoying special from previous games is once again the most annoying special
At least they don't instantly throw them upon spawning in like globes
Me hearing the audio cue for a tox bomber but can't see it
Wish the nade pin sound was different from the scab bomber so I could at least know if I'm about to be extra fucked
Giant fart reverb sfx as tox bomber pin pull que
It is tho
Both sound like the same loud ding and aren't clearly distinct . The throws themselves are definitely different
I thought tox bomber doesnโt have the ding
And it's just some hissing sound when it's thrown
Could be wrong ๐คทโโ๏ธ
they both do the same throwing sound when it comes out of their hand, the projectile makes a different noise tho
And I thought 3 bombers at once was bad. 1 slippery tox bomber is torture
Need a trail of wet fart sounds as it travels before it blows
Maybe the bugs aren't that bad

You can also just nullify fire by climbing on top of stuff. Tox will also stay on it's own level like fire but reaches way up so you can't get above it
Yeah me too, kiiinda toxic bomber grenades typically bound alot more so fewer times will a grenade just land on me
My defense is that mantis girl henti art is good
im surprised the inquisition hasnt called exterminatus on this off topic lol
though im glad helldivers isnt being screwed by sony after all
super earth and the imperium are like brothers in bad government crime
A guardsmen is only so strong to 1 really strong "hear me out"
Especially when there are tox bombers waiting for you when you're going through to map transition airlock
better have your shotgun loaded
Lol I'm constantly switching between Darktide and Helldivers. Edgy grimdarkness with RPG skill tree vs. Maniacal purging with airstrikes.
Either way, I get to enforce my religious zeal alongside my trusty and (mostly) competent squad members.
For the Managed Emperocracy!
How can I get a +3 stamina curio? this one says it's max rank but only has +2
base rating >75
needs to be 76 or higher rating
thanks!
i have somehow found myself utterly addicted to the bayonet
