at least it isn't as rage inducing as Terrifying Barrage on a Psyker Staff
It's an infantry autogun so it's going to shred things regardless
rip
also as fun as combat ability regen, block efficiency and sprint efficiency are I've started putting corruption resistance on my curios
just because I lose my mind when a squad grabs 2 curios and I spend the entire run on 1 wounds even if I hit a medicae
I don't think I've ever used block efficiency
2 grimoires and I'm barely seeing a dent in my wounds now
Just never seemed worth it
Corruption is good though
Helps with the odd pox hound
And pox burster
I run triple stam curios so it's not so worth it for me but when I'm running 2 toughness/1 stamina curios I put block efficiency on because it can allow for clutch revives in the middle of hordes when grenades are empty
usually there's a grenade ready but on the off chance I'm at 0 and someone needs a rescue ASAP I can let poxwalkers punch air and pick someone up without sweating
Fair enough. Stamina is usually not my concern when picking people up in a horde
It's usually on any heavy hitters or specials still around
It’s ok but not the best
I mean, in sharp contrast to darktide
Vermintide's block cost reduction is 30 percent
On top of other bonuses you can get
You can get 36 percent with 3 max rolls of block efficiency
Handmaiden getting over 100% bcr and shield planting in front of elite patrol
But that's also, 20 gunners, flamer, sniper resist
most of the options are just bad
youre really left with five real consequential choices
... and metaprogression i guess if you want it
What are the 5 you like?
I run sniper, gunner, 1 stamina recovery (2 on my melee vet), corruption, sprint efficiency (on my ogryn and psyker), health and toughness
Flamer for ogryn as well
Cdr for ogryn and psyker
i dont subscribe to any of the damage reduction ones, but corruption is my one exception since it covers so many different things
I always take gunner
even then all my dudes are 3x sprint, block, cdr, and on the few dudes who already cheese cooldown reduction easily i just swap the CDR for more toughness
gunner really isnt that good tbh
i mean straight toughness kinda does the same th ing anyway
you avoid guns by sprinting and sliding
and the game will feed you stamina to do it if youre getting shot and have less than half
Good point
waiting only til the moment you take damage to earn a benefit from a curio perk is a wasted proposition in my mind
im doing stamina/sprint/cdr nowadays lul
like i can totally see the logic, but i'd rather be benefitting as much as possible
gotta go fast
My thought is that gunner chip damage is so constant
Or at least it was when i first equipped it
I havent tried without it now that im better at the game
well
i can believe its useful for newer players
bc of multiplicative stacking i prob still wouldnt run more than 1 tough
though*
Yeah I have 2 probably gonna take that second one off now
Dont need that little bit extra now I know how to dodge slide
Which vet build is best atm? Shouty melee?
Shouty is default best overall because yellow toughness is hard to beat
have you ever wondered what the fastest possible reload in the game is
No
I've decided to do something incredibly stupid today
with some more clown science
this time in USELESS EDITION
BEHOLD
...as soon as Gyazo finishes loading it
Back in the box
the animation plays so fast it becomes really funny to watch
that's with only 3 stacks of speedload too
it can get SLIGHTLY FASTER
im always manic
omg why is it people INSIST ON SPAMMING THE PING BUTTON 20 TIMES IN A SECOND
it makes no benefit other then pissing everyone off
ok finally
this took way longer to do it with 5 stacks than I thought it would because my cat kept jumping on my desk
but at last
this is probably the fastest any weapon can possibly reload in the entire game
OH WAIT
this is without the +30% reload speed on elite/special kill
it can get faster
Damn some people are just horrible at killing specials
this is probably shaving off a few frames at most at this point but still
+10% reload speed perk
+10% reload speed per Speedload stack at max 5 stacks
+30% reload speed on Elite/Special kill Volley Adept Talent
+25% reload speed if weapon contains ammo Tactical Reload talent
+20% reload speed Weapon Specialist Keystone with Fleeting Fire modifier
Focus target vs Wep specialist for melee shouty? 90% of builds on gameslantern are using Focus target
What weapons are u using
Plasma+chainsword
Focus target
Which weapons for specialist then?
Zarona revolver
and you only get 5 points from it which should be around 50 penance points if you ask me
I feel like the 2 stam is needed on my ciag build. 27% ranged crit seems lowish from my memory
I managed to reach 37% once
Nah, i don't even go for right tree
I made this build in order to overcommit ranged 
Rofl at the random score 
funnier to do this kinda thing on a slow reload gun
i used to actually do it for real on zealot volver
jam those bullets in

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9c0ad256-b487-47e6-bb05-14ff2a308a35/easy-vet
I took some clips
can anyone explain this

I dont think that far ahead
I've entered the back rooms
Chaos Spawn sent me to the shadow realm
I've entered the Digital Circus and there's only one way out
don't get grabbed on stairs right as a boss dies I guess LMFAO
Ranged crit hit chance?!
Wiild
so
i just found out
if you run really fast
u can trap yourself in archivum sycorax
the alarm rooms
if you run through a closing door into a dead end room
LOL
knife trouble?
i never realized how bad regualr damnation was
players are super slow and indecisive
Is Survivalist still best aura after nerf?
Yup, learned the hard way as well
Circling back, I tried this. I'll play with it more to see if it's novelty or if I really like it. 👍
Yes
Nope
It's definitely no longer just default the best
Wrong
I mean
If you show me a build that reaches an important breakpoint with the other one then I’ll change my mind
Depending on what it is
It's maybe marginally worse on weapons with lower max ammo counts
But
Fire team
Nobody builds fire team because they're missing a 5% damage
People only pick it because it's convenient
Well he did just ask if the aura is the best, and it is
Yeah
Now does that mean u must use it or ur stupid like u were before the nerf? No, a decent bit of my builds are more melee focused now and skip using it to get more nades or whatever the fuck I need the points towards
Also the nerf was stupid and hurt the off meta weapons more than the meta ones
Dummie devs being dummies
Smh
I do!
You do?
It's rare 🥺
Nobody cares about FT
Like rarely do weapons actually miss 5%
If you're saying that then Movement speed aura is worse
Yes. Then I got a new and better power sword that didn't need the 5 percent
Yeah
Uh what
I mean like, you're saying survivalist isn't the best aura
Movement speed aura is the shit
We got like 2 Mediocre auras and survivalist
.
The shit for what though
Where do you need movement speed in a build
Only if you're shit

Cope more buddy
Honestly I just like speed
If you're bleeding out on movement speed just take a knife
Not my problem you can't make use of greater mobility 
I mean
People just take a knife
The minuscule benefit I get from that is literally not noticeable
You're not gonna feel 5% is what I'm saying
It's definitely noticeable
My melee vet now has close and kill and he's always had the base +5 node snd it feels good
And anyone claiming otherwise is high on copium
You will however feel the movement speed the knife gives you
I run it with knife
Then it's not that useful still
😭
If the movement speed aura works like other auras
The points leading up to that aura are shit too, not just the aura itself
It's not like
5% the knifes movement speed
It'd just be 5%
Of your base movement speed
Is Dum Dum + Fire Frenzy good for Graia VIII ?
Well not unless you're going weapon spec
Agile engagement is preeetty good
And smoke too in uh, niche cases
yes lul
movement spee dis really good
even on a knife
Haha no
Out for blood is bonkers
FT sucks unless you need that last 5% for a bp
I finally got another class at lvl 30+ 

But yeah let's just ignore that lol
Oh there may be one thing about fireteam that should be noted now
Krak grenades don't instakill Bulwarks
Yeah don't bother lol

idk I can feel the loss of 5% playing knife
Unless you have grenade tinkerer
death in this game usually happens bc of positioning and mobility
Idk man if ur survival is based on that 5% ms I got bad news buddy
Nah that 5% extra damage is what really matters 
obv its not solely based on having 5% or not, stop arguing in bad faith lmao
might as well drop elite superiority complex
Also a lot of guns don't care about surv
your damage shouldnt be based on having 15% elite dmg or not solely :^)
Why i was saying don't bother lol
why even have a skill tree, your survival shouldn't be based on having the skill tree or not
I'm just saying, that is needed for krak grenades to instakill damnation bulwarks
why even have a gun, you can survive with melee only too
I don’t need the 15% for my builds specifically but that has a pretty high probability of reaching some breakpoints
why even play darktide
And if you're using kraks, that could be a breakpoint you'd want to reach
The original question was is survivalist the best aura which simply it is
i didnt say otherwise
There’s no doubt about that
Survivalist sucks
because its a shit aura that needs to be deleted
Boo
It's build dependant
Yup
And yes I wish surv was changed
And the guns that suffered from it had something done about it
sure, but that doesn't mean MS aura isnt on the upper half of good auras speaking in terms of all 4 classes
unless you unironically think garbage like 10% more regen in coherency is beter
I mean frankly every veteran build depends on bullets
move speed aura is better than dmg aura in most situations
Some don't need surv for that at all
yes, but you dont need surv aura for every gun
And would rather have more mobility
surv should be entirely replaced by a different aura and the ammo regen effect should be veteran baseline trait and only benefits veteran
in fact, most guns don' really need it
and taking surv = taking garbage like catch a breath instead of 10% melee and agile
I mean, I'm just caught up on like
Based
if your gun doesn't need it then its better to take something else
Needing to see visually how fast is 5% movement speed
Surv nerf did kinda fuck bolter, is it usable? Yes, is it vastly worse than before? Also yes
bolter is fine
I wish bolter got some love
And since sirosky is already using the knife, I don't think you even need 5% movement speed
you always need more move speed
just stop hipfiring it

its a way of life, and a deep addiction
I wish infantry lasguns had hipfire like laspistols
I never do
But like I’ve stated previously, there’s guns that do what bolter does with less downsides and better efficiency
Which is why I want it to be buffed, it’s still in the lower half of guns if we’re being honest
i dont want guns being plasma tier dumb shit
which is still pretty good
Nah. Ignore bolter
considering the average power level of guns currently
Yeah that is definitely too op
crit string of 15
bring all guns down to recon
delete starting ammo
vets no longer have belts so their pants drop when they shout
talk to me fatshark
Add a colt 1911 to the veteran class

taking both MS nodes on the tree lets you just casually walk away from hordes
10% MS with a dreg bruiser horde at my back
no MS (didn't turn around but it was the same horde)

like maybe you might say "but you'll sprint with knife anyway and outrun them either way"
sure
but js its a significant boost in speed
Oh yeah it's really 10 percent for most builds
move speed may as well say +damage, -damage taken, +stamina, but you can't really quantify it
but thats what it is
js i cherrypicked the best case for no MS even
It's useless/not noticeable for bad players really. It's up to the player to make use of increased mobility.
at one point the dreg bruisers even got in front of me when i was trying to casually walk away lmao
What about only one +5%
just play it back at .95
sec, uploading
but
you can still mostly out run them
they might squeeze a few hits here and there though
5% only
there were a few hits before this one
but like it was 3 at most for a fairly long time walking
vs getting smacked around incessantly without
I know I'm going to get booed out of the room but
I mean frankly you don't need to be that good or bad
To like
Run away
Or into things
I'm kinda happy with what I settled into
I kinda know what ya mean
he means more bad players dont leverage aggression and mobility well
which im iunclined to agree with
seeing the reddit pollr esults
every defensive ability is overrated by them no matter how worthless (10% more regen aura on ogryn
)
every offensive ability is lower than it should be
EXCEPT
smokes
they still hate smokes because waah waah i dont know how to stand inside
throws it an enemy gunners
looks ok if you're willing to have no toughness regen talent ig
I would swap 5% hp to 5% movespeed though
also
8 stacks is really not worth it
i would put it
anywhere else
demo team might be nice
as for why, you rarely hold focus target till full stacks
so in reality all it does is increase redirect fire stacks from 5 to 8
which sounds nice
but that's like 4.5% damage conditionally
that's literally a conditional, worse version of fire team, already a below avg talent
not worth 1 pt
could drop it and grab out for blood so you have some form of toughness regen too
Yeah I was wondering about taking one of the keystone modifiers out, but the extra stacks sounded really good
but you do have a point yes
The extra stacks are really meh in practice
Like thanks a lot for the feedback, like I know it's probably a shit take of a tree but I'm having fun with it
It could be worse
tac reload is questionable for most guns but its just 1 or 2 points in weird places rather than full on weird meme shit
the only change i'd really swap is just yeah, 5% hp vs 5% ms should be a no brainer for MS, you can see above even my recordings of the difference lul
and 8stack FT is pretty crap in practice
you won't even notice it gone
yeah that was a good catch
so you wouldn't pick close order over out for blood?
well I guess if you don't have a squad that sticks close it won't even matter
well, I think most builds ought to have at least one of the 3 toughness talents
OfB, Exhil Takedown, or Confirmed Kill
close order is not bad either though
if you really dont feel like you need 1 of them
the idea was to help with VoC and the keystone, I was looking at how to balance toughness generation
there's that other node that transfers own regeneration to allies but I dunno how much of a difference it makes
its minor for most builds, especially if you're not taking boosted toughness regen from those 3 nodes i mentioned
but for the emprah is also pretty minor
that line in the middle tree is basically all mediocre to bad talents so just pick whatever
with the point you're saving from 8 stack
i would say
personally
I was looking at out for blood or covering fire maybe?
my choices would be either Out for Blood, 10% melee damage (the generic node to the right of the nodes right before fire team), Demo Team
all of them are really strong talents
just depends on what you're doing with your build
nah covering fire is
extremely bad
oh really
Less time moving is more time shooting
Me as I play exe and mf
Mobility opens up options
I just don't move
Simple as

I do a lot of anti-elite in your face mag dumps honestly lol, so that's why I thought about taking it
After playing in like a lobby where my entire team had no range
if it affected you it would be one of the best talents in the tree
you have to kill an enemy your ally is within 5m of
ah right I see.
Yeah I guess if we're bunched and an enemy is close I'm probably going to use VoC anyway
any saving this?
it can be saved but you are losing a good perk
thunderstrike -> uncanny strikes
stamina or sprint efficiency -> carapace
and you live with the one you didnt swap
2 stam to carapace
Thunderstrike to uncanny
first workable knife i ever made
swap maniac to something else
maniac really doesnt do much for knife
looks good though
Finally hit my thirty on my vet
numbers cat said otherwise?
I suppose I could swap to Unyielding
this talent tree ok with Knife? probably gonna use either Zarona or Shotgun or Laspistol ig
Maniac doesn’t do much for knife yea
I don’t think u need hunter’s resolve if u already use low profile
ok, so one or the other
might want to edit that in your next pass then
It’s already been edited
oh ok cool
All weapon pages are done
I can send u all of them in dm if u want
what site is that?
I'll wait for your update, is okay 
can you post a link?
I'm active enough to ask if I'm fucking up somewhere
pins
Note that a lot of the things in the currently pinned version are gonna be changed in the next update
If u have a specific weapon in mind
Best to ask
nah I just wanted to flip through it, thanks
Just got some nice rolls on my chainsword and culumnus I think.
Chain sword got grade 3 rampage and grade 3 shred
While my culumnus has grade 3 dumdum and grade 4 sustained fire
Numbers cat, do you also intend to maybe do this same stuff for Zealot? Just wondering, because Zealot channel is weird af and I can't find a lot of resources for the class
Not at the moment 
Mainly 2 reasons
- I’m not that good at zealot and I don’t play as many zealot weapons as I do veteran weapons
- Zealot breakpoints usually have tons of conditional requirements (veteran breakpoints are usually “always active”)
fair enough. I understand it's probably an enormous amount of work too
You also don’t need to min-max very hard on zealot
Veteran breakpoint requires min-max builds a lot of the time
Zealot has way less trap nodes on their talent tree
It wouldn’t be as bad because the framework of the WIP veteran guide update is flexible enough to be adapted to zealot tree very quickly
The hard part was designing the framework in the first place and making sure it’s flexible and easy to make changes for
Why does every auric pub go like that?
For some reason the QP randoms today are just really bad
its one of the things we discussed and was gonna get changed in a pass over 
They are bad today
I ran into a zealot + psyker duo that actually could not kill anything twice
Lost both games ofc
1
what's the legend on weapon perks? Like the ones in red and underlined
ah I skimmed through it and couldn't find it
Yea unfortunately basically everything in the guide is worth reading 
Especially the first section
damn based
I'm just trying to gauge how terrible my choices are
so far pretty terrible, not disappointed.
Veteran has a lot of trap talents so it’s understandable
I mean, I'm having fun, I feel like I'm carrying my weight on heresy, at least going by how missions have been going on my last few pugs

but ynow it's fun to see just how hard you're shitting the bed
As you progress into damnation and auric you might want to change some things around in ur builds
I'm guessing the pinned version is old given I still see yoy making changes every now and thenM
Yea, new version had very different color scheme and loads of improvements
I figured the old one is good though fun to read. I'm guessing you may have changed some opinions on the bolter and mk6 knife
also this bothers me a little haha
Yea shotgun page got a big revamp
Well I'm excited to see it when done
That formatting too damn looks great
idk man that darkmode looks clean
There’s a new section explaining what each of the blessings do
listing out the values for each tier is real king shit
Goated with the icon too
clean
did you move the basic stats to before the rest of the tree?
my hero
kill the heretical light mode users
burn them all for their crimes against humanity and the god emperor
Like, veteran’ innate stats?
yeye
Yes and u can access it (even in pdf version) by pressing the white skull icon in the mock up talent tree page
oh that's great
damn you've literally already fixed any potential complaint I may have
ur a funny guy
Made a ton of hyperlinks so the pdf version would be easier to navigate
There’ll be both link version and pdf version
Link is word file so u can just use word’s navigation plane
The talent tree page itself has hyperlink to every talent on the tree
And can guide u directly to the talent breakdown
Absolutely beautiful
Pressing the talent icons can send u back to the talent tree
I see however you've taken away a lot of the ratings. I'm guessing because you'd rather leave it to the reader?
Part of that is because I don’t have enough space in the new talent tree section to include them
As for weapons
I think the revamped radar charts are indicative enough of how good the weapon is
And what things the weapon is good at
fair enough
The only exceptions will be the recon lasguns with
THESE WEAPONS ARE NOT GOOD
written above them
Weapon page example
They’re actually not the worst rated weapons
is it shredder autopistol?
weapon we trained wrong as a joke
A long time ago yea
is it still possible to cheese make every shot count?
What monster rating would u give it then
more a testament to the absurdity of vet tree tbh
also rending over onslaught seems an odd recommend to me
I wrote that because onslaught switches targets if it hits a 2nd enemy
And the spread is there
then youre too far away
What monster rating for it then
and it puts the rounds out fayst
8 then?
What is the purpose of a Shredder pistol? Suppression? Toughness generation? Close range single target demolition?
I can’t put it at negative number
it demolishes a target and sends others nearby a message
the shredder has changed a LOT since its inception, it used to be a short range horde clear option that was good on most specials and elites - save for crushers and bulwarks...
now though... its lost its place entirely - now its a horde clear gun with no penetration, bad ammo economy, and not much viability since the survivalist nerf
hahahahaha
it hasnt really changed a lot conecptually
it does maintain its suppression, stagger, and quick swap
it was just pinning fire on a stick
conceptually it hasn't, pinning fire just went from 100% power to 25% and it wrecked it
not just that alone but also enemy buffs and other weapons getting buffed
does it require a ton of set up to one mag a pogryn or nah?
with a damage stim and executioner stance?
in the face preferably
Ngl sounds kinda fun
pinning fire only generates charges on things it stuns, it wouldn't generate anything hitting a plague ogryn
I love meme guns
shame that powderburn isnt ... just better somehow
stand and fight penace
is their a quicker way to finish it
or is just one of those slow one
VoC toughness? Try to find pox gas missions
No the penance requires u to replenish missing toughness
fire
You have to actually be low on toughness to farm it
barrels or bomber
Barrel fire hurts health directly
If u just have to speedrun it, find pox gas missions
Me: "cmon dumdum. Cmooon dumdum"
Darktide: "would you like some 𝓈𝓉𝓇𝒾𝓅𝓅𝑒𝒹 𝒹𝑜𝓌𝓃 sir?"
wanna try IAGs but my perk game is godawful
yeah but ynow
not gonna go crazy for it but I literally can't get a single good perk
yall talking about perks
been trying to get manstopper on zealot for DAYS, still nothing
Im not making a whole ass new character just to get a park
Im going to wait for the crafting update thats totally coming this major update
you just waiting through shop resets?
I see manstopper often from brunt
also why on zealot blessings go across all characters
no they dont?
yes they do
since when?
since
at least last year
if you get a blessing on one character it's shared across all characters
I wasn't gonna lie because funny or anything lol
truuue
you gotta double check these things
I am alpharius
How do you unlock the monstrosites in the psykanicum?
well i hope this makes your hunt easier gamer
you kids and your MODS
on god
anyways is it still possible to cheese make every shot count?
its easier now
its been confirmed dw
My strat was... I used plasma gun
oh does punch through weapons count as bonus accuracy?
eats up a lot of ammo and very accurate
use the lawbringer shotty and don't take survivalist it'll be easy
that implies other random things dont count
like IAG crafting wouldn't be so bad if there weren't so many dogshit mods that it can spawn with
you dont know me
IAGs are prob the easiest guns to roll for
really?
Yea u just need flak & dum dum
I'm getting like, terrifying barrage, stripped down, that other perk that gives immunity on close kill
Hit & run is fine
on other guns it's like okay maybe not ideal but at least I'm gonna do something
yeah that's the thing, I don't even have the perks on hadron lol
that's how bad of a luck I'm having
odds of getting straight headshots on a plague ogryn swinging around wildly and chasing team mates seems pretty low, whats the damage done with half body shots? cause to be honest that doesn't look that good...
Its not good the gun was nerfed into the ground cant you 1 mag them with a revolver doing something similar?
I honestly have done everything I could to get it to work and it seems unless youre firing into something back which basically means missing weakpoint damage on anything important it just doesnt work
cant you set it up to get 91% crit rate for a few seconds, it looks like you can miss one crit and still get it
plogryn is ridiculously easy
honestly
a complete joke of a boss
very easy to chain hs on it
i have dueled plogryn against a wall with no dmg before lol
psyker shield makes BoN a joke so theres that
I was playing today and ran out of bullets for once and i heard a scab guardsman yell go go charge hes out of ammo
i totally forgot that they react to you
literally stands still spitting into it doing nothing
stripped down is usable as well
uh what, brain burst spam? You have 2 charges of shield letting you spam BB in under a second, you can get your first 3 off in just over a second with EP charges, its not god tier like those 1 mag clips you show but i nthe heat of combat I can stand back and just remove the boss in like 10 seconds maybe more like 15 if I dont have the charges
BB is just okay boss dmg
I mean yeah it's usable
Yeah
The difference between a decent Columnus mk5 and a 4/4 godroll one is not that big
random hadron win
Crit dmg is bad
Falter is bad
No respite doesn’t work for HB1 that well besides bayonet memes
i havent even touched it yet
And crit chance is kinda whatever given HB1 wants non-crit breakpoints
so, what perks and blessings do you want on a braced autogun?
both the close damage blessings probably
Flak + maniac/elite, fire frenzy/deathspitter/stripped down/hit & run
why are hit and run and stripped down good? they look awful
ignoring gunners is pretty great, not worth the damage loss though to me
is this worth getting for my Vet
what's the difference between the mk1 and mk2 helbore though since i have both
Mk 2 lower damage, smoother charge rate
i see
that makes sense
the bayonets look very different im surprised they act the same
the only different bayonet is the mk3 which is a slow axe like overhead swing
pretty sure if you hold down mk1/2 bayonet you even get a speed boost while sprinting
higher damage
other than bayonet
the difference between them all is just mainly the dmg and charge speed
i wish my mk3 could one shot crushers (hadron bricked the shit out of it
look at this roll 😭
meta blessings for mk III helbore?
surgical and onslaught iirc
oh, its never the plague ogryn that kills you, its the 14 other things trying to kill you at the same time
Surgical / Weight of Fire is the new name
when you shoot Helbores, do you full charge?
ive been just using columbus 5 the last 2 weeks and now trying out helbore
im trying to go from brainrot columbus to something w thinking,whats the dif between the 3
depends on what you're trying to kill, what difficulty you're playing at, and what your build/stats are like, that's not an easy question to answer lol
plogryn is way too telegraphed, CS is just uhh i dont know its moveset, and BoN is just get behind it and mag dump
what's your build look like?
that tail flick is fucking absurd
i also just hate the timing on the melee attacks it does
it feels like they land either too late or too early
also the fact if you're the one its targeting your main goal is to just kite it to a spot where your teammates can easily hit the weakpoint
bruh
nice that you got surgical 4
ill use it until i get a good 370+
what stat should i not worry about with helbore 3
charge rate wont affect it too much
Alright I just realized the helbore is just a better BB so now I need to go play with it and treat it like one instead of acting like its a worse revolver.
everything is a worse revolver but I cant play everything like a worse revolver or I would only use a revovler
plasma is pen revolver and ciag involves e being good at aim and recoil control when I didnt pick up a shooter until a few years ago and dont really practice
I honestly use plasma as a see elite pack kill elite pack go back to melee weapon
For a mk14 revolver build, which of these settups are better?
Don’t take inspiring presence
i can't break 2800 on the crusher
well, took three tries for this auric maelstrom, but we got it done
three seperate groups of pubs
first one was promising, but one of us lagged behind and got caught by a special alone, boss then ended that run
second one, this vet brought smoke grenades to melee only scab
and we had an ogryn who spammed shots outside a horde, so you can imagine how that went
third team, finally some good fucking players
Crit on dodge is only really good vs ranged enemies
Vs melee it's too janky
You can skip it and probably not feel a difference unless you are running knife
Why exploit weakness over 25 toughness
If only exploit weakness worked for ranged attacks 
I’d only rly consider it for DC swords
speedload with volley adept and tactical reload is lowkey hilarious
the og donker is such a good time
What’s ur build for standard shovel
I have a revolver build that revolves (heh) around keeping the revolver out 99% of the time unless I'm overwhelmed in a swarm. WS revolver is amazing but if you have the right setup you can go without it and build around fast reloads and constant special sniping from the backline.
I mean perk & blessing
Right but then I'm constantly running in and out of melee range to snipe specials and I need to constantly be getting kills to deal with swarms of specials that need more ammo uptime
sure
but you can check my results there
it's pretty good lol
WS is amazing but I don't think it's definitively the best take on every revolver build
I'll have to see when I get home
I've got medical shit going on all day unfortunately 😦
I mean I've got my results right there from an auric maelstrom game
I actually haven't run the twins in so long lol
not sure what you mean by that
not sure I see the relevancy
unless you weren't talking to me lol
I'd say the 70 special kills and 101 elite kills are the main point
that might just be you being better than them compared to them being relatively good in a pug setting?
I've definitely gotten much more comfortable in auric damnation
I'm usually topping the scoreboard on my main 3 builds
yeah no not on that level yet haha
I think I haven’t topped dmg in scoreboard in a pretty long time
maybe one day
But I top plasteel pickups 
Avg now is 900~1100 per game
Depends on if teammates know material spawns well
I don’t think the scoreboard mod tracks plasteel from heretic idols tho
what does Hadron do with all that plasteel?
oh and yeah if we're talking about solo auric maelstrom, of course WS is going to be better for revolver lol
I prefer special sniping from a vantage point where I have a better view of the battle. Trivializes specials as long as you have a decent front-line.
I thought Mr. Craime played with you doing a Revolver vs Plasma test and the numbers were relatively on par though I think his Scoreboard showed he had a few more elite kills with his plasma
Map dependent though for sure
I might be wrong though it's just something I vaguely remember being shared here a while back
might've been someone else
It's kind of sad I've been playing this game for 300 hours and I still don't know the names of the maps
He seems really really good with Plasma tbh
Is it just me or is special sniping much more satisfying on the revolver?
it's ok I've been playing for close to 900 and have only memorized Hab Dreyko
TREE MAP! Yeah I know that one haha
And Carnival... Those ones are easy
Yeah those ones are very self-explanatory
I could see the names of other maps and have no clue what they are LOL
fallout courier cosplay
I think train map is the one where I had that revolver game... It's real open with long sightlines
perfect for that kind of build
goes p hard ngl
it's actually the top
oh damn I'm going to have to find where to get it
veteran's sentry uniform from the stand up and fight penance
I'm still stuck in my DLC whale armor cause I don't have anything better
Very nice
i want the chest but dont want to farm toughness x.x
Love the helmet paired with that outfit
I really wish I could get a decent knife for my agripinaa revolver build
Vets are dripping today
dayum
So much drip they're drowning the heretics
wish i could get rid of the 🅱️
As long as u memorize the loot spawn points you’re fine 
I like this mask much better than the krieg set one
my favorite with the chest is the beta helmet
my idea of drip is wearing the default loyalist pack armor with the xbox 360 gaming headset I got from penances 
i just need to get used to the 🅱️
Moebian 6th?
uhhh yeah... yeah I do that 
if only they had color customization tho
The back of that beta helmet looks SO GOOD
I love the shiny golden emblem
damn man
i think i like the green helmet over black armor, gives unique unit vibe
ave imperator
Is that what this is?
ya lol
I just call it my whale drip
Oh this is mortis set
Ah yeah that's it
I use this rn
FUUU
i have a color customization mod lemme show you what ill look like
and the one time I spend money I spend it on a dumb lamp helmet
looks like a party light for a middle school dance... I approve
This one is free
it looks so stupid from the side, and I didn't notice until I bought it
And is probably the biggest flex u can have rn
the adjustable lamps
it costs your sanity
lol
it's literally a study lamp glued on the side
you
Just grind penances 
Haha I think that would suck the fun out for me. I'm already on that weapon grind...
stop gambling at hadron's, get drip
It’s not that bad
that would require me to play things that aren't vet though
😳
I actually do enjoy the other classes... cept Ogryn, sorry
i killed the B
I like the customization Vet has in their builds... The other classes feel so much more restricted
Another one of my favs
Fun af but I can't make 9 different Psyker builds that all feel unique like I can on Vet
Siiiick! Love the wastelander coat!
Its like a double edged sword for me. While it does have a ton more cutomization than other classes, I feel like it could have lost like 5-10 talents and still be just as varied
Because right now so many talents feel borderline required/useful for everyone
But are in different trees which wastes levels on switching branches
Yeah I think the tree could use a little reorganizing but I honestly love it compared to the other ones that have very few branching pathways
Like most of my builds I feel like I only have like 1-2 talent points that can float/be swapped around
Psyker has like 2nd worst build variety imo
It is a pain in the butt to constantly try to work in some of the better talents but eh...
you should probably listen to this guy more than me lol
Granted, I think the 5 main builds have branches that make them a bit more interesting
Compared to ogryn
Where you only rly have 2 keystone options unless u play gunlungger

I really like gunlugger though
Yea it sure is busted
at least I did back when the skill trees dropped, dunno if they changed anything
Ogryn is the only class I don't have leveled... I want to like it but it feels so slow and I hate having to aim down at everything that isn't a crusher 
I hadn't properly played one until the skilltrees dropped, like I did a little bit of dabbling but never commited
Play grenade gauntlet / kickback
but god damn gorgonning every single elite in the face feels so nice
What dat? I'm not well versed on my big man terminology
I could probably get into the charge ability... I loved that move on Kruber in VT2
and I'd say the two trickiest ones to use
Ohh ok... I do like me a good grenade launcher
imagine if u had a boxing glove but it shoots explosives
that's grenade gauntlet
kickback is single-load shotgun
oh I got it confused with the delayed GL
kickback is literal zero brain activity
lol
Throwing a big-ass rock at specials and 1 shotting them is pretty satisfying too
yeah I got it confused with the delayed explosion nade launcher
rumbler mostly isn't tricky to use its just kinda bad
Might have to try that. The grenade launcher is something I am missing from the Vet's kit.
carpet bombing an entire horde with a nade box also feels dope
Even though we have hand grenades for days 
rumbler, that's it
bumbler
Oh the funny rock does make me go hehe
Grenadier gauntlet is a great option for removing gunners & specialists besides using rock
Kickback is just busted tho
like sometimes it's just going to bounce into a chasm for no reason or be at a slightly lower evelation than what you want the explosion to hit so it gets blocked
I really liked the shredder at launch but when I picked it back up it felt p bad
I look at the Vet skill tree and weapons and can make up 10 builds I want to play. I look at Ogryn and there's maybe one that seems interesting.
I'm just not cut out to be the big man
the krieg set for psyker on hallowette goes p hard
he rocking the stache
OH.
yeah
agreed
only psyker cosmetic i bought was the first leather jacket
krieg drip im too poor
😭
they can dine on what you serving there
king shit
I'm supposed to stay in bed but I want to Darktide
Damn MG4 has twice as fast ADS move speed as MG1a
Yeh the mobility is nice
Lemme check which weapons have the ads move speed bonus
So far from what I’m seeing
Most guns have 2m/s ADS move speed
Which is quite slow
MG4 however is ~4m/s
Which is very fast
And if placed in a PvP fps game that’ll be “gamebreaking” levels of strafe speed
hmmm... wonder if you'd take deadshot with the 4
No
considering how fast it fires
Youre better off w/ just grabbing marksmans focus
time to cook up a build... again
MG4 should come with full auto mode instead of that semiauto nonsense
Desdshot will kill your stamina
full auto mod mandatory or you will physically hurt yourself
True but it's very funny
just thinking about Clown's deadeye autopistol build
what a menace LMAO
I tend to avoid deadshot in general
Ashe from R6 flashbacks 
This what I got now for MG12
Why salvo
1 taps
I found a way to bypass having to use exe stance to make MG12 1 tap enemies
Still uses MF but it’s very lenient on the number of stacks needed
Nice
I also take marksman with this build
basically when I pop VoC I have 10s where I can 1 tap enemies
Might be longshot and reverse falloff too
this 10s is usually enough to build a few MF stacks to be able to 1 tap when the effect wears off
I don't have longshot on this build
Show build pls
no longshot for MG12? mr cat explain yourself
u can run krak over frag
I took frag cuz I play knife
so thats why you take serrated edge
yez
