its out for blood numbskull
And since BL transfers that toughness to the rest of the team, assuming everyone is in coherency, they also get it
O4B
FUCK
i think that's out of blood translated to some language
yeah XD
So not only do I get 400%, my entire team gets it. Which is 1600% toughness
Well they get 15% of 400 x 3
and with CF it would be 1700
Oh yeah I forgot the 15%
yeah lol
No
.....losing brain cells over here seriously what is this chat rn
I mean including all you said
Darktide is a brain loosing game
What?
that's true it would be a 15 of 400%
When do you kill 20 elites with one plasma shot?
which is 60% to each allie
add this a 15 because you have CF
which is 75%
Ik it would not be to all
Because people spread
Pretty common fighting shotgunners
No the hypothetical I created doesn't take into account that I kill any elites
Maybe a couple Idk
The 15% of CF does not change
if it's elite or not
I'm only saying that is not that bad
Yes but when are you killing trash with a range attack?
nope
So it has no synergy with CL
man,are you listering what I'm saying
what's CL?
CF sorry
is this golden clown still still yapping?
yeah,it doesn't have
is this good i've had it forever and forgot about it
The problem with CL is 2 issues:
1.) It does not proc on yourself
2.) It does not proc on mele kills
When am I saying it HAS
that's another point melee kills which i can partially agree with you
So if you are fighting a horde with your mele weapon, you get nothing.
If you shoot thru the horde with your plasma weapon, not only are you wasting ammo, you better hope your entire team is close to that beam
Ok,see this.You are saying that one issue of CF is that it has no synergy with BL.But I'm saying you with numbers that the change it would make to CF to have synergy with Bl it would be so low,so having this into account is not that relevant to CF to have synergy.Do you understand me now?
It more a complementary talent
It has no synergy with BL
stop
If you say that one more time I'm literally going to dip
Yeah the gist is that it encourages you to do things that you shouldn't normally be doing to get any value out of it, and getting value out of it additionally requires some very particular circumstances
When am I saying it has?
Ok,see this.You are saying that one issue of CF is that it has no synergy with BL.But I'm saying you with numbers that the change it would make to CF to have synergy with Bl it would be so low,so having this into account is not that relevant to CF to have synergy.Do you understand me now?
that's the reason why I would be doubtous about using it.However saying not to use it because it has no synergy is quite a bad argument
OK if you are not shooting the plasma gun into a horde, the value you get in comparison to out for blood is non existant
It technically gives your teammates toughness, but yeah it doesn't give benefit from born leader
Well i'm not saying it has synergy
Learn to read
I use my power sword or whatever, awesome I slaughter a horde and give a bunch of toughness to my team
yeah
Thanks for understand me(i think)
So the thing is, 15% of 5% is still quite low
yeah
0,75 per person
Even if you're killing 4 units every swing with BM psword
And additionally it's chip value
Soldier 69 tell you understood me please
Whereas toughness is lost in huge chunks
Or am I crazy?
I haven't been paying attention to the conversation much, I'm playing deeprock atm 

Sounds like a communication failure
yeah
Relax guys
totally
I'm just trying to say my opinion and they are not listening just repeating the same thing
Maybe the reason why I am repeating the same retort is because you keep repeating the same argument
🧠
my man i wouldn't bother thay golden guy is either trolling or is just down right a clown
I'm saying that is not that important that CF HAS NO SYNERGY WITH BL
It is important?It is
Enough to not use it?,i don't think so
I understand that it gives toughness on plasma kill, that's cool and all.
But why would I waste 2 nodes on an extremely conditional node that I could be using in more synergy with BL?
Because the way I use plasma is I primarily use it to kill elites form afar
Not near anyone most of the time
because per kill it gives you 15% of toughness,not a reduced amount of toughness
No it doesn't, it only gives 15% toughness if someone is 5 meters away from the targets you kill
see that's the difference
15% per kill to every ally in 5m
And again it does not proc on yourself, so even if you faceplant yourself into a crusher's ass, it will give you 0% value
Idk your teams but at least in my teams everybody keeps more or less near
Near enough to maybe be inside the area of the talent
Yes they are near each other, but not necessarily near the targets you are shooting at
probably yes
No
in hallways and stairs
????
So it’s useless if you’re not in a hallway or stairwell?
half of the maps are stairs and hallways
So basically you are telling me that when everyone is crushed like sardines together, then it becomes useful?
At which point, is melee because you’re at/in a choke point .
Most part of the maps are that
Ngl I don't think it's a good idea to be near half of the elites in this game
I do not want my team near 20 crushers
I do not want my team near 20 ragers
when a horde of raggers,crushers,bulwards...come it is useful and in auric is quite common
OK so the plasma gun is good at killing primary targets
So why would I waste the precious ammo on a horde?
If it works for you…then keep slaying my friend
do you listen?
a horde OF
that means a horde composed by this thing
I don't honestly even know what hypothetical you are generating here
no one
lmao
At least i use plasma to kill horde of elites that are comming and range enemies
For normal hordes I use the axe with the push attack
I still don't get it
._.
Do you really want to think about it more?
At least for me is not that difficult to understand
So basically if every engagement is a perfect scenario of you being able to line up a perfect shot into a bunch of shotgunners, then you get full value of CF?
why shotgunners?
You're not paying attention
Well I don't think you can cleave thru crushers or maulers with the plasma gun, that's why I chose shotgunners
I only wanted to share my opinion with some numbers :[
Idk I don't even think it would be possible to cleave thru 20 shotgunners
And thats fine, my dude. Play how you want for real. But its gone in circles.
ik,right?
I think i'm not expressing my idea that bad,no?
Or is it me?
I wouldn't run it but play how you want.
Actually wait. I do have a support vet build that runs it and I shoot into squads when I see people getting rocked by whatever. Its very niche.
I'm doubtful because it could bee just quite specific,but I said i could understand it and that i agree on that
It is a bad idea, because you will not get the value you are creating in your mind
Idk, wasting 2 nodes like that to me is a hard pass 🤷🏻
The emperor gave me bullets to kill heretics. I'll shoot into mobs. Whatever.
Just use glory on plasma
i'll use it
This talent would just be a complement to increase my toughness generation
I want it lvl 4
It does not generate toughness on yourself
I swear to christ
You're circling it man. Let it go.
toughness generation is not only to myself clear your eyes
You only generate toughness if you kill something near a teammate
That's a very big IF
ok man and I'm saying you that you're right
I'm saying you that for 1h
What I don't agree on is about the synergy stuff
If not look at this message
I'm not saying it's perfect
Of course I won't make a perfect or even a good build,however it's just a suggestion to put on
The point I was making is that wasting 2 points on CF when there are other nodes that are significantly more consistent
You could also think and I agree on the cost of 2 nodes
Probably it's because we use plasma gun different
Sure in a perfect scenerio where your teammates are always near the targets you shoot at, it has value
Unfortunately that very rarely happens
At least in most of my gameplays people stay melee near enemies
and elites
(not gunner and that stuff)
It also doesn't happen as often as you think, because even a focus vet probably is meleing most of the time
I'm just curious. How many times do y'all think you've repeated points of arguments in the last hour?
many
too many
probably more than 8
or 10
i have made no points and am so far the victor
At least for me CF in a mixed ranged/melee build could be at least a decent option
I don't say a good option or the BEST option
If you like it and you win thats all that matters at the end of the day.
But i just entered in an argument
lol
I just got to level 30 what do I do now?
It needs a redesign, talents shouldn't encourage you to do bad things
The real game begins
Do you like gambling?
Hopefully fatshark learned a lesson from crabwalking
lmao that fucking blessings that never appear
I hate it
Day ??? If trying to find Manstopper
Let's goooooo!
Still unsuccessful
I bought like 25 knifes to have a good knife,not even the best :[
And those are only the ones i upgraded
Mine is missing like 20 finesse or something but is still pretty good
I hate crafting
Why do you need a knife on Psyker?
Unless you are going insane and doing 3 stamina nodes ☠️
who says i use psyker with knife?
lmao
I use stealth vet
Oh mb this is vet chat 😔
lol
this is my best gun
Well tbh, vet also isn't in hard demand on a knife
and I have thid FUCKING AXE AND I DON'T GET THE DAMM BLESS
IDK how many brunts Ive rolled, or how many of my friends have quit the game instead of installing mods to make crafting at least not incredibly painful
yeah,i hate crafting
They should rework it
Getting a godly statline and then getting a brick is one of the worst experiences
I don't even know how you fix something this shit
Oh thanks god...i mean FOR THE EMPEROR!!
They have released absolutely nothing 😔
i hope they fix it soon
No ideas, no leaks, no progression
Money dump to remove locks. Simple fix.
Lets people trade their grind for incremental improvements, instead of relying on rng
Bruh just make it so that you can choose your perks and blessings
Is painful to use 3k plasteel to not get your blessing lvl 4
All 4 of them
That's it, it then is fixed
You will still need to grind for reblessings, and decent stats on the weapon
There is a strong argument that letting people just craft godrolls is not good, as while interminable grind is bad, no grind makes things feel cheap
But most guns in the game are functional without literally no blessings or perks
The difference between "god" and regular is soo slim
Make it so that the skill "expression" is knowing what blessings and perks to add onto your gear
Most people don't know wtf they are doing anyways
Yeah but like grinding for rewards is motivating. Having an end game dump that costs like 5k plas and 2k diamantine to get +1 random stat, or similar price to remove a lock lets people work towards the best weapons without just giving them away
But is frustating af
That's a shit goal and based on gambling, not your skill and commitment as a player
I think the blessing system is one of the worst parts of crafting. Either each weapon family should have an experience bar that unlocks higher tier blessings as you rank up, or they should just be level locked. Having to roll dozens of trash weapons to farm blessings is just bad
Your skill and commitment will be directly proportional to your crafting as you earn more rewards on higher diff and by playing more games
Smoke gang rise up ✊🏻
Later is a very useful tool to avoid that ass pain enemies called shooters,gunners and shotgunners
ahhh my man smokes are awesome IF you know how to use them
yeah
who gave the clown permission to speak
you lel
when you're typing here

Gambler, you have a Star Rail banner on your profile, I don't think you should be shit talking
Just sayin
🚶🏻
enlighten me
I use smoke to make sure my teammates that never dodged a gunner in their life take 50% less damage
I like to think I use them as effectively as I can, but I genuinely wish for a frag over it 50% of the time
I think it's useful, taking into account that 99% of the people who play this game are absolute dogwater
literally listened to a dude rant about it for the entirety of the assassination end boss today
"you cant see it man its so shit you should change it"
"it makes it harder for everyone its so fucking garbage"
Where they a Zealot player?
had to mute the dude. no, ogryn
Most Ogryn players always have shit takes because they like to unintentionally roleplay them
It does have a rather large drawback for precision shooting, but smokes can be very good when a million shooters pop out from every corner and start peppering you
im not here to judge people for their character choices thats lame
talking shit for a solid two minutes about how dog shit smokes are is also lame
There are some good ogryns, but yeah, lots of them seem to think that acting dumb = RP as ogryn
They did make it much harder to deal with gunners last time I played
Problem with DT atm is that the majority of players are first timers from a sale, or coming back because of an update.
So they go into my damnation games downing every 10 seconds 😔
Is that so bad? Really? Players learning the game? Thats rough.
It is when it's in my auric damnation runs
There is no shame lowering the difficulty
You must be 
Nah, I actually know how to aim 
Good for you man.
But the thing is, how do they even get by normal runs?
They can't be finishing runs playing like that
Couldnt tell you. I dont empathize with your problem.
But do they actually enjoy not even playing the game?
They literally are dead more than they are playing
They enjoy the krieg cosmetics they bought
That doesn't sound fun imo 😔
That's good enough for our friend fatshark
Tru
I dont lose sweat about other peoples fun.
The game does have a very difficult initial curve tho
I can understand why people develop bad habits
Like jumping to dodge a crusher overhead ☠️
Or never blocking
Dodge and jump tgt is the worst
Wait what, I didn't change those hot keys
and the default behavior of the keybind is devious (you always jump if your dodge is in cooldown)
Is that console?
nah M+KB as well
That never happened to me
I'm confused
you prob changed them and didn't remember
I'm pretty sure ei didn't change anything movement wise
I only changed the equipment hot keys
I moved marking to my mouse
And alt attack
But that's it
games are just not going well tonight
Skulls sale and it's consequences 😔
I thought bayonet on helbore was a meme
It seems like it's not it actually kills muties so fast
And which one do you use to run?
It's nice that new players are joining, but I have a feeling that there is little retention 😔
Shift
So you use shift to run and dodge?
Yes
Oh
Yeah I do too
dodge on shift is def the best keybind to have it on
Because you can only run forward, and you cannot dodge forward
I unfortunately use default and I jump :[
cuz you're going to be dodging all the time and your thumb is free to do whatever
another game required me to use my pinky a lot so i was fine with using shift for dodge
I swear to God I never changed any of those hot keys, it must have been added later
Maybe?
Whoever had the idea of using space bar to jump and dodge and thought it was a good idea should go to hell
Tbh u don't jump very often in this game
here's default_ingame_input_settings.lua from nov 2022 https://github.com/Aussiemon/Darktide-Source-Code/blob/5726467ccf353eb43568aab87574b4338fc32f84/scripts/settings/input/default_ingame_input_settings.lua
space has always been the default
Yeah
it's just the default behavior that's really devious
because it makes you jump if your dodge is in cooldown no matter what
and there's no option to change this
But it's soo strange because I honestly don't remember changing that hot key
prob just such a natural change that you didn't think much of it
Maybe, but I feel like I remember my hot keys well
smokes are used against shooters
i don't remember every setting change i made
simples
im not enlightened
Yes
you are daemonhost daddy
😔
ugh ok smokes are used against shooters like i said either forcing the shooters to either reposition or run through the smoke and into melee range
OK so smoke grenades are useful when you want to BLAZE it
The problem is that smoke doesn't hide you from snipers
dont listen to the clown they do
Do they?
why would you want us to ignore you
Snipers got the lasers and special goggles
😔
I thought they didn't?
So was I right?
I have this brilliant idea on how to deal with snipers
How about
Just
Dodge them?
🧠
People don't dodge
Yea snipers ignore smoke idk what y’all smoking if you see the red line on you, you should dodge regardless
Heh what yall smoking
Lol
But I didn't say anything
People jsut panic because they see the laser and fold like a paper
we could hear the squeaking
But snipers are meant to, they ignore vent purge and lights out on purpose because they have the sniper gear for it
honk honk
They seeing you in different wavelengths
not you sneaky i'm talking about that golden idiot
Hiiiii sneaky
Gambler we are all idiots for plying Darktide this far
😔
But golden was right in that case stop being a pissbaby
Did they buff how fast you run with bayonet with helbore btw ?
Oh tanks
Why is this gun so fast now xD
It use to be one of the least mobile guns in the game now you can zoom across the map with it
Maybe depending the last time you used it, they did buff the bayonet related stuff a lot
I see thx
You zoom zoom

Like legit I was out running a knife guy before I ran out of stamina xD
Lmao
The true clown way to counter a sniper is to look them in the eyes and let them shoot you just so you can see their despair when your toughness eats the whole sniper shot
I miss old rambo vet
Wrong
Those are tough words
That was literally what you did
I'll catch the sniper shot in my teeth
75% dr from ult always active and ck giving you 25+ 25 overtime stacking toughness
You pick a bully club you eat the hit through your hp then slap him
To death
been patched
Or just stack so much TDR that snipers can't hurt you anymore
Oh
Knife punch to death
Ehh tdr curios do have diminishing returns
That too
One sniper is the most impactful
But slapping feels more satisfying
Close Order Drill, Iron Will, Sniper Resist, Toughness Curios, both +25 toughness nodes
Sheeeeesh
I don't use bayonet because my aim sucks
I mean
But it's really strong
You just get use to it man
Just have to use it you automatically build the muscle memory
And when I use a range weapon always the fatty orgy gets in the middle -_-
Helbore has enough cleave to go through teammates
As a ogryn main
I say that's just Part of life
Big bad ogryn
Plus ogryn with point blank barage will out damage any vet gun xD
Don't worry things are dying
Maybe Helbore could but the rest except some not
It’s just bad design
ahhh cunt maybe shut the fuck up and watch
you will see i was right 🙂
That's why I hate ogryns when I play vet
That Parrt i agree at least in vermintide friendly shot also damaged your team
Now why does it even exists
Just imagine if there was friendly damage omg all my ally ogryns would be more dead than the emperor
Snipers don’t go through smoke anymore
I'm so happy about that change
Been patched for a while
Finally they got some use
Plasma, Revolver, Agripina Shotgun Slug and Helbores can all shoot through friendly players
or get clowned on
But still the only thing that gives bad rept to smoke is
The players who smoke their own goddam team
I like using focus target to ping targets so I can see the outline even behind poxwalkers/friendly players and keep firing until the target goes down
Like holy hell man that thing staggers gunners smoke the enemy !
4 weapon of 30?
Amount of time I have eaten a ninja overhead from s crusher cuz of a bad smoke...
He’s using it correctly, unironically
Ik it would be more but you understand me
You’re usually meant to drop smoke on ur own position
correct they do so like i was saying earlier golden is a clown and the idiot wasn't right about smokes
It’s basically Psyker’s bubble shield but different flavour
actually listen to a infiltrate vet WHO KNOWS WHAT THE FUCK HE TALKING ABOUT
Please don't do that
Man shut you mouth
The smoke I'm telling you is like a wall
Throwing smoke on gunners already firing at u does effectively nothing
They’ll get staggered for a very brief moment then continue firing at u (tracking u) no problem
Enemy will get staggered then they have to run to you to see you again
If you smoke your own team you could get them killed
What do you run btw ?
I run either rashad axe or chainaxe with aggrpinia infintry autogun
Whatever I feel like at that time xD
depends on what build the team needs
And about not knowing that I know nothing...your brain dropped 🧠
Watch then decide for urself
There are three variants of Helbore and all can cleave. There are other guns with some cleave value like Recon Mk VIIa, Agripina Infantry Autogun and Agripina Braced Autogun though I'm unsure if those have enough cleave to shoot through a friendly player
The stagger window is so short it basically doesn’t matter
But Revolver, Plasma, all three Helbores and Agripina Slugs can for sure
I said in the next message ik they were more because Helbore is a kind of weapon
Wait a sec
Why aren't they getting staggered ?
Anything with >2 cleave can go through teammates
This is how smokes work 
That's clearly a bug that's meant to suppress range enemies
I just so happened to be one of the few people who check how things work
Cuz I do the veteran guide 
U can try to do a smoke wall
It use to stagger
My theory is that they changed that behavior when they made gunners/reapers stop shooting
Did they remove that ?
If they’re already firing, they have enough stagger resist to not care about smoke’s “mild stagger”
this is proof gunners stop shoting
Oh I see what you mean
This is not “smoke on gunner”
This is smoke’s concealment effect
Check bottom left status bar
Do you have a list of weapons with enough cleave to shoot through team mates on the 2.0 guide? 
Concealment is what stops enemies from shooting at u
Yes
NICE
Oh nice
I'm really curious about what all made it into the list
i know this
i was just showing that gunners will stop shooting
Helbore 1, 2, 3
Recon 7a
Agripinaa 8 braced autogun
Agripinaa 1 infantry autogun
Plasma
Boltgun
Zarona revolver
Agripinaa shotgun (slug)
Lawbringer shotgun (spread shot)
Kantrael shotgun (fire shot)
this was just a demo it was lol
If you’re concealed yes
If you’re not concealed and you drop a smoke on them directly, it’s not going to work
Zarona too?!?!
I thought it couldn't pass through allies
that's the agripina revolver
That’s the other revolver
I had no idea the Lawbringer Shotgun had enough cleave by default to pass through allies that's really good to know
No, only the spread shot
4.5 cleave
I'm confused
Zarona (ADS)
Agripinaa (braced, fan fire)
you aint wrong there
Well yea ik I check stuff before I put into guide 
aint smokes supposed to stagger those?
Oh,as it says in the list Zarona I got confused
It does... but apprently when you firing
I mean when they are firing they got shit ton of stagger resistance
Sorry for the wording but yeah that's what I mean. The special shot but not the standard shot. I should be free to shoot through Shieldgryns and clear hordes now
thats something that fat shark needs to fix
I have been enjoying Lawbringer Shotgun with the battle pass armour
hey get a load of this clown
It staggers regular shooters (shooters & stalkers) but gunners have always been be more or less unaffected by smoke’s stagger
ok got it
No need to clown on people here, smoke is generally misunderstood
You know one gun that so dum ? Freaking mkIV lasgun
Why does this thing got so much ammo xD
The shoot forever gun
Lawbringer spread shot impact, my beloved
i mean some people deserve to be clowned on
Lol bro tells that to a person who started to play seriously this game not even 6 months ago
With deadly accurate and headhunter also IT HITS LIKE A TRUCK !
I think you should control your ego my friend
Smoke was confusing I didn't know how concealment works
He’s been cool tho, helped me with some stuff I didn’t know
But thanks now I know
Lemme send the actual stuff I have in guide
I will smoke myself though thing is my character is faster than my team anyway
I like using it with Shock Trooper, Survivalist and Marksman's Focus because I am a clown who doesn't like thinking about ammo ever
It's funny how people's ego shows up and don't remember that they probably were like that,not knowing everything
throws smoke at daemonhost
Exe Stance and MF stacks let it 1HKO Dreg Gunners
personally i throw smokes infront of my team incase we need to make a push or something
I love how as much as other Veteran fashion is cool and all. The Krieg set just slaps by itself
Krieg armor is cool
I run it with sharpshooter xD
It's such a pew pew pew gun
Basically u want to use smoke how you’d use Psyker’s bubble shield
I found quite difficult to get info about smoke when I started using it
I have had a lot of fun lately doing Infiltrate and Low Profile with a Mk II Helbore to just stand in place and put shots out freely
I think smoke is more of single person thing than other two grenades
Like if you got the movement speech aura
You be ahead of your team anyway
I had a lot of fun finishing out my last penances to earn the outfit just relaxing and shooting

Btw you guys run chainaxe with your vet ?
Chainaxe is a very niche tool for vet
I love the new one with shock trooper
nahh boss chainsword all day
The new one feels like a normal combat axe
Sometimes yeah but I always take Trench Fighter Drill and Weapon Specialist to increase the melee attack speed. It feels too sluggish without those imo
I don't like it because I find it quite slow to use against amour
But is as I see it
Except combat axe kills almost every elite more reliably and horde clears like 2.5x as fast, without having low dodge
I have a boss killer build that uses Chainaxe XII to demolish bosses
Oh,send it
I like to think I aim to do these things. Smoke to advance, break line of sight towards objectives, displace gunners. Honestly. 841 hours and a vast majority of it has been vet. I practice a little bit.
It can work I just dont think it works as well as the other frags. Doesn't feel like it works enough to me.
That's true
Still I love how much single Target damage it does though
841?!? Damm it
Basically u take chainaxe because ur missing carapace dmg on a sharpshooter build and you don’t want a shovel because shovel sucks vs unyielding
I can't. I am not home right now. I'm out at a seafood buffet celebrating father's day early with my dad and the rest of my family since this is the only day this week we can get everyone off work at once
Ive played since beta man.
But when I get home sure
It doesn’t have very good finesse scaling for melee vet build
Don't worry :]
Send it when you're able
Oh shit
In a vacuum yes
But in a big horde fight locking urself into rev atk is pretty unsafe
imagine spending time with loved ones
And if a bubble psyker is in group I dont feel like I really need it at all unless im out of coherency.
221h and I'm as noob as the beginning lmao
It takes a circus to raise a clown, and a clown must perform for the circus when called
Like, one of chainaxe’s strongest points is its ability to 1 shot crushers
But in a 1v6 crusher melee only situation, having to dodge cancel rev H1 on mk12 chainaxe just so u don’t get 1 tap overheaded is brutal and really drops the kill efficiency
You can still get away with rev if your good 
It’s just very risky that’s all
I heard mk4 can just light spam so it’s not as big of a problem
But vs anything else than crushers the Heavy itself does sick damage
You don't need to rev for ragers or gunners
Nice and clean
The push attack is also really good for sniping heads
mk4 chainaxe can light spam vs single targets for fairly good single target, but it's probably slower on carapace without thunderous
Also its lights have no cleave whatsoever so
Vs crushers almost nothing has cleave so that’s not rly a big minus
True, but just putting it out there for those who don't know
You sadly can't just light spam for everything with it
If it could shred groups I'd love it
any news on when we are getting the new cosmetics?
it's sacha baron cohen in a sling bikini
well it's because no update yet and the cosmetics come with the update
wwell we need a hotfix for that
imagine if its just fucking anime
i'd cry
Lol
Cat jumpscare
why does assail target barrels even
Swap back to vet, win
always trust a veteran to make it rain body parts
I probably need to work on my ogryn. I had been doing a few games with him and none of them panned out
luv me ogryns
close save on the zealot
plenty of time
i realized after they had that perk, but still
You should try the push attack with the ps
oh yeah,really good
really nice single target
and blaze away too
if the termal resis wasnt that bad i'd say it would be usable
yeah
I want get hot and Gloryhunter
That was what someone recommended me
i like blaze away more
though after the nerf
its kinda eh
It's for toughness
Toughness build
gethot relies on crits
100 108 116 124 132 140 140 140 damage if you have over 68 thermal resis, and if you fire from 0 heat and spam the lclick
then do you recommned Gloryhunter + Blaze?
oh I understand
lucky ass
cause i havent got both gloryhunter 4/gethot 4
base damage increase from blaze is great
if you can deal with the ammo economy
you need to spam to get its benefit unlike get hot that just relies on crits
It depends on whether you are spamming from 0-100 and manually venting, or quickswapping (mainly). Gets hot is best if you are mainly only shooting a few shots and relying more on your melee weapon for example.
Then they are likely pretty even in effect.
Tbh you can't play ranged purist anyway unless you have like a helbore
Or a psyker staff
(And helbore does it by stabbing them with your gun)
Huh, I see people doing 80-90% of their damage as ranged damage pretty often in T5 aurics.
wow
on vet
this week's slop is lazy even for fatshark
or zealot
took an day to
get
the stuff they already sold
back on
like
guess my review stays up
yeah pretty dogshit
give it a few days for someone to buy it and make a driptide post on reddit
Yes, I do see both Vets, Zealots, Gunpsykers and Ogryns doing the vast majority of their damage with ranged weapons.
Not everyone though, and they arent the majority. But it is definitely possible
Especially considering the state of power creep the game has suffered from, sadly.
ah right, when do we get the datamine Scion
and even then I have to take the power sword out sometimes
All Black Uniform
Ya know something I do love it when a team is who knows how to work together gets the job done and with randoms that’s rare
And I just had one of those rare encounters
Yeah
You still a piss baby @‘ing me twice while i was sleeping
Grow up k, I didn’t see that change, u right, i’m wrong
Poppin emotes ain’t helping ya maturity case
Never
You're supposed to keep playing forever knowing it may one day come
sniper shots?
apprantly it was broken after they'd said that "it should block sniper fire now"
now it actually works
this is a super late response but i have sprint and dodge set to space, because my thumb is way more reliable/stronger than my pinky finger, and since i got sore after holding sprint for so long
then i have jump set to shift
Use mouse buttons for dodge
i also have slide and special attack bound to mouse, since smol hands make it uncomfortable to reach ctrl and it’s easier
I alredy use use to change weapons and use blitz
had it on alt before but realized my pinky wasn’t doing anything so i set it to shift
oh yeah depends how many ur mouse has I guess
I have 3
i have change weapons set to q
i have q to special attack
q as ping is uber weird
so i use the punch form knife with the q
to ping I use the mouse wheel button
yep me too
...
i wish i had it recorded but once we got 3 people collateralled in a game by a sniper
all 3 of us died it was crazy
Closest thing I have recorded is a Crusher downing all 4 of us, doesn't feel the same though
Once I got sniped through an ogryn grounded shield
Felt cheap
Sniper shots blocked by the shield don't hurt the ogryn but still go straight through
Yea game does seem to have a knack for stressing CPU
Dickpunch!
🤜
It makes it better cause it dies to 7 damage lmao
Interesting name
came back after a long time, using Infiltrate and combat blade 4 for the first time. What's the desired perk on this, Uncanny?
For mk6 knife
Uncanny + mercy/executor/riposte
Carapace/elite/flak/stamina
Thoughts on knife Vet? Melk came through with this today
Don’t play lacerate
Knife vet is good tho
lacerate is only good for korean 
I'm a lacerate connoisseur on my Zealot
😎
It's even worse of a choice on zealot 
With precog being bugged with duellist and having the best possible flesh tearer usage
Bleed addicts be like
"I can stop anytime I want"
Picks scourge
Russian guy griefing and just waiting until teammates die and laughs
How sad do you have to be
It’s not a bug, finesse, weakspot and Crit are additive bonuses
It’s how u get to absurd precog + duellist Dmg profiles
Asked kuli abt that a while ago
(No uncanny)
Explain why you lie to Joe Ogryn before

That’s exactly what the ss I sent above says?
And yea I asked kuli, he said that duellist functionally is very similar to what +50% finesse would be like
No, finesse, weakspot and crit go into same additive
It’s weird
FS arcane mathematics
The only +dmg bonus I remember being weirdly multiplicative is “Close DMG”
Stuff like zealot’s anoint in blood, veteran’s longshot & CQKZ
+Close DMG is separate multiplicative bonus from +dmg
Don’t think abt it too hard, I didn’t 
I just cared abt what breakpoints which weapons can normally reach

If I had to deal with FS’s warp travel grade mathematics I think I’d give myself an aneurysm
Is veteran newbie friendly?
It's the call of duty man class
And has overshout, which is a constant stupidity buffer for you and your team provided you remember to press it
So decently so
Yes, melee is an integral part of the game
Every class has to melee, some more than others
Use your gun to clear shooters/elites/specials
Yeah but can he do high difficulty?
Use your melee for the melee chaffe enemies
hell yea
All the classes can do the hardest content
everyone does high diff there ain't no class that weak rn
Vet is quite valuable for surv and overshout alone
I feel weak as ogryn
Ogryn is stupidly durable
Every ranged enemy in the game: no
Ogryn is big and clumsy but can get a lot of DR
Gunner dmg reduction curios:
Well, gunner only affects the gunner elites and reapers
But it's still a good take
I got the firing squad treatment walking into a room on diff 3 as ogryn
Diff 3 is the ez part
Diff 3 is a snoozer
But you will be squishier early on without good curios
And access to more DR talents
Keep in mind, you can't just go charging alone into packs
You should be able to rely on your team to handle shooters as an ogryn while you cleanup the melee stuff
Should
Yes. I'm a clown. I've run literally the worst weapons through Auric Damnation difficulty. I've run Shredder Autopistol. I've run Recon Mk II. I main the Recon Mk VId. Veteran is a very strong, versatile class that can be played any difficulty with any loadout. Just be careful about ranged focused builds on no ammo maelstrom with bad ammo economy because that's an extra hard mode on top of hard mode LOL
@tall torrent did you post the newer guide version somewhere yet
in the balls
excellent
If you're not a clown you can use normal weapons and be better than me LOL
Sneaky plays an extremely glass cannon build with no survivability because of masochist tendencies
Yes
Even melee fodder enemies are too tough
🤨
That's because your weapons sugg 
Post em
One human sized guy took 4 heavy hits from an ogryn to die
Was it a power maul
paul gaming
Just army guy 675
No the ogryn weapon
Were you using a power maul
Because the og one is notoriously dogshit
No
But yeah if you're leveling you're using low stat weapons without good perks/blessings
It was a metal bat
Not yet, I can send u a link to it tho
Has 3 sections unfinished
Take a screenshot and post it
No
Leveling it at the start blows
But strictly speaking it's not that hard to play, unless you want to use pswords as a scroob
Are chain swords good?
They have surprisingly very good clear times on chaffe
Only thing they're bad at is carapace
i'd appreciate it
Ok dm
Very reliable weapons
They're okay, not a fan of chainswords myself
they are ok, I'm not a fan of them but if you want a melee option thats somewhat carapace capable they can fill in gaps in your loadout
Carapace is an agony with chainswords
they're better at it than something like a devil claw
they're also less garbage vs flak compared to claws I think
then why do I prefer claws? because they have really good easy to use movesets
Holy shit I love whiplash memes
Quick questioon
i wanted to earn a blessing on my weapon
i had to turn it in, now its gone
Yes
how do i get it back with blessing?
You don't
?
Get a new weapon
You have to scrap the weapon to store the blessing
You now have the blessing (with tier) in your library and can put it on other weapons (of similar type)
Yes
OHHHH
i get it
Ok, another question. Sorry
Now i got a chainsword, upgraded it to purple
how do i get a blessing on it now? the one i just got from turning the old one in?
To get the second slot, you'd upgrade to gold
Or you could craft the blessing as is, but that isn't recommended
Ohhh i see. The blessing are "locked" untill i earn the exact blessing by turning it in. If i get a new weapon with that blessing, it activates?
You can't craft the blessing unless you scrap a weapon for it, yes
But anything on a weapon will work as is
Ok. Example:
The new chainsword got "75 cleave on a crit" - could i change it to another blessing?
Yes, but you only get two changes currently
So you have to weigh your options
After the two changes, the unchanged slots lock
What variant is this?
wdym variant?
There's different kinds of variants of the same family line
There's two chainswords currently
13g and mk4
13g
The particulars of each weapon is different
The 13g NEEDS wrath, due to being a light spammer
This is because light attacks have lower cleave values than heavy attacks (generally)
where can i check what blessing i have? so i can check if ihave wrath=
can you come voice real quick maybe? :
😄
You can check it in at hadron wherever it lets you change the blessing
Cannot at the moment
:((
There's a pdf guide in the pins with pretty good info on what you generally want on each weapon
At least as far as vet is concerned
It's currently being updated
im pretty new, just hit lvl 28 and got a solid setup i think. But i never checked crfting and refining and all that really
You shouldn't really until you hit 30
Oh okay
As the base modifiers for weapons in the shops scale with your level
So for example, you could get 250-330 at 24 or something
And then you'll get 300-380 at 30
Yes
fk i wasted all my diamantin i think haha
Rip blessings off emperors gifts, they're usually poorly rolled
diamantine usually has a massive excess if you play higher difficulties
You'll get it back, plasteel is the larger concern
i have 2 k plast steel, should i safe it?
i have no fkn clue besides how to play i guess
no idea about crafting, currencies, whatever
from my performance in 5/5 missions, i think i play veteran the right way
checked a guide on skills and talents once, kinda went with it and it works
Use the pdf in the pins
A lot of guide content for darktide is outdated or of questionable value
Especially random builds from gameslantern and youtube stuff
Especially YouTube stuff
ok spicy take time
after spending a lot of dockets and plasteel to get a passable rashad mk II
I think it's overrated
the swing speed is pretty slow
killing 4 targets per swing is neat but it feels sluggish
I prefer the tac axe
LOL
yeah idk it's fun but it's too slow for me
Tac Axe has the speed I love
2 million dockets to get a weapon that can kinda do everything but does it worse than other weapons
not S tier in anything
A tier in everything
but that just ends up making it boring to use for me
Bet you can't make it viable
I used it with trench fighter drill and weapon specialist to up the melee attack speed and still felt like a slug
do you mean the tac axe? it's already viable
Understandable, although I'm not going to support tac axe any time soon
I run it sometimes in aurics and love the swing speed
Rashad Mk II Combat Axe is arguably one of the best melees in the Vet arsenal
I just find it too slow
and boring
Rashad is great
FS should make Decapitator meta
Well u can speed it up
yeah I already did
The only problem with rashad 2 is it is hard to take out muties
