And these little strudel things
I'll have you know I panic in a moderate amount
This is paradise in Atoma. Grab a chair, a pina corpsestarchlada and enjoy the view of the smoke plumes rising from the battlefields
Could've fooled me, I thought this was a ded game

any chainsword users here that can quickly tell me what its dump stats might be?
I said the game, not you
Mobility
Shredder is the least important damage stat, mobility you want up to 51% for the extra dodge
I know. As long as we are all here playing, the game is still alive
Shredder only applies to special attacks
bet
Shredder is very funny for Rev attacks into bosses though
No longer
:3
yanking the chainaxe out the beast of nurgle like beyblade anal beads
At least the elden ring dlc will alleviate my boredom so I don't have little better to do than go "akshually" about recons ad nauseum
Dawntrail is coming soon too
I still want to stick around to see the Boltpistols before I fall hard into FF14 again
I finished ARR. I need to get back into it
Nerf me more. Keep nerfing me until my gun heals poxwalkers
Chainwhip but all the links are razor bladed beyblades
This caused me mental pain to think about
I hear murmur about crit strings getting nuked so total r*con death maybe? lmao


Loss of crit strings probably isn't going to bother me LOL
deleted recon
It has a crit string of 2. Crit strings being removed is probably going to matter less to the Recons than it will the Columnus Infantry Autogun tbh
A man can dream
Would be as funny to me as when dota 2 removed poor mans shield
hotshit volley gun: spewing diarrhea
Make it have a heat system instead of ammo
Every shot causing self corruption
So the pox shooters can hose poxes and not drag down the ammo supply for everyone else
Even if it's as bad as the current recons it's an overall benefit to the game
But they just updated the ammo aura so theres less free ammo
Fatshark just write in the patch notes "deleted scavenger"
Make Hotshot guns have a heat system but it just causes HP damage to continue to fire them at max heat instead of outright exploding and if you hit the special action button at max heat instead of venting you withdraw the fiery red glowing clip and throw it into a horde grenade style to explode after a short delay
gonna use it to hoover the medicae 
It's the barrel that overheats on lasguns, not the battery pack
Have it be the one grenade that can blow up in your hand. Itd be funny
However battery packs can be used as makeshot explosives
Yes do that
It would be fun to exchange some ammo for a small explosive
Recon users obtaining new levels of mag dumping never seen before
If it's near empty that sounds like a net positive imo
Hotshots are also typically backpack battery powered
We'll never get backpack weapons
So anything that's actually a heat system wouldn't have packs
Backpack weapons would conflict with backpack cosmetics
Shoot once. Throw at poxhorde.
Im helping
They would never
You're probably right but only because fatshark is a bad company prone to making bad decisions
It'd be more work to make the weapon and then more work to fix them to hide backpack cosmetics or look extra dumb with a backpack having horrible clipping issues with the backpack weapon
make it a fanny pack
Could just... disable the back cosmetic for wearing a pack weapon.
Make a tiny Ratling follow you and they hold the backpack
That's absolutely the kind of weenie excuses I expect from fatshark
Disable it just for having the weapon equipped? Or only when the weapon is drawn? Does swapping to melee remove the backpack from the ranged weapon? Does that bring back your backpack cosmetics too? What about when it inevitably bugs out and causes people to be unable to view or use their backpack cosmetics when switching to another gun?
Yes which is why I don't think they'd do it LOL
If I had any hope they'd do the work to, I would be excited for the idea
Not turning my nose up at the mere mention
I'd imagine for having it in your loadout, it would replace your back cosmetic until swapped off.
Anyway. Sleeptime

That makes sense and in theory if everyone in management agrees it just means that Fatshark has to design and model the weapon, properly attach it to the player model, record new audio to pair with the shots, decide on what blessings to add to the new weapon class, decide what stats the weapon should have and how they affect performance, run balance testing to make sure the weapon is tuned properly for release and then follow up with QA to squash bugs before it goes live. None of those things are as simple as they sound on the surface and there's probably more involved than this touches on
They're already rolling out some new weapons that are not just variants of old weapons so we're going to see how well they managed prepping them for release soon
I'm sure they will be broken but I'm hoping the weapons end up broken in the fun direction before they attempt to fix them
Boltpistol stronger than Boltgun please
It would be SO funny
OH I FORGOT
Animations team for designing how the weapon looks when idle, when firing, when reloading, what action it does for the special, how it looks when drawing the weapon, etc.
And the hardest part of the process is probably just trying to get management to agree on something
We've run out of management team members and no one is left but the janitor but they think the Hotshot gun is cool
I mean thats just a dangerous but standard issue trick Vets do where they overcharge any lasgun pack and just throw it as an Improvised Grenade
Honestly would love to have some gun in the game do that
And then add lines by Hadron threatening to execute any reject she finds out detonated a lasgun battery pack, and a concerned Zola saying she will talk to the rejects about it
The omnissiah forbids it
I'd honestly Enjoy the Stubber and Helgun though to eventually be added, yeah thats kind of the Ogryns role and all to just be hose down area, but I do enjoy the concept of having it for suppression sake or chipping sake with onslaught as a talent
Stubber being the one the Dreg Gunner uses
It should have a chance to Jam I think that would be funny
Vet has braced autoguns, infantry autoguns, recons and the shredder autopistol so it is probably fine to give the Vet a ranged weapon that continues down that line of spray and pray
None of those weapons infringe on the Ogryn doing it
I mean we're eventually getting more Sharpshooter esc weapons
Longlas please
so It wouldn't hurt getting more Spraying weapons
I beg
I dont want to say cause im unsure if Data mining is at all allowed in here
if not I will remain silent
I shared data mine stuff and I didn't get in trouble
Either a mod didn't notice or they don't care
People post datamined shit. We see the double barrel all the time
Well so far There's a Stub Rifle and a Longlas
so like teehee
I would probably use the Stub Rifle tbh
Yes 😩
Rogue Trader has a flame pistol so maybe somewhere down the road Fatshark can give Zealots the flame pistol here too
But my Helbores!
Im going to make it useable
I keep forgetting about them
cause I never use them lmao
they're good! just not my cup of tea
Reminding me to see if I can throw together my Homebrew Regiment with "For The Drip"
It's totally possible they're similar to DKOK and SL I just have to tweak with coats
I could give a super basic TL:DR cause I do not want to flood this channel with useless info lmao
40k as a universe is so massive and with varying levels of tech that you could probably make a homebrew regiment comprised mainly of pike and shot formations in the style of Warhammer Fantasy and still not get any weird looks when people in medieval armour show up on the battlefield with lasguns
You know honestly that would go hard as fuck
I'd let her greatsword me
Honestly I haven't drawn in a while and could use the homebrew regiment as an excuse to slowly get back into it, Selferius Acid Waders is what I called them, they Hail from a Death Planet that's basically Venus, constantly raining extremely corrosive Acid, but they Specialize in Chemical Warfare mainly using Acid as a weapon
I want a fancy hat with a fancy feather
NEAT
Acid is wild for warfare
Selferius is the Planet, extremely Mountainous, usually lower divets and the likes are refered to as "Acid Lakes" or "Acid Oceans" cause the Acid tends to build up in them
Just melt a dude
If you hail from Selferius you're borderline an Abhuman, mainly just cause they've slightly adapated to the environment
I say slightly cause going outside without a kit is death
You know, I read a 40k comic with a similar concept
Kal Jerico was hunting a bounty in the Underhive
I literally just started spitballing with my friend Earlier today after she told me about her homebrew and I went "Fuck it acid warfare"
Wait
This underhive section was prone to acid falls
Where hundreds of tons of corrosive acid waste was poured down into the section
And the people there made a living mining shit out of the acid waste
If you were caught outside during a dump
So, I had to clarify with her cause she's far more of a nerd than I am with 40k lore, I asked if it would make sense on Such a corrosive planet for the typical Hive structure to be reversed, Poor on the top, Wealthy near the lower sections, I can explain if you're curious why im reversing it cause there's a pretty big reason to it
Your acid treated cloak would only last ten seconds at best
Basically the shields tend to malfunction, frequently...
that and the Acid sometimes just gets through
so the poor simply have to suffer the brunt of the acid storms
Imagine if tyranids made it there and ate the acid resistant wildlife, accidentally giving themselves acid blood
It would be possible, but relatively unlikely because a few points of the wealthy being near the top is easier access to orbital stuff
Accidently. More intentionally
I think I could take one
I could probably throw something together for it mainly cause they survive more effectively off of being deeper underground to obviously get away from the Acid
Ez clap
its basically mandatory you wear goggles anywhere near the surface of the hive cause of the Acidic Vapors or you suffer this wacky thing called
Acid Eye
which is literally melting your eyes out of your sockets
We love Death Worlds!
I made the Regiments Design very much based off of Military Chem Suits combined with the obvious 40k Outfits and the likes, I'll have to eventually draw a sketch of it sometime and toss it in Fanart
One of my favorite lore blurbs was when
The Death Guard and Tyranids engaged in bio warfare
Acid Fire! Its a thing!
Eventually the whole planet was turned into a toxic sludge wasteland
Minimal Casualties for the DKOK
When the first tyranid bioship took a sip of it, it died and the rest of the nids fucked off
Oh I forgot to go on about the changes some of the people go through there, Their skin is a bit more Jaundiced looking seeing its from the Acid and they have raspy voices from the atmosphere, people who are sent to Selferius to work tend to die cause the rebreathers are so poor its usually you survive by sheer like or have your lungs burn to a crisp
It has lacerate im so sorry
any modifiers i should look for on a combat knife?
Uncanny is mandatory
knife gets a lot of damage from hitting heads. lacerate does not make up for this
you can try running it and just pretend lacerate doesn't exist i guess
At lvl 21 you should attempt Heresy
it makes it easier to put yourself into Damnation later
with this knife tho?
the last heresy i ran i got overrun by about 70 melee
once you do it really doesn't matter what gets put into your hand
Lacerate bad
If you dodge frequently in hordes and understand how to reset your dodges by pushing and not sprinting
Get another look at action-packed gameplay and more in this latest trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun's Forges of Corruption DLC. Forges of Corruption DLC brings new environments, new weapons, and new enemies to the first-person shooter game.
Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun: Forges of Corruption DLC is available now on PS5 (PlayStation 5), PS4 (Pl...
you should very easily adjust into Heresy/Damnation
hit hit hit block push hit hit hit push
and afterwards you need to push
Knives are very mobile
give you a lot of dodges
What Variant of the Knife is it
hit x 5, then dodge or block
MK6 or MK3
like this?
You should constantly be attacking
catachan mkvi
But basically if you see any enemy in your peripheral or hear the melee wind sfx
The 6 is best used for its sweeping heavies
dodge
The mk3 has objectively the best light attacks if you want to light spam
just keep dodging the moment you see them prepare any swing
the moment you know you're low on dodges push
and dont sprint and you'll get your dodges back
rinse repeat
Should be able to do heresy and damnation once you get that down
ok i'll give knife a go on heresy
also
i'm running around 320 weaponry
Slide Dodging and Sliding
good enouhg?
yeah thats effective
enough?
for now at least
The pushes on the knife come out very quickly so it's very easy to weave them into attacks
I also STRONGLY recommend binding your dodge to your side mouse button
But this, if literally any heretic with a gun even remotely tries to shoot you do them
easy way to avoid being shot
i have a two button mouse
Though Slide Dodging eats 2 effective Dodges so be careful
Imo cause I enjoy it, I binded one of the side mouses to dodge
it will be your best friend
you will hit it a LOT
i dodge backwards mainly if i dodge
You tend to want to dodge to the side more
but backwards is good when you're surrounded
Strongly recommending picking up one with 2 side buttons, it'll change your life. You can find cheap ones pretty easy on amazon.
Just a matter of what mouse shape you want
i don't mind spending on a new laptop and mouse
but cash flow is issue right now
that's 3-6 months from now
money that tight at the moment
to frame it, $5 is a huge expense right now.
i'm in between jobs
Although when you do upgrade, I recommend not buying a laptop for gaming purposes
logitech m550
it will have to do @junior needle
laptop gives me mobility, i don't even have my own place right now
looking at what i'll be running, space marine 2, mechwarrior online, darktide, possible a star wars game like outlaws
it should be fine for now, and anything higher end grapihcs i'll need to run on geforcenow like i am now
so i'll run it with the knife and see if it's a playstyle i like
I want to say - don't push yourself to do Heresy if it's entirely too tough for where you're at
the main thing with heresey is i ran out of rifle ammo
and the melee hordes were unending
Be ambitious, but don't bang your head into the wall forever
Yea Heresy can feel like a lot at that level
Space bar dodge for accidentally jumping when you meant to dodge
There's an always dodge option to avoid that iirc
But yeah if you spam space you'll jump between dodge cooldowns
Early Heresy does feel real good though
i don't like the feeling of dodging too much. i'd rather block or straight out run
the movement is so small for dodge
although last game i did a light swing with combat axe, overhead and hit a charging brute and killed it
dodge might be helpful for those charging brutes
Dodging is great- oh totally dodge is 100% the play for muties
dodge is like the most important thing - especially for shooters
i mean, are people on a controller? how to dodge that effectively
Oh I'm not on controller - if dodge is really poorly bound-
...
huh
interesting
I have a buddy on controller who also hates dodging
guess it's being light on the movement keys not spamming w
i'd think dodge would be easier with a dodge button
controller you would already be moving by stick direction
but that sacrifices rifle aim
ok, i'll try heresy with the knife let's see
people saying it's doable, if it's totally not i'll let you know. get feeling knife is ultra fast swings maybe helpful
knife is fast, i can see people liking this. i'd rather use a power weapon instead of spamming attacks though
it ended at the first red bar boss (4/heresy)
i got surrounded and knifed my way out, so it's definitely good. before with a power weapon i'd have to block push and fight my way out instead of spamming out
but i found myself concentrating on clicking mouse and where i was targetting too much with knife, not monitoring toughness bar
chainaxe any good?
i have a chainaxe with thrust i on it
this worth trying? i read something about thrust being a good blessing
something to keep in mind about dodges is that it gives i-frames against ranged attacks, and it gives something similar to i-frames for melee attacks except that it also checks for distance
against melee attacks, if you're too close, you'll still get hit
so, dodge distance doesn't really matter as long as you're not right up to them, and it's a matter of timing (or you can just spam it)
melee range is really distant. i can hit them at what seems like 10m away because movement of them forward and me forward
it always gets bad when i can see them up close. Voice of command helps a LOT
Watch Breaks your Nose and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
God I find Serrated proccing on punch to be the funniest shit ever
It's a very good tool against bigger enemies. When it comes to Thrust you can already one shot crushers with the special attack even without it so it's more of a anti-boss/monster blessings at least for me. Also with Mk IV and it's horizontal heavy spam Thrust helps a lot with it's otherwise average horde clear 🤔
chainaxe kills everything on one hit it's awesome
heavy chainaxe is a horizontal swing?
pretty sure i still like power sword for handling hordes so far
i mean heavy attack
for Mk IV, Mk XII is vertical
mk iv is more diagonal than horizontal imo
i had a mk iv chainaxe
heresy i noticed that the wounds were reduced from normal by 2
a lot of players in it running around with 2 wounds only
a lot of players looking to power level. level 3 in heresy type stuff
True. It's not a weakspot hit machine but you can hit multiple targets in front of you with it unlike with Mk XII's vertical heavies
Cries in being left handed with a right handed mouse
I got Mercy Killer on my knife, so I took Serrated Blade instead of Agile Engagement. Really like that talent though. Should I drop Surprise Attack for it?
That is typically optimal
You only want more wounds if you go martyrdom zealot (or are an ogryn since you get an extra wound as standard)
just clarifying i meant they had 2 wounds total, not running 2 wounds on curios
Yeah, that's what I'm saying
Anyone got suggestions on how to make a Lucius MK2 work?
The higher the difficulty you go, the less you can afford to be going down multiple times per med station anyway
Also fewer wounds = bigger heals from med stimms
I’ll give it a try boost toughness and health instead
It's basically an infantry las but better at armor pen. Surgical and then typically weight of fire. The stabby bayonets are actually pretty good melee weapons. You want +unarmored perk on it for dreg shooter one taps.
2 health 1 toughness is the usual I think
3 toughness is also funnny
I like 3 toughness on my shroudfield zealot
I see 3 toughness more tbh
thh is solid tbh
Veteran gets Iron Will synergy from it
Ogryn gets the typical sick ogryn toughness synergy
if you get like 150 toughness with decent TDR skills you definitely have more leeway
what does he get
All of the heavy attack toughness regen talents
all of the toughness damage reduction
like the more tdr you have, the more toughness does for you and the more you want toughness
does that actually buff the toughness regen from heavys
Yes.
All of those regen things scale with the toughness bar
Like I can see Psyker wanting a health curio
specifically to resist poxburster death
but you can probably do with a corruption resistance curio or two for it
apart from that I think toughness is just flat out better right now
ever since the fire nerf
There's not that many things that zero your toughness these days, that can't be reliably avoided
except for the funny poxburster double tap to death
Moments like these are times I wish I had VoC lmao
Triple Poxbursters maybe even more if its Maelstrom
wouund curio kek
Late night darktide makes me so depressed at times man
I joined to getting pounced by a hound
I died to said hound
High Damage, Stopping Power and Charge Rate if you can help it. Stability and Mobility are dump stats. If you use Executioner's Stance with the Relentless node for 5 sec refresh on highlight target kill + Focus Fire with Redirect Fire node you can skip both Maniac and Unarmoured perks on a Helbore Mk II because you will hit both 1HKO breakpoints. Grabbing that ability and keystone frees you up to grab Carapace instead which drops your total number of shots per Crusher down from 5-7 shots to 2-4 shots depending on how many damage talents you stack with it like Marksman, For the Emperor, Close Quarters Kill Zone, Longshot, etc. If you prefer Voice of Command or Infiltrate pick up Unarmoured and Maniac to get both 1HKOs
Just don't play darktide 
If getting a Mk II Helbore with good stats and the right perks/blessings is tricky then grab the Mk I Helbore instead. The Mk I Helbore has an easier time hitting breakpoints for a slower fire rate
Personally I love the Mk II Helbore because if you get a high charge rate stat and pair it with Weight of Fire you get some very speedy charged shots
TTK on multiple Crushers is insane when you can 2 tap heads and charge rate is maxed out with 5 stack Weight of Fire
Also to explain
Maniac is needed for 1HKO on Flamers
Note that glass cannon exe builds are generally unpopular for a reason
Unarmoured is needed for 1HKO on Dreg Gunners
You gotta stop calling anything not using Voice of Command glass cannon because you're beginning to look sillier than me when you do it. You can absolutely afford Exe Stance and Focus Target while still getting Close Quarters Drill, Iron Will and Confirmed Kill. That isn't glass cannon at all and you still have points for nade regen too
You get solid toughness damage reduction, solid toughness regen and solid damage
You only miss out on gold toughness/aoe stagger
If that single ability is what defines a Vet being normal vs being glass cannon idk what to tell you but like
Dodge more
And if you get Focus Target with Target Down you get even more toughness restore too
And stam
Squadwide as a very strong support tool
Not everyone will use Exe Stance. Some will favour VoC. Using Exe Stance on its own isn't glass cannon
That's not the clown shoe special, what've you done with the real sneaky
they snuck away
I'm the evil twin from Krieg
ahhh oh no please don't frag your commissar when poxwalkers start rushing you aaaaah
LMFAO
sorry if I am rude I got off work stressed and have the munchies for strawberries
But yes, you don't have to do glass cannon exe. But regular exe is also unpopular for a reason, the reason being that it's much less gud than overshout.
Which is a constant stupidity buffer for you and your team.
It's hard to overstate how useful it is to have in pubs for this reason.
If they're nothing without Voice of Command, they shouldn't have it
I'm going to run an empty talent tree with my Mk II Helbore that has 0% damage for you
the hb2 is a gud weapon
Use the clown special
But your shoes are filled with lead
Is one with 0% damage a good weapon
What about with Infernus too
Probably better baseline than a recon 
PSH no
Now I have to check
are you gonna make another bet
No because I still owe him from the last one 
It's true
Gotcha, will see later
I can make three separate talent trees for you to try out if you'd like. One with Executioner's Stance, one with Voice of Command and one with Infiltrate
You can pick which ever one you like most
make one with fury of the faithful 
Probably skip on infiltrate
That's fair
I'll make some talent trees and share them in a sec
I'm chopping up some strawberries into more bite sized chunks to snack on
It only takes 2 to kill a psyker though lmao
killed everyone
that's hilarious 
machina collateral sound
Unironically being told by the game to uninstall right now lmao
Let's see, 0% damage hb2 gets 742 maniac bodyshot dps with 1 crit
Let me consult my archives
On a seperate note, this shit fucking murders everything
This is better dps than all recons on maniacs at gray/talentless
I would like the record to show that I have made no bets this time
But requires you to sit at the appropriate range because inverse falloff
Just bayonet when they're close
The 0% damage barely has any change with the bayonet
This does so much damage
Like 2800 dps
On mutie heads
1400 on bodyshots
Good lord
Ok the helbore wins
Now imagine if you used a Mk II Helbore with 80% damage, 80% stopping power, 80% charge rate, Surgical IV, Weight of Fire IV
We're comparing a 0% damage helbore 2 to peak recon performance on a baseline
I'm discovering the bayonet
does a lot of damage
The bayonet is
mk 2 recon stay winning 
pretty fucking funny
Put on the Krieg mask
AFFIX BAYONETS
You karkers can, I'll just slam the butt of my stock into their head untill they die
Also is there really a good use for the MKIII's Bayonet?
Seeing its a Slash instead of a quick stab
It has cleave but only a tiny bit iirc
it's to make you want to die and join nurgle
Na I'm gonna probably keep playing stealth zealot
Interesting
Are you gonna put the funny agile engagement on the helbore
of course
Hell yeah
Make a funny melee damage build with Marksman, For the Emperor, Close Quarters Kill Zone, etc. and use your choice of ability idc which. Spawn any boss you want in the Psykanium and then bayonet them to death to see how fast you can kill them
Something in me says
use rending strikes
The 0 damage hb2 has lower flak damage than perfect recons though
Which is not very surprising
recon stay winning 
Pretty sure other people have done this already, bosses can die quite fast.
I'd made a macro to spam my special as fast as possible
I know but this test isn't for me. I want you to feel how good the bayonet feels
FT and Lacerate 😭
DECEPTION

You have to catch me first and I am a master at break dancing through lasgun fire
I diagnose you with die
I diagnose you with fly
Too late, I already knew
also wow I was disappointed in this last week's cosmetic rotation
nothing to buy except the Ogryn weapon skin for the twinstubber (still a good skin though)
want something nice to wear that I don't own yet
become naked 
only if I can keep the clown shoes on
🤔
clown shoes are like the commissar cap
they always stay on
hey that kind of sounds like a boltpi
Boltpee
duo'd a hunting ground with smoke vet, smoke so good to hide from gunfire and dogs while we carry the 5 cargo
God this HHA build is disgusting
Actually in not too sure, smoke seems to work for flamers but maybe it's because they are "ranged"
Watch Eat Gun Stock Heretic and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
The only thing of note I got that match
In my experience smoke affects dogs so they won't pounce over long distances, they need come very close and they seem to take more time to "aim" so to speak. Same with trappers in smoke, they basically run next to you before firing the net. At least this was the case few months ago 🤔 haven't played with smoke recently
Pox hound packs if you stand in the smoke before they arrive will "attempt" trying to run towards you but wont enter the smoke
its like a sea bear safety circle lmao
oh, even better 😄
Trappers have to barrel stuff to get you
Mutants, literally do not care
they will charge you and grab you
BoN will only start vomitting once they're in your face in smoke
anything with a gun gives up, Shotgunners act similar to Poxhound hordes and just kinda orbit the smoke but refuse to enter
Yea, gotta love their idgaf attitude towards pretty much everything xD
Mutants are too stupid to care.
Been sometimes on the receiving end even while using infiltrate
is this too bricked to save
Yea it seems to affect trappers a little too
i'd change limbsplitter to headtaker or decimator and crit damage to flak 🤔
i feel like they won't fire the net from outside the smoke
they need to enter which gives more time to react
mk2 is like a more particular rashad
You need a particular amount of damage + brutal to reach bruiser one taps with the heavies for what could be considered good clear
You may or may not be able to reach both bruisers with melee juice + headtaker and brutal
If you can't hit the bruiser one taps then I just wouldn't use it
surely the crafting rework will let me reallocate modifier stats
and the dog ass 380s sitting in my inventories will not go to complete waste
Damage as in overall damage, not necessarily the stat
you can possibly still hit it with tree juice but the 2 and 7 taxes are very reliant on brutal for clear
It's pretty much about personal preference but I'd change maniac -> carapace to dispatch crushers faster 🤔 depending on the build most likely you'll 1-2 shot ragers anyway
Or go full anti-boss meme machine on it
since oyu have trickshooter already
slap unyielding on that motherfucker
valid option B ☝️
i have both carapace and unyilding on my agri revolver 😁
the things that gun does with full MF stacks+ rending + elite + ogryn/monster damage....❤️
This week's emoji is so cool and good im super excited for the update!!!!!!
happy day, building fire at work and i get to go home early
Does Execution Stance count for Volley Fire penances?
Execution Stance is upgraded version of it
i believe so
All "enhanced version" tagged skills count for the original skill. Big box of hurt for ogryn (the box that breaks into a cluster bomb) counts for both of the penances involving the stock box, for example.
Tried to kill a Beast of Nurgle with my gun
Got to yellow Ammo
Use melee instead?
shoot the back pimple
Beasts aren't that big of an issue unless you're dealing with something else that's problematic, then they become about 10x harder to deal with.
Mainly, they're a positioning issue.
Don't bother shooting at it unless you've got sight on the pimple on its back.
yeah, the biggest issues with monstrosities is that they make everything else a lot more dangerous through their presense and ability to CC the team.
having a chaos spawn turn up at the same time as a pox hound pack is a good example
or a plague ogryn storm in while you're battling a big rager wave
just hate all of them. Bad timing they came really does give a challenge.or stuck on one-way.
Im still looking for dumdum bless for my ciag
wdyt about hellbore?
I would switch sustained fire with weight of fire and change ranged crit damage to carapace, but that's just me.
Statswise, very solid.
Sorry to jump in, I downloaded darktide yesterday and I was grinding it, I ended up kinda like the helbore lasgun, but I don’t know how to build around it
Surgical and the right build lets you wreck most human sized enemies
The MK3 does anyway
You want to have an anti-carapace weapon for your melee usually if you take the helbore. I like the shovel 7, and you can never go wrong with a power sword (preferably the 6)
are u under lv30
Yes
The marks 1 and 2 have a killer bayonet
The mark 3 has a more awkward one, but it deals the most damage
I like the 2 (the lightest variant)
ok, get to lv30 first
sub-lv30 is basically try whatever u like
u want to get to lv30 so u get higher rated gear that actually matter for built crafting
For the most part yeah
Although if you wanna try a combat axe, get one with brutal momentum on it
Do I have to sell the weapon I don’t use or I just leave it there
Apart from that don't sweat it
mk3 hits carapace
sell / earn blessing
You can hang onto it, sell it, or hand it to Hadron to learn the blessing
1 and 2 don't hit into cara well
Yeah, the 3 is kind of a different weapon class in itself
Tbh the 2 shoots Carapace OK even. Not great , but ok
elephant gun
But the bayonet is shit vs carapace
I felt like playing alone, I can’t do much with the helbore
The worst part about the helbore is the weapon swap speed
either the ogryn tank it all or for the most of the time i keep using melee
Ogryn should stand on a side
They will frustrate you on veteran every time lmao (also on gunker)
Some weapons can cleave through a friendly player better though
Like the plasma, the agripinaa autoguns (infantry and braced), bolters and revolvers (at least the Zarona, not sure about the Agripinaa)
Agripinaa revolver can’t cleave
Still throws me
Agripinaa is the cleavey manufactorum
And yet for their revolver they decide to use hollow points
this game is just in dire need of weapons, or at the minimum a rebalance, they need to buff and lot of things
tons of weapons arent used by a large percentage of the player base because they're just so much worse than something else or another version
most of the playerbase is pretty mediocre at the game and the vast majority of players trend towards the path of least resistance
doesnt really matter how you balance the game, something will always do more with less effort and immediately takes over as the new meta
psword is the most used weapon in the game and its not actually the best weapon and is terrible in an actual hard place
I wouldn't say terrible but yeah, the mobility and charge up time is awkward.
It's a solid A in every category but an S in nothing
Chainsword 4 is so much better vs everything besides Crushers, but it's a piece of shit against Crushers
meanwhile like 95% of the weapon roster is damnation viable, 100% is viable below that, yet people continue to gravitate between the same four options
Huge L announcement
South Hemispherian here, when is after summer lol
after winter
so true!
like which weapons. there's a mech for every weapon loadout, usually multiple chassis that can support a loadout
weapon variety is fairly decent and the difference in performance between a lot of weapons is just overstated
the classes that i would say even needs more weapons would just be psyker and ogryn
you will heavy and you will like it
yep. some weapons in wh40k wouldn't be useable by IG so there's that
ogryn being psychologically locked out of half their movesets is such a vibe
it's pretty faithful to the game's universe weapons
headhunter autos could use a buff, make them actually worth using
they're pretty good though
an issue is theres things like the columnus that are extremely good, so theres usually not much reason to go for other choices idk
the only one that i would consider eh is just the mk9 because of the recoil + stagger working against you
its personal choice but i can say a lot of people are picking whatever weapons because they're however much better
yes i do not deny that they're better and that makes people pick them more
lot of people also play different things for fun
but the existence of better weapons =/= headhunters are not worth using or are bad
recon lasgun is actually better than columnus infantry autogun in my opinion, higher dmg faster fire rate, but it's not popular
recon lasguns do not beat the infantry autoguns in DPS by any measure
ill simp for recons all day but that is a take
lasguns couldnt hurt for a bit of improvement too
i also disagree with buffs in general since we're in a state of high power player level
pistols are alright
so we should be going for nerfs more often than not than buffs currently
i like lasguns but they require a lot more button presses to operate
The accatrans are begging for help from the dumpster
hellbore is like a mini plasma gun without the punch
No way in the next update. They would tell us about them, they know vets have been begging for it since day 1
i couldn't get it to work well
I like Hellbore 2 tbh, apart from atrocious sights. Though it fits more with exec stance rather than shout
exe stance just doesn't seem to make any sense to me when you have hordes of melee
maybe a squad with exe stance
individually voice healing and stagger are a lot more useful to me
Thats fair. I like it for ability to deal with both shooters and gunners and crushers
well if you can run exe with random quickplays kudos
quickplay is too run and gun on higher difficulty levels with randoms
Oh you just force people to be your meatshields and hang out in the back:D Well unless its 2 or 3 ogryns, then its hardXD
i hit 26 and now i'm running 4-heresy missions and there's a lot of people just looking to tag along
even if i'm the one dying a lot, lvl 15 in heresy for example they just hang around
Ah, there experience can be different I admit. Im way too used to playing in Auric so yeah maybe shout is better
well the game is fun even with wipes
auric has a lot of specialists i take it
that could be useful since ammo is issue
Well, like 5 or 6 every 15 seconds maybe
exe stance tree has +25% ammo talent
Though it does depend on who much the ai director hates you on that day
well gimme a squad with voice, a psker and the other two can experiment
psykers do great crowd control
Well if they take smite that is:D
idk enough about pskers but generally they seem to handle the hordes well
Is that not how you play?!?! Lol
Not really. I usually play with shout since exec is a bit too glass cannon for my tastes
i'd run exe with lasgun if i had full squad of veterans, +1 voice for heal
Facts I’m the same way. Anything above heresy on exe is punishing
You can play with it and some weapons benefit a lot from it but you cant be frontliner with it. So its more of an option when youre playing with 3 friends and not randoms
That’s what I live for man..
wonder how it would work with 4 infiltrators
all stealth
could u just run to the end?
I think all missions have a mid event so not really
horde clearing event yep
Sycorax mid event is a rush though
True. End event is still scanning a lot though
Well let’s hope this update at least buffs some weapons other than no itemization update
im gonna be 100% real if the delay doesnt result in a good rework to the crafting im probably done
anyone wants to try a speedrun ? need a team with high velocity builds
man im rediscovering the basic non-fold shovel
they buffed swing speed at some point and i totally forgot
if you go all in on weapon speed with weapon specialist it gets pretty ridiculous lol
Which one is the non fold shovel?
Emperor bless you
That’s what I’m gonna spend millions on dockets and materials trying to roll later 😑
you have to hit the mutant in their head to stagger them tho, mind you
you can also get decimater over hammerblow
skullcrusher looks good on paper but the shovel doesn't have enough stagger to benefit from it
it works with vvoice of command though, so you can throw something on the ground with your shout and then hit it with your skullcrusher shovel and it will take 40% extra damage

there is a pretty expensive way to farm t4 blessings: get the wep to blue, change the blessing to anything t4, then get it to gold

i bid farewell to every vet starting their powercycler 4 journey
anecdotal evidence: did this for knife and got alot of t4 blessings pretty quickly
its not the best option though
yeah, it's really expensive
dont take t4 blessing, put a t1 blessing on
its cheaper
and also blocks its own t4 variant just the same
just...dont take power cycler 1 obviously, as it will prevent 4 from coming up
just bonk
I really struggle with the people I get matched with in auric heresy and auric maelstrom games 😭
Auric damnantion quickplay is usually completely fine though
auric T4 is how people see if they're ready, that's why
Auric Maelstrom is people trying to get a penance
Power cycler is only 3 & 4
just tested in a histg map, feel pretty weird but I guess it's just the first time 😂
can't decide what I want for the last fixing, 25% carapace or surgical 4
currently need 2 charged head shot for a reaper
I got mine before I was even level 30. Was farming pswords for good stats and I don't throw them away if they've got bad ones, just upgrade to blue and throw it at Hadron.
Take the L on having to shoot a reaper twice and get carapace damage.
is it possbile to do one shot reaper 😄
Honestly? I doubt it.
And surgical 4 isn't going to magically increase your damage.
It just means your guaranteed crit builds like .10 seconds faster.
I would just take carapace damage to help chew through crushers and maulers.
If you don't see any impact with that you could try taking unyielding damage instead to see if you can 1shot a reaper.
sounds reasonable 
also just noticed the item rework is postponed...
3 more months of saving plasteel I guess 
postponed isnt the word i would necessarily use, it was a loose possibility the item rework came with SotMG
still, kinda sad it's not ready yet. spacemarine 2 is so close, and me & the bois are all waiting for it 😢
I mean.. 3 months
First try PS6, got PC4 and Sunder
I got it after I reached level 30 on vet, shortly after the beta, as an emperor's drop
lmao
Now the rashad godroll is another thing
Crit headshot yes
fully charged lasgun shot? Sure.
god I love mag dumping into hordes
you have bullets and those enemies looked ready to have them
i dont blame u one bit battle brother 
Oh base rating
If you're farming t4s, base rating over 365 for best results
Some people also make 2 vets since there's 5 operative slots to double dip into melk rolls, you only need to get the 2nd one to 30 and just check now and then on shop refreshes
Best milage on ogryn since they have their own pool but it helps long-term for humans with all the weapon overlap
also covering fire goes kinda hard
unsung hero in my eyes there
if it worked for self (even at reduced value) it'd be at least decent
true
even if it was like 7% toughness per kill that’s good against hordes and worth the risk of getting within such a close distance
For the most part it’s just not worth actively using ammo on crowds in this game
fuck that, I'm shootin
yaaaaaay itemization postponed
what else do we get, 2 weapons and another 2 weapons later?
i hope not
da map
I like it with my Helbore Mk II through Surgical, Deadshot, Shocktrooper and the cleave on shots because with the firing speed from high charge rate and Weight of Fire you can put down a horde at range for surprisingly little ammo spent (sometimes none at all) if you catch them on the advance down a hall or chokepoint while spamming shots
Depending on the environment it can be fun to thin out a horde down to a few for quick and easy clean up via bayonet or sometimes even manage to wipe out the small crowd before it comes close to the squad
4 new weapon types, 1 new map, balance changes, fixes, etc
That’s my guess
my question is
will they even release the 4 new weapons proper
cause like its 4 days
and we still havent heard shit
no devlog, no actual teaser, nothing
i know fatshark is bad at communicating but this seems bad
what do you mean
the teasers are on twitter so if you don't use that I understand
but they have been doing some teasing about the new stuff there
damn it was todayt
alright i eat my words then
the funny thing is they were also teasing the new level through obscure emotes LOL
ice cube emoji
and
elevator emoji
hell yea
Yea
Ogryn gets 3 variants in a new weapon type
That’s nice
i gave up hope for that one
from one sitting, ogryns eating nice
i wonder if that'll happen to the other ones
I feel like they were looking at class metrics and noticed Ogryns are the least played class so maybe this is a way of trying to get more players to try them
I like the pickaxe. It might work better than "beating someone with the axel of a truck"
Veteran is probably the most played class by far and it's not even close
Then Zealot
Then Psyker
Last Ogryn
this is also the order I'll probably have 60/60 penances in
I tried to go 100% completionist on all penances but
I have the hard ones done years ago; it's just the inevitable ones you get by playing
It’s not worth
I ended up missing 3 Zealot penances all linked to just finishing a private match in under 20 minutes
if I did that I'd have 100% completed the Zealot penances
oh and like
100 matches on Ogryn
like, the final title and class pose I think I'd be satisfied, but at that point the only thing left are auric+/maelstroms
I have 59/60 Ogryn penances
but I have maxed out Vet and Psyker
and I've done literally every single other Ogryn and Zealot
I did it because I thought it would be the most fun way to get to 4500 penances tbh
that and skulls/puzzles
the completing missions based on difficulty ones were the easiest
just play the game and get them
50 lights out, 75 grims, 2500 yellow barrel kills
Nah
I also had the majority of pre-update achievements completed
I got the <20 one in a public game, where it was.. 90% rather than 75%? It took a few tries; a couple were 1-2 minutes over. Doing the plague tree one was it and one dude was just not runnin' to get to that jet and it ran over.
Vet was 100% complete before Path of Redemption
I think pre-Path of Redemption it was possible to do in a public game?
But now it's marked as private games only
yeah; they were all public
Like, in December, a lot of people were cheesing that <1 wound penance by getting one wound, waiting five minutes, and then the team wiping
because the game would count even a wipe as a "completion" and it triggered the penance.
I'm still working on the first two but I'm not really interested in the last one unless they update it to give a title or frame at least
I just don't see any lights out matches latelt outside of an auric; I am at 1000 barrel kills
got all scripts/scripts done much earlier this month
4500 penance points it’s just not worth going for more penances
I got all scrips because it has such a cool frame
I’ve been using skull hoarder with orthus champion insignia
Still never finished rogue trader
The chest piece of that rogue trader piece is too sunken in, can't use it
My reject looks like he's missing his lungs
yeah they got sucked out
there's no need for lungs when you've got drip
made alveoli ravioli
How can I admire my own drip if I don't got lungs to brag about it?!
alrighty, anybody up for a game?
I wish the Moebian 6th armor had a helmet & mask combo
I sense Slaaneshi heresy
hood n mask was all we got yes?
Well we got mask without helmet, and helmet without mask

didnt they give out mobeian 6th mask and a hood shit
pretty popular shit
i mean it looks cool
Yes there’re 2 Moebian 6th headpieces
For veteran it’s helmet without mask (face exposed) and mask without helmet (weird hood, no helmet)
Glad they made Moebian 6th cosmetics blue and white
I can imagine shooting my own teammates if they were similar to enemies
They rly need to drop the helmet + mask headpiece cosmetics
i forget 21st and 6th both have same color schemes
well 6th having white also
wouldve liked black green combo too
I guess Moebians really like color Blue
Well 21st has blue clothing with black armor and 6th got Blue armor and white clothing
hm...delayed updates.... where have i seen this before (sharttide part 928)
well that was.....something
"oh man I’ll be on my last wound I sure hope something doesn’t immediately kill me after I get revived"
tox flamer:
The poxburster:
Rolled this.
Decimator already fixed, so any shovel pretty suck at this point 😦
Do you guys think we're getting bolt pistol variants too
It's joever.
what was it before?
2nd attack, you can get more than 1 stack depend on how many enemies you hit, now it count only 1 and lose it if you miss
Kinda expected
Though now I'm interested in what their idea of itemization is
Are we gonna get gun mods 
it can't just be them giving us a third perk/blessing to modify at this point
it has to be something more complex
Imagine if it's just that - locks removed and no further changes.
so high stack headtaker
tbh if deci was high stack headtaker but if you miss it goes back to 0 it would've been nice
this sounds like it ciuld potentially break the game tbh
wdym we can currently only change two traits on a weapon so changing up to three traits instead would only mean less bricked weapons
you'd only need 1 of your preferred perks/blessings then you could change the other 3
but that's too simple to be what they're delaying things over
oh nvm
i thought you mean another perk/blessing slot kek
yeah tbh three changable slots should solve most of the issues for good
i always take overwatch + (low profile / hunter's resolve)
Low Profile almost always unless I'm doing a funny Chainaxe meme with Surprise Attack instead
That actually is how it works rn
Besides the 1 stack per atk
Instead of 1 stack per enemy hit
So it’s just bad
well thats the important bit

if it was like headtaker there it'd could've been great
currently its like shred/wrath but damage and higher stacks
per enemy hit would make it quite viable
Drop all stacks on miss is just bad
At least make it like
Drop 2 stacks instead of all stacks or smth if they have to keep the drop stacks part
wrath, shred,overwhelming fire
there are lots of "if you miss it get reseted"
every single one of them doesnt habe 10 stacks though which feels like its the problme
None of these are fun to play with
if it was more like headtaker where enemy hit was in criteria you could get away with 10 stacks
you go big or lose big time
initialize with PA to cleave like 3 enemies getting 15% boost and then start from there, it could've worked
but for now headtaker has it so
though more conditional blessings is better than the basically-always-active blessings that we have
and the choice between multiple blessings means that you can just not take it at all
it should be like that deci is just
fucked rn
takes to long to proc, the miss means you're devastated
if it had headtaker proc mechanism(each hit increases it) shovel would get it in like 3 swings
i think 10stack talents are interesting(and only deci is one rn) but it just takes way too long
like if it had no 2 second limit even then people would consider about it
I have a decimator shovel
Mostly because I haven’t bothered to get one with uncanny
I should get around to that
prob just making the timer longer on them in exchange
You can feel decimator on longer engagements though
You go from knocking stuff around to killing
But yeah loosing all your stacks on a single whiff is mean
Does the agripinaa revolver utilize crit strings?
Crit strings?
no
Only automatics and burst fires have that
Is there a graph or some medium showing the spread/damage per pellet for shotties
Thank you, I've used the Fullauto mod for so long it all blurs together.
Fun fact: Deci used to be able to multi proc on cleaved targets
Fatshork changed it and make it lame
Tbf it was kinda broken 😅
