yes
and pretty strict damage
im just saying
if you intend to boost your horde dmg
skullcrusher only does something for mk3 light spamming
question is is it better than deci kek
deci is still quite popular for folding shovels
extremely easy to drop it
yeah
and you can still hit the 1tap with thrust/sc im pretty sure
i dont think its worth though
but SC also boosts fold dmg
if it didnt have a 2 second limit and stayed infinite it might be the more hated blessings probably
so its the same as probably trying to hit a 0 stack uncanny 1tap
which is possible
you guys know any good alternatives to the devil’s claw mk IV for horde clear?
No
It’s exclusively thrust + uncanny
Everything else are inferior
cool, gonna run hammerblow skullcrusher
I guess a general use weapon with good horde clear that doesn’t feel like it falls off instantly against carapace

rashad
:^)
U do u
i need to make a better shovel
the.. combat axe?
I love cutting hordes like butter and then still having a 3-4hit crusher BP
needs to be godrolled though
high rolls on every statline, 51+ mobility, unarmored perk + carapace/flak, headtaker+BM
Unarmored + carapace is best
A god roll being 80 on all damage stats
yeah i agree cara is best
but i would still use a flak one
if thats what i rolled
You can make do with like minimum 70 on all damage stats, but you gotta then support it with a bunch of talents
i guess 2nd perk can be anything rly
unyielding works too
Pretty alright
looks great
Good luck

sire milk will apparently become a mission giver
just pray it doesnt get bricked
giga bricked ho ly
rip
GG it’s over
gigabrick
come on man I can't have SHIT in this house
rest in pipperonis
Shoulda only rolled to purple
dont feel bad
😭

Plush ragequit the game for a month trying to roll rashad
anyone run thunderous on non-ogryn?
alr fuck this I'm switching to my shovel
what do you usually use on basher then?
on basher?
Thrust/skullcrusher + haymaker
i use skullcrusher and thunderous on mk3
why haymaker though?
just questioning
i like the funny onwshots it gives sometimes
It’s funny
If I’m playing ogryn in the first place I already gave up on logical decision making
cool, running thundy then
And thunderous just isn’t that good
its worse than any rending but you use what you get
No it’s just that it doesn’t help ogryn much
drawing rn
so im alr
thanks for offering though
The only case it rly helps is if u melee with thunderous then use stubber vs carapace or smth
But like
thunderous + bloodletter chainaxe :^)
unless there is a good way to counter crusher with basher, i know ogryn weapons have innate high carapace pen and dont need it that much i just wanna know whats the other option than funny haymaker
That’s so much effort compared to just meleeing
i have one but perk is bricked
Damn ok
unarmored carapace
what you recommend on gauntlet then?
i use thunderous cause funny bleeding for the most part
Grenadier gauntlet?
Pinpoint + gloryhunter
It’s a special sniping gun, might as well
huh
Shattering doesn’t do that much for it
we recommend pinpoint + shattering from what i remember
The thing is, shattering really only exists for crushers
Is chainsword 13 now better than 4 after changes?
No
i dont like c13's heavy so no
idk
I feel like it was more of a preference before
But no idea how it is after the changes
Well no, before it was just 4 being better 90%+ the time
Now it’s more like 4 is better 60~70% the time
is penetraton needed
Very important
Very needed
is this good
It’s fine
shoul.d i keep going?
Less fine
yes
nice dclaw
not great
hope you roll god on the last two
overwhelm ain the worst cause saul has great blessings
but it aint optimal
i wonder if we'll get more parry blessings
chain weapons getting s parry where if you parry a attack it deals decent damage to attacker might be cool
it also might be annoying but hey thats why its a blessing
I'd like a "parry" blessing for force swords on psyker.
parry auto-initialting the force charge would be cool
I wouldn't say that, but a free push attack when you timed block that does increased stagger would be nice.
Especially if it could knock down heavy hitters like ragers, maulers, and crushers.
damn I forgot how much I hated the pox gas mission modifier
the Mushroom Fart mission
someone was deadass running that on a saul now that i remember it
so whats this chart from
exactly
10 brusiers? 100 poxwalkers?
50 groaner 50 pox iirc
oh yeah 50 50
for crusher the number represents a very ideal situation of every mob grouped together in a very tight spot
not really a horde except if you are door spawning
I tried recon 2 with exe and MF, to me it doesn't work very well unfortunately. I'm doing better with krak, shout and no keystone. Yes, shout is boring but exe is so frustrating in its current state because there will always be that little shit to stab you in the back. Onslaught might not be the best with recon 2 but it seems to perform as good on carapace when I'm out of krak than all those range bonuses + chink and rending strikes. My builds almost all end up the same but there's a massive difference when I can't rely that much on my team in terms of survivability 🤔
I have been summoned. For the record, that's an old 100pox, not a 50/50. Was more of a first pass of a more thorough testing page. If I ever get around to it I can make an up-to-date version sporting a proper 50/50 test + bruiser damage + mixed horde clear.
Let me guess, sneaky told you to do that
idk how lacerate was tested but it shouldnt be high up regardless
so guess nothings wrong with it
Overshout is overwhelmingly preferred for good reason
good?
If you you're taking onslaught you don't really need MF and the rending node for it
I decided to give a try to the builds I saw here earlier. There was a conversation about recon builds
Sneaky is the only person I know on here who would recommend that setup. She's also a masochist.
is that 13g chainsword good?
Looks good, it'll be fine
13g isn't quite as high potential as the 4 but functions very well as a chaffe destroyer
thats all i need it to do
i have a dumdum ciagv that shreds everything
just need something to reliably insta shred chaff
I mean, if you play with friends that can watch your back, why not 🤔
rip
If you have a full party you regularly play with and know you can get away with it, then it can be fine. But the benefits of overshout in both organized and pub lobbies is massive.
anyone use bloodletter
Whereas exe is "you kill things a bit better when you're left alone"
haymaker was probably making the difference there 
lacerate mercy is 80 seconds kill lmao
100% agree. I will stick to my previous build. I like exe with the good old plasma gun because... Well, plasma gun 
it would have been higher with flesh tearer 🤓
lacerate is one of those forget the guys you were just knifing and go knife other guys but its not the fastest i guess
no im saying
the actual ideal setup for lacerate light spam is the slowest by a significant margin
so lacerate isnt rly doing anything for h1 h2 on mk6
Fresh from my auric maelstrom lobby
yes
not even a mobility stick
because a lot of blessings werent tested
bc they are useless on poxwalkers
wtf would uncanny do
idk
just saying that the chart is clearly testing only blessings that have a meaningful effect on poxwalkers
otherwise itw ouldnt be precog + nothing
for some of the tests
fair point
that and its not a comprehensive list either
i went and tested some gaps in the data when i was helping path write the guide
yeah infested has 0.5x adm for bleed which does get countered by uncanny.
like savage sweep + nothing and rampage + nothingn for chainswords
"nothing" being bloodletter
still flest tearer better if you can get more crits(plentiful on zealot) but yknow
stunn dunno why unarmored bleed less than flak
its a very fatshark balancy shit if i ever saw one
obv
when you jam the knife inot flak armor
the flak little metal bits get inside your organs
and make you bleed even more
fair point
@tall torrent I think you were right about longshot carrying my plasma
Without it I can't oneshot dreg gunners
Otherwise I can oneshot everything without longshot
except ogryns ofc
What mod lets you set your weapon ui like that?
2d inventory
I found something that may help with building a Plasma for the breakpoints Numbers Cat mentioned (idk if it was already said I am off and on because of work)
I mean
That's going for most optimal one
My plasma does it's job well while being unoptimal
plus I got tags just in case
he uses tag damage up for 10 second thing to offset not being oneshot dreg gunnees p sure
yea I checked plasma breakpoints pretty extensively, it's a fairly restrictive weapon
4 wounds psykers without venting shriek?
2wounders running assail with telekine
😮
and to make it even worse it was only auric sniper gauntlet
sniper gauntlet >telekines
what
how
my god
holy shit
They died a lot, I joined in late, but I still think it bugged out
Because I have no idea how this is possible
that's like 1 entire sedition worth of players
I joined in more than halfway through the map and even still despite how many times they died after I'd joined this feels excessive LMFAO
is that a death every 20 seconds
yes
I feel like im being lied too
is it even possible?
there's no way unless it was the full team dying back to back
I was there and it feels beyond belief
I screenshotted it just because it is funny bugged or not bugged
They died a LOT
I think this is entirely possible, at places where respawns are in the same area as enemy spawns
I can't possibly imagine them dying this often
could be people that die and leave
then a bot respawns, but then the bot is filled by a player, who is likely lagging on entry because of how this games works
That's possible but like wow that means matchmaking was just feeding people into a meat grinder for who knows how long before I joined LMFAO
literally happened to me today and last weekend
join, everyone but me is dead or downed, some people filter through and eventually after 3 minutes we have a full competent squad
competent being an udnerstatement it was me on psyker, with another good psyker, and 2 recon vets who aimed like they were using controllers
Morrow and Wolfer were playing a game of "will it blend?" shoving rejects into Nurgle's Atoman Blender until a clown jammed the gears
lore accurate darktide
Fellas
How tf do you make that stupid doom shotty work
What does it need
Why can't it kill fucking anything on my Weapon Specialist Vet
have you tried manstopper
I don't have the blessing
use it in <10 meters range
Because for some dumbass reason that shotgun has its own blessing pool
I have Scattershot + Full Bore along with flakiak
Double Barrel Shotgun wants Manstopper/Both Barrels, Infested (killing Poxwalkers at any distance with minimum pellet count) and use it with Weapon Specialist for the quick reload on swap from Always Prepared under the WS keystone. Always shoot things at or near melee range. 0m to 8m is the ideal range to shoot. If you want a long range weapon the Double Barrel Shotgun isn't going to work out
Full Bore is bad because it is never going to give you value unless you are making an enemy swallow the barrel before you fire
The pellets go wide
feel free to skip infested if you're using agile engagement
if you want a long range weapon with DB shotgun the combat blades count if you're fast enough
Thanks
Yeah probably will
God now I need to farm another one
poxwalker what
hmmmm
As funny as that sounds, it allows it to become an effectively anti-horde tool on top of already being powerful vs elites/specials but the bit about infested or Agile Engagement is able to kill poxwalkers at any range with min pellet count to my understanding
It can one shot Maulers in close range so it doesn't need much more power there
on vet with ranged power or can be done on zealot?
you can also use executioner's stance but 
trollo:
I am a clown and even I wouldn't do this but now I want to
it's actually kinda fun
stop being a clown and take off iron will
Max out ranged damage throughout the talent tree, juice it to the brink then pop Exe Stance and feed a Plogryn the end of the shotgun
I am a clown but I have standards. I know it seems like I don't but I promise you they exist. They're just very low
why is mine lower than yours then
Because I might be a clown but I don't live on rock bottom
But on the flip side
smh
I am doing this with the Recon Mk VId when I get home
I kinda want to drop Shock Trooper for Camo to actually get Marksman's Focus stacks
Then I can use a Recon with Dum Dum + Sustained Fire or something
Dum Dum Infernus maybe...
I could skip Precision Strikes and take Deadshot instead
Hip fire only weapon except for initial bursts to light things on fire
I want to see if somehow this ends up being stronger than my other goofy builds for killing Crushers
Ooo maybe drop Shock Trooper for Marksman instead...
and then drop relentless for bring it down
If it kills the boss in 5 seconds maybe it doesn't need to last any longer than that
i'll drop you into a rockcrete mixer
Laspistol isn't Dakka. Laspistol is Dinky. Very similar but also very different wear it matters
Vet base crit chance (5%), 5% crit chance talent node, Deadshot 25% crit chance, Headhunter (+5% crit chance on weakspot hit per stack, stacks up to 5 times to a max of 25% crit) = 60% crit chance at max Headhunter stacks with Deadshot active. You could also put a 5% crit chance perk on your weapon to get the max potential crit to 65% but tbh I generally do not because I would rather have Carapace, Elite, Flak or Maniac depending on whether I am using a Recon Mk II, Recon Mk VId or Recon Mk VIIa
Since it has a crit string of 2 across all variants 5% crit chance doesn't mean just 5% of shots as crits. I think someone mentioned that the crit string makes it effectively 9.5%?
I am unsure if Recons themselves add any additional crit on top of this
Afaik Laspistols get an additional 5%?
Thats what i was curious maybe hidden information in everygun
There's definitely hidden info but short of using mods to see it I am unsure how to verify this
i think path checked with one of the source code watchers and included it in the guide
I don't have the 2.0 guide
The original guide doesn't list it afaik
What are some generally good weapons to go along with infiltrate? I'm trying put dagger and double barrel shotgun currently
recon 6 is so fun
Revolver
i've been using it on scriers psyker and it's interesting to say the least
Or any high dmg per shot gun works. Even columnus V melts.
Scriers Psyker can do funny things with the Recons
side note i am literally awful with the vet rn lmao
my least payed attention to char used to be my main
then psyk corrupted me
really enjoying ogryn of all things rn tho for some reason
You can do Infernus and Dum Dum. The dot from Infernus gets the damage boost from Dum Dum and you don't have to rely on Deadshot or Headhunter to get crits either
Its 5sec buff 30% dmg?
Psykers don't get Shock Trooper though
it's 40 percent plus 30 percent finesse and it carries 10 seconds after. also psyk aura kills carry over into the CDR so if you play your cards right only downtime is dumping peril
that's why you go knife with mettle, the scrier's movement boost, and stabbing blue DD targets to get to the ammo first
Scriers Psyker can do funny things with the insert gun here
plus you have warprider progressively increasing power and the beloved disrupt bonuses on top of all that WITH true aim. can get some nutty numbers going lol
They're comparatively poor picks without the benefit of shocktrooper
maybe if you literally never use your melee weapon?
the ammo cap on these things are frigging huge now
It's hard to compete with finesse monsters like laspee and ciag
The only benefit recons feasibly have over those is shock trooper ammo efficiency
just because something crunches numbers better doesn't mean it's fun
Anyone can find anything fun, so that's a bit ethereal
not really
I'm talking in terms of objective performance
it's totally viable and fun
Well, viable is another loaded term
it doesn't have to be the absolute BEST all the time
is what i'm saying
so quit splitting hairs lol
I never said it did, I'm just letting people know in case they care about performance
Uh huh
not everything has to be to the MAX
otherwise we'd all be using plasma gun and p sword all the time
says the guy picking apart every opinion that's because it's not MIN maxed enough lol
anywho
literally like a 13 year old with asbergers lol

splitting hairs and gaslighting every chance you get aren't ya lol
just calling it how i see it my dood
Saying someone is "13" and has autism is not making you look good, bro.
Just saying.
I didn't call you a big smelly poopy head, I'd appreciate it if you didn't do it to me.
noone here asked for what's best so please stop trying to prove OPINIONs wrong lol
is my only point
Frankly it makes you look very childish and like you're deflecting a valid point.
Well, you can say you think it's fine, I'm not saying you're wrong. All I said was that there's better options typically.
you live for discord arguments don't ya lol
And that recons do not hold up comparatively well without shocktrooper.
Oh, the irony.
they literally hold up fine because of their massive ammo cap
You're literally egging it on for zero reason and making something out of nothing.
your opinion is like a week and a half old
Their ammo cap is reduced in overall efficacy due to lower damage per shot.
Soldier has very valid points.
An importat consideration when determining ammo efficiency is damage per shot vs actual reserve.

The ammo cap is lower on other classes due to 1) them not having access to an actual ammo reserves talent and 2) the lack of shock trooper.
and having actually used the damn weapon
i'd say it's literally fine throughout the course of a match lol
I have also used the weapon on all 3 classes, just for the argument.
They feel awful on zealout and psyker, outside of gunker.
yeah, feels pretty awful on zealot given that they don't have access to recons
You can think it's fine and it can still be a lower tier choice. Nothing about this is mutually exclusive.
My mistake, I thought we were talking about laspistols.
You are not wrong for liking something, or subjectively enjoying it.
That being said... recon only feels good with gunker builds for psyker.
in the hand of an ogryn what is an accatran if not a laspistol?
which is literally what was said to begin this stupid wordvomit of a conversation lol
All 3 = vet, zealout, psyker; but zealout doesn't have recons as I incorrectly thought we were talking about laspistols. I still have used recons on both psyker and vet, though.
I wasn't even here for the start of it 
I was meaning specifically for psyker. Vet does fine regardless with them.
with the proper perks
Though I'd much rather take an infantry or helbore lasgun over a recon.
which is the exact same thing you said about psyker
this convo is dumb and you people literally argue just to argue lol
I don't think you can read, brother. I said "vet does fine regardless."
You can do any number of builds with them.
it was it doesn't do well because psyker doesn't have the access to the ammo pool perk or shock troop
Yeah? It isn't that far out of the way to grab those perks on any vet build.
you see how this just looks like you people argue just to argue?
You do VoC and it's like 2 points away.
You could do infiltrate and go for focus target and still be only 2 points away from those talents.
Exe stance has even less investment to get those talents.
Doomslayer vet unironically goes hard in auric
Like... I don't know what exactly your argument is but it seems like you're pulling a strawman just to be a turd.
No one is out to get you here, I think you need to relax a bit 
you literally keep changing the narrative just to keep YOUR stupid strawman point alive that wasn't even YOUR point to begin with lmao
Db chainsword shout and frags are so damn fun especially when you have teammates
I have been trying to make it work but my shotgun is clearly shit 
you literally just argue just to argue and that's half the reason newps don't stick around this discord
I haven't, though? I said psyker only does well with a gunker build and vet is good regardless, so long as you get those talents. I never changed anything I said.
Please learn to read.
You doing weapon specialist with always prepared for the quickswap crit?
Surprisingly no
this was right under when you decided you needed to back up soldier
there it is
your original point
literally just argue just to argue lol
it couldn't be more in context
that's what i would say if i'd just been called out too lmao
The only reason gunker can hold a candle to vets is due to crit builds.
this right here
Which, again, does not contradict anything I have previously said.
I haven't changed any points, what are you even talking about?
idk how much more out of context the point you're trying to project now could be
gaslighting now are we
If you're concerned that peoples behavior is driving away new players, I don't think hostility like calling people 13 and/or insisting they have aspergers is helpful on that end.
what does this even mean lmao
But we're 13 
Between jumping the gun and not having coherent arguments, on top of insulting people that have valid points... I don't know what to even say to you.
bro wants to watch 13 years olds with aspergers fucking 💀
Ok guyz. What do you think about the power sword nerf????!!!!
This is the shotgun I’m using rn
i mean you literally keep changing your points to keep arguing so maybe just give up already?
Maximum speed reload
Multiple times. It's a POS now.

I mean true, but it hasn't been nerfed recently
Again, I've never changed my points. You are just insane.
I will never understand why this discord tends to attract absolute pedants with 0 ability to coherently contribute to social discourse
Nah jk. Sunder was buffed for some reason.
Meat shots on scabs are unironically really funny to do
Muties? Folded
Ragers? Mulched
And fuck that one trapper in particular
Can db knock down crushers?
I keep putting off levelling Psyker
That's my only hope
Of getting that stupid ass blessing

Grow up Pal 
Bro FS reaaaally doesn’t want me to have manstopper on the new sg
Lmao, more people are coming to see the rage fit bro threw.
also @junior needle after testing in meat grinder i'm fairly certain you're completely wrong about columnus being more ammo effecient
The mk2 (most ammo efficient recon model) does have slightly better ammo efficiency than the ciag on bodyshot, but much less on headshots.
I have 4 classes. Zealot is 700+, vet 540+ and psyker 400+ I am NOT leveling again
If we're going by baseline flak numbers
Same
Damn that's a lot of playtime...
weakspots to unarmored over 10 shots are around >175 average for recon 6 at 80 percent roll
I feel like a scrub on this Discord most of the time
weakspots for columnus IAG are at 225 at 80 percent
Same but it’s cool
Play time does not equate to skill. Keep that in mind.
Just be glad everyone else crunched the numbers before you got here
I can do some quick maths real quick, hold on
Damnation and Aurics only since February 2023
the ammo cap on columnus is around 580 for a max ammo roll
It’s fine! I’m +1090 on my vet and I still keep learning new things!
I've seen several level 300+ people in quickplay that are actual bots.
Yeah I've carried enough ASS and Auric Exemplars to know that, but still, it's humbling sometimes
It is indeed 580 for maxed ciag
@last parcel how the hell do you even have that on hand so fast???

That was literally a 2 second delay between the message and the gif.
have what on hand
I don’t trust what you say, especially with THAT avatar
wow i must be a 13 year old with assburgers

So fun fact about the shotgun I use
Asperger’s isn’t even a thing anymore it’s all just ASD


Also I’m really enjoying weapon specialist with indig saul and db
Is it a mod that makes that look like that
Wow I look away for 30 min and chat goes wild LMFAO
Just somebody with a chip on their shoulder being an ass for no reason.
Nothing to be concerned about.
at 80 percent ammo on recon it's 960 total ammo and 640 total on the column, based off of weakspot unarmored hits averaging at 175 and weakspot unarmored for column at 225 in my testing the recon is actually more ammo effecient
bro who hurt you? you still mad?
no that's just how it looksl ike normally
we're actually getting to the bottom of this lol
Yes. Mods can alter the descriptions of talents, weapons, curios, etc.
Which recon? The mk2 is the most efficient, so I was going to use that. Unarmored is a bit of an odd choice, but I think it's better to use reserve vs reserve since mag size has no bearing on ammo regeneration.
I'm not going to read everything but tbh even without Shock Trooper Recons still do solid damage. The ammo efficiency takes a hit though and tbh even then they're still good. Not CIAG tier but nothing is tbh. Literally no other automatic weapon in the game is up there. But I could absolutely show you that my Recons will outshoot the Agripina Infantry Autogun or Graia Infantry Autogun. I could also outshoot the Braced Autoguns too. They're good weapons but a weapon's performance beyond stats alone comes down to the person behind it and what talent set up they're comfy running with them
this is in a perfect world of course where everything is unarmored and only weakspots are hit. if we allign every damage type to every armor etc we'd be here all night
the 6
What mod is that in the image....for research purposes
I was going to use flak as the baseline, the recons would get demolished on a maniac or unyielding comparison without shocktrooper.
I don't know, and even if I did, I don't think I'd give it to you, respectfully.
I ran the numbers on them and 2 is the most ammo efficient variant unless you factor in cleave, so it would be a better comparison I think.
we were initially talking about the 6 so i just tested the 6
Very well, I can use the 6 instead
i don't have a 2 or mods to test with lol
I have mods and should have 80/80 variants of every one
i do too but having used both the recently buffed 6 and the columnus on a scriers psyker i was curious what the actual effect of the ammo buffs to them were. they're alot better than they used to be for ammo effeciency regardless
This for recon lasguns?
yueah
Only one I really use is 2 just because of how good it feels
Feels very accurate and hits pretty hard
oh shit yeah 7 is the one that burns 2 shots ain't it
well, i got my vet to 30, and i didn't manage to get manstopper on the double barrel
rip
that said, i'm at a bit of a loss for proper builds
make a side character for it
what is manstopper?
it stops man
tier 2 locked blessing
t2 shotgun blessing that gives increased cleave on crit
oh weird
not sure on the stats but basically a area deleter when you crit
for zealot its spicy with scattershot cause it also works on your throwing knives
so it becomes a railgun
A ciag will get 157760 total damage on unarmored weakspot hits (580 x 272), whereas a 6d will get 92400 (880 x 105). If you include the held magazine (which doesn't benefit ammo regen, as it's only based on reserve) then it will be 173536 (638 x 272) on the ciag vs 111300 (1060 x 105) for the 6d.
It's the least ammo efficient recon, 7a is the second best and quite close to the 2, which is the best.
@somber axle Hey duder, I'm making a Mk II Reconlas. Best perks/blessings?
2 being actually god
6d is noticeably the worst
Honestly I really like using (any nade, they all fuck) VOC and WS
Really fell in love with WS
or kourk stubber
Especially with Saul and Db
Flak + maniac or crit chance, hh and dumdum
middle of the road being shit doesnt help anyone and im glad middle of the road isnt a shit
Headhunter and Dum Dum. Flak is the most important then either Maniac or Crit chance (preferably Maniac imo)
Infernus is only decently competitive with dumdum on the 6d.
its funny
Thanks!
cause before it did less damage to maniac
Also thank you!
But with the recent buffs dumdum likely has an edge
How is lightning reflexes? I haven’t really used it
Oh shit I also forgot to ask — does smite electrocution count for High Voltage proc?
interesting. with the dead on accuracy of the lasguns it's not really in a bad spot compared to objectively the best weapon in the game lol
Better than they used to be, but an unarmored comparison also doesn't take into account the iag's positive multipliers to maniac and unyielding.
yes
that's what the DS4 hungers for
🙏
Recons also have noticeably negative modifiers on everything by default, which is harder to overcome on psyker.
That fucks
I can't recall how much general rending they actually have but I remember it not being much.
reflex also counters:
ragers
dog jumpscare
i still havent tried blocking crushers
i'm pretty sure one of them actually has some pretty hefty rending now
does it actually block overheads
tbh
i want 7a recon on my zealot now
feels like its a laser equivalent of agri brauto
Oh damn
i mostly like the 6 cuz it's a lawnmower and fun to use lol but idk if i'd like it on zealot
i use hh3 with hh and da on him
They all have the same rending values now, negative across the board on maniac/flak/carapace/unyielding.
It was normalized in the patch, 7a used to have better values than the others.
their maniac and flak were actually buffed too with the buff wave so that just speaks to how bad of a spot they were in
Depends on the variant, 7a was nerfed from what it was before (1.0 on unyielding/flak)
But yes they were in a very bad spot
The 6d had egregiously bad modifiers
I'm pretty sure it wasn't that bad (at close range at least)
it still bounced lasers
it wwas .6 at near
considering muties and ragers are both high health targets annnnd the gun sucked at killing both of them
Wasn't this really long ago
depends on your perception of time i guess
until the secrets of the machine god
but they were buffed like a week or two ago lol
which shock maul should I aim for
also maniac literally just swapped places fuckin
6d used to have inversed falloff, the others had normal
It's unhinged
ah
That patch changed it to regular
thats wierd
And also nerfed it
The damage on 6d is just sad except on unarmored
flak was dumbed down i see
6d is a laser pointer weaponized
would you have it has a laser pointer
I don't remember them changing adm recently
Which recon would you recommend running now?
not that it really matters but they also underwent a pretty large upgrade to dodge, sprint, and aiming templates
Oh so they did change damage too
If they get recon las I want eviscerator on vet
theere's the full patch notes regarding recons
That’s the trade
tbh
if i wanna get a vet gun
i''d chose helbores
revolver for dayss
can zealot please have a gun with melee attached
vet builds are strong enough to compensate for the amount of pandering you have to do to the revolver to make it truely busted
i'm told scriers with volver is kinda wonky too but i've always reserved my volver time for my vet
Honestly I don’t use the revolvers, they feel way too strong. Same reason I don’t run plasma really
Just overtuned imo
i personally don't think so when stacked up to potential dps of shit like the columnus lol
the reload time kills on volver. never really rocked the plasma myself i don't like the feel of it
Sure, compared to the strongest ranged weapon in the game lol
2 or 7a
6d is lacking a bit numerically and also received some very unnecessary changes to make it clunkier
7a also has da cleave
However the 6d feels the most fun because of rof
7a has cleave?
2.7 cleave
Wow, iirc groaners are like 0.8 mass?
That's 3 groaner
same cleave as bolter or agri brauto
before it was 2.7 so less
It has beeg cleave
Sounds so sad that bolter is next to a brauto but we live in atoma
Not revolver tier but beeg as you get on a fullauto
dont ask why a 20mm rocket propelled projectile has same pen as a laser
kek
like bistol has 0.001 cleave
Because it explodes for zero damage 
dont ask why
4 stacks of flak ragers back to back...
Something about bolts exploding on contact
someone shit in the director's cereal
Spawns are fixed finally (but not really)
Also encountered a vet running 3 wound curios.
Wanted to punt him out of a window.
They just need to make puncture work on the explosion and it'll be worth using outside of being a diet revolver.
I stopped running wound curios today and barely died, just getting used to it without the training wheels

eh imo they just make you die more lol
If you're gonna go down three times the game is probably fucked anyway
especially on vet curios are YUGE
Yeah I kinda figured that out
That would be amazing but make will create another meta blessing issue 
fuckin over 225 for both health pools makes my psyker feel like a delicate lil flower
curios are 100 percent subjective
Tough, health
whatever you play best with outside of wounds lol
Being able to be shot my a sniper and live with a sliver of heath is awsome
i like it when the game gives me 2 poxbursters back to back, only way to survive 2 of them coming near you and detonating without your consent is to have a wound curio so you dont get instagibbed lol
keep in mind the resistances have diminishing returns
the 2nd is like 14 percent and the 3rd like 6 iirc but don't quote me
The telopot special is stam tough health with 3x +5% health and toughness and some randomly stuff
Yeah but fuck gunners
meh they're fine just kill better
Gunner res is real nice imo because it makes it easier to trade with them
I have the awareness of a brick so I don't notice them until I'm almost dead 🧱
its 20%
is it multiplicative?
if so that might suck kek
It's less reaction and more knowing where to look for hidden gunners, map knowledge helps alot
i know they have diminishing returns when you stack them
only ones i run stacked gunners on is zealot and ogryn
ogryn becuz obvious reasons and zealot because space racist must yell and dive into all hordes
0.8->0.64->0.512 hm
Three is 48.8%
48.8 is still good no?
30% more dockets you mean

lmao
15% chance of curio best
docket chads
is it full stack to +30% rev
kek
Yea
he wasn't joking lol
+50%
unless you play so much that you have tens of millions
alot of people actually run ordos when tryna grind
i will sacrifice some tankiness for the grind personally, some won't
Ong
auric qp with dockets curio is what i do ye
Tbh I haven't needed ordos since I rolled a groll ciagv
Pick them up fast so they die again and you loot their consumables 
i had a guy have a meltdown earlier cuz i was running a green +3 but clipping wasn't enabled

Huh
i got five characters with many different shitter builds to fuel my guy. it never ends
2 psykers tho cuz psyker the best
my zealot has 12 builds and i crave for more melees
or least give me a gun with proper melee so i can build around it
kek
You will take your hellbore and you will LIKE it
give me a helbore on zealot
and i will scream in joy
i have to take a fucking headhunter and im forced to like it
or doublebarrel i guess thats a option now
Hellbore super underappreciated
i try to like it but it doesnt feel good without charge on zealot :/
i'd totally use FotF with ti just for the style points
Ah ok
charge stabby
idk it sounds cool
hope zealot gets a bayonet weapon someday in the future
diminishing returns is kind of a misleading way to put it
u still cut dmg by a lot
just because it's multiplicative doesn't mean stacking 3x is not worth it, it all depends
Wouldn't diminishing returns still be a technically correct description?
It doesn't imply you want to or should stop
Just that, correctly, there's varying amount of less value gained
technically yes but it scares people too much
What
"Don't tell people the truth because it scares them" reminded me of that
It’s not that
It’s the fact that people hear diminishing returns and immediate write it off
Going from 2x gunner resist to 3x gunner resist is x0.64 vs x0.512 in terms of gunner dmg, a ~13% reduction overall
But it’s still 20% less dmg (x0.8) compared to running 2x gunner resist
Diminishing return also only exists for resistance type perks
Neither sprint nor block efficiency have “diminishing returns” because they’re calculated as inverse
Ex: 15% sprint efficiency x1 / x2 / x3 is +17.6% / +38.4% / +62.8% longer sprint time
Yeah DR is expected to be multiplicative
Blergh
Total TDR I've been able to figure out for a stealth vet is like 87.2% for 10 seconds.
That's not including minor pips in the skill tree (if any)
People think of diminishing returns as too much of a negative when it’s still reducing dmg as usual
Yet another lacerate zealot, and this thing
(Also 3x 15% sprint efficiency is good)
a fellow reloadmaxxer 
What's a lacerate zealot?
its-ah-me
thanks to this, i can skirmisher max 
OKAY, BECAUSE I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE THE GUN PEOPLE
I need some tester guy thing to go into the psykhanium and check two things that I think might actually be the bolt pistol's ADS problem
The ADS seems to go on a W pattern when aiming
I think this W pattern might actually be going even when not ADSed, and then when you try to ADS again, the gun inherits a position on that W
I think I'm onto something
Wha?
Basically, if you ADS the bolt pistol, there is a sway pattern
The weapon will cycle through that sway pattern while ADSed
Respectfully in reality all weapons either sway in a w pattern or a sideways 8 pattern. This is due to the natural breathing we do.
...
Now onto what I'm actually trying to say
Rude
I believe the bolt pistol is still looping through that W pattern when the player is not ADSing, and when the player does ADS the bolt pistol, the aim takes the coordinates of a position on that W loop
so the theory is that instead of starting from a determined point, it just continues from the last point
Which in turn makes the gun aim off-center
Yes
Well, not even the last point
Let's say it's going around a circle at 90°/s
I ADS and it's currently at 0°
I wait 1 second and it's now ADSed at 90°
I let go of ADS, wait one second and ADS again
The gun would be at 180º because it kept following the pattern on the background
It's, like
It's such a Fatshark tier of jank
Have your tried......compensating for aim sway? We do this in the actual military as well
Jesus fucking Christ
Thr amount of time I've spent in the range is stupid
How do I compensate for a sway to which I don't know the position of?
I don't even know the exact W pattern the gun takes
Hip fire it, no need for all this ADS math
If the gun is doing a W pattern on the background, are you genuinely asking me to track every second for a possible location within that sway pattern just so I can ADS pointing the gun where I actually want to?
.......
put crosshair on mans
simple as
It's like trying to teach a fish to swim at this point

stop trying then
not addressing your issue directly, but doesn't deadshot negate the sway
Fair enough lol
I think it does, but I don't really like using it
Maybe if you understood what was being said and didn't immediately come assuming I don't know guns sway?
Discussion always go very well when you immediately assume the person you're talking to is completely clueless
Or be considerate that I'm just trying to have a simple convo with you? And not be extremely passive aggressive to everything I say?
But yeah, if anyone can test the W theory I'd love to hear more about it
If you did, you wouldn't have been so ignorant
You would have tried to understand what I was saying instead of assuming, again, that I have no clue what weapon sway is
If you had any questions about something you didn't understand, you could've easily asked them
I'm not ignorant I just downright hate aggressive people that take the slightest offense to simple convo attempts because it's not going their way like a small child not getting their cookie after dinner
You did not, by the way
Lacerate is a blessing that's bad, zealots are the ones usually running it
Thank you friend
Strangely that's my first maelstrom win today, I'm 1/5
guess you need lacerate zealot for good luck
I did my first auric maelstrom last night while completing my met fab 36 penances
Was a bit of a learning curve but made it in the end
I had one in all the other games 
or two

Is lacerate the bleed blessing?
One of the bleed blessings
Lootbox win
It comes in lacerate zealot form
Bleed is a static but nonlinear amount that is not a percentage
Gotcha
The wikis I've ran accross don't really touch of the effects and shit too much
The damage also varies depending on the armor type of the enemy
Gotcha :3
whats my dump stat on a plasma gun?
charge rate
ty
Is this a good plasma btw?
I got a new one after this that was better and traded this in for blessings
damage is low and volatile is bad in plasma's current state. you want >=78 for dmg and stopping power
i hope you picked up blaze away
For plasma you almost never want to do the charge shot
Takes more ammo, and more heat, and lower dps
Ye
I usually only charge up to maximise damage on unaggroed bulwarks
if you don't get the dmg and sp, you can use longshot/redirect fire to help make up for it
That's probably for a target focus build
Ye
This is the build he uses for those those stats
It's funny that it has such specific breakpoints
69% thermal resist for the extra shot before heat cap has to be intentional by the devs
Damage might be a little sus for breakpoints you need to try it out in the psyk
Mainly dreg gunner headshot
You aren't required to kill 5000 targets in 20minutes 
Gets Hot is really nice with Deadshot 
call in an airstrike
So I did good?
what are you talking about deadshot doesn't work on plasma
It doesn't?
Also! If you test the Plasma in the Psykanium be aware there is a visual bug where firing shots at the head are incorrectly registering as "flak" instead of carapace. The damage is properly being tracked vs carapace modifiers but the floating text from the Meat Grinder is bugged

I never tried
Deadshot has been bugged on Plasma since beta I think LOL
I think at this point it is intentional by the devs as not being usable with it
Honestly, take the blessing and try to make a Plasma with Stopping Power as the dump stat
