also not good but hey its your sprinting baton

#

i like mk3 tbh

#

but i think you require thrust for the crusher oneshots?

bitter turtle
#

yes

coral willow
#

and pretty strict damage

bitter turtle
#

im just saying

#

if you intend to boost your horde dmg

#

skullcrusher only does something for mk3 light spamming

coral willow
#

hm would a thrust skullcrusher work

#

kek

bitter turtle
#

but its still

#

eeeeh

#

like

#

we're talking like 40 seconds on that chart

coral willow
bitter turtle
#

i think deci is better if you dont drop it

#

i hate deci though

coral willow
#

extremely easy to drop it

bitter turtle
#

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

coral willow
#

if it didnt have a 2 second limit and stayed infinite it might be the more hated blessings probably

bitter turtle
#

so its the same as probably trying to hit a 0 stack uncanny 1tap

#

which is possible

coral willow
#

i thunk i tried to do that on my mk7

#

the pullout time is quite annoying

tawny badger
#

you guys know any good alternatives to the devil’s claw mk IV for horde clear?

bitter turtle
#

yes

#

i mean

#

what are you looking for in particular

#

because theres plenty

tall torrent
#

It’s exclusively thrust + uncanny

#

Everything else are inferior

bitter turtle
#

yeah but i think he asked

#

is it possible

coral willow

i need to make a better shovel

tawny badger
bitter turtle
#

yes

#

its the best weapon in the game

#

good vs all targets, good horde clear

terse idol
bitter turtle
#

needs to be godrolled though

terse idol
#

You can make a bare minimum rashad like I have

coral willow
#

mine has a 69 finesse roll

#

so idk if its a godroll

bitter turtle
#

high rolls on every statline, 51+ mobility, unarmored perk + carapace/flak, headtaker+BM

tall torrent
#

Unarmored + carapace is best

terse idol
#

A god roll being 80 on all damage stats

bitter turtle
#

yeah i agree cara is best

#

but i would still use a flak one

#

if thats what i rolled

terse idol
#

You can make do with like minimum 70 on all damage stats, but you gotta then support it with a bunch of talents

bitter turtle
#

i guess 2nd perk can be anything rly

anyone run thunderous on non-ogryn?

tawny badger
#

alr fuck this I'm switching to my shovel

tall torrent
#

And even on Ogryn, no

coral willow
#

what do you usually use on basher then?

austere pine
#

on basher?

tall torrent
#

Thrust/skullcrusher + haymaker

coral willow
#

i use skullcrusher and thunderous on mk3

tall torrent
#

7/7 tier IV blessings collected on boltpistol KEKW_ogryn

#

@bitter turtle u wanna play

coral willow
#

just questioning

#

i like the funny onwshots it gives sometimes

tall torrent
#

If I’m playing ogryn in the first place I already gave up on logical decision making

coral willow
#

cool, running thundy then

tall torrent
#

And thunderous just isn’t that good

coral willow
#

its worse than any rending but you use what you get

tall torrent
#

No it’s just that it doesn’t help ogryn much

bitter turtle
#

so im alr

#

thanks for offering though

tall torrent
#

The only case it rly helps is if u melee with thunderous then use stubber vs carapace or smth

#

But like

bitter turtle
coral willow
#

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

tall torrent
#

That’s so much effort compared to just meleeing

coral willow
tall torrent
coral willow
#

unarmored carapace

Pinpoint + gloryhunter

It’s a special sniping gun, might as well

coral willow

#

Shattering doesn’t do that much for it

coral willow

we recommend pinpoint + shattering from what i remember

The thing is, shattering really only exists for crushers

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

uncut pebble
#

I'd like a "parry" blessing for force swords on psyker.

coral willow
#

parry auto-initialting the force charge would be cool

uncut pebble
#

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

10 brusiers? 100 poxwalkers?

thorn lark
#

iirc it is 100 pox

#

and it's @short vapor

tall torrent
thorn lark
#

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

marble forum
#

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 🤔

short vapor
# coral willow

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.

junior needle

so guess nothings wrong with it

lacerate is one of those forget the guys you were just knifing and go knife other guys but its not the fastest i guess

bitter turtle

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

junior needle
#

Fresh from my auric maelstrom lobby

bitter turtle

its ust haymaker killing stuff

not that i'd suggest an uncanny haymaker mk6

coral willow
#

lacerate is still the most used here kek

bitter turtle
#

yes

thorn lark
bitter turtle
#

because a lot of blessings werent tested

#

bc they are useless on poxwalkers

#

wtf would uncanny do

coral willow
#

dont poxwalker infested take like half bleed damage

#

anyway

bitter turtle
#

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

coral willow
#

fair point

bitter turtle
#

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

coral willow
#

yeah infested has 0.5x adm for bleed which does get countered by uncanny.

bitter turtle
#

like savage sweep + nothing and rampage + nothingn for chainswords

#

"nothing" being bloodletter

coral willow
#

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

bitter turtle

obv

#

when you jam the knife inot flak armor

somber axle

I can't possibly imagine them dying this often

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

somber axle
#

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

# coral willow poxwalker what

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

Only with ADS?

torn gorge

las weapons are fake dakka

#

otherwise orks would be using them

#

ofc

somber axle
# sturdy zephyr Whats MkVId base crit chance?

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%?

coral willow
#

doesnt it base 7.5% idk

i dont remember

somber axle
#

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

sturdy zephyr
#

Its 5sec buff 30% dmg?

somber axle
#

Psykers don't get Shock Trooper though

jovial aurora
# sturdy zephyr Its 5sec buff 30% dmg?

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

jovial aurora

they literally hold up fine because of their massive ammo cap

uncut pebble
jovial aurora

your opinion is like a week and a half old

junior needle

Their ammo cap is reduced in overall efficacy due to lower damage per shot.

uncut pebble
#

Soldier has very valid points.

junior needle
#

An importat consideration when determining ammo efficiency is damage per shot vs actual reserve.

torn gorge
uncut pebble
#

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.

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'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

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.

It was normalized in the patch, 7a used to have better values than the others.

jovial aurora

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

junior needle

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

u still cut dmg by a lot

#

just because it's multiplicative doesn't mean stacking 3x is not worth it, it all depends

junior needle
#

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

tall torrent
junior needle
#

"Don't tell people the truth because it scares them" reminded me of that

tall torrent
#

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

junior needle
#

Yeah DR is expected to be multiplicative

Thoughts?

#

Recently got a new one

umbral scaffold
#

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

covert moat
#

Wha?

umbral scaffold
#

Basically, if you ADS the bolt pistol, there is a sway pattern

#

The weapon will cycle through that sway pattern while ADSed

covert moat
#

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.

umbral scaffold
#

Ugh.

#

Yeah, no shit.

covert moat
#

...

umbral scaffold
#

Now onto what I'm actually trying to say

covert moat
#

Rude

umbral scaffold
#

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

rigid schooner
#

so the theory is that instead of starting from a determined point, it just continues from the last point

umbral scaffold
#

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

covert moat
#

Have your tried......compensating for aim sway? We do this in the actual military as well

umbral scaffold

Jesus fucking Christ

covert moat

Thr amount of time I've spent in the range is stupid

covert moat
#

Your a very aggresiv3 person

#

Not a fan

torn glen
#

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?

You would have tried to understand what I was saying instead of assuming, again, that I have no clue what weapon sway is
