Ok step 1, don’t shoot at hordes

pure vigil
#

always have them on timer

abstract kiln
wicked epoch

wicked epoch
#

fair enough

#

Whats step 2?

tall torrent
#

Learn melee

wicked epoch
#

And why no krak nades?

#

Isnt that the go to for killing bosses?

wicked epoch
wicked epoch
#

excuse my seemingly dumb questions im genuinely new to making proper builds

tall torrent
#

This is not even a dedicated magdump boss dmg build

abstract kiln
#

Frags better for throwing throughout the mission

tall torrent
#

Frags are the higher dmg grenades

#

If u run exe stance ur going to need frags for making space

wicked epoch
#

I got like 2 extra points

#

Im guessing i can allocate those to whatever then

tall torrent
#

What does ur tree look like

wicked epoch
#

multiple screenshot time

radiant chasm
tall torrent
#

Pre-nade & red stim have same effects on boss anyway

wicked epoch
zenith helm
#

I cant believe i just dumped the power sword for the rashad

#

it is so much better

#

i can finally move around

tall torrent
wicked epoch
#

What else

tall torrent
#

And suppression immunity

wicked epoch
#

Gotcha

#

Whats a build i can do for bolter horde ?

#

sounds dumb yes but it sounds fun

#

i wanna try it with the ability that has you scream and revive people

tall torrent
wicked epoch
#

ah.

elder fiber
#

you really shouldn't be wasting bolter on horde outside of emergency situations (that frag would solve better anyways)

tall torrent
#

You just should not magdump horde with Boltgun ever

manic cloak
#

What melee weapon do you ship with this?

elder fiber
#

also revive node on scream is trap

uncut pebble
#

I don't think bolter has the pen to do that and I think your teammates would be mad that you're using ammo like a hose.

tall torrent
wicked epoch
#

Fair enough then

manic cloak
#

Ew

tall torrent
#

Chainsword cuz low point cost and u still get to kill elites with Bloodletter

uncut pebble
#

If you want something similar you could use plasma to thin out hordes due to its insane cleave.

tall torrent
#

Shock maul cuz it handles everything besides boss dmg and is low point cost

uncut pebble
#

Your ammo problem is significantly lessened because you physically can't shoot that many times before you overheat and explode.

wicked epoch
#

i made a hilarious build you may not approve of

#

bolter power sword shocktrooper ballsdeep build

#

lemme take pics of it

tall torrent
uncut pebble
#

Shocktrooper and bolter?

#

You're insane.

wicked epoch
#

not the perk itself

elder fiber
#

my fav shout revive experience was seeing somebody use it for multiple downs when one of them was on fire so they just instantly died

uncut pebble
#

Oh then nvm.

wicked epoch
#

oh shit i have like 3 points to allocate

uncut pebble
#

Do as you will.

#

Vet talent tree is surprisingly versatile to the point that you can make anything work.

wicked epoch
#

Is iron will good

uncut pebble
#

Very.

wicked epoch
#

I want something that can make me a mini astartes

#

Head canon is that this cadian is so mad he basically pretends to be a marine

marble mantle
#

Kinda funny that the game tries to level match make so when I feel like running a random sedition instead of getting some level 1s I’m instead getting level 30s that are doing the exact same thing that I’m doing

zenith helm
#

anyone wanna do twins damnation? haven't done it yet

uncut pebble
#

I don't think "mini astartes" is possible but you can definitely have some crazy survivability.

wicked epoch
#

What do i need

tall torrent
wicked epoch
#

Okay

tall torrent
wicked epoch
#

Damnation is hardest

uncut pebble
#

Between iron will and that one perk at the top that's toughness damage reduction when in coherency, you'll be hard pressed to die with teammates around.

marble mantle

wicked epoch
#

oh

#

whats the damnation part then

zenith helm
#

I havent attempted the regular version of damnation yet

tall torrent
wicked epoch
#

actually lemme take photos of the build and ill be willing to join

zenith helm
#

nope

uncut pebble
#

Damnation is the difficulty, but there is an optional hard mode that can be enabled.

I'm trying to get the very last Frenzied Killer penance (120 kills in 30 sec). What veteran weapons do you guys recommend would help me most with this?

wicked epoch

#

@formal lake do you have an ogryn build for twins

#

i dont have the achlys only have the gorgonum

worldly yew
#

Good enough lol

#

Achlys has better boss killing but gorgonum should work

wicked epoch
#

@formal lake do you have any guard bolter builds?

When are my Ogryn friends getting a giant chainsword, like we talkin bigger than guts’ dragon slayer

Additionally, giant brass knuckles? Taser knuckles? Something to think about.

#

does the ranged attack speed from ranged specialist keystone stay after the first shot?

solar garden
#

WELP. I had to literally level a fresh Vet up from scratch despite having over a thousand hours in the game to get it, which is disgusting and an egregious oversight by FS but.....

#

Finally got Manstopper unlocked.

#

Now... question is... which to replace with it...

#

I'm leaning toward keeping H&R because that 1 second reprieve really lets me go ham pushing shooters and gunners while 6% power isn't really all that much, but it does synergize really well with the theme of the build (that being weapon specialist w shock maul)

last parcel
solar garden
#

Good to know for future though, ty.
Awesome tool tip there, FS xD

solar garden
#

Hahahaha it's NP
I'll probably end up rerolling this shotty eventually since the reload stat is wasted with a weapon specialist build. Could get those points in mobility instead xP

last parcel
#

having mobility past 51 for most weapons doesn’t really matter since you get max dodges at 51 and the dodge distance difference is minimal

solar garden
#

Yeah ik but... eh... it's also wasted in reload most of the time so... it's kind of a wash either way.

#

Plus then I'll have one with Deathspitter and Manstopper

#

Or maybe Manstopper and Flechette for those mop-up kills where targets are left at like 10% health

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

icy orchid
#

Rate this Bolt pistol

solar garden
#

0/10 it's a Bolt Pistol and not a Zarona. 😛

#

And I'm not even a revolver main XD

#

I want to like the Bolt Pistol but there's just nothing it does that, IMO, the Revolver doesn't do better.
An extra 2 shots per reload and like 20 extra ammo doesn't bridge that gap, neither does the tiny stagger around the target.

inland orchid
#

I like how bolt pistol sound so ima keep using it thumbsup_ogryn

solar garden
#

I'm willing to be proven wrong, if someone has some way of making it work better, but I just haven't seen anything :/

inland orchid
#

Plus I get to help others with the “test your metal” event

solar garden
#

That's fair

#

And to be clear I don't think the Bolt Pistol is bad, it's certainly usable just... in a weird spot where it's competing with weapons that fill it's role better imo.

dire olive
#

Tbh, it seems you really have to build into it to get a lot of breakpoints, but once you do it's really fun

#

And if you're gonna one shot most things then mag size does make a difference

muted knot
#

there really isnt anything i can do with this brick right ?

#

Also is the Wapon customization mods up for this patch ?

dire olive
#

Yes

young sun
#

Can I turn this into something good enough to fuck around on damnation with? I'm out of the loop on what perks/blessings this thing wants

mortal orbit

dire olive
#

On nexus?

muted knot
#

oh right

dire olive
#

You can try the Darktide Modding discord, the mod author posts more up-to-date versions there occasionally before updating nexus version

muted knot
#

last time i used it it wasnt on nexus lol

#

thank you brother

kind hull
#

The problem with the bolt pistol is that tilted ads alignment

#

Like, use your pistol like a normal person instead...

heavy rover
#

I use the Hellbore MKII. Got it paired with infernus IV and Surgical IV. Combine that with the Shock Trooper and I've been having a lot of fun with it. It's forgiving so you don't feel pressured to headshot everytime, since the burn stacks are easy to build up when you're constantly aiming. I rarely go bellow half ammo throughout a run, and that's even if I'm shooting constantly

muted knot
minor jewel
#

gonna kill hadron after this performance

mellow dome
#

doing a crit build with Opening Salvo and Weapons Specialist

#

idk if I should swap one of the Blessings out for Manstopper

dreamy spade
#

I love seeing 4 digits in my ammo reserve

thorn lark
#

so i tried the db shotgun with the deadshot talent

#

and well i won't go back

bitter turtle
#

swap cara to elite

#

Puncture + elite can 1 tap dreg gunners with almost no talent tree investment besides superiority complex

#

its only a minor loss over cara for crusher dps

#

esp since you're not using surgical you're gonna be spamming deadshot fueled shots with DA anyway

#

that setup is basically what i want to try lol

#

but i cant roll DA

crystal temple
bitter turtle
crystal temple
#

yea

dusty sluice
#

whats the ideal blessings for bolt pistols :3

#

also does bolter feel good now or has hd2 messed with me

pallid jetty
#

aiming with this shit is hard

#

if you want to headshot - surgical + crit damage on weakspot

bitter turtle
#

i dont think explosion is ever really the right choice tbh

#

it just does so little

#

Deadly Accurate is still goo deven without surgical since wep specialist and deadshot

dusty sluice
#

i was thinking about surgical + puncture

#

also how even is shock maul

bitter turtle
#

great

#

and if you run puncture

#

i suggest deadly accurate really

#

the crits dont really do much without DA

#

and you can still force crits without surgical pretty easily

#

but yeah, shock mauls are great, kills basically everything except bosses fast

#

just run a gun that can deal with unyielding

bitter turtle
#

very few melee talents required to make it functional

dusty sluice
#

whats the diff between the mks?

bitter turtle
#

just the moveset

#

just pick the one you prefer

#

in terms of swing patterns

dusty sluice
#

is one better for horde clear?

bitter turtle
#

indignatus has a perfectly horizontal combo

#

idk about agni

inland orchid
#

Mark 3 is more bonks meanwhile mark Ia is more vanguard/unrelenting to it

dusty sluice
bitter turtle
#

Heavy Light loop

#

just be careful because its hard to get back into it if you misinput

#

if you do misinput

#

the fastest way to get back to the combo is just QQ

#

as in press Q twice in quick succession to swap out and back into the shock maul

#

will reset your combo

dusty sluice
#

ye ik

#

i bound mine to c bc of payday 2 lol

bitter turtle
#

ah

inland orchid
#

If worse comes to worse mark 3 u can block cancel to spam heavy sweep loregryn

#

The start of its heavy combo is a relentless attack

dusty sluice
#

any suggestions for a bolt pistol + maul build then?

wise fossil
bitter turtle
wise fossil
#

Yes, roughly flipped. Not perfectly

bitter turtle
#

agni is easier to fix if u fuck up the horde combo though

#

indig has that

#

achyls-like moveset

#

only hte first heavy in any pure heavy chain will be the horizontal

muted knot
#

ah yes my classic hellbore overkill damage

bitter turtle
#

i think if u fuck up you can do 3 more lights to get back to L2 aggain and chain it back into H1

#

but its easier to just qq

dusty sluice
bitter turtle
dusty sluice
#

oh yay

#

so any ideas for that pathing?

bitter turtle
#

you dont need longshot if you're running puncture

#

maybe something like this?

dusty sluice
#

seems silly

bitter turtle
#

if you go surg + DA then move some point into longshot

#

or else you cant 1tap dreg gunner/flamers anymore without crits

dusty sluice
#

ig longshot instead of always prepared

bitter turtle
#

yea you need longshot or puncture

#

here's an 80 dmg bistol without longshot

#

puncture has to fill in the missing dmg

hearty panther
#

he doesnt need that

#

he has FT

bitter turtle
#

yea i told him to go wep specialist instead

#

idk i dont thinnk its right to do anything except wep special for bistol

#

but that's just me ig

hearty panther
#

the actual definitive is Agile Engagement

bitter turtle
#

would you drop surv for it

#

i find bistol a bit ammo hungry

hearty panther
#

you could vaguely say they're interchangeable but, the output difference is pretty big for the gun itself

#

and i would not no

#

i stopped running surv a year ago

#

and they've only put more ammo on the map since then

bitter turtle
#

well, then yea go right and path through C&K and agile instead

hearty panther
#

nodes around survivalist are especially bad too, so

#

i have a hard time ever justifying it

#

(+5% reload speed, lmao)

bitter turtle
#

i actually value the 5% ranged dmg there lol

#

its actually super tight to get the puncture 1taps

#

but im a memer running puncture/DA anyway ig

hearty panther
#

i use puncture for zealot

#

vet, i mean depending on your tree i suppose

#

but i feel like you'd have to be deliberately avoiding ways to not need puncture

bitter turtle
#

i just dont really value surgical on it that much

#

at least with weapon specialist

hearty panther
#

nah, i agree with that

bitter turtle
#

so its nice to save a point instead of having to take longshot?

hearty panther
#

you dont really hold it down and frankly bistol sucks at drawn out engagements

bitter turtle
#

its not liek revolver where you can just hold it down and 2 shot anything yea

hearty panther
#

fucking nerf revolver already

old quail
#

revolver is in the category of guns i completely ignore

bitter turtle
#

i value it less than the 1tap on dreg gunner'flamer, but

hearty panther
#

"hur this gun sucks i cant use it at all compared to revolver"
yea no shit the revo secretly fires off a brick with Halo 2 levels of bullet magnetization and cleaves 6

old quail
#

my smooth brain is unbothered by it

bitter turtle
#

2 tapping bodyshot ragers is nice

#

with puncture i eman

hearty panther
#

an actual chihuahua could play the game with the revo

old quail
#

bolt weapons are one of those weapon types that makes me really mad that the dudes in flak armor are almost universally easier to kill than the dudes wearing rags

hearty panther
#

idk i get people who cant square that cricle

#

but to me, its a video game

#

things have made up niches

bitter turtle
#

puncture meme

#

oops discord lmao

hearty panther
#

like you really gonna tell me that you take extra shock damage IRL if you are wearing metal shoes?

bitter turtle
#

i complained about this before

#

but maniac just has no actual identity as an armor type

#

nothing is consistent about it

#

sometimes lasers do better, sometimes bullets do better, sometimes melee is great, sometimes melee is normal

#

its just weird

willow siren
#

maniac is jsut a dude high off his ass and cant feel the pain

old quail
#

the armor system in this game is p bad and the perk system only reinforces it as nonsensical bullshit

bitter turtle
#

and then theres the weirdass dmg values where combat axe horizontal heavies do high damage but vertical heavies are bad

#

and do worse than actual lights

#

its just ???

#

nothing about maniac is intuitive

old quail
#

i would like to know what the like big picture idea was for the armor types with dt

#

but the answer is probably "none" and the end result we have is a bunch of random incremental changes

hearty panther
#

it was probably just a desire to not have it be like in VT2

bitter turtle
#

i also think its weird that dreg gunners are tankier than scab gunners

hearty panther
#

where the only interesting choices were which special BPs you wanted to hit

#

and thats about it

bitter turtle
#

untrained dude with rags with a sloppily thrown together autogun or a trained elite member of one of the most prestigous guard regiments of the sector

hearty panther
#

and i mean if we wanna talk about armour and its impact

bitter turtle
#

who would win

hearty panther
#

then we gotta talk about how rending is just

bitter turtle
#

apparently hte fucking dude in rags

hearty panther
#

dummy

old quail
#

those were the days

hearty panther
#

lmao

old quail
#

ogryn melee weapons all have this universal issue where they fucking SUCK into maniac for some reason

hearty panther
#

like i think crushers should be fucking terrifying

old quail
#

even the pickaxes

hearty panther
#

i legitimately think there should be maybe three human weapons that deal with them

#

and everyone else has to manage them the way a dclaw or hsword does

old quail
#

(relatively speaking theyre part of the Ogryn Powercreep Train)

hearty panther
#

but thats not where we are right now

bitter turtle
#

and it was at least more like that formost weapons when the game came out

#

powercreep though

#

you literalyl have exactly 1 weapon now that cant kill a crusher in under 2 seconds

#

dclaw

#

lol

#

for vet at least

old quail
#

the game was also kinda boring as hell then tbf

hearty panther
#

it was worse when the game dropped

old quail
#

elites were scarce

bitter turtle
#

even the fucking standard shovel can do it fast with uncanny strikes

hearty panther
#

because you'd maybe get four crushers in a pack per game

#

and they used to have half the HP

bitter turtle
#

well yeah

#

we didnt have histg or mael

old quail
#

i watched like 2 mins of a "damnation solo clutch" video from the beta test and the guy was lightspamming dclaw into a horde and there were like

#

2 shotgunners and a mauler

hearty panther
#

they werent a threat cause they were very infrequent

old quail
#

and he kept chastising away from the mauler

hearty panther
#

lul

bitter turtle
#

but i meant more in terms of weapon dmg output

#

though there were outliers back then too

hearty panther
#

it was all the same outliers

bitter turtle
#

idk if i was just bad back then but it didnt feel like literally every melee deletes crushers out of the game like paper though

old quail
#

the game has a lot of numbers n stuff that don't really make much sense or aren't implemented in a sensible way

hearty panther
#

but even the weak ones were better cause again half the hp

coral willow
#

crusher is in a wierd place

old quail
#

like there's crit adm boosts but none for weakspot

coral willow
#

dont crit ignore ADM

old quail
#

no

hearty panther
#

well it's getting better thankfully

#

now that zealots cant melt crushers with a shredder and one ult

old quail
#

on a per-weapon basis they can have adm boosts (which can be literally any number they choose) for different armor types

bitter turtle
#

man

coral willow
#

hm.

old quail
bitter turtle
#

instead of literally every gun killing crusher

old quail
#

one of them is smiting ("electrocuting") on heavy attack

bitter turtle
#

bc of the nerf

hearty panther
#

anything to change smite, man

#

also warp charges can fuck off

#

ill take it

old quail
#

i block every smite psyker i get in pubs

hearty panther
#

smite psykers should only be able to queue with other smite psykers

#

so they can electro-circlejerk each other

#

and i can play the FUCKING game

coral willow
old quail
#

warp charges should have the same upgrad enode layout as weapon specialist

#

ideally tbh it would just be a pyromancy keystone or smth

coral willow
old quail
#

and you'd get different interactions with soulblaze

hearty panther
bitter turtle
#

there are like 5 of them

coral willow
#

2

old quail
hearty panther
#

i dont see it personally

old quail
#

it's probably the least problematic in terms of upgrade nodes and u could just fix some of them to be less awful

bitter turtle
coral willow
#

cant deal with crusher packs

bitter turtle
#

u just shoot them one at a time

hearty panther
#

main node is everything i want it to do, always prepared has comical niche utilization, and i couldnt even tell you what the rest are

bitter turtle
#

i dont understand the problem

old quail
#

the problem i have with it is that it needs to be able to be useful for all weapon types (it is not named semi auto and melee specialist SMH)

bitter turtle
#

do you need a gun to delet 10 crushers in under 3 seconds for it to be "good"

hearty panther
#

yes big agree there

coral willow
#

yes i do classify as it that so

hearty panther
#

"weapon specialist" actually means "Revolver Simp"

bitter turtle
#

i guess rashad is bad into crushers

old quail
bitter turtle
#

takes 3 whole heavy swings to kill them wtf

#

worthless

old quail
#

the other 2 are literally just useless though

coral willow
#

so rashad gets a pretty high rating for me

bitter turtle
#

my point

#

is that your definition of "deals with crushers" is extremely warped

old quail
#

i think they should make the fire rate into swap speed baseline (so that u can use it with heavier stuff like helbore/bolter less awfully) and turn one of the nodes into fire rate if u really want it

bitter turtle
#

very few things could actually just delete 10 crushers in under 3 seconds and frankly that should just not even exist in the first place

hearty panther
#

if n = exist solve for x

bitter turtle
coral willow
#

you can parry dclaw a crusher to death
my problem with crushers is the crusher packs so unless a gun can reliably deal with them(bolter) its bad in my book
and those who dont make it into bad category is unusable for crushers most of the time so

old quail
#

i rank weapons based on how effectively they solve my father issues which is to say they all fucking SUCK dude

hearty panther
#

it would be nice if the wepspec nodes modified the base effects for different types of weapons, but yeah, what we got right now is

#

just fucking bloated imo

#

like its a good node, in that its effective and does things for you ingame that are valuable

bitter turtle
hearty panther
#

but i think its the worst node in the game becasue of how unbelievably stacked it is

bitter turtle
#

that is literally killing them in under 3 seconds

hearty panther
#

right at the top end

old quail
#

weapon specialist has a conceptual gameplay style that isn't 1:1 with how you already play

bitter turtle
#

with a ranged weapon

#

that is fine

#

just shoot them one at a time jfc

coral willow
bitter turtle
#

yes

hearty panther
#

even zealot has to at least pretend to dodge to get momentum stacks

old quail
#

which ranks it in the top 3 keystones for me

bitter turtle
#

like how everyone else does it

hearty panther
#

veteran just shoots a poxwalker and gets gigaboosted

bitter turtle
#

even giga busted dumbshit revolver on vet still takes around that amount of time

#

but i guess its bad at crushers if u cant literally just cleave the entire pack all at once

coral willow
#

zarona can exec oneshot if anything, that thing needs to be put down

old quail
#

part of the issue i think is the vet right side tree is "commando" vibes

#

but then like half the guns u would associate with it are not really supported beyond maybe onslaught

hearty panther
#

also part of the issue is just fucking nerf revolver alreadyyy

coral willow
#

so 5 crushers down for 5 seconds

old quail
#

can u imagine the immense about of gamer rage

bitter turtle
#

yeah

#

the most busted gun in the game

hearty panther
#

yes, im hard just thinking about it

bitter turtle
#

running exec weapon specialist

#

which is a fucking meme

old quail
#

i hope they make hand cannon put your cara adm to 0

hearty panther
#

literally tilting my keyboard off my desk tray

old quail
#

so u cant ever shoot crushers with it

bitter turtle
#

idk what your point is even

#

didnt u say

coral willow
#

just exec alone does it

bitter turtle
#

you agreed that rending on fotf is bad

hearty panther
#

if they just made the projectile

#

not a giant ass brick

bitter turtle
hearty panther
#

and you had to actually aim it like, you know

#

every other fucking gun in the game

bitter turtle
#

this is a stupid premise

hearty panther
#

that'd be a nice start

old quail
#

i enjoy the bullet being so large it can be in two separate places at once

hearty panther
#

schroedinger's headshot

white minnow
hearty panther
#

ikr arco

old quail
#

jesus christ

hearty panther
#

its so fulfilly

#

watch out tho u might break ur fragile ass life-support laptop

white minnow
#

RUDE

coral willow
white minnow
#

my laptop stays out of this

old quail
#

boltpistol is a quick swap "kill this dude" gun that doesn't make me feel like an xbox player getting carried by using it so i can play weapon specialist again

hearty panther
#

yes

#

i love it

#

also sincerely enjoy the utility of BIG BOOMY BOOLET

#

to clear shit

bitter turtle
hearty panther
#

you dont even have to hit the dog on your teammate to free them, just something nearby

bitter turtle
#

and if you are playing zarona in the first place you're obviously tryhard sweating

#

no reason to run anything except WS for keystone

coral willow
#

this isnt some me shit i dont even run that shit cause its unfunny kek

old quail
coral willow
#

WS is quite popular with zarona

#

but so is FT or just skipping it entirely

hearty panther
#

the zarona pairs amazingly with a M+KB or Controller

#

and sometimes even a monitor can help

bitter turtle
white minnow
#

no love to my driving wheel?

old quail
#

i exclusively play with the jsat foot pedals

hearty panther
#

we're the odd ones out here

old quail
#

darktide is a racing game

white minnow
bitter turtle
#

you could probably still aim fine with a driving wheel on some of these guns ngl

zarona? absolutely

old quail
#

i played plasma again for the first time in like 8 months

coral willow
#

i tried a controller and idk how to use it

old quail
#

i almost fell asleep immediately

#

i cannot believe the plasma shout vets who keep ragequitting my lobbies are losing with this fkin thing

white minnow
#

plasma vet is singlehandedly held back by their users

coral willow
#

anyway so outside of bolter and maybe zarona i dont think zealot has a good crusher killer

old quail
#

none of them have functioning brains and yet they still probably have over 50% wr (just not around me for some reason)

coral willow
#

havent tried boltpistol so might rank that higher after tryinf it

white minnow
#

you mean ranged weapons only right

bitter turtle
coral willow
bitter turtle
#

bistol gets something like 2k

old quail
#

ok but did you know the brauto crit string nerf actually killed it

bitter turtle
#

idk ur literally saying "but its not some meme exec FT zarona build that can literally oneshot them so its bad"

old quail
#

and its no longer viable

white minnow
#

dead weapon

#

the close range buff was actually pretty damn good for the brautos

old quail
#

out of all the things i have seen i think that was the most powerful

white minnow
#

yeah it's way too good now

old quail
white minnow
#

what's the point of "close range" when 90% of engagements happen in that range

old quail
#

because catch a breath has been fkin GUTTED

white minnow
#

OWNED

coral willow
bitter turtle
#

plasma is not even really that good vs crusher

#

at least compared to everything else it does

old quail
#

the problem is fire frenzy/deathspitter are in the same category of "should not exist" as slaught etc

hearty panther
#

man yeah boosting close range by 60~% was uh

#

a fascinating move

old quail
#

theyre stupid blessings that just inflate stats

bitter turtle
#

what happened to catch a breath

white minnow
#

shoot gun do more damage 😔

bitter turtle
#

did it get affected b ythe close range change

old quail
#

yes

hearty panther
#

no

bitter turtle
#

i thoguht it says 8m still

#

on the tooltip

pseudo fiber
#

Conflicting opinions here.

white minnow
#

which monochrome profile do i believe here

coral willow
hearty panther
#

yea im just here for the misinformation

bitter turtle
#

i mean i would be surprised if its a fucking lie

#

but yea

hearty panther
#

well one is an anime avi loser and the over is a game girl avi loser

#

choose your fighter now

old quail
#

who knows

#

i would have to boot up the game to test that

hearty panther
#

id also have to click on catch a breath again and i refuse

old quail
#

my assumption is it works off the same function as the close range thing

coral willow
#

terrifying barrage is unique isnt jt

old quail
#

catch a breath is great when ur running knife exe stance and just leaving poxwalkers to ur teammates

pseudo fiber
#

Well that is a specific number so

bitter turtle
#

na it still works

old quail
#

damn

hearty panther
#

winner: this loser

white minnow
#

close range buff doomers in SHAMBLES

old quail
#

anyways they shouldve kept fire frenzy as fire rate (unironically)

coral willow
#

was it firerate before

hearty panther
#

yes it was much more fun and interesting

white minnow
#

i suspect exploits would agree with you

old quail
#

for a brief time in p13

hearty panther
#

for a brief time yes

white minnow
#

yup there we go

coral willow
#

that sounds fun

old quail
#

when fs had BALLS smh...

white minnow
#

yeah straight up damage and power is quite degenerate

hearty panther
#

also bring back stripped down sprint speed 😦 (they wont ever)

old quail
#

but then people got mad they werent getting free damage for playing the game

#

that shit was so funny with a bugged fire ripper because you'd shit out like 60 stacks (capped at 31 😔) of fire in a second tops

white minnow
#

and the only condition being on kill (very hard difficult to do and you have to go out of your way to do, of course)

coral willow
#

duh

old quail
#

the ogryn pickaxes are absolutely DEVASTATED by having a million power blessings

coral willow
#

worse than dumdum

old quail
#

i was disappointed when i saw the pool

coral willow
#

apprantly

old quail
#

ogryn weapons are so sad

#

it's a miracle the pickaxes have any complexity at all

pseudo fiber
#

I gotta get that mod that explains weapon buffs because which one is power again

old quail
#

all of the offensive stats

pseudo fiber
#

Kid lmfao mobole moment

white minnow
#

+10% power = +10% damage, +10% cleave, and +10% stagger

old quail
#

damage/cleave/stagger

bitter turtle
#

the one that affects impact and cleave

#

ye

coral willow
#

power is usually better than

#

close damage

white minnow
#

and the stats from power stack multiplicatively with the original stats

coral willow
#

so idk why fire frenzy exist rn other than to stack kek

pseudo fiber
#

I didn't know that part neat.

white minnow
#

e.g., if you have +20% damage and +20% power, you get 1.2 * 1.2 = 144% damage

hearty panther
#

yeah its too valuable, and too easy

coral willow
#

ifre frenzy buffing attackseed sounds fun

#

but ammo couls be issue i guess

hearty panther
#

"hmmm does my build need more stagger for elite control, cleave for crowd control, or damage for breakpoints ... oh nvm there's power right here that does all of that"

white minnow
#

tradeoffs 😔

coral willow
hearty panther
#

because it sucks

#

thrust is only for special attacks

coral willow
#

its a power blessing

bitter turtle
#

yea

#

i totally want to lose dps

#

by charging a heavy

hearty panther
#

yeah 60% for winding it back

#

instead of just hitting twice

bitter turtle
#

sounds like a great idea

hearty panther
#

it only has a spot on THammer because of the special activation

coral willow
#

extremely halarious pick

coral willow
pseudo fiber
#

I used a mk1 with skullcrusher and the new electric one.
Zamn that's some good damage.

hearty panther
#

ill let u in on a secret

willow siren
#

meanwhile ogryn weapons taking thrust almost universally

coral willow
#

chaxes in ocasion

hearty panther
#

its not fine on them either

bitter turtle
#

activate special do one shot

old quail
#

u have to have some pretty fuckin nasty endlag or smth for thrust to be worthwhile

hearty panther
#

oh right i forgot the folding shovels

coral willow
#

oneshots crushere better kek

hearty panther
#

and yeah ogryn can no longer drop crushers in a line

#

so thats right out

old quail
coral willow
#

it still kinda oneshots better cause no stat requirement

#

in a way

hearty panther
#

the stat requirement is thrust

willow siren
#

branx pick is crazy

hearty panther
#

yea but not literally like

#

all four in a line

#

in one swing

coral willow
#

would current pickaxes be better if it did not have thrust

old quail
#

i wish they would design an ogryn melee weapon that is not conceptually based around being slower and more hard hitting than the last one they made

#

this shit has been ongoing since the first weapons they added post release (paul)

white minnow
#

they'll release a flail next and you'll have to wait for it to spin up

willow siren
#

good news is branx horde clear is gated behind the easiest possible combo and most players dont understand it

old quail
#

although paul is just

#

slow

coral willow
#

i only know

#

sa-hwavy

willow siren
pseudo fiber
coral willow
#

hala is same as something like ironhelm but ye

willow siren
#

gives you a unique sweeping combo

willow siren
#

and with the damage on the branx is just eats hordes

coral willow
#

brigette flail type of wwapon where it has 15m range as a mele could be funny

wise jackal
#

Flail and shield

coral willow
#

i just want a shield ogryn throws like hes captain atoma

hearty panther
#

charge heavy and block is not something we have in DT yet

coral willow
#

bret longsword is cool

wise jackal
#

Probably my favorite VT weapon

#

Along with the holy great hammer

coral willow
#

deflector to charge heavy freely kek

pseudo fiber
wise jackal
#

Hammers in the tide games always felt great, krubers greathammer was the first weapon i got the hang of when i was a noob, so its great to see hammers in this game evoke the same feeling

coral willow
#

thammer uh

#

only has the moveset

#

not the feels

wise jackal
#

Yeah

#

But the special has it, if a little overboard

coral willow
#

special is.... wack imho

#

i dont classify it as anti armor

wise jackal
#

Im annoyed that H1 does more damage on the thamm than l1

hearty panther
#

yes

bitter turtle
willow siren
#

almsot free

coral willow
#

just make it kill crushers

bitter turtle
#

its such a shit weapon

coral willow
#

then ill put it in anti-armor category and give my love to it

#

until then its in the bag

#

ironhelm has lower damage so has to have like every buff imaginable to kill a crusher without ulting

bitter turtle
#

crushers are not the only thing that matters

#

its bad against literally everything

willow siren
bitter turtle
#

for one of the most awkward atks in the game

willow siren
#

hell with batter you can jsut slap crushers to death with your gun

pseudo fiber
#

They should put teh thing the ironhelm has where there isn't a delay between reactivation onto the crucis though

coral willow
hearty panther
#

then why two hammers

coral willow
#

cause it can cleave

wise jackal
#

How is the crusher mace at least

coral willow
#

crusis should bring back the AoE stagger

coral willow
#

3 is overkill maybe cause first will always be lnife and rashad

#

🤡

What are we thinking for BiS blessings on the new double barrel shotgun?

marble mantle
#

Wild that I’ve bought like 50 helbores at this point and still ain’t got one with a decent stat roll

#

Wanna make a build with it w FT, Exe Stance and smokes

bitter turtle
#

theres a lot of dumps tats on helbore

#

it shouldnt be that bad

#

ammo and stability are basically nothing

marble mantle
#

Oh bet

bitter turtle
#

which mark are you using

marble mantle
#

2

bitter turtle
#

ah

#

you can

#

probably make do

#

without weight of fire

gilded rock
#

Helbore reminds me of those animations in games where your character is in a life or death situation but takes their sweet ass time doing something

#

Why must I caress the gun before I flick it on and why doesn't it stay flicked on nomnomnom

terse idol
#

Cause ya gotta turn the safety off

#

Me watching as the zealot puts the fully loaded bolt pistol in his pocket, flowing garments with safety off

#

#

#

What should I change? I’m assuming SE and SF

#

Got really lucky tbh

#

Finally

idle swallow
#

Change sprint to unarmored for more consistent dreg gunner 1 taps and sustained can honestly be whatever you want, surgical is the only must have

marble mantle
#

Bet

#

Thanks

#

Why unarmored and not flak? I know you just said that, but is there any reason why flak would be a bad choice?

tall torrent
marble mantle
#

Ahhhhh okay okay

tall torrent
#

And flak doesn’t change major breakpoints for this gun

marble mantle
#

Bet thanks!

idle swallow
#

Remember to use the bayonet when up close if the horde isn't too dense, it'll absolutely shred anything short of carapace or monsters

marble mantle
#

Oh sweet, I didn’t know that! Thanks!

bitter turtle
#

drop determined (suppression immunity)

#

you already have suppression immunity on helbores

#

actuaolyll etme just fix your tree

#

lol

marble mantle
#

Oh really? And thanks!

bitter turtle
#

yea some guns basically are unaffected by suppression

marble mantle
#

That’s neat

bitter turtle
#

this is my suggestion based on what you seem to want to take

#

if you're wondering why agile engagement

#

it works on the bayonet

#

and the gun

#

without swapping

marble mantle
#

Oh really? Holy nuts

#

Bet lol

bitter turtle
#

so if you kill something iwth the bayonet, you get 25% gun damage for a few seconds

#

and if you kill something with the gun, the bayonet gets buffed

marble mantle
#

Fuckin sweet

#

Thanks!

bitter turtle
#

np

#

if you want

#

you can drop uh

#

longshot for shocktrooper

#

idk you seemed to want it so i kept it

#

i dont think it should make a huge difference for you though

#

redirect fire can also be dropped for shocktrooper ig

marble mantle
#

Oh okay, thanks : )

bitter turtle
#

for infinite ammo

#

shocktrooper is the "no ammo used on a crit" talent

#

helbores are already super ammo efficient regardless though

#

but if you find yourself running out of ammo

#

you can dorp one of those two and grab shocktroope[r

marble mantle
#

You think the build concept will work?

bitter turtle
#

if you can avoid getting hit yea it should be fine

He went into general complaining about lack of builds for Vet Marksman, continued to complain, went in here and complained more with a bit of name calling out of nowhere, and yeah

i still dunno how marksman is supposed to work

#

least after the buff its definitely viable

marble mantle
#

But it’s not for me

potent iris
#

you just headshot things, you get buffs and it's pretty much just a dps increase

untold hull

I tried it out not too long ago and I actually fell in love with it
it's really rad, once I get the ball rolling on my agrippa shotgun it turns into a minigame of keeping the headshot ball rolling

it's actually pretty simple lol, and yeah kinda fun

Marksman + a Helbore is my prefered way to play Vet

restricting movement is the most i can get out of that, even if it has other things like rending for it

It doesn’t restrict ur movement

marble mantle
#

I just made a smoke exe FT build with helbore and it fucks pretty hard

tall torrent
#

6s free movement window is very generous

potent iris
#

it really doesn't restrict movement, you get like a 6 second grace period on headshot kills...and if you ain't getting a headshot kill every 6s when you're shooting at stuff idk maybe play ogryn instead

potent iris
#

hell you get a grace period just for landing headshots too, it doesn't even have to kill

coral willow

less than 6s but still
