yeah I mean I could see that, though that's the same for any weapon specialist build
Prefer sluggy but still
But u can do really well with it
I guess I would feel more likely to actually use my ranged to proc melee specialist though
It’s more like
Much higher risk than most other builds
Because u have downtime if there’s no horde around
On WS Zarona the risk is fairly low
yeah that's fair, since you're gonna be lower on the range front
and its not like you have throwing knives to make the difference
Smoke helps tho
I’ve actually been getting much better at using my smokes
just for the love of god dont throw them in the middle of everything 
Sorry can’t hear you, it’s too smoky in here
im about to quickplay with my smokes rn
😎 except me
and I've been vibing with exec stance
Most people don’t understand how it works so they use it poorly
yeah I mean if it was the gunner patch
I could get it
Exe stance smokes fucks tbh
No
That’s not all smoke does
what am I missing
Sorry, can't hear you over the sound of the smoke
Tsssssssssssssssss
loud ass smoke can't hear shit can't see shit
I guess that's interesting
not sure I actually care for any of that though, I'd still only want them thrown far and out of the melee
mostly on lil gunner groups that aren't gonna be dealt with immediately
No, smoke in its current iteration is very literally “you want to be inside it”
damage is so stacked, and sliding so broken that usually you can just kill everything
Honestly I think that if a mutant, poxburster, or hound is in the smoke, they should just target the last known location of the player
Would be so nice
Concealment status is what matters, not the visual smoke cloud itself
oh god, mutants diving at phantom players sounds rough
No
I mean I can read what it says I just don't know why I'd really wan't that most of the time
enemies don't do enough damage and are easily avoided
which is why I say in gunner patch I'd get it
Why no
since then the lil shit muncher gunners were actually doing something
Because it makes flamers unable to attack u
so does being dead
Or hounds
I wasn’t suggesting a nerf lol I just thought it would be a nice change
Or snipers
and post fire changes fire damage isn't that big
hounds and snipers are both slidable, dodgeable
It’s a defensive utility tool
dogs can be shoved or hit
Making it shut off specialists completely is better
yeah I mean I get it just, it doesn't bring anything that positioning and slide/dodge dont
Well yeah sure I totally agree but I kinda sincerely doubt they’d make it that strong
honestly I'd settle for it just being less visually disruptive
or having that be one of the many non existent accessibility options
You can say good positioning makes it less relevant, but smoke also enables u to position urself much more aggressively and still take minimal risk
It’s a utility tool
yeah psyker shield is the same
but I can see at 100% through the shield
whereas the smokes are fucky
It is psyker shield but different flavour
mhm
Honestly I can still see through smoke pretty well when I’m in it, I’m surprised you can’t.
More so difficult when I’m outside of it
not really in the smoke I guess, I'm pretty agressive
so usually far to a flank
or sniping far back
Ahh
after returning
If you’re not inside smoke you get almost nothing out of the thrown smoke
less than nothing
because it blocks sight
again it'd be a nice accessibility option
would be nice if the smokes gave some kinda combat stim
I think sub nodes for grenade options would be dope
if the skill trees werent already so tight on points
Just make smoke counter more specialists
Make it so if you’re inside smoke, bombers can’t throw grenade on u
Mutant & Poxburster lose tracking and stay out
Stuff like that
you start running more and more of a risk of smite 2.0 though
the other problem child darktide has to me
Yea well
I guess it's more limited
vets grenade generation should probably be looked at
it aint loading
I'm guessing its damage related since ep mentioned
I think thats a group of ragers getting shit on
but even outside of the damage its the cc I dislike
It is what it is
its effectively just a combat off button which isn't fun
even if I do recognise it's strong and fun for the psyker I don't really wanna queue up to hit enemies that cant fight back... it aint really engaging
It’s not engaging or fun
exactly why I'd rather the smokes just do something else
maybe give them some heretic dot damage or something idk, something cool
or just a move/attack speed debuff to enemies inside of them
with all the massive buffs its still a worse bubble
Shorter fuse & countering more specialists would be a good start
but I do not want smoke buffed any further
if I could I'd rather have another offensive grenade
for what niche though
Make field engineer veteran dlc a reality
you already have great aoe and great single target
AT mines as blitz, deployable barbed wire as ult
tbf an empower psionics type keystone for grenades? would have went hard
make tripmines or something
instead we got marksmans focus 

marksman focus because exe wasnt jank enough on its own
exec stance... my beloved
not sure how marksmans focus got so fucked up
meant for precision shooting
real usage = full auto weapons
It was design failure from day one
say it aint so
Exe stance wouldn’t be so bad
If it didn’t have the worst pathing in vet tree
I don't think it's bad? straight out of survivalist, a lot of the nodes in the bottom left are also real good
depends on the build
totally needed 4 nodes on top of that lmao
I too, enjoy having my gun’s breakpoints taken away because something stepped within 8m of me
There anyway to replicate this? Have a burst fire pistol seems dope.
okay you got me there the nodes are fucked
okay that's not really the strength of the node though
it's boss damage
pew pew
neither longshot nor killzone are good nodes
Worst pathing by far
also 10% crit on the first 10% of shots is like.. fine, if you're using las weapons
8m really is not that far
if the boss is focusing someone else you don't need to build for giga boss damage
marksman further down
its a win more build
Right side has a 5% crit node that works all the time for both melee & ranged and doesn’t have weird conditions attached
- exec stance + dash back on boss approach
you can do insane damage
like kill a boss with the cowboy revolver in 1 drum
It’s just by far the worst pathing in vet tree
I mean yeah
not saying the right side is bad, just the left aint so bad
It is comparatively much worse than middle & right
I do fucking love grenadier on the right side
middle tree ehhh
but I think that's because I've gone off of shout
more a pref thing
Demo stock, tinkerer
Meanwhile left top only good talent is catch a breath
It does that without any of the left nodes
not without exec stance?
gun has crazy unyielding and you have focus mark as veteran
anybody up for a game?
maybe exe makes it guaranteed
Both Killzone and opening salvo need changes
but going middle path on agri revolver
makes for a much safer build
thats more than a gimmick
how do I know? Agri revo is my most popular gun
catch a breath is good though it's competition node is like... worthless, no stun immunity and stamina when toughness broken
I guess that'd make blocking in melee feel less awful?
but I don't really block
No it’s just not good
you use stamina for pushing and deadshot
No it isn't
Whereas catch a breath is literally toughness regen out of coherency
Let's put an example
Mk4 ilas has about 100 bullets in mag
Takes 2 bullets to shoot
So effectively 50 shots
70 shots at max without shock trooper
catch a breath feels unneccessary on proper builds
on exe build you might need it though
because again exe is baby mode ult
It’s not necessary most of the time, but it helps a lot in last man standing
At max, I took the easier one to calculate
Doesn't it disable itself the moment you enter combat?
I mean the mk2 recon has 100 and takes only 1 to shoot, also that 10% increased crit isn't effectively one shot because you have base crit + other crit modifiers + crit procs being multiple shots that all increase the ammount. also you don't reload aftera full empty mag, so that 10% is closer to 1/3 of your total shots depending on how tense things get
Whenever you’re in combat you have melee toughness regen & confirmed kill
It allows u to challenge shooters in last man standing
Without having to pop VoC just for toughness
It's 5 shots that aren't getting used on ilas
IF it's crit
It also means that you can stray from ur team and still get toughness because none of them is getting plasteel
valid
see I do not have this need because I either run WS or focus mark, both of which have nutty toughness replenish nodes
Only on exe do I feel the need
I'd have to record one of my games but I think I could get through a whole damnation auric hisg without any ammo pickups with the mk2
crits not using ammo is huge
and thats not really being reserved
thats haha exec stance shoot everything that glows
You can’t tag shooters & stalkers with focus target
there would need to be 50 of them for me to be concerned
I'm a veteran not a psyker
unless I fucked up really badly in which case sure
It helps, that’s all
absolute worst case where you're having to do all of the heavy lifting, and all I had to grab was 3 lights with both mediums wasting ammo over the max
opening salvo good
maybe super build specific
but not useless
also exec stance boss damage lmao
No, you’d grab 5% crit because it doesn’t need survivalist
I don't think hellbores need it considering the ammo efficiency
I mean the 10% crit is also not the worst if you're using the zarona
like I said situational but strong
also mk2 laspistol my beloved
10% melee dmg -> agile engagement -> move speed aura -> 5% crit chance
Zarona users tend to be WS builds from my experience
one of my favourite weapons
It’s so strong it’s like why wouldn’t u pick it
yeah for sure but if you're wanting to avoid it for something like... boss damage
then 10% + deadshot
it's not the worst
given you only need 2 crits to kill a crusher
or 1 with exec stance
I meant the one perk with 10% ammo being 10% more likely to be crits is bad
It is
Exe stance just has bad pathing
Shocktrooper is good but not for Hellbores and stuff
even if we say both of the nodes are trash
Helbore I’d take shock trooper because u don’t need survivalist on that gun either
exec stance is still worth it
I am not sure about shocktrooper being unnecessary for Ilas
It’s not so worth it that it’s worth taking 1 out of 2 bad nodes for it when there’re much better talents positioned elsewhere
and the more you can shoot, the less you need to conserve
depends on the gun imo
Other nodes win because they got better talents
any gun that is good hipfire is going to benefit from it the most
plus the damage boost
is no joke
it's significant
it's the glass cannon ability
Yea there’re like 2 guns that want exe stance
Maybe 3
Generally 2
Not mk7 headhunter
exec stance has a pretty unique property of making mid guns
Not recons either
petter
I dont run recon or mk7 with exec stance
Only 2 specific guns want exe stance
Mk7 im shouting and recons i’m sneaking
why wouldnt you, it helps make the one shot breakpoint on mk7 way more consistently
It should already lol
plus the damage boost and hipfire accuracy boost are huge steroids to the recons
Surgical DA
Because mk7 can get all of its breakpoints without exe stance
Deadshot
Is mg12 one of them? :)
unfortunately
relying on crits ehhh also then stamina use
Yes 
(Relying)
It’s not rng
And it’s a single shot
its rng if you're shooting quick enough no?
Just grab duck and dive if that scares you
Opening salvo ain’t helping either
exe doodoo
Crit 1 headshot is only for flamer and even then you could shoot twice very rapidly
Exe stance doesn’t make it suddenly able to non-crit 1HS flamer without other buffs
If you are shooting quick dont go mk7 just go CIAG
opening salvo is nice for hitting one taps without exec stance though where it would be wasteful, also the nature of it's hipfire combo well with opening salvo
first shit is pinpoint accurate
Vraks 7 is a 1 tap gun that can rapid 2 tap if the 1 tap doesn’t kill
But it doesn’t need exe stance to work
U can get all of its major breakpoints without
of course it does
also without other buffs which you will always have
you dont need opening salvo active to one shot flamers with exec stance
With deadshot it means waiting for even less surgical stacks
I literally just now tested it
Have what
It’s missing like 600~700 dmg to flamer 1 headshot without crit
Why go exec stance just to use subpar blessings
Fuck
no, it's just the strength it gains from exec stance is huge
It really isn’t
Exe stance doesn’t magically give u 700 more dmg on Vraks 7 to get a non-crit flamer 1HS
What meaningful breakpoints does exec give that you can’t get elsewhere easier
Ie focus target
the marksman node is what does
I like exe stance with lasguns :)
I like clicking heads :)
(Mg12 main)
10s
It gains very little because it already doesn’t need exe to hit breakpoints so it’s just a “kill things harder” ability
Marksman doesn’t give it either
im literally
doing it in
the psykanium
right now
Longshot?
Yea, if you run maniac on Vraks 7 which it doesn’t need
Mg12 is the exception, mg12 needs exec stance sadly
yeah but why wouldnt you be? also it's not long shot from a massive range
I mean that's fair but without it ragers aren't really all that nice of a kill
Skill issue my mg12 oneshots stuff without marksman focus AND exec stance because I got extremely lucky
and I dislike not being able to fuck up ragers very quickl
yeah this is the big problem with exe, it used to be required with how weak so many weapons were (also we didnt have a choice with no talent tree at the time) but now that theres been so many buffs and alternative, easier, and more versatile ways to gain damage buffs exe stance isnt a good pick
Mk7 HH doesnt benefit from exec stance nor is it a good marksman weapon either imo
only for niche stuff
And by doesnt benefit
Buff Mg12 damage please fatshark
I mean I'm gonna post it again
this is exec stance recon
you can say it's not good
but numbers do not lie
It doesnt need exec to hit breakpoints that would otherwise be impossible to hit
it's absurd
Ive hit 800k with pre buff chain axe
fucking love big numbers
total damage is a bad stat though
since most damage is done to pox walkers
only numbers that matter are elite/disablers/specials killed
and ammo used I guess
i think this is my biggest number
Recon only benefits from exe’s +25% dmg
The +25% weakspot dmg matters very little for recon, and recon general baseline got improved
big number activates brain neurons
It’s literally just recon and holding down m1
Imo focus target build would do roughly the same thing
thems big numbers gad damn
this is with MF Mg4 las
on a cooldown, with pinging
the superior iLas
Like
also part of es is that it improves accuracy
Focus target has no cooldown
With recons
open up the psykanium and hipfire with and without it
its stacks do?
Anyone who thinks focus target has a cooldown is using it wrong
sure it has no cooldown but its less effective the more often you use it
Focus target has a minimum refresh mechanic
also you can take both
Improved accuracy with the most accurate hoses in the game
If u kill the enemy within 2s of tag, it gets reset to 2 stacks
You said marksman exec mk7
So you’re very literally meant to tag & kill as fast as u possibly can
pure laser beam
i dont care about accuracy for the mk7
Mk7 doesn’t need accuracy either
You’re never supposed to wait for stacks
Imo agri brauto uses exec better than mk7
mk2 recon las I do though, lets you move while being 100% accurate
And FT is usually taken for breakpoints
it's just an aim dif at that point
Already is one xd
U take FT + redirect fire because u play plasma / helbore
because you'll never get fucked by spread
idk I don't think the buffs are insignificant
and the alternatives I don't massively care fore
yeah
it's not a great deal but at distance its enough to make headshots not headshots
Why are you hipfiring
It is notable, it’s just not so good that it’s worth taking 1 of 2 bad talents to get to it
That goes back to subpar play to justify talents
aint no way you don't see the benefits
AINT NO WAY YOU BELIEVE THAT
When you could get much better nodes elsewhere in the tree
I use a little bit of recon on psyker now
hipfire is superior movement and better vision
I use baby bubble shieldd and brain burst
You dont ads mk7 you dont ads recons
and throw recon vld in there
it's just harder to aim but if you can aim there is no downside
The movement penalty from walking to aiming is so small
It doesn’t matter
Lol
my only problem is my psyker build is the very low base stamina lol
always feel like I need to throw one stam curio
What are you on
dodge penalty
it fucks with your sights
Darktide tries extremely hard not to be tunnelvision
with I guess isn't a problem if you're using a crosshair mod that lets you project
also hipfire has inate suppression resistance
Well thankfully im not paralyzed so i just, adjust my aim when dodging and aiming
This is not true
You literally have suppression immunity right below exec stance
it is literally true, suppression only knocks your aim if you are ads
Again, this is not true
yeah right between two far better talents
Dude just belial up in here
1 less skill point is one more point somewhere else
I mean if you wanna show you're working I'm listening
but you don't have a suppression issue if you hipfire
its part of why the plasma guns so degen
Not going through killzone/opening salvo into exe stance saves just enough points to grab it actually
it's just built into the gun
This is again, not true
if you want to run shout
it is true go in the psykanium and watch
you're still 100% accurate under fire
Yea I’m gonna record
Plasma is very specifically suppression immune baseline
Most guns are not
wdym the wording has tripped me up here
Like i main agri brauto since launch vet
Certain guns are immune to suppression by default
Laspistol for life
yes that is... what I'm saying?
You claimed mk7 hh and recons as well xd
mk 10 
No, u said hipfire is not affected by suppression, which is not true
never said anything about that, only hipfire
which is true for both weapons
Only 3 non-Ogryn guns are completely immune to suppression
Feels so satisfying to use
I've one tapped gunners before while being suppressed with the hipfire on the mk7
the first shot of a sequence
is 100% accurate
always
Hipfiring recons so you have mroe spread so you get the ability that reduces your spread 100% move of all time
Or you just use it as a DMR and pop heads with surgical
watch crosshair
yes, but that doesn't really matter
because your firing is hitting
I’m just disproving what you’re saying, which is that hipfire is always suppression immune
get yourself a mk7 out, mid range
It’s not
I got a better idea
I double tap dodge
And then i shoot them in the head
I don't think a crosshair wobbling is really enough evidence to convince me when I've literally seen the 100% accurace of the mk7 while being suppressed
unless there is something fucky
specifically about that gun
vraks 7
actually fire a shot
on the enemy
compare it with ads
it's just significantly better
Sneezet
You’re not wrong about Vraks 7 having a perfect hipfire 1st shot accuracy
I simply don’t see the point of hipfiring
I dont have issues aiming
Hell even if i go straight mid tree and don’t get suppression immunity
However
I have 0 issue moving head to head
hipfiring is the same as aiming? except slightly harder
hipfiring is cool.
This perfect 1st shot Hipfire accuracy
because zoomed out
also hipfiring is cool
also you have a higher fov
which means you can see more
Hipfiring doesnt proc surgical or deadshot
Is only available when the crosshair is not expanded from suppression
I have the highest fov setting already
I mean its 6 and 2 3s
you either take those and aim
When it is expanded, you don’t have perfect hipfire accuracy
or you don't and dont
Which part of dmg is melee and what is ranged
It should be like this
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1046912126746374274/1231747500193615912/20240422101929_1.jpg?ex=669069c0&is=668f1840&hm=a4cfa2cc82f8fbea743e78d4bb2c7c568c6ec002c9accaf24b026be340c5d11b&
If i wanted to hipfire
so the suppression is just fucky?
Id play plasma or brauto
Again, I’m just telling u that it can be affected by suppression
not sure, either that's an updated ver of the mod
BRAUTO GANG
or some settings tweaked
That's just leaderboard
It’s not like Zarona’s Hipfire where it’s actually completely unaffected by suppression
I didnt add anything to the scoreboard just removed some stuff I thought was pointless to track
meanwhile the zarona in suppression
Yea Zarona ads gets suppressed hard, but hipfire is completely immune
shame the hipfires not ideal
is the laspistol hipfire also immune or what
because the actual firing accuracy is unchanged regardless of suppression
well
minimal suppression is not immunity
laspistol & helbore both have minimal suppression
wait as a question
are you going entirely off of the crosshair?
or do you have some more substancial reasoning for believing the hipfire is affected
out of context i love this clip
because I don't think I've ever missed a mk7 shot while in suppression
but if it is innacurate a slight amount of the time there should be missed shots
I got a miss just now while testing
However
Because it’s like
Only a fraction of a second where it’s expanded
It’s hard for me to time it in a recording
gunner: hehehe i love my big gun
you:
Like on my leaderboard it's understandable that most of my dmg came from ilas 1a and not melee
are you certain
I just did 10 runs at mid range and not one miss
Okay bad example because ilas 1a is a good gun
might be too small of a sample size but
I can try to record again

most kills outside of poxwalkers on my scoreboard are using the recon
outside of a couple ranged and melee elites and a handful of disablers
it might be down to timing
but I'm not really convinced
also if you switch back to your laspistol and hipfire down range
you'll see the spread doesn't noticeably increase on any of your shots
while under the effects of suppression
first shot miss (expanded crosshair)
2nd shot hit proves that if the first shot wasn't expanded spread it would have hit
im pretty sure that's just you missing chief
no
he sways off to the side
2nd shot hit
yes because his head is moving
I didn't fire at him before this 1st shot
shot 1 misses as he sways to the right
shot 2 connects a she sways back
you can see his whole shoulders shifting even if its unclear on the head
My guy the dot is literally pinpoint on his head
is it on his head? right on the very edge maybe
taken as close as I could before the shot
also at this range your crosshair is 1/4th the area of his head
or a lil below that
also gross you can see the crosshair has square edges
whyy
It is perfect 1st shot hipfire accuracy so it goes directly to the dot is aimed at
yeah I just don't think the shot connected
I mean it's pretty melty on the pixels but you can see it's right on the edge and he'd be moving more to the right
there's enough uncertainty there
I doubt because in my experience I've never missed that and thought "man I should have hit there"
The dot is right on edge so his helmet
though the game does steal your shots ...
yeah I'm not... I get that the helmet is included
this screenshot is as close as I could get with play+pause to before the shot
and he's moving off to the left
part of your crosshair is already not on his helmet
For the most part u can say that it’s very accurate
With some uncertainty on very long range shots under continuous suppression from multiple gunners
besides this anyway, I feel the laspistol not gaining any additional spread while being suppressed already shows that theres not really an increase if at all
compared to ads
which is quite noticeable
yeah especially when compared to the zarona
There’re only 5 non-Ogryn gun types that are completely immune to suppression
I guess it needed some weakness
Flamer
Plasma
Combat shotgun
Assault shotgun
Autopistol
flamer makes sense I guess
Wait are y'all still on this
what do you mean by combat and assualt shotguns
They just don’t have any penalty on accuracy when they get suppressed
No extra sway, no extra spread
ah I see, I'm not used to their names
Nothing
I forget the new shotgun has a new naim
How do you suppress a shotgun
while ads also? god damn
yeah and the assualts the new one
I didn't know they were immune to suppression on ads though
I knew the hipfire was fine
because I've done similar things to the mk7 with the slug
which is also 100% hipfire accurate for some reason
the whims of FS I guess
not that I'm complaining
All Ogryn guns & psyker staves are suppression immune
yeah though they can't exactly ADS
maybe I've just noticed correlation and assumed it was the rule
but every gun that isn't being affected by suppression does so when not ADS
its because they have high willpower
also honestly maybe the psykers fine with being shot
sounds like a miserable life
or as that one great british general or ... whatever guy once said
"why duck! the shot has already missed you!"
also holy shit... since the psyk was already set up figured I'd test some more stuff
your ads is not accurate while being suppressed
even if you overcome the suppression and have it right on their head
whyyy
On recon, yea
Recon ADS has both +sway and shot deviation when suppressed
All 3 recon lasguns suffer from this
doesn't seem so bad on the recon
though it is sort of a useful example as you can see your shots missing
with the laser tracers
In Soviet Atoma, Comrade Shotgun supresses you
🤤
never gonna happen
rip sustained fire
I think they took it out just because veteran was magdumping Boltgun 30 rounds in 1 go
And Boltgun was turbo broken back then
Or maybe it’s because it would make tac awareness extra busted on exe stance or smth
Keep killing specialists to never have to reload
I mean that was massively pinning fires fault though
they took the baby out with the bathwayer
and then tossed the tub
If exe stance has auto reload rn I think I’d play Boltgun more
the pinning fire nerf was enough
I mean it's about the only thing that makes the boltgun itself fun for me because of the ads stability and making breakpoints
i liked the get toughness back fron sustained fire, i could have regen tg on ul like my zealot or psyker
I'm sure I could get a build together that regularly one taps all the specialists but I'm not sure I care enough to do so when exec stance exists, click head head head head
I think the main drawback of exec stance is the fact it gives you no safety
even stealth gives all your toughness
god its so satisfying until you remember alot of other weapons do that exact same thing
boltguns so sad in this game, at least they nailed the sound
funny because that exact set up is what you need to kill exactly one pox hound 
magdump > go stealth > reload > magdump
mag dump is just too ammo expensive
maybe its not so bad now with the ammo increase
from 80/100 reserve to 100/125
exe tree is wierd when itys the only keystone in vet's arsenal that doesnt give you stamina and work with deadshot kek
you don't magdump a horde
unless it's a horde of crushers
yknow that is.. so true.. actually
wtf its literally in the vet tree
ammo increase kinda thrw that out of the window and magdumping a boss is pretty much worth it
fs: best we can do is adding ANOTHER node to exec stance 
especialyl when your team is a idiot
thank u brunt, very cool
3mag-ing a boss is pretty worth it
i play bolter zealot most of the time, i don't feel bad about magdumping on bosses on crushers... in can still snipe reliably
yeah though honestly vet has so many options for boss damage
they're chilling
many weapons and kraks if nothing else in your kit is good at it
the mk6 power sword push does too much damage to bosses
eh
its ludicrous
thank u brunt, very cool (again)
idiots trying to use
well yeah you need to learn how to cancel draw and do the ads reset thingy
plasma span and somehow dealing less damage than me
I mean as zealot it's kinda one of your better options for dealing with them at range
even though they're tanky af to bolter shells
plasma just isn't really great for bosses
it's not terrible
like its fine
i use a shattering carapace bolter when going momentum
it helps a fucking lot
that actually sounds pretty good
I havent really experimented with the bolter much on zealot
cavalcade is for piety only
but now all my other weapons on zealot are bricked...
I should give it a go
Dance of death + duellist
what weapon is this
yeah I found out recently duellist applies to ranged attacks
yeah, pretty much
EV15 + Boltgun
for whatever reason my head totally skipped it as an option
oh it says right there -_-
the mk 15 evis feels so much better than the og
and I already loved the og
it just.. got a straight upgrade
I can't get behind them
they don't really feel that much better at killing single targets
also them being one handed
is so sad
Mk4 Chainaxe post-buff is prob the best chain weapon in this game
what was it buffed again
I've seen some vets take em but not really been convinced
though most auric players are... not great
Rev H1 tweaked for easier weakspot hit, heavy attacks’ cleave profile improved, chain rev lights reduce camera snaring, smth like that
Forgot full details
But it’s basically the best chain weapon rn
boltgun bad right
Purely because it’s the only chain weapon with a single target moveset that has low risk
I mean yesnt
it's not bad
honestly outside of it's infested damage being stupidly low, and it's sway being way too high
they're pretty good
idk cause it still feels sluggish
but very good regardless
i use it it on momentum relic build
but if you know what you can do, and you don't try to use it for something else... well it works
I'd use the taxe if I could hold lmb to keep swinging, honestly it's just tiring on your finger compared the the rashad. I had to install a mod to use the laspistol because my meds at the time made clicking with it kill my joints
They’re better on zealot than on veteran
maybe I'll give em a go, since rashad is currently best axe and vet uses that better
Rashad is best melee overall
i have no probleme with the taxe but yeah i find laspistol tiring,.. but i alsmost never spam lights
probably gonna try the new shock mauls out first though, they seem dope just have no coins to buy em
spent all my coins testing with the bolt pistol and bolt gun
I use the full auto mod regardless. Having to spam clicks that much is stupid by any metric
The thing with chainaxe tho is that they can actually 1 shot crushers without FotF for zealot
And u can light spam on mk4 for single target
for reaaal its horrible
using the special though I'm guessing?
And zealot has +stagger talents so u can reach stagger breakpoint for breaking rager combo
Rev H1 with enough +power stacks yea
U want headtaker + slaughterer on it
meanwhile psyker with mk4 dueling almost one shotting crushers on crit
And carapace I believe
What
shout works as well as a combo breaker
On vet? Yea but that’s using an ability
Having an option to break rager combo without using ability is good
with uncanny strikes
yeah fuck them
i shout and just destroy them on the floor
you might be able to actually hit the break point for one shotting crushers with a crit.. though you'd likely have to build for it specifically
yeah but 3 is not the problem
not really worth it when you can just heavy again
A lot of them yea use ability
it's 3+ and + is other ragers or a horde
i mean, i can solo up to 5 ragers with a claw
in the psyk
in real game, yeah fuck that
god the fucking... double swing... on the ragers is so fucking annoying
This is somehow the most effective way to deal with them
How does the push attack stagger them
I hate it here
Rashad op?
Joe Smyker
you have to spot the attack, vlock the first then immediately parry
It just does 
What a Chad weapon
Decently strong with attack speed
but easier to roll
that's your average joe combat axe
what even is the push attack for antax
Quick slash, horizontal
Swipe
trying to get the perfect rashad cost me millions
same as the rashad then no?
It comes out a bit faster than Rashad but not by much
moar dmg
Rashad is smack with blunt edge
It's less horizontal
Antax is a slash
ahh I see
hows the rashad costing you millions
its one of the easiest weapons to get
since you dont even need the t4 blessings
they're marginally stronger than t3s
you want the blessings and the modifiers and the perks
Because u need
High stats in first target, penetration, finesse & dmg
+unarmored dmg perk
Brutal momentum
Headtaker
2nd perk preferably carapace
how like... tight on stats are you? perfect rolls 370+ kinda stats or?
If u haven’t realized that’s 4/5 high stats, 3/4 specific roll with the 4th having a BiS
i have 80*4 with bm4, ht3 and flak + whatever on zealot
You need high roll in all 4 Dmg related stats, mainly first target & penetration
I've rasHad enough of god rolling items
But u also need 2 specific blessings and 1 specific perk
Or it doesn’t function nearly as good as it should
Iirc it might be easier to build rashad for zealot?
stability and collateral don't matter, mobility high enough for the 4th dodge, pretty good for a 303 lol
But it's very tight for vet
one of the few weapons I actually got out pretty well
it is
i am wainting for the crafting rework
I dont think unarmored is massively imporant though
Damn
No unarmored
It unfortunately is
Because it’s for scab bruiser 1HS
Rashad is hard because it’s breakpoint minmax hell
ah I mean, I'm never really fucking with those guys in melee and when I am light spam does fine
You can do
Leagues better
how many pox walkers does it actually add per swing
fire team chad + melee dmg + precision strikes nerd unite!
Also wdym you're not fuckig with scab bruisers in melee
They're like as common as a pox walker
Rashad wants unarmored for easier 1 light kill vs them so u kill 4 per swing and end up with like 20 bruisers (where most other melee weapons struggle) dead in 5 swings
bruisers are a fucking pain
I'm already thinking the weapon is absurd in the state I have it... if it gets significantly better than that then jesus christ 
Obviously you get to choose what enemies you fight 
You need it for scab brusiers
Because it turns from you killing 1 scab brusier
0 cleabe
Into 4 scab brusiers
I mean if that's all I'm gaining then meh
In one swing
I mean why wouldn't it be meh if the alternative is easy!
It's why you have the melee weapon in the first place
Because melee kills them faster than gun does
Because it has insane cleave and a strong BP on a crusher
It's okay just get the other 3 players to deal with bruisers, it's a team game 
a horde of bruisers is real pain and real dangerous
that's true
because if you don't kill them fast they will tank you
and fuck you or drain your stam
I just don't think you actually want to shoot most melee trash mobs
Scab bruiser included
people complained too hard on that
until the trappers or the dogs come
I mean ragers specifically dredge ragers got buffed
not even though they got easier to kill after that patch
because their health was reduced
More attack speed
this was recent
Doesn't matter if you use plasma
I'm talking many many moons ago
Yes the hp changss
I use more than just the plasma gun
currently my vet has 8 different weapons for ranged that are kitted
thats the one
I will admit
they could spawn in some pretty goofy numbers...
but I thought it was funny
they were a joke enemy after that change for ages
they also attack faster 😌
and they're still not ideal
The current Dreg ragers need spawn reduced
Just kill them faster then!!
looks like a MHW weapon
though I am a bit of a sadist, I enjoyed the mad gunner damage we had
oh lmao, it's the weapon customization mod. changed it to this for a bit as a meme
it looks like a funny pirate hand
when you're holding it
no hand, big blade instead
RushB
I've heard the shovels are pretty dope but
honestly I'm not really seeing what they bring that other weapons dont
I guess I should probably build one of the funny one shot mega thrust shovels
but the regular ones seem kinda eh... not bad just no real strong identity
Low point cost for sharpshooter builds and doesn’t struggle vs a specific Armor type besides unyielding
That's it's whole deal, also decent defense
However the new shock mauls are kinda just better?
Huh
I guess that's fair, though if I wanted to knock poxwalkers down and not kill them I'd use a thunder hammer 
Shovel smooving
also wow that's actually kinda fun
ducking and weaving
I'm glad the weapons we got this patch are all generally pretty good
bolt pistol was top of my list for weapon inclusions forever
I know a lot of people were not happy at getting shovels constantly
lmao
what
+1 from a skill?
Not 6?
Veteran does not have +dodge count skill, that’s psyker
I definitely recall 6
max 5
still 5 is quite high
😭
Sus me
5 is standard for melee weapons
Psyker shovel gaming hello?
Psyker doesn't get shovel
Yeah exactly
for scriers gaze shovel
I thought you're tripping
it came to me in a dream
psyker had infinite 😭 😭 😭
Lmao that was too OP for no reason
Anytime you get stuck in a bad situation is time to crab walk to the next room
Almost nothing could touch you
Was that intended
It was intended probably
Psyker doesn't get shovel in tutorial does he?
But do we really know what fatshark intends
do they?
Is close range a bug or intended
Did fatshark intend that one beast of nurgle throwing me off the start of the new map I wonder
In the forums the moderators noted it as "acknowledged" as a bug but the recent hotfix said it was intended
Intended cleave value 
Yea overhead with 10 cleave
Up to 11.1
At 80% crowd control
For you to hit ragers with I guess 

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9c7e90c9-a2b3-49a5-ac58-b99453313003/lp-crit Thoughts on this build? Infil las pistol focused on deadshot, shock trooper and weapon specialist
People also thought assail being affected by uncanny was a feature and not a bug, alas the interactions and many similar were removed
don't really need shock trooper with the laspistol but if you wanna be shooting constantly it won't be the worst, the same with deadshot
Yeah that's true actually since the ammo conservation isn't too bad
Not taking iron will is kinda insane
No way
yeah I agree, sorta depends you can save more ammo that way. you don't really need to ads with the laspistol either which means you can save your stamina.
no fucking way
That's why I have infil reduced as much as I can
