Can I drop anything to pick up the “marks all human sized range enemies”? I would like for my stance to last a little longer but I feel like it’s not really

shadow aurora
#

Instantly knowing all shooter locations is already good

#

I agree it’s just not innately in this build

And idk numbers well enough to make that decision of my own accord

You have the mandatory talents needed im ngl

i'm assuming redirect fire is necessary for breakpoints

faint beacon
#

the Elite Increase, Superiority Complex, and Weakspot

faint beacon
#

I would assume such seeing you run Exe Bolter for that reason usually

last parcel
#

and dropping volley fire will make it harder to keep executioner's stance up for longer, so it's kinda a net 0 at that point

marble mantle
#

Right I don’t wanna lose reload it’s already slow as balls

marble mantle
#

Would losing precision strikes or marksman hurt more? It’s temporary until they let me know what they think but until then I wanna try n see how this goes

#

Weak spot dmg vs power on weak spot hit for 10s after ability use

faint beacon
#

Precision strikes would hurt more

marble mantle
#

Okay

faint beacon
#

cause its a constant 30% weakspot increase

marble mantle
#

Right yeah

faint beacon
#

it doesn't go away unlike marksman

#

Plus it would assist in boss busting more

tall torrent
#

Because the first thing with exe Boltgun is that you don’t want to use ammo on shooters & stalkers

rigid pilot
#

You kinda need to though, it's not really a choice

tall torrent
#

It’s better to have it up when you need it to snipe groups of elites & specials very fast, than to try to stay in it for a long time

crimson pebble
tall torrent
#

On automatics I’d say it’s worth considering

rigid pilot
#

Probably, bolter already one shots them so you wouldn't need the stance

tall torrent
#

On Boltgun I just wouldn’t

tall torrent
#

It’s also why I take marksman

rigid pilot
#

MF on bolter?

tall torrent
#

U have 10s uptime where u decimate basically everything

tall torrent
rigid pilot
#

Understandable

tall torrent
#

Weakspot hits have +20% power

#

It’s really strong

#

U pop exe stance and just casually 1 tap reaper

rigid pilot
#

Is there any sane person that takes MF on bolter though? KEKW_ogryn

tall torrent
#

Boltgun is a breakpoint gun

#

FT is just better

#

And redirect is better because it means u get to keep 1 tap breakpoints even when exe is not active

#

Exe is just a tool u use to temporarily do turbo dps

#

It’s better to treat exe as a temp mega dps boost than smth u want to stay in for as long as possible as of now

#

And you’ll always run into situations like

#

Mutant charge / burster / hound

#

Where melee is preferred

rigid pilot
#

You won't even take the extension buff?

tall torrent
#

No shooter highlight, no Ogryn highlight, no team share vision

rigid pilot
#

Exe stance is 25% ranged damage and 25% weakspot damage?

tall torrent
#

+25% ranged dmg
+25% ranged weakspot dmg (finesse scaling)
+100% ranged stagger
Stun immunity
Suppression immunity
Non-Ogryn elite/specialist highlight within 50m
Massive ADS sway, recoil & spread reduction

#

It’s a myriad of buffs

#

And then u run marksman with it

#

And just do insane dmg

#

I wish exe had auto reload tho

#

Then Boltgun has a very strict hyper synergy build

#

Where if u run exe stance u not only get turbo dps u also bypass the need for reload speed talents

rigid pilot
#

There's no reason exe doesn't reload

clear lantern
rigid pilot
#

Or have a reload talent node

serene bough
#

since the hold bolter meta used to be around this mechanic

rigid pilot
#

Unless FS thinks that with CDR and short cooldown of exe it will be too powerful

#

I think that bolter meta died long before the talent change update

#

Mainly because pinning fire nerf

tall torrent
rigid pilot
#

They seem very reluctant to budge regarding bolters

#

Even though I never see any vets running it

#

Ever

#

At most I'll see zealots run it

tall torrent
#

Yea it’s not that popular in damnation & auric

#

On vet it’s just turbo point cost for a gun that’s not good enough for that point cost

#

Most popular guns I see are Zarona / Columnus mk5 / recon

rigid pilot
#

You forgot peeegun

tall torrent
#

Plasma is not as popular as those 3 in the lobbies I played

rigid pilot
#

Powersword plasma is all I see

tall torrent
#

It’s a much harder gun to roll than these 3

rigid pilot
#

All around me are familiar faces

tall torrent
rigid pilot
#

I don't think plasma needs any perks or blessings

#

It's just brr

tall torrent
#

Blessings kinda u just need 1

#

But perks u need elite

rigid pilot
#

Just shoot plasma

#

Can't go wrong

#

Pubs don't need BPs anyway they are playing a team game

tall torrent
#

If it’s not hitting 1 taps at all it’s just worse than Zarona in almost every way

marble mantle
#

I kinda thought I’d want to be in it as long as possible

tall torrent
marble mantle
#

Ohhh okay gotcha

clear lantern
#

you're either Rambo with an M60 or the belltower sniper in Saving Private Ryan

marble mantle
#

What weapon would I use for the former?

shadow aurora
#

They just need to let us switch to melee

marble mantle
tall torrent
shadow aurora
#

Not saying it should benefit from the buffs btw

tall torrent
#

Plus the build hits 1 tap breakpoints outside of exe stance

marble mantle
shadow aurora
#

Yeah i know just clarifying

tall torrent
#

So it’s not like not being in exe stance just drops ur killing power by 50%

marble mantle
#

Make it like how fury is now, so we can at least switch without it losing it

shadow aurora
#

If it boosted melee itd be insane

Just run a normal Bolter and kill bosses with one krak and a magdump at that point

So I just wanted to share this magic little number I discovered today.
Double barrel shotgun
Tactical axe
Weapon specialist keystone
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The ranged WS keystone buffs reload speed already and with the both barrels perk you can spam the bad boy as fast as you can click it for 5 seconds.
Then you also have a keystone that reloads 3.3% of ammo ROUNDING UP so you just automatically have a round loaded when you switch. Bounce around with the tac axe, switch for a quick shot with the shotgun to mulch the horde and get 2-5 melee stacks easy and then your back to bouncing with your tac axe.

Seriously this was so much fun and the synergy between it all just felt as smooth as butter!

fading yarrow
#

Redneck serial killer build right there, definitely gonna try it out

#

Got a talent tree or is the keystone all that's needed?

Hm... I've been testing this recon gun I have in the meat grinder and it seems to do decent damage for elites and specials... and my melee weapon can kill a crusher pretty quickly so I think I'm gonna try this and see how I do... I'll probably epicly fail and the team will wipe <.<'

# last parcel you lack faith

I mean... I might... but vt2 has scarred me pretty badly so I know how fast it will go to shit if I go down... Also I at least have the -0.5s stamina regen delay... that has been helping me quite a lot with playing the Vet. I... kinda play the vet like a zealot, lol

MF if you want a challenge lol

I guess I'll grab Desperado, Weapons Specialist, and... well... either longshot or the +25 toughness. Not sure which I want more, yet

is death spitter and fire frenzy any good for autoguns? ive been thinking of changing one out for a dumdum round

Deathspitter over fire frenzy

glad mango

im pretty new at the game so im still figuring things out lol

#

alright

coral willow
#

mostly cause deathspitter doesnt have reduced damage on ranged

#

how much level is DS?

#

just dont change it for a bit

shadow aurora
glad mango
#

its 2

#

i figure itd be better to get that stacking power at close since its a little higher in % boost

coral willow

then change DS to dumdum 3/4

#

👍

glad mango
#

alright thanks

Now this is more like it. We won the damnation mission, instead of losing right at the end like me and my last team did on hab dreyko(it didn't help that it was my 1st time doing the new hab dreyko tree area event)

mortal horizon
#

ok the double barrel with weapon master and constantly hot swapping to load an ammo in is SO MUCH FUN on vet damn.
but 2 things.

  1. I have to drop to tier 4 auric for it to feel "good". It just falls short and many things dont die as nicely as I want them to on 5 aurc/maelstrom.
  2. When constantly hot swapping with weapon master, and able to swap back and forth between 2 melee swings super quick to load 2 rounds in...double barrel feels...useless? overkill? Manstopper feels good for the pen however. I feel like it doesn't need Double Barrel...

What would be better for first shot damage to up my breakpoints or something instead of double barrel? I feel like flechette may just be best for fire and forget hot swapping but idk. Deathspitter wont stack nicely when taking 1 shot and swapping, neither will scatter shot unless i do 2 back to back shots. Unless it will...doesntthe buff stays through swapping?

midnight totem
#

using agile engagement?

#

scatter shot does stay through swapping though

crimson pebble
#

Thats something im also having happen w the bolt pistol it feels really proper at heresy but just barly doesnt 1 tap a lot of stuff at damnation maybe placebo

crimson pebble
coral willow
#

you kinda want manstopper to gain full advantage of the stupid damage

#

2nd part is actually getting the crit since outside of WS thats quite hard to do

#

im thinking about running runngun for decreased spread but zealot also has the dodge

zenith helm
#

guys what perks and blessings am i looking for on an evi 15?

coral willow
#

rampage+savage/wrath

#

if you like crits probably rampage+shred idk

zenith helm
#

ty

midnight totem
#

so crit from weapon specialist, reload or swap back, scattershot will be there for your next shots if you just reload or if you don't build enough weapon specialist stacks

mortal horizon
#

it just feels like with lots of hot swapping and the free ammo, double barrel isnt needed. I could drop Always prepared - it but it only gets me 1 point, and its kinda nice. Im thinking maybe manhunter/scattershot is better for the ability to get more consistant crits when swapping quickly (not getting 4-5 stacks of weapon specialist)

#

i also have some issues with bulwarks with the build and thinking maybe i should swap to krak grenades

midnight totem
#

krak grenades are always nice, but I like frags with the shotgun because it can give you more breathing space to reload

#

also deal with ranged gunners

crimson pebble
#

You can also just forgo reloading entirely by just getting melee kill switch to gun dont shoot get and get another melee kill

mortal horizon
#

ya true

mortal horizon
#

which is why double barrel feel meh

#

so im trying to think about what the best blessing otherwise would be

crimson pebble
mortal horizon
#

i guess full bore good for boss dmg, close range elite killing

#

ya i like full bore now that i think about

#

scatter shot maybe too

#

ok 1 more question for now, if using stealth - i never do im a shout guy but wanna try it.
are there any must-have augments?

#

surprise attack seems good...and overwatch? is the cooldown worth the +1 charge

#

also hunters resolve seems nice, 10s is a long time

#

its just very point intensive

crimson pebble
#

I usually do all of them but hunters resolve

mortal horizon
#

low profile too?

#

damn i just cant find that extra point lol

#

oir 2

crimson pebble
#

Because if you do low profile which is my preferred theirs not rlly a point in hunters resolve as nearly everythings going to just run past and not attk anyway

mortal horizon
#

i feel like grenade regen is a must have, and if i go krak nades it only frees up 1 point

crimson pebble
#

This is my go to with double barrel and knife rn

mortal horizon
#

im using rashad or ps6 but knife is good i usually use knife on zealot

crimson pebble
#

I have precog and mercy killer on mine if i wanted to use uncanny itd let me pull a point off the bleed node

mortal horizon
#

i always uncanny on knife but again on zealot

#

interesting tho thanks ill look at your version

My weapons finally do damage, I'm getting emotional

#

knife has a bonus i forgot

somber axle
#

Rending affects your ADM (armour damage modifier). Crit is affected by finesse. Weakspot hits are also affected by finesse. Crit and weakspot hits can both receive their bonuses simultaneously toward a single strike for even more damage

indigo mural
#

What's a finesse

#

I have the finesse

somber axle
#

The value your weapon does as a multiplier when critting or hitting a weakspot

indigo mural
#

A-ha, oke

somber axle
#

your knife should have finesse as a stat

#

you can view it in the inspect screen by hovering over the bar for more info

#

oh also since I already copied the rending stuff I'm sharing it anyway

indigo mural
#

a-ha

somber axle
#

Say your weapon has an ADM (armour damage modifier) of 0.5 vs Carapace. Every shot is doing half damage. If you get 10% rending it means now you do 60% damage instead of 50%. But this can translate into more than just a 10% damage increase depending on the weapon and damage value. Say your gun normally does 100 damage per shot but only does 50 vs Carapace. The 10% rending pushes that to 60 damage instead. But that's a 20% damage increase going from 50 to 60

# indigo mural A-ha, oke

note that the bonus is only based on the difference between a regular hit and weakpoint hit, so it's not straight up 55% extra damage here

somber axle
#

Rending is only important if the improved ADM helps hit a breakpoint

indigo mural
#

Hmmm okay

#

good to know

somber axle
#

But rending is also heavily affected by a soft cap where, after you hit 1.0 ADM (100% damage done to an armour type) every +10% rending over that is only +1% damage

lusty sapphire
somber axle
#

You want first target, finesse, damage and penetration high (in that order) though uncanny alleviates stress off of penetration somewhat

#

so that's still a solid stat roll even if penetration is low

#

you've got uncanny IV

I’m always using uncanny + precog, reposte, or flesh tearer

somber axle
#

personally I love Mercy Killer most but you need Serrated Blade to make it work

#

Uncanny is the mandatory blessing

#

after that you can do Precog, Riposte, Mercy Killer, Executor at your discretion

I mean, am already pretty happy with this ngl

#

I would use my knife vet is the performance wasn't so shocking

#

I just dont understand

#

Even when it drops to 60 fps it looks worse, cuz when I play lego stars wars the complete saga at 60 fps its smooth

#

I seriously dont understand whats wrong with my game but there shouldnt be any issues

frank ether
#

your input lag is more important than the fps

dreamy spade
#

Why would I have input lag

frank ether
#

could be many reasons but one common one is

#

if the GPU is pushing itsef to the absolute limit

#

it will make the game really sluggish even if the fps is relatively high

dreamy spade
#

Nah its definitely my cpu that is bottleneck, when my gpu maxes out it coilwhines

frank ether
#

well its your problem

#

if you can't make sure I can't help

dreamy spade
#

My monitor refresh rate is 165 hz with low response and gsync
I turned down all cpu intensive settings, and low audio settings
Turned on vsync and nvidia low latency + boost
I average 90 fps but it so variable

AND MY GAME IS SO LAGGY

#

My wifi is also at least 200 mbps upload and download

#

And all my other games run perfectly fine

#

There was a brief period where darktide ran amazing for me, butterly smooth, and then after the big update it was back to normal again

frank ether
#

was this brief period happening during when they broke enemy spawns

Mods? None

Ah nvmd you said your CPU was the bottleneck

dreamy spade
#

I tried different core number

thorn lark
#

And frame rate cap?

dreamy spade
#

I tried borderless

thorn lark
#

And reflex?

#

Assuming you run nvidia

dreamy spade
#

Reflex + boost, gsync, vsync

thorn lark
#

I run without reflex boost and vsyinc perf was noticeably worse with

sharp epoch
#

i dont think reflex boost even affects you that much vs off

#

but vsync does add noticeable input lag

dreamy spade
#

Weird

#

When I play on cs2 it gives less lag

#

But the fact I have to check all this when the game literally came with my gpu and I have 13th gen i5 is crazy

#

How did you guys complete the "on overwatch" penance

thorn lark
#

What's your GPU?

frank ether
#

for your setup

thorn lark
#

What's your resolution?

bitter turtle
dreamy spade
thorn lark
#

Also what's your temps?

frank ether
#

if you want high refresh gaming you need to pair with high end cpu/ram

bitter turtle
#

run laspistol with ghost so you become immune to bullets

#

and then infiltrate

#

so you can steatlh when you do get hit

dreamy spade
#

They reach target so like 60-70°

bitter turtle
#

at full toughness

#

you dont bleed any hp damage

#

for 1 hit

#

so u can always mash infil the moment you hear a hit

and clear fine

#

Only 400mhz made that much of a difference?

#

Also hate that companies advertise speeds but you have to force the hardware to actually go that speed

#

Like monitors will say 1ms response time but if you actually do that you get tonnes of ghosting

#

So the conclusion is you need 3600mhz ram speed to actually play darktide 👍

rigid pilot
coral willow
#

its still decent cause you could just light 4 times on body and go stab the mauler instead

or since uncanny doesnt get removed like executor just mix in body and headshot

4 times in the head

im thinking unironically run n gun bistol might be good

shadow aurora
#

Even if it is good

#

It has a lot of competition

bitter turtle
#

it really doesnt

#

i dont think surgical is very good on bistol

shadow aurora
#

Im not talking about surgical

bitter turtle
#

then what

#

puncture?

shadow aurora
#

Im forgetting the names fs gimme a second

#

Ughh

fiery wave
shadow aurora
#

All great choices is youre running wep specialist

#

If youre not

bitter turtle
#

its the opposite imo

#

point blank is not very good if you are ru nning wep specialist

#

its only 3.5 seconds

#

and your first shot is already guaranteed to be a crit

shadow aurora
#

Then surgical should be good

bitter turtle
#

DA is a no brainer ofc

#

puncture is

#

idk

#

i just did a few games with it

#

honestly i dont think it really matters a whole lot

shadow aurora
#

Puncture has caught me a few kills I wouldve missed

bitter turtle
#

i felt times where "man I wish I could sprint while firing" more than i felt "wow that 2 tick sof bleed killed that guy"

#

yea

#

but close range damage can gap it too

shadow aurora
#

Maybe its just my bias. Trying to sprint and shoot feels weird

#

But i dont think its as effective personally

bitter turtle
#

i mean

#

we are comparing to puncture

#

which is already borderline meme

#

the truth is the 2nd blessing choice for bistol sucks

#

in general

shadow aurora
#

Puncture is good?

bitter turtle
#

puncture literally exists to add 50 dmg so you can 1tap dreg gunners and flamers without longshot

#

it doesnt do anything particularly reliable besides that

shadow aurora
#

It doesn't do anything but meet two really important break pointsangymorrow

bitter turtle
#

yes

#

except you can make it up

#

by spending 1 talent point anyway

#

which is why a lot of people didnt bother with it

hearty panther
#

well, not '50 damage'

#

but yes it does trip some breakpoints

bitter turtle
#

you're like 50 short without it

shadow aurora
#

Long shot is a waste if youre taking weapon specialist and if youre not id just take surgical at that point

hearty panther
#

point blank honestly dunno why its on the bistol

old quail
#

u take surgical so u can look at the boltpistol longer

bitter turtle
#

yea i have no idea why you say point blank is good

#

its no t an agri revolver

hearty panther
#

revo had built in +crit so

bitter turtle
#

u cant magdump your entire thing in 3.5 seconds like agri

hearty panther
#

but just a flat 20% with nothing else isnt really all that great

bitter turtle
#

and on wep specialist the first shot is already gonna crit

#

so thats a waste of 1 second at least

old quail
#

cool conceptually i dont think ill ever need it for anything though

shadow aurora
#

Yeah ok im rethinking that statement and that is dumb idkw i said that

bitter turtle
#

i mean

#

run n gun as someone says

#

also lets you gap that missing bp

#

lol

#

if you fire while sprinting at least

hearty panther
#

yeah i wanted to really like lethal prox and execution lmao

bitter turtle
#

so it really comes down to just puncture or run n gun

shadow aurora
bitter turtle
#

surg is just idk

hearty panther
#

melee! fire! take that, dumb heretic!

shadow aurora
#

Which isnt a big issue

bitter turtle
hearty panther
#

dont sleep on lethal prox

bitter turtle
#

it just scales down on dmg

#

but it starts at 12.5m now

shadow aurora
#

Wait what?

bitter turtle
#

anytime it says

#

"close range dmg"

#

it works like anointed in blood

#

dumdum is the same way

bitter turtle
#

liked lethal prox

#

in a way

bitter turtle
#

just to shoot the bistol and cause stagger

#

lmao

#

in melee builds

#

idk it feels kinda eh though

hearty panther
#

its solid utility

#

i absolutely was surprised to notice the difference without

bitter turtle
#

yeah

#

i can believe it honestly

hearty panther
#

and frankly the bistol options are all utility

bitter turtle
#

there were a lot of times

hearty panther
#

so pick what you want

bitter turtle
#

in those few games i played with puncture

#

i felt like

#

"i wish I could just shoot thi sand stagger everyone around me" lol

#

its kinda like a mini voc

hearty panther

but staggering a room of gunners with a single shot is very nice

just they cant shoot anyway
