The columnus and graia?

fleet thicket
#

Yeah

coral willow
#

toy
all jokes askde the other ones have like 50% pen essentially and has decent DPS socmight be worth checking out

fleet thicket
#

I got a 380 graia

#

With

#

Death spitter and fire frenzy

#

Manaic and flak

coral willow
#

looks good then

frank basin
#

Columnus is inbetween, while graia has lower dmg has extra features mechanic

fleet thicket
coral willow
#

graia has the stubber mechwnism where ADS increases rof

frank basin
#

Which I use graia

fleet thicket
#

What's the special mechanic ?

frank basin
coral willow
#

columnus is IAG's graia where it iust middle lf the road damage and rof

frank basin
#

M2 = dakka

coral willow
#

you can feel it

frank basin
#

Love graia

#

Stim yourself celerity for overdrive dakka

coral willow

#

Well dah

fleet thicket
#

Really ???? XD

#

This thing already shoot fast

frank basin
coral willow
#

try it first

fleet thicket
#

Does it

#

Decrase it's recoil ???

#

It's ads?

frank basin
#

If you didn’t brace it down it shoot quite slow for me, the ads down input about 20% rof

coral willow
#

probably

#

its bracing

fleet thicket
#

Damn

#

I'm guessing this is the ultimate gun for the ammo goblins

coral willow
#

thats zarona sorry

fleet thicket
#

Fuck that gun

#

I hate it so much

#

So little ammo

frank basin
#

Only myself who like graia because I’m an LMG lover

ah... a future 40k fan in the making

#

Zarona is the best veteran gun

pastel yew
#

its certainly more ammo efficient I guess

faint beacon

#

Plasma is its rival.

faint beacon
#

Poxburster veteran, max wounds and only kill through overheating with the plasma gun

serene bough
#

the new meta is here

frank basin
#

The only thing plasma do is blow up two your hand off

frank basin
#

Zarona doesn’t

frank basin
#

Then eat Medicae

#

I’ll see about it

tall torrent
fleet thicket
#

Of course

#

What else

hearty panther
#

dance of death, my beloved

faint beacon
#

Zarona truly lives rent free in all of our heads with how stupidly strong it is

frank basin
#

500 damage is equally on quick shot plasma

grand perch

except you

hearty panther

make the bulletray not the size of the plasma gun and i might stop hating it so much

Okay big guy

I'm here for da extra rashuns!

frank basin
#

You’re free to go

faint beacon
#

No no, Ogryns are okay

#

It’s just those FILTHY priests and their… DISGUSTING crits and there… melee chains and….

frank basin
#

That things

#

Its scare me

fleet thicket
#

Tbf

#

Zealots think your class is op

#

Cuz your rending

faint beacon
#

Yeah it’s fair I just shit on them for previously how busted FTOF was

#

Now there really isn’t much

#

Zealot is still great

frank basin
#

Because you don’t need throw slugs on enemy when you can hit them with metal object free cost.

faint beacon
#

Give it a few patches if they recognize VOC genuinely needs a nerf

coral willow
#

[zealot is dead]

#

all things aside zealot still does some things unique

#

but like voc plasma psword

faint beacon
#

I would say it’s a few weapons and very select talents that truly can make Veteran overshadow Zealot

pastel yew
#

yup which means either ws or the zarona will get hit with a nuclear nerf dawg rather than just adjusting it so they combo less efficiently

coral willow
#

zarona's stupidness i feel like is extraverted on exec where it can and will oneshot a crusher

pastel yew
#

a lot of points to grab exec just to do that though

faint beacon
pastel yew
#

especially when you're killing in 2-3 anyway

coral willow
#

even outside of that its still quite op so no matter i guess

#

ahahahahaa

pastel yew
#

god bless stacking buffs

faint beacon
#

Nuke it

coral willow
#

ws is wierd its ranged buff would be like stupid op but uhhh idk noone talks about it????

frank basin
#

Am I thinking this is on sedation??

pastel yew
coral willow
#

i mean zarona is still a god on every class i feel like

pastel yew
#

honestly they should remove the free headshots on the zarona though

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

the weapon magnifies head hitboxes or something

coral willow
#

its just not skybusted like in vet

faint beacon
#

It’s the gun itself

frank basin
#

How skillful are you to land headshot on moving chaos spawn?

pastel yew
fleet thicket
#

Zarona is for zealot ammo goblins

pastel yew
#

I don't care about skill floor only skill ceiling

fleet thicket
#

Knife pricks

pastel yew
#

if something is easier to use but not overall way stronger I don't really care ig

coral willow
tall torrent
frank basin
#

Chaos head so tiny and agile

frank basin
#

BoN got blobby on their back

coral willow
#

can orher guns headshot 1tap on zealot?

#

feel like vraks 7 requires a surgical crit

faint beacon
#

HHA but it doesn’t have uh

#

Cleave

pastel yew
#

I wouldn't mind if the zarona just did way more weakspot damage then body damage though

faint beacon
#

Unlike the Zarona

#

That’s the issue

frank basin
#

For krak stick on their head for stagger effect??

coral willow
#

stick anywhere

faint beacon
#

Zarona can completely delete special conga lines whilst the Vraks 7 will maybe kill 2 of the 10

coral willow
#

just needs to stick and it somehow stuns bons

frank basin
#

Per chances?

coral willow
#

but each shot requirex the crit

#

least ofr gunners

pastel yew
tall torrent
faint beacon
#

Zarona only needs 1

#

If they’re lined up

tall torrent
#

Vraks 7 doesn’t need Crit for Gunner 1 shot

pastel yew
#

theres nothing more infuriating than firing a shot and having 1 pixel of railing or corner cancel your shot

coral willow
#

how do i build this thing then :(

tall torrent
coral willow
#

yeah zealot kinda shafted rn

tall torrent
coral willow
#

fair point

pastel yew
#

yeah the last patch killed any interest I had in playing zealot

#

I'm glad I have 2 other stacked classes to play instead

frank basin
#

I run Exe stance with Agrip revolver once time🤠

pastel yew

#

zealot is still good but im spamming "zealot is dead" until vet/psyker issue is dealt with

Okay okay hear me out, what if the big box of hurt on Ogryn would roll random grenade types so you’d get like…

IT WOULD BE FUNNY THOUGH

i gave up fotf after it couldnt 2shpt crushers but ye this basically feels a different gameplay than anythign vet offers

Guys

#

What is agri revolver good at killing ?

pastel yew
#

specials n bosses

faint beacon
#

Does it have carapace armor? No, you can kill it quickly

coral willow
#

oh yeah fotf also has HP damage immunity to poxbursters

frank basin
#

I still don’t understand the meaning of iframes

tall torrent
faint beacon
#

Allows you to do things without being immediately punished for remotely thinking of pressing a button

pastel yew
#

still so sad on the armor pen being removed from the dash tho, rest in pieces shotgun or laspistol if you wanna run a non armor pierce melee BelieverCry

faint beacon
#

If FOTF didn’t have it, I’d honestly wonder how people could manage that

pastel yew
#

killing 3 crushers with a laspistol was good while it lasted

frank basin
#

Ws + boltpistol xiiig chainsword; is this commissar build?

pastel yew
#

bet the chainsword would sound real nice with the increased attack speed

#

not as nice as zealot tho big rip

tall torrent
#

If only veteran had an ability that gave them 100% melee rending to 1 shot crushers on any chain weapon

frank basin

On zealot would be uhhh momentum and fotf; crazy commissar

# hearty panther TDR?

wasn't it at the start when there wasn't bleed through on anything so vets and psykers could basically be invincible

oh i guess the most OP thing ever was ogryn trigging lucky bullet on empty mags

launch powersword with its seven energized swings

it wouldnt hold up today just cause all the enemy buffs

the chainswords are fine

Yeah that’s what I’ve been using the non heavy las pistol

pastel yew
#

not really super special at anything

frank basin
#

The xiiig I mainly use for crowd control light attack

livid fractal
#

do I need a good roll for it to be good? or can I mess around with a basic roll to see if i like it

foggy granite
pastel yew
#

you can make anything work in higher difs though it's just a skill thing, you'll get the hang of it

#

I would probably take krak grenades tho

foggy granite
#

The chainsword is basically my oh shit button

#

I love krak

pastel yew

as dealing with crushers with a chainsword sounds like PANIK

that ain't bad at all

Foggy memory did he mention about dmg falloff?

do recons have reverse damage drop off

thats exactly its niche

#

honestly tho idk what else to really put on

#

well

#

yes to dumdum

#

but dumdum and what

#

boooooooooo

#

i dun like it, its a layer of rng that frustrates me

#

i did susfire for a bit with the II

#

since im basically just always doing agile engagement shit

#

that seemed ok

last parcel
hearty panther
#

you just need the one crit for two infernus stacks and thats generally enough in a salvo

#

that i can do what azrael said above

#

which is just move on from the target and let it die

#

also was doing psyker recon recently and true aim + headhunter seems very goofy

#

cause ya even with no added crit you can be pretty sure that in a 10 round burst you'll get at least one crit out of it

#

not even counting reciprocity or deadshot or other memes

#

i guess the way to phrase it is

pastel yew
#

more that its just really consistent boss damage if you're unable to hit their weakspot which is when you'd otherwise shred

#

though you could always take something else

hearty panther
#

that headhunter i would see DPS swings of a couple hundred or so

#

but with infernus i could reliably pull off a burst of the same length and know that the target would die

#

with a consistent outcome

#

and thats what i value more in the end

#

even if one can do the bigger number

pastel yew
#

that's fair, it is nice to know that an enemy is gonna die and immediately go to someone else

#

and let them die to burn stacks

livid fractal
#

worth a nab?

hearty panther
#

nah

#

your next two upgrades would have to be pretty much perfect

neon estuary
#

i would stick with finding a good one with good perks and blessings for which is gonna take alot of money and resources

#

Like this one

#

come to think of it, i'll would trade infernus for headhunter for effective crit damage

#

just curious, which recon lasgun is better? because i've been conflicted about it

gilded rock
clear lantern
dreamy spade
#

hmm idk whether to use Executor or Mercy Killer, i have serrated blade and frags, but also trench fighter and weapon specialist so i can stack Executor quick

somber axle
#

I still don't know why the discord blocks this but sharing it anyway until a mod tells me to stop LOL

#

The best general use Recons are the Recon Mk II and Recon Mk VIIa

#

There's not really a best Recon for anything and everything

#

All the Recons do different things better than the others

#

My best advice is to just pick which ever you find to be the most fun because there's no wrong answer

last parcel
#

the only wrong answer is not using recon chadgryn

somber axle
#

The wrongest answer is going Kantrael Mk IV with an autoclicker and saying it's a Recon

gilded rock
#

I gotta roll up a new 7a that doesn't have infernus nomnomnom

pastel yew

#

i think i'll just go with the high damage one and give it a dumdrum and a headhunter. That would be a good choice for a recon lasgun for effective headshots without aiming down the sights in close quarters

Slug is the only reason you take that shotgun. It's reserve ammo you need you worry about.

Looks like you have 101 specialist kills on that one.

lusty sapphire
#

So uhm boltpistol IS kinda fun, decent hs dmg with MF tree nodes. The problem is you don't want it to be your main weapon and you want more of the melee nodes from weapon specialist

#

Needless to say you don't get enough points for it so the build is fun but doesn't hit as hard as it should

#

37 bullets to take out crusher with headshots

#

(mk2 recon)

#

I tried it with & without onslaught and always rending. it was 37 bullets without onslaught, ~70 bullets without (but with rending still)

#

uhm... weapon specialist, voice of command, shredder nades, superiority complex, melee buffs

#

was debating the 30% headshot damgage vs supression so it might be that. I was taking suppression for the moment

#

superiority

#

I normally take it, but wasnt sure if I would need detrmined or not. Didnt have another point to get both

#

But its still gonna take like 30 shots even with it

#

I normally get longshot too but having both rending & onslaught sure makes your choices less flexible

#

Why not? I tested it before (w/ plasma) and it seemed like a good 1 poitner

#

Nah I like confirmed kill & close order drill

#

Is that a hidden nerf? The point still says the same thing

ah https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/hotfix-42-1-4-2-patch-notes/96810 will also increase the power of specific Talents tied to Close Damage such as Veteran’s ‘Close Quarters Killzone’ and Zealot’s ‘Anoint in Blood’ which we will monitor closely.

This also nerfs Veteran’s Longshot talent because now the range in which attacks against enemies do not get buffed is pushed further to 12.5m (from 8m).

I've really been enjoying the bolt pistol on veteran. Folks keep saying its a worse revolver, but I ain't feeling that. Feels much nicer to doink gunners with when they're spaced out and I like the faster reload.

faint beacon
#

it is in the sense of its handling and recoil, but I mean you really can't compare anything to the Zarona

shadow urchin
#

Maybe? Never used the bolt gun

faint beacon
#

cause the Zarona is just the best gun in the game hands down

placid portal
faint beacon
#

Its literally a swiss army knife on all classes

shadow urchin
#

Then by that logic, every gun is a worse revolver, and I don't think its fair to single out the bolt pistol

faint beacon
#

its just THAT good

#

yeah, its why I dont like comparing the top tier meta weapons to like

#

so-so, or slight niche weapons

#

Zarona w/ Agri

#

or like

#

Plasma w/ Boltgun

#

there isn't a point

shadow urchin
#

Agri makes you feel like a cowboy, and there ain't nothing that compares there

#

I think outside of the similar MKs, making such comparisons isn't super helpful.

faint beacon
#

there's a reason I praise the AAIG and GIAG and fucking despise the CIAG

#

I might be a slight hipster in that regards

#

but I seriously despise how fucking STRONG the CIAG is

shadow urchin
#

(Although on the topic, I'm not too fond of the MKs that are the same gun but with different RoF/Damage per shot, I like when MKs are really novel takes on the same gun. Like folks may trash talk the Agri revolver but it is fundamentally different from Zarona while still being a revolver, which is A+ MKsmanship if I do say so myself).

#

I also have beef with the melee mks that are the same but with a slightly different moveset. I think they should at least have unique specials, considering the term.

faint beacon
#

Some of them do and some of them dont

#

I dont really mind that the Mks have different movesets, just... I think they need to find a balance around them

#

I mean to be fair they have with a handful of weapons

#

just some... others... tend to not follow that rule

shadow urchin
#

I just think MKs are a great opportunity for creating some wicked variations on a weapons core theme/concept, and a lot of the MKs FS has put out recently do a much better job of being more distinct in their own right.

faint beacon
#

Honestly good point I think they fucking NAILED the Mks with the picks and Shauls

shadow urchin

I would agree, good MKsmanship (Yes, I'm going to be using that term from now on, sorry).

I’ve had a lot of success with this Using WS the both barrels blessing. Both barrels with WS and a reload speed perk suddenly makes the alt fire on this bad boy semi automatic (in 5 seconds spurts) and boy oh boy can you rip through some big boys with that, even crushers!

#

Sorry I meant to say maulers not crushers, reading this again it looks like you’re trying to make this a big boy stopper, clearly I’ve been using it for special and horde clear. And for that manstopper probably is necessary.

That said if you have the both barrels perk unlocked give this play style a shot, it’s so fun and you can always carry krak grenades .

Brutal can let you double your bruisers killed in a swing, sunder gives you extra damage on the heavies but most importantly gives you a dickload more cleave for hitstun. Also lets your swings continue despite hitting carapace.

you just have a far higher chance of t4 on your second blessing from what I am aware

surge for the voidstrike (only has a t4 variant), power cycler, manstopper on the new shotty

manstopper only has tier 2 so funnily enough being high level fucks you

Are bleeds worth taking as a weapons specialist? I've got agile engagement anyway, and there's a bonus against bleeding enemies on my knife (I can change it to something else if there's a better blessing)

I think charge speed/warp nexus is better personally

honestly I wouldn't be surprised if charge speed and warp nexus was better

but it's definitely not as satisfying

If you were going to spam uncharged shots anyway then it's strong

But those lack in cleave and damage

pastel yew

also are you sure it only does uncharged shots?

junior needle

Ye I'm pretty sure the extra is uncharged

I guess it doesn't matter either way since it makes breakpoints to one shot everything that isn't a boss

the only time I've ever had someone beat me on the scoreboard when I was playing plasmagun vet (that wasn't another plasmagun) was surge voidstrike
